THERE has been a noticeable im
provement in the quality of weather
in western Nebraska since Chief
Moore has become thoroughly ac
quainted with his new duties at
Washington. It is needless to add
that Mr. Moore is a republican, and
that of itself guarantees
service.

The populists of Ohio demand
the abolition of the national banks,
which, they denounce as centers of
bloated wealth. Probably they are
not aware that a fourth of all the
shares of ''national banks are owned
by 0.697 women. It would be just
like a populist to aim at a plutocrat
and hit a widow with a small in
come.
J. E.
Simmons, of Rawlins, has
brought
an action against the
receivers of the Union Pacific for
530,000 for the loss of an arm while
in the employ of the company as an
engineer. The plaintiff believes in
asking for plenty, but the probabili
ties are that he will eventually
settle for about one-tenth that
amount.

The grain men of Iowa, who have
been gathering all the information
possible in regard to the crops of
that state, figure the oats crop of
the state at 300, 000, 000 bushels. It
is the best ever raised in the state,
the average per acre being placed
At seventy bushels. It is also esti
mated that the corn crop of the
state will amout to five bushels for

Under republican rule the trea
sury department protected the peo-
pie from the Wall street syndicates
when the latter attempted from
time to time to corner cold and
create a panic in the money market,
All this is changed now and the
treasury department under demo-
cratic legislation and management
has to hire a Wall street svnrtirnte

various other inconveniences. The prietor and operator of peripatetic
government of the United States is
a feeble and helpless concern since
the "change" of 1892. About the
only thing it has had the nerve to
show a warlike tront against since

Rear Admiral Francis A. Roe, U.
t. in., retired, nas in his possession
a bronze medal designed by the
Society of Colonial Wars to com
memorate tho capture of Louisburg
in 1745, and intended tor President
Cleveland. This medal was made
from the French cannon fished out
of an old vessel sunk in the harbor
of Louisburg". Admiral Roe has
this medal because he was stopped
from presenting it to the president
on two occasions by Private Sec
retary Thurber, who demanded to
know the nature of the admiral's
business with the executive. The
admiral refused to state his busi
ness, deeming the secretary's de
mand impertinent. It is presumed
that in time Mr. Cleveland will re
ceive the medal, but it may be after
he retires from office.
The treasury department in its
declaration of the increase ot popu

of a million more babies than were
reported the year before. Now this

Stewart of Nevada asserted that

Mr. Watterson's observations
about a third term for President
Cleveland are vigorous and full of

XOHHeed Beport or the Committee on
Resolutions Adopted oy the SllYer
Conference at Washington.
Washington, Aug. 15. The silver
Democrats continued their conference
at the Metropolitan hotol at 10 o'clock
today. The committee on resolutions
and program being unable to report
whea the meeting was first called to
order it was suggested that the confer
ence should listen to speeches by those
present.
C. P. Cockran, editor of the St. Joseph
Gazette, addressed the convention. He
said it seemed anomalous that a meet
ing such as the present should bo called,
for he ki9W of no doctrine of the party
which was not in consonance with the
purposes of this conference. He said
that congress was the place to look for
the declaration of the party's belief, and
he declared gold monometallism would
be more disastrous than war, pestilence
and famine.
It wa3 important to settle first what
was Republicanism and what Democ
racy whether such men as ex-Senator
Thurman and Senator Harris or Sena
tor Sherman were to be leaders of Dem
ocratic thought. He declared that the
silver agitation would not die out but
would continue until the end for which
it had been originated should be at
tained. Mr. Cochran also declared
against the perpetuation of na
tional banks, whose tyranny, he
said, was the greatost tnac any
oeome -would bear. The national banks
were directly opposed to Democracy.
He was for a declaration for free silver
without reirard to tho prospect of sue
cess or failure at the polls
Representative Neill of Arkansas
announced his entire sympathy with
the objects of the present confidence.
Ex-Representative Fithian of Illinois
denied that the free silver Sentiment
was dying out in that state.
It was almost 12 o'clock when the
committee on resolutions filed into the
conference room, and Senator Daniel
was recognized to make report of the
committee's proceedings. This was di
viriVd into two sections, one consisting
in an address to the Democrats and the
ofher of a plan of organization. He
said the address in most respects was
the same as that adopted by the Demo
crnts of Texas, Missouri and Mississippi
Tho address issued disclaims speaking
with party authority, the assemblage
being a voluntary one, but strongly rep
resents that the conference of the party
should declare for free coinago of silver.
Th address concludes asfollows: "Duty
to the people requires that the party of
tho people continue the battle for bi
metallism nnfcil its efforts nra crnwnwl
with sncces. With a view t
,and readoption of tfie
Democrat to financial policy above sot
forth by the Democratic national con
vention to be assembled in 1890 and of
the nomination of a candidate for the
presidency well known to be iu hearty
3vinpathy therewith, we hereby pledge
our mutual co-operation and urgently
recommend to our Democratic brethren
in all the states to at ouce bein and
vigorously and systematically prosecute
the work of a thorough organization,
and to this end the adoption of the plan
or organization herewith submitted is
recommended.
The part of tho report dealing with
organization, above referred to, recom
mends the following a3 a plan for such
organization:
1. There shall bo a national "committee
of Democrats who are in favor of both
silver and gold as the money of the con
stitution, which shall bo composed of
one Democrat from each state and ter
ritory and the District of Colombia, and
the executive committee;hereinaf tor pro
vided for.
2 That, uutil otherwise ordered by the
national committee, Senators Isham G.
Harris of Tennessee, James R. Jones of
Arkansas and David Turpie of Indiana,
and Hons. W. J. Stone of Missouri. W.
H. Hinrichsen of Illinois and Casey
Young of Tennessee be, and rhey ar?
hereby constituted, the executive com
mitteo, and shall have full power auf
authority, and it shall be their duty al
as early a day as possible to appoint the
members of the national committe here
in provided for and to fill vacancies in
the same.
H. That said national committee shall
have full control of the political effort
of the Democracy of the nation to secure
in the next Democratic national con
vention the maintenance of the time-
honored principles and policies of the
Democratic party, and when the na
tional committee herein provided for is
not in session the executive committee
shall have all the authority and dis
charge all the duties hereby conferred
upon the national committee.
4. It shall be the duty of the members
of the national committee from each
state immediately after his appointment
to take such steps as he may deem best
to organize the bimetallic forces of his
state.
6. That fully realizing the fact that
this nor any other plan of organization
can De successful witnout tue nearer
co-operation of the yoters themselves,
we urge, upon every voter in every state
in the Union who is in sympathy with
this movement, and who wishes to re
itore permanent prosperity to his home
and country to lend his aid and in
fluence to perfecting this organization,
and that each of them shall enroll him
self in some club.
The report of the committee was
adopted without opposition, and after
listening to a few brief speeches the

Refers to the Armenian Troubles In Strong
Terms Sultan Considering Reform Pro
posals Steps Taken In Regard ta
Missionary Outrages In China.
London, Aug. 15. After the house of
commons reassembled today the mem
bers were summoned to the house of
lords with the usual formalities and the
queen's speech was read by the lord
chancellor, Baron Halsbury. It was as
follows:
"My Lords and Gentlemen: The
communications which I receive from
foreign powers assure me of the contin
uance of their good will. I am happy
to say that no international complica
tion has arisen in any quarter calcu
lated to endanger the peace of Europe.
The war between China and Japan,
which was in progress at the opening of
the last session, has been brought to a
conclusion by a peace which, I trust,
will endure. I observed strict neutral
ity during the war and have taken no
action in respect thereto, except such as
appears to me likely to be favorable to a
termination of hostilities.
"I deeply regret to say that the most
atrocious outrages upon a body of Eng
lish missionaries are reported from the
province of Fu Kien, in China. In re
ply to earnest representations ad
dressed to thp Chinese government by
direction, active measures, which I
trust will prove effective, are being
taken for the punishment of the mur
derers and all persons in any degree re
sponsible for the crimes.
"The internal troubles which have
broken out in the Armenian districts of
Asiatic Turkey haye been attended
with horrors which have moved to in
dignation the Christian nations of Eu
rope generally, and my people especial
ly. My ambassador and the ambassa
dors of the emperor of Russia and the
president of the French republic, acting
together, have suggested to the govern
ment of the sultan reforms which; in
their opinion, are necessary to prevent
a recurrence of constant disorder. These
proposals aro now being considered by
the sultan, and I am anxiously await
inir his decision."
nni
The speech conclude with a ref er--
ence to the incorporation of Bechuaa ,
land in Cape Colony. The speech mere- .
ly ys the estimates foe the yeariwhiclx''
were not voted at tha last session, will ?
be laid before them.
The second portion of the speech says::
Al mis season, or inn -vanr it. wrmirir .a
probably be found more convenient to
defer to another session tho considera
tion of any important legislative meas-
ures, except those which are necessary
to provide for the administrative charges
of the year."
Heavy Mortality Among French Troops.
Port Louis, Mauritius, Aug. 15.
Advices received here from Majunga,

vas are intrenched at Kinajy, on the
Ambohimena mountains, between And-
riha and Antananarivo. General Du
chesne was advancing upon this posi
tion and another Hova force, consisting
4,000 men, were pushing forward with

lieved to be Texas fever has been dis

of checking the import of American cat
tle into France, and are the best reply
to the criticisms this measure evoked."

Alvarcx Sees Trouble Ahead.
New York, Aug. 15. The mayor of
Havana, Cuba, Senor de Alvarez, who
is at the Union Square hotel, says that
the insurrection in Cuba is not a seriou3
matter, but there is danger ahead of
trouble between Spain and the United
States, growing out of the action of the
United States government in pressing
Spain to pay the Mora claim at this
time, and of the aid that Americans are
extending to Cuban agitators and fili
busters. Campos Personally Popular.
