LINCOLN. An (j. ?2. (Special Telegram.)
The sudden rffort of tho popocratlc coun
cllmnn to enforce nn ordinance that has
been o dead letter for many years Is di
rectly traccablo to their own failure to
tnlto advantage of the privilege that has
annually been accorded pcoplo of all po
litical parties. Tho local democratic com
mittee, In co-operation with olllcers of the
state rentral committee, had planned to
suspend a number nt Ilryan banners? across
tho principal streets In tho downtown sec
tion, and nftcr they had been told by Mayor
Wlnnctt that they would not be molested,
a. filgn-patntlDR Arm Was employed to do
the work, llcforo tho banners wcro com
pleted, however, a number of largo flag
bearing pictures of McKlnlcy and Roose
velt madn thnlr nppcarnnco and tho Hchcme
of the democrats was at onco dropped.
Tho Uryan men wanted a monopoly of tho
street banner business, and when they saw
opposition emblems flying In conspicuous
places about town they Immediately re
called an old ordlnanco that said some
thing about overhead signs. On Investiga
tion It was found that the ordlnanco pro
hibited placing signs over streets or side
walks and tho democrats decided they
could not find a better tlmo for enforcing
Its provisions. "When Councilman
Schroedor Introduced bis resolution call
ing for tho enforcement of all sidewalk
and street ordinances tho council was
unanimously In favor of Its adoption, for
no ono but tho popocratlc members sus
pected what was tno real purpose of tho
measure
Klrst Tlm In HIMiiry.
"Wo havo nlwayB allowed pcoplo to
placo banners over tho streets for a legit
imate purpose," said a member of tho
council who has been connected with tho
city administration for tho last ten years,
"and so far as my knowledge goes, tho
prlvllego has not been denied any ono. To
bo consistent with tho rosolutlon, It would
bo unlawful for tho city authorities to al
low tho construction of street arches for
parades or oven tho erection of platforms
in tho streets."

AUDI? It N, Neb., Aug. 22. W. J. Bryan
mado tho first speech hero today of a series
scheduled for today In tho Fl.st congres
sional district of Nebraska. Tho meeting
was held In the court house grounds and
in splto of n light rain whloh was falling a
good crowd was present. The First congres
sional district was represented by Mr. Ilryan
In congrcsj and since his retirement has
been represented by a republican member.
Mr. Ilryan mado a plea for tho election of
Hon. (1. W. llerger, tho democratic candi
date for congress. Following this ho made
an appeal for tho support of the whole
democratic ticket, comparing tho govern
ment to a. corporation. Ho said all citizens
wero stockholders, as such they owed It to
themselves, to look well after the conduct of
directors of tho corporation. Ha charged
tho republican administration, tho govern
racnt directors, with deceit In all lis policies.
Its deception, he said, had been practiced
In rcgnrd to tho financial system, the trusts
and tho foreign policy of the country. Ho
charged tho republican party with tho In
tentlon of fastening a national debt upon tho
people. He devoted himself especially to the
enlargement of the army, saying that If "we
could tnko tho Phlllpplno Islands wo could
subject any weak people." Tho republican
party was building its policy upon tho plea
mat -might makes right." They wore ns
sertlng thnt tho financial question was ihls
year tho paramount lssuo only because tho
republican party regarded the dollar of moro
consequence than tho man. He dealt upon
liberty ns a God-given right, snylng tho Fili
pinos wcro as much entitled to It us wo are:
In forming them a good government wo aro
only promising whnt kings promised under
similar circumstances. Wo have, ho as
serted, no tltlo to tho Phlllpplno islands,
owing to tho Declaration of Independence.
In tho first case Spain hnd no title, and In
tho second place we cannot buy people, nor
was it any moro profltnble than wlso to wage
foreign conquest. Alrendy moro had been
spent in tho way of treasuro In tho Philip
pines, to say nothing of blood, than tho
profits of trado with thoso Islands for many
years wouiu amount to.
TEMERITY OF A TECUMSEH MAN
In Uncivil In the Audience Catechise
llrjnn on tin- Philippine and
Filipino Qucntlnn.
TECUMSEH, Neb., Aug. 22. (Sncclal Tel.
egrnm.) Thcro was much in tho uaturo of
uisappointmcnt In W. J. Brian's Tocnmneh
visit today. In the first place tho weather
was tnrcatenlng nnd owing to n Into train
the speaker was nn hour behind hl nn.
pointed time, nt noon, nnd having a 2 o'clock
engagement In Pawneo City, with a twenty
mllo drive, Mr. Bryan nllowed himself but
twenty minutes to speak. He said ho was
sorry that ho was so pressed for time, for
moro wero many Important Issues In tho
present campaign ho desired to discuss with
the peoplo of Johnson county. Tho Issue
of free silver was not touched, but tho
speaker diverted his time to a discussion of
Imperialism and militarism. The repub
lican party of today, ho explained, was not
a fit party to havo charge of the affairs of
the nation, for it had widely departed from
tho foundation principles of government of
tho nation. Somo pointed questions were
naked the speaker from the audience and
his answers wcro somewhat humorous, but
by no means logical. Not over 1.000 people
of all political belief heard the address.
Tho most Interesting incident was
colloquy between Mr. Bryun and
a gentleman In the audience, evi
dently a republican, who took tho
prlvllego of propounding several questions
to tho speaker. This gentlemnn Inter
rupted Mr. Brynn toward tho close of his
speech by suggesting that tho Filipinos
wero on a par with our Indlnns. To this
Mr. Bryan responded:
'Now, ns I understand you, you think wo
wero right In taking tho property of tho
IndlnnB?"
"No, sir."
"Then do you think It right to take tho
property of tho Filipinos?"
"No, sir," responded tho mnn In tho
audience, "and nobody Is going to. How
docs tho treatment of tho Filipinos differ
from the treatment of Jail birds In this
country? Do you bellcvo In punishing tho
Jnll birds?"
Mr. Bryan; "Your face Is tho face of
nn Intelligent man and ou cannot fall
to see the difference between putting men
Into tho penitentiary for tho commission of
a crlmo and going over to tho Philippines
and taking chargo of tho government of
the Filipinos?"
"Whon I euo n man like you," wn3 tho
rospmiso of the Interlocutor, "who favored
tho peaco treaty, I think thnt man ought
to havo somo consistency abeut him."
"I am much obliged for your mentioning
that," replied Mr. Bryan, "for I should not
feel llko bringing it to your attention un
less called upon to do so. I urged tho
ratification of tho treaty and also urged
tho passago of a resolution promising In
dependence to tho people of the Philip
pines, nnd if your republican administra
tion hnd passed tho resolution there would
not havo been ono drop of .blood shed In
tho Philippines."
Oh, thnt Is your opinion?
'Thnt Is not only my opinion, but If
you will stop to think nbout It and glvo
tho public tho honest result of your
thoughts It will bo your opinion thnt If
we hnd made tho samo promise of inde
pendence to tho Filipinos thnt wo did to
tho Cubans, wo would havo had no conflict
there. Had wo treated Cuba ns wo did the
Philippines, thcro would bo war In Cuba
today and had we treated tho Filipinos as
wo did tho Cubans thoro would be no war
In tho Philippines today."
SMALL CROWD AT PAWNEE
Few People Turn Out tti llenr tlio
Aililrenn hy W. J.
Ilryun.
PAWNEE, Nob., Aug. 22. (Special Tclo
gram.) This was a sorry and very disap
pointing day for tho fusion forces In Paw
neo City. W. J. Bryan nnd O. W. Berg of
Lincoln spoke to a comparatively small
crowd In tho public squnro hero this after
noon. Both men arrived In town unan
nounced and no committed was on hand
to meet them. When driven to tho hotol
no cheers went up for tho champion of
fusion nnd reform.
A nice rain Tuesday Interrupted haying
and tho farmors hnd a splendid opportunity
to nttond tho rally, but few took advan
tage of It and tho few who did soqmcd
Indifferent to the colonel's eloquent spiels
against tho ovlls of prosperity nnd Im
perialism. Tho applauso given was not
very liberal. Probably not moro than 250
or 300 pcoplo wero present from surround
ing towns. The Pawnee band furnished
music.
Mr. Bryan charged tho republican party
with having done nothing to relieve tho
peoplo at large from the burdens of tho
trusts, saying that more trusts had been
organized In tho last three years than dur
ing tho cntlro previous history of the
country. He also charged the republican
party with desiring expansion for trade
teasons only. Ho urged that If annexation
In the tropics was to bo undertaken for
trade purposes only thero was sure to bs
disappointment. Tropical countries did not
supply n great deal In the way of com
merce. Great Britain's trado with the
United States, for Instnnce, has a far
greater per capita than her trado with
India and yet Great Brltnln did not own
the United States not quite. Ho did not
ogreo with those who considered It n
"religious" duty to hold on to the Phil
ippines. As a matter of fact the ma
jority of tho Filipinos were already Chris
tians. It was still further truo that the
Christians there woro antagonistic to
American domination, while tho Moham
medans and Sulus wero friendly.
Si. caking of tho financial ratio Mr. Bryan
said:
"The republican party now openly es
pouses tho old standard. They declared
for tho gold standnrd at Philadelphia after
they threw over a platform sanctioned
by the administration that contained a
promlso for International bimetallism.
They say they do not bcllevo In the ratio
of 16 to 1. When they mako thnt stato
ment you ask them why Mr. McKlnlcy
administration Is coining silver dollars
today at tho ratio of 16 to 1. In the month
of March tho republlcnn administration
coined 4000,000 silver dollnrs at the ratio
of 16 to 1 and yet the republicans think
tho ratio of 16 to 1 Is not right. It Is the
ratio wo havo had for thirty-four years nnd
the republican party today docs not ad
vocato any change In tho ratio."
Mr. Brynn also hinted nt what he con
sidered another objection to acquiring out
side territory addressing himself to re
publicans nnd saying:
Fnder your own administration men
whom your own president selected have
been gulltv of embczzloment of tlio funds
nt thn Cuban, nnd If that occurs right
bore under the shndow of our own country
what would bo the peculations mm em
bezzlements It wo sent men to rulo over
7.ockuw Fiiinlnn. Even now you will find
they nro organizing development companies
in tlio i nueii ninies iur iu i uiuim"""
and that those development companies are
i dying on American nfllrluls over there
to help them get franchises. You will llnd
that people nro stundlng ready .o gobble
tip the frnnchlses In the Islands, nnd don't
you know what a tlmo we have hnd In
this country with thoso men who lire
getting tho franchises. Illinois Is quite n
good stnto, It Is regnrded ns ono of the
great stntcM of the. union, nnd yet In IlllnoN
they got through tho legislature n bill
which gave tho street car lines of Chlcugo
a chanco to monopolize tho streets of Chi
cago for fifty years. That law was so
bad that tho public sentiment was nrouscl
and they repealed that law by the next
sitting of the legislature. If that hnppens
In the stnte of Illinois what will happen

FALLS CITY ENDS THE DAY

.Mr. llrynn llnrilet liny of
the CnntpnlKU.
FALLS CITY, Neb., Aug. 22. This has
been a busy day lor Mr. Bryan. Ho may
be said to have begun tho day bofore yes
terday closed, for It was after 1 o'clock
this morning when he 'reached Auburn, his
first stopping placo aftor leaving Lincoln.
Getting n few hours' Bleep there, ho was
prepared to commence tho day early. Ho
began bis speech at Auburn shortly after
8 o'clock. Thoro ho mado an hour's ad
dress, and after bolng drlvon rapidly to
tho depot ho was compelled to wait fifty
minutes for a delayed train to tako him to
Tecutnseh, tho next stopping place. At
Tecumseh ho spoko comparatively briefly
and after faking a hasty dinner, started
upon a twenty-two-mile drive ncross the
country to Pawnee. This drlvo was mado
by means of three relays In two hours'
time. Tho trip from Pawneo to Falls City
was mado in a freight cubooso, behind n
special engine secured -.by, - the Pawnee
county committee.
Mr. Bryan had tho largest audience of tho
day at tho evening meeting at Falls City.
Tho speech was general in Its purport. He
spoke of tho importance of securing a dem
ocratic congress, saying that If elected he
wanted tho opportunity not only to fill the
office, but oIbo to sign bills that would
remedy tho ovlls of which tho demands
complain. Mr. Bryan expressed lilnmelf as
favorable to tho eloctlon of senators by
direct vote of tho peoplo and ho repeated his
declaration of four yenrs ago that no ques
tion Is settled until It Is settled right. On
this basis nothing has been done for four
years past. Tho republican party had done
nothing In the Interest of the peoplo nt
largo, but all for tho favored few. Among
other acts which he charged up ngalnst tho
republicans was the passago of tho gold
standard law, which ho denounced ns a
servile surrender to tho national banks.
Ho assorted that tho republicans did not
dare discuss either tho currency legislation
nr tho trust ouestlon. Referring to tho
trusts, ho Eald tho way of the common peoplo
to determluo which party to support ns
m-niimt the. trusts was to oscortoln which
party tho trusts themselves wero supporting
and then tako tho opposite course.
Mr. Bryan also nsscrtcd that thcro is a
irpnernl ilncrenso In the output of tho In
dustrial products this year as compared with
lnsl vear. and ho quoted tno reports oi mo
commercial agencies In support of this prop
osltlon. On Imperialism ho said: "I don't
want our drumbeat heard around tno wotiu,
hut I do want the light of American lib
erty to encircle tho cntlro globe."
Mr. nrvan Is to leave ai loiuurruw
morning for Topekn, reaching that city at
10:30.

and privates were at their best becauso
Adjutant General Barry had expressed
himself ns being greatly pleased with
the manner and spirit In which the various
companies performed their military du
ties. All this was said regardless of tho
fact that 700 of tho boys ran tho guards
last night nnd enjoyed tho freedom of tho
city. Cnptnln Gctner of the First was
officer of tho day and ho reports everything
to be running along In high military order.
Tho hent was rather intense this afternoon,
but tho boys went through their regular
dally maneuvers on tho drill grounds with
ns much caso and mllltnry grace as It thoy
wcro being fanned by tho cool breezes from
tho frigid zone. Thcro wns tho usual sized
audience out to tho grounds to witness
the drills In tho afternoon, but thoro wns
an exceptionally largo crowd out to wit
ness dress parade.

regiment had mischief In his eyo tonight,
which finally resulted In a grand mock
parade, In which n member of tho hospital
corps was compelled to don n robe dc
nult over his uniform nnd bo escorted
nlfout by several hundred of his compan
ions, who tossed him In n blanket nt will,
Tho Omaha guards aro fixed up qulto

Another Is labeled "Old Chief Kybosh. '
whllo another has Inscribed upon It In bold
faced letters, "I nm running life's rnco but
once; shall I win or loso? That's for mo
to say."
Tho fact that Governor Poyntor and Btaff
