AT JACKSONIAN CLUB BANQUET William O. Gilbert of Omaha,-In re fpnoe to the toast, "The Jacksonian Club," eald: Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen: The &th of January, with its remarkable vic tory over the KngllBh by the American troops under General Jackson, marked the point of certainty In the upward career of our illustrious patron saint. Selecting- this aa the date for the hold ing of Its annual banquet, the Jack sonian club ha found that for It. too, the Sth of January holds the talisman of fate. Jt Is the great day when It gathers more strength and enthusiasm and wisdom than upon any other day of the year; this fortunate day, when Its members gather from all section of the state, and our guests from the four quarters of the nation. not so much for pleasure and feasting, as, under felicitous conditions, to enter Into that peculiar contact with each other where by each gives strength to his neighbor and by that very giving immeasurably Increases his own. It is in this asso ciation with his fellows that man finds his mental, moral and spiritual salva tion from Immediate retrogression and ultimate decay. Like as the giant of mythology drew strength from contact with the earth, so the man giant of reality draws his strength from his con tact with his fellow men. The benefits which have thus come to this club and flown from this club through thes annual gatherings are not to be meas ured. Our guests upon these occasions are always men high In the councils of the party and the respect of the na tion. We have been delighted by thelt oratory, Inspired by their wisdom and enriched by their counsel, and they have have departed for their further labors in behalf of the people, carrying with them that added enthusiasm which an active, energetic band of democrats can give, and leaving behind them a lesson and an Inspiration reaching to every corner or this commonwealth. Aided by these Influence a strong or ganization, a strict discipline and a high character of membership, the Jacksonian club, in less than a decade, has covered the distance from small membership and insignificant Influence to a membership a thousand strong, In cluded In which Is nearly every demo crat in Nebraska of local or general prominence In the councils of the par ty. With Its membership thus diversi fied as to territory and unified as to Its course of duty, It Ih an organization not in name only, but In fact as well. Its arteries of Influence reach to the con fines of our state, carrying the pure democratic blood to every party caucus and primary, to every municipal, county and state convention and to the elec tions which succeed, them. I gay with pride, and yet with that modesty which befits the statement of an uncontro vertible fact, that no policy for the conduct of the party In Nebraska Is formulated which is not largely domi nated by Jacksonlans; no elections car ried wherein the force of Jacksonlans Is not all-important. But 1 say with greater pride that all this force and potency manifested in every depart ment of political activity Is not that of the club as an entirety, but Is ratner that of Its individual member, strength ened and armored for the battle by the composite wisdom of a thousand men and the Impetus of enthusiasm natur ally Mowing from a large organized body of men Intent upon one object and earnest In Its pursuit. No, the power of thlB club is not that of arbitrary t zarshlp und ga grule. H Is democratic In name and democratic In fact. It rec ognizes that no man or clique of men has or will ever exclusively appropriate the entire political wisdom of the ages; that outside Its pale there may be those better fitted to guide the desti nies of this state, and. firm In it be lief that a government of the people should be by the people; that demo cratic Institutions can only be perpet uated by allowing the fullest Individ ual liberty and making Impossible an autocratic sway. It has studiously and tenaijously avoided all domination and dictation as a club, and has Incorpor ated Into Us constitution a clause pro hibiting the club from Indorsing a can didate for nomination, appointment or election. Its candidates are th ecatn dldates of the party, which It at all times holds higher than itself, and to serve which it recognizes aa lt sole reason for existence. This comparative relationship eaist Ing between the club and the party ex tends to the relationship existing be tween the club and Its members. Its fundamental principles require that the member" shall be subservient to the club, and not the club to it members. Its cardinal doctrine is an Implicit con fidence in the good sense and sound Judgment o fthe people, and an abldine, conviction that the welfare of the na tion and the perpetuity of. its Institu tion can be best assured through an ad ministrate nof its affairs by the demo cratic party. It Is an organization which believes that the wisdom of a few men Is Inferior to the wisdom of a large party of men, which believes that the political sagacity of one man Is outweighed by the concurrent Judg ment of a large body of men; which be lieves that a majority of the people should dictate the political policy of the country; that a majority of the party should select the men and dictate the measures of the parly; that the members of the club, being members of the party, should be guided by the dic tates of the party, and that the one thing which unfits one for membership Is the refusal to be thus guided. This must not be confused with a democratic club merely, wherein all are welcome who subscribe to the greater part of the confession of faith. It cri terion for membership is more rigid than this. It asks to become it mem IIOMK PATRONAGE MOVEMKNT. Omaha. Neb. (Special.) What is pro nounced the best meeting of local man ufacturers held In Omaha for years oc curred at the Commercial club last week. It was attended by about forty representatives of local manufacturing concerns, constituting the Home Pat ronage Bureau of the Commercial club. At the meeting arrangements were per fected for the first of a series of en tertainments Intended to acquaint Omaha people with the virtues of the products of Omaha factories and en; courage the consumption of them here at home as a means of Increasing the output, enlarging the local industrial field and Increasing the wealth and pop ulation of the city. On the reports of committees It wn decided that the first entertainment shall comprise an Exhibit of Omaha products In the rooms of the Com mercial club lasting for ten days. It will open at 7 o'clock on the evening of Kebrunry 15 with a reception by the manufacturers to the retail merchants of the city and Houth Omaha, at which each member of the Home Patronage Bureau will be a member of the enter tainment committee. Luncheon will be served and accompanying refreshments. Owing to thejlmltatlon Imposed by the gilbert bers only those whose political Ideas are matured, certain and fixed. It is a real hardshell Baptist outfit. It Is not a school of political economy, where opposing principles of government are weighed. It is not a political debating society, where the merits of the can didates of the opposing parties are con sidered. It is more like a theological seminary, where established doctrines are taught, a departure from which subjects the teacher to denominational ostracism. Its creed is fixed. The de cree of the party is ita law, support of Its candidates Its duty and devotion to its policy its life. It is not an organiza tion wherein a mugwump will find con. genial surroundings or the slightest duty to perform; not an organization wherein the floating voter will receive the slightest welcome; not an organiza tion wherein the dispenser of corpora tion corruption funds will find a com fortable chair; not an organization wherein the man In politics for a living will find a fruitful field for his labors; not an organization wherein the man with an ax to grind will find anyone to turn the stone; not an orgalzation wherein the half-hearted supporter of the ticket will find companions for pleasant converse; not an organization wherein the active supporter of a fa vorite candidate opposed to the candi dates of the party can with honesty or decency continue his membership. xet for all these creeds and doctrines the club seeks not to put limitations upon the personal liberties and privi leges of the individuals composing it or to coerce them Into action not conson ant with their intelligence and their consciences. It makes but one require ment, namely, that a member whose idea of his duty shall compel him to stand against the nominees of the par ty, shall have the discernment to see that he can no longer conslstenly con tinue to be a member of the club and the honesty and courtesy to tender his res'ratlofi! tj-lctly honorable conduct in this particular mignt cause tne oc casional loss of a member. Be It so. We will speed the parting as Joyfully as we will welcome the the coming. Better 900 members aye, better 100 and harmony than 1,000 and discord. Unfortunately cases have arisen in the past where members failed of dis cernment in this particular, and the club. In the exercise of its kindly guar dianship over the good name and repu tation of Its members, and to make sure that these members might not ap pear inconsistent and dishonorable in the eyes of the community, has ren dered them the kindly service of pro claiming to the world that they were no longer members of the club, expung ed their names from the membership roll and absolved them from farther fealty. The immediate harmony and internal peace following this action, and the Increased usefulness of the club made possible thereby, has long since made manifest the wisdom of the course pursued. Instead of disruption and desuetude, came unification and activity; Instead of retrogression came growth, until now this club is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific and Its sphere of influence Is no longer bounded by the confines of our stale, but in stead by those of the nation. I know not how- others may feel, but as for myself I adopt those immortal words of one of our earliest patriots and say, "I have but one lamp by which my fees are guided, and that is the lamp of experience; I have no way of Judging of the future but by the padt;" and so to them I would add the Injunction of holy writ. "If thy right eye offend thee, pluck It out and cast It from thee; for it Is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish and not that thy whole body should be cast Into hell." As the Jacksonian club has been In the past so will It be In the future. Its policy Is fixe dand unalterable. All who are In sympathy with its purposes the club will gladly welcome Into its membership, and none more Joyfully and sincerely than those whose oppo sition to the former policy of the party has compelled their separation there from than over ninety and nine Just men who need no repentance. And it would seem that at this time every man whose breast harbors a love for the old. democratic party, and the com mon people of whom It Is the sole champion and defender, must see that the perpetuity of our Institutions Is of more Importance than any theory of finance, and that It Is the very life and continued existence of democratic gov ernment which Is now at stake. Whatever others may be, the Jack sonian club will be found fighting with the party for the continuance of demo cratic government, the liberty of Its people and the peace of mankind, and against Imperialistic aristocracy, the slavery of the oppressed, the aggres sion of trusts and monopolies and gov ernment by the army and by Injunction. It feels equal to the part It has to per form In the contest. If the banks have In the chair of the secretary of the treasury another Nicholas Blddle, we have in the ranks of our club another Andrew Jackson (pointing to Colonel Bryan); If from the corner store of the temple of our liberties the republican party would chisel away the Declara tion of Independence to erect thereon a castle of Kuropean form, this dub has an Andrew Jackson who. with the peo ple at his buck whom gold can neither buy nor awe. will resist this rape of the nation as earnestly, vigorously and successfully aa did Andrew Jackson of old resist the rape of South Carolina. In Chicago, 111., schools have adopted the penny-savings system. The chil dren In these institutions saved $11,214 during the month of October. size of the quarters the women will not be Invited that evening. All legitimate retail dealers of Omaha and Houth Omaha will be Invited and will be ask ed to advise the committee In advance of their Intention to attend. The exhibits will remain In place for ten days and the public will be Invited to Inspect them. Arrangements are be ing made with the Board of K-ducatlon for the setting aside of special after noon for the different grades to attend the exhibit, and prizes will be offered for the best essays by pupils on the displays and home patronage. It was also decided to give space to an exhibit by the manual training department of the public schools to Interest the chil dren In the project. The ministers will be Invited to lend their encouragement to the entertainment and Its purposes. It was stated at the meeting that the bureau has reached a membership of sixty, and that probably fifty exhibits will be made. The promotion committee reported that It Is looking up the bill posting ordinance with a view to limiting the devotion of so much space to the ad vertisement of foreign goods, which should be devoted to home products, and an amendment to the ordinance, will doubtless be proposed. NEW YORK A HEATHEN CITY. Has 1,300,000 Persons Wlthou' Any Hellgious Affiliation. New York, N. Y. (Special.) Misi Helen F. Clark of the Evangel band addressing the Methodist preachers meeting of this city on the religiout condition of New York, said that as a heathen city New York can beat Tokio that there are 1.300.000 persons without any religious affiliation at all, which number is 100.000 more than the popu lation of Toklo, the second largesi heathen city in the world. Among othei figures which Miss Clark used.wert these: "On Manhattan Island there are nearly 5,500 people to every Protestant church. Only about 7 per cent of thf population are members of Protestanl churches, and that Is a loss of about 1 per cent since the census of 1890. There has not been an actual loss in numbers, but the difference in per centage Is due to the steady stream of foreigners 3,000 a week who keep rushing in. Only 19 per cent of oui population in Manhattan had even one parent born in this coutry. "In Greater New York there art 1,300,000 persons without any religiout affiliations at all. In making thes calculations I exclude those who have affiliated with any religious body, Pro testant, Catholic, Jewish, Buddhist or what not. Thus down in our neighbor hood there are 50,000 Italians, but the Catholics do not claim to have more than 5,000 of them in their churches. In one of the former wards In Brooklyn there is a population of 25,000 and not a single Protestant church or mission. In our east side Hebrew quarter, in a population of more than 200,000, only nine-tenths of 1 per cent are members of Protestant churches. In one lower east side ward the arrests made In a year are one-third as many as the number of people there. "In the Dakotas the Protestant church membership is IS per cent of the population; in Texas it is 29, and in Houth Carolina, the highest in the country, the percentage Is only 43. There are more non-Christians in New York City than in the entire western half of the country." STRIKE OF THE ROD MILL MEN. Preparations Made For Tronble at Ohio Mills. Cleveland, O. (Special.) Prepara tions for trouble are being made at the branch mills of the American Steel and Wire company. Today cots and sup plies were taken Into the mill. One of the officials of the Rod Mill Workers' union received word that another mill of the company at Newcastle, Pa., had been closed by reason of the strike, and that one at Rankin, Pa., would probably be closed tomorrow. IN PENNSYLVANIA PLANTS. L-iitahiiT-ir P Soecln 1.1 The strike of the rod mill workers at Beaver Falls and Braddock Is on in full force. At Beaver Falls only three men reported for work, and the rod mill could not be operated. The officials have asked for police protection, but there has been no violence. The plant at Rankin, however, is in full operation. The works at New castle and in South Pittsburg have been closed down for some time for repairs. INDIANA WORKERS STRIKE. Anderson. Ind. (Special.) The rod mill of the American Steel and Wire company in Anderson will be closed indefinitely. At a meeting of the rod men they decided to strike. There 1b a difference of less than 1 per cent in fho warp nnestion involved, but the men go out In sympathy with strikers In mills locateu eisewneie in tne country. BRINGING HOME SOLDIER DEAD. Transports Leave Cuba and Luzon With Coffins Aboard, Washington, D. C (Special.) Quar termaster General Ludington is in formed that the transport McCiellan has left Santiago with the remains of seventy-five soldiers who died last spring from yellow fever and 375 metal lic caskets, bound for New York. All of the unclaimed dead will be brought to Washington and Interred in the national cemetery at Arlington, by the side of other victims of the Spanish war In Cuba. The empty caskets are destined eventually for Manila, where they will be used for bringing home the bodies of soldiers who lost their lives In the Philippines. The transport City of Peliln has al ready left Mwni!a for San Francisco with the bodies of 156 soldiers and others who died in the Philippines. The war department is as yet uninformed as to what bodies are on the vessel, but it expects to receive a complete and accurate list on the arrival of the ves sel at San Francisco. All of those bodies not claimed by relatives or friends for private inter ment will be burled in the national cemetery at the Presidio of San Fran cisco. mm- Snow Files a Disclaimer. Washington, D. C (Specials-Senator Rawlins today presented to the senate a brief memorial from President Lorenzo Snow of the Mormon church on the question of polygamy. Mr. Snow says he Is persuaded that there is much misunderstanding upon this question. He says that, in accordance with the manifesto of President Woodruff of 1X90, "the church has positively aban doned the practice of polygamy or the solemnization of plural marriages In this state (Utah) and every other state, nsd that no member or officer thereof has any authority whatever to perform a plural marriage or enter Into such a relation. "Nor," he continues, "does the church ndvlse or encourage unlawful cohabita tion on the part of any of Its members. If, therefore, any member disobeys the law, either as to polygamy or unlawful cohabitation, he must bear his own burden; or, In-other words, be answer able to the tribunals of the land for his action pertaining thereto."

His spine hurt h:m so badly that he had no use of his limbs at all, and si couldi not walk. I had heard of Prnf. Kharas, but had no faith In his work, but knowing there was no other chance,, as other physicians said they could do nothing for my boy, 1 went to see him. He told me he would cure Roy by what te called the Absent Method, and that I was to go home and leave the matter all to him. Although Roy had been constantly growing worse, he began to Improve, und in less than two weeks walked to Prof. Kharas' office without help. He Is now perfectly well, and was only treated by the Absent Mental Treatment. I now be lieve Prof. Kharas can cure any disease under the sun, and a great many without ever seeing the patient, as he has cured my boy. Respectfully, "MRS. M. J. ETTI..EMAN."
