In the, event o: Grant's failure to coerce the South, war with Spain is his next move. W canDot believe, though, that after the many indignant expressions North ani South that the people will subumii tamely to this one-man power. It har gone on sufficiently long already. Bu1 that the extremest measures will b4 tried by Grant there can be no questiot of.
