BRYAN APPEALS
 FOR INSTRUCTIONS Declares Predatory Wealth Seeks Control of Delegations
 Through Bosses.

Lincoln. Neb. April IT. Charg- ing that corrupt methods are be- ing used in an effort to control the two National conventions, w. J. Bryan in his Commoner advises instructions to delegates as the surest way to defeat the purpose of the corruptionists. He says
 The powerful interests which are now attempting to control both National conventions dc not want instructed delegations. All that predatory wealth asks is that the delegations shall be turned over to a few bosses to be used as circumstances require. These men who are so ready to put up money to control conventions, but who would not subscribe a dollar to elect a real Democrat to office, are not concerned as to the candidate, provided she will ac- cept their aid and put himself under obligations to them. A number of Democrats have been approached and offered the sup port, but nearly all have refused. Whence the money is a question which is being asked with ln- creasing emphasis, and the an- swer to it is deathblow to ev- eryone in whose interest the money is contributed. V

 Last year We arranged to give a number of high class enter tainments at the opera house, and the only guarantee asked was that the people should show their appreciation by attendence. A great many people said it was a good move and we needed a good Lyceum Course, but in- stead of buying a season ticket they would attend each attrac- tion and pay as they attended. The last number of the Lyceum Course will be at the opera house next Monday night. Have you attended a single time? Let us all come out and see the best attraction that has visited our town this season. Reserved seats are only 50 cents so that all may come. Let us give them a full house. P. F. Chappell.

Editor The Washington Herald:
IN spite of the fact OF the wonderful
Improvements going on in this city. the
tenants. the constant strain on the con-
tractors 10 meet the demands for new
buildings to be erected. there is no abate-
ment In the price of rent. On the con-
trary, rents are on the constant increase,
and are to-day al least 40 per cent higher
here than in neighboring cities.
As a large percentage OF the population
of this city are government employees.
and as they are expected TO pay their
debts and be respectable. many Of them
feel the rent problem to be serious one.
The government could easily relieve
them of this by constructing houses for
its employees and only charging sufficient
rental TO reimburse II after a reasonable
time. These houses could be made very
comfortable and let to the government
employees at a very much reduced rental,
and yet the government even reap a rove-
nue.. promote the comfort OF the employe
and his familys health 90 a degree they
do not now know.
The government builds barracks for the
soldiers and sailors and sees 20 their COM

tails for them where they go and receive
tender treatment if disabled IN the service
or are ILL., Not so with the government
cmploye. who Is In many instances as

We have in a thousand instances
passed the hat around for one OF our
poor unfortunate feIlOw-emplOyes who
has been injured while at work. and
without such aid. Allah only knows
what his and his family's fate would
have been. Subscriptions Of this kind
come from those who receive the smallest
compensation
There is no scheme IN a proposition
of this kind 90 ask for free rent. We
want the government not only 10 pro-
tect itself IN every possible manner. and
even derive a revenue from it. but in
doing this 10 be just and fair 10 its en-
ployes and give them rent at reason
able rates.
The government on such a basis could
have comfortable. we'll ventilated con-
structions, with all modern improve
ments. and this could in a measure make
amends for the niggardly compensation
paid, and relieve the employees from
many hardships.
There is no strain on the government
