THE CHXCOBY BOTOTT.
The chicory company hM juft Issued,
the following circular to grower*, which'
explains itself: y:
Fbemont, Neb., Not. 17,18&6. ’
Dear Sib—Your contract with tbo
German chicory company provides that
the company shall pay you 110.50 per
ton for all chicory beets delivered in
good condition. It also provides as
follows:
If the Mid German Chicory company
fail, because of the invalidity of the
laws of the state of Nebraska now pro
viding for a bounty to be paid for man
ufactured chicory, or through no fault
of its own to recover the bounty there
by provided for, or to realize money on
any state warrants or other obligations
issued as evidence thereof, then said
German Chicory company is to pay the
sum of IB per ton for said chicory beets,
this sum being the prevailing price paid
for ohicory beets before the enactment
of the bounty law, and in the event of
said law providing for said bounty being
declared invalid after the payment of
said sum of $10.50 per ton for chicory
beets to me for the quantity of chicory
beets that may have been already de
livered by me to said German Chicory
company, before said German Chicory
company shall have been paid or shall
have realized anything from said bounty,
then I will repay to the said German
Chicory company, on demand, the sum
of $1.50 for each and every ton so
delivered to it by me, and for which I
may have been paid at the rate of $10.50
per ton.
Bince the result of the election in
Nebraska has become known, it has
come to our knowledge that certain
influences will be brought to bear upon
the next state legislature, which assem
bles in January, 1807, to repeal the
bounty act now in force, and it is
known that at present a majority of
! that body will be favorably disposed
towards its repeal. Owing to the fact
that this design is liable to be consu
mated, and also to the further fact that
the last legislature failed to make any
appropriation for the payment of the
bounty, it is necessary for us to enforce
the above provision, and payment for
your chicory beets will be computed on
the basis of $0 per ton. The bounty
question has been submitted to the
supreme court of the state, who now
have the matter under consideration.
Should their decision be favorable, and
the coming legislature allow the present
law to stand and make an appropriation
providing for the payment of the
bounty, we shall then be in position to
pay you the additional $1.50 per ton for
chicory beets delivered by you.
The German Chicory Company,
The American Chicory Company,
George A. Mead, Secretary.
Mr. Mead of the chicory company was
seen in regard to this circular And
expressed deepest regret that this action
had been found necessary by the board
of directors of \he chicory company.
He stated that the company had already
made two payments on the basis of
$10.50 per ton, but that the company
felt that it was unsafe to go further
until the validity of the law had been
decided, and until the legislature had
declared itself in favor of continuing
the bounty. Mr. Mead also expressed
the sincerest regret that anything should
occur to disturb the friendly feeling
which has been expressed by the chicory
irrowers for the company and hoped
that the action of the legislature might
still be of such a character as to make it
possible to pay the $10.50 per ton yet.
Every effort will be made in the
power of the members of the chicory
company to assist the farmers In secur
ing the additional $1.50, which however,
rests entirely with the coming legisla
ture.
Asked for some figures as to the dif
ference between the $9 and $10.50, Mr.
Mead stated that the situation was as
follows:
On or before the 15th of December all
of the chicory roots will have been paid
for, but only a small proportion of the
chicory will have been manufactured.
The amount of the bounty will have
been paid to the farmers, amounting to
about $8,000. Now, if the incoming
legislature shall repeal the bounty law,
the company will be deprived of the
repayment of this $8,000, which, in view
of the extremely low price of manu
factured chicory, the company do not
feel able to stand.—Fremont Tribune.

CLXVXLAKD TO TSAVXL.
Washington, Not. 24: Mrs. Cleveland
la studying French. She is taking three
lessions a week of an hour’s duration
each. Her professor, who is one of the
well known teachers of the capital, says
his distinguished pupil shows an unusual
aptitude for the French speech and has
already acquired considerable knowledge
of the language. Mrs. Cleveland’s
course in endeavoring to acquaint her
self with the language which is most
spoken on the European continent may
be a good clue to the ‘intentions of the
president after his term has expired. It
would seem to strongly indicate that the
president has in mind a foreign tour.
Mr. Cleveland has never been abroad,
and the complete change of scene would
no doubt be both pleasant and beneficial
to' him after he has laid down the cares
of his high office. There is no doubt
that he would be a great attraction
abroad, his action on the Venezuelan
question having directed greater atten
tion to him than Europe generally gives
to presidents of the United States.
There has been much conjecture as to
what Mr. Cleveland would do after the
4th of March. Some time ago a story
wm started that Mr. Cleveland, Mr.
Oloey and Mr. Carliile would open a
law office in New York, but thia dory
was denied by Mr. Carlisle. While it is
not improbable that Mr. Cleveland will
open a law office in New York on his
return from his European tour, if he
decides to swing around the old world
circle, he has not thus far confided his
intention of doing so to anybody.
Unless it should be his disposition to
again enter active life as a citizen, there
is no necessity for Mr. Cleveland doing
so, for he is now a rich man. His for
tune is estimated at <500,000. He has
had <400,000 salary as president, but
probably not more than one-third of his
present wealth is a saving from his
renumeration for serving the American
people as cbeif executive. The rest he
made in his law practice during the four
years' interim between his terms as
president and in real estate transactions
in Washington, in which he was
remarkable fortunate.
Some interest attaches also to the
future of the members of President
Cleveland’s eabinet.
Secretary Olney will go back to Bos
ton to resume the practice of law. The
secretary of state U known to cherish
tba hope that when the demoeretie '
party aeea the error of Its recent waye It ’•
may discover in the man who gave the
Britiah lion’a tail the moat vigorous
wrench it hu ever received, an excellent
candidate for the presidency.
Secretary Carlisle has already an
nounced his intention to resume his law .:
practice for the purpose of making the .
money which he needs.
Secretary Wilson, too. will, it is -
believed, be given a judicial appoint
ment by the president if he flnda an
available place for him before the 4th of
March. There is talk of Judge Cox
realgning’from the District of Columbia .
supreme bench, and if he doee Mr. Wil
son will very likely get that vacancy.
Secretary Lamont will return to Mew
York, where he has business interests.
He expects at the next election to be a
candidate for governor of the state.
Secretary Francia will return to St.
Louis, where hie business interests are
large.
Attorney General Harmon will again
take up the practice of law in Cincin
nati, where he was, previous to his
appointment to the cabinet, a member
of one of the most noted and most she
cessful law firms in Ohio.
Nothing is known of the future intea- - *
tions of Secretary Morton.—Sionx City
Times. *••• Hi. 3 in* /
