America is land whose people are
great in number and who are album
dainty blest with natural resources.
Her people look with pride to her va
rious forms of Christian religion: so
much so, that IL a person was TO dsscry
this form OF religion, he would be
treated as a vile, insignificant being.
We rejoice in those religious prin-
cipals. Yet we are Qike BelshazzarJ
being weighed in the balances and
found wanting. Even the animal Gre
alton down TO the hog, will aid its
companions when in need; but many
Of our big guns who stood on the
congressional floor and waived their
fists and shed crockodile tears over tho
possibility OF the Venezuelans loosinR
few acres OF land, are now resorting
to the baby by showing mp a fear
of war Why should we fear war with
Spain, since she has more than her
load with Cuba and has To- resort 90
starvation to accomplish her object ?
Well does Champ Clark say our dor
mant actions are enough 20 make the
dead bodies OF Grant, Sherman, Sher-
idan aud Lincoln restless ia their
graves.
II will not be long until the 9Th OF
July, when many Of those quiet cong

politicians VIII be- making sDeeches if,

they lind a veil e. hide those thousands
OF suffering pDor ia the oypresset
Island2 win they dare bOast Of Is,-
fayette and say Americs has tone like
him 10 go out and help Cuba ?
Should any OF our literary societies
try - debate the merits nnd honor Of
Washington and Lafayette. would they
dare 10 refer 20 Mckinley or our Re
publican congressman? Well does Mr..
Clark LAY that our foreign policy is 50
weak that instead OF sending men n
war TO quench the troubles we pass
around the hat aud Oeg for alms
Some small boy may ask why IL il
that the 1872 Democrats and Popnlists
are willing to all the CuOans and not
