DOWN THE ALLEYS.
Carroll Institute Defeats Capital Bl.
Club in Interesting Contest.

An interesting bowling match came off
last night at the Capital Bicycle Club house
between the home team and the Carroll In
stitute five, the latter being the champions
of the District League All the available
standing room was taken up by the enthu-
siastic followers of both teams and the
applause and cheers over difficult shots
were almost continuous.
The visiting CAROLS couldn't get the
hang of the new alleys in the first game
and the Capital bowlers were somewhat
nervous. AS a result both teams bowled
under the 800 mark, but the CAROLS won
out by the score Of 7S5 to TO. In the
second game the CAROLS struck their true
gait and left their opponents away behind,
rolling up a score Of $50, while the home
team had to be content with I'll. The third
game was the best Of the evening and fur
nished lots of sport and excitement. The
Capitals were urged to do something for
their flag and country. and with the urging
and applause they ran up a splendid score
of S45, while the CAROLS trailed in the
rear with S42, margin of just three pins.
Rice of the CAROLS carried off the best
score figures of 213, and also had the best
average, 1T. Kicker of the Capitals did
the best work of his team, his average be-
ing 1872.
These same teams meet next week on the
alleys of the Carroll Institute and another
interesting contest is promised Following

VICINITY OF CITY HALL.
Paper Referring to old-Time Houses
and Their Occupants.

An interesting account was given last
evening at the meeting Of the Columbia
Historical Society by Mr.. Douglass Zevely
Of some of the old houses and the families
that occupied them in the vicinity of the
court house. or the city hall, as the build
ing was formerly known. Mr.. Justice Hag-
ner presided.
MT. Zeyely's paper gave the recollections
OF many who knew the locality in former
years and proved to be a valuable contri-
button to the history of the city. After q
discussion of the paper DIR. William TIM
dali and Major LOCKER spoke of some early
maps Of the city. The latter exhibited
tracings OF drawings which he had reason
to believe were the work OF Nicholas King.
and which showed the topography OF the
site of the city before the work Of grading
had been begun.
In addition these maps indicated all the
water courses of the locality as they ex-
listed in 1877.

Mr.. Bryan Saving Himself.

MIR. Bryan was quite right in refusing to
run for governor of Nebraska Success at
the polls would not have strengthened his
hold upon the national situation, while de-
feat would materially have weakened it.
His aspirations are all national. His inf1u-
ence is unique. There are a number of
able men who still adhere to him after his
two defeats for the presidency but not one
OF them could take his place if he were
effaced from the national equation. It IS no
vanity in him to- recognize this fact, and so
order his course as to keep himself in good
trim and in the front of the procession.
Burdened with the duties, of the governor
ship of Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan for the whole
OF two most important years would have
been at the greatest disadvantage in the
national field. Shortsighted in matters of
public policies, the Nebraskan has long.
clear vision when it comes to the personal
fortunes of number one.

They felt bitterly toward him, because af-
ter seeking and accepting SO much at their
hands he had refused to do anything for
silver The charge against him was in
gratitude.
The charge against Mr. Carlisle was much
stronger. 1t was that of apostacy- He
had when in Congress been the most bril-
liant and effective advocate on silver's side
One speech alone which he delivered in the
House had been more frequently quoted by
the friends of silver the stump than
any other deliverance on the subject. 1t
was a veritable arsenal, from which
whole army of small fry drew their weap-
ons. All that Mr.. Bland or MIR. Anybody
else had said carried not half the weight.
So that the Carlisle boom made no headway
and could make none. Mr.. Cleveland no
more obstructed it than he could have for
warded it. The Kentuckian in point of
ability was head and shoulders above every
man whose name was seriously balloted for
at Chicago, but his nomination in the cir
cumstances was simply impossible. Silver
was the democratic watchword, and MIR.
Carlisle-wisely enough for his reputation
but disastrously for his political fortunes
had changed from silver to gold.
The longer it is viewed the more certain
it appears that Mr.. Cleveland s.second ad-
ministration was bound to fail. He had OBJ
tanned office. not under false pretenses, but
with the certain knowledge that the money
question would have to be handled, and
that he and eight-tenths of his party were
as far apart as the poles as to the proper
solution of it. When the question was
taken up. he refused to give an inch, and
his party proved quite stubborn and the

purchasing clause of the Sherman act SIM
ply antedated and foreshadowed the split
at the polls in November. 1896.

The War With Spain.

1t is an idle and rather discreditable boast
that Mr.. Mckinley was dragged into the
war with Spain by the scruff of his neck ,
For several months before war was de-
ciared there was good deal of excitement
and loud talking. Some men We're more
impatient than others. Nearly everybody
believed that war was inevitable. But men
OF sober calculation knew that war, even
with a power like Spain would be a seri
Gus business. and they would have wei
coined a different solution of the difficulty.
They Were, however, much alive as
anybody else to the gravity and the real
necessities of the case. If they were 50
very demonstrative it was through no Lack
of spirit Resolution in its highest form
is associated with a calm rather than
noisy demeanor
Mr. Mckinley. as we all know. was not
an excitable man. He had infinite patience
and remarkably clear head. The case CT
Cuba after the destruction of the Maine oc-
cupied his thoughts almost constantly. He
heard everybody on the subject who ap-
preached him with suggestions. He was
not idle. timid. or indifferent, as those
people thought who went to him in a rage
against Spain and wanted to seize aud oc-
cupy Havana in no time. He was misun-
derstood by such. and even Senior De LONE
n,isadvised by some of his hired men, wrote
home in effect that there was no figh- in
the President.
If a seriOus-minded man beset with
world of trouble may be supposed as in
duigins in "a smile. we may imagine Mr..
Mckinley smiling at those wilG-eyed
congressman who acted as though they
monopohzed the proper appreciation OF what
that occasion called for. He knew the ac-
tual situation far better than they did
While they were hurting language al Spain,
he was quietly putting the fighting ma
chimes of the government in fighting FORM
and getting full ready for whatever the
future might demand. He did not conduct
his preparations with a brass band but he
lost no time. and he was thorough in all
of his calculations The government was
ready when the time for action came. and
Spain was at our mercy in less than ninety
days.
The war with Spain was not a partisan
war. but a peoples war. The people of the
whole United States approved of it, fought
1t, and won it. Some talked louder than
others about it. but such were far from
being the most influential, either before the
struggle, during its existence or at its
close

II, as the opposition to this measure and

most famous tyrants of history? Who but
small group of Americans in and out of

cans who have stood throughout this affair
as opponents of what the flag should have
meant to every Filipino from the outset Of
the American occupation If there is an
other view of the flag, there and here, it is
the result of perverted patriotism and mis-

Cleveland, Carlisle and Watterson.

In his caustic, but exceedingly readable
aTIaignment of Mr.. Cleveland, taking the
Tilden Club speech for his text, Henry Wat
terson says:
Even down to the Chicago convention of
1896 Mr.. Cleveland stood in the middle of
the road blocking the way alike of friend
and foe who might desire. or seek. the NOM
lrdtiUn Of that convention. He could not
b. induced TO efface himself. Whilst he was
from day TO day pretending that he would

nees, a member of his cabinet, without re-
buke. was permitted earnestly to urge him
Tor fourth time upon the party. He lit

was not one of them For. as a matter of
not in the running. And. as events showed,
he was not very much in the running at
home. The silver men-and at that time
they dominated the democratic party-were
bitterer toward Mr. Carlisle than toward
Mr. Cleveland. The latter had never held
but one opinion on the money question.
and that opinion was well known to the
men who had put him In the White House.
