The fight In the house on the sundry civil bill and the Sherman bond amendment is cer tain to be a hot one. The silver men in the house to-day began filibustering against the senate amendments to the sundry civil appro priation bilL Though the prediction has not been made in open house, the feeling is general among members that the bill will fail to pass and that this trill lead to an extra session. - Mr. Holman's cloture resolution pro viding for but fou' hours debate has angered the silver men exceedingly. Mr. Bland alone wants a whole day. Mr. IMerce is filibustering against anything and everything to stave off the evil hour and Mr. Hatch, enraged at his failure to force the anti-options bill through, snaps at everything. The bill will have to be considered in committee of the whole and when it is taken up if the opposition is not strong enough to defeat it on a square yote, they will filibuster till the end of the session. Mr. Simpson is one of the leaders of the filibustering movement. When it was suggested to him that the course resolved upon will prevent the open ing of the Cherokee strip and the pas sage of important world's fair legisla tion, he answered that he cared noth ing for the comments of the plutocratic press. Meanwhile the condition of the treasury gives promise that when Mr. Foster turns it over to Mr. Carlisle there will not be $1 of free gold in it At the close of business yesterday there was but $4,200,01)0, and it was aid to-day that 83,000,000 of that had been engaged for shipment. Secretary Foster was before the ways and means committee of the house in secret session for two hours to-day, explaining the condition of the treasury. He declared that there was no occasion for fear of a bankrupt treasury, but admitted that the situa tion was one demanding serious con sideration and that his estimates of available cash in the treasuiy at the close of the present fiscal year would need to be scaled down to some extent. He thought there would be a surplus n the treasury July 1 next of nearly $17,000,000. His estimate in the report heretofore sent to the committee on the condition of the treasury fixed the surpluBat 820,000,000. The probabilities for the fiscal year 1894 were that in the absence of some change in the situation there would be a deficit Speaking of the frequently repeated assertion that the treasury was now really bankrupt, Mr. Foster said: "Once in awhile, when largr requisi tions have come in on top of t'wth other and I did not want to pay them because we would have to put out gold, which might be rather low at that time, we wpuld potter along for a day or two and then some fellow would say the treasury was bankrupt and all that sort of thing." Mr. Foster said that all his state ments were based on a continuation of the pi-esent rate of taxation; if there were a change, of course his estimates would not stand. He believed that $50,000,000 more revenue should be raised and put into the treasury in or der to make everything safe and the conditions favorable for the proper administration of the affairs of the government. He offered no sugges tion as to whether this amount should be raised by a loan or by additional taxation. If he were to have been continued in the office of secretary of the treasury he would like to have 850,000,000 added to the balance, 825,000,000 of which he would tase to maintain the gold reserve, as he believed the. treasury would be the better for having on hand 8125,000,000 of gold. There would be no difficulty "In trettintr plenty of gold if he had the inonev to spare, i Nothing was said about the cause of the present exports of gold or the probabilities of future gold shipments, but he said that he had expected its outflow. In explanation of the reduction In his estimated surplus for the close of the current fiscal year, Mr. Foster said that the payment of the Choctaw claim had not been estimated when he placed the surplus at 820,000,000. Its payment would take about 83,000,000. The receipts had also fallen somewhat below his estimates and at the close of he fiscal year wouM probably be less than he had estimated.

The presi dent trranted a commutation ol sen tence to May 1 to Edward L. Ilarper, ex-president of the Fidelity National bank of Cincinnati, who was convicted of a violation of the .federal banking laws and sentenced December 2, 1887, to ten years imprisonment in the Ohio prison. Extra Session of the Senate Called!' Washington, Feb. 27. The presi dent has issued a proclamation con vening the senate in extra session March 4 to confirm Cleveland's cabinet and other appointments. A Batch of Itllls. Lincoln, Feb. 27. The house held a session Saturday and the chap lain reminded the various members that it was the last day for introduction of bills and asked that wisdom be given to decide on the best Rhodes offered a resolution calling for a committee of five to be appointed to investigate the Lincoln asylum, with power to send for persons and papers. The resolution was called out by a letter published In an Omaha paper, purporting to come from a woman who appeals over a nom de plume for an investigation of "this living hell." The writer declares it a "prison pen for the incarcernation of women whose libertine husbands wish to aeprive them of their liberty." There solution was adopted, and Rhodes, Jen sen, Johnson of Hall, Ellis and Nelson were appointed to take a peep into the hades described. The committee on finance was given authority to visit the Hastings asylum. Speaker Gaffin appointed Higgins, Kessler and Uerdes as a committee to whom the question of appropriating several thousand dollars for election con test expenses be referred. Bills on third reading was an order of business which was passed over owing to the absence of so many members. In lieu thereof the house went into com mittee of the whole for consideration of bills on general file. ( Horst's bill; house roll No. 73, to pro vide that actions on promissory notes must be brought in the county where one or more of the original makers re side or may be summoned, was recom mended for passage. Howe's bill, house roll No. 1, an amendment to the constitution provid ing for investment of the permanent school fund in school district bonds, was reported with a slight amendment and recommended for passage. House roll No. 89, by Woods, giving electors the privilege of expressing their wishes at the next general election on a proposition for a constitutional conven tion, was recommended for passage. , .. House roll No. 153, by McKesson,' setting aside one acre of ground in Wyuka cemetery at Lincoln as a burial place for deceased union soldiers, was also recommended for passage. House roll No. 168, by Iliggins, to limit jurisdiction of a justice of peace to the townships wherein he resides, was considered. Jensen called attention to the wording and pointed out that to reach the object desired the bill must say that suit shall be commenced against a person only in the township, wherein such person resides. The bill was recommitted. House roll No. 09, by Oakley, placing express companies under control of the state board of transportation was laid over. House roll 181 by Oakley was freely discussed. The bill was supported by Oakley, who explained that coal com- parties, the Colorado and Rock Springs, treat their coal as advance charges, and! railroads will not deliver until not only the cost of coal is paid in advance, but afoo freight charges are forthcoming, when in fact the coal is often short in weight The bill provides that railroads shall not act as agents for coal com; a iea. The bill was recommended to pass. Bribery and "Squealing;. A bill introduced by Rhodes, house roll No. 181, is of peculiar interest at this time, because it relates to the crime of bribery. Ihe bill makes two changes in the present law. The first includes ex ecutive officers in the list of victims of ducks and jakes, but the other and more important change makes it possible to convict only one person, either the one receiving a bribe or the one offering boodle. In deciding this matter of con viction it rests with the rapidity with which one or the other gets into court and squeals on tlie other. The 6quealer in all cases is to go free. Rhodes supported the bill, ui course that was all right, but when Soderman advocated its passage a broad smile spread around the circle. Sheridan and felton did not express any opinion in regard to the justness of the bill. They kept still. Felton did not even mention the incident earlv in the session when he was approached, as he Bays, and had a chance to get f 1,000, The bill was recommended to pass. Nelson s bill, house roll No. 83, ap propriating $3,000 to George Mawer of V I. i i v; i,.,i. u i: f i trilluilL, wuu iubii iita ucauuii eta a man- tia man in the Indian uprising on the northern border, was recommended for passage. Burns' bill, No. 209, to prevent cruelty to animals by giving officers or agents of the Nebraska humane society power to arrest violators, was discussed. Rhodes got funny and wanted to know whether it applied to members of the legislature. Howe volunteered the infor mation that it applied only to hqrses not asses. Ihen Rhodes sat down. Stevens opposed the bill and in this he was almost alone. The bill was then recommended for passage, the com mittee arose and its report was accep ted. A Manlao Captured. Chadrun, Neb., Feb. 27, Saturday A raving maniao giving the name of Edward Brice was placed in jail here to day awaiting identification. When dis covered he was engaged in digging with both hands and feet into the side of a clay bank. His shoes were worn out and hia hands were badly lacerated by the stony ground. He gave as a reason for his search that his wife and children were buried in the bank and that he would have to find them and also that he must kill several people in order to be even. Be was an entire stranger here and there was nothing about him to aid in identification except pass issued by N. E. Wormley, a Lin coln, Neb., employment agent, giving the date Feb. 14 and the train as No. 41, by which it is supposed he was sent to work on the B. & M. in Wyoming. His story is that his father's name T. A. Brice, living near Fulton. 111., and that his uncles live at Lyons, 111. As to how he got from Crawford, Neb., to a point nine miles west of Chadron, a dis tance of . thirty miles, he oannot say. but he was seen at dif ferent points walking. The authorities have wired the addresses given, but have small hopes of hearing from the parties, as his talk is incoherent and contradictory. He is about five feet eieht inches in height of light complex ion, blue eyes, and weighs about one hundred and seventv-nve pounds, He was neatly dressed and presents a good appearance. . , AN INVISIBLE REALITY. Advanced. Ideas Bf gardieg the Satire of Money- Matter sod Spirit, axd Their Union. Oil KOIEY BE EEEN ABD FELT? An Interesting Letter on sn Interesting by an Entertaining Writer. RC8HVILL, Neb., Feb. 20, 1893. Editob Alliance-Independent: Some time ago you gave your readers my article "What is Money?" I now beg space for the following notes and comments: I will be as brief as my capacity to "boil down" makes possible, as J know your columns are valuable. Every intelligent person, especially a reformer knows how exceedingly diffi cult, and how nearly impossible it has been, and still is, for promulgators of any new theory or doctrine, however sousd or useful it may prove to be, to get the world to practically acknow ledge its worth. Christ, Galileo, Columbus among others are examples. The "popular" mind runs in grooves. A strange thing is apt to seem "ridicu lous" to (almost) everybody. And whs doesn't know that "truth is stranger than fiction?" All advanced thinkers, theorists, inno vators and reformers have realized the truth of these lines. "He Is thought a knave or fool Or bigot plotting crime, Who for the advancement of his raca . Is wiser than his time." The world has frequently been "con- fustd" by the sudden announcement of fine-spun" theories and historical doc trines; but the world's paroxysms on account thereof were not often the fault of the said theories and doctrines. l'eoole in general and some indivi duals in particular are a good deal slow er in confession than in conviction. Of this truth you yourself have daily proof and it is precisely because of this fact that political asd other reiorms are so hard to accomplish. The above remarks are prefatory to what I want to say on the regular ques tion to which I now come. Language is a system of relative words or terms, every member relating to something not one of which however is itself that something. Our werd 'money" relates to a thing, and is not itself that thing. It doesn't matter bo long as the thing to which it relates or to which we refer, is understood. Ths thing "money" is the same the world over, but the relative wora or name re lating to it differs among different peo ple. The Sioux Indians some oi wnom pass th writer's house almost daily, call money by the relative name, muzzahscow". Germans use the word gelt" as their term refering to money, and bo on through nations, bo much for "definitions" of anything. A "po tent" and "Invisible reality" is evi dently a thing (of some kind) different from the various relative names or terms used in speaking about or refer ing to it. Now what is the tiling liseiir wen, we will eay that a hard wind is a "po tent" and invisible reality. A rifle ball shot from a rifle while it is fly ing unseen through the air is a potent and invisible reality. The thing called life (of man or boast) is a potent and in visible reality. A man or norse wnicn i a thing, is composed of two thipgs united; one is matuir and the other life or sDirit. Both are realities whether separate or united, xne matter or nesn is a vi.ible reality. The life or spirit is an invisible reality; and whatever potency" the man or horse has, as such, he gets from the Invisible lire or spirit element bis "intangible essence" part, and not irom tne visiDie or mate rial part. A dead norse was never Known to kick an v body. Now when a horse does kick we naturally .or customarily say, and it is "proper" to say, "the horse kicked." But which really did me kick ing, the yisib.e reality or the invisible reality? We can easily see mat me visible reality of the horse taken alone Is a dead horse, perfectly impotent, and so the kicking must logically have been done by the potent and invisible realitv the life, the spirit which was using the visible reality, or the flesh, muscles and bones ar an instrument, a vehicle, a conductor of manifested po tency or power the same as Lorenzo Crounse and E. J. Rosecraaz are being used respectively as governor of Neb, and sheriff of Sheridan county. Well, what are we going to do about it if it be shown that we can t see moae? Why, get all we honestly can of that thine called money, study the subject thoroughly not (letting "dis gusted" though Bomewnat "coniuseu till we understand it the came as we do other subjects. " From my other article I quote first as follows: "Now I shall claim that by money Js exclusively meant that particular some thing that is a legal tender lor the pay ment of debts. Nothing else is money.' And second: "To show that the money duality or property or function it an In visible, intangible essence or entity take your legal tender U. S. money across the line (imaginary line) separat ing U. S. territory from that of some foreign government. The spirit of the law, the merely visible expression or evidence of which is stamped on your coins and bills which go with them to, but not across the (Imaginary) line, and on the other side you will have your coins and bills absolutely intact and you can see them and feel them yet the money attribute can not be seen any more. You have coins and bills but no money. Not even the stamps (which are held by tome to be the monev 1 though perfect as ever will make your coins and bills a legal ten der money. They are dead and only the carcases are left for what they are worth. " I The first quotation is not disputed. "Potency" which the comtnercia value of a dead metal dollar or the take-if-you-please value of a greenback may save ia "exchange" in Canada or any other country is equivalent to the value of the carcass of the dead bog (pork) and is cot a money quality at alL A live U. S. legal tender dollar, or a horse or hog are compesed as I have shown of two realities united, matter and spirit, ths first a visible reality (matter) the other a poteit invisible reality (spirit). Now as the carcass of a dead hog (fat and killed for food) would likely be worth more (generally) than the carcass of a dead horse we will take a li hog and a live dollar with us to the Canada line and cross it Thes if crossing said (imaginary) line has killed the hog as dead as it has the money principle in the dollar we shall have two dead carcasses "good only for what they are worth" though possibly each may have more value and will go farther toward paying for a suit of clothes in Canada than at home." Thus you see why you imagine you see a potent and invisible reality (money) that you can't see. L. P. Cummins. COMMENTS. With a very few words I wish (for the present) to close the discussion on this phase of the money question. i admire Air. Cummins Ingenuity as a reasoner. and his ability to make even a dry subject interesting, but I do not see that he proves his point, or advan ces ideas that are of practical value. Those who claim that money is "a visible material thing" only claim that it is "visible," and "material" in the same sense as a horse, a hog, or a gov ernor, is "visible." If Mr. Cummins can prove that a horse is an "invisible reality," he can certainly prove the same regarding money. He evidently sees that to be consistent he must prove the former ia order to establish the latter. But the question of matter, and spirit, and their union is not a part of the money question, and need not enter therein. It is a question of meta physics. About Reform Books. Bromfield, Neb., Feb. 20, 1892. Editor Alliancb-Independent: Among the thousands of premiums offered by the old party papers there are no books treating on the science of government. I take that as evidence enough that they are paid to keep the people in ignorance. While men are free moral agents why not improve the opportunity, and let the subsidized press Btrictly understand that they can no longer hold their sub scribers by keeping the people in ignor ance on such an important eubjec? There are enough scientific and re form books to make a generation of philosophers and every true citizen appreciates the efforts of the reform press to put them in circulation that the voters may not be made dupeB of any longer. These books enable us to distinguish truth from error, and fix in the memory what is becoming to man instead of abusing the mind by loading it with sophistry. There ia much need of independent thought. Too many rely on others' opinions and are enslav ed. Those books are bo cheap that all may have access to the channels of thought, and it behooves us as Amen can citizens to throw off the shackles of prejudice, and walk resolutely be fore the world guided by well groundd opinions of our own; for it was through men and women who had expressed opinions of their own and dared ex press them that we progressed. In the strife between Knowledge and money, true Knowledge is a treasure that rascally cashiers and presidents can cot rob one of. If parents will in struct their children in tb.3 science of governmtnt. they will vo'e an intelli gent ballot at the ago of twenty-one; while if not Informed they will be very liable to vote a burden on themselves and parents. If we should see reform books offered as a premium by tne sub sidized press, we would think the g. o. p's. we-e preparing for the wrath to come. i ours ior rruin. B. F. McDonnel. A Scene in Congress. Says the speaker: "The gentleman from New York (Mr. Uunphy) asks unanimous consent for the present con sideration of a bill which the clerk will report." Clerk reads. Nobody listens. Hub bub all over the hall. Able statesmen cracking jokes, swapping news, etc. Pages laughing, or quarreling, or tus seling near the speaker's desk. Dense clouds of cigar smoke banging like a haze over the scene. Says the speaker (after the clerk has rattled off the bill as fast as be possibly could:) "Is there any objection?" Then as usual he adds, "The chair hears none." And in five seconds the bill would have become a law. "Mr. Speaker, I object." Savs the speaker in a tone which might be interpreted this way "The gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Watson, confound him!) objects " Gniciwus! Wern't tne Tammany fel lows mad? Didn't they Bnort? What was this little matter which was thus thrown on the side-track? It was a cm 1 proposition to give the city of New York a quarter of a million dollars per annum 10 increase her post office facilities, where they already have from eight to sixteen free deliv eries of mail every day. This democratic housa was willing to (rive it without a word of objection. And yet every democrat in congress knows there are hundreds of rural dis tricts where tax-payers can't . get mail once a week Why not divide things around? Why not give the towns and villages and country neighborhoods some of the blessings of mall facilities? This is a question which democrats will have to answer before many months roll 'round. P. P.
