Tho directors otHhe iiincoln and
iDawsqn coanty irrigation district met
at Gothenberg the first of the week and
opened the bids for the sale of. the $275,-
000 of bonds to "be issued upon thatndis-t
tnct ior the construction of fifty miles of
main canal and tweuty-fivo miles -of lat
erals. The only bid considered "legal
was made by I. E. Doty of David City in
person, who bid 93 cbnts oh the dollar
for the bonds, with the understanding
that he was to have the privilege of
bidding on the construction of said
canal, and in case he failed7 to receive
the contract to build said canal his bid
should not bo considered. The board
rejected all bids. During the past week
JE. C. Kinney, hydraulic engineer, nnd
general manager of the West Gallatin
Irrigation company of Manhattan,MonL,
resurveyed and checked up the previous
surveys made by the surveyors in charge
or the Lincoln and Dawson county irri
gation canal, and reported that the
8275,000 worth of bonds voted, upon the
district, if sold at 93 cents on the dol
lars, would furnish ample means for the
completion of the canal, and that the"
canal was practical, and that the cost of
irrigation per acre in uiis district was
below ihe average. However, he advises
that a hydraulic engineer resurvey the
line and furnish plans and specifications
for its construction. The report was
read by the board, but not acted
upon.
T. J. Devin, a brother-in-law of ex-
president Harrison" in a recent interview
at Ottumwa. Iowa, scored the news
papers which keep reiterating the state
ment that Harrison's betrothal to Mrs.
Dimmick is causing trouble in the Har
rison family. Devin is connected with
the Burlington R'y., and bis wife is IT
half sister of General Harrison. He
admitted to the Bee correspondent that
Mrs. McKee was at hrst opposed to the
match, but said that she was now recon
ciled. Ho stat' d that the papers which
profe-sed to bel eve that lir. Harrison
would accept another nomination for
r resident did him an unkindness. Harr
r son stated to tba"relative3 before leav
ing the White House that he never
wanted to go back there again, and had"
always stuck to it. Devin said: "Har
risori'"5sotjld not accept- the nomination
under any consideration. He is friendly
both to McKmley and Allison, but has
a nartiality for Allison- Michener, the
big man of Indiana politics, is square
footed for Allison, so is John C. lSTew,
and where you find these, you usually
find General Harrison, though I don'L
think Harrison will take an actix'e part
in the .nomination of any one-. The can
didates are all his friends. Indiana
will give a part of its vote to Allison;

The. Finarieial Question. .
'In order tb'shed additional light upon
this ihteresting.subject it may be stated
that we, as a colony, of Great Britain,
and as an independent nation, have
always used the' decimal system of riota-
tion,m which ten of the given Senomina
- . ' ' .
tion make one of the next higher, and
one of the given denomination makes
tea of the next Iower;and as in all of our
arithmetical calculations thTs system of
notations'was in common use. it was but
natural, when odx forefathers wero . con
fronted with the necessity .of devising
monetary system, that some one should
hit upon the plan "of making our money
system conform as nearly as possible to
the system qf notation used to. compute
the amount contained in different quan
tities of the' same kind, or in other words
in solving problems in the. fundamental
rules of arithmetic. It was no longer
desirable nor . pleasant to use the
system of GreatBritain, neither was it
practicable, for the country was so
filled with an influx of coinof overy name
and nation that honest people-were un
able to .count" their money, and were
cheated and robbed by money changers
and .-harpers. Finally after the subject
had been most thoroughly discussed, the
agitation continuing for 'years, aftr
book upon book had been written upon
the sulject, and several years L&fore
"Coiny' unit of value of 371 J: grains
was. mentioned along in. the year 17SG
it. was resolved by. congress, uthat ;he
money of account proceed in a decimal
ratio." Removing -all superfluous lan
guage from the vording of the law as ii
stands on the statutes, and we discover
that after several years of agitation the
statesmen of that time had succeeded
in establishing two facts of history tvitb
,both of which almost every ehild in the
country is familiar. The first being the
Veil known and oft repeated tables viz:
Ten millg. make one cent; ten cents', one
dime; ten dimes, one .dollar; and ten dol
lars, ood eale. The other, betog the
fact that the highest copper piece should
be-the cent, the-rlittle -piece of money
which every little boy and girl in' "the
country is familiar? TBc author ofCom'
boldly assorts that the icgBlatiqn which
G-tablished these well-known, .principles,
is trivial to bo used in an argument: but
as the action of congress at that time
has remained for over a century, and is
likely to. continue long after "Uoin-"
and
j his uFinanciaLSchoor' are both
i
fOTgot-
tec, wo may be pardoned for' espn ssing
the opinion that this vary law is the
foundation stone on. which cur whole
tnohefrry system rests; The tendency
of "free silver advocates is to ignore all
financial laws. and. ail units of value
which existed prior to 17Q2.probabh from
a mistaken idea that some of theO-Iaws
t militate against theicpefcfheory. While
.it is intensely interesting, to.traca exist
ing laws 'to thCir.' fountain head, and
learn what bearing they had in shaping
the destiny of the nation,-it would puz
zle any person of unbiased judgment to
explain what bearing a ' unit of value,.
e'ven though it glistened with sfiver,fixed
by our 'forefathers over a . century ago
has upon the present financial difficulty.'
Granting the fact that 3714 grains of
silver were made the unit of value in
1792, are we to argue from thi3 fact that
to change the unit at any future time,
when the increased commerce and foreign
trndeof the country required-it, would
bring disaster to the nation anv more
.than it vtfould when the different colonies
became independentrand discarded their
various standards of Value for one which,
was accepted by all -the people of the
country?
The wail whicb.goes up frqm the advo
cates of unlimited coinage, whenever
mention is made of the change from sil
ver to-the gold standard,;and their stren
uous efforts to drive us backward fifty
years in our history, is an evidence that
they do not possess that energy, deter
mination and spirit of advancement
typical of the true .American, bnt that
they wish to. take rank with such nations
as China, Mexico and some of the South
American countries.
When the co!onits vere pursuing
the even tenor of their way, occasionally
relieving the monotony by a Ecrimroage
witb the noble red inen'of the forest,

How TrecsTire Xs Transported In CHina.
We have heard much of the diverting
bf public treasure to private gain by
Chinese officials of allranks, and the evi
dence of it in the failure of the Chinese
army and navy to be ready for the in
evitable struggle vrilh Japan is too re
cent and convincing to ha disputed, but
cn the other hand we can only wonder
F at the power of this lavr of responsibil-
,ity which, in such a land, enables the
remotest province to transport its dues
to Peking in solid silver, by the sim
plest means, "without loss by the way
and without tho protection of a single
soldier. Nothing impresses one more
with the absoluteness of this power as
applied to transportation than to meet a
line cf pack mnlcs, horses, or camels,
loaded with silver bullion. The silver is
usnally confined in rough logs of wood
that have been split, hollowed out, and
then bound together, and each load is
marked with a little flag of imperial
yellow, stating the amount and destina
tion. That is all the protection there is
except the ordinary drivers, who carry
no weapons, and are attended by no
guard. In what other land on the face
of the globe conld tho same be done?

His Animal Food. ,
Pat Shinnegan works on the Allen
place, and his mma is no poetic mind,
and whatever comes into it receives a
literal construction that sometimes
makes it unrecognizable when it comes
out again. In fact, Pat's mind is a very
sausage machine 01 a mind.
Kow, it happens that Pat was feeling
ill for some days, anji so, as his employ
er is an 31. D., foil fledged, albeit some
what young- iu years, Pat applied to
him for a remedy. The doctor asked the
symptoms, felt his pulse, examined his
tongue, and did whatever else profes
sional etiquette demanded. Then he
said: ,
"Patrick, yon 're run down a bit,
that's alL "What yoa need is animal
food."
And Pat departed quite contented.
About two days afterward the doctor
happened to think of his case, and call
ed on Pat in the stable.
,rWell, Pat," said he, "how are we
getting on with the treatment?"
"Oh, shure, sir," said Pat, "Oi man-
nee all riiiht with the crain and oats.
bnt it's ha'r-rd with the chopped hay."

He" Scored Journalism.
A successful physician, who began
life as a reporter, spoke very scornfully
of the newspaper man who had not
sense enough to discover that the talents
needed to earn him a bare living in
fcial Tewards" iir ' aiiy other business or
proiessiou. 1 suppose it mast have been
some such idea that was at the root of
Horace Greeley's fixed objection to pay
ing any man a salary of more than $25
a week, it being his opinion that if an
employee of a newspaper could earn
more tnan tnat ne ougnfc to strike out
for himself. Considering the number of
second and , third rate newspapermen
who have made first class reputations
m politics; nave adorned presidential
cabinets, and made their mark general
ly in the public life of the country,
here does seem to be something wrong
with the. old hands at the bellows who
can find nothing better to dp. Forum.
