WHY BRYAN DIDN'T GO TO CUBA.

Col. Bryan is engaged in making
speeches in Nebraska where there is a
very interesting political campaign in
progress. He intends that the Democrats
shall carry the state, if il is possible for
them to do so. The Republicans are not
idle. They seem to think that because the
state is prosperous-havihg had three good
crops in succession-they will have no diff
Guilty in winning the election.
At ONeil on last Monday night some
one in the audience asked Col Bryan.
while he was making a speech, why he
did not go to Cuba. He had his answer
ready. He said: Il offered my services to
a Republican President the day the war
was declared. That offer was never ac-
cepted. 1 then raised a regiment of my
own. When the treaty of peace was signed
1 resigned, because 1 believed this country
was in more danger than Cuba, and I
came home 10 fight the Republicans l
had five months of peace in the army and
have had constant fighting since I came

Why the Republican President did not
accept the services of Col. Bryan for the
war WIN SPAN Is 50 CiedE tldl At Is dDDdG-
ent TO every one. Had Col. Bryan gone to
Cuba with Gen. Skaters army and made
reputation something like that which
Roosevelt made, his chances for being the
next President would have been greatly
increased. Mr.. Mckinley and the other
men who direct the Republican party did
not want him to go to Cuba, and they took

Even the regiment, of which he was col
onel, though one of the best of the volun-
teer force, did not get an opportunity 10
do any fighting 1t was kept in camp in
this country. along with the volunteers
from the South. The President did not
seem to care to have Col Bryan appear
on the field of battle, and fol. some reason
he had objection to soldiers from the
South getting any glory out of the war
We do not know of course what kind of
a soldier Col. Bryan would have been on
the field of battle, but judging from his
political career he could have won repu-
tation that would have gone long way
towards putting him in the White House.
There is no political capital to be made
out of the assertion that Col. Bryan did
not do any fighting in the war
with Spain. He was on deck all the
time. ready 10 obey commands that might
be given him. He was held in check by
his political opponents. Why he was so
! held was apparent Military success would
| have made him too great political power.
II he possessed military record, equal TO
his record as a speaker at public meet
! i6gs, nothing could keep him out of the
| White House.

a Memphis family which employs an
old-time negress as cook recently had
a gas range put in the kitchen, says the
Memphis Scimitar. When the range was
put in place the workman who put il there
lighted the jets inside the oven, and then
closed the doors. He opened them, turned
off the gas, and then relighting the jets,
explained to the old negress how the range
was used. The jets cannot be seen when
the doors of the oven are closed, and
in the excitement of the explanation the
workman closed them and forgot the light
ed jets.
The old negress, after hearing all he had
to say, said:
IT amt no use ter tell me erbout hit
I'm gwinter use dis we're ole wood stove
whut Use cooked on so long"
The workman laughed and went away
not thinking that the old cook meant what
she said. She did mean it, though, and
continued to use the old wood stove to
cook with
When the head of the family that en-
ploys her received his gas bill fifteen days
after the gas stove was put in he almost
dropped dead. The bill showed that he
owed the gas company $21
Investigation proved that the Jets in the
oven had been burning from the time the
workman left. The old cook had never
opened the oven doors

THEIR sYMPATHIEs WITH TRUSTS.

In an editorial article the other day
Mr.. Henry Watterson said that the Demo-
Gratis could moi make much of an issue
out of trusts because the Republicans could
howl as long and as loud against trusts
as the Democrats, There is no doubt
about the truth of that statement, but
will the Republicans take decisive stand
against trusts May they not think il
advisable. from the standpoint of shrewd
politics, 10 take the position that trusts
in themselves are good things and that
they are only bad when they get into the
hands of men VINO have no hesitation in
robbing the pubic?
II is certain that the Republican papers
ore not deuouncing trusts as strongly a.
the Democratic papers. IT is worthy OF
notice that many if not the majority, OF
the Republican papers, IN commenting on
the speeches delivered by Col. Bryan and
Mr. Bourke Cochran at the trust confer
ence in Chicago last week, say that the
speech of Cochran was very much the
best-that. i'm feet, Col. Bryan dealt only
in glittering generalities, and that Mr..
Cochran made a speech which was replete
with facts and logic, and was so convinc-
ing that he carried the members of the
conference with him. one of them says
that he completely demolished Bryan
and others speak of his speech as being
"a masterpiece of logic and common
sense"
As matter of fact, Col Bryan made
two very able speeches. What he said
was clearly and forcibly said. He stated
his plan for suppressing trusts, and sup
ported it with strong arguments There
may be objections 90 Col. Bryen's plan
very serious objections-but IL cannot be
denied that it would prove effective in put
ting an end to trusts if it were adopted.
one great objection that has been raised
20 it is that it is not in harmony with
the principles of the Democratic party,
because it tends to the Capitalization of
power in the general government In his
Chicago argument Mr.. Bryan answered
this objection, though the answer, to some
of those who listened to him, may not
have been wholly satisfactory
The point we wish to make, however,
is that the sympathies of the Republican
press were with Mr.. Cochran, who is not
against trusts. He is only against those
trusts which use their power 20 Cypress
the people. Judging from the tone of the
Republican papers it would not be sur
prising If there should be a radical differ
ence between the Democratic and Republ-
can platforms on the trust question.

It is said that the only time that James
G. Blaine was nonplused was while he was
Secretary of State, says the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post. One of the APP
plicants for consulate in Japan was the
late Samuel Kimberley of Baltimore, who
died in the service in Central America
After he had presented his credentials Mr..
Blaine said:
Il should like to appoint you, Mr.. Kim
berley, but I have made it rule to rec
ommend no one who does not speak the
language of the country to which he is
sent. Do you speak Japanese"
"Cer-t-tainly, Mr.. Blaine" stammered

in J-J-Japanese and I'll a-a-a-answer you. d"
Mr.. Blaine hadn't word to say, but the

same, and Kimberley went to Central
America.

4 MOVEMENT OF THE GOLD DEMO
Gratis.

Last summer il was the understanding
that the effort that was 10 be made TO
nominate Admiral Dewey for President
cracy. The movement that is being engin-
eered now is said TO be in the interest of
the gold Democrats
The thought is being thrown out that
those who supported Palmer and Buckner
in 1896 are planning 10 nominate Admiral
Dewey on platform on which all Demo-
Gratis can stand. II what is said about the
matter has any foundation the goSd Demo-
Gratis believe that with Admiral Dewey as
their candidate they would stand a very
good chance of carrying the election
Il seems funny that Admiral Dewey's
name is being used so freely in connection
with a presidential nomination without
consulting him about the matter 1t is
fair to assume that he has not been con-
suited. If he had been some whisper con-
corning it would have been heard.
IL seems TO be pretty safe TO say that
Admiral Dewey would not accept a presi-
dental nomination from the gold Demo-
Gratis. 1t would be folly for him TO accept
a nomination without the least chance of
being elected. II is doubtful if he would
poll very many more votes than we're poll
ed by the Palmer and Buckner ticket. The
people would resent his depending on his
popularity for an election.
Al OF this talk of nominating him Tor
President will not amount to anything. The

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd) discussing
the Cartervile, III. affair, under the head
line, "Where Are the Negro Haters?"
says: There is hardly a locality in the
South where the negro is denied the OPP
portunty of labor or the chance of ac-
curing property aud independence. Ag-
riculture, the mechanical pursuits, the
professions and the arts are open to him.
He is denied nothing, in fact. save polit-
cal domination. The great landholders will
rent or sell to the negro on the most ia
vorable terms The assertion that the
upper classes of the South hold the colored
people In aversion is absolutely false.
They require of their negro fellow citizens
only that they obey the laws and uphold
public order.
every well informed person knows that
such conditions do not prevail at the
North. II Is notorious that in that sec
ton. a personal aversion to the negro is
universal. The very people who turned
the country topsy-turvy forty years ago
ushered in the most gigantic war of mod
ern times, and finally put the ballot-like
a torch-into the hands OF millions of
thoughtess children-these people are to-
day the real negro-haters of America
The Philadelphia Times Qnd) says:
"Ex- Secretary Alger seems to be like the
hired man who. when discharged by his
employer, got mad and quit In a letter
10 an Ann Arbor friend he announces his
withdrawal from the senatorial contest for
reasons that are purely of a personal and
business nature. This sounds very disin-
terested TO those who do not live in Mich
igan. out in that state it is an open Sc
cret that nine out of ten Republicans
are in favor of the reelection of Senator
Mcmillan. Ayers personal and business
reasons for Withdrawing is that he has
not a ghost of chance of being elected"
The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem)
says: THE press correspondent who sent
out the account of the Carterville, H.,
riot Is an artist According to him the
negroes began the shooting at the whites
and kept il up but killed nothing but
themselves. Evidently those negroes en-
tered the town, which had drawn a dead
line against them. for the sole purpose of
committing suicide."
