September i 1897. THE NERBASKA INDEPENDENT CONTROVERSY AT BROWN. Something of Picsident Andrew's Past Record, President Andrews is a man whose in teres t in current questions Is keen and intelligent He is well versed in econo mics and has given very special atten tion to the money question. His posl tion as a student of monetary science wns sufficiently attested by his appoint men tin 1892 by President Harrison as one of the American delegates to the International Monetary Conference. For years Dr. Andrews has been wen Known to h a bimetallism Last year, b owever before the campaign opened, he went abroad for a well-earned vacation, auu has only very recently returned from an of a veor or more. President Andrews has made contributions to this review, and our readers have been well aware of bis belief in the feasibility of the habitation of silver by the great com mercial nations of the world as a full tniim.tr metal. He Ih certainly not ec centric in holding this opinion, inasmuch as It is the view that has been repeatedly taken with absolute unanimity alike by both Great American parties. We have L'mit 14 somewhat constant notice of Piesldeot Andrew's utterances, and If he has ever on any occasion stepped forth to advocate the free and unlimited coin age of silver by the Uulted Statos alone at the ratio of 10 to 1, we have never heard of it. He is reported to have said to somebody In private that be bad be cuiiiA inclined tiersonnlly to the opinion that American free coinage might of It self so affect the market for silver as to keeo mild and silver at a parity. Most men wlin have studied the question as carefully as Dr. Andrews has, certainly think otherwise. Hut, happily, such men are all modest enough to under stand that their opinions are not Infalli ble, and they respect the sincerity and learning of a man like Dr. Andrews, who inuv not agree with them. It must be remembered that Dr. Andrews did not participate in the great political cam paign of lust year, and further that he has not been prorogating any so-cnllod Monetary horesles among the students of Hrown University. The professors at lirowu who teach political; economic, and social science are none of them free silver men; but President Andrews has confidence in them as honest thinkers and good teachers. They in turn have the fulllest confidence In him. What Dr. Andrews' on the silver ques tion muy or rnuy not be Is, after all a wholly Irrelevant matter. The question is whether a board of trustees acts wisely in trying to supervise the religious, po litical, philosophical, economic, or scien tific orthodoxy ol the president and fac ulty of a university. The trustees of Hrown Unlversisy are excellent gentle men who have meant well, but who have made a serious blunder in trying to muz- cle one of the most loyal, fair minded, and sensible men who ever presided over an American college. It has been said that the trustees were afraid that I'resl- dest Andrews' opinions oil the silver question might prevent certain preiu diced persons from giving money for the endowment of the institution. Hut the stories about men ready to give great gifts but for their conscientious oppo sition to the president are of course apochryphal. The greatest mischief that the blunder of the Hrown trustees has accomplished has been the strengthening of an opinion, already too prevalent, that our American colleges and univer sities are becoming so eager to secure large gilts from multi-millionaires that political economy must now be taught with constant reference to the alleged susceptibilities of those persons. In actual truth, the teaching in most of our higher institutions of learning is admirable for its fairness and toler ance. To return to the particular case of Dr. Andrews, the trustees should have remembered that he hi exactly the same kind of mini he was when they selected him with full knowledge of his qualities. They must have known that so forceful and energetic a personality would al ways have opinions of his own, and hnt his opinions could not be expected at every juncture to coincide with those of the members of the corporation. They seem to have been unduly led by the strong will of the Hon. Joseph If. Walker, of Mnsachusette. Mr. Walker is a member of congress and holds tne importniit position of chairman of the committee, on bunking mid currency, Mr. Walker Ih not famous for 11 11 easy toleratioti of opinions different from his own. To express it in the amusing man lier of a private correspondent, "This Itrowu affair In going to be historic it is linger Williams' Imttl" over attain, and it is Massachusetts, in the person of arrogant, blundering Joe Walker, that precipitate the controversy." Of course Mr. Walker Is wholly sincere In his atti tude. I'rom "The Progress of the World," in American Monthly Itwvlow of Iteview for Septellils-r. A NEW APPOINTMENT. Guvino tlulcomb Nsmts Pi of.

'In the history of the politios of Lan caster county there has never been a convention with as much enthusiasm and all around good feeling and satis faction; as pervaded the conventions that met in this city last Wednesday There were three separate and d'stinct convections, populists, democrats and silver republicans. They all met at 10 a. m.at different places in the city, Fncb effected its temporary organization be fore tne noon Hour and appointed acorn mittee of seven on conference, and ad journed until 1:80 p. in, The three con ference committees met during the re cess and agreed upon the division of the positions on the ticket. VI tne nine po sitions, four were given to the populists, three to the democrats and two to the silver republicans. When the commit tees returned to their respective convex tlous and made their report It was adopted in each case without a dissent ing vote, F.uch convention theu pro ceeded to nil the positions assigned to it. In each case the candidates named by one convention were also nominated by the other two conventions. The name of each candidate will appear throe times on the official ballot once In the populist ticket, once In the demo cratic ticket and also in the silver re publican ticket. The following were the candidates named: Treasurer (nop) , J, F. Bishop Kheriff (dem) Itobert Mill one Clerk (pop) H. F. Haer Judge (sil rep) .,.C. B, Itainbolt Register of deeds (dem)..l'aul 11.

"Whenever a piece of paper money be comes solid or torn It may be presented to the United States' Treasury and re deemed. Sooner or later every note that circulates among the people be comes unfit for further service, for It is bound to become dirty or mutilated by constant handling, and the United States government stands ready to give the bolder of such a note a new note In ex change for it; or in other words, the gov ernment win redeem it. "The majority of the clerks employed In this Important department of the gov eramentar women, many of whom are the most expert money counters and counterfeit detectors in the world. In fact, only experts can properly per forin the work that is required; for not only, must the soiled and mutilated be accurately and rapidly counted, but ail counterfeit notes must be detected and thrown out. When we consider that some counterfeiters can so cleverly Imi tate genuine money that their spurious notes will circulate through the country without detection, and are not discov ered until they are finally turned Into the Treasury, some idea of the proficiency of these experts can be gained, especially when we bear in mind that the)) notes are often so worn that the imprint on tbem can scarcelly be deciphered. It not infrequently happens that these bad notes are detected simply by the fuel of them, which, in some caxes is the only way of discovering the fraud; for while a counterfeiter may occasionally succeed in so (wrfeclly imitating the design of a note as to mislead even an expert, It is next to impossible for him to counter feit the paper used by the government.

Concurrently we denouuce that spirit of baseness that causes mauy of our higher institutions of learning to crucify the cause of free thought and speech, in hopes of financial gain thereby. Wecon shier such apprehension of free stioeoh, whether purchased or imposed Inimical to the interest of sueh institution, a menace to the federal common wealth, aud an outrage upon the virtue and freedom of higher education. We extend our sympathy to the thou sands of mine, tuctory and skilled opera tions of the east that are forced from employment on account of reduction of wuKee, closing of mills and factories, es tieeiully those who were forced and mis fed to -vote upon themselves the gold standard and tariff robbery that proves already to disfavor the laboror and pro ducer and to favor trusts, corporate monopoly anu bonded wealth. we sympathize with the employes of street railways in general, mid those of Chieagoin particular, In their reduction of wages from 50 to '20 per cent. Kxperi ence is a wise teacher. We sympathize with the 150.000 sold and silver miners now out of employ ment in order to maintain theslniile gold standard. Whereas, the reform parties of Nebras ka are the powers aud parties of action, and not of futile aud betrayed promise, that we invite and recount their hearty cooperation toward the election of hon est and competent officials In township, county, state and nation, and Whereas, the republican party Is the party of trusts, monopolies, aud default ing and incompetent officials and under its partisanship Nebraska has been rob bed 01 millions of dollars, and Whereas, the officials elected by the People's Independent nnd the Democrat ic parties have proven by law such defal cations and punished the defaulters by incarceration In prison; therefore be it further Kesolved. that we commend the action of our present state officials, recommend them lor a second term In office, and recommend said defaulters for a second term in prison. Oko Hanskn. Chairman Com. on Kesolutlons, ThelJsstlnKS Insane Asvlnm. Two classes of people are interested in an Insane asylum. One is that class who may have friends there, and the other class are those who pay the taxes to curry ou these charitable Institutions. The first wish to know something of the management, methods and ability of those who have their friends In charge, and to them 1 address myself first. The superintendent. Itobert Damerell. M. !., 1. nd the physician, J. T. Steele, M. I)., are both graduates of the Hush Medical college of Chicago, than which there is no better in this country. This of itself is evidence of their ability. One needs but to visit the Institution for a day or two to understand the care and professional interest these men take In the patients, visiting them regularly each day and knowing each hour of the night by a system of reports from the emcient night watcher how each patient rests. While there may be other Insti tutions who have men just as compe tent as these two gentlemen, there are none who have any better. Governor Holcomb chose wisely when be pu the Institution Into their hands. In the mrsonage of the matron Miss Jennie Larson, one finds an accomplished lady and a person who Is well outl ined tor the work, HNe Knows lull well the needs of the patients. She has the full confidence of all the employees. In the various wards will be found competent young men and Indies who have the immediate charge of the patients tor twenty-two hours of each day. I wish to emphasize what I said in a former letter that these attendants di not. receive a just compensation for the work the) do why they do not gt as much as a good grocery clerk receives for ten hours work yet there are men in the reform party that talk long and loud for labor, yet. when tiiev go to the legis lat lire they voto to reduce the wages ol these employee. 1 would siienk secondly to the tat payer and assure him that la Mr. A.

IkiswulM brought about ss a result of the two conventions held here lost Saturday by the populists and democrats. The pop ulist convention was presided over bv Mr. S. Hosterman, who made one of the lairest presiding officers we have seen for mauy a day, while the Hon. John Schull acted as secretary. At the democratic convention Mr. T. Connor, who has always been in , the front ranks of the democrntio party, was chairman, and Thos, (Jilla.11 was sec retary. The two conventions wore held separately except on the nomination of sheriff, as there were several candidates I11 each party wanting this office, they concluded here to join forces and let the best man win out. This was a fine con test; ballot after ballot was taken, but finally Frank Cole, a populist, won out by a majority of one over bis democratic opponent, C. 0. Snow. Th" best of feel lug prevailed and the officers will be elected: Treasurer, A. M. F.ngler; judge, H. A. Lambert; clerk, 11, 14, Ferry; county superintendent, W, C. Parriott, SMALL HAPPKNINOS, W, J, Dry an will make eleven seeches In Iowa during the coining campaign.

President McKlnley's Monetary Com mission, which has already cost the tax payers of this country $1 00,000, is be Ing severely criticised aud ridiculed by the Kiigheu Press. The W, C, T.

The Texas State Orange accomplished much good work at Its recent session The.plan previously referred to In these columns, or urging the building of North nnd South railroad by the state was fully exploited. The proposition Is for the state to tise a portion of the school fund and employ convict labor to build such a road. It Is to be owned and operated by the slate and rates are to tie so low as to relieve the farmers from the present shipping rates which they re gard as ruinous. The grangers charge the railroad commissioners with having defrauded the tax payers out of 1250. 000 during ths current year. Hirer Im provement by the state was also urged by one speaker at the grange meeting. NEW INVENTIONS.

Overproduction of Hogs.-We heard a prominent Indiana breeder say not long ago that hog cholera last season was a blessing in disguise. "If all those hogs had lived, and the uauaj proportion of them bred," said hn, "you could walk from one end of the country to the other on the backs of bogs next full." He lost several thou sand dollars through the disease, but be believes his loss from depredated values would have been about the same had there been no disease In tho country. While the hog rightly managed may be made one of the farmers' most certain sources ot profit, there Is no other stock that will in- crease so fast, and with which he Is so likely to bmome oversupplled. There Is reason In all things-even lu the rcarlug of swlne.-Aiu. Swlr.s lliecdi'i. Small Florks of Sheep.-Sheep are the most profitable stock on the farm.
