IGNORES TIE LESSON.
Defeat Seems to Have Had No
Disciplinary Effect Upon WaE-
jaw Bryan.

William j. Bryan lately made at
Omaha, Neb., the speech which, it was
announced, opens the Bryan campaign
for another nomination for the presi-
dency. Just as if he did not begin his
campaign for denomination as soon as
he was defeated in 1896. Since that time
Bryan has done nothing but declaim
against the gold standard in speeches
paid for at gold standard rates, al
though this has compelled some mat
tention to his former practice as a
lawyer and newspaper reporter.
Mr.. Bryan's latest salutatory reads
very much like continuance of his
campaign speeches of 1896. He still
sees nothing but ruin ahead of his
country because it prefers dollar dol
lars to Accent dollars. He has changed
his figure of speech. That is all As Mr..
Bryan has a large stock of figures of
speech. it is not difficult for him to
make that change. Labor hanging to
"the cross of gold" at Chicago, and clip
ping off large sections of that cross
for the weekly pay-envelope, has be-
come at Omaha "a captive to Europe's
golden chariot" but is still on the trail
of gold, just as much as if he were a
lecturer or a book writer. From the
cross to the chariot is getting a little
nearer to earth, but Bryan has not
got rid of his wheels yet.
Bryan sprang into notoriety with
one song, and he cannot refrain from
singing it. This is unfortunate for his
prospects, for it recalls his predictions.
The election of Mckinley was to mean
adversely; it has meant uneXampled
prosperity. The farmer was to lose his

SENATE IN A TURMOIL.
Dignity Is Forgotten by the LegisIa-
tors and Fierce DenunciatiOns are
Hurled at Mr. Pettisrew, of South
Dakota.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Debate in the
senate. ordinarily calm and dignified,
burst yesterday into passionate utter
ances and bitter recriminations. Sen
ators hurled denunciations one at an
other until the auditors quivered with
excitement.
The debate grew out of a phase of
the Philippine question and no scene
has been witnessed since the discus
sion of the war resolutions in the last
congress which, in sensational feat
ures, compared with that of Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Pettigrew, who has precipitated
nearly all of the debate upon the
Philippine question during the pres
ent session, sought to have read a
resolution embodying a document
written by Emilio Aguinaldo upon the
Filipino insurrection and containing
his version of the alleged recognition
of the Filipino republic by Admiral
Dewey.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
protested against printing the docu-
ment and read a letter from Admiral
Dewey in which that portion OF
Aguinaldo's statement relating to the
admiral was denounced as "a tissue OF
falSehOOdS.'
Mr.. Lodge said he preferred accept
ing Dewey's word to that of A2ulna'-
do and was satisfied the American
people would also.
In a passionate reply Mr.. Pettigrew
declared that Admiral Dewey had rec
ognized the Filipino republic and. al
though afforded an opportunity here
tofore to deny Aguinaldo's state
ments, had not done SO.
In an instant half dozen senators
were on their feet. Mr.. Hawley, the
senator from Connecticut, denounced
Mr.. Pettigrew's action as treason.
Senator Pettigrew was made the
target of singing arraignments by
Senators Spooner, Hawley, Sewell and
Gallinger. That the feeling was at n
pitch seldom noted in the senate was
evidenced by the pale faces of the
men who spoke.
Mr.. Jones dem, Ark) and Mr.. lei
Ter (Col.) endeavored to stem the tide
of protest and deep feeling by concil-
iatory speeches.
At the conclusion of the scene the
financial bill was taken up and dis
cussed.

TO MAKE NO MISTAKE.
Republican Presidential Electors Will
be Chosen by State Conventions.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Secretary
Dick. of the republican national com
mittee. is preparing to mail letters to
the chairmen of the state committees,
informing them that it is deemed bet
ter that all the presidential electors
this year should be nominated by
state conventions. Hon. Joseph Man
lev called the attention of the COM
nittee recently to a decision of the
Maine supreme court that, under the
provisions of the Australian ballot
law, the jurisdiction of nominating
convention must be as wide as the
jurisdiction of the Office represented
on the ticket.
In view. of this it was decided that
no loopholes should be left to contest
the rights of the presidential electors
70 cast their ballots. Conventions foc
congressional districts will be allowed
to designate the presidential electors,
as usual. but state conventions of the
republican party will be expected to
ratifv these nominations, that there
may be no question as to their valid
itv. Heretofore state conventions
have generally nominated only two
presidential electors.

the conspicuous place assigned to
them by the Bryan fiat. They were
closely inspected and weighed and
found wanting. In plain and COLO
quial English, they have petered out.
And what will the new keynote, or the
dominant chord, be? The loyal Bryan
ties will be sorely disappointed if their
leader shall fail to furnish sometAtSg
novel, fresh, inspiriting. But mag
netic" and resourccful as William Jen-
nings is, he is not performer of po-
litical miracles. What is the use of
crying for new issues where none can
be found? Issues, like poets, are born,
not made.
We understand the expectancy, hush
and avidity, but We fear Iisappoint-
ment. Silver, imperialism, trusts,
where are these once much-heralded
issues? There is the new financial bill,
but how can that be attacked without
regalvanizing free silver as an alterna-
tive? And that even Bryan himself
must shrink from. What will the key
note be?-Chicago Post.

A NEW NOTE FROM BRYAN.
The Nebraska POpOphOne Is Now
Giving Forth n Different
Sound.

Washington correspondents tell us
that democratic senator's and represent
atives are totally at sea with regard
to the dominant issues of their party,
and they are impatiently awaiting w.
j. Bryan's appearance at the capital.
Time was when these influential gentle
men rather resented the candidates
advice and direction, and if they are
now eager for his counsel and guidance,
their perplex;ty must be extreme in
deed. When they had issues, or thought
they had them-which is the same
thing, according to so good an author
ity as old Shakespeare-they expert
enced no difficulty in determining
which of them was preeminent and
overshadowing and which were second
ary. Now that they have a sickly and
wretched collection of back num-
bers" to choose from, they are anxious
for Bryan's support and leadership.
But the democratic politicians at
Washington will not have to remain in
suspense very long. The keynote-the
one hundredth. we believe-is to be
sounded tonight at the Jackson day
banquet of the Bryan league. The Ne
braska candidate will be the guest of
honor, and he is to have carte blanche,
oratorrcally speaking. He will have
unlimited time and free choice as to sub
ject. AS this is presidential year, eN-
ceptional interest is taken in the eX-
pected address.
Last year at the local Jackson ban
quet w. j. Bryan pushed the trust and
anti-imperialism issues to the fore
front. History tells us what their fate
has been. They have not remained in

1t is estimated that more than 4,50C
miles of new railroad were built in The
United States last year. This is nearly
so per cent. more than the new con
struction of 1898, and is more than twice
the average of the four preceding years.
Iowa took the lead in railroad building
last year, with 553 miles; Minnesota
came next, with 374 miles; then Arkan-

one-third of the total new mileage of

President N1ckinIcy's Proposal for
Pan-American Congress L. Approved
by Our Southern Sei@hbors.

Washington. Feb. 1.-Secretary Hay
has received assurances from all Of
the South American countries which
have diplomatic representatives in
Washington of the favorable reception
by them of President McKinley's sug-
gestion that a congress of pan-Ameri-
can nations be reconvened. this time
preferably at the City of Mexico, be-
cause the first congress was held in
Washington. The next step toward
the execution of the project probably
will be the extension by Mexico of
invitations to the nations of North,
South and Central America to partici-
pate in such a congress.
1t is the presidents expectation
that. aside from the great political adj
vantages that may be expected to fol-
low closer association Of the nations
of the three Americas, important COM
mercal and business opportunities
may be opened to the merchants of
the United States through the legis-
lation of the congress.
1t is the intention of this govern
ment to earnestly forward the project
for the establishment of an interna-
tionaI bank; TO adopt, if possible,
measures to simplify the customs
practices of the various nations; to
secure the universal acceptance of the
system of commercial nomenclature
and perhaps to push the construction
of the inter-continental railway. There
are other vast projects, too, such as a
universal arbitration scheme and a
uniform set of extradition laws and

A Lewiston (Me.) girl, who has never
tasted the weed and who dislikes the
smell of much-smoked pipe, has one
of the most remarkable collections of
tobacco pipes in the state. She began
to collect them when she was little
girl, and has kept up the fad, till now
she has a wonderful variety of them.
And what is more she has sent them
around the world for great men to
smoke. She has one that was smoked
by Bismarck, one by the prince of
Wales, and her pipes, which are all
new when she buys them, have been
smoked by many great men in Amer
lea. When her girl friends gather at
her house she brings out her pipes to
display and will not show them to
strangers. She fears notoriety, but real
ly her collection is remarkable.
