Mr. Oraf has practically the name Ideas about what the proposed banking bill khould contain as has Dr. Hall. 80 his . selection Is a feather In the cap of the yice chairman. i Especially Is the defeat humiliating to 'Mr. Bryan, for the reason that he had tf. Hall out at Falrvlew and read the riot act to him; gave the banker his or ders to be carried out Instead of tak ing orders. Dr. Hall proceeded to give the presidential candidate his own Ideas about ' legislation affecting banks. It wss pre ! dieted at tbs time that Mr. Bryan would have to surrender to Dr. Hall, snd the , result shows that rather than have an open rupture behave up his Ideas for ; the "Immediate" psymen of losses In case of a'bank failure. Surrendered principle, ; a It were, rather, than have an open rupture with .Dr. Hall, for there Is no ' doubt the presidential ' candidate had a majority of the democrats In the hollow Of his hand. , . To secure the place for Oraf Is was neces sary for the democratic caucus to defeat j W. J. Taylor of Custer county, who has ; already demonotrated great ability as a leader of the majority.. Mr. Toy lor has some Ideas of hla own about the banking .business and he Is strictly opposed to any limit being placed upon the liability of the 'banks to make good the losses by fslluree. jThe bankers naturally desire a limit fixed ; as to the amount of money which they may i have to contribute annually to the guaranty fund. Taylor wants, all losses made good , and a levy on the banks at the time of failures sufficiently high to create a fund to pay all the losses. Governor Shsllcn berger wsnts thst levy limited to not more than i per cent of the deposits In any one year. According to Mr. Taylor, the fund ' would be wiped out by the failure of one of the large city banks. 80 Mr. Taylor had to be sacrificed. Mr. Graf has yet to be confirmed by the -caucus and before that by Mr. Bryan, so It remains to be seen whether the presl dentlsl csndklata has the. fight In him to t change this chairmanship. 3 Hre Is what Mr. Graf had to say about 1 the guaranty of bank deposits: The mstter of Immediate snd prompt payment of losses wss threshed out at the 'Denver convention and there Is no neces sity for any division bere. It wss proposed I: at Denver that the word 'Immediate1 should i be Inserted In the platform and a big fight was the result. Immediate payment was ; turned down and prompt payment substi tuted. 80 fsr as I am concerned that Is ! sufficient for me. I shall stand for a bill providing for, prompt payment of losses In jchm of a bank failure." Mr. Hrvsn. in nis ttodiic through th press.- has Insisted that pay 'Vicnt must me -"Immediate.".; Dr. Hall has v'hiolsted that ' "prompt" , payment would bs J'sion enough. The next move is up to Mr. ,B?yan. . . Incidentally, while there Is not a demo 'trst here sufficiently brava publicly to say 'a word against the dictation of the presi dential candidate, there are a lot of them who do speak out In private.

The colonel went to tho legislature bent nn serving his country as chairman of the house Judiciary committee.

BATTLE OF RIGHT AND WRONG Hnsaaa History Bears a with, "ays Rev. Job a A. Soykrr. "Tho Significance ot tho Holy Bacrament" waa tho subject 'of the discourse of Rev. John A. Spyker at Trinity Methodist 'church Sunday morning. . . "Slnco tho beginning of the world's hta tory a mighty contest has been waging between right and wrong," said Dr. Spyker. "Human history Itself began With a trag edy. The blood of Abel Is crying out to this day against the Influence and power of sin. Sin has caused all the bloodshed, Immorality and commotion In aoclal life; It Is the csuse of all schisms and ecclesV astlcal divisions, the cause of every ache and pain of the body and mind or of the Immortal soul. Sin Is ths mightiest factor against every good and perfect thing. "Righteousness under the leadership of Jesus Christ Is battling against sin. The oppression of the Jews In Egypt was ths result of sin. God sent a leader down among them and punished their oppressors, even to the destruction of the first born of the Egyptians, because the rulers of Egypt would not let the people of Israel go. "It was Christ who Instituted the ordl nance of the Lord's Supper, the bread In dlcatlng His broken body and the wine His blood. The Inception of bread, from aeed time to harvest, the crushing of tho grain In the mills to make the flour, the working and kneading of the flour to perfect It Into the loaf, and the baking of the bread in the fire heated oven was typical of the preparatory period for the Lamb of God before Hs should be submitted to the final sacrifice for the redemption of men. So it was with the preparation and crushing of the grape to transpose It into the perfected wine. Christ was spat upon, maligned slandered, crushed and broken and at last died on the cross of a broken heart; yet He asked that His persecutors be forgiven for 'they know not what they do.' "Bo when we again declare ourselves aa Christians by this holy ordinance of the sacrament In partaking of His broken body and precious blood, let us consecrate our selves anew to His service, knowing that all wo have or hope to have, that all we are or hope to be was purchased by His blood and that wo belong to Jesus Christ henceforth and forever."

MrNutt, the "dinner pall" man, who spoke Surday afternoon to the men at - the Young Men's Christian association on the subject of "Our Kind of a Man." "Jesus now has more faith in us than wo have In Him, and how wonderfully practical Ho Is In all His undertakings. He Is the mediator sent to thla earth by God. "There is nothing tho matter with this old world except the people who are in it.

"Jesus Christ . ta stronger today than any character who ever lived, and why Is It? The answer Is because He gave Himself Instead of riches and libraries and universities. What we need today Is men who sre willing to give themselves to help their fellommen. "A school or college cannot give to a son what a parent should give, and a boy Is pretty sure to go to destruction unless he has the attention of a' father and a mother.

The smuggling of Chinese Into the United States goes on, al though many are apprehended In the vicin ity of the land boundaries and deported. Of the Chinese arrested 88 per cent were taken Into custody In the districts Imme diately connected with the land boundaries. Every effort has been made by the bureau to prevent the smuggling Into the country of Chinese and an improvement Is shown In this work over previous years. The report urges the government to take effective means to prevent the congestion of arriving aliens In the great centers of population.

Every effort has been made by the division not only to eliminate fraud from the naturalisa tlon of aliens, but to secure absolute com pliance with the law. Co-operation has been effected, through the Department of Justice, with ' the United States courts throughout the country. It is recommended that a sufficient appropriation bs made to organize a force of examiners to Inveetl gate every petition for naturalisation." It Is recommended also that the fees allowed clerks of courts be increased In order to afford the officials adequate compensation for the labor Involved. Through the work of this division the government now has complete records of all applications for naturalisation papers and a complete recoraU of the reasons for the acceptance or rejec tion ot any such application.

AILURE h SUPREME TEST Greatest Danger in Life it Thii, Sayi Dr. Conley. USES no TREE AS AN EXAMPLE Dlstreaalas; Thins; Aboat Fa 11 ore is that It Berets Failure, Toaeh f Owe Life Vital to Another. Taking for his text tho parable of the fig tree which for three years brought forth no fruit and which the owner ot the vineyard ordered cut down because It cum bered the ground. Rev. J. W. Conley, D. D., preached a sermon on "Failure." at the First Baptist church Sunday morning. He asserted the fig tree was a failure In the supreme test, end for that reason It wss cut down, even though It might have been strong of limb and prollflo In leaves. But It brought forth no fruit. It failed In the supreme test and was destroyed. "Tho parable simply symbolises the word failure,' for the fig tree was a fail ure," said Dr. Conley. "Further, the par able suggests that the greatest danger of life is that we , will fail In the greatest thing. In the supremo test. In the bringing forth of fruit Life Is given for three things faith, hope and love and without these It Is a failure, for that Is the fruit which the Master looks for in our lives. Faith is trust In God, the recognition of the divine, the vital element of the soul that recognises that man Is made to walk with God. Hope lives In the midst Of the eternity of things and holds buoyant the faith la the future. Love, or charity. Is devotion to Ood, principle and truth; the surrendering of self to that which Is worth while; service. The distressing thing about failure Is that one failure begets another. The touch of one life upon another holds untold harm or untold good. If a man fails In faith. somebody else falls In faith; if a man falls In hope, somebody else falls; and -If a man falls In love, somebody else falls In love, and darkness comes Into other lives and the Master will fmd no fruit when He comes. . 'It is failure In tho highest things In life that works the greatest harm. That boy may go out with a fair - education and plenty of money to Invest in life, but If he has not faith, hops and Christian love, he will fall. But If he goes out uneducated and -poor, but with faith In God, hope In His aid, and Imbued with love for the Master, success will crown his efforts." Railroad Offered for Sale. SIOUX FALLS, 8.

Holmes of Douglas county got sat down on so hard by the committee on committees of the house that he went home tonight with sore spots all over himself. He went into the meeting with a well de fined , idea of what he Intended to do, and couldn't do it The pace waa so hot for him that before the meeting was over he refused to vote on committee actions, but merely passed with the remark: "If there Is anything left over give it to Omaha." There was nothing left over to amount to anything. "The fact of the matter Is," said a mem ber of the winning faction, "the Douglas bunch came In here when we went to or ganize with the dirtiest tactics known In politics, and won out. They expected to do the same thing In naming committees, and got fooled. We farmers know how to get together occasionally, even If we were not prepared when the organization was af fected. We treated Omaha fairly enough, and a whole lot better than the delegation deserved." The minority report Holmes Is talking about. It is predicted, will never be made to the caucus.

Elguttor read a paper on the subject of "A Citizen of the United States." He showed that the constitution while It provided for the government for tho citizens of ths United States, it did not de fine the qualifications of a citizen, nor did It make any provision therefor. He held that the question of citizenship was a matter wholly within the province of the several states, and elaborated upon the peculiar distinction between territorial and stato citizenship. "The status of United States citizenship was materially changed by the Dred Bcott decision " said ho, "and was again completely changed by the adop tion of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution, which gave the right of citizenship to the negro, but even then did not change the reletion of the dual citizen ship aa shown in national and state citizen ship. Citizenship comes through the states and not through the nation, although thi strong arm of the national government Is at all times ready to protect and assert the national citizenship wherever the rights of the citizen are menaced." A vote of thanks waa extended Mr. El gutter for his paper and a motion mas adopted that more of such papers be lead before the assoclat'on. Tho retiring president, Mr. Gosa. thanked the association for Its loyal support and courtesy during the year, stating that the honor of presiding over the association was ono that he would always cherish.
