PERSONAL, POLITICAL AND PERTINEST. Monday night, when the council was moralizing the city, it neglected one very important bit of reform that of suppressing the "white pants" fad. The city's reformation will never be complete until this is done. It is respectfully requested that in the line of further reformation, the council banish the Sunday newsboy from our streets. It will now be in order for the hon orable mayor and city council to adver tise for bids for the construction of a high board fence to surround the city, and warrant to keep any person want ing to spend money here, out of the city's sacred limits. David Brown yesterday packed a choice box of peaches from his farm south of the city, and sent them to his old friend J. Sterling Morton, to show him what a Nebraska Quaker can do a year like this in growing fruit. They were as fine as any peaches that have ever been raised in this state. Nebraska City News. A rumor was current on the streets today that some one shot three times at Hon. John C. Watson while at his home last evening. The report was made from the whole cloth and had not the least ground for its origin. Ne braska City News. A heavy flow of salt water was struck last Friday at a depth of 215 feet, while sinking a well on the lots of Church Howe in the eastern part of the city. The water has a taste sim ilar to that of the artesian well at Lin coin. Auburn Herald. A Beatrice girl read ment in a Chicago an advertise paper: "Girl wanted to sell baking powder. To any girl who will send us 3 for three dozen cans of our rapid selling baking powder, and show that it had all been sold, we will forward at once a beauti ful safety." She sent the money and by hustling like a house afire for three weeks she managed to unload the stuff The "safety" came in an envelope, and was one of these brass pins, horse blanket size, like mamma used to keep up our style with. As to the new woman, the best thing to do with her is to marry her, I've her and add her intelligence and pro gressive notions to the comforts of home. "No family should be without one," as the advertisements say. Last Sunday a party of young ladies went from Valley to the Elkhorn river, which is a short distance away, on a picnic. While some of the girls enjoyed fishing otheowent in bath ing. Hiss Louie Oster was one of the latter and in some way she got beyond her depth and, not beingable to swim, drowned in sight of her companions. We often hear people telling how we should "stand up for Nebraska," but Nebraska does not need anyone to stand up for her this year, as the state is in such a healthy and prosperous condition that she can stand up for herself.

"Up to the present time over 420, 000,000 silver dollars nave been coined, nearly all of which han been coined since the 'crime of 1873' and all of which is a legal tender for debt, or 'redemption money,' as the silver theo rists call it. It is not only nonsense but dishonest to represent silver as having been destroyed as primary money. The silver dollars In current use today stand exactly on an even footing with gold as a redemption money." N. Y. Adverat. It is such statements as the above upon which the people of the east are fed to create prejudice against free coinage. The fact is, under the policy set out by Foster and Harrison, and continued under Carlisle and Cleve land, not a dollar of silver has or can be used as redemption money. Silver is actually treated as token, or non legal tender money, and is not used to redeem even the silver certificates re turned by the gold-grabbing usurers. While the law gives the secretary the right to use it as such and to redeem all paper issues with silver dollars. the secretary and the president are so completely subjected to the' interests and control of the gold-grabbers that they are afraid to use the option given them by the Sherman law of 1890. Cringing like slaves before their Wall street masters, they have brought upon the country all the disaster and ruin that has run riot since the panic of 1893, and there is no hope of bettering matters except, by the election of a free coinage president and congress On this sime subject the Nebraska City News says: 'J. Sterling Morton, in auswer to a farmer who wrote demanding the 'res toration to its rights of the white metal' made reply: "What rights is S'lver deprived of at present? On the 12th day of June. 1895, in the treasury of the United States there are 347,346, 422 standard silver dollars. Are they not a legal tender for all debts, public and private? What more rights would the same number of gold dollars have. The able secretary of agriculture could improve his reputation for can dor, if not for truth, by telling the whole truth. While nearly all of the silver dollars in the treasury are kept there to redeem silver certificates and treasury notes, their right to be used for redemption purposes is limited by the rule adopted by the secretary to use only gold for such purposes. The same number or gold dollars, under this treasury ruling has the right of ultimate redemption inonej. The sil ver dollars have not. Mr. Morton knows this, why is he not frank enough to tell his farmer i riend so? Marvin, postmaster at Beatrice, imagines that to earn his salary and hold his place he must villify, abuse and lie about Mr. Hryan. His thirty pieces are a heavy load for Mr. Marvin to carry. . Tdere is talk of nominating Vice President Stevenson on a free silver platform. Such a nomination would be in the line of promotion, but when he comes out squarely for bimetallism it will be time enough to talk of him. Tue republicans seem to think they have a cinch on the next presidency, but just let them perpetrate auother straddle on the silver question, and they will see how easy it is to beat them with a western free coinage democrat. 13 rice, the corrupt capitalist who be trayed tariff reform in the senate last year, is again setting his pins to cap ture the Ohio legislature for a re-elec tion the coming winter.

Shrewd fellow that. lie was quick to discover that musical talen alone won't insure success in a country given over to the worship cf freaks. The Papillion Times complains be cause the assessoisof Sarpy put a value of 89 an acre on its farm lands, and as serts that because that is a higher fig ure than Cass county lands are assessed for, therefore its lands pay more than their share of the state tax. There is a good deal of humbug . about that That assessment is no nearer the act ual cash value of the land than is the assessment in Cass. Both are ridicu louslv low. and ought to be raised to at least three times the assessment rate, but the land owners havenorigh to complain. The Kansas state board of charities is in a bad way, even if it is still in ex istence. The governor removed Mrs Lease, on the demand of the two other members of the board. She contested his power of removal in the courts, but be was sustained, and her dismissal is confirmed. About the san.e time the commission appointed at her instiga- ion to investigate the other members of the board on charges of boodling convicted them on the testimony, and have so reported to the governor. Mrs. Lease claims that she is slightly ahead, as her removal was not based on ac cusations of dishonesty. There is a good deal of talk on the street and in high circles of authority to the effect that the council made a serious mistake in the passage of its take-down-the screens resolution Mon day night, and the probabilities are it will be rescinded. It is represented that a number of the saloons are hang ing onto their business simply by their teeth any how, and this resolution, in dicating a public policy of restriction and opposition is likely to close some of them up a fact which would prove undesirable and detrimental to the revenues oc tne city ana tne puuuc schools. It is held that if the saloons were prosperous it would be well enough to make them rigidly comply with the law, but until then this jump ing onto them has the appearance of persecution. "The faith of the advocate of a sin gle gold standard is composed of one truth and one pernicious error. That coined standard dollars should be of equal legal value is true, but that the metal in them must be of equal bullion value is a fallacy so contrary to our common sense and experience that it cannot be much aided by prophecy. Let us, as bimetallists, remember that we are Americans, citizens of the great republic, dealing calmly and deliber ately with. our own highest interests. Let us take counsel of faith and hope. Let us go forth with manly hearts, without fear, believing in all confi dence that the silver and gold dollar of our mints, the money of the past sound, tried and true, shall also be and remain the uionev of the future." Senator Turpie. In his recent 4th of July letter Pres inent Cleveland talks solemnly about the wrong of making "insidious ap peals to popular ptssion and preju dice." He evidently distrusts the good sense of the people the masses and has no confidence in their ability to discover and discount demagogy. When a man loses confidence in the in telligence of his fellow men it is pret ty good evidence lhac he has gone wrong, and is trying to carry out plans that are derogatoiy to the common good. The fact is the president has set up, like the childien of Israel in the wilderness, a golden calf, or a god of gold, which he is worshiping instead og the true God, and he is afraid the masses will follow their better sense of right and believe those who teach bimetallism. Such men as Jefferson, Jackson and Lincolu never lost faith in the good sense of the masses. They had au abiding faith in the honesty and patriotism of the people. It is only the usurers that distrust the masses. Well knowing that their bus iness is accursed of liod and is a rob bery of honest toil, they constantly fear that it may be overthrown. Since Mr. Cleveland has become rich he has lost faith in humanity. The Venezuelan Boundary. Chicago Record. With the return of Lord Salisbury to power some fresh interest is awakened in the matter of the boundary between Venezuela and British Guiana. With no justification but that of greater power the British have little by little moved the boundary line farther north on their maps, and have thus appro priated from helpless little Venezuela a large extent of territory exceedingly rich in natural resources. All effoits to induce the British government to submit the dispute to arbitration have been unavailing. The foreign policy of Lord Salisbury in the past has not been such that the friends of Venezuela and of fair play expect much at his hands today. In 1890 Venezuelan am bassadors approached him on the sub ject and his reply was that England would compromise on a stated bound arywhich was in fact a line even fur ther north than that drawn by Lord Roseberry in 1S86 .Special Notice.
