part without presenting him to the two
prettiest girls he had seen in a year.
'Now, LOOMS, just as quick as pos

Hush, Dean, of course, I'll stand by

How many a project for the morrow

Not ten minutes later Folsom and
Burleigh came strolling together to
the little tent. Ashamed of his appar-
emily unjust accusation, Folsom had
begged the quartermaster's pardon
and insisted on his coming with him
and seeing the young people before
driving back to town. The horses
were being groomed at the picket line.
The western sun was low. Long shad-
ows were thrown out over the sward
and the air was full of life and exhila-
ration. The somber fears that had OPP
pressed the quartermaster an hour
earlier were retiring before a hope
that then he dare not entertain.
"You-you stood by me like a
trump, Burleigh," old Folsom was say
ing, "even after I'd abused you like
thief. If I can ever do you good turn
don't fail to let me know"
And Burleigh was thinking then and
there how desperately in need of a
good turn he stood that minute. What
if Folsom would back him? What if
But as they came in full view of the
picket line beyond the row of tents,
the majors eagerly searching gaze was
rewarded by sight that gave him a
sudden pause. Halted and examining
with almost professional interest the

Lieut.. LOOMS and Jessie Dean were in

he opened and then read with starting

"'Why. what's the matter?' I asked,

Evidence That the NebrasiSan Does
Not Know When He Is
Beaten.

Mr.. Bryan's recent speech in Lin
coin, his first formal public express
sion on politics since mis- defeats
virtually repetition of the opinions
he expressed after his defeat four
years ago. He declared then that the
campaign was but ''the first BATTLE"
and he now reaffirms that, as ''princi-
pies live" and an election cannot
change principles, however much it
determine their application, the policy
which he represented will be still
maintained and striven for. In his
new paper, the Commoner, Mr.. Bryan
means to expound and uphold his
views, becoming thus factor in the
creation Of party sentiment.
According to Mr.. Bryan's recent,
supporters the late campaign was the
last chance for redemption for a land
ito fastening ills a prey" The Lin
coin speech discloses that the decisive
battle, in Mr. Bryan's view, has yet
to be fought. He refuses to admit
that the election of Mckinley twice
in succession means a steadfast oppO-
sition to free silver. How, then, does
he explain the result? How does he
explain his own large popular vote,
which was gained in campaign
avowedly made upon the issue of
anti-imperialism, and which, in the
minds of many well-qualified observ-
ers, was cast in spite of reservations
as to the Bryan silver policy?
Has Mr.. Bryan learned nothing as
the result of two decisive defeats? His
position may be attributed very just
ly to the intense ardor and the sim
cerity with which he clings to his
views, to the exclusion of all consid-
erations of practical conditions or eX-
pediency. His honesty in this posi-
ton is unquestioned, and in sticking
to the path of duty as he sees it no
one can condemn him., But it is to
be regretted that the plain fact
that the American people are
afraid of fantastic economic and
financial schemes and will not ex-
pertinent with them should not have
been grasped by Mr.. Bryan. The cam
paign of 1896 may nave been but a
FIRST battle;" similarly, the cam
paign of 1900 may be regarded as
second battle. After what number of
unsuccessful battles will Mr.. Bryan
be content to admit that the judg-
ment of the majority is unalterably
against his financial theories Chi

NO FRIEND IN THE LOBBY.
Senator Hanna's Shipping Bill LIS Not
Viewed with Favor by For
eiSn Companies.

When Senator Hanna was informed
of the extensively circulated report
that a powerful lobby was working
in Washington to bring about the
passage of the shipping subsidy bill,
he replied that the only lobby of
which he knew anything was that
employed by foreign steamship COM
panies to defeat the bill if possible.
There was no desire on the part of
the friends of the bill to force it
through, he said; they wished it to
become law on it's merits.
Those persons who pretend to re-
gard Senator Hanna as a man who is
actuated by Interior motives in all
that he does or says will proceed to
sheer at this statement of his, just
as they have been sneering at every
thing that he has said on any sub
ject. They will impute to him disre-
gard for veracity, in accordance with
their habit But fair-minded persons,
whether they are of Mr.. Hanna's po-
litical party or not, will recognize and
appreciate the force of what he says.
The foreign steamship companies
which are at present receiving some
thing like a hundred millions of dol
lars each year for furnishing trans
portation to American commerce are
naturally the ones most interested in
the bill. It's passage means the grad
ual, and ultimately total, loss of i'm
mense revenue. To existing Ameri-
can steamship companies the passage
of the bill means but a moderate in
crease of revenue, limited in duration
and liable to decrease during it's con-
tinuance. Does anyone believe that
American companies consider it
worth the while to engage high
priced lobbyists to make efforts to
promote the bill, which efforts would
be likely to defeat their intended pur-
pose rather than to accomplish it?
Does anyone doubt that the foreign
companies will put forth every effort
and go to large expense, in order to
defeat the measure if possible?
The eyes of the American people
will be upon those who vote against
the bill when the vote is taken; not
upon those who vote for it-Albany
Journal.
UThose democrats who are saying
that if ''the Cleveland crowd" comes
back in the democratic party they
must take back seats may Overesti-
mate the number of such seats. The
Cleveland crowd was numerous enough
to insure Mr.. Bryan's defeat in two

THE GIRL WHO SMILES.

rhe wind was east, and the chimney
smoked,
And the old brown house seemed dreary,
For nobody smiled, and nobody joked,.,
The young folks srumbled, the old folks
croaked,
Then opened the door, and a girl came in;
Oh, she was homely-very;
Her nose was pug, and her cheek was
thin,
There wasn't dimple from brow to
chin,
Bat her smile was bright and CHEEKY.
She spoke not a word of the cold and
damp,
Nor yet of the gloom about her,
But she mended the fire, and lighted the
lamp,
And she put on the place a different
stamp
From that it had had without her.
Her dress, which was something in sober
brown,
And with dampness nearly dripping,
She changed for bright, warm, crimson
gown,
And she looked so gay when she so came
down
They forgot that the air was nipping.
They forgot that the house was a dull
old place,
And smoky from base to rafter,
And gloom departed from every face
AS they felt The charm of her mlrthful
grace,
And the cheer of her happy laughter.
Oh, give me the girl who will smile and
sing
And make all glad together!
To be plain or fair is a lesser thing,
But a kind, unselffsh heart can bring
Good cheer in the darkest weather.
