BuRLHIdH BILL PASSED.
House Representation Increased From 5S7 to
$3.50 Members.

Washington (SpeciaD After one Of
the most interesting discussions heard
during the present session the House
Of Representatives by vote Of 1866 to
l02, passed what is known as the Bur
leigh bill and which increases the rep
resentation in the popular legislative
branch from 357 to 386
Ever since the reassembling of Con-
gress the question OF reapportiOnment
has been under consideration, and at
times the debate was quite acrimOni-
Gus. It began with an attempt to draw
party lines upon a resolution aimed at
those Southern States in which the re-
quirements practically disfranchised
the cOlored voters. The conservative
members, however, backed by the ad-
ministration, frowned down any legis-
lation which was intended to cut down
representation in that section and the
dght thereupon narrowed down to the
basis and to the total membership of
the House.

Mr.. BRYAN SPEAKS.
LOng-ExpeCted Address Delivered at
Jackson Day Dinner.

Omaha Especial AT the Jacksonian
Clubs banquet in this city the defeat
ed Democratic Presidential candidate,
the Hon. w. J. Bryan, made the first
speech bearing on the political situa-
tion in the country since the election
November 6.
In the opinion of many, who expect
ed Mr.. Bryan to explain much in that
speech the address was a disappoint-
ment
The speech before the club, in brief,
Is as follows:
'I do not take as personal the eulo-
gies offered to me, but rather to my
connection with the Democratic party"
Il would rather continue to lose,
said he, than to surrender any of the
principles for which we have fought.
The situation was as dark in 1872 as
now, hut we honestly won in 1876. We
are still in the right The platform
that was right when written in Kan
s. City is right now"
fr Bryan said the position of the
GemocraticpartyO on the money question
was vindicated when the Republican
party decided that it was necessary to
increase the money circulation. He ar
raigned the Republican party for what
he termed hypocrisy on the trust ques
ton and the other planks Of its plat
form. He insisted that the Democratic
party was the conservative party and
that the people would soon understand
1t in this manner.
Referring to party reorganization, he
said.
when a man is divorced from his
wife he no longer looks after the well
fare of his wife until he is remarked
to her"
Mr.. Bryan predicted a regeneration
Of the party and victory in 1904.

Or pulled his sisters hair.

Ibe @lo Canoe.
BY General albert pike.

Where tho rocks gray and the shore is steep,
And the waters below look dark and deep
Where the rugged pne in its lonely pride,
Leans gloomily over the mutky tide,
Where the reeds and rushes are long and rank,
And the weeds grow thick on the winding bank,
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day through
There lies at its moorings the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like seabirds wings that the storms had lopped,
And crossed on the railing, one DER one,
Like the folded hands when the work is done;
While busily back and forth between,
The spider stretches bis silvery SCREEN
And the solemn owl with his dull "too-hoo,"
Settles down on the side Of the old canoe.
The steth, half sunk In the slimy wave,
Rots slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss creeps Ger its dull decay,
Hiding It's mouldering dust away;
Like the hand that plants DER the tomb flower;
Or the ivy that tnantles the falling tower;
While many blossom of lovliest hue
Springs up DER the stern of the old canoe
The currentless waters dead and still,
But the light wind plays with the boat at will;
And lazily in and out again
1t floats the length Of the rusty chain,
Like the weary march OF the hands Of time,
That meet and part at the noontide chme
And the shore kissed at each turning anew,
By tile dripping bows Of the old canoe.
Oh, many q time. with careless hand,
have pushed it away from the pebbly strand,
Aud padded it down where the stream quick,
Where the whirls wild and the eddies thick,
And laughed as leaned DER the rocking side,
And looked below in the broken tide
To see that the faces and boats were two,
That were mirrored back from the old canoe
But now, as lean DER the crumbling side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that see there is graver grown,
And the laugh that hear has soberer tone,
And the hands that lent to the light skif wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things.
But love to think of the hours that sped
As rocked where tie whrls their white spray spread,
Ere the blossoms waved, or the green grass grew
Ger the mouldering stern of the old canoe
