Bryan May Not Seek Senatorship.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. s-William ].
Bryan is not and will not be a candidate
for United States senator from Nebraska.
With both sides claiming a majority on
joint ballot in the next legislature, and
with hopes Of success of the fusionists,
the question causing general conjecture,
in view of Bryan's defeat Of yesterday, is
settled. Bryan has made no public an
nouncement Of his intentions CONCERNING
the senatorial matter, but his word has
been given and undoubtedly will be kept.
1t is commonly reported that Bryan
gave his personal pledge, before the cam
paign opened, that he would not be a
senatorial candidate if defeated. This
pledge is said to have been given G.. M.
Hitchcock, editor Of the Omaha World
Herald. Richard L. Metsalfe, of Omaha,
who was chosen by Bryan to express his
wishes to the Kansas City convention,
said tonight there was not the rem test
possibility of Bryan being factor in the
senatorial fight.
In spite OF these declarations there is
a growing belief that Bryan will be
candidate before the Legislature, and
that trouble will be the result. The fu-
sionists thilk he should stand aside and
give those who helped to fght his battles
an opportunity to obtain prsfsrment.
The democrats of the country, however,
are expected to take part in the fight and
to attempt to force Bryan to go to the
senate for its affect on the party. On
the theory that the party needs him in
the senate, it is possible he may try for
the vacancy, in spise Of protests Of his
Nebraska followers. This promises to
cause all kindf Of trouble.
With the exception Of short drive
Mr.. Bryan remained in his study during
the day, rising late this morning and re-
firing early tonight. BE said this even
ing that he had no statement OF any
kind to make at present. Mr.. Bryan re-
ceived. hundreds Of kilograms during the
day and evening from personal and poll
tical friends, but their nature was not
disclosed.
1t is Mr.. Bryan's intention to remain
in Lincoln, at least, until he is thoroughly
rested. To newspaper correspondents
he asked to be excused from outlining
his future action.

Ed. The INDEPENDENTS:
Amid the other troubles under
which poor isolated qusrantiued,
half cremated Honolulu, has to Ia
Dor at present, not the least is the
sad disappointment of the manner in
which the lately returned Oakland
millionaire Minister of the Interior
OF the Republic of Hawaii has ignor.

identified with the country, to the
first preference to au Office of i'm
portance in the government, by his

Naturally the questions would be
asked "Is not the new appointee an
Hawaiian by birth, naturalization
or residence7 Has he not some vest
ed interests OF some kindi Has he
not a home and family here7 The
echoes of the answers would be No.
No. No. And if further question
was asked as to whether he had not
paid some taxes, the answer would
be extended to "Nit, not bean"
The case is a sample, here on the
one hand a kamaaina who has his
home, a family and interests here
and who besides has, by his labor,
built upthe country, paid and is
paying taxes and fully capable to
fill the bill, thrust aside for an un-
known quantity but who boasts the
pull" of the minister Of Oakland.
1t may be that this incident is but
a foreshadowing OF the coming
events, at any rate the Young min.
lister has the doubtful honor of first
presenting the picture in the In
terror Department and it may be
that, when vacancies occur in other
bureaus of the Department as we'll
as in his own Office a swell appearing
young man who can present the
prestige of Just arriving in Hawaii
may hope to be appointed to fill the

POSSIBILITIES.

The news from the Transvaal is
decidedly interesting, but it is not,
nor will it be, for at least two months
hence of decisive character. That
master minds on both sides are at
work is self evident, and, further
more, when bravery is equal, the
advantage is generally on the side
of the defenders as against invaders
Of territory. The Beers are Trap.
pists Of the silent order except when
their guns speak. Thus much for
optimists and pessimists alike, but
there is something far more serious
behind the situation than the present
war, even if it be accepted that on
the one hand England is fighting
for the consolidation of her empire,
or on the other for it's life preserva-
ton. Defeated in turns by North
men and Southmen OF all kinds,
Danes, Dutch, Spanish and French
the result of defeat has bean even-
tual victory and expansion of Empire
as history records. The fear OF the
future may we'll be that the sight of
gore will start an insatiate thirst for
the wine of war among other ma
tions. AS if in anticipation OF such
evsntualities England is massing her
invincible fleet and mobilizing her
reserves. She boldly lays down her
gauntlet and defies the world to take
it up and interfere in her private
quarrels. If alone in her fight, for
what she assumes to be right. she
like Fitz James stands against the
rock and once again cries "come one
come all, etc" The trouble is that
when once the torch of war is light
ed you never know how it will spread
as witness our peaceful plague con-
hagration in Chinatown. Let us
hope that Hawaii and its annexed
territory tho U, S. will be spared the
horrors of imminent strife.
