The Union considers the question of "Democracy against Diplomacy—The President's position"—as illustrated in the Administration's conduct in the Koszta affair. The editor holds that diplomacy has chained down the various peoples of Europe up to this time, rather than the brute force which despotism employs, and argues to show how powerful for the cause of civil liberty, the out-spoken Democracy of the President's position on the Koszta affair, really is. We gather from this leader the conclusion that the Administration entertain no idea of failing to back its demands for the release of Koszta, as circumstances may render practical backing of its words necessary.
