Mr.. * ellison : Speech.

hon. Chas. kellison made the Fourth
of July address in the evening at
: o'clock. His tall was patriotic from
first to last and was An able presenta-
tion of the theme at hand.
He opened with discussion of fun
damental principles, the adherance to
which are prerequisites for the mainte-
nance and perpetuity of Republican
government He indicated our ma
tional policy with respect to Cuba,
though mindful of the advice of Wash
ington in his memorable address before
retiring from the presidency. Condi-
tions have changed. The country is
not young nation today; it is one of
the powers.
This nations sympathetic heart has
been touched by the appeals of the
Cubans for liberty. and In the eyes of
God and humanity the speaker was
convinced that our resort to arms in
behalf of strange race is righteous
ana just.
There are other questions for future
generations to grapple with and solve.
Inventive genius has overpcwered the
SONS of toll; capital and labor must be
taught their mutual dependence. I'm
equal taxation and class legislation are
demanding the immediate attention of
a liberty loving people.
These and other problems are before
the coming generations.
Thought" is the barrier to the pro-
gress of these iniquities, and before
Thought" every evil must eventually
fall.
The speaker was loudly applauded at
various intervals during his address.

feel al all fearful if the regiment can
only be sent to Porto Rico.
Will write again soon. DO write
often. Everybody here are so anxious
to hear from home.
With love to all:
