does not point out the defects of the struc

Dr. Wilkinson says.that the last two year :
have been very successful ones In the histor ;
of the hospital. There have been no sorioii
accidents und no epidemic * with deadly ro
liUltS ,
Ho suggests that the number of attendant ;
nt the hospital bo Increased , There is nov
employed 0110 attendant for overv cloven pa
tlents , and the supcrintciulent Insists tlm
ono attendant should have charge of enl <
four patients. This change , ho claims , wouu
unable the attendant to give his personal cur. .
to each patient and atnuso or Instruct him
and thus promote his recovery ,
The doctor has insisted upon exercise , litho
the open nlr , of every patient physically abli
to walk. This exorcise can bo observed enl ;
by taking a walk mice or twice a day In coni
uany of their attendants. Uettor results , In
holds , would no doubt' ho obtained it tin
minds of thu patients could bo exercised a
well as the bodies. Ho claims also that Ugh
nnd pleasant tnochauical work would hi
gladly performed by the patients. Bu
there are no provisions for supplying thi
labor , and the suporlntendimt says that soun
provision should bo made to supply the dell
cloncy.
Ttio superintendent says tint the India
criminate visiting of insane hospitals , whicl
now obtains , ought to bo discontinued. Th <
patlcuts do not enjoy being gazed at au <
criticized and gossiped about any moro thin
sane people would. To bu made a show o
twice a week ho says Is extremely injurious
Whllo t no pre-ss , the clergy nnd the mcdlca

BKB.J ywltzler's resolution ugainst radical
changes In the financial laws was referred to
the committee on banks nnd currency nt ttio
requestor Snnntor Slovens , who wUljos to
get an tsxpresslon from his people on thnt
subject. The senator from Lincoln will leave
In n foxv days for Ogalnlla to attend the irri
gation convention called for February 10.
"Atth.it convention , " ho snld in conversa
tion , "there Hill bo delegates from twenty or
thirty of the western counties. They will bo
representative men , nnd I wish to consult
with them to got nt the sentiment of the pee
ple. From letters received I have been led
to think that their viowsaro changing some
what. Now my opinion about taxing mort
gages agrees with that of Tin : HER ns ox-
proved in nn editorial in Its Sunday issuo.
Such n law would result in the lender In
creasing the interest or commission on lis }
loan suDlciently tomnkoup for the tax. It
would lessen general taxation and benefit the
man who doesn't have to borrow. The nnrty
whom the law is intended to benefit , the man
who is compelled to borrow , would not bo
benefited and might oven bo a llttlo worse off
because of It.
"I feel about a usury law as I do about n
prohibitory law. If it doesn't ' prohibit whut
good Is ill Thus far no usury law bus boon
devised that will prevent usury. I think
there is only ono way of reaching thnt ovll.
Thnt is n statute to override the common law
rule which protects the innocent purchaser
of a note froma dcfonso of fraud or usury In
enforcing its collection. Such nUw would
have to bo Kcnernl and would apply to n vast
amount of qogotlnblo paper now used In
commercial transactions. 1 am not very
clear ns to the effect such n measure would
ha\c on the business Interests of the state.
Wtdlo I think it would reach the usury ovll
It might cause a dlstmbancoin commercial
affairs that would overbalance its merits in
other directions. That is a matter I would
like to see discussed in the newspapers , by
writers with the ability and exporlcnco to
spc.Ut by authority.
"I ( im Inclined to think It would bo unwise
to pass nu enactment extending stays of exe
cution , though It might afford tomporniy re
lief. The rates of interest nro fair enough
ns they are. In discussing these matters the
inhabitants do not understand iu how dc-
plorablon position our people out west nro.
A drowning man catches at straws , A people
ple overwhelmed with financial burdens may
ask for extreme measures In the hope of Im
mediate relief for the time being , These
matters have been discusscu more fully of
Into , both in tlio papers nnd among Individ
uals , und I think I sco n more moderate tone
in the demands of the people. In my cnni-
patgn I rode ovni- great part of western No-
braska. I believe th.it 00 per cent of the
farms and teams in that suction are under
moitgage , nnd three-quarters of that money
has been consumed. There is the direst dis
tress all over that section , and thousands are
on the verge of starvation. My chief con
cern is to afford some measure of
relief for the thousands who are
virtually bankrupt. It may require
laws that will seem radical to the people In
western Nobiaskn , but if they really under
stood the desperate straits of our poonloout
west they would bo moro lenient nnd more
Justin their Judgment.
"I realize Unit wo nro beginning at the
wrong cud of the trouble. .Money is subject
to the law of supply und demand. If there
were moro in circulation it would not bo so
scarce nnd interest would not bo as high.
The government doesn't cheese to issue
enough to relieve our necessities , nnd the
people nro clamoring for the legislature to do
something. The problem is to find out what
thnt something shall be.

today the question of abolishing unlimited

pilnsof securing flguios on the loss to rail-
loads occnsloned by unlimited ttcltots , nnd
to total was nn astounding one. It was
llgured that the loss was pretty accurately
gauged by the profits of the scalpers , which
wore over half n million dollars la Chicago
nlono lust year , Throughput the United
States n conservative estimate of the loss is
$ . 1,000,000. It was agreed this amount eoula
bo saved by abolishing nil unlimited

Tlio only real argument against the change
was Us revolutionary chnwetcr , but in both

is the great strength of the republican vote

publicans by largo majorities. Although Mnd-

the two rival republican sections would have

the republicans received moro votes than the

New York , Fob. . ) . ( bpcctnl Telegram to
Tun BKB.I In its Washington corresponu-
cnco the World has a two-column interview
with President Harrison on the recent Indian
outbreak nnd the complaints made by the
hostiles. Among other things the president
Is quoted assaying :
"Sotno of Iheso grievances nro real , some
nro imaginary and some nro the Inevitable
consequences of our form of goveinment.
Tbc bison anil elk hnvo vanished from the
plains nnd thus the great national larder of
the Sioux has boon emptied , but no legisla
tive net caused or can remedy that. Tlio In
dian h natur.illy Improvident. H will
gorge himself and his family today
until his skin nnd their skins nro
bursting. Ho will cat ten days' ' rations in
In ono nnd then complain because a fresh
supply Is not forthcoming the Instant his
nppotlto beckons , In past years lie has often ,
no doubt , boon robbed by cattle kings , by
ugcnts and by truuers precisely us the army
during wnr was robbed. Then soldiers got
paper shoes and shoddy o\ercoats. The In
dian has often received poor clothing und
moldy rations.
"But I do not believe the Indians nro rob
bed today. When I entered upon my public-
duties certain men were recommended for
removal. The causes assigned would hnvo
icmovcd them under the civil service rnlo
Incomputcucy , immorality or dishonesty.
They were immediately removed and their
places filled by men recommended by authori
ties who were in a position-to know. Politi
cal or partisan reasons had nothing to do
with It. Some of tlio new appointees proved
hipuleient and were at once dismissed ,
whether Senator or Ucprcscntntlvo So-and-
So objected or not.
"I have no doubt the Indian thinks ho is
robbed , because by Saturday he forget" thiit
on the previous Monday ho ate tils entire
week's rations. Also , ho does not compre
hend why hii supplies are cut down and de
layed. That is not my fault , nor the
fault of the secretary of ihe interior nor
that of the commissioner of Indian affairs.
Congress does the cutting down of which
the Indian complains and the wisdom or
folly of this is beyond ray control. I do
know , however , that the moment congress
npproprintcs money , however much or little ,
every dollar of II is applied to the Indian's
wants , and the entire machinery of the In
dian department is put in swift motion to get
supplies out ns soon as possible. But mouths
or perhaps years hnvo elapsed since the
treaty was made and the Indian complaint
that the department has acted in bad faith.
The department has been in no wise to
blame.
" 1 am entirely satisfied with the present
administration of IndLin affairs. It is thor-
ougly honest nnd intelligent and no complaint
Tins Wen ( iivcn ngiiliist it during tno lusU
two , Tcars that has not nt once received
prompt attention , and tbo cause has been re
moved. " _ _
