Wall Street quotations frequently became the

of the United States into the ranks of creditor
nations signifies a change in the times. Ever
since the war with Spain the United States
Government has pursued undeviatingly a world

Washington, Dec. 26-An appended report to Gen

rather startling facts regarding the introduction

the report, there no less than thirty thousand

BRYAN'S CONSOLATION PRIZE.
WILL HAVE AS MUCH INTELLECTUAL EN-
JoYMENT AS EDITOR AS HE COULD
HAVE HAD IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

Lincoln Neb.. Dec 20 (speciaD-The first an
nuaI banquet of the Jefferson Club held at
the Lincoln Hotel this evening William Jen-
nings Bryan was the guest of honor. The club
was formed to assist Mr.. Bryan to gain his pot
ical ambitions w. NJ. Morning, a Lincoln attor-
ney and bosom friend of Mr.. Bryan, voiced the
latter's sentiments in replying to a toast, Com
mercialism Menace to Liberty
Mr.. Bryan spoke of principles That Live"
In his address he stated that defeats had not
lessened his interest in political reform work,
but 1t seemed that he was destined to advocate
reforms rather than to execute them. Believing
this, he has arranged. he said. to start weekly
paper to be called The Commoner." Il am
sure" he added that an editorial position will
furnish much intellectual enjoyment as
could have had in the White House" He said
principles live through defeat and cited the
instance Of the continued fight of tariff reform
ers against the protectionists and the fact that
to-day free trade is an issue before the people
He dwelt on the success Of the gold standard
advocates, and argued that it had come through
persistent work. Shall we, whose cause is just"
he added, lose faith in our principles because
Of defeat? Must we now advocate an imperial
policy because our opponents have won? The
defenders of trusts did not lose heart when all
parties denounced combinations in restraint of
trade. Shall we give up the fight because monop-
oily has triumphed by stealth?"
In regard to his future Mr.. Bryan said;
Whether ! shall ever be a candidate for office
again is question which must be determined by
events. No one can speak with certainty of the
future, for ones destiny is not known until his
lifes work is complete I shall be content IL il is
my lot aid in the triumph of the principles while
others enjoy the honors and bear the responsibility
Of oflce. The holding Of public Office should be a
incident, and not the extreme aim, of the citizen
1t should not be an end, but the means for the
accomplishment Of a purpose
The principles for which we contended in the last
campaign still live, and who believe in them
must continue to fight for them An election does
not change principles II only determines what
principles snail for the time being be applied.
II We are successful in diVerting present tenden-
eies and in carrying the Government TO its o'd
tounoa tons We shall rejoice in the victory and
proht by the reforms secured. I am confident that
we shall ultimately win, but If the trend toward
plutocracy cannot be checked. it is still better that
We should be defeated in righteous undertaking

SENATOR sPooNER ON TREATY.
OFFENDED BY AMENDMENTS - THINKS
GREAT BRITAIN WILL ACCEPT THEM

GREAT BRITAIN WILL ACCEPT THEM.
Madison, wis., Dec. 20 (speciaD.-United
States Senator John c. spooner to-day declared
that the President and the Secretary of State
were not offended, so far as he knew. at the ac-
ton of the Senate in amending the Hay-Paunce-
fote Treaty. He also said he believed that the
treaty would be accepted by the Government Of
Great Britain, but if it were not accepted the
Clayton Bulwer Treaty would not long be al
lowed to block the construction of an American
canal.
1T would be very unfortunate Mr.. Spooner
continued, IF it should become the rule that
Senators to withhold amendments to pro-
posed treaties. lest the discharge of their duties
and the exercise Of their independent judgment
upon the subject be offensive to the American
negotiators of the instrument Such a rule
would require Senators to abdicate functions
with which they charged by the Constitu
tion and for the fearless exercise OF which they
are responsible to their immediate constituents
and to the country. 1t would nullify the
constitutional provision on the subject. and
practically constitute the Executive Depart
ment the sole treaty making power, which
under the Constitution. it is not. I ought
to say that outside newspaper gossip
1 have not known of any sensitiveness on the
part of the President or the Secretary of State
upon this subject. One thing is certain: II
seems to be settled that there must be a canal,
and that tie Tinted States shall build and main
tain it. Nothing in the amendments was in
tended to be offensive TO the Government of
Great Britain or should be considered offensive
by Great Britain. l hope and believe that the
amendnlents7 will receive the approval of that
Government. If it shall be otherwise, quite
certain that the CLAYTON -Bulwer Treaty will not
be permitted by the United States to prevent
the construction by the United States of a wa
terway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
