<4 THE /' t " 7?nr: VOLUME XII. " ~? CAMDEN, S. CM FRIDAY. I'KHUr.Vh'V 15. HXtl. /, " N(). l>. MR. BRYAN SI'EAKS. Declares Jefferson'anism to Be the Need of the Present. Discusses original democracy. Lays Jefferson Formulated the Only Democratic Code Applicable to All Tim?s and Conditions. \ Columbus-, ()., Special.?Vho nlnety i . ci I nnniver>\'uy of (ho birth of Alwahun Lincoln was cciebratoj hero Tuesday lught by tho Jefferson, Jack-' sen and Lincoln League with a dollar dinner at tJio Columbus Auditorium. Thoro wr.ro fully 1,500 people at the tables, which occupied tho lloor of tho ininionfip hall and l.OOO moro in the go,rfliics which had boon thrown open to W>wt?tora. Many ladles wtro no ticed nrnTvrtg Tfiort* nt th'6'Tablft.j. Tho bill <;< faro was not elaborate. There were tia wwA \w> stronger than coffee. The feature of tho evening was the demonstration in honor of William .'(Minings llryan. He was received with loud applauso when ho entered the hall but tho crowd fairly went wild when Mr. Bryan was Introduced to speak. Congressman John J. Len.tz, as toast master, intro duce! Mr. Bryan. The last time, said Mr. IjcnU, I had Hi"! pleasure of introducing Mr. Bryan to you, I Introdueed him as the next President o.f tho United States. T again introduce him to you as 1 did then." Kol lowing is an abstract of Mr. Bry an's speech: Never has this nation been moro in need than it is today of an earnest and thorough revival of Jefferson ion principles. While other statesmen, appearing at different, crises and meet ing the rejiponslbllitles < of their ro spo;:tlvo times, have made partial ap plication of Democratic principles, Jefferson is the only one who has formulated a Democratic code appli cable to all times, all situations and all people. Though tho champion of the com nrm 'ptoplo ho was l>orn among tho aristocrats and was Intimately ac quainted with the members of tho Mouse of Have, as with those who nt,niggled to meet by daily work their daily wants. Ho was called a demagogue by his enemies and yet he exhibited a moral courage which none of his dctractois has ever posse&scd and in behalf of a righteous principle he would oppose the world. -He attacked tho laws of primogeni ture and entail, and saved America from a landed aristocracy. This was not the work of a demagogue. Ho condemned slavery when tho system was 'jxipular n his State and iu tho nation, and ho did it three quarters of a century boforo emanci pation crowned Lincoln with martyr dom. This was not tho work of a demagogue. lie oiganlwwl the Democratic party and by the strongith of his leadership overthrow atv opposition intrenched in j ower and bulwark by tho busl pc.s and social forces. i-'o successful was his administra tion that his re-election was practi cally unanimous and for years the ex ecutive chair was filled by men unto whom ho had boon a Gamaliel. At this--time when. the money changers are in aibsolute control of tho government and are shaping the na tion's financial policy In their own Interest, without regard for tho -wel fare of tho people at large, wo need to re call .Jefferson's scathing arraign ment of those who demand tho sur ren !er Into his bands of the soveroigu functions of government. He liolntcd out that the saifety of the people lay In a policy that/ would drive tho banks out of the governing business. At this time, when 'cor porate monopoly Is fast extinguishing industrial independence, wo need a ro viral of the Jeffensonlan spirit which demand? a government ad min'stored according to the doctrlno o: equal rights to all and Special privi leges to none. > \ At tfils time, when commercialism is soaring tho <onscience of tho na <ion when the/worship of mammon is leading the people to ignore inalien able rights, when tho ideals l>onght with blood and sacrifice are to bo bartered away for the specious and delusive promises of empire?a* this time, I repeat, we need to have our fa'th In man as man and our lovo for man as brother rekindled by the mem ory of this mighty patriot, philosopher and Democrat whose brain compre lunded the height and depth and breadth of government end whose heart embraced the human raoe. Police Stomd By Students. '?.J^nilrld, By Cable.? Sunday evening at the <-lo?e of a meeting of the Stu dents' Union, on the occason of a lec ture drain* with the notl-clerlcal play "Eloctra," the ntudeifta remonstrated and stoned the police.

An ineffectual fffort was made in tin* Senate to ec ouro an agreement upon a time for a final vote upou the shipping Will. Vis orous protects were made by- oppon ents of th?? measure against any mi U agreement, even for a date In the in definite future. Mr. Hritchard, o; North Carolina, spoke today in sup port of the shipping hill and then the naval appropriation hill was <on:i:d? erod the rest of the day. tho shipping hill being laid aside informally. The naval hill had not hoen acted uii when the Senate adjourned. Forty-nInth I)ay.-- During tho en tiro session the Senate had under eon federation the naval appropriation hill. Practically'the hill was com I pletcd when it was laid aside for tho day, all of the committee t)mendmen'..i | being adopted, hut as the measure wa < about tor he placed on Its passage'. Mr. ' Dutler, of North Carolina, precipitatei I \\ viifttweaiow t?i VVie armor plat" ques tion. In order to enable some others to speak upon tho matter, the hil! was laid aside until Monday. Eulogies upon the late Representative llann.r, of Pennsylvania, concluded the ses sion. The passage at the beginning of tho session of t.he Senate of a bill granting a pension of $">0 a month to Stacy H. Cogswell, Company F, Thirteenth In diana Volunteer infantry, induced Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, to mako some forceful Comments upon tho House in not taking action upon a bill providing a pension for a Mexican war veteran who had resided in South Carolina du.ing the civil war, and nat urally had heen In sympathy witli tho Confederacy. The bill had been pasro.1 by the Senate, but the IJou&o invalid pension committee was delay ing final action upon it. Mr. Tillman urged. Jle gaid that there was so much sectional animosity in itio house committee that the members refused to permit action upon the bill for the benoflt of this old Mexican veteran. "Is the war over, or is it not?" de manded Mr. Tillman, with vehemence. "Let us niul out whether it is or not. I swoar by the Almighty Cod that I will not lot another pension bill pass this Senate until this old man gets Justice." * Fiftieth Day.?Shortly after tho Senate convened the naval appropria tion bill was passed. The shipping subsidy bill was then taken up and kept before the Senate during che re mainder of tho executive day. Mr. Caffory, Democrat, oflxiuisiana oe er.plcd the floor throughout the session. Opposition Senators made the point or nt> quorum several times and demand ed a call of the Senate. Fifty-first Day.?The Striate at tho conclusion of routine business, took up tho agricultural appropriation bill. Tho discussion was varrieo ip char acter, but mostly uninteresting. HOUSE. Forty-eighth Day.?This was prob aWy tho last day to be devoted to pri vate pension legislation by tho }louso Of Representatives in this Congress. Tho high water mark, made in tho Fifty-first Congress, was almost reach ed today, when 1X4 bills wero passed against 197 passed jit a single session In tho former Congress. In all, the house at this Congress has passed about 900 bills, a number considerably exceeded In the Fifty-first. A general pension bill was passed to restore to the pension rolls widows of Holdlorft of the civil war who rtub.se quontly married and became widows, or divorced. By the terms of the bill, however, Its benetlts^Are limited to widows of soldiers who were married beforo the close of the civil war and who are now dependent upon the.r own labor for support. \ Forty-nfnth Day.?The\ considcra tion of the diplomatic and cons?l,1r ap proprintion bill In the House developed something of a sensation when Repre sentative Brown, of Ohio, standing in the centre of the Republican side of the chamber, made a speech strong'y condemning a colonial policy and urg ing that Congress should at once give assurance to the Filipinos that tho purpose of the United States was to givo them independence. His an nouncement that he would advocate a resolution to this effect was loudly ap plauded, particularly on the Demo cratic side, and at the close " of tho speech many of his Republican asso ciates crowded about him and con gratulated him. Representatives Mlers, of Indiana, and D'nsmoro, of Arkansas, also spoke on the Philippines. Thf* consideration of the diplomatic and' consular bill went over'- at 2 o'clock, and the rest of the day waa given to eulogists of the late Repre sentative Day, of New Jersey, and Wise, of Virginia. Thoe? who pro nounced eulogies upon the life ai.& character of the late Mr. Wise, were Messrs. Lamb, Hixcy, of Virginia; Weeks, of Michigan; Lanney, of North Carolina; Aldrlch, of Alabama, and Lloyd, of MtmAmri. . Fiftieth Day.?This waa a field day in the House, feeing by far the liveliest day during the preaent session. A very Interesting debate over the con stitutional limitations on the power of the Senate .over revenue legislation Initiated by the House was precipi-j tated, when Mr. Payne, the chairman of me ways and . means eomnitlce brought in the reeolntlVn of t?le com mittee to disagree to the substitute yropoa?d bj ths ffcnateas an amend mapt to the war revenue reduction act mad to as* tor a conference of.

The tiouble had been brewing all afternoon. When it came time 10 open the pulls the Tinker Judges had not > et arrived.

The judges, being unable to agree, no voting was done. Humor has ll that tho first man to draw a revol ver was a negro named Arthur (Jardt ner. Immediately the street became the sne.ne of a fusilade.
