THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT January 16, 189 y JOHN SHERMAN'S CUNNING How the Sly Old Deceiver Manipa Uted the English Lanufce- It was often remarked on the floor of tit senate during the silver session that any financial proposition, from the un limited issue of paper money to the de struction of aii legal tender money, could bs proved to be "sound finance" by extracts from the speeches of John Sher man. He made a speech of that charac ter ta the senate the other day. Hon. EL F. Bartine makes a running comment 00 one sentence in that speech which is picy reading. After quoting the sen tence in full, he quotes it again, inter Jocting a few remarks as he goes along, Iter the following fashion: '' "Our system, when cured of a few de lects," (What defects?) "developed by time," (how?) "founded upon the bime tallic coinage of gold and silver," (what does be mean by bimetallic coinage?) maintained at par with each other, (how?) "with free national banks estab lished in every city or town of import ance in the United States," (What does be mean by "free?" Does he mean exempt from taxation?) "issuing their notes, se cured beyond doubt by United States bonds or some equivalent security," (Where are they to get the bonds, and what would be equivalent security?) "re deemable on demand in United States notes," (What kind of notes?) "and the issue of an amount of United States notes and treasury notes equal to the amouut outstanding," (What distinc tion does he make between future issues of United States notes and treasury notes? Does he mean to add to what we have, an equal amount, or does he merely in tend to keep them at the present limit?) "with provision for a ratable increase with the increase of population," (How? Is he really getting on the Peoples' Party platform, or is he just talking?) "always redeemable in coin," (What kind of coin?) "supported by an ample reserve of coin in the treasury," What kind of coin and bow is the reserve to be provided?) : "such a system" (what sys tem?) "would make our money current in commercial circles in every land and clime," (that is rhetorical, but bow does he expect to get our paper into circula tion abroad?) "better than the best that now exists in Europe," (What does he meau by "better"? Does he mean dearer of greater purchasing power? He has believe that the always protested to "dearest" money is t y is the "best,' ) "better than that of Great Britain, which now holds the purse strings of the world." Aud it may be added very largely by Mr. Sherman's help. But what does the om nibus proposition mean? That is the question. No Delphian oracle ever uttered a pro phesy more uncertain and ambiguous than the financial philosophy which thus fell from the lips of the great monetary leader of the republican party. No mat ter what he may do during the next five years, Mr. Sherman can point to that passage in justification. , Our aim from now until February, 1st . shall be not totnuke but to get money. We will therefore sell Suits & Coats at un ' precedented low prices. Agriculturalists visiting Lincoln the coining week will, we believe, save money by trading with us. Paine, Warfel & Bumstead.

A SONQ FOR THE NEW YEAR THAT GREAT WAVE It ' Overtakes Another Large Firm In Lincoln Tuesday of this week the largest furni ture house in Lincoln was closed up un der chattel mortgage by the First Na tional Bank. The firm was Greutter & Joers, who had been in business for a long time and had always been consid ered one of the strongest and most re liable firms in the city. A few years ago they invested in a train load of furuiture, made a grand parade through the streets, and began business in their own elegant building, which is as nice as any in the city, six stories high, 75x90 feet. When men with the financial standing and public confidence that these men en Joyed cannot make a Buccess in business there must be something radically wrong with the financial condition of the country.

Wednesday morning the State Journal printed the following outrageous para graph: "Molly King, who runs a house in the reservation, cume to the police station last night aud applied for a warrant against J. 11. Jones and William Decb. She charged them with kicking in her door and otherwise destroying her prop erty and peace of mind." The matter was brought to attention of the Independent just as it was going to press. Mr. Jones said over the tele phone that he was not in the city on that niRht, and the story was manufac tured out of whole cloth. It will be noticed that the only foundation for the story is the unsupposed word of a noto rious prostitute, whose oath has been refused time and again in the courts of Lincoln. The Merchants Hotel Restaurent at the corner of P & 12th st, some time since advertised ten cent meals. Within a few days new tables have to be put in once more, waiters hired, for every one that comes once, comes ugain when they saw the clean table linens, white napkins, and abundant food, all for ten cents. There never was such a meal with such service put up for ten cents before. Mr. N. 0.
