proved a host in himself in defeating
Ward and Wright. At times Whitman
displayed glimpses of his old form, but on
the whole he was erratic as Ward and
Wright. In the third set Ward found

scored easily. Wright remarked after

Revolving Against Materialism.

Some belittle our past and demean our
influence. For ten decades we have been
the greatest power in the world. We
have done more to shape the politics of
the world than all other nations COM
bined and that. too. without an army or
q navy. The light shining here is sending
its ray into every land. and that is be-
cause it rests on the doctrine of human
brotherhood.
Our people are revolving against the
materialism that enthrones mammon and
makes dollars the index to a mans re-
spectability. Our ethical development
has created a larger yearning for broth
idea that I look for real and substan-
tial reform"

NEBRASKAN DISCoURSES ON
THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.

NEW YORK. April 22.-William Jen-
nings Bryan delivered his lecture upon the
brotherhood of Man" to an audience that
overflowed Cooper Union by 200 last night
He told the Peoples Institute there that
..our people are revolving against the
materialism that enthrones mammon and
makes dollars the index to mans re-
spectability." Later he spoke at the
eighth annual banquet OF the Missouri So
ciety at the New Grand.
In Cooper Union Mr.. Bryan said:
Here is my definition of civilization:
The harmonious development of the
human race physically, mentally and
morally, a development of the threefold
man. When we reach perfect develop
ment sof all citizens We will have perfect
civilil ion.- Until we do our civilization
must GogssafIy be imperfect.

Discouraged by Delay"
One of the sad things is that one who
has inspired followers becomes discour-
aged by delay, disheartened by postpone
ment of triumph and surrenders his ideas

CARDS his followers as ungrateful
II want to say a word to encourage
those who are now struggling without the
seeming prospect of success. The worlo
is growing better. man is moving onward
and society going higher and higher. The

philanthropy around the world teaches
us that education should be universal.

4 Famous NeNspapar Man.

William E. Curtis, the famous
correspondent of The Chicago

umn letter for this paper every
day in the year without intermls-

work are as great a marvel as his
faculty of always making this
matter intere ting.

correspondent in the country is
read so regularly and eagerly BY
so many thousands OF men and

tis has travelled several times
around the world. visiting every
country under the sun. and
writing a larger number of bril-
liant and interesting letters of
travel than we're ever before pro
duced by a single hand. Many of
these have later been reprinted in
book form. One of his latest
expeditions for The Record Herald
was through Mexico. resulting in
a series of letters as entertaining
as those he wrote a few years ago
from India, Turkey and the Holy
Lard His forth coming letters
Ireland. Russia and Germany will
rival in importance and interest
any of bis previous contributions.
Beginning his career in Chicago
as reporter in 1872. Mr.. Curtis
rapidly rose to be managing editor.
He resigned that position to &C.
ceDt a government appointment as
secretary of the South American
commission. So brilliantly did
be perform the duies of this Office
that James G. Blaine, Secretary
of State, placed him at the head
of the Bureau of American Re
publics. At the worlds fair in
Chicago he distinguished himself
as the executive head OF the Latin
American department. He is a
member of almost every learned
society in Washington and of many
in Europe. 1t is not strange that
