las a matter CT fact. persons who are ac-
customed to the quiet and solitude OF rural
life speak in a very low tone of voice.
while those who live In the constant din
and nerve-racking noises OF the city nat
urally acquire the habit of talking loudly.
The reason for the difference is plain.
When you city folks meet on the street
you have to elevate your voices to a high
Pitch in order to make yourselves heard.
I never come to 81. Louis or visit any
other large city that I don't soon get q
sore throat from ovcrexerting my voice.
OF course, you who live here are used to
the strain on your voice ard don't suffer
from II as i do
III you ever heard an Indian talk you
will realize the force OF what ! say. I
never cav a real Indian that spoke much
above q whisper. He illustrates exactly
what l mean. The Indian lives In quiet
and solitude. His atmosphere Is not filled
with noises and tympanum- piercing sounds.
Consequently, he does not have to elevate
his voice in carrying on conversation. Your
city arab, the counterpart of the Indian,
talks loud enough when he comes to Ar.
kansas to b heard In the next county.

the Hon. Mark A. Hanna, champion heavy

Robert Fiizsimmons, who holds the belt for

larger broader and more erect, and he looks
as If he might strike more powerful blow If

M'AINLEY AND CUBA.

All reports from Washington are TO the
effect that the action of the Republicans
OF the House of Representatives in refu =
ing to consider the Morgan resolution
recognizing the belligerency of the Cuban
patriots was not que to any lack of sym.
pathy with the struggling people of the
island, but solely to desire 10 avoid any,
thing like an attempt at forcing the hand
OF the administration. 1t is well under
stood by the Repu blicans that the Presi-
dent desires to secure for Cuba peace with
independence, and they intend to leave
him free hand to accom plish that result.
Confidence in the intention and ability
OF the President to carry out the pledge of
the National platform on the Cuban ques-
ton is felt by all classes of Republicans
Even the most ardent OF Cuban sympa-
thizers are not disturbed by the seeming
delay Of the administration. In letter
read at the recent Cuban mass-meeting in
Washington Senator Chandler exprt ssed
the conviction of the stanch friends of
the patriots on the subject by saying:
There need be little fear that these pledges
will be violated. President Mckinley willingly
recognizes the binding force of the platform
upon which he was elected. and will soon do
his part toward making Cuba free AID indie
pendent. He may proceed with what will
seem to impatient spirits to be undue caution,
with the cries and groans ringing in his ears
OF unarmed men, women and children
enduring inhuman cruelty and dastardly
murder, but he will not fail TO be faithful to
his pledges. and he will before long register
the decree which went forth in his trium plant
election, that Cuba should be taken from the
control of Spain and made peaceful and
independent.
In this faith in great party and its Presi-
dent, let us rest patiently and most hopefully.
1t is in that faith the Republicans of the
House are now waiting. They will do
nothing to complicate the situation or
render the duty OF the President more
difficult. When he is prepared to act,
however, ne can count on prompt support
from the House. The very strength by
which the majority brushed aside Bailey s
attempts to force a consideration of the
Morgan resolution is proof that it will
be able to act with vigor when the right
time comes.
