Tho Jacksonlan club hns completed nr
ransomcnts for tho banquet at tho Millard
hotel tonlRbt, but somo of these nrrnngfl
ments havo been changed by reason of the
nonarrlval of certain distinguished guestB
at tho tlmo expected. It wan believed
until yesterday that nil of the prominent
speakers would bo In Omaha this mcrnlns
and a luncheon nt tho Omaha club nt 12
o'clock was on tho program.
A 'telegram received Sunday morning
from Honntor Tillman stated that ho would
arrive at 4:2r, over tho Ilurllngton this even
ing, and It Is now certain that Mr. llryan
will not arrlvo before this afternoon. Gov
ernor Ucckham of Kentucky will probably
reach the city at l o'clock this morning
and will be taken to tho Omaha club for
luncheon and will bo shown over tho city
In tho afternoon.
Tho banquet would bo hold Tuesday
night, tho anniversary of tho battle of Now
Orleans, but, "If tho mountain will not
como to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to
tho mountain," Wltllfim Jennings llryan Is
due to speak In Chicago Tuesday night and
local democracy has arranged to celebrate
the' victory of' Andrew Jackson ono day In
advance.
As one of tho members of tho Hub put
It yesterday: "Mr. llryan had to bo In
Chicago on Tuesday. Tho democracy of
that city could not alter Its date. Wo
wanted to hear llryan. Throughout tho
Btiite there aro hundrcda of democrats who
do not know where they aro nt and until
Mr, llryan speaks thoy will bo at sea, bo
wo had to havo him hero. After ho has
spoken tho atmosphere will bo clearer and
wo can si'o further abend."
Tho order of speaking at tho closo nt
tho banquet will bo carried out with V. O.
Gilbert as toastmnster, tin follows: "Tbu
Jacksonlans," Harry H. O'Neill;- "Tho
Democracy," W. J. Uryan; "Tho IT esc,"
Will M. Muupln; "Andrew Jnckson," Gov
ernor John T. Ileckhnm of Kentucky; "Tho
Untcrrltlcd," A. C. Shallcnbergcr of Alms.'.
"Tho Democratic Tarty Its Duty and Den
tiny," Senator Ilenjamln It. Tillman of
South Carolina.
Worship at ,"t. Ainlrc'M'n Shrine.
Tomorrow night will bo tho anniversary
of tho battlo of Now Orleans, when ovcry
dornocrut, good and true, will worship nt
tho shrine of St. Andrew, tho Spoilsman;
tho man who first carried triumphant
democracy Into unrestrained rovcls
nt tho public crib. While ho will bo
ouloglzcd for bis heroism nnd his victories
by tho words of tho speakers, the heart of
every man will soften when they think that
hu was the man who said: "If thero Is any
olllro In tho United States which can better
bo held hy n whig than by n democrat, wo
will abolish that olllco."
A great chango has como over tho spirit
of tho men who In earlier days honored
tho memory of tho hero of New Orleans.
Tho- first mcelng of tho Jacksonlan club of
Douglas county was hold nl.io years ago.
On tho night of Janunry 8, 1802, u notablo
nssomblugo gathered at tho 1'axton hotel
In reBponso to Invitations Bent out by the
managers of tho' club. Among tho
prominent democrats present wero James
K. Iioyd, James B. North, J. Sterling Mor
ton and Dr. George I,, Miller. Tha silver-tongued
Irish orntor, M. V. .Gannon, was
tho first speaker that evening. Ho tilled tho
placo set apart for A. J. I'opplcton, who was
not able to bo proacnt. W. D. McIIugh ad
dressed tho meeting on tho subject of re
foims In the primary law and Warren Swltz
ler spoko on tho subject of tho tariff. "An
Honest Dollar" wns tho themo of Dr. Miller,
and his nppcal for money of Intrinsic worth
was received with loud npplauso by tho as
sembled democrats of Nebraska, who not
long bofore, under the leaderihl? of tho
speaker had assisted In nomluotlng Samuel
J. Tlldqn oh ti sound money platform, At
that llrst meeting Gilbert M. Hitchcock was
eo now In tho faith that ho thought It neces
Bary to offer a half apology for his nppear
nnco among democrats who had In good re
port and evil report upheld tho cause dear
to tho heart of Andrew Jachson. Judge
Wakeley was a guest at tho meeting aud
occupied tha seat of honor on the right hand
of tho president of tho club. He mndo no
apeech, but his presenco In the asscmblngo
showed tho typo of man honored by Ne
braska democracy of 1892.

Oldham of Kearney, who must, In tho light
of his present condition, feel tho Irony of
tho clght-ycar-old toast. It was "Turn the
ItnBcnlH Out."
At tho banquet of 1891 John I'. Irish of
California, nu old democrat of Iowu In tho
nys when democracy meant hopc3 de
ferred, was tho spenker of tho ovonlug.
Mr. Irish's address was eulogistic of
Graver Cleveland, and, although tho popu
lists and tho men who today uro masters of
tho democratic situation In tho state wero
Jamming Cleveland on uvery hand, tho
men nt that Jacksonlun meeting cheered
tho eminent editor to tho echo. In his
(peech that night Colonel Irish wnrned his
hearers against uniting with that now
party In which appetite occupied the placo
Df principles. Judge McIIugh presided and

T. J, Mnhoney presided at tho banquet

principal speaker. At that tlmo Mr. Doles
reiterated Ills position on tho money ques
tion and In tho'stato of llryan wns not
mobbed. On tho eonfrnry, his speech for
honest money wno listened to with pleasure
and rocolved with cheers.
Then enmc tho momentous year of ISO'S.
T. J. Mahoney wns yet at tho head of tho
club, but It seemed to bo Impossible to
secure speaker of moro than local Im
portance. Every Invited guest sent a letter
of regret except U. A. Clark of Stella, whoso
address wns hardly worth tho effort.
Hot Air ut HIkIi Pressure.
If, the hot air pump3 wero not In ovl
flonco In ISOfi thoy wero working double
tlmo In 1897. Tho question of quality was
not considered ns much as that of quan
tity from tho program which was prepared
for tho meeting. In placo of the lenruod
nnd dignified address, of Morton or Irish,
William Jennings Dryan, thon smarting
under his first defeat In his effort to securo
tho presidency, talked upon domocracy and
endenvored to provo that his was tho only
Blmon-puro article. Whero Dr. Miller had
spoken us one familiar with national Issues
nnd men of sound parts and wisdom In

only speaker from nbrond was c F, Coeh
ran of St. Joseph, who, Iho most nble man
of tho assembled speakem, compared hut
to his disadvantage with tho men who had
preceded him at banquets (given by tho
Jacksonlan club, That banquet was ended
by an address by C It, Scott, who pledged
und..ig Bupport to tlio mongrel organua
tlon of fusion. At that meeting Judgo
Scott wns acting In tho absence of W. D.
Oldham of Kearney, wheso flowing periods
nnd elegant diction would challenge that
admiration of Doctor Johnson and baflle?
tho skill of Llndley Murray. Kven Judgo
Scott could not equal tho sandhill orntor.
.H Ilium-I'll re Pop ti 1 1 mi.
If W. J. Brynn refuses the title, tho first
populist, pure and simple, to address an
assemblage of bnnquetlng Jacksonlans, was
Judgo Holcomb, who, by strict adherence
to the principles" of tho new alliance, In
letting no office escape, had earned ti stand
ing In the club as then constituted. Hi
in a do his appeal anco In 189S, nt .i banquet
over which I. J. Dunn presided. William J.
Stone, ex-governor of Mlsuourl, was tho
principal speaker, and William Jool spoko
on a subject dear to his heart, that nt
"Iluslness nnd Politics." Truly, a. master
mind arranged that program, for until tho
campaign of 1000 no mnn had demonstrated
hla ability to make a business of politic,
so well as tho lanky Mlssourlnn, who hn3
tho reputation of being tho most cold
blooded man In tho political nrcna of Mis
souri. At tho present tlmo, If current
stories nro true, tho speaker of that day
no dcubt wishes ho had confined his po
litical business to' the west, for It Is gen
erally believed that his Tnmmnny co
workers In Now York In tho Inst campaign
cleaned him up by ndvlslng him to bet on
llryan nnd furnishing tho brokers tho money
which covered his on the books. At this
meeting tho democracy of tho Jacksonlan
club, which had outgrown tho principles
of Judgo Wnkcley, Dr. Miller, Colonel
North, Governor Boyd nnd men of that
sort, listened with rapt nttcntlon and
demonstrative appreciation to tho sapient
utterances of T. J. Nolan, W. D. Oldham,
A. C. Shallcnbcrgcr nnd B. C. Page.
.Inlni I'eter Altm-lil'M Climit.'r.
Dr. A. Hugh Hlppto presided over tho
banquet of 1890. Adlnl Stevenson, ho of tho
meat nx, was present, but tho next dom
ocrntlc candidate for vlco president took n
back seat for his fellow citizen, John P,
Altgcld, the man who had nuulo himself
famous aB tho one gubernatorial champion
of anarchy and misrule. It was perhaps the
mcst vivid Illustration of tho revolution
which hnd taken place In tho organization.
Under tho auspices of tho club of tho same
nnmo lnw-lovln(i officers and statesmen of
ability had discussed questions of momen
tous Import In a manner to command tho
admiration nnd respect, If not tho confi
dence, of their opponents. At no time un
der the old reglmo wero political flrebrnnds
honored by tho democracy of Nebraska, but
nt this meeting Aitgeld reigned supreme,
and, "like n dead mackerel In tho moon
light," shed his light nnd odor upon nil who
surrounded him. This would havo been bad
enough, but the papers of tho next day
record that his remarks wero received with
cheers and his sentiments fully endorsed
William Sulzer of Now York delivered n
better address, but It wns not. received with
half the enthusiasm ns tho words of tho
red-headed ex-governor of Illinois. J. S.
Hoblnson of Madison, then newly elected to
congress, responded to tho toast, "Tho
Democrncy of Nebraska," nnd It Is said tho
man nnd subject wero In perfect accord In
every particular.
"Drunk In Their "Words."
Last year, upon tho cvo of his second
nomination for the offlco of president, W.
J. Uryan spoko on the money question. His
remarks recalled to tho hearer tho first ad
dress on this subject delivered before an
annual banquet of tho club, when Dr. Miller
spoko In favor of nn honest dollar. Logic,
history and philosophy, which wero called
to strengthen the position of tho enrller
speaker, wero nil cast asldo by tho later
champion of llatlsm nnd tho reason of his
hearers was drowned In a flow of verbiage.
musical to tho car, but death to tho under
standing. David Overmeycr, tho dlsorgan
lzer of Knnsus democracy, was nnother
speaker who endeavored to provo that two
and two inako flvo and In tho reulm of tho
unreal to which ho led his auditors mot
with perfect success. Willis J. Abbott, tho
mnn who later was to edit all of tho dem
ocratic weeklies of tho country, responded
to tho toast, "Tho Press." In tho cam
pulgn which followed he was given, nn op
portunity to put his theories Into practice
and showed that he was as good at that
phaso of tho work as his superiors wero In
conducting tho general campaign.

Tonight, upon tho threshold of the new

City, Pittsburg & Gulf system by foreclo

Importnnco, tho Vlcksburg, Shroveport &
Pacific, had for many years been strug

railroad, which, with only six nnd n half
miles of road, adds $3,218,000 to the capital
footing, Is primarily n coul mining com
pnny, and lt3, misfortunes cannot fairly bo
connected with railway operation. The era
of rallwny bankruptcies seems now to bo
nearly ended and tho receivership business,
which has nourished mightily during tho
last quarter century, Is likely to bo dull, at
leaBt for somo years to come.

It has been n bad quarter of n century
for Investors In railway securities. On nn
average thirty-four companies every year
havo suffered sale by foreclosure. Tho
early years, at least, of tho twcntloth cen
tury, certainly will show few foreclosures,
for tho supply of bankrupt roads Is about
exhausted. Whllo tho number of roads
sold during 1900 wns just tho same as tho
number of roads placed In tho hands of
receivers, tho mllenga of tha roads sold
was moro than twlco as great ns that of
tho now candidates for tho auction block,
nnd tho year 1901 starts out, so far ns wo
havo been nblo to lenra, with only flfty
nlno roads In tho hands of receivers, with
n total of 2.3G3 miles, or an average of only
forty miles each. Let It bo hoped that
tho first quarter of tho twentieth century
will bo marked by such Improvement In
tho relations of rallwny companies to each
other nnd such amelioration of tho attitude
of tho public toward theso vast and
beneficent Interests, that tho bankrupt
sales of their properties will soon becorao
ns raro and nH much deplored ns they hnvo
in tho past been common nnd npproved.

WASHINGTON, Jan. C. A supplementary
report upon tho depressed condition of tho
French merchant mnrino nnd tho vnrlous
mensures ndvanccd for Its nmellorntlon has
been furnished tho Department of Stnto by
United States Consul Thackera at Havre.
Mr. Thackera forwards a resume of an In
teresting report on this subject by M.
Thierry, deputy from Marseilles, which will
form tho basis for tho discussion of tho mat
ter In tho lower chamber. M. Thierry ad
vocates tho diminution of tho advantages
enjoyed by tho sailing flcot undur tho law
of 1893, tho tncreaso of bounties granted to
steamers and tho rejuvenation of tho ma
terial composing tho merchant licet.
"When the commercial fleet will havo
obtained n grenter number of well equipped
vessels," snys M. Thierry, "then It will bo
of tho grcntcst service to tho fighting navy
when -the occasion arises."
M. Thleny calls attention to tho diffi
culties which tho French government ex
perienced every tlmo It was necessary to
transport troops to Tonquln, Madagascar,
Dahomey and China. Ho speaks of tho
great services rendered by English ship
owners during tho Trnnpvnal campaign. He
gives Interesting details of tho part which
our auxiliary fleet took In tho nnvol op
erations In Cuban watort.
In commenting Bn tho Spanish-American
wnr, M. Thierry bays that by the organi
zation of a powerful commercial fleet, by
tho transformation of fast steamers Into
auxiliary crutsers-nnd of cargo boats Into
auxiliary vessels, tho United States npplled
a system to which, In largo measure was
duo tho great American victories. In other
words, tho United States, Instcnd of having
a fixed base of supplies for its fleet, crentcd
a movablo one.

I South Omaha News . t
Tho monthly meeting of tho Bonrd of Ed
ucation will bo held tonight. It Is expected
that tho plans for n now High school build
ing being prepared by Architect Davis will
be submitted for Inspection, Possibly, how
ever, no action will bo taken towards car
rying out tho proposition to erect nny por
tion of tho building Just now, on account of
tho public deslro for a. new city charter. In
tho charter which may pass tho legislature
some provision may be mado for changes In
tho existing school laws, and action by tha
board may bo doferred until It Is known
what kind of a charter tho city is going to
have.
Ono fenturo of tho meeting will bo tho
discussion of tho smallpox situation. As
has been stated before, tho,tcmporary board
of health requests that alt children bo vac
cinated. When this wns talked over nt n
special meeting of tho board held a few
days ago Mr. Roberts objected, insisting
that vaccination docs no good. His posi
tion Is combated by other members of tho
board and It Is undet stood that nn effort
will bo mndo tonight to sccuro tho adop
tion of a resolution requiring nil pupils who
havo not been vaccinated within tho last
two years to undergo the operation.
In speaking of this mnttor yesterday
President Bulla of tho bonrd snld that ho
believed such nn order should bo Issued. Ho
will support n resolution of this kind pro
vided ono Is offered. "It costs very llttlo
to bo vaccinated," said Mr. Bulla, "and
when this Is dono both pupils nnd parents
feel safor." In cases whero children nro
too poor to pay for being vaccinated tho
servlco will bo performed by nny ono of
tho doctors constituting tho Board of Hcntth
without expenso to tho pupil.

Moro than likely a meeting of citizens and
tnxpnyors will bo called for some evening
this week t6 listen to tho reading of the
revised charter. Tho subcommittees nppcnr
to bo getting nlong nicely nnd tho drnft
of tho charter will booh bo submitted to tho
people.
Even after tho charter has been npproved
by thoso who nttend tho mass meeting nnd
tho various committees somo changes aro
liable to bo made. In speaking of this mat
ter yesterday a well known taxpayer said
that ho -would advocato' tho holding of on
election In tho spring, with n view to oust
ing tho present administrative oiilcers.
Should such a, provision bo Included In tho
charter nnd tho emergency clnuno nttnehed,
which seems probable nt this time, nn elec
tion would bo held within sixty days after
tho adoption of tho charter by tho legis
lature. City Will Commence Suit.
Slnco the city council Has directed tho
Issuing of n wnrrant for tho payment of
tho Kd Burko Judgment of $2,230 tho caso

At tho tlmo tho frnnchlso was granted to
tho gas company n bond was furnished re
lieving tho city from liability In caso dam
ages accrued by renson of cxcnvntlons In
