Custom has made It law in Nebraska to
choose one Senator from north and another
from south of the Platte Haner. Hinshaw.
Thompson. Field and Lambertson come from
south OF the Platte and Rosewater, Meiklejohn,
Mercer, Crouase and Green from the other side,
One means of removing q disturbing element
from the tight has been proposed that finds
much favor among Republicans anxious 10 re-
tain harmony in the party. That Is TO secure
for Mr. Rosewater appointment to some
foreign court. BY birth Mr. Rosewater is
Bohemian. and II is suggested that should the
place Of Minister to Austria be offered 10 him
he might willingly drop out o. the Senatorial
fight. Nebraska Republicans will unite in
urging John L. Webster for the place OF John
W. Ciriggs as Attorney General Of the United
States Webster and Rosewater are political
enemies of long standing. and the candidacy OF
both for the place s viewed with ConSidera-
hle apprehension by those who wish 70 keep
the fight within the party. Faction fighting
would, it is feared. throw the State back into
the hands of the Democrats OF Fusionists.

BRYAN THEIR FRIEND.
Philippine Insurgents Trying to
Hold Out Until He Is
Elected.

A dispatch from Lincoln, Neb, Col.
Bryans capital, to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat is an instructive commentary
on Col. Bryan's campaign against i'm
perialism. Capt. j. II. Culver, of the
Thirty-second regiment of United
States volunteers, is now at his home in
Milford. Ncb.. on leave of ab.ence. He
is a veteran of the civil war and is de-
scribed as a conservative man. He says
ti'sr ;he insurgent army is divided into
small bands, which "have been instruct
ed by Aguinaldo to hold out in small
parties, harass the Americans and carry
on a bushwhacking warfare until after
the fall election, when they expect their
friend Bryan 70 be elected. Sryan'S
name is as we'll known to them as the
name of AEuil,aldo, because of the pub
lication of extracts from his speeches
in the Tagalo language and the free
distribution of them"
The admiration of AguinaId1 for
Bryan, the democratic party and the
rest of the anti-imperialist tagrag is
well known. The necessarily delusive
hopes of an Aguinaldian victory in the
United States have been and are the
chief support of the remnants of rebel
lion in the Philippines. Wherever Agui-
naldo is hiding or running, he knows
that his only friends are the democratic
party and the Atkinsonians. Undoubt-
cdly he eXaggerates their Importance
as they eXaggerate his. But he has
right to take such allies as he can find.
The position of an American political
party and an American political leader
that are regarded by the enemies of the
United States as their friends and their
reliance is not honorable or fortunate.

DEMOCRATS AND STRIKES.
Efforts of Calamity HowIers to Foo
ment strife Among Labor
ing Classes.

The news which comes from Wash
ington, TO the effect that democrats
high in the national councils of the
party are trying to foment labor
troubles, with the purpose of inaugu-
rating an epidemic of strikes during the
coming summer, should not be sur
prising.
While it is not likely that there is
anything political in the present strike
OF the machinists, it is undoubtedly
true that the followers of Bryan hailed
the announcement of a possible general
industrial tie-up with joy. The demo-
cratic party thTives on that sort of
thing. Eight years ago it made and
won its national campaign on the issue
OF the Homestead strike, and fourycars
later it appealed to the passions and
prejudices of the people on the issue of
hard times. A series of big strikes dur
ing the coming summer would give Bry-
an and the democratic orators an un-
limited supply of ammunition, and they
would use it to the best possible adj
vantage. That is why the leaders of
the party will do their utmost to fo-
ment labor troubles and create feel
ing of unrest among the people. They
are willing to go to any lengths to de-
stroy prosperity by upsetting business
and industrial conditions, if they can
thereby gain an advantage at the polls.
On this account manufacturers who
wish the present conditions to continue
should use their utmost endeavors to
maintain pleasant relations with their
employees. This is not the time for an
industrial war, and it should be avoided
by all honorable means that can be ems
ployed. If the democrats are trying to
promote an epidemic of strikes in the
interest of that party they should be
checkmated by the employers of labor,
if that can possibly be done.-Cleve-
land Leader.

Does Not Depend Upon Congress.

Washington, April 1.-THE war de-
partment yesterday complied with
the recent resolution of the house
calling for an opinion relative to the
extension of the constitution over
Porto Rico. The opinion was given
in May, 1899. After referring to
Spain's cession of the island the opin-
ion says: "Thereupon the territory
conveyed became a part of the United
States and as such subject to the con-
stitution. No further action by con-
gress was possible. The constitution
does not depend upon congress for
authority in any part of the United
States. The reverse of the proposi
ton is the fact

Is one of the fundamental rights of

have congress bombarded with petit

his admission, piled in front of the
speakers desk, made n larger load
than Il horse could draw. Sometimes
petitions are presented in picturesque
form. The collar makers of Troy,
during q tariff debate, once submitted
u great book shaped like a coffin,
which contained thousands of sigma

pushed into the house in a wheelbar-
row, to give dramatic effect to the
outburst of popular opinion which
they were supposed to represent.
Nevertheless, says Youths Companion
n simple letter from a constituent to
his representative, which bears evi-
dence of having come spontaneously
from the writer, sometimes exerts as
much real influence as a million sig
latures obtained by organization, and
affixed to petition as a result of per-
sonal solicitation.

1t took less than a second for him
to send the apple flying toward the

EARNED THE VICTORIA CROSS.
Gallant Deed OF "a Wisconsin Soldier
of Fortune Wins for Him Il Rare
Distinction.

Chicago, April ia special to the
Chronicle from Kenosha, Wis, says:
Il letter has been received in this city
under date of Johannesburg, South
Africa, stating that Charles j. Spruce,
a former resident of this city, has
been decorated with the Victoria
cross for bravery on the field of bat
tie while fighting against the Beers
near Ladysmith.
Spruce $ a typical soldier of for
tune. Many years ago he went to
South Africa and was one OF the orig
inal Jameson raiders. Later he re-
turned to this city and remained till
five years ago, when he returned to
johannesburg. AS soon as the war
broke out he enlisted as a volunteer
and became a member of one of the
companies of the British light horse.
The deed which won Spruce the
honor of the Victoria cross was the
saving OF the life of an officer in the
British army. Spruce and number
of his comrades had been sent out to
stop the advance of small body of
Beers, but, wnen the parties met, the
Beers were largely in the MAJORITY
The British were fighting in trenches
and during the advance of the Beers
one of the companions of Spruce fell
wounded in n temporary trench. The
victory of the Beers was complete and
the British soldiers fed, leaving their
wounded comrade in the ditch. This
was seen by Spruce and at the risk of
his life he returned to the trench and,
throwing aside his arms, carried the
soldier TO n place of safety.
