SWEARING is the rule with all men
who live free, open-air lives favored
with excitement. The miner and the

oaths.
In battle some of the greatest lead
ers have had the custom of swearing
as though possessed Of demons. Poetry
does not record the oaths that are
heard among the shouts of a charging
column. There is much in history that
is not written. Logan and Sheridan
were no less whirlwinds in battle be-
cause they could not turn loose a few
red-hot expletives.
AS a means of relief to an over

IT now looks as If the Paris peace
commission would fail to agree. Spain
is trying to prolong the parley in the
hope that the next congress will have
an anti MCKINLEY majority, thus fore
ing the American commissioners to
return to Washington and take in
structions from a congress hostile to
the present administration. 1t is a
vain hope, but the attitude of Spain
should put every true American on
his guard,and there should be no doubt
as to the intentions of the various
Candidates for congress. President Nc
Kinley expects the people of North

position candidate, who simply repre-
sents himself, and in fact is a political

A great deal depends upon the politi-

as a warning to Spain and the world
that the American people are united

No one questions the loyalty and
patriotism of Democrats, Individually,
but as a party they must of necessity
be "ag'in the government" A Demo
cratic house Of representatives at this
time cannot be considered otherwise
than a rebuke of the administrations
policy. It would mean that this coun-
try is in favor Of relinquishing the
territory, that has come to us as a
natural consequence Of war, to any
power that might come along and want
it. 1t would mean that the marvellous
achievements of our brilliant army
and navy were nothing of which to be
proud.
