most of the owners. .
Forscveril month it has lieen
evident tluit there wiif aiol harmony
in the iii!Tiae,eiiient .f the Fair.
For Severn! years Mr. V. D. Jones
lias heen superiiitei:;:ait and he
cause his horses have heen
uniformly succcssf ul in winning
premiums there has -uisen a de
cided and powerful opposition to
the contir.ueucy of his occupancy
of the position.
The crisis came lolay at noon
when the directors, by a vote of live
to three, agreed to sustain Presi
dent Windham in hie demand that
the premiums in the ureenraceof
Wednesday should not he paid.
'Rather than sif-n the warrant for
the payment of thin money," said
Mr. Windham, "I will tender to the
hoard my resignation." The hoard
then sustained the president.
While all this trouble is imfortu
n lie, Tub, Hi:iv'Li; believes it is for
the best interests -.f all concerned
that the facts shall be known.
The cluir-e is op. nlv ma le that
Mr. Jones "fixed" the race. I i y that
it is meant that an a-recincnt was
made for a division of the prize
money. Nmv, while Tin: I ! i; k--M.l
and also Presid.-nt Windham
does in.t charge that this
i a fact, the- public so
believes and it is evident that some
very radical changes must be made
in the officers of (In- Fair if it is to
be longer successful. Mr. Wind
Jiam does not charge Mr. Jones
with lining anything wrnn in re
gard to the horse race arrangement.
Ile only sees the inevitable - that
some change must be made to sat
isfy the people who are com
plaining. In this fin: Ih k ai.i. be

lip an interest in the fair and thai
all which is said .i-a-n-t him i- be
cause he has been foiimiah enou-li
to have his own horses winpriis.
-s Mr. iudli.im says -i his is
probably true, but in order to hae
the confidence of the public we
must avoid even the appearance of
evil and only for this reason do 1
object to payin- money as pre
miums when the evidence is posi
tive that the race was so changed -possibly
wiih no wron-- intent--that
men like Jud-e Vanatta say to
me that -if the money is paid
shall object in court."'

The woman was detected while try

I'in it.-el! is not a manufaclured
article, (t is one ol the ori-iual
llielals, an I is smelted from ores
which contain tin, jusl the same as
lead and silver, zinc ami iron are
obtained by the smell in - of the ores
which contain them. It is not
proper to speak of "iiiauufacturiii--tin"
any more than it would be to
speak of inanulacturiii-- -old or sil
ver of had. These ori-in.il metals
are all found in various forms in
the I'uiled Slates in very lar-e
quantities lint until about two
years a-o, no mine conlainin-- tin
ore in pay in- quantities in the
I'nited Slates has ever been discov
ered. Io not misunderstand me.
Hell metal, brass, ..older and steel
are manufactured articles. They
are made by the combination and
treatment of ori-inal metals. We
manufacture steel and iron -nods
but we do not manufacture iron.
Iron is a native product and is ob
tained by -melt in--ami separe.tiu
it from the substances which are
combined with it in the different
kinds of iron ore.
Within the last two years tin ore
has been found in the I'nited
States. A very larye tin mine is
now hem-- opened near Hill City, S.
I. The Temescal mine of Cali
fornia has been for some time pro
duciii quite a quantity of tin.
Very little of the ore has yet been
smelted at the Dakota mine. How
ever, tin is on the free list in the
Mckinley bill, and remain there
unless our own mines produce-a,-
Hill tons of spare tin between now
and IV.u.
Mr. Pope cifn say to his demo
cratic friend that there is not a
factory which "manufactures tin"
in the I'nited States, nor is there
one on the lace of the -lobe. Tin
is not a manufactured article. Nor

MET A WORTHY FOEM AN
Second of tlio Series of First
.District Joint Debates.
AND ALL ENDS WELL.
; Plain Facts Against Pretty Fiction
With Judgment Rendered as It
! bhould Be Calamity
comintt UriJOjular.
I
I Ihe joint discussion between
j Mry an and Field held at Teciimseh
, was one of the most earnest and
j powerful contests held in the state.
I hose who heard the discussion of
Mryan and Council two vears a-o
l-ay that the discussion yesterday
was much more loivefu! in every
way ami doubly int( rest in-- trotn
the fact that lor the first time since
Mr. Mryan came to .Nebraska a few
years a-o a- a .'audi. late lor c.ui
slTCss, he has met his match in
Jud j,e Field as a povvi rful debater
on public que-tions The result ol
the discussion is decidedly favor
able to Jud-e Field and the tvpuh.
beau cause in that part of t'u- state.
Field stands hi-her in the estima
tion of the public there than he did
before the debate and Mryan lower.
Field rose to the occasion and
hammered Mryan like an aressive
n-,iiui who Knew his power and
was brave eiiou- h to u-e it. w hile
Mryan appeared at a disadvantage
as compared with his former
triumphs in oratory. Mryan was
not weak in his effort, but Field
was stron-.
Heretofore Mr. Mryan has de
pemled much on his line manners,
his personal bearin-- and the
smooth aetiu-- in which he is so
accomplished. Hut the sled-e ham
mer blows of Field carried the dis
mission to a hi- her plane, so that
the fine manners of Mryan were
lost in the shiil'lh-.
There was a very lar-e and atten
tive audience. Durin- the openin
by Hryan. the applause was notice
able weak. This was evidently a
surprise to the speaker and he was
not able to conceal his embarrass
ment. Field appeared lo recognize
the situation and when he arose to
speak, after waiting for the splendid
applause to subside, there was a
look of such stron-- determination
in his face, and his manner was so
earnest, and his attack so powerful,
that ;i short, quick yell went up
from the republican side and a en
cral exchan-e of friendly nods
seemed to nay. "We've ot you
now, Mr. Mryan, where you've "ot
to come down from your hih
perch of fine manner) and line
oratory and talk business."
Mryan bei;an his speech by de
feuding his record in coti-ress.
lie said his office its a representa
tion was a national office ami in his
legislative acts he had voted and
acted as to the nation's rood and
not simply as the reprscnt itive of
his state. In defending his acts
Mr. Mr) an showed just a little nerv
ousness, but when he came to the
closin-- fifteen miiitues bis temper
and cha-rin were plainly mani
fested. Democrats excused Mryan for his
bad appearance on the -round that
he was sick from a Ion-; ride the
ni-ht before on a freight train.
Mryan resented keenly the char-v
that he was a calamity howler, but
said if to defend his political princi
ples wiis to lie ;i calamity howler,
then he was one. Field -ot back nt
him on this point in a manner that
made a fitting climax to the debate.
"My friend dod-vs the calamity
