If he had a nice new stomach
Says it with pathetic smile
Now this building of new stomachs
Is Red Raven Flours fad
It can build him a brand new one
Or can make his old one glad

HjxtJio treaty that Sontof
ilorgBnlii5ffnW hairo foil opporttmy to
present lxls tIcwb nnd atnenilments to the
treaty In an orderly manner and without
unduo preasare fienutorn Teller Dnbols
and ltnwllaj were especially omphutlc
when malclns tlis declarations saying that
oren If tho treaty lad to so orer until
aftor March i tho Alabama senator should
not bo subjected to undue prrsaure
The rcjiabllnm leaders conferred all day
upon tho subject of tho Statnhood compro
mlse oud most of the dctnccmtii were In-
formed of the cenornl terms of tio propo
Rltlon To all aucJitlons as to whether
they would accept Booh n compromise they
said that they wanted to coo n definite
propoaltlon and to know from whom It
came then they would be In a potUUou to
confer and decide
On the republican aid it U found that
two republican eenator Oerwlflge and
Kelson Ujth members of the committee on
Territories aire loth to accept any compro
mlse sbto that which tho majority orU
tally presented Their position la that
the omnlbua bill Is defeated and that Ben
ator Quay who haa been o pornlstently
preeslnc It has lost strength by his coarse
In BnppoTtlnj Senator Slorjan durlnjr tho
lattcra fljrht scalrmt the canal treuty
Senator Bpooner rftported to bis committee
collracnes that thcro was no legal dlfn
culty in ths way of admitting Oklahoma
and afterwards attaching Indian Territory
to the Btate In thin name connection there
Is a propoaltlon to have Included a provl
slon for a trust school fund for Indian
Territory to b provided by the govern-
ment This la to moot tho objection raised
against Indian Territory that It has no
school lands end no gTouts can be made
for publlo BCbools rrhe dlvbilon of New
MexI < Y > and Arizona In to be made upon a
proclamation by tho president when then
is a popnlatlon of VOOOO In Arlxona but
objactlon has been raised by the democrats
to this suggestion as It now stands that
no provision Is made for a cenana and It
would be at leaat 1010 before any teat conld
be nude
During tho day efforts wero mado to find
Delegate It A Smith ot Arizona to as-
certain what his views would be as to the
proposed eompromlsc but ho won not at the
capltol Sle had been decidedly opposed to
any such more all along and today Ben
ator Blackburn told some of his colleagues
that tho Joining of the two TerrttortM
would not bo acceptablo and wonld cause
strong opposition
The democratic position on tho proposed
compromise Is an Interesting feature of the
situation for It Is generally understood
that uulsss there Is practically unanimous
BgreHincnt It could not pass Another fen

while some think it would not bo bad party
politic to have such a eeslon and havo

vision of tha tariff discussed This Idea
was communicated to some of the rcpub

uneasiness It Is realised that with the

Mr llr > iiu ulso declined to any anything
spoclHe regarding any of tho several men
who are mentioned as posslblo nominees
I do not expect to sco any man nom-
inated on the democratic ticket during the
present general Ion eaid he who to
ushumed of or apologizes for the position
of tho democratic party in tho csmpalgns
of liKH and lfOO If wo can n t win with
leaders and conditions in harmony with
the il u of a large majority of the party
we certainly can not win when the condi-
tions and leaders are utterly opposed to i
large majority of tho party So that
whether the party would win or not It Is
bound to make tho fight under leaders In
harmony with tho vlow of the majority
who will moke a strong and stcadfsAt fight
for the prlnciplu Involved In tho platform
of Ihv puny
Do you think those who teller tn ths
Kansas City platform can control the next
democratic convention
I do not see how they can fall to do so
unless they are deceived and misled Into
tho support of men whou opinions are in
the background if the otors who organ-
ized the Kansas City convention could
adopt tho Kaimaa City platform they cer-
tainly should be ahl to control the or-
ganization now esipeUsllj In view of tho
fact that the battle we fought waa not
only against the republican party lirflucnco
ot patronatge but moil net come of the
brightest leaders who bolted to the ranks
of the republican party and gave the ro i
publlean party conspicuous help
When asked of tlie policy of the demo-
cratic party of tho futute Mr Bryan re-
plied Itegardlng the policy I can only
say that there must tie ultimately a revolt
against the domination of organised wealth
from principle as well as n matter of law
