WMte Ho-use Concarts - The Marine' Band and Sousa's Succeas-Offlco-holding-'s Dark Side. Special Correspondence. The concerts of the Marine band giv en in the White House grounds have been resumed, and every Saturday aft ernoon a great throng gathers to listen to Professor Fanciulli and his merry men. The concerts are free. So are the . concerts at the Marine barracks given by the band every Thursday. These concerts are given by the direction of the secretary of the navy, and they are a part of the duty of the bandsmen. It is significant of the ungratefulness of the people of Washington that when the Marine band has tooted for them with out charge all summer they decline to pay 25 or 50 cents to hear it play at in door concerts in the winter. The bandsmen are not well paid. They receive the pay of the Marine corps enlisted men, and they have the privilege of making outside engage ments and earning an occasional dollar in concerts and at balls. The band is not the concert attraction that it was when Sousa led it. Possibly this is due in great measure- to the fact that the new leader has not had time to become a local character, as Sousa waa Sousa's Great Success. Sousa was very popular in Washing ton, and thousands of people there re joiced in his success. Few of them know that at one time a few years ago he was on the verge of failure. In the first season of his independent band his manager became discouraged and said he was ready to give up. He had lost a large sum, and he thought the enter prise was a failure. Sousa shook his three year contract under the manager's nose and said he thought the band would go on. It did go on, with amaz ing success. Sousa's income now is from $12,000 to $15,000, not counting the royalties from his opera. A Few Official Perquisites. Whenever an entertainment is given at the White House or the house of a cabinet officer, the Marine band is called out officially, and it plays for nothing. This is only one of the perquisites of the administrative establishment. The pres ident's horses are fed by the govern ment. Secretary Carlisle and some of the other cabinet people ride in car riages for which the government has paid. The government greenhouses are at the disposal of the cabinet people to furnish flowers or plants for decoration. And then there is for the secretary of the navy and his assistant the fleet of government ships on which "inspection tours" are made during the hot months. These "tours" lead inevitably to New port, Bar Harbor and other fashionable places. Secretary Carlisle spends his summer with his family cruising about on a revenue cutter. Already these cabinet people have be gun to get away, and soon there will be only a few high officials left The ab sence of the cabinet people will make life no easier for the government clerks. They used to have a half holiday on very warm summer days, but this ad ministration has laid down the law that clerks must work at least from 9 o'clock to 4 o'clock, with half an hour for din ner. That is not a very long time, but the clerks are not at all reconciled to doing without their summer half holi days. The Government Clerk. The lot of the, government clerk is not very happy, and for this the clerk is not altogether to blame. Every year thousands of young men and women living in small communities who are looking longingly toward Washington write to the civil service commission, asking how they can obtain government clerkships. Several men who know this turn it to profit by advertising "institutes" to prepare applicants for the civil service examination. In their circulars they describe Wash ington as a paradise and represent the salaries of government office as large and the work as easy. A salary of $1,500 or $1,800 seems magnificent to some peopla They don't stop to think that what is affluence in a small commu nity may be poverty in Washington. Everything you buy is more costly in Washington than it is in almost any other city of the United States. Living in a spendthrift atmosphere, the clerk is very likely to contract expensive hab its, and after a time the $1,500 which seemed so large wheri he came to Wash ington becomes much too small for his requirements. Then there comes an evil day, when he loses his place in the de partment. His experience there has taught him nothing useful, and he finds himself adrift with a $1,500 spending capacity and the ability to earn possi bly $1,000 a year. Perhaps he is man enough to go back home and start in again on the old basis. Perhaps he joins the little army of hangers on who in fest the lobbies of the Washington ho tels. Washington is full of broken down clerks waiting for reinstatement. And if he does not lose his place? He probably saves nothing from year to year, and when he dies charitable friends may interest themselves to get a department place for his widow a place in which she can earn just enough to keep her children in iood and dom ing and send them to the public schools. More to Follow. But the rosy side of department life is the one most people see. So I suppose we will have the usual throng of place seekers among us "next March when the new president is inaugurated. There will not be as much to hope for then as there was three years ago. President Cleveland has put almost all the govr eminent offices under civil service rules, and. "influence" will be at a discvont here next March. - Cam. Schofield.

SHORT NEWS Bribed In Spite of Htm self-Honor Were Easy A Novel Bath Undoubt edly Quiescent. There was an honest member from western state in congress last session, but how he got there has always been a mystery. It is needless to say he was not returned. A certain railroad bill was nn. anrl the corporation's reoresentativn an. proached this member with an offer of $500 for his vote. The honest solnn flew into a passion and declared -that, whatever had been his nrevions intn- T tion, he would now vote against the measure from principle. Said he : "If fraudulent means are beinc em ployed to pass the measure, I'll use mv --Luuenue to aeieac it. Later in the day he was approached by a second lobbyist. "I understand," said he, "that you do not approve of the pending railroad measure?" ' 'Oh, I like the measure well enough, but" "I see," said the lobbyist, construing iiio uiaiiuvr into a run fnr a v,-iv Well, now. we will civs von isnn if you will vote against it. " With this the member arose and strode up and down the room in right eous indignation. "Can such things be?" he exclaimed. "What a state of rottenness is this!" Then, turning fiercely to his visitor, he said sternly : "Sir, your room is preferable to your presence. ' ' The lobbyist withdrew, but the hon est member's heart was completely bro ken when, an hour afterward, someone, he never knew who, offered him $1,000 not to vote at all. Washington Times. This Snake a Sprinter. Eddie Johnson is a young Jackson ville bootblack. Eddie is a first class adept at shining shoes, and he has made many a nickel and dime in this way. He is also a pretty good sprinter, as most negro boys are at his age, but he was outrun the other day, and now he wears a bandage around "his left ankle and walks with a limp. It all happened in this way : Eddie was out at Villa Maynard, admiring, the bicycle track and wishing that he could ride as fast as his namesake, John S. Johnson. He says that he is no relation to the invin -cible Johnson, however, " 'Cause he's white and I'm black." However this may be, while Eddie was standing gaz ing wistfully at the track, a big black snake had his eyes fixed on Eddie. The boy saw the snake, and he started to run. The snake has been so accustomed to seeing the riders "sprint" on the track that it concluded to try its powers, and to Eddie's dismay the snake showed considerable speed. Eddie ran as fast as his legs could cany him, and the snake followed. Finally the boy's wind gave out, and the snake caught up with him and took hold of his ankle in a playful mood. Of course the bite wasn't poison ous, but it is somewhat painful, and Ed die is now hobbling around on one foot. He is still doing the "shine" act just the same. Florida Citizen. Honors Were Easy. A Parisian journalist recently wrote a rather unfavorable criticism of the performance of a well known actress. The latter was keenly wounded and watched for a chance to avenge herself. She was one evening at the Varieties, with a young aristocrat for an escort, when she espied the critic. She had a package with her, which she requested her friend to deliver in person. The dandy rose, and, taking the pack age, walked over to where the journal ist was sitting with a party and present ed it to him, saying : "Mademoiselle, who admires your talent, has requested me to present you with this as a souvenir from her. ' ' "The criticHook it and opened it be fore his friends, who had heard the dandy's little speech. It -contained about a dozen goose quills, and smiles and suppressed laughter went round. But the critic was equal to the occa sion. "Ah, my dear sir," said he to the messenger, "please give my best thanks to the young lady for these pretty feath ers. I was aware of the' fact tnat she plucked her admirers, bat I really did not imagine she did so on my account. " Tit-Bits. A Novel Bath. "I wanted a bath in a North Carolina hotel," said a well known traveling man the other day, "sol rang for the bellboy and asked him if they had a bathtub about the house. " 'Yes, sah. Nice ones, sah, ' he said. " 'Bring me one. ' "In a few minutes the boy returned, bringing on his shoulder a coffin, with silver plated handles and a lid all com plete. " 'What does that mean?' I asked in dignantly. " 'Dat's de bathtub, sah. De landlord used to be in de undertakin business, sah, and had some coffins when he took dis hotel. His son is a tinner, sah, an jess lined de coffins wid tin. Try it, boss. You'll find it berry nice. ' "Conquering my repugnance, I open ed the lid and found the coffin lined with tin, as stated, and I took the bath, but I didn't feel just right about it " Hardware. Undoubtedly Quiescent. Probably the incident that will be longest remembered in connection with Colorado Belforji's congressional career was his attack upon a Democratic mem ber of the house, concluding as follows:. "There he sits, Mr. Speaker!" ex claimed the red headed rooster of tho Rockies, pointing his finger at his Dem ocratic victim, "there he sits; mute, silent and dumb!" ' "Yea, Mr. Speaker," interrupted ai member of the Democratic side, "ana q ain't . saying A word." Pittsl VBXSi 13 L0(IISBUi.(j, K C, FRIDAY, JULY 17, i .. BUTAX. THE DKMOCRATIC i'kADKR.

Hf was taught under hm iuoth.T' 'iir. until he wart 10 years old. whia he went t th. public school at Salem, which h- atu-ndM for five years. At the ugv of 15 hf went to the Whipple academy in JaeksonviUe.

H.- rcpn Rentd his college in the interstate oratorical contest in 1SS0, and was ela-w orator and vale dictorian in 1881. He then went to th I'nion CJsge of Law in Chicago, and while in attend ance there was in the office of Lyn.n Trum bull. He left the law school .Tan Is. lSW. and went to Jacksonville io practice law, rem.i::iinc then till October, lSC, when he r.-m v.-d to Lincoln, Neb., going into partnership with A. li. Tull.t. a classmate of the law school. lie had tnU.-n part in political camiHUns since 1S-SI. and made a number of speeches. He took irt in th. campaign of 1W in Nebraska, and was n..:i:i nated to represent the First district in con.re in 1890. He was elected by the majority of ti.TK!, although the district had gone Republican hv 4,400, vhun Secretary Morton had lni de feated in 1888. and was thought to ! c.Tt.i::i; Republican. He supported Soring-T for sp.-ax.er in the Fifty-second congre-S. from wh-.e dis trict in Illinois he came originally. This l.d to hia being put on the ways and means .-oni.:i'.:-tee in congress, of which Springer was chair man, and on March 1'!, 1 rj, h,- i:,a le a ta.-.:7 speech that was the sensation of th- day and was liberally distributed as cam;iign "litera ture. He was re-electisl in HC. ni site of the fact that tire legislature had n-'h.strict.sl th state, and his district in the previous elect n, had given the Republican ticket !ut 6,0Uj majority. In the fifty-third congress Mr. Krvan h-l;xsl to frame the Wilson bill, U-inn a "member " the ways and means committee, and took an especially active part in the jneone- tax pro visions. At the close of the debate en the in come tax in congress, replying to Pmrk. Cochran, Aug. 17. lhs, at the spe:i! w-,;,. delivered a three hours' sp.s-ch against th' re peal of the Sherman law. this -,-.-ch l-ing more largely circulated than the tariff spe.--h hadb.'en. He nlso spoke in favor or the b'llto coin the seigniorage and spoke against ( ivrlisle's currency policy, as also against CU veld's gold contract with the Rothschild. In ISM he became a candidate tur the lnit-d Statea senate, and announced thai he would not be a candidate for the lower house of con gress. He was nominated for Uniti Stat-s senator in the Democratic convention, and the Populist candidate in his district was indorsed by the Democrats for the house of representa tives. The ensuing state legislature lcing R. publican. John M. Thurston, w:is sent to tie senate and the Republican candidate in his formoT congressional district. J. B. Strode, was elected by 5,000 majority. During all three of the campaigns he challenged the opposing can didate to a debate, and several discussions were held. After his retirement from congress he took up the practice of law in Lincoln again, but the silver campaign opening he found that the eails upon him for sjssyhes aud campaign work were so frequent that he was forced to give tip hi practice. In September. 1.SSM, he became the editor-in-ehief of the Omaha World-Herald, and had control of its editorial policy on state and national questions. Mr. Bryan is a man of small means. He was married Oct. 1, 1884. to Mary Rami, of Perry. His., who attended the female academy in Jacksonville when he was in the other school at the same place, and who graduate the same week that he did and was also the valediot. nan of her class. She studied law and was adnntt.s.1 to the bar, without any idea of practicing, but simply to be more thoroughly companionable to him. She is a year or two younger than he. Three children have tx-en born to them, Ruth. 10 years old; William J., Jr., a!ut 7, a.ni Grace, 5. Mr. Bryan is a Presbyterian, having joirusl the Cumberland Presbyterian church at the age of 14. He is now a m.-mix'r of the First Presbyterian church of Lincoln. His father was Silas L. Bryan, who was a circuit judge at the time of his son's birth, and served in that capacity from 150 t-o 1X72 on the l-neh of Ll!i nois. Judge Bryan moved on a farm a sJiort distance from Salem when his son v:i.s rt years old, and from that timo uutil he wa-, years old Bryan Hpent his summers on the farm. In 1872 his father ran for congress on the (ireeley ticket and was defeated by 240 votes. His fam ily comes from Virginia. His father was born in Culpepper county in that state, and died in Salem, Ills., in l.X. His mother, whose name was Maria Elizabeth Jennings, was xrn i:i Marion county. Illinois, and di.-d in Salem, a week ago last Saturday , aftr a protracted ill ness. In appearance Mr. Bryan is impressive, his face indicating intellectuality and power as well as good nature. There is a notable ab sence of the boyish look seen in the picture and lithographs of him which have leen circu lated. He is affable and kindly in manner, eas ily approachable, and does not lack dignity. In appearance he is an illustration of the fact that some men are never acoorded justice by a picture, which in his case does not prepare one for the expression of kcenrxus shown in his face. PLATFORM OF FKlXCirLKS. Pledge of the Democratic Party to th Voters of the Land. We, the Democrats of the United State, in national convention assembled, do reaffirm our allegiance to those great essential principles of justice and liberty upon which our Institutions are founded and which the Democratic party has advocated from Jefferson's time to our own freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of conscience, the preservation of per sonal rights, the equality of all citizens before the )&w and the faithful observance of consti tutional limitations. During all these years the Democratic party haa resisted the tendency of selfish intercetu to the centralization of governmental power, and steadfastly maintained the integrity of the dual scheme of government established by the founders of this republic of republic. Under its guidance and teachings the groat principle of local self government has found its best ex presxion in the maintenance of the rights of the states and La Its assertion of the neou-sity of confining the general government to the exer dm of the powers granted by the constitutioi of the United States. Becognizinghat the money question is para mount to all others at this time, we In rite at tention to the fact that the federal oonstit ution names silver and gold together as the money metal of the United States, and that the first coinage law paased by congress under the oon titution made the silver dollar the monetary unit, and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio baaed upon the silver unit. We are opposed to the policy and practice of surrendering to the holders of the obligation of the United States the option reserved by law o the government of redeeming such obliga tions La either silver coin or gold coin.
