The best citizenship of this
country has for years past put
forth the greatest efforts possible
to heal the gaping wounds of the
sections, and to close up
the chasm which only has been
kept open to this late day by such
incorrigible fools as Mr. Burton.
Henry Grady give his life to it;
and Lincoln WAS its greatest ad-
vocate, and even offered the south,
if they would lay down Il e,r arms
and remain in the Union, greater
concessions than they would ask
under the same circumstances to
day.
Il think that Bryan will be re,
nominated ana that Agnirall!o
would be an excellent choice for
second place on HE ticket" says
Mr.. Burton. This gentleman lies
when he says he thinks AguinaIdo
would make an excellent choice for
second place on any ticket, and he
is equally base and shows himself
less worry of citizenship in this
country, than Aguinuldo is fit for
second place on Il presidential
ticket to serve this country, when
he uses his meme in connection
with W. j. Bryan as a presiden-
lial possibility. AguinaIdo. The
democrats of this country are as anX-
ious to get rid of Aguinaldo as the
republicans; il is only a question
as to the means to be used in its
accomplishment.
This gentleman who would
create the impression that he is I
Kansas political prophet; who
would like favorable considera-
ton from an appointiyc power at
Washington, talks about demoral-
lied democracy and Tagals. This
same Mr. Burton though he may
be a prominent Kansas statesman
would be considered II weakling
even in the New Mexican lcgisla-
ture, where any old thing can en-
act laws that it is impossible for a
supreme court Judge to interpret.
Where were these same Ta2uls
when the country asked that the
death of the sailors of the Maine
be avenged! Whence the unanim-
Gus voice of Congrcssmen from that
hated district south of Mason and

4 LETTER ~ YARDS LONG.
Two Unique Epistles Written b
Soldiers While ut Santiago.

Two uaiQue Epistles Written By
Soldiers While 1T Santiago.
The smallest letter during the war;
explained . clerk in the dead letter once
TO Q Kansas City Star reporter. was
written on the back Of q postage stamp.
II was q very handsome piece OF work
as far as the work was concerned. and
was written by . soldier In An Ohio regi.
ment- The person addressed could not
be found. and 20 1t reached the dead letter
once. Unfortunately for the writer. he
did not give his name. and % 1t cannot
be returned to him. Though the stamp
10 less than an inch square. by the aid
Of . magnifying glass over three hundred
words can be read 1t gives . brief de-
scription Of Santiago and of the climate.
and tells Of the anxiety that prevailed
among the soldier boys 10 get y good
chance at the 6paniards In the open. so
that they could make a lasting impression
upon them. The writer evidently got the
idea from the engraving of the Lords
prayer on the back OF five-cent silver
piece. and he made fine job Of IT,
The longest soldier letter that has
reached the dead letter ONCE In twenty
seven yards long by actual Measurement
II was written on roll of paper teles
graph tape, such as Is used by the stock
tickeFs. Strangely enough. II ID q de-
scription OF Santiago. and the writer ex-
presses q similar idea as to the desire to
give the Spaniards battle on their own
land and conditions provided by them
The indications are that II must have Ia
ken several days to complete the letter.
which Is very nicely written. evidently
hy a German. The handwriting Is so
small that three lines were written length
wise on the tape, which Il about three
quarters of an inch wide. In this case
however. every word can be read without
the aid Of . maSnifying glass. The writer
gives an excuse for the use OF the lengthy
strip by saying that no other paper Ia
obtainable at the time. and that he got
the roll of telegraph paper from a signal
corps man. In the latter case the writer
contented himself by simply signing his
name Heinrich.
1T was written to q young lady. for
whom II appears Heinrich had q very
high regard. In his anxiety in getting
his unique letter OF he forgot 10 give the
name OF the state the young lady resided
in. as well as his own name or anything
else that would indicate who the writer
was
