wast beehive, which expanfed at intervals Into a deafening burst of sound. It was ten minutes before 8 o'clock when Mr, Thurston passed down the center aisle, accompanied by John C. Wharton, Then the soattering cheers were concentrated and in- tensified into one wild, tumultuous ery. Men and women stood upon the thelr handkerchiefs, and hats flew recklessly from wearers who cared little if they went home bareheaded. The ovation Increased in volume as the speaker mounted the platform and continued long after he had taken his seat. SAME THING REPEATED. Soarcoly had the confusion incldent to Mr. Thurston's entrance subsided when Mr. Bryan followed him to the platform. Then the samo scene was repeated, and, judging by appearances, the sympathies of the great audience were very fairly divided bety the orators of the evening. Besides speakers, the rostrum was occupled by a large representation of the prominent leaders of both partles, many of whom were accom panied by their wives. Among them wer Mayor Bemls, C. J. Smyth, John C. Whar ton, O. J. Greene, E. Rosewater, Judg George W. Doane, Judge Joseph Blair, C. R. Scott, W. R. Kelly, J. H ¥ James E. Boyd, Dr. E. W. Lee, J. J. 0'Con- nor, B. E. B. Kennedey, A. Churehill, Frank E. Moores, A. P. Tukey, Colongl Henry W. Akin, B Thomas, B. M. Bart fett, G. M. Hitchcock, Mrs. E. W. Peattie, Judge I. M. Baxter, Charles Conoyer, Daniel H. Wheeler, W. A. Page, B. C. Holmes, T. D. Crane, 8. R. Rush, R, S. Hall, J. H. Van Dusen, Thomas Swobe, C. L. Chaffee, W Poppleton, Clem Deaver, Dr. 8. K. Spalding, E. Benedict, L. D. Richards, R. B. Schneider of Fremont, and Dr. Robinson of the Amer- fean Protective league of New York City. After the arrival of the speakers Colonel Frank E. Moores stepped forward and pinned on Mr. Thurston's lapel an immense badge of red, white and biue silk the signif cance of which was stated in the following fnseription: ‘‘Presented by the Irish Ameri- can Protective club of Douglas county, Ne- ‘braska, to Hon. John M. Thurston, as a token of esteem for his powerful advocacy of the reciprocity principles of the late James G. Blaine and the patriotic pollcy of William McKinley. No Union Jack in ours. Hurrah for the stars and the stripes and protection to American industries’” This was the sig- nal for another outburst from the audience .and Mr. Thurston acknowledged the tribute in the progress of his speech. GETTING STARTED, In_introducing the first speaker, Mr. J. ©. Wharton stated that the audience was evidently aware that it was the purpose of the two speakers to discuss the political issues between the two great parties of the United States. It was useless to suggest, ho sald, to request of the vast audience the utmost courtesy and consideration, Mr. Wharton stated the conditions of the de- bate, saying that Mr. Thurston would open the debate with one hour’s time, that Mr. Bryan would follow for one hour and twenty minutes. and that Mr. Thurston would have twenty minutes in which to close. “And now,” sald Mr. Wharton, “it gives me the greatest pleasure to present to you a4 man who needs no Introduction to an American audience, our distinguished fellow citizen, townsman, statesman, patriot and friend, Hon. John M. Thurston.” That part of the vast audience which champloned the cause of Mr. Thurston, rose as a man to give him welcome. Men cheered and women waved their handker- chlefs. For two minutes the ovation con- tinued, and It was seven minutes long before the speaker could commence his argument. There were hundreds of men standing in the aisles, obstructing the view of those sitting behind, and it was not until the police had succeeded In forcing them back to the rear before any semblance of order was fully restored. Mr. Thurston then y Fellow Citizens; I regret that I am again compelled to ask the indulgence of this magnificent audience for the worn out condition of my voice, but I have every rea- 8on o believe that with your patience I will be able to make myself heard. I cannot and dare not assume that this gathering here has anything In it of personal tribute to the participants in this debate, I prefer, rather, to believe that it testifies the desire of the people of our country to hear discussed those vital questions upon which depends the pros- perity of this glorious republic. am here tonight by invitation to engage in a joint discussion of the questions at issue between the republican and democratic par- ties. Yesterday afternoon my learned op- gonent, In open debate, marked out certain grounds of discussion, along the lines of seats and waved | | legisliation. | this country experfenced the terrible distress which it was my pleasure to follow. He re- served it until this evening to discuss the great fssue of the tariff. Therefore, with the side issues cleared away, I am at his solicitation to discuss from the republican standpoint the great question of the Amer- dean tariff. I shall endeavor to speak plainly, directly and clearly, and will exclude from my effort any attempt at oratory or elo- quence. PLENTY OF TIME TO THINK. ‘“The people are ready to think. They are in a condition to think. Two years ago the pecplo were too busy to think upon the polit- dcal questions of the day. Now they have lttle else to engage their minds. Now they have plenty of time for thought and reflec- tion. (Laughter and applanse from repub- lcans and a voice, “You're all right, John.") “Instend of attempting to enlist your sy pathies or arouse your enthusiasm, I sha endeavor to speak somo word, or suggest some thought to be considered and deliber- ated on by the American fireside, for in my Judgment there is no placo where American citizens can so well it themselves to polit- fcally act as by the firesides of American homes. It matters not tonight that the Amerlcan firesides are cheerless. They are 8till the places for political thinking, and the homo that Is tonight lacking the necessities of life is the hot bed of American political thought. ““The republican party stands today where it has always stood, not in favor of any par- ticular tariff measure, but in favor of the great American theory of protection. . Pro- tection insists that American labor " shall have the opportunity te do the work for the Amerlean people. Frea trade Insists that forelgn labor shall do the work for the Amer- ican people. The one,great question of the hour s the difference 'between the price of things and the price of men. Democratic free trade stands for the cheapness of things, while the republican platform stands for decent prices for the labor of men. ““The Amerlcan people never have any diffi- culty In settling political questions right if they are well read in the political history of our country. For, given a certain political condition, there will always be certain re- sulls, The fall of protection in American dhilstory will be attributed alone to the forget- fulness of the American people. SOME TARIFF HISTORY, “There have been four great eras of pro tection, and four great eras of a revenue tarift, fu the United States. When our country had won its independence no national power was left In our government to levy a tariff upon imported goods, and from the close of the revolution to 1789 this country was flooded with the cheaply made goods. The fact 1s attested by George Washington, John Adams, James Madison and James Monroe. George Washington signed with his own hand the first great act of the new American con- gress, and Its title declared that it was SERIES NO. 39-40 THE AMERICAN ENCYCLOPAEDIC DICTIONARY. - 4200 Pages. 260,000 Words ANSTRUCTIVE AND USEWUL, 4 Nine of Knowledge and a Mint op Usefulness. + _There are more things inatructive, usefuy 08 smtertatiing (b that great bock, “The erican Encyclopedic Dictionary,” thaa i similar publication ever insied. *ula greal work, wow i tho fires Within 1ho' reach of everyone, jue publication, for 1t Iy at tho same ting & pericel dictionary aud & €omploto enosolg: Ouly that uumber of W0 Look corresp g wilh the serios nUIbOR 0f 1o 00U ted will be deliver.d. % Sunday s nd Three Week-day eoupons With 15 centa in coin, will buy ong pack of Tho American ucyclopedia Diodoar Ary.

History declarss that from the hour that act took effect pros- perity blessed our land, factorles sprung up like maglc along the New HEngland coast, prices’ were regulated by American ompe- tition and all classes of the American people were enjoying in truth and in fact the bles- sings of free government under protective “In 1816 our lawi changed. Danlel W upon the tariff were pstor, Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay have all drawn pletures of the immediate and terrible distress visited upon the American people almost as soon as that act became a law, and for elght years socasioned by that first freo trade bill, So great was the distress that Andrew Jackson, one of the fathers of the democratic party was an advoeate of the restoration of the protective tarlff, and it was his alm while a member of the United States senate; and Jackson, in his first message to congress after he had been elected president, testified to the good results that followed the res- toration of protection. ““Another period of free trade followed in 1833, and It drove this country to that des- peration which resulted in the election of William Henry Harrison, the first great whig president of the United States. So history follows down step by step; and it any man will take that history to his fireside he will ascertain that for every year of Amer- fcan protection there was a year of employ- ment for American labor; that for every year of American protection there were decent American wages; that for every year of American protection there were comfortable, happy and enlightened American homes. He will ascertain that every great period of free trade, from first to last, brought years of American distress, of scarcity of American employment, of darkness and suffering in the homes of the American people. FREE TRADE MAKES FREE SOUP. “It has been discovered, however, that only one industry ever flourished In any year of a revenue tariff, and that flourishes now, and that is the Industry of free soup houses in this country. “The year 1302 was the culmination of Ancerican prosperity, In the year 1892 more new factories were built, mora new places were opened to Amerjcan labor than ever be- fore in any year in the history of the world. In 1892 every factory and workshop was run- ning in full blast. Every man in the United States who wished could find employment at decent wages. In 1392 1,000,000 more tons of pig fron were manufactured than in any other year in the history of the country. Tn 1892 the country produced 200,000 more tons of steel bars than in any other year. In 1592 the business of the United States in the grand aggregate amounted to more than $50,000,000,000. Our forefgn commerce had reached the unparalleled sum of $2,000,000,000. In 1892 this country, for the first time in its history, surpassed the industry of Great Brit- aln herself in ali manufacturing enterprises. In the year 1892 we sent abroad more Amer- ican products in comparison with the pro- dvets imported than we had ever dono be- fcre, and in that year the startling fact is recorded that the trade balance had reached the marvelous sum of over $202,000,000. In other words, in the year 1892 foreign na- tlons had contributed to this country a trade balanice measured by big, round, hard dol- lars. In that year the price of labor in the United States had reached the highest point that had ever been reached by toil since the world began. In that year there had been built more American cottages than ever b fore in any one year in the history of the century. In that year more money was de- posited In the savings banks of the United States by poor people of this land than in any other year_in the nation's progress. BUSINESS PARALYSIS BEGAN. “But in November, 1892, the people were prosperous, employed, busy and consequently unthinking. Then the people of this country turned from the policy of protection to the policy of free trade. No sooner was it as tained that the new cra of free trade fore- told by the greatest statesman of the re- public was ushered in than the era of busi- ness paralysis commenced, “My friend who is to follow me will con- tend that this great paralysis exists because the people of this couatry have refused to open the United States mints to the silver of the world. This theory may be plausible, but it is not troe. “Three weeks ago Mr. Wilson, the author of the late tariff act, was banqueted in the y of London and on thé' same day William McKinley (cheers) was receiving the ovations of the people of the United States. (Renewed cheering.) I have only one possible wish, and that is 1f it shall ever be my lot to stand as a maker of the legislation for my countrymen, if I am ever banquated or lauded for what T do, let it be by the people of the United States of America. (Tremen: ous cheering) The honoruble son of a lord who rose to toast Mr. Wilson in London declared that the people of Great Britain had grown to know him and to honor and ad- mire him for, because of his battle for tariff reform, the fires had been lighted in the forges of York and Wales and the textilo in- dustry of Great Britain had received a de- cided” lmpotus; and Mr. Wilson, rising to respond—he evidently imagined that he was a candidate for Parliament instead of & can- lidate for congress—(laughter)—no, my friends, he could be of no use to the people ‘of Great Britain in Parllament—the only place he can serve the people of that country s in the American congress—in arising to respond Mr, Wilson declared that the protectionists had raised a barrier to keep out of the American markets the pro- ducts of the world, and he said ‘We are en- gaged: In tearing these barriers down.' Tearing them down for what? FOR BRITISH COMFORT. “Why, in order that the fires might burn in the forges of York and Wales while the American chimneys were smokeless; in order that the factories of Great Britain might open to labor whils the factories of America were closed; in order that the wages on Saturday nights might be poured into the laps of British women while the women of our own land were sitting desolate beside their cheerless firesides, Please God, let us plead for such legislation as will open the door of American workshops, light the fires in American forges and bring cheerfulness to the American firesides. There s no music so0 sweet as the humming of the spindle, but that music sounds as sweet to the ears of an American workingman as to the ears of a British laborer, “Samuel Gompers, the great labor leader, declares that today there are more than 3,000,000 men unemployed in the United States. Bradstreet's reports that a reliable investigation discovered in 119 cities of this country $31,000 men out of employment These men have families dependent upon their support. From 8,000,000 to 10,600,000 people of the United States depend upon the daily wages of these men for the neces- sities of fife. Thirty per cent of the busi- ness of the- country has gone to the bad, and the wages paid in the United States lave already fallen 20 per cent. These 3,000,000 unemployed and those de- pendent upon’ them are rapidly becoming the objects of American charity. We can- not let them starve. They can be taken caro of In one of two ways. We can open to them the doors of our poor houses and care for them at public expense, or we can care for them by once more opening the | doors of American factories, by lighting the | fires under American forges, by harnessing | the mountain torrents of American streams. We can do this 9n¢ way or the other, and Dy your votes you must settle the question. Free trade wil open the doors of the Ameri- can poor nouses—protection Wil open the doors of American factories.” (Great cheer- ing and applause). FORCE BILL REPEAL. Mr. Thurston bricfly but eloquently ar- ralgned the democratic party for repealing the federal clcctions law and striking down protection of the ballot in the south, and closed his argument by saying: “It I no longer a question of color, my countrymen. Every man who took part In the repeal of protection was from that se tion whera tua American sehool house and the Amerlcan factory are objects of curlosity, The flag of the stars and bars represcnted slavery and free trade. The flag of the stars and stripes stands for )iberty and protection. The stars and bars went down before the stars and stripes, and God's eternal justice smote the men that dared to live upon the labor of slavery. God speed the day of the rourn 6 power of the repuhlican party. (Cheers.) Yesterday afterncon my eloquent friend sald, ‘God bless Abraham Lincoln and his generation,’ but he cdded, ‘God pity the sons.’ 1 stand here tp mccept that chalienge My father was ono of Abraham Lincoln's boys in blue wiio dled on the battiefield to save the life of the nation, and I stand here as one of Abraham Lincoln's sons to say that 1 stand upon the platform of the repub- lican party that puts the fiag of our country upon every school house of the United S\ates: the party that will put the fourteenth and Afteenth amendments into the heart of every American child; the party that will set the ars of American glory in the hearts of Amerfean childron and thereby perpetuate our frea institutions to the end of time."” The close of Mr. Thurston's argument was the signal for one of the most nspiring dem- onstrations from his friends in the vast audi- ence that has ever been witnessed In Omaha. It was an cvation that has seldom been accorded to a man in this city. MR. BRYAN'S REPLY, After the applause had subsided Mr. C. J. Smyth, chalrman of the democratic state con- tral committee, stepped to the front of the platform and sald: *'I now have the pleasure of presenting to you the fearless and uncon- quered William J. Bryan of Nebraska.” Bow- ing to the vast audiencs, Mr. Bryan arose to be greeted by a round of applause that caused the gas jets to flutter. The cheering con- tinued for some minutes, after which the pride of the democrats addressed the gather- ing substantially as follows I cannot express In words my apprecia- tlon of appearing before this vast assemblage tonight. These people are certainly not brought here on account of their appreciation of the sp:akers, but, instead, they come on account of the great Interest which they feel the political campaign. In his address my friend saw fit to speak of the federal elec- tions law and the part which I took in its repeal. T voted as did other democrats and 1 voted s did many of the populists, not be cause I considered that the ballot box should be less sacred, not that I cared to take away a single safeguard, as the question was whether the strong arm of the law should reach in and destroy the rights of the citizens. (Applause.) We felt that we would rather trust the liberties of the people to the people than to hired emissaries who were 2,000 miles away. “Go to New York and read the record of John Davenport, who caused the arrest of cltizens who desired to cast a free and un. trammeled ballot, who would arrest voters on the day of election and release them after the polls had closid; yet this was done in the interest of party politics. I helped to re- peal this law; I am glad that I did ana I have no apologies to offer. Hero in this state my friend boasts that the republicans gave to the people the protection of the bal- lot, but I think that it was a populist law, approved by a democratic governor, (Pro- longed applause.) ‘My friend would have you believe that his party is for the purity of the ballot and fs the father of all laws looking to this end. Upon the question of arbitration, I believe in 1t, and I want to say that in this respect every generation s becoming greatly changed. Seventy years ago when a con- cern employed half a dozen men the man- ager could watch over them; he knew them by names; his daughter could catry flowers to the bedside of the laborer's sick child, but with the great aggregation of wealth and the introduction. of improved machinery a single man may hold in his hand the ex- istence of 10,000 employes. It is impossible to know them all and feel for them as did the employers of a century ago, consequently new laws must be made to fit the new condi- tion of affairs. The laboring men are de- manding and are receiving the benefits of arbitration. In the democratic platform I find things looking to this end, but in the platform of my friend I look in vain. Now I want to ask him if he stands upon the re- publican or upon his own platform? REED AGAINST M'KINLEY. “Let me ask your attention upon the sub- Ject of tariff legislation, and I will bring Droofs to show that the country would not be advanced by returning to the McKinley tariff. Let me read you what Tom Reed sald yester- day." Here Mr. Bryan® read extracts from a newspaper, which he said showed that Mr. Reed was not in favor of a high protective tarift. ‘‘How lonely my friend will feel when he gets down to Washington and finds that the republicans have returned-to power without re-enacting the McKinley bill. Does my friend remember that in 1873 he saw the tramp at every door? Yet he would tell you that to have prosperous times we must have a high protective tariff. He tells you what Mr. Blaine saw in prophesy, but I want to tell yqu that it is not safe to make prophe- sles unless the prophet is annointed. “Let me read what another great prophet #ald,” and here Mr. Bryan read some of the writings of Daniel Webster, in which a low tariff was advocated. TARIFF LOWERS WAGES. “From 1846 to 1860, with a low tariff, farm wages iucreased, but from 1880 to 1890, with a®high protective tariff, farm wages went down; from 1850 to 1860, with a low tariff, the value of agricultural lands in- creased, but from 1880 to 1890, right under the shadow of the smokestacks of the fac- tories of New England, values dropped.’” After this Mr. Bryan read at some length from Blaine's Twenty Years of Congress, urging that when that gentleman was out of politics he advocated a low tariff, “So, gentlemen,” continued Mr. Bryan, “you see that In 1856 a protective tariff was not even suggested or hinted at by any of the three presidential candidates. Mr. Blaine looks back and tells you that for ten years thereafter the question of a protective tariff was not in any of the party platforms. Let me give you some reasons for passing judg- ment. We find that while the McKinley law was In force there were 1,200 strikes and cases of a general reduction of wages, but not till the.Carnegie strike was there any great public utterances, and then the most pathetic words fell from the lips of Mr. Har- rison, the most pathetic outside of holy writ, only exceeded by those of ‘Oh Abso- lom, my son Absolom.’ It is true that some- times capital has taken too large a share of the profits, but here under the high tariff we have a law that makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. When Lazarus was at the poor man's table he was allowed to pick up the crumbs, but where would Lazarus have been if it had not been for the poor man? (Laughter.) Again Mr. Bryan read from newspaper ex- tracts, giving the number of strikes and re- ductions in wages during the years of the protective tariff, showlng that during all that time they had been on the increase. Continuing, Mr. Bryan sald: ‘“Re- member that we put binding twise upon the free list and the cordage plant at Cham- paign closed recently—(laughter)—but it has openied again, and has increased Its ca- pacity, or will soon. Let the republicans express joy and laugh when an American industry closes down thfs year, but I am afraid that the republican industry will close after the November election. (Cheers from the democrafic side of the house). TIN INDUSTRY BENEFITED. “Just a word about the tin industry. tarift has been reduced, but that has en- ebled an industry to grow up right here in South Omaha, and 1 ask, would you have this high tariff back and close up this fac- tory that is just outside of your city? 1 deny the right to tax one man to protect another; it is upon the principle of a bounty. The republicans said that it sounded all right, and Sepator Manderson said that it was all right, so it must be accepted by ublicans as belng true. fere I have a piece of goods (holding np small cutting of woolen fabric). This costs cents, and under the McKinley tariff bill was taxed 98 cents. What does this tariff mean? It means that the man who may make these goods in this country gets 66 cents, while the wearer pays that plus 98 cents, Under the Wilson bill the tariff on the same goods Is 20 cents, showing that you ean buy more for the dollar. “I join with my friend in denouncing trusts and [ want him to join with me in denounc- Ing the corporatious which have been buying the protective party during the past thirty years. If he wants real reform he will join with me and denounce all class legislation and not have the government burden the backs of many for the benefit of the few. At this time the wealth of the country fs in the hands of a few men and is rapldly being concentrated. It is stated that 25,000 men wn one-halt of the wealth of the United States, avd that § per cont of the people own 71 per cent-of this property. In the city of Boston 81 per cent of the Inhabitants live in rented houses, with 20 per cent owning their homes, yet there s no state more deeply interested in reform. FOR EAST OR WEST? “I will ask my friend it he endorses thé state of Tom Reed, or doos he say that Ne- braska is just as much interested? I ask my friend it he wil go down to the United States senate and stand with Reed, or will he do something for the west? Down at Lincoln he insulted the state of Texas by saying that there in the land of the cact! and the centipede they nursed the child at the mouth of a gun. Now I tell him that that state produced more wool than any othew state in the union. “More than one-half of the people of this country live in small towns, and I ask, w It The | this not right that they should be Neard in the making of the daws? I ask my friend if he will join Senator Hoar in making a schedule for the manuf@ctusers, or will he give some consideration to the west? Why does he want tarift reformito take away the privi- leges of the many dnd give them to the fow? We want the unshackled limbs of the Ameri- can workingmen and the man not a beggar We ask for a lw that will begin at the bot- tom, for the masses, making this country prosperous indeed.” As Mr. Bryan! closed thero were cheers and applause that ‘waw' deafening, hundrods of people gotting wpoh the chairs and giving vent to the demoeratic club yell. As the con- fusion subsided” and® Chairman Wharton, the manager of the republican end of the dis- cussion, arose to {utfoduce Mr. Thurston for the twenty minutes closing speech, many of the democrats started to leave the room Mr. Smyth asked them to be fair and stay and listen to the closing remarks of Mr. Thurston, but the stanipede was catching and a couple of thousand persons left In presenting Mr. Thurston, Chalrman Wharton said, “My fellow citizens, allow me to introduce to you the next senator from Nebraska, a leader of leaders, the matchless and unconquered John M. Thurston of Omaha.” Mr. Wharton sald more, but his words were lost, for just at that time Mr. Thurston arose from the chair where he was sitting beside his wife and son and such cheering was never heard in the Coliseum. WILL NOT FEEL LONESOME. The cheering continued for a time, after which Mr. Thurston addressed the mighty audience. Sald he: ‘“The workingmen of city are not beggars, and the repub- licans of this country say that no free trade legislation shall make beggars in the United States.. My friend who has just closed has asked more questions than could bo answered in an hour. He says: ‘Will you not fe lonesome when you go down to the senate and seo only Tom Reed advocating a protective tariff? 1 say that it I happen to go to Washington, as every republican will in two years, with William McKinley in the white house (long and continued cheering), 1 will | not feel very lonesome. In 1891 our city of | Omaha made 90,000,000 of brick; In 1892, 72,000,000; in 1893, 22,000,000, and in 1894, 5.000,000. Omaha was a place where the em- ploye recelved good wages and all of the men were employed, but since the democrats came into power thé laborers have mot seen the doors of the ‘manufacturing Industries open.” Right at this point there was another democratic stampede, but it was stopped when Mr. Thurston said: “I had supposed that the democrats of Omaha were willing to listen to republican gospel, but they re- treaty and the retreat from this hall is only a part of the general retreat that is taking place all along the American line. (Loud cheering), “‘My {riend Bryan says that the working- men have rebuked the protection of 1893 But let. us see how it has been rebuked. It hus been rebuked in 1894 by Oregon giving a republican majority of 15,000; Vermont, 29,- 000; Pennsylvania, 184,000, and Malne, 30,546 (Applause, and cries of “give it to them.”) “Mr. Bryan asks if I go to the senate, will 1 stand with Tom Reed for the east, or for the omnivorous wost? [ answer that Ne- braska is but one star in the azure blue of the flag, Massachusctts another, with both but states of the American union. Mr. Bryan talks about his platform, and 1 talk about the platformi of the American people, tha only platformupon which 1 care to stand, Is my friend forpthe free and unlimited coin- age of silver? With him is it a principle, or Is it a-vote getter? If it is & principle, Wwhy does he not Sipport D. Clem Deaver, who stands upon that platform? If it is a vote getter, you cah explain why he turns Deaver down aud supports James E. Boyd, that sound money fAemocrat of Nebraska. Is it becaus¢ he,was a party to a conven- tion in which the democrats tied the party in_a brown paper package with a fusion string and tossed ‘the parcel over to the enemy, without «even taking a recefpt for the same? (Cries of “Hit 'em again below the belt.”) v “If this Is for principle, why did he offer the right hand to the populists, to a man who never smelled powder. and never fought for his country? If, thip . was for principle, why did Mr. Bryan and _his convention endorse Silas A. Holcomb, a-reformed democrat, and turn dowa, o, ald-republican, the par excel- lence of Populist leaders in Nebraska, Hon. John H. Powers? 1T TALKS FOR ITSELF. “My friend asks me why I do not talk on the tariff on sugar? My God,-that talks for itself. 1f I ever go to the senate [ will stand for legislation that will protect the sugar industries of this state. (Cheers) If I go to the senate I will stand for legislation that will enable the American sheep to have the courage to look a man in the face; if I go to the senate I will stand for legislation that will put up the bars along the Texas border and keep the Mexican greaser out in order to protect our American beef, (Cries of “You will go.”) “Talk about good times under the Wilson bill! Wilson told the English lords that the law was for their benefit, but they repliad that he was talking through his hat. (Laugh- ter.) “My friend tells you about the tin that is made at South Omaha, It was made into cheap dinner pails, but now under his Wilson bill that dinner pail is empty on the shelf; the wife and the bables are asking for food. You may have your cheap pails and your soup, but we will have our well filied pails and good wages. ““May it please God. the people are fooled only once in a generation, and, as old Abe Lincoln said, ‘You may fool Some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the peopls all of the timé,” and this is not a fool year In Nebraska.” Loaded the Street Cars. If the stockholders: of the Omaha Street Railway company could have stood in a body at Twentieth and Dodge streets between 6 and 8 o'clock last night and watched the cable trains as they swung around the curve their hearts would have been gladdened and their imaginations tiekled with the prospects of Thanksglving turkeys purchasable with the innumerable nickles which were flowing into their coffers. While the Sherman ave- nue and the Twenty-fourth ‘street lines were t busy earrying people to swell the audi- ence at the Coliseum it was the cable line that bore the brunt of the trafic.

Ons of Them Fatally and Several Othe Seriously: Wounded. ASHLAND, Ky. Oct. 18.—Reports come in tonightgglowly of the bloody attack upon defenseles® miners at the mines of the Straight Creek Coal company, in Carbon county, by strikers this morning. The men were ambushed while enroute to their work, and seven are reported to have been hit by bullets from Winchesters. Jack Marcum is fatally injured and John Morris danger- ously wounded. The others are not seri- ously injured. An attempt by the company to work nonunion labor in opposition (o the demands of the United Mine workers is the cause of the trouble. Additional trouble is feared. ———— wm Morris Barker Eleoted Bishop, NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—Willlam Morris Barker, bishop of western Colorado, was elected this afternoon as bishop of the mis- slonary jurisdiction of Olympla, state of | w | tra Washington, at a secret session of the bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church of Ameriea, held in the church mission house, — SATOLLI'S ELEVATION CONFIRMED, Will Not Change M Chareh in Amerioa. ROME, Oct. 18.—Information from the vat- fean makes it possible to give details about the cardinalate to be given Mgr. Satolll and the retirement of Mgr. Satolli's secretary, Fathier Papl, from the vatican staff in order to Join the Jesuit order. There have been denlals of the report of Father Papi's move, but the facts are now learned beyond any question, About four monthe ago Father Papl ap- plied here for his exeat. The request was very broad and contemplated a retirement from those official connections with the vati- can's fortign service and the prospective honors it had in store for him. It was made known he desired to retire from the world and -devoto his life in the Jesuit order to study and teaching. To this end, he applied to the provincial of tho Jesult order at New York for admission, and on the granting of the exeat here he would have been trans- ferred. The plans were modified, however, by the premature reports of Father Papi's intention. It was felt, also, by those having Jesuit interests at heart that the accession of Mgr. Satoll's secretary to the Jesuits might arouse criticism on the ground that the one best informed of the confidentlal transactions of the ablegate had joined the order popularly supposed to be opposed to Mgr. Satolll. While this_eriticism would be groundless, it was deemed advisable to avold the possible cause of a “Jesult trick.” For this reason {t is believed the New York provincial will advise Father Papl to wait a year or two before taking his exeat and joining the order, by which time Father Papi’s confidential relations with Mgr. Sa- tolli will have terminated. Concerning the cardinalate to be conferred on Archbishop Satolll, there appears to be no ground for the reports that notice of the appointment has been forwarded to the able- gate. The consistory of cardinals which ad- vises with the pope on the creation of car- dinals does not meet until next month, so the actual determination on his appointment will not be made until then. In the meantime, there are seven names under consideration, from which number it Is considered five car- ninals will be named, Mgr. Satolli among the five. There are no further American names among those under consideration. It is ex- pected the conferring of the red hat on Mgr. Satolli will be celebrated at Cardinal Gib- bons' church in Baltimore, and that several noblemen of high rank and distinguished prelates will g0 from here as the personal representatives of the pope. There Is a doubt as yet as to whether Mgr. Satolli's cardinalate will carry jurisdiction over a dfo- cese of will be purely honorary. Cardinal Gibbons is also an archbishop of the Balti- more dfocese, including Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, which makes him a powerful as well as an honorary prel- ate. Whether a diocese will be created for the new cardinal is still undetermined. It is probable, however, that his jurisdiction over questions between bishops and priests and other church officials will be regarded as equivalent to a diocese. All of the papers in these trials are in Latin, and, as Mgr. Satolli Is a perfect Latin scholar, as well as a mas- ter of canon law, he is considered better qualified for the work than for supervision over the active labors of a diocese. The title is lkely, therefore, to be honorary, without the supplementary power of an archbishop. Yet, as the personal representative of the pope in America, the new cardinal will oc- cupy a station higher than that which the powers of archbishop could bring to him. RSO e AMUSEMENTS, Rl The Creche Benefit. Behind a coating of burnt cork and theat- rical names, three score young women amused a tremendous audlence at Boyd's ast night for the benefit of the Creche. In point of fact, it was a night of audiences all over the city, the Coliseum crowded to the doors, Boyd's filled to the uppermost gallery, and the Fifteenth Street theater holding one of the largest Thursday night houses of the feason against these strong at- tractions. But of the minstrel show for sweet cl ity’s sake! The first part was thoroughly unique, for behind the cork were women known' in religious and social cir lead- ing soprano in church choirs, enthusiasts in the Woman's club; in a word, gentle women who had buried their identity for the time being that the little ones of the Crech might be clothed and warmed during the rigors of the winter, With true minstrel spirit the first part went with snap and en thusiasm, the soloists acquitted themselves with entire credit, several of the members particularly — winhing repeated encores.

TILLMAN LAW INJURES THE UNITED STATES Question Ralsed by Internal Rovenue Com- missloner Miller Whether the State of Carolina Can Rob Uncle Sam of Fart of Mis Income. WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—The secretary of the treasury has referred to the attorney general for his opinion a question ralsed by the enactment of the Tillman dispensary law in the state of South Carolina, viz: Can the stato officers enter bonded warehouses and confiscato spirits on the payment of the in- ternal revenue tax to the general govern- ment? In a letter to Secretary Carlisle ask- ing that the opinfon of the attorney general bo asked Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller says: “The natural effect of acquies- cense in the course proposed by Governor Tillman would be the probable cogiplete de- struction of the bonded warehouse system within the state; the consequent cessation of the business of manufacturing distilled spir- its under the internal revenue laws, and the loss to the United States of further Income from that source. The dispensary law has been construed by the same supreme court as now absolutely prohibiting the manufacture and sale of distilled spirits within the state, but it appears also that under the law the distiller in this state cannot sell his product to private persons within the state, nor, If 1 rightly apprehend the provisions of the third section, to private persons to be shipped out of the state, but only to the state commis- sloner, or to persons outside of the state and under the regulations which would seriously inconvenience the shippers. Under such re- strictions there would hardly be any further lawful production of distilled spirits within this state. The question {s broadly presented whether a state can so legislate as incident- ally to deprive the United States of one of its declared sources of revenue.” COMPTROLLER GETTING ANXIOUS, Has Had No Report Concernlug the Koar- ney Banks that Suspended.

IRON TRADE REVIEW. Mesbeck, vice E. Fos- Heavy Production Causes Great Disparity Between Froduction and Huying. CLEVELAND, O, Oct. 18.~The Tron Trade Review says: The general tenor of dvices from iron and steel centers Is that business is not up to the pace set by August and September. Active furnace capacity has increased at a much less rapid rate the past month than In the preceding month, today plg iron production is at the rate of about 8,200,000 tons per annum, or only 1,000,000 tons below the record of the banner year. Another score of furnaces In_blast would mean an output at the rate of 1842 It is plain the present pace will not be pre served long without an increase of stocks, 1l the weakness in pig fron prices that has been in evidence the past fortnight is proof of the disparity between production and current buying. The situation as to Bessemer iron and soft stecl has changed but little. Billets are affccted unfavorably | by the shut down of tin plate mills, and de. liveries extending through the year have been contracted for at $16.20 at Pittsburg while an important western Pennsylvani buyer is said to have shaded that figure, Bridge orders have the most encouraging look from the standpoint of western mills. mbers of the company. - NYOMING IVITY IN MINES, Muech Ore Being Taken Out In Different Parts of the State.

A Toachanons oo Larking i o a ol HOW TO CONQUER IT. Good News Wo and " Soelal Counsel For Every Ag Condity Men and nnd From the age of forty to that of sixty a man who properly regulates himself may be considered in the prime of life. From | thirty to fifty the same can be said of women. But there are critical periods be- fore that time and far moro eritical ones thereafter. There are so many things at- tacking us all through life that life itselt may be sald to be filled with critical peri- ods; but throughout it all there is one great one paramount danger. It is a danger that has been brought about by modern civilizas tion. It is a danger that menaces both men and women. it 1s a danger that Is most cause it is so little understood It is a danger that is most and deceitful That danger kldneys It attacks both men and women, and it attacks them in different manners and at various periods of thelr lives. It steals like a thief into the system and robs it of the health, the vitaity, the life, before the viee tim fs aware. It is the worst, the most widespread, the most to-be-dreaded disease of modern times. There has fortunately been an absolute cure for this great modern malady discove ered, but unfortunately there are a great many people that do not realize thelr dans ger and who do not take it in time. If any man feels a loss ot strength, of vitality and ambition; If he realizes he is not in the condition he formerly was; It he has occasional headaches, loss of appetite and peculiar pains, it he notices a pecull color, odor, frequency or Infrequency of the fluids of the body, he certainly has the marked symptoms of Bright's disease of the kidneys and he needs to take the only known remedy for this trouble, which is Warner's Safe Cure. If any woman feels despondent, weak, de- pressed, bearing-down sensations; if she 1g uncertain, irregular and at a loss to unde stand her condition; if, in short, she becomes sallow, emaciated and without appetite; or If she becomgs full habited or bloated, she may be sure she las (he symptoms of Bright's disease, and that she needs the truest friend which any woman ever had— which is Warner's Safe Cure, What = prominent wdy did under these same circumstances is given below: BROCTON, Mass, March 14, 1894, Some five years since I suffered much from pain in the back; had strange mental hallu- cinations, loss of appetite, scanty and dark colored fluid which scalded in passing, bad taste in the mouth in the morning, loss of nerve tone, resless nights, gradual loss of weight and energy and dark and sallow skin. 1 had no ambition to go about my daily duties. Bven the weight of my clothies was oppressive. My sister had taken Warner's Safe Cure for female weakness, and had been helped much by it. 1 gave p my phyiician and purchased one bottle, and after taking it felt like another person, My appetite returned and my whole system was invigorated. I slept better nights; In fact, my health returned and I felt like a new woman. Up to the present time I have taken twenty bottles, and have found it an+ invaluable remedy. It gives me great pleass ure to testify to its worth, hoping that some one who suffers as I did may be led to take it through reading this, and be helped thereby. MRS. J. H. PAGE.
