BRYAN RAISING A REGIMENT.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
 Governor Holcomb, of Nebraska, has is sued a commission empowering William J. Bryan, of Lincoln, to raise a volunteer regiment of 1000 men, to be rendered to the war department for actual service at the front, with the distinguished free silver champion as commander MT. Bryan already has begun the work of re- cruitng. and believes that he can have his regimental ranks filled within two weeks It is quite probable that short-sghted po- litical opponents will charge that this &C., tion upon the part of MT. Bryan has been undertaken solely for political effect and without patriotic motives; but facts are much more convincing than mere rumors and surmses, and the fact that he has undertaken to raise a full regiment of sturdy young Nebraskans and has offered to lead them personally if permitted to do so must be set down as distinctly to his credit.

thus erippling Savannah financially and forcing them to disband.
 The Truth of the Matter
 The truth is Atlanta hasn't been draw ing crows sufficient to pay expenses, hav- ing started in with losing team, a thing Atlantians would never patronize. While the Atlanta club people criticize the league management they also come In for cen sure in putting such a weak man as sheri- dan at the helm. when far better men were available. The game is dead here for some time to come.
 It Is generally believed that Passailaigue would have pulled the season through if he had been given charge at first. Powers has few friends here now.
 In concluding this short obituary of the Southern league, a few words as to Mama ger Frank s. Haller will be timely.
 Never in the history of local base ball has more earnest, capable and consci- entious player been at the head of the Bir- mingham club. Not even Jimmy Manning, who piloted the team pennantward in 1892, deserves as much credit for his work as does Haller. Both on and off the diamond he has always shown himself to be per- feet gentleman, and together with his fair and impartial management, this has made him almost idolized by his men.
 His short stay in the Southern league has been a credit both to himself and the league, and when the Magic City again enters the base ball arena, 1t is needless to say that Frank Haler will again be at it's head. if he can possibly be secured by the club directors.
 But Haller's splendid record is no doubt partly due to the men who were under him. Each and every one of them on all occasions put forth their best efforts to win a game, and their manager had no trouble whatever in controlling them.

The Oakley Derby

Cincinnati, May 2O-The Oakley derby, valued at $10,000, will be decided tomorrow at the opening day of the races of the Cincinnati Jockey club. Only four starters are named to go to the post in the big event, but the race promises to be hotly contested one. The distance is mile and quarter, and the starters will be as fol- lows: Plaudit, 127 W. Martin) Lieber Karl, 125 CT. BurnsD Bannockburn, IF (Morrison) John Bright, IF GA. Clayton.)
 Bookmakers figure Plaudt hot favorite at to 1, with 3 to 1 Lieber Karl and Ban- nockburn, and 10 to 1 John Bright All of the derby candidates have been showing up well in their trials and although Plaud- 1t is considered the best of the lot, there Is such speculation among the horsemen as to Bannockburn's chcances. The latter was one of the greatest two-year-olds in America last year. and has not started in any of the big stakes this spri.Is,, which makes him look like a rpyinidable opponent against Planait and Lieber Karl. John Flight was also very promising 2-year-old and has not started in his Swear -old form.
 The track tonight is in perfect condition, the indications are that will rain before morning. The meeting will last fifteen days.

My Dear SenatOr:- Now comes
our Ormsby county people worrying
over the Indian School, or the Stewart

Commissioner has happily named it. You
remember that Welton, the Indian
\ gent, estimated the cash value Of the
tN % dwelling houses, barns, stone root
house, etc, at about $1,000 and sent his
report to the Commissioner to that effect
at Washington. This money ought now
to be paid into the county and | see no
reason why the Government shOIld not
refund the whole of the money put up by
the county, for that property, amounting
to $1,000, for the property is a most de
sirable one III every respect and as cheap
as dirt even at $500.
Won't you please take immediate steps
in regard to these matters.
Yours very truly,

The Oyster Question.
PeninsuIa EnterprIse.l


That there will be some legislation on
the oyster question at the present session
Of the Legislature seems TO be fore
gone conclusion, but just what It's char
acter will be no one can tell. Every
member, almost, OF that body, beyond
Ildewater, seems 10 have some pet
scheme for getting "the millions OF doll
lars out Of the oyster-beds OF the state
they profess TO believe there is ia them,
but as yet no agreement has been reach
ed by them as 20 the WAY OF doing o.
Bllls looking 10 that object are not
wanting, but the provisions OF most OF
them are so visionary that IL Is hard %
fathom the depths Of the knowledge OF
the patrons OF the various bills concern
ing oysters. They, perhaps. don't know
what they mean themselves, and We
would suggest 90 them that their knowi-
edge would be improved In a way 10 en-
able them TO legislate moro sensiby on
the oyster question than is proposed by
them II they VIII take the pains TO in-
quire as TO the hard life the oystcrmeo
often lead. and the meagre support they
find oftentimes In the business. Taking,
as the most OF the legislators 60. tho
numbers Of acres in our Oyster-beds and
multiplying them by so many dollars
and cents per acre. will give a very pretty
picture OF the wealth that Is IN them
but as evanescent as the fieeting shadows
are. Theories on the question amount
TO nothing. and Il is 10 be hoped that
there Is enough Of plain. practical sense
among our legislators 20 make them take
a common-sense view OF the question.
