Two stories of Huxley.

Recently l heard two stories of the late
Prof. Huxley, which are too good to be
allowed to pass readily into the limbo
reserved for the witty sayings and Incl
dents connected with the lives even of
great men, says a writer In the London
Chronicle Huxley had been lecturing
at a certain institution which shall be
hameiess but which, l may say, is gen
orally esteemed to represent the focus Of
a certain kind of metropolitan culture
Among the audiences which attend the
projections at this center of thought there
appears certain fashionable element.

There is no doubt as to Mr.. Bryan's po-
sition in respect to the proposition 20 re-
organize the Democrats party. He made
it clear at the banquet OF the Chicago
Bryan League on Tuesday night So far
as he can influence the party il will stand
in the next national campaign for just
what 1t stood in the campaign OF 1900.
There is only one declaration in the Kan
sas city platform about which he has
any doubt, and that Is the one on the
money question. Judging from his utter
ances on Tuesday night he would be will
ing to admit that the gold standard is
now proving itself to be a good thing for
the country. and that he was mistaken
in 1886 and 1890 in what he said in support
Of silver. He did not of course admit
that he was mistaken. but he said that
whether the money question would figure
prominently in future campaigns would
depend upon circumstances. That was
tantamount to saying that the demand
for free silver was now practically dead.
but that it might be revived in the event
of the coming of hard times
1t is clear that Mr.. Bryan regards him
self as the champion of human rights in
a battle against the greed of plutocracy.
He has been harping on that one idea
ever since he has been the header of the
Democratic party. and he win continue to
harp upon it, He has said 50 much about
it that in the minds of a good many men
there is a suspicion that unless he puts
a strong curb on himself he will go fur
Their outside Of ancient landmarks OF
Democracy than the Democratic party
would be willing to follow him.
one thing that is certain is that he mas
no sympathy with the movement said to
he engineered by Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.
Whitney, Ex-senator Hill, Mr.. Don NJ.
Dickinson and others for the reorganiza-
ton Of the Democratic party. He doesn't
propose that men who have been practi-
cally outside of the party during the past
four years shah take charge Of it and
shape its policies 10 suit themselves. He
is willing that they shall come back into
the party. and. after they nave gained a
standing in it by their efforts in its be-
half. have something to say as to what
49, 1870 anu ~ 'ANiPitS sliaiA DC
Mr.. Bryan talks as if he were still che
dominating influence in the party, and
doubtless it is as well to admit that,
though a twice beaten candidate he is
still a power in the political world, and
has a following that it likely to stick to
him as long as he advocates the ideas
which have furnished the text for his
speeches since he was brought into ma
tional prominence al Chicago in 1896 That
he hopes to lead the party again there
is not much room for doubt, but the forces
which were against him prior to the
meeting of the last national convention
will be far more active and influential
when the next national convention of the
! party meets.

pomp's Fourth o'JuIy speech.

When Representative Kluttz of North
Carolina takes a seat in the Democratic
cloak room. the congenial spirits begin
to gather, for he is one OF the best story
tellers in the House, says the Washington
Post. The fireside gossip and everyday
events of the Southern people are inter-
esting TO him, and humorous phases of
life appeal to him.
Just after the Civil War, in 1855" said
he yesterday to a company Of listeners
tine then recently emancipated negroes
held great Fourth OF July celebration
in my town, an enormous concourse gath
erins for that purpose. The orator of the
occasion was a white man, a local en-
pioye Of tne Freedmen's Bureau, who
while possessed of great fiuency of speech
aud some native oratorical power, had
wonderful faculty for jumbling up all the
great names and events of which he had
ever heard. l still recollect the opening
sentences Of his speech, and, as l after
ward told him, they are simply match
less.
Ny colored fellow-citizens, he began,
we have occasion 40 be proud OF the
Fourth of July. Hit was on the Fourth
OF July seventeen hundred and ninety-six,
that Christopher Columbus landed on
Plymouth Rock and proclaimed freedom,
liberty and independence to all mankind.
And what was they doing down here in
Nirginny at THAI time? They had thar
foot on the black mans neck, holIerin',
Sick senter tyrannibus."
My colored fellow-citizens, this is a
great country. II is the proudest nation
the sun ever shin upon; but of these Dim
merkrats sit into power here, they'll do
like they done in Rome. Look at Rome
once the proud master of the land and
mistress of the seas, with her once proud
citizens which was Caesar Olympus, De
mosthenes, and others too tedious to
mention, aud these Dimmerkrats got into
power thar and what is she to-day? Over
run by Greeks, Canadians and other saw
ages"
Prolonged and vociferous cheering. ;"

Surprising that Jan. 1, 1900, was the

that date as their wedding day, says the
New York Tribune. The ceremony was

twentieth century would not dawn until
1901. Thereupon they agreed to keep the

it is said, the bridegroom made a wager
with his bride that she was incapable OF
keeping the secret for year She won
the wager, and on Thursday the first

It Is doubtful If there is a member u
the House whose sole purpose in public
matters is to 90 what is best for the
country. who does not think that tina.
body now contains as many members as
it should have. And yet the House has
passed the Burleigh apporionment bill
which increases its membership by pro-
viding for twenty-nine additional menn-
bers.
The hopkins bill-the bill framed by
the Census Committee-makes no in
crease in the number Of members. 1t is
based on the idea that the House is now
fully big as il ought to be-that, in
fact, it Is too big to be handled success
fully. Before the appoftionment question
came up it was the very general senti-
ment among Congressman that the hes.
interests of che country would be served
by reducing instead OF increasing the
number of the members OF the House.
What then is the reason for the pass
age Of the Burleigh instead Of the Hop
kins bill? The only reason apparent at
present is the desire Of some of the mem
bers 90 get one or more additional mem
bers for their respective states, and they
had sufficient influence to get a ma or-
ity of the House to vote with them. For
a political advantage the interests of the
country were ignored.
The statement was made in the dis
patches yesterday that the Burleigh bill
had the support of the senators from sew
eral Northern states who favored the
larger membership. And why did they
favor it? Was it not because it would
give the North a sim greater advantage
than it now has in the electoral college
and in Congress2 1t is true that the South
ern states get few of the increased
number of members, but an inspection of
the states which will have increased rep
resentation in Congress and the electoral
college, in the event that the bill be-
comes a law, shows that the South gets
an increase of representation of only nine
members, unless West Virginia is classed
as a Southern state, in which case the
number is ten, while the North gets an
increase of twenty members, or nineteen
if West Virginia is counted for the South.
Such an increase would give a tremen-
dous advantage to the Republican party
in close presidential election. Twenty
of the twenty-nine increase would go to
states which cast their electoral votes for
MIR. Mckinley 1t looks, therefore, as il
the question of representation for the next
ten years would be determined by party
consideration rather than by the best in
terests Of the country.
There does not appear to be any ground
for hoping that the Senate will refuse to
concur in the action of the House. The
senatorial influence for the Burleigh
bill which was so potent in the House
will, in all probability, be equally as po'
tent for that bin in the Senate.
