MNCOLN. Oct. r.l. ( Special. ) Those who
have been keeping watch of political affalts
In this state are now able to see two things
that prove conclusively the existence of a
fcchemo to merge the popocratic parties all
under tbe name "democratic" next year.

who also draws a tmhirv from the slate. Is
found to have been Mlbslll/cd by the nat'oial
democratic committee to bo used by It In the
llnal tucking away tit the popullut party.
Along with this move may be mentioned tilt ;
circumstance that several of thoEO who have
heretofore pretended to be ardent populists ,
but whose antecedents In e\cry capo nrts
found to have been democratic , are now
engaged In the circulation of the cam
paign handbook issued by the national
democratic ; committee , and which makes no
pretence of being a populist document. One
ol Auditor Cornell's deputies , who last } cai >
was the populist commlttccraan for the
First congressional district , Is one of the
he'ud movers In the scheme to circulate this
democratic literature. They calculate thai
with the dissemination of the proper kind ol
reading matter for the next six or elghl
montliH the populists will be In the proper
frame of mind to allow themselves to be
branded "democrat * " nnd the date for the
final round-up Is set for ne.xt year. It If
expected that the silver-republicans will b (
fimong the flrrt to come Into the fold am
that they will show a positive pleasure It

to think the odds are greatly In favor o
Mr. Neater. Of course these republican can <
dldates will receive good majorities In thli
county , but as Nemaha county Is of thi
fusion order these majorities will no doub
be cut down In the district vote. In thi
Fourth district , which U included In thl :
county only , the republican candidate fo

score a victory over his fusion opponent , J

county In this position before and gave gen

both sides together with strong following
are now putting In their best licks at cam

LINCOLN. Oct. 31. ( Special Telegram. )
JanifH Munaluui , popocratic candidate for
congress , was advertised to speak In five
different places In this city tonight. The
bills described him as being the man Bur-
kctt was afraid to meet. It would have
been almost as appropriate to say ho waa
the man the voters were afraid to meet , as
50 far the Manaban campaign has been a
frost. The Idea was to obviate this diffi
culty of small audiences tonight by going
around over the city to hunt the people.
It worked very weir , as there were a few
people at each meeting place.
The place where the largest number ol
hearers was gathered was at the state
house , where there were fifty-four people ,
Including several women and a number ol
republicans led there by curiosity. The
"reform officials" are the first to use the
state capltol building for political meetings
and the result Is not encouraging. The
effect of the flzzled-out rairies tonight will
bo to make votes for the republican ticket ,
The people In general criticize the reform'
ers for trying to hold political pow-wowt
at the court house and state capitol build
ing the size of the crowds causes every
body to laugh.

WASHIXUTON , Oct. 31. The majority of
the annual reports of the Indian agents to
the commissioner of Indian affairs are of an
encouraging nature and Indicate a progrcfs
generally along civilized lines. Some of thi >
reports , however , are not BO gratifying and
make some surprising statements. Unusual
In an annual report Is the following ar
raignment in the report of K. M. Yearlan ,
In charge of the Lcmhl agency In Idaho ;
These Indians , as a tribe , are honest ,
pcaccublo and kindly disposed , but are about
as degraded and ungrateful a set as one
finds. They have been humored nnd , like
spoiled children , want things their way and
their condition , mode of living and barbaric
practices would Indicate that undue con
cessions have been made on the part ol
agents. While some will avail themselves
ot the opportunity of earning their living bv
civilized pursuits , others lead a lazy , vag
abond life. They are addicted to gambling ,
horse racing , and the Influence of the so-
called "medicine man" operate to the ills-
advantage of the tribe. Their real advance
ment has not been what it should , or what
U was possible to have been under the cir
cumstances. In the agent's annual reporl
for 1SS2 on the Lemhl reservation I find
that twenty-nine Indian families
were en
gaged in forming. Fifteen years afterward
I can report but forty-one following agri
cultural pursuits , an Increase of twelve nol
quite one convert a year. What wonderful
progression ! Morally , those Indians an
practically the same as they were twentj
years ago ; financially , they are but lltth
better off. Aside from some small farms
wagans and farming implements hold t > j
some of the more energetic and industrious
they have comparatively nothing except i
great number of worthless" ponies , which
If they did not own , they would not be nnj
worse off. No horned stock Is owned bj
them at nil. It would be unjust not to stati
that a few have farms and keep constant ! '
at work trying to establish for thcmsclvei
comfortable homes. A majority , however
seem to content themselves with their pres
em condition and continue on In the ol <
hanncl , leading a life of Idleness nd dee-
adntlon.
Agent Wisdom of the Union agency , Indlar
Territory , In charge of the five clvlllzec
rlbcs , makes a strong pfea for the non-clt-
r.en Insane persons residing In the agency
and says the "Keo Too-Wahs , " the ful
blooded society which led the opposition U
the Cherokets treating with the Dawes commission -
mission , are reconsidering their action am
.hat an agreement with the Cherokces at ar
; arly date may be possible. The agrecmen
between the Creek and the Dawes commls
dons , ho adds , doubtless will bo ratified b ;
.ho Creek nation.
Agent Fuller of the Blackfeet agency
Montana , referring to the opinion of tin
ceded portion under the mineral land lawi
last April , says prospecting has been prac >
tlcaUy fruitless and predicts the abandon
mcnt of the so-called mineral etrlp befon
the 1st of November.
Henil Men Abxorli Hie Money.
J. R. Jewell , In charge of the Xow Yor
agency , in his report alleges that after care
ful Investigation he finds the funds of th
Seneca nation are almost wholly absorbc
by the officers of tho'nation , nnd that the
are In collusion with -white men for sue
purpose. Agent Jewell says , among othe
things , In picturing 'by' demoralizing condl
tlons there : r ,
The Senecas on the'Allcg'hany and Cat
taraugus rescrvc < tlons are a corporate bed
under the name of the Seneca Nation of In
dians and have a common Interest In th
landB of both reservations. From nmon
the few of the corrupt dynasty of officers
president Is elected upon the Cattaraugu
reservation one year and n treasurer o
the Allegheny reservation , nnd the next yea
a president from the Allcgbany rcJcrvatlo
and usually the preceding treasurer I
elected president , and the former presldec
elected treasurer. This method has bee
pursued for many years , and , although tri
Indians have endeavored to defeat tli
dynasty that has ruled among them for a
long , they are unable to do so. The ofll
cers notorlouslv UEC the funds of the natlo
to purchase the votes of Ignorant and lllll
crate Indians , who , on election day , are al
ways anxious for n small per cent. Th
better class of Indians are not now numet
OUR enough to overcome the power of thcs
corrupt Indians , who have the funda of tb
nation with which to corrupt the maspes nn
perpetuate their corrupt dynasty.
I have been called upon to attend the ele (
tlon.8 upon oeveral occasions , and , while tl
Indians are fully aware that the governlr
officers are misappropriating their mono ;
they are powerless to help themselves ,
am satisfied that the present dynasty
more corrupt than any other government I
the Indians themselves. In fact , tl
present dynasty Is composed of the me
progressive of the Indians , but their pn
gress BeeniB to be directed toward absorl
Ing for themtielves and misappropriating .n
the funds of the. nation. Each year bcfoi
election this dynasty votes large sums
money to an executive rommlttce to can
the election for themselves At the la
Election. In Mnv. 1R'R.hlch ! I wr > nrder <

which had been voted a large sum of tnone

\VnNlilnKtnn Conllrm * lleiiort * Ile-
unrdliwr Demand * for Philippine * .
WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. The advices from
I'arls to the effect that the United States
commissioners have demauded the cession to
the United States of the entire 1'hlllpplne
group Is In line with the Instructions that
have been Issued to the representatives of
the United States , t'p to a very recent date
the United States comlssloncrs have had no
precise Instructions on this vital point. Of
course , before they iluparted from Washing-
on much consideration had been given to
his Important subject by the president ,
Secretary Day and Assistant Secretary
Moore and members of the commission , but
here was a lack of datn as to the financial
and political affair * of the Philippines and
so It happened that when the United States
commissioners sailed they were not com
mitted beyond change to any line of policy.
A majority of their number leaned towards
a restriction of the demands to bo put forth
as to the Philippines , varying all the way
rora the retention of Manila bay and the
mmedtate surrounding country to the ac
quisition of the whole Island of Luzon. That
represented about the extreme demand that
was In mind when the commission left. But
since that time the president has become
convinced that there is a great popular de
mand for the annexation to the United
States of the whole Philippine group and he
s disposed to defer to that sentiment. Be
sides thesre Is ground to believe that , In an
unofficial manner , possibly through Informal
communication with Agulnaldo , .Aguinaldo's
agent In Paris , or perhaps through some
direct dealing between that chieftain and
Admiral Dewey , the United States commis
sioners have satisfied themselves that the
difficulty lies in the way of annexation , so
far as they might be expected to depend
upon the will of the natives , have been very
much exaggerated. If 'this be so , then there
has been removed as a factor In the calcu
lations OHO of the most disturbing elements ,
for It could scarcely b ? contemplated with
equanimity that our government , after hav
ing expelled the Spaniards should willingly
bo placed in the position of attempting to
govern an unwilling people.
It cannot be learned definitely what money
consideration Is to pass with the title to
the Philippines. Indeed there Is reason to
believe that even the United States peace
commissioners have not yet been able to
fix the amount exactly. Assuming that they
arc to repudiate all portions of the debt ol
the Islands which does not represent money
spent for actual betterments , It will be
seen at once that the task presented to tlw
commissioners of differentiating this debt
Is not an easy one , particularly In view ol
th ? notoriously loose financial methods ol
the Spanish colonial authorities. That this
debt should be assumed by the United States
Is some proportion Is said at the State de
partment to be Inevitable If annexation If
to follow. The conditions presented are en
tirely unlike those in Cuba. In the latte !
case there was Justification In International
law , and precedent , for our refusal to be
saddled with the debt when we had receiver
no 'tangible ' asset. But In the case of thf
Philippines , rich and well populated , th <
United States would acquire what In tin
eyes of the world Is a moss valuable posses
sion , and it Is believed that the holders o !
all government obligations without rcgnn' '
to nationality , would Insist that the lie ;
should pass with the property. Quite unor
ficlally , but In a manner to carry convic.
tlon as to accuracy of the Information , th <
Spanish commissioners some days ago wen
allowed to know what the United States
purposes as to the Philippines when ouci
the conclusion was arrived nt. So they an
not taken completely by surprise by th' '
demand presented today at Paris ) .

RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE
Superintendent of Popiirtnirnt I'rue"

FinnlUe * of Clerk * Killed.
WASHINGTON' . Oft. 31. The annual re
port of "tho general superintendent of the
railway null service shows that nt the close
of the year there were S.074 clerks employed
and that with the closed pouch nnd vxpress
pouch service , the grand total of mlleg trav
eled In the service was 28.1 , 6.1.313.
Matter so Illegibly addressed us to re
quire special attention before delivery could
bo effected , or which could not be delivered
at all amounted to 13.COO.OOO pieces for the
ye.ir , 7,655,000 pieces of which were returned
to writers or corrected and forwarded , the
rest being turned Into the dead letter olTlce
for disposition.
The general superintendent deplores the
fact that the number of casualties last year
exceeded the record of any previous year ,
though 'the number of fatalities was not so
great. There wore 097 casualties , In which
seven clerks were killed , thirty-four seri
ously Injured and 146 slightly. It Is urged
that some provision bo made by congress
for the relief of the families of the clerks
killed while on duty and for the creation of
n .railway . mail service relief fund for the
benefit of mall clerks totally disabled or In
jured In iho line of duty.
The wisdom of appointing a number of
assistant superintendents < o Inspect star ,
steamboat and mall messenger routes nnd
screen wagon service , supervise the weigh
ing of malls , etc. , It Is said , has been made
evident by the re-suit of their work during
the year. An Innovation Is proposed In the
way of establishing postal stations in rail
way depots and this nnd other recommenda
tions have been approved by the second as
sistant postmaster general.
It is estimated that $8,928,118 will bo re
quired for salaries of railway postal clerks
for the year ending Juno 30 , 19GO , and $4,201.-
500 for railway poatofllcc cars , exclusive of
subsidized lines.
