BRYAN ON POLITICS
Is Prevailed Upon to Discuss Many
Matters of Public Interest.

Toledo, O., March 9.-Colonel ". J..
Bryan was in the city this afternoon.
He was prevailed upon to discuss poll
tics. He tolG of his recent visit to New
York and added that the people in that
state knew less about politics than they
do IN the west. They asked me about
Judge Parker" said he, and 1 told
them 1 could say nothing until he knew
his attitude on public questions" He
added that he was a judge and it would
not be proper for him to discuss such
politics."
VIVA do you think Hill intends to
do?"
We'll, I think MI. Hill is tossing a
penny to see whether he or Judge Par
ker will run. The trouble with the plan
is that Hill has an old penny that he
has tossed so often that he does not
known which side is head and which
side is tail"
"What have you to say regarding the
record of congress?"
"What congress has done is easily
ascertained. Find how much there
was in the treasury before the session
began and find out how much there is
now. The Onder is that they did not
take it ALL"
Mr.. Bryan declined to discuss the
probable issues and candidates in the
next national campaign, but when ask
ed to make a general statement as to
the situation he said political sue
cess depends upon two things, opportu-
nifty and the preparation to take ad-
vantage of il. A political party must
have its principles and 1t must advo-
cate those policies it believes best for
the people and hen trust to events to
vindicate the wisdom of it's course. Il
believe that the democratic party has
taken the peoples side of the public
questions discussed in 1896 and in 1900,
and | believe if it will maintain its
integrity and allow no doubt to arise as
to its fidelity to the peoples cause. it
will only be a question of time, and not
a long time either, before enough re-
publicans will be digusted with he
policy of the republican party to again
put the democratic party in power.
Such a victory when Won will bring
relief to the people from all the vicious
policies of the republican party. We
cannot win a victory by compromise or
cowardice and if we should win a vie
tory by means it would be as disas-
trous to the party Is Mr.. Cleveland's
victory in 1892 proved to be-
Asked his opinion on the Wabash
strike, Mr.. Bryan said:
THE merits of the controversy be-
tween the company and it's employees
are o~vershadoWed by the menace of the
process known as government by in
junction. The democrats have long.
been calling attention to the danger
that turks in this abuse of the judicial
power, but it seems to take several OBJ
Ject lessons to make the people ac>
Quainted with a bad principle"

THE c. & O'S ANSWER
Road Denies the Charges of Alleged
Freight Rates.

Washington, D. c., March 1O.-The c.
and O. has filed with the Interstate
commission an answer to the
complaint Of j. S. n L. w. Dewey,
Ohio hay shippers, against the road
named and several others, alleging un-
lawful freight rates. The answer says
the road has not united in any joint
tariff of the character cited in the COM
plant, nor has it prepared any tariff
naming a 9 IL cent rate per hundred
pounds form Columbus, Oho, to Rich
mond, Va, during the times mentioned
in the complaint. The company AYERS
that its proportional rate from Column
bus is reasonable and just by return
by application Of proportional rates
from Louisville, Cincinnati and other
Ohio river crossings to Virginia cities
on traffic destined to Wilmington, n. c.
and other southern points beyond Rich
mOnd. The answer denies that the
shipments from the Ohio points named,
other han Columbus were hauled under
substantially similar circumstances
and conditions as the Columbus ship
ments and that G. and O.. participation
in the 20 cent rate from the Ohio points
rates to Richmond and in the IL cent
rate from Columbus to Richmond is
not unreasonable and p~rejudicial in ia
vor of Columbus.

OFT OF
GrOVer Cleveland Denies That There
is Any Significance in His Visit.

New York, March 9.-Former Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland denied today
that he had come to New York city
for any political purpose. as was ru-
'mored yesterday. He said:
4 came solely for the purpose Of at
the Beecher Memorial meeting
in Brooklyn last plight. The reports
that l had a political talk with Edward
NJ. Shepard, William c. Whitney and
are untrue.
Il am not in politics. 1 am out for
good. I only saw Mr.. Shepard last
night for two minutes, and politics did
not figure in u conversation. Politics
is further from my thoughts at present
although l am always ready to act in
an advisory character, if so desired
las for taking any active part in
politics, that is not to be considered"

REPORT ADOPTED.
Flood Water Committee Makes Able
Report for the Safety Of the City.
TO REBUILD ALAMEDA DYKE,

The citizens turned out well last
evening to discuss the food question.
The committee made report through
Secretary George A. Kaseman as fol
lows:
Hon. w. B. Childers, chairman citi-
zens' committee. Sir
''The undersigned, the committee ap-
pointed at the citizens meeting last
night to investigate and report what
action is necessary to rid the valley Of
the lake or food of water that now
stands behind the Fourth street dyke
and also to investigate and report
what action is necessary to make the
situation at the Alameda dyke safe,
found the following conditions andrea
ommend the following:
I'VE first went to the Fourth street
dyke, accompanied by City Engineer
Pitt Ross and Alderman Harsch. At
about $3.50 a. m, the water there was
about seven inches lower than at its
highest stage. At about $3.50 p. m, on
our return it had fallen another inch
and a half. There is still a body of wa
ter confined here, which, should it sud
denly escape might do a large amount
Of damage to II city. The water is
now being rapidly lowered by seepage,
evaporation and drainage through the
acequia and in another day or two will
no longer be a source of danger to the
city. Mr.. Ross informed us that in two
days the water will be lowered TO such
an extent that it will no longer flow in
to the acequia and will have to he
drained off on a lower level. To do this
Mr.. Ross plan is to dig a ditch along
the east side of Fourth street TO near
the Mountain road and hen ~diagonally
eastward to the Rio Grande wooden
mills and east side of the Santa Fe
tracks, thence south to the slough from
where il will be drained by the city
ditch and carried to the river. Mr.. Ross
has obtained the right of way over all
the land except two or three small
strips. Part of the ditch has already
been dug from the reservoir south and
a few men are at work extending it.
We fully endorse this plan of Mr.. Ross
n believe il to be the most practical,
economical and quickest way of drain
ing on the water. We recommend that
MIR. Ross be employed and be given
full charge and with power to employ
whatever number Of men are neces-
sary to watch at the dyke and COM
plete the drainage of the pond at that
point.
I'VE next drove to the Alameda
dyke, accompanied by Alderman
Harsch. Here we found larger amount
of new dyke and work than we antici'
pated and which must have been done
under very trying circumstances, judg'
ing by the mire and water that is left
There is some water perhaps from six
TO twelve inches deep and some flow
ing with a current on the upper sid6
OF the dyke.
The water is about twenty-five inch
es lower than the top of the newly
constructed section and other parts o
the dyke. The dyke is very frail and
weak affair and the weakest places il
IL ought to be strengthened at once t,
guard against the July and Angus
rains. As soon as the weakest place
are repaired and the ground become
dry. so that the work "a be economic
ally done, then the entire length Of tn
