Should Not Adjourn-
The people of this country will
stroqgly oppose an adjournment of
Congress at this time It is not put
ting it too strongly to say that au ad
journment of Congress during the
■ progress of hostilities would arouse
surprise and indignation throughout
the .Union, says the Macon News
While the nation is at war, it is not
1 a tipie for its war and peace making
power to desert its post of duty. It
1 would be the same under all ciroum
, stances and all administrations. It is
1 especially the case at a time when we
know that the disappearance of Con
i gress would expose Mr. McKinley to
the combined assaults of all the ma
lign influences which formerly envel
oped him and which have only been
dispersed and defeated for the time
being by the irresistable forces of the
whole nation, speaking through its
legislature.
But once let Congress adjourn and
the flag of Hanna, McCook, and their
co-couspirators will he hoisted to the
main peak again, and the President
add country will have more to fear
from the assaults of its adherents,
than from anything the Spaniards
could do to us. While wears fighting
i the Spaniards at the front, we must
; ksepAsatch on Reid, Hanna, Hale,
i McCook, and their gang in out tear.
