BRYAN is CAUSTIC.
The Nebraskan Bids Defiance to
Critics In His Own Party.
Boldly Declares Grover Cleveland Il Nots
Democrat and Expresses y Desire That
the Ex. President Organize =
Party of His own

Detroit March 11.-William j.
Bryan Tuesday addressed the demo-
cratic state judicial convention in
Light Guard armory. Temporary
Chairman Parkhill introduced Mr..
Bryan, who said, in part:
No democrat has reason to be de-
spondent. We must not work on the
principle of expedlency. We must be
sure we are building on the right ground.
There never was a time when there was
q greater need for the application OF dem
ocratic principles than to-day. Down
east, In Delaware. learned more about
some other things than about future can
didates for the presidency. found that
many republicans were fighting against
q man named Addicks. / found that IN
some places three-quarters Of the voters
had received money for their votes. But
I could not draw the line between Ad-
dicks, who wanted to buy senatorship
with his own money and run 1t for his
own interests, and other men who buy
office for a corporation and run 1t FOR
the interests Of the corporation. What,
my friends, do you say OF men VINO buy
senatorships with the money OF corpora
lions and go to congress as slaves OF the
corporations?
All the difference between Addicks and
the rest is that he confessed openly to
what the others do secretly. have been
accused of preventing harmony. No
man wants harmony more than l do and
no one has suffered more for lack OF 1t
than have. But you can't keep In one
organization men who want to cut eacn
others throats They accuse me Of say
Ing hard things about Cleveland. / never
said ANYTHING about him so hard as did
President Mckinley. who said "Cleve-
land is trying to make money the master
and all things else the servant" 1 am
not ashamed of any humble part l may
have had In driving out of the democratic
party a man who tried to make money
the master and everything else the serv-
ant. I want him In some other party
than ours. / would be glad to help or
yanize one for his exclusive use.

Pacific tracks are under water for
mile or two ut stretch. Rail-
road bridges at Schuyler, Columbus

Flood reports are coming in from
number of towns along the Elk
horn, Platte and Loup rivers. The
situation is worse at Columbus and

water covers the lower part OF town

the Platte river is three miles wide
at that place. Its waters cover the
entire valley between the Union Pa
cific railroad tracks in Fremont and
the bluffs just across the bridge in

THE HUNTERS MONTH.
leads of LnrFe Game Being shipped
to the CIties-Friendly Cameras
Protect wild Life.

For a great part of the country tne
hunting season has opened. In little
while one will begin to see in the papers
figures setting forth the amount of
game shipped from each station on GER
tain railroads which reach the big
woods
To sensitive persons, says the Youths
Companion, the numbers are appalling,
and the sights in the baggage cars would
be still more reungnant. The carcases
of deer and OF an occasional moose are
piled one above another almost to the
roof, and among them are many does
and fawns. Yet before the passage OF
adequate game laws the conditions were
worse. Deer were shipped by the
schooner load from Maine to Boston, and
birds by the barrel. There are still too
many-far too many-killed, but the
number is lessening.
Nature study in the schools and the
manufacture of good cameras, which
can be sold at low price, have done
much to protect the lives Of animals.
Those stories of the woods which give
wild animals the attributes and feelings
OF human beings may be, doubtless are,
poor science, but they are not bad NOR
ais. They do at least foster sympathy

Some curious tests with coal are
now being made at Portsmouth, the
object being to ascertain to what ex-

kept for a certain time in salt water.
Twenty-one tons of coal taken from
the same heap were first divided into
three parts, two of which contained
ten tons each, and one one ton. One
Of the ten ton lots was next divided
into five parts, each containing two
tons, and these, after being placed in
five perforated boxes, were sunk in the
sea. The other ten ton lot is also to
be divided into five parts, each con-
tanning two tons, but instead of being
sunk in the sea these are to be Kept

few days ago, and thorough test Is
now being made of its qualities as
shown by combustion.
| In 12 months the coal in one OF the
submerged boxes, and also that in one
of the boxes which have been kept on

was obtained when the one ton was

The sending up of self-registering
instruments upon kites at the Blue Hill
observatory, near Boston, has shown
that a passenger during an excursion
into the upper air would need variety
of clothing. If it chanced to be normal
summer day on the ground, with the
temperature at 70 degrees F., and the
breeze blowing freshly at 20 miles an
hour, he would need to take his furs
and mittens, for by the time he had
reached an elevation of II 900 feet the
thermometer would register nearly 40
degrees lower and the wind would be
blowing a hurricane.
