There Is n great deal of talk of nn extra

The report written in Omaha that Frank

hero with dissatisfaction. Democrats nnd
republicans who are conversant \\ith Morris-

chngrinod to think Hint tbo governor would
make such nn nppointmont. The report

some grounds for the report.
It is said thut World's Fnir Commissioner

Thnyer of Nebraska who abdicated yesterday

evident that the sign was n relic of yester

forty days old. It is ono of the numerous

fur as can bo learned , ho charged CO cents
each foronlargod portraits of the photographs
given to him bv unsuspectinc persons , nnd this
amount for each picluro was required to DO
paid down with the ordor. He stated thnt
his company would complete the pictures
within a few weeks , when they would be
forwarded to the owners.
A short tlrao nftonvaid the St. Paul end of
the swindling concern would send catalogues
of high-priced frames to the persons order-
inu- the partrnlts , with the request thut they
select n frame , , varyingin price from So to

that nothing further would be board from

Mr , Mutcblor's resolution directing inquiry

Garden banks of Philadelphia nnd the Mav

A resolution was Introduced directing tbo

right of the secretary of the treasury to cm-
ploy $100,000,000 of the gold reserve for cur
rent expenditures. Hufarrod.
Mr. Hatch's bill , placing the secretary of
agriculture in line of presidential succession
niter the secretary of the interior , was
passed.
The house then wont Into committee of the
whole on the military ncademp npuropsiatlou
bill. It appropriates S-IO. * > ,4tO , which is
larger than last year's uppioprlatlon , but
$ ll-i,07 leas than the uvorngo amount of the
nppropnntlons for the past three years.
Mr. Dockery of Missouri Inquired whether
the appropriation for the increased gns plant
hnd boon included in the estimates of the
war department.
Mi. Wheeler replied thnt though It had not
been included in the estimates , because at
the time the ottimatos were sent the depart
ment was doubtful whether tha plant should
bo enlarged or nn oloctrlo light substituted ,
since that time tbo seorotar.y of war bud
usKed tb.it the appropriation be made , and in
bis latter to the committee ho had referred to

lill'orts to Reduce. Appropriations.
Mr. Wheeler of Alabama briefly explained
the Dill's provisions , bearing testimony al
the same time to the efforts of the com
mittee on military ntTnirs to reduce the np-
propriations as far ns it was consistent with
the wol ! bulnc of the ncndomv. Tbo bill , ho
said , appropriated $4"iTJ5 ( ! ! , which wns
$ SS,5'45 loss than the estimates of the depart
ment. While it carried a larger appropria
tion than tbo bill of last year , it was $114-
-17 less than the nvorago amount of nppro-i.
pnntions for the academy for the past tliroo
years. The reason for the increase ever the
expenditures of the present fiscal year wns
the necessity for certain permanent improve
ments , including the enlargement of tha gas
plant , improving the sewage of the post and
furnishing the new gymnasium. The present
gas plant wns put in thirty-livo yenrs ago
nnd , owing to the deterioration of the pipes ,
was u monnce to the health of the cadets.
Kxtrimigimt Democrat .
Mr. Dockery of Missouri said thnt every
man on tbo democratic sldo Joined in a de
nunciation of the appropriations made by the
billion dollar congress. Ho did not believe
there was a democrat on the floor who en
dorsed the mighty aggregate of appropria
tions of the last congress. And yet the ilrs.t
appropriation bill to como from the demo
crats carried 04,000 moro tuan tbo similar
oill caused by the Fifty-first congress. The
question with the democrats was , whether
they intended to keep their pledge of econ
omy or approve this bill , which added $04,000
to the burdens of the taxpayers of the
country. Ho wns opposed to tha increased
appropriations , not only booauso they
were not estimated for by the
secretary of the treasury , but be
cause the condition of the treasury
did not Justify them. On the first of the
calendar year the expenditures of the gov
ernment bad exceeded the revenues more
than $ 00UOO. Ho proceeded to critlzlso the
appropriations made by the last congress ,
and ended with an appeal to tbo democrats ,
who bad been olucted on tno platform of re
form , to stnlto from tbo pending bill every
provision which was not absolutely essential
lo tue support of the ncadomy.
Confronted by u Deficiency.
Mr. Blount of Georgia said this house hod
come Into newer with a dolicioncy confront
ing it , nnd with tha declaration of the trcns-
u-y that tbora should bo no moro contribu
tions to the sinking fund.
Mr. Saycr of Texas opposed many of the
provisions of tbo bill as being extravagant
Mr. Dingley of Maine , defended the ap
propriations made by the last congress ,
characterizing tbo charges of oxtravawanco
as mere clap-trap. The Fiftieth congress had
increased the expenditures made by the
Forty-ninth congress Just as much as the
Fifty-first congress had increased the ordin
ary expenditures of Its predecessor. The
increase in appropriations was only com
mensurate with the growth of the country
ho dcplstcd glowing terms , and bis preor-
ntion in which ho ouloeizod the heroes who
had graduated from West Point , was warmly
applauded.
The committee than n o and tbo house ad

DENVEH , Colo. , Fob. 0. The eloquence nnd
logic of western democracy gushed forth in
nti ample and brilliant tide at the banquet
tonaoroil by tlio Groystono club in honor of
Samuel J. Tlldon'a birthday. Never In the
history of Colorado was there n moro re
splendent scene than that wltucsscd bv the
troincndous crowd nt the Broadway theater.
The magnificent Interior of the thcntor was
one drizzling vistn of electric lights and wav
ing palm loaves. From the balconies the
view of the beautifully appointed tables was
one to bo remembered.
After 0 o'clock the boxes and balconies
began to 1111 rapidly with parties In full
evening dresB , every available scat being
occupied before the opening address by
President McIClnloy.
At the head of the table sat the president
of the Groystono club , with Governor Holes
and ox-Governor Crlttcmlon In the places of
honor upon either hand ; then ox-Governor
Alvn Adams of Colorado. Hon. D. O1 Bryan
of Now Mexico , Hon. David Obermoyor of
Kansas , Hon. Charles A. Chirk of lown ,
Hon. Robert J. Smith , ox-president of the
Iroquols club , Chicago ; Hon. George \V.
Baxter , ox-governor of Wyoming ; Hon.
Caldwell Yoatuan of Colorado and ox-Gov-
ornor J. B. Grant of Colorado.
President McKlnloy delivered the address
of welcome for the Groystono club. Ho
spoilo In part as follows :
Welcomed by I'resldcnt McICIiiley.
"Tho conception of this annual dinner
upon the plan of tonight grow out of u belief
that the Interests ol the democrats of these
western suites nro largely identical with
those relations of citizens ofotherstatcs to the
nation at largo and other countries , affecting
tholr urosporlty , welfare and political inter
ests ; that the same political forces and Ideas ,
which hnvo so steadily mid Irresistibly cut
down the tremendous republican majorities
in Iowa and Nebraska are , and ought to bo ,
at work ceaselessly in alt those western
states and territories ; that the Interchange
of opinion and views , not only this year , but
In the following years , should be to our mu
tual advantage , and lurthermore , that , in
some degree at least , the attention of the
east should bo called to the fact
that the west has not built great
cities , peopled now states ana ad
vanced in all mateilnl ways with
such wondei ful strides , without at the same
time producing at least some great men , fully
equipped and capable in every WAV to direct
the affairs of government quite as well as
their eastern brethren , and hereafter it must
not bo alone what says the money-lending ,
commercial , manufacturing mid sometimes
politically scheming Now York about it. "
He was frequently Interrupted by ap
plause.
Hon. Alva Adams , ex-governor of Colorado
rado , followed with a lew remarks in answer
to the toast , "The West in Politics. "
Hon. J. t ) . O'Brynn pf .uNow Mexico won
tne hearts of the fair sex by hl wi\ty reply
to the toast , "Tho Ladies. "
The event of tne ovonlng was the roplv to
"Tbo Democracy in 1892 , " by Hon. Ho'race
Boles , governor of Iowa. When Governor
Boies arose to speak ho was greeted with
deafening cheers , and it was some time be
fore ho could proceed. Ho spoke as follows :
"Ueinoaruey In 181)3. "

No doctrine was over moro thoiouchly 'm-
bedded In tlio creed of a political ortranl/a-
tlon than that asserted by modern republican
ism that the powers of this government may
bo used to promote the pecuniary Inteiests nf
dUtlnct clashes of olllrons , and no result was
ever merci certain than that which follows.
If th'H can bo done , that the bnmo powers
may be used to retard llko Interests of other
classes ,
Three years ag" a democratic president
arousuil tlio country by his declaration that
"unnecessary taxation Is unjust taxation"
and by that declaration Ineoi unrated Into the
political creed of his followers , as o.iiior the
cardinal principles , to remain I hope forever ,
the doctrine that the rightful power of thl. !
to\eminent liny assessments , dlroct or In

It does , however , Imply that Ihn purpose of

This Is the supreme question of the hour.
