ing classed as "literature" and J "edi

a copy of such an article. The letter aa
ompanying the article says: "It is

ulturafjournuls of the country, and, I
-enclose one to you. It In written es

cated to any other publication. ,".
I shall o course expect no compensa
tion for this article. On the contrary
the executive committee will feel under
great obligations if you can And epuce
for It."
The article explains bow the self ap
polntedcurreney reform commission,
self appointed because the United Htates
8or.ate refused to allow the president to
appoint such a commiseion) expect to
eecure gold standard legislation. They
will draft a bill agreeable to the million
aire bankers and money loaners of the
country and then will unite in forcing
it through Congress. Those members
of Congress that cannot be frightened
- -will be bought. Every pressure known
in politics will be used. Patronage will
be witb-beld from Congressmen and Ken
atora who do not bow to the dictates of
this ftelf-appoiuted gold commission.
From the article sent out it is learned
that every member of the commission is
in sympathy with the aristocracy of the
ast Of the eleven members of the com
mission, three are railroad presidents,
three are benkars, three are
large manufacturers, two are law
yers. Beveral of them are presidents
of several banks security companies,
railroads etc. This is the committee
that is expected to reform the currency
in the interests of the farmers of the
country.
The following is the "tree article."
The currency question will probably
occupy the attention of congress at the
coming session to a considerable extent.
A year ago this question was occupying
the thoughts of every man in the Lnited
States, and its interest has not died by
any means. The abundant crops and
their high prices, and the more settled
condition of the Industrial world has
brought about a period of prosperity
which baa a tendency to make us forget
the weak points in our currency syetem,
but the conditions that occasioned our
difficulties dui ing the post few years still
exist, and should there be a shortage of
crops, and a consequent heavy balance
of trade against us, which would cause a
demnnd for the export of gold, the treas
ury raiders would get in their work as
eaeilv aa they did during the the years
of IM'JJl and IHUI. Congreae will be
urged by the representative of the mon
etary convention, held lu Indianapolis
. Iat January, to take op this question.
J The Indianapolis convention contained
three hundred dlegate, representing
twenty-eight slates, aud the currency

LINCOLN
ASYLUM
What waa Soon by a Party of Via
itorg to the Insti
tution. A MOPEL IN CLEANLINESS
Labor Performed by Inmatai Under
the Direction of
Attendant!.
Credit to Dr. AMtolt.
During the last month a party of Fre
niouters were camping near Lincoln.
Dr. Abbott, of the Lincoln, Insane asy
lum, who bad been a resident of Ire
mont for many years, learning that
they were there, extended them an invi
tat ion to visit the Lincoln asylum. The
purty accepted the Invitation, and Mrs
Hlanon. wife of llv. Hlsson, Methodist
mlnUter lu Fremont, has written an In
terestiug letter describing what they
saw. in liur Kilter ouuiisneo m iu
World-Herald she says;
"The bulldlug is Indm-d an architno-
tural triumph. It Is built of sandstone,
000 feet In length, 44 in width and Is
five stories high, Including the basement
It is approached by picturesque drives
tbrough.it widespread and well kept
lawn, in which luxuriant beds of gera
niums, wealths of pansies, stately can
nas aud hosts of other flowers, beguile
the puaserby into the belief that the
world knows no sorrows, but that all is
as it seems, a veritable bud of roses,
The party was met In the reception
room by the superintendent who paused
a moment before the tour began, to
hrieflvulvea few facts concerning the
dread dieease insanity. A word concern
ing Dr. Abbott mar not be out of place.
He is an old and perhaps of the best
known citizens of Nebraska; has been a
practicing physician; for many years;
has throughout his professional life
made a special study of nervous diseases
In geueral and of insanity In particular.
It is Indeed gratnying to know matin
these days of political preferment, when
special fitness for a position Is not al
ways the movini power, mat in mis
cose the "man" and "position" seem a
perfect fit.
Insanity, we were told, had five gen
eral divisions, of these melancholia, de
lusional and epileptic Insanity were
spoken of more at length. The lust
mentioned class contains the largest
;er centage of Incurables, and Is, there
ore, tbe most lioocleas. In melancholia
the tendency is often toward suicide and
requires the most careful guarding upon
the part of the attendant. There baa
been but one suicide under ths preseut
regime, and that within two weeks, after
assuming the management. The vlo-
tims of deltiNlonal Insanity anora tno
most Interesting- field for amateur inves
tigation. The patient is pro ue to Im
agine himself a personage of great dis
tinction, or oi wealth, irom mis me
French call the disease "U ante aes gran
deurs."
With such explanations in our minds
we entered the wards, first the women's
afterwards the men s. In eucn was a
long ball way. These shone so resplen
deutin their coats of polish that a
housekeetmr was moved; to Inquire the
process. Once or twice a year they are
oiled, and at more frequent intervals are
icone over with parutan and ths daily
woik is to rub them with a huge woolen
roller. One wns exhibited. Its appear
ance suggeati'd a lawn mower done up in
flannels.
On either side of the balls were tbe
bed rooms single beds all In white. A
chair or two aud perhaps a table, com
priced the furniture. Outside the door
are iwrmanent seats, where at night the
clothing Is deposited to prevent means
of suicide, we were told.

400 persons. These must eat, and the

live question right well is It answered,
In the kitchen department there are but
three t enons under pay, the work being
largely done by patients, Dear me; such
an air of bustle, yet of method, and of
order, and such plenty. Unwittingly we
bad stumbled upon the whole bill of
fare. An a ten da nt skillfully lifted the

swung open. Hurvly, we , saw meat

LUbannnny, lor Instance, women were
busy about the great kitchen tuble,
Quantities of potatoes wore ready for
the cooking. W saw platters of tempt

caught the eye of tbe artist of the purty
waa a large dishtian brlgbt as a silver
dollar, and full of sliced cucumbers no,
not full, for tilted Into them wus a chunk
of ice that would put to shams Jts
dlmiuutive cousin which the Ice muu on
his daily rounds leaves at our home

noisaeurs, we critically sniffed at ths
bread, and each woman awarded it the
highest award of merit, "as good as our
own baking."

and we were shown the shelves of jelly aud
of other fruit. A wbite-capfsid chef took
down a gluss for our inspection. It wus
clear, rich and firm.
"Cherry jelly," said be as ho roplaced

"Cherry Jelly," echoed a housekeeper,
why, cherry Juice won't Jell,"
A pitying am-sorry-ior-you look was
the only response.

gravely assured a few of us who loitered

belonged to him, and that all of those
other fellows, including tbe superintend

Dr. Abbott Is pleasod to call the "heart"

RELIEF DEPARTMENT.
Something of the Purposes of the
Burlington Voluntary Relief'
Aseooistlon,
AN INTERESTING CASE.
A Judgment for $5,000 Against
0. S. k Q. Railroad
Reversed. ,
the
A Widow's Claim UefaaUid.
The Ilurlingtou rallgoad operates an
organization known as tbe Burlington
Voluntary lteliuf Association, to protect
Itself from loss in tbe event of tbe killing
or maiming of omployes. Something of
ts manner of operation can be learned
by a review of a caso decided in the
supreme court. The company must
have control of ths court In order to
make the scheme work successfully.
That they have control at the present
time is welt illustrated by the decision In
the case of the C. U. A Q rs Wy mors
6M N. W., 1120. Action was brought
by a widow to recover (or the killing of
her husband. Deceased was a section
boss at Mullen, a small station on tbe
II. & M. Tbe case was tried In Custer
county before Judge Halner and resulted
In a verdict of 15000 for tbe widow.
Company appealed to the supreme court
and had tbe case reversed by Norval
aud Post. Tbe facts are as follows:
"A young lady named Wilgus bad
gone to Mullen that day to take the
train east The train was due at about
half past three A, M. Hbe came to the
station the evening before and aa there
seems to have been no hotel at ths place
the section boss permitted ber to go
to bis bouse, some ton or more rods
from tbo station, and remain there witb
his family until a few minutes before tha
train was due, when be started with tbe
young lady, wbo was a stranger, to
accompany ber to tbe station, iney
passed along a traveled way between
the tracks, which were from 15 to 25
feet apart, at a safe distance from either;
a ti-ain was on the side track near which
thoy were oassing. when In consequence
of a collision witb tbe train on tbe side
track, they were both killed.
A few days after the death of her bus
band the widow was waited upon by an
agent of the U.AM. Hailroad, wbo as
sured ber that as ber. husband was a
member of tbe Hurling ton Voluntary
ltelief Association, she was entitled to a
certain sum from that association. As
she well knew that ber husband bad
been a member of that association for
some time, and that a certain sum bad
been retained each uioutu iroin nis wages
to pay dues, she innocently supposed
that tbo small pittance of $500 was from
the relief fund aud not for tbo loss of ber
husband. It Is stated in tba opinion
that at the time she received tbe nionney
she was required to execute a receipt in
"lull eatlxlaction and discharge of all
claims and demands on account of tbe
causing the death of said deceased, which
now bave, or can bereatter nave,wnetner
against the said relief fund, the aald
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
company or any other association asso
ciated therewith in administration ol tbo
relief department.
Tbe reply is not set out in tbo opinion,
but what purports to be the substance
of it. Hlie pleaded therein "that the re
lease bad been obtained from ber by
threats on the part of tbo company,
that she, and her children would be
turned out of the section bouse unless
she executed it."
The supremo court refused to consider
this iseue upon the alleged ground that
the evidence of such threat bad been ex
cluded, but the queetious excluded are
there presented, and sutiicient is shown
to show tbe nature of ths evidence of
fered and excluded, and it was the duty
of the court to auy whether those were
proper inquiries. It is a well known nils
ul In w that any Instrument obtained
uuder dureas Is void aud ths durwea may
be shown whether nction is brought on
the instrument or it is aet up aa a da.

actor? TOWNK fAVORS THS POPUUiT
Would Work and Vote for tbe Populist
Nominee forjudge la Colorado.
A peculiar political situation exists In
Colorado. Karly la the campaign tbe
sliver republican party named Judge
Uayt as their candidate foraunremo
udge. Hay t has a record of always fav-
orlng bimetallism, Is at present a mem
ber of tbe supreme court where hehaa
g.ven good satisfaction. Shortly after
tbe nomination by the silver republicans
ths Woloott or gold standard republic
cans met In convention and named him
as their cundldate. Judge Uayt ac
cepted tbe nomination regardless of the
protests of the silver republicans wbo
bad nominated him and tbe populists
who were In favor of bis nomination.
Is persistently refused to decline tha
nomination made by tbe gold standard
republicans, and the populists met and .
named a popullat.Judire Uabbert.ua t,hie
candidate. Tbe democrats named a
Cleveland man as their candidate. The
content is between lioyt. nominated bv
both branches of tbo republican party
and Uabbert, the populist nominee. Tbe
populists are all loyal to their nominee.
1 ue silver democrats as a rule will sup-
Krt the populist candidate. The Ilocky
ountaiu News, at first friendly to tbe
republican nominee, has refdsed to snn.
port blin longer since be refused to de
cline tbe gold standard nomination.
Tbe News is therefore supporting tbe
populit candidate. Many of tbe silver .
republicans will vote lor the oooullst
candidate. In , aa Interview recently
published in the Rocky Mountain News.
ex-Congressman Towue, national chair
man of the silver republican party, ad
vises oilver republicans to support Judge
(Jabbert. the oooullst noniineo- Senator
Toller is about the only prominent re
publican wbo is supporting Judge Uayt
sinoo bis refusal to decline tbe gold stan
dard nomination. At first Senator Toi
ler would not support him unless be de
clined the gold standard nomination.
but later be changed front and is now
supporting him. In bis interview con
cerning the situation, Ex-Congress
man 1 owns says.
"The national committee of the silver
republican party nrges upon tbe silver
republicans ofsvery state that no al
liance or co-operation of any sort what
ever bo made with tbo gold republican
party, but that, witb an eye single to
the success of the cause, evorv effort be
consistently made to co-operate with all .
the other forces of blmetalliem."
Then Mr. Towns makes a bold and un
mistakable declaration. It comes, be it
remembered, from the national chair
man of tbo silver republican party. It
is this:
"While I believe that Judge Uayt was
not conscious of any but the best of
motives In accepting that nomination, I .
bavs not tbo align teat hesitation in say
ing that, from my standpoint, he made
a most grave mistake in judgment, and
that, were I a citiin ol Colorado, re
sponding to an obligation ia the pres
ence ol which all peraonal Iriendahlpn are
relatively insignificant, 1 should feel it
my duty to vote and work for ths popu
Hat nominee. He stands, aud ia the only
candidate who does stand squarely com
nutud to the bimetallic proposition
without any entanglements that obscure
tbo principle. Of courae, as tba demo
crats have nominated a ('tevelaud dem
ocrat, as I am Inlormed, that wholly
precludes bia consideration."
Whea everything is considered the In
dicatioua are tbat the poputial nominee
will be alvcted.
