WAR FOR HUMANITY.
MIR. Bryan Is Against tho Conquest of
Territory.

Omaha, Neb., June 1.-THE Nebraska
building at the exposition was dedicated
today with appropriate ceremony amid
the plaudits of thousands of citizens.
Coy. Holbrook took part in the-exercises,
together with many of the states most
distinguished residents. The speakers
were Hon. Constantine j. Smith,, Hon.
VIM. T. Gurley and Hon. VIM. ]. Bryan.
MIR. Bryan's Grafton was notable for
his first declaration of the war issue.
He urged that the war was for humanity
and not for the extension of the United
States territory. In concluding, he said
that the manifest destiny of this nation
out TO carry out the fundamental princi-
pies OF democracy to the end that
equaHty among citizens might be secured.
Mr.. Bryan in part said:
war is attended by hardship and suffer-
ing; 1t means a vast expenditure of men
ana money: We may well pray for the
coming of the time when the spears shall
be beaten into pruning hooks and the
swords into plough shares; but universal
peace cannot come until justice is en-
throned throughout the world. Until the
right has triumphed in every land and
love reigns IN every heart a government
must as last resort, appeal to force.
Our nation exhausted diplomacy In it's
efforts to secure a peaceful solution of
the Cuban question and only took up
arms when it was compel ID to choose
between war and servile acquiescence in
oruelties which would have been dis
grace to barbarism.
History will Evindicate the Eposition
taken by the United States in the war
with Spain. In saying this, L assume
that the principles which were invoked
in the Inauguration OF the war will be
observed in its prosecution and conclu-
sion. If a contest undertaken for the
sake of humanity degenerates into war
of conquest, we shall find it difficult to
meet the charge of having added hypo-
cracy to greed
