There can be no doubt that the great

with him, as appears in the vote of 81

House of Representatives in opposition
to the annexation Of Hawaii. The great
mass of the labOring men Of the United

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
MIR. BRYAN'S SPEECH AGAINST
IMPERIALISM.
Springfield Republican.


When man Of Mr.. Bryan's immense
uolitical following defines his principles
relative to the war the event is of some
political magnitude. The speech ut Oma-
ha ON Tuesday was certainly an incl
dent of more than ordinary Importance,
since the present Democratic leader took
pains to declare unequivocably his oppo-
sition to Transforming this conflict with
Spain into a>war for conquest or permit
ting it to turn the nation from the ideals
for whose attainment the republic was
founded and still lives.
Mr. Bryan has never uttered words of
greater wisdom. They became him, too,
as professed apostle Of Democracy, for
the lust of territory and hunger for en-
pire are essentially undemocratic, di-
verting as they do the attention and
thoughts Of the nation from Democratic
ideals and the home questions which
are most closely related to the welfare
of the common people. Mr.. Bryan shows
himself true to the popular interests by
antagOnizing policy which must greatly
increase the taxation of the American
people in order to maintain sfrmies of oc-
cupation in far-distant lands. He full
fills a mission as a popular leader by set
ting his face against militarism that
must eventually menace the liberties Of
the people. And he is not only true to
Democracy, whose greatest hopes are in.

can institutions but to the national hon
or, which was pledged against conquest
ut the outset Of the war. and to that
conservatism which does not regard the
traditions of a century as necessarily oh
s0lete or the farewell address as 4
"back number"
Mr. Bryan gave fit expression to these
thoughts. In his sentences it is difficult
TO detect the revolutionist and danger
Gus demagog that the East has been
taught to consider him. Is it not re-
markable that the first trumpet call to
the great republic from a leading public
parsonage, to he true to it's pledges. to
it's ideals. TO its most halowed tradi-
tons, should have come from that man
whose ideas of national honor have
been so often denounced as a national
shame? Yet it is the same Mr. Bryan
whom we have known for two years
past-bnt now. happily. reaching ont

powers as a tribune of the people-who

operations against Porto Rico and lead

Let him quit airing himself in Washing

Referring to the lobbying done by Gen.

heretofore there has been no reason why
the title should be conferred upon him.
and adds:

WHEN HAVANA FALLS.

Ever since war was declared the uni
versal opinion outside of Washington
has been that the way to end the war
was to take Havana. Instead of doing
that. those directing the campaign have
been acting as if Havana was either
impregnable or its capture was of no
consequences 1t is now officially given
ont through the Washington Post that
after a long waste of time and money
the administration has found out the
true battle-ground. The Post says:
.sThe War, Board is keenly apprecia
tive of the fact that, save by surrender
on the part of Spain, Cuba cannot be
free until Havana has fallen. Santiago,
Cienfuegoes, Matanzas, and other cities
may be taken in ORDER but until Ha-
yana has been stormed from both land
and sea and the Stars and Stripes are
hoisted over MORO Castle, Cuba will
continue to be a Spanish possession. Hd-
vana is Cuba. The ineffectiveness of the
blockade att present conducted in front
of Havana is causing much concern ami
directing attention anew to Blanco's
stronghold An earlier attack upon Ha-
vana than has at any time heretofore
been contemplated is. therefore, one of
the strong probabilities"
The delay, secured by bond-grabbers
and politicians, has been worth regi-
ments of men to Blanco. 1t will cost
more of men and of treasure to take
Havana now than the first of May, but
it is gratifying TO know that at last the
Board realizes that when Havana falls.
then, and not until then, will Cuba be
free.

City Attorney Montgomery has about COM
pleted the drafting OF an ordinance provid-
ing for the voting OF bonds for city hall pur-
poses. This ordinance viii, It is understood,
be introduced at the meeting of the council
Monday night. After it's first reading the
ordinance will go to the judiciary commit
tee and the amount Of bonds to be asked for
will be decided upon. Some members of the
city government favor an issue Of $50, 900,
but the majority seem to think that 100000
will be ample.
There appears to be little doubt but that
the bonds will carry when the proposition
is submitted to the people. arrangements
are now being made for the free use Of vot-
ing booths and judges and clerks who are
willing to serve for one day without pay
are to be selected in order to keep down the
cost of the special election. II is not thought
that the ordinance will meet with any OPP
position In the council as all Of the city OIL
Gals are a unit In declaring that the present
quarters are not suitable for city Offices. A
first class Jail is also desired and IL Is
claimed that the money now paid out for the
rent Of buildings for the use OF the city will
pay the interest on the proposed bonds. 1t
is not known where the proposed building
will be erected as no site has been agreed
upon. Most likely the council will ask for
bids from property owners and in this event
some lively competition Is anticipated. The
location will, however, be central and will
probably not be more than one block any
way from the corner of Twenty fourth and
