William Jennings Bryan, after sup
pressing the S~paniards with his
sword, has laid it aside, resigned his
commission in the army and rushed
to Washington to- war; congress and
the president against the doom that
awaits the nation if it does not give
up the idea Of expansion. Few ma
tons there are which can boast of
men who can become statesmen or
warriors merely by a change of
clothes. But this is a wonderfully
fertile and prolific country. While
sion in cheap money, he sees great
danger In this country holding what
has fallen into it's hands as a result
of the war. "Our nation is in
greater danger Just now than Cuba"
says the battle SCARED colonel,
and must give up any intention of
entering upon a colonial policy"
Now, that is too bad, after the treaty
of peace has been signed and regi-
ments of troops have been designat
ed and started for the Philippines, to
receive such a peremptory command.
Why wasn't the colonel consulted
about this matter some time ago?
He says, Our people must now de-
fend themselves against a foreign
idea" Oh. is that all? Well, colonel,
the people of this country are equal
to any ''foreign idea'' that happens
along and are not afraid of imperial
ism or expansion. Americas idea of
expansion is not of the foreign kind.
This country will be only too glad to
grant independent government to the
Philippines as soon as they are fit to
accept the responsibilities. The Col.
says, ''ratify the treaty and deal with
the subject in our own way" That
is lucid. 1t is what some people may
call craftsmanship though they are
but empty and meaningless words.
OF course, that is what will be done,
exactly, without the interference or
suggestion of ''any other nation on
EARTH" as the Col. used to proclaim.
II Mr.. Bryan intends to make this
a prominent issue in his campaign
for the presidency in 1900 he will lose
a great many of his former follow
ers and again go down in defeat.
But Mr.. Bryan got an eye-opener in
Washington. The party leaders there
declared that the question OF expan-
sion would be settled before another
presidential campaign and that the
party would have to make the fight
again on the Chicago platform. Mr..
Bryan has heard from the west and
he would be only too glad to give
some other issue first place.

General CaliXto Garcia, the great
Cuban leader, died in Washington
last week from pneumonia after a
brief illness. The sudden change OF
climate from Cuba to New York,
brought on a severe cold which re-
suited in the fatal disease soon after
he reached Washington. 1t is also
said that his system vas weakened
from worry over the illness of his
daughter who is rapidly failing with
consumption. The grand old pa
triot's cup of sorrow was evidently
filled to the brim. but he lived to see
his beloved Cuba freed from Spanish
oppression. The authorities at Wash
ington did everything possible to
show the esteem in which the patriot
was held by the people of this coun-
try. The remains will be taken to
Cuba in an American vessel.

General Davis, military governor

II is reported that new use has
been found for liquefied air, the possi-

some time. According to the Mining

ly by which it is now practical to use
