BRYAN SCORES CLEVELAND.
Gives Out Statement Bitterly Ar.
raigning Former Democratic
President

Lincoln. Neb.. June 24-The absence
of w. J. Bryan from the Democratic
harmony dinner at New York is pretty
well explained by statement given
out by Mr.. Bryan last night. comment
ing on the dinner. At the outset Mr..
Bryan says there is no such thing as
Democratic harmony where Former
President Cleveland is concerned. lie
says:
The banquet given on the evening
of June 18th by the Tilden Club of
New York was advertised as a .har-
mony meeting but it turned out to be
what might have been expected of such
Il gathering. an ovation to the chief
guest, former Democrat, Grover
Cleveland.
There can be no such thing as har-
mony between men like him and those
who believe In Democratic principles,
and he Is frank enough to say so. He
spent no time looking for middle
ground upon which to gather together
discordant elements. He boldly called
upon the members of the party to
abandon their convictions and accept
the construction which he places upon
Democratic principles. He even
taunted the party with being sort of
prodigal son. and invited it to give up
its diet of husks and return to its
fathers house,
Mr. Bryan says he will print in his
paper Mr.. Cleveland's speech, ito show
that the reorganizerS do not want har-
mony, but control. and that their con
troll means the abandonment of the
party's position and return to the
politics and practices of Mr.. Cleve-
lands second administration.
He (Cleveland) secured his nominal
tion in 1892 by a secret bargain with
the financiers; this committee collected
from the corporations and spent the
largest campaign fund the party ever
had; he filled his Cabinet with corpora
ton agents and placed railroad attor-
neys on the United States bench to
look after the interests of their former
clients.'

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently young woman
finds it necessary to launder shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists SO that they will
look like new it is neaStul to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have bowl OF water and a
clean piece OF muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently SO to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. II there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

BRYAN ON THE TRUSTS.
He is Opposed to National Control Of
Combines

The democratic campaign in Missouri was
opened at Joplin last evening at a meeting
attended by 5000 people. W. ]. Bryan was
the principal speaker. William ]. Stone.
national committeeman and candidate for
senator to succeed George Vest; Gov. A.
NJ Dockery and Mayor James A. Reed OF
Kansas City also spoke.
Mr.. Bryan talked at length on the tariff,
saying, among other things, that 1t was
time to take the tariff of at least all kinds
Of trust-made goods. The country. he said,
could not look to the republicans for re
forms in tariff matters, adding:
There were more righteous men In So
dom and Gomorrah than there are tariff
reformers in the republican party"
He declared that President Roosevelt had
no remedy for the trust evil and that some
of his utterances on the subject were alb
surd. Continuing, he said:
81 tell you one trust magnate In stripes
behind the prison walls would do more to
break up trusts than all the speeches the
President can make. The constitutional
amendment the republicans are talking
about Is not meant for the regulation OF
trusts. but to take the power to control
trusts away from the states and 20 protect
the trusts"
