Silent-yet eloquent that morn of May
When his fierce guns the words OF doom were

Ready 70 meet the foeman'A iron hail;
The bursting mine. the storm of shell around him,
Were AS the tapping sail.
Yet. now you not among your seAmsn,

How your proud coun;rys million.voiced :rsemcu

The Place of MIR. Mason's Mouth in
History.

Senator MAsoN's short speech to the
iackies Of the Olympia must have been
heard with amazement by these intelligent
citizens and admirable warriors. He
inferred therein. in substance that he was
the author OF the war with Spain. When
the Maine was destroyed, as he told the
blueiackets, / thought it was necessary
for somebody to bring on fight and did
all that could with my mouth, If with
nothing else.
We fear that the Hon. Bully MAsoN's
mouth Is something OF humbug. The
world knows it is large, mobileand tireless,
but it will scarcely occupy in history the
supcreminent place to which the Senator
has solemnly assigned it in the'preseuce OF
the fighting Olympians.
History, however, will certainly record
the circumstance, probably already we'll
known to every sailor and marine aboard
DEwEY's flagship. that the present function
OF Senator MAsoN's mouth Is to shout for
surrender and to wag for withdrawal.
