It had been arranged for every train to re

Today the tlrst delegations of tlio Shrlnors
fivill arrlvo In Omaha , but Ihoy will bo but a

huvo joined the camp from 15,000 to 20,0'JO
visitors will bo the guests of the city. They
will bo in Eomo respects the most Important
body to which the city has ever thrown open
its doors. Most of thorn uro men of moans ,
nnd inuny of them nro looking for a plnco to
put their money where it will yield a safe ra-
turn. They should be made to feel that
Omaha Is the coining city of tbo west , that
It Is populated by an energetic and progres
sive as well as hospitable people.
First Impressions nro always potent and
no ono thing would bo butter calculated to
win the admiration of the visitors on their
nrnvnt than n liberal display of decorations.
Evoiy business bouso nnd as mimv private
residences as possible should bo decorated
today. It Is nt once a mutter of policy and of
courtesy to the city's guons. A lltllo at
tempt at nocoratlon on the part of each In
dividual rests but little , hut u united effort
would make a marvelous difference in the
nppearniu-o of the city. Omaha bus
n fin uro before her as tbo scene
of great gatherings and nothing
should bo neglected that may add to her al
ready onvinblo ronutnilon In that respect.
Let streets und residences und publlo build
ings wear a welcome of rod and white and

That paper staled last Saturday that Gov

charge which It knows to bo without founda
tion.
tion.Now as to the Omaha speech. It savs that
$500 was raised to defray expanses. Tnat Is
not truo. The committee planned to ralso
that amount , but found that It was not ncc-
O'sary. The total expanses amounted only
to about ? : ! ( ) ! ) , and not quite that amount has
bcon raised.
The outlay for carriage hire , stand , light * ,
music and such expenditure ? took up the
amount raised. Governor McICinloy did
not receive n cent for bis speech
here , and Mr. I. M. Troynor , who
Is ono of thu managers of the Council Bluffs
Chautnuqua , &ays that the same was true re
garding his speech In thoBluffs.

the presentation of tha notice of hU nomina
tion , when ho said that the administration
could now show performances for Its prom
ises of two year * ago. The keynote of tbo
letter will bo the record of iho administra
tion. The president will call nttention
briefly to what It has douo In Its dlffaront
departments. Much of the material for the
lotior the president took with htm to Loon
Loko.
CliilniH of the Alllunro ,
When President Polk of the farmers alli
ance died n short tlma ngo ho was succeeded
by II , L. Loucks , whosa Held of political ac
tivity had previously been the northwest.
Mr. Loucks has now como to Washington to
ussumo executive uhargo of the alliance. Ho
starts off with the announcement made In
tbo olltcial organ toaay giving the program
of bis movements and the prospects of third
party success. Ho will do bis campaigning
in Virginia , Texas and. Tennessee during
September , and will then give some attention
to the northwestern states.
The extent of his "claim" Is shown by the
following statement : "Tno people's party
will carry moro states this Jail than either
Cleveland or Harrison. " The states which
ho savs the third partv will carry are North
and South Dalcota , Minnesota , Nebraska , all
the "silver states" and live or six of the
southern states.

Tlio AHsUtnnt Seerctury of the Treasury
Tells About Public Funds.
WASHINGTOND.rC. . , Aug.,12. Acting Seer
rotary Nettleton has written a letter to cx-
Heprogcntallvo C. H. Broden of Goldsboro ,
N. C. , in response to certain itiquirioa In re
gard to tbo conduct of public affairs under
tbo last and the present administration. To
the question , "Did Cleveland or his secretary
of the treasury lot tbo banks Imvo tbo use of
the deposits of public money belonging to
the government without interest ! " Mr. Not-
tloton says that the ttcusury department has
no authority to loan public moneys with or
without interest , und that ns a matter of
fact no Interest had been received for de
posits with banks. But during the last ad
ministration , inibllo deposits with national
bank depositories wcro Increased from the
surplus revenues from about $30,000,000 to
0:2,000,000 : , wnlcb deposits bore no interest
and were fully secured by United States
bonds. The deposits , however , have since
been withdrawn from time to lirr.o , until at
present the entire amount on deposit with
national bank depositories is only uoout ? ! ( ! , -
000,000 , Including nearly $4,000,000 to the
credit of the United States disbursing ofll-
curs. Ino question ns to whether Mr. Cleve
land ever borrowed gold in Englanu to pay
Interest to foreign bondholders , is answered
in the negative.
rMr. Nottloton adds that the interest on
the public debt is payaulo In this country ,
und tbo government of iho United States has
not for many ycuri found it necessary to
borrow money either at homo or abroad to
pay liitoicston Its indobtodnoss.

to Osbornc house on Monday with n complato

proposed appointments. It has boon Impos-
sjblo to coiicoul the arrangement * made for
Sir Wllllnm Vernon Hurcourt nt tlio exchequer -
chequer mid for John Morley us Irish secre-
tnry , but Mr. Gladstone's Intentions ropnrd-
\ng \ other minister * are not known , oven to
some definitely appointed members of his
ministry. Ho has received scores of aspirants
for ofllcc , and bas discussed tno composition
of his cabinet with his chief advlnors with
out definitely communicating to any ono his
ilnni selections. Being a punctilious observer
ofoniclnl procoaont , ho will not formally
offer n plnco to nuy one until ho has actually
received the queen's commands to form it
ministry.
Surmises are rlfo recording now minis
terial combinations. Among the most
Uriklng reports finding credence In ofllclal
legal quartort Is ono to the effect that Lord
Hurscholl will become governor gnnoml of
India , that Lord Chief Justice Colorldgo will
Become lord chancellor , nnd that Sir Charles
Russell will bccomo lord chlof Justice. Lord
Hcrschcll's transfer from the bench to the
tremendous political roKponstbilltlns of the
vlccroyatty of India would be Inorodlblo , but
for the known foot that ho has long desired
to be n prominent llguro In the political
nrcnn. lie baa tbo highest opinion of his
own qualities as an administrator , und , If
the report be accurate , ho must have con-
vinecd Mr. Gladstone of his worth , but his
appointment will oausoa shu'lder of nppre-
heiislon throughout the country In view of
the critical position of Indian-Russian ro
tations. Until Tuesday , wlioti Mr. Gladstone
returns from Osborno house , the exact com

housn , just concluded , as to whether it was
possible for him to rojnlto with Mr. Glnd-
Btono and sweeten the 'iboral ministry by
taking oftlco himself. The other source of
the queen's disquietude is the change In tbo
royal household appointments , Inevitable on
Mr. Gladstone's accession to power. Whllo
the liberal ranks included tbo old whig
families changes in the royul house mattered ,
little to tbo quoon. Ono 'duohoss succeeded
