Why. That looks exactly like my

the one Gov. Stone of Missouri
gave me and which l named Gov.
Stone was very fond of that
horse. In fact | love a good horse
and a good dog. | like to get away
from the crowds and shoot game.
My preference is for small game.
When | want big game like bears
and wolves and things like that, /
leave the jungles and the thickets
and go into politics where 1 get the
choicest specimens of their kind.
| had looked forward with a great
deal of pleasure to a duck hunt
near Galveston with my friend,
Col. w. l.. Moody. but it was
question of engagement or pleasure
and so l let the pleasure part of
the program go by"
Mr.. Bryan talked about his chill
dren, simply and affectionately,
about his varied campaign expert
ences. illustrating his conversation
with wealth of wit and humor.
He said he was glad to see prices
of products and other labor go up.
that the peace and happiness of the
country rested on the laboring man
i'll the town and in the country,
and when he was happy and con-
tented things were surely going all
right. What he desired was to
see every American child have an
unfettered opportunity to work out
his or her destiny.
And once more the talk went
back to trusts, because that is what
Mr.. Bryan thinks will be the issue
of 1900-the people against the
trusts. He remarked jocularly that
he had been charged that if he
were elected president the trusts
would control the country. He
said he had been convinced that he
is the president because the trusts
are assuredly in control.
AS to waves of prosperity, Mr..
Bryan believes that as long as the
syndicates have all the money they
can create temporary revival of
J prosperity right after an election
or war, in order to point to
, it as a justification of their
predictions made during the
canvass, but that no genuine OF
| lasting prosperity or peace is com
! ing to this country until the people
take the control of the government
/ in their own hands and administer
/ it according to Democratic prin-
r ciples. Mr.. Bryan has great faitl

upon the price of the farmers
grain makes more money in an
hour than the farmer can make in
a year. The railroad magnate wa
ters the stock of his road and then
claims the right to levy tolls which
will return an interest on many
times the actual investment.
Enormous syndicates have been
formed and are being formed which
control the price of everything the
farmer buys and depress the price
of everything the farmer sells.
These syndicates unblushingly pro-
claim that they are so strong and
so powerfully entrenched that they
cannot be dislodged. It's time for
the farmer to take his nose off the
grindstone. As long as he has to
turn it the farmer cannot hope for
relief. About the only things the
farmer gets now which he is en-
titled to are air and sunshine,
and in many instances he has to
rent land in order to have the un-
interrupted enjoyment of these.
There is scarcely an avenue of hui
man industry that is not to-day in
the control or under the influence
of some gigantic combination of
capital. These syndicates are
wringing millions from the Ameri-
can people every day and unless
they are throttled, unless their cor
rupting influence and their corrupt
practices are rooted out and de-
strOyed. the country may soon be
bound hand and foot in n system
of industrial slavery more CALLING
than any other form of dependence.
/ No man can have watched the or
ganization of these tremendous
combinations with any feeling but
that of solicitude. 1t is time to
put check on these things. 1t is
time to carry this government back
where the fathers placed it. 1t is
time to reaffirm the declarations
that all men are created free and
equal, that government derives its
Just powers from the consent of
the governed, that the purpose OF
the institution of governments
among men is to secure them in
their lives, their liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. 1t was never
intended that one man should en-
JOY any favOrs of the government
which were not freely given to al
other men. 1t was never intended
that the vote of the president of {
syndicate should be any more thar
the vote of the head of any othel
household. Great changes have
been made in our government, bu
they have all come so gradual!
, and some OF them by indirectiol
that the people are not fully awak'
, to the violation of many of thel
most cherished principles. Blu
the campaign has been fully start

HAVANA, Jan. 2.-The sovereignty
of Cuba passed from Spain to the Unit

The form of the transfer was simple,
consisting of only an, exchange of
speeches in the saloon of the palace,
the hauling down of the Spanish flag
and the raising in its stead of the flag
of the United States on the flagstaff
on the palace roof. Statutes were fired
from the heavy guns of the forts and
the warships before and after the
change of flags. The raising of tho
stars and stripes was greeted with
cheers by the people who covered the
roofs of the buildings around the
palace and plaza.
No crowd was permitted to gather
in the streets in the vicinity of the
palace to witness the epoch-makiEg
function. At o'clock a guard COM
