Bx-Speaker Reed’s caustic criticlsm of the man who carried an extract from his Boston speech all the way to Denver in twist its meaning into something dircetly contradicted by the context evidently hit the mark. That is the only explanation that can be given Congressman Bryan's squeal, order to Senator Wolcott Is the latest addition to the list of martyrs to the avenging efgy, all because of his opposition on the floor of the senate to the bill compelling the Rock Island railroad to stop at towns outside of Its regular stations.

If Omaha is this year to hold out the usual amount of employment to artisans and laborers, private enterprise must come to the front. The city finds itself in the pecu- liar predicament of having its hands so tied as to prevent it from undertaking very ex- tensive public improvements. Hampered by tho close approach of its bonded indebted- ness to the limit fixed by charter, it is even doubtful whether all of the bonds already voted can he legally issued until the tax valuation is raised. At the last city elec- tion the people authorized the issuc of $50,000 intersection paving bonds, $75,000 sewer bonds and $200,000 market house bonds. The money realized from the sewer bonds will doubtless all be expended this year, but the council can not order paving until petitions signed by the requisite num- ber of abutting property owners are sub- mitted, so that the expenditure of the inter- paving fund depends upon private enterprise. As to the proceeds of the bonds voted for market house purposes, the legal complications over the right of the city to make use of Jefferson square as a site bid fair to subject the whole proposition to con- siderable delay. Under the declsion of the district court only a small fraction of the $200,000 can be applied to the construction of the bullding, which alone gives employ- ment to labor. The county fortunately has at its command $150,000, which it proposes to expend in the improvement of county roads and thus to materially augment this year's work of public improvement.

Mr. Wolcott =aid he did not understand that an agreement between Senators Harris and Aldrich bound the rest of the senate, and he, for one, should not hesitate to move an adjournment, an session, or to_obtain a_quorum. Senators Mande that, accord senate, an agreement by unanimous consent bound all senators, whether or not they were present when the agreement was reached, so Mr. Wolcott subsided, Mr. Dolph made the point of order that the question of a quorum having been raised could not be withdrawn, and the presiding offi (Mr. Allen of Nebraska) sustained the point in spite of the protests of Mr. Quay who apologized for unintentionally violating the agreement. Enough senators came In during the roll call to make a quorum. Mr. Peffer then re- sumed his speech, in the course of which he said that the bill discriminated against the farmer and that the only thing the agri- cultural classes asked was that they should receive the same protection as the man facturer did. He sald it was out of o) to call the Wilson bill a tariff measure, and he criticised free wool, claiming the farmers was not benefited, nor was any one else.
