HE MAKES A SPEECH OF THREE HOURS Bills Tntroduced Looking to the Admission of Arizonn and New Mexico—Charges Against Judge MeCormick talned—Senate Proceedings, Wasmixoroy, D. €., March 10.—Major McKinley is now out of congress and in the govarnor's chair of the state of Ohio, but the principal speaker in the house today on tho tariff quostion was 1n person, features, voice and gestures so like him that an old- time member might have fancied that time’ had turned back in its filght and he was listening again to Major MoKiuley as a young man in congress making ono of lils first tariff speeches, ‘The comparison would have ended with the appearance of the speaker, how- ever, for Mr. Bryan of Nobraska, the proto- typeof Major McKinloy, attacked the law which the latter had framed and took ad- vanced ground against the protective policy which Ohio's governor bas always advocated in congress. Thespeechof Mr. Iiryan re vived the flagging interast in tho tarift dis- cussion, It wes the featuto of the day, and us tho young Nebraskan warmed up the small body of listencrs ho had at the sturt was auginented by the cossippers i the cloak rooms until he had tho careful atten- tion of a majority of the house—something unusual in this devate, Ingenious and Interesting. M. Bryan's voico was strong and_clear, his personality pleasing, his gestures simple, but forcible, liko thoso of Major McKinloy, his argument ingenious and bis illustrations oright and apropos to his arguments, Ono of tho best of these illustrations was whon ho smd the protoction theory reminded him of his days on the farm, when they used to raiso sunken corners of fences by putting a beam under the corner, placing a chunk in the middle and then bearing down on the otherend it raiscd the fence, but tho burdon was felt somowhere. The protectionist, he said, took hold of an infant industry, then lookea around for a good, fatlotof cou- sumers to serve as a_chunk. *Up went tho infant industry, but down went the con- sumers,” said Mr. Bryan, and lns colleagues applauded. The republicans interrunted Mr. Bryan with & number of hard, wuotty questions in favor of their side of the argument, but the manner in which they were paricd’ showed tbe speaker to be cool and collected, and, although young in congressional exverience, accastomed to give and take in debute. He was down for _only two hours, but the Louse gavo him another hour and thon wanted him to keep on. Bills and On motion of Mr. Richardson of Tennessee a coucurrent resolution was agreed to for the printing of 45,000 additional copius of the special report on the diseases of horses. Mr. Joseph of New Mexico, from the com- mittee on territories, reported a bill for the admission of New Moxico as a state of the union. ‘Iha calendar was then taken up. Mr. Smith of Arizona, from the committee on territorics, reported a bilt for the admis- sion of Arizona. Mr. Gooonightwof Kentucky, from the com- mittee ou judiciary, reported back adversely the resolution proferring charges against Andrex P. McCormick, United States ais- trict judge for the northern district of Texas. I'he report was agreed to and the resolution was laid upon the table. ‘The houso then went into committee of the whoie, Mr. Blount of Georgia in the chair, on the free wool bills and was addressed by Mr. Sayres of Texas. riis speech was largely statisticnl and mainly devoted to a scathing criticism on thoe financial policy of the admin- istration, which, be said, was so bad that when the bonds fell due in 1891 the adniins- tration was compelled to appeal to the hold- ers of these bonds to coutinue them to the extent of £25,:304,500. If this bad been done by tho Briush ministry, he said, it would nave been hurled from power in disgrace within & inonth after the fact had becomo known and Parliament had assembled, Mr. Bryan's Tarllt Talk, Mr. Bryan of Nebraska followod. 1n perfect sympathy with the committee on ways and means iu its docision 10 attack the tanf in detail. The main rea- soa for preferring this plan was that there was s0mo possibility of bringiug relief from the burdens of the present law in_this way. It was conceded that the passageof @ general tariff bill av this session of congress was av- solutely impossible. 1f they should succeed 10 making any reduction in any of the schod uies it would have done something, and the rehief actually brought was worth more to the peoplo generully, and, therefore, more to tho democratic party than the mere makiug of a record. The pending bill brought groat ad- vantage to nine men and simply to the tenth man the advantaze which he had enjoyed of collecting monoy from the other nine. ‘Thero had been a timo in tue history of Ne. braska when its peoplo had ouo sheop per capita, the mutton age, 50 to speak. But alas! that day nad pussed. Now, if every woman in the statonamed Mary wanted a pet lamb she would have to go outof the state to got enough lambs to go round, Henefits of Freo Trade. After reviewing the binding twine and ocotton tit bill, Mr. Bryan said in conclu- sion: *The country hus nothing to fear from the democracy upon the tariff question. 1t means a more equal distribution of the great advantages of this country. It means that the men who produce the weaith shall retain & larger share of it it means that enterpriso shall be employed in natural and profitable industries, not in unpatural and unstaple industries, It means more constont employment for labor and better pay, 1t means the muximuw of produot fro miimum of toil. It means com- merce with other countries, and ships to carry on that commerce. It means pros- verity everywhere and not by piecemeal, It is for this reason that the young men of the country ave cowing to the democratic party, as Mr. Clarkson, that Ligh republican authority, declared, It is because we are right, and right will triumph. The day will me’ and that soon, trust, when wiser economic policies will prevail' than those to which the republican are wedded, when the laws of this country will be made for all and not for a few; when those who annually con- gregate about this capitol seeking Lo use the wxing power for purposes of private greed will have lost their occupation; when the burdeus of government will be equally dis- wributed and its blessiugs liiewise. Hail that day! When it comes, to use the language of auother, *‘democracy will be king. Loug live the king!” [Loud applause. | ““I'ne advocates of the MeKinley bill had thought that the people were bound hand and foot. Where were the considerators today!

All they knew wus that tho applications calied for filings on sections 16 and As Re ter Gillispie and Receiver Towle cast their eyes over thefirst application they remaviced : ““This application states that you desire to file upon a school saction, and you know that you cannot do that, The attorney for Stewart, who stood in the front row, was equal to the occasion, and he at once pulled the law on the land oftice. He read from land office reports and cited the ofticials to ths treaty with the Ponca ln- dians, by which the lands of their reserva- tion were to revert to the Unitea States and becomo subject to homestead entry, ‘The land officials admitted that such was tho case, but denied that sections 16 and 6 followed the rule. Those sections passed to the state for the bouctit of the public schools and eould only be disposed of in accordanco with tho laws of the state, Merely Accepted the Papers, The uattorney held to a different opinion ana maintained that by the treaty with the Poneas all school sections ou the reservation became public land and subject to homestead entry. The laud officials stated that thaty was & question that had never been raised and for that reason they would not pass upon the papers without a thorough investigation. ‘Tney would accept the papers, noto the hour when received and pass upon the legal point when they nad looked up the law in the case. All of the papors passed over the land oftice counter and Stewart's mission had ended. He had performed his part of the contract and was entitled to_the deposit, which was estimated at from £5,000 to §10,000. Among the Sioux City peopie who houzht wereJ. S. Browning, B.

Jay and Doputy County Clerk C. S, Holman, They Were Beautifully Stuck. After it was all over they commenced to wonder where the lana was located, and the land district map was consulted. An inves- tigation showed thot the place whero they had located was on the old PPonca reservation in Boyd county, and from thirty-five to fifty miles” from railroad, city, town or hamlet. T’hen there a few waiis that went heaven- wards, as most of the men had been given to understand that the lands were close to towns. ‘I'he famous land classed as AA was close to'town, but the town was Butte City, the county seat of Boyd county, but what a town.” Men who had visited the burg stated that a contest was pending against the town site. On some of tho lands, as previously stated, the lawyer said thero were sottlers, but ho cheered the down-hoarted ones by telling them that ihoso settlers wera men who had exhaustod their homestead rights and were just holding onto the land hopin, 1o sell ont. But the worst backsel the prospictive millionaires got was when the land office ofti clals poured large quantities of cold water over their hoves, convincing them that they had pald exorbitant prices for their whis- iles, The ofticials volunteered the informa- tion that in tho whole of Boyd county but 42000 acres had beon homesteaded, and that Athere remained $150,000 acres subject to entry, and that by simply paying the sum of $14 dny man could secure a quarter soction, providing he bad not oxhausted bLis home stead right. With this information w breasts the disconsolate ‘joux Cityans nursed their sorrow, wished Jor the money that they bad blown in and hurried to the Short Line train that had been beld for their accommodation, They Stmpty Trusted Stewart, Before their departure some of the men ex pressed thomselves in regard to the msuner in which they had been haudled, Before leaving Sioux City Tuesday oveaing, Stew- art stated that tho land was closo to' towns and markets. Ho aiso stated that it was valuable, being worth from 300 to #4,000 per quarter section. At the'same time he told them that wien ouce aboard the tramn he would show all of the plats and givo the exact location of each tract, This ho did not do, and they know nothing about tho locution until after they bad paid over their woney. Parties in this city who were on the ground floor state that the deal has ot turned out as they wore given to understand it would. The idea was hela out to them that some striking irrogularities had beeu discovered in proofs that were made some years ago, that the entries were to be sct aside and L were Lo have been located on lauds along the tine of the Short Line road in the eastern art of this county. Toey udmit thut they ave beon taken iu aud that Stewart has grossly misrepcesented the facts. They state that it was generally known that there was any amount of vacant land wu Boyd county, and they now wonder why they paid their cash for krowledge that was already in their possession. Could Easily Have 1 Both the receiver and rogi pped in their the Truth r of the land co the Btew- art schome s an out and out steal the land seekers paid good money | mation that should not have cost them one cont. Tho recoras of the lana office ave pub lic and any man had a perfect right to look them over for tha purpose of ascertaining where “there was government land, Any person by examining the plats of the office could havo soen that thousands of wcres of lund in and avbout Butte City, Boyd county, was vacantand subject to homestead entries. This thoy could have learned with outbuying information, If they had desired to have filed uvon the land they would have beon at no expense, other than the goveru ment fee, which was €14 in each case. IRCHBISHOT e Defends the Catholic Chureh 1n Americn and Denounces Cahensly's Falsehoods. Bosroy, Mase., Marcn 16, ~Tho Pilot tains an interview botween Archbishop Ire- land and its correspondent iu Rome, from which this import passage is extracted : “I am glad to bo able to say that the Roman authorities, both at the vatican and the propaganda, declaro themselves doter- minod to maintain the heivarchial unity ot the church in America and to aliow no effort t0 be mado in the namo of religien toward retarding the assimilation of the different populations in America and encouraging the political and social unification of all the cin- zens of the land.
