STILL FIGHTING BRYAN.

In the absence OF any other excuse
for fighting Colonel Bryan, the Boston
Journal manL-actures a falsehood of
its own. which it uses for a text.
it says that "a great many soldiers
of Colonel Bryan's Third Nebraska reg
iment have insisted in going over to the
First and Second"
If that were true it would simply
show that the men who showed their
confidence in Bryan by enlisting are
beginning to get alarmed at the viru-
lence Of ths administration press, which
has been far more hostile to the Ne
braska volunteer than to Spain.
The Boston Journal has tried to cause
a mUtiny ever since the Third Ne
brsska regiment was organized. And
it does look Ike suicide for men to
enlist in a regiment which is to be at
tackled by Spaniards in the front, and
an army of goldbug heelars in the
rear.
Such rabid anti-Bryan, anti-Ameri-
can papers which claim to represent
the administration, which pretend to
voice the sentiments of the commander
in-chief OF the army, are putting the
president in a most unenviable posi-
tic-.
They seem to forget that the war
was declared against Spain. Their fight
is on one-half of the American people.
They are trying to create dissensiors
within the army. to foment internal
war
Papers like the Boston Journal can
not conceal their hatred Of soldiers
who 90 not vote as Hanna votes. Their
pages contain a daily prayer,
a covert threat, that something may
happen to rid them forever of this Ne
braslza colonel.
1t is enough to make men waver. II
is enough for them to take chances
with Spanish enemies. They may want
to know if the goId5ug editors, if
henchmen. would be satisfied
to get this colonel out of the way alone,
or if the entire command is to be sac
rifced as well.
This might be the Interpretation of
the Boston Journals dream

SPANISH VICTORIES.


A Madrid war bulletin says there has
been a great battle near Santiago, and
that the Spanish troops have gained a
great victory. Every time a war bull
letin is sent out from Madrid it an
nounces q Spanish victory. These vic
tories are not mere imaginings but lies
pure and simple. They may deceive
the Spanish people, q densely Ignorant
but proud people, but they deceive no
one else; they can scarcely deceive the
Spanish people for any length of time.
The question naturally arises why
such news" is sent out from Madrid.
To give anything ike an ADEQUATE an
swer would be beyond the power of
those who send out these notorious lies
and this being so, it is useless for any,
one else to offer an explanation. 1t is not
impossible that before the war is over
the Spaniards may gain a victory. but
thus far they have not, nor have thew
given any Indications that they are
likely to. To send out bulletins from
Madrid claiming victories is to make
Madrid ridiculous in the eyes of the
world. There is neither sense .nor NO.
cessity in pursuing such course. To
claim everything in an election is per-
missable, though scarcely commenda-
bic, but not in war. Spanish victories
are much more barren than Barmecide
beasts, but if Spain gets any comfort
out Of them no one viii complain. be-
cause it is about all the comfort she
will get.

A PHILIPPINE REFRAIN.

A soldier of the army had started for the
fray:
His face with dirt was grimy-he'd been
in the cars all day
This soldier young was hungry, and from
the platform scanned
And SaZed afar for Denver, where maids
and matrOns planned
To furnish food for SOLDIERS, for soldiers
on their way
To glory in the Orient, where Spaniards
stood at bay.
This soldiers heart was gladdened when
the throttle opened wide
Ana sent the engine pulling TO the depot
yard beside.
This soldier and his comrades, from
many Kansas farm.
Had promised fair TO guard the flag and
shield Z from all harm.
they left their sweethearts weeping
their buttons left behind;
And mothers gave their blessings with
prayers OF fervent kind.
Ana saw their loved ones leaving to cross
the ocean WIDE
Borne down with homemade doughnuts
and pickles on the side.
This soldier and compadre. with eyes of
Irish blue,
Had vowed to sister sWeethearts they
ever would prove true

by mothers hand
For angel food heiped dreaming where
mounted ''dougnboys" stand.
de longed for other dler, and looked with
anxious eye
To the time when doughnut rations were
IN the bye-and-bye;
He thought the meal at Denver, where
flows the Platte so grand,
Would show some food much stronger
than angel cake on hand.
This soldier boy for glory had lived for
many day
On rations where the doughnut had never
held full sway
Where the German and the Irish and
many a race beside
Cared naught for baker doughnuts or
pickles on the side.
1 watched that fair young soldier as he
glanced along the store
OF ham and cake-and dOughnuts-and
pickles there galore.
He passed the flowers wildly, with panni-
kin in hand.
And hailed aloud the surging crowd for
one veteran of the land
To lead him where no dOughnut fare
would longer drive him mad
Where Gangs or Wiener Maerzen in bot
ties corid be had.
The sun went down from Denver-and
the soldier went that way.
His youthful hopes were shattered where
the bakers doughnuts lay.
On Lrzon's shores the palm leaves bend
and softly swish the tides:
There the songbird sings and on posing
wings the clear air rides:
There maidens lave in the limpid wave |
and ere the sunset shades
The coral reach or the sea-shell beach /
his tryst love fades.
Those sirens lure with notes so pure that
hapless soldier bold
To love that's new but not so true as
his love of Old.
