A STUDY IN GRAY.

There's Sky Of gray above me
And mist of gray around,
And dull gray river flows beside

Gray and misty, misty and gray,

The harges move through the misty night.
And their lights CLEAN dull and rcd.
The voices from them seem calling forth
To IA city Of the dead
As stand on the bank and dream and
dream
Of the things that are and the things that
seem.
A yellow fog on winters day,
A burning gaslight's flare,
Streets full of faces hnggard and thin,
Eyes which spirit sits watching in,
Faces everywhere,
A world of people, nightmare crew,
starving and struggling and pushing
through,
Tumbling and rising, falling for aye.

Some of the little guerilla jour
nalists of the Hannacratic type
are barking at the heels of Con-
gresham Freeman Knowles and
charging him with being an "anar-
chist.' That bewhiskered old
charge was worn out two years
ago. Freeman Knowles was car
rying a musket and defending his
country long before the majority
of his. traducers had relinquished
their hold on the baby rattle and
teething ring. One of the best ev-
licences of his true worth as a pub
lie servant is the fact that he DOS
sesses the enmity of every little
guerilla republican editor in South

THE ENDED.

The wal is over. Spain has &C
knowledged her defeat and asked
for mercy. Peace is welcomed by
seventy millions of patriotic Amer
lean people. The early ending Of
armed conflict is hailed with de-
light for numerous reasons. 1t
ends the further loss of human life
among all participants, enables
Cuba to realize the fond hopes for
which her people have poured out
tneir blood and treasure, and it
does away with the excuse of fore
ing onto the people of this country
more shackles of financial bondage
in the shape Of further issues of
gold bonds. 1t has demonstrated
the absolute unity of the American
people, the capabilities of the citi-
zen soldiery and the excellency of
our new navy. 1t was not a re-
publican war, a democratic war or
a populist war. American patriot
ism is too broad to be confined
within the narrow limits of any
partisan political organization.
America acquires much new terri
tory in both hemispheres, but
whether or not the policy of ex-
pansion is a wise one time alone
will tell.
AS a punishment for her treach-
cry in Havana harbor last Febru-
airy, Spain has had wrested from
her the last vestige Of supremacy
in the western hemisphere, her
navy has been destroyed, she is
utterly bankrupt and her people
are engaged in internal strife-a

PROSPERITY AT OSHKOSH.

SHO0F EfI1IY AL oo1hooI1'
There are 1000 striking wood
workers at Oshkosh, Wisconsin,,
who waited as long as they could
for S S Hanna's "wave of prosper
ity" and then went on a strike.
They were slowly starving to death
while trying to support themselves
and families on S5c per day and
wanted more. Did our republican
friends remark something about
pauper labor? 1t will be remem-
bered hat the city of Oshkosh
gave a rousing majority for the
advance agent of prosperity and
here is what a striking employee
has to say about it. He says:
"The Saturday before election
each man received a card on which
was printed, present this card
Monday evening and receive your
pay Monday evening when we
appeared we were paid and told
that we we're discharged. eff Nc
Kinley is elected tomorrow" they
told us, ''you may all have en-
ployment again "Wednesday norm
ing" This was true of every
mill in the city"
No wonder that Oshkosh and
the state of Wisconsin gave a re-
publican majority! No wonder
that "American labor was for Nc
Klnley!" The question is, can CO.

in 1900? 1t will be tried! And in

ton, sanctioned and supported by
a great political party, breeds ten
fold more anarchv than all the

sons that ever lived.

The administration promises to
put gallant Fitzhugh Lee at the
head of the army of occupation in
Cuba. Fitz is the boy for the
place. Col. Bryan and his Third
Nebraska boys will go with Lee to
Havana. That is graceful way of
keeping the Colonel out of the
presidential contest in 1ooo-un-
less the brilliant Nebraskan should
resign and come home. He will
be found wherever he can best
serve the interests Of his country
men. If that be in Cuba, Bryan
will be found true to his trust. II
it be in America, in the struggle
for emancipation from financial
bondage and industrial slavery, he
will, be found among his own peo-
pie, leading them on against the
forces Of bribery, coercion and cor
ruption. Republicans are al
ready expressing the hope that he
will remain in Havana.

The fact that the Spaniards opened hre on
