to the fire of theS Spanish sguerillas at
Guantanamo, while the soldiers at Tam

to relieve them. were boiling in enforced

Houston Post: The remarks of Hon.
William ]. Bryan, Tuesday last, at the
dedication of the Nebraska building at
the Omaha exposition, were of the same
brilliant character that shine so con-
spicuously in most of his public addresses.
But they were especially characteristic of
their Americanism- His high conception

argues that the war was begun for hu-
manity's sake and should be confined to
the scope of its original purpose.
st. Joseph Gazette: There is much in the
reports from the country at large to en-
courage the Democrats. for, unless some
thing occurs to radically change the stu
alton between now and November, a
handsome Democratic majority will be
returned to the next house of representa-

Its latter-day cartoons on the Spaniards

Kansas City Times: Mr. Mckinley has
fallen so far short of expectation and has
permitted his administration to be so
dominated by the money powers that he
