JACKSONVILLE , Fla. , Nov. 37. ( Specli
Correspondence ot The Bee. ) "The deiat
craU of the south arc IMS disappointed ovt
the defeat of Bryan than they have bet
over the defeat of nuy dentocraMc candldat
since the war. " This ic what a well know
buftlncts ir.an of Atlanta told mo while
MIn thai city. And th * E""r"al sentlmer
of tn p oplc with whom 1 have come in cot
tact seem * to point in the aamo dlroctiot
Pick up almost any titmthgrn newspaper c
talk with almost any responsible uuMnca
man anfl they will say that they tmpptirte
Bryan cr.ly because ha was the regula
nominee of the party nnd offered the on ]
possible ehaure of turning foreordained d
feat Into victory and that they really neve
had strong hopes in free silver. W-bat th
Intelligent men ot the south are aiming a
vow Is to relieve themselves ot the talc
of repudiation \\hlch throwing their electors
vote * * , to Bryan has brought upon thorn en
to attract to the south a goodly portion c
the Idle cdpltal of the north and east whlc :
they know will seek profitable iuvestmen
now that McKlnley's election assures th
complete i-o-CKtabllshmcnt of business con
fldoncc. This Is to be the policy of th
southern democrat * for the immediate fu
ture , at any rule , and everywhere can b
seen strews Indicating that they have al
ready set out on this course.
* *
Take for example the pending contest fo
the United States scnatorshlp from GoorgI ;
to succeed Senator Gordon , in the outsklrl
of which I found myself when In Atlant :
last week. At the beginning of the caucu
there was -a flno array ol announced aspi
rants , four of whom , Hal T. Lewis , Evai
P. . Howell , A. S. Clny and Governor W. "V
Atkinson , had placarded the leading hole
with signs reading like this : "A. S. Clay
-Candidate for U. S. Senator. Headquarters
HooniB 114 and 11C. " Of course all of th
principal candidates belong to toe regula
democracy and supported the Bryan presl
dcntlal ticket , but strange to say , the firs
of them fotced to withdraw was Mr. Lewis
the man who in the Chicago cocventioi
snatched out of the hands of the unwillln !
Guorgo Fred Williams the doubtful hone
of nominating Bryan after he had rcall ;
nominated himself. In a word , this intimut
relationship with the late democratic presl
dentlal candidate was not enough to glv
him a special hold upon the legislature , am
hence his early retirement.
The with Ira wal of Governor Atklnsoi
from the Georgia senatorial race is equal ! ;
significant of the attitude of southern dcm
ocrats to the lost silver cause. In his vale
dlctory speech to his legislative supporter
the governor tried to convey the Imprcssioi
that ho relinquished his claim upon then
bccauHu the opposition was objecting t
him giving up a governorship to get ;
scnatorshlp. The real reason , however , wa
that under the Georgia constitution a va
cancy in the governorship would neccssltat
a special election to fill the place , and tha
the Georgia democrats are afraid they wouli
lowe the office of governor if they wen
through another campaign at the prcscn
time. Bryan's treatment of Tom Wntsoi
makes it reasonably certain that the Geor
eia democrats can look for no further ad
from the populists , and the growing strcngtl
of the republicans would render a nev
gubernatorial contest an extremely hazard
OUB undertaking for the democracy.
The feeling that now Is a good time tr
drop the silver folly seems to prevail al ;
through the south. Yesterday I picked ur
a copy of the "Savannah News , formerly 2
good Bryan paper , and 'happened upon this
pointed communication under the suggestive
headlines , "Plain Talk from a Business Mai
The People of the South Want no More o ]
the Chicago Platform : "
"ilONTICELLO. Flu. . Nov. 12. Edltoi
Horning News : As a .representative and in-
Jluontlal Journal , reflecting in an eminent
degree the best feeling and sentiment uol
only of the people of Georgia , but the entire -
tire south uswell. . I trust you will pardon
mo for a miggestlon. towlt : That U5 pel
cent of the business men of the south will
never be cajoled , persuaded or coerced again
Into the free silver craze , nor will they
stultify their consciences again to vote tot
even so brilliant a leader as Bryan , if he
must depend upon such a platform as that
_ . fulminated at Chicago.
"That the political 'hungry ormy , ' who
expected to ride into olJlce on the crest ol
a popular wave , that opposes Itself to the
ibralns and honestto say nothing of the
money of the country , iiad heat stop and
consider , and let common sense and patriot
ism have eway. While business men are
not in sympathy with cither the bolters ,
populists or republicans , and are opposed to
the sentiment of trying to build up the re
publican party in the south , or any other
party than the democratic party , yet they
would rather fall into the handsfof a foreign
foe than the heterogeneous. Ignorant mob
element which is continually howling and
cursing railroads , banks , corporations and
Individuals who make a success of their en
terprises.
"These truths should be stressed for all
they are worth , and they are worth more
than the thoughtless would imagine.
"C. T. C. "
The same Issue ot tha leading democratic
dally of southern Georgia , the Savannah
News , gives editorial expression to what It
conceives to be the southern view of JJryan'a
proposed continuation ot the silver cam
paign. U says :
"It is regrettable that Wllllra J. Bryan
Is going to Denver to open the campaign ol
1900 on November 24. The returns of the
campaign ot 1S9C are not yet all in. The
people will not take kindly to a program
that begins a new campaign before it is
Icnou-r. what is to be expected from the
campaign Just ended.
"And it seems to us that Mr. Bryan makes
a mistake in beginning his campaign In
Denver. That city is the center of the sil
ver section. There the silver tnir.e mil
lionaires havp their headquarters , and from
there was supplied the greater part of the
lund for the recent silver campaign. To
Mart the campaign of 1100 * for sliver in that
city justifies the suspicion that the recent
campaign in behalf of stiver was not for
the benefit of the people of the -whole coun
try , -but the silver mine owners.
"If the people get the idea that the chief
beneficiaries ot the free coinage of silver
are to bo those who own the silver mines
It will not bo long before the only sup
porters of free silver coinage will bo in
the silver mining states. The great ma
jority ot them have that idea now , and many
inoro ot them will have it before thu year
a oo.
"Wo do not understand why it Is that
Mr. Bryan wants to begin the campaign
of 1900 now. unless it is that he is so in
fatuated with the sound of hU own voice
and so eager to hear the applause ot a
crowd thit ho cannot turn hU attention to
any ono of the ways open to him for earn
ing an income. If he thinks ho can keep
the attention of the people diverted from
Inisluegg and directed to himself until the
time of nominating presidential candidates
again , he Is doomed to a great disappoint
ment. After noticing his first appearance
In thu movement to keep the silver ques
tion before the public the newspapers will
drop him , and the people will gradually
become indifferent to him. He will not
Jiavo such crowds us greeted him during
the campaign that has just cloned because
Sili oratory 1 not the kind that captures
the reason. It if the emotional sort and
1U effect IK not laBtlng. Mr. Bryan It
winking a mistake not only in going to Den
ver to open his campaign , but in under
taking any campaign at nil at thli time.
The people want a rest tram the silver agi
tation , and the man who refuses to let them
Iiave It U likely to ftwl thulr resentment. "
The demand for " . rest from the silver
agitation" U buluc ro-echoud throughout the
enurr Bou'.h. The Florida Cltlicn. pul

goes on to say
"So fur B the future Ii concerned , a

as will all of the rest of the country , cxcr-
pMMbly the 'sigobnish Mates' in O

recently cant for Bryan we * in no seiii
representative of a sympathy with hU si
vcr position on the part of many who cut
their ballotn for him. They voted an the

And it concludes :
"Under the sound mono } ' policy that U t
*
prevail In. this country the south willflout

fear that our present monetary ntandar
might be disturbed has been the chief cans
of the failure of capitalist * to make large

Elher monometallism upon the nation ha
been a strong motive to deter men In othc
parts of the country from coming here t

Such npprohinalon ; and fears will no louge

The late Archbishop Benson of Canter
bury and Cardinal Manning , used to meet
frequently at the Athenaeum club , and
were good friends , though Manning thought
that Benson WOE not rugged enough in his
policy. A correspondent of the archbishop ,
who was also a friend of the cardinal , re
ceived from Lambeth palace in 1SSC a
Inttor in which the Anglican primate said
of the Roman cardinal : "You are cot mis
taken in thinking that I highly regard his
person and his life and value the goodness
of Cardinal Manning's heart toward me , "
with mure to the same purpose. The cor
respondent showed the letter at the time
to Cardinal Manning , who road it with evi
dent pleasure. "And I , too , " be said , as
ho put it down , "have a great liking for
my dear sister of Canterbury. "
Bishop Curtis ( Roman Catholic ) , formerly
at Wilmington. Del. , says that he once went

changing his clothes as the boat drew near
shore and discovering that be wore scapu
lars , said , in a rather gratified tone : "Oh ,
I see that you are a Catholic , " The bishop
nodded and said indifferently : "Oh. yes ;
[ am a Catholic. " The man -continued to
watch him , nnd he gravely put on his
Roman collar. "Oh ! " said the Irishman ,
"I see you're a prlesl. " The bishop , who
had dllllculty 1n maintaining his gravity ,
answered : "Tcs , I am a priest. " The man
fixed his eyes upon him with more interest
than ever , and Bishop Curtis ther. pro
ceeded to put on his purple scarf. The
Irishman started with astonishment and
L'xclaimedr "Why , I see you ure a bishop. "
The bishop said quietly : "Yes. I am
Bishop Curtis , " and the man fell on his
lneo and asked the bishop's blessing.

ingagcments. Actuated , therefore , by a
ilgh icuse of duty , Bishop Temple declined
o go , saying it was Impossible- him to

icarer of the inewagu was thunderstruck
t these words , and said ; "My lord , nelcher

County Attorney Baldrlge ipninp a sens ;
tlon la Judge Dakar's court yesterday raon
ing which Is likely to cause a scattcrlt
among a number of people who have mad
a practice of getting witnesses out of It
reach of the oouuty prosecutor In crlmln ;
cases in order to save their friends troi
pro ecutlou.
The county attorney Informed Judge Bake
that he was prepared to prove that Lc
NeeUchouse , who has figured to a conoldei
able extent In the criminal courts of th !
county for several years , had approached
most Important wltncsc in a criminal cas
and had endeavored to induce him to Icav
the city and not give his testimony. Th
cane was one in which James Wllllami
Charles Norton and J.Stone stand charge
with robbing Thomas Thompson. The mat
witness in the case was brought to th
city from South Dakota , the commissioner
of Douglas county providing fho transports
tlou from his homo to this city , in order t
si-cure his presence. The county attorne
stated ihat on Wednesday of this week Nts
tlehouAe approached this witness and ten
tered him JGI ) and tried to induce him t
leave the city before the case came up fo
trial , saying that if he would leave , th
case cnuld be "fixed up" and the prosecutio :
dropped. The witness , however , spume
the offer and at once Informed r.ouuty At
torney Baldrige of the whole matter.
Mr. Baldrlge cald there had been numer
ous instances In which this same thing lin
been done and there had been many vrlt
nesses who had suddenly "forgot" all abou
the case in which they were to testify o
had disappeared and had gone beyond th
jurisdiction of the court , but this was th
first time where he had been able to ge
positive proof of what was done by th
meddlers. He Basked the court to authoriz
contempt proceedings or such other courg
n might be best calculated to put u stop t
the practice.
Judge Baker Instructed the county attorne ;
to at once file an information against Nestle
house and have him brought before th
court for trial.
Mr. Baldrlge said there was another cas
of much the same nature in which he hai
proof of a conspiracy to defeat the ends o
justice. He said it was in the case of Kitt ;
On ens , a notorious colored prostitute , win
stands charged with larceny from the per
son. While the women of the lower part o
the city are continually arrested for thl
crime. It Is rarely that a case Is pushed , be
cause the complaining witness , usually i
white man , for obvious reasons refuses ti
appear as a witness. In the cafe In point
however , the woman was bound over to th
district court and was released on bonds
Hans Tlmin being her ouroty. The count ;
attorney said he had positive pioof tha
Timm had told Kitty Owens that If Eb <
would give him a chattel mortgage on all o
her household goods she might leave th
city and he would ttce that the case was no
pushed. Timm afso showed the Owen ;
woman a written agreement , signed by tin
complaining witness In the cose. In whlcl
he agreed not to appear us a witners. Tlmn
said if she would give him the chattel mort
gage he would take the risk of having ti
forfeit his bond for her non-appearance-
she could leturn to the city after the matte :
had been dropped.
Judge Baker instructed the county at
torney to file an information against Tlmn
ulid bring him into court.

A very Interesting set-to between C. E
Squires of the Barber Asphalt company am
Hugh Murphy enlivened the proceedings o !
the Board of Equalization in the city ball
j-eslerday morning. Squires had filed n pro
test on the valuation that had been put or
his plant by the assessor , alleging that il
was exorbitant as compared with the valua
tion of the other plants. The Barber plain
was returned at a valuation of $3.000. whili
that of Hugh Murphy was placed at JliUO
nnd those of John Grant and the Standard
Paving company at $900 each.
All of the parties were on hand ycstcrdaj
forenoon and hostilities were immediately
opened. Squires made oome remark ar
Murphy came In the door. Murphy made no
reply , except to ostentatiously hustle after
i cuspidor with the explanatlcn that he had
; ot hold of a chunk of Trlndud asphalt and it
hail left a bad taste in his mouth. "Well.
It's a good disinfectant. " remarked Squires.
uy way of getting even.
"Well , now. how about these poor orphan *
who claim tnat they have hrtn robbed , nud
don't know anything about robbing themselves -
selves ? " said Murphy , to get down to busi
ness , and the discussion proceeded ulons
the same line for an hour. The contractors
[ airly outdid each other telling what pooi
property they had , and , according to tin-
aggregate of their figures , their combined
plants are not worth much more than un
inte-electlon promise. Murphy stated thai
lie. had a good plant at one time , but some
miscreants got into it and spoiled the ma
chinery with acids. It would have to he-
rebuilt before it could be operated , and thi
material would not be worth more than
f3,000 in the new plant. Squires went a lit-
Je better than that and averred that he
liad a little the poorest asphalt plant on
arth. It had been built fourteen years and
ts usefulness was about over. The board
iinully made everybody happy by reducing
; he Barber valuation to fl.OOO and leaving
; he others as they were returned by tht
iBHrssor. This was done on the strength
if the opinion of Assistant City Attorney
Gstelle. who decided that the board had au-
.horlty to change a valuation that was ob-
rlously unjust. In previous years the board
lus refused to reduce any assessment unless
.lie valuation on adjoining property was
alscd to onset the reduction.

The exclusive announcement in The

ppolnted candidates and their friends should
rel dissatisfied and should protest against
vbat they ac pleased to designate us an

The police announced again yestcrda :
morning that no burglaries were commlttei
anywhere In the city Friday night. It 1
known , however , that two Jobs were re
ported , but , in accordance with a pollc ;
which the authorities deem ndvautagcou
to themselves , they were not given , out fo :
publication.
Friday night u half dozen arrests of BUS
pIclouE characters and vagrants v. ere madi
by the special policemen out in citizens
clothes and by such of the detectives ai
were not engaged with Cox lu the maueuvei
by which Elliott's ghost wcs landed in thi
county Jail while his material body , accord
Ing to Cox. is now reposing in thu peni
tentiary at Lincoln.
Tv/o of these suspicious characters an
boys. One -is colored , Herman Alexander
He has given the police considerable troublt
and is now awaiting n trial In the distrlcl
court on the charge of iucnrrlglbillty. Tin
other boy is Frank Ward , whom Jailer Hnvcj
intended to adopt about a year ago because
of a pitiful ctory he told to the effect that
ho was un orphan and had wandered over
the greater part of this planet In search ol
a home. It developed that thelad's parents
lived not more than half a dozen blocke
from the police station.
These boys were arrested on suspicion be
cause they were seen coming out of the
alley in the rear of Gladstone's store on
Douglas street on the night when on at
tempt was made to rob the establishment.
The rest of the suspicious characters are
men. James Body Is one. He Is said to
have been here six years ago when burglars
were running the city , although there Is
no proof that he had any hand In the work.
Another of the lot is Perry Phillips , a
eolortd man who was a witness for Foster
Lewis lu the letter's preliminary hearing
on the charge of being an accessory to the
killing of James McGulre. It Is stated that
ho io wanted in St. Paul. Still another of
the batch , Fred J. Martin , had a valise full
of dry goods , among them being several
pieces of cloth for women's drt-sses end an
other for a man's suit. It Is thought that
these were obtained In some country store.
Still another of the number is Peter Ward ,
against whom there appears to be nothing
except his tramplsh appearance and thu fact
that be has been arruited several timed for
vagrancy.
The police are still inzlstlng that the
number of burglaries ts due to the careless
ness of merchants In leaving the doors of
their establishments unlocked ! It Is cald
that thirty places have been found BO far
this month , where either the front or back
doors were open.

The city won lu the fight with the Barber
Asphalt Paving company on the paving ot
Sherman avenue , which had been on trial
lu Judge Kcysor's court. The case was
entered 011 the records as William 1' . Ecamaii
against the Board of Public Works and
the city of Omaha , and was a case to set
aside the tax levied to pay for the repavlng
of Sherman avenue between Nicholas and
Locust streets , with asphalt. The case was
bailed on the contention of tbo plaintiff that
the owners of abutting property should have
thu right to dslgnate the exact source from
which material used for paving streets
should be taken , it being assorted that thu
Board of Public Works had given the con
tract to Hugh Murphy , who proponed to
use acphalt from one of three dcKlcuatetl
sources , whereas the petitions signed by
some of the property owners designated Uiu
no-called "pitch lake" lu the Island of
Trinidad us the source from which the ma
terial must bo taken.
The city authorities took thu position
that the source of supply was a matter of
specifications and cited tha city charter and
ordinances to show that the Board of Public
Works and the city engineer were charged
with the duty of making specification ! ) . It
wen confer ( led that the property owners
had no right to confine the supply to one
particular eourco and thereby create a
monopoly , and that the property owners

The reform in the matter of recording

vatcd by the Heal nutate exchange , Is in a
fair way to bo brought about. The finance
committee of the Board of County Commis
sioners reported favorably nt the meeting of
the board yesterday morning on the request
ot the exchange that a new method bo in
troduced in the office ot the registrar of
deeds by having printed records , conforming
o blank deeds , to bo used In the county , no
that the documents may be recorded by
simply filling in the written portions of the
instruments , thcruby saving a great deal
> f time In the transaction and resulting In
u reduction in the clerical force of the olllce.
The lluancb committee recommended that
the Heal Estate exchange adopt u form of

the hoard for approval , after which the
printed records will -be prepared and put
Into immediate use.
Chairman Klorstead of the judiciary com
mittee reported that Benjamin Trapp. who
