TILLMAN ON DEMOCRACY.

With Presumption in Talking
of the Party's Duty.


Omaha, Neb., Jan THE tenth annual
banquet of the Jacksonian Club of Ne
braska was held at the Millard Hotel to-
night. William J. Bryan responded to
the toast, Democracy and Senator Ben
jamin r. Tillman spoke on 1.-THE Demo-
cratic Party Its Duty and Destiny"
There were $50 enthusiastic banoueters
present.
Mr.. Tillman paid his respects to ex-
President Cleveland, who he said was
now trying to come forward and save the
party" He said he refused to compro-
mise with Mr.. Cleveland, and that it was
presumption to attempt to say what
would be the duty of the Democratic par
ty four years hence. He declared no one
could attempt to now say what should be
the policy of the party in 1904.
Our destiny" said he, must be de-
fined by the principles which have guided
the party since its foundation. -
E. V. Raley of Crete, Neb., who was
personal friend of Andrew Jackson, made
short address of .eulogism ON the dead
statesman.
Mr.. Bryan began his address at 1906
a. n. He referred pleasantly to Senator
Tillman, and said he was glad to have
the Democrats of Nebraska know more
of the senator than they were able to
learn through the press
Mr. Bryan asserted that he was by no
means out of politics and in each fol-
lowing campaign would find him arrayed
on the side of Democracy.
Il would rather continue 20 lose" he
said than to surrender any of the prin-
cipes for which we have fought The
situation was as dark in 1872 as now.
but We honestly won in, 1876. We are
still in the fight. The platform that was
right when written in Kansas City is
right now"

CUBANS ARE SATISFIED.
tranquility and Prosperity Exist in
Southern Part and No Desire
Expressed for n Change

Havana, Jan. 7.-Mr. r. B. Hawley, who
has just returned here from the southern
part of the island, reports that tran
quality and prosperity exist there, that
the people are satisfied with the Ameri-
can government of Cuba, and that no
desire is expressed for an experimental
change. The crops of the section are
large, the sugar crop now promising to
reach $4,000 tons, the best known in many
years.
The proposed constitution is not meet
ing with favorable reception. The con-
sensus of opinion is that it is topheavy,
involving too many governments, as
semblies. executives and other unneces-
sary officials. Moreover, it is believed
that such a scheme as is proposed would
mean an enormous expense. The feeling
is that great confusion would inevitably
follow the adoption of federalism. Bust
ness men fear the extortions of excessive
government. Radical notifications will
be insisted upon; and If these are not
made the commercial classes will urge
the indefinite continuance of American
intervention

MAYOR JACOB PHINIZY.
Augusta Now Has Solid Business
Man at Head of Affairs.

Man at Head of Affairs.
Augusta Ca, Jan. 7.-Mayor Jacob
Phinizy took the oath of office to-day at
u O'clock, and enters upon his admins
tration with the confidence and best
wishes of the community. For three
years past he has been chairman of the
Finance Committee of the City Council,
detail of the citys affairs.
As president of the Georgia Railroad
and Bank, and one of the largest real es-
tate owners and wealthiest men in the
community, he is recognized as the man
of affairs, thoroughly equipped for the
duties he enters upon. His inaugural
message deals with the financial condition
of the city, the large expenditures that
have been made during the past admin
instration in installing a new system of
waterworks and other extensive internal
improvements, and favors a progressive
but prudent and economical administra-
ton of public affairs.
The sensational feature of the meeting
was the retiring message OF Mayor Alfred
Martin, who reviewed the ordinances by
which the electric railway had gradually
got possession of all franchises in the
streets for nothing, and had been relieved
from all share in repairing and keeping
up the streets and bridges. He recon-
mended the repeal of this legislation, and
the requirement upon the electric railway
company to bear its share of expense in
maintaining the streets. He also attacked
the gas that is furnished by the same
company, and advocated an investigation
of the question of municipal lighting.
Mayor Martin was only mayor pro tenn
filling the vacancy caused by the death of
Mayor Robb, and was called to the may
Jor's chair from the Council board. He
now resumes his place as councilman from
the first ward, and will be in a position to
inaugurate some of the reforms he recon-
mended as mayor At to-night's meeting
of Council a resolution was introduced
calling for the employment of an expert
to investigate the lights furnished to the
city, and report if they filed the city's
contract.
