A MOMSTKUl!) FAKCK.
I The senatorial investigation, with
ftference to bribery of senators by the
ftizar trust, turned out to be a mons
trous farce, just as was expected. Mot
jtaly did the investigating committee
exonerate me senators, uul it went
rfartber and exonerated the trust. Had
the matter been nanaiea oy tne trust
itself the verdict could scarcely have
been more favorable to it and its
Sunions in the senate. The most
amusing thing of all is the report of
the republican portion of the commit
tee. This report exculpates the ac-
fbsed, says there is nothing substau-
al in the chance, but, in referring to
e sugar tariff of the senate bill, the
publican committee expresses the
Din ion that tbe tariff on refined
Sugars was dictated by the trust. Ab
fee tariff on refined sugar in the senate
fill is about 40 per cent lower than the
ilcKinley tariff this charge would ap
pear to be unfounded if not ridiculous

testimony was adduced iupeaching

Senator Quay was clearly incriminat

ta sugar stock at tbe time the sugar
Schedule was under discussion, and
Vhen his rote would directly influence

Pwould Ben a tors vote, then, who held

article that enters into general con
'gumption simply to increase the value
i of collateral held by themselves. There

MR. BliVAK tOK l t. StNATOU.
In response to a request of the of
ficial? of the democratic flee coinage
league of Nebraska, .Congressman
Brjau has written a public letter an
nounciug himself a candidate for
United States senator, submitting his
cause to the next legislature whose
election is to decide the matter. As
usual with Mr. Bryan's productions, it
is a strong document, setting out
clearly the doctrines which he esteems
essential to the public well-being, and
upon which he expects to make his
canvass before the people which he
promises to make interesting, as it
doubtless will be picturesque and ex
citing. Since the time Mr. Bryan made
the campaign for J.Sterling Morton
and for Mr. Cleveland in 18&8 his star
has been in the ascendant, and after
two most successful terms in congress,
it seems befitting that the "young man
eloquent" should strive to make a step
higher in the line of work for which he
has shown such special fitness. It is
no flattery to say that no man has ap
peared in the halls of congress in the
present generation who has won greater
or more enduring fame at so young an
acre as Mr. Bnan. Like a brilliant
meteor flashing across the sky, his first
great Bpeech in congiess on the tariff
startled and electrified the country.
The speech was not only able as a
literary production and eloquently de
livered, but it has stood the test of
time and criticism as the product of
studious and statesmanlike thought
and analytic ability. But great as was
the fame which that great effort gave
him, his subsequent efforts have shown
that to have been but the beginning of
a series of most wonderfully brilliant
and powerful speeches. His second
great speech that delivered on the
silver question last August is now ac
knowledged to be tbe strongest argu
ment put forth in behalf of the white
metal in that long and wonderful de
bate, and won new praises and justly
added to the enduring character of his
fame as a forensic debater. Several
speeches made during the piesent ses
sionincluding another powerful one
on the tariff, one on t he income tax, one
on the coining of the seigniorage aiid
another entitled "Money" have, if
possible, added to his reputation in the
field of argumentative oratory. But it
is not to oratorv alone that Mr. Bryan
owes tiis acknowledge u eminence
among the statesmen of today. His
claim to the good opinion of his felio
citizens m based as weil upon the purity
of his character, the honesty of his
purpose and the fact that he stands up
as the peculiar champion of the rights
and the interests of the common peo
ple. A democrat more than in name,
he believes in practicing his democracy
in hia every-day life, as well as in the
profession of principles, and it is be
cause the people see that he carries out
tbe ideas he expresses that he has won
an enduring place in their affectionate
confidence. And, wbile he has made
several great speeches when the occa
sion warranted, he has attended to the
less conspicuous but scarcely less im
portant work of watching legisl ition,
and on more than one occasiou has he,
almost single-handed, prevented the
consummation of grabs from the
treasury at the rate of 300,000 at a
sing e grab. Such a man, one who hai
added luster to the good name of hi?
state, and throughout the land, will,
unless we greatly mistake the temper
of tbe people, attract such a following
that older politicians will soon be open
ing their astonished eyes in wonder and
amazement. With three successful
campaigns at his back to give him con
fidence and add to the boldness of his
methods. Tub JiU'hsal is of the
opinion that Mr. Bryan can make it ex
ceedingly interesting for any man who
may have the temerity to enter the
race for the senate against him. It
also hopes that tbe good fortune which
has thus far marked every effort in his
public life may continue to be his.
The address recently issued by tbe
executive committee of the democratic
free coinage league of Nebraska was
both timely and to the point. It is
proper that the democrats should "take
the bull by the horns" and show their
"faith by their works,'' by waking up
and going to work. Because the demo
crats are in the minority or rather
because they have been in a minority
it is no reason why they should not
make an aggressive fight to wrest the
state from the hands of 'their republi
can adversaries. It is a well recog
nized fact that the republican party
bas only one leg to stand on in the
coming fight. The Mckinley law, upon
which it risked its all in the campaign
of !892, has turned out a most miser
able failure to bring prosperity to tbe
people. In the battle over the silver
question last year its representatives
in congress, almost to a man, fell into
line to the support of President Cleve
land and the gold barons of Wall street,
and but for their aid the Sherman law
would still be on tbe statute book.
Driven to the wall in the tariff debate
in the house its champions were com -J
pel led to admit that tbe only hope the
(or king man had of maintaining
VLgei aDlieT a protective- tariff was in
1 f ability to force employer to accede
f his demands through the medium of
! labor unions and the threat of the
strike; yet it is well known the country
over that both its press and its orators
have always been arrayed against
labor in every strike it bas ever inaugurated-
With these and other
patent facts against that party there is
no good reason why it should not be
utterly routed from its strongholds in
tlrs state this fall if the democracy
only awakens to a sense of its duty and
goes in bravely to tight the people's
: battle.
SENATE ItKInT OX SI ICIDK.
Chicago Tiines.
President Cleveland is very much in
ceused against Senators Jones, Harris,
and Vest for the aid they have given
Senator Gorman in the latter's cam
paign against the white house. It is
said in Washington that the president is
ready to go to almost any length to be
revenged upon the men in his own
party who have betrayed it and him in
the senate. In this fight Mr. Cleve
land may once more secure the sym
pathy of a majority of his
countrymen. He might go
- 11
fr Z
iuriner
and spill the vials of his? wrath upon
the senate as a w hole, and the nation
would look en with Christian fortitude.
, If, as seems probable, the senate suc
ceeds in fastening upon the nation a
tariff law which nobody but a half
dozen trusts wants and upon the dem
ocratic party a load which may well
Dut victorv bevond its reach a more i
v w
popular plank thau "Abolish the sen
ate!" could not be imagined for the
platform of ISitG.
It is such a long while since anyone
said a good word for the senate, or of
any of its worke, that the public teems
to have fallen into the habit of expect
ing nothing but evil from it. Iu the
west and southwest especially has the
senate fallen to tbe lowest depths or
disrepute. Of late the senate's record
has contained nothing w hich the com
mon people might regard with satis
faction. Whenever opportunity has
offered these hide-bound servitors of
monopoly and money have Ehown their
contempt and hatred for the people.
Witness their scandalous haste to in
dorse the illegal enlistment of federal
troops in the seivice of the railroad
corporations. Now through a corrupt
alliance between the republican
minority and n sirall band of demo
cratic hirelings they are thwarting the
people's desire for honest and thorough
tariff reform. If you will not have our
mongrel trust-be-gotten bill, reeking
with bribery and shameless betrayal
of personal and public honor, the mas
ters of the senate are saying to the
house right now, you shall have none.
The. voice of the people through the
directly elected representatives in con
gress is scoffed at and spat upon by a
set of robbers who represent in a
righteous sense no state in the union.
If ever a body of legislators courted
destruction the senate has for the last
year. They have made many doubt the
value of the institution they have de
filed and degraded.
WHAT IT WOl'LU MEAN.
Should Senators Smith, Iirice and
Gorman succeed in defeating the tariff
reform bill during the present session
of congress it would meat a continu
ance of the suspense and uncertainty
under which business must be con
ducted for from six months to two
years, or until a satisfactory tariff bill
is passed, says the .Haiti more Sun.
The McKinley act would be kept in
force, but its value to the tariff lords
would be vastly diminished by the
prospect of new tariff legislation as
soon as the democrats in the senate
succeeded in pulling their majority to
eether. 1
The hiis has only to stand firm.
If the senate refuses to act an adjourn
ment may be had iu order that mem
bers of the house may go to their con
stituencies for the fall elections with
their tariff war cry still potent. By
that time public opinion will have had
its effect, perhaps, upon tbe half dozen
democratic senators who are now
thwarting the democratic party's will,
and the house bill may be passed as
early as January 1, 1895.
All this loss of time, protracted busi
ness depression and public anxiety
generally might be avoided but for
three or four democratic obstructives.
Their course is having its effect. It
has excited the wrath of the people
everywhere. The "compromise" sen
ators are generating a cyclone of in
dignation that may at no distant day
destroy wholly the tariff rates on many
other things besides sugar, coal and
iron ore, for which they are now so
stupidly contending.
It is interesting to note that in Colo
rado a faction of the democratic party
is arranging to fuse with the republi
cans in order to defeat the populists.
In the Btate of Washington a like com
bination is under way. Such incidents
as this only prove that there is room
for only one rich man's party in this
country, and that if the people calling
themselves democrats stand for gold
monometallism, the monopoly of money
by national banks, corporate aggrand
izement, and the extension of the
power of the exttcutive might just as
well go over to the republican party
how.
I The public pa pers and speeches of
thg lion. TY.J. Jiryan of Nebraska,
says the Chicago Times, have been col
lected and published in a neat volume
by F. Sch wind of Lincoln, Neb. The
publication is a timely one, coming as
it does when Mr. Hrynn is making so
gallant an attempt to cement tbe
liberal elements of his state into a
harmonious whole and lead them on to
victory. Ilis speeches on such vital
problems of the day as the free silver
question and the tariff are invaluable
documents, while his addresses on more
abstract themes breathe the spirit of
the truest patriotism and the widest
liberality. The book is an excellent
campaign document for progressive
democracy.
