Lambertson was the tion which drew a fair audience to the meeting of the Fourth Ward club which was held in Grand Army of the Republic hall last night. His address consisted of two divisions, the first belng a roast Congressman Bryan, and the second a eulogy of Tom Majors. In the course of his remarks he said: “Mr. Bryan seems to be an issue in this campaign. I speak of him personally, since neither the term populist or democrat quite seems to fit him. He considers himself too big for either label. He seems to be running with both the hare and the hounds. It is a wonder that the democrats follow Bryan. When he ran for corgr two years ago, did any one ever hear him say & good word for Cleveland, the ablest and the best man in the party, or for any mem- attrac- ber of the democratic ticket? Could you tell whether he was for Morton or for Van Wyck for governor? Suppose that !the democratic convention nominates a ticket this fall and endorses Bryan's candidacy for the senate, will Mr. Bryan support openly on the stump Ahe democratic nominees or will he continuc to the character in ‘Pilgrim’s Progress’ Facing Both Ways?" Coming down to Holcomb, the speaker was convinced that he would prove no better than Allen, who had been an advo- cate of free silver, free trade the Sugar trust and of Coxey's army. Tom Majors he consider:d a good, strong man, and one who would preserve the credit of the state. The annual mceting of the Young Men's Christian association was held this evening.

After holding an informal meeting in the morning it was found that a large number of the delegates were delayed by late trains and the convention adjourned until 2 p. m., while the local bankers took charge of the visitors and escorted them over the eity. PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. Rev. Joseph T. Duryca opened the after- noon_ session with prayer, and President C. F. Bentley of Grand Island delivered his annual address, as follows: “Since we last met the business interests of this country have been subjected to a severe strain; a financial crisis has convulsed Miller, Omaha; J. this country, testing the strength of mauy an institution of goodly fame, not only wrecking the feeble, but invclving some really sound concerns.” The speaker went on to state that many concerns had been caught in the financial malstrom by a lack of conservatism in their dealings, and thought that the lesson had been of enough severity to not again let them forget the principles of a sound banking system. He dwelt on the subject of speculation as l:ading many finan- cially solid men into_disastrous investments, and defined the difference between the spec- ulator and conservative business man by say- ing that the former gambles on a chance, while the latter hedges against it. “Beginning with the partial loss of crops in 1890 and the Baring panic in the latter part of the same year,” said Mr. Bentley, “we were confronted with conditions that startled us, Though these conditions were far from cor:forting, vet in the light of sub- sequent events they were doubtiess of no small advantage to this state and others simi- larly situated, The financial stringeney that then prevailed caused us to more closely scan the permanent worth of sccurities and cred- its, and to challenge the value of certain kinds of property, and to question whether certain enterprises were not being unduly developed as compared with the development of our chief industry—agriculture The effects of financial disorder in Argentine Re- public and Australia and the efforts of Aus- tralia to place its currency on a gold basis, has exerted serious influences on American finances.” Mr. Bentley then spoke of the prosperity of the previous twenty years, and the large amount of foreign capital which had been attracted to this country. Inflated values fol- lowed, and insolvent men imagined they were milionaires. Banks and other financial in- stitutions became involved. and then every- thing declined, bringing about the *present crisis. The bank stands exposed on all sides by the fear of its depositors and the demands and needs of its borrowers. “In our state, opportunities for legitimate enterprises have been open on eeyry hand, and both capital and labor reaped rich re- turns. That there should have been no greater disaster than has been among the financial institutions of this state speaks volumes for the prudence and conservatism of our business men. But it is not the part of wisdom to cover up our ‘mistakes, or try to condone our faults. We cannot emphasize the fact that if we had been more con- servative we would not have met with any disaster in these trylng times, and more than one failure has been the result of ignorance of business laws “After the severity of the storm had passed us we at once began to adjust ourselves to the new conditions and look forward to a return of our former prosperous condition, and the result of the growing crops, but this hope has been doomed to bitter disappoint- ment, for in many sections the crops are all but a total fallure, and this fact will seriously retard the advanccment of the state for the e being. No duty can weigh more heavily on any one than the obligation which rests on a banker to see that the funds entrusted to his care are properly invested, and that the confidence of the depositors may not be mis- placed. Charged with such a duty, ignor- ance and weakness become criminal, and the deliberate perversion of a bank's funds be- comes infamous.” The president recommended the co- operative banking systems of Eogland and Germany while discussing the subject of small loans, which is now quite an important part of the present banking system. These banks are conducted much the same as build- ing assoclations manage their affairs, and aro the means of giving the people a practi- cal education in general banking laws and rules. After the president’s address reports were recelved from the executive committee, the cretary and treasurer, showing that the affairs of the association were in a prosperous condition, and that the membership was rapidly Increasing, Miscellaneous business reports of various committes and addresses followed from the different members. A letter was read from ex-Comptroller of the Currency Hepburn, In which he adveeated a revision of the present banking laws. The bankers thought that he offered some wise suggestions. C. E. Adams of Superior gave a good re- view of the financisl question and hoped to see a board appointed to take financial leg- islation out cf the hands of congress and place It into the hmin of an especially ap- pointed committee. Fully 100 attended the banquet at the Millard last night. Hefity W. Yates made a pleasant speech aowiicalled on Colonel Cornish, The cslonel. responded in & humor- ous vein and was follgwed by E. H. O'Brien and others. The conténty will meet at 10 o'clock this morning. ———— TARGET PRACTIUVE BEGINSIN EARNEST Rifle and Carbine Experts Make Good Scores At the Known Olstance Firlng, BELLEVUE, Neb., Sept. 18.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Annual rifle competition Department of the Platte, first day's firing: |- ] 9 | 23 a | =24 2 | B a g Ja Name, Rank, Company.

Sullivan—you remember him, don't you—he is the man that licked everybody on the face of the earth and thought some of getting up a scrap with the man in the moon. Nobody could lick Sullivan—no, indeed—the boys up here bet all they had on Sullivan and then waltked home. Corbett licked him, you know that. You will ob- serve that above there are 8-—Sullivans—and in Omaha there are as many “old clothing houses”—but there is above also but 1—Corbett, as there is but one “live clothing house” in Omaha.

Miss Wells returned from a lecturing tour through England, where she said she was received very cordially, about September 1. Her tour lasted about three menths, and was undertaken at the solicitation cf a lady philinthropist of that country. Since her return to this country she has lectured but rarely, consuming the time in recuperation. On Monday, however, she lectured in Des Moines, where a large audience greeted her, which after her lecture adopted a resolution denouncing lynch law. From this city she returns to Chicago, which is her hrme, and on October 1 she will start upon a lecturing tour, which will embrace the cities of the north and east and some in the west. In answer to a question as to her cbject in lecturing in a country 3,000 miles from the one in which the crusade is being pushed, Miss Wells sal “I had tried for a kg time to bring the attention of the pulpit, press and the national bodies to the lawless- ness existing in the country against the N negroes. In almost every case I was snubbed, and I came to the conclusicn that the public was not in condition to receive the principles 1 am advocating. Therefore when I received the Invitation T thought it an op- portunity I should not neglect, but when I perceived that public opinfon was hecoming aroused here 1 returned immediately, drop- lead to TOTAL BLINDNESS.” Our abllity to ndjust ginsses wafely and correctly is beyond question.
