NEWS OF THE POLITICAL WORLD.

II is a curious fact that Bryan does
not belong TO the Democratic party oil
his own state, but To II boiling faction
which nominated ticket Of its own last
year, and polled only little over one
twentieth OF the whole number Of votes
cast.
Bryan has decided that he Will not
formally accept the Populist nomination
but will allow all Populists who wish to
vote for him. IL that action doesn I
leave the Populists afloat without sail
oar, rudder or compass, 1t would be
hard 10 imagine ANYTHING that could.

CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.
Foreign Affairs Committee May
Take Action To-day.

Washington, Dec. S.-The Cuban cues
ton will he forced upon the attention of
the House committee on foreign affairs
again this session. Several of the most
enthusiastic friends of the insurgent
cnuse, who were disappointed by the fail
ure OF the President to take action, are
drafting resolutions which will he re-
fcrrcd To il committee and must be disposed
of in one way or another.
Among them are Mr.. Smith, of Michi-
gan, and Mr.. SuZcr. of New York, who
contemplate joint resolutions requesting
or instructin% the President to recognize
the bcllgerency or the independence of
the revolutionists
1t is possible that Cuba will be the topic
at the committees first meeting. Messrs
Hit Adams and Draper, who constitute
the subcommittee on Cuba, appointed
last session, talked of the matter briefly
III day, but the conference was merely in
formal and productive of no conclusions.
General Draper who was one of the
most resolutc opponents of recogniton
thinks that the second thought of Con-
gress on the Cuban question has greatly
strengthened the sentiment in favor of Il
policy of non-intervention.
The Senate sub committee on foreign
relations will meet tomorrow at II
ciock. III Is understood that the Cuban
question will he ut once considered. Some
OF the most conservative Senators who
opposed recognition in the last session are
now of the opinion that the time for ac.
ton has arrived.
The Hawaiian cable bill is still pending
before the committee and ii MAY receive
attention, especially if it should he deter
mined to postpone the consideration of
the Cuban question until that portion of
the President message is formally re-
fcrrcd to the committees

WHY NOT COME SoUTHs

The intense suffering produced by the
recent snowstorm in the far Northwest
directs attention once more To the genial
climate and rich agricultural lands of the
, South.
Without claiming too much for this
section of the country it may be truth
fully said that nowhere else can such adj
vantages of soil and climate be found as
in the South Atlantic and gulf States.
Nature has endowed this region with her
most lavish gifts, and all that is needed
to make them serve our wants is the
magic touch of development. Our noun
tains teen with gold, iron, copper, man
gancsc, quartz, slate and other minerals.
while every variety of wood aDounds in
our forests. With respect to our farming
lands they are rich and productive, and
need only the sturdy toll of the farmer to
make them remunerative. Labor is plen.
tiful and with Il climate which permits
work in the fields during ten months in the
year, there is no reason why the farmers
of the Northwest should not find it large
ly to their interest to locate in this sec
ton.
With such favored lot as the people
of the South enjoy it is difficult to realize
the extreme hnrdships incident TO life in
the far Northwest. While the blizzard,
in all it's fury, is devastating the fields of
Wyoming and Nebraska, the millest con-
ditions prevail in this section. Unwith-
erel 10y frost the Southern rose holds out
its perennial Invitation to the suffering
victims OF the blizzard in the cold North
western States. Why should they con-
tinuc to suffer when there is so much
warmth and cheer in this section Let
them uurn their faces Southwark. In ex.
change for the risors of hcartlcss cline
the South offers them wealth of sun
Shine and II prodisality of resources
which no other section of the country en-
joys and TO these advantages which ma
turc has lavished upon her with such II
hountifnl hand. She subjoius hearty

feller's wealth is estimated at over one
hundred million dollars, most of which
has been accumulated from the profits of

His financial genius sees other ways of
rolling the golden ducats into his vaults
and thereby doubling his wealth perhaps
in Il few years.

The war in Cuba is becoming more in
teresting. Sharp firing has been heard
in Havana, and nearly all the volunteers
there have gone to the front. it is re-
ported that Maceo has crossed the Span
ish trocha with 600 men and, leaving the
main body of his army securely cntrench-
ed in the hills of Pinar del Rio province
mas gone to meet General Gomez, who is
marching westward with 1900 men. In
the meantime, General Wcyler is said to
be completely surrounded, and if he at
tempts to reach Havana by rail is in dan
ger of capture. Affairs appear to be rap
idly approaching crisis and stirring
news from the scene OF military opera
tions may he expected ut any time. Wey
ler's cou-sc is bringing upon him the ey-
ccration of enlightened people everywhere,
and should he be captured by the Cuban
rebels he will meet with an ignominious
end.

Ambassador Bayard has very scnsbly
declined 10 accept the Christmas gift
which the London Telegraph urged he
presented to hin: by his English admirers.
1t would not only have been in exceed
ingly bad taste for Mr.. Bnyard to have
taken the gift, out besides it is against
the laws and customs of this country for
Americans to accept honors or cmolu-
ments from foreign governments or the
citizens thereof. In declining the prof.
Tered testimonial Mr.. Bayard is profuse
i'll his thanks and in his expressions of
gratitude for the kindness anf courtesies
extended to him by his English cousins
during his sojourn in their country as the
ambassador of the United States. He has
on all occasions shown great partiality
for England and everything English,
and no doubt by his friendly course has
done much To increase the cortliality be-
tween that country and his own. He has
made some plumbers in his criticisms of
his own country, hut has no doubt been
convinced of his errors ere this. In view
of the recent delicate relations existing
between the countries it is perhaps fortu-
nate that the United States should have
been represented by man held in such
high regard by the English government
