WILL BRYAN MiGRArE TO vrxAse

Washington Correspondent New York
 Tribune
 William Jennings Bryrns positively last appearance" in Washington last Sunday gave rise to story to his future move merits which is causing uneasiness to the junior senator from Texas, Mir. CuSberson. The story runs that when Mir Bryan is again defeated for the presidency this year he will transfer his citizenship from Me- braska to Texas. The reason assigned for fhis fptended migration is the recognition by MT. Bryan of the utter hopelessness of holding Nebraska to the fusion programme When fusion loses it's strength in Nebraska the republicans will again run the state, and elect both United States senators. Texas Is hopelessly and irretrievably demo- cratic. Even if a hundred thousand demo- cra.ts should leave that state, and none should come to take their places in the party ranks, there would still be demo- era tic majority left of more than one hum dred thousand. Bryen's popularity in Texas is unbounded. He has been ins the state great deal in the last four years, and is now regarded by the Texans almost as one of their citizens His family have been in Austin, the state capital since early last fall. His children have been going to the public schools there. When Bryan finishes his stumping tour on this side of the Allegheny mountains he is going to Austin. That city will be his headquar- ters until the summer comes It is said that his family will be left on the Texas coast through the campaign, so it is proba- ble that they will not see Nebraska for nearly year. We'll founded rumor has it that Bryan has arranged with Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas to open law office in Aus tin when the campaign is over and he is de- feated. Hogg new has the largest and most lucrative corporation practice in the state. Whether or not Bryan will share with him in this corporation practice Is not stated, but it is asserted as fact by well informed Texans that he will begin the practice of law at Austin next winter. In 1905 the ur d sr standing Is that he will come to the senate from Texas--at least, try to do so-in place of Mir. Culberson. Hence, the keen interest Senator Cugberson now takes in all stories relating to Colonel Bryans future.

Where He Got His KnowIedee

An American woman tells of going through the works in Germany where the Krupp guns are made, and encountered Jou- bert while he was unknown, relates the New York Telegram. The woman was the guest of the American ambassador and his wife, and at the works they were met by Krupp himself In making their tour of the arsenal they were joined by a man who fol- lowed through each department, and in few moments responded to some casual question about the guns from one of the party. Once having spoken he launched forth into such detailed description of their manufacture that Krupp, who had hitherto been talking. kept still and simply followed as one of the audience. The man accom- panied the party, explaining as he went. until the tour had been made Then ho bowed and retired.
 "Who is that man who knows SO much about guns" demanded one of the party.
 "Oh, that's Dutchman named Pete Jou- bert" replied one of the officials.

Great Debate in the Senate.

On Tuesday next the most important de- bate that the house has known since the Reed rules were adopted will be ended. It has been throughout a debate a high level. MT. Ricardson was enfinently cor rect when in opening 1t he said of the Porto Rican bill, lit will prove more far-reacthing in its provisions and disastrous in the re- suits that must of necessity follow if it should be enacted into law than any act ever passed by congress- The bill before the house will really determine whether we live in republic an empire. It is the continuation of long series of openly avowed aggressions upon the constitution and the republic as the fathers planned it.
 It is not at all surprising that MT. Me- Kiniey, who is an opportunfst within MT. danua's limits, has changed his mind. In his annual message he said: "Our plain duty is to abolish all custom tariffs between the United States and Porto Rtco and give her products free access to our markets He now upholds the pending bill. This bill is based on the theory that all territory out side the states is mere property over which congress has full and unlimited control. It may prescribe 25 per cent tariff for Porto Rico, 35 per cent tariff for Alaska, a 45 per cent tariff for Arizona. and so on to the end of the list. The forty-five states con- stltute the United States. and the limita- tions of the constitution do not extend to a foot of territory outside of them. The president unblushingly stated to Henry L. Nelson that if an American citizen should go beyond the states to 'one of our colon- ies" congress may take from him the right of trial by jury, or any other right guar apteed to him by the constitution. An American citizen who goes to Cape Nome, for example, loses all his constitutional rights This is in brief the new constitu- tion that the republican party is now en~ deavoring to establish at the dictation of a sugar and tobacco lobby.
 They may not succeed MT Lttefeld of Maine, MT. Loriner of Chicago, and some other republicans are opposing the revolu- tion, and MT. LLttlefeld TiddIed the scheme recommttted, which means that tt is dead. The vote will be taken on Tuesday next at 8 o'clock. That vote will determine whether the republic is to stand. or is to be supplanted by an empire that capitalism can readily turn into an oiigarehy.

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
He Always Keers His Word

Some time ago a noted New Englander came to the capital for the purpose of transacting some business. it matters It, tie what before one of the departments, says Leslie's Weekly. It was necessary to obtain the cooperation of various mem- bers of congress and senators. Together with his attorney he made a call on a cer- tain distinguished solon, who most cordial, greeting the visiting Yankee as though he were his 1ong-lost brother; he grasped him cordially by the hand, patted him the shoulder, and altogether put him In pleasant mood Everything he asked the senator to do was most willingly acceded to, and the amiable politician pro- posed to do even more than was requested of him. "There was nothing the matter with the project" he said; "of course he would indorse it that very day; would in- struct his secretary to do so and so, and he would himself do so and so." The man from Yankeedom felt as if his object were ob- tained
 Fine, fne,'' he remarked to his com- panion. on leaving the senator.
 ''Nonsense,'' responded that worthy. V"Di- vide that by hundred and you will find out just what the man will do if he does anything. He is joll:er, and, while he partially means what he says, never gets the time to carry out his promises. He has a passion, however, for making people feel good"
 Their next visit was on Senator Frye, who was pleasant but business-like, and wasted no time on compliments. When the mat ter was presented to him he asked some terse questions. Your project is a good one,' he said finally "I will see the secre- tary."
 "l congratulate you, old man." remarked the lawyer to his client when they reached the pavement T congra tulate you; your case is practically won"
 What do you mean?' asked his friend T am utterly discouraged Mir Frye did not seem to take near as much interest as Senator Blank, and he is the one l most depended upon.'
 "Nonesense, nonsense" responded his companion. 'If MT. Frye says he will do d thing it is done. His word is as good as an- other mans oath" And that, indeed is the general reputation of the senior senator from Maine.

Harry Walker was here yesterday. Har- " is seintillating light of Tammany He is likewise one of the oleverest geniuses of the American press I say cleverest gen. fuses advisedly, because there are many geniuses, and many clever writers. The genius, however. many times lacks what my lamented friend, Senator Joe Brown, of Georgia, defined as Judgement, with the accent on the last syllable. The clever journalist-well there are many of them.
 Walker writes, and writes well. He has written many men into fame and fortune. Richard Croker owes much to Walkers genius in exploiting his wisdom, his pat riotism and his generous acts to his friends. Walker first brought Robert Van Wyck, the present mayor of New York, conspicuously before the public. For ten years he dele cately handled the Van wyck boom, mod estly, almost imperceptibly at first, but growing bit year by year until he mater ialized before the great city, and was nomi- mated and elected mayor.

Walker has given Willett a national reputation. He has given Willett all manner of foreign law practice-a prac- tice fully deserved, too, because Willett is an excellent lawyer-indeed, a far better lawyer than politician. to his credit be 1t said.
 Walkers cleverest feat in journalism was begun about ten years ago as Wash ington correspondent of the New York Everirg Telegram. the Heralds afternoon edition. Walker induced Tim Campbell, congressman from an Eas'tside New York district, rough gem of genius, devoid of education, burt ful of physical energy and natural wit and wisdom, to become corre- spondent in name, while he (Walker) should be in fact The consideration for Campbell was notoriety, and perhaps fame. The first letter was heralded with q four ish of editorial trumpets on the part of the Telegram. The letters defined demo- cratic policies and read lectures to demo- crats in congress as to their duties. They discussed pending measures with vigor

RESTRICTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 The devil always needs women in his busi- ness.
 As soon as a man begins to have more than he needs he begins to have less than his wife wants.
 When it comes to a frying-pan and piece of raw meat the average man is way ahead of the average girl.
 When the recording angel gets melan- choly he takes day off, and goes to some cemetery and reads the tombstones.
 Teach a boy that men are not worse than women, and he will believe that women are no peter than men. When he is man he will believe that they have no business to be.

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 Governor Johnston's friends defeated the movement to vote direct for senator in Jefferson county. They thus placed them selves in a position to be charged with be- ing afraid to risk an open race with Senator Morgan in Governor Johnstons home coun- ty.
 It will not be forgotten by the voters of Alabama that Governor Johnston stated some weeks since that he had not lost county where the people were allowed to vote in direct primary. It is possible that the governor is afraid of the voters in his home county? Naturally that is the in- ference, and it appears fully justified. The governor has not forgotten how he had to fight to secure ene-half the Jefferson county delegation in 1896, and does not care to have that division performance repeated.
 Hereafter the governor will have little to say about general primaries. He can hardly ask for primaries on the senatorial question in other counties when he refused to allow one in his home county.
 From the Scottsboro Progressive Age.
 Johnston dictates the party's plan of &C., tion in Jefferson county. The executive com- mittee of that county met yesterday and de- cided to leave the selection of a candidate for governor to vote of the people as urgently requested by the friends of Tom linson. A candidate for United States sen ator will be selected by county conven- tion. The plan of leaving the selection of the senatorial candidate to a direct vote of the people was warmly championed by the friends of Senator Morgan and bitter ly opposed by the Johnston forces. Thus 1t will be seen the action of the committee was victory for Johnston, but one that may bring him end of trouble before the election Is over.
