A Mistake by Roosevelt.

Some Of the apprehensions of the Republican

just what he is doing. They nervous about

Mckinley during his visit to the West.
Anybody who will take the trouble to
look over other campaign addresses of
Mr. Mckinley viii discover that the
quality is d new one to him. Even in
1896, when he was running for office on
a gold platform that outraged his fl
nancial principles, he was always lucid.
Instead Of using rhetoric to conceal his
ideas, he simply steered clear of the
obnoxious subject and allowed others TO
assert what his convictions prevented
him from telling. 1T would be interest
ing to know whose influence has led
him into this vicious oratOrical prac-
tice. Mr.. Cleveland was supposed to
be the superlative champion of the OBJ
vious, but even he never announced as
a new and valuable discovery that two
and two make four. or that the um-
brageous night succeeds the dazzling
day, with more feryor and feeling than
President Mckinley does. In his ambi-
tious address at the Chicago banquet.
last night, he took up the subject of
the war with Spain and its results. 1t
seems inevitable that in a long speech
on that subject he must give some in
dication of his policy in relation to the
Philippines. but after wildly applaud
ing his eloquent sentences, the hearers
were wholly unable to guess what they
meant. The tone, at least. was touch

OUR FIGHTING MATERIAL.

All of the military attaches of the for
eign legations who were in the Santiago
campaign agree that the American SOL
dier has what they call the Initiative
that is worth more than training and dis
cipline They bear out the following
statement of the Review of Reviews:
The average young American has
grown up with habit of thinking and
acting for himself: and when he goes
a-soldiering he is capable OF throwing as
much personal zeal into charges like
those at Santiago as If he We're fighting a
duel and the fate of his country and all
he held dear depended upon his personal
exploits The weIl-drilled troops of E,u-
ropean countries are formidable enough.
certainly. But there are resources of in
tense personality in such men as, for in
stance, the members of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt's regiment OF Rough Riders
that count in a crisis for a great deal
more than the passive mechanical excel
lence of the trained soldiery of the mill
tary powers. 1t is not boaSting, but the
sober truth, to say that no other nation
possesses in the great mass of its popu-
lation any such large percentage of fight
ing material Great Britain has in her
young men of the higher classes, from
whom she draws her officers, as brave
and capable an element as can be found
in the world. But her farm laborers are
no more to be compared with the sons
of American farmers than with an Aus
tralian football team. Nor are the young
men of her industrial centers-Manches-
ter, Sheffield and the rest-in any manner
equal to the young men of American
towns in physical development or in per-
sonal initiative and adaptability. There
is something, of course. in the life of
young countries that develops individual
force, and the qualities which give supe-
riority to American soldiers would be
found in like manner. undoubtedly. in
Canada or Australia, if the young men
of those freedom-ioving lands were en-
gagged in a foreign war

Spain's Great Building.
(From the New York WORLDLY

Spain possesses one of the largest buildings in
the world 1t is at once a palace. museum. a
library, picture gallery, monastery, church,
and burial place. This wonderful edifce is
called the Escorial, although the is very
generally corrupted. both in England and Amer
ica into '.Escural.'
The Escorial commenced in 1868 by order
of Philip II of Spain, and intended partly
as royal burying place TO- the kings of Spain
and partly as a commemoration of Philips victory
over the French at ST. Quentin in 1857. 1t is
built entirely of granite and measures IA feet
in length by SEQ feet in breadth. AT each corner
is a tower 200 feet in height The building is
supposed to represent enormous gridircn lying
upside down, and this shape IS believed TO have
reference to st. Lawrence, who was martyred on
a gridiron.
Twenty-one years was spent in building it, and
it cost over $I2 OO80G0. 1t has been twice partly

tinctive in American life, when he died.
There are no words to measure the loss
to mankind.

General Dodge would probably receive
propositions TO construct bride for wit
nesses-something that would allow him
to shut off their flow of language by
touching a button. Major Frye, a sur
geon at Jacksonville, gave no indications
of being loaded with unpleasant facts
when he took the stand, but when the
Commissioners relaxed their vigilance,
supposing he was only another witness
who wanted promotion for shielding the
War Department, he began to tell about
the abuse of the sick soldiers. Dodge
was too startled for a moment to shut
him off, and before the closure was eff
fected he had told good many ugly
truths about the incompetents who got
into the service through political pulls.
1t was a facer, but care will be taken to
prevent another such surprise.

The statement of Secretary Alger that
Colonel Bryan has not asked to be muster

newspaper has charged him with being
more anxious to get out than he was to
get in" Secretary AIger does not answer
the charge that Colonel Bryan has been
the subject of petty prosecutions intended
TO put him in bad light. because the
facts are too we'll known to be denied. We
do not believe President Mckinley has
been a party to such a contemplate
scheme. but at least he might have asked
Colonel Bryan whether he wished to leave
