first of these reasons is that

It is now practically admit
ted by republicans .that the
talk previous to the election
of a repeal of the war taxes
was nothing mere than a
campajgn bluff. A call for
the Jfajs and Means Com
mittee of the House to meet
on the 20th inst. has been is
sued. The bill the commit
tee will' prepare will merely
revise the , war. taxes some
campaign obligations are to
he paid that way and will
not repeal all of them. The
republicans know yery well
that -with, the total appro
printed by the last, session of
Congress o f $674,000,000
and the probability that a
larger sum will be appropri
ated by the . coming session,
all or nearly all . of the money
produced by the war taxes
will be needed. The bill pre
pared by the committee will
probably reduce the warfar
es in the interests of . favored
classes, something like $15,
000,000 or 120,000,000 a
yfar, but the bulk of those
taxes will have to be paid by
the people for an indefinite
period. ' . V "

Bryan WU Iteaals AetiT.
ncoln, Neb., Dispatch, ; j ;
VV. J. Bryun has given out
the following statement con
cerning the election: , v .
.'''The result was n surprise
to arte and the magnitude! of
the republican victory was a
surprise to ouropponents, as
well as to 'those who voted
our.ticket.. It -is impossible
to analyze the returns until
they are more complete, but
speaking generally, we seem
to have gained in the 'large
cities ond to have lost in the
smaller cities and. in the coun
try,. ., . :
''The republicans were able
to secure tickets or passes for
all their voters who ! were a;
way from home , and thnv!
gave them considerable od
vantage. .We have no way of
kpowtng at this time how
much money was spent in tin
purchase of votes and in ol
on'z itjon.v But while' these
would., account tor some of
the republican gains,-1 they
could not account for t h e
wide spread increase in ' the
republican vote. The prosper
ity argument was probably
the most potent one used by
the republicans. They com
pared present conditions with
the panic times of '93 to '96
and this argument had weig
ht with those who : did not
stop to consider the- reasons
for the change.. The appoai,
"Stand by the ; President
while the war is on,' had
great deal of influence am
ong those who did not real
ize that a war against t h e
doctrine of ' self government
in the Philippines must react
upon us in this country. We
made an honest fight on an
honest platform and having
done our duty as we saw it,
we have nothing to regrot.
' We are defeated but ndt
discouraged. The fight must
go on. I am sure that repub
lican policies will be repudia
ted by the people when the
tendency of these policies are
fully understood. Thecontest
between plutocracy and de
mocracy ; caunot end . until
one or the other is complete
ly triumphant,'! Concerning
himself Mr. Bryan said:
1 "I have come cut of the
campaign with perfect health
and a clear conscience. I did
my utmost to bring success
to the principles for .which I
stood. Mr. Stevenson did all
he could; Senator Jones and
the members of the Democrat
Populist and silver Republi
can and the anti imperialist
committee! did all t b e y
could. Mr. Hearst and his as
sociates in the club organiza
tion put forth t their best efr
fort. Our ne wspa pers, our
c impaign speakers and. our
local organizations did their
pa rt also. I h a ve no f a u 1 1 to
find and no reproaches. Isnal)
continue to take an active in
terest in politics as long aa I
live. 1 believe it to be thedu
ty of citizens to do so, and in
addition to my interest as n
citizen, I feel that vit will re
quire a life time of work- to
repa r , the political . friends
who ha ve done so much ;for
me.. ' I sha ll pqt beW Sena to
rial candidate before the leg
islature which ha? oeen elac
tedi' Senator;AJjn deserves
the senatorship, which'goes
t'j the populists. Mrl" Hitch
cock and Mr W. ;fl; Thomp
son are avowed candidates
for1 the seaatorship.' 'Til e y
bot.h deserve, well of , the par
ty and I am too grateful to
them for past support ' to
stand in their w.r even if I
desired a seat in the Senate'
MK Bryan says he has no
other plans to present than
to remain at home until ' be
haa recovered from the fa
tigue of campaigning. He de
riiec) the , report t h a t' he
would" remove from Nebraska
and make Texas his home.
. Boodle In the WL i'
News and Observer, 1
There seems little room to
doubt that the submission of
the constitutional amend
ment had the effect of, temp
orarily weakening the Demo
cratic party in the Eighth
and Ninth Congressional dis
triets. That 1 weakness ,' will
pass away 'after,, the ' yoUrs
see that the amendment does
exactly what the Democrats
said it would do 'and had
none of the bal effects Which
the Republicans falsely said
would follow, in its wake.
But it would baa big mistake
to shppose that the amend
ment is solely resp'onsible.for
the 'election pf two Itepubl
cansV to. Congress ip the West.

Iran maority Is given by
one of the wisest men in ' Al
leghany courtty. wh6 Writes
in a private letter: ' ' ;r ,
VThe Republicans bad all
the f boodle") they could use,
therefore our majority is
small,"
I The A8heville Citizen adds
testimony to this statement,
and gives other causes. We
quote: "'
"The dollars that made the
result in the Eighth and
Ninth districts possible are
understood fully only by the
Republican managers who
put them into the campaign
When' Senator Pritchard
pledged these two districts
to Senator Hanna the pledge
was conditioned upon the
placing of enough money at
his disposal to make the
pledge good. Senator Pritch
ard is a thoroughly practical
politician.' He knows the
power of money in politics
and his nerve never fails him.
And he found a condition in
the late campaign eminently
suited to his plans. The Dem
ocrnts were actively engaged
in a fight among themselves
over the Senatorship. The
floaters were neglected in the
fervor of the strife, nnd the
Republicans captured the en
tire outfit.
. 'Of course there was an in
considerable number of intel-
lisent gentlemen who 'called
themselves Democrats, who
voted for McKinley" from
what they'styled ' i business
standpoint. The number of
these may be very ' accurate
ly Estimated bytbedifference
m the vote cast fur McKinley
and.that cast for the Repub
lican candidates for Congress,
The floaters voted straight.."

Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that It is not uncommon

reaches an age when It should be able to

bed-wetting, depend upon It. the cause of
the diKiculty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant '
trouble Is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
. Women as well as men are made mis

and both need the same great remedy.
