compared with the receipts of the month
previous. The net or surplus cash in
the treasury to-day is $52,234,010 ,
against S74,491,969 , on November. The
interest bearing debt has been reduced
$11,000,000 during the month and now

Special Agent Jewell's Report.
In his annual report Supervising
Special Agent Jewell , of the treasury ,
states that the amount recovered and
paid into the treasury through the direct
services of tho officers and employes of
his division exceeds the total cost of
such services by $227,890. This is exclu
sive of tho amount involved in suits ,
commenced and undetermined ; of re
ductions of expenses recommended , and
additions aggregating $683,311 to the in
voice values of silk goods from France
and Switzerland.
In a discussion of the subject of jtn-
der-valnations and false classifications
he say :
While the chief officers of customs at
the principal ports have generally co
operated heartily with the department
in its efforts to enforce the laws and reg
ulations in these regards , tho abuses
mentioned continue. The unscrupulous
Btill prosper at the expense of the pubUo
revenue and of honest importers , and it
is manifest that justice and equality at
the custom houses cannot be secured to
all interested without a radical revision
of tho customs and revenue laws and a
reformation of the existing administra
tive methods and machinery. He states
that the high duty on opium and the fact
that it is easily smuggled , has made it a
favorite object of traffic with those who
wish to benefit by a violation of the rev
enue laws. It is highly desirable that
the recommendation of the department
made last year for its seizure and de
struction of the drug in that form where-
ever found should be speedily passed by
congress.
Errors in tho Hotiso Journal.
"Washington , Dec. 6. X congressional in
vestigation will bo tho outcome of the recent
discoveries of gro3B errors in the Journnl.of the
bonso for last session. A resolution for the in
vestigation has been prepared and will be pre-
tonted In a day or two. Speaker Carlisle Is the
flctim ' of one of the errors , and It Is such anln- >
Bxcnsable and annoying one that he is said to ' "
be quite exercised over it. When the Fiftieth
congress met last December , Mr. Carlisle's 6cat
In the house was contested. The speaker there
fore declined to perform the duty of appointing .
the committee on elections who were to sit as
ludges npon his case , and , following an old pre
cedent , tho committee was chosen by the. vote
3f the house. Tho Journal of last session , just '
printed , falls to make any note of this action ,
tiowever , but states that the speaker appointed !
nil the committees , including that on elections ,
rhts is a very grave mistake , as the precedent
idopted by Mr. Carlisle ia a most important
me , and the journal is the legal evidence of all
congressional action , to tho exclusion of the
Record and all other documentary testimony ,
fne speaker does not wish to bave it go into
ilstory that he selected tho committee to puss
lpon bis own title to a seat in the house. This
irror is said to be but a sample of the many to
> e found In the published Journal of tho last j
leision.
THE BOARD'S ANNUAL WINTER MEETING.

VremUtm * and Conditions.
The Nebraska state board of agricul

Lincoln , the capital of the state , under
provision of law , commencing on the
third Tuesday , January 15th , 1889. At
this meeting 'tho annual corn exhibit is

said before , we repeat : At our annual
fair it is too early to show corn to an ad
vantage. At tho season of the year the
winter meeting is held , corn is dry and
in position to be submitted to scientific
tests by which tho nctual per cent yield
can be obtained aud shown. This plan
of judging corn , inaugurated last year ,
was productive of best and most satis
factory results. It will bo soen pre
miums are liberal and quantity small.
While a minimum is fixed , no maximum
is given. Exhibitors will bo allowed
space for all they desire to exhibit. It
is desirable that tho secretary be in
formed early , as to entries and space
wished for „ that accommodating pro
visions may be made. The exhibit will
bo held in one of the state university
buildincs. Exhibits sent to the secre
tary will be put in placo and cared for
when parties can not attend in person.
All exhibits should bo in placo on the
14th if possible , or tho morning of tho
15th at farthest. The superintendent
and judges of exhibits will be appointed
and announced in duo time. Each
county and section of the state should
be represented at this corn show.
The following schedule of premiums
aud conditions are presented and will
prevail :
Exhibits must be grown in Nebraska ,
the growth of 1888 , and have been grown
by the exhibitor , or in the county com
peting.
Statements as to soil , manner of sav
ing , preparing seed , and time of plant
ing , mode of culture , and period of ma
turity to accompany each entry. En
tries to be made at any time before or

In each exhibit made under tho above

with one-half peck shelled , of same corn
as ears exhibited. This rule while it
would be advantageous and desirable to
both the exhibitors and the general ex
hibit , does not , of obligation , apply to
the collective exhibits. Collective ex
hibits must ho separate nnd distinct
from individual exhibits. Parties mak
ing collective exhibits can enter and
compete for minor individual premiums
with same varieties of corn , but not the
same specimens It will be seen that in
collective exhibits a scientific test is not
resorted to. It is simply "the largest

Professional commercial seed growers
or dealers are not permitted to compete
for premiums. Every facility for _ ex
hibiting will , however , be provided
them , free of charge , and they are in
vited to make exhibits.

FOREIGN PAPERS ON THE MESSAGS
What Leading JAmdon Jottrnalt Say oft
Document ,
London specinl : The London Morn
ing Post , commenting on tho president's ,
messago , says :
"If America is really inclined to re
sume negotiations on tho subject of tho
fisheries , it will find tho English minis-
tor animated only by a sincero desiro to
promote tho final and satisfactory ad
justment which Mr. Cleveland mentions.
While unablo to hold the same opinion
as Mr. Cleveland as to what the great
demands of the country are. the Post
thinks that it would be better if Eng
land would look to the disposition of
American statesmen in the future than
to wrangle over the past , "
The Daity News says that it would ex
press more regret for Mr. Cleveland's
acrimonious reference to the dismissal
of Lord Sackville , if Lord Salisbury had
not set the example. Mr. Cleveland , it
thinks , evidently has Lord Salisbur3's
fatal gift of a bitter tongue. In other
respects tho messago seems to be tho
most powerful performance which tho
president has accomplished , namel3r ,
the feat of saj'ing something both new
and true about protection. Tho Nows
further remarks that tho message is
likely to become a household word for
tho orators of Hyde Park and Clerken-
well. The fisheries question , it thinks ,
will have a smallar chance for settle
ment under Mr. Harrison than under
Mr. Cleveland , but , having ouly one
great party to please , tho chances for
the judgment on its merits may greatly
improve.
The Chronicle says : "President
Cleveland uses strong but true language
About protection. In regard to the
Sackville matter , it is satisfying to find
that he refers to it as an occurrence to
be deepbregretted. . This is iu marked
contrast to Lord Salisbury's flippant
sarcasm. We hope that Lord Salisbury
will consider it a sufficient reason to ap
point a successor to Lord Sackville with
out delay. "
Tho Standard says : "President Cleve
land's message might have been more
gracious and dignified if he could only
have effaced from his recollection the
unsuccessful election coup which sullied
an otherwise honorable record. Wo
did not expect to find him repeating his
original error to show that he is ashamed
of himself. " After quoting references
to tho Sackville matter in the message
the Standard proceeds iu a similar
strain through sentence after sentence
of solemn froth. "Englishmen , " it
says , can afford to laugh at such puerile
nonsense. Even Americans will not
pretend to take it in good earnest.
Doubtless Lord Sackville was techni
cally wrong , bur. Ministers Lowell and
Phelps spoke tho same way , though
not in the same degreee , scores of times
in their addresses to Englishmen , which
were read with much edification and
not the smallest trace of resentment. "
The Standard thinks the fisheries ques
tion now has a chance of being settled.
BY THE TELEGRAPH AND MAIL.
Two factions of Chinese highbinders
iudnlged in a murderous fight in the
streets of Portland , Oregon. Trouble
between the two crowds has been brew-
iug for some time. Tliej' met and each
began firing into the ranks of the other.
The shooting lasted about ten minutes
and resulted in the instantaneous death
of one Chinaman , three others being fa
tally and two seriously injured.
"Parson" Davies , Jack Kilrain's man
ager , was interviewed to the effect that
Kilrain will fight John L. Sullivan with
bare knuckles under the prize ring rules
for So,000 a side within ten or twelve
weeks. Bichard Iv. Fox , Kilrain's
backer , said that Davies stands ready at
any time to make the neccssarj * deposit ,
and Kilrnin is equally anxious to hear '
that Sullivan will agree to meet him.
All employes other than train hands ,
yard men and men employed in hand
ling tho motive power , of the Atlantic
it Pacific railroad company , wero noti
fied that those receiving over $50 per
month would be reduced 10 per cent on
their wages to date from November 1.
Tho train dispatchers , operators , and
all of the California division at once no
tified the superintendent that unless
wages were restored { they would stop
work.
The New York World's Woshington
correspondent says : If Mr. Cleveland
personally is much disappointed by the
result of the election , he does not give
any outward sign of it. He is even
more brisk and cheerful in manner than
at any time since he was elected presi
dent. It would indicate him as entirely
sincere in saj'ing that he looks forward
to a return to private life with absolute
pleasure.
Superintendent E. L. Campbell , of the
Wells , Fargo Express company at Kan
sas city , received word of the arrest at
Montgomery , Ala. , of Benjamin E.
Allen , jr. , the messenger who absconded
with several thousand dollars. He seut
two packages to Cleveland , O. , and that
office was wired to hold the packages , as
it was supposed they contained part of

Chicago dispatch : The general mana
gers of tho east bound railway lines
agreed at a meeting to-day to restore the
rates on all classes of dead freight , in
cluding grain and provisions , and to ad
vance dressed beef rates to a basis of 50
cents a hundred pounds and live stock
rates to 22V cents. The session lasted
all day. The restoration of rates is do-
la3-ed "five days longer than expected ,
the timo for the change to take place
being December 17 , instead of Decem
ber 12.
The lines in the transcontinental asso
ciation practically agreed at their meet
ing in Chicago to make a change in the
rates to the Pacific coast , in accordance
with the desires of shippers , who have ;
complained that the rates from Chicago
and other western points are too high ; ;
in fact , too near the New York basis. So
it is to be expected that tho new rates
will be put into effect _ b } ' Jonuary 1.
The rates will be graded in the following '
order : From Missouri river points , from '
Mississippi river points , from Peoria ,
from Chicago , from Detroit , from Cleve
land and so on. '

tion of the message in which the presi
dent treats of the tariff question was list
ened to attentively by the members on
both sides of tho house. The presi
dent's reference to the Sackville-West
incidect provoked laughter from tho re
publican side of the house , but no
demonstration was made by the demo
crats. When , at 3:15 : , the reading was

The Iron Trado Beview in its annual
rummaiy of tho Lake Superior iron ore
trade saj's'tlmt the year 18S8 exceeded
all others in the thirty two'ears' histo
ry of that , region , not onlj' in the
amount of the production , but also in

sold ore amounts to but II & 5 per cent ol

John Peter Biehardsou entered upon
his second term as governor of South
Carolina last week. His inaugural ad
dress was devoted chiefly to the consid
eration of the relations of South Caro
lina to the incoming federal administra
tion. The governor asks : "Will wan
ton and unconstitutional interference
be attempted with the management ot
our domestic concerns , or shall we. in
the strict observance of the organized
law of the land , bo allowed to unravel
the great fecial problem ? "
The Nord Deutsche Zeitung denies
that German officers are scattered
throughout France in tho role of spies
on the doings of the French. It men
tions thirteen French officers who had
been s'ayin in Germairy on a pretense
of .studying the language , and who were
e-jpelled between Sept. 22 and Nov. 17 ,
and the French officers have been offi
cially notified. The paper sa3s theii
presence in Germany is undesirable and
it hones that in future they will comply
with the notification.
A London special b\vs : : A daughtei
of Charles Bradlaugh who died recently
was buried yestordaj' in Woking cem
etery in a wicker coffin. The interment
was unattended by airy ceremony and
with the exception of the silent placing :
of several wreaths on the grave there '
was no display. Mr. Bradlaugh desired ;
to have his daughter's rennins cremated
but the retort was being repaired and
the great radical had to content him- !
self with the old established mode of
di.spo.siu/ the dead. ,
For sometime past tho proprietors ol I
the Willard and Solaris hotels and oth

UNION PACIFIC'S DEBT TO UNCLE SAM. ' {
Government Directors Urge that Somo Settle 11
ment be Mad * , /
The government directors of the Un- a
ion Pacific railroad company , iu theii III
annual report to the secretary of tho in- 1
torior , under date of November 19,1888 ,
Bay that they have assumed as a promise * v .
now beyoud tl Jscopo of discussion , ths- \ ' 1
necessity of ai&rndjustment botwoen the- |
government and tho railroad company j
'
for tho payment of funds horetoforo ad-
vonced as a subsidy for tho building ot • |
tho road. These moneys will be due * 1
says tho report , by the terms of agree- '
ment between the parties , in a fow years *
and it is manifest that tho road is not j
now , and will not bo then , in a condition i
to satisfy its obligation. It is equally- |
manifest that , should an adjustment not (
be effected , tho government will be com- *
polled to take possession of tho road and.
to operate it , a result so full of dangers , j
embarrassments and difficulties thatit j
should not be allowed to outer into dis- (
cussiou except as a last and unavoidable- ' .
solution of a problem not otherwise to- *
bo solved. .
Tho government directors are still of' '
the opinion that it would bo bettor for
tho United States to lose ovcYy dollar ot 1
its debt , and execute a roleaso to tho t
company , than to undertake tlio-
duties of a common carrier of goods.
and passengers , thereby establish- '
ing a precedent which'would suro-
ly creato mischief far beyond the-
benefits to bo derived from so-
hazardous an experiment. It must be
clear , too , says the report , that every '
year that is allowed to pass wiihout
liquidation and settlement of tho _ dobt ,
increases to a serious extent tho difliculJfl
ties of tho solution. A debtor company jfl
is necessarily under a disadvantage as * , H
compared with its unfettered rivals. ijfl
The questions between it and the gov- jjfl
eminent , the report says , aro to be- .9
passed upon and determined by a body- Jfl
of 111011 coming from different parts of {
the country , actuated , it may bo im ' | H
somo instances , by honest prejudice jfl
founded upon imperfect knowledgo or - S
distorted representation of facts , or not. tfl
infrequently by n conviction that some. .jfl
punitory measure should be adopted jfl
against tho corporation , even at tho risk. fl
of diminishing its ability to respond. | fl
That body of men meets only at inter- jjfl
vuls , and its attention is generally en- jfl
grossed with other and moro important 'flj
subjects of legislation. These and other-
|
elements of uncertainty embarrass the fll
movements of the company , and para- | flj
h/ze its freedom of action. It in as ira- ( M
portaut to tho government ns lo the | | H
company , saj's tho report , that all nee- \ M
cssary liberty shouM bo given the m-in- , fl
agers of the corporation to develop the flj
resources upon which tit * ) i-olvciicy of flj
the road must depend. It is not po.ai- I H
ble. it that sit- ' M
. says , a railway company -
uated as h tne Union Pacific shall re- flj
111iin a considerable length of timo in < H
'he same condition. It must improve- i H
or deteriorate. ' H
The government directors assume that : J H
some settlement should now bo made , H
and commend tho conclusion of tho ma- j |
] orit3r report of the commission ap- \j \ M
pointed under the act of March 3 , 1887 , * -j H
as sound , judicious and practicable , and' i |
they earnestly hope they will moet with. , M
the approval of congress.
By adopting these conclusions thoy H
are of the opinion that the government 'flj
will securo its claim beyond any reason- , H
able risk. Its lien , they assert , will be- H
placed in sueh shape as to make enforce- flj
ment possible in case of default in the H
payment of interest , and every j'ear ia H
the future will mako the ultimate pay- H
ment of the principal more probable. ' ]
In concluding their report , the gov- . H
Qrnment directors say that so far as they H
have been able to ascertain , tho Union. 'ifll
Pacific railroad has been in tho pant I H
rear managed with fidelity and intelliflfl
irence. Everything 1iik : been done that ! H
L-ouId reasoimhly be expected lo keep !
