REPUBLICANS YIELD
Their Date for Chicago Parade to the Pope,
Gratis to Avoid Riot.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-TWo weeks ago the
Republicans applied to the police depart
ment for a permit to parade on Oct 81
Soon afterward the Bryantes applied for
permit to parade on the following Sun
day. AS soon as the intention of the lat
ter to parade on Sunday became known.
the idea was denounced by ministers of
the Gospel and others, Bryanites as well
as honest-mOney men, and such a storm
OF protests reached Chairman Jones that
he gave orders to the county committee
not to hold the parade
The local Popocrats then applied to
Chief Badenoch of the police department
Tor permission to parade on Saturday.
Mr.. Badenoch declined on the ground
that he had already issued a permit to
application, and he did not think it wise
that parade of two parties who We're so
bitterly opposed to each other should be
held at the same time.
Thomas Gahan of the Popocrats then
announced that the silverites would pa
rade anyhow. whatever Badcnoch said,
and the chief of police was just as de-
termined to enforce obedience to the law.
For Il time there were grave fears that
there would be riot caused by the re-
sistance of the silvertes to the law and
their opposition to police regulations
When the affair reached such a stage
that 1t became apparent that the Popo-
Gratis would either parade or precipita te
q riot. Walter S. Groves and George, T..
Hall. who had charge of the Republican
parade. called Chief Badenoch and
declared that rather than have trouble
they would withdraw the application for
a permit for the Republican parade and
surrender the date to the Popocrats.
Chief Badenoch does not wish that the
Bryanites should be rewarded for having
threatened to violate the law but the
Republicans are interested in preserving
law and order.

last Friday, that the great reason why

account of their being CHASED up with a

Fierce Attacks on Veteran Uaien Generals b,
Western Silver Papers.

Chicago, Oct PA sample of TIL
vicious and malicious attacks beinl
made by the Popocratic newspapers up
on workers in the cause OF sound money
without regard to party allegiance, i
the following, taken from the Soutl
Omaha Daily Sun, which carries at 1T
masthead every day the names of Will
liam Jennings Bryan for President and
Arthur Sewall for Vive President, un
der date of Oct. l. 1896, the same being
circulated now in leaflet form through
the Western country:
"A carload of old bummers called
Generals. are now touring the country
on free passes, and their other expenses
are being paid by $Hanna. telling the
people how to vote. They were IN
Omaha last night. When the people
stop to consider why such skunks are
so terribly interested, 1t is enough 10
settle the matter that it is not any love
for the poor man or the laborer that
prompts these Generals to thus SWING
around the circle But when the rotten
old ship is sinking so fast that the crew
Is becoming desperate, and to be fair
with them they hardly know where
they are at"
The following appeared in the issue of
that paper of Oct 3:
'.These hired pups. touring the coun-
try under the pay of Mark Hanna, sty-
ling themselves Union Generals. al
lude to Mr. Bryan as a repudiator and
an Anarchist. Were the people they
addressed as contemplate Anarchists
as these Generals are, who have sold
every atom of manhood they ever did
possess, their speeches would be cut
very short when they utter such trea-
son as to call Mr.. Bryan or any of his
supporters an Anarchist. They are
simply a lot of old secondhand run
down-a at -the-heels bummers, living off
the people and still trying to keep up
a strife for the pay they are getting
from the managers of John Bulls
American office"
All this will be interesting reading for
the union veterans who fought under
these generals. In Lincoln. the home of
Bryan, the Independent of that city
had this to say concerning the visit of
the union generals:
The Republicans forced old gray
headed white women to march in the
Generals parade from the railroad
station over the rough and dusty streets
to the state house and back Black
cyprians attended by drunken white
men yelling for Mckinley rode in
carriage Both these scenes, the march
ing gray-haired white women and the
black cyprians escorted by white men,
were enough to make any decent white
man blush for the age in which welive."
The foregoing statements are not anv
more reckless or unseemIy than those
now dropping from the lips of Bryan in
his shooting tour through the middle
Western states

CONSULAR SERVICE REFORM.
New Law Prohibiting Taking Fees to Go INTO
Effect at Once.

Washington,O Oct. 21.-Secretary oiHey
today, issued an order of far-reacnlhs
effect upon the American consular ser
vice. which abolishes many fees aSains'
which foreign shippers and domestie
importers have so long protested ana al
the same time sweeps away the luera-
| five attractions of many consulates
abroad. particularly those in Great
| britain. where the loss to consular Off
cials in the shape of fees which they
have hitherto retained, will aggregate
over 5000, 1000. New amendments to con-
sular regulations are:
/. No oath shall be required for the
yerification of invoices of merchandise
on the free list or subject to specific
duty only.
2 The verification by oath of in
voices of merchandise subject expressly
or in effect to ad Nalorem duty may be
required when the consular officer to
whom the invoices are presented has
reasonable ground to suspect fraudu-
lent differentiation or other Wilful
misstatement therein, but shall not be
required in any other case. (Under this
section any oath may be taken by a
commissioner or other officers as are
permitted by law.
8. Consular officers are prohibited
from receiving the whole or any part of
the fees charged by the commissioner
or other officer for administering oaths
to invoices; from receiving anything as
a gratuity or otherwise on account of
the administration of such oaths and
from being in way, directly or Indirect
ly pecuniarily interested in such fees"
These regulations, which will take eff
feet at once, are expected to effect &
great reform in the service and correct
many abuses alleged to exist.

FREIGHT CAR SHORTAGE.
The Famine II West Getting Beyond Control
Less Favored Roads Complain.

Chicago Oct. 21.--Omaha reports that
the freight car famine is still assuming
alarming proportions in the West. The
Missouri Pacific is short over 600 cars
north of Kansas city. and the Union
Pacific, Burlington, Omaha Elkhorn
and Rock Island are far behind in the
| number of required cars in Nebraska
| while the famine in Iowa and Kansas
| is even worse. The roads have need of
cars for extra freight, for all the wheat
in the country is being rushed to mar
ket during the present high price. AL
though it is believed by many that the
market will reach 81 Before slump,
the average shipper and farmer are
taking no chances and consequently
want to get their wheat on the market
at once and take advantage of the
present prices.
The executive officers of the western
roads. yesterday. came to the relief of
the traffic managers and offered sug-
gestions for the solution of the knotty
problem of the restoration of rates
under what is known as the Union
League pool. Each road in the pool
was entitled to a certain percentage of
the aggregate traffic. The roads which
went ahead Of their shares were to
turn over enough freight to the roads
running behind to make up the de-
fciency.
The roads which ran ahead absolute
ly refused to turn over any of the
freight which they secured. The ex-
ecutive decided that the old pool could
not be improved upon. and instructed
the traffic managers to settle all rate
difficulties by November I'd. The roads
which ran behind their percentages are
willing to return to the rules of the old
pool if their shortages are made up
The other roads claim that it would not
be fair to start all over again.

TERROR OF CHILDREN.
The Ono Disease Which Every
Intelligent Mother breads.
II Your Child Il Not Well, You Should
Cure It Before the Dread Disease
Sets In. Do Not Ignore
First Symptoms.

There is no more dreaded disease by
parents than fits, epilepsy and st. vitus'
dance.
If there is one word Of advice we
would give to parents it is not to allow
children who become indisposed, nerv-
GUS or little out of order, to drift into
these terrible diseases. Neglect of the
first symptoms is nearly always ac-
countable for the termination in fits,
epilepsy or ST.. Vitus' dance.
Cure the child when the first symp-
toms appear. Watch the infant or
child and see if it manifests any nerv-
Gus symptoms, if it is nervous, restless,
wakeful, cries out, grits it's teeth or
losses about in sleep, has twitching of
muscles, limbs or eyelids, if its tongue
is coated breath bad with irregular
appetite and bowels. See if it is pale,
puny and does not grow and develop
we'll, if it tires easily and does not play
with usual energy. If so, you must
look out for your child or these most
dreaded complaints will follow.
Give it at once DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, which, from
it's perfectly wonderful record in cur
ing children, is the household remedy
in nearly every home in the land. This
greatest of children's remedies is per-
fectly harmless, being made of pure
vegetable medicines, and may be given
to infants or children of any age. 1t
will always bring health and strength
to the little ones.
