Not enough Horaan.

A Solano correspondent OF the Rur.
al Press sounds this timely note of
warning; Some day before long our
farmers will awaken to the fact that
they do not possess sufficient horses
and mules to carry on their harvest
work with, IL such is not the case al
ready. We see daily farmers piling
their grain in the fields and waiting
for the end Of harvest to haul il, for
the simple reason that they have no
extra teams. Horses and other live.
stock have been cheap 80 long that
our farmers bave neglected to raise
them, and now, having no extra mon.
ey to buy more, must necessarily do
without.

rhes.le ga .h. Boy Orator.

q the Onle cad the Boy Orator.
Among the documents from the
Literary Bureau Of the gold bugs
which are daily flooding the country,
is circular to Railway Men, in which
the following occurs:
Railway Men of the East-You
who live in the older parts of the land
know the value Of home surroundings
and steady employment. You are
told that cyclone is coming from the
West to sweep you from the old moor
ings and break the ties which have 20
long bound you to all that is good in
life. Are your reasons so unsteady
that prairie gale can shake themP
Has the love of your country 80 weak
ened that it is at the mercy of the
windsf Can any blast of argument
convince you that You need to have
your wages cut in two? Shall boy
orator come at this day to teach you
what panic and bankruptcy means
,, and what Reputation and shame.
@Show your resentment OF the in
solvent invasion. Organize and
work."
Yes, railroad men of the East, or
ganize and work for your homes and
your wages Organize and work
against the combination of gold and
greed which has ever gambled in
the money Of the people, to their un-
doing. Organize and work against
the gambling clique which would put
the poor mans dollar ever at the mer-
cy the rich mans jugglery. Organize
and work to take from the neck of La
Dor the yoke of slavery to Shylocks
of Europe.
Don't forget the prairie gale from
the West. Don't be alarmed at the
siren utterances of the boy orator.
The one brings to you the sweet breath
OF promise and hope for the future
for all the country-a promise and a
hope rs refreshing as the prairie
breeze itself, as it dances on its silk
en- feet Oh evenings after a hot day,
and armorously toys with the bashful
grasses. The other brings to you
words of cheer and comfort-words
that speak Of a liberation from the
enslaVing bonds in which the money
ed kings of Europe and of this Nation
hold you and yours; words which you
cannot fail to appre slate and to rejoice

BRYAN'S SPECIFIC DENIAL.

William j. Bryan has made fat
footed denial of the charge that he is
or has been in the employ Of the
silver mine owners. In his denial he
says: Il have never at any time or
under any circumstances been in the
employ Of any mine owners, individ-
ually or collectively, directly or in
directly, nor have I ever been in the
employ of or been paid by any hi
metallic or silver advocates" Mr..
Bryan then goes on to state that out
side of his salary Of $3.50 per month
rs editor Of the Omaha World Herald
and a small amount derived from the
practice of his profession, his income
since his retirement from Congress
has been derived entirely from
lectures before Chataqua lyceums and
lecture bureaus, which have usually
paid him fixed sum, and from con-
tributions made by the people of the
localities where he has spoken. In
some instances he says he received
nothing at all and in most cases not
more than enough to cover his
travelling expenses In only two in
stances has his compensation ex-
ceeded SlOO, and Ill these instances it
was about $500 at one place ana
about $500 at another.
After making this specific denial OF
the charges made in Senator Thurs
toms letter, Mr.. Bryan states that the
hrst platform on which he run for
Congress i'll 1890 contained a free
coinage plank and in 1892 he again
ran on free coinage platform. He
also wrote the free coinage plank in
the platform on which he ran in 1890.
and the free coinage planks in the
Nebraska State platforms of 1891
1894, 1895 and 1896 and tried to secure
the adoption of free coinage blanks
in the State platforms of 1892 and
1893. He mentions these facts to
show that his advocacy of free silver
is not of recent date.
Having answered the charges made
against him, Mr.. Bryan says he will
take no further notice of individual
or newspaper comments upon this
subject. He then says: aft the Re-
publican National Committee will
say officially that it believes l have
ever been employed to deliver
speeches Dy mine owners or any
association supported by mine
owners, l am ready to make a state.
ment showing in detail all the money
received by me for speech-making.D
Mr.. Bryan's denial of the grave
charges made against him is direct
and explicit. He leaves no room for
his political opponents to place q
false construction upon his words
His denial has the ring of truth and
will be 80 taken by the American
people irrespective Of party.
Senator Thurston who first gave
circuiatlon 70 the charges against Mr..
Bryan said when he read his denial:
mr.. Bryan's word goes with me, and
L am glad to state 80 to the people Of
this country. Mr.. Bryan has denied
the charge, which was made by a
Democratic newspaper, and 1 have no
hesitation in declaring that 1 believe
him."
This effectually spikes the biggest
gun in the Republican mud battery
and Hanna and his millionaire SUD.
porters will now have to seek for
other campaign lies, with which to
besmiroh the record Of the people,s
champion.

WASHINGTON. DC, Feb. 3-The House

vote on the ambassador Bayard question at
the morning session, adjOurning at noon un-
til l.30 o'c ock. with Il declared purpose on
the part OF the republicans to adopt a resolu-

The republicans refused to let the matter
go back to subcommittee although they had
to admit that Gov. McCreery was right in
saying that some one proposition ought to be
submitted instead Of four. but the republicans
felt they must adopt some resolution. They
could not even wait for fear some of the re-
publican newspapers which were already

delay.
Accordingly they asked the recess till l.30

NEW PHOTOGRAPHY.
--latest Application of Roentgens'
Discovery to Medical Science.

VIENNA. Austria. Feb. 3-Dr. Neusser,
professor of medicine in the Vienna Univer-
sity, showed by means of photographs taken
by Roentgens' newly discovered system the
presence and position OF calcareous deposits
in the bladder, liver and kidneys Of II snb-
ject.
Prof Roentgens. who has discovered &
means OF photographing objects throuS /
metals and other sustances, holds tn
chair of physics in the University
of Wurzburg. lie made this astounding
discovery by accident few weeks ago while
experimenting with the electric discharge in
high vacua using for the purpose Crooke's
tube. The latter was covered with thick
black cardboard. so that no Wis bic rays of
light proceeded from il, and yet, under these
conditions, some sensitive Photographic
plates or paper which happ ned to be near,
were impressed with certain markings which
subsequent experiment proved to be due to
invincibe emanations from the vac Ium
tube
This started the professor on new linz of
research, and he discovered that by means oI
this strange form Of energy he could produce
Photographic effects through paper, card
board wood ami certain metals When his
discovery was made known TO the world the
scientists of Europe Immediately began OK
perimenting on their own account. 1t was
found that the bones in the human body could
be distinctly reproduced, while the outline Of
the flesh (hesh, skin and cartilage being
more transparent than bone) was only family
marked. 1t was also found that such foreign
substances rs bullets In the body were defined
with equal distinctness. The importance OF
this discovery to medical sciences is Of course
incalculable, as it will forever do away with
the old-time probing process.

Sanized by John A. Stewart. II is considered
probable that J. p. Morgan h Go. will adopt

The most pleasing sporting incident
of the entire year, thinks Harper's
Weekly, was Harvard's return of West
Points $3.50 expense guarantee (when
Harvard learned that West Point
charges no admission to game, and
raises expenses among officers and
cadets, and West Points subsequent
investment of the money in cup for
presentation to the Harvard eleven.
These are the acts of gentlemen. This
is evidence of sport for sports sake.

Dr. Herman Ahlwart. who has come
to this country after prolonged career
as slanderer of the Jews in Germany,
should be informed AT once that Amer
lea is no place for him and that the
sooner he gets out of the country the
better its people will be satisfied. Ahl-
wardt's past career has been made no.
torious by his vicious and malignant
assaults upon the Hebrew race. He
supports his attacks by arguments
which fool no one. They are the argu-
ments of blind irrational medieval
prejudice. The fact that he has been
allowed to continue his race persecu-
tion in Germany so long Is no reason
why he should expect to do so here.
The efforts to which he has set himself
are distasteful to the American people
without regard to race, sect or party
They fifty belong to the worst practices
Of the benighted middle ages. There Is
no room for them or for Ahlwardt in a
country where every race and sect
stands on plane Of equality in the en-
joyment of national institutions. No
true American citizen will have r. mo-
ment's patience with either Ahlwardt
or with his vicious prejudice,

COLISEUMS ELECTED.
Best Place for Holding National
Democratic Convention.
Contractors Are Under $4,000
Bonds to Have Ii Ready BY May L.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. Feb. 4-The sub-commit-
tee OF the national democratic COM
mittee has decided that the coliseum would
he the best place In Chicago for the holding
Of the national democratic convention. and
arrangements for its completion wilt there
fore be hurried up. the contractors being
under bonds Of $50, 900 to complete it by May
next Some months ago, during a storm,
the structure. which had reached the first
story and was almost ready for the roof, was
blown down. and since then little or nothing
has been done TO rebuild it.
According TO the plans submitted by pres
dent Dickinson. of the coliseum company,
the acoustics will be good enough for the dele
gates at least. to hear everything going on,
even il the twenty thousand spectators can
not. but after all this is the main considera-
tion. However every one eau hear. Before
the convention meets in July circus and
Buffalo Bill are 10 occupy the building, and
its strength will be thoroughly tested before
the delegates to the convention ana their
friends get there. The seating and other
arrangements as provided for are excellent
The delegates are to be seated in body by
themselyes-there being room for one thou
sand-directly in front Of the presiding Of
flcer, who will occupy huge platform with
the reporters. The question Of special and
honored guests will be settled most satisfac
torily. These will be seated side of the dele
gates, but not interfering with them, while
the general public will occupy seats to the
rear Of the delegates and special guests.
While the building is 676 feet in length by
800 feet in width the convention arrange
ments will not occupy more than two-thirds
of the interior spaces, allowing room for n
broad promenade on every side.
The exits from the rows Of seats, which will
be arranged in a semi-circle and rise in the
form of an amphitheatre will give ease OF
egress. while there are four grand entrances
to the structure-on on each side. i'll addi-
tton to a private entrance on the west side
for the use Of the delegates. The majority OF
persons will go to the coliseum By the Illinois
Central and Alley IL trains, which can land
ten thousand persons an hour at the doors.
In addition there is the cable line, which will
accommodate at least four thousand an hour.

The government. guaranteed protection 10

The detention OF all the prisoners Is un-

that the demands OF the reform committee
were reasonable and based on primary prin-

If the Transvaal government persists in
