THE FUTURE OF WIN. j. BRYAN.
Silver Leaders Think He Expects to BE
the Nominee In 1900.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The politi-
clans, particularly the silver leaders,
continue to discuss Mr.. Bryan and his
future. Will he remain prominently
in evidence on the stump and lecture
platform during the next three years,
and, If 80, what will the effect be on
his fortunes in 1900?
The general opinion in silver circles
is that Mr.. Bryan expects to be and
should be a candidate of his party
again for the presidency. He il prac-
tically devoting his whole time TO the
silver cause. He is in easy circum-
stances financially. His book is sell
ing well, and his addresses, when his
subject is silver, are remuneratlve.
He is generous with his earnings, Civ
ing to the campaign funds OF his party
a liberal share. He travels q good
deal and is in receipt of many invita-
tions to speak. He Is regarded, in
deed. as the Wendell Phillips of the
silver crusade, and, like Phillips, pre-
fers always to talk on the subject near
est his heart. The abolition agitator
when invited TO speak or lecture, would
uame rather stiff terms for anything in
a literary line, but respond for nothing
if permitted to discuss slavery. So
with Mr.. Bryan. He is always ready
TO talk silver, and without price If the
cause can be advanced. But his in
come from both his tongue and pen is
said TO be large and this enables him
to give over the law and everything
else upon which at n time he de-
pended for a living.
Next fall Mr.. Bryan probably viii
appear in some Of the state campaigns.
The programme has not yet been ar
ranged. There may be some difficulty
about arranging it, for as strong a
drawing card as Mr.. Bryan is, there
are certain localities where his pres
encc might work injury to bis party.
He would likely go to Kentucky and
help Mr.. Blackburn, but his presence
in Maryland, New York or Ohio would
stir up last years fires and that would
mean Democratic disaster. II is agreed
Mr.. German will not try to carry Mary
land with a shout for free silver, nor
could any Roadway be made in New
York or Ohio by employing such tactics.
Mr.. German in Maryland, Mr. Murphy
in New York, and Mr.. Mclean in Ohio
each wants to make the home campaign
on the force Of his own personality.
But the introduction Of Mr.. Bryan into
the fight in these States would upset
calculations, for wherever Bryan Is
there will free silver be also.
Some very interesting gossip relates
TO a foreign tour which Bryan Is said TO

Plans OF Populists.

The campaign Of 1900, Senator But
Ter asserts with great confidence, will
be fought against the gold standard and
monopoly rule, and the Populists will
stand guard to see that these issues are
kept to the front. This sounds like a
firm resolve, but the procliyitcs Of Popu-
lists for mercenary dickering and fusion
are now well understood. Rev. Sam
Jones hit the mark when he said that he

Important Changes in the School Law


In looking over the changes of the
legislature in the school laws we note
the following:
County superintendent in the future
must prepare their own questions for
the examination of teachers; the time
of holding the annual examination is
changed from the first to the fourth
Thursday in August. The special ex-
aminations are also changed to the
fourth Thursday in February, May and
November. First grade certificates by
adding algebra may now be issued at
special examinations as well rs the an
nual. The per cent. remains the same.
One dollar is required to be collected
from each applicant, the same to be
used in institute work. In August,
nually, questions will be prepared
upon physics, botany, general history
and English literature, and all who
hold a first grade county certificate
may be examined for state certificate.
An average of so per cent. will be re-
quired in these branches. Questions
upon plane geometry, zoology, political
economy, bookkeeping and psychology
will be prepared, and all who hold
state certificates and take these
branches, making an average of 50
per cent. win be entitled TO a diploma.
This last examination will be held on
Monday and Tuesday after the annual.
1t is not incumbent on the county SUI
perintendent to hold these state exam
nations, but il a small per cent. of the
teachers desire it, they viii be held.

Neyada's Jones Decides.

i
The seyenty-nine other Senators in
the Congress of the United States, !
whatever may be their opinion of their
own Importance and influence in decid-
ing the course the old ship of state
shall sail on, and however much noise
they may make in the councils, all fall
back when Jones, of Nevada, energies
from his gloom and walks the quarter
deck. Jones knows his greatness and
his power. He never cheapens it. He
mingles in the minor concerns of
the ship, its v~ictualing, its petty officer
ing OF its way freights. These trifes
he leaves to the seventy-nine to settle
among themselves. But when the
question is what course the ships head
shall be laid to for a long voyage, and
what shall be its port Of destination,
then Jones comes forth TO speak the
decisive word. Then the seventy-nine
stand back in awe and listen for the
edict of the Nevada navigator.
So it was in 1890, and so it Is again
in 1897. Jones is a true-blue Repub-
lican, all wool and not cotton warp and
shoddy filling. He believes in protec-
ton Of the yard-wide kind. He is as
logical in his faith as Democratic free
traders are in theirs. No halfway
measures go with him. If protection
is good thing, it is good for every
thing and everybody. Ii it is good for
the man who works wool into cloth, it
is good for the nan who grows the wool.
If it is good for the man who makes
shoes, it is good for the man who grows
the leather they. are made from. II it
is good for the iron ore and soft coal
miners, it is good for the miner of
silver. Jones, from his stand, is per-
fectly right. We admire a man who
goes the full length Of his logic. If he
can't do it, his premise is bad. So
Jones, when-to change the figure
the great pie is to be cut and divided,
comes out of his solitude where he pom
ders or great affairs, and tells the sew
enty-nine what they must do, and they
do it.
In 1890 Jones waited grimly while
the seventy-five we're cutting the pie
for the wool men, the glass and iron
and tin plate and pottery and cotton
men, and all the other pie-hungry
crowd, but leaving no piece for the sill
yer men Of Jones' domain. When the
pie was cut and the division was about
to begin, Jones appeared. There shall
be nc pie distributed, gentlemen, he
said, unless my fellows get their share.
There was CONSERVATION and protest.
but Jones was inlcxible. He is great
in his tenacity. Silver. must have its
share, said Jones, or there will be
share for no And Jones got 1t.
Now, seven years later, another pie IL
to be cut. The seventy-nine are again
discussing division. They had almost
decided, but, remembering 1890, they
hesitated, for Jones had not spoken.
he remained in his cabin wrapped In
the impeDetrabie gloom Of his medita-
tions. What the seventy-nine had
done no man knew, for they had no
mind to disclose it and then be morti-
fed by the fiat of Jones.
And Jones has spoken. From his
point of view Jones is right. And be-
ing right, he wins out. The country
now knows what IL win get, for Jones
has spoken. Prosperity need no longer
wait outeide the gates. Jones invites
her inst Paul Globe.

THE BENCH CANAL.
Important Stockholders Meeting
Set For February Fifteenth.

y
Greater interest is being taken in the
approaching meeting of stockholders
of the Bench canal than has ever before
been taken in a like affair since the
company was formed. Proxies are be-
ing sought industriously and thereby
hangs several tales.
II will be remembered that at the
last meeting of the city council Angus
T. Wright was delegated TO vote the
stock of the city at the stockholders
meeting to be held Feb. 10. 1t will be
further remembered that Councilman
Jones introduced a resolution which
carried providing for an estimate by
the city engineer of the amount of
money annually paid to the Bear River
Irrigation and ogden Water Works
company by the citizens of Ogden; a
further resolution passed providing
that the city attorney ascertain what
steps are necessary to increase the
bonded Indebtedness of the city for the
building or otherwise obtaining pos
session of a WaterWorkS system. The
idea is for the city to obtain a lease
from the Bench Canal company of its
water right and canal system and use
the franchise thus acquired as a basis
for acquiring a complete system of city
waterworkS. The owners of stock in
the present canal, it is thought, would
be willing 10 consent to the arrange
ment provided that they be given a
perpetual water right or, at least, one
which would last as long as the lease
to the city should exist. At any rate
the special meeting of the Bench canal
is called for Feb. 10 and the purpose
is stated somewhat vaguely to be the
consideration of an amendment to the
constitution of the corporation which
shall permit the directors of the con-
Germ to sell water.
The Bench Canal company is a sur
vivor of the early days, when water
was valuable for irrigating land that
is now city lots. The canal heads about
a mile up Ogden canyon and originally
distributed water over the dry bench,
but as the bench became valuable as
residence property and the waterworks
system was put in, the canal was not
needed there However, the bench
residents still retain their rights in
the canal and the corporation is still
in existence. The courts have ad-
judged that the company is entitled to
eight cubic feet of water per second,
which the city engineer estimates will
furnish a city of twice Ogden's size
with an ample supply. The scramble
for proxies TO be used at the special
meeting is said to result from a desire
of the Jarvis Conklin people to get a
controlling interest and prevent the
city from establishing it's system.
