The Lord God of Hosts’ d the old, undiluted Republican party were his U twin deitiep jand¢ he was always . loyal to both. The Jacksonville Metropolis has discovered a ‘“‘Governor McNeil of Alabama.” And yet Former Gover nor O'Neil of that State probably thought he made fame enough dur inghis term of office to carry his correct name to the uttermost of the republic. i Y The legislature is not far away and soon we may take our wearied minds away from a war in which no decisive battle i8 ever fought and neither side seems to get anywhere, and fasten them on those nobler combats of the solons in which no widows and orphans are made and we are not compelled to dance on the edge of a perilous neutrality. SRR There is nothing essentially wrong in & “punk” meda] campaign to rajse money for a good cause, as there is no fraud, decepton or com pulsion about the transaction, but there is a popular prejudice against it because of the absence of a con ¢rete quid pro quo to appeal to our sense of a fair bargain for both sides. Whether she intended to or not, Jacksonville gave out the im pression that she intended to pre qent the people of Florida with the grounds, buildings and general mechanism of & permanent State fair, the rest of the State to hbe asked to furnish only its share of the exhibits and the crowds; but now comes the revelation that there is to be a bhutton eelling canvas of the State to ralse money to finance the scheme. It may work, but we doubt it, and the Orlando Reporter . Star is probably right when it says that if such a catch penny plan is telled on to materlalize the exposi tion, there is little likelihood of ever peeing it in Jacksonville. There seemed to be enormous enthusiasm {n that city on the subject. Why not coin it into dallars to foot the dils? gt NOT YET REACHED THAT STAGE ‘The New York World is, take it one day with another, the wisest and ablest paper in the United States on its editorial page. There is no stylist on it like Henry Watterson to illuminate its columns with the revolving flashlights of genius, al ways fascinating, but often mis- leading; but there is clear, compre. hensive, sound judgment without rancor or hysterics, or the sacrifice of sane, temperate thought to mere phrase making, and reaching for literary effect (a weakness Uncle Henry is not above) and on the great questions now in the public mind the World is really a great leader and has a great following. There is no fine writing, no sub. tle, ingenious reasoning, no venting of prejudice or temper in the fol lowing conclusion of that paper as to what this country should do with Mexico, but it is the very essence of common sense and high statesman- ship, and in grateful contrast with the shriekings of the intervention ists: “President Wilson has made every effort short of war to end the de. plorable conditions in Mexico, and he has even made war in a way. Thus far al] his hopes have been frustrated by the folly of Mexicans. The president would undoubtedly be more vopular at home if he had been less patient. President McXinley was abused like a pickpocket be cause he sought to avoid war with Spain, and recovered his popularity only after war became inevitable. It I8 as easy to criticize Mr. Wil- son’s temporizing policy as it was to criticize Mr. McKinley's temporiz- ing policy, but one thing ought to be plain to every semsible citizen., fntervention in Mexico would be a 5 ity to the United States, and is not fobe undertaken except as a 1ast desperate resort. Bad as the situation may be, we have not yet away. He finally had to send for Bull Durham To Bac Her?
