Address changed as often as u desired. p The General Situation. Jj Spain is still holding back Its reply tn p the Preeldent's ultimatum concerning c the terms of peace, and the fact sur- tJ prises nobody, as it is plainly apparent ^ that Sagasta is delaying to prepare the Spanish people, and all the disturbing ^ elements for the acceptance of the con- c cessions which the government is bound o to make before peace negotiations can w be opened. C] . - According to Washington dispatches, all predictions as to when the reply will fl 'toe received are based purely on specula- h r tlon, for there is no way of ascertaining ^ the intention of the Madrid government r There Is no doubt that the reply when it c comes will-be a yielding: of all points, ^ for the: President.Is firm in his determi- t . nation that no modification* or counter- f .proposals will be considered. There is r a thorough appreciation at Washington g of the tremendoOs responsibility devolvlng on Sagasta, and an understanding r that a political crisis must be guarded against by him. A complete surrender toy Spain Is regarded as certain, at any rate. There is no other way out of It. T The government is hurrying as rapidly n as possible the work of transporting p Shaffer's army northward, and every a transport vessel available has been j, brought Into service. An official state- j. meat issued yesterday sets at rest many t of the misrepresenta tions published "con- c cernlng this matter, and shows that all t ttoeorders for the Immediate relief of the j troops at Santiago had been Issued, and r the hips sent, "before the complaint e from Roosevelt was received. In other respects, th? general war situation is . favorable and there h? no evidence that t activities are suspended In any dlrec- . tlon. , Decline of Bryanism. 'X recent expression of Colonel W. J. Bryan, in an interview published in a Georgia paper, is being construed as somewhat significant by the press and by not a few public men. To a question whether the free silver sentiment is increasing or not. Colonel Bryan replied: "Thst Is a hard question to answer. The country is now at war and when it is over the condition of things may be changed greatly." There Is not in tnis ^ reply the confidence In the future of f.-"e silver which the late candidate for the ^ presidency has been wont to indulge In. There Is rather an evasion In it which I# taken by many to signify a virtual confession of the failure of the attempt to r force upon the country a depredated t currency. It Is possible that Bryan r fclmeelf has about given up the effort, a and is counting himself out of it, so far c as that issue Is concerned. r The "condtlon of thing.?" mny not only j be "changed greatly," but It has already ^ changed. Changed conditions call fur { less tampering with the soundness of f tne monetary mymum mm n-vs ?>? ? * ?? of Impractical theories concerning the coinage eyntem.

As the contemporary above noted remarks, "he is Indelibly ldentled with what will 'be known In history 3 Bryanlsm, and with the passing of iat- Issue, bis career is practically ided." It May Comt Yd. An inspection of the Register's editrial columns failed to reveal a denunatlon'of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, :urdy old Democrat that he is, as a sugar trust conspirator," "Wall street sent," &c., for rejoicing In his Chicago >eech,Thursday, over the annexation of [awall; nor was he vllllfled for favorig the permanent retention of tl^e Phil,plnw. Jior were the Register's readers Baled with a column of Invective salnst ex-Senator Reagan, of Texas. >r expressing the same views on Ihe ime occasion. Fair-minded people may give these vo old wheel-horses of Democracy, Dth distinguished as leaders In the state, credit forbdngconsclentlous In' their lewe, but consistency should invoke om the Register a scathing editorial thnlrn nnrt th* ltXUal ChaTtTe Of hVDO risy and imperialism against them, he astounding feature of this serious mission on the part of our neighbor is le failure to hold ex-Senator Reagan p before Its readers as a traitor to the rinciples of Democracy, for the insult e offers the party of Jefferson In this xpression reported' by the Associated 'rese: "It was within our reach to be)me the greatest commercial nation in ie world. Acquisition of territory was poken of as being 'imperialism.* It has een raid that Jefferson was the great9t apostle of civil liberty and demoratlc principles; yet if the acquisition f territory was imperialism 'Jefferson ras the greatest* imperialist this govrnment has ever produced.'" This Is the substance of <ihe renwrks s given by the Associated Press. Peraps the shock was too great for the Register, and.after a twenty-four hours est," we may. expect our friend to proved'with the denunciation this morn *? 4 ho frtrmnl to 'K lOBcmci ho two dUtlmuUbed gentlemen that hoy are no longer to "be regarded as lemocrats. Heretofore oil the "conplratt.rs," and "hypocrites," and "conrust agents" have been confined to the lepubllcan party. In our friend's mind. Qemenceau on BUmarck. French writers are expressing Yench sentiment about BIsmrck and hl? memori'. Some are rolng farther than others* but 11 are Inspired by about the same feelngs. M.

Clemeneeau'o violence of expression rill undoubtedly convey tne impression in the minds of his readers that Blsnorck's greatness as n statesman Is not tppreclated by him quite to the extent .0 which It Is regarded by those wh<? iew the Iron Chancellor as the founder >f the German empire. The German rtate.*men and the German press may lave their satisfaction by setting back it the French statesman In his own dad. That Invidious Comparison.

The only reason to doubt it might be found in the possibility of it being given out by the Spansh government to "pacify" public sentiment in Spain.

It may bo new* to some of the younger readers of Che Intelligencer to know the origin of the handsome soMlera' monument than. ?tanUs In front* of the public building art. the corner of ChopMne and' Sixteenth streets. The fair proved an immense success, and' as the war oloHt-d soon after it was held, quite a handsome sum of money was left, which was put'lnto the hands of trustees, onty two of whom I can recall with any centui.r.i.y?Dr. T. H. Logan and! Samuel Laughlln. ThJ? fuind was carefully nursed' by Judicious investment until1 it amounted to some |6,000, I think. It was then decided to devote It to the erection of a memorial to the West Virginia soldiers who gave up their Mves for the preservation of the Union. Tlie cornei-wone of this, monument was originally laid with great pomp and ceremony on that' commanding eminence at the top of the National road, at the foot of whiciv commences the driveway leading to M?t'. Wood cemetery. For Home years the cornerstone slumbered on that spot- alone, untiil it was finally removed to the present location over which has been reared1 the beautlifuJ granite memorial we see today. As aill these impressions were taken from pictures painted thirty-four years ago, tho suggest Ion intrudes Itself that "there are only a few of us left." J. E. D. The He? n I nr. A song for tho Kcgulai! a song and a inxple's cheer For the man in bluo who's grit clear through from end to end o the year. From end u end o' the year he goes (with little enough for pay;. Through summer heat, through wintry snows, where duty points the way. O llttlo he cares for the cyclone's breath or the blizzard s nor'went sweep, Content enough with his quarter* rough and never a growl ut his Keep. Iteady to die. or ready to die, ready to broil or frecite, So loin; as no knows he Is giving his blows to keop the llag on the breeze. A grasp for tho Regular! a grasp for tho brawny hand That ueoks not to shirk a soldier's work however It's cast or planned. O grudging enough, In the hour of peace, is the praise for his manly deed; But the people know where their faith must go In tho day of the nation's need. When the dogs of war are out on the trail, when tho foe has loosed hln pack, Whoso trusty rifle is. ready then to pay him doubly back? Who meets him wherever he dares to claim a rood on soil in fee And makes him feel the might of his steel from mountain crest to soa? Our hearts to the Regulars! our hearts to tho dauntless son Who rloars the way for a freeman's sway with his freeman's sword and gun. We saw him rush through the tropic crush to nuccor our gallant Wood, And well ho know, when the bullets flew, where the form of Caney stood. O who will forget the bloody debt he wrote from hi* streaming veins When down from the Heights of San Juan he looked on the Cuban plains? O who will forget tho charge he made, 1 ?.. .........lohul fna'u dKRIialr. nnu HID Vnimuin.-M -W.. - , , When tlio banner of Snaln ne'er row again and they saw Old Glory there? ?John Joromo Rooney In New York Sun.
