A dispatch from Valley View,
XIV, Jan. 10Th says: General Clay z
young wife, Dora, returned to the
home of her sister, Mrs. Kelly, late
last night from whitehall. She
walked mile through the mud TO-
day to tho Valley View post Office,
where she met Willie Bryant. They
walked away together, and to close
observers appeared to be in love
With each other. Ia fact, Nillie'a
attentions to Mrs. Clay have been
Fso marked that Leroy Kelly, hel
brother-in-law, has ordered him to
stay away from bis place. Willie
won't there night before last to see
Dora, when Kelly gave him this or.
der. Ills believed thatWulie and
Dora are meeting ut other places
This peculiar affair has reached =
critical stage. Thss best informed
citizens think that Dora's brother,
will either kill Willie Bryant or thai
he will elope with her. The only
reason why the elopement is I'M
likely is that Willie is absolutely
without money.

WARRINGTON, Jan.31.-The house
to-day buried the Teller resolution,
declaring tho bonds of the United
States payable in silver, under an
adverse majority of 50 votes. The
Republicans were solidly arrayed
opposition, with two exceptions, in
Mr.. Linney, Of North Carolina, who
voted with the Democrats and Pop
ulists, and Mr.. White, Of North
Carolina, the only colored member
of the house, who answered ''pres-
emit" when his name was called.
The desertions FROM the Democratic
side we're Mr.. McAleer, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Mr.. Elliott, of South
Carolina. Both voted with the Re-
publicans against the proposition.
Speaker Reed, although it is not
customary for him 10 vote, had his
name called and, amid the cheers
of his followers, went on record In
opposition to the resolution.
The vote was reached after five
hours of debate under = special
order adopted at the opening session
to-day. The limited time allowed
for debate and the pressure Of mem
bers for an opportunity to be heard,
was so great that the leaders on
both sides were compelled to farm
out the time by minutes. This de-
tracted much from the continuity
of the discussion, but it in some
measure intensified the interest in
the galleries, which were crowded
all day, and the combatants on the
floor were cheered by their respect.
i've sympathizsrs. Many of the
senators from tho other end of the
capitol were also present to listen
to the arguments. The majority,
under the leadership of Mr.. Dingley,
who made . carefully prepared
speech, sounding the key note of
the opposition, assumed the posi-
ton that the last clause of tho res
olution was in reality q disguised
declaration for tho free coinage Of
silver, while the assaulting Demo-
Gratis, under tho direction of, Mr..
Bailey. maintained that the defeat
of the resolution was another step
in the direction of the establishment
of the gold standard, to which they
alleged both the President and Sec
rotary Gage had irrevocably COM
mitted the Republican party. The
debate was at times fast and heated,
but there was no sensational Incl
dents beyond the kissing of Mr..
Rhea, of Kentucky, when he said,
that 40 the author of. the "crime Of
49," the hottest place in hades
would be reserved for the present
secretary of. State. The vote on
the resolution was: Ayes, 1872 ;

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
COL. BRYAN RESIGNS.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
We confidently expect that William j.
Bryan's resignation of the Colonelcy of
the Third Nebraska regiment will be
utilized as a fresh pretext for covering
that much-abused gentleman with re-
proach and ridicue. The monometalist
organs have never forgiven him the an
guish and alarm he inflicted on them in
1896, and, even now, the bare mention
of his name is enough to throw them
into an insensatc frenzy. When he vol
untcered at the call of his country, he
was held up to odum and execration
as a political jobber using n national
emergency to further his personal aspira
tons. Now that he resigns, when the
country no longer needs him, he will be
made the victim of new forms of malice
and mendacity.
The truth in Mr.. Bryans case is, in
our opinion at least, that he has acted
in good faith and with perfectly unset
fish motives from the beginn ng. He re-
sponded TO the Presidents summons in
order to hasten the furnishing of Ne
braska's quota. He took the ground that
if the nation needed soldiers he owed IT.
to himself and to the flag 70 set the CN-
ample of prompt and earnest paiT!ot-
ism. He was young, vigorous, enthu-
siastic The was the most prominent and
influential of Democrats;he went for his
own satisfaction and for the encourage
ment of others Surely no serious and
honest man will claim that Mr.. Bryan
had anything TO gain for himself by be-
coming colonel of q volunteer regiment.
He was not professional soldier. He
had no military aspirations. There was
no army possibility that could by any
means attract him. Why should any one
ascribe to a man Who two years ago,
got 6.500,000 votes for the Presidency
the mean and shabby motives Of dr. or
binary officc-seeker?
Now Mr.. Bryan has resigned, and 1t
seems to rs that his action is entirely
consistent with our theory of the impulse
upon which he originally enlisted. I'm
auestionably a man who, without mill
tary ambitions or proclivit es, enters the
service through sense of patriotic duty,
is justified in withdrawing when the
emergency which prompted him ORIGINAL
ly has been removed by circumstances.
The signing Of the peace protocol at
Paris does away with the last remaining
possibility of war, so far, at least, as
Spain is concerned. Mr.. Bryan is not
n soldier, does not want to adopt the
military profession, cares less than moth
ing for gold braid and soldier straps
what conceivable impropriery can there
be in his resigniug on the consummat.on
of peace and at the cessation of all
legitimate demands upon his unselhsh
sacrifice?
We do not expect thar reason anu
common sense, to say nothing of de-
cency and justice. will seal the mouths
of Mr.. Bryan's traducers. As we have
predicted. the work of detraction and
abuse will speed upon its merry way,
without regard to fact or reason. But
honest men. fair-m:nded men, and decent
men will think Of all these things. and
the ranks of Mr.. Bryan's accusers will
be recruited chiefly from those quarters
into which his candidacy, two years ago,
Bought such terror and hatred and con-

months she was under constant care or
the best physician we had in our town.
But his medicine seemed pOwerless to
control the bowel trouble which had be-
come chronic dysentery. She also suf-
fered from some aggravated blood trou-
bic, which caused large sores and risings
to break ont on her body. Oft time
there would be as many as 20 or %.
We had several doctors to treat her al
different times, but nothing reached heI
case. They would lance these risings,
but as soon as one was cured another
broke out. and the doctors gave me no
hone of her cure. After she had led
a life Of agony and suffering for six
months. | was inspired to try Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy. There was a change
for the better in twenty-four hours, it
seemed to check the bowels at once. and
after using a few bottles my child was

BRYAN TO LEAD AGAIN.
New York Journal.

New York Journal.
In day or two Colonel William Jen-
nings Bryan will resign his commission
in the volunteer army of the United
States. Those who know him will
understand that it is not in order to
seek life of inactivity that Colonel
Bryan retires. 1t is probable rather
that he finds the routine duties OF a
soldier when no war exists too trivial
for his active spirit, and turns eagerly
to those opportunities for serving his
country in civil life which the existing
political situation offers him.
For his determination to leave the
army Colonel Bryan is to be heartily
applauded. His hold upon the minds
and the hearts of the people was won in
the activities OF craftsmanship, and to-
day there is loud demand for his return
to the political field. The recognized
leader of the Democratic party in the
nation, he has been estopped from active
leadership by his subsection to military
discipline. There can be no just criti-
cism upon his act in volunteering, for 1t
was done when the President was call
ing for men, and the place for a patriot
was in the ranks of the defenders Of the
country.
The power of the administration which
for months was employed to keep nim
in a military service offering no nope Of
distinction was at the same time used
TO break down the political editice which
he had with inspiring enthusiasm and
political skill builded. The spectacle
was presented of the leader of one
great party faithfully and silently scry-
ing his country in the camp. while his
commandcr-in-chief and chief political
rival stumped the country in partisan
contest.
Colonel Bryan has done his duty AMI
the Democratic party has offered its
sacrifice with his. \ new duty now con
fronts him. A task in which there will
be no mere camp life awaits him.
Forces as menacing to the welfare Of
the nation as ever were the Sraniards
are installed at Washington. The trusts
and the spectators are in the saddle.
Upon the Democratic party rests the
duty of repelling the shock Of their as
saults. 1t is well that Colonel Bryan
has determined to resign, and the more
promptly he gives his resignation effect
the better.
In the military field the Republican
politicians were able to place Colonel
BRYAN where they chose, circumscribe
his activities and silence his voice. In
the field of politics he will choose his
own position, and it viii be the Demo
crate position.
In the name Of Democracy the Jour
nal welcomes Colonel Bryan's return to
his true field.
