Foreign capital lied our shores not he-
O.IUSP of any danger cf bankruptcy upon
the part of tlio government or of the or
dinary cltlr.cn ; there never was any real fear
of that , but because foreign capitalist ! ! h.ut
found out by sad experience tlmt thousands
of wind-blown and water-soaked corpora
tions were Ilotmderlng In present or threat
ened with prospective bankruptcy , spread
ing the contagion of disaster upon every
hand A vicious system of ovor-capltallza-
tlon and fraudulent valuation had made It
easy for dishonest corporations to mortgage
the credit of the future for the prollt of the
present and to piano the burden of It all
upon the labor which operated and the pub
lic fiat must support them. Upon a moun
tain of debt we built a fabric of credit that
Toll at the llrst alarm. The credit of thn
country was lost through the Napoleons of
Una nee ; It remained for the honest yeo
manry of tint land to redeem It. The com
mon peoplu havn always been the bulwark
of thu nation's honor in tlmo of war ; they
proved themselves the real foundation of
her credit and prosperity lirtlme of peace.
The lesson that Jackson's successful life

faith enough In the American people , I still
have faith enough In the Html triumph of
right and Justice over wrong and oppression
to bt'Hovo that some day In the not fur dis

to the people these rights that have bee-n

of humanity ; we must got down to the great
undercurrent In the tldo of business If we
would sound its real depth.
Wo have had a late example of the real
foundation of all credit and permanent pros
perity at our very doors. The. people of Ne
braska were told thut they would lese their
credit nnd were threatened that they would
lie loaned no more money If they should dare
to declare for bimetallism. Hut the umin-
Hnrrublo logic of experience has proved that
wli.it wo needed was not the ability to Lpr-
row money , but a prlco for our products that
would onnlilo ns to pay what wo had al-
icady borruwed not thu golden glitter of a
specious promise , but tlio sterling silver of
actual fulllllment.
.Money quit coming to the west long before
the Issues of the last campaign were made
up and not because Investors 'Wore afraid
vi > wore going to-ipay them In silver dollars ,
but because they had found out that under
thn conditions then existing wo could not
strike off from our struggling prosperity the
shackles of gold th.it bind her down and
restore once more the .purity of popular gov
ernment , the equality of all men before the
law and the civic patriotism of the. days of
Andrew Jackson.
REGRETS FROM BRYAN.
'Before ' announcing the next toast Mr. Dunn
lead the regrets of Mr. Ilryan. This way re
ceived with another round of applause , which
wad Intensified whtti ox-Governor Stcno was
IntroJncod to speak on ' 'Business and Poll-
tics. " The banqueters rose to their fee ; to
welcome tiie speaker anJ gave liberal and
voi-lfcroua endorsement to his sentiments ,
Governor Stone responded as follows :
I nndestand that gentbmen arc pres
ent tonight who are prominently Identified
with the Krcat business ) interests of this
section. To thorn. cBnoclally. I wish to ad
dress wlmt little I have to say. 1 am
Induced to do this because nowadays wo
hear so much about what the business In
terests of the country demand. If It 1)0 )
true , as I hear It Is , th.it business men
Intend to take a more active part in po-
| lltlcnl affairs than thoyi have heretofore , I
am glad of It. Itunlness men should study
public questions with the greatest care , und
personally aid In correctly solving them.
They should become an active , practical
fores In shaping both party nnd public
policies. Kvory consideration of duty , pub
lic and private , requires that much of
them. From tlmt standpoint I wish to ad
dress myself to business men tonight. The
real business Interests of the country
should bo the especial care of icovcrnmont :
for every sensible man must recognize that
national greatness and the welfare of the
pcoplu nre ordinarily more dependent upon
prosperous conditions than upon anything
else. Kverythlng possible should be done
to promote thu business Interests and noth
ing done to their detriment that can bo
avoided. This being true , the whole coun
try should welcome business men Into the
domain of nctlvo politics , when they come
not to promote * selfish ends , but to servo
their country In the spirit of patriotism ,
. Whoever takes part In public affairs to ad-
I vance a special Interest , without regard to
the general good , Is actuated by unworthy
motives , and Is not a sufo adviser. Selfish
counsel Is rarely safe or wise counsel , The
highest duty of every citizen , especially of
every public man , It to Improve constantly
the moral tonn of the nation and to In
tensify the spirit of patriotism by excit
ing lofty Ideals among the people. What
ever tends to the debasement of public
morals or to lowering the standard of po
litical Integrity ; whatever tends to woakcn
our Institutions of government , or to lessen
respect for public authority should bo re
garded with uncompromising disfavor. ,
No stress of political exigency , no. possi
ble condition of circumstances , will war
rant a resort to methods which degrade
politics or which destroy the faith of the
people In the honor , dignity and patriotism
of their government , The publlo good by
which I mean that which most strength
ens our Institutions nnd contributes most
to the happiness of the greatest number-
should bo the incentive to political action ,
and. therefore , the standpoint from which
publlu questions should bo examined. I
would like to nay , If I can without offense ,
thut I sometimes fear thut many men , par
ticularly business men , enter upon the
study of publlo questions predisposed to
certain opinions , and that they prosecute
their Investigations nioro to sustain thoao
opinions , which are often based on personal
considerations , than to develop the real
truth ami roach correct conclusions Ac
tive business men perform a wonderful
work In national development , and they nro
entitled to high respect nnd consideration ,
both because of their Intelligence and en
terprise but It U natural for such men , ab
sorbed wltli their own undertakings , which
often Involve much hazard und always

much of labor , to view public qusstlons
from the somewhat narrow standpoint of
their own environments. I flo not say that
this Is always true , for It Iq not ; far from
it ; but 1 do say I fear that such is often
the case. And having said this much , I
will venturti further to add , that n selfish
Investigation of public questions Is nearly
always superficial , and , therefore , Is really
worse than none at all. I think It true
that none nro better qualified to study and
comprehend business conditions und to sug-
tcst wise policies for their betterment than
practical business men ; but ncvortlVesa
when they como unselfishly to the con
scientious study of public questions solely
from the standpoint of the public good
they encounter the same difficulties that
embarrass others when they enter upon
similar Investigations. There Is no mo
nopoly of truth , nor royal road by which
It can bo reached. It can be reached only
through patient , honest and patriotic study.
This way Is open to all alike , but practical
experience Is a grtiit afd to the conscien
tious student. 1 lutro Is snub diversity In
the vast'business ' Interests of this country ,
and the relations different Inteivsts bear
to each other are so complicated , that
what may sometimes be considered ad
vantageous to ono may In fact be more
or less damaging to another. No legitimate
business should be Injured , nor ono In
dustry built up at the expense of another ,
If It can bo avoided. This cannot always
bo wholly avoided , but us far us It can be
lt should be.
Looking to the future , I Invoke the busi
ness men hero and elsewhere to take up
the study of public questions In a calm ,
prosaic , dispassionate way , with a view
of advancing' the genuine business Interests
of the country ; and I hope that hereafter
they will speak for themselves , If this In
done I feel thd utmost confidence that thu
more thoughtful , Independent und patriotic
representatives of the great industrial In-
teresu of the nation will Identify them
selves with that old historic party once led
by that illustrious American whoso most
notable military achievement we celebrate
lull If JH.
GRAHAM'S SPEECH.
At the conclusion of Governor Stone's ad-
drcts the guests rose again to cheer him and
then J. A. Graham of St. Loula was Intro
duced to represent ) "Tho Proas , " Ho caught
the humor of his audience with a couple of
apt anecdotes and In a more serious vein he
said :
Any democrat who has always called
himself a Jacksonlan might bo proud to
stand before an organization which repre
sents a remarkable democracy In u remark
able commonwealth. All of us In other
states feel that thertt must bo a something
unusual about the Nebraska democracy ,
since It could plcto out , In his earliest man
hood a political Alexander nnd raise him
to a position where a nation could ace
the powers of leadership that jnaku him a
worthy successor of Jefferson and Jackson.
Iti Isi still more a matter of pride that tome
mo Is assigned the most Important thcmu
at hla banquet. To mnku such a claim
would on moat occasions be , perhaps , a
shocking display of braggart Impudence ,
but before a company met to celebrate a
memorable epoch of practical democracy , It
1s a statement of plain truth , and there
Is ( more than empty professional vanity In
offering you that form of acknowledgment.
The toast Is the most Important because
thu press Is the most Important agent of
democracy. What U has done , what , It can
do and what It will do are the history , the
situation and thu destiny- the democratic
party.
Without a newspaper press , n monarchy
can nourish , and nourish the better. Without -
out a newspaper preen , an aristocracy can
hold Its own for centuries , disputed only
by Its 0wn jealousies , anil never troubled
by the Interests of the mussra. But there
can b ca democratic government without
a nowspipft ? i 5r. A of wldo circulation

cratic principles .ir not n w , They nre

Is n domorr.fay In nctlVo control oT govern-
mmt und soMety. Such a democracy exists
only In America , and It was born only
when our ffrnndfathcrs were allvo. The
democratic party , the organization through
which the democracy acts , took form with
the appearance'f/ llrst modern news-
pa | > or , nlmoMxlictly 100 yenrs ago. Together -
gether , from that time , democracy and the
press have brotlossed and developed , ono
Indispensable to the other.
1 do not ! J1K11L' ' < for territorial conquest

Jncksonlnn spirit which htinjr British splfs
when they made themselves overt enemies
to this nation , nnd mut the flower of the
British army beside the Mlrslsslppl on the
dny wo celebrate. If wo are to bo defied , I
would have the dcnibcrntle party , nnd no
other , the first to ring back defiance , lllcti
the smitten shield of nn Invincible hero.
If foreign Insolence has taken n vow to
spit upon the American flap , I would have
the democratic press , the democratic party ,
pound the trumpet that calls the n 'ople !
build the navy that will humble the In-
suiter ; If It takes a thousand battleships
and a billion of money. 1 would hnvo the
Jncksonlan pr ss and the Jncksonlan party
send to the uttermost parts of the earth
the refrain of the Jncksonlan jK > ct :
"First on the land and llrst on the ocean ,
Klrw of the rainbow and banner of stars. "
K. C. Page of Omaha spoke of "Ncbriska
Under the Now Regime. " Ho decl.ireJ . that
sltico the beghmlns of this regime the war
rants of the state had dropped the sackcloth
and aalmi of republican discount and donnc.l
the bright colors of fusion premium. In the
next national contest Nebraska would play Its
I rt under Its great leader and In tiio mean
time , with Ita sunshine and rain and beau
tlful harvests , 'It wcnld do Its best to nuke
the world happy.
At this Juncture Governor Holeonvb was
Introduced and spoke .briefly. . Ho commented
with some satire ou the position ot Presi
dent Cleveland and the gold democrats and
aroused 'the enthusiasm of his audience by a
comparison between the presidential ombl
tlons of ( Andrew Jackson and those of W. J.
IJryan. He called attention to the fact that
Jackson was unsuccessful In his first effort
to gain the presidency and declared 'that llko
Jackson Bryan would ride Into the White
House at his second trial.
"Our Future Course" was the subject of a
very vigorous speech by W. II. Thompson of
Grand Island , In thq course cf which he said :
The Wattorsons nro coming homo with
the Blnckburns , and the Cookrnns ara goIng -
Ing homo with the 'Plaits. ' He who coined
the "Ethereal Mermaid , " lies burled under
the November snow , and ho who talks
"anarchy" Is left lonely and alone. We
have captured Nebraska and we will hold
It. We are after Oiilo and will have- .
The present alignments must not be broken ,
no change should be attempted until the
enemy's guns ( ire spiked and side arms
surrendered. Until the people's cause lias
won and our foes disbanded. He who be
lieves that the battle cannot longer be con
tinued with three columns confronting the
enemy democrat , populist and free silver
republican overestimates the greed of
huniun nature and underestimates their
patriotism. Becomes frightened nt the
whirlwind and runs at sight of a summer's
cloud. Heeds tlio. roar of a billow nnd for
gets the stable ocean. A cause that Is Just
can be trusted In the bands of the many.
An unjust c.tuse needn a czar. Little per
sonal jealousies and ambitions may como
as the tides , but they will be lulled Into
slumber by grander thoughts nnd aspira
tions. The strength of no part of this grand
army should Induce It to forget Its duty
to the others. In the future ns In the past
all should be recacnlzcll nnd consulted In
party councils. . NO ono line of the battle
of ' 00 should be } surrendered or abandoned.
Duty calls each' to action. Are we ready ?
Wo will meet Secretary Gage's plan ot
finance , gold and banks , by that of frep
coinage and greenbacks. Tlio one means
the control and prosperity of the few , the
other , freedom of the many.
G , M. Hitchcock ppoke on "Government by
Injunction" and T , J. Nolan toasted "Tho
JaclcEonlans" is follows :
It Is a morn pleading thing to turn from
Douglas county politics to state politics.
The Jacksonlan club tonight .stamps with
its approval the , vigilant and faithful ad
ministrations ' of Gbvernor Holcomb. In
every slat'e ofHcii as" now" filled we find'
abundant reason to congratulate the people.
And when the attorney general's office
shall have flushed Ita labor of sep.irntlng-

only one request to make of Senator Thurs-
ton's successor , and that Is this : that he

dangerous nnd more probable than that
of war.

CHICAGO , Jan. 8. A best of democrats ,
qulto a number pf them from Iowa , Indlini !
and Wisconsin , celebrated Jackson day by r
banquet at the Trcmant house this evening.
W , J. Bryan was the principal guest. Nearly
COO were isez'cd at the banquet.- Mayor Harrison
risen presided and acted as toastma ter.
Mr. Bryan spoke In part as follows :
If our enemies boast that they have
burled bimetallism , we point to the wage
reductions as the weeping willows which
have sprung up about Its temporary tomb.
Why Is not some court asked to enjoin
thu employers from uniting' together to re
duce wages ? Can combinations among em
ployers be innocent If co-operation among
miners Is a crime ? In most of the fac
tories can bo found transparencies and
banners promising good times. The mill
owners would probably dispute the right
01' a court of equity to Interfere and plead
us a defense that the operatives have an
adequate remedy In the bnllot.
A few days ago an association of mill own
ers tried to Justify 11 reduction of wages
by laying the blame upon the laws passed
In Massachusetts for the protection of the
operatives. Their complaint Is significant ,
bcutise It emphasizes the reactionary tend

the star attraction , nt the IJoyd theater next
Wednesday evening , Maximilian Dick , the
violin virtuoso. Not only Is Dick accounted
a thorough artist , but ho Is-eminently pop
ular. Ho haa a mastery of his Instrument
and there Is something In the man , distinct
from his violin , which thoroughly pleases an
audience. There Is a color , a warmth of
feeling and a robustness to his playing , and
no matter how severely classical his selec
tions , the singular clearness of his rendition
arrests the attention of every cor. The so
loists who wifl usalst In the concert nre
Miss Isabelle Dratnober , the celebrated bal
lad singer , and Miss Gcorglclln Lay , accom
panist. The program has been arranged
with r. view of suiting a miscellaneous audi
ence. The Mondamln Choral society will
sin ; : three numbers.
The work of organizing the National Con
gress of Musicians , to be beld ID this city
next summer , Is progressing rapidly , and has
met with nothing hut enthusiastic apprecia
tion so far. Of course much was done In
N'ow York last cmmmor to prepare for such
i congress and a continuous correspondence
since has kept the matter In mind. Tlie
muslcluua cf the oist had come to look upon
the exposition as sure to be a great power
for the development of the art , but the delay ,
which they have been utterly unable to un
derstand , that has allowed more tbin four
months to bo wasted , has shaken somewhat
their confidence in the final outcome. It
still remains to be seen whether or not the
exposition will have a musical department
equal to the opportunities for good that ex
isted last September. So far the congress
Is the only step In advance.
.Mr. . Ad. M. Fouster of Plttsburg haa been
Invited and has accepted n plnco on the com
mittee and will represent Pennsylvania , West
' Virginia and Ohio ohd look after the Inter-
cats of the musicians In those states. Mr.
Fouster is one of the leading American com
posers , his works embracing the higher
forms of musical composition and being fre
quently played by Seitll , Thomas nnd Dam-
rosch , also In Europe. A year ago he man
aged the Sangerfest at Pittsburg , which
brought thousands of German singers to
that city and was set down as one of the
greatest successes ever experienced by the
numerous singing societies that took part.
Mr. Fouster will be present at the congress
and sonio of his compositions will be per
formed.
Mr. A. J. Goodrich of Chicago has con
sented to prepare and deliver an address
on the "Relativity of Tone. " Mr. Goodrich Is
America's leading writer on musical theory
anil lila \vorka are considered to bo authori
ties en both sides of the Atlantic. A recent
number of Godoy's magazine said : "Mr. A. J.
Goodrich has made .himself perhaps the most
advanced of living writers on the theory of
music , which is certainly a large contribu
tion to the solidity of our attainments , for
ho Is recognized abroad as ono of the lead
ing spirits of his time. "
With such men as Sherwood , Forester tad
Goodrich working for the high standing of
the musical congress It will behoove the
musical department of the exposition to look
to Itself , as comparisons may not be pleasant.
Neither legend or history speaks of a na
tion or tribe without music. Thc-lrs may
have been hut the clapping of bauds and the
rylhtnlcal recitation of meaningful words ,
but to them It was music and It told the
story of their heart's Inmost emotions. Lis

breaking 'the silence only to lead the spirit
Into deeper peace : llko a leaden cloud at
morn , rising In gray twilight to hang as n
golden mist before the furnace of the sun :
like the dull , deep pain of ono who sits In an
empty room , watching the shadows of to !
firelight , full of memories : like the plaint
of souls that are wasted with sighing : llko
peans of exalted praise : like sudden .songs
from the open gates of paradise so Is

In a trance : like ono who sees the thick fog

the warm midsummer air toward the pearo-
ful valleys below , and , feeling himself buoyed
up with wings that suddenly fall him.

so Is he who can listen and understand. "
Music la more than a succession of sounds ,
even though the majority of mankind never
becomes able to perceive anything more than
that In It. Hut'If the musleally uneducated
ore mi a bio to detect much of the Inner spirit
of a great work , they can feel Ita in > nterlons
Influence. What we know U only a small
par ( of our earthly experience. ? ; what we
feel fills a largo part of our lives and every
one , no matter how untrained In music , can
feel Ita Influence. Mualc , after all , la a con-
dltlon of the mind. Sound Is nothing but the
vibration of the air , a moving to and ifro
of an aggregation of oxygen and nitrogen.
Can any one say that &uch a inovtaR of life
less , BoullcEa particles of on utterly un
known substance la the power that has hold
all the tribes and nations of the earth In
Its mighty graep ? Science toys that without
an ear to hear there is eio sound ; It saya
that sound La a condition of the mind a
mental state. If this IB so music Is a menial
state am ! It follows that the more exalted
thu state which a mind can assume the more
exalted Its music may 'be ,
It follows from IhU that , although every
mind must have some musical Instinct and
bo able to dcrlvo some enjoyment from mel
ody and "harmony , yet that enjoyment Is In
proportion to ono's appreciation and this
being the case It 'Is well worth vsiillo to de
velop the musical mltiU , If for no other rea
son than 'to Increase our ability to enjoy the
things of the world In which wo lire.
To scnio the quotation above will round
exaggerated and overdrawn , but It U certain
tlmt many people ore affeetel by music to
quite as great en extent. In Europe , where
the chlldrcti are brought up oil It and early
learn to express their feelings through It ,
euch words would not acorn exaggerated , for
each ono could find In his own experience
memories that were equally Intense and un-
tbuelasins that were qutto as unfettered , If
then wo do not see all the beauty claimed
for the divine art , It may bo wise and well
to wait a little and take the tlmo to grow
