Lincoln, Neb., March 23.--Hon.
w. j. Bryan will give one half of the
royalties received from the sale of
his book, THE First Battle" to the
cause Of binetallism, and has ap
pointed committee whose duty
will be to properly expend the funds
reserved for that purpose. The

lowing persons: Senator Jas. K.
Jones, of Arkansas; Senator Henry
M. Teller, of Colorado; Senator vii
liam V. Allen, of Nebraska, and Hon.
a. j. Warner. president of the Ma
tional Bimetallic Union.
In answer to a communication
from his publishers, w. b. Conkey
CO mpany, Chicago, stating that
$4,000 was due him as a royalty on
the first months sales, Mr.. Bryan al
once instructed them to toward -,
500 to Mr.. Jones, $1,000 to MIR
Warner. 81, 500 to MIR. Allen, and
$500 to Mr.. Teller, aud certified
checks for these amounts were sent
today.
MIR. Jones is to spend his portion
in promoting the cause of bimetal
lism through the Democratic party
MIR. Warner is to dispense the none,
received by him through the chan
nels afforded by the National Bimet
allie Union; Mr.. Teller will expend
his portion for the bimetallic cause
through the silver Republicans, and
MIR. Allen will employ his portion
In advancing the interest of binet
allism through the Populist party.

the amount to be expended on the
fact that he received $500, 900 Dem
ocratic votes, 100000 populisi
votes, 100000 Republican votes, rec
ognizing at the same time the work
done by the National Bimetallic I'm.
ion as a nonpartisan organization.

OF sentiment in the South in favor

idle assertion they point TO the

and say they did not make q mi
nOrity report because they comld
not agree. Now such talk is all
buncOmbe and the parties making
such statements know they are
not true. The reason the Demo
Gratis did not make minority re.
port on the Dingiey bill was be
caEse they did not have time, as
the bill was drawn UP during the
last session Of the 18th Congress
and reported TO the Jjth Congress
on the first day of the session, re-
ferred To the Committee ON WAYS
and Means, and then reported
back to the House without giving
the Democratic minority chance
to more than look at the bill. Al
ter being reported back TO the
House debate was limited to few
days and when it came up finally
for passage only about II out Of
its % pages had been discussed
and among the schedules tha
were not reached were the suga
and wool schedules. The Demo
Gratis did the best they could t,
have the bill somewhat modified
but were unable to accomplisl
anything because of the over

have little over a month to de-

more important has not been pre-
sented in the present generation
in this State. 1t means a reduc.
ton OF taxation aud a more eco.
nOmical government, if carried,
than is possible, under existing
conditions, and we have 10 doubt,
fhst when you remember who
framed the Underwood constitu.
ton, you will not hesitate to cast
your vote in favor of calling the
convention. There is no use for
newspapers and politicians TO deny
1t, for the fact still remains that
we need new constitution, and
we cannot adopt one any too soon,
~ taxes are going up and prices
OF all our products are going down

vote TO call constitutional conven.

AFTER THE ARMADA.

The Combination of Trade and Private
War Under Elizabeth.
The defeat of the Armada inspired
England with energy and hope. Our
people, says BlackwoodS Magazine, be-
came busy traders. Flemish traders
had been ruined by war, Flemish refu-
gees had flocked into England. and
Antwerp, the great port for new world
commerce, had been sacked and taken.
England succeeded to the trade of which
the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond
the ocean lay a vast world Of wealth.
of which Spain, united with Portugal,
claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud-
ing English commerce from the larger
half of the planet. Systematic VIC
lence-that is, the combination OF trade
with private war-was the only mode
in which this monopoly could be at
tackled.
Elizabeth connived at this covert mar
thine war both before and after the
Armada, and thestruggles between Eng
lish traders and Spanish monopolists
were far too numerous and important
to admit Of peace between the two gov
ernments. 1t was this spirit of CON-
mercial adventure, whether it be called
piracy or heroic attempt to rescue the
new world from the inquisition and
give it back to the free use of the human
race, which was the first step in the de-
velopment of three colossal growths--
British trade, British empire, the Brit
ish navy.

Eagles are sometimes Of considerable
service to O hunter, and this is es-
pecially true of the eagles Of the Po'

an American Field writer, eagles on a
calm day often give the hunters shots
which they would not otherwise get.
The eagle goes flying up and down
the stream, and on seeing Hook OF
ducks goes toward them. hoping to get
a cripple, being unable to capture ducks
as the peregrine falcon does. When the
ducks see the eagle, coming they jump
into the air and go looking for safer
locality, and this is where the gunner
comes in. The gunner's place of con-
cealment in blind is not nearly SO saie
as the eagles vicinity, but the ducks
think it is safer till the shot goes
through their feathers.
Three or four eagles will keep all the
ducks ON the move, and the gunners ge'

0ruesome Relic of Indian Warfare Nov
In the National Museum
A CHASTITY relic OF Indian warfare was
recently sent to one of the professors
at the national museum in Washington,
says the New York World. 1t is the
skull of little Poplar" the great
fighter and warrior, at one time the
sub-chief of the Cree nation. The Crees
had their homes and lands in Canada,
and when the Riel rebellion broke out
some years ago "Littlc Poplar" took ad-
vantage of the opportunity it afforded
to make war on his own account.
He attacked the white settlers, burned
their homes, carried off their women
and instituted reign Of terror in the
region Of his operations. Hundreds Of
persons became the victims of his blood
thirsty cruelty. lie destroyed their
herds, laid their homes in smoking
ruins and put women and little children
to the torture. There was, in fact, no
form of deviltry too horrible for this
Indian to pcrpetrate.
When the Eiel rebellion was crushed
Little Poplar" crossed to the American
side. So great was the horror he had
excited that n reward Of $4,000 was Of
fered for his apprehension, dead or
alive. In 1886 he was murdered near
Fort Assiniboine, Mont, and the half
breed who killed him received the re-
ward. One Of the soldiers of the fort
watched for years the lonely grave In
which "Little Poplar" had been buried.
and at last, when he felt certain that all
the flesh had been worn off the bones.
he dug up the skull and kept it as a
relic. 1t has just. found resting place
on one of the shelves Of the national
YnnSn11u1-
