It la requires a desperate struggle on the part of Americana to realize the Incredible bravery of the Cuban rev lutionists taking Spain's reports of the situation in that Island as correct. What wonderful fighters those half breeds and negroes must I', when It requires 40,000 of Spain's picked troops to' subdue 9,000 111 fed, p-orly armed aud undiseipllneJ i at Ives. Yet reports from Spain continue to speak of the trouble as "a riot of negroes." The New York grand jury evidently doesn't believe In the philautbrnphy of Mr. Nathan Straus, the Introducer of sterilized milk for the poor, and the man who was to smart to run again! Strong for Mayor, last year. At anv rate, be has been Indicted for Improper acts while holding the office of Park commissioner. Mr. Straus Is a merit nt of the big business firm known as R H.

Shall this country maintain Its pres ent toundarks, or shall it reach oiil and include everytldng that will be necessary to the greatest commercial nation the world lias evr seen? Upon the decision will dcjiend whether we remaii- merely a great nation or become the greatest. If the claim of England that the United States bus nothing to do with her encroachments upon the territory of Venezuela be admitted, all the South and Central American govern ments may as well prepare to go out of business. Senator Palmer lost no time in con demning the calling of that demoemt'e silver convention In Illinois. He dosen't want the party to commit Itself In an "off yeur."
