"Bankers throughout tho state do not
look for any considerable rovival in
trndo until fall," remarked L. B. Howoy,
Uniced States bank examiner, to a
CourtiKii representative tho other day.
'In Botuo portions of tho state, in tho
west particularly, whoro thoro was a
small crop last your, business is flat, but
on tho whole merchants scorn to bo
holding their own wlrh conspicuous suc
cess. Tho last six months have brought
many hardships fir tho small bankors.
Fow peoplo, porhups,approciato all that
thoy havo hud to contend with. But
thoy aro coming through all right, und
with scarcely an oxcoption, look forward
to very prosperous times this fall."
Ono of tho most important business
changes that has occurred recently is
tho dissolution of tho A. M. Davis com
pany, which took place this week. On
January 1, 181)3, tho business of A. M.
Davis & Son, carpets and draperies, and
that of Hardy it Pitcher, furniture, was
consolidated undor tho name of tho A.
M. Davis Co..with a capital ofSGO.OOO, tho
intention being to secure a largo build
ing in tho central part of tho city and
place both businesses under ono roof.
No opportunity of tho sort presenting
itsolf tho concern has continued to main
tain two establishments ono on Eleventh
street and ono on O street, tho same
as beforo tho consolidation. Under tho
now arrangement effected this week A.
M. Davis & Son tako their former busi
ness, and tho furniture stock becomes
tho property of n new company to bo
known as the Hardy Furniture com-pany-
This concern ownB and will do
volop tho furniture business which un
der tho name of Hardy &, Pitcher en
joyed oxcoptionnl succobs. It is com
posed of W. E. Hardy, C. E. Hardy and
Cora B. Hardy. Thoro will bo no
chango of location. This business was
started in 1870 by II. W. Hardy, who
was succeeded January 1, 1887 by W. E.
Hardy and Charles D. Pitcher. Tho
Hardy Furniture company owns tho
largest stock of furniture in tho city,
thoir wore rooms having a floor space
of 30,000 square foot.
A number of business changes are ex
pected in tho noxt fow weeks.
F. W. Brown, who for some yourB has
boon manager of tho Lincoln business
of tho Honry &. Coutsworth company,
retail and wholosulo lumber, lias organ
ized a stock company and purchased
this business, ono of tho largest and
best established in this lino in tho city
Tho now concern Ib known as tho F. W.
Brown Lumber company. It 1b incor
porutod with a capital of 850,000, the
incorporators being F. W. Brown, O. II.
Boguo, of Chicago, and William Brown,
Jr., tho latter being F. W. Brown's
nephew. This chango means tho acquis
ition of a lurgo und lucrative business
on an independent basis.
Messrs. I. M. Raymond and S. II,
Durnham attended tho meeting of tho
Missouri River Bankors' association in
Kansas City this weok. Rules and by
laws wore adopted at this meeting,
which will bo presented to tho clearing
houBO associations in Sioux City, Oma
ha, Lincoln, St. Joo, Atchison, Leaven
worth und Kansas City for rntiflcution.
It is still problematical whether Lincoln
will go into tho association. Tho rate
paid by bunks on tho diqiohltH of cor
respondents will not bo affected by tho
rules of tho organization, as now under
stood; but tho banks of the different
cities will bind themselves to a uniform
practice us respects many details of tho
banking business. Ono of the proposed
changes relates to tho crediting of out
side checks. It is proposed to outer
these for collection, instead of placing
them to tho credit of tho depositor.
Another provides that tho bank custo
mors who desire special checks shall pay
tho uctuul'eost of tho same. It is prob
uhlo that tho bankers in this city will
consider tho advisability of going into
tho new association some time in tho
next fow days.
Merchants generally report much bet
ter business since the first of the year
than was expected.
One of tho most encouraging oviden
cos of returning prosperity may bo
found In tho very marked increase in tho
attendance at tho theatres. In Novoin.
ber, whon many first-class attractions
appeared at tho Lansing, tho house wns
generally lets than half full, Now tho
theatre is crowded at nearly every per
formance. Tho rocoipts Wednesday
night whon "Faust" was presented, wore
over 81,000. Whon people havo monoy
to spond in this way, thoy are not poor.
Everything points to rapidly returning
piospority.
William O'Shea, of this town, niunu
fucturcs paper boxes of approved work

to manufacture n story, and ho is
quite us doft in dealing with tho intangi
ble eloments of fiction, as in handling
tho straw board und glue in tho manu

entitled "Tho Spirit Picture" that ovi
doncod tho fact that our friond hiiB u
vivid "imagination, und a cortuin facility

Tho presentation of "Fauet" at tho
Lansing thouter Wednesday drew an in
tellectual audience, if an audience that
is composed for tho major part of sttt
dents and attache of tho different edu
cational institutions of tho city can bo
called intellectual. Wo presume itcun.
Tho high charactor of tho audience was
manifested in a most striking manner
several times during tho evening in cat
calls, hisses, smacking of lips and other
ways, that interfered with tho perform
ance and annoyed tho more quietly dis
posed persons in tho audience.
Mayor Weir lias announced his inten
tion of closing all houses of prostitution
March 1, und ho has proclaimed his
moral crusade wtih much noise. There
has been so much bluster that tho pub
lic is a triflo suspicious, It is tho opin
ion of u great muny porsons that tho
mayor cannot enforce tho law and drivo
tho offondors out of tho city, und others
maintain that ho does not intend to
curry out his threat. It is claimed that
his method of dealing with this ques

huvo uctuuted Mayor Weir in his

It has generally been supKised that
tho clerk of tho supremo court and
statu librarian has held this lucrative
Itosltion ut tho pleasure of tho court,
and the fact that fitly Brown hold tho
place for so many years has caused poo
plo to believe that tho appointment of
clerk and librarian is good for an Indotl
uite poriod. It appears however, that,
tho term is four years. Mr. Camp
bell, tho present capable olllcer, will
huvo nerved three yours noxt April. From
presont indications it is exceedingly im
probable if ho will remain very long bo
yond that time. Mr. Campbell was ap
pointed largely through tho influence of
Judge Maxwell, und tho exit of tho ven
erable chief justice from tho scone has
seemed to clear tho way for applicants
for tho clerkship which is BUpjHsed to
bo worth Bomowhat over 80,000 a your,
by tho way. As stated by Tiik Couiuku
some weeks ago thoro is no longer uny
doubt us to tho candidacy of Brud
Slaughter, the chairman of tho republi
can state central committee, for this
place. Slaughter has entered tho lists
with just ono purpose that of winning
und Slaughter is a man, who, in politics,
manages to havo his own way not Infre
quently, Thoro aro other candidates,
however, notably Bon R. Cowdory, of
thin city, state bank examiner, und Sunt
uol A. Steele, an attorney at David City.
It is claimed in behalf of the chairman
of tho republican stuto central commit
tee, that ho was chiefly instrumental in
raising Judge Post to tho supremo
bench und what ho accomplished for
Judge Harrison in the recent election is
well known. An intelligent considera
tion of tho facts involved seemB to muko
it reasonably sure that Slaughter will
go in if Cumpboll goos out, und thoro it

The Honorable L. Barry, the member
of tho legislature from Grcoly county,
the man who was for impeuching every
body at the last session, from tho gover
nor down to tho cuspidor cleaner, stands
himself impeached before his constitu
ents. Tho treasurer of Greely county
turns out to bo a defuulter in a lureo
amount and it is reported that tho good
Hurry, this conscientious jop, lias re
ceived Bomo of tho funds. Furthermore
it has lately been asoortuind
that this immaculiito foe of
tho corporations rides on a
railway puss, und has ooon doinir so for
a long time. Burry is a fair suinplo of
tho loud mouthed, cloud nuwinir non.
Any mun who makes professions of tho
Burry sort may be put down as a first
class fraud.
In former times, tho practice of om
ploying claquors prevailed by actors do
siring to win fumo without enrning it, to
uccupy pluces in different parts of tho
theatre, and in uccordunco with instruc
tions to sturt liiluriouB clapping
when certain points were reached. On
ono occasion a certain uspiring actor was
in tho midst of a high strung passages
whon one of his cluquers commoncod a
vigorous chipping or the hands, vory
much to his discomfiture. In his excite
ment und linger, and unconscious for a
moment of the presence of tho undionce
he excluimed in his loudest voice, "Blast
you, that is not where I told you to up
plaud!"
It was unco related of an aged min
ister that tho inunuscrlptof a sermon ho
had delivered, and which was ordered
printed, was found to contain tho words,
ut certain points, "n-j lien:" which
words tho minister hud forgotten to
erase.
Wo started in to refer to a trick of the
stage art which was employed by
Springer of Illinois last Friday weok.
In tho midst of a speech by u member
on tho tariff, tho Illinois member arose
with great dignity of manner and inter
rupting tho gentleman who hud the
floor, said he desired to address an
Inquiry to the chuir. The attention of
tho wliolo house was agog In an instant
und nil eyes were fustened on Springer,
whon ho slowly suid: "Will tho Hon.
I
Mr. Ilryun speak lo-nlght?" A broad
smile onllvened the faces of the mem
bers, us tho speaker announced that ho
would, und tho gentleman having tho
tloor proceeded with his speech. The
memlMtrs breathed freer. The object
of Bryan and Springer had been aceom
plishod, which was to have it announced
on tho floor of tho house that Bryan
would deliver himself that evening.
Tho funny part of It was. that Mr.
Springer, one of the oldest members of
tho house should bo found playing the
cluquer for Bryan. Hols entitled to the
palm as trickster of the house,
o
Whon tho evening hour arrived for
thodobuto to bo resumed, thero were
not wonty members in their souts. That
gavo Merry-Andrew Springer an oppor
tunUy to play tho role of clup-trup for
his protege, Bryan. Tho chair was oc
copied temporarily by u member, not
thospoakor. Tho Illinois performer
suggested that tho doors be thrown
open fooutsldors, und u mob soon filled
tho vacant places. Thus a full house
was secured, and tho object of Bryan
wasnttainod, but Brynn und Springer got
it in the neck, to use u cunt phrase, from
tho speakor, who suid with much ear
nestness. "Thut thing will not happen
again while I am Speaker."
Tho talked of opposition to Judgo
Waters does not Boom to materialize
with any noticeable rapidity. His re
nomination is generally conceded,
Tho precedent, of giving city officials
two terms is vo-y generally observed in
Lincoln. Wator Commissioner Percival
therefore has expected a ro-nominution
as a matter of courso. Thoro is, how
ever, some oviden so of opposition, and it
is possible thut ho will havo to fight for
u socond term. Henry Ho&glaiul has
been urged to become u candidate for
this place, und some of hlsfriondB suy ho

In tho whole wide range of diplomacy
In the ono hundred and seventeen years
since tho United States assumed Its po
sition on the map or nations, has thoro
over been known such a dishonest, un
patriotic, truckling, shambling, miseiu
bio, deceitful, tin American, trilling, ills
graceful mid dishonorable policy, as that
which has been carved out by drover
Cleveland and his secretary of state,
Walter Q. (lieshaui, in this Hawaiian
policy? If ever two men deserved Im
peuchmeiit and removal rrom ollleo, and
perpetual disqualification for holding
ollleo, thoy are tho ones. They havo not
only disgraced themselves, but they
havo dlsuraced the American nation;
thoy have dishonored Americun charac
ter. Every patriotic citizen must feel
ashamed of Ills' government.
Cleveland mid Clreshaiu entered into
it conspiracy tho moment thoy entered
Into their respective olllc'os. Thoy hud
determined to besmirch Harrisons ad
ministration, rob it or the glory or
having placed tho stur or the Pucitlc

then pending in the senate awaiting

next day after tho inauguration or Cleve

ment it must have been to havo been
overthrown by lirty men from tho Bos
ton wiWiout firing a shot! Tho investi
gation conducted by "Puraniounf
Blount wus oxpurto, onesided, preju
diced throughout -besought information
only from those of tho Queen's followers
ho did not wunt tho truth ho went
there for tho solo purpose of making out
a case, by ignoring tho facts, uguinst tho
preceding administration, and tojiistiry
his musters in restoring the Queen to
the so culled throne. They huvo sought
to curry out thoirdiimnuhlo scheme by
tho boldest falsehood. They have
charged upon every occasion and in
ofllciul documents, thut the government
ot tho Islunds wub subverted by tho
United Stutes minister, Stevens, and the
provisional government established in
its place. And their followers in con
gress huvo rolled this lie under their
tongues us a BWeet morsel, and have
iiiiido it their solo ground or support or
tho disgraceful tactics pursued by the
pretidont und his secretary ot stuto in
their Miichiuvellinii policy in regard to
Hawaii. This raise charge has been ex
plotted, not only by ox-Minister Stevens,
by the present minister to the United
States, Thurston, by every member or
tho provisional government.but by every
credible person who wus in Honolulu ut
tho time ot tho revolution, whether cit
izen or stranger sojourning there. His
tory ruiely affords such a remarkable
concentration or accumulative testi
mony or tho most unimpeachable char
acter, which knocks every prop rrom
under them and leaves not a vestige or
support on which thoy can stand. They
cannot approximate to the weight of u
struw to give them uny standing in
any court in Christendom. And yet
they stand on this condemned falsehood,
no ono knowing better than they do
that it is u gigantic fabrication in every
part, and yet they assort, and iterate,
and reiterate, ami re re-iterato the wick
ed deception. Thoy are obliged to do
this for self preservation. Hut for this
subterfuge thoy know they would bo im
peached; and if there were not more
than ten or tirteon democratic majority
in the house today, Cleveland and
(iresham would be impeached in a
week.
What a spectacle this country now
presents to the civilized world! The
United States or America, the grandest
republic of the globe the shining light
of the uniwrso for all persons breathing
aspirations Tor liberty tin confidence
of all the present and tho hope of all
the future this great country has a
president ami secretary or state who are
now trying to rehabilitate a defunct i
counterfeit of a throne in the central
islands of the Pacille ocean! Shades of
Jefferson, of Madison, of Monroe, of
.Jackson, or Lincoln and or (IruntI For
what purpose did they live, ami to what
end did they coiiHooruto their lives?
Was It to enable their successors to play
the role or puppets in the Ignoble farce
of Investing a parvenu queen with the
robes or royalty. To what base ends
huvo wo not come In tho closing years of
the Nineteenth century! What humil
iation for the American people!
But what becomes of the much vaunt
ed Monroe doctrine, lo which all true
patriots have shown allegiance, that
which prohibits forever the establish
ment of a monarchical government on
the American continent by uny foreign
power, while wo lire rulslng up a petty
throne for less than ninoty thousand
peoplo in the Hawaiian islands? True,
those Islunds are not an integral part of
thiB continent, but they are contiguous
to It near enough to muko the Monroo
doctrine applicable to them.
I huvo said that tho policy of Clove
land and (Iresham In the whole detest
lublo business rests upon u tulsohood ror
Its promise. Queen Lll overthrow her
soir when, by usurpation ami violence
she sot aside the old constitution under
which she reigned, and undertook to
substitute one ot her own making in its
place. She sealed her own doom, Not
a scintilla or proof has ever boon pro
duced showing thut Minister Willis ad
vised or countenanced any stop looking
to the restoration or tho government,
and annexation to the United States.
On the contrary tho reverse is proven.
Stevens had been absent from Honolulu
fourteen days, and had no knowledgo of
what was transpiring in that city till
tho day of his return, whon ho found the
revolution undor full heudwny. All ho
thou did wus to request dipt. Wlltz of
tho cruiser Boston, then lying in tho
harbor, to land it small inunbor or mu
rines for tho protection of tho lives und
property of Aniurlsun citizens. Tho
sumo thing hud boon dono beforo, and
tho sumo tliicg has been done since, at
tho instance of tho English Minister
Wodohouse, who applied to the provis
onul government for permission to lund
fifty murines to protect English subjects
and their property. Most stringent
orders were given to tho .Americun sail
ors not to interfere in "tho slightest de
gree with anylxidy or anything excopt
to protect Americans und their property.
Thoy had no more to do with dethron
ing Lilioukulinl than hud tho French
soldiers fighting in Duhomoy. This
story of interference by our minister
und the sailors was mi after thought; it
was a subterfuge concocted by tho queen
and "Paramount'' Wilson, mid after
wards adopted by 'iPurtimount" Blount.
But one of tho most reprehensible fea
tures or Cleveland's and Greshum's
Hawaiian policy is tho attempt to pull
down tho provisional government which
succeeded that or the queen, which gov
ernment has now maintained itself more
than a your, recognized by different
tuitions, standing for peace, order, quiet
and good government, such as had never
been known before, recognized by the
United States, und by President Clove
land in tin especial manner by accredit
ing Mr. Willis as minister or tho United
States to tho provisional government ot
the Hawaiian islunds, und addressing
President Dole., as "my great und good
friend.''
Ho treats that government us un inde
pendent nutlon, and then by urtifico, do
coption and tho appearance of force,
seek its overthrow. It luckB but littlo
of being tho work and tho tuctics or au
ussussin. Cleveland found that gov
ernment an accomplished fact. It was
not tor him to consider whether it right
fully came into power or not. It was it
crowning insult to notify it to disbund
and go out of business. Tho only thing
to be regretted is, that President Dole
did not at onco cease all olllciul inter
course with Willis and send him his
passport.
The action of Cleveland in this mutter
is a crime against an independent power.
It Is a crime uguinst the nutlon it is a
crime against the American government
and oven if ho does not receive impeach
ment and removal from olllce, ho will go
down in history as richly deserving thut
fate. Hut the end is not yet.
