There 'is no longer any doubt but that Nebraska's own and only W. J. Bryan seeks a nomination for president at the hands ot the free silver democrats. The North Platte admirers of Mr. Bryan are no doubt pleased to see him forging to the front If the secretary of the treasury were to investigate the importation of prison made goods, instead of touting for a third term for Presi dent Cleveland, his idle time would be employed to the better advan tage of the people who pay him. Ex. The secretary of the populist state central committee makgs the statement that Judge Maxwell is certain to be the nominee of that party for supreme judge this fall. Before age" dimmed the Judge's intellect, he was a strong man on the bench, but he is now old, infirm and unfitted for the position. Though he supported Holcomb, it is well known that he has repu diated populism. The New York World estimates that the shrinkage in value of American securities owing to the panic of 1893 amounted to $2,000,- 000. 000. That is, hdwever, only one of the items of expense oi a democratic administration. Amer ica has had to put up with many humiliations as well as financial losses5 since Grover Cleveland- be came president. . The pathetic appeal of the popu lists of the country for protection against the feather head faction of the democracy now apparently in the ascendant, because they hive bodily stolen and carried away the most available plank of their old Ocala-Omaha platform, the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. "arouses much sympathy, but "what can be done about it nobody exactly knows. The pops omitted; theceremony of copyrighting the free coinage plank and patenting! the device known as 16 to 1 and' of course the democrats stole it the moment they thought that there -was a commercial value attached ta it. .

The pops should have remem bered it and put that plank in a safe deposit vault from the begin ning. Lincoln Journal. Down in Kansas the repulican supreme court has decided that the republican governor has 'lid power to remove pop officials of theistate institutions until their terms ex pire. This makes the pops of that state happy. . But if the republican court of this state should decide that the pop governor has no power to remove republican officials of state institutions before the expira tion of their " terms a howl would rent the air from Blair to Benkel man and frera Keya Paha to Rulo.

It is shown that the committeeVeceived and dis bursed among the needy veterans on the frontier a total of $22,049.46. The work was done without noise or parade, but the committee was one ot the most efficient of all the relief agencies at work in the state during the trying season now hap pily over. In an editorial treating on the effect of the late rains on the Ne braska crop prospects, the Inter Ocean says: It is truly amazing that the pioneers of the far west have shown so much pluck during these two seasons, and they certain ly deserve the turn in fortune which seems to have come to them. If a season of plenty does really come to them; and of improved prices, the whole country will share in the benefits. With our network of railroads there is no isolation. The remote frontier and the seaboard have a unity which was impossible when this century began, or even when it bad reached the middle point. The political effect promises to be good. With poverty to the most extreme degree pinching those far west farmers the very arguments used against free silver served to whet their appetite for it. If it would really bring a ,450-cent. dol lar"that was just what they wanted. It came 50 per cent nearer matching their crops than a 100-cent dollar. But with fair crops and genuine prosperity they will recover their equilibrium and favor genuine bimetallism." The Nebraska weather-crop re port for the week ending June 10 th is as follows: The week as a whole has been very favorable one for the growth of crops. The early part of h week was rather warm, espe- ciayj'in the eastern portion of the sf ate4 wljile the latter part was.cool and showery. The temperature on the aVerage has been about normal in? thV eastern part of the state and a littlebelow-in' the western.

The high winds which prevailed during the first part of the week with attendant dust storms, did some injury to corn by whipping the leaves and even bury ing the plants in a few fields, rend ering re-planting necessary, but in general the corn has made good growth and is in excellent condition. Cultivating corn is general over the state and in some cases the crop is being worked the second time, while in some localities corn plant ing is still in progress. Australia went slightly ahead of the United States in gold produc tion last year, the figures respect ively being $41,000,000 and 39,900, 000. The vield of silver in the United States was 4,000,000 ounces less than in 1893. Colorado, Mon tana, Utah and Idaho turned out 91 per cent of American silver ahd 40 per cent of the whole American yield of ffold. The bullion value of their silver was $28,754,000, but its coinage value at 16 to 1 would be $58,545,000. Those states are not whooping- up silver for abstract principles merely. Secretary Morton, who is fond of writing letters to his agricultural friends about smut in wheat, chinch bugs, the free silver distemper, and other bucolic afflictions, sent a mis sive to one of his correspondents to day which contained a point too good to be wasted on the prairie air. "What you want in order to be prosperous," wrote the secretar' to his farmer friend, "is notthe free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, or any other ratio, but the es tablishment of government grist mills at which you farmers will be able to deliver 50 cents worth of wheat and get in return a dollar's worth of flour. Until some politi-J cal party puts a demand for these government grist mills in its plat form, I don't see why you farmers should get excited and go around demanding a change in the currency system." Washington Cor. Chica go Times-Herald. The farmers in western Kansas have built a good many "Jumbo" wind engines, like the one described by the Journal a few days ago. and they find that it is possible to get an enormousamount of power out of the wind practically without cost. The biggest wheel yet made out there is twenty-seven feet in di ameter, twenty-one feet long and has eight fans. It runs when the wind is blowing from any direction except due east or west, and the harder the wind blows the faster it pumps water into the irrigating ditches. It is so simple that any man can build one out of common materials in a few days, and if it is well made it will easily last a life time. Any farmer will be able to build a "Jumbo" from a description if he can only get a proper idea of its workings. Let him take the fanning arrangement out of an ordinary fanning mill a"nd place it upright in a box that will protect the lower part but give the wind free access to the upper fans. After watching this little mill for a few minutes he will be able to construct a "Jumbo" und,attach it torik pump without further plans or specifica-tionsStatefjournal.

HcKulta to Continue In Control Until Up Victory 3For the Ttc organization Aflkirs of the Organization are Wound Committee Groenhnt Pleased. Springfield, June 13. The supreme court of Illinois today filed its opinion in the case of the people ts. the Distill ing and Cattle Feeding company. The judgment of ouster entered by the lower court is affirmed. The effect of this de cision will be to break up the whisky trust. In course ot the opinion the court says: "No one who intelligently considers the scheme of thk trust as detailed in the information can for aaoeae&t doaht that it was desigsed to be, ami. was, ibl fact, a combination in ree&aMto tra4t, aad that it was orgaaiaed for the per pooe of gtttlsg e-sHtroi of the naaafM tare and sale of all aieiillery jtedaota souk) stifle coa petition, aai-toltt aiM to dictate the wout awf actafid tmJL Uattt prices at which &e same afcoalsMtt sola." The court cites a large number of de cisions showing coznbutatioQS of a simi lar character that have been held illegal in other states, among others the match trust. Greeahnt Is Pleased. Peoria, June IB. J. B. Greenhut, ex-president of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding company, seemed to be very well pleased this morning with the de cision in the quo warranto case. He said it was only what had been expect ed, and that legal proceedings would be commenced by the owners of the prop erty leased to the trust to regain pos session of the same. He contends that all leases executed to the trust are by the decision null and void, and should the stockholders seek to retain posses sion of the property, suits! in ejectment will be brought against them. Leases were for 25 years and were assigned by the old trust to the Distilling and Cattle Feeding company. There is no clause in the leases providing for removal of betterments at the expiration of life thereof, and lessees will be apt to de mand all they are entitled to. There is a question as to the right of lessees to remove machinery from distilleries, and on that a fight will be made. Mr. Greenhut says the reorganization com mittee now has nothing to reorganize. He does not think another combine like the distilling and cattle feeding possi ble, because opposition has grown too great. Mpleaejr on the Decision. Springfield, Bis., June 13. Attorney General Moloney, speaking of the deci sion, said: "The supreme court practi cally holds that the Distilling and Cat tle Feeding company is a trust and that as such Judge Gibbons of Chicago did right in pronouncing a judgment of civil death against it. The supreme court also decided that the attorney general was right in his views of the law regarding the matter and that the Distilling and Cattle Feeding company is no more than a continuation of the old distillers' cattle feeding trust. The decision," he continued, "is one of the ablest opinions ever delivered by the supreme court of this state. In no un certain language it sounds the death knell of trusts In this state forever. In every point on which I made a fight I was sustained." "Will Gaard Trast Property. Chicago, June 13. Beceiver John McNnlta was not inclined to discuss the whisky trust decision, but asserted his intention to hold the trust's property at any risk. The opinion had been ex pressed that in the event of a decision such as was rendered today the trust's distilleries would revert to their orig inal owners, some of whom had ex pressed the intention of seizing the plants. "I don't think the decision Tirtll result In any immediate change of hands for the properties," Receiver Mc- HTnlta said, "for i intend to hold to all Srri i 3. rl I MILLINERY?

Reform Presbyterians ITavo Finished Their Work at DonTer. Denver, June lb. The synod of the Eeformed Presbyterians adjourned at midnight and most of the delegates have gone today on a trip to Pike's peak. The committee on temperance report ed very strong resolutions against the sale or use of liquors and tobacco and the report was adopted unraimously. The government of the Uni States was condemned for countenancing the liquor tialfic and the sale of narcotics. The synod decided to enlarge its work among the Indians in Oklahoma and will endeavor to unite the small con gregations and supply them with, preachers. The report of the committee on Sab bath observance, as submitted by ReT. J. R. Wylie, was adopted and com mented on most favorably.

Stanley, who has spent several years in tho orient, a large part of the time be ing oconpied as professor in ono of the native colleges in Japan, is at present iu Washington. He says he is not sur prised at the reports of an uprising in China against the missionaries. The Chinese, he says, regard the Europeans and Americans as the instigators of the Japanese war, and therefore hofd them to be largely responsible for the degra dation of the Chinese as a nation. tVm Take an Appeal.
