A lew things should always be kept in I' mind about it in order that we . may have a clear view as to its . in oral bearings. War is a very k' bad thing in many respects. Hut ^ there are some worse things than war. . 1. What are the c<inm>n of this war? Here a statement of facts is all important. Spain lias had possession o! the . island since iis discovery and has always been oppressive, overbearing,'cruel. Several times in i!< last sixty years the peopl have revoueu an?i tried tr? throw on the Spanish yoke. They did so in , 1 SoO. War i.:.. d the: ;:om 5c ? ' to dSTS.

This war, on our part, is not waged for the sake of war or Irotn bloodthirstiness but to prevent war; to stop the war ini ( n/?v(- t;\ ni'ii:o ^n?ii n irnt ~'"w" * > ' I f-e 1 i out oi" this hemisphere thus removing the occasion of further disturbances. Kxperts in history and the science of* government say that, if alter the destruction; of the Maine, out government had! 1 kept quiet, we would have invited !
