Governor Altgeld has announced
that -he Bryan leaders may at the
democratic convention aolish the
time-honored two-thirds rule in nomin-
ating candidates for president and vice
president and resort to majority rule.
Two-thirds rule has been sacred prac-
tice inf democrats since their first ma
tional convention, but of course what
Alteeld now fears is that its mainten-
ance may defeat Brvan's denomination
and the reaffirmation of the Chicago
platform. This implied fear is hardly
consistent with democratic boasts that
Bryanism and silver sentiment are
steadily increasing in popularity and
strength in the democracy.

In the st. Paul Dispatch we find the
following commendatory notice OF
Congressman John f. Lacey:
"John F. Lacey, of Oskaloosa, chair
man of the committee on public lands,
is perhaps one of the most widely
known men in the house, and one
who has done some of the best work
that has been done for Col. Henderson.
He is known as the parliamentarian of
the house and the best man in the body
to draft an alright bill. His position
at the head of the committee on public
lands gave him a wide acquaintance
and high standing with a class which
always Yields strong influence in the
formation Of. party policy. His ac-
quaintance with the republican mem
bers is perhaps closer and more init
mate than any of the other iowa con-
gressmen, and his correspondent with
individual members was a factor
which had much to do with the out
come"

The republican Times-Herald, in
speaking of the recent disaster to Tam
man when Governor Hogs eulogized
Bryan, takes occasion to comment very
favorabiy on the ex-candidate's pleas
ing personality, his clean-cut elo-
qnence, his magnetism, and his general
popularity still among the ignorant
class-in all a compliment to an an
tagonist. Immediately the Omaha
World-Herald, Mr.. Bryan's personal or
gan, modestly reprints the article with
large headlines announcing Mr.. Bryan's
popularity.

It seems that Manila is not the only

owned by the railroad company, which
are available for purchase, and the
leasing of state lands. The states OF
Wyoming and Utah now have applica-
tons for leases aggregating more than
two million acres in excess of that
which they are able to furnish. The
advantage derived by the sheepmen in
owning their own range is that they
know just how much feed they can de-
pend upon, consequently they can
guage the extent of their fiocks ac-
cordingly. And then the saving from
loss of sheep is more than compensa-
ton for the outlay in the land in the
course of time

With Bryan to make speech at Des
Dimes on the eve of the democratic
ate convention, it is not hard to dis
,ver that the Hon. Cato Sells knew
is business when he declined to be a
candidate for the governorship. The
sound money democrats of Iowa, who
had hoped that the Iowa convention
would not make free silver a para
mount issue, have had their hopes
dashed by this announcement, And it
quite likely that for no other reason
las the Hon. William Jennings con-
,ented to speak in Des Moines.

NEW STORY ABOUT JEFFERSON.

A good story Is told of an experience
of Joseph Jefferson, the great actor. A
number of years ago he played a one
night engagement in a small Indiana
town, appearing in his favorite TT of

he stopped was an Irishman recently
landed" who acted as porter and gem
eral assistant Judged by the deep and
serious interest which he took in the
house, he might have been clerk, lessee
and proprietor, rolled into one. At about
o'clock in the morning Mr.. Jefferson
was startled by violent humping on
his door. When he struggled into con-
seriousness and realized that he had left
no "call" order at the office he was
naturally very indignant. But his sleep
was spoiled for that morning, so he
arose and soon after appeared before
the clerk. See here" he demanded Of
that individual, why was 1 called at
this unearthly hour?" II don't know

Mike" The Irishman was summoned.
Said the clerk, Mike, there was no call
for Mr.. Jefferson. Why did you disturb
him?' Taking the clerk by the lapel of
