WEExjx-NORWALK-i .u, . ’lAZ ‘ l .J l‘ T E 'Truth above all things.’ Entered in the Post Office as a. Newspaper FRIDAY, MARCH 25. 1898. A United Press. Our venerable contemporary, the Bos- ton Post, “the representative Democra- tic paper of New England,” unfurls the flag Of our Union at the head of its edi- torial page, defines its position in sev- 3-3:; words, “Peace with honor or war 's'ith victory,” and follows this admira- alc beginning with a plea for “a united are)” so timely, patriotic, and sensi- ble that we produce it in full, as fol- lows, says the Washington Post: “In. the impending crisis we have a uni-ted Congress and a united public sentiitwmt sustaining the President. Now let us hope that we have one more element of unity —~a united press. “The American press has not brought on. this trouble. It did not start the Cal m war-,or blow up the battle-ship Maine. Itisthe hard facts that have pm .luced the present conditions, not the setting forth of the 'facts by the p: :55. And in. the situation which ll: use facts have produced the press snould be found closely united in sup- port of the government. “Let us have. no doughfaces among , the press of the United States, and let us have no papers which place com- mercialism above patriotism. ”The President, electediby the peo- ~ple'of the country, stands for the coun- try: in this crisis. Let us be slow to disparage him. Let us be quick to en- courage and sustain him in those ef- forts which in his best judgment he puts forth to uphold the dignity, the honor, and the interests of the country. If we are to drift into war, or be forced into war, there should be behind the President, not only a united Congress and: a united people. but a loyal and united press." None.- Of. the three foreign wars in which this country has engaged has ”found the people of New England—«or for that matter, of any. section of the ‘lflnitcd States in support of the govern- ment. If we are to have war with Spain, that old condition will be reversed. Congress has set the most splendidly :impgessfive example in our history by the solid unity of its action in the fifty- ‘miliion appropriation. There are no in lower partisans, no men more ready or . anoreg-lad to contend for party at any fitting time, no men who believe more firmly that they are right and their op— ponents wrong, than a large part of the membership of Congress. The simple fact that this’body, acting for the peo- ple and the States, put all party is- sues out of sight, and made haste to as-' sure the President of the support of all parties and factions united as Americah pat-riots, is. a lesson of incalculable value. It. proves, as scarcely anything else could have done, strength of our government. If any- thing could make for peace, that lesson . will. And, if “peace with honor” can- not be brought out of the troubled con- ditions, that lesson points to the earli- esa possible victory in the conflict upon which. duty will compel the Nation to chi-er. Why may not the press, like the peo- ple and their Congress, be united in the." impending crisis 2’ It requires no Sacrifice of principle, no surrender of lacifef or conviction. for the newspapers can parties and the non-partisan pa- paya to get togetherand hold together tiii the end of this chapter in our his- tory. Here is an issue that may well be permitted to dominate all others un- til it is. settled. In the campaign of 1896 'we had a political issue which sent a million or more of anti-protection voters into the host that voted for the author of the McKinley tariff, and caused an army of prOtectionists to rally with the enemies of that doctrine in support of Bryan. Congress, by its action. on the "peace appropriation” of SEQ,000,000, to be used in strengthening em defenses, has shown that, in the Wence of a greater and more press- chg issue, the line of party demarkation 'Hfisuppears. Why may not the press Hollow that example ? Why may not We few newspapers which are trying on mix the silver issue with this emer- gmcy, and those few which, while pro- ducing to support the President, miss no. chance of stabbing him in the back, get a. new inspiration from the example ti! Congress .’ . The Post hopes for peace in spite of at}. the indications of a. rupture. It mines that Spain will not compel the ‘Wted States to make choice between Em and. dishonor—«for in that .event Winstantaneous answer will be war. But, whatever, may be the outcome“ of P ’ whoSe devotion to liberty has been at- the inherent - l existing conditions, the occasion is oue ; that calls for unity of purpose and ac- . tion among all the agencies that are in- fluential in molding public opinion. Our Boston contemporary shows a just appreciation of patriotic duty in its plea for a united press. Mr. Proctor’s Cuban Report. Senator Proctor’s clear, dispassionate and convincing description of the exist- ing desolation in Cuba will carry more weight and impress. the country more than» all the highly colored reports of special correspondents, all the spread- eagle speeches and all the excited ap- peals of Cuban committees that have been or can be printed. We have all read, at one time or another, every- thing that Mr. Proctor has to tell, but the facts have not before been marshal- ed in such solemn array or with such overwhelming force. The speech is felt to be that of all in- telligent and responsible observer, who has spared no pains to reach the truth and to keep his statement well within its bounds. He speaks without passion, without ulterior motive, with no polit. ical point to make, but simply that the Senate and and 'the American people may know the exact conditions which exist. His statement thus has all the force of an official report, with the add- ed authority of personal confidence, and it will go farther than anything that has been printed to strengthen the hands of the administration in any actiou it may determine to take for the rescue of suffering Cuba. It is unnecessary to repeat here any- thing that Mr. Proctor tells of the con- dition of the island, where Spain holds nothing but what the army actually oc- cupies and “pacification” has been ef- fected by driving the inhabitants into prison pens and keeping them there to starve. Of course, the frightfulcruelty of this policy has been much abated under General Blauco, but the utter hopelessness of the rehabitation of Cu- ba under Spanish rule, autonomous or otherwise, Is not less apparent that the vast recuperative possibilities of the is- land if peace and liberty could be as- sured. His hopeful trust in the Cubans them— selves is oneof the most significant feat- ures of Mr. Prort-or’s report, for it is on this point that most Americans feel the gravest doubts. 'He gives little at- tention to any exaggerated pretentious of the existing insurgent government, but he has evident confidence in . the character and capacity of the people, 'tested under the worst misgovernment known in modern times, and it is this confidence that is needed to give intel- ligent directi0n to the sympathy that is alread v universal. \Vhatevcr the outcome of recent and present complications with Spain,every- body in the United States has felt that at some time and in some way, and that very Soon, the protection of this govern- ment must be extended to the Cubans.- It is important for us all to know the actual conditions, and not the mere sentiments, that have justified our re- monstrances to Spain, and in explain- ing these conditions, as he has done, in a manner that carries complete convic- tion, the Senator from Vermont has done a service not only to Cuba, but to his countrymen and to humanity. —— ~40- IlllW T0 Flllll 001'.
