Tie New York World short while
ago made the charge that in consider
alton of $4,000 by Thomas f. Ryan,
of New York, fer the Nebraska cam
paign fund in 1904 and the promise
thai if the democrats carried the state
William ]. Bryan should be elected
United States Senator, Mr.. Bryan
agreed to support Judge A. 3. Parker
for President and to modify his denun-
Citations OF predatory wealth The
charge was made without any equivc-
cations and Mr.. Bryan promptly and
emphatlcally denied the WI ole story
and stated that If Mr.. Ryan had made
any such contribution he would see
that the full amount would be return
ed to him.
Now the burden Of proof is put on
The World. 1t has made direct,
specific accusation against man Of
character who meets it with direct,
specific denial, Mr.. Allen, chairman
of the Nebraska State committee, and
Mr.. Dahlman, Nebraska member OF
the National Democratic committee,
have already defied The Worlds al
legation. The World cannot afford to
drop the matter where it is. 1t mus
make good. 1t must give it's author
ity for its allegations or stand before
the country as responsible for them
and ds responsible also for malicious
falsehood and Islander. No newspaper
is strong enough to endure safely alb
solute loss of the confidence ofthe pub
lie and The World cannot expect any
measure of public confidence if it con-
tesses itself to be the conscious pur-
yeyor of deliberate and injurious scan
dial

Among the more important items OF
Legislation accomplished at the session
of Congress just ended, these may be
mentioned. The Aldrich-Vreeland en-
Urgency currency act, including the
creation of commission to study the
currency question with view to
changing tse present system; new
militia law; an employers liability law,
and one making the government liable
for Injuries received by employees in
the line of duty increase of pay for
army and navy; anarchlstlo ana sed-
itious publications, intoxicants, and
cocaine excluded from the mails; am
endment of custom laws;reorganization
of consular service, remission OF Sl0,-
S0J, 900 of the Chinese Boxer inden-
nifty; limitation of appeals from Fed
eral Court decisions. The Senate rat
flied thirty-seven treaties-more than
ia tweney years before-including
twelve arbitration treaties. A cham
paign publicity law was not enacted
nor any law limi ed the use OF lpJunct-
ions by Federal courts, either In
cabor disputes or against the execution
OF Stale laws; there was no amend
ment of the antitrust law; ne act was
passed regulating the transportation OF
of Intoxicating liquors into prohibition
territory; the duties Oh wood-pulp ana
paper were not repealed;the Appalach
ian and White Noun tain forest re-
serves were not provided for. Some OF
these much taIked-of measures went
through one house or another; some
passed neither. Ia the matter Of APP
preparations thisCongress has Surpassed
its predecessors The total o. appro-
priations for the next fiscal year is stat
cd at 81 zoos, S04 1894. That includes Pan
anna Canal expenditures, to be covered
by bonds. Treasury officials estimate
probable revenues at SS7S, 100000 in
round Numbers, but Representative
Fitzgerald (Democrat), of the Approp-
riations committee, says $685., O0O, 900 is
probably c,rrect.

Col. Rossi NJ Fisher, of Berkeley
Springs and Fairmont was in town
on Monday on a Political mission. 1t
is said that the Col. Is candidate for
the republican nomination for state
Senate. With Fisher on the ,epubli-
eas ticket Campbell and Mclntire
could both run without any danger of
the democrats losing the district. With
Fishers record before the people he
could hardly get the scattered vote.

1t seems strange that W bile every
body was in favor of law being enact
cd by Congress requiring the publica-
ton of all campaign contributions,
there could not.be found time to pass
such law. Congress had the whole
summer before it. Both Taft and
Bryan urged it and yet there was NOT
enough sincerity in Congress to tai e
up and press such bill. There evil
IDENTIFY was good deal of insinserity
in the p'etended Willingness upon the
part of congress in the matter The
republicans lacked sincerity to take
up the matter and the democrats were
certainly not very enthusiastic i'll the
matter for they urged it only in sort Of
half hearted way.
