DICKINSON IN CRITICAL MIND

NEBRASKA DEMOCRACY.
Objects to Its Platform Being Offered
to National Convention-Jones
Expresses His Opinion

Washington. March Ex-Postmas
ter General Don NJ. Dickinson said last
night of the Nebraska Democratic plat
form: 81 had hoped that the Demo-
cratic party would be allowed to write
its platform this year. When the Lin
coin party begins by re-adopting the
Chicago platform entire, and then pro-
ceeds to reassert it in particulars, and
we are given to understand that this
platform is TO be offered to the Demo-
Gratis later on, perhaps we are to be
disappointed"
Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman
of the national committee, said: II
don't know why the newspapers should
say that this is Mr.. Bryan's platform,
but think 1t a very admirable express
sion OF what Democrats all over the
country are saying and thinking Just
now. The plank about the initiative
and referendum is perhaps an excep-
ton. Within certain limits, the refer
endum is a good thing. don't believe.

'As to the plank about imperialism.

osiuons, but when it comes to protect

we have protected the republics Of Cen

Ject which requires consideration

Otherwise, l regard the platform as a

ers Of the two great parties debate
Whether or no it is to the best inter-
est of the people to vote the Republi-

man and Hon. Robert c. Lund and
Samuel c. Miles were timekeepers.

ton, saying just as long as the flag
waved here it would there. c. O, Whit

OF tariff, finance and also soup kitchens,
Which last he seemed peculiarly we'll

Whittemore closed the debate He
clenched his fists and said he had been

CHANCES OF M'KINLEY
Why the Rev. Mr.. Bliss Believes He
Will Be Elected.

New York. March 21.-Rev. W. D. P.
Bliss, the Christian socialist lecturer,
spoke last night before the Social Re-
form club on ''The Social Reform Move
ment in the Vest and predicted the
reelection of President Mckinley, in
consequence of an immense vote that
the social democracy will, he feels sure,
poll in the middle western states.
The people in the far western states
continued Mr.. Bliss, are growing tired
OF new parties. and many are thorough
~ disguised with the Populist party,
whose machine is becoming corrupt,
Although DebS spoke to packed houses
IN Los Angeles and was warmly greet
ed, the feeling against new parties was
predominant, and there was a great
inclination toward Eryan. Bryan, the
lecturer believed, would get a tremend-
Gus majority in the far western states.
but Debs would get an overwhelming
vote in the middle western states and
the east, with the result that Mckinley
would be elected.
AT the same time, Mr.. Bliss noticed
a great feeling of unrest in the west.
and he believed that the people were
preparing for some great movement.
The farmers were thoroughly tired of
the trusts, as they were entirely at the
trusts mercy and had to buy and sell
at the trusts prices.

WHEELER CALLS ON ROOT.
Matter Of His Leaving the Army Is
Yet Unsettled.

Washington, March 21-General
Wheeler called at the war department
this morning and officially reported his
return from the Philippines to Secre-
tary Root, in accordance with the or
oers of the department IL was ex-
pected that the question OF General
Wheeiel|S future military status would
be determined at this meeting. Secre-
tary Root was so busy. however, with
other important questions that it was
concluded best TO defer the conSidera-
ton of General Whceler's case to a
more Opportune time. The matter will
probably be settled within a few days.
Meanwhile the resignation Of General
Wheeler from the volunteer army will
be held in allegiance and the question
as TO his eligibility to a seat in con-
gress will be held up pending the set
Element Of his military status. There
is a strong desire TO put the names of
General Wheeler and General Lee on
the retired list Of the army with the
rank Of brigadier general, but the exc
cution Of this plan requires special leg
islatiOn. Existing law prohibits man
81 years Of age from serving on the
active list in the army. General Lee
is over 81 and General Wheeler viii be
GA in September. Only the latter,
therefore. is eligible 10 appointment in
the regular army. The short time he
would have to serve in case of appoint
ment is made an argument against
such action.
Moreover. the desire Of the president
is to honor both of the distinguished
volunteer officers in the same way.
With the consent Of congress it would
be possible to appoint them brigadier
generals on the retired list. Such ac-
ton would enable them to relinquish
their present duties and insure their
future welfare.
Following the precedent established
in the case Of General Shafter, General
Wheeler may continue on active duty
indefinitely under his volunteer COM
mission, but in case Of his transfer to
the regular army he would be obliged
10 relinquish active duty upon reach
ing the age Of 81 years. There is rea-
son to believe that General Wheeler
would be willing to forego his rights TO
q seat in congress under existing con-
ditiOns, providing he was assured of an
appointment to the regular army. AS
an officer on the retired list, there
would be no question as to his eligibil
ity to a seat in the national legislature
in case his former constituents desired
TO elect him.

Mr. Gaines speeches covered much tho

Mr.. Roberts received a magnificent
greeting when he walked into the house
at Hyrum. He commenced his talk by
a brief discussion Of the silver ques-
ton. and then analysed in q masterful
manner the much Wanted Republican
prosperity, showing that what prosper
ity we are enjoying is not due to Re
publican management, but TO the
money expended in the war and Gun
increase of trade with the Philippines
and other countries that we have con-
quered. This prosperity is not perma-
nent, 1t is not commensurate with our

the prices Of farmers products with
