NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
The Opponents of Four Battleships De-
feated in the House.


feated in the House.
Washington, May 5.-The opponents
of our battleships sustained an over
whelming defeat in the House to-day
on the proposition to accept the Sen
ate amendment to the Naval Appro-
priation bill reducing the number to
two. Mr.. Sayers, ex-chairman of the
Appropriation committee, made the
motion and supported his plea for
economy with figures as to the con-
dition of the treasury for the next
fiscal year.
Mr.. Cannon, the chairman Of the
Appropriation committe, ably sec
onded Mr.. Sayers. He appealed to his
side Of the House declaring the appro-
priations of this Congress would mort
gage the future revenue of the gov
ernment 800, ,00O,0 900, and inasmuch as
the next Congress could write a new
revenue bill, inside Of eighteen
months money would have to be bor-
rowed by the incoming Republican
administration to meet these obliga-
tions. These figures, however, did not
terrify the House, and after some re-
marks by Mr. Boutelle, the House vot-
ed 141 to 81 to non-concur in the Sen
ate amendments. The bill was sent
to conference.
The rule limited the debate on each
bill to 10 minutes. 1t was explained
that there were 105 bills on the cal
endar undisposed of, and that it had
been deemed wise to give the House
an opportunity to act upon them.
Mr.. Crisp contended that no bill
could be intel1igently considered in 10
minutes.
Mr.. Loud, Cal, also opposed the a.
doption of the order. The claims of
the old soldiers, he said, were not so
sacred as to justify their passage with
out consideration.
Mr.. Henderson said that when the
mailed hand of the administration was
held above the interests of the old
soldier, special legislation was need
ed. He recalled the fact that the first
time he had crossed swords with Mr..
Crisp in the House was over private
pension bills. He congratulated him,
however, on the fact that he Crisp
had forsaken opposition to the old sol
dier, and had turned it over to some
of his petty associates who ought to
take up Il CJnSGlEICS Iullu To- SGDble
with their maker. (Applause). He
hurled back the impptation that his
rule was brought in for campaign pur-
poses and intimated that some of the
obstructionists on the other side
found obstruction to pensions a great
campaign card in the South.
Mr.. CRISP chided Mr.. Henderson for
the heat he had displayed and after
some sparring the vote was taken by
yeas and nays and the order was a.
dopted, 172-56.
The Democrats who voted for the
order were: Messrs. Cummings, OF
New York; Downing, of Illinois; Lay
ton, Ohio; Sorg, of Ohio, and Sulzer, OF
New York.
Mr.. Loud, Of California, and Mr.. Set
tie, of North Carolina, were the only
Republicans who voted against the or
der.

Class Against Glass.

Talk about arraying one class against another. l want to ask you why it is that every Democrat who is interested ill syndicate or trust or has a salary from a railroad corporation is arrayed against the Democratic party? Why is 1t? It is because the Democratic party has declared against the issue of bonds in time of peace and the trafficking with syndicates. It is because the Democratic party is opposed to the trusts and the prices which the trusts have instituted. It is because the Democratic party be- lieyes in the control, the regulation and the restriction of all corporations, so that they will serve the purposes for which they were allowed to exist W. J. Bryan.

Eastern Men For Silver.

All through the east I found farmers who had been Republicans who were spenly supporting the free coinage of silver and were asserting that they had as much right to attend to their business as the New York banker had to attend to his business. Another thing I noticed, and that is the intense earnestness that eharacterizcs this campaign. I have not found lukewarm person anywhere. Politics is serious business when you confront such issues as confront the American people now.--W. J. Bryan.

WANTED TO INVEST.
Holders of Cold Were Anxious For Gov
 ernment Bonds.

ernment Bonds.
 It is natural that in a country like this, where all power emanates from the peo- pie and officers are chosen by the peo- pie, the people should feel an interest in public issues and campaigns through which they pass. When time comes when some great question forces itself to the frent, the interest is deepened, and we have reached such time.
 The money question has been forced upon the attention of the people by those who are not satisfied with the gradual appreciation of the dollar, but have sought to hasten the issue. It cer- tainly has been too rapid before for the welfare of the people, but those who were the benefciaries of the apprecia- tion of the dollar were not satisfied and attempted to hasten it's rise by action still more hostile to the white metal.
 They have not been content to let the people have an increased volume of money but they secured the repeal of the Sherman law and put nothing in it's place, and then began to issue bonds be- cause hard times had made it impossi ble to invest money in enterprises. Property was falling, and when property is falling people do not want to invest in property. They want to invest i'll money. and when money was idle and they could not find profitable investments in enter prises, some wanted to draw good in- terest on it in safe investments.
 In my judgment those who wanted a safe investment and wanted government bonds issued were, to large extent, re- sponsible for the result. In our platform we have declared against the issue of bonds in times of peace When you come to consider these questions, the interests of the people who must pay taxes with which to pay the bonds should be con sidered rather than the people who de- sire to profit by taxation Wrung from 8 people already oyerburdened. We knew when we put tho clause in our platform against the issue of bonds we should lose the bondholders, but we want the people who pay the taxes. William J. Bryan.

If we could trust our affairs to New York banker, we might endure it for a time, but when you remember that the New York banker Is under the control of the London banker ask you to reflect before you submit the destinies of a free people to few finanoiers.-W William J.

THE FOX AND THE FARMER

To Illustrate Point MT. Bryan Relates 8
 Fable.
 Whenever you find man who is go- ing to settle the question for you and relieve you of all care and anxiety, you find out whether he is on your side or not. Whenever I find one of these good natured men, these self sacrificing men, when l find one of these who are will ing to take upon themselves the think ing for all the rest of the people, I am compelled to think of one of 4Esop's fables.
 There was a farmer who was build ing fence to protect his chickens, and a fox came up to him and said: Don't bother about that fence You go on about your blowing and leave the chick ems to us. We foxes understand the chicken business.
 Now, my friends, before you let any body do your thinking for you, you be sure that mans interest is the same as yours, One man cannot think for two when their interests are different, nor is a man a good judge before whom to try your case if he is retained on the other side.
 want to ask you if the small busi- ness men who have been driven out of business by trust-I want to ask you if the people who, having been deprived of the advantages of competition, are made the prey of those who control the market-I want to ask you if they have not as good a right to judge of what is good for them as have the great cor porations which have these things in their hands and want to keep them there?

THE CITY COUNCIL
The fisrh Avenue Ordinance Comes Up for
 Consideration Tonight.

Consideration Tonight.
 The City Council will hold it's regu- lar meeting this (Mondayl evening. Among the ordinances that will .come up for consideration tonight is the ordinance to prohibit e vain vehicles and drays of over 1000 pounds burden, and of certain width of tire, from traversing Grayelling District No. l, more particularly described as West Fifth avenue. This street has recently been graded and graveled from Main to Cherry at considerable cost to the property holders and residents thereon. and it is needless to say that the latter are very much interested in the passage of the ordinance. Unless some pro- tection is given from heavily loaded vehicles and drays with narrow tires, it will be but a short time until the street is practically worth less as driving boulevard, and all the improvements made by the citi- zens practically lost. The ordinance should be passed.
