VOICES OF The PRESS.
The Colorado Attack on Roosevelt.

New York Mail and EXprcSS1
In abiding to the matter, Mr.. Joseph
n. Manley, speaking for the national
committee, said: I'VE are very glad
that GOV. Roosevelt was fortunate
enough TO escape serious injury. He
might easily have been killed The in
tention OF the mob was plainly muir
derous. And why? Because the ten
dency Of Organism is toward violence,
naturally and always. The Bryanites
demand unlimited free speech for
themselves. even when they advocate
anarchy, but are impatient Of it in
others. They meet arguments either
with rowdy Interruptions. as at the
Cooper Union meeting the other eve
ming, Or with budgeons, as at Victor.
Col.
This is the very essence of the new
Democracy Of Organism. II is nothing
but a violent onslaught on all the re-
spectacle features and established
usages Of our modern civilization. 1t
would destroy our commercial in
tegrity. our judicial security and our
national honor. by what would be
practically mob law
Compare now the treatment of Mr.
Bryan and Attorney-General Smythe
at Nebraska City. Here the feeling
against the visitors was fully as in
tense as at Victor. because they have
been taking measures to destroy the
starch industry Of the town on the pre-
text that ii is connected with trust.
and thus deprive 200 families of their
means Of subsistence and inflict grave
injury upon the whole community. Yet
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Smythe We're al
lowed to 60 to Nebraska City and de-
molestation. They drove publicly
through the streets and spoke in
public square and encountered not a
sign Of discOurtesy.
Both speakers said by the way.
that the Nebraska City people ought
70 enjoy being ruined in this way 50 as
to help along the war against trusts,
and that the next administration
would do for other cities what was Be
ing done for Nebraska City and shut
up all factories connected with trusts
How 10 the working people Of the
country like this prospect. / wonder"
Senator Scott in speaking on the at
tack said This outbreak of Organism
makes every decent citizen ashamed.
Of course, but it serves to illustrate the
temper Of the opposition in this cam
paign. The exhibition will not help
the Democrats any. Colorado is much
more doubtful for Bryan today than it
was Yesterday"

The Cloud Over Cuba's Future.

That frank and fearless young
statesman from Indiana. Senator Bev-
cridge. has declared. this week, in a
much-quoted speech that in his judg-
ment. it was Il mistake ever to have
given Cuba the promise Of a separate
and Independent government. He says
that he speaks only for himself in this
matter. but that he is firmly convinced,
after careful study of the conditions,
that the withdrawal OF our supervision
of the island will put an end to reform
soon find itself involved in troubles
that will sooner or later compel our in
PREVENTION. Senator Beveridge does not
discuss this matter from the stand
point Of partisan politics. nor does he
attempt to pose as an alarmiSt; he
simply expresses an opinion that is
held by a host of intelligent citizens all
over the country. And yet the pledge
of withdrawal and independence which
was made to Cuba and TO the world
when we crushed the power OF Spain,
seemed al the time the best course, the
only consistent and honorable course.
That pledge will be faithfully kept.
whatever the consequences, and the
administration is fully justified in the
present steps to give Cuba its own
government.
When the powers Of Europe mani
tested an inclination to have a voice
in the trouble between the United
States and Spain over conditions in
Cuba. they We're plainly told by this
government that it was an American
question in which they need not
NEEDLE. And an American question
Cuba is bound to remain through all
coming years. whether its experiment
as an Independent republic proves a
success or whether the island comes
back under our flag through the desire
Of its people or through the necessities
of events. Having wrested cuba from
Spain by means Of war. We are re-
sponsible to the world for Cuba's
future. Other nations than ourselves
have large commercial interests in the
island, and they will inevitably look to
US for the maintenance Of peace ana
order there. If revolution and disorder
follow when we leave Cuba to shift for
itself. as we have pledged ourselves
70 DO, no course but intervention will
be open to US ana if Cuba once fails
to maintain a staple government Of its
own there will be no great haste il
giving it a second opportunity. There
is vast responsibility resting upon
the Cuban leaders. and it is folly for
the American people themselves to be |
blind to the possibility that our work !
in Cuba is not ended when our troops |
are withdrawn ana the new republic
takes its stand as an Independent
nation

The Maine citizens who were so
much impressed with the graceful elo-
quence with which George Fred
Williams spread transformation in this
State during the recent campaign, will
feel much sympathy for him in the
political calamity which has overtaken
him. He has been bitterly opposed to
the denomination Of the present Demo-
cratic congressman, John r. Thayer.
in the Worcester. Mass. district. de-
nouncins him as man utterly un-
worthy Democratic support. and TAX
ing the leading part in the canvas Of
another man for the nomination The
caucuses electing delegates to the
nominating convention were held this
week, and those favorable to Mr.
Thayers denomination were elected
by overwhelming majorities. Mr.
Williams man simply wasn't in it. No
politician ever received a worse jar
than the Democrats Of that district
have given George Fred. 1t again
proves that he is a great man for the
other side.
