Congressman Hitchcock declares that
he will hold aloof both personally and
with his paper from the factional flgbt
In tb Nebraska democracy. His paper,
however, seems to have already waded
Into the fight about as far as it can go

to hold the balance is to take the other
end for himself.
In his capacity as congressional com
mittee for this district Blackburn insists
be will not call any convention to nomi
nate the republican candidate for con-
Ureas before fall. This must be another
of Blackburn's bluffs. It will be remem
bered that he declared over bis signature
a few weeks ago that he would not con
vene himself in committee "this week,
or next week, or the week after," but
forthwith called himself to order the
very next day and Issued his proclama
tion for a congressional convention to
select the district delegates to Chicago,
Blackburn's talk about waiting until fall
before calling a congressional convention
may bo taken as warning that the call
will bo out within ten days.
A CLtVKLAKD WXtLABATVHf.
Mr. Cleveland's statement In regard to
the course pursued lu Ms second admin
istration for protecting the gold reserve
is an authoritative and Interesting con
trlbutlon to the history of that time,
but In ascribing all the difficulties of
the period to the silver legislation of
1W0 the ex-presldent laid himself open
to Just criticism. Coccedlng that that
legislation had something to do with
producing the unfortunate .fJnsnr.Ial and
business conditions of 103 and subse
quent years, it Is also true that the elec
tion of Mr. Cleveland and a democratic
congress In 1W2, upon a platform which
pledged the democracy to a complete
revolution of the fiscal policy of the
country, had a very great Influence In
bringing about the conditions from
which for several years all Interests
suffered.
As the Baltimore American remarks,
while there may be a legitimate differ
ence of opinion as to the causes of the
panic of 180.1, there ought to be none
as to the utter industrial prostration
which followed the democratic revision
of the tariff In 1804. The fact is, as
every one familiar with that period
knows, the circumstance of the election
of a democratic president and congress
had the Immediate effect of creating
financial and Industrial apprehension
and before Mr. Cleveland bad taken his
sent as president In 1803 there was evi
dence on every hand of the fear and
consternation which had taken posses
sion of the business Interests of the
country. The industries of the nation
prepared for the expected Wow which
the democratic party had threatened and
quite naturally the financial Interests
did likewise. It was reasonably felt
that If the great Industrial enterprises
were to be stricken financial interests
must necessarily suffer and in such cir
cumstances every holder of the paper
money of the government was anxious
to convert It into gold.
Giving Mr. Cleveland all the credit
that fairly belongs to him In connection
with the repeal of silver legislation and
the protection of the gold reserve, It is
still true that the pledge of his party
to overthrow the policy of protection
was In a very large degree responsible
for the calamitous panic of 1803, one of
the most disastrous in the country's his
tory, and which might have been far
worse If the tariff . measure that Mr.
Cleveland desired had been adopted.
The second Cleveland administration
will be long remembered by the Amer
ican people as a period of depression,
loss and suffering for which there is
hardly a parallel.

According to some reports from the
east there Is a revival of interest In
Senator Gorman as a ' possible presi
dential candidate, though, nothing in
evidence of It is to Im found in the ex
pressions of the democratic conventions
thus far held, or In any of the party
organs. It is therefore a reasonable
conclusion that the recrudescence of
Gorman talk, as suggested by the Phila
delphia North American, Is Important
only as showing the dissatisfaction of a
large element of the party with Parker.
When the Maryl-nder was first spoken
of as an available man for the demo
cratic presidential nomination it seemed
that his chances were likely to be very
good. He was then In favor with his
party in the south and was believed to
be well liked by many democrats In the
north, particularly in the middle states.
He had been honored with the leader
ship of the minority party in the senate
and it was thought that he would be as
likely as any one to carry those states
which the democrats must win In order
to elect their candidate this year.
Mr. Gorman was not a successful
leader In the senate. His first attempt
to hold his fellow-partisans together In
opposition to the Panama treaty failed
and the virtual effect of this was to un
seat htm as a leader. Since then he has
not been a commanding figure In demo
cratic councils, but his political shrewd
ness Is still recognized and it is by no
means an Impossible thing that the op
position to Judge Parker may endeavor
to enlist Gorman In an effort to defeat
the New York Jurist, promising the
Maryland man to do what they can to
give him the nomination.
This Is the present conjecture, but it
may have no substantial basis. At all
events. It seems to be well understood
that Mr. Gorman Is not out of the race
for the nomination and It Is also believed
that he would be much more acceptable
to the radical element than. would Judge
Parker.

The regulations prescribed by Presi
dent Roosevelt for the government of
the Panama canal zone are in their
general scope similar to those that were
prescribed by his predecessor for the
administration In the Philippines. They
will consequently bq. approved by the
American people as proper and ade
quate, since he Philippine regulations
have pre 7 4 to be entirely satisfactory
and most beneficial In results. Tha
order of the president places the entire
administration of affairs on the Isthmus
in the hands of the secretary of war
and there can be no doubt that he has
acted wisely In this respect.
Secretary Taft is a very able man.
whoso experience In the Philippines
peculiarly qualifies him for the new
duty which President Roosevelt has
devolved upon him. It Is said that this
decision ss to the supervision of the
canal commission affairs is, a serious
disappointment to the head of the com
mission. Rear Admiral Walker, who
wished a free band for the commission.
with no responsibility except to the
president directly. This . would have
meant, however, an additional burden
upon thv president which he was not
willing to assume and which there vas
no good reason why he should take
upon himself, It is said that In the
cabinet discussion of the matter tb
secretary of stat Insisted that h could
not handle the business with the smsll
force of clerks at his command and the
secretary of the navy felt that It was
out of his province. In view of the
canal project being one of engineering,
all the members of the cabinet agreed
that It was particularly adapted to the
care of the secretary of war.
Unquestionably It could be placed In
charge of no more competent man than
Secretary Taft, who has shown himself
to be a man of extraordinary executive
ability. There Is reslly nothing to be
done in Panama that at all compares
in Importance, so far as administrative
work Is concerned, with what was re
quired in the Philippines and the wis
dom and tact shown by Judge Taft In
those dlstsnt Islands, In dealing with a
wholly alien people naturally hostile to
the United States, has won the admira
tion and commendation of the civilized
world. There Is no longer any question
as to the wisdom of congress in leaving
the administration of affairs In the ter
ritory on the Isthmus of Panama ac
quired by the United States to the con
trol of the executive department of the
government and there can be no doubt
that results will abundantly Justify this
decision. President Roosevelt and Sec
retary Taft will give to the American
sons In Panama a system of government
which will be entirely American in
character and thus Introduce a new
order of things In that portion of the
continent, presenting an example in civil
administration which can hardly fail to
be productive of good effects upon the
neighboring countries.
Tfl BAT AUD OWL CAHPAIOS.
In a free country like ours every Issue
and every measure that concerns the
welfare of the people can and should be
discussed In broad daylight A political
party or a political faction that shuns
the searchlight of publicity and seeks
to accomplish its ends by star-chamber
methods Is not only un-American, but
unrepublican.
The emblem of the republtc is the
eagle and not the bat or the owl. The
man who has the courage of bis convic
tions will meet his opponents face to
face In the public arena and debate the
Issues that concern the popular welfare
through the press over his own name
and not as "Pro Bono Publico," "Tax
payer," "Straight Republican," or some
other pseudonym.
Whenever a political organization or
set of men, professing to be banded to
gether for the purification of politics,
the redress of grievances or the aboli
tion of political abuses, attempt to con
duct a campaign with password and grip
or In dark lantern gatherings they openly
confess themselves to be unable or un
willing to wage a fair and square combat
for their avowed, principles.
The dark lantern methods of conduct
ing campaigns is not only cowardly, but
dangerous to the general public. It en
ables malicious slanderers to vllllfy and
abuse men behind their backs whom
they would not dare face. It enables
demagogues and charlatans to rouse the
prejudice and passions and hatred of
men who ordinarily desire to be fair and
Just to all, by magnifying abuses and
evils and misrepresenting and impugn
ing the methods of their political oppo
nents.
The recent attempts of a faction to
conduct a bat-and-owl campaign under
pretense of purifying politics and bring
ing about great reforms will prove to be
no different from all similar efforts that
have been attempted in this city. Its
most potential weapon bag been slander
and vllllflcatlon 'behind closed doors and
the dissemination of malicious falsehoods
which no responsible or reputable man
would be willing to father.
The form of the official ballot to be
used In the coming republican county
primary, which Is in the hands of the
regular organization, has been submitted
to the leaders of the opposition and by
them pronounced eminently fair and sat
isfactory. Did anyone ever hear of such
a thing being done when the "antis" were
in control ? When it comes down to bard
pan there Is not a step In connection
with tbla primary election, which the
antls" have been railing at as ' a
"cinch," that has not been so distinctly
fair and Impartial as to command the
approval of every unbiased republican.
Every party organization must be
equipped with machinery for its man
agement, end when the machinery Is so
conducted as to give every candidate and
every faction an equal chance there can
be no Just cause of complaint

him what he thought of New York.
"That city Is all right," said Russell, "but
not for me. It's too big, and there are
too many tall tepees. I'd rather live In a
place where I know somebody and where
everybody Is somebody. Th style In som
of those New York saloons Is something to

The Mllbank Memorial baths , In East
Thirty-eighth street, which will be open to
the public a week from Saturday, will
provide the East Bide with bathing facili
ties of almost Roman luxury. Th abun
dant use of marble, tha adoption of th
most improved fixtures and the greater
provision for .privacy render them superior
to others. The flat dweller of twenty years
ago would have envied those who are thus
supplied free of charge with a convenience
that he obtained only at a high rental.
The Mllbank baths, on which 1150.000 has
been spent, will accommodate 4,800 patrons
a day. The bath in West Sixtieth street,
on which work was begun In March, has
room for about 5,000. The eagerness of the
public to utilise free baths where they are
made easy of acoess Is Indicated by th
attendance of 1,600,000 at the five Brooklyn
swimming baths during th three months
of last summer. Mrs. Anderson's gift for
the Mllbank baths Is philanthropy of an
especially desirable kind because of th
sanitary form it assumes.

Ing of the Manhattan bridge across the

A family of rats have recently made their
home In the rocks above : tb den of the

and have grown bold and fat on food stolen
from th bear. ,
A number of visitors on the ledge above
th den were throwing peanuts and other
things down to bruin. A cookie lodged on
the edge of a rock and a big' rat ran from
th rocks to get' it. Hs miscalculated his
speed and went, over the edge, falling
fifteen feet and 1 landing on the head of
Rocky, the old grtxsly, who was standing
at the entrance to th cave. '
The blow startled his bearshlp, and as the

him to the further end.

tating a way of escape. As his enemy ap
proached he seemed to have hit upon a
plan. He made another dash as If te pass

Disorder.
The annual meeting of the Bankers t'nlon
of th World, held In Crelghton hall y
terday developed Into a warm session, at
which Injunctions, policemen, th sheriff
and other minions of th law ruled part of
the time, while Dr. B. C. Spinney and his
delegation held the floor during th remain
der of the meeting.
Strong opposition to the re-election of Dr.
Spinney as president of th order developed
early In th meeting and this opposition
was led by M. T. Swsrts, supreme banker)
E. H. Packard, supreme secretary, and Dr,
Anglln, supreme physician. Spinney, how
ever, was re-elected. The opposition to Dr,
Spinney asserted that he had the meeting
packed with tenons who were not dele
rates and who were not even mnbers of
the order. They went so far as to say that
one of th prominent advocate of the con
tinuation of th Spinney administration Is
an ex-convlct and does not hold a member
ship card in the order.
The first gun was fired when M. T.
Swarts. supreme banker, took the floor to
speak against the president. A policeman
was handy and when severij members
cried that the supreme banker was out of
order the chairman of the meeting In
structed the policeman to remove the ob
streperous speaker from the hall. At this
juncture Mr. Swarts sat down and what
looked much Ilk prospective trouble blew
over.
Sheriff Power Scene.
A few minutes later Sheriff Power ap
peared upon the scene of the meeting with a
restraining order Issued from the court of
Judge Troup, which bore the names of
Dr. E. C. Spinney, A. A. Buchanan, F. H.
Drake, J. B. Flynn. O. Frank Fulton, W.
M. Oilier, J. U Mable, O. F. Fierce, F. L.
Weaver, E. C. Wolcott and Oeorge Bastedo,
all of whom were restrained from taking
further action In the election of officers
and also from voting proxies In the meet
ing. Th matter was referred to Judge A. W.
Field of Lincoln, supreme attorney of the
organisation, who advised Dr. Spinney to
vacate tha chair during th proceedings,
which he did In favor of E. E. Howard of
Edgar. The meeting then proceeded aa
If restraining orders should be considered
as very commonplace matters.
The election which followed resulted In
these being chosen. The opposition to Dr.
Spinney did not manifest Its strength, as
It did not vote:
B. C. Spinney, supreme president; A. W.
Field, Lincoln, vie president; F. H. Drake,
Lucerne, Minn., supreme secretary; Esra
Howard, Edgar, supreme banker; D.
Fsnsch, Omaha, supreme physician; Miss
M. Burdock, Omaha, supreme correspond
ent; Dr. A. M. Laird, Kansas City, supreme
guard; A. Savtll, Olen Carbon, III., supreme
sentinel.
The directors chosen were: E. H. Can
field, Luxerne, Minn.; A. A. Buchanan,
Omaha; Dr. O. B. ' Dillon, Sterling, 111.;
J. I Mable, Des Moines; E. L. Troyer,
Lincoln; E. C. Wolcott, Omaha; J. B.
Flynn, Des Motnea; O. W. Cunningham,
Sprincfleld, Mo.; J. C. Lloyd, Ballna, Kan.
Df.soamces Dr. Splasiey.
During tha proceedings Oeorge B. Franc
of York secured th floor and entered upon '
a scathing denouncement of President
Spinney. He accused th president and his
wife of taking $30,000 of th organisation's
money which did not belong to them, and
with other acts of mismanagement. The
hall presented a stormy scene during th
denunciation, almost all tha delegate
present being on their feet, som calling
for order and others declaring In stentorian
tones that the speaker was out of order,
Th Swarts faction 1 holding a meeting
to elect another set of officers, after which
It Is probable th affairs of th order will
be taken Into Court to determine which set
of officer shall rul.
After th election of Dr. Spinney he wn
presented with a beautiful floral tribute
In th shape of a wreath by his admirers
among th delegates. Th presentation
speech was mad by Oeorge Pierce of
De Moines. Dr. Bplnney replied In a
short address. Earlier In th day he bad
read a paper summing up th affairs of th
organisation during th past year.
Get Dowa to Basls.es.
While th afternoon session was more or
less acrimonious, It lacked the pyroteohnic
features that marked the opening session.
Dr. B. C. Bplnney took the chair at 4:20
and called the meeting to order.
Judge A. W. Field of Lincoln announced
that he was unable to accept ths vice pres
idency, to which he was elected In th
morning. Without further ado Edward A.
Bode of Chicago was elected to fill the va
cancy. Dr. Anglln, E. H. Packard and M. T.
Swarts, late supreme medical advisor, sec
retary and banker, respectively, were called
on for their annual reports. The supreme
medical advisor reported that his report
had been misplaced from his desk; the su
preme secretary said he did not think any
one present really cared to hear his report;
th supreme banker said he did not think
that he would render his report In view of
the fact that he had not been recognised at
the morning session. Then a motion was
carried ordering these late officers to pre
sent their reports at th earliest possible
moment. They will be heard at this morn
ing's session, so It was stated.
Dr. D. Fensch, elected supreme medical
advisor yesterday morning, cleared himself
of a charge that he was not a legal prac
titioner by showing to the convention his
certificate Issued by th Stat Board of
Health.
The convention adjourned to meet again

SALLY'S SUNSHINE SHOES.
Somervllle Journal. ,
How bright the street
When Sally's feet
Come twinLling down th walkl
The ludden light .
That dassles eight
Makes everybody talk.
However gray
Kay be the day, ,
However thick the ooxe; ' '""
The world gets gay
At the display
Of Sally's Sunshine Shoes.
Their yellow hue
May to a few
Suggest a custard pie.
But Bally thinks
(The little mlnx!
They captivate the eye.
Are they In style?
Well. I should smile!
Naught else would Sally choosa, .
And she's delight
ed with the bright
ness of her Sunshine Shoes. t
Her skirts are brief.
And In relief
The Sunshine Shoes stand out.
They're dassllng bright,
But Sally's right
In style, without a doubt.
And as her feet
Flash down the street,
She drives away the blues,
A nd when she's out
The boys all shout:
"See Sally's Sunshine Shoes!"
Every womn covet
shapely, pretty figure, tad
many of them deplore the
lost of heir irirlish forms
after marriage. The bearing
of children is often destructive
to the mother's shapeliness.
All, of this can be avoided,
