The Suffrage Question.
The table on citizenship, illiteracy
and education is regarded as specially
important as forming the basis of suf-
frage about to be conferred. Because
so many citizenships are still in sus-
pense. and for other reasons, the re-
turns are not quite complete. but the
conclusion is drawn that there will
be at least 100000 qualified native Gu
ban voters under the proposed basis
of suffrage. and as against this there
will be 55,767 Spaniards whose citizen
ship was in suspense when the census
was taken, less the number who have
since declared to preserve their Span
ish citizenship, and plus illiterate
Spaniards, not declared. who are the
owners of property. 1t is not believed
that there will be any great number
of the latter classes. as the total num-
Der of illiterate Spanish males over 81

of Cuban voters than was expected.

Tall men. as rule, have bodies out
of proportion to their lower limbs
that is. smaller than they ought to be-
with the natural result that they are
unable to bear fatigue or toscompete in
the struggles of life with lesser men
more, tremendously proportional. Ar
my experience bears out these observa-
lions. In long and fatiguing march
the tall men usually fall out first or
succumb to campaigning unless, as is
very rarely the case. they have well
knit and symmetrical frames. A sol
dier between 5 feet inches and S feet

Dead.

Jens Johansen passed quietly away
at his home couple of miles south of
Elkhorn last Wednesday evening and
was buried Saturday in the cemetery
at Elkhorn, the funeral services being
conducted from the church by Rev.
Wig. The deceased was a man but 40
years of age but has suffered severely
with asthma. He and his wife went
to Minnesota some time ago to visit
and were starting back when they
were caught in railroad wreck.
which hurried his death. He and his
wife had all the attendance it was
possible to receive, a doctor coming
with them as far as Manning. They
arrived there last Wednesday and
rather than wait six hours for train
they drove down TO Audubon where
they were met by his sons who took
them home, but he lived but three
hours after getting beneath his own
roof.
He was one OF the pioneers of the
county. He was born in Denmark
and came to this country when young
and soon settled where he now lives.
He has been a good worker and had a
good start in the world. He was a
liberal man and did not believe in
storing all he had but in having a
good time and living we'll. He was
honorable and trustworthy as was
shown by the large attendance at the
funeral. The business houses of Elk
horn closed during the ceremony and
the merchants gave beautiful wreath
as token Of their esteem.
Thus father and husband, kind
loving and true has gone to the great
spirit world beyond, waiting for the
time to welcome those who remain
to mourn over the dark mound Of
earth where rests the form of him
they loved.

And no such snow is seen /.

Barton County democrat., 1900-06-01

From now on the republican
politicians will be crying "have
confidence in our administra-
ton" Confidence! Yes, we are
a confding people. In 1896
thousands of republicans chad
confidence" that their leaders
were sincere in the claim that
the rep. party was the only real
friend of silver and would restore
it through international agree
ment." But they now see that
they have been ''confidenced. "
Thousands of working men had
confidence that the republicans
would increase their wages and
cheaper the prices of their ne
cessities. They also were bun
coed. Other thousands of farm
ers and producers hoped-had
conf1dence-that the republicans
would increase the prices of their
products and decrease the prices
of the machinery and necessaries
Of life they had to buy. They
too have found themselves glo-
riOusly reinecaboOd with cheaper
wheat and dearer machinery
How much longer will Hanna's
hangers-on be able to work theil
wholesale confidence game
upon the public, while they rot
in the postal department, tht
military department and thu
tariff and revenue department.

big of mind as we'll as of body.

There is the ruggedness of
truth in all his ways. He lives
simply and sometimes frugal1y,
not because he cares for money
or because he does not know
that there are other and more
eAtravagant ways Of living, but
because his tastes are simple.
The very simplicity of his life
and speech is a corollary of his
native dignity His quaint
points are the quaintnesses of
his country.
Like Lincoln. his peculiarities
are the signs of his pure and un-i
diluted Americanism. Nothing
can be more graceful than his un-I
affected, sincere home life. It
may be true that many of the
present elements of social life
in the White house would be mod.
fled if Mr.. Bryan should beelect-
ed president, but he would bring
to that place the glory Of a man
hood that it has not known for
many years. He will attract to
the White house scholars, states.
men and philosophers, rather
than money changers or political
harlots. And the humblest man
in the nation would have access
to the president.
l have met almost every great
man Of my own time in the prin-
cipal countries of the world, but
[ have never met greater man
than Mr.. Bryan. AS a rule, one
finds the idealist a man of frai1
body, physically incapable of
making a, continuous struggle.
But here is an incorruptible IDEAL
ist with the physical strength of
an OK. Nowhere in the world is
there to be found a more perfect.
combination Of mind, spirit and
body. The three are evenly bal
anced in the democratic leader
mental energy controlled by in
telligence, Imagination inspired
by philanthrophy, virility discip-
lined by virtue. He seems to
grow broader and deeper every
year. His religious convictions
are vital to him, yet but he
avoids religious discussions. He
seems to feel that religion is q
private thing between a man and
his God. eve are all trying to
cast out devils, he says, "and
each man works in his own way"
Four years ago Mr.. Bryan was
western man. Today he is
national-almost international.
Then he was an agitator; now he
is a statesman. His life and con-
duct are based on what he be-
llieves to be the truth, and moth
ing can induce him to abandon a
cause if he believes it to be right
eOus.
And yet," he said only a week
ago, II would be a fool if | did
not rejoice in the triumph of
right rather than in the triumph
of what I believe to be right. y

WILLIAMJ. RRYAN---THE MAN.

WILLIAM }. RkYAN---THE NAN.
The moral passion which dom
mates and enfolds Mr. Bryan's,
public life is also the key to his
private character. When Cicero
spoke the people said, Glow elo-
uuent is Cicero!" but when De-
mostheues spoke the people said,
''Let us go against Philip"
There is something about Mr..
Bryan that makes all who asso-
ciate with him more earnest,
more ready to make saGifices.
more indifferent to mere abuse
and more intensely and peculiar
II American. There are no Sc
erets in his life. To be with him
is like walking on the seashore
in the sunlight. At 40 he has
still the unsullied ideals, the un-
broken faith Of a boy. And any
man may be his comrade il he
will-nay, his very brother.
The other night in Chicago a
committee Of strangers called to
escort Mr.. Bryan to- a public
banquet. Mr.. Bryan went on
shaving himself before a mirror
while he talked to the committee
and presently his visitors were
busy putting the studs in his
shirt bosom. An hour or two
later he SCARED ont of himself in
a really great oration, lifting
his hearers to the supremest
heights OF patriotic thought-an
appeal for a republic SO just in
all it's ways, SO majestic in It's
virtue, that all the. nations Of
the world would turn to il as
the arbitrator OF their differences.
Mr.. Bryan is temperance incar-
nate. He loves literature rather
than art. the trout stream rath-
er than the theater, the farm
rather than the city, the small
church rather than the cathe-
dral. He loves men more than
books and books more than
money.
There was a time when Mr.
Bryan felt that some day the
crimes OF lawless wealth and
rapacious corporate power
against the toilers Of the coun-
try would bring on q physical
struggle, and in those days Mr..
Bryan was a gladiator, with
! the fierce unforgiving, spirit OF a
gladiator. But q new tender
ness Of spirit has come into his
Life. He seems filed with the
idea that love is the only uplift-
ing fofce IN the world, and that
floSe is as necessary and as natur-
Lad in politics and craftsmanship
as in private affairs.
