Forscveril month it has lieen evident tluit there wiif aiol harmony in the iii!Tiae,eiiient .f the Fair. For Severn! years Mr. V. D. Jones lias heen superiiitei:;:ait and he cause his horses have heen uniformly succcssf ul in winning premiums there has -uisen a de cided and powerful opposition to the contir.ueucy of his occupancy of the position. The crisis came lolay at noon when the directors, by a vote of live to three, agreed to sustain Presi dent Windham in hie demand that the premiums in the ureenraceof Wednesday should not he paid. 'Rather than sif-n the warrant for the payment of thin money," said Mr. Windham, "I will tender to the hoard my resignation." The hoard then sustained the president. While all this trouble is imfortu n lie, Tub, Hi:iv'Li; believes it is for the best interests -.f all concerned that the facts shall be known. The cluir-e is op. nlv ma le that Mr. Jones "fixed" the race. I i y that it is meant that an a-recincnt was made for a division of the prize money. Nmv, while Tin: I ! i; k--M.l and also Presid.-nt Windham does in.t charge that this i a fact, the- public so believes and it is evident that some very radical changes must be made in the officers of (In- Fair if it is to be longer successful. Mr. Wind Jiam does not charge Mr. Jones with lining anything wrnn in re gard to the horse race arrangement. Ile only sees the inevitable - that some change must be made to sat isfy the people who are com plaining. In this fin: Ih k ai.i. be lieves he is ri-ht, alihou-h jn ,,,lr i , i .

I'in it.-el! is not a manufaclured article, (t is one ol the ori-iual llielals, an I is smelted from ores which contain tin, jusl the same as lead and silver, zinc ami iron are obtained by the smell in - of the ores which contain them. It is not proper to speak of "iiiauufacturiii--tin" any more than it would be to speak of inanulacturiii-- -old or sil ver of had. These ori-in.il metals are all found in various forms in the I'uiled Slates in very lar-e quantities lint until about two years a-o, no mine conlainin-- tin ore in pay in- quantities in the I'nited Slates has ever been discov ered. Io not misunderstand me. Hell metal, brass, ..older and steel are manufactured articles. They are made by the combination and treatment of ori-inal metals. We manufacture steel and iron -nods but we do not manufacture iron. Iron is a native product and is ob tained by -melt in--ami separe.tiu it from the substances which are combined with it in the different kinds of iron ore. Within the last two years tin ore has been found in the I'nited States. A very larye tin mine is now hem-- opened near Hill City, S. I. The Temescal mine of Cali fornia has been for some time pro duciii quite a quantity of tin. Very little of the ore has yet been smelted at the Dakota mine. How ever, tin is on the free list in the Mckinley bill, and remain there unless our own mines produce-a,- Hill tons of spare tin between now and IV.u. Mr. Pope cifn say to his demo cratic friend that there is not a factory which "manufactures tin" in the I'nited States, nor is there one on the lace of the -lobe. Tin is not a manufactured article.

AND ALL ENDS WELL. ; Plain Facts Against Pretty Fiction With Judgment Rendered as It ! bhould Be Calamity comintt UriJOjular. I I Ihe joint discussion between j Mry an and Field held at Teciimseh , was one of the most earnest and j powerful contests held in the state. I hose who heard the discussion of Mryan and Council two vears a-o l-ay that the discussion yesterday was much more loivefu! in every way ami doubly int( rest in-- trotn the fact that lor the first time since Mr. Mryan came to .Nebraska a few years a-o a- a .'audi. late lor c.ui slTCss, he has met his match in Jud j,e Field as a povvi rful debater on public que-tions The result ol the discussion is decidedly favor able to Jud-e Field and the tvpuh. beau cause in that part of t'u- state. Field stands hi-her in the estima tion of the public there than he did before the debate and Mryan lower. Field rose to the occasion and hammered Mryan like an aressive n-,iiui who Knew his power and was brave eiiou- h to u-e it. w hile Mryan appeared at a disadvantage as compared with his former triumphs in oratory. Mryan was not weak in his effort, but Field was stron-. Heretofore Mr. Mryan has de pemled much on his line manners, his personal bearin-- and the smooth aetiu-- in which he is so accomplished. Hut the sled-e ham mer blows of Field carried the dis mission to a hi- her plane, so that the fine manners of Mryan were lost in the shiil'lh-. There was a very lar-e and atten tive audience. Durin- the openin by Hryan. the applause was notice able weak. This was evidently a surprise to the speaker and he was not able to conceal his embarrass ment. Field appeared lo recognize the situation and when he arose to speak, after waiting for the splendid applause to subside, there was a look of such stron-- determination in his face, and his manner was so earnest, and his attack so powerful, that ;i short, quick yell went up from the republican side and a en cral exchan-e of friendly nods seemed to nay. "We've ot you now, Mr. Mryan, where you've "ot to come down from your hih perch of fine manner) and line oratory and talk business." Mryan bei;an his speech by de feuding his record in coti-ress. lie said his office its a representa tion was a national office ami in his legislative acts he had voted and acted as to the nation's rood and not simply as the reprscnt itive of his state. In defending his acts Mr. Mr) an showed just a little nerv ousness, but when he came to the closin-- fifteen miiitues bis temper and cha-rin were plainly mani fested. Democrats excused Mryan for his bad appearance on the -round that he was sick from a Ion-; ride the ni-ht before on a freight train. Mryan resented keenly the char-v that he was a calamity howler, but said if to defend his political princi ples wiis to lie ;i calamity howler, then he was one. Field -ot back nt him on this point in a manner that made a fitting climax to the debate. "My friend dod-vs the calamity business." said Jtulv Fi-ld. "and I don't blame him. lie oti-bt to be ashamed of it and -o ou-hl every man who has u itn, s-e. the ,-plcu-did pro-re-s ot this people. 1 have been hep- since ,: and 1 .am proud ol Ni bi .i.-ka and oi what her pro-pi- have a.chi, ved.
