The Same Old Bryan.

OMAHA, July 5.-To the Editor of The
Bee: He is the same old Bryan. The at
tack on Colonel Guffey of Pennsylvania,
who supported him twice, in which he calls
him a "bushwhacker," is the Roger Sullivan
act over again. He called Grover Cleve-
land a "bunco steererS in a speech at
Urbana, o., in 1896, and accused him of
having bought his nomination in other
speeches with corruption money. He is
now shedding crocodile tears at his grave
and exhausts the. Language in hypocritical
eulogy. Mr.. Bryan is mad. He is as full
of malice and malignity as an Apache In
dian. Such a thing as gratitude is an I'M
known quantity in the very nature of w.
j. Bryan 1t is only when he loses his
From that noiseless fountain OF perennial
smirks and smiles which mask 1t with such
fine arts of repression and concealment, he
now and then explodes a Vesuvius Of wrath,
red fire and liquid lava.
Mr.. Bryan begs on his Bonded knees
and spouts harmony like a cataract. but
he cannot resist the pressure from within.
which cannot wait for revenge towards
every man Of strength who dares to assert
1t in opposition to his imperious will and
purely selfish ambitions.

whose ticket Taft and Sheldon will not
only defeat but overwhelm in November

LIGHT TOWER To COME DOWN
Committee Favors Granting Petition
of Avenue B Residents.
OTHERS MAY ALSO BE ABANDONED
Only Opposition So Far Developed
Comes from the Residents OF Oak
land Avenue, who Favor
Retaining Them.

One. Of the matters expected to come be-
fore the city council, which will meet to-
night for the regular monthly session, Is
that Of the electric light towers. Residents
in that vicinity have petitioned the council
to take down the tower at Avenue 3 and
Twenty-third street and have the lights dis
tributed along the adjoining streets. The
question Of taking down all the towers is
expected to come up for discussion, follow
ing the report of the committee on fire
and light, to which the matter Of the tower
at Avenue B was referred. II is under
stood that the committee will recommend
that this tower be taken down.
City Electrician Mckinley has been max
ing an examination of the remaining tow
ers, as It was feared that they might have
become weakened by the recent heavy
windstoTms. Mr.. Mckinley may be ready
TO report tonight, in which event the ques-
ton OF abandoning the tower system OF
street lighting probably will come up for
discussion. The only known opposition to
the removal OF the light towers comes
from the residents on Oakland avenue and
adjoining streets. They are strongly OPP
posed to the removal of the Oakland avenue
tower.

case OF Cleveland. he would have
driven him by one look into his
own boots, not a word being spoken,

presence, In Dahlman he finds a man
of whom he has a holy fear. Dahlman has
not presided at poker tables and faced faro
banks for SO long without being able to
read the character of the political gambler
as he reads a book. He has long known
that Mr.. Bryan never holds deuce high

The most serious efreot of the storm las
night In South Omaha was the washing out
Of the street railway line at Thirteenth
and X streets. This point has been a place
OF hanger ever since the line was built
The big hollow Is often flooded The deluge
which lasted over an hour last night tore the
grade out so far as TO leave the tracks
suspended in the air. Fortunately the
danger was discovered before any cars ran
into the break. After the washout all the
Albright cars crossed over on Ntnton street
to Twenty-fourth street.
Railroad avenue was also flooded to a
depth Of over a foot. Mud and timbers and
other debris made It impossible to run cars
to the end Of the line until the storm had
abated.
Several Of the troublesome street inter.
sections were again washed out.
The rain was so severe that most Of the
evening services were abandoned.

Post'a Compliment. 20 Gompers,

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, July S.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: My attention has
been called to your editorial paragraph
of May %, which is false and so unjust that
a correction should be made. The article
in question Is given herewith:
"Littlefield is driven out Of congress by
the speakers gavel and the committee on
rules" says the ST. Louis Republic. Mr..
Littlefield is a fighter and not in the least
afraid Of the speaker. He has not been
driven out OF congress-, but has been coaxed
out by a fancy salary offer from a big
corporation that manufactures akf
food and hates Samuel Gompers.
Thu truth IL that Mr.. Lttlefield was In
harmony with his co-workers in congress
and particularly in harmony will Speaker
Cannon, and the committee of which MI.
Littlefield was an honored member. He
left congress because he could not afford
to still further neglect his profession. He
has gone into the practice OF law in New
York.
The statemsnt that 'he was offered a
fancy salary by a big corporation that
manufactures breakfast food and hates
Samuel Gompers' was evidently leveled at
me-.
The story originated with Samuel Com
pers himself. 1t is only one OF a very
large number OF false statements that have
come from him,
MT. LltJleIleAu mas Deen something OF an
obstruction to Mr.. Gompers in his efforts
to strip the curtis OF power to protect peo-
pie and property against sluggers and dyna-
miters.
1t has become evident from the proceed
ings in our two national political conven-
lions, that by far the great majority OF
both democrats and republicans are advo-
Gates of peace and law and order. 1t Is
only the trembling politician who covers
and panders to men who demand subjuga-
ton of the peoples courts to the will Of
class agitators.
Mr.. Gompers and the American Fedora
ton of Labor do not represent American
labor. They represent only a very small
minority, whereas, the great majority Of
and will have nothing to do with 1t. They
believe in homes. peace, prosperity and the
steady operation of factories.
The masses of the people in this country
have faith in themselves and they are
mostly working people. I am one among
the lot and believe as they do, that human
life can be better maintained when the
sluggers and toughs keep their fingers out,
l believe in high wages. and back Of that
belief, by paying the highest scale in Mich
igan, and have done so for a good many
years. l believe we have the best grade of
workingmen in the state, but they are too
high grade to have anything to do with
Mr.. Gompers and his anti-injunction ITO
hell with the courts idea.

Graded Course.
TIL first commencement service ever held
for a Sunday school in the Episcopal do
cese Of Iowa took place Sunday after
moor in st. Paul's Episcopal church, when
. class OF five young Women was grad
uated from the regular graded course of the
Sunday school.
II had been hoped that Rev. Homer
Worthington Starr, former rector Of st.
Paul's and now rector of Christ church,
Winnetka, ILL.,. would nave been here to
present the diplomas to the graduates, but
last week he sent word that unforeseen
circumstances would prevent his visit to
Council Bluffs at this time. Rector Starr
organized the Sunday school at st. Paul's
church on Its present graded basis. His
place at the service was taken by the Very
Rev. George A. Beecher. dean Of Trinity
cathedral, Omaha, who preached the SER
mon and presented the graduates with thei-
diplomas.
The young women composing the gradual
ing class were Georgia Darlene Bond, Flor
ence May Canning, Gertrude Frances
Hooker. Theresa NJ Kinzel and Henrietta
Naomi Sauer. N. A.. Crawford, tr., a candi-
date for the Episcopal ministry, was teacher
OF the class.
The course or study used in ST. Pauls
Sunday school is that of the Sunday school
commission Of the diocese Of Iowa. modi-
fled to some extent. 1t covers a course
OF twelve years in biblical and eccles-
iastical study, the pupil being expected to
complete the course at approximately the
time when he or she is graduated from the
high school after twelve years of secular
study. A strictly graded system Of Sunday
school work has been in use in the diocese
of Iowa for only a few years, and St. Pauls
Sunday school is the first to be reorganizeC
