HE PEV1EW OF
The. Bryan-Irish debate on the 4th
was a revival of the excitement of 120
years ago on the same day In July.
The auditorium at Crete holds about
four thousand people and the "stand
ing room only" sign was put up and
taken down again. One. end of the
shed, which is all that the auditorium
Is, is filled up by a platform which ex
tends across It from side to side. The
roof and pillars are painted white so
that the Interior is lighted by reflected
and twice reflected light. The open
sides of the shed are so low that only
the grass and trees are visible from the
Inside. Even on the sunniest day,
therefore, the light in the pavlllion is
grateful. The platform that Alls the
end of the shed was filled with two or
three hundred people, most of whose
faces are familiar to Lincoln people.
Nobody was sure that in a few days
one of the debaters would not be the
nominee of a great party for president.
All the interest that a people feels in
the heir apparent this audience felt
hi looking at Mr. Bryan. He was not
self-conscious under the scrutiny, but
bore it with a dignity that showed him
not unfitted, so far as aspect goes, for
the office which, if a democrat should
fill it, Nebraska republicans would be
pleased, in spite of party, to see Mr.
Bryan fill. Mr. Irish looked stern and
determined. While his opponent was
speaking his lips were set firmly to
gether and he looked mad; so did the
solid gold advocates who came up
from Lincoln. Mr. Harwood. Mr. Whe
don, Mr. Low, Mr. Wing and Mr.
Burnham. None of Mr. Bryan's sallies
and flashes amused them. So far as
they were concerned, white cotton
gloves, crepe hat bands and Mr. J.
Sterling Morton would have added
only to the funereal aspect. Their
gioom would have satisfied the spec
tacular love of mourning Inherent in
an Irishman or a darkey. On the other
side Mr. Bryan was flanked by vocifer
ous silver men that laughed on both
sides and yelled for Mr. Bryan only.
The latter's large, regular features are
fitted for the stage. He is at his best
when opposed, though after speaking
for a few moments he controls the
audience, whether it be of his own
rolltical faith or not. His absolute
control of the situation, nettled Mr.
Irish, who was somewhat at a disad
vantage, having just arrived from
California. Probably no orator in the
country has the coolness and the skill
to turn unfortunate remarks and ac
cidents to his own advantage that Mr.
Bryan has. If he should ever be
elected president some of the most im
portant rights granted by the people
to individuals might change hands'. It
is just such men as the laboring man
discontented with his position and
anxious to select representatives who
will listen to his side of the story.
Attention to their complaints may
cause changes, which, of course, are
to be deplored. A matter of such na
tional Importance as the grass around
the "White house might be overlooked
by a man like Mr. Bryan. He would
listen to what an army of tramps had
to say just for the sake of appear
ances and because they were men.
Such a course would be destructive to
the peace that it is desirable to main
tain. "Every man in his place" is the
only rule for quiet, though only a few
are brave enough to announce it.
Except the pyrotechnics inside the
auditorium on the afternoon of the
fourth there were none to be heard
on the grounds. The Chautauqua
small boy was content with very few
and small firecrackers, which, of
course, he had set off long before noon
time. Today, Wednesday the 8th, is the
first day that rain has fallen. The
grounds are In good shape. The grass
Is at Its thickest, the foliage as its
thickest.. Ornithologists say that there
are more birds In Nebraska than in
any other one state of the union. Most
of thpm have come to Chautauqua. I
have had the pleasure of meeting Mr.
Brown Thrush, as well as
hundreds of sparrows, wrens, meadow
larks, martens, robins, orioles, and
a humming bird or two, besides others
In the woods that hide or skim by too
rapidly for recognition.
Superintendent Scott is lecturing on
the later Bible writing done, more
especially by the Germans. Dr. Scott
is a clear and concise thinker and his
addresses are shaped by these qualities.
His speeches have body, a head and
extremities. He has read the later
German, English and Scotch writers
on the Bible. The attitude of the Ger
man religious mind on biblical subjects
Is sincere, at the same time reverent.
It is critical to the extent of rejecting
the errors due to an oriental imagina
tion and the crudeness of a very early
people, and accute enough to appre
ciate the unique greatness of Christ's
character.
Dr. Scott, with the face of an ascetic,
has a spirit steeped In kindness. The
aroma of it fills the consciousness
when he speaks.
In spite of the hard times the as
sembly is coming out ahead this year.
Mr. Welch has advertised It better
than in previous years and the pro
gram is better.
The grounds are beautiful and ex
cept for the rain of Wednesday the
weather has been delightful.
The Slayton jubilee singers are very
pleasing when they sing darkey songs.
The sentimental, however, seems to be
as irresistible to them as to the. Telyn
quartet, who seem to think love the
only lyric S. B. H.

The readers of this paper will be
pleaeedto learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
.he medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treateuient. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
cting adirectly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disea
se, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work
The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers, that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case that
it fails to cure. Send for list of Testi-
monals.
