TJIK HAS TIMS CON'KATIOX.
Tomorrow the indoiwndcnt convention
xvlll moot at H-mtlngs to ndopt a plat
form and nominate n candidate for asso
ciate justice of the supreme court of Uio
state and two regenti of the state uni
versity. The convention promise * to bo
largo and judging from the
names published in the press
It xvlll bo mndo up chiefly
of representative men particularly from
the interior districts. Whatever may bethought
thought of the principles of the inde
pendent party its members must com
mand attention nnd roi oct. Its delib
erations will bo followed xvith intense
interest by the people of Nebraska , and
its platform xvlll largely determine tho'
political notion of thousands of person ?
in this state xvho nro yet xx-avoring in
their choice botxx'oen the parties.
There are three grave dangers con
fronting the orgrnlzatlon : The sub-
treasury foolishness to xvhich the Cin
cinnati convention committed itself ; the
secret oathbound caucus by which the
party has thus far been manipulated
by bosses , and the machina
tions ol the C defeated but sullen
prohibitionists. If the convention shall
espouse the sub-treasury plan and its
kindred fiat money doctrines it xvill
forfeit the respect of the business com
munity nnd deserve the condemnation
of thinking men in all ranks of society.
If it shall permit the prohibitionists to
direct itspiocoedlngs to their uuvuntnpo
and reopen the question xvhich the
people determined by n majority of
CO,000 in November , 181)0 ) , it will commit
political hari-kari and must take the
consea nonces.
The Lancaster county convention has
declared ill strong terms against the so-
orot caubctts and the control of politics
by oath bound organizations. This in
accord with the American idea. No se
cret society over has or over xvill for any
considerable length of time control the
politics of an American community.
The fights xvhich are conducted
in this land on all political
Holds must bo kept free from
the hidden influence of dark lantern
meetintrs and secret cabals. No organi
zation xvhich seeks political po\\-or by in-
lluonees oir.inating from behind barred
dooi'rf desorx'es the confidence or support
of freemen. For the honor of the state
and American patriotism it is to bo
hoped the Hastings ronclavo xvill declare -
clare its unalterable opposition to btato-
mnking in the lodge room , and partisan
political movements influenced by grips' ,
pass-words and oaths of becrecy.
A STAA'DIXO
A sick man lies on n cot in the city
jail sulToring for medical attention or
receiving suck as may bo extended him
from a physician's absistnnt under pro
test. Whatever sorvieo is extended to
him by the city physician or his representative -
sontativo is grudgingly performed.
The city physician holds that it is a
gratuitous service for xvhich the county
physician Is remunerated. lie may
have heart enough in it so
far as the individual ie
concerned , but ho is thoroughly out of
patience xvith the city council and board
of county commissioners for iraplicdly
leaving upon his hands c.ises for xvhich
the laxv provides the county authorities
shall provide. In consequence of this
fooling the city physician xvould bo a
philanthropist rather than a doctor of
medicine if ho performed such service
as circumstances compel at his hands
with the attention duo the unfortunates
in the city jail. The fact , is the jail pa
tients are neglected. They are visited
and treated , but that is all.
Another dick man has boon foisted
upon the county authorities by a prevar
ication. Being too siok to return to the
city the county physician is forced to ad
minister to his xvants. The county phy
sician believes that this patient
should bo the charge of his co-
laborer in the city. Hence ho gives
him that half hearted attention xvhich
naturally comes from the feeling that ho
is being imposed upon in having to treat
the sulToring man. He is paid a salary
of 81,800 a year. The city physician re
ceives $2,000 a your. The $1,800 comes
out of the county fund , moro than four-
fifths of xvhich is contributed by the
city. The city physician's remuneration
comes from the city fund , but
practically the entire $3,800 is taken
from the pockets of city taxpayers. It
therefore matters very little to the indi
vidual taxpayer bo fur as the cost of the
service is concerned xvhich ofiloor treats
these patients.
It matters a great deal to the people
of this city , hoxvovor , that it can be
Dossible for a ununor or other unfortu
nate person tosulTor from neglect
because these txvo salaried ofll-
cors cannot agree between them
selves as to what duties properly belong
to each other. It is a crying disgrace
that for a full your this uiibcoinly con
troversy should have gone along un
settled. The people of Omaha are in
dignant at tlio txvo physicians , at the
council and the board of commissioners
that bo disgraceful a possibility should
bo known and recognized and yet not bo
provided against. In the name of de
cency take this shameful contention out
of the hands of the two physicians and
olToct some sort of settlement xvhich
shall relieve the community from the
stinging mortllication which its frequent
recurrence occasiona
T11K ISDEVEXDKNT GliXVKA'TIONS.
The county conventions of the inde
pendent party , held Saturday lust indi
cated a very general Gontimont in the
party favorable to the Cincinnati plat
form , with the sub-treasury plan in
cluded. The Douglas county convention
xvas csDcclnlly careful not to be misun
derstood as to this matter , but it is to bo
noted that its endorsement of the sub-
treasury scheme is made xvith a reserva
tion. It is to hold good " ( so
long as the government shall Issue
money on whiskey , tobacco and
foreign goods in bonded warehouses nnd
to national banks , and no longer , " This
is a quite remarkable utterance , and tlio
authors of the platform , for the en-
llghtomont of the party , ought to have
accompanied it xvith some explanation
of hoxv the government Issued money on
the commodities named. It xvould bo a
very interesting piece of information tea
a great many people who are Ignorant
of the fact alleged to exist. ! 3ut
suuposo it bo admitted , for the wake
of argument , that tho. government
does Issue money on whiskey , tobacco nnd
foreign goods in bonded warehouses , If
the Independents regard this us an alniHo
is it their idea of reform tb increase the
abuse ? Do they think the wrongs they
nllogo exist xvlll bo sooner rstnovod by
adding to them ? Would they , for in
stance , ns n means of destroying trusts ,
ndvlso that combinations should bo
formed to control every department of
business in iho country ? They de
clare In olTcct that they xvlll bo satisfied
only xvhon the government shnll prac
tice toxvnrd thorn xvhut they implicitly
confess to bojui improper use of gov
ernmental powers. This Is not the way
of wise and sincere reformers , nnd the
independents make a great mistake if
they suppose they can maintain n party
organization on such a platform. They
xvill not bo able to convince thoughtful
and honest men thnt they are very
anxious for reform xvhon they declare
their xvilllnjrncss to participate in what
they profess-to bohovo are abuses. If it
is xvrong for tlio government to issue
money on whiskey and tobacco the
xvrong cannot bo mudo right by requlr-
Itifr the government to extend the prac
tice to wheat , corn and other commodi
ties.
ties.Thoro
There nro principles ax-owed by the
independent party which every good
citizen xvill approve , but its attitude re
garding the sub-treasury scheme and its
endorsement of the class privileges pro
posed in the Cincinnati platform
ought to bo fatal to it ns
a political organization. No
party can obtain a permanent foothold
m this country xvhich advocates a policy
so utterly , hostile to the purposes for
xvhich the government xvas ordained ns
Iho sub-treasury scheme , whatever its
pretensions may bo in other respects.
The intelligent farmers of the country ,
xvhoso interests it is assured xvould bo
advanced by the adoption of this scheme ,
xvill assuredly como in time to see that
nothing could happen , in the way of
legislation , moro certain to result to
their injury , and the masses of workingmen -
men cannot reasonably bo oxpoctcd to
have any sympathy xvith n plan xvhich
leaves them wholly out of consideration.
TIIK AVmO.V.U , FINAbCRS.
There xvas nothing very extraordinary
in the fact that Secretary Foster , being
in Ohio , should confer xvith Senator
Sherman regarding financial affairs.
That it ) , there xvas nothing in the cir
cumstance to xx-arrant an inference that
the national treasury is not in a condi
tion to meet all obligations , or that the
secretary is apprehensive that it xvill not
be. But there is disappointment regard
ing the extension of the ! } per cent bonds ,
and as the secretary of the treasury
is very anxious to help the
money market , and this xx'ould bo accom
plished to the extent of $2.- ,000 , < )00 ) if the
bonds xvoro extended , the expected fail
ure of that plan makes it nocoss try that
some other way bo devised to moot tlio
noxv urgent demands of the money
market.
In such an exigency nothing could bo
moro natural and proper than that Sec
retary Foster should consult his prede
cessor in that ofllco , and the man xvho
is unix'orsally recognized as the highest
Ihiancial authority in this country.
It appears from the dispatches
that Senator Sherman is not
favorable to the plan of extending the
1 } per cents , probably for the reason
that ho does not think it good policy to
depart from the course that has boon
maintained by paying the debt as it
matures. To do so is certainly a con
fession of weakness in the national treas
ury , and Mr. Sherman appears to believe
tbero is no excuse for making such n
confession. Ho is reported to have ex
plained to Secretary Foster that the
treasury can easily take care of
these bonds xvhon they fall duo ,
and this being the coso it xvas clearly
xviso to take care of them , wiping out
that much of the debt and the interest
charge on it. As to the matter of ad
ditional circulation , xvhich Secretary
Foster nail explained all alongxvas the
real motix'o for proposing an extension
of the bonds , Senator Sherman ap
peared to regard it as not at nil serious.
Ho took a very sanguine view of the
outlook , and saying that the
gold xvo have sent abroad xvould begin
to return as exports enlarged , and
that tno movement ot tno crops
and the payment of now revenues would
make things easy. It is to be hoped
that this view of the senator xvill bo
realized , but the conditions do not
appear altogether favorable for the re
turn of any largo part of our gold at
onco. Well-informed opinion is that
xvo shall have to take back a consider
able amount of our securities hold in
Europe before xx-o shall begin to recoix'o
any gold in payment for our grain. It
would seem thnt the banks have
made a mistake in not secur
ing the 4 } per cent bonds hold
by private parties and issuing additional
currency on them , but since they have
not dona this it is not clear that the
secretary of the treasury has any moans
at command to help the money market ,
beyond what will como from taking up
the bonds. It is presumed that ho is
purchasing the required monthly average -
ago of silver , and beyond this there
seems to bo nothing ho can do to In
crease the circulation. The announce
ment of the treasury policy xvill bo
awaited xvlfli great and general interest.

His wonli , hoxvux-cr. travelled swiftly back
to loxva and created , naturally , the profoundest -

according to Boies , for ten years
had been galloping Into bnnkruptcx
nnd xvoro noxv overwhelmed xvith
mortgages , knoxv , us n matter of fact , that
tnoir Ihirtx'-llvo jenrs of republican self-
gox-erninent had left them xvilh scarcely a
dollar of state indebtedness nnd xxith a good
balance In bank. Thov knoxv that duiinir
the ten years mentioned by Holes their
population had increased from li-.Mil5 ( ( to
IU1IS'JO , or nt the rate of 17.01 per cent , and
that their stale nnd county indebiodncss
taken altogether had decieased per capita
from the tilvial sum of § 2.1b lo thu.still mow
trivial sum of 31.01 , leaving them ns to pub
lic indebtedness second in honor

xvholo state xvas "covered-1

they xvoro growing one-seventh of all the

no political division on the earth's surface
xvhoso fariLor ns a xvholo xvuro better off
than that described as loxx'a. , .
The republicans , xvhose gox'brnraont had
accomplished these results , thought logically
that tlio best nnsxver to mnko to Governor
Coles' hurtful attack upon the state xx'ould
bo the nomination of a representative farmer
xvho xx'ould stand out as nn illustration of the
men xvho xx'oro culttx'ating loxva's Holds "at a
loss. " Accordingly they nominated Mr.
Hiram C. Wheeler , and the democrats are in
a laughable ailomma. Mr. Wheeler is shoxvn
to bo worth about $100,000 , made out of
Iowa's fruitful soil , and a portion of the
democratic press is attacking him
as nn aristocrat nnd n bloated
capitalist. JUit it is also shoxvn that tie oxvcs
about $ ( ! UOOi ) on a mortgage , nnd the ether
half of the democracy are denouncing him
as n bankrupt and citing him in proof of the
gox'ornor's charge that farming in loxva Is a
failure. This is a ludicrous situation , nnd
the democrats must got out of it as bust they
can. So fur as fttr. Wheeler is concerned , ho
Is xvilllng to gix'o them all the votes thov can
obtain , xvhotbor in an attempt to show thnt
funning in Iowa is bad business because it

IlAitnisox , Nob. , Aug. ! ( ! . [ Special to Tun
BEI : . ] As the harvest excursions are duo in
the near future Sioux county xvishes to pre
sent claims for thu consideration of those
xvho may take adx'antago of the opportunity
ofterod to visit our stato.
Sioux is the extreme nortbxvost county of
Nebraska. It is seventy miles north nnd
south by about thirty miles east nnd west.
It contains 1,300,000 acres of land. Of this
about onc-sixtqouth has bouu proved upon ,
leaving about one million txvo hundred nnd
eighteen thousand seven hundred and ftfty
acres in the county , the tltlu to xvhich Is still
in thu government.
Sioux county has advantages possessed by
no other part of the stale. The pine Hugo
crosses it from east to xvest , and this ndgn Is
cox-pred by pine trees from which lumbar is
obtained a great deal cheaper than in other
portions of the stato. It contains many small
streams , along the banks of xvhich pine tim
ber groxvs , furnishing the settlers xvith posts ,
fuel and logs xxithout cost. The timber
makes it possible for the settler to improve a
piece of land at much less cost than can bo
UOIIH In the timborless parts of tno state.
Moro than this , the coal Holds of Wyoming
are close at hand and fuel of that kind can
bo obtained nt small cost. Tlio great drnxv-
back to the settlement of the other portions
of the state wus the high price of lumber and
fuel , and both of these dllllculties are dona
axvny xvith in Sioux county.
The county is crossed from past to xvcst by
the Fremont , Elkhorn ts Missouri Valley
railroad ntid the B. & M. railroad crosses tno
northeast part of the county , and thus the
coal Holds on both lines nro opened to the
countv , and besides furnishing fuel cheap
also create a mat hot for tlio products of the
soil.
soil.Tho
The altitude is high and the air flue and
bracing. The nattx-o grasses are of the rich
est quality and catllo and hort > cs thrive
thereon both summer and xvlntor , and right
here let It be understood that the xvlnlurs
here are much milder than in the eastern
portion of the state , thus mnldng It a more
pleasant place to live and also makes It so
that the stock grower can xvintor his stock
much cheaper than in the older portions of
the stato.
The soil Is X'0-v prodnctix'o nnd the crops
Just being gathered xvlll compare favorably
xvith these irom any part of thu stato. The
xvhirnt , outs , barley , llax , etc. , grown hero
are of excellent quality , xvhllo tlio yield is
large. 1'oUUous nnd ull kinds of vegetable *
thrive xvoil and in quality excel those produced -
ducod In the older suttlod parts of the stato.
In the coming industry of Nebraska the
production of be < > t sugar Slouv county

U3 the tests made last year nt tlio
.state unworsity shoxx'od that the boots grown
In Sioux county xvcro unusually rich In
sugar , some yielding as high us IIII.-J per cent
of sugar , and the farmers are taking n lively
interest in the development of the industry ,
and it will not be long until Sioux county's
claims ns n rich suirar producing county will
bo recognized. There ate about twonty-livn
hundred people In thu county and thorn Is
