President MeKinley delivered tlie me morial speech to a reat crowd of people. Jt is probably one of tlie finest statutes in America, today. It would seem that, inasmuch, as the' Republican Party claim that the tariff! will brinjf about piod times, and that! the election was carried on that issue bv : them, that as little as the Lieinocrats ; could do at least, would be to p've the j Republicans a chance to try their pan-! acea. i The Democratic Party, the Free Silver j Party, and the People's Party all claim ' that this tanlf bill con not brintf aliout j the proposed piod times; but if they i should prevent the pasture of the bill, j and not allow the Republicans to have a! triiil the people will hold the obstruction-i lsU responsible or the continued hard times. Mr. Chapman 'the broker through whom, the tillered supir .Senators specu lated during the Fifty-third Congress will coniiueiice his service in the Wash ington jail on the lth of this month, unless be is pardontd by the President. Jt is said that a tiumlier of Senators are very anxious and are hrinpii"; mu:h iu Jiueine to bear on the President 10 induce him to pardon Mr. Chapman for his con tumacious conduct. Whether these im portunities w ill induce the President to pardon Mr. Chapman is an open question. There are no special reasons apparent to the ordinary mind why this gentleman should lie pardoned 'or his actious more than others. Senator Kyle, the blonde Popo-I)enio-Rep from South Dakota had occasion to lile a treneral answer of "not guilty" in the Senate on Tuesday. He said that he did not know what com mi tees he was going to be placed upon, because he was absent during the conference, and while he was gratified that he has been so well taken cure of by the Republicans, he denies all guilty knowledge. By way of avoidance, he also dead with much force, that the Populists in the Senate have always held that the Kepuh Jieuns should controll both the Senate and the House in harmony with the pres ent administration. He failed to state that he voted against the arrangement of the Populists two years ago, but evi dently he believes the decision is now correct, as Mr. Kyle is now in the kwim in capital letters.

When the Nebras ka Legislature appropriated $100,000 to coyer the coa of a building uud exhibit at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition it was provided that no part of the state grant could become available until the stock-holders had paid $.'00,000 into the treasury of the Exposition. Nearly $."(), 001) of this amount has been received. Subscribers are ptying promptly. A call has been issued for 2 ) per cent of subscriptions and it is expected this will net a sum nearly if not quite large enough to render th-i state appropriation available early in July. While the law providing for state commissioners will not become effective until J'jly it, Governor Holconib will within . i few days appoint the commis sioners, who must serve without pay until July. It is de.;ired that all the time possible be given the new commisiouers to aquint themselves with the details of and to uquire such knowledge, of the situation as will enable them to act promptly when the state funds become available. The Governor is operating with the Board of Managers and is en thusiastic over the fair promise of a great exposition. The interests of the stale at large will be protected. As the plans of tne supervising archi tects are developed the fact becomes manifest that in architectural beauty the Trans-Mississippi Exposition will sur pass anything of its kind excepting the World's fair. Eminent architects have lieeii selected to design the great build ings, as follows: Agricultural Cass Gilbert, St. Paul, Miuu. Art Earues & Young, St. Louis. t'lecerieity and Mm binury Dwight Perkins, Chicago. Mines and Mining J. J. Humphrey, Denver, Colorado. Mauufuct ureis and Liberal Arts S. S. Beman, CJiicugo. Hpe t:i tori ii m Fisher & Laurie, Omaha The architects have begun the plans. The subject of transportation facilities between the city and the exposition grounds is being carefully considered. The streets are level, admitting of rapid ransit and heavy trains. Three trolley lines now run to various points of access to the grounds. The run from Dodge treet is made in ten micites; fare live cents. Conditions are such that the steam railroads can within a few weeks provide tracks and adequate train service to meet the heaviest possible demands. Prospective visitors are assured of cheap and convenient means of getting to and from the grounds, a desideratum the importance of which cannot be over-estimated. Senators Thurston and Allen are en deavoring to get the consent of congress to make available immediately foil, 000 of the exposition appropriation. The re mainder, $150,000, will be payable July 1st. The work of preparing the grounds is proceeding rapidly. The fence is practi cally finished; many trees are being planted; old buildings are being dis mantled and large squads of graders are excavating for the lagoons and lakes. A scene of great activity is presented. The Board of Managers of the Woman's Department has made a formal request of Governor Holconib to appoint a woman as one of the state commission ers. President Wattles has issued formal invitations to foreign nations to partici pate in the Trans-Mississippi and Inter national Exposilon. From Exposition Press Bureau, Omaha.

The pres ident today sent the following message' to congress: "To tlie Senate and House of Repre sentatives of tlie United States: Official information from our consuls in Cuba establishes the fact that a large number of American citizens in the island are in destitution, suffering for want of food and medicines. This applies particularly j to the rural districts of the central and eastern parts. "The agricultural classes have been forced from their farms into the nearest towns where they are without work or money, "The local authorities of the several towns, however kindly disposed, are un able to relieve the needs of their own people and are altogether powerless to help our citizens. Tlie latest report of Consul General Lee estimates 000 to 800 Americans are without means of support. I have as sured him that provision would be made ut once to relieve them. 'To that end I recommend that con gress make an appropriation of not less than $50,000 to be immediately available for use und jr the direction of the secre tary of state. "It is desirable that a part of the sum which may be appropriated by congress should, in the discretion of the secretary of state, also be used for the transpor tation of American citizens .who, desir ing to return to the United States, are without means to do so.

Where the bramble tore my fret, I was weary ami worn, and ready to die, Vt lien I heard a sonx rise full and sweet; 'I lie hung that called me home.

Till 1 heard that song rise hij;h o'erhead; The song that culled tne home. 1 was lost 'neuth a stormy, starless ky. With nothing to guide me through the dark, When suddenly came the tender sound Thut made my soul sttind still and hiirk, To tlie song that culled me home. And tlie song was not an opera air. With passion xliakuii and deep with pain; And the voice was not a wonderful one, Hut the voice, like the song, wan plain Tlie Kong thut culled me home, The song was: "Nearer, my (Jod to Thee," And Its pleading rung, "Though it bo u j cross That ralscth mc," and I forgot my wunt and I pals; Forgot long years of grief an it loss. In the song that called mu home. Twits the son g I heard In my childhood's days, Th song of the twilight time, That mother snug as the night cuina down; An ancient uud holy rvmo -The song that called mc home. And I entered into my luther'H houe, And my wounds were soothed with oils : And ever us yours go by that old vnng rings Above life's dlirords uud harsh turmoils The song that culled uie home.
