LINCOLN was not successful in her
flght for the national encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic , but
she made a gallant struggle for It. Her
efforts wore admirably directed and the
second city and capitol of Nebraska is

enterprising , prosperous and aggressive.
A CAHKKUL reading of the , proceed

IT AIHT.AHS that the Tomoscal tin
mines of California are developing in a
way that promises to furnish all the ere
this country will require , and of a very
superior quality. According1 to Con
gressman Hewers of California the
mines are enormously rich , and the
ere runs from li ! to10 per cent of tin ,
while the famous Cornwall mines average -
ago only about 2 * per cent. The owners of
the Tonioiiciil mines nro Englishmen , and
they nro now putting up an immense
plant , expecting in a few weeks to ship
8 to 10 tons nor week. Before congress
moots , said Congrosbinaii Bowers , the
output will have reached hundreds of
tons weekly. If the possible yield of
those mines Is not greatly overestimated
the question of tin mining In the United
States would seem to bo practically
solved.

TllK SKNATOIllAL ISSUE IN OHIO.
The question of u suecoaaor to John
Sherman In the- United Sttitos samite
will undoubtedly piny n , part In the Ohio
cumpiiltfii , but thut It IH Ukoly to prove
u norlous can so of tllsturbiinco In the re-
publlciin ranks , ns the democratic news
papers profess to bollovo , or will loud to
any considerable defect ton in the Inter
est of the people's purly. as the advocate1) )
of thu now departure are claiming , Is not
probable. Just now the surface appear-
nncoH indicate that there is not the
most cordial fooling between the friends
of Senator Sherman and ox-Governor
Fornkor , but so far us these leaders are
concerned there is no reason to bollovo
the statement of the opponents of the
republican party that they are making
a light upon one another. Mr. Sherman
has explicitly said that If the next legis
lature of Ohio la republican and re-elects
him to the senate ho will servo
but that ho does not intend to en
gage in a scramble for re-election. Mr.
Fornkor has given It to bo understood
that Ho Is not hostile to Sherman , that
ho Is not especially seeking the senator-
ship , and that he intends to labor for
the harmony and success of the republi
can party. Major McKinley says there
IH no Sliornmn-Fornkor light in Ohio ;
that "the republicans are determined to
elect a republican legislature , and when
once elected It will bo qtiiot capable of
choosing a United Stales senator. "
There is nothing remarkable In the
fact that the republicans of Ohio are not
unanimous in favor of retaining Mr.
Sherman in the senate , lie has always
encountered more or less opposition In
the party. But the majority of Ohio re
publicans have in the past roali'/.od , and
doubtless still feel , that It would bo a
grave mistake to deprive the state and
the nation of Ills services In the senate.
Ills pre-eminent ability la fully appreci
ated by his constituents , and while it
perhaps may fairly bo urged that the
honors ho has received at their hands
have amply rewarded his great ser
vices , the fact that the demand for his
wisdom and experience is as urgent now
as at any time in the past can hardly
fail to induce them to continue him in
public life if they shall have the power
to do so. As to the assault that Is
being made upon him , by reason of his
financial views , by the advocates of
flat currency , it ought to bo
a source of strength to Sen
ator Sherman , since it empha
sizes the necessity of keeping him whore
ho can most effectively combat the finan
cial heresies of the PolTors and Simp
sons and their followers.
It will certainly bo a great misfortune
if the senatorial question is permitted to
disturb the harmony of the Ohio repub
licans , and whoever should bo responsi
ble for it would deserve to bo forever
consigned to political oblivion. The
campaign in Ohio has not boon formally
opened , but oven now the indications
are most favorable to republican success ,
and if the spirit that now appears to
gotforally prevail in the party shall bo
maintained , thoro'is every reason to ex
pect that it will achieve a signal victory.
FAttM JlltS IIMJVT ; 1ZV 110XUST DULLAll.
In answer to the qucation whether the
free and unlimited coinage of silver de
manded by the Ohio democratic pint-
form will catch the farmer vote , Major
McKinley Is reported to have said : "No.
The farmers of Ohio are among the most
intelligent of our population. They have
been studying this and other public
questions for y'ears and they know that
no part of our population is moro inter
ested in a good honest dollar than thoy.
They know that when they sell
Jhoir wheat they must give a full
bushel in measure , and in payment they
want a full dollar , worth 100 cents. They
can't measure their wheat in a short
bushel , nor do they propose to receive
for it a short dollar. " Every intelligent
farmer in the land can understand this
proposition.
It is to be presumed that the farmers
of Nebraska and Iowa , and throughout
the entire west and northwest , have
boon .studying thia question as carefully
and Intelligently as the agricultur
ists of Ohio , and having great
crops to dispose of and an assured mar
ket for them at profitable prices , they
will desire to receive good honest money
for every bushel they soil. Such money
the country now has , but could it bo
maintaino'l In that condition with the
free and unlimited coinage of silver , as
demanded by the democrats of Ohio and
Iowa ? Can wo throw open our mints to
the silver of the world and retain for
the currency Its present soundness
and stability ? Under such a pol
icy the government will cease to
bo a purchaser of silver. Every holder
of bullion can take it to thu mint and
have It manufactorod Into stamped
dollars. This would inevitably entail
the sliver standard , and then those
stamped pieces of silver would have a
purchasing power of the value of the
bullion therein and no moro. Mexico
has free coinage and its dollar piece Is
a legal tender for all amounts , but the
purchasing power of the Mexican dollar
at homo and abroad Is simply its bullion
value. Free coinage of silver
would export gold from the country , for
whenever the owners of silver all over
the world can soiut It hero and got for
sixteen ounces of It an ounce of gold ,
they will do it to the utmost possible
extent.Vo should take their silver and
they would take our gold. Can there bo
any doubt that this would result in a
depreclattou of thu currency ? The de
mand for the free coinage of bllvor with
out limit Is a demand that the
people of the United States shall
pay for silver bullion more
than Its market price , and such
a demand ought not to be made by the
producers of any commodity. The
farmer must accept the market value of
his wheat and corn , and equity and jus
tice require that the silver producer
shall do the same. There Is no valid
reason why a distinction should bo made
in favor of silver.
Under existing law the government
buys in the open market nearly or quite
the on tire domostlo production of
silver bullion at its market value
and issues treasury notes to the
full amount of the cost of the
liulllon. In this way there is annually
added to the currency circulating notes
of undoubted value , equal to gold , to an
amount equal to or grwitor than the in
crease of population and business. The
money and the credit of the country are
on a sound and solid basis , and every
consideration affecting the material In
terests and welfare of the people de
mands that they may bo maintained
there. No class of the people are more
deeply concerned In having this done
than the agricultural producers.
WITHIN a very few years a bettor foolIng -
Ing has boon growing up between pro-
testantsand Catholics. Kneh Is learn
ing that there Is good in the other.
Such eminent nrolatos as Cardinal Gib
bon and Archbishop Ireland have con
tributed very materially to this frater
nal recognition of the ono faith by the
other by attending public meetings hold
for the purpose of advocating great
moral reforms. Archbishop Ireland of
St. Paul , was a conspicuous figure at the
great mooting of religionists In St. Paul
recently to protest against the Fif/.slm-
mons-IIall prize-light. At the twenty-
first convention of the Catholic Total
Abstinence union , Miss Wlllard and
Mrs , La Fotra , protostanls and loaders
of the great protestant Women's ChristIan -
Ian Temperance union , were invited
guests and Miss Willard was enthusi
astically received. The fact is that
in this tolerant ago dogmatic differ
ences are rapidly giving way
to undenominational fellowship. There
is still a great gulf to bo bridged
but the secular world looks on hopefully.
OATHHOUN'I ) organizations seeking to
Influence the politlc.il action of their
members are un-American , harmful and
Wholly inexcusable. If a principle of
government and plan of campaign will
not boar tlio light of day it is contrary
to the American idea and should ba
abandoned by patriots. No secret so
ciety over has or over will for any con
siderable period oxoi't any controlling
influence in American politics among
Americans. This is true whether the
organization bo social , religious or
strictly political. As soon as a social or
religious secret society begins to inter
fere with elections , local or general , It
begins to decay and fall Into disrepute.
It may regain Its natuq and regain its
fame afterward , but not without entirely
abjuring political manipulations. The
know nothing , granger , anti-Freemason
and other organizations are examples
which those of today in this state and
nation should remember.
JACOU IIOUCK of this city has been
engaged by the democratic party to
stump Ohio for Governor Campbell.
This is only another proof of the des
peration of the democrats in Ohio.
Jacob should have his coat-of-urms
printed on a piece of solo-leather and
carry it to the Buckeye utato as a trade
mark. It might bo dilHctilt for him to
explain why ho put the farmer in that
wonderful piece of mechanism in a lawn
tennis suit , but aside from this the coat-
of-arms could bo used with great effect
as an illustration of the evils of a pro
tective tariff , the necessity for an in
come tax and the importance of a bi
metallic currency. The design Is so
unique that it will pass like a democratic
platform for any principle which an
orator may wish to aiscuss.
SuiCinns are too frequent now , yet
Prof. Felix Adler suggests that a com
mission bo designated by each state , con
sisting of three judges of the supreme
court and throe eminent physicians , for
the express purpose of authorizing sui
cides in cases of chronic invalids who
have no reasonable hope of recovery. Ho
would have the attending physician end
the misery of such existence , As a
theory in the professor's school of ethics
this will not probably make much head
way , but it is novel enough and ho is
eminent enough , to bring on no end of
discussion.
Tins Rock Island railway roaches

The now constitution of Kpntucky , which
was voted on Monday , was ratified by an
overwhelming majoriu * , " partly because of its
provisions on the subject of corporations. It
has two specially irood features , ono of them
being the abolition of lotteries and the other
the introduction of the Australian ballot sys
tem. There was some opposition to the con
stitution at the outset by the corporations ,
but that provoked so strong a sentiment in
its favor among 'other clmses that it was

The Gentile population of Utah is to bo
congratulated upon the victory achieved oy
tlio liberals In the Salt Lnlco election. Under
the circumstances it Is very significant. It
shows that the ( Joutilos have nofr been se
duced by the Mormon professions of an In
tention to obey the law against polygamy
and to withdraw the Mormon church from
active participation in polities. The strong
showing wbich the liberals have made will
chock the drift toward party dissolution and
the organization of parties on national
political linos. It will bo well for the Gen
tiles li they stand together , ignoring the
distinction between democrats nncl repub
licans , until the increase in the Gentile
populations shall have removed all danger of
tlio supremacy of the Mormon hicrachy in
politics.

Soon after I saw the gentleman ho was In

I started n trusted reporter after him to wit

turned and reported to mo what had taken
place , bolng in substance the same as ap
peared in yours , of tlio ! ld , I know ho was

At the same interview Dr. Bland told mo
that hu had , on his way to Rosebud the day
