gigantic form and spirit of the western
hemisphere.
With the snow upon your forehead and the
summer at your feet,
'Tis an ancient beast about you. and your people
hold 1t dear,
That no ether mundane glory with your glory
may compete.
Yet the helpless land of Cuba has been made a
govt of blood
BY the ancient foes of freedom, just without
your southern gate
Just across a sea scarce wider than your rivers
are at fcod.
And your people are inquiring why the good God
made you great
There are men from white Alaska to the string
Of southern keys
And from sunny California to the sturdy isles
of Maine
Men of ship and shop and fsrnstead who have
prayed upon their knees
That your old time wrath should kindle to the
de,riment of Spain.
In the cause of human freedom they would die or
overcome
And their spirits have been shaken till the
thought is uppeImost.
They will come in squads and torrents when they
hear the fife and drum.
With their fighting things about them and their
faces to the coaat
See. the star Of peace is waning hard upon its
aIogee
And the creeping danger crouehes like savage
thing of life,
While the seaman on the lockout scans the SUM-
nit Of the sea
And the landsman Listens kesnly for the whistle
Of the fife.

If the various competing companies for
the telephone franchise for which the Board
OF Public Works advertised for bids and
specifications intend to be bona fide com
petitors, they should have compiled with
the conditions imposed by the board. AS
only one of these associations, that known
as the New Company, complied with the
requirements of the board, the others should
not be heard further until they put in their
propositions with the $4,000 as evidence of
their good faith. The list of stockholders
presented by the New Company is made up
of well known and responsible men, resid-
ing for the most part in the city or inside
the State which will give the city home
instead of foreign company. The Journal
has no interest other than that of a patron
of telephone companies, and it wants the
best that can be obtained. At the same
time, nothing will ever result if parties are
permitted to keep the matter open while
not making substantial propositions to fur
nish the city with telephone system.
