Jeremiah J ouch Im the proprietor of a
largo farm, no large iu fact that lie In

a groat many yearn a largo portion of
bin farm Wa unimproved, only u nmull

nervan t had undcrgoue conniderablo
cliango in lu ter yearn, cnpocially when he
found hluiHiilf getting deeper Into d't.
And In November, 1H00, Jonen nervod
notice on hin old niuiiagern that their
nervieen would not be ruqiiirnd on and
aftr January 7, 1807.
The new man employed by Jonen went
to work with a will. They know Jonen
would watch thorn cIohuIv and notice
any little error they might make ton
fold more readily than be had done with
bin former eorvante. The dlnchargod
nervantn, too, and tholr friend, hlamod
Jonon with being liiconnintont. "wild
eyed" and vlMlonary, and prndlcted all
aorta of trouble Jonen would have with
"green bandit" who kuow nothing about
managing u big farm. Hut the new
men kept Mtoaddy at work and paid no
attention to the calamity ho win of tholr
prodcccRHorn.
An time, wont on the new men (Uncov
ered a great deal of crooked mm wrought
by the old mumtirern, They (Uncovered
a nhortige of one-half a million Iu the
treanury; about 24,000 In the auditor
ofllce, and many minor ehortngon in
other iiintitutioiiN, lu all amounting to
1031,101.35, Then, after they bad run
the farm a year and a half, they nIiowoi)
beyond a doubt that in addition to be
ing dinhonent, the old muiiugem were in
cupablo of conduct ing a big biininenn in
an economical way; that in the varloun
tnntitutlotin on the Jonen farm, tliu old
manager had been extravagant and
IiikI nipiandered 3 1 0,030,32 in the hint
three yearn of their inaniigoiiieiit, and
that the new mauagern had eaved f300,
105, CO in the name liiHlitutioun iu u
little more than a year and a half,
.lone hail for many yearn followed the
plan of hiring bin nervantn for two yearn
at a time, but thin hiring at flrnt wan a
mere matter of lorm; the obi employe
continued to bold their p( nitloim. Hut
now, that the new mauagern had made
Much a favorable record, the (Uncharged
Nervantn and their friend began a groat
bowl, naying it wan not tint good man
agement of thene new nervantn which
brought about nuch a favorable hIiow
iug; that the price of farm product had
gone Up, becauneof tho Ibngloy bill; and
that in ootinequence the revenue of the
Jonen farm were larger tnau ever before.
Thin, they )nUlod, accounted for the re
duction of 1771,800.03 in in t he Jonen
debt dm lug the fimt twenty month of
the new management.
J '.ii t the now auditor knew better. lie
took the old record and made nomo flg
urcH to nliow what wan the real caiine of
the reduction of debt, 'ihene figure
nhowed that tho Jonen Income wan little,
if any, larger under the now a dm lain t ra
tion; but that the Jonen txpofinwi were
fundi lighter. Thin I what the figure
nil owed:
That the total reduction In the Jonen
debt tinder tlm new management wan
1771,800.53, of which 307,03 1.40 wan
4i'iiibniai.' on which had nccrued on
the average about nine percent Interont,
or the mini of 135,780.83, which added
to the face of the noten made about
f 133,418.23 HXtmndod in the cancella
tion of the no ten, A npocial fund wan
not unhid each year to cancel the mort
gage, no thin need not be connidurcd
h"ra.
The flguron further nhowed that under
tho old management Iron) November 30,
1804. to September 1, 1800, 12,100,
211.17 in demand notanhad been innuod;
and that under the new madagemenl
from November, 30,1800, to September
1,1808, only 11,731,01(1.31 had been
innned, tbun nhowing a deereaneof f 131,
50 1.80 in expenditure under the new
management, or almont exactly tho
Maine a the reduction of tho note debt.
Jonen wan antouihlied. Hi buninen
wii no large bo could Dot ay at flint
whether tho reduction of bin debt wa
duo to iucreancd receipt or decreaned
exMriHOH. lie nt tidied over the matter
for Home time. Thono flguron ol t he au
ditor convinced him that the receipt
were about the name an iu former yearn,
but thoexpetinen were very much lighter.
Consequently, every dollar of ibreane iu
exiKiunen meant that much decreae of
debt Jonen wan delighted, Hit naw a
way out of hi diltlctiltioH. Iu November
he nerved notice on bin malinger that
they nhould conntder thcumelvcM re
tained for another two yearn.

The republican pre all over the etate
In undertaking to lay the cnormoa
nlealiug from the nchool fund to the dry
weather of 1801, '05 and '00 and the
election of Cleveland. That game will
hardly work. The "country yokel"
clod hopper and farm hand may be
pretty green, but they are not green
enough to believe nuch a ntory a that.
The truth I that Inntead of dlntrlbutlng
the mcIiooI fund to the children, It wa
distributed to the worker for the repub
loan party all over thtta(e through
theprocen of letting them have the'
nchool land for year free of rent.
When liunnell went out of office 1 looked
over the hook and found the name of
hundred of men who had had thene
land for over five yoarn-Nctne of thorn
ti o yearn, wlthoat paying one cent.
Fvery one of them were republican
worker. Jack McColl, tholr bmtcandl
date for governor, had hold tlioiinatide
of acre firyimr without paying and ha
owed the ntate when L'tielo Jake Wolfe
took charge for rout and Interest, $4,
200.10. Wa that 011 account of the
election of Cleveland? SluM Senator I
John T. Ilrennler, on of lha old time
worker wa holding 0,000 acre of
nchool land which he laid had for year
ami when itunnol walked out, Drennhr
wa found to bo owing the nchool chil
dren of Nebranka 11,328.30. Wuntlmt
ou ai:count of tha tariff, lha dry weather
or bocaune (lovoland wa elected?
Jn tho littlfi book publUhod one year
ago entitled "Nobrunka itodoemed"
there In a lint of republican covering
noven pngn, all of whom had held nchool
land five year and over without pay
ing a cent ol rout. That wa about one
touthofthe lint that I bad takeofroin
the book and could not print tor want""
of apace, 'i lia reanon that the echool
children of Nebraska did not recaiva .
their money wan not on account of the
election of Cleveland, the pannage of the
Willnon bill or the dry weather, but be
naunetbe revenue of the nchool land
went Into tho pocket of the worker of
tlm republican party,
Neither did Cleveland nor the dry
weather catine ntate warrant to go to a
diacount. Republican olflue bolder atola
nearly two million of dollar made up of
fourteen Item, ranging from Hartley'
teal of f r05,700.flfl to an item on the
Intereat account of 114,771.14. They
tola from the ntata until It did not
have the money to pay it bill. Thin in
the reanon that atate warrant were at
a diacount. Now thene Maine thieve
want the Utopia to put them back In
olfica ao tliey can teal noma more. Oh I
but they did live high during thone
time and they would like another
chance. They woa'tgotlt. The "yokel,"
"clodliopwrn," and the "pig In a par.
lor" may be aomewhat green, but they
are not green euouuu touou tulng like
that.
All ths reform cougreanmen are now
nominated. The next delegation in con
grim from Nobrunka will lie nn follown:

DMrict, 0. M. Hitchcock; Third diatriet,
