is that of the best afforded by the older states, and
her people are active, progressive and prosperous
To the industrious, energetic home-seeker from
the crowded east North Platte and Lincoln county
presents unusual advantages. Thousands of acre
of vacant government land, in close proximity to
thoe alreudy being brought under irrigation, mii;
be obtained by consulting the United States land
office in North Platte. A letter of inquiry to "U
S. Register, North Platte, Neb.," relative to th.
above will be courteously answered. Irrigate!

a taste of his own Hawaiian medi

The colonel from Kentucky (Breck
inridge) and the colonel from Mis
souri (Heard) had a genuine down
right scrap in the lower house ot
congress last Friday. Mutual
friends interfered and no blood was
shed, although the affair was what
is termed a congressional fight. If
the honorable gentlemen were sent
to the national legislature by their
respective constituencies to give a
sample of pugillism as practiced in
their districts, they are not good
representatives of the manty art,
and cheaper combatants would put
up a more satisfactory fight.
A Boston man familar to Ne
Bnglanders under the name of Col.
Gas Addicks, has been down in
Delaware for two or three months
running for the United States sen
ate, and has succeeded in getting
six republicans to stand, out for
h m. and cause a deadlock. The
in: dnt has been made the pretext
of many heartless gibes by the sec
tion of country whence Col. Gas Ad
dicks emanates, at the expense ot
poor little Delaware where the people
are unsophisticated and liable to be
flim-flammed by a blue bellied Yan
kee with a gold lining to his pock
ets. If Massachusetts had a tithe
of her old chivalry, she would send
a requisition down for Colonel Ad
neks and have the state commis
sioner bring him home and bottle
him up until the legislature at
Dover had selected a Delaware man

Brer' Orr admits in his article
that there was a meeting- of the big
triumvirate held last week behind
closed doors, but like the prudent
populist partisan that he is, fails to
give the-entire proceedings. One
grievous error he made,- however,
was the admission that the win
dows were curtained. Was the as
semblage for an honest, straight
forward purpose there would have
been no need to screen the proceed
ings from the public Talk about
your old party politicians putting
up a job on the rank and hie of
their organizations, let one of these
razor-back populists be brought in
and lodged by a hard coal fire at
public expense, and as old veteran
Stebbins said last fall of one of
them, put a coat on his back, and
fill his belly full of grub and
budge," and he is as full of tricks
and deceit as a jackass is of wind.
The whole matter illustrates the!
old;adage of putting a mendicant '

The making ot a deputy oil in
spector out of Ed. J. Hall is pleas
ing to his republican friends, but
a bitter disappointment to many
fathers and sons of populism vh
believe that the ones who have
borne the heat and burdens of the
day are entitled to greater consider
ation than the one who comes into
the thistle pasture at the eleventh
hour. Four years ago Ed Hali was
elected to the legislature as a demo
crat. Two years later he was placed
on the pay roll in the same ca .city.
Some ino.iihs later an uuternliea
administration at Washington t.oin
whom he craved "recognition,"

Senator Sherman the other d;i .
lisposed of the demagogical iuven
.ion of Mr. Cleveland and Professoi
vVilson, says the N. Y. Advertiser,
that it was not our revenue syst m
but our currency system which w is
draining the treasury of its i
sources. In a few clear-cut en
tences the great financier concl -sively
showed that the impend. ng
collapse of the treasury was directly
traceable to the kindergarden tariff
legislation of last summer. Th.
key to the present trouble is, as Mr.
Sherman pointed out, that the ex
penditures of the government ex
ceeded its receipts. All the proceeds
of former bond sales, amounting to
over S116.000.00J, have been paid
out ill treasury notes for current ex
penses, and these notes have come
back for redemption in gold. If re
ceipts had equal expenditures these
notes would have remained in the
treasury and it would be impossible
to use them to sap away the gold
reserve. "You can stop the drain
on the gold reserve," exclaimed
Senator Sherman, "by passing a
law to increase the revenue." With
the unerring skill of an expert phy
sician, the Ohio senator puts his
finger on the sore spot of the
national finances. In the face of
this exposition, Mr. Cleveland and
Mr. Wilson's assertion that we are
approaching a surplus will count as
idle wind. These men are person
ally interested in hidingjthe actual

congress will probably not alter the '
iusane revenue legislation of last

longer in doubt as to the exact re
sponsibility for and the real secret
of the threatened bankruptcy of the
-treasurv.

Secretary Carlisle Dissipates Gloomy
Forebodings of a Deficit,
PIS LETTER TO THE SEITATE.
Officially Estimates the Govcrnm nt This
Year Will Have a Surplus or Over 822.
000,000 Iiitend of a Deficit An
other i.oiv In the House.
Washington, Feb. 4. Secretary Car.
lisle submitted a letter of information to
the senate today which dissipates the
gloomy forebodings as to a lack of re
venue to carry ou the government,
is iu response to a re jo'.atioa o inquiry
adopted this week. The letter is as fol
lows: In reply to senate resolution of January
28, 1893, that the secretary of the treasury
be directed to inform the scuntc what is
the estimated deficiency in tho revenue of
the governmsnc to pivy current expenses
between the 31st day of December, 1894,
and the 31st day of December, 1895, and if
the $153,:537,57 1.90 cash balance in the
treasury on the 31st day of Deccmlwr,
189 1, will be sufficient to moot such defic
iency, I have the honor to stats that from
estimates made upon the basis of laws
now in force it is believed for the 13
months ending December 31. 1835, the re
venue of the government from all sources
will exceed ordinarv expenditures by $22,
503,03. Respectfully,
J. G. Carlisle, Secretary.
The read'ug of the letter was closely
followed by the senate. Mr. McPher
son iDem., N. J.) went to the clerk's
desk to personally inspect it. Then Mr.
Aldrich (Rep., R. I.) sent for it and a
group of Republican senators gathered
about h m -ind read it over his shoulder.
Mr. Gorman smiled significantly at the
secretary's direct and positive estimato
of the ampleness of revenues.
Mr. Vilas Dem., Wis.), from tho ju
diciary committee, favorably reported
the bill -etiring Justice Howell Jackson
from the United States supreme court
bench and asked immediate considera
tion of the measure.
Mr. Aldrich, still holding Secretary
Carlisle's loiter, suggested thaf? some
other tlrngs would prevent the full con
sideration ot' this measure and it accord
ingly went ovi.

Itepri-srnt.-itives Hall anil Hatch of Mis
souri Have a Wordy War.
Washington, Feb. 4. During a hot
colloquy over the adoption of an ordor
to consider the currency bill, Mr. Hall
Dem., Mo. denounced a statement of
Mr. Hatch (Dem., Mo.) as absolutely
false. Mr. Hatch defiantly declared that
Mr. Hall would not use such language
to him off the floor. Great confusion
followed and the speaker was obliged to
call the sergeaut-at-arms to enforce order.
The omn'fons war claims bill was con
sidered. Some routino business pre
ceded the presentation of the special
ordor. Tiie conference reports on the
fortifications and army appropriation
bill were adop' e l.
Bills wer passed to authorize the Kan
sas and In or th western Railroad com
pany to construct a railroad across the
Indian Territory, and to authorize the
governor of Alaska to create precincts
and precinct jnstic s of the psace.
Mit-.t Get Leave of Absence.
Washington, Feb. 4. Secretary
Smith has made an adverse report on
'house bill 7,791, for the benefit of set
tlei.s on public lauds in semiarid sec
tions. The object, of the bill is to allow
certain settlers in the Dakotas, Nebras
ka, Kansas and Oklahoma to make final
proofs on their homestead and timber
claims at the end of two years of con
tinuous settlement and improvements,
instead of the five years now in vogue.
A large number of these settlers have
been obliged to leave their homes tem
porarily to support their families be
cause of long, continued drouth, and
Secretary Smith advises against legisla
tion in view of the act authorizing local
officers to grant leave of absence to set
tlers on public lands who, through total
or partial destruction or failure of crops
or other unfavorable casualty, are unable
to maintain support for themselves and
family on the land settled on.
Recalcitrant Susar Witness.
Washington, Feb. 4. The supreme
court denied the application of Elverton
R. Chapman, the recalcitrant witness in
the senate sugar trust investigation
of last summer for a writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that it was not
competent for the supreme court to in
terfere in the matter until after tho case
should have been finally disposed of by
the district courts.

C lines Grave Concern.
Washington, Feb. 4. The report
from Shanghai that a hunting party
from the United States ship Concord
has been overpowered and carriod off by
the natives n-nir Chin Kiaug because
they had acc.vientaily shot a Chinaman,
althon ;h not yefc officially confirmed,
has g ven rise "o grave concern at the
nnvy and s:ats departments. Chin
Kiaug lies on the Yaug-tse-Kiaug river,
146 milf-s above Shanghai, and just
below the mouth of the Grand canal.
The country is famous for its game, and
whenever a naval vessel is in the harbor
the officers avail themselves of the op
portunity to hnnt. It is felt at the stato
department, however, that the officers

Revision of4roBirorIers' Waj;ra.
Y0UNO8TOWN, O., "Feb. 4. The Ma

ufacturer's association, composed of the
leading iron concerns in eastern Ohio
and western Pennsylvania, have served
notice upon the Amalgamated associa
tion that at the expiration of 00 days a
revision of the wage scale will bo ex
pected. This means that the $1 rato
per ton for puddling will be maintained
no longer. Already a 60 days' notice
to tho Finishers' union for the same
purpose ha3 been given, and it looks as
if before many weeks have goue by
that this section will be the scene of a
memorable discussion over the iron
workers' wages.

Crowded Trolley Car Plunges Into the
lev Eiver at Milwaukee.
THREE PERSONS DK0WNED.
Two Women Passenger and tho Moternian
Whose Carelessness Caused the Acci
dent Lost Their Lives Mine Hor
ror In France Boiler Explosion.
Milwaukee, Feb. 4. A " trolley car
plunged through the open draw of tho
Kinnickinnic avenue bridge at S:30 a.
m., carrying three people down to death
in the icy waters of the river. Six others
were rescned from the partially sub
merged car. It was the worst street car
accident that ever occurred in Milwau-
i kee and the news of the disaster sent a
thrill of horror throughout the city.
From all accounts the accident seems
to have clearly been due to the careless
ness of the niotormau, John Kennedy,
but he stuck to. his post in a vain en
deavor to stop the car which he had per
mitted to approach too near tho open
draw, and paid the panalty of his care
lessness with his life. The car struck
endwise in the river and was submerged
(or about two-thirds of its length, the
the fact that it did not go to the bottom
of the river, which is 18 feet deep at
that point, being due to the presence of
thick ice. This circumstance alone, it is
believed, made it possible to rescue any
of the passengers. The dead are:
Miss Antoinette G. Ehlman. a kinder
garten teacher in the Twelfth district
primary school and a daughter of Profc -sor
Ehlman, director of music in the publL'
schools.
John Kennedy, motonnan.
Miss Schmidtkunz, employed at tho
National Knittiug works.
Tlio Itcncued.
"W. P. Sovorey, 705 Walnut street, I:an 1
cut.
A. O. Ocrtell, 7t!G Island avenue.
G. W. Chase, 277 South street.
P. A. Kuclin, 1207 Reed street.
F. Brand, :i!0 Grove street.
Ella Walchholb, shoulder hurt.
Edward Hoffman, 440 Jackson street.
Miss Annie Alb, 710 Popular street.
A heavy crash followed as the ice wa3
struck, and then tho car gradually sank
half way into the water. The fire was
instantly quenched and the passengers
entirely submerged. The efforts to get-
out will probably never bo known. Cer
tain it is that the two ladies who met
their death must have been at the very
bottom and were instautly suffocated,
as their bodies bear no signs of brnises.
One woman, probably Ella Wachholz,
clung desperately to Edward Hoffman
as he continued to raise himself out- of
the water. He could lend no assistance,
however, as his strength was almost
gone. But the strong ana of a rescuer
was near at hand and the helpless
woman was safely borne above the
waters and soon placed in a place of
safety. Annie Alb was rescued in a
similar way. Their preservation is alone
due to the fact that they chanced to be
farthest, away from the rar door iu the
first attempt to escape.
Miss Schimdkunx's body was lirt dis
covered. Afterwards the body ofj Miss
Ehlman and the motonnan were taken
from tho car. Two attempts were made
to lift tho car, but the chains broko each
time. Police used grappling hooks on
the wrecked car without effect and it is
now thought the lifct of dead will be
limited to the three names given.
