BRYAN AND THE SENATE.
Why the Nebraska Statesman VIII
Defer Senatorial Aspirations.
ST Pau1 Piopeer Press


1t is said that w. j. Bryan can go to the
United States senate If he chooses, either as
the successor of Senator Hayward-now sup
posed to be dying from paralysis-or as the
successor of Senator Thurston, whose term
| expires March 4, 1901 1t is to be eagerly
hoped that he will jump into the earlier of
the two prospective vacancies.
The senate is a famous place for the pune
turing Of windbags and the demonstration
of mans real intellectual makeup. Sub
jocted to the tests he would there be called
upon to endure. the meretricious character
of the Nebraska orators mental furnishings
would be so quickly made manifest that
after single term his influence would be
practically gone. 1t is doubtless Mr..
Bryan's knowledge of bis own weakness in
hand hand debate that is accountable for
his notable preference of occasions where he
Is to be the only speaker and his persistent
avoidance Of any such meetings with an
able antagonist on the stump, as, for in
stance, were seen in the Lincoln Douglas
debate.
When in the house of representatives Mr.
Bryan cut no figure whatever as debater
the reputation he gained there being merely
that Of a fiamboyant orator and visionary
schcmer for the creation of wealth by the
unlimited issues of irredeemable paper
money. Put him in the senate, where his
oratorica bubbles would be punctured
as fast as blown and where every misleading
statement would be challenged and
exposed by some such well-informed
and ready statesman as Davis. or
Lodge, or Lindsay, or Proctor, or
Allison, or Frye, or dozen others. and
where, In the mere matter of oratory he
would be ovenhadowed by Beveridge as the
Alaskan foothills are overshadowed by

who cast their ballots for him in 1896 would
be shown his real caiber with clearness
hitherto unattainabe.
hut unfortunately Mr. Bryan-noncha-
lantly taking eognlzance of the fact that no-'
body but himself need be consulted in the
matter-is reported as saying that he does
not care TO enter the senate until he shall
have run again for president; so, IL this re-
port is correct, Mr.. Allen viii probably be
appointed to FIJI out Mr.. Hayward's unex-
pired term and Bryan will use the senate
only as a hospital after his defeat in the

Chicago Times-Herald: BY the death oi
Vice President Hobart the country has lost
an exceedingly able public official. the presi-
dent one Of his most highly valued advisers
and an intimate friend, the republican party
wise and successful leader. Few men have
been SO generally respected, few politicians
have escaped so completely the assaults and
detraction that seem to be an almost inevita-
Bile incident Of political activity.
ST. Louis Republics AS representative
American the late vice president of the
United States was appropriately typical in
blood, training and character. He came of
good New England stock. He was we'll
bred and well educated. He was man OF
clean mind and clean living. He loved his
family and his home life. He was keen
wittcd and hard-working man of business.
He was faithful party man. All these
things 60 Ito the making of the best type
of American.
Chicago Record: His death at an age
when he should have been able to look for
ward to years of usefulness adds another
to the long list of Americans who have
been cut down by incessant activity under
nervous tension. Like most American men
of affairs who have large business enter
prises In hand, he lived under high pressure,
with the inevitable consequence that a nat
urally strong constitution broke down and a
life that might have been devoted for long
time to useful labor was cut off in its prime.
Indianapolis Journal: Vice President Ho-
bart will be distinctly missed and sincerely
mourned by members OF the body over which
he has presided with much dignity and to
its entire satisfaction. Coming to Washing
ton new to national politics, though not to
the politics of his own state, he soon i'm
pressed himself on public and social life at
the capital as man of ability, force and
culture. Those who knew him felt that If
vacancy occurred in the Office CT president
while Vice President Hobart lived, the Office
would fall into worthy and able hands. His
relation to President Mckinley was net
merely one of political successorship, but of
personal nearness and warm friendship-a
fact that confirms the popular impression
of his strong and attractive character and
the purity of his public and private life.

That most" should be discounted At
this moment 1t is not convenient to go over
every writer and leader OF thought Bryant's
name indicates Celtic origin; Poe was Of
Irish ancestry, and so was Perclval; Irving
was Scotch (his father was a native OF Scot
land); Pauding was OF Dutch ancestry, and
so was Walt Whitman on the mothers side,
whence he got his genius. These for men OF
letters; In the domain of essential thought
the majority would be found to have Celtic
blood AS for the presidents, Thomas JEFF
ferson, Andrew Jackson James Buchanan,
Ulysses s. Grant Chester A. Arthur and
William Mckinley all represent a straight
forward Irish or Scottish origin. Van
Buren was Dutch. Such generalizations are
dangerous and If we should cite the writer's
and public Eaen of today it is doubtful
whether the so-called Anglo Saxon element
would rise above the Celtic. 1t will be OBJ
served that considerable number OF presi-
dents have been elected 'outside the Saxon

JUSTICE FOR THE INDIAN.
Systematic SpoiIatiOn by Spectators
and Adventures.

/
After reading the annual report of Com
missioner of Indian Affairs Jones the wonder
| is that there have not been more Indian out
| breaks as a result of the manner in which
some of these wards of the nation are
| treated.
The report of Commissioner Jones is one
quite different from the familiar annual
emanations from that bureau. 1t deals
frankly with it's subjects and points out at
least few of the wrongs perpetrated upon
the Indians under the thin veil Of improving
their condition, particularly in the case OF
the Five Civilized Tribes. One extract from
the report emphasizes more clearly than
would columns in the Congressional Record
one Of the many reasons why the Indians
OF the Indian territory and elsewhere have
horror of commissions. Commissioner
Jones says
"In 1889 the Chippewas were with diff
Guilty induced to cede to the United States
large tracts Of valuable pine lands on the
representation that the sale of the pine
would bring them in a fund of several mil
lion dollars.
"As Is always the case, many Indians
were utterly opposed to the negotiations.
commission was appointed to make al
lotments on ceded and reservation lands
and to secure removals to White Earth
of those who were willing to go there
Estimators were appointed to appraise the
Chippewa pine. The expense of both Is
charged to the fund of the Indians. The
expense of the commission up to date has
been not less than 100000, most of 1t In
salaries.
"The work of the estimators proved
worthless and a second set of estimators
was appointed, with no better results, and
a third set of men was assigned to the work.
Up to date about $780, coo has been charged
to the Indians for estimating. Meantime
large tracts of pine, which had been esti-
mated at from one-fourth to one-half their
value, were sold and that loss fell upon
the Indians"
The case above cited, being a particularly
fragrant piece OF injustice, doubtless forced
itself into prominence before Commissioner
Jones. 1t is but one Of score, however,
and there would be hundreds more were Il
not for the vigilance OF the Indian Rights
association the national society whose head
quarters are in this city. whose admirable
work in the past has frequently secured
justice for the red man.
The government does not profit by this
systematic violation OF the principles of
right. A horde Of spectators, most of them
adventurers with everything TO gain and
nothing TO lose. who are always to be found
hanging around the outskirts OF an Indian
reservation. create conditions which the
government endeayors TO rectify usually
slow process and costly, owing to the pecu-
liarties of Indian character and custom.
But in the investigation and rectihcation the
Indian, as Commissioner Jones points out,
is invariably the loser.

mKtNLeY .lND THE CURRENCY.

Senator Elkns is authority for the
statement that President Mckinley will
give prominence in his annual message
to recommendation for q revision of
the currency along the lines favored by
gold standard republicans. The West
Virginia senator stated that he was
satisfied from what he had learned that
the president will dwell very strongly
on the currency question. There Is a
disposition on the part of the admins
tration, said Mr.. Elkins. to make the
currency question so plain with refer
encc to the gold basis that there will
be no room for Interpretations" or
'inferences" and he added that there Is
n feeling among leading republicans
that the currency question should be
taken up and disposed of at the earliest
opportunity.
The country expects President Nc.
Knley to give this subject such con.
sideration in his message as it's COM
manding Importance calls for and the
friends of sound money hope that the
influence of the administration will be
exerted in behalf of legislation that
will remove all doubt or question in re-
gard to the gold standard 1t is the
duty of the president to speak plainly
and without qualification on this ques-
tion and there Is every reason to ex-
pect that he will do so. The Ohio re-
publican platform declared for the gold
standard and in favor of legislation for
maintaining that standard. Mr., Nc
Kinley, it is not to be doubted ap-
proved this declaration and it is safe
to predict that his message will show
him to be in full accord with the re-
publicans Of his state and with very
large majority of the party in the ma.
