FREE SILVER TI1E SLOGAN Jao1r.soni n Olnb Picnic a Boom for Bryan and the Chicago Platform , NEW ISSUES MUST TAKE SECOND PLACE Urj-nn nnd Clinmp Clnrk Drclnrr thnt the rinCform Munt lie Mnln- tnlnnl Inlnct If ho I'nrtjr I * to Succeed. The second Annual picnic of the Jacksonlan club of Omaha that was held at Syndicate park yesterday afternoon and evening was distinctively o boost for Bryan and the Chicago cage platform. The old issue of 1C to 1 was nearly the exclusive theme of Bryan and Congressman Champ Clark of Missouri , who were the orators of the occasion , Antitrust ti-trust , nntl'cxpnnslon , anti-Injunction nnd nil the other opposltlve principles that have been proclaimed by the fusion parties were Alluded to only Incidentally nnd silver wns the dominating subject of attention. Both I speakers declared emphatically that the fret It and unlimited cotnngo of the white metal J Is the main Issue In the pending campaign and that to abandon ono single tenet of the Chicago platform would bo to abandon It all. all.In In point of attcndanco nnd enthusiasm the picnic was a success that went far to com pensate ! for the disappointment of a year ago , when the Initial out-of-door celebration of the organization was discouraged by pour ing rain. The Jefferson club of Lancaster counW , fully 300 strong , came up to swell the crowd and fully 0,000 people visited the park during the day and evening. Both the oratore of the day were heard by tre mendous audiences nnd each received a greeting that was enthusiastic and compli mentary. A short program of races and ath- lotlc events filled the Interval between tbo speeches and all the accompaniments of circus day , oven to a "Paris by Gaslight" fakir , were present to contribute to the en tertainment of the picnickers , t I'lirnilc of the Stalwart * . 1 The program of the day began shortly i before noon with the arrival of the Lan- j canter county democrats , who filled a special I ' train of six coaches on the Klkhorn road. j The special pulled Into the Webster street depot at 11:30 : , nnd its arrival was cnthu- i ' slastlcally cheered by a crowd of several ! hundred people who had congregated on the ! , platform. W. J. Bryan was ono of the first | visitors to step from the train , nnd ho was received by a committee of the local organl- ' zatlon. IIo stopped to exchange greetings i > with a number of his Douglas county friends who crowded around him , nnd then j . the entire party formed Into line for the I ' march down town. I The women of the Lincoln party were con- 1 i ducted to motor trains that were waiting at ' the depot to take thorn directly to the j grounds. Then the procession moved up I ' Webster street to Sixteenth , on Sixteenth ' to Douglas , thence to Farnam and Thlr- toonth streets , where a long string of spe cial trains were ready to carry them the ! remainder of the trip. The parade was i headed by 'Hagcnow's band of Lincoln , the Jefferson club followed , and the Jacksonlans brought up the rear. Mr. Bryan marched In the front rank of the Jacksonlans. He was apparently In exceptionally good spirits and smilingly acknowledged such expres sions of good will as wore extended to him i along the line of marcn. He did not accom pany the remainder of the party to the park , but remained at a hotel for lunch. By the time the party arrived at the park it wa after noon , and the hundreds of lunch baskets that accompanied it monopo lized the exclusive attention of the crowd. During the lunch hour the pretty slopes under the trees were a lively scene. The i crowd separated into family groups and the hastily Improvised spreads occupied' the entire - tire central portion of the resort. An hour or two of rest and general recreation re mained before it was tlmo for the speak ing to begin , and during the afternoon now arrivals constantly swelled the crowd. Soon attor 3 o'clock Ed P. Smith called the crowd to order and after a selection by the Musical Union band Congressman Clark wo * introduced to inako the principal speech of the afternoon. Ho was clven a cordial greeting and after the applause had subsided - , sided ho spoke In. substance ns follows : Conurrc iiuiaii Clnrk'M Sp'cecli. Beyond all cavil wo were right In 1896. Tb Chicago platform was a second Declar- I at lee of Independence. On that great day wo fold aside forever the weight that had I so easily and so persistently besot us the good Lord , good dovll policy of eastern , democrats and taking control of tbo party , gave to the work n declaration of our poI - I tttlcal faith , upon which wo made the most . astounding campaign witnessed among men ; eiaca the world began. I bellovo now nnd have nrways believed that Bryan wns elected on n fair count o ] the ballots , but If ho wns defeated it was try methods fro-bidden In morals most corrupt in politics and ut terly subversive of good government br unprecedented coercion of voters by wholesale uco of boodle and by such de bauchery of the suffrage as made honest teen everywhere stand aghast. But nevertheless and notwithstanding nl the odds wa fought , thank God thcro were 6,600,000 American freeman who ' .ould not bs bribed or bullied Into voting for the re publican candidates and our peerless young leader received more votes than were ever before cast for a candidate for the presi dency and stands forth the foremost states man of the ago. If we stand courageously and unfaltering ! ; by the great principles enunciated in 1896 wo wlir win a decisive victory for truth and right and representative government and will earn not only the approval of our own consciences , but the plaudits of the lovers of liberty to the remotest generations but If wo abandon these principles , if w < permit time-servers , double-dealers am practlcers of expediency to obscure thesi IcAUes or shunt them to the rear we wll not only lose , but will be "Damned to everlasting lasting fame. " Witnt tli CIiloiiKo I'Intforin. The people understand precisely what the. want. They want the Chicago platform and they intend to have It , unchanged , un diluted , unimpaired. They will break off i short , an you can break a pieceof glass , tha necks of those who try to play then false. They are not In a frame of mln to be fooled with. Those supple , self-seeking demagogues 1 the party who are stealing tbo livery o heaven to servo the devil and who , yelling free sliver at the tope of their voices , are maneuvering and plotting secretly and in cessantly to sidetrack true silver and to supplant it with expansion and the anti trust issue , the massea of the democrats the plain people , as Lincoln denominated ] thorn the common pcopfe , as Bryan affec- Rheumatic KANOB M.

The orerihadowlng Ifwue of 1896 w s the free nnd unlimited coinage of gold nnd silver nt the ratio of 16 to 1 , without waitIng - Ing for the consent or permission of any other nation under the sun. That wlir ba the paramount Issue In 1900 In nplto of all tricks , of all tricksters , In spite of all the nglle democratic ncrobalg In the land , in spite of the cheap John montebanks , who consider tha getting of office rather than the carrying out of grent principles to their legitimate and logical results th chlof end of political parties nnd organized endeavor. The tlmo-servers would have us nbaTmon our position nnd stultify ourselves In the eyes of mankind In order to carry the elec tion on a platform that means nil things to nil men nnd nothing In particular ; but wo would not have oven thnt poor consola tion , for the minute the democratic leaders dcBcrt silver the people will destroy them and Refect new leaders , faithful to their trust , but In the confusion of killing off recreant leaders and creating new ones the republicans will carry the country. Even as a matter of polllcy , to say noth ing of principle , wo must stand by our guns. Thnt In our only snlvndon. Our duty Is clear as crystal. Muni HlniHl ! > } Sllvnr. If wo do not stand by Oliver , honestly and unlltnchltiRly , a new party v.111 arise that will , and It will draw to It a vast ma jority of democrats , for the fight between monomotalllsts and blmetalllstB Is nn irre pressible conflict , which can never be settled nnnfly till it Is settled In the right way , which is our way the way of the Chicago platform of 1896. The men who made that platform , as well as the men back of them , had , nnd still have , the courage of their convictions. Having put their handd to the plow , they do not propose to look back , but will press on to victory. What is more , they have control of the party machinery In nearly every state and territory In the union , nnd , knowing they arc right , they propose to use It for atl It is worth , in nil proper ways. The proposition that wo must support President McKlnley'e Philippine policy. If ho hns any , right or wrong , is the veriest rot a tale told by nn idiot. MeKlnlcy'n Policy. Support the president's policy , eh ? Will some gentleman pleauo tell us what that poricy is ? Has he any ? If so , why doesn't ho flay so ? The truth is , ho bos none. Ho Is an opportunist a political Wllklns Mlcawber , waiting for eoinethlng to turn up. Ho U letting things drift , and they nro drifting to the deuce. Meantime our sol diers are being killed and die of disease In fihoals. For what purpose ? Wlir any body undertake to say ? I defy any expan sionist to stand up nnd Inform us what the president's policy Is. No ono will say , but some say , and moro's the pity and nhamc eomo calling themselves democrats "The president Is wrong , but wo must support the president. " To this complexion has it como at Tast , tbat we must ehut up our thinkers , close our mouths nnd chloroform our consciences in order to be considered patriots. No : if the president Is wrong ho should bo set right. If ho will not cease to do wrong ho should bo bounced as ho will be BO soon ns the American people can get a crack at him. In the Interim congress should restrain him from the further ex penditure of American blood and American treasure , in his career of "criminal aggres sion. " for that is what he nlmsollf defined "forcible annexation" to be. If ho has not sufficient courage and fortitude and strength to resist pressure of the gamblers In human blood and lives who are holding him to this evil and ruinous course , the American people will find a president who has. His name , too , is Wil liam Wliriam Jennings Bryan of Nebraska. The remainder of the afternoon was oc cupied 'by a series of field events that af forded a good deal of humorous entertain ment Dor the crowd. Prizes of moderate value were offered for the -winners of 'the various events that were -won as follows : Egg race Mrs. Bettc , first ; Mrs. Bines second. Fat men's race < 3. J. Leddard , H. II.

After dinner the crowd was reinforced by hundreds of South Omaha people and many worklugmon Tvho came with their families after their day's work was done. At 7:30 : o'clock the people again congregated around the speaker's stand and -were entertained by a very creditable concert program by the Hadcnow bond. Then Ed P. Smith again officiated ns chairman and Introduced Con gressman Clark , who spoke very briefly In preface to the more elaborate address of Mr. Bryan. Congressman Clark explained that ho 'was merely a sort of political John the Baptist. tHe referred to the good old times when Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson eat In the presidential chair as the repre sentatives of the true democracy and then ho declared that In 1900 they will elect a legitimate successor of these distinguished democrats. Ho referred to W. J. Bryan , who was thus Introduced. 'Jlryun'N ' Carillnl Ilcccptlon. Mr. Bryan was greeted with loud and pro longed cheers as ho advanced to the front of the platform and faced the crowd that by tbat tlmo numbered fully 3,000 people. In beginning ho modestly excused the eulogium that had just been pronounced by Con gressman Clark by explaining- that all that tics ono man to another are the Ideas he elands for. "Tho people of Nebraska have been good to mo because I stand for certain political ideas and I have always tried to exalt those ideou and glvo them credit for whatever success I nave achieved. Wo are ihero tonight for a common , purpose , and tha Is that the government Bhall bo 'nearer wha it ought to be than it Is now. " Continuing , Mr. Bryan referred to his re cent visit to the summer resorts by the Great Lakes and he eald that ho woo etruck by tbo thought that It is 'a ehame that so few of our 70,000.000 of people can spare a few weeks time nnd a few hundred dollars to enjoy such an outing. The people who produce the wealth , are the least able to permit Uiemsolvca euch a luxury. Why Is it that the people who produce the wealth have so llttlo of it and the others have ec great a share ? Ho dec-laved that there li subject for thought in the remark of Bis marck that the people must protect them selves agolnat those who produce nothln but laws. "Tho trouble is , " continued the speaker , 'that ' the producers of wealth have so little share in making the laws. This Is because thoeo who use government to advance their financial interests are always watchful , while the others are too apt to be bound by partisan prejudice. They are too ready to declare that whatever ono party does must bo right and tint whatever another party does IB necessarily wrong. The farmers and the laboring men together con stitute a maiorltr of this nation and if they would eland together they could elect any president or any congressman or enact any legislation that they choote. Why don't tUey'do it ? It is because they have been led to fight one another instead of combining against their common enemy. TiilU * to tlie Farmer * . "In the campaign of 189S the laboring men in the cities were taught to oppose the laboring men on tbo farms. I remember that I took a trip through the mining country nnd there I found that the miners had been told that they would bo ruined by free sil ver. I told them tbat the farmers of Nebraska could stand It longer than they cpuld , because when they could not afford to buy coal they could burn corn , but that when they the mlneru could not afford to buy corn they could not eat coal. The farmer was the first man on the scene and he will be the last to go when civilization disappears. The farmer can stand hard times na long as anybody , but he has got past the point where ho is going to vote for that which is wrong just because he can btand it. I am glad that the farmers of Nebraska are in the front rank of the re former * and If they aud the laboring men will stand together this fall wo will defeat the republican ticket and give President Me- Klnlcy a scare that will Induce him to send another commltelon to Europe to secure bt- mctnlllfitn. No farmer or laboring man can afford to bo a republican and I run now con vinced that no ono can afford to bo a re publican. " UlftcitftflFH the Inrnme Tni , iMr. Bryan then spoke briefly of the Income - como tax. Ho doctored that the taxes levied .o support the government should bo ad- usted In proportion to the benefits that the people receive from the government. They are not so adjusted today. Ho believed that the Income tax was right and ho believes so today , llo proposed to keep nt it until an Income tax law Is passed under which no Judge or set of Judges will bo able to build a bulwark around the property of the rich and lay the burden of government on the poor. In this connection the speaker took a back handed slap at tbo Now York democrats by remarking that when the bill was under con sideration he had declared that the rich democrats would not leave the party on ac count of Its support of a measure that was simple justice. IIo had slnco discovered that ho did not know these democrats when ho made this assertion. Continuing the speaker ( briefly referred to the tariff , but soon dropped back into the silver discussion. IU declared that thq sil ver Issue Is not dead , but that it Is still before - fore the public. It had ibeen burled so many time ? nnd ao often coma to llfo that even his republican friends must be suspicious of its vitality. IIo had examined < the corpse nnd had decided that It would last until 1900. It Is impossible to bury a question that concerns the people , nnd this Is the secret of the vitality at the free silver Issue. "We may have now Issues , but wo will have all the old ones also. There win not bo a line taken out of the Chicago platform. We will not oven take out tbo ratio of 16 to 1. To drop the ratio would be to drop the silver question and to drop the silver question would bo to drop the whole platform. " 'Mr. ' Bryan then paid his respects to the trusts , which , ho contended , now constitute a bigger issue than they did In 1S96. Ho de clared that thcro have been more trusts or- ; anlzcd during the present administration than there were during the entire previous history of the country. The trust problem , however , 'brought him to the money trust and incidentally back to the question that was the almost exclusive topic of his speech. Ho decfared that the present prosperity of this country is duo to the $200,000,000 that was borrowed In order to carry on the war and argued that if n little moro money pur chased so much prosperity it would certainly bo a good thing to have a good deal more money.

Hubbard from this city to Lincoln was the occasion of a com plimentary banquet In his honor last even ing in the drawing rooms of the Commercial club. The affair was under the auspices of the Knights of the Maccabees and before the banquet hall doors were opened there was an informal reception in the parlors. Having served as deputy supreme com mander of the Maccabees for several terms 'Mr. ' Hubbard has a host of friends among members of the order , nearly all of whom were present. It was a representative fra ternal gathering , as most of.thoso who were not brother sir knights were members of other secret societies. There were appropriate decorations , the prettiest toing In the dining rooms , where covers -were laid for eighty guests. The fea ture of the occasion was the post prandial toasts and responses. The toast master was Frank E. Moores. The subjects of toasts Mere arranged In an acrostic spelling the name Hubbard. Thcrowas but one response and that was by Mr. Hubbard. Briefly he acknowledged the honor paid him by those who attended the banquet and expressed ro- srct to leave work which has been made pleasant by so many congenial friends and acquaintances. He referred to the progress the ( Maccabees had made In the last few years and added the hope that the order might continue to prosper as rapidly in the future.

SCnDRMANHOMKFROHMANILA President of Philippine Commission in Omaha Enroute to Washington , FAVORABLE IMPRESSION OF FILIPINOS American * Mtint Deal Oently rrltb the Filipino He IH Entitled to Syin- j pnthctlc Coniililerntlon Plead ing TrnltB In Illn Character. Jacob Gould Schurman , president of the Philippine commission , passed through the city yesterday afternoon on his way to Washington , D. C. Mr. Schurman came directly from the Philippine islands via Japan , whereho was mot toy Mrs. Schurman , I who visited a month in the island awaiting his return. Mrs. Schurman left her home , Ithaca , N. Y. , June 12 , going to meet her * husband to accompany him on the return voyage after the completion of his duties in the Philippines. President Schurman , appeared to have borne the rigors of a tropical cllmato re markably well , although ho looked somewhat thinner than a year fc , > when he visited In Omaha. Mrs. Schurman was hale and hearty and apparently enjoyed the travel immensely. At the outset President Schurman said he could not give his vlows on Philippine prob lems. It would be ft breach of diplomatic usage , ho said , to communicate with anyone - ono on the subject before making his offi cial report to the president. President I Schurman appeared to be more anxious to ask questions than to answer them. From his conversation it was evident that he do slred to know how public opinion leaned as regarding the future policy for the Philip pines , nnd what was the attitude of the press. Ho was interested to learn the ed itorial opinion regarding the course the gov ernment ought to take after Its sovereignty Is recognized by the Philippines. The nearest ho was disposed to give any expression of his own views was to say that it would be wise to adopt a course or plan which would enable the government to maintain laws and order and at the same tlmo to give the Filipinos no cause for dis content. Rrmnrkulilc ProKrcnit of tlie Filipino. "It will bo a surprise to many Americans to know , " said President Schurman , "that the educated Filipino is the equal of any other civilized people In the world. You may take their lawyers , doctors , artlats and educated business men and put them along side of the same class of any other country and they will equal them In mental capacity and In every attribute of citizenship. Great are the possibilities of thceo people and their country. They are quick to perceive the advantages of western civilization ; they are inspired by a hope to improve their con dition Intellectually and materially. Under the direction of the American government the Inhabitants of the Philippine islands will show strides in tbo aria of civilization quite as remarkable as the progress at tained by the Japanese the last thirty years. Three decades ago the Japanese ware as be nighted , exclusive and intractable as the Chinese are today , yet In thirty years the wonderful progress roado toy the Japanese has raised that nation to a treaty power , until it is admitted to the family of nations. Such , achievements are possible with the Filipino , who Is no Ices intelligent , though , perhaps , less industrious than the Japanese. "Americans must deal gently with the Filipino. He Is entitled to sympathetic con sideration. There are many pleasing traits In bis character ; Ills homo life Is exem plary , and as a class he la well disposed to ward his neighbor or his superior. Once his confidence is gained , 1f dealt with in a frank , straightforward manner , the mlsunderstand- Inc will all be dissipated and the Filipino will realize that the American is his friend , " IntcrcKtliiir Country. "The Philippines are an exceedingly In teresting country , " Mr. Schurman added , and he bad gathered vastly more Information about them by traveling from one to an other than ho possibly could have done by reading and study , During President Schurraan's conversation most of his questions were with regard to the mode of government the United States Intends to adopt ; whether it should bo co lonial , territorial or simply a protectorate with home rule for the Filipinos. Howas on his way to Washington , he said , and would seek an interview with the president as soon as possible. Whether or not he would remain in tbo commission , Mr , Schur man eatd , would depend on the wishes of President McKInley. President Schurman's visit was a brief one , bis train having stopped only fifteen minutes , Mrs. Schurman and he chatted with friends who visited the depot to greet them. In the party were Edward nosowater , his son Charles nosowater and Charles Young , the young men being alumni of Cornell uni versity , the Institution of which Mr , Bchur- man Is president. Mr , Edward Rosewater , having recently delivered a series of lectures at the university , was informed in regard to much that had happened in Ithaca during President Bchurmau's absence , and the two spent most of the time of tbo brlof visit chatting about friends and matters of Inter est to both. llnUillnir 1'iTiiillii.
