CONTROL (Continued from First Page.) Ilor, so to speak, of the reports received from United States consuls. In former years reports from consuls were received at rare Intervals and generally speaking touched upon subjects of little Interest. In a commercial sense, to us a a commercial people. All this, however, will be changed by the frtw "managing editor." Under his direction ettch consul general, consul or commercial agent Is Instructed specifically to render reports upon affaire which come under his notice, which may be of Interest to America commercially or otherwise, and to put his report In a form which In addi tion to containing the essential facts shall also be In such ahape as to be readily printed in a dally newspaper. James C. Monaghan, former consul at Chemnitz, Germany, is In direct charge of Idltlng the reports from United Btatea con suls In foreign countries. Mr. Monaghan made a splendid record while consul at fchemnlts and his reports upon Industrial nd other subjects are models of conclse- Eess, at the same time showing a compreh ensive knowledge of what our commercial Interests moat desired to know. Mr. Mon frghan's reports needed little or no editing, and they were eagerly look for and read ily accepted by newspapers throughout the tountry. The United States Is represented through Consuls general, consuls and commercial .gents In 695 cities scattered all over the .Vorld. There are HT7 consuls and consuls general and 408 commercial agents. . Secre tary Cortelyou has also inaugurated a plan whreby our representatives abroad In the tonsular service are to be promptly In formed as to ' any particular subject In Which this country may be Interested and tt which such consul can give a full re port.' In other words. Secretary Cortelyou, through Mr. Monaghan, proposes to turn Ihe corps of United States consuls to one. Ileal account, and from time to time have Ihem send In reports which will be of In terest to the general public. Tarns Down Keller. The fact that Pontmaster General Payne recently notified the member of the ex ecutive committee of the National letter Carriers' association, who presented to him a memorial setting forth the claims of the carriers to an Increased compensa tion, that the Postofflce department could Hot recognlie or treat with James C. Keller of Cleveland, O., as president of the association. Is expected to put an end to Mr. Keller's campaign for re-election i ne postmaster general Is reported . to have said that because of Mr. Keller's un reliability the department wa compelled to direct him to return to his duties a letter carrier In the Cleveland office about eight months ago, since which time he has had no standing before the postofflce department. It will be remembered that because of the part which Mjr. Keller la supposed to have played In defeating for re-election Representative Loud, who ai chairman of the house committee on cost offices had opposed the .bill to Increase the salaries of the letter carriers, Keller lost all standing before the committee and , consequently made no effort at the .last session to procure the passage of the bill. Now that Postmaster General Payne has frankly stated the attitude of the Poet. office department toward Mr, Keller the ract that he would have, no , standing either at the Postofflce department or be fore congress is taken as making his re election oyt of the question, far there would be no field In which he oould oper ate as president of the organisation. AVhlll) the letter carriers may personally approve of his course In opposing the re election of Representative Loud It Is not thought likely they will elect to the high. - est office of the organisation for a term of two years a man who could appear neither before consress nor tha rtansrt. tnent and who would therefore be merely a useless SDnendaare.

DEMOCRACY HAS NO CLAIM ON THE PARTY gge that In Event Reorgan ises Gaining Control of Democ racy Bryan's Followers Might Want a Political Home. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 23, -(Special.) For- mer. Senator Allen, In the current Issue of the Independent, makes the following re ply to the recent editorial by W. J. Bryan In his paper, the Commoner: Editor Indeoendent: In the Commoner of the Tth Inst, a rather caustic comment Is made on the Denver conference address and on the determination of the populists to put a presidential ticket in the neici in 1904. and for declaring Itself "unqualifiedly In favor of national political action." It la assumed that the conference did not have authority to speak for the party, nut whether that Is true or not. It Is question able (because the Commoner is not a popu list Journal) whether it Is In a situation to raise the point of regularity of the con ference s work. Complaint Is made that fusion populists have surrendered to the middle-of-the-road populists snd It Is stated that the latter supported the republican ticket In lSwO. A general onslaught is made on tne mia- dle-of-the-roaders, they are characterised as unreasonable, and It Is said they gave aid and comfort to the republican party; and other charges are made against them. It Is finally urged that an appeal oe mane from the regular populist organisation "to the members of the populist party," to undo the work of the Denver conference. It Is to be regretted that the Commoner, as well as some other democratic papers, takes the view It does of the situation. The tenor of the article is that Wie popu list party must be disciplined for not sub ordinating Its will to the wishes of the democratic party. In other words, that the populist party must be destroyed unless It (frees to subordinate Its wishes and plat forms to the democratic party's wishes and platforms. Complaint Is made that the action of the Denver conference will have a tendency to weaken respect for the Chicago and Kan sas City democratic platforms. What Is PopolUt DntyT Let us examine the situation and see what the duty of the populists Is. The party was organised . In ltd) as a protest against both the republican and democratic parties ana to accompiisn rerorma mat neither of them had the disposition or power to accomplish. The party has held tnree national conventions ana promui- f;ated. three national platrorms. it nomi nated General Weaver for the presidency on Its first and on the others tt nominated Mr. Bryan, although Mr. Bryan is not a populist. Bryan in 18M and 1900 and would support htm again If he were a candidate, because they believe that by his election some of the reforms which they advocate would be sooner made practicable. But Mr. Bryan, to the regret of the reformers everywncre, failed of an election. Populists did not fuse with the democrats in supporting Mr. Bryan, but made an in dependent nomination. At no time had they any Intentions to abandon their party or to become democrats, but simply eo c, Derated with the liberal win of the dem ocratic party to secure Mr. Bryan's elec tion. In the meantime It Is doubtful If the re public!! n party did more to disorganise the populist party and to absorb its member ship than the democratic party did. Re- neated nrotests of Donullets. that the demo crats should not try. to disorganise the fiarty. but let It work out Its own prob ands In its own way, were Ignored and the work of proselyting went steadily on. The attitude of the Commoner makes nlaln what many Domiliata believe, namely that it was the Intention of the democratic farty to abnorD the populists; ana now hat Independent action haa been deter mined on, this assault is made on our party; and It Is evident that If we refuse to fur thea march in the rear of the democratic) column or under Its flag we are to be re- puuiaiea ana uiscipunru. -' Xo Allegiance to Democracy Populists nowhere owe any allegiance to either the Chicago or Kansas "City plat forms. It Is a matter of Indifference to them whether these documents "are voted up or voted down." Their faith Ilea pre scribed by the Omaha and Subsequent plat form. These are the tests of oarty fealty. The Commoner article makes no reference to these platforms, or to the duty of popu lists to support them, but seems to think that we should desert our platforms and make common cause with the democrats In upholding the Chicago and Kansas City platforms. Why soT 1 am oulte certain that tha assertions that .the middle-of-the-road populists are amnonest, ia as a rule a mistake, -mere are dishonest men tn all parties and doubt less there are some In the middle-of-the- road wing of the populist party; but I am confident that the maioritv of them were honest, though mistaken In their action cf ltiM and 1000. The assertion that "the most notworthy Sart of the new platform Is its failure to eal with several vital Issues of the day," Is a total misconception of the aim and purpose of the Denver conference. It was distinctly understood that we had no au thorlty to promulgate a platform and that the vital issues are continued In the Omuha platform of July 4..1S9J. , We do repeat In substance the ad areas, tne carama-i aoctrines oi populism: but it must be said with a due degree of modesty that the Commoner, not being a populist, doe not stand in a position to leu populists what they shall put In or take out of their Dlatform or address. l nave Deen ana am yet a nrm ana loyai supporter of Mr. Bryan. I would vote for mm lor presioent in ,a convention or out of It, and confidently "believe that the time will come when he will reach the goal of hla ambition and where, In consequence of his great ability, he can be of incalculable service to the nation. Bryan Rot a Dictator. . But we did not support' Mr. Bryan be cause be Was a pooullst or because he ac cepted the doctrines of our platforms; nor are we prepared to say that, Mr. Bryan minseir not ueing in in race, ne nas any ngnt to luriiisn us a canaiaate ior tne presidency or to direct us as to the course we shall pursue. If there was the slightest hope of Mr. Bryan controlling the national convention of his party and receiving the nomination; u were not apparent mat the reactionary element of his party will dominate Its next convention, there might i Home reason ior popunsts to nestiaio before Issuing an address tg the people. Respecting "fusion," or more properly speaking co-operation In tha state, it will be observed that the opposition extends onljk to .n atlonal political sat ion. It was directly understood In the 'conference that eauh state should be left to control Its own local affairs; that the policy of fusion or I independent action should De determined iv oartles of the resneotlve states, and I feel confident that no member of the con ference had the slightest Intention to re fuse honorable co-oocration locally as long as that can pe done to the advancement of our cause. That Judce Sullivan will receive the nom ination of the populists of this slate and their hearty support for the great office h has Ailed with such signal ability, is a foregone conclusion, i .But assaults on pop ulists and their motives, and carping criticism will not have a tendency to In duce them to give their full strength to democratic nominees. It would, in my JuilKtnent, be the part of wisdom for dem ocrats and populists to work in harmony on issues held in common; and neither should make any attempt at dltorganlxlng the other, but appeal to the intelligence of the people to support the party that chal lenges thelrf enlightened Judgment. Reverses the Araument. The populist party Is a national entity in spite of protest or bitter criticism. It will pursue the course tt thinks wlae and beat and will continue to exist and grow. It ha no Intention of dyina. It I going to considerable length for deme-rs ti o say that -the populist party should disband and be absorbed by the democratic party. With equal propriety populists can say that the democratic party should disband and be absorbed by the populist party, wnicn in my judgment, would be Ihe wiser thin to do. If Indirectly lending assistance to the re publican iarty 1 a thing to be avoided, and I think H I, thl can be a easily accomplished by the democrats becoming populist as by populists becoming demo crats. By all means let us have perfect har mony in our local action that we may ac complish needed reforma; and let thoee wni are sneering at and questioning each Jtntri motives. ra ror tne common gopd.

COLLEGE SETTLEMENT WORK Managers to Besuxe Active Orerat'oni Earl, in the Tell- BURLINGTON SCHEDULE FOR STATE FAIR State Fair Manas-era Bnsy with Prep, aratlona for the famine Exhibit Railroad Arrange for Train Service. (From a Btaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 23. (Special. )-Tbe work ot the college settlement will be resumed In the early fall. The new building which the settlement residents moved Into at Twentieth and N streets a year ago has been greatly improved by the addition of a furnace, ho and cold shower bath, plumbing, a cement floor In the basement, and a new porch over the main entrance. The yard has been graded and fruit trees have been planted and seeds have been sown. The settlement Is now practically out of debt, all bills having been paid by voluntary subscriptions by the people of Lincoln and of the university. People not directly interested have a vague Idea of the work being done by the settlement. It Is not as Is most generally understood a school or church of charity for the benefit of only the very poor classes who are unable to attend schools, and this very Idea has kept many people away from It. The management does not consider the work any more a charity thin a church and they argue that 'when a man attends a church, though he gives nothing for Its malntalnance, he does hot beebme an object of charity. Those who gave the money for the building of the settle ment gave It not as an ordinary charity, but to build a place where rich and poor alike could meet for social Intercourse and for the broadening and uplifting of each other. Its lecture room Is a place where all discuss questions that concern them and discuss freely current Issues, city Im provement or anything else. The house is always open for meetings that Interest the neighborhood in which It Is located and people are Invited to take advantage of It. The work was first started In Lincoln about ten years ago by a number of uni versity professors, who conducted It In a building In the northwestern part of the city. About three years ago the work died down considerably, to be resurrected, and a new building was the result. When the work began to broaden, the board of di rectors was enlarged to Include a number of the citizens of the town. The board Is now composed of.W. G. Ix Taylor, presi dent; A. Ross Hill, Paul Grumman, uni versity professors, and J. E. Miller, God frey W. Rhodes and Mrs. G. M. Lambert son of Lincoln. Four student members are to be elected In October. The residents who have the work in charge are C. B. Prevey, Mrs. Alice W. Prevey and Harry N. Pos ton, a student helper. The main object of the settlement Is to promote good fellowship and social Inter course. It does this by the organisation ot clubs of persons of all ages, each of which haa its regular meeting night. Dur ing the winter the settlement -conducted a night school for the benefit of those whose work did not permit of them attending school. The attendance, however, was not what It should have ' been and the work was not as successful as was anticipated. The classes will be resumed this winter If students will attend. The tuition Is free. Clnbs and Schools. During the summer tjnly the boys' clubs have been kept .moving,.- The , Antelope Valley boys' club, organised last Novem ber, has had a meeting every Friday night, with an attendance -of fifteen. Tha boys are from 7 to 16 years old. They have given two entertainments, the proceeds from which went to buy a punching bag and other apparatus, for a gymnasium. The Ruby Seal club, for girls from T to 14 years old, has had an average attend ance from the time tt was organised last November until April, of nineteen. The literary and social club for persons over 16 years old, organised In January, has had an average attendance of forty. This club was organised for the discussion of social problems and Its members Indulge In de hate and have had several lectures. W. Bryan was the speaker upon the night of the organisation, and since then Gov ernor Mickey, ex-Governor Poynter and several of the university professors have lectured to Its member. The sewing school for girls attracted the laraest number. To April 11, when Its meetings were discontinued for the sum mer the average attendance was fifty-one. The girls were provided with eight teach ers. Other classes were opened during the winter In arithmetic, language, vocal music, history, elocution and drawing, but were discontinued because of a lack of attendance. This winter It is planned to open a cooking school and a carpenter class. The tools and benches for the lat ter have all been provided, but assistance Is needed to fit up the kitchen. Tha young people organise their own clubs, elect their officers and conduct all their affairs themselves, under the direction of the residents. The work Is In charge of Mr. Prevey and he Is assisted by Mrs, Prevey and students of the university, These reside at the settlement and there Is room there for two or three student helpers. The only student who has assisted straight through the school year was Mr. Poston and his work Is highly spoken of by Mr. Prevey. For their assistance the student are given room) rent free of charge. The settlement needs finances to Ot up one more room for a helper and to fit up the basement for a boys' club room. One large room downstairs Is used for a game room and another for a library and reading room. Many excellent books have been secured and the young people of the city are encouraged to read. The work will be resumed October t slmpklns Gives Advice. "And I say unto you, build not upon the nd, and neither let your weatherboard- Ing be of plank placed far apart. Make your houses that they may be permanent fixtures and that they may also be pleas ing to the eye. Ail these things l say unto you in the name of the board of man agers of the state fair, 'and to save time you had better yank that thing down as soon as possible." Thus spake ueorge Simpkliw, general manager of the rules and regulations of the state fair board, to a crowd of women and men, members of the church of the disciples of Christ, who had gathered from Tar and near to view their work done In the early hours of the -day. And straightway with heavy hearts and hands and tired bodies and hammers and hatchets and hat pins the gallant little band of one lone heavily laden preacher and a score of slaters again set to work to undo what had been done. All after noon they himmered and knocked, and It is said they kept their tempers, though perspiration washed Irrigation canals down sunburned, dusty faces, and the day wore on, and the next day was the Sunday And when night came the building was all down and the day's work counted for naught on this mundane sphere. But to morrow will that little band, enforced with some better timber, go forth and start again the building of the housa. This will be done because the members of the church have rented the ground at the state fair site unoa which to oondnct an eating emporium. They msde the mistake of putting up an Insecure building, which Is against the order of the board of man agers. But the members of the church expect to reap their harvest during the fair. All Indications point to the largest attendance In the history of the state. Many splendid ttractlons have been secured, the grcntest f which Is advertised as Cresceus, the wonder, who will do a turn here September 8, at the same time the republican state central committee expects to get together. The people are Just now wondering whether the railroads will furnish suffi cient transportation fncllltles to accommo date all who desire to come.

This was quickly done and when the boat was within twenty-five of shore It sank In about six feet of water. The excursionists were all taken off with out fatalities by means of skiff and barges. When the boat sank the lower deck was covered with water to a depth of about six Inches.

CITY SUPPLANTS COMPANIES Municipal Ownership Idea Growing; Bap , idly in German Municipalities, RIVALRY TO SEE WHICH SHALL HAVE BEST Public Works Ucncrally Inancnrntcd by Prlvale Enterprise or Cor porations and Then Par chased by Pnbllc. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Aug. 23 (Special. )-Er-nest L. Harris, United States commercial agent at Etbenstock, In a recent report to the Department of Commerce and Labor, writes that the Idea of municipal control of public works has secured a strong foot hold In Germany. "In Germany," Mr. Harris writes, "there Is a very strong tendency on the part ot the state or municipal authorities, as the oase may be, to secure control of all the works which contribute in any way toward the public welfare. It is usually the cus tom on the part of local authorities to grant a concession for a certain number ot years, providing that when the time expires the city shall assume control of the enterprise. In the majority of cases It has either been private enterprise or a stock company which haa taken the Initia tive in German cities in introducing the most advanced technical and scientific im provements. This has been the case In small towns as well as In large cities. The water and gas works of Klbenstock, for example, were built a few years ago by a stock company organised by the! cltlaens of the town. The ownership of both,' how ever, was recently acquired by the mu nicipal government and the company liquidated. Government control of all such enterprises has led to a great rivalry among tho large cities of the empire in striv ing to be first In the application of tho newest methods and latest Inventions known to science. Tho exhibits of the dif ferent cities of the empire at Dresden af ford a striking opportunity to study tho progress made in Industrial science and Its application In Germany today. "The exhibition Is divided Into two parts. In the first section are the exhibits of the large German cities with regard to the progress made In recent years relating to municipal management of water works, sewerage canals, underground wires, tele phones, electrlo railways, gas and electric light works, etd. "One of the most interesting 'features of the exhibition Is the cross-section street of the city of Dresden. "In the second section of the exhibition many of the large Industrial concerns of the empire are represented." Begins at Bed Rock. Health, strength and vigor depend on di gestion.

I BASIN CITT. Wyo., Aug. 23.-(Speclal.)- The strike of oil by the Hooxler people In the Bonansa fields south of here was more Important than at first supposed, but the company desired to keep the matter quiet to prevent prices of land going up. A heavy flow of oil was struck at a depth of 1,124 feet. Before further progress could be made a caveln occurred and nothing can be done In the well until new casing arrives. The. manufacturers are "ninety days behind In their orders and work will probably not be resumed In the well before November 20.' The Hooxler company will put down other wells on their property In order to satisfy themselves as to the quan tity of the oil In the Bonansa fields. The Hdosler discoveries, following those of the Reams company a year ago, prove con clusively that a large lake of hlgli grade petroleum exists under the Benton shale at a depth of from 1,000 to 1,800 feet, and that the Bonanxa fields with development, will soon become one of the leading producers of high grade Illuminating oils In this country.
