bryan arrived in Memphis Tuesday and
was given an enthusiastic reception by
thousands of local and visiting ad-
IRirers. The early morning trains on all
the railroads were oaded with visitors
who came to hear and see Mr.. Bryan
and to join in the celebration of Mardi
Gras. In the morning a breakfast was
rendered the Nebraskan by w H. Car
roll and a reception was held at the
Peabody hotel in the afternoon. Last
night Mr. Bryan delivered an address
at the Auditorium The huge structure
was packed with people and many were
denied admittance-
In an interview Mr.. Bryan was asked
what the paramount issues in the ap-
preaching campaign would be. He
said:
We'll that depends There are three
questions before the public-the money
question, trusts and Imperialism. Men
differ as to the relative value of these
questions, but the Republicans are on
the defensive of all of them. Events
will do much to determine which issue
viii exercise the most influence For
instance, the currency bill which is
now in conference has emphasized the
money question, because it attempts
to carry the gold standard a little far
Their and to turn paper money over to
national banks. Every new trust tends
to emphasize the trust question.
THE BOer war and the Porto Rican
tariff bill are emphasizing the ques-
tion of Imperialism. But as I said, the
Republican party is on the defensive
on all of them, and the fight will be
made all along All three of the ques-
lions are alive"
No it is not dying out" replied Mr..
Bryan, and the editors who continue
to say that it is know better. The ac-
tion Of the Republican party in amend
ing the currency bill as a last resort,
so as to revive the promise of interna-
tional bimetanism, is confession that
the gold standard is not satisfactory,
and no Republican editor can explain
that amendment except by acknowledge
ing that it is an attempt to thrust
fraud on the American people"

CABoosE EVOLUTION.
Present Style Way Cars Represent
Rank Extravaganza.

Economy appears to be the cry from
all departments of railroads. The bond
holders and stockholders demand it at
present, and the officials must make d
good showing if they hope to be retain
ed in office. The Railway and Engi-
neering Review gives the following as
an instance of rank extravaganza;
In these times of exclusion of ev-
erything which tends to diminish the
paying load hauled it is odd that the
large, heavy double-truck caboose has
escaped attention. The well known eX-
pedient of filing the tool boxes and the
space underneath the seats with sand
and iron in order to make the caboOse
so heavy it will ride easy, brings the
weight of the cabOOse up practically to
that of a loaded car. In the past, espec-
tally in the west, the sparsely settled
country through which the road ran
compelled the crew to practically live in
their cabOOses.
But such is not the case at present.
There is no necessity of the crews hv-
ing in the cabooses, and very few of
the men do. Why, then, is it necessary
to drag such a heavy nOn-paying mass
as is exemplified in the double truck ca
boose?
"On the road it is never occupied by
any other man than the conductor in
summer, and in winter four wheel
caboose is large enough to accommo-
date all the crew, who congregate there
for refuge from the weather.
THE small caboose contains plenty of
room for all legitimate purposes, it pre-
cludes any attempt at loading it down
with old iron and sand, and it is per
fectly safe to operate, and simply seems
not to be adopted because Of the dislike
of trainmen for them, and because it is
the custom to provide a. roOmy double
truck, easy-riding burden to the loco
motive for the accommodation of en-
bryO trainmaSt ers.'

Pullman Car Shortage.

Chicago, Feb. 28.-A scarcity of first
class sleeping cars exists among a num-
Der of the railroads radiating from Chi
cago. The famine has been caused, it
is said, by the action of the Pullman
company in sending too many of the
Wagner cars to the shops for repairs
at the same time. It is said that when
Pullman's company took hold of the
affairs of the Wagner corporation 1t
found the cars of the latter badly in
need of repairs. These cars have been
taken out of the service and some Pull
mans substituted.

explaining why he proposes to vote to
seat Colonel Quay, which vote will be lG
direct conflict with the one he delivered
against Corbett but little more than a
year ago. The burden of that explana-
ton was that Corbett came here with an
appointment by the gov, raor, made
necessary by his revolutionary anarch-
istic action III preventing the organiza-
ton Of the Oregon legislature, which
would have elected Senator Mitchell to
succeed himself.
Corbett's hands were unclean. He
asked the senate to make him the bene-
ficiary Of his own unlawful act. Quay,
on the other hand, comes here with
clean hands, although the courts We're
invoked in the effort to help in the exc
cution of a conspiracy to destroy him
politically and financially.
He said III part:
"There has been scheme i'll Pennsyl-
