of IVorla , Neb. , under the head of "Somes
1'luln Questions. " If I'corla wcro near mo I
should like to visit Mr. Uhieluncr nnd talk
with him. lie seems to bo n sensible , level
headed man. Ills onirlal relation to the al
liance ought to give- weight to his views
among members of that organization , though ,
doubtless , Mr. B. would claim for his opinions
no greater weight than thorn Is In the reasons
ho gives for them , Although myself a farmer
and dependent ou that calling for my living , I
am not a member of tlio alliance. I approve
its declared objects nnd many of Its methods ,
but liavo never applied for membership hc-
causoof ago and physical Infirmities , which
would render It dlllleult forme to attend tlio
meetings. I have observed with rrout regret
that the meetings and newspaper organs of
the alliance are being used for the promulga
tion of homo liimnclai schemes which would
work far more injury to the farming Interests
than good , could tlioy lo carried Into practice.
Mr Hint-Inner happily exposes ono of these
In the Icttor to which I have referred. I hope
ho will continue to write.
Daniel Webster , who had probably studied
Hie-so questions of ilmmco us profoundly as
any statesman whom our country has ever
produced , once said that "tho most successful
expedient over devised to cheat the laboring
classes 6f mankind Is irredeemable pitpur
money. " Tlio remark is as true today as
When he littered It. Yet wo have among us
professed currency reformers who advocates
the Idea of cutting loose from the precious
metals us a standard of values and in effect
adopting "Ihitmonoy" la order to boom prices
and pay delits easily. Tholr schemes , If
adopted , would result In Incalculable distress
to the farmers and nil laboring men and
would leave them worse In debt than they
uro now.
Let 111(1 ( congratulate the farmers and the
country generally on the happy outcome of
silver legislation In congress. The law iliuilly
enacted seems to me preferable to cither the
house or the senate bill , as originally missed.
The silver product of the country will servo
us a basisof a paper currency expanding
yearly , mid after tlio Jlrst day of July next

Murrlok County Independents.
CRN-THAI. CITY , Neb. , July SO. To the Edl
tor of Tin : BEL : The independent convention
of Merrlck county met.at the court bouse to
day. Twelve delegates wcro elected to th
state convention und threes to the senatorial
convention. A county central committee was
appointed and u new convention will bo called
later to nominate a county ticket. Abon
fifty delegates wore present , representing
eight of the twelve townships in the county
The deliberations of the convention wcro
presided over liy a man who Is said to bo ni
itinerant phrenologist. Ho is better knowi
hero as a third party prohibition orator , inn
who , by the way , was not a delegate to th
convention. In a very eloquent ( i ) am.
pathetic appeal , ho nilural ] the new part. }
people tostaiid together and try nnd save th
country. In speaking of tho-conduct of th
government ami of political affairs generally
ho said : "Our flag is disgraced and -waves
over a nation of white slaves. " A man wh
is eapablo of giving expression to such ;
sentiment is an enemy of his country , and 1
is astonishing that an Intelligent gathering o
American farmers would listen to such treti l"
BOimhlo rot \\ithout protest.
A delegate who had taken part in a venul
llcnu primary was voted out , the provntltiij
sentiment seeming to bo that any one wh
hud anything to do with the old parties ha
no business in the alliance , or the new part }
cither , which they appeared to regard as tlu
SUMO thing , Mr. Jay llurrows to the contrary
notwithstanding.
The prohibition party canio in for no par1
of their anathemas , mid one delegatedeelarei
that today there were really only two parties
in this country , viz. , the people's party an
the prohibition party.

CIIP.TI : , "Nob. , July 27. [ Special to Tn
BKB. | The political campaign In this count y
has now fairly opened. Tlio ropuDllea u

the candidates all being farmers. The alll 1-
Dnco on Saturday followed suit and nomi [
nated a whole ticket of farmera , excepting ,
of course , county attorney. Everyone is f '
walling to sea vrlmt the democrats will do.
The linpivsslon Is that they will endorse the '
nlllanco ticket , which will make the election
of that ticket a foregoing conclusion , Tlio al-
llnnce movement hns been gaining strength
in this county of late to such an extent that
posted republicans admit the alliance to ittf
the controllng power in the county this fall.
What offset this will liava on the republican
ptatu tlclcot i hunt to tell at present. The
nomination of George Hastings for attorney
general hns given the greatest satisfaction to
the whole i > coplo of Saline county , lrrosioc- |

an Immense majority. The balance of the

nominated for congress by the Columbus
convention , your reporter hns been making
Inquiries to ascertain the feeling of members
of tlio different parties hero relative to his
candidacy. Republicans uro naturally opposed -
posed to Kern from the fact that ho has
n ever been n straight republican since com
ing to this county , nnd la fact has never
been anything straight , except th.it . ho has
been anxious to lx > elected to an ofllcc of some
kind for nt least six straight yrar.4. Ho has
nnido an effort once or Uvlua to pet the uotnl-
natlou for sheriff of Custor county , but , hav
ing no suptwrt , failed.
Previous to the Columbus convention it
was conceded that should thnt convention
nominate a good man of some ability ho
would dr.iw largely from the democrats of
this locality. But where ICom is known ho
will receive little or no support from
cither democrats or republicans and many
members oT tlio alliance party openly declare
that they will not support lit in. Ho Is re

Kxirrcu , Neb. , July 2.r > . To the Editor of
TIIK BF.H : The prohibition br.iuch of the

ohalr , or rather , in Stammers' ' dray , J. i' .
ICettlowell was chorister and Dee Smith
chief solicitor of campaign funds. Mrs.

her short stuy , owing to thesyinpathy shccx-
presses for the people of "Nobraskey" lu
their wrestle with the horrible demon rum I , '
and the touching manner In which she re
lates "bedbug" stories nnd sweet nnco-
dotcs , comparing "Nehraskey" with ngl -
gantk * Mop huehei. " Lust evening's lecture
bristled with startling statistics which I
have uo doubt would have staggered even
Ho'scvvatcr ' or Webster. "Nebraskoy" Is
credited , or rather charged , with some ,1,700
saloons , lu thin statement oulv Is Mrs. Halley -
ley In error. Thcro should bo three more ,
for we do not think this prohibition town
was counted when the collector for this dis
trict summed up thogrand total for "Xobrns-
key , " North Dakota and South Dakota.
Yes. prohibition is a howling success hero ,
nnd this county will go solid for the amend
ment , or at least the slpns point tnat way.
Of course , they wore snowed under at the
republican convention , but with the solid
democratic vote they will climb on top with
nn Immense majority In November.
i'rohlhition has proven very successful hero
since May 1. Only thirty kegs of beer wcro
shipped Into Exctcr the p'ist week , and the
average per month slnco May 1 has only hcen
12."i kegs and cases of beer and two barrels of
whisky. Ono cose ( lawsuit ) has been opened ,

A Correction.
CUMIRKTSOX , Neb. , July 30. To tbo Editor
of Tin : BCB : In tlio proceedings of the repub
lican state convention , as reported in several
of the daily papers , Mr. Billiard Is charged
with introducing a resolution committing the
republican party to prohibition. Allow mete
to correct the mistake. It was myself who
introduced that resolution , Mr. Ballardwas
opposed to committing the party to the
amendment. I write this in Justice to Mr.
Ballard , as the story might bo used to the
gentleman's detriment politically. It was
the mistake of the secretary , who erroneously
marked the resolution "Ballard" instead of
"Bryant. " The reporters wcro not in fault.

'COMPOUND LARD TAXATION ,
The Subject Will Oatiso n Big Fight in the

WASHINGTON-BritKAU Titn OHAIH Dec ,

WASHINGTON , IX 0. , July w. 1
There is to be a big light In the bouse this
week over the old subject of taxing compound
lard ; under the guise of protection to the
farmers' ' Interests. Ills the ancient contest
between the pork packers of Koston nnd the
compound lard manufacturers of Chicago.
The former see the latter driving their busi
ness to the wall , as compound 1s taking the
place of slaughter house lard , nnd especially
Is it doing so with the laboring classes who
want , with low prices , freedom from disease.
A bill Is to bo called up during the week
which will place the sale of compound lard
under the control of the commissioner of
Internal revenue , the same as liquor. * tobacco
and oleomargarine , and impose a tax upon it.
Tlio idea is of course to muke It sell at higher
prices so that the slaughter house article
willOhnvo a greater demand. Com
pound lard is mndo largely from
cotton seed oil , nnd the south Is up in arms
against the proposition to tax It. The contest
will bo warm.
It Is probahlo that Senator Paddock's pure
food bill placing all adulterated articles of
food on the same footing will be substituted
for the bill reported from the house commit
tee on agriculture. There can bo no objection
to that measure. It prohibits the adultera
tion of any idad of food so as to bo injurious
to health , and compels all food articles to bo
sold for Just what they are.
There was considerable amusement afforded
close watchers of the proceedings of the
senate by the discussion which took place
upon tbo mnnnccment nnd policy of Indian
schools. Step by step as the discussion pro
ceeded was there disclosed evidence of the
truth of the published reports of the proceed
ings lu executive sessions at which the nomi
nations of Indian Commissioner Morgan and
Superintendent of Indian Schools Dorchester
wcru continued. It was upon the publication
of the reports of these sessions that Senator
Uolph instituted his "investigation" of the
manner in which proceedings in executive
session became known. It is said that the
Oregon senator was not moved thereto solely
by a sense of public duty , but because the
publication of the fact that ho advocated the
confirmation of General Morgan's ' nomi
nation in an effective speech tended
to place him in an embarrassing attitude be-
forosomo of his constituents , who imagine
they had cause to expect other things from
him. Hy the way. that Investigation is still
undisposed of on the executive Journal of the
senato. The recommendation of the commit
tee that tlio contumacious correspondents bo
hauled before the bar of tbo senate , to be
dealt with for contempt , was rejected by a
fair majority , but there yet remains to be
acted upon the committee's alternative recom
mendation that the correspondents bo certi
fied tc the United States attorney of the Dis
trict of Columbia for Indictment and prosecu
tion on a charge of seditition. Tlio corre
spondents , us usual , are the only ones who
came out of the investigation with either
credit or profit. They wcro kept under sub-
pojnn bv tbo committee ) Jlfty-ouo days and
when discharged each received a chculc on the
disbursing offlcor for $15' ) , upon which , If
congress will ho kind enough lo adjourn in
time , they will yet enjoy their summer vaca
tion.
Tiir.r FBAII TUG r.vir.
It was not known by tlio public until today
that the National rltlcs , the crack militia
company of the capital , desired to make atrip
to Europe this summer as an organization ,
but were refused passports on account of ob
jections from the governments of Great Brit
ain and Germany. Application was made
through the state department , but Great
Britain feared it would excite Ireland to revolution
elution , while Germany did not want her ter
ritory invaded by any armed body. Franco
had no objection.
A novel instance of bail security is before
the public of Washington. Now it is in the
interest of B. Shepard White , the voung
dude who cut such a wide swath in society
till a few days ago , when lie was arrested
upon the charge of forgery and embe/zlc-
: ncnt. Thcro are in this city men who are
professional bail givers , who for a certain
per cent of the bail security required furnish
the proi > er bond for the accused. Those men
own real estate and some of them can furnish
security in almost any amount. Thcbusiness
is conducted on the same general principle
that bonus are furnished by corporations for
county , state , municipal und other ofllcors.
A paper is being circulated among the society
friends of U. Shepard White , and subscrip
tions are being made for the puposo of paying
uprofessionalbailertogcttlic young man out
of Jail. Less than six weeks ago society hero
labored under the Impression that the young
man was on the verge of marrying the
daughter of one of three or four prominent
men in congress. Ho seemed to have the
pick of the Hock. White has promised , if his
friends will got him out of prison , that ho
will have the prosecutions nollod and that ho
will give up las expensive uaoits , go to work
and try to he a man.
Speaker Icced Is expected , as soon as the
democrats In the house show a factious dis
position to obstruct legislation or demand a
ijuorum for the transaction of business , to
summon all members to their seats and grant
no leaves of absence except on account of
sickness. This would bo as hard on ono side
as tbo other , as there are quite as many dem
ocrats as republicans absent.
The announcement by Secretary of State
Blalno that Vice President Morton will visit
Bar Harbor during the first week of August
has created a flutter , socially , ut thnt resort.
Senator Teller says that there Is absolutely
no foundation for the story to the effect that
ho is ono of a party of gentlemen who have
purchased the Denver Kocny Mountain
Kows , and who intend to consolidate that
paper with the Times of the same city. The
senator says ho never owned any' Interest in
a newspaper and docs not care to own any
now or hereafter.

DM MCWNTJ , la. , Julv 27. [ Spcclnl to Tun
Dei : ] . From present indication ) thcro is goIng -
Ing to ho a pretty warm campaign in sotno of
tbo congressional districts of Iowa , and some
of the republican candidates need not bo
surprised If they got left. Probably the
closest contest and the warmest fight will
takaplaco in the big Eighth district.
The convention at Crcstou the olbor day
started the ball rolling by the nomination of
Major Anderson of IVemnnt county , who
served one term In congress by defeating
Congressman Hepburn nn the railroad light.
Art was stated in llio dlsp.itch at the time ,
the Crcston convention was hold under the
auspices of the farmers * alliance , nnd they
really had another candidate in mind. Hut
the politicians got the upper hand nnd suc
ceeded In putting up Major Ander
son. Some of tlio democrats of the
district have already endorsed An-
der.soii. notably Adams county , und Itisinotxj
than likely ho will bo endorsed by the demo
cratic convention. Lucas county democrats
have , however , instructed for Hon. H. L.
Bestow , who was dofontcil forllimtonaut gov
ernor last fall. The republicans will rciiom-
Inato Congressman tTii-k.
In tbo Seventh district there is a defection
In the republican ranks ever the nomination
of Captain Hull. The defection'as yet in not
very formidable , bolngconlhicd principally to
Colonel II. J. Uudd of Knoxvllle , who has for
many years been an cflleiont worker for the
party and thinks ho should bo rewarded in
some othei' manner than by lilt by lucre. Ho
says he will bo a candidate before the demo
cratic convention , imcl if not endorsed , will
come out Independent. It is possiblohis am
bition to bo a candldato will bo satisfied , es
pecially as the democrats have about three
thousand majority to overcome and have
hardly the ghost of a show for success.
General \Voaverls talked of at a candidate
for congress in both the Sixth nnd Seventh
districts , but It is doubtful If ho will bo a can
didate In either. The democrats of Poweshlck
county , in the Sixth jlUtriet. held a conven
tion yesterday and resolved In favor of Sena
tor Stewart for congress. Tlio republicans
will nominate Major Lacy , nnd bis chances of
election nro exceedingly Jo d.
The democrats of lienton county in the
Fifth district have instructed in favor of Mr.
Quash , and it is lilioly ho will bo tbo nominee
of the district. The republicans have gen
erally settled down upon ex-Speaker Strublo
of Toledo , brother of tliopi-eseiiteoiiKressinun
from tbo Eleventh district , and ho will make
a strong candidate.

in turn ing out one of the most wonderful in
ventions known to modern mechanics , viz. , a
watch which will run perpetually without
winding , or ratherwhich winds itself by the
motion imparted to the machinery by the
man who carries it , without cither n key or
stem-winding attachment. It is the inven
tion of Herman A'on Dor Ileydt of Chicago ,
nnd was patented in 1SS5. Only twenty-six
of these watches are in existence , ono of
them being owned in this city. Von Dor
Heydt's movement is wound for twenty-four
hours by fifteen jninutes active motion on the
part of the man who carries it. It has a con
trivance to automatically prevent over-wind
ing , and an attachment for winding In the
regular way when the owner is sick or not
using It. It is siimilo and compact In con
struction , and is said to keep better tlmo and
last longer than un ordinary watch , and it
can bo produced for substantially the same
expense.
