Tho Walters' union of Omaha yesterday
canted tho arrest of W. S. Hnlduff, pro
prietor of tho cafo at Mannwa park, nnd
two of his waiters on tho charge of soiling
Intoxicating liquor contrary to the law. A
wnrrant was also Issued for the arrest of n
third waiter named Tracy, but he took fright
when tho otllcors appeared upon the scene
and without waiting to get his coat or hat
lied and thus avoided arrest. Halduff fur
nished ball for himself and waiters In tho
sum of $50 each and the case will eomo up
for hearing Monday, August 27.
Tho warrants wero Issued from tho court
of Justlco Vlen, tho Information being filed
by H. C. Dodd, representing tho Walters'
union of Omaha, and a man named Bow.

guto of the union.
All day long tho olllccrs or the motor
company expected to be served with the

to enjoin the sale of liquor at Manawa park,
but nothing in this line materialized. Doth
Judge Smith of tho district court and Judgo
Aylosworth of tho superior court stated that
no application had been made for any tem
porary writ of Injunction. Tho belief Is
that tho Walters' union has abandoned the
plan of proceeding In the district court nnd
will confine Its operations against Haldufr
to tho local Justice courts.

would know It was a presidential year
Everybody seems to have money and every
thing Is prosperous. What effect this will
havo on tho election Is of course prob
lematlcal. I don't know much about the
game of politics, but It looks to mo like a
strong bet that McKlnley will carry nearly
everything.
"Thl3 talk about the downtrodden trav
eling man and all of this oppression nnd
trust business Is tommyrot. There are
mure men on the road today than there
have been at any time since I have been
traveling and I've got a few straggling
gray hairs In the business, too. Tho trav
eling man Is doing all right and needs no
sympathy. As long as business conditions
are ns they are at this time wo'll ho in tho
'doing well enough, thank you,' class, and I
don't think many of the boys aro going to
lend any asalstanco toward a change, which
at tho best Is mighty uncertain."
"Do I know any traveling men who will
vote for Hryan? Well, I should say not
Traveling men know better. They know n
gcod thing when they'vo got It and they're
done chasing a wlll-o'-tho-wlsp like freo
sliver." tald M. D. Lovell, who travels In
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and
Wisconsin for a .Milwaukee hardwnro house,
"1 havo heard all about this howl how the
traveling men had all been thrown out o.
business by the trusts and would get even
with the republicans by voting for Hryan
but It la a fact that 1 do not know a klnglr
traveler who expects to vote for Uryan. They
know better than to want a change when
conditions are better than they ever were
before,
"And then the Intelligent voters know
that the republicans are not responsible
for trusts nnd have an anti-trust plank In
their platform which Is ns strong as that
In tho democratic platform, llryan couldn't
do nny more with trusts than McKlnlcy can
nnd cannot hope to gain any votes on that
Issue. Furthermore, this agitation about
trusts throwing traveling men out of em
ployment Is nothing but political capital.
It nil originated when a few men were laid
off by tho tobacco trust. Since then I have
asked a number of tobacco salesmen about
tho effect of tho trust and they all say that
they havo not felt the effects of the trust
In tho least. It Is true that a few of the
younger men wero let out when the com
blnatlon was effected, but there was no
wholesale dlschnrgo of men and the Amer
ican Tobacco company has practically as
many men on tho road today as were em
ployed beforo the combination was brought
about.
"My trade has been better this year than
ever before. Crops oro excellent In nil the
states I have traveled through this season.
All tho laboring men are employed at good
wages. Peoplo have monoy nnd they arc
paying their debts nnd buying moro freely
thnn ever before. Tho sound financial policy
of tho McKlnley administration has brought
about n feeling of confidence. Tho gold
standard Is what peoplo want and they will
never elect n silver man who Is wearing
the mask of nntl-lmperlallsm nnd trying to
avoid tho chief Issue.
"Presidential year Is ordinarily n very dull
ono with wholesalers on account of tho un
fottled condition brought about by tho ap
proaching election. It was so four years
ago, hut things aro different now. Mer
chants do not seem to feel that Hrynn has
nny chance of election and feel confident
that the McKlnley policy will secure a con
tinuation of the genernl prosperity.
A story has been going tho rounds of
tho democratic press that fifty traveling men
happened upon tho samo train and that an
Inventory proved that forty-eight of the men
wero Hrynnltcs. That story is mado to
order. I havo been traveling eon.ililemVitv
lately nnd have not found a slnglo llryan
and Stevenson man nmong all tho commcr
clal men I havo met. If they aro so thick
It Is likely that I would happen upon some
of them."
H. D. Curtis, who sells plumbers' sup

SOME HISTORY FOR THE BOYS
Wluit tlu nemoei'ii t Ic Pnrly Hnn Done
fur the People nf Them
1'iiltcil Mimes.
PAPILLION. Neb., Aug. IS. To the Kdltor
of Tho Bee: I would llko to gain tho at
tention of the young voters of Nebraska to
somo facts of history thnt have como di
rectly under my own observation. Every
statoment 1 shall mako Is verified by the
History of tho last half century. It is en
graven thero as It were on the eternal rocks,
to stand forever.
Jnmes Buchanan's administration, crm
menclng March I, 1857, had ono of the
grandest opportunities of the nges to achieve
a great success, and tho president should
have been able to gain a fame and a name
that would shlno llko nn eternal light In
our country's history. Wo cite the fact that
his administration had been preceded by a
series of events to bring prosperity biicu ob
this country had never before1 seen. First
It had been an era of great expansion. Texas
had been annexed and our tilt with Mexico
had brought us New Mexico, California and
other vast territory. Tho spirit of new en
terprl8os seized upon tho people. Gold was
discovered In California. Tho world was
fairly awakened. Gold In an endless stream
came (lowing from every gulch nnd mountain
sldo such as no people had ever dreamed of
before. This conspired to set all the wheels
of business In rapid motion. Very high
prices of country produce were nlso much
stimulated by tho famine in Ireland In 1848
nnd 1S49, nnd this followed by tho Crimean
war. Durope was calling for brcd nnd
meat and farmers In tho state of New York
wero getting $2 per bushel for wheat, nnd
other products at about the samo rate. The
western prairies wore now awakened from
tho sleep of nges. Tho Iron borBe was mnk
Ing his tracks across tho broad savannnhs
of Illinois In fact, hnd crossed tho Father
of Waters. Hundreds of new cities were
springing Into life. The human step was
quickened. It was truly a golden age. Such
grand opportunities nro given to but few
neoplo nnd but nt long Intervals.
Tho party In power certainly should be
nble to make a success. Tho whig party
had tired of anti-expansion. Tho repub
lican party was yet In Its swaddling clothes
and yet had no foothold. The democratic
party Just had full swing. All the ma
chlnory of government was in Its hands
They had free trade to kill, nnd the sequel
shows how woll it did Its work. British
goods flowed In nnd woro upon every mer
chant's shelf, to tho exclusion of Amer
ican wares. Tho furnnco tires on the
Allogheny nnd tho Monongahela were
smothered out, the wheels of Industry
censed to turn. Strong men In all eastern
cities were begglns bread. Tho govern
ment had to borrow money at 12 per cent
interest to pay running expenses in time
of peace, whllo bushels of gold were com
ing from the mines nnd the grannrles o
the farm woro bursting with the products
of the soil. It took all the gold from
California, all tho grain, nil tho pork and
beef from tho farms to pay for foreign
goods. All our good solid monoy took
wings and (lew away nnd all our circulating
medium was Irredeemable paper, much o
It so worthless that It was n burlesque
such ns tho wildcat money that flooded
Nebraska in 1857 to I860. The balance of
trade was fearfully against us. Soon
general collapse came, with all the dread
consequences. In great anguish of spirit
the president cried out "What desolation
In tho midst of plenty "
Freo trade, thou hntefii beHst,
What desolation thou hast wrought!
AU business was paralyzed, property
shrank In value until It was worthless or
nearly so. Credit said goodbye to nil
tho people. Confidence was lost, entirely
lost, among all classes from president to
peasant. Farms were lost by the thou
sand. Our cities went to decay. The treas
ury soon became bankrupt and our bonds
went begging In the tunrkets of the world
nt tho extravagant Interest offered.
And this was the condition things were
In when In 1S01 democracy turned the gov
ernment over to the republicans. About
all they could pass over was the great
robelllon. which had hatched under Its fos
tering care. March 4, 1SG1, we bade tho old
party goodbyo and straightway set about
righting matters. Wo had a big Job on
our hands fighting for the life of tho na
tion nnd engineering great financial prob
lems that should lift the people out of
the terrible slough of despondency Into
which the democratic party had led them.
Now, boys, let mo tell you what the
grand old party has done for tho country,
what It has done for you and me. It saved
ns n homo nnd a country and It kept Old
Glory waving over land nud sea. It brought
order out of chaos. It started anew the
whtcls of Industry nnd mado It possible,
boys, for you and 1 to llvo llko whlto men.
It gave to tho peoplo a free homestoa I
hill. It said to the slap. "You are free."
It built a Pacific railroad. It turned the
balance of trade In our favor. It gavo
such wlso nnd generous legislation thnt
the people bocamo prosperous nnd wealth
Incrensed as never before. A stimulus
was given inventive genius nnd most won
derful progress wns mado In all that makes
for the betterment of man's condition.
Free schools nre ono of our party's gifts
to the people, t'niler tho stimulus of this
bottor legislation confidence woh restored.
n good dollar was given tho people, capital
felt secure. A thousand cities sprang Into
an active life. Ono hundred and fifty thou
sand miles of railroad wero built nnd
right hero lot mo soy to you, boys, that
for tho thirty-two years that our party con
trolled the American peoplo were tho best
paid, tho best housed, tho best clothed,
tho best fed nnd tho best educated of any
people of nny country of nny time slnco
tho world began.
Mr. Bryan Is most cordially Invited to
answer that proposition If he can.
Boys, you never saw ono of thoso worth
less rag dollars that tho democrats gave
to tho peoplo, did you? I hopo you never
will havo to tnko such for your labor.
Well, boys, great numbers of peoplo (some
years ago) thought that a change would bo
n good thing. They thought the grass
looked more green "over there." It proved
that tho greenness was not nil In tho grass.
Twelve years ngo Clovclnnd was elected,
but was not able to do much harm, be
cause congress was not In accord with hlro,
hut It was quite noticeable thnt ft damper
wns thrown over all enterprises. But when
his successor, Mr. Harrison, was elected
things immediately brightened up nnd the
country was prosperous. But in 1S92 the
curiosity seekers had their own way and
they swallowed tho freo trade bait, hook,
lino and all. They got Cleveland, senate
and house. They got tho whole hog. In
eluding tho Wilson bill nnd Billy Brynn,
and they llxcd things for us, boys, in great
sheue. They Inaugurated sou;. Houses
Coxey armies and gave us sixteen men for
ono Job, n decllno In all products of farm
and factory.
Thov lust knocked tho bottom plumb out,
hovs. You can remember Just how anxiously
vou looked Into tho empty rtinncr pan ami
emnty coal bin.' You rfcmcmber, boys, Just
how earnestly you searched city auu conn
try for romothlng to do at any price so that
you might keep tho wolf from tno hook
Yes, Bryan remembers when he had money
to uav his way to Chicago In lS9b.
Well, wo nil hnd chango of thnt kind
enough. Wo thought we saw In the hands
of tho soldlor-stntesman of Ohio tlic Keys
to unlock tho doors of prosperity. Boys,
wo were not mistaken. Somehow It hoa
happened that McKlnlcy, a republican con
gross and general prosperity nil camo on
the samo train and If wo aro wlso in our
day and generation wo will ask all these dis
tinguished guests to abldo with us.
Boys, this much you know: That under
tho Wllsou Inw and democratic rulo you did
not havo tho pleasure of tho acquaintance
of "General Prosperity." Your labor was
not sought. If you were fortunate enough
to get a Job tho pay was poor. All thi
great business of tho country was paralyzed.
Values shrank to almoat nothing. Railroads
were mostly In hands of receivers. Business
men driven to tho wall by thousands. Grim
want striking your wIvch nnd babies In tho
fnco and Bryan carrying Wilson on his
shoulders through tho aisles of the house
of representatives In triumph of the cause
of nil our woes.
Now, boys, I will Just glvo you this to
think about. It Is an unmlstnkeable fact of
history that every democratic ndmlnlstrn
tlon from tho day of Jackson to Cleveland
except that of Franklin Plerco havo been
times of depression, of financial disaster, of
shrinkage of values, of deep distress to nil
classes and cspeclnlly tho laboring man.
It would olmost seem that God, tho elements
nnd human nature are arrayed against dem
ocratic rule.
Boys, ponder well before you vote. Re
member thnt somehow It has come about
that you and I today In this glad year enjoy
moro of the good things of life than It has
over been tho lot of common peoplo to enjoy
In all tho history of our race. This closing
year of tho wonderful century finds all tho
peoplo of our land on a much higher piano
than ever before. Let us all "rojolce nnd
bo exceeding glad." "Our light Is come"
nnd glory surrounds us If wo can only real
ize It.
Boys, let us stick to tho good old ship that
has carried us so triumphantly through so
many storms. Her timbers are yet sound,
her sails aro In perfect trim, her anchors urn
all right boys. Rvery plank In her decks
will bear tho closest scrutiny. On her prow
Is written lu burning letters. "Progress,"
and old glory Is right nt home nt tho mast
head and "Oenoral Prosperity" is her gal
lant commander nnd the good and safe pilot
nt tho helm, William McKlnley, aided by
tho hero of San Junn hill, sho will make
the harbor In safety, boys, If wo all do our
duty. RespcMfully, W. W. COX.
Millions will ho ipent In politics this
year. Wo can't keep the campaign going
without money any moro than wo can keep
the body vigorous without food. Dyspep
tics used to starve themselves. Now Kodot
Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat and
allows you to cat all the good food you
want, it radically cures stomach troubles.
