THE PASSING OF POpULISM.'
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
DISCUSSES THE SUBJECT
IN HIS PAPER.

Lincoln, Neb., Dee. Pin
1.-The Commoner this week Viii
3liam Jennings Bryan has an ar
3ticle on "The Passing of Popu-
7lism" as follows: 1.-The fact is
THAT the Populist movement ha;
3been of great benefit to the Dem
3ocratic party and TO the country
1t helped to save the Democratic
sparty from humiliation and il
3heiped to teach economic truths
sto2~r;epublicans who would not
*listen TO Democratic speakers.
I I'm 1888 the Republican party had
IA larger majority in nearly all
athe Western States. The Farm
! ers' Alliance, which was the nu-
scleus of the PopuliSt party, did
jmOre in few years TO break the
ranks of the Republican party
3than Democratic speakers and
editors had been able to do in a
generation, and this education
: has not been lost. The retro
grade movement that has been
Conserved in the West is due part
zly to the improved condition
which some former Republicans
shave credited to Republican pol
{icies and partly to the fact that
1.-The metropolitan dailies have
constantly declared that the
democratic party was returning
J To the position that il occupied
3prior to 1896. The Republicans
who left their party between
llSSS 10 1898 hate Clevelandisn
as much as they did the things
! THAT drove them out of the Re
publican party; the fear of the
5party's return to Clevelandism
has had even more to do with the
failing off in Democratic votes in
1.-THE West than industrial condi-
ftions. The defeat of 1894 came
before the present recognizing
3element had openly co-operated
with the Republicans. What
would be the defeat now, should
Ithe reorganizers, fresh from their
alliance with the Republicans,
attempt to lead the Democratic
'partv back into the control of the
Even from the low
standpoint of expediency the
Democratic party has everything
to lose and nothing to gain by

PROTOCOL CONSIDERED.
GOVERNMENT WILL DECIDE A
To ITS CONTENTS.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The
State Department is employing
all its energies toward the i'm
mediate formulation of pro-
tocol between Venezuela Great
Britain, Germany and Italy.
While the Navy Department
officials state that no orders have
been sent 10 the Marietta to pro-
ceed tomorrow from La Guayra
10 Curacao, il is admitted that
she may 60 there ''for coal and
supplies" If the State Depart
ment has agreed to the service
of Minister Bowen as counselor
for Venezuela il is within the
probabilities that he NAV leave
ON the Marietta.
If the United States Minister
cannot leave il is not likely that
Venezuela will send a special
envoy 10 treat with the Ambas-
sailors of the allies here, with
whom 1T is intimated the pro-
tocol may be drawn up. The
Cincinnati is at Curacao. and
may probably go to La Guayra
pending the return there of the
Marietta.
The State Department, of
course, disclaims any active par
ticipation in formulating the
text of the protocol, but it is
definitely known that this Gov
eminent has two special interests
in the preliminaries.
One is that there will be writ
ten an agreement to end the
blockade on the signing of the
document.
The other is that there be no
reference, direct or by implica-
ton To the Monroe Doctrine.
Both of these ends could be
subserved equally well at Cara
cas- or Washington, but the State
Department fayors Washington
as the place of signature.
There has been an intilpation
to the Administration that Ger
many will not sign the protocol
unless Venezuela is able to pay
up her acknowledged debts or Ia
have them guaranteed. This
means that the United States, as
Venexuela's good friend, is to
see to the preliminary payments,
either by an actual or moral
guarantee.
The case has gone so far that
ii is now probable that the
United States will see To this
guarantee, which could be secur-
ed either by a coaling station on
the Venezuelan mainland or the
actual possession of the Island of
.Margarita. 1t has, in fact, been
stated that the United States il
already in negotiation for obtain
sovereignty or a long lease over
Margarita.
The United States could well
stand by some big moneyed con-
Germ, such as the Seligmans or
Mr.. Morgan, in the United States

POISON IN HIS WINE.
CHRISTMAS GIFT TO CHICAGO
MAN CAUSES HIS DEATH.

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-Behind the
'gift Of a Christmas bottle of wine
. and death TO the man who drank
/ lit, lies a mystery which the po-
lice are attempting to unravel.
/ The first step in this direction
was taken today when three ar
rests were made.
Saturday night, Richard Cum
ings, fifty years old, died from
Iunmistakable signs of poisoning
at the home of Mrs. Theresa
|Shanahan, with whom he board
fed at 442S Ashland avenue.
Il have been poisoned by that
bottle Of wine, and | want the
people who gave it to me arrest
|ed," were his last words. Cum
innings had made a statement "a
1.-THE same effect TO DIR. William
! n. Kirby earlier in the day. Not
until today did the affair come
to the notice of the police through
/ the refusal of DIR. Kirby to issue
II death certificate. Patrol Ser
geant Tousley and Detective
Kennedy arrested the family of
William Moniak, including his
1 wife and child, as the outcome of
their Investigations. They are
now locked up and will be held
pending the result of the inquiry.
All deny any conspiracy to
poison their next door neighbors,
but from peculiar phases of the
case, the police say they found
Sufficient evidence on which to
|act. The Moniak family, includ-
|ing the husband, Mrs. Theresa
Moniak, and their fourteen-year-
|old daughter, Mary, who live
|over Frank Freitag's saloon, at
|4226 Ashland avenue. had al
ways maintained more or less en-
emily. according to the police,
toward their neighbors, which
illuminated in an open quarrel a
week ago.
In the face of their recently
strained relations, the fact that
they should have donated bot
tile of wine to Mrs. Shanahan and
her boarder and insisted on their
keeping it, is a puzzle to the po-
lice.
Because of the fact that the
dead man drained the bottle of
Its contents, the police are
forced to await a tangible clew1
as to the nature of the liquor.
The contents of Cummings stom-'
ach will be examined by the
Coroner's physician for any pos
sible traces of poison.
