Con-guess has voted John M.Thayer
a pension of $100 a month because he
was in need. Here's hoping he may
make better use of it than he did of all
the big salaries he has enjoyed during
the past thirty-five years.
The Omaha Bee (goldbug) regret
fully concedes that the free coinage
men in the democratic party are going
to have a large majority in the nation
al democratic convention, O. What
will the cuckoos do then?
Aftek the hottest sort of a cam
piiga Kentucky's "favorite sou,'' Gov.
Bradley, carried the republican con
vention and got the delegates in
structed for him as against McKinley,
on a distinctly marked goldbug plat
form. If the arc lights are not kept burn
ing brighter than they did Saturday
and Sunday nights, there is not much
use of the city paying anything for the
light they furnish, because it would
hardly compare with a tallowdip light.
The committee on lights should put on
its glasses.
Gov. Crouxse's preamble and reso
lotions in ridicule of John M. Thurs
ton very happily pricked the bubble
of his false pretenses, and sowed the
seeds that are sure to spring up, like
the famed dragons of Grecian myth
ology, full-armed, to devour him.
Every word of the resolution is true,
and the people of the state know it.
Let Mr. Thurston prepare for his

The circumlocution prevailing in
the British foreign and war cfllces has
delayed sendiug troops to meet the
rising of the Matabeles ot .South Africa
until the report now comes that
Huluwayo has fallen into the hands of
the Africans, and the whole of the
natives are up in arms to drive out the
British from their chief .South African
possession. It would be a fitting re
buke to British selfish greed if they
were to be permanently driven out of
that country.
Sentiment in favor of free silver
never grew faster than it is growing
today, and that growth is not confined
to the ranks of any particular political
party. Republican free silver leagues
are being organized daily in every
western state. Western people are
fast opening their eyes to the fact that
they have been for years under bond
age to the monied east, and they pro
pose to throw off the shackles, even if
they must leave temporarily the party
which they love. Men are thinking
seriously today on this financial prob
lem, and serious thinking is' bound to
make a free-silver man out of every
voter who resides outside the influence
of the banks and commercial clubs.
Bless God for the gift of thought.

The following preamble and resolu
tions, Jntroileeil in tVe lute reptib
licau state convention by ex Governor
Crounse, and read and laid on the table
I by that body, is the neate.t bit of
! roasting tbaj John M. Thurston ever
' got. They deserve a place in the per
manent political literature of .Ne
braska: "Whereas, Senator Thurston has
kindly volunteered to leave his seat in
the United States senate and journey
several times half way across the con
tinent to atteno the meetings of the
state republican committee and direct
its proceedings ; also to have himself
i made delegate to waul and county con
ventions, and as self-constituted dicta
tor, happily styled "King John the
First," has us"d his edict di'ectine
the selection of himself, John I-. Wed-
ster and Peter Jansen as delegates to
the national republican miivention.
and tixing the boundaries from which
this convention may elect the other
two delegates at large; and,
"Whfukks, It is understood that,
li riving gatl-eml to himself the sev
eral tu t-s ;itid cilices of senator, deb -gate
iiml dictator, he is ambitions for
the additional honor of being nomi
nated as vice president or holding a
place in the cabine', where as secre
tary of t he interior or attorney gen
eral lie can be of further and greatei
service to the Pacific railroads, whose
passes and stolen millions have been
used to advance the honored gentle
man to his present commanding posi
tion ; and,
" Whekeas, The senator, by innum
erable proclamations, letters and in
terview s, has given the public in gen eral
and presidential candidates in
particular to understand that he car-
I ries the republican party of Nebraska
in his pocket ; and,
"Wiiekeas, In order that this im
pression may continue and the chances
of the senator for gratifying his ambi
tion be not impaired by any act of in
dependence or disloyalty on the part of
the republicans here assembled; and.
"Wiiekeas, We recognize in the
senator a willingness and confidence in
his own ability to go to St. Louis as
the entire sixteen delegates al'owfdln
Nebraska, and regret that the author
ity of this convention will not l ermi: ,
us to thus constitute him: therefore, in
order to effect the same,
"Resolved, That Senator Thruston b
requested to name all the delegates to
tha St. Louis convention we are as
sembled supposedly to select; which
delegates are hereby instructed, and
district delegates are requested to vot
and act in said convention under the
direction and for the glory of the sen
ator. "Resolved, also. That an apology is
due from ex Senator Macderson t
Senator Thurston for perroittii g the
use of his name as presidential candi
date without having first obtained the
consent of the senator, and fcr at
tempting to tisiit p the title of "favorite
Mott," when it is well known that the
name of our favorite is not Chailes.
but Jonn; and,
"Resolved, That we can but admire
and applaud the maguanimity f our
senator in graciously consenting that
the name of exSenator Manderson
may be mentioned at St. Louis at such
time or manner as will injure no one
else ot do him any good."
Maj. McKinley seems to be de
veloping new enemies en every hand.
It is now given out with the grea'e.-i
posit iveness that the A. 1. A. will tiyh
him with great bitterness anil in
sistence. It i3 also known that east
ern monejed interests have had his
record on the money question, anu
live discovered that he is not to be re
lied on. lie has not made a complete
surrender to them, and that what they
demand and they will beat him, it
possible in convention, and if not there
at the polls unless he is the least of
evils. For iustance, the recently
adopted Ohio platform is recognized as
a straddle, ai.d is meaningless unless
it is interpreted by what he has said.
On this point the lollovving passage in
an address at the Lincoln banquet ot
the Ohio republican league at Toledo,
Feb. TJ, 1891, is quoted:
"Mr. Cleveland was detei mined to
contract the circulating medium and
demonetize one of the coins of com
merce, limit the volume of money
among the people, make money scarce
and therefore dear, lie would have
increased the value of money and
diminished the value of everything
else money the master, everything
else its servant. He was not thinking
of 'the poor5 then. He h id left 'their
side.' lie was not 'standing forth in
their defense.' Cheap coats, cheap
labor and dear money; the sponsor and
promoter of thee. professing to stand
guard ovr the welfare of the poor and
lowly! Was there ever more glarinc
inconsistency or reckless assumption?"
Here are phrases that indicate the
true bimetallist, but there' is no real
pledge or declaration. It is enough,
however, to set the Wall strt-et dogs
upon him. 1

authority of congress to abolsb i

these metals. .It was republican lejjis-'

which abolished the free coinage. of 1
the silver dollar, and the same adverse i

Skcuktaky Caklislk was inviul
some time since by a number of per
sons pretending to re-resent the con
federation of labor unions at Chicago,
to address ihem on finances, but
the officials of these unions afterwar J
got together ami unanimously repudi
itedihe invitation, asserting that the
persons named had no authoiity to
make the invitation in their behalf,
ind so notified Carlisle, but that gen
tleman was so anxious to air his views
:tt Chicago that he came on and de
livered his speech Wednesday night,
nevertheless, the hank-rs of Chicano
paying tin expenses. The affair came
near winding up in a mob, as laboring
men were so incensed at his course
that they could hardly be restrained
and kept in order. His speech whs
little less than a series of nssertiot
and well-worn predictions of evil
should silver he given free coinage.
The alT.iir is sure to arouse the people
as against the gold propaganda, and
make a light all the stumper for the
white metal. The irflnence of the ex
ample of M'sssouii democrats is cer
tain t. c.irrv the democracy of Illinois
into the t-ilver coliiicn. Under the
circnmstai.ces if Carlisle had had a
proper self-respect he would not have
