shall hereafter be granted the right TO
vote. That all laws or parts Of laws in
any way conflicting with that statute
shall hereby berepealed." Then Sena-
tor Pr1tchard made 10 minutes talk
on the affirmative. He showed very
much eloquence and his speech was
forcibly put; but was very strongly op
posed by Senator Clay from Georgia,
I'VE know" says Senator Clay, ''that
on election days most men make it
practice to get drunk and in this mode
they cast their votes. Shall we, most
honorable Senators. allow our women,
the noblest work of God, as my oppon'
ent says, walk along side Of these, such
drankaIds and vagsbonds to the ballot
box. No, no gentlemen we must op-
pose it to the last" In reply to one of
Senator Pritchard's points about our
women assisting in the late war with
Spain, he says, "Gentlemen, L would
like to ask by whom was our country
victorious, by whom is it recognized by
foreign powers, amagine that I hear
in the distant city Of Boston, the insti-
gator of this suffrage question, that
feeble voice trying to say, women but
is compelled TO say man minus the
women." After his speech OF ten or
fifteen minutes, he was followed by
Senator Daniels who commenced his
speech thus; Gentleman of this most
honorable assembly, the Senator who
preceded me has taken you, as it were,
upon a high mountain and showed
you all the Kingdoms of the world say
ing that all Will be yours if you fall
down and worship him; but believe
that voice the sentiment of all pres
ent when say get thee behind me
Satan.'" Senator Daniels gave some
very strong points and plain facts, un-
til he was interrupted several times by
different Senators. He showed where
women have a full right to vote, as
she is compelled to pay tsxes and
other duties that men are subject to.
and therefore if they are subject to the
same regulations as man there is lao
reason why they should be excluded
from the ballot box and as for going |
to the ballot beside drunken men that
is one reason why they should vot
as it would thereby increase their NOR
ality In that respect, as he would be
bound to respect woman In her place
Senator McLauren followed him and
spoke 10 or 15 minutes showing where
it would disgrace our country to let
women vote, and many other solid facts
as to why they should not vote. His
speech was 30 concise In form and
elaborate in sense that it seemed that
he would never finish it, because he
was interrupted SO much by other Sen
ators asking different questions. The
last interruption seemed to be because
he resisted 1t SO sternly. It was when
he was interrupted by Senator Pritchard
who asked If he might ask question.
On the President asking Senator Nc
Lauren If he would yield to the inter
ruption he answered very hesitatingly
and with long face, eyes, if is not
too long" When the question was
asked, 1t touched on something he had

M'KINLEY'S LATEST PORTRAIT.
A Splendid Autograph Picture of the Presi'

A short time ago President McKin-
ley sat for photograph, which he has
pronounced the best ever secured. A
cepy of this portrait. in colors, with
facsimile of the Presidents signature,
on each picture, will be given free with
every copy of the great Philadelphia
Sunday Press, next Sunday (June 10. }
1t is a souvenir everyone is certain to
prize, both because of it's merit as a
work of art and its timeliness, in view
of the fact that Mckinley is certain to
be renominated at the National Con-
ventoon week after next. The size of
the picture is IA by 90 inches, and
everyone will be perfect. The demand

CHEswoLD, June 4th.-The straw
berry is holding sway just now and
taxing the energies in some way of
probably eight-tenths of the people of
this locality. Saturday and Monday
were the big days, the former supposed
to be the heavier. There was about
four cars loaded each day and con-
signed to Providence, Boston and
New York markets. Three and half
(34) cents per quart was about the pur
chasing price. The growers are
grumbling at these prices, but pickers
are in great demand at one and one
half cents per quart for picking and
are happy. The heavier days last
year it is said there was from five to
six cars loaded. Strawberry money is
circulating lively in all branches of
business.
Our Junior Order United American
Mechanics attended Cheswold Church
in body last Sunday morning an d
Pastor Gardner preached to them a
prepared sermon envincing much vigor
of thought as he dwelt upon the perils
which threaten our great country even
while we are growing, prospering and
extending sovereignty over less fav-
ored people to discipline them in civil
ization and ultimately christianization
He admonished the members of the
order whose principles are virtue,
liberty and patriotism that the politi-
cal, educational and moral forces in
their highest sense and purity must be
sacredly guarded if our great mission
be fulfilled and our prestage as nation
be maintained. The order which is
strong numbering over 80 in member

rather a commanding and impressive
appearance as they marched with ban
ner and regalia.

held next Sunday afternoon at Bethel

The Nebraska POnuIisfs.

The experience of the fusionists in Ne
braska points 10 the difficulties in their path
in this campaign. Already the ugly head
the spOils monster is reared to Brighten the
simon-pure siiverites who hold principle
above pelf. The populists of Nebraska have
grown very domineering In their treatment
Of their associates in the white metal prop
uganda They rightly regard Mr. BRYAN
as one of them, without reserve or aualifi-
cation. He represents all their Fundamental
principles. He has been named by more
than one of their national conventions
Without them he could not carry his own
state. They are in a good position to die
tate terms In Nebraska, even if they can
not coerce the democratic party to accent
their candidate for the vice presidency So
they have put the screws on their allies
the democrats and the silver republicans
and. in an expressive though inclegant
phrase, have "hogged the offices" Out of
eight nominations on the fusion ticket they
secured all but two, giving each of the
other parties one, ratio altogether out
of proportion, according to the allies to
the votes expected 10 be contributed to the
joint ticket.
The populists are chagrned at the pros
pect that they are to have no avowed rep
reSentative on the national ticket other
than Bryan. who will not proclaim his al
legtance to that party, even though he sub
scribes to its dogmas. A large percentage
of them have threatened to vote the Bar
ker-Donnelly ticket as midroaders, in or
der to emphasize their resentment With
the populists holding this rod over their as
sociates. weapon capable of dealing some
ugly blows in the campaign. 1t will be in
terestng to reflect what power they would
have in influencing the national administra-
ton in case Bryan were elected. 1t is clear
that Nebraska will be the scene of one of
the most interesting fights of the year

DIR. Harper the National UnIversity



Unless it We're to develop some new field
of work, what could the government uni
versity do that the state and private inst.-
tutions have not already done? 1t would
supply no long-felt want. would hold out
no superior inducements to students which
would draw them away from Harvard or
Yale. Chicago, Michigan or Wisconsin, or
even the smaller colleges.
But the case would be different If 1t were
given separate character all its own, and
this is what DR.. Harper favors when he
speaks of a school of research to be CEN
tered about and associated with the Smith
sonian Institution. Such a school would
be the common meeting place for gradu-
ates of many universities who might wish
to pursue postgraduate courses where
there was an immense scientific equip
ment So. too. there would be peculiar
encouragement in Washington for carry
ing on postgraduate studies in interna-
tional law and diplomacy. The associa-
tons of the place, the library facilities
with the wealth of original documents
would have an unmstakable and very
great value. If. then, any national insti-
. tuition of learning is desirable, 1t is for
the advanced work of nature students in
special branches. whether 1t be called q
university or not.

All these universities or proposed uni

by the influence of an entire,y non-sectar-
ian university, as a national university
would have to be. But such national uni

ual evolution from and around the Smith

pensive flourish of trumpets to begin a lob

party managers are rushing their applca-
tons. and Mr.. Hill is represented as willing
to make vide tour. Every state spells
Macedonia, and to every cry for help he is
anxious to respond.
But why should he leave New York. II
New York is Il debatable state and his in
fuence 50 great there. and go journey
ing into Georgia. Virginia, Tennessee and
Illinois? What may he be expected to ac-
complish in those states-for Mr.. Bryan?
Surely Georgia and Virginia. with their
election laws. are safe for the democratic
ticket. And why should Mr.. Hill be starred
in Illinois and Indiana to the neglect Of
New York and New Jersey?
Is the Hill itinerary being arranged with
a view to 1904, rather than to the present
year of grace? Is there feeling among
certain democrats that Mr.. Bryan Is as good
as done for, and that 1t is not too soon to
consider and arrange for reorganization
when populism shall have spent its force in
the party? And Is Mr.. Hill to be the
Moses to lead the brethren back home af-
ter their long period of populist captivity?

chest and asked himself and the country,
why should not New York furnish the

so he announced his candidacy. There
were some smiles. but there was also some
applause. and for time the Sulzer boom
held It's place with all the other booms.
Even Mr.. Bryan treated 1t with respect.
As we know now. the Sulzer boom was
born to die. 1t could not live. 1t contained
within itself the elements of its own de-
struction. Mr.. Suffers bare appearance On
the scene and his soliciting Of votes after
the Tammany fashion were sufficient to put
an end to all of his pretensions. And so he
petered out. But there Is no excuse for
levity on the part of his own people. They
are responsible for him. and should uphold
and comfort, rather than deride, him in
the hour of his humiliation.

Mr.. Hill and 1904.

The nomination OF David B. Hill for Vice
President was urged on the Kansas City
Convention as a means of securing New
YORK state for the democracy. His former
suC eSses al home. his acknowledged ca
j.: .ty as an organizer. and his industry
a campaigner. were all cited to show
J. +" wise 1t would be TO put him on the
III Ket with Mr.. Bryan. MIR. Croker. with
h the slightest suggestion of smile on
hi face. said that tine nomination of Mr.
Hi would heal ali party differences in
the state; and he doomed his enemy with
Eusto.
The scheme failed. Mr.. Hill gently but
firmly resisted tie pressure. He declared
that his nomination would not be best for
the party. He did not refer TO the strength
accredited to him at home. He seemed TO
accept the statement made on that point
al a fact He spoke OF the party in its
national relation. But while declining this
honor. Mr.. Hill accepted the Bryan plat
FORM, seconded the nomination of MIR. Bry-
an for first place. and pledged his unquali-
ned support to the work of the convention.
That seemed to insure for the party all
the strength Of which he stood possessed in
New York In this contest The expectation
seemed authorized that Mr.. HIM would now
go home. take charge of the local cam
paign. and carry the state for Bryan and
Stevenson. He would do for another I'M
scs;lShly what he would easily have been
al 20 do for himself.
But II one may believe current gossip Mr.
Hills part in tho campaign is to be played
outside OF New York. They want him in
TIE middle states, In the southern states
