In her victories. She has twlco measured
tvrms with England and has won , Sbo has
not the spirit of rebellion within her own
borders nnd was victorious. She has met
the proud Spaniard and he lies prostrate at
her"'feet. All this IB well , It Is magnificent , j
aiut'tbero remains one other victory for
Americans to win a victory as far-reaching
and Important as any thnt has occupied our
army and navy. Wo have succeeded In
every conflict , except In the effort to con
quer ourselves In the blotting out of racial
prejudices. Wo can celebrate the era of
peace In no moro effectual way than by a.
firm resolve on the part of northern men
and southern men , black men and white
men , that the trenches which/'we together
dug around Santiago shall bo the eternal
burial place of all that which separates us
in our business and civil relations. Let us
bo as generous In peace as we hnvo been
brave In battle. Until wo thus conquer our-
eelves , I make no empty statement when I
say that wo shall have , especially In the
nouthcrn part of our country , a cancer
gnawing at the heart of this republic that
ehall one day prove as dangerous as an
attack from an army from without or
within.
"In this pre < iiso and on ihls uuaplclous
occasion I want to prosftnt the deep grati
tude of nearly 10,000,000 of my people to our
wise , patient and htav-J chief executive for
the generous manner ! n wbi < : h my race hafl
been recognized during tills conlllct. A
recognition thnt has doao moro to blot out
Bectlonal and racial lines than any event
Blnco the dawn of oir : freedom.
"I know how vain and 'mpotent Is all mere
Abstract tnlk on this subj'Vt In your oflorln
to 'rise on stepping atones of yo'ar ' dead
Bclves * we of the black race shall not leave
you unaided. Wo shall make the task easier
for you by acquiring property , habits of
thrift , economy , Intelligence and character ,
bv each making himself of Individual worth
In his own community. Wo shall aid you
In this o wo did n few days ago at El Canoy
nnd Santiago. You know us , you are not
nfrald of us. When the crucial test comes
vou are not ashamed of us. Wo have sievcr
betrayed or deceived you. You know that
an It has been so It will be , whether In war
or In pence , whether In slavery or In free
dom , wo have always been loyal to the stars
and stripes. "
When Mr. Washington gave expression to
these words the moat Interesting ; feature of
the evening occurred. The audience rose and
chocrc < l to the echo , while President McKInley -
loy standing In his box acknowledged by re
peated bows the compliments of the colored
orator.
FEVER HOSPITAL FOR HAVANA
Ileport tn the Surgeon General Stnten
thnt it IMnee for Fever 1'ntlcittx
IN Iluclly Needed.
HAVANA , via Key West , Oct. 16. Drs.
Lane and O'Reilly have made a report to
tho' surgeon general. Insisting upon the im
mediate establishment of nn American fever
hospital here. The existing hospitals do
not Isolate yellow fever patients , nnd the
result Is that If a person Buffering from an
other complaint Is removed to the hospital
ho runs the risk of contracting the fever.
This was the case with Stenographer Delbrl
of the American evacuation commission , who
Is suffering from malarial fever. Hl3 next
door neighbor Is 111 with a fever of a differ
ent character.
Colonel Waring has found Havana dirtier
than he anticipated. He says It will be
necessary to tear open the streets and lay
drainage pipes and sewers. He sees no rea-
eon to fear an epidemic , ns there was mi
spread of disease when the streets wore
opened recently to lay water pipes. He Is
greatly satisfied vMth the excellence of
Havana's water supply.
Industry and commerce continue at n
BtandKtlll. Many planters and merchants
who recently returned hero , anticipating an
early resumption of business , are going
abroad again to wait until affairs are set
tled In Cuba , as they'do not dare emba
in business ventures or risk a cent In tha
present unsatisfactory and Indefinite condi
tion ot political affairs on the Island. Ii (
the meantime the country dally grows
poorer. The sugar and tobacco crops are
unsown.
That the condition ot the Cubans Is not
eo > desperate or black as Is painted , outa'cle '
the fact that they are short of rations ,
confirmed by Colonel Rowan and Lieutenant
Parker , who , after crossing the Island , cov
crlng 100 miles a day , and visiting every
Insurgent camp In the island , report that
the camps are efficient , well disciplined and
officered by men ot a high order of Intelli
gence and education. From these men , who
have struggled and suffered for three long
years for their ideal of freedom , resistance
Is to be feared to any solution ot the prob
lem not having for its basis Independence.

LINCOLN , Oct. 10. ( Special. ) Those
have been keeping a close watch of
political affairs In this state are now able
o see two things that prove conclusively
ho existence of the scheme to merge the
opocr.xtla parties all under the , name "dem-
cratlc" next year. The so-called "Reform
'ress" association , which is managed by n
Matte county man , who also draws a salary
rom the state , 1 found to have been sub-
Idlzed by the national democratic com
mittee , to bo used by it In the final tuck-
ng away of the populist party. Along with
his move may bo mentioned the clrcum-
tanco that several of those who have hero-
oforo pretended to be ardent populists , but
whoso antecedents have In every case been
lemocratlc , are now ongagca is circulating
the campaign book Issued by the national
ddraocratlc committee nnd which makes no
pretense of being a populist document. One
of State Auditor Cornell's deputies , who last
year was the populist commltteeman for the
Mrst congressional district , Is one of the
lead movers In the scheme to circulate this
democratic literature. They calculate that
with the dissemination of the proper kind
of reading matter for tha next six or eight
nonths the popocrats will all bo In the right
frame of mind to allow themselves to bo
jranded "democrats" nnd the date for the
final roundup Is set for next year. It Is ex
pected that the "silver republicans" will be
among the flrst to coino Into the fold and
; hat they will show a positive pleasure In
mvlns the branding iron pressed upon
.hem.
Nehrnnkn City IlrlilKC Ciixe
In Otoo county the most amusing feature
of the campaign la the popocratlc story of
"How Judge Hayward prevented the people
plo from having a free wagon bridge across
Iho river nt Nebraska City. " A man from
Nebraska City , In speaking of the bridge
case , said today that the part taken by Judge
flayward as attorney for the taxpayers had
resulted In lifting a heavy burden from the
shouldera of the people. The Otoo county
van said :
'Thoro never was a proposition to build
a free wagon bridge. On the contrary , a
scheme was slipped through , whereby the
taxpayers were saddled with the burden of
carrying and paying $100,000 of G per cent
twenty-year bonds , to aid In building a
bridge that was to charge the same rate
of toll as the ono already crossing the
river at that point. When the taxpayers
found out how they had been worked they
employed Judge Hayward to get out a per
manent Injunction and prevent the Issuance
of the bonds. He handled the case with
such complete success that the big steal
was defeated. Every detail In the case
Is to the credit of Judge Hayward and the
taxpayers of Nebraska City owe to him a
ilebt of gratitude which they will not al
low to bo paid off In campaign abuse. "
Another Iteforni Fnlliire.
The attempt of the state hauso "ro
formers" t turn the Beatrice Corn Car
nival Into a political rally was a ludicrous
failure and It is probable that they will
not again attempt to mix up their show
with n carnival parade. Last year Che Bea
trice people made such a success of the
carnival and drew such Immense crowds
that the popocratlc candidates figured out
It would bo a good place to go and exploit
themselves this year. They notified the
Beatrice committee that they would be
there to "review the parade , " aa if the
crowd in attendance would not be able Cede
do all the reviewing for Itself. The cora-
mlttco could do no less than to mention on
the programs thnt the "Honorables" from
the state house would be there and a "re
viewing" stand was erected. On the day of
the carnival , shortly after noon , Holcomb ,
Meserve , Wolfe and several of the deputies
arrived at the depot and wera escorted up
town by a brass band. There was no ap
plause , however , and the reception was nol
gratifying to the office-seekers. The people
wore too busy throwing corn at each other
and thoroughly enjoying themselves to care
a tinker who was there to "review the pa
rade. " When the notables took their places
In the stand nobody looked at them and
right after the parade Governor Holcomb
slipped away tx > hold a back room conference
ence- with some ot his political appointees
Meserve and Wolfe went over to the prin
cipal hotel in the hopes that they could do
some handshaking , and the passholdlng
deputies speedily lost themselves in the
carnival crowd.
Over at the hotel during the balance ol
the afternoon there was a scene that wouli ]
have brought sadness to the popocrats II
any had chanced to look In. Meserve am' '
Wolfe assumed a position In the center ol
the hotel office , where they were Inter Jolnct
by two local "reform" candidates. There
they stood by the hour with their whiskers
fairly bristling with expectancy , but nobody
came near 'them , and the expected levee
was frostbitten In its Infancy. The Bea
trice people are now enjoying a good laugl :
over the attempt to mix politics In a corn
carnival.
I'oiiouratlc IdillleH UNniiil
The popocrats of the First congresslona :
district are having a hard tlmo to get people
ple out to their meetings and several 01
their so-called "rallies" have been dlsma
failures. In sotne Instances less than hal
a dozen people have assembled to hear thi
"reform candidates" brag on themselves
and In such cases the speaking Is post
poned. This lack of attendance Is not be.
cause of bad weather or Insufficient ad'
vertlslng , but Is simply because the pop
ocratlc voters have lost all their enthusl
asm and refuse to attend the meetings
Many of .those who have heretofore been
radical populists have been heard to tall
with their neighbors this year on the folly
of clinging to any particular party and
have announced their Intention to "voto fo
the men this time. "
In the meantime the republicans are hold
Ing enthusiastic meetings all over the dls
trlct. At towns where the popocrats hate
to close up the halls for want of audiences
the republicans find the halls entirely to
small to accommodate the crowds. If thl
contrast In the two campaigns Is n true In
dex to the feelings of the people , the repub
IIcan ticket will come out of the First dla
trlct with several thousand majority.

Today the Norfolk Beet Sugar company had
Its first beet pay day during the present

paid to the farmers for beets delivered
during the pasu month and by them put
Into circulation. The farmers express them
selves as extremely well pleased with the
fair treatment accorded them by the factory
and aUo with this year's teat scale prices.
While the tonnage Is not very heavy , the al
most perfect fall-weather tended to make the
test highly satisfactory. While $1 per ton
was the usual prlco heretofore , this year
the majority are receiving more In many
cases $4.50 , $1.73 and even $5 per ton Is
realized and the farmers are correspond
ingly happy over their good fortune nnd
good returns for their labor. It ) Is reported
thnt the factory will have nearly a 100-day
run this campaign and the output both as
to quantity nnd qualify Is reported as very

NATIONAL DEMOCRATS MEET
Clenrly Set Forth Their I'rliielplen III
.Support of ( iolil Stnndnrd unit
mill HeiiHoitft Therefor.
INDIANAPOLIS , Oct. 10. The national
commlttieo of the national democratic party ,
which met here , has Issues the following
address :
To the National Democrats of the United
States : Your national committee , speaking
for the national democratic party , congrat
ulates the country on the emphatic nnd
merited condemnation nt the polls by the
people In 1890 of the dishonorable nnd
dangerous doctrines promulgated by the
Chicago platform. The moral Influence ex
erted by the Indianapolis convention has
amply compensated for the efforts made In
behalf of unalloyed democratic principles , as
held and taught by Jefferson , Jackson , Til-
don nnd Cleveland. And today this plat
form Is the rock and firm foundation on
which alone a democrat can rest his polit
ical faith. We , therefore , take this oppor
tunity to reaffirm with accumulated force
the principles of our party as enunciated
at Indianapolis in 1890.
Wo bellovo that the theory of so-called
protection , which , In Its last analysis , In
volves the spoliation of the many for the
benefit of the few , la dishonest and that
It directly nnd Inevitably breeds trusts , mo
nopolies nnd those special privileges by
which the cunning and unscrupulous prey
on their uimuKpectlng and credulous fellow-
citizens. The protective tax is not only dis
honest nnd oppressive , but It obstructs that
free and natural Interchange of commodi
ties which would Increasingly tend to les
sen Iho cost of the necessities nnd comforts
of llfo to our wage-earning classes. It has
destroyed our merchant navy. It has prac
tically driven our flog from the seas nnd
has forced us Into the humiliating necessity
of paying vast and constant tribute to other
nations for ocean carriage. Wo oppose the
extension of this Insular'system to nny colonies
nies that wo have acquired or hereafter may
acquire nnd favor , as wo always nave fa
vored , the widest freedom of trade. It Is
folly to think of securing foreign markets
unless wo are willing to trade with foreign
countries. Especially do wo denounce the
Chicago platform for Its virtual abandon
ment of this great and time-honored prin
ciple.
The doctrliio of free silver Is nn exten
sion of the protective principle. Free coin
age Is the protection of a few silver mlno
owners at the expense of our laboring
classes. This policy , were It adopted , would
rob the workers of half their earnings and ,
by unsettling'values ' , would bring about n
paralysis of trade and commerce and reduce
us financially tothe level of barbarous and
uncivilized nations. Wo are unreservedly
for the singlegold'standard nnd oppose In
ternational bimetallism , so-called , ns both
Impracticable nnd undesirable. Wo believe
that the theory of , one standard and the se
lection of gold as' that standard has been
struck off In the mint of human experience
ns the result' of , , a slowly developed and
beneficent evolution In civilization.
Moro than ovorrdo we believe that the
continued cxldcnrt ) of our national organ
ization Is desirable for the well-being of our
country. There Istno other party thnt rep
resents the principles for which we are
proud to stapd. j.Our work Is not com
pleted. We are , not o'nly against free sllvpr ,
but we are for" sound money.
We protest against the pollution of the
democratic party by alliances with ihoso
whoso financial declarations are at war with
Its old nnd true < creed.
With the situation as it exists In some
ot the various states wo have no province
to Interfere. The national democrats of each
state must solve their local problems In such
a way as may seem to them most likely
to Insure the triumphs of the principles for
