that the Attorney General Of the

gi0us which have come under the shadow
Of our Gag, the possibility Of their being
damaged by such a change of circumstances
was in the yieE of Mckinley thing unthink.
able. TO belive that We could not adminis-
ter them to their advantage was to turn
|infidel to our American faith Of more than
one hundred years.
Again, after striking review Of our great
national prosperity, he says:
ssAnd we should be ungrateful If, in this
hour Of prodigious prosperity, we should
fail to remember that William Mckinley,
with subj me faith, foresaw 1t, with in
domitable courage labored for it, put bis
whole heart and mind into the work Of
bringing it about; that it was bio voice
which, in dark hours, rang out, heralding
the coming light, as over the twilight
waters Of the Nile the mystic cry of Mem
non announced the dawn of Egypt, waking
from Sleep"
The note Of tender affection and sympathy
. "isa dominant throughout, finding iti
M5Ge perfect eXprdSsUH, r--hars, in the
closing passage:
"There is not one of US but feels proudel
of bis native land because the august figure
of Washinton presided over its beginnings
no one but VOWS 1t q tenderer love because
Lincoln poured out his blood for it; no one
but must feel his devotion for his country
renewed and hndled when he remember
how Mckinley loved, revercd and ssrvei
it, showed in his life how a citizen shoali
live, and in his last hour taught us how ;
gentleman could die.n
One other passage, which we reserve 10
the last, will be read with diInmed eyes an,
softened hearts in every household in th,
land. Speaking Of McKinlsy's domestic
life, he says:
"This is subject to which the fghtes
illusion seems PROCLAMATION /; but it is i'm
possible to speak of William McKinle..
| without remembering that no truer, tendere
knight to his chosen lady ever lived amoDi
mortal men. If to the spirits of the. jus
made perfect is permitted the consciousness
OF earthly things, we may be sure that hi
faithful soul is now Watching over tha
gentle sufferer who counts the long hour
in their shattered home in the desolat
splendOr OF his tame."

ing to the latest advices received

founded rumor current at that place
that the Colombian government will
stand in the way OF any sale to the
United States Of the rights of the
French company in the canal route.
Many influential persons in Colombia
have petitioned the government to
prevent the sale, and it is also said
that many adherents have been
made to the Liberal party, by
reason Of the fact that it was believ.
ed that the present government ia
vored the sale.
1t is said that the government in
order to bring back these people
has declared that it would prevent
the sale if possible. 1t is s'a.ed
that the entry Of the United States
would put an end to political privil
eges granted to certain influential
individuals, and that these people
are making great efforts to prevent

Lack of enthusiasm over the approach 0i
the time for inaugurating the frat President
of the republic of Cuba is not due to lack
of interest in mattars political. Politics
long has been the serious, general, and
frequently tragic occupation of Oubans.
Destruction of property, assassination, star.
vation were penalties that hung over them
but they concerned themselves in the sub
iect when it meant the black dungeon under
Oabanas fortress, or standing up against a
wall to face the bullets of file of infantry.
Outside the neigAboring town Of Guines
have seen bullet hole, or the cleft made
by sabre. Tke. people Of Guiues had this
aoithin their sight as an object lesson. Yet
they aCould still engage in politics Of the va.
rjsty Government did not like, sUonen and
children as well as men, evidently, for there
were skulls of sUomen and children
in that sepulchre. A valiant spirit ran
through the islands poIitics---and some fell,
as Mr. Steele says, who with any other peo-
pie or surroundings would have lit 3
candlep that never could be put out. No
one would have dreamed that politics would
have become so soon SO petty, factional,
mere criticism and negation.

had no part in the election. They regarded
Palma as toe American, although he bad
done exceedingly valuable service for the
revolution in New York as head of the
Junta. He seemed to them rather an
American instead OF Cuban candidate !;
bat they could not make up their minds to
resist him, in manly way, at the polls,
and wien it was all over they cried out |:
