THE DOLLAR DINNER.

w. j. Hampton in New York Sun.
Oh, Dinner of the Daddies,
About your board we see
The nodes grace
OF many a face
OF sweet simplicity.
oh, Dinner of the Daddies,
How much your charms enhance
The modest means
OF men in jeans
And other kinds of pants.
Oh, Dinner of the Daddies,
Your appetizing smell
OF pork and beans
And jOwl and greens
Is more than verse can tell.
oh, Dinner of the Daddies.
Your tOothSOme c~Ornbread hunks
Applaud the pan
OF every man
To save thereby nin pltVks.
oh, Dinner of the Daddies.
Your spirit breathes a prayer
And henison
For every one
Who happens to be there.
oh. Dinner of the Daddies.
Although you give no pie,
Your eaters pray
TO find a way
To get 1t by and by.
oh. Dinner of the Daddies,
one dollar does not buy
so much the feed
To fill a need,
AS what you typify.

and cancelled a considerable sum has
been applied to partial payments ON en-
listing mortgages. The favoritc answer
of the calamity crowd to such figures
has been that the mortgages satisfied
represented in large part foreclosures.
Figures from the same report disclose
the fallacy Of this argument. The total
number of real estate mortgages AN
cClcd is given as 1892. while the total
number of foreclosures in the state dur

onc4tcnth of the number of mortgages

4 SUGGESTION FOR COMMERCIAL CLrB.

BUTTE, Neb., April Ito the Editor
of The Bee: l note in a recent editorial
that you urge the Commercial club TO
bring the bankers to time" on the ques-
ton of keeping Omaha's clearings up.
Would It not be well for the Commercial
club to interview the wholesalers of Omaha
on the same matter? Nearly all of their
collection sheets request New York or Chi
cago exchange. This reduces Omaha clear
ings and Compels country bankers to carry
larger balances in eastern cities.
SAM C.. SAMPLE,
President Farmers and Merchants Bank.
Here is a pointer for the Omaha Com
mercial club. There "a be no question
that every business nan in Omaha and
every man interested in Omaha's
growth is vitality concerned in the rela-
tive rank of omaha among the clearing
house cities of the country. The disa-
grecment among members of the local
clearing house should not be allowed to
work to Omaha's injury. If he CONNER
cial club will act upon the suggestions
embodledin this letter and induce its own
members to conduct their financial opcr-
atoms through local banks Omaha will
at no distant day be by the side of Kan
sas City in the clearing house reports.

PLAYING CrITLEFIsH As USUAL.

BLA1INb lSh AZ USUAL.
With its customary cuttlefish tactics
the World-Herald is shedding a great
deal of dark fluid in an effort to befog
the main issue raised by the New Iork
Verdict in its arraignment of Bryan's
autocratic course in dealing with the
democrats who decline to subscribe to
every ism in the Chicago platform. In
stead of discussing the points raised by
the Verdict, the silverite organ tries to
make believe that the batteries of the
Verdict were directed at itself by rea-
son of a blunder of a newspaper clip
ping bureau which credited to the
World-Herald an editorial that appeared
in The Bee.
AS Il matter of fact the editorial in
question simply served as a text for
reading the riot act to Bryan n adj
m%onishing him that his course, if per-
sisted in, will wreck the democratic
party and insure the reelection of Nc
Kinley. Coming as it does from a paper
that processes to speak authOritativcly
for the New York democracy, the Verdict
article is significant as well as suggest
i've of the irrepressible conflict raging
inside of the democratic ranks.
What inspired this public expression
of pent-up feeling that commanded
Bryan to tone down his speeches and
letters is quite immaterial. Suffice it
to say this bold and outspOken criticism
of the presidential aspirant voices the
sentiment of a large faction of his party
that will have to be reckoned with both
in the preliminary V for re-nomi-
nation and, in ease of his selection, in
the next national campaign. That the
verdict in 1900 may turn upon the pivot
of concession and Cancellation demanded
by the editor of the New York Verdict
must be apparent to all familiar with
existing political conditions. Making
faces at The Bee and making light of
the Verdict's arraignment of their pa
tron saint may amuse the groundlings
that swallow the WOrld-Herald'S fakes,
but intelligent men of all parties will
find abundant food for reflection in the
Verdict's curtain lecture to Bryan.

Inspiration Derived from CJnms.

The company of unterrified democrats who
recently sat down to a spread in New York
consisting mainly of clam chowder at 10
cents per plate insist that theirs was the
only genuine, bottle jefferson
banquet in the lot. Judging from the char
acter of the speeches, there is a moral GER
tainty that the inspiration to be derived
from clans properly cooked is not to be
despised. If a test of ones democracy is to
be regulated by the cost of a dinner there
is some ground forth ribald suggestion that
the $1O-a-plate fellows were clans them

The governor of Missouri has signed
an |anti-compact bill to stop rate-making
combinations by fire insurance com
panies, and it is confidently predicted
that this law applied to Kansas City
and st. Louis will practically destroy
the boards of fire underwriters of both
cities. 1t remains to be seen, however,
whether any such result will follow. An
anti-compact law has occupied a place
on the statute books of Nebraska for
two years, but to date it remains n dead
letter. At any rate the attorney general,
although Il great antitrust fulminator,
has not discovered that such a law has
ever been passed.

The fusion governor of Colorado has

The fusion governor of Colorado has
again demonstrated his devotion to the
cause of reform by using the veto with
fatal effect upon Il valued policy law
passed by the legislature in the face of
the opposition of q strong insurance
lobby. The excuse for the governors
disapprOval of the bill is that IA valued
policy law offers "a reward for incendi-
arism." This has been the never failing
cry of the insurance companies and the
insurance lobby. But it has been dis
proved in Nebraska where although the
law has been in force for several years
in%cendiarism is almost unknown. Where
property is destroyed by intent of The
insured, insurance companies are not
and should not be compelled to pay the
loss, but when such Is not the case n
legitimate reason has yet to be offered
why they should not pay the full
amount of the policies on which they
have collected premium. 1t is signiti-
cant that the Nebraska valued policy
law was signed by a republican gov
ernor and had Colorado remained in the
republican column it, too, would now
have accomplished this reform.
