We went to a Chinese inn after hunting at several places that were full. We were afraid we could not go north as the rebels were reported to have reached the rail- road there too. but we went on the next day and reached Picking at about o'clock at night, and again went to a Chinese inn.

Mr.. Bryan of Nebraska Is a good
man and has done much good for his
country, but he is not perfect. If he
were he would not keep up his useless
and mischievous fight against Senator
Martin of Virginia, whom the senate
democrats chose as caucus chairman,
as they had a right to do, despite Mr..
Bryan's protest. What II Senator Mar
tin did vote with Aldrich twenty-eight
times, he has shown no partially to
the little squad of democratic reaction
aries in the senate; but, on the con-
trary, has proven himself capable
and fair chairman of the caucus, CIV
ing to the progressiyes the best OF
the committee assignments, as was
right because they are large ma
jority. 1t is not so much what Senator
Martin has done in the past as what
he is doing now that is important.
Mr.. Bryan is big man, but not big
enough to boss the whole democratic
