TIH'HSDAV, APRIL 7, 1898.
J-et it Come,
The Cuiumuclk is jio jingo, or lire
•eater. It knows from experience
what war in its worst aspect is. and
lias persistently dupl icated tliecomse
of those statesmen and newspapers,
who have been eager to plunge the
country into war. But the Ciiron
Ici.k has only advised moderation
and justice in dealing with the Span
iards. It has never advocated peace
at the sacrifice of honor and integri
ty; in other words, peace at any
price, as seems to be Hie desire of
some newspapers. This country has
acted with dignity and moderation in
Its dealings with Spain, but to no
purpose. This country should pre
sent a solid front to the barbarians,
and not only chastise them for the
inhuman warfare they have waged
upon helpless women and children,
but at the same time avenge the in
tuilt to our llag and the dastardly
murder of 200 American seamen.
