Henry Clews of New York, who presumes to furnish the mental pabu lum which makes up the weekly diet of the average bankers and "business men cf this country, io a recent article attempted to settle the money question at one fell swoop of his mighty pen. "Why," wrote he, "if the United States adopt the free coin age of silver, everything we sell abroad we will be obliged to take our pay for in 40 cent silver, and every thing we buy abroad we will have to pay for in gold at gold prices. If the balance of trade continues in our favor we can possiblv get along without great disaster, but if it should turn against us we woold simply be a ruined nation." That was tbe burden of his deliv erance. Mr. Clews may be a very suc cessful money getter on "cent per cent" principles, but he should whet up his mental faculties a little if he wants to convince thinking people that be knows what he is writing about. In tbe first place, the people of tbe united Mates sold abroad last year about $1,175,000,000 worth of pro ducts. If Clews' position were correct, those foreigners under free silver would have been obliged to pay to us nearly one-half of all tbe coined silver in the world. As we sell most of o&r products to Europe, the question. arises where would the European have got the silver from with which to pay this great sum? Again, ywe bought abroad last year nearly. 1,000,000,000 worth of goods. Instead of paying that sum in gold fee those goods the supposition is that even if we had adopted free sliver coinage, and our home currency had depreciated to the (present) silver bullion standard, our products would bring as much in gold in European markets as those ot any other country, and we could pay for the gsods bought with the goods sold and still have the same balance of trade in our favor, measured in European money, as we have had under tbe present gold stand ard. Europe could only compel us to take our own silver in payment for our goods, and she could only get our silver by paying us dollar for dollar in gold for it. Because, a silver dollar wbieh is of full legal tender value will pay as much of debt here as any other dollar, and no man would part with his silver dollars for less than they were worth "to him in debt-paying power. Put, suppose the balance of trade were" to go against as, what then? 'Why, our people could pay in products for the goods we bought, as far as they went, at the European gold price, and then if they weuld not take our silver for the remainder, it might have the effect of lessening the amount of our foreign purchases, which might not be an unmixed evil. The truth of the matter is, Mr. Clews either doesn't know what he is writing about, or is purposely trying to deceive his readers. In the light of reason the beogaboo of cheap silver and ruin vanishes into thin air. he Louisville Courier a no tea one of the defeated candidates on tbe fusion ticket as having said "'tis bet ter to have ran and lost, than never to have ran at all." Mayfield is a f nnny Y1X a. - . ming, dui mere is nothing so ex crutiatingly funny about him aa his grammar, or rather his lack of gram mar. Instead of racking his in finitesimal brain in a vain endeavor to bring forth "gems of wit," it would b well for The Courier man to spend at least a part of his time in poring over the pages of some competent authority On the use of the English language. Georob J. SPOHN,who.-was reared in Cass county, and who now resides in Superior. Nuckolls county, was elected to the legislature by tbe fusion lata of the Twenty-sixth senatorial dis trict. This is a well deserved honor, A. B. Uedbloom, who was formerly in the drug business in Plattsmonth, was a candidate for float senator for Her rick and Folk counties, and was de feated. He is a republican. Jim Tanser, editor of The Fuller ton Post, has been elected to tbe state senate by the fusionists. Jim is bright boy, and tbe voters of bis dis trict made no mistake in thus honor inghim. ' THE RESULT. "Why were you not out to vote last Tuesday?" the writer assea or a cer tain democrat the other day. Well," said he, "I forgot to register, ana i didn't like to swear in my vote; and . v then, I thought, one vote won't make any difference, and our folks are going to win in the state, anyway." And so it was to a large extent the state over, and that accounts for the loss of the legislature in so many close districts, and tbe close shave on carrying the state ticket through. In Cass county where the republicans elected their entire ticket, more than enough demo crats and populists stayed at home to have changed the result on the legis lative and county ticket. How do you account for this condi tion? asks some one! It is due to three causes. (1st.) Over-confldence, and the general belief that the fusion of the free silver forces could cot be beaten. (2d.) Lack of management or leadership; the fact that our great leader was in tbe service of Uncle Sam and his voice and energy were not directing affairs. (31.) The fact that men forget tbe importance of keeping an enemy down who has been thrown and are less active in fighting a beaten foe than one who has been successful; in other words the robbers were not now with their hands up to their arm pits in the state treasury; they bad been driven out of the state house and out of power; that's a good enough job to quit on for awhile. These three things account for the loss of 10,CD0 or 12,000 fusion votes in Nebraska this year. It is probable that cot one honest populist or democrat of last year out of five hundred voted the re publican ticket this year. They didn't win a clean victory because of one or perhaps more of the reasons set forth above. There were unquestionably enough stay-at home f unionist in any county in the state to have changed tbe majority of tbe legislature, and insured the return of Senator Allen. On the other--hand, the republicans made a mHe vigorous fight and got out their party strength better for two reasons: (1.) Tbe glamour and halo of a successful war. When Senator Thurston opened the campaign at Hastings, his first sentence was, "In this campaign there is only one issue, and that is patriotism." That, too. was the burden of all tbe speeches, from every republican platform. (2.) It behooved that party to make a good showing this year, or they might as well give up the fight in Nebraska for years to come. Three straight defeats and the rank and file would lose heart so that it would be an effort of a Hercules to bring about a victorious condition. 'These were the elements that pre vailed to bring about the result of No vember 8. True, fusion has elected the governor and every state officer, but it ba3 lost tbe legislature by a small m jority. Tbe reform element must better work next year. MDBDEKWO THE UHUDAOK Of all the grammatical and rhetoric! abortions ever brought forth in newa paperdom, The Evening News of last Friday was certainly the worst. Here is a fair sample of "English as she was writ" in the above mentioned sheet: Shortly after 1 o'clock Robt. Karnes came to town with two loads of wood, a boll dog foUowed the wagons, another canine of the same variety belonging to the Fair store, gazed across the way, something in the per sonal appearance seamed to strike the other as repugnant, and with on accord they made a dash at each other, and the fight was on. A large crowd was attracted and the dogs had to be palled apart. A little bad feeling was eagendered over tbe affair. Try Thm Journal a year. Ossenkop DlamliMd, District court opened Monday morn ing, and pending the disposal of some unimportant matters tbe jury was ex cused until the following day, wben tbe case of tbe State vs. Henry Osaen- kop.cbarged by his wife with statutory rape, was called for trial. The attor neys at once got into a squabble over some law point, and the jury was ex cluded from the room until three o'clock, wben they again took their seats. Tbe defense objected to the prosecuting witness testifying, on the grounds that she was yet the wife of the defendant, and the court sustained the objection. This practically knocked the bottom out of tbe case, and tbe defense offered no testimony whatever and submitted tbe matter, without argument, to the jury. Judge Ramsey instructed the jury to find a verdict of not guilty, which was. accordingly done, and in a few minutes young Ossenkop was a free man again. Orowinf It's? Trout. Fish Commissioner May and Super intendent O'Hrien of tbe state hatcher ies have luued into Omaha two bas kets of rainbow trout grown from fry tben half ro inch long, planted six yt-nra ago, in the head waters of the Wbito river. These particular trout were caught on the ranch of II. II. Russell near Glenn, Sioux county, and were planted from eggs procured from McCloud river, Cal., and hatched out at the state fisheries at South Bend. One whopper of a trout weighs six pounds and three oouces. Tbe others, ten of them, average four pounds each The fish are handsome and tbe way in which they have thrived is taken to show that some of Nebraska's trout streams can colonize those valued food fishes perfectly, World-nerald. An Aged FlooMr Gona. Mrs. W.B.Davis of .Liberty pre cinct, one of the pioneer women of Cass county, died on last Thursday week, and was buried at Union ceme tery on the Sunday following. Mrs. Davis was in her 77tb year, and became a resident of this county in 1857. She was tbe mother of seven children, six of whom, together with her husband, survive her. . She had four grandchil dren and one great granddaughter. She was a life-long member of tbe Cumberland Presbyterian church and passed away very happily. Rev. Mad den of Nebraska City preached her funeral cerrron. Mike Tritscb, the jeweler, met with an accident tbe other day that will keep bim from work for some time, lie was enroute for Omaha on bis wheel and whs making one of bis long distance ppuns down a bill, wben he collided with a team. Tbe team or its driver was not injured, but Mike did not come out so lucky. Wben he picked himself up he was tangled in tbe running gears of tbe wagon and had received a painful fracture of his right shoulder, besides other injuries. That is wby Mike carries bis arm in a sling. Louisville Courier. ' ; The Way to go to California Is in a tourist sleeping car personally conducted via the BurlioKton Route. You don't change cars.
