For the first time in a great many
years, the Democrats of Texas, that
is the regulation state Democracy, is
placed in a position where it must
fight to win. This will involve a new
order of business in the management
of the campaign, and it may be that it
will not be so easy to harvest results
as the bosses imagine. 1t is certain
that there is considerable friction
over the running of matters at Fort
Worth and that Charley has not the
solid good will of even the silverites of
the party at mis- back. There is quite
a faction even in the present makeup
of the party that recently held con-
vention, that would have preferred
another candidate, then there are the
sound money Democrats who are out
for scalps, the Republicans, who on
every ground, are opposed to the pres
ent administration of affairs in the
state and the Populists. All of these
have to be reckoned with, for dissent
and discomfort are in the air. This
campaign will require more than the
simple contempt of the opposition to
land it a winner.

the Bridegroom was nervous.

A minister in Ohio says that women
have more nerve than men, This, he
nys, is especially the case when it
comes to marrying. Some timeNsince he
was called to marry a young couple in
what might be called the aristocratic
circle. The young man was very much
excited, but was trying to put on bold
face for the emergency. To show that
he was not frightened in the least he
concluded to ask the minister if it was
customary to kiss the bride. After
suffering for some time he finally
broke out: els cussing kistomary?'
The minister kindly informed him that
IL was not under the circumstances and
the young man was led to the altar like

and putty, taking pains to fill all the
cracks. This Is necessary to make the
box watertight.
In a day or two your waterscope will
be dry enough for use. On some bright
sunny afternoon push your boat out on
the lake or stream where you wish to
experiment. Thrust the glass end of
the waterscope well under the Surface
of the water and place your eye at the
other end. You will find that you can
see through the water with great dis
tinctness, often to the hiding places of
fish among those forests of the lake
bottoms, the seaweeds. The object Of
the waterscope is to cut through the
disturbed surface of the lake where
your boat stands, and also to protect
your eyes from the reflection of the sun
on the water. OF course 1t does not act
like a telescope, and you cannot see to
the bottom where the water is very mud
6y or where it is very deep.
But you will be astonished at what
fairyland of beauty the waterscope
will reveal along the edges of some Of
our clear lakes on sunny day. Often
you can see big clam, with his mouth
wide open, waiting for his dinner to
drop into it, or a lazy pickerel or a
sunfish resting near the bottom, and
sometimes you will see lost objects of
various kinds, including trolling hooks
and lines and other things of a similar
nature. The writer once knew q man

BRYAN AND NEBRASKA.
An Omaha Man Says it is Foolish to
Say He Won't Garry It

Denver. Aug. 24-s'When Congress
man ApsIey or anybody else tells you
that Bryan will not carry Nebraska, %
said George s. Wedgewood of Omaha at
the Brown Palace hotel yesterday, you
may set it down as a safe proposition
that he doesn't know what he is talk
ing about.
That dispatch the other day about
straw ballots in the city of Lincoln is
ridiculous. In that dispatch it was
stated that university place was prOba-
bly, the center of the political situation
and that there so ballots We're cast for
Mckinley and only IA for Bryan. The
fact is that University Place is not in
the city limits at all and has no pOliti-
cal influence whatever upon the city of
Lincoln. 1t is a little village built UP
about the Methodist university, just the
same as your University park, and the
only people who live there are the pro
feSSOrS and a few Methodist families.
It is possible that the straw vote ia
ken was as stated, but to mention it as
an Indication that Bryan will not carry
Nebraska is an absur3ity almost too
gross to deserve attention
1T is certain that Lincoln is a strong
Republican city and that Bryall- % pic
cinct and ward are the strongest Re
publican in the city, but it by no means
follows that Bryan will not carry Ne
braska. In the city of Lincoln a request
was signed by 1.200 Republicans asking
the Republican state convention to send
to St. Louis only such delegates as
would do everything possible to secure
the insertion of a free coinage plank in
the Republican platform, so it is evil
dent that there is q good deal of free
silver sentiment in the Republican city
of Lincoln.
1T is also known that great many
Republicans viii vote for Bryan, While
no Democrats will vote against him
who have not already done so. These
are facts which are well known to ev-
cry one familiar with Nebraska poll

FRICTION IN CUBA.
Special Dispatches Tell of Crisis in
the Government.

New York, Aug. 24-The World this
morning publishes the following spe-
ciaI correspondence, dated near Ha-
vana, Cuba, August IS:
Couriers have just arrived with news
of a crisis in the provisional govern
ment. There has been much friction
for months between several high Of
f1cers.
The climax came July % when the
head quartermaster spoke rather plain
Iy to the president. Colonel Manadaly,
secretary of war, resented this and
drew his revolver, supposedly to avenge
the insult to his chief. The quarter
master also had supporters and for a
moment blOOdshed seemed inevitable.
But the venerable president, aided by
the cooler heads present, quickly re-
stored a semblance of peace. The old
gentleman's feelings, however, were
deeply wounded and he Immediately
announced his resignation.
All that night the provisional gov
eminent was in great danger of igno-
minOus dissolution, but the next morn
ing all complaints were heard. Differ
ences were adjusted and President Cis-
neros Withdrew his resignation. The
trouble is over for the present, at least,
and the wheels of government are run
ming smoothly

over a statement that Wayde had made

allegation and Cliggett disputed the
denial two or three times when Wayde,
it is said, called him q liar About
that time friends interfered and stopped

the subject, therefore the whole ques-

more because of their prominence in
political circles and also of their hav-
ing been bosom friends up to the time
of the disagreement.
