WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1894. will not be Kem's successor Jvem. To bond or not to bond, is the grievous question with the present federal administration. Recently the swish of your Un cle Toby's ax in the act of decapi tating republican officials has not been heard. The Omaha Bee is now after a certain clerical individual whom it terms the "Omaha Parkliurst." Go it Nancy, go it bear. As a representative of vigorous young republicanism, how w.ould Henry D. Estabrook do as a succes sor to Hon. Chas. F. Manderson? Ix submitting the whole Hawaii an matter to the senate King Gro ver is only begging some one to free him from the juvenile bovine. Evek progressive Kansas stepped to the front rank again last Satur day night with a triple lynching of murderers near Russell, that state. Iowa's, senator making machine seems to be "running at the top fineed m retnilar Gear though it is possible that a Stone or a Coffin 'may be ground out. With a vigorous congressional campaign this fall there is no rea son why Nebraska may not be rep resented in the next congress by at least four republicans, if not five. John H. Gear, Iowa's "old busi ness" governor, was nominated for United States Senator by the re publican legislative caucus Monday. His election will probably follow. Two trains collided near Hobo ken, N. J., Monday and nine per sons were killed and thirty more or less injured. On the same day a train went through a bridge at Cas andero, Cal., and nine men were drowned. Axd now comes the dishearten ing news to "kunnels" and "maiahs that there is but a faint prospect of many changes being made in iSe braskh's federal officials ere the balmv (lavs of next June. This is too much. Old blood to the crupper, Davis H. Waite, of Colorado, seems to have had his own way in regard to the length, of the legislative session. As a czar he appears to be able to give the corpulent man of destiny cards and spades and easily discount him. Mayor Weir's little boomlet for the pop nomination for governor this fall seems to have succumbed to the frosts which followed for a few nights after the poor thing stuck its head above the ground. This is not an illustration of the good dying young. The treasurer of Hall county, who has been obliged to resign on account of his inability to secure the required bond, is really in hard luck. It seems that some means could have been devised for arrang ing this matter without freezing the treasurer entirely out of the office to which he was elected. J. D. Galhoux, applicant for the Lincoln postoffice and Nestor of the Nebraska democratic press, now devoutly prays that his enemy will write a book, in order that he may play even with those of his foes who have compiled and presented in scrap-book form a generous collec tion of anti-administration clippings from his paper. It is not the mining of more gold and silver and the coining of more silver that are going to make good times, but the restoration of confidence which will scatter the hoarded millions now lying in banks unused. Even the friends of the administration have no confi dence in the political financial tink ers now on top at Washington. So long as Col. Mary Leese con fined her roasting to the old par ties, she held her job. When she, womanlike, gave away the secrets of the populist machiue in Kansas, she was promptly taken by the nape of the neck and the seat of the un mentionables and pitched bodily out of the governor's household. Such is life among the populists. Beatrice Democrat. Ax anonymous philantropist gives twelve hundred dollars to the associated charities of Omaha The unknown giver has repeated this performance aunually for several years always over the uon de plume "Cash K."

Ez. Farm Profits Depend on Protection. Statistician Dodge's review of the surplus products of American agri culture, of the capacity and limita tions of fereigu markets for their reception, and of the capacity and possibility of the home market for consumption of all farm products deserves a careful study during the present crisis. No living man can speak more authoritatively than Mr. Dodge. The home market is the best. The American eats half as much again of meat as the Englishman, twice as much as the Frenchman, thrice as much as most of the men of continental Europe. He con sumes more wheat. It takes sev enteen pounds of raw cotton to make the yearly clothing supply of each man, woman and child in the United States, and about seven pounds for each inhabitant of Eu rope. This throws a bright light on the so-called "markets of the world". In them we must find two and one half customers before we can sell as much cotton aa one customer buys in our home market; two two French customers or three Bel gian or Italian customers before we can sell as much meat as one cus tomer buys in our home market. So much for one phase of the "markets of the world" question. Another of yet more importance to the farmer is to be looked at. The corn exported from the United States in 1S92 was worth 53 cents per bushel at the seaboard, but was worth no more than 28 cents in Ne braska. Freightage, brokerage, el evator service and other incidentals had made the difference between 28 and 53 cents. But if Nebraska and Minnesota had thrice their present population and thev easily can support that and if the greater part of that population had been been housed in cities and employed in making the beet sugar, weaving the wool and cotton, mining the coal and iron, and making the agri cultural implements, furniture, hardware, and the articles that far mers need, not a bushel of Nebras ka corn need have sought the sea board, and the price would have been beyond 28 cents, because the demand would have been above the 28-cent line. If anybody is inter ested in the enlargement of the home market and in making it to consist of men of great purchasing power, it is the American farmer. Already, thanks to protection, our home market consumes nine tenths of our farm products. If pro tection be continued it will be but a short time, probablv less tuan twenty years, till it consumes all of it. If free trade, or such a meas ure as the Wilson bill, prevail, the surplus sent to the inferior "mark ets of the world will increase, and the price of farm products inevita hy fall below the line of profit. Inter Ocean. One Hundred Collars Per Oapita. The paper of Mr. Henrv Yates, the veteran Omaha banker, on the historj' of Nebraska banking in territorial times, read on Wednes day .evening before the state histori cal societ3', was full of interest Incidentally Mr. Yates called at tention to the fact that when the slump of 1857 knocked the bottom out of business and finance in Ne braska, the financial condition of the territoiy was as nearly perfect as the pop statesmanship of today could have devised. Money was "plenty." There was a bank of issue on every townsite and everybody was taking the stuff at par without question. The moneT in circulation aggregated 100 for every man, woman and child in the territory. It was per haps the largest "per capita circula tion" know to history. It was twice as much as the pop brethren of to day consider necessary to do the business of the country." But for all that it made nobody rich except those who were shrewd enough to get rid of it, taking real estate or stock in exchange. Almost in a single night the inevitable happened. One morning the sun rose on the spectacle of 100 per capita in circulation that was good for anything you wanted to buy the day before that wasn't worth quite its weight in white rags. It was a startling demonstration of the fact that '"money" isn't wealth, unless you can sell it bv the pound as well as by the "dollar." Of all the banks of iisue in existence in the territory up to '57 only two eventually re deemed their notes, and those who happened to have all the rest of the "circulation" when the crash came held the sack. Journal. As Begards Irrigation. In locations where irrigation is practiced it may be useless to speak of the benefits to be derived, but in the semi-arid regions of Nebraska, where irrigation is limited there are hundreds and thousands of farms without a single fruit tree, grape vine or garden where they can have many luxuries, and make more money from the sale of vegetables, and fruits from ten to fifteen acres of well watered ground than from the cultivation of a gre.it number of acres of uuirrigated land. It is absolutely necessary to have a large storage tank or reservoir. If pumped directly onto the land the water will reach but a small area. When a reservoir is filled, there is a sufficient volume of water to flow throughout thi distributing ditches and properly irrigate the land. With a storage tank a small mill will water more land than is im agined. Giving the flow of an Aermotor at 10,000 gallons of water per hour this with a continual flow upon the land will not irrigate anything like the amount of land that it will flow over if pumped into a reservoir and allowed to flow quickty over the laud through say an 18 or 20 inch pipe. I he question is now raised, how can 1 build a storage re.ssrvoir? A wooden tank with a .capacity of 30,000 gallons or more is an expenr sive affair and this is as small a tank as should be used. One of much larger capacity is greatlv to be! Mrs. S. A. Morrow Doud's. Iowa. Hrves ilk All Other Blood Diseases, Are Cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla.

The following way to build a reservoir will be a good one and if adopted it will result in a permanent reservoir which will no leak a drop, and the expense of constructing it is exceedingly moderate. On level land a location should be selected which is a trifle higher than the land to be irrigated. If a place about two feet higher than the land to be watered can be found near the Aermotor, scrape up the earth from outside with a horse scraper and build up a circular em bankment. This embankment should be thoroughly substantial and four five or six feet high. The bank should be trodden hard and allowed to settle for a few days. A flume with a suitable gate should be made in one side of the bank. The surface should now be made as smooth as possible by sweeping and stamping. The inside .surface is now to be covered with common coal tar and black pitch. You should purchase about one barrel of tar for every three hundred square feet of surface to be covered; also fifty pounds of black pitch forever' barrel of tar. The tar and pitch are to be boiled down together until thev will harden when cold. You can tell when the proper consistency is reached by cooling a small bit. A common sprinkling can with the nozzle flattened so that it will de- . t A a a liver a thin sneet or tar will serve to npplv it to the surface. A mop should be used to distribute the tar evenly. Sprinkle on dry sand while the tar is yet hot. When .the en tire surface, including the embank ment, is covered, allow it to dry; then sweep off the sand and apply a second, and even a third coat, in a similar manner. The price of tar may be estimated at five dollars per barrel and black pitch one cent per pound. I shall, if desired, assist in securing bottom prices upon tar and pitch, and will be pleased to furnish prices complete upon an irrigating plant. The fol lowing tables mav be of use: Five barrels of tar and 250 pounds of pitch will construct a 2S,0G0gal Ion reservoir. 27 feet in diameter at bottom, 35 feet at top and 4 feet deep; cost of material, $27.50. Nine barrels of tar and 450 pounds of pitch will construct a 58,000 gal lon reservoir, 40 feet in diameter at bottom, 48 feet top and 4 feet deep; cost of material $49.50. Fourteen barrels of tar and 700 pounds of pitch will construct a 08,000 gallon reservoir, 57 feet in diameter at bottom, . 65 feet at top and four feet deep; cost of material 677.00. Thirty barrels of tar and 1,500 pounds of pitch will construct a 272,000 gallon reservoir, 95 feet in diameter at bottom, 103 feet at top and four feet deep; cost of material $165.00. On high land it will be perferable to make reservoir narrower and deeper on account of evaporation. Victor E. Meyer. SUTHERLAND NEWS. January 16th, 189J.

I "CAPTURED BY MOONSHI Two Drnmraer Hiiro aa xp the iKoantain ofKeiUc Two drummers, Alf Hill of and Tom Johnson of Baltimore, to take a few days off and go fishing on the Cumberland river near Harlan.

Tho following is a tj-pical instance : The other day a band of 24 'men, with a pack horse and ammunition, ap proached the village of Zaturoff in the Baku naphtha region.

The other two led the brigands to the house of a be nevolent wealthy man, Hadshi Hus sein. The latter hesitated to say where his money was kept, but a dagger driv en through the muscles of his right arm and left there induced him to lead the robbers to his safe, where they found 10,000 rubles in gold and valuables worth an equal amount. Hadshi Hus sein was afterward decapitated. His housekeeper wore gold earrings, which attracted the attention of the murderers. In a moment her ears were cut from her head. She sprang to the door, but was stabbed. Her cries had alarmed tho villagers, who opened a fusillade upon the robbers. The latter made a desperate sortie, regained their horses and made good their retreat, leaving four dead victims. All efforts have failed to unearth the band. Mos cow Letter. Captain Sw.-eney, U.
