feat and seClusiOn from power for two
years would have been q lesson, and
that when they returned to power they
would have used extra exertions to
commend themselves to the people,
but, instead, they seem to have be-
come rsVenOus by their enforced sb-
sence from the fodder rack, and to have
gone in to gorge themselves, regardless
Of all else."
Eldorado Republican, August IL,
1893: "When this government, at the
beginning of the war, employed green
backs to aid the Union soldiers in put
ting down the Rebellion, it builded
better than it knew;snd from that very
hour this country has been desper.
ateIy In love with the paper dollar,
and by no legislative process can they
be eliminated, the only trouble being
that we haven't enough Of them.
Next to the greenbsck, silver is the
most popular money, and ever since
1873, when Republicans and Demo
Gratis entered into a conspiracy to de.
stroY silver, by repeating the then
existing silver coinage act, till this
time, every possible subterfuge has
been resorted to for the purpose of
deceiving the people and quieting this
silver agitation. The people recognize
this movement against silver as a con-
spirscy."
Eldorado Republican, August IL,
1893: "We are not q monOmetslliSt
nor bimetallist, but we believe this
country, by the use Of little plain,
every day, horse sense, can take care
of all the gold and silver that can be
dumped upon 1t and use 1t all as a
basis for a very largely increased vol
ume of plain, old fashioned rag
money; and that no nation, however
great, and no combination of nations,
however formidable, can bankrupt US
because we have too much gold and
silver money as q basis of our paper
circulation. But one of the unfortu.
nate things In connection with this
money question is that there are too
many lying newspapers in the land,
too many purchsssble politicians in
Congress and too much partisan dis.
honesty, and too many individual hogs
in high places to permit Of an honest
solution Of it,"
Topeks's Festival week was a great
success so far as crowds were con-
Cerned. The entertainment was good.
The parsdeS were up to date and
averaged well with those seen In
other cities. The only bad feature was
the disposition to introduce politics
into the reunion speeches. No one
would have objected particularly to
that If all parties had fair show, but
the management was particular to see
that with one or two exceptions no one
disposed to favor Bryan had chance
to talk. There are a large number, Of
course, of old soldiers who desire to be
fair about these things, but the leaders,
who are largely Republicans, and who
work the reunions for political pur.
poses, have In view nothing but the
matter of securing party advantage.

Cause Made Rapid Progress In
the Campaign.
GREATEST OF ISSUES.
Most Important Ever Submit
ted In Time of Peace.
The Gold Democrats Can't Dis
guise Themselves Again.

New York, Dec. I'm the December
number of the North American Review
published today, Mr.. Bryan has an ar
ticle in which he discusses the result
of the election as affecting the status
of the silver question. The issue on
which the election turned he describes
as the greatest issue ever submitted to
the American people in time of peace
The declaration Of the Chicago con
vention in favor Of the free coinage of
silver forced upon the people of this
country, he says, a study of the mon
ey question in general and within the
last four months more people have
been simultaneously engaged in its
consideration than ever before in the
history of the world.
IN Mr.. Bryan'S opinion the cause
made more rapid progress than any
cause ever made in such a short time.
He expresses his assurance that the
election can be by no means regarded
as a conclusive settlement of the ques-
ton at issue. The advocates of silver
coinage are convinced, he says, that
they are laboring in behalf Of a. large
majority of the people, not only here,
but throughout the world, and, ac-
COrding to the writer they propose to
continue their contest, confident that
four more years of experience viii con
vince many who have thus far resist
ed arguments
This confidence, Mr. Bryan says, is
confirmed by the history of recent cleo
lions. Mr.. Greeley was defeated in
1872 and yet Mr.. Tflden was elected in
1876. Mr.. Blaine was defeated in 1884.
but Mr.. Harrison was elected in 1888.
The Republican victory of 1883 was fol-
lowed by the election of 1892 Mr.. Bry-
an counsels the successful party to re-
member that thousands Of Republi
cans have been held to their party this
year by the pledge that it viii try to
secure international bimetalism.
In reference to the gold standard
Democrats, Mr.. Bryan feels assured
they cannot do as much in 1900 as they
clared their affection for Democratic
principles while they spared no effort
to secure the success of the opposing
ticket. They cannot, he says. disguise
themselves again

DUKE con Sl5.OOO.OOO.
With Miss Vanderbilt, Marlborough
Acquired That Amount.

New York, Dec.1.-In connection with
the recent festivities at Blenheim cas-
tie, a morning paper says that prior to
the wedding Of Consuelo Vanderbilt to
the Duke Of Marlborough, the brides
father, William K. Vanderbilt, settled
$4,000, 600 upon the couple. The Duke
received s. 600, 900 and the Duchess sl0,-
600 600.
The settlement was not made in cash,
but in investments for the benefit Of the
Duke and Duchess. These investments
are principally in the stocks and bonds
of the Lake Shore and other Vanderbilt
railroads. Duchess Consuelo did not re-
ceive her $40. 600 600 outright, but enjoys
the income Of that sum. In case Of her
death without issue this $4,000, 600 is to
revert to the Vanderbilt family. It is
added that 5000, 600 Of the Sl5,0O0,00O
dowry had previously formed part Of
the settlement made on Mrs w. K
Vanderbilt a the time she secured q
divorce This particular $4,000 600 is Of
the $40 0O0. 600 settled upon the Duchess
and is to revert to the estate of Mrs.
Vanderbilt (noW Alrs.O- H. p. Belmont)
in case the Duchess dies childless.
These settlements were made on be-
half Of the Duke of Marlborough by his
counsel, Mr.. Robert Harding N1illward,
during the engagement period.

Each attorney made a speech to the
court making the claims Of their
clients. Judge Hazen said:
THE whole business of this receiver
seems to have been to cover UP rather
than to give a fair administration Of
the affairs. In every case we see false
entries which show a premeditated
transaction to cover up and get away
with money. These men ought to learn
to be honest in these matters. The ac-
counts show that he has squandered
the money from the time of the first

THE GREAT SNOW STORM.
Much Stock Perished in Nebraska but
Not as Much as Feared.

Omaha. Dec Final details of the
great storm that has enveloDed Ne
braska for six days We're received to-
day. Much stock has persisted on the
extreme western ranges where there
were few ravines in which afforded
shelter to the animals. The aggregate
is not so large as anticipated. however,
though the zero weather continues, it
is bright and the snow is rapidly disap-
pearing.
A peculiar feature of the great storm
is the efficient manner in which delay
has been avoided by railroads center
ing here Though great quantities of
snow fell between Omaha and the
mountains the service was uninterrupt-
ed. The Union Pacifc's Overland Linn
tied was not delayed at any point be
tween here and San Francisco. The Of
ficials are confident they have solved
the problem Of handling fast trains
regardless of heavy SHOWS which in
former times impeded traffic.
