The wonderful results achieved by the Standard Cattle company In Its' sugar beet experiment has opened the ojos of would-bo investor * to the Immense. possibilities of the low lands of tlm 1'latto In that direction , when thoroughly drain oil. And to that end , under the leadership of Manager Allen of the Standard , n n.Vbtom of drainage lias been outlined which. If permitted , will transform tlio thousands of ncrcs In Dodge county from an nlmust 1m- l > cnotrablo swamp to the most valuable and productive soil. Mr. Alton ro- nllzcs thodilllculllcs In the way of the en terprise , but ho has gone at It with a deter mination tovln. . Ho says that every ditch that has been dug thus far has encountered violent opposition. Men across whoso lands ditches Imvo been projected have fought them with desperation , rcga'rdlcss of the benefits that would certainly accrue to their neighborhoods ns well as to themselves. And oven now , although they have seen the change produced , wherein &wamps and morasses tinvo been transformed to produc tive fields and luxurious gardens , they still qiilbblo ns to means anil light every route proposed. All farmers now admit the imperative ne cessity of ditches. At Jlrst they feared that drainage would destroy tholr meadows , but since the Standard's experiment they yield that objection with graco. Mr. Allen has great anticipations for the 1'latto Valley. Ho sees , In the future , regardless of the present tariff tinkering , the whole v.illoy transformed Into ono grand bcot Held more rich nnd productive than Germany or franco over knoxv , and that these famed suRarcoun- tries will llnd In Nebraska their strongest competitor In the sugar markets of the world.

I After a careful , quiet canvass today , the republicans In the house rcanirmod the wisdom of their decision not to Join tlio demo cratic opposition to the Wilson tariff bill In the motion the latter will malto en Thurs day to recommit to the ways nnd means committee. Great pressure was brought to bear upon the republicans today by some of the democrats who nro lighting the bill to Indued them to vote for recommittal , bat the republicans know that If the bill Is recom mitted Income taxes will bo stricken out nnd two or thrco amendments made which will secure ' for It practically n solid demo cratic voto'and Insure the ultimata success of this ruinous measure. If the bill Is not recommitted the chances for defeat are bettered , because the democratic opposition to income- taxes and features of the customs bill Is thus bunched athl the measure on ilnal passage Is greatly weakened. it is known that a majority of the senate finance committee favor retention of Income taxes In the bill , and opposition 13 intensi fied In that body by keeping the measure in Its present form and not giving the demo crats opportunity to strike out Income taxes. The republicans regard the appeal of demo crats In the house to save them from politi cal destruction by Income taxes nnd free tr.ido for their especial local Interests as a great exhibition of unadulterated gall , since the latter have helped to destroy reciprocity , the sugar bounty , protection to fanners and all that Is republican in principle. The re publicans intend to give democrats ropre- " scntlng protective districts a dose of their own party's medicine , and will not assist in the effort to recommit the bill. The meas ure as it is now. with Income taxes nnd all of its oITenslvcncss , must fail in its entirety or become law. That is now certain. I'owor AVlua Ilor Suit.

NEW Yonit , Jan. 20. John G. Carlisle , secretary of the treasury , Is at the Fifth Avenue hotel. Ho has made public the fol lowing statement : ' It has been erroneously published In some newspapers that the committee on ju diciary of the house had agreed to and re ported a resolution denylnir the authority of the secretary of the treasury to Issue and sell bonds ns proposed In his recent circular , nnd these publications have evidently made an unfavorable impression upon the minds of some who contemplated making bids for those securities. "Tha only resolution In relation to this subject that has been before the committee is as follows : "Ucsolved , That His the sense of the house of rcpicscntullvcs that thuhucruinry Ims no authority under the oxIstliiK law to Issue mid soil bonds of tlio United Slates , except such u * Is confuiruil upon him by tlio act approved Jaiiu.uy 14 , IHTu , entitled -An Act to I'rovldo for the Hosiimiulon of Specie Payments.

' It will bo soon that thU resolution as sume3 that authority to issue uus conferred upon the sociotnryof the treasury by the act 01 January II , 1875 , and that such au thority still exists ; but it assorts the pro ceeds of thu bonds cannot be lawfully used except for the purpose of resumption. "Tho ofllclal telegraphic report of the pro ceedings In the committee when the secre tary appeared before It last Thursday shows thai his authority to issue bonds was not questioned by any member. The only question was whothcr ho could mo the proceeds for nnv other purpose than the re demption ot United States notes. ' Mr. Bailey , the author of the resolution , distinctly admiilcd the existence of the authority. Addressing the secretary , Mr. Bailoysaid : 'Tho resolution does not im peach your right to issue bonds , It expressly recogni/.es it , but questions your right to apply the proceeds to any' purpose except these specified in the act. ' "The Judiciary committee of the house examined nnd reported upon this same ques tion during the Fifty-second congress , audit then conceded the authority existing under thu act of 1S7. > . The question as to the authority of the secretary to use the money for any particular purposeIs wholly distinct from the question as to his authority to issue and sell the bonds. No matter what ho may do with Iho money the validity of the bonds will not bo affected and there is , therefore , no reason why anyone - ono should hesitate to Invest In these securities on the ground that the proceeds might possibly be used for other than re dumption purposes. " Mr. Carlisle would say nothing further on tinsubject. . Ho said his only purpose in issuing this statement was to rectify errors of recently published reports regarding the issuance of bonds. He will leave this city this evening. SiOVEItliltiJt'.S ALTMCAT1ON1. Motion Cor mi Antl-Konil Injunction Argued On Todny. WA3HINQTOX , Jan. 29. Arguments were today heard before Judge Cox of the dis trict supreme court on the application o'f Grand Master Workman Sovereign and T. B. McGuire of the Knights of Labor for an injunction to restrain Secretary Carlisle from issuing $50,000,000 bonds , as proposed In his recent bond circular. l.Utcnml to by Fotr. Only a score of persons heard the argu ments. The applicants for the injunction were represented by Senator Allen , populist , of Nebraska. Judge Jevo Wilson , C. C. Cole of Des Moincs and J. W. Mills of Denver , all of whom took part in the argument. The court was asked to compel Secretary Carlisle to show why the xvrlt asked should not bo granted. Judge Wilson , in opening the case , referred to the fact that there was no other judicial tribunal to which the up- * pllcants had resort under the circum stances. Ho declared no other business would sustain as much injury or damacc by the bond issue as that of the miners , who form a largo percentage of the 80,000 mem bers of the Knights of Labor. Though the secretary , in announcing that bonds would bo Issued , cited the net of January 14,1875 , providing for specie payment resumption , as authority for his action , neither this act nor that of July 14,1870 , causing the refunding of the national debt , conferred the authority. To it of tlio Application. Counsel Mills then rend the application. "The issuoof the bonds n proposed , " cited the application , "Involves an indebtedness approximating S75.000.000 , Including princi pal nnd interest. Your orators complain that on January 17,1SUI , the defendant , John Griflln Carlisle , secretary of the treasury , caused to bo issued and publicly offered for public subscription an Issue of bonds to the amount of $50,000,000 , redeemable In coin at the Ueasuro of the government after ten years from date of issue , bearing Interest at 5 per cent per annum , and dated February 1 , lb'J-1.

In that the bonds nro not proposed to bo Issued or sold to redeem thu legal tender United States notes. Further , that by the act of July M , 1870 , there was nn ex press inhibition upon the issue of any bonds or to increase In any way whatever the bonded debt of the United States. It is also averred that the act of January 14,187. > , was amended by that of May 31 , 1878 , so as to withdraw from the secretary of thu treas ury the power to redeem any more of said legal tender United States notes , and that thare were outstanding when that act took effect $340,000,000 pf legal tender notes. "It is further said that there Is no de mand now , nor has there ucen any practical possibility that a demand will or can bo made for tiny further redemption of the legal tender notes. The proposed action under the published offer for subscription is not only without authority ot luw nnd con trary thereto , but uithout necessity Di stinction In the condition of the United States , for thcro Is in the treasury $75,000- , 000 of United Stntoi gold coin which may rightfully and properly bo applied nifd used for the purposes for which the bonds uro offered for subscription.

Jordon sent out today invitations to thirty bank presidents nnd ofllcors of other prominent financial Institutions , asking them to moot the secretary of the treasury at the subtroasurv n' a conference , which lasted an hour and a half. At Its conclusion sev eral ot the bankers who were present said the secretary had spoken at length on the action of the Judiciary committee , saying ho thought their resolution showed the legality of the bond issue. Ho also said ho bolluvod the resolution would fall to p'.iss. Referring to the action of the Knights of Labor , ho said ho was of the opinion that the decision of the courts would undoubtedly nturm his right to issue the bonds. Mniln Mirny In'l"lnc3. Iho bankers present asked numerous ques tions concerning the points at Issue , They assured the secretary that If the legality of the bonds was shown ho could rely on It that nit the bonds would bo tnUon In New Voric unconditionally and above the upset price. The gcnor.il report of those present nt the conference was that the proposed Issue was much strengthened by the discussion. One of the members of the clearing house com mittee said he was convinced that in the minds of thoio who had hoard Mr , Carlisle's statement ot the case there was no doubt of thu safety of the bonds as un Investment. Their legality , ho said , was assured. How far the Issue had been subscribed for could not be learned. The conference was said to have boon thn result of withdrawals of subscriptions which had been made. At the end of the conference Mr. Carlisle refused to inako any statement , llo re turned to Washington this afternoon.
