altrulsn Of the United states. Nothing
IN the world approached America in
this respect.
Mr.. Bryan said that II we spent one
tenth Of the money on education that
we spend in building up an army or
navy we would have better protec-
tion.
When Mr.. Bryan concluded ne was
cheered enthusiastically for several
minutes, after which former Governor
Garvln OF Rhode Island made a few
remarks In which he said:
"The Republican leaders are trying
to make the country's prosperity the
paramount political issue. But issues
are born, not made TO order. As a
matter OF fact the masses of the people
do not feel themselves to be really
prosperous. on the contrary they are
painfully aware that the trusts and
kindred monopolies which are highly
prosperous have become SO by the
exploitation of the common people.
The people have studied with horror
the exposures of venal legislators and
corrupting corporations and they have
watched with care the course of con-
gress in its attempt to deal with few
OF the worst monopolles
Tn the coming fall campaign the
votes for congressmeh will show wheth-
result of we'll meant efforts of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to curb the trusts.
From the nature Of the case the
reluctantly passed railroad bill and the
pure food law will not halt for single
day the march of the trusts over the
bodies and souls of the American
people. Chronic diseases cannot be
cured by treating symptoms only
The removal of the cause is the
first and most essential step. More
over it is not enough, In the language
of President Roosevelt to curb the
trausts, but as Mr.. Bryand has recent
ly said, they must be destroyed. "A
private monopoly is indefensible and
intolerable.'
Mr. Garvin discussed the constitu-
tional means by which monopolstic
bodies may be reached II our law maxi
ers obtain the. spirit as we'll as the let
ter of the organic law.
He declared that the prospect in New
for Democratic victory this
autumn was brighter than at any time
since 1892.

RIVER MAY DESERT TOWN
Men and Teams Trying to Keep the
Missouri In Its Proper Cham
mel at Blair, Neb.

Special to The Herald.
BLAIR, Neb., Aug 31.-One thousand
men and teams have been working
night and day for forty-eight hours to
prevent the Missouri river from chang
ing it's course and leaving this town
five miles west of the channel, and also
to prevent the river from rendering
the big Northwestern railroad bridge
from becoming useless by spanning dry
land instead of the river.
The Northwestern bridge train came
at once and placed 200 men at work
making riprap and dumping stone and
sandbags in the way of the stream.
Friday night 500 yards of dixie was
carried away and Saturday morning
the force was increased to 1000 men and
teams.
There are several old channels in the
valley here where the Missouri ran
fifty years ago, and the stream has
taken a sudden notion to go back into
one of these dry beds. If it succeeds
the loss will be very great and the
Northwestern will be forced to build
new bridge.

BRYAN RECEIVES REPORTERS
Nebras<an Tells Them That Recep-
ton Touched Him Deeply

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.--William j.
Bryan, despite the fatigue and strain
of yesterday and last night, arose early
this morning. He was up about Z
o'clock.
Although he said he felt fine and was
smiling when the newspaper men Wis
tied him, he could not dispel the look
of weariness in his face brought by
the strain of his reception and many
Incidents connected with 1t.
Mr.. Bryan was In his shirt sleeves
and slippers when he received the re-
porters. He was asked to give some
expression of opinian regarding last
nights meeting, but he said he pre-
ferred not to talk of 1t.
It had filled his heart with emotion
and was a matter so PERSONAL and dear
to him that it was difficult for him to
express an opinion IN words. Pressed
for some word to the people regarding
the reception Mr.. Bryan finally said:
1T would be the big event in the life
of many men to face what / faced last
night. 1 was more than pleased with
the reception accorded me, but these
words are insufficient. l think you
know how grateful l feel for the well
come received last night. / said so to
the thousands of people in the garden
last night and really meant it,
Mr.. Bryan said he would make no
formal statement today on any subject,
political or otherwise.
While Mr.. Bryan was talking to his
early morning callers and opening his
mail Mrs Bryan came in for few
minutes and was introduced to those
present. Among the callers was dele
cation of natives of India, headed by
Pundit (Prof.) Mohammed Daraha-
tulah.
They presented an address to Mr..
Bryan, thanking him for his reference
in his speech last night to British rule
in India. 4
Just before Mr.. Bryan left the Hotel
Victoria at GAS a. M, he was prevailed
upon to give expression to his views on
certain. subjects. His remarks were
brought out by question in which he
was asked if he would cooperate with
Governor Folk of Missouri in a set
of Democratic doctrine for
the next two years.
IT have not co-operated with any
body thus far" Mr.. Bryan replied. "but
/ want to cooperate with everybody
who holds the same views I hold and
who wishes to cooperate with me-"
After moment Mr.. Bryan continued
'The popular idea in the east is that
much good results from two or three
men getting together and arranging
things for the masses. l believe now,
as l have always believed, that the
people are capable of thinking for
themselves. In that way they get the
best results"
The trip from Hotel Victoria to the
Grand Central depot was made in car
riages. Mr.. Bryan boarded a special
parlor car attached to the 1O:02 o'clock
train for New Haven on the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad.
Mr.. Bryan stood on the rear platform
of the car and greeted a crowd num-
bering several hundred on the station
