There are reasons why Germany
shold be neutral, but none why
she should not.
It seems as if the navy afford,
ed more opportunities for con
spicuous acts oi heroism than
does the army. The sea is more
favorable for a fearless, reckless
and daredevil’spirit, for individ
ual prowess for the exhibition of
the spirit of chivalry’ and knighl
errantry, than is the land, and
each opportunity seems to have
its man to fill it.

which our republican friends in
Washington appear to be prepar

These past two months show
immense achievements on the
part of our civil military and
naval administration. Much lias

“A man who charges the gov

May be so, but he won’t be lone

It is strange to see Grover
Cleveland and Wm. J. Bryan

are together in oppposing terri

Each has made a speech recent

Gov. Atkinson has not yet

yesterday that the United btatee

As a matter of fact there is no
tiuth in such a statement. The
United States is not suggesting
peace in any way except, by th;
roar of artillery and the rattele o<
their rifles.
The Mudiid paper’s statement,
however,, is very significant. It in
dicates that Spain desires peace,
and the suggestion of pence accr< li
lted to the United States is sim
ply a suggestion of what Spain
would like to have the United
States to do.
