Va., as eecond-closs mattet (FRIDAY, APRIL 22, lSDS. "DAMFOOL1 SM." I Senator White, of California, is evi? dently one of those gentlemen who believe that nothing can be so bud but that It might be worse. He can see no reason for the war about lo be inaugurated against Spain and croaked all kinds of dismal warnings as to what will happen and what posterity will think of us. He even goes lo the extent of coining a new word to lit the exigencies of the case. But here are the Senator's remarks; let t hem speak for themselves: "The limit of damfoolisiu has not yet been reached. We are about to be plunged into a foolhardy cunliicl with Spain, which wc will regret when this present trouble is reviewed in a sober, dispassionate manner. "All the great thinkers, students and writers will condemn the Unit? ed States when they have the tacts before them. I deprecate war, but when it is a useless sacrifice of blood and treasure it is doubly damnable.". Of course the United States had a battleship blown up and 200 of its sailors and marines were murdered, but that was much better than if it had been a fleet and a thousand men had been killed. Cuba has been de? vastated and thousands of men. wom? en and children have been starved, but that is much better than if the number ran up into the millions. What Is the use of fighting so long as peace can be secured at any price? It is sad to think that posterity will have such a poor opinion of the pres? ent generation, but when a patriotic nation decides that the course adopt? ed Is right and proper and Spain makes it absolutely impossible to avert hos? tilities we presume it will be a diffi? cult matter to placate posterity and Mr. White. In fact It is by no means certain that a large majority of Amer? icans are worrying much about either. Spain's action in giving Minister Woodford his passports and breaking off diplomatic relations with the Unit? ed States is by no means surprising As a matter of fact it is entirely in keeping with Spain's unreasonable stand in its dealings with this coun tr. The President of the United States went almost to the point of dis? gusting patriotic Americans in his efforts to preserve peace, but all concessions and arguments seem to have been unavailing. The President now realizeB that the proper policy is to strike quickly and sharply and Im? press on Spain by armed force a les? son which it seems incapable of learn? ing in any other manner. War is too "terrible to be considered with any de? gree of complacency, but when Injus? tice and oppression bold sway the best and simplest way to put them down is by the strong right arm of tie- govern? ment. It is possible that the thirteenth AI phonso of Spain, in his thirteenth year, may experience what supersl tious persons term a "black Friday." KBJW AJDVBRTISE3MTEJNT9.
