GRAND CANYON
Grand Canyon, Sept. 15.

Ihree'nOted statesmen were guests at Bright Angel last week for few days-Hon. w. J. Bryan, with his family; Congressman V. Warner, from Clinton, Illinois, and J. w. Yantis, also from Illinois. The last day they were here they made paction 'twixt them to make short speeches that evening, and as it became known that they were to speak, the rooms were well filled with guests and residents of the place. If the audience went there expecting to hear political speeches they were disappointed, for the speakers chose other subjects. but they could not help referring to politics, even though they meant to ignore the subject.
 The first to take the floor was Col. Bryan, who spoke on the les sons to be drawn from the Canyon and its not very beautiful river, as he expressed it. He depicted the patience required by nature for the water to have cut it's way into the depths of the canyon as it has done, and thinks all who come to see this great wonder are the better for hay ing seen it. His remarks were sin cere and touching. Before taking his seat Col. Bryan introduced Con- gressman Warner, who spoke brief ly on true citizenship. The trend of this country being ever upward, all nations are looking to us as be- ing among the foremost nations on this earth, and kings and princes in their stately array doing hom- age to some of our most noble citi- zens as representing this great and free government: He made due and respectful reference to the former speaker, speaking of the kindly feeling he had for him, although having different views in politics, and saying that Col. Bryan had been the greatest bother of his life, for he 1t was who set the speaker to thinking about sound money, and he had been thinking about 1t ever since
 Congressman Warner introduced J. w. Yantis, who is ever in for bit of fun. His remarks were full of wit and humor and came in very appropriately after the deeper thoughts of the other speakers. He ended up his remarks by giving vivid description of the manner of calling guests in the morning at Bright Angel. It seemed novelty to him, and he enjoyed it thor
