The: most sensational bill passed by Congressman Breckinridge during his career as a statesman was that fatal $10 bill. The only living ex-president of the I'nited States is Benjamin Harrison. Hut cheer up! There will be another ex -president pretty soon. A Sax Francisco architect has drawn 40,000 in a foreign lottery, ac cording to reports. If they be true it is one of the greatest architectural drawings on record. A New York lawyer has secured a verdict of $1,000 against a railroad company for the loss of eight teeth. When a man can get a full set for 88, this looks unreasonable. Tom Reed's reason for opposing the tariff bill is that a low tariff will pro mote manufacturing in the west. And tarifflte newspapers expect a republi can rival among western farmers. Jerry Simpson declares that the United States senate should be abol ished. The members of that body no doubt believe that Jerry Simpson should be abolished. This is reciprocity. The Illinois township electionshave gone republican in spite of a net gain of three cents a bushel in the price of wheat. The American people are very hard to please, even under a tingle gold standard. The saloonkeepers of Iowa are also displeased with the mulct tax law. It seems that Governor Jackson had a much better opportunity to popularize by a veto than Mr. Cleveland has had during his present term. Silks. PATTERN DEPARTMENT On account of the increasing demand for Patterns we have found it necessary to double our stock. Everything from an elephant to a full bridal outfit. Do not send to Omaha for Patterns. We have them all in stock Anything to be found is in our stock. Do Not Fail CAPITAL COKKESPONDENCK. WAsnixoTox, D. C. April 4. 1894. Wall street has no use for silver money, and it baa succeeded in impressing its views on the president very completely, and lie has indicated, in vetoing the Bland seigniorage bill, that he would agree to permit no further coinage un less a bill was passed authorizing the issue of $23,000,0(50 or more in gold bonds a bill, it is safe to say, which will never ba passed. That veto, by the way, is the last straw that permits a united demo cratic party in the future while Mr. Cleveland is president. Ever since he was inaugurated he has been building up a factional wing f the party, com posed of the gold worshippers, just as Buchanan did during his term as presi dent, resulting in the breaking in two of the party in 1SC0. This result seems to be inevitable from the pres ent situation. The refusal of Mr. Cleveland to call congress together last spring to act upon the tariff, as demanded by the party through the preBs; his subsequent call of the extra session after his friends, the Wall street bankers, had brought on the panic, demanding the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law as the shibboleth of administration favor; his making the approval of his course on the money question the only avenue through which patronage would be dispensed, and finally, his veto of the seiguiorage bill, which had received the approval of more than three-fourths of the democratic vote in both houses of congress all these things point inevitably to one result that the party, to maintain its avowed position, must part company with the president and his bagatelle of gold bug satellites from the east. Whether this division will become a fixed fact throughout the west and south this year simply depends upon the courage and independence of the democracy in those sections. But that it is coming no one gifted with political foresight can question. The vote today in the house on reconsidering the vote on the vetoed Bland bill shows that the east ern democrats have joined bands with the eastern republicans in obeying the dictates of Wall street, while a few western republicans joined the western democrats in sustaining that measure. Dovey Pont de Loie is still very popular, but we have a full line of Failles, Gros Grains, Aimures, Su rahs. Chinas. Plain and Brocades Satins are gain ing great popularity this season, and are very styl ish. We have a Striped Wash Silk, fast colors, at GUc per yard. Sheetings, Muslins, Quilts, Pillow Case Mus lins, Outing Flannels, English Flannelettes, and we have these goods at the very lowest price on the market, and before buying your new Sheet ings, Muslins, etc , don't fail to lock over our stock.

Last week the house suddenly found itself threatened with the necessity of electing :i new speaker, but the danger wa3 a very brief oie. The gov ernor of Georgia had offered the vacant senatorship, occasioned by the death of Senator Colquitt, to Mr. Crisp, but it only took that clear headed gentleman a day to make up his mind not to ac cept it. Meantime, however, the tongue of gossip was wagging in a lively raauner as to the election of a successor. Messrs. McMillan, Hatch, Springer, Bland and Bryan were all talked of as possibilities with the chances most favorable to the firt uamed, because of his long service. Mr. Bryan told his friends that he was not a candidate, and united with others in asking Mr. Crisp to decline the proffered promotion for the good of the party in the house. It was fortu nate that Mr. Crisp saw his duty so plainl) ; otherwise a bitter contest might have ensued. At last, after seven weeks of delay, the debate on the tariff bill was begun in the senate Monday Senator Voor- hees opening with a two-hours' speech, carefully prepared, in defense of the bill. Senator Allison followed, con tinuing over for an hour and a half to day; and the fact was developed that it is the republican program to delay ac tion as much as possible. Senator Mills then made a ringing speech of an hour on the advalorem feature of the bill as opposed to the specific duties of the McKinley bill. His ringing voice and eloquent utterances was in strange contrast with the humdrum methedsof senators generally, and aroused the galleries to a high pitch of enthusiasm. The man who can sit in the senate gal leries and listen to the dull plaMtudes of a senatorial debate, as a rule, is very easily satisfied. He can hardly appre ciate what it is to be bored. It would be a godsend to the Amer ican people were the constitution so amended as to permit the people to elect their senators by a direct vote. The superatnuated old fogies who libel the spirit of American institutions by occupying seats on that floor would soon give place to younger and more active men, in accord with modern thought and modern progress.

Present appearances indicate that two months or more will be consumed by a useless and tiresome debate on the tariff bill, and then a half month more w ill be lost by conference debates an I maneuvers before the measure will go to the president. We shall see. C. W. S. TRl'K IJKMOCKACY UNDISMAYED. The following from the Dubuque Herald givt-s evidence that soon the western democratic clans will be gath ering in force and the tariff reform slogan will till the air with its notes until hill and glen will echo thesouuds back again, stirring the hearts of the people and bringing them together for another effort to secure that equality before the law so essential to the pro motion of the interests of the govern ment collectively and individually. Read from the Herald of the 6th inst. and note the clear, distinct sound of the slogan: "The weak-kneed democratic sen ators of New York, New Jersey and the east may fear to make changes in the tariff as demanded by the Chicago platform, but the western democrats have no such trembling. The key note sounded by the speeches at the annual banquet of the democratic Iroquois club in Chicago the other night was very defiant in its demands for the carrying out of the platform promises for tariff reductions. The western democracy in its vigor is retreating not a foot in its tariff reform fight. The Iroquois club is an intellectual body of democrats and well speaks for this region. The whole tone of the speeches was in favor of radical tariff reform and even sounded free trade. As one speaker well said: 'No man is guar anteed liberty and th pursuit ot hap piness while there is 65 per cent or 47 per cent, or any other per cent of duties taken from him for the nourish ment of his neighbor.' " William Laidlaw, the young man whom Millionaire Russell Sage used as an improvised bomb-proof when a crank attempted to dynamite him some months ago, has been awarded $25,000 damages by a New York court. The penurious Mr. Sage is doubtless sadly reflecting that it would have been cheaper to settle with the dynamiterin the first place. Always have your prescription filled at Gering & Co'a. OH, Main SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE. Chicago Times. Representative Bryan of Nebraska is .. . . - , , . - continuing his good fight for the pas- sajreof his bill securing to States the " right to choose senators by popular vote, ii' they so desire. It is a fight for true democracy, and tkere seems to be every indication that it will be a win ning fight. The purposes of the bill have tieen briefly utlined in the Times and the desirability of its passage is generally unquestioned. It is Repre sentative Bryan's idea, as well as the idea of every right-thinking citizen. that United States senators should be chosen by a direct vote of the people, rather than in legislative assemblage, wherein coirupt practices may find play. He seeks through this bill to avoid the expensive and aggravating institution known as a legislativedead lock, and desires that every legal voter be permitted to express his senatorial preferences at first hand, and not through the proxy of a handful of men who too often betray the trust reposed in them by their constituents, whom they are morally bound to serve. The measure is h wise one and should cer tainly find favor in congress as it does with the people. Already it is before the committee on the election of presi dent, vice-president and representa tives in congress, and it is expected that this body will reach a decision in the case at its next meeting. This de cision will be favorable if the desires of the democratic masses are heeded Every state is anxiously awaiting re lief in the matter. Oklahoma, which was thiown open to boomers a little more than a year ago, already claims a population of 250,000, which is larger than Delaware, North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Arizona, Nevada or New Mexico. It has more territory than any one of the twelve slates already in the union. Its property has an assessed valuation of $13,951,050, and increase of over $7, 000,000 in the past two years. It is a splendid agricultural region. In the past year the farmers barvested284,254 acres of corn, 222,319 acres of wheat, 109,374 acres of oats, 21.311 acies of cotton, 18,735 acres of sorghum, 14,121 acres of Hungarian millet and 4,423 acres of broom corn.
