At the annual meeting of Nebras-

At the annual meeting of Nebras-
ka Jacksonian club held on the 7th
inst, William j. Bryan was the
guest OF honor. In his speech he
said i'll part: Andrew jackson ad-
dressed himself to the moral nature
and aroused moral enthusiasm
that has outlived his period. The
time is ripe for another appeal to
conscience aud indications point to
a greater study of public questions
from an ethical standpoint. The
corrupting influences which have
flowed from mercenary politics have
at last excited attention and there is
a searching of men and measures
such as has not been known in re.
cent times. The Presidents popular
ity is largely if not entirely due to
the belief among the masses that he
wants to do what is right and he is
trying to secure justice to those un-
fairly dealt with. He has made
many mistak and great ones, but
these mistakes have to a large extent
been overlooked by those who be-
lieve that his heart is rightand that
he means well This is only an in
dication of public attitude. Another
indication is to be found in the in.
nuence OF the voter. Not since the
war have party lines hung so loosely
aud this is the natural result when
the voters become earnest in their
desire that wrong shall be over
thrown and right vindicated. Peo.
pie differ as to the relative impor-
tance of the different issues, some
placing the trusts first, some re.
garding the tariff question as para
mount and others believing the
railroad question mest important.
But the fact is they all point 10 the
same issue, and that those who take
the peoples side on one ofthe ques.
tions is likely to take the peoples
side on the other two. The issue
presented in each and all of these
questions is whether the govern
ment shall be administered in the
interests of a few favorites or in the
interests Of the whole people. The
trusts tax the entire population for
the benefit of comparatively few
number of stockholders; the protect.
ed manufacturers tax the entire pub
lie through import duties, and the
railroads levy tribute upon the whole
country through extortionate rates
For years the republican leaders
supported their policies by adroit
appeals to the interests of the differ
ent classes, and with a press subser-
Went to predatory wealth they have
deceived and deluded many voters.
They are not prepared to defend
their position on any public ques-
ton before the bar of the public

pendent of the republicans realize.

had been carrying out many of the
principles of the democratic plat

Between the national bank ca

Between the national bank calls
of August % and December 3,
about S70,00O,00O of gold was i'm
ported into the United States and
during the same period the United
States treasury increased it's depos-
its in the national banks by $50,
.000,000. A comparison of reports
made by the national banks to the
comptroller of the currency under
these two calls shows that between
August % and December 3 the na-
tional banks of the United States
lost about S6,S00,000 of gold. In
other words, they held on December
3 $397,900,00O of gold and gold
certificates as against $404, 100000
on August % Thus in spite of the
importation OF $70,O00,OO0 of gold
aud the increase of United States
deposits Of $so,000,0oOin the nation
al banks about S4,Q00,G00 was lost
by the national banks of New York
City. The question is, where has all
the imported gold gone? Has it
gone into the reserves Of state banks
and trust companies and into the
boards of scared individual deposi-
tors? Except for this impressive
fact the national bank statements
for December 3 make an excellent
showing. Indeed the national
banks have reason for congratula-
ton in the admirable exhibition Of
strength which they have given
during the financial crisis Of this
year. On the whole, and excepting
some individual instances of delin-
quency, the national banks of the
United States have performed well
their function of reserve institutions
1t is known that many of them have
actually bought gold, charging the
premium for the same to profit and
loss in order that they might supply
promptly the currency demands Of
their customers. Notwithstanding
all the demonds of the panic period
their percentage of legal reserve to
deposits on December 3 was 21.3l
as compared with q 33 on August
%, SO that they are substantially as
strong after the panic as before

Detroit Wins the Penndnt.

Chicago, Oct. 7.--Hughey Jen-
niDgs' Detroit Tigers have repeated.
They are again champions of the
American league, aud once again
they will battle with the National
league champions for the world
championship. The Tigers did not
belle their name. Enraged at the
daring of the "hitless wonders,' -
who defeated them Monday and be
came the only competitors for the
championship, they started in to
"eat 'em up" and had quite a meal
inside of them before the first IL
ming was over. The start of the
game was a terrific jolt to tremen-
dOus audience that was hopeful,
bat no more; for there seemed
something in the air which told
that the Tigers would no longer be
restrained.

THE VATICAN.
Homo Of the Popss 10 the WORLDS
Richest oapositorv.

Richest Depository.
The Vatican covers space of
1900 feet in length and 1000 feet
in breadth and is the largest palace
in the world. 1t is in Rome, on
the right bank of the river Tiber,
and on the Vatican hill, from which
it derives its name. 1t is said to
have been founded by Pope Sym
machus, who erected a small house
on its site about 300 A. D. On this
site, too, building was inhabited
by Charlemagne in 800.
Several times it has fallen into
decay and been restored. Pope Eu-
genius rebuilt it on a magnificent
scale in 1l60. In 1905 Clement V.
removed the papal see from Rome
to Avignon, and the Vatican was
in neglected and obscure state for
many years.
Nicholas V. in 1850 commenced
the great work of making it the no.
BILE palace that it now is. After
the return of the pontifcal court
to Rome it became the actual resi-
dence of the pope. One after an
other a long line of popes have add
ed splendid buildings to it, and at
present the lowest estimate gives
the number of rooms at 4,422.
Gradually it has been enriched
with great paintings, statues,
books, curious medals, gems, fres-
Goes and antiquities of every de-
scription until it is now the worlds
richest depository. The museum
of statuary is about mile in length
and contains more than 10000
statues that have been exhumed
from the ruined temples and pal
aces Of Rome.
The Vatican contains the Sistine
chapel, built by Sixtus w., 1473,
and adorned by the wonderful gen.
ius of Michelangelo; the Pauline
chapel, built by Paul III. in 1910;
the Loggia and Stance of Raphael
and the court of the Bclvedere.
The library of the Vatican is tru-
ly great one. 1t is exceedingly
rich in manuscripts, containing as
many as 10000, some of which are
by Pliny, st. Thomas and St.
Charles Borromeo and many He
brew, Arabian, Syrian and Armc-
MAN Bibles. 1t has about $4,000
printed volumes and several rich
museums of ancient and modern
articles of vcrtu.-Exchange.

Australian Girls Fearless Riders.

Many Australian girls live right
up in the bush, or Stations %
which are miles away from any
town or village, and their time is
largely occupied with riding and
driving. They are as much at home
on horse as duck is in the water
and think nothing Of riding twenty
miles or SO to pay visit. House
hold duties claim a share Of their
time, however, and any day they
are liable to be left without serv-
ants and with a house full of Wis
itors, but are in nowise daunted by
such an occurrence. Then the bush
girl comes down to the capital for
the season, and, far from appearing
a country pumpkin or a tomboy
after her free and open air life, she
is as much at home in a ballroom
as any town bred girl, as neat and
well dressed as if she had never rid
den bareback over wild tracts of
country with little thought of ap-
pearances.-London Woman.

Birds as ventriIoquists.

Many birds form their sounds
without opening their bills. The
pigeon is we'll known instance of
this. Its cooling can be distinctly
heard, although it does not open its
bill. The call is formed internally
in the throat and chest and is only
rendered audible by resonance. Sim
liar ways may be observed in many
birds and other animals. The clear,
loud call of the cuckoo, according
to one naturalist, is the resonance
Of a note formed in the bird. The
whirring of the snipe, which be-
trays the approach Of the bird to
the hunter, is an act Of ventrilo-
quism. Even the nightingale has
certain notes which are produced
internally and which are audible
while the bill is closed.
