Atlanta, Ga, Feb N13.-The Atlanta
 Journal, owned by Hoke smith. this
 afternoon prints signed statements from Grover Cleveland, William J.
 Bryan and Andrew Carnegie, in which all three express views antagonistic to an expansion policy MT CleveIard d says:
 My opinions on the subject of ex- DansiOn have been very plainly ex- pressed and through agencies that Olght to secure their wide dissemina ton. I do not assume that they are of any value or influence; if they are, my fellow citizens already have, or ought to have, the benefit of them, if they are neither valuable or influential why should I reiterate them? If there is anything that can attract attention OI challenge the thought of our people in their mad rush toward yawning dis aster, it is more likely to be the earnest, welI-informed and patriotic warnings of the decent press than anything else.'
 MT. Bryan says: q have confidence that the American people when they have a chance to speak, will reject i'm Derialis.n and militGrism and remain true to the doctrine Of self-g0vern- ment"
 MT. Carnegie says: '"The influence of a superior race upon an inferior in the tropics is injurious, demorllizing and never elevating. Imperialism is the craze of the hour Thcr rough Amer- icanism, such as the south now stands for, is for all time.
