Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 30.-Col. William J.

Nebraska Travelling Mems Bryan Club
Congressman Bailey. of Texas, was down
on the programme TO respond 10 "Democ-

graphed his regrets because OF illness in
his family. Representative y. ]. Weaver,
of Falls City, was POSTMASTER.
Colonel Bryan's speech was the last on
the programme, and was not reached until
after midnight. He responded 10 Amer
ieas Mission
Let not the crimes OF the East e'er crimson thy
name;
Be freedom. aad science. and virtue thy fame.
He insisted that the mission of this ma
tion was to liberate those in bondage, not
to put the shackles upon those who are
struggling to be free. The boast of the
American nation in times past was that
right makes might. and he urged that this
motto of the Republic be not abandoned
The colonial idea he believed to be wrong
in principle and unwise and he was sure
that practice would make it Improbable

with Dewey in his marvellous victory.

Protectfon,s False Claims.

(From the Galveston News)
Certain benefits claimed by protectionists are
shown TO have resulted from the Wilson tariff.
The growth OF the country, continuous changes
in supply and demand, time with its broad mar
gins for both Sides speculation. latitudinous
computation, all these afford the protectionist his
opportunity to fashion figures in the interest of
his iayorites. There similar chances for the
other side. But these methods of figuring gen.
orally have little to do with the facts. They
certainly do not touch the general truth that it
was for freedom of trade that ancestors first
declared war By plunging the tea into the sea.
and that freedom OF commerce is vital share OF
that liberty of the citizen and of that equality
of all men under the law which form the chief
cornerstone of our political edifce. Freedom of
trade is in line with the great principles of
liberty and equality upon which began and
upon which We must as a Republic rely for
health and life. There is to be found in the
results of Dingleyism nothing to destroy this
truth. Dingleyisn is not only a poor way to
promote trade. but it TO be an unsatis-
factory method of getting sufficient revenue.

senor Romero.

Senor Matias Romero, the news OF
whose death will be received with the
deepest regret both in diplomatic and So
cial circles, was one OF the famiiiar
figures in Washington society. His long
residence here, covering, first and last,
more than thirty years, made him seem
almost as much an American as Mex
ican,. yet no one could have been more
loyal than he was to the country OF his
birth. Personally he was singulariy
attractive Though not a tall man, he
was very digniied, even stately, in his
bearing, and his manner, while always
courteous, had certain reserve which
was most pleasing. One of his strongest
characteristics-and it was one which
was quite as marked in Madame Romero
was his consideration and thoughtful
ness toward all with whom he came in
con tact, even the humblest. He was in
yariably kind, without being effusive or
condescending; and while he did not
waste words in business matters, he was
never abrupt or brusque. In social al
fairs his influence was great, and always
for good, and the house of the Mexican
Minister was always centre of
genial and delightful hospitality.
Senior Romero's career, extending over
the most interesting period of the national
life of Mexico, is well known to all who
are at all familiar with the diplomatic
affairs of the last quarter of century.
He came to this city first as secretary
of the Mexican legation. While serving
his country at the Court Of st. James he
was absent for time, and at the begin
ming of the rule of President Diaz he
spent two years in the City OF Mexico re-
organizing the finances Of the government
He has long been known as one of the
richest and ablest of Mexican statesmen.
He was at all times quick to seize upon
any ideas of practical value to his coun-
trymen, and to promote their adoption IN
Mexico. He has been on intimate terms
with nearly all the great American lead
ers particularly with General Grant, his
friendship with that great American
being personal as we'll as official. He has
represented the Mexican government as
minister since 1882 and was recently ad-
vanced to the rank of ambassador. Fol
several years he has been known as the
Oldest resident among the diplomatic rep
resentatives in Washington. At various
times during his residence here he has
taken occasion to write magazine arti-
cles and books in regard to the develop
ment and conditions of Mexico. and these
have contributed much to American
knowledge Of the tropical republic TO the
south of us. His last work was his
tory of the diplomatic and commercial
relations between the United States ant
Mexico. While written, of course, from
a Mexican point of view. it is entirel!
impartial and judicial in treatment.

THEIR AUTHORITY DEFINED.
Gen. Lee Commands the Province
and Gen. Ludlow the City.

and Gen. Ludlow the City.
The status of Maj. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
as military governor and commander of
the forces in the province of Havana was
fixed yesterday by the War Department, in
an order dividing the province into two
military departments. Ever since Maj.
Gen. William Ludlow was appointed mill
tary governor of the city of Havana, the
authority of General Lee in the city has
been of an ambiguous character.
AS military governor of Havana prov
ince, General Lee was naturally supposed
to exercise jurisdiction IN the city. The
question of whether :General Ludlow
should make his reports 20 General Lee
and be Immediately subject to the orders
of the latter was disposed of, by an army
order issued by direction of the President
directing that General Ludlow should have
command of the troops stationed in the
city and should report direct to Maj. Gen.
John R. Brooke. the military governor of
the entire Island of Cuba.
Still this left considerable uncertainty
as to the authority OF General Lee in Ha-
vana city. He was the military governor
of the province within which the city is
situated, and there has been no separa-
tion of city from province in the defini-
tion of General Lees duties. One explain
alton of General Lees position was that
| he would command all the troops In the
| province except such as were detailed for
police duty in the city, and that his au-
thority there would be paramount to that
| of General Ludlow II it were necessary to
concentrate a large part of General Lees
| corps within the city limits.
The order issued yesterday definitely ad-
justs the dubious points in the case. 1t
| creates the military department of the
province of Havana, and the military de-
partment of the city OF Havana. These de-
partments are entirely separate and dis
| tinct. General Lee is assigned to the COM
mand of the province and General Ludlow
| to the command of the department of the
city of Havana. The authority of General
Ludlow will extend to the Notifications OF
| the city and General Lee will have COM
| mand of all the rest of the province.
The creation of a new military depart
ment by separating Havana city from The
province completes the division of Cuba
into districts for the administration of az
fairs. There are now seven military de-
partments in the island, each in command
of a governor, who is general officer OF
the army. The governor viii command
the troops in his department and have su-
preme military and civil jurisdiction there
! His acts will be subject TO the approval
of Mai. Gen. Brooke. who Will in turn be
responsible to the Secretary of War and
the President.
A governor for each of the seven de-
partments has been assigned and the last
of them, Brig. Gen. Joseph p. Sanger, lef;
Charleston for Matanzas. his headquarters
yesterday. General Sanger will remain in
command of the department of Matanzas
temporarily only. The seven military de-

Success in business is attained not from the
large profits which the non-advertser is compelled

One of the beauties of the extreme sub
division of jurisdictions in Cuba is that
no single governor will have territory
enough to warrant him in granting any
large concessions. These will be demanded
of the governor general, who, however, will
only be authorized to refer them to the
Secretary of War. He alone will keep the
bargain counter where addition, division
and silence are to reign supreme. Does
President Mckinley approve of the scheme?
