Lincoln, Neb., home of William Jen-

Bryan's well known views on the

the means taken by its excise board
to prevent the sale OF liquor to habit
ual drunkards. Under the ordinances
Of that city the relatives and near
friends OF the chronic topers may
warn saloonkeepers against selling
liquor to them, and II the warning is
dlsregarded the saloonkeeper is sub
ject to n heavy fine. Under the ruling
Of the excise board Of Lincoln the per-
son giving such warning must furnish
not only complete description Of the
drunkard, but his photograph as we'll,
and this photograph md the legal M
tlce to desist from selling liquor to the
person in question will be posted up
behindw the bar as an aid to the bar
tender in identifying the prescribed

There Is a squabble going on in the
erstwhile happy Democratic family
over the tariff on wool. Represents
tives Underwood's Ways and Means
Committee has prepared bill which
reduces the duties on wooden manutac-
lures. The calculation is that this re-
ductfon viii increase the revenue de-
rivable from this source, which at
present is $20,0O0,O00, but with the
best OF god will the committe hasn't
been able to figure 1t out that the in
crease will be as much as $21. 0O0, 900,
which is the amount obtained from the
present dnty on raw wool. Its cipher
ings show that to put raw wool on the
free list would produce a shortage OF
s13, 900, 10000, and II is, therefore, in
tending to propose that enough OF the
duty on raw wool be retained to make
up that sum.
But this doesn't suit Mr.. Bryan. His
sensitive soul revolts against what he
considers the sacrifice of principle
which 1t involves, and he is PUBLISH.
ing an article in the Commoner, writ,
ten in his best style, in which this
base surrender to the enemy is del
nounced IN good set terms without the
slightest consideration for Chairman
Underwood s. feeling or for. the respect

Ways and Means committee and as
the Democratic floor leader in the
