(Air, "Greenand's Icy Mountains.o From Cubas broad plantation, From Porto Rico's shore, Where long the Spanish nation Hath spent Che land In gore; From Philippines dark daughter, From Carolines fair strand, The cry comes OCT the water "Oh, stay the tyrant's hand!' What though the ground down Cuban, Starved out, crawls off to die, Though crimes the most inhuman Have drawn the Malay cry; Though long and distant thunder Hath told the coming storm, Yet Spain, by crime and blunder, Hath stiied just reform. Shall we whose arms are strengthened By freedom dearly bought Permit the season heightened Ere Spain be better taught? On with the righteous thunder Of cannon, ball and shell! While old world nations wonder Deal justice full and well. Flash, flash, ye wires of lightning! Resound, ye telephones! For freedoms star. is bright'ning And Spain's dark tyrant groans. Humanity forever!' Let fair Columbia sing, Till freedom, dying never, Alone be Cuba's king Postmaster Howarth spoke in part as potrioticp1 ic atfrihltpd a tn m
 sect, and yet, in my opinion, our suc-
 cess as a nation is to be attributed to it more perhaps than to any other source. It was to the mothers and their instruction that has
 made it possible that in this war, our heroes spring up at every hand. Spain
 has no such heroes; and no nation has them, that places woman on low level Thank God for the women of America.
 The cause of this war has been the low education of the Spanish people; it is because of their gross ignorance. Santiago was one of the first conquests l of Spain, one of the oldest settlements in the western hemisphere. The people of that city have been kept in the greatest ignorance. The people were boxed to the very last dollar. They did not even have pure air. The time came to us; 1t was our priv 1 ilege and our destiny. We could not have interfered thirty years ago. We | had then that curse-slavery. We had l the men for the time and slavery was crushed out. After that came our phe- nomenal growth. There Is no nation on earth where so many homes are | owned by the people. We have raised a great many people who are not proud of this country and they went abroad. Twenty-Five years ago the American vessel Virginius was captued in San tiago. The crew of fortyfive were ex- ecuted. After twenty-five years the 1 Spanish flag is hauled down at San tiago and the Stars and Stripes are | raised in it's place and God grant they may never come down until a people who are worthy to govern shall be rais- | ed up.
 President Mckinley is the man who i has been raised up, who Is equal to the present occasion. When the Maine was | blown up, believe the president knew that war was inevitable but we were not ready. When we were partially | ready, war was declared. I have a son at Mantle. He has been there eleven
