Zelsler, who waa considered one of -the brightest students in the University of Chicago, The experience of this one clergyman In his rounds from home to home Is but an In stance of what dozens of other ministers of the gospel were called on to perform dur ing the day. It was Impossible for the be reaved parents to secure all the carriages they wished to convey their friends and relatives to the cemeteries. In many rases It waa not possible for all members of the Immediate family to ride In the funeral ortega because no carriages could be pro cured for them. The liverymen were simply overwhelmed by the demands made upon them and ear nestly urged that, aa far aa possible, the relatives should content themselves with a carriage for the pallbearers, the hearse and one other carriage for the family. Where there were more members of the family than could conveniently ride' In the single carriage they were oompelled to make their wny to the cemetery by other means of transportation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l.-Presldent and Mrs. Roosevelt Inaugurated today the offi cial social seaaon In the nation's capital with a brilliant reception at the White House. For more than 100 years It has been an unbroken custom of presidents of the United States to receive on New Tear's day all officials of the government located In Washington and such citlxens as might care to pay their respects to the nation's chief magistrate.' In addition to cltliens of the United Stated members of the dip lomatic corps always embrace the oppor tunity personally to extend to the presi dent their own good wishes and the greet ings of their governments. The reception of the president on New Year's day Is thoroughly democratic. That of today was notably so. No distinction of race or class was made, except such as were rendered necessary by a due respect for order. All persons rich or poor, with or without rank were given a gracious greeting by the president and Mrs. Roose velt. The Interior of the White House never was more beautiful than today. The man sion glowed with elertrlo lights and floral decorations were disposed about the cor ridors and parlors.

Among the representatives of the nations of the world It was noticed that there was one absentee. Colombia, one of this country's sister republics of the south, was not represented at the recep tion. In view of the present relations be tween the United States and the govern ment' of Colombia the absence of a repre sentative of the South American republic) was noted Instantly. Indeed, among some of the diplomats, it w s regarded as sig nificant. General Rafael Reyes, the min ister of Colombia, In this country on a special mission, did not attend the recep tion lest, it Is understood, his presence at the White House might be misconstrued by his people He, therefore, had begged to be excused. Dr. Ilerran, the Colombian charge d'affaires, waa detained at his resi dence by a bronchial affeotlon.. , ,- , .. Today, as a year ago, a new republic was represented for the first time.

Russia Grows Stubborn. PARIS, Jan. 1. It Is said In a we'.I In formed quarter here that France would have no right to officially communicate Russia's reply to Japan and it Is alleged that the reply has not yet been framed and that it is said It will be presented to the Japanese government through Baron de Rosen, the Russian minister at Tokto. At the same time, It has been known here for the last few days that Russia's atti tude has been changing. aa a result of the bellicose policy which Japan Is pursuing, and that Russia Is disinclined to make the concessions which would have been possible. It Is asserted, had Japan adopted a more conciliatory course. It Is reiter ated that If ' there Is any breaking off of relations, Japan, not Russia, will take the Initial step. The Information of the Japan ese minister In London, therefore, Is in a line, generally, with that which the diplo matic corps here has been In possession of for several days. But, It Is conceded that until Russia's reply Is actually submitted any discussion of Its . contents must be more or leas speculative. . Berlin Hopes for Peace. BERLIN, Jan. 1.

Congressman De Armond of Missouri, In responding - to the toast, "What of the Future," said In part: It Is a Question of the tj and the area will 'repeat it until time shall be no more. It Is the question of ambition, of hope, of f Git r it Invn n f hut. 'f nhu.ltu nesa; the question of great anil small, of good and bad. But as assigned to me this evening it may appropriately be treated as a question, touching the outlook of our party. Can tho democratic nartv win the rnmlni national election? Yea. Will the victory be ours? That Is not so easily answered, for that depends upon what the party will say and do when next it convenes in national convention If It shall wisely address Itself to the Issues of the day, asserting nothing offensively, apologizing for nothing and niiMii name xor its nominees men wno ought to be and therefore will be acceptable to Its rank and file, It will win. But If In folly it' repudiates Its nast Its recent past or If It needlessly antagonizes and drives away elements which were not with 11 or wnicn lert it in Its recent past, the promise of the times and of conditions will Srove delusive and we shall go down to efeat. I have no nlatform to suirsreat. no candi dates to commend to the exclusion of others. As one who followed enthusi astically the party ling borne so nobly bv your great NebraBkan. I would be un willing, even with sweeping victory as the prloe of the baseness, to say aught or do aught In repudiation of the man who led on the mlllons of devoted democrats who followed the party banner In 'W or 19n0. But '9(1. with Its stirring activities, Is In the r:reat ocean of time that has been, and so t Is with 1900. Today Is our day and this Is the year of our pressing political duty and inviting political prospect. Wonld Welcome All. As I would not lndulae in self-stultlflca. tlon, so I would not be prescriptive. I would welcome all who come to battle on our side now, for what now Is In Issue, and I would repel none whose help we may have now. becauae we did not sret It in some campaign of the paat; Just as we wel comes, tnose wno came to us nrst in m, after a lifetime of opposition. None who were against us before, but sincerely desire to be with us now, will come with words of denunciation upon their Hps or the holler than thou aulrlt in their hearts. The sincere ones who should find a hearty welcome and full fellowship are those who would be wun ua now lor tne country s f ood, bqrausu they believe we are for what 11 the tight now on is right. Those, if there be any. wno would come to ami us to repudiate our past and humbly glorify thorn for their past either are utterly want ing in sincerity or are too vain and too dictatorial, too narrow and vengeful, to be of value to the party. 1 am one or tnoee wno noiieve tnat no man who did not support the ticket In 'W or 1900 can be available for the presidential nomination In 1904. The reasons for this conclusion are so muny and so evident that any specification would be tlrerome aa wll as uaHeaa. nut tne issues will arouse the patriotic) cltlsun to a hlifh rllch of seal and energy, We shall stand for the re forms no ardently oeslrea ty many, so vltaj to many, The country la ripe for a ehunge. The republican party has been tried, and surely has been found wanting, sadly wanting. I.abor and oupttul bid fair to unite in support of the democratlo standard-bearer. Our platform should tell the world that In our party the criminal trusts shaH find a foe not to be appeased er di verted. We nhould voice, the sentiment of democracy and of fairness for a revision of the tariff, not to destroy, but to enve from destruction. Extravagance, so typical of modern republics nlxni, should give plue to democratlo economy, without which gov ernments bexxime Intolerable. The affulrs of these Vnltnd States should engage the best consideration of our nation's states men, and wild protects beyond the seas should no longer absorb our substance or undermine our noble institutions. Prac tical, democratlo sense will win, I pert-h ot Newlands, Union hi ranks; the contest of 1904 to be In the north and wvst r'fcio one man with ss great following as Bryan, yet his candi dacy Is out of the question; Issues and oanCtdmtes eetected with a view to victory; down with high tariff and tmpertalivm and up with a corporation tax and tariff re vlvton; free trade ts a myth and sliver will yet be restored to Its norm.U place; Orover Cleveland condemned as ul'vuntroun to democracy and Preftdent Rooaevelt dis posed of as tbe enly radtcaUst of his party, yet the only republican who had ever shown a disposition to correct republican abuses and the unquestionable nominee vi his party this is an epitome of the ad dress of Senator rVancis O. NewlanUs of Nevada on the subject, "Democracy rti 1. After two disastrous eunpalTnS dv moo rs ey, though still strong in the south, Is now In power in only two of the north ern states Montana and Nevada and that northern democracy has never, since the civil war, been numerically so weak In the senate and house as now. The contest of i Is to be In the north and west, and the candidate, the Ixsues and the organisa tion must be selected with a view to vic tory there. As to candidates, no single man In the party has so many followers as Mr. Bryan, but the country has not sufficiently re covered from the rancor and bitterness of the two campaigns in which he led the reform forces with signal courage snd brilliancy to permit his candidncv. Mr. Bryan, recognising this condition, has mlxely declined candidacy. His vindication will yet come. Meanwhile he will be the f rent populnr leader, whoe Influence would e most potent in keeping the democratic party In Its ancient grooves of devotion to popular rights. Outside of Mr. Bryan It would be diffi cult to select a man who would be a plat form to hlmslf. (if the older democrats, sll have been Identified with the differences of the Inst two campaigns, and of late. In the northern states, the democratic party has h:id no such opportunity In state ad ministration as would bring a northern leader Into prominence. The democratlo candidate must, therefore, be either a new and untried man or one prominently Iden tified with past differences. It Is, there fore, sll the more Important that the dem ocratic party should relv upon a careful framing of the Isoues of the campaign and a thorough organisation of the party. Defining- the Issnes. As to the Issues, Mr. Newlands said thst the last campaign demonstrated that the manses of the people attached little Im portance to the question of Imperialism. It was clear that the intense commercial ism of the past decade had blunted the sensibilities and conscience of the Amer can people. Tbe colonial system was now established snd would have to stand Its trial, and whilst the democracy would not fall to reassert the time-honored doctrine of the Declaration of Independence, and Its applicability to other poples as well ns our own, the Issue would have little prac tical effect In the coming campaign. As to the money question, time has vindi cated the doctrine nf the democratic party as to the quantitative theory of money. Stiver will yet be restored to its old position as a money metal but the time Is not now. The tariff will saaln be an Issue, but the democratic party will not again present the kind of Issue mnde by Mr. Cleveland. It Is safe to say that the radical, uncom promising views of Mr. Cleveland did InoHl culable harm both to the country and to the democratic party. Democracy must Insist rp:m tnMnjr drwn t first' the top bricks of the tHi-iff wal. ns Penator Hncon of tlrorein h r-nvirU'l. The reduction must be a grsdunl n". The protection theory Is now thoreiip'il- 1 - terwoven with all our Imhislrlil conll tlons and free trade is a myth. I'm on Trunin. In connection with this gradual tailff re vision we should Institute a sftem if in ternal taxation upon the great industrial corporations, the magnitude of whose ope rations has nma.-.cd the world. A tax of a certain percentage upon the gross annual receipts of all industrial corporations ex ceeding JMO.iXK) or $1.(rhi,iKX), similar to the tax Imposed by the war revenue act upon the sngar refineries and the oil refineries, whilst putting aggregated capital under Just contribution to the national expense., would In Itself handicap these great corpo rations In their, struggle with weaker do mestic competitors, would give to the en tire people a part of the large sums ex torted from them by monopoly and would constitute a fund applicable to wise plnns of social and Industrial betterment. Such a system could be so devised, In connection with publicity of the affairs of these great Industrial corporations, as to wisely regu late them and divert to the public funds the. extortionate gains of monopoly and oppression. The democratic pnrty should promise wise, moderate and progressive action re garding labor and social questions. Wo must give the laboring men of the country to understand that we are with them In their aspirations for a fair distribution of the profits of production In which they share and lor better conditions of Indus trial and social life. Our government is far behind European governments In this par tleular These governments, founded as they are on the divine rights of klnps, on rank and privilege, having ascertained that the laboring men were aroused to action that must result In either reform or revolu tion, have been yielding reform to prevent revolution. We should give the tollers of the country to understand that we are In favor of conditions that will result In a distributed, not a concentrated, wenllh. and at the same time we must convince the capital of the country that we aim no general attack upon the wealth now exist ing, even though part of it Is the result of prlvilge and abuse; that we are bent not so much upon recovering extortionate gain In the past as to prevent such gain In the future.
