MIR. BRYAN FOR THE SENATE.

In Nebraska the impression prevails
that Mr.. Bryan is a candidate for the
United States Senate. The Legislature
to be chosen this year will elect the
successor of Senator DIETRICH, who
was recently in trouble on account of
charges of bribery in connection with
some postoffice appointments. The
case against Senator DIETRICH was
prosecuted by United States District
Attorney Summers. Mr.. DIETRICH nat
urally hates Summers, and is object
ing to his reappointment. Joined in
this opposition is National Committee
man Rosewater.
On the other hand Senator Willard
is a friend of Summers, but isn't in
sisting upon his reappointment. He
does, however, insist that if Summers
isn't reappointed a man named Cur
ley shall be appointed. Gurley is as
objectionable to DIETRICH as Summers
is. The President doesn't know what
to do in the matter. He doesn't want
to offend the DIETRICH Rosewater fac
ton and he cannot afford to offend
Senator Willard and his friends. 1t
is said the Republican party of Ne
braska is divided into two factions in
regard to the United States District
attorneyship. and that the factions are
getting so bitter that the chances are
very much in favor of Democratic
Legislature being elected. In the
event Of the Democrats getting the
Legislature it is almost certain that
Mr.. Bryan will be sent to the Senate,
1t is probable that Mr.. Bryan would
make quite an impression in the Sem
ate. He is a great talxer, and would
be one of the show senators-that is
one of the senators pointed out to
visitors and one that would draw a
crowd to the capital when it was
known he was going to make a speech
Besides, Mr.. Bryan is still hopeful OF
being President. The Senate would be
good place from which to keep him
self before the country.
The landing of Mr.. Bryan in the
Senate would be an interesting out
come of the sensational charges
against Senator DIETRICH. And yet
| less important things than the
charges against Senator DIETRICH have
had a greater political effect than the
sending of Mr.. Bryan to the Senate
would be.

Much Advice But No Money.

A man who had had relatives visit
ing him from the country dropped into
his Office chair and heaved a long sigh,
says the New York correspondent of
the Louisville Courier-Journal.
THANK heavens, they've gone" he
exclaimed, and he sighed again.
Whose gomez" some one asked.
MY relatives from the country"
you don't seem to be overload of
your folks"
"Oh, 1 like them we'll enough, but
the way I've had to shell out for a
week was enough to break the Bank
of England. You see, my sister and
her husband ran down for a few days
to make us visit and see some of
the sights. They live in a little place
where the greatest excitement the town
ever gets up to is euchre party or
a lecture on the Land of the Midnight
Sun or some such thing, and when
they got here the way they wanted to
go to the theater every night, TO din
ners at hotels and restaurants, auto
mobile riding, doing the slums and ev
erything else was simply awful. At
home they would think If they went
out and spent 81 frivolously that they
had committed a sin. Here they sat
around coolly and watched me put up
$40 a night for theater tickets for four
of us, $40 for a bite at Sherry's, Del
monico's or the Waldorf, ten a day for
cab hire and all that sort of thing,
and every night, too. But it wouldn't
have been half so rough if they had
seen anything that suited them. There
wasn't a thing in this whole city that
could hold a candle to their dinky, one
horse place. And then when they were
going away, what do you suppose my
brother-in-law said to me? Why, he
had the gall to suggest that l save
my money for rainy day. Gee!
wouldn't that make you weary?"

The merger decision having been
rendered, there are of course many
stories related in connection with the

of Minnesota tells on himself, accord
ing to the Troy Times. A tall, lank
resident of Otter Tail county walked
into his office recently, and, accidental
ly meeting him at the door of the pri-
vate executive Office, asked for the
Governor. Gov. Van SAINT is of some
what less than the average hight.

pearance is that of a prosperous BUSH

visitor asked. YES" Gov. Van SAINT

man asked, doubtfully. Our state

Last January an explosion occurred
in the Harwick mine. near Pittsburg,
in which 17s lives were snuffed out.
A coroner's jury is now investigating
the matter. A day or two ago the
mine superintendent. Mr.. Snowden,
testified that six months prior to the
explosion there had been a quarrel be-
tween himself and Mine Foreman
Brown, one OF the victims of the ac-
cident, as to which of them was in
authority at the works. Following the
quarrel, Mr.. Snowden said, Brown had
made no written entry in the record
book as to the condition of the mine.
Owing to this neglect on the part of
Brown, snowden said 1t was impos-
sible for him to have a comprehensive
knowledge of conditions inside the
mine. From this quarrel OF bosses,
therefore. there may have arisen the
conditions that led to the explosion
and the killing OF 80 many men.

WHY SILLY FAILED.


MFR. Theodore H. Price, who is about
as well known in the cotton market as
Mr.. SulIy is, lectured on Tuesday night
to a class in the New York University
on The Cotton Market. Its Ramifica-
tions and Importance. Mr.. Price un-
dertook to corner the cotton market
once and failed. His failure was for
a larger amount than that for which
Mr.. SuIIy failed. It is probable, all
things considered, that he is better ae-
quainted with cotton and the cotton
market than most of the men who OPP
crate on the New York Cotton Ex-
change.
In speaking of Mr.. sullys failure
he said: THE speeulator in cotton
needs to possess real information as
to conditions which is not known to
every one, but there are very few
minds able to deal with these problems
successfully. 1 do not look upon such
speculation as gambling. To be a sue
cessful Spectator in cotton, like an
artist, you must be born, not made.
don't want to be personal, but because
Of the recent sensations in the cotton
market l can express the opinion that
Mr.. Sully simply had the experience
which has always been that of those
who try to force, instead of follow, the
law of supply and demand"
The inference from the foregoing is
that Mr.. SulIy was mistaken in sup
posing that the supply of cotton isn't
anywhere near equal to the demand.
He tried to force the price to 20 cents
a pound on the theory that the supply
was less than it really was, and that
the demand was steadily increasing. In
other words, Mr.. Price thinks MIR.
Sully didn't understand the situation,
didn't have correct Information.
Mr.. Price says that he doesn't think
specializing in cotton is gambling, for
the reason that the successful specu-
lator must have a vast amount of in
formation about the cotton crop, and
must be guided by this information IN
his dealings in the market, but, assum-
ing that this view is correct, are not
those who, having no information to
guide them, speculate in cotton, gam
blers? 1t would seem so. According
to Mr.. Price the leader of bull or
bear movement isn't a gambler, be
cause he buys or sells ON the basis OF
information which he regards as re-
liable, and which leads him to believe
the supply of cotton will be scarce or
plentiful as the case may be, but all
the little dealers in the future market
who have no such information, but
who take the chances of the market
going up or down. are gamblers pure
and simple.
Sully has lost all he made this season,
and perhaps the greater part of that
which he made last season, and if the
truth were known, it would probably
appear that the great majority of those
here in the South. who speculated in
cotton last season, or who have spec
ulated in it this season. have lost
great deal more than they have made.

Maj. Wheatley. erstwhile warrior.
now married, but still well known
along the Rialto. had a surprise in
store for him on Broadway the other
night, says the New York Times.
A swarthy man, dressed in Hindu
garb, appeared on the Milky Way and
began to illustrate the workings of a
mysterious Oriental puzzle which he
was selling for five cents. Every time
he sold a puzzle he bowed in true
Oriental fashion, at the same time
muttering:
"Salaam ali kum!"
Maj Wheatley stopped to see what
was doing. Almost Immediately his
eyes encountered those of the Hindu
juggleF. who stared hard at him.
IF I'm not mistaken" said the ma
joF, that man comes from my old
home IN Georgia"
At the same moment the Hindu"
juggler's face expanded in a broad
grin.
''Lawd!" he cried, "ef faint Marse
wheatley!"

A ship that sailed from New York
for Panama the other day is said to
have had among her passengers no less
than forty ''bug-killers." In some way
it became noised abroad that the gov
eminent would pay large reward to
the scientist or. inventor who would
find some way of Kidding Panama of
the bugs that infest the canal route.
In response to this alleged offer. the
origin of which nobody seems to be
able to trace, a large company OF bug
killers" have gone TO the isthmus. arm
ed with al sorts of apparatus design
ed for insect determination.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-04-01

1t is a source of satisfaction that
the bug found in Pike and Spalding
counties, and thought by the farmers
of those counties to be the dreaded boil
weevil, is a different insect altogether.
For few days there was a feeling
of uneasiness throughout the state, be-
cause of the possibility that the boil
weeviI had in some mysterious way got
into Georgia cotton fields, and yet it
wasn't conceivable. from the known
habits of the weevtl. how it had passed
over such stretch of country and
found a Judgment in Pike and Spalding
counties.
Our information is that the boil wee
vii doesn't jump great sections of coun-
try. II moves along like an army de-
stroying as it goes, leaving no part of
the country on it's line of march un-
touched.
The insect had It's starting point in
Mexico. When it got into Texas it
proceeded to cross that state to the
Louisiana line. In it's movement to-
wards Louisiana it hasn't skipped any
counties. There was pretty good
ground for thinking therefore that it
hadn't reached the cotton fields of Pike
and Spalding counties.
1t seems the insect found in those
counties and which was thought to be
the boil weevil, is much like that Wee
vii in appearance, though easily dis
tinguishable from 1t when the two are
brought together. The insect found
| in Pike and SpaIding counties is not
an enemy to cotton. though it seems
| to be the opinion of the cotton farm
ers of those counties that it is. Prob
ably some other insect is troubling
their cotton. 1t might be advisable for
! them to make a further investiga ton
of the matter. 1t is gratifying, how
ever, to know that the boil weevil
hasn't reached Georgia. 1t is to be
hoped IL never will

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Nashville American Dem.) says
OF Judge Parker: Although sound
money man, when so many of his party
were enamored of free silver, he voted
the ticket. All Democrats ought TO
be able to unite on him. The chances
are that he will be the next Demo-
cratic nominee"
The Columbia State (Dem.) says:
Georgia, we believe, is the only state
which Judge Parker has visited lately
in a public way. and even on his
Georgia trip he held aloof from poll
tics, yet It is the first state to organize
a Parker movement of substantial and
respectable proportions. If Mr.. Par
ker would take to the stump, just
swing around the circle Teddy might
lose a little Sleep"
The Norfolk Landmark (Oem.) says:
Notwithstanding the policy of sup
preston which the administration
forces in Congress have adopted with
regard to the postal scandal, the thing
continues to grow. The conviction of
Senator Burton of Kansas by jury in
a Federal District Court, on the charge
of receiving compensation for using his
influence with the Postoffica Depart
ment, takes the lid Off again"
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
"The Democrats long fioundered in
their efforts to decide upon an availa-
ole standard bearer for their presi-
Dental campaign. At last, however,
they seem to have sagaciously elimi-
mated the weakest, and have apparent
ly agreed upon the strongest, in the
absence of Mr.. Cleveland, whose decli-
nation of the honor was absolute
Judge Parker of New York. If the
party unites on Parker and presents a
solid front-thouRh In view of Bryan's
actions this now seems improba bic
the result would be by no means q
for6gone conclusion"

The Nebraskan is said to be the first

The unreliability Of a small ehild's
testimony under oath was illustrated
in Chicago few days ago. Five men
were under indictment for murder.
There was certain circumstantial evil
dence against them which. taken in
connection with the testimony of a
little girl made a perfect and conclu-
sive case. The child swore that she
saw the murder committed and de-
scribed in detail how and by whom it
had been done. Later, however, she
confessed that she had falsified and
that the story she had told under oath
had been told her by the wife of the
man who had been killed. Upon
learning this the prosecution dropped
the case and the accused men were
discharged. Except for the child's
timely confession of falsehood the men
would probably have been hung.
