BRYAN HAS A SCHEn5E.
J. S. Van Antwerp, the Washington
correspondent of the Minneapolis Jour
nal, sends his paper this interesting
piece of -political news:
"It is asserted by those who ought to
be well posted that Mr. Bryan has been
fomenting strife between the two wings
of the democracy in New York for a
purpose. It is very well understood by
all in any way conversant in political
affairs that Mr, Croker intends to use
all of his great power in the interest of
an anti-Bryan delegation to the demo
cratic national convention. If he suc
ceeds, as he probably will, there will
be seventy-two votes from New York
opposed to the renomination of the 16
to I candidate. Seventy-two votes will
have an important bearing upon the
action of the convention, especially if
the two-thirds rule is adhered to.
"It is understood to he the purpose
of the Bryan men to send a contesting
delegation to the convention, and this
contesting delegation can be seated by
a majority vote. It will be recalled
that there were several such contests in
the Chicago convention of 1896, which
resulted in giving the seats to the sil
verites. If Bryan can keep up the con
troversy between the two factions of
the deriocratic party in New York,
known as the ten-dollar men and the
one-dollar men. during the next twelve
months, there will be little difficulty
in carrying out this scheme. It follows,
then, that if the Bryanites can succeed
in capturing a majority of the delegates
from the other states they will be able
to override the will of the majority of
the New York organization and to seat
seventy-two men favorable to the re
iteration of the principles set forth in
the democratic platform of 1896. The
scheme is a pretty one and Bryan un
doubtedly has friends enough through
out the state to insure its success, pro
vided, of course, that he is able to hold
together enough of his friends through
out the country generally to give him a
majority of the cbnvention to start
with."
It was the north side of Billings
which elected a south side mayor yes
terday, but the interests of the city will
not suffer on that account. Billings
has now reached that point in its de
velopment where both sides are sure to
prosper and the rivalry that has existed
between the two sections of the city
should be buried forever. A good
mayor and boird of aldermen have been
elected and there is no doubt that they
will pull together for the material
growth of Billings as a whole.
W. B. George has not lost his cun
ning in local politics, even though he
was defeated last fall. He gets the
credit for electing both the mayor and
city treasurer; he gets into business by
taking charge of the Sperry stock, pur
chased by Yegen Bros., and he also
won a watch on a wager. Yesterday
was sure a big day for Mr. George,
who, besides accomplishing what is
enumerated above, also "got even" for
certain work done against him at the
last election.
The robbins have appeared, this is a
warm bright day and spring appears to
have at last arrived. The robbins,
however, are provided with overcoats
and arctics as a precaution and a howl
ing blizzard is liable to be in progress
before the ink on this type can dry.
There's no telling what freaks the
weather will play this season, but we
venture the guess that the backbone of
winter is now badly bent, anyhow.
Marshal Jack Bond, who has given
universal satisfaction during the short
time be has held the position, deserves
reappointment at the hands of the new
City administration. He is the right
man in the right place and Mayor-elect
Yegen will make a mistake if he con.
templates making a change in thl
marshalship.
One of the crying needs of this city ii
e-arve the street crossings raised or the
grade lowered, so that pedestrians wil
bot be compelled to wade ankle deep ii
mud for' several months in the year
Mayon eleot Yegen can popularize hi
tion by giving this matte
sidiate attention.
T:eD news comes from the
~s~ J e has re
FBi
pineos are discouraged and ready to
surrender. Now if Senator Hoar of
Ma bchusetts can be prevailed upon to
accept .the situation, it is confidently
believed that the end of the war is in
sight.
Mayor Smith feels. that he has fought
a good fight and given the city a sewer
age system aganist which there can be
no kick and which cost less than the
estimate.
Judge Matheson feels like his light
was bid under a bushel when he re
alizes that he was beaten only six votes.
Dr. Rinehart says he is classed
among those who also ran.

The Northwestern is now using a
new form of round-trip ticket for
which it is claimed that it cannot be
scalped. The purchaser gets the entire
ticket with the exception of a contradt
governing the return passage. This
goes by mail to the agent at destination
of the going trip. The ticket holder
must call for his contract and have it
attached to his coupons before the re
turn portion is good for passage. This
attachment is not made until the agent
has satisfied himself that the person ap
plying is entitled to it. As the return
portion must be used at once, there is
no opportunity of manipulation by
brokers.
A legislative committee, appointed to
investigate to what extent free railroad
transportation was used by public offi
eials of Nebraska, has reported that
many state officials, including the sec
retary of state and attorney general,
habitually ride on passes, but they
could not find that these officials, with
the exception of the oil inspector,
charged the state mileage for their free
trips. Testimony was reported show
ing that John F. Cornell, the auditor
of public accounts, had during the past
two years, for the use of himself,
friends and relatives, transportation ag
gregating in value the sum of $20,000;
that special trains have been furnished
in some instances to officials without
charge, for the use of themselves, their
friends and families; that the accoan
inodations furnished were all that any
person could desire, not only for travel
in Nebraska, but also in South Dakota;
and that the trips taken were not on
business connected with the state, but
simply pleasure-junket trips.
The Northern Pacific has commenced
extensive alterations in its yard in Mis
soula with a view of putting in a num

C. Maring, who held the strings as aot

Assistant General Superintendent G.
W. Rhoades of Lincoln, Master Me
