HOUSE.

The House was called to order at
noon by Speaker Reed.
After the reading of the Journal Mr..
Dockery, OF Missouri, had q resolution
read that was recently adopted by the
legislature OF his state to the effect that
me government should care for the
Confederate cemeteries.
The House went into committee OF
the whole to consider the sundry civil
appropriation bill.
Mr. Bartlett made a speech against
the 100000 for the Philippines. The
bill tor the Blair. Neb. public building
then came up, when Mr.. Greene was
attacked by Mr.. Mercer Of the sane
State, the latter being chairman OF the
public buildings committee. 4 couple
OF days ago Mr. Greene, during Mr..
MERGERS absence spoke against the
Blair bill, which was one of the two
that Mr.. Mercer managed to get
through.
Today Mr.. Mercer asserted that Mr..
Greene had been in favor CT the bill un-
ill be saw that one for building site at
Keaney Neb., could mol pass, whereup-
on ne had violently opposed it.
Mr.. Mercer said other unpleasant
things about Mr.. Green's actions and
secured the reading of an editorial from
an Kearney democratic paper that
charged Greene with buying his seat in
Congress.
Mr.. Greene replied to this by saying
he never had any money to buy quar-
ter of seat in Congress and charged
Mr.. Mercer with trying to smirch o
brother members character. The end
OF the whole wranele was that Mr.. Mer-
Ger withdrew the editorial.

ANTi-IMPERIALISM AN ISSUE.


New York, Oct. S.-t-nited States
Senator james X. Jones of Arkansas
chairman OF the democratic national
committee, and wife, We're passengers
on the Cunard line steamship Lucania
that reached New York city to-day.
They have been travelling in England,
Ireland. Scotland, Switzerland and
Wales for several months Senator
Jones said that he had been much
benefited by his lengthy European
travels, and felt ready to 90 into the
hard work necessary in getting ready
for the presidential campaign
Senator Jones when asked to give
his views on the political situation,
said that owing to his long absence
as to political conditions as he hoped
to be in a few weeks When asked
his opinion as to the probability OF
democratic nomination for the presi
dency going to William J Bryan, he
said: There is no doubt that Bryan
will receive the democratic nominal
tion forpresident," and added: Has
anybody any doubt on that question?
Bryan is sure TO win
On the attitude of Richard Croker
as to the nomination OF Bryan for
president. Senator Jones has little to
say, merely replying to direct ques
ton, Croker is already in line.
As to the possible outcome of the
national campaign of 1900, Senator
Jones said he believed that the free
silver idea would have a greater fol
lowing than in the campaign OF 1896.
He based his assertion on the fact
that the democratic party would re
.caive support in 1900 from new
source.
''In 1896" ne said, there were
many republicans and others who
believed that when the republican
party declared for bimetallism, the
declaration was made in all good
faith and sincerity. These same men
now doubt the sincerity ofthat plank
OF the republican platform.
EFFECTS OF \ LEAGUES PROSPERITY.
When asked what effect he thought
the apparent prosperity in the west
ern states would have on democratic
issues. Senator Jones said: Yes, |
know they say at Washington that
the country is in a highly prosperous
condition. and perhaps that is cor
rect from certain standpOints. But |
cannot see that is any great material
prosperity among the agricultural
and similar classes. 1t does not ap-
pear to have affected the farmer, nor
has it done much AZ vet forthe labor
| ing man in general. Cotton and
wheat have not made any advance
to speak OF in price. That argument
can be readily answered when the
time comes. Ofcourse ethere has been
an increase in the output OF gold and
that is bound to effect politics in
some degree, greater or less, But
that is only proof that what the
country needed was greater volume
of money in circulation
When asked what effect he thought
the alleged prosperity would have on
the voters in general he said in en-
| phatic tones:
1T VIII effect only those men who
are very narrow in theirpolitical and
social views. But voter it will in
fuence. but in reality it will be an
argument in favor OF our party,
He said that it was his opinion
that the opposing presidential candi-
dates in 1900 would be Bryan and
Mckinley. The democratic platform
he declared, would be launched in
