New York, December 17. William Jennings' Brvan is in town. He was found last night. (Saturday) at the Bartholdi Hotel. Colonel Bryan declared himself an uncompromising op oonent of the McKioley policy of expansion, lie saia: - -WW " "It is too early at thistime to discuss party politics -for the presidential election of 1900, but I think the issues then will be free silver, anti-expansion, anti-.' imperialism and the rights of labor. "I have already expressed my self against imperialism and ter ritonal expansion. The pro posal to adopt the colonial i iea of European nations is fraught with the greatest danger. What will be the late of the treaty in the Senate I do not care to predict' Whi'e I wa3 ! Washington I sought all the in formation I could get. I cannot say that I learned sufficient to warrant me in expressing a posi tive opinion. "Do I think free silver will be an issue in 1900? Certainly. It will be the main question. How about the labor problem? I am not prepared to answer that question." God's Thoughts in Flowers. All 1m auty has its borne in God, Truth i His btxly-perfeot right, While wisdom in the masric rod. Thrt forms His shadow of the light. All flowers are the thoughts of God Their form and beauty are from Him As gorgeously they name and nod. On graceful stem and beauteous limb. God thinks and every flower blooms; He thinks again aud planets shine; And every rainbow tint that looms. Reveals the beauty of His mind. God's only work is thought. And lines Go out and spread from Him afar, His beauteous thought at once combine The glories of flower and star. What can convey from mind to mind. The tender friendships of the s. ul. So well as flowers that gently bind. The head of thought to heart of gold, E. A. Yates. . Alone at Christmas. If in this age of organizations innumerable thtre is room for one more, it is for an organ:zv tion which would bring together, especially on Christmas, those who are alot e in the world, par ticularly womeu who are alone. 1 do not think that many of us who huvt our kin closest to cs on Christmas Day stop to realize what our feelings would be it they were not witW us. 't is so hard to imagine ourselves in a position other than the one 'we are in. And yet that position might easily be other than it is. With many that position is other than God has made our own: a tact we are all apt to forset. We remember some poor family at Christmas, but at Uast it is a family. It is to gether. The one is company for the other, even in poverty. We remember the sick, and God blesses those who do. But I wish some of us might cast loi.k around and give a thought to those who ate not sick, who are not perhaps poor, as the world judges, et who are alone Seme girl, perhaps, alor.e: some woman alone: some vrunff man: "From Whence They Come."

REAL LESSON OF CHRIST IVi AS. There Can bb No Love for Cod Which is Unattend ed by Lovo for IV'.an. 'To- r.fttn in cur Chitmaj relii ious observances is thi. thouglit almost entirely lost sigl t o', ot not sutfici: ntlv rni phaMZ d," writes Edward B k nth.- D.cemhtr Ladies Home focrmd. "Theie cat be ro lovt for God vvh:ch is un.ittfi.ded with 1 e fr man. The final test of a Christian li'e is not the worsh p ol G: u, but always the loe ot man tor man. If tin message .1 Him whose birth we celtbrate at Christmas teaches us one thi:.g bove all others, it is not that we shall try to do for H'm as a person, but that we shall seek to do for one another That is knowing Jesus and derlv understanding Hun. And wot river this tiut conception of His life and teach ing is rerfchtd. there we find men and women thrilled with the passion for giving. The lit tie child wakes on Christmas morning with its heart lull to overflowing with gladness, and by every g it i stocking, or be side cradle or bed, is taught anew the old. old lesson ol love. Husband and wife, brother and sis er, lover and sweetheart, triend and friend, as they re ceive their gifts are reminded once more that love is not a dream, but a realitv and a re ality which grows more vital, more precious ar.d more en during with the years. The sick, in chair or in bed, as they open their Christmas packages are almost reconciled to loneliness and pain. The friendless, the poor, the outcast, the waifs on the streets: those who have sin ned and seem shut out frcm God and from mau, all begin to feel strange thrills of hope and re newed aspirations as they are taken up and enfolded in tht richness and fulness of the Di vine love as it comes to them through human love or atten tion on Christmas Day. That is knowing Christmas in its highest and noblest sense; in its truest conception; knowing it in that spirit from which we de rive the surest happiness." An Unexpected Phase. Oje afternoon a Brush avenue mother conscientiously decided that her blue eyed boy needed b vigorous application cf the hair brush treatment and armed ber sell with the inteuticn ol giving it But the lad, disagreeing with her diagnosis of the case, sought safety in flight and brought up iu the nttk-. This is re-;C' ed from the fl or b?low by a short la.lder and through an aperture that is not calculated to p-ss large people. The moth er belongs to thisclassand made a vain effort to follow the fugi tive Irom justice. She flourished the brush and co-rmanded him to come out, but he refused and irreverently jit red at her efforts to reach him. When the lather came home to dinner he was informed ol the situation and grew wroth as he listened to the ex parte presenta tion of the case. He would have that boy if he had to ter the bouse down, and starteeTfor the attic. It was close work, and his surprise could not be ex pressed in words when the boy, instead of cowering in a corner, came heartily to his assistance. "Try to wnggle through dad," urged the lad as he renewed his hold under the paternal arms and pulled for all he was worth. "Keep wiggling. I.'s a close fit but you'll make it. Never mind the shirt. There you are." as the fathercamethrough. "We're in great luck. I thought she d chase you up here as soon as you got home.

I would rather establish a republic iu the Orient th u destroy oneia the Occident The Philippine Islands should b turned loose and their peoplt should be allowed to establish and maintain th:ir own govern ment." But there are other Democrats who favor expan sion. For instance, Representa tive King, of Utah, who hopes soon to be a Senator, said: "The Democratic party will nev er go on record as a partv in lip position to expansion. We will oppose imperialism, but not ex pansion, and we will advocate giving all pt-rsons under the sov ereignty of the Uuited States the greatest degree of telf-govern-ment of which th-y are capable." and Sen itor Sullivan said: "Col. Bryan tried to convince me that I was wrong, but I firmly be lieve that the United State shculd not relinquish anything it has earred bv war." Among other Democrats who openly express their belief in keeping what we won by the war, are Senators Morgan and Money. Representatives Berry, of Ken tucky, and Livingston, of Geor gia. There are many Democrats who decline takinggroundeitber for or against expansion until it can be officially learned what in terpretation the administration intends to put upon the terra. The Democrats ol the House, who stdidly opposed the meas ure, are gratified at thfir success in defeating the bill for the in corporation of an International American Bank. This victory was won with the assistance of the votes ol some western Re publicans and the absence, when a vote was taken, ci others. The vote was 148 to 103. Repre- entative Dingley, the Republi can floor leader, could not con ceal his chagrin at the defeat of the bill. The Senate bill, incor porating this bank is in the hands of the House Committee on Banking and Currency, and when it is reported to the Houe the fight may have to be made over agaia. Representative Kmc. of Vir ginia, fully endorses the opinion of Mr. McKinlev. that the gov ernment ought to help take care of the Confederate dead, and goes further, by advocating ts helping to take care of needy iving Confederate soldiers. He has introduced a bill providing that all maimed, crippled and needy soldirrs and sailors, who served in the Civil War, shall be admitted upon the same terms to all Soldiers Homes and other institutions wholly maintained by the United States government. The benate committee on Privileges and Elections has re ferred the charge of bribery made against Senator Hanna, by the Ohio Senate, to a sub committee, composed of Sena tors Hoar, Spooner and Turley, for investigation and report. There will be a whitewash re port from the majority of this sub committee, and that will end the matter, so far as this com mittee is concerned. A joint resolution for the usual two weeks' Christmas recess of Congress has been reported from the House Way9 and Means Committee, and it will be oromptly adopted. Congress very seldom turns down an op portunity for a holiday. The vr investigation com mission will take a ChHttmas h..lH?y. although for anything it is accomplishing, it might just as well take a permanent holi dav.

A Contract Job. "I was only ten years old when I secured my first con ract." said the well known con tractor who was in a talka.ive mood. "My father was living on a farm at the time, and as winter drew nigh he conceived the plan of turning the little creek that ran through the pond into a hollo w near bv, thus forming a pond from which to cut ice during the winter. "My father figured up the cost, and findingthatit amount ed to more than he had thought it would, was about to give it up, when I looked the situation over and told him that I would take the contract for ten dollars. He laughed and told me to go ahead, not dreaming lor an in stant that I would have am bition enouga to begin on the work, as up to that time I had not shown a liking for hard la bor. "I called the boys of the neigh borhood together and placed the situation before them. The nearest pond was a matter of ten miles away, and even a boy with a pair of brand new skates did not thrill at the prospect ol walkirg that far for a skate. I showed them how with a little work we could have a place to skate right at home. They fell in with the idea, and went to work to carry out the plan. "We were over a month work ing at it; that is. the other boys were, while I stood around aud bossed the job. "1 was proud of the work when it was finished, and I think my father was, too, although he couldn't see for the life of him how I managed to secure so much help for nothing. "With the farst heavy freeze there was a rush for the pond by the boys that was only equaled by the rush away from it when father discovered tnem there, and started after them with a horse whip. "He said that he wasn t goin' to have a lot of fine ice split by a pack of pesky boys skatin' on it."
