The Buffalo Kreniug Times Is "still
on deck and steadily gaining
popularity. It was the only metropol

supported Bryan. Farmers', begin to
see that their luterests demand there
should be more money and tbatit should
take less produce to buy It, so debts and
taxes could be paid more easily.
"Now" say the gold bug papers, "as
soon as peace with Hpaln Is a settled
certainty, and trade is opeped with
Cuba, I'orto Itico, and the Philippine
islands, prosperity will down upon this
country and we will have such a rush
of business us will swamp the cheap

us for two years that prosperity was
here under full sail, now It Is coming

And yet every goldbug swears it is over
production that makes the price of
wheat so low.
The canal steal in the state of New

can control the federal courts. It is
time for the people to be awake in fnsur
ance matters. The business hue grown
to enormous proportions. It Is des
tined to grow to still greater size and

WHAT A PROTOCOL IS.
A Booth Draft of tb Treaty ol
Pnaee.
WiSHiNOTON, Aug. 11. A protocol,
as issued In diplomatic language, is
the rough draft or preliminary outline
of diplomatic transactions. After the
adoption of a protocol final negotia
tions consist only of details and must
be restricted to the terms brought in
by the protocol.
A protocol may also bo a diplomatic
document eigucd by friendly powen
to secure certain diplomatic ends by
peaceful means.
Thus, when Greece was recognized
by the powers early In the century,
protocol was signed by England,
France and Russia setting forth the
fact of recognition. Kuch a procedun
also preceded the recognition of thi
German empire in 1871.

EXPRESS AND TELEGRAPH.
A. lUnatloa That Is Stopld and Absurd
Prolooged bj Urlbary and Corruption.
The Sun very properly applauds "Th
Fidelity of Onr Postal Service," point
ing out that though the number of let
ters bandied by the United States post-,
office "approximates 8,000,000,000, the
complaints of erroneous, beluted or im
perfect dolivory, or of nondelivery
amount in a year to only about 80,000,
or one compluint in 100,000 of the let
ters posted."
This and more of equally flattering
import The Sun prints as evidunoo of
the great success with which the gov
ernment machinery may be applied to
the business of transmitting and deliv
ering letters and parcels of a certain
class.
Why not parrels of all classes? What
is there in the express business exoept
Senator Piatt to make impossible or
unwise its assumption by the govern
ment? The extortionate prices exacted
by the express companies do not imply
or secure better service than the govern
ment gives for a trifle. The express par
cel sent to Chicago at a cost of 45 cents
is neither more certain nor more speedy
in reaching its destination than the
penny post cord. Indeed, everybody
knows that time and again the express
companies, being puzzled by an incom
plete or incorrect address, mail a post
oard to tbnt address, with the usual re
sult of finding tho person sought. They
nse the chcup postal facilities to rouko
effective their expensive but indifferent
express system.
What is true of tbo express business
is equally true of tbo telegraphs. High
charges and slipshod service are the
characteristics of the telegraph business
under the much vaunted system of "in
dividual enterprise." For a special 10
oent stamp the government will send
oat an intelligent man to deliver your
letter. For thrice as much the telegraph
companies intrust your dispatch to a
careless urchin and not even guarantee
to deliver tbo same message you send
unless you pay extra to have it repeated
to yon.
Nothing but corruption and bribery
baa delayed so long the incorporation of
telegraph and parcels post system in
onr postofflce department There is no
nse mincing words. Bribery and cor
ruption, employed by monopolists cor
porations for their own protection, have
prolonged a situation which is stupid
and absurd. New York Journal.
MUNICIPAL RAILWAYS.
Bw Glasgow Bs Fin fltrt Car Barrio
and Low Itata of Vara.
The fourth annual report of the Glas
gow tramways department, which cov
ers the 12 months ending May 81 last,
shows tho continued progress of this fa
mous municipal enterprise. The gross
profits have increased to 100, Bli8
(fC02,600). To appreciate fully the
profitable character of the Glasgow
municipal tramways it should be remem
bered that the policy of tho department
is not to accumulate profits in aid of
rates, but to build up a fine service, both
cheap and efficient
It meets the interest (13,497) on the
capital and sinking fund charges (11,
076), and in addition bas this year set
aside tho large sum of 22,084 ($113,
420) for depreciation, which is written
off capital.
There still remains a net surplus of
89,887 (f 190, 035), which, added to the
payment to the common good fund,
would be sufficient to pay a dividend of
8 per cent on the capital invented.
Every year shows a great addition to
tbo number of paHHongers curried. Dur
ing the last 12 months the total number
was 100,844,437, which is almost dou
ble the number carried the first year of
municipal working.
The new competition of underground
railways and subways in Uluxgow bas
bad no effect iu arresting the develop
ment of the tramways, which show an
increased revenue almost every week
throughout the whole year.
The report shows the increasing popu
larity of the halfpenny (1 cent) fares.
Over 80 per cent of the tickets issued
are for halfpenny fares, and the average
price obtained is only about 8 farthings
1K cents).
The corporation is carrying out very
important extensions, runniug Its lines
into suburbs. It is also pushing forward
with iu elcctrio equipment of tha
Spriugburn and Mitchell street route.
Arrangements are also being made to
equip soother lino, and the cars are
now being built in corporation work

STATE PENITENTIARY.
(Coutinued From First Page.)
publicans in 1877 bartered away for
even less than the usual mess of pottage.
How manifestly incapable of manag
ing the state's affairs, to say nothing of
dowuright dishonesty, the republican
party of Nebraska may justly be
charged with, is nowhere more strik
ing exempnlied than in the history of
ths Nebraska State Penitentiary. The
followiug tables show the cost by years
for maintenance of Nebraska's criminals
from January 1, 1800, to May 31, 1808,
divided Into two periods, the first being
under republican control and the latter
under demo-pop management:
Year. No. of convicts. Cost.
180 877 6R.34l.2l
18t 878 66,(178.81
180'J 376 66,611.68
1893 8i7 48.878.05
1804 aa 48,185 ca
1896 to Aug 8 825 80,1 50.60
Total cost for 3,046 days f 293(085 44
From the above table we see that
under republican rule, and republican
laws, there was an average daily cost of
1143.01 for maintaining a daily aver
age of 850 convicts or a cost of a trifle
more tbau 41 cents per convict per day.
Year. No. of convicts. Cost.
1805 from Aug 8 825 $12,165.25
1896 to Nov 80 803 81,186.17
18U7toNov80 819 23,009.99
189toMay81 827 280.98
Total cost for 1,028 days...! 06,032 89
Under demo-pop management there
was a daily average cost off 04. 82 for
maintaining a daily average of 819 con
victs, or a cost of 20.8 cents per convict
per day less than half what it cost
under republican misrule.
Let us make a few comparisons: Sup
pose the republican purty had been in
control during the period Irom August
8, 1895, (the day the I (organ contract
expired) to May 81, 1898; aud suppi se
that public opinion bad not forced that
party to make some attempt to undo
the wrong it had committed away back
in 1887 and had continued to do for
nearly eighteen years: Ths cost would
have been been $147,032.04, it did cost
$06,632.05, showing a saving of $80,
999.05 for 1,028 days.
Suppose the populists had boon in con
trol liom January 1, 1890, to August 8,
1895: The cost would have been $182,
651.78, it did cost $293,685.83, show
ing a loss of $161,1 33.55 for 2,045 days.
The whole striod of 8,073 days, from
January 1,1890, to Muy 31, 1898,
under the republican regime would have
cost $441,317.37 and under populist
control the cost would have been $199,
184.17, or a gain of $242,183.20.
These figures are, of course, specula
tive, but our only way of judging the
future is by the past, and there is is not
a particle of doubt that with full control
the populists and democrats would
have done much better than these
figures indicate.
Governor Holcomb'a selection of lion.
Oaorge W. Leidigh as warden of the pen
itentiary bus not only reflected great
credit upon both, but has proven of
great financial benefit to the state. The
prinou is a model of neatness, the prison
ers well-fed, healthy and as contented as
could be expected. No improvement is
too big for Warden Leidigb to under
take, and no Item of expense is too small
to escape his notice. As an example of
bow closely he looks after the small
items, I would say that recently he sold
upwards of $60 worth of bones, consist
ing wholly of scraps of bones taken from
the meat used in boarding the convicts.
Other wardens may have done similar
acts, but none of the money ever reached
the state treasury.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
The following is a review of the re
ceipts, sales and general coudition of the
live stock market at South Omaha for
the week ending August 0.
tattle The receipts today were only
thirty-seveu loads, which was quite
proper for a Saturday's run at a great
market, but it was in reality unusually
small. A week ago fifty-nine cars ar
rived at this point; two weeks ago, 48,
and the same number three weeks ago.
In June the Saturday's receipts of cattle
averaged double what they were today.
Not only were the total receipts small
but of the cattle here fourteen cars were
consigned direct to packers so that there
were only about fifteen cars ol lut steers
and somet hing like five cars of cow stuff
on sale, The balance of the receipts
consisted of odds and ends, stockers.
feeders, etc. The market, as compared
with yesterday, was without cbange ana
was lacking in interesting or new fea
tures. The market on killing cattle of all
kinds bos had a lower tendency this
week though the loss is not great. Oood
dry lot cattle, such as are selling at
4.80 up to 5.40, are CtftlOo lower
tbau a week ago, and the medium to
common grades, which are stilling at
S1.2.r)((j$4.7(, are 10c aud some would
say lfiu lower than a week ago. It will
be remembered, however, tuat tney too
off a great deal on the common and
half fat steers last week, and for that
reason that kind of cattle has not suf
fered so very much more decline this
week than the better cattle.
Wliile beef cattle aie lower, It is an In
disputable fact that these cattle are
selling higher here, in proportion, than
at other points. Shippers have been un
able to 0erate on the market lor some
time past on this account, and cattle
that have been forwarded in first bands
have not done thir owners any good.
It is understood that one buncn that
went through brought only 5c more
than was offered for them here, while
another bunch of good stuff lost heavily.
The fact is that this market is too high,
and the only reuson that it holds up so
well appears to be due to the light re
ceipts, which are hardly up to the re
quirements of local packers.
Cows and heilers have been on the
down grade for some days past. As
high ns 4.85 was paid duriug the week
for western dry lot heilers, which was
the high price rf th season, but tbey
were eitra good stuff. The general rnn
Of medium to common cows and heifers
ar all the way from KKfj'JOo lower than
they wer last week, owing to the com
petition from grass cattle. With the
packers able to bring in Texas grass
cattle from Kansa City at f.'l.OO, it s
hardly reasonable to ex itect common to
medium cow stuff to B.-II at vory fancy
pri'vs.
The supply of stockers and feedi-r Is
still small, and th demand Is about
equal to ths supply. For that rasou
tellers nave soiu a im tin ouncr mis
wfk. The leeling, howevr, is very
ttwak, aud speculators are all eipting
Inwrr prieni, aud arttrmrly cautious.
Th general Idling I that lower price
will prevail, aud tlnrcan lt no doubt
that with III prsstent staisol Ihe market

1217 O ST., LINCOLN, NEB.
the receipts were again heavy, 10,177
being the number for that day. Tbey
commenced taking off on Tuesday when
ths market lost 6c. On Wednesday,
f10o more was taken off and on
Thursday a shade to fie. On Thursday
the receipts dropped down to 7,840
from 10,177 on Wednesday, and on Fri
day only 6,210 head were received fhow
ing that the country bas no idea of
making any material concessions from
prevailing prices in or to sell tbelr bogs.
As a result of the light receipts on
Thursday and Friday the market ad
vanced on Friday and at the close of the
week is 2o lower than on Monday, and
2o higher than the close of the previous
week. The hogs arriving at this point
average very good and the range Jn
prices is very narrow.
Sheep There were no fresh receipts of
sheep today to make a test of the
market.
Hheep have been in good demand all
this week, but the trouble has been that
practically everything received has been
of one kind, that is heavy western sheep.
The buyers would like all kinds, bub
thev have been unable to secure them
and have bad to make the best of the .
situation. For good sheep prices are
probably 1015c lower than last week,
while common kinds might show still
more loss.
