The methods whereby Cleveland
and his man Morton were enabled to
capture the late democratic state con-
vention of Nebraska are gradually be-
ing revealed. The convention was
packed with candidates for postoffices
and other positions, who were given
to pnders! and that the administra-
tion's financial policy must be sustained
by the state convention if they were to
expect any favors from the admins
tration. Letters are published that
were sent out by Secretary Sheehan
of the democratic state committee, in
which he gave 1000 candidates for
federal appointments in that state to
understand they must be at the state
convention and stand by the admins
tration, ADD copies of these let ers are
made public by NJ. d. Tiffany, vice
president of the democratic state
league Ct clubs Nobody believed that
that convention voiced the sentiment
If the democrats of Nebraska, and
how that the true inwardness of the
natter is understood it is not surpris-
ing that Congressman BRYAN and
many democrats have repudiated the
whole thing as great fraud.

four bits. Break the tender young
leaves of lettuce, never using knife.

PARTY SUCCESS.
WHAT DOES 1T MEAN TO THE
MASSES?
In Its Last Analysis Is 1t Not Greed
for once?

In the light of the present situation
we may well inquire, what is party
success to the masses of the people?
We have in this country, apparently
arrayed against each other, two great
political parties. In that that is most
important, which affects the interests
of the masses most, where do they
differ? Since Cleveland and the whole
country, bankers and all, have con-
coded that the money question is the
most important, and that it could be
greatly modified and instant relief
given by proper legislation, it is well
to consider the position of these two
parties on this question. Have they
not united to strike down silver?
Do not Cleveland and Harrison
stand together on this all important
issue? Witness John Sherman and
Dan Voorhees, marching together to
the music furnished by the fat man at
the white house! See Carlisle turning
political somersaults to get into the
circus ring formerly occupied by the
republicans. The republicans de-
monetized silver in 1873. The demo
Gratis denounced them for it for twenty
years and then done the very same
thing in 1898.
There is no change in the financial
policy. The democrats are simply
.aping the republicans. On the ques
ton of transportation they do not
differ. They both permit the railroad
companies to tax the traffic all it will
bear" And the people cay the bills.
There was some talk of difference on
the tariff, but that has almost sub
sided. The Mckinley bill will prob
ably go. 1t could not well be other
wise. But one very near like it will
take its place. There were pledges of
democratic economy, but +, publican
billion dollar congress is succeeded
by a democratic billion dollar con-
gress. republican salary grab was
supplemented by democratic salary
grab. If there was anything mean
that the republican party did, which
the democratic party has not done, we
haven't heard of it. They both be-
long to Wall street. But don't they
differ in anything? o, yes, honey, we
almost forgo'. They differ as to who
ought to have their hands in the pub
lie crib. They differ as to who should
patriotically and patiently draw their
salary and do nothing for the people.
They vie with each other in their mad
efforts to serve Wall street and it's
English allies. Hence there is a wild
scramble. But it is not as to who
shall periodically serve the people
All the part the people are expected to
play in the drama i, 10 vote the
ticket" After that 1.-The people be
damned" There was 4 time when
party success meant the success of a
principle. Now it means the distribu-
tion'of Offices the apportionment of
official pie. There was a time when
you could tell mans politics by the
principles he advocated. Now YOU
can't do it. You know MIN only by
the badge he wears or the ticket he
votes. Party success means nothing
to the people but change of post
masters. For this they will yell till
they are hoarse and vote themselves
into poverty and their children into
paupers' graves. This is modern party

BottIing Tears.

The custom of bottling tears is pc
culiar to the people of Persia. There
it constitutes an important part of the
obsequies of the dead. AS the mourn
ers are sitting round and weeping, the
master of the ceremonies presents each
one with a piece of cotton, wool or
sponge with which to wipe away the
tears. This cotton, wool or sponge is af-
terward squeezed into bottle. and the
tears are preserved as a powerful and
efficacious restorative for those whom
every other medicine has failed to re-
vive. 1t is to this custom that allusion
is made in Psalms LVI. s, Put thou
my tears into thy bottle. Brooklyn

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The first
skirmish over the tariff in fhe Fifty
third congress occurred in the house
yesterday afternoon, and, after a
deadlock lasting until $50 last even
ing, resulted in a practical victory for
the Republicans, led by Mr.. Reed.
MIR. Wilson, chairman of the ways

imous consent for the consideration of
resolution to permit the ways and
means committee to sit during the adj
journment, and to file with reports
any bills, and providing that if filed,
such bills and reports shall be mailed
to each member. This had reference
to the tariff bill. Mr. Reed objected,
explaining that the minority should
have fair and decent opportunity to
examine and prepare minority re-
port on bill of such Importance as
the tariff bill before its presentation.
When the motion was put the Demo
Gratis all voted aye and only one Re-
publican voted nay. No quorum
Mr. Reed, by means of dilatory
tactics kept the house deadlocked
without quorum until $50,
when he offered an amendments to
Mr.. Wilson's resolution, as follows:
The chairman of the committee on
ways and means shall have the right
to call together the committee and to
file with the clerk of the house any
revenue bill which shall be ordered bv
the committee for publication, and
the report of the committee, together
with the views of the minority, shall
be filed together for publication not
less than ten days after the filing and
publication, unless an earlier date can
be agreed upon.
The compromise was satisfactory to
Mr.. Wilson and he signitied his will
ingness to accept the amendment
The resolution was then agree to and
