WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER" 6, 1893.
The real estate and personal
property of the Kearney Cotton
Mill Company will be offered for
sale at public auction on the 16th
inst. The sale is authorized by the
board of directors, and it is fair to
presume that the property is to be
sold because it has not been paying.
The proposed reduction of $50,-
000,000 per year m the revenue by
the Wilson bill, added to the pres
ent shortage of $50,000,000, will
make a total deficit of $100,000,000;
and this amount will have to be
raised by imposing direct taxes up
on the property and business of the
countrv.
'The settlers of western Kansas
'are suffering from the pangs of
hunger and the icy breath of winter
and unless they receive aid, and
considerable of it, many deaths will
result. There will no doubt be con
siderable suffering among the farm
ers of western .Nebraska this winter,
but the counties in wnicn tnev re
side are able to furnish the needy
ones with the actual necessities of
life.
Some of the Union Pacific em
ployes claim that if the court can
fix the salaries of the five new re
ceivers it also has the power to re
store to the employes the old rate
of pay. If the receivers are entitled
to a salary of $18,000, which in our
judgment they are not, the employes
should have their wages raised to
what they were prior to the recent
reduction.
To-dat a convention will be held
at Topeka, Kansas, for the purpose
of evolving plans for a north and
south line of railroad from Dakota to
the golf! This meeting is the out
come of a movement which origi
nated ?n the last Nebraska legisla
ture and in the convention held at
Lincoln last June. The scheme has
awakened considerable interest, and
well it may, for such a line of road
would be of great benefit to the
states through which it would pass.
It is now rumored that the policy
toward the Hawaiian government
has been determined upon after re
peated consultations between
President Cleveland, Secretary
Gresham and Minister Blount. In
brief the plan is to subsidize Queen
Lili in the amount of $500,000 and
have her abdicate all claim -to the
throne, after which a provisional
government satisfactory to the
United States is to be established.
Such a course is a very smooth way

The Preddeat's Message.
President Cleveland submitted his
message to both houses of congress
Monday. The document is lengthy,
is not very clear as to the policy of
the administration, and is made up
largely of a resume of the reports of
his secretaries. As a rule the dem
ocrats commend and the republicans
condemn the message as a whole.
The following is a synopsis of the
message.

if this country was walled in and

country. But no pqwerconld make
our money a legal tender abroad,
any more than a foreign country
could make their paper a legal ten
der here. If any one should offer a
piece of unredeemable .European
paper in exchange for anything of
value here he would be treated with
derision. So it would be if a United
States fiat bill should be offered in
Europe. The foreign trade of this
country purchases and sales amounts
to two and a half billions of dollars
per year. These exchanges neces
sitate the use of a money that is
recognized as such throughout the
world. Hence, while our fiat money
might be a legal tender here, those
of our citizens engaged in foreign
trade would create a demand for
real money the money of the
world that would send gold and
silver up to a premium, not above
what those metals were worth in
other countries, but above the fiat
paper money here, until the latter
would become worthless. During
the war our paper money bearing
the promise of the government that
it should be redeemed sank to thirty
cents on the dollar. What then
would paper be likely to be worth
that there was no intention to re
deem? In this enlightened age
there are not many who believe the
fiatism fallacy; yet there are a few

Tn Nebraska Farmer ia last
week's issue ears: It should be of
iaterest to Nebraska farmers to
kaow how to solve the problem of
what to do with their wheat under
the rule of the present low prices,
and the following is the solution
given by a Dakota farmer. He was
offered but thirty-three cents per
bfttbel for his wheat; but this he
refused to take and began feeding it
to his spring shoats and last week
he marketed a carload of them at
Sioux City, Iowa, that averaged 250
pounds and sold at a price that
made the wheat fed to them net
oae dollar per bushel. If more of
our farmers were more careful to
adopt this plan they would not only
realize more for their wheat but
would have better hogs.
