Bryan, the country needs thee. Thou hast
come
To free the laboring workman from his bond,
To make the earth from end to end resound
Forever, with prosperity's unceasing hum.
We are defeated, but are not cast down;
We will be patient time will alter all.
Well work and hope, we will not frown
At tickle, fortunes present mein, nor weakly
fall.
Thou disregarded thelattacks of evil men,
Thy mind so grand and great an answer
scorned;
Through evil threats, the power then
Thou lost, but has not weakly mourned.
With thee our leader victory must come!
Us fate cannot long cruelty shun,
When thy mighty voice pleads for justice
alone,
Waited so clearly even to her throne.
Justice, though crushed and bleeding, cannot
die;
The great God hears even the ravens cry!
Treachery cannot long reign supreme;
Our human oppressors can't long be serene.
They can't long crush us into the dust,
While in our leaders, might we trust;
We know he will not lead us wrong;
His sense of right is great and strong.
He has a sweet compassion for the suffering,
Us from sorrow and need he yet will bring;
Truth crushed to earth will rise again!
Patience, hope, trust;.Oh, ye suffering men.
Bryan's our leader; We'll follow him on,
On, on to victory, nineteen hundred one;
When the new century her life has begun;
Oh, faithful followers, our work will be DONE
Bryan, our leader, at the capitol will preside,
To him our nations honor Wen confde;
Prosperity and happiness loud will ring,
Bryan will be president 'mong men very king,

THE PRINCESS
Tells Disconnected Story of Her In.
fatuation With the Gypsy
RppO

Buda Pest, December 80.-(Special.)-
The presence here Of Princess De Cara
man-C -Chimsy, formerly Miss Clara Ward,
an heiress, of Detroit, Mich, who eloped
from Paris last summer with Hungarian
gypsy musician, named Jsncsci Rigo,
has caused q sensation in certain circles.
The princess yesterday received a delega-
tion Of embers Of the press, to whom she
spoke in the freest manner.
She said that it was incorrect TO suggest
that her husband, Belgian nobleman of
French extraction, had behaved In an
ungentlemenly manner toward her. On
the contrary, she insisted, the prince had
always conducted himself as a gentle
man. But he was of cold, reserved
nature and was always more at his club
or on the turf than with his family. The
couple have two children living. The
princess was then asked why she left her
husband, and replied:
THAT Is q remarkable story. have
also asked myself why have done so ana
cal find no reply to the question. Soon
after our marriage went with my hus-
band to Brussels. At first found the
Belgian aristocracy very sympathetic.
When, however, there was talk of high
parsonage having shown me special favor,
an entire change occurred The sympa-
thy first shown me WAS withdrawn and
therefore went to Paris. there became
acquainted with Rigo in the Cafe Fail
lard He was acting as 5andmaster.
Rigo liked me better than his beloved
music. The rest you know"
In conclusion the princess said: II
should like very much to see my children
again; but the law has given them to
their father. I, on the other hand, have
given up half my income, $4,000, for
their education. 1 shall remain two
months in Hungary"
The "high parsonage" referred to by
the pricness in this interview is under
stood to refer to King Leopold Of
Belgium, and Is said to furnish the cause
for the refusal of the Queen Of Belgium
to be introduced to Princess De. Caraman-
Chimay at garden party at Laeken, the
royal park and palace near Brussels.
The suit for divorce instituted by the
prince against his wife Is now In progress
at Charleroi, Belgium. They first met at
Nice and were married In the presence
of the United States and British am
bassadors.
Rigo is now said to be trying to induce
his wife to commence divorce proceedings
against him, promising her large sum
of money II she will do SO. 1t is added,
however, that the deserted woman refuses
to take this step, as it would enable Rigo
to marry the princess.

SPAIN ASKS OUR AID.
Wants Olney to Negotiate With
the Rebels.
REFORMS OFFERED TO THE CuBANs.
In Return For Our Good Onices Canovas
Apologies For Commercial Losses We
Have sustained--Proposes Reciprocity
Between United states and Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-It has been
learned from an authoritative source
that Secretary Olney and Senior Dupuy
de LONE, the Spanish minister, have
practically terminated the negotiations
on the Cuban question which are TO be
submitted to congress, when 1t convenes
on Jan. 8. The terms of the agreement
are based on the recent official commu-
nication from Premier Canovas.
The premier states clearly the terms
which Spain will accord to the insur.
gents and practically asks the United
States to propose these conditions To
her rebellious subjects. In return for
our good office, Spain assures this gov.
ernment that she sincerely deplores the
great commercial loss which we have
sustained on account Of the Cuban dis
turbance. She assures us that she is
even now considering reciprocity
treaty which will deal mainly with
Cuban products, and which will DO
framed in such advantageous terms
toward this government that our losses,
both in commerce and in the destruo.
tion OF American property in Cuba,
will bo most generous ly compensated.
Premier Canovas says that Spain can.
not, OF course, as self-respecting aud
respected nation, stand before the world
as having been coerced into measures
by the United States. She has freely
granted all that she now offers, and
that in the face of rebellion. But she
accepts the good offices of the United
States to act as mediator and to guaran.
tee to the insurgents amnesty and the
enforcement of the new reform law
which she is about to proclaim in Cuba.
The form of government offered is.
the Spanish statesman declares the limit
Of independence which can be granted
to province by any nation, without
absolutely severing the bonds of union
with the mother country. Autonomy,
as enjoyed by the Canadians, can never
be granted Cuba.
What Spain is willing to grant the
insurgents, if they lay down their arms.
and what she asks the United States to
guarantee, is an act which provides for
n council of administration which shall
control all matters pertaining to the
commerce of the Indies and all estimates
upon the general taxation and expendi-
lures Of the island as well as its general
home government.

Republican leaders do not seem to
have learned anything from their ex'
perience in 1890 and 1892. The McKin-
ley tariff and the billion dollars ex'
travsgance of that period were rebuked
in those elections, but Mr.. Mckinley and
his associates are preparing to repeat
their folly. The New York World, a
god bug paper, thus speaks of this
movement:
zone would think that the President
elt ct and his advisers must be aware
that he would not have been elected
without the help of a million and half
Democratic voters and the electoral
votes of Democratic States, and that
they would recognize this fact by a
patriotic and conservative use of the
power intrusted to them. But no-they
are already planning to have another
tariff for trusts and to give more protec.
ton to monopoly.
"This is the folly of bourbonism.
"Toincrease duties is to diminish reve.
nues. This was the avowed purpose Of
the Mckinley tariff. This was its result.
The receipts from customs in 1890, the
year before the Mckinley law went into
effect, were $229, ,o6S, ,5S5. The loss in
customs revenue in 1892 was 1000, 900,
and in 1894 the last year of the McKin-
ley law-it was sos, 900, 900.
Is it not stupidity, and something
worse in an emergency like the present,
to propose as the remedy for deficit
the same medicine that was applied only
too successfully as the cure for a
surplus?"

The degeneracy of American politics
of the hysteric school, was observable
yesterday when six strapping fellows,
old enough and big enough to earn a
living, came marching through town
carrying a TIN horn lot feet long and
some wide. They had bummed their
way from Decatur, ILL.,, on wager, the
conditions of the bet including the
stipulation that the fellows carrying the
campaign relic should earn no money
en- route, but should be charge on the
public and beg their way. Of course
these beggars we're we'll received, though
the advance agent of prosperity must
have felt somewhat embarrassed in greet
ing this gang of tramps, the direct and
legitimate result of Doodle politics,
corruption and bunco. The Major has
a big tin horn while the fools that carried
it across the country will beg their way
back.

THE RECENT BANK FAILURES.
Comptroller Eokeis Says They Are Due
to Local Causes Situation Good.

Comptroller Eckels Says They Are Due
to Local Causes Situation Good.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Comptroller
of the Currency Eckels says that he
feels no apprehension over the bank
failures which have occurred Of late.
Said he.
"Of course bank failures are more or
less disquieting, but those which have
occurred recently have little or no gen.
eral significance attached to them. They
are due largely to local causes. wholly
unconnected with the general condition
of the banks through the country at
large. The case of the Atlas bank was
not failure at all, but was mere vol.
untary liquidation, every depositor be-
ing paid in full. The failures Tuesday
were of minor Importance, in each case
the bank capital being only $780, 900.
As against these few failures, based on
local causes, the general condition of
the banks is excellent.
"The reports received under the last
call, that of Dec. II, are uniformly fa-
vorable, and show an average reserve
held of considerable above the % per
cent required by law. One of the last
reports, that of the Brooklyn banks,
shows the average reserve held to be
84.02 per cent, and most of the reports
run 3 or 10 per cent above the legal re-
quirement. In each case, too, the as
sets in detail make an entirely satisfac-
tory showing as compared with the la
bilities. On the whole it is evident that
the national banks today are as stable
as they ever were, and the sporadic
failure Of bank here and there through
defects peculiar to the failing bank is of
small Importance, wholly without gen.
eral significance.

form was put in to ''catch silver wood

ment" is myth. Is anyone idiotic
enough to believe that England will
give up fine snap until compelled to?
1t won't work. The confidence game is
played out. Might as well fall back on
the three shells and the little pea as to
come around at this late date to insist
that international agreement" be
brought about. Who's going to agree?
Nobody on the other side of the pond
will. The only way to restore bimetal-
ism is to restore it. Solicitude for the
poor foreigner, who, they say, would be
obliged to take $50 cent dollars" is
really laughable when one considers that
m attempt will be made to re.enact the
bill and make the same poor
foreigner settle, for, you know, "the
foreigner pays the tax"

The handful of Republican bimetallists
who were deluded with international
agreement" promises during the cam.
paign and who stood shoulder to shoulder
with John Sherman, are digging the
scales of their eyes and will later do
what thousands of honest Republicans
did-join the bimetallic forces and help
restore prosperity that is substantial
and that will not go into hiding every
time some fellow yells boo. They are
already beginning to discover that Sher.
man is a single gold standard advocate
and that nothing can be expected from
him in the way of restoring the money of
the constitution, hence an opposition to
his name for secretary of state, which is
like y to successfully put him out of
business in that direction. Men of the
Foraker stripe are after the old icicle,
who spends twice his salary to live, but
who has yet been able to make millions
by successful mani pulation of legislative
action, and they propose to retire him.
If Mr.. Mckinley doesn't take care of
old John, he's goner, for the Foraker
men will never allow him to succeed
himself as senator, and they control the
