The presidents position on the Gu
ban question commends itself to the
great majority of Americans. He con-
dennis the brutal methods of Weyler and
deplores the continuance. of the strug-
Gle. At the same time he says that the
Spanish ministry has made such appar-
emily honest efforts to conduct the war
after approved modern methods and
has offered a basis of settlement to the
insurgents so liberal to them that it
ought to be given a reasonable time to
end the struggle. In case this fails.
the president favors Intervention.

But on each glad return from school

All sad indeed to say farewell
At Fate's unkind behest,
And leave for ave each winsome dell

Henceforth 10 dwell where'cr ! might
And live hv hook or crook;
And wistful gaze adown LIES vale,

Which sought the pasture bars pell-mel
Or,gfth the halter on my arm
