''THE FIGHT IS ON"
We j. Bryan Declares Cleveland and the
"RsOrganizers- Do Not Want Har-
mOny, But Control

Lincoln, Neb-, June 25.-W. J. Bry-
an harshly criticises the New York
democratic harmony" dinner in a
public statement. Harmony, he says,
is impossible where ex-President
Cleveland is concerned. Mr.. Bryan
says he viii print in his paper Mr..
Cleveland's speech, ito show that the
reorganizers do not want harmony,
but control, and that their control
means the abandonment Of the par
tvs position and return to the poll
cies and practices Of Mr.. Cleveland's
second administration"
He continues: eff we are to have
reorganization Cleveland himself
should accept the presidential nom
nation 1t would be due him. His
reinstatement would be poetic JUS
tice to him and retributiOn to those
whose democratic conscience revOlted
against his undemOcratic conduct. A
fight is on between a democracy that
means democracy and a Clevelandism
which means PlUtOeracy- Every
speech made by Mr. Cleveland shows
more clearly the odiousness Of the
policies for which he stands. We
have more to fear from those who,
like Mr.. Hill, indOrse Mr.. Cleveland's
views, but conceal their real purpose
in ambiguous language"

had lost his cientage because he
couldn't keep his tongue between his
teeth. Tim had been around the North
Side neighbOrhOOd for ten years. He
had the strongest kind of affection for
Jimmie Rutgers now James Rutgers,
lawyer, age p. The lawyer reciPrO-
Gated the feeling, and more than once
had stood between Tim and the dis
pleasure of the head of the house,
when Tim had looked upon the gin
when it was white and gave no color in
the cup.
Now it happened not long ago that
James Rutgers began to think a bit
seriously of marriage. About three
evenings every week he called at
certain Goethe street residence, on
Miss Victoria Mainwaring, who was
stunning beyond all question, and who
had a lot of money in her fathers
right Mr.. Jimmie, as Tim called him,
also called about once every two weeks
at a modest Schiller street residence,
where lived Miss Agnes 8Ierrithought,
who was pretty If not stunning, and
who did not have a lot Of money in
the right of her father or anybody else.
Tim occasionally took flowers to the
residence of Victoria Mainwaring and
somewhat less than ENTHUSIASTICALLY
took them to the residence Of Miss
Agnes. Tim noticed that his flower
bearing trips to Goethe street were
getting more frequent and that those
to Schiller street were getting CORE
spondingly infrequent. There were
other things that told him that Mr..
Jimmie was getting thick" as Tim
put 1t, IN the Goethe street quarter
Now Tim knew a thing or two. He
had run errands several times a week
for two years for both the Wainwaring
and the MerrithOught households, in
addition to having tOted many a bou-
quet and bOnbOn box TO both places
for Mr.. Jimmie. With his heart she'd
ding tears, so to speak, Tim saw the
growing preference OF the heir OF the
Rutgers for 'that Mainwaring girl
It had reached the point where there
was gossip about 1t N the kitchens,
and the cooks one and al predicted an
early marriage, as one of them put it,

in the stable and called Tim down from

President Roosevelt Cannot See Rec
iprOcity for Cuba Now.
Legislation II Impossible and q
TEO-Thirds Vote OF Senators to
Ratify a Treaty Cannot Be Sc
cured at This Time.

Washington, June 24-It has been
determined that no reciprocity treaty
with Cuba can be submitted at the
present session Of congress. 1t was
at first planned that, in the event Of
the failure OF the administration
managers IN the senate to secure IA
vOrable action on the Cuban sugar
bill, a treaty would be drafted at
once. This was on the understand
ing that Senior QUesada, the Cuban
minister here had fun powers and
that a treaty could be drawn in
Washington entirely. It is stated
now, however, that this cannot be
done and that any draft of a treaty
must go to Havana and be returned
before it can be submitted to the
senate. This, Of course, cannot be
accomplished in the short space Of
time intervening before adjournment
IL the estimates Of the leaders that
congress viii adjourn by July 4 are
correct. No confidence is felt in ad-
ministratiOn circles as to the ability
of the senate managers to secure
the ratification Of a treaty, even If
one is drawn, and while the presi-
dent may feel called upon to put the
matter to a test, it viii be rather
with the idea of demonstrating his
own purpose to do everything posi-
BILE for Cuba, than in any expectation
that a twO-thirds vote for ratification
could be received.

6NIA was an alley man Everybody
who lives on the North Side knows
what an alley man is. He is the man
who does odd jobs for a dozen fam
lies and sleeps in the furnace-room Of
the particular family which has shown
the greatest federation for his pres
ence and to which he owes paramount
allegiance. The alley man generally
drifts into the neighbOrhoOd, per
forms some service that gives him a
title to recognition and thereafter he
is a fixture, gradually extending his
field of operations until he has ten OF
a dozen households which call upon
him for occasional service and one
household which he calls his own
Tim the alley man did a service one
day for 15-year-Old Jimmie Rutgers,
who lived with his parents in a colo
NAL house on Aston street, colonial
though it was built only ten years ago;
but of such is the kingdom Of sweIIdOm.
Jimmie Rutgers was driving alone. A
buckle broke and with only one rein at
his command Jimmie, though PIucky
and a good driver, could do nothing,
and the horse boIted. Tim stopped the
runaway before much harm was done
to either vehicle or driver, but in doing
it Tim got a smashed rib. Thereafter
he was a prOtege of the Rutgers. He
had a fine room in the steam-heated
stable, and would have been put in
charge Of the horses had it not been
that Tim had an occasional weakness
for gin. He ate at the Rutgers l1itch-
en- table, did about three errands n
week for the household and did about
as many more for each Of a dozen 9TH
er families living along the fashionable
thorOughfare.
One-haIf the errands that the alley
man runs are at the request of the
cook, the laundress or one of the mi
nor maids. This makes the alley man
welcome in every kitchen, and it also
accounts largely for the fact that one
household is generally kept pretty well
informed about the Goings of the other
households. Tim, however, wasn't
much OF a gossip He was getting on
in years, and he knew that no matter
how great the service rendered might
have been, that many an alley man
