William Jennings Bryan was formally
notified of his nomination for the Presi-
dency on the democratic ticket, on the
I2th inst, and the occasion was one in
which party lines were not strictly drawn,
the republican Governor Of Nebraska and
others not of Bryau's political persuasion
joining in the popular demonstration
given in honor ofthe great commoner
Mr.. Bryan arraigned the republican
party in vigorous manner, declaring in
his speech Of acceptance that the great
reforms essential to the country's welfare
could not be effected by that party, which
had been given every opportunity of full
filling its promise to enact beneficial
legislation and had not only failed to do
so but had instead,tended to foster and
encourage he'predatory interests, which
are permitted to rob the people BY extor-
tion, almost at will.
Under Speaker Cannon's regime the
House Of Representatives has ceased to
be deliberative body, which fact but
tends to emphasize the declaration Of Mr..
Bryan that the great issue in this cam
paign is Shall the people rule" He
declares that the platform adopted by the
National Democratic Convention con.
tains nothing from which he dissents and
fully represents his views.
In declaring for the publication Of
campaign contributions before election
Mr.. Bryan insists the republican are not
only opposed TO any such publicity meas.
ures, but are. determined to evade the
issue.
The remedial legislation favored is
squarely stated. with the declared inten-
tiou II elected of calling special session
Of Congress for the enactment of certain
reform measures, showing the determine
tion that there shall be no delay or eva
sion In the part ofhis party to redeem its
campaign promises.

The attitude of the railroads towar

The attitude of the railroads towards
the democratic Presidential ticket is
clearly shown by their refusal to grant
reduced excursion rates to Lincoln, Neb.,
on the occasion of the Bryan notification.
The railroads granted excursion rates
to Cincinnati for the Taft notification, and
If their action indicates anything it is,
that the predatory interests are backing
the republican nominee. 1t would ap.
pear that the railroads have oyerstepped
themselves in thus openly opposing
Bryan, and their attitude will turn many
a vote of the independent, thinking class
to the democratic ticket.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

That the Japanese Government is work.
ing to improve agricultural conditions
and thereby become less dependent upon
foreign countries in the future is shown
by a report sent here by Hunter Sharp,
United States Counsel at Kobe. Mr..
Sharp says:
Japan has al area of I48,852 square
miles, and, according to the census of
1906, a population Of 43. 3o4. 1877. Sixty
per cent. of the people are agriculturists,
and yet on account of the mountainous
nature of the country, only about one
sixth ofthe total area is under cultivation
Efforts are being made to enlarge the
small irregular lots into which arabic land
is divided; to rearrange and straighten
roads built for agricultural purposes and
waterways; to put to profitable uses pieces
of1and which now lie waste among Guilt
waited fields; to improve land by irrigation,
and to promote the use of machinery in
agricultural pursuits.
Recent investigations have been made
as to the possibility Of converting wood
lands into rice fields by utilizing the
water of certain rivers and the scheme
has been found feasible. AS the result,
5000 acres Of land in this prefecture alone
will be taken up for cultivation in the
near future" o

It IS estimated that it will require be-
ween $500, 900 and 1000, 600 to finance
the legitimate campaign expenses of the
democratic party IN the coming Presi-

treasurer of the National Committee will
appeal to individual States for contribus
lions. Each State. under the direction
of its national committeeman or fnan.

pose, will determine its own method Of
raising money.

tariff matters, fud themselves up against
what seems much like stonewall. The
American Commissioners were armed
with "a large bundle Of complaints from
American exporters. alleging that the
French custom authorities had been per-
|sisently and hagrantly discriminating
against American products seeking entry
into France.
When these complaints were laid before
the French> Tariff Commissioners ap-
pointed by the Paris Government to nego-
tiate with the American Commissioners,
the Frenchman came back very promptly
and gravely with long series of similar
complaints from French exporters to the
United States, who alleged that our Gus.
toms authorities were bearing down with
almost intolerable harshness on their
business.
In short, the French issioners,
who are among the ablest men in the.
French service, made it entirely plain
from the outset of the egotiations that if
anything was to be accomplished in the
way of reaching better understanding
between the two Governments, very
material concessions would have to be
made by the United States in the inter-
est of French products seeking admission
to this country.

than 500 theatres for from to 10 per

aires controlled by the trust The man
ager said he had had many such expert
fences, and that the trust was gradually
driving him out Of business.

One Complaint Filed.-Only one
complaint was filed today for viola
ton of the Sunday-closing law, and
that was against the keeper of a beer
hall in the suburbs of the city. Sever
al saloon men, supposed to be visitors
at the hall, are named as witnesses
in the complaint, and it seems to be
the opinion of not a few that the
whole business was arranged by those
opposed to Sunday closing and with
/ the view of "springing a surprise"
should the case be called to trial
Gipsies DepOrted.-Thirty gipsies
composed of Russians, Servians and
Cicilians, tried to enter this country
last Thursday via Rio Grande City.
However, they were held in denten-
ton there by Immigrant Inspector D.
B. Hopkins, stationed there, until the
arrival of Inspector In Charge H. G..
Dubose who. in company with Clerk
Harmon Milled, left here for Rio
Grande City last Friday morning. All
thirty of these gipsies were deported
on account of being liable to become
public charges. From Rio Grande
City Inspector In Charge Dubose and
Clerk Miller came down to Sam For
dyce where seven more of them, all
Russians, were corraled. This bunch
consisted of two men, two women and
three children. These were brought
here by Inspector In Charge Dubose
and deported yesterday afternoon
via MatamoroS on the same grounds
as the others were. When Inspector
In Charge Dubose alighted from the
train yesterday afternoon with this
motley group, they were the center
of attraction. The men in the party
were dressed in typical Russian cos
tunes. wearing baggy trousers that
came below their knees and over their
boot tops, their vests having brass
buttons enough to delight Mexican
army officer. The women, too, were
dressed in true gypsy fashion, some
of them having on clothes that would
have outrivaled Joseph's coat OF
many colors. A great service was
rendered the border country wher
these vagabonds were refused admit
lance by the immigration officials, a:
they are a roaming lot of beggars anC
natural thieves. This is the same
bunch that a short while ago applied
for admission into this country at La
redo and were refused.
