VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Chagrined Ne Confessed.

The Honorable Warren Fl. Vinton of
Gray, who presided over the delibera-
tons of the Cumberland County Demo-
Gratis yesterday. permitted his chagrn
to get the better OF his judgment in
proclaiming that many members of his
party are forsakng its ranks and join
ing the Republicans. This is a patent
fact, but not before officially admitted
by those conducting the councils of the
new Democracy. Mr.. Vinton says the
deserttfs want to be selectmen. They
are now, in the very best sense, select.
Not a few of them have thrown away
all hopes of political prcferment and
sundered the ties Of lifetime, because
unable to support the strange profess
sion of principles put out by the mad
caps at Chicago two years ago. The
country will refuse to believe, what
ever Mr.. Ninton may think, or say,
that these gentlemen are actuated by
any but the most honorable motives.

The Bond Issue.

BY the time the present war loan is
issued some people in this broad land
of ours will entertain a different opin-
ion of the bondholder than they have
heretofore held, for they Will for the first
time knoW just how it seems to be one.
They and their families at least, will
realize that a person may be bond
holder and a patriot at one and the
same time; that he may conscientious
ly desire the highest welfare of the
government whose promise to pay he
has accepted at face value and without
fear.
1t is complained by some that the
government has made a bad bargain
by selling at par it's bonds in driblets to
the people instead of disposing of them
at wholesale and ut par to syndicate
that would have taken them in a lump
at a premium
There is, however such thing as
sentiment connected with so practical
a matter as a sale of government
bonds. Undoubtedly sentiment is
chiefly responsible for the war and we
believe a mistake would have been
made had the government refused to
take sentiment into account in raising
the money to pay the expenses of war
1t probably can be easily demonstrate
cd thai tho Government NNDIIII haE,
received a little more for its bonds had
it allowed syndicates to bid for them;
also that there would have been less
expense in disposng of them. IT may
also be true that the small bidders, or
many of them, have bought the bonds
as a speculation and will not long re
bonds Will get into the possession of
the capitalists who would have been
willing to pay the government a
premium for them.
But supposins ahs to be unqualified
ly true. file N7snom Of the method Of
disposal which she government has
adopted remains sell evident. AS Il
means of awakening popular, loyal
support of the war these bonds will
have beneficial effect Moreover
they will Stimulate popular interest i'll
public affairs, they will be the means
of dspellng some of the decisions
held respecting bonds and bondhold-
ers. II is a manifestation of a DISPOSE
ton on the part Of the government to
afford the small investors, tho thrifty
common people who have saved d few
dollars. an opportunity to invest their
mite in bonds and derive as much ad-
vantage thcrefrom in proportion to the
amount invested as could the banker,

The Sacrifice Begun in Earnest.

The sacrifice of American blood in
the war now on against mediaevalism
is begun in earnest. 1t includes the

Along the routes where certain

American soldiers are pressing for

were sent to Cuban soil to fight and
they have delayed not on the order of
fighting. The earnestness with which
they entered upon the conflict has been
apparent in all the details of the reports
thus far received. The utmost con-
fidence in ultimate and speedy victory
animates and inspires both our army
and navy.
We trust this will not result in over
confidence. Very much depends on the

break through the armor of Spanish
ignorance and strike the terror of
doom to the national heart. They have
tried to believe the victory at Manila
an accident, they have expected much
of Cervera, much of the rainy season,
of yellow fever, of the inefticiency of
our land forces and out of delay TO
pluck better conditions. Meanwhile
the affairs at home have reached a
stage where some sort of Spanish ad-
vantage seems absolutely necessary.
The capture of Santiago would fall
among those combustible elements in
Madrid like a frebrand in a powder
magazine.
1t may not end the war probably
would not, but it would be the death
blow to Spanish hopes in the contest
and the struggle on the part of Spain
would be continued only in the spirit
of sullen desperation.

His clothes ana his hands and his sturdy

The world to him is a wonderful place
that he means some day to cX.'iorc;
If there's time to play and plenty to eat
who cares if the heavens pour?
Oh, that CHEEKY trill of a heart as fresh
the drops that clear The air.
Brings a smile to our lips, and clears the
soul OF the gloom that proodcd
there;
And we bless the boy as he spats along
through rivers of rain and mud
For the hop" ana cheer in that whistled
note would rainbow the sky in d
