From the Cleveland Leader.
There was nothing in the speech
Bryan delivered last night to put him
5 out Of the race or deprive him of his
commanding position in his own party.
The parts of it which will be most crit
icized were about what the country
expected. On the other hand, there
was nothing to make rivalry in the
Democratic party impossible or give
Bryan new prestige. He has not
thrown away his chances. He has not
dismayed his opponents.

The great feature OF last nights
speech is the advocacy of public own

Leading Southern Democrats were

Although discovered Ia 1874 and 1875
by explorers connected with the Geo

them until quite recently. Within the
past few years, however, several large
collections OF relics Of various kinds
have been taken from the old buildings,
which were partly demolished in the
process, and it was to put stop to
such vandalism that the Mesa Verde
country was placed in charge of the
Colorado Cliff Dwellings Association.

rauen, on the Island Of Leyte.
They killed five policemen, wound
ed i've and captured the remainder
of the force, except the lieutenant
who was in command
Pastor, the Pulajane leader, was
killed. The attack occurred early in
the morning. The police were
caught unawares and their sentinel
was rushed from his post. The ban
dts then entered the tribunal and
hand-tO hand fight took place. The
police fought desperately, but were
overcome by superior numbers.

fight
The municipal records were taken

and burned The destruction OF

Tramped to me from the road,
Gripped hands with me, and all unaglsed

He lifted oft and drained
Its crystal waters once again,
And some new vigor gained.
And, ah those patient beasts that brought
Their noses to my tank
When the red sun beat hercely hot
And drank, and drank, and drank
With mighty draughts and deep until
My labors were nigh vain
To give them drink enough and fill
My water tub again.
Nor all my score of years till now
Have once failed to cool
The thirsty lip and fevered brow
From that still ripping pool
Wherein my feet have stood. My cup
In ready. hands and strong
Has dipped its crystal waters up
SO long, SO long, 50 longs
But now my joints are worn and old,
My spout is parched and dry;

Bereft of leaf and shade,
And in some corner let me be
