\ Frank P. Ireland of Nobrasua City Is here
uobnobblng with democrats. Ilo professes
to bellovo the domocralnwlll carry Nebraska
this yoar. Ho says : ' ! don't Know exactly
what the democratic program will bo out
there , but my opinion Is It will bo the boil
eort of politics to Join hands with the alliance
and bclp thorn carry the presidential electors.
Vfo nro not wedded to any particular candi
date for the presidency , though there Is a
trent ; fooling , that Is growing constantly ,
that It would bo In the highest degree uusafu
to uomlnato Mr. Cleveland. L am no cuumy
ot the ox-prosldont , but on the
contrary ontortaln the highest roa
Kard for him. Ho Is popular
in Nebraska , but It la too upoaront that ho
would ba unable to carry Now York state ,
our slno qim non of success. Just here I
want to correct a fallacy that Is being re
peated n good deal of lato. Some of Mr.
Cleveland' : ! frlonds are saying he will got
the nomination without Now York ; In fact
will bo chosen before Now Yorlt Is called at
thoconvuntion. These people forgot that by
democratic usage It takes a. two-thirds vote
to nominate and that this could not bo had
prior to the call of the Kmplro state , but It
ought always to bo remembered that the de
mocracy l. not glvon to oiio-uian worship
and has plenty of presidential timber.

Tbo nomination of Colonel Frank Wheaten
to ba brigadier general In the place of Gen
eral /uiITusi Kautz , retired , sent to the scn-
nto today , gives universal satisfaction In
"Washington. Colonel Andrews , who rnnltod
high on tbo list of colonels of Infantry , was
ordered homo to await retirement several
days ago , thus leaving Colonel Whuaton the
ranking active colonel of infantry In the
nrmy. Ills promotion Is therefore In the line
of the poilcv which President Harrison has
attempted to follow during the past thrco
years , namely , to make army promotions by
seniority In ( ivory case whurocontrolling ron-
ions have not existed for going further down
the line. Colonel \Vhoaton presented a
record of , ervlco unexcelled by that of
nny of the contestants for the placo.
.Ho had entered the nrmy from civil lifo before
fore the war as a graduate of Urown univers
ity In Ktiodc Island ; had served in the topographical
graphical engineer corps In establishing the
boundary line botweou Mexico and the
United States , nnd was n captain of the
Fourth cavalry a month before the war broke
out.
Colonel Wheaten at once raised n regiment
of infantry In Hhodo Island and joined the
Army of the Potomac , where his record of
gallant nnd nfllclont service is written In
iicccsilvo promotions and honorablebrevets. .
Within n year bo was a brigadier general of
volunteers and participated in every engage
ment , both of the Army of the Potomao and
In operations in tbo Sbcnandoah vnlloy. He
was repeatedly mentioned Iu orders and loft
tbo volunteorsorvlco ns a brevet major general
to accept nt the close of the war a lieutenant
colonelcy of Thirty-ninth infantry. From
1SUO until his present well directed pro
motion General Whonton has been engaged
In active nurvtco on iho frontier , partici
pating In most of tbo important Indian cam
paign ! ! , engaged in poltcoing the frontier and
In rendering safe tbo rapid march of civ
ilization In that vast region which lies between -
twoon the Missouri nnd the Pacific coast.
General Wheatou's claims were , as stated
in a lici ; special last night , earnestly pressed
by the Nebraska delegation , Senator Mim-
dorson particularly interesting himself in his
behalf and securing for him the endorse'
inent of moro than a third of the sennto. The
Ilbodo Inland delegation also pressed his
candidacy. It Is b liovod that the vacancy
made bj General Stanley's forthcoming ro-
tlrcmont will bo llllod by the promotion of
General Eugene A. Carr ot the Sixth cav-
ry , uow stationed at Fort Niobrara.

Secretary Husk Is In favor of the proposi
tion to Import from Turkey a lot of thorough
bred Anponi goats for the purpose ol intro
ducing thorn into this country , ns they can
bo raised by our farmers with great prollt ,
but ho cots back upon the "economical"
policy of iho present bouso of representa
tives by declaring that there Is no cxcuso
for following the policy proposed by a well
Known democratic member and import tbo
coats at government expanse , and then brood
thorn upon government lands and distribute
them out nt government bauds , gratis. Ho
thinks that this would bo paternalism with a
vengeance.

In referring to the bill providing for the im
portation ot the fcstivo billy und nannio goat
of the Angora breed and their propagation at
Government expense , Socrotar RUSK says :
"I understand that the Ottoman emplra
does , as alleged , prohibit the exportation of
Angora goats from its dominions , and ap
preciating full ; the importance ot the indus
try in this country , I should bo heartily In
favor of our government's doing what might
bo in its power to obtain from the Turkish
government the privilege for American
bffodors of importing Angora gnats during a
certain tlmo ana within a certain manner ,
but I cannot BOO any good reason for the es
tablishment , under tha ausp-.cos of the na
tional government , of an Angora goat-breed
ing farm , tn bo maintained out of tlio na
tional treasury. I cannot aeo why the
brooders of this particular animal should bo
entitled to aid of this kind , which has not
boon afforded to the breeders of any other
pure blood stock. "

JOE MILLER'S BUZZ SAW.

Against It tii Ills Sorrow.
W. J. Byrnes a uartnorof Ed Keen in the
publication of a dlsroputablo shoot ,
ran up against a buzz saw In motion in the
county jail' Monday afternoon , with the
usual results. Byrnos and his wtfo have
30on at the couuty jail frequently during the
last few weeks visiting E. A. ICoon , who Is
n jull awaiting sentence for criminal libel ,
of which charge ho was convicted In the dis
trict court.
Jailor Millar nnd his doputlos have extended -
tended every courtesy to the visitors , but
this did not protect htm , as in iho last Issito
of the publication an attack was made upon
Jailer Miller. Monday Byrnos and his
wife visited the jail again cud while there
Mr. Miller spoke to them about the artlclo
n the paper. Byrnes and his wife at once
jocamo wrathy and began abusing Iho jailor ,
who sloood It patiently until ono of the pair
juried uu epithet at him that ho don't stand
From any man or womaa and then the fuu
Occamo fast nnd furious. At Mr. Miller's
llrst symutom of roiontmont of
Lho insult offered him ho was
bodily assaulted by the pair. Mrs. Byrnos
sprang in front of her diminutive bettor half
and reached for Miller's eyes. Joe is not
slow himself iu u freo-for-nll , nnd in a jiffy
ho bad pushed the woman to ono side , and
given bar husband n couple of good Kicks In
u position where they would do the most
good. Then ttwy closed again , and when the
curtain was rung down on tbo last act of the
tragedy , Mr. Miller was eating his lunch in
Iho jail oOlce , two dilapidated ox-visitors
were hobbling down a back street , and ono
of the jailor's assistants wiping up the gore
witn an old quilt.
Byrnes has n faculty for getting into
scrapes of this kind. Ho was discharged
from TIIF. Br.i ; sumo monlhs ago for a similar
assault made by him and bis wife upon a vis
itor in the rcoptlon room of Tun BCE ofllco.

NEW VOHK , April 19. A political move
ment has taken place within tbo last twonty-
our hours which will greatly chnntro the
resent political situation. H Is stated that
Secretary Blalno will accept the republican
nomination for the presidency If the party
, vlll uomlnato him nt the national convention
, t Minneapolis in Juno with any dogrou of
unanimity , and It couios from the highest
authority.
U is affirmed that slnco ho wrote his letter
o Chairman Clarkson declining to allow his
HI tno to bo presented before the convention
, nd withdrawing from the race his mail has
brought him Innumerable loiters from promi
nent republicans all over the country urging
him to roconslder his decision nud to become
candidate , and the pressure became so
great and forcible that ho was unnblo to
stand out any longer against the wiSiies of
his fnonds. his supporters and his party. Ha
has decided to place his candidacy in tbo
hands of his friend9 and leave it with them.
It is further stated that Blnlna will not
publicly make known his decision , but that
his friends will secretly work for his nom
ination , and will place his name before the
convention with sufficient jtreutnh to insure
his nomination. The authority is JBlainu's
closest frtond in Now York City and the
recognized loader of the party in the state ,
and comlug from such a source It will stand
undisputed. This friend in speaking of
lUatnu's candidacy said that the secretary
had ut last decided to reconsider his doclsiou
and to accept the nomination providing it is
unanimously tendered him.
"This decision , " ho continued , "was made
very reluctantly by Mr. Blaiuo , hut It was
simply out of the question for him to do
otherwise. There may bo many reasons
Riven for this chnngo , but I believe that the
real reason is that ho scos that the majority
of tbo republicans of the country want him
nominated , and since ho has placed his can
didacy in the hands of his friends I do not
think anything can prevent his nomination
in Juno , nor his election in November. This
announcement of his candidacy will bo
liuilud with delight by every republican In
the land.
"ilo is the Idol of the republican party ,
end , being such , should DO nominated wither
or iigainst his consent , and if ho had not
changed his decision I , for ouo , was in favor
of nominating him against his wishes , nnd
many others were in the same position. This
announcement-puts Blaiuo in the race again ,
and In the race ho will sta.v until the close.
There will bo no backward movement now ,
and even if Blaine so desired , as his fnonds
would prevent it. Ho has given thorn his
word arid they will do the rest.
"Another reason is that this change was
duo to the influence and exertions ot Mrs.
Blaine , who has all along advised him to run
and who has great influence with the secre
tary. It Is believed tnat she was greatly put
out whan Blaine wrote his letter to Editor
Pard of the Tribune , withdrawing his unmo
from the national convention at Chicago in
1SS8 , when his nomination was inevitable ,
and that she was also terribly disappointed ,
when ho wrote this letter to Chairman
Clarkson.
"S'.ill another reason is that the loiters ho
received from the prominent republicans
were of such a character that no man could
foil to give them u'.most attention. Thov
were imperative. The letters from Now York
were , of course , the most important , and
were given tbo greatest consideration and
weight. The views of nearly all the writers
ran in the same channel.
iThe Indiana letters also occupied a promi
nent place in his reconsideration. They ran
nearly in the same strain as the Now York
letters , mid coming from the homo of the
president Increased their Importance. It
can bo safely relied upon that if Blaine's
health is as good in Juno as it is now , ho will
bo the republican nomlneoand will bo a bard
candidate to defeat. "
Anything to llcat Harrison.
LIXCOLV , Nob. , April 19. [ Special to Tnc
BEfc.J It was reported here today that a
secret meeting of republicans from thirty-
two counties in the state is soon to bo held
in Omaha or Lincoln in the interest of the
Algor boom for president. It will bo remembered -
bored that when General Alger passed
through Omaha recently ho stopped off be
tween trains and was the guest ot Hon. John
M. Thurston in Omaha. This has given
rise to the query , I Thurston quietly
looking after the interests of Algor
in the county conventions through-
oat the statal Vandervoort Is also
a strong Alger man and is known to be doing-
what ho can to assist the boomlot. It Is also
being passed around hero that Binlno Is not
altogether out of the question. The plan , is
said to bo that wherever possible the dolo-
cntions shall bo opposed to Instructing for
Harrison , so that in cuso n stampede can bo
worked up lightning may strike Algor ,
Blaine or some dark horso. It u believed
here that the fondling of the anti-Harrison
men will ale very , very young.

The sermon of tbo evening was preached
by Hav. T. VV. Loard of Schuylor. Ho se
lected his text from Matthew 0-U : "Thy
kingdom corao. " The speaker then pro
ceeded to show that It wan the duty of
Christian people to pray and work for'tuo
kingdom of God Just tbu snmo now as it was
centuries ago whoa the command was first
given by the Savior. The nature of the
kingdom desired wan then soouon of. Ho
hold that no ono should th'lnk about the
coining of n temporal kingdom , but a spirit
ual ono. The kfngaora of God came by
grace. It was a kingdom of grace nud glorv.
There could bo no glory without grace. The
work of grace was the first stop. The faith

rune should be willing to suffer soma Incon.
venionca for the peed of the cause Iiu had es.

The Genuine and the Sham.
Every good tiling has its host of imitations ; every genuine
article its counterfeits. The imitators always choose the most
valuable and popular article to counterfeit , so that when they
claim their sham to be equal , or as good , or the same as
"So-and-So's , " the public may defend upon it that "So-and-So's"
article is the best of the kind. The sham proves the genuine
merit of the thing it copies , and never has this been better
illustrated than by the imitations of ALLCOCK'S POROUS
PLASTERS.
ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTERS arc the standard of excellence
the world over , and imitators in their cry that theirs is "as
good as ALLCOCK'S , " arc only emphasizing this fact and
admitting " ALLCOCK'S " to be the acme of perfection , which it
is their highest ambition to imitate. The difference between
the genuine and these imitations , which copy only general
appearance , is as wide as that between gold and copper.
The only safe way for purchasers is to always insist upon having
OZS. FOR
ABSOLUTELY PURE , JUST TRY IT.
