lMR. BRYAN'S ANSWERS.
he Democratic Leader IL Ready sd
70 the Point with . Repub-
IIcan Interrogater.

The following incidents occurred dur
ling Mr.. Bryan's tour Of Nebraska, and
are good examples Of his keen wit, luick
repartee and scathing invective:
Near the close Of his speech at Falls
City, republican in the audience arose
and denied that President Mckinley de-
sires to retain the Philippines, where
upon, without a moments hesitation
or the least show of embarrassment,
Mr.. Bryan quoted this sentence from
one Of McKinley's speeches: ~ cannot
permit myself to doubt that these is
lands will be retained under the be-
nign sovereignty of the United States"
The republican next declared that
most Of the Filipinos we're in revolt
against Againa!do.
Are you not fattering Aguinaldo
too much" asked Mr.. Bryan, "when
you assert that with handful of men
he can not only subjugate his own race,
but hold in check and Illustrate q great
American army| (Cheers).
A third time the man broke in to de-
clare that the trade of the Philippines
Is valuable. Bryan rose to his full
height and his eyes flashed as he thun-
dered:
Il dare you TO measure the lives of
American boys and the heartaches OF
American mothers by the paltry dollars
and cents of commerce; 1 dare you to
do it,"
And the crowd went into ver.table
paroxysm OF applause. Then the man
declared that Providence was leading
the United States 10 the Philippine is
lands. He had not long TO await his an
swer:
"Ah, my friend" came the reply, ~
never yet cornered an imperialist who
did not finally lay the blame on the AL
mighty" daughter and cheers).
IF you, my friend, we're. kaiif as anx-
ious 20 be on the Lords side as you are
TO bring Jehovah down from Heaven
to bolster up the republican party, you
wouldn't be here advocating an aban-
Comment of the declaration or indie
pendence. You are not preaching the
gospel Of the Prince of Peace. You're
preaching the Internal gospel Of con-
quest and murder and DEATH"
The orators last words were
drowned in a tempest of cheers. The
imperialist disappeared. And SO Will

ured by the enlightened intelligence OF

Certain prominent republicans

Protective tariffs are very nice
when they protect you, but when 9TH

Husband Won the Case.

LEXINGTON, Nov. 20. Through Judge
Parker's decision j. 5. Bradley was
Friday afternoon given the custody of
his l2-year-old daughter, and case
which has dragged through the courts
of Kentucky and Nebraska was ended.
At Louisville five years ago Bradley
secured a divorce from his wife. She
took their daughter and went to Oma-
ha, Neb., where she married a man
named Vickery. Bradley married
again, and then, under a writ of ha-
beas corpus, obtained the child and
brought her back to Kentucky. Mrs.
Vickery came here, entered suit, and

RELIGION ENTERS INTO 1T.
WILL Interfere with Religious
Liberty.

Every man who has read history must
believe shat the only safety for religious
liberty is in a peoples government. A
liberty OF right, and not by liberation.
n, is in America that the prosecuted
sects OF the centralized governments Of
the world have found freedom Of wor-
ship and liberty OF conscience. II any
where in the world there IL religious
tolerance TO be found il is due entirely
TO the example of the United States
in giving all shelter free from perse-
cution. Do the good people who are
charged with fulsome praise anent Mr.
McKinley's Philippine policy fully I'M
derstand the gravity OF the outcome OF
that policy? Admitting that his pol
icy will carry the Bible with the flag
to the uttermost parts Of the earth and
transform a civil government into an
apostolate. which one of the numerous
sects will that apostolic Caesar accept
as his own? When the limits of con
stitutional power have been transcend
ed, a new Caesar will have been Gre
ated. a Caesar that will not stop at
crumbs, but will demand mouthfnls.
With the least decline in the principle
Of popular sovereignty will commence
an Independent sovereignty not bound
by any restrictions upon its own con-
duet. What then will become Of relig-
ious liberty. a liberty so dearly bought?
Is not the suggestion of the idea suf-
ficient 10 put religious thinkers upon
the alert? To which one OF the sects,
as future state establishment, are the
others prepared to surrender their free
dom,

COMBINATION IN RAILROADS
How the Republicans Control the
Vast Political Power In
Them.

Nearly every week some new ctmbi-
nation is reported. IL does not seem
an exaggeration to say that we may
soon see all the railroads of tie coun-
try controlled by five men, and these
agreed that there shall be no competi-
ton between them. Practically uni
versal railroad trust or monopoly.
The railroad freight bills of the coun-
try will this year exceed $1,000, 100000,
over sl3 for every man, woman and
child, or an average Of SOS for each
family. The passenger travel will
amount to one-third as much.
There are over 100000 men en-
ployed by the railroad companies, or
about one-fourteenth of the total yot-
ing population, all more or less de-
pendent upon the officers of these rail
roads for their daily bread. These Of
ficers are controlled by the five finan-
ciers who form the governing power
of the railroad trust or combination.
What n vast political power they can
WELD, and they did use il in the last
national election, and will again use
il in the next one, All this great po-
litical power was used for the repub-
Leans, and in addition a vast sum sub
scribed to the Hanna-McKinley cam
paign fuAd.
Why were these railroad all in favor
Of the republicans? And why are the
republican leaders favorable 10 the
railroads? And why do they set their
faces like n stone wall against enforc-
ing the antitrust laws and giving the
interstate commerce commission the
power they have asked for? The an
swer 20 these questions is self-evi-
dent.
To pass resolutions against trusts,
as Mr.. Hanna did In the platform Of
the Ohio republican convention, or 20
repeat these or stronger ones in the
next republican national platform will
not blind the eyes of the voters OF the
United States, unless they are partici'I
pating in the Doodle provided by the
trusts and railroad combinations, and
oisbursed with lavish hand by thu
Hsnna-McKinley political strikers.
