II bc lOH humanity OF conquest Wherever
the people of the United States place their
flag in the hands of such men as William
Jennings Bryan that flag will unfurl its
folds, and with such men to command the
hosts of the American people, we can, and
by the eternal we do, defy the world. La
dies and gentlemen and fellow citizens, it
is the honor of my life to present to you
a distinguished son of Nebraska, a beloved
apostle of the democracy of this country,
the Hon. William Jennings Bryan"
Mr. BRYAN Speaks
As Colonel Bryan arose the applause was
tremendous. Members clapped their hands.
stamped their feet and yelled at the top OF
their voice. After waiting several moments
Colonel Bryan raised his hand for silence.
He then spoke as follows.
Mr.. Speaker, Mr.. President, Senators,
Representatives and Fellow-Citizens:
II come today rather to tell you why
cannot meet your expectations than with
any hope of fulfilling them. was sur
prised when l passed through Birmingham
to find that my presence there was known,
and still more surprised here to find that
you had resolved to pay me this distin-
guished compliment. feel that ought to
apologize to you for appearing here before
you, soldier with uniform, but l did not
have any other in my valise. l would
rather be here civilian than a soldier, be-
cause, to me, the civilian is above the mill
tary world, and if l were going to appear
as a soldier l would rather appear in some
other state than in Alabama, because there
Is too much competition in Alabama. If l
wanted to pose as military hero, l would
first desire to go where the denizens of war
were unknown, because l have no military
achievements, as l mentioned to you, and,
therefore, know that whatever courtesies
you nave shown me you desired to snow
me as citizen and not as a soldier.
Compliments to Alabamians
But If were going to pose as military
hero, this state would be the last to which
] would come, because you were born on
military duty Because a war begun for
humanity was war for Alabamians. Be
cause we cannot have a battle on land
without giving additional fame to General
wheeler and because we cannot have any
aehievements on the sea without giving
distinction to Hobson. Not only am L not
military hero, but l confess that l have
mad very little acquaintance even with mill
tary life, and must protest to you, in con-
hdence, that the fort is more home-like to
me than dress-parade, and 1t would be more
pleasing to feel, and to feel with reason,
that you have the respect of your fellow
men than to exercise command over them,

therefore, my friends, appearing to you as

Constitutional Amendments

An important feature of the
coming November election is
found in the amendments to the
constitution, which are to be
voted for at that time. The first
OF these is one which the Times
has long advocated that of ac-
crpting guaranty or surety COM
panleS, foreign or domestic, as
surety on official bonds. BY this
system the state and county
could feel perfectly sure that the
bonds given by their officials were
valid and cOllectible, which, un-
fortunately, has not been the case
in many instances heretofore.
The second Is an amendment au-
thorizlng the Legislature to clothe
the railroad commission with jul
dicial power in all matters to be
passed upon it. THIS, too, is an
eminently proper measure, for
since we have the railroad COM
mission, 1T should be placed in n
position to make its work effect
i've. The third provides that any
imprached official shall be dis
qualified from holding Office until
he Is acquitted, and the appoint
m"nt by the governor of Il Sic
cessor ad Intern. Each and all
OF these amendments should re-
cclve the hearty support of the
electors at the November cleo
ton. -Sumterville Times.

charming tone; hatred by sharp,
suIlrn and severe one; joy, with d
full, flowing and brisk tone; and
grief with a dull, heavy and Sor-
rowful one, occasionally heaving
a sigh from the bosom. Anger
is expressed by a sharp, impetu-
Gus, and violent tone, often TAX

frequently smothered by the
strength of the passion. In lofty
