The man who snores Is a sound

Marrying for wealth should be called

A good many people try to cover their

A Kentucky physician fatally hot a

His brother physicians should oatraclst

Two Oregon doctors, by way of set

either to get the other to take a pre
scription. The btcycle craze, It Is said, has cut
short deposits in savings banks In

wheels or paying for them in install

wait.
"Dry Sunday In New York" seems to
Btrike Tammany where it lives. It
wakes up on Monday woe-begone, and
requires several "three finger" drinks
before "resuming business at the old
stand."
Marshall Field, of Chicago, It Is re
ported, "made $7,000,000 In the dry
goo4s trade last year." And yet it was
"a dull year." Marshall Field Is a
wideawake advertiser in the news
papers. Our prohibition friends should not
overlook the tact that down. In Ken
tucky the other day a man's life was
saved by the most liberal use of
whisky. The mob simply got too drunk
tobreakopentheja.il.
'Ik I can't have my way I won't
play," is the attitude of the board
of public lands and buildings. "If
we can't get our fingers on that
ioo,ooo penitentiary appropria
tion we will starve prison officers
and convicts out." How much
does that lack of being anarchy?
Russell will learn to his sorrow
yet what a dangerous thing it is to
toy with the state prison and its
330 lawless characters. Such ac
tions as those that Russell and
Churchill have been guilty of arc
calculated to incite mutiny there.
Thk republican party has de
veloped politicians so mean that
the populist warden refuses to ad
mit them to the penitetiary for
fear that their wholesale stealing
will utterly demoralize the convicts
under his charge.
When Chairman Bibb asked the
delegates of the rump democratic
convention to come forward and
have their certificates signed so as
to get one-third return fare, there
was a general laugh and not a dele
gate came forward. They couldn't
see the point in being asked to pay
one-third fare, when they had
passes for the round trip in their
pockets.
After denouncing the regular
democratic convention at Omaha
and intimating that but few were
there. Chairman Bibb asked; "Did
you ever hear of a democratic par
ty fearing to call the roll of its par
ty?" And then he did not call the
roll of his own convention.
Mr. Benedict is Cleveland's
closest friend. He holds one of
the most lucrative and influential
offices in Washington, that of pub
lic printer. He says: "Unless
the democratic party comes out
squarely in its platform in favor of
the retirement of the greenback
currency, I will vote against it and
in favor of the party which does."
On that line the fighting is going to
be done in the next congress. The
old twins will come together on it
like they did on the repeal of the
Sherman act.

L01IKIR HUNTER.
Long years ago when the fairies
still used their power there lived a
j'oung man named Lohler. He was
good looking and not without wit,
but the poor fellow had one misfor
tune. He never succeeded when lie
went out hunting ami yet he obsti
nately persisted in limiting till the
sii me.
What h rare thing among com
mon people at that time, Lohier had a
pretty home of his own (lie tfift of a
generous lord whoso life lie had tmvetl.
It was made tip of a cottage beside a
Unfit; pool of fish, a few ncres of land,
ami a moor, where doubt lean, there
was plenty of game under the broom
and the briars. The moorland was
the torment of the poor man's life.
It was in vain that he set out at the
break of day, his riile on his arm, and
his dog, Pataud, at his heels, to beat
the bushes until evening. Rabbits
and hares slipped away betweeen his
feet, while the partridges and the lit
tle birds flew up before him without
lntrrylug us If they knew his ill luck.-
There Is no need to say that the peo
ple of the of the village laughed loud
ly when they met Lohier with his
empty game sack and Tatnud lowering
his ears. Itut when he came home the
unfortunate hunter had the same re-
(option. His w:f Pauletle, over- ,
whelmed him with reproaches.
Usually Lohier bore It with good j
grace and was only bent the more 011 j
going hunting. j
However, one evening he canto back
In a bud humor, after having spout j
In vnl'i his whole provision of pow- j
der. He found at the cottage his j
cousin William, who was wnih.ig for I
him with all his mates to ask hint to I
his wedding. After the first compll-
ments, P.-utlette brought out a jug of j
cider which put every one in a good j
humor.
"See here, William," cried. Lohier. j
while they were drinking each other's
healths. "What present do you wish j
me to make you for your marriage?" j
His cousin ansverod, jokingly: "Oh,
I'm not hard to please. Just bring me j
a few line pieces of game for the i
wedding breakfast. That will be easy 1
for a hunter like you."
This displeased Lnliior, who became j
quite angry as he saw the other smil
ing. So, striking the table a heavy
blow with his fist, he said: "Don't you
believe that if I wished to take the
trouble I should be as good hunter as j

I inn of specie payments In lSTil. passed In 187"), was,
of course, gold. Coin, therefore. In the contempla
tion of congress mid of ull business men of the
period, inennt (.'old.
It is astonishing that any one
could write or print such a state
ment as that.
The act of 1869, commonly known
as "strengthing the public credit
act" declared:
It lei hereby provided mid declared Unit I he pub
lic fuitll U solemnly pledged tothe payment In coin
or It equivalent of all obligation of the United
State not bearing interest, known as U. ! notes,
and all interest bearing obligations of the V lilted
States, except in cases where the law authorizing
the issue of any such obligation has expressly
provided that the same may be paid in lawful
money or other currency than gold and silvkii.
Everyone of the bonds of the
United States has printed upon it
in plain type:
This bond is redeemable at the treas
ury of the United States in coin of
the standard value of the United Slates on said
July 14, 1ST0.
John Sherman, when secretary
of the treasury, desiring to insert
the word "gold" in the bonds
about to be issued, wrote a letter to
Gen. Devens, then attorney general
of the United States, under date of
Washington, D. C, April 21, 1877
in which he said:
It may become Important to the public interests
to make the new bonds payable in coin of the pres
ent standard value, that is, gold coin. Some
doubts have been expressed whether the bonds Is
sued prior to ls":i are not payable In silver coin.
His object in addressing the at
torney general was to get a legal
opinion authorizing him to insert
the words "gold coin," but the at
torney general under date of
Washington, D. C, April 26, 1877
replied:
It cannot be authoritivcly said that the words
"payable in coin" or "payable In gold " are eqtiiva
u to the words used In the statute I
am. therefore, of the opinion that it would not he
safe to issue the bonds except as redeemable In
COIN.
After geting this, John Sherman
issued the bonds, payable in coin.
As the above are all official docu
ments, accessible to all, it is idiocy
to say that at that time "coin, there
fore, in the contemplation of con
gress and all business men of the
period, meant gold."
The records show what was the
"contemplation of congress."
March 18, 1869, there was passed
and the president signed th fol
lowing resolution:

lorized to be Issued

SILVER IS STANDARD MONEY.
In the Independent of Aug.
29th there was an editorial denying
the statement that the silver dol
lar was redeemable, supported by
quotations from Secretaries Carlisle
and Foster, and U. S. Treasurer
Nebeker. The same lie was being
published in the republican papers
of Indianapolis. Mr. E. B. Cum
mings, secretary of the populist
state committee of Indiana, wrote
a letter to Secretary Carlisle asking
what money would not be re
deemed, and "is the present silver
dollar standard money of the United
States?"
To this letter the reply is below:
'Tnr.AsnRT Df.iaiitmnt. i
OtTirE OK THE SECBKTAUT. V
Wasiiisoton, 1). ('., Aug. 2T, !ir. )
Mr. E. B. Cummin?". Hotel English, ImIi&naolis,
Ind. :
Dkaii Sir: In reply to your letter of the 3)tb
instant, you arc informed that there is no law, or
regulation of this department which provides for
the redemption of silvet dollars or silver certifi
cates in gold. Silver certificates are. according to
their terms redeemed by the government in silver
dollars only, while the latter, being standard coin
of the United States, are not redeemable in any
other form of money. UniWd States notes (green
backs) and treasury notes of ISSKI are redeemable
in coin, and are redeemed in gold, when that is de
manded, in accordance with the terms of the en
closed circular of November 1, istll.
Both illver dollars and certificates are received
by the government, the same as gold, in payment
of all debt due the United States.
Respectfully yours,
W. E. L'vmtis, Ai'tinir Secretary
This reply is not accurate in that
it does not state while silver is by
law standard money, the treasury
department refuses, in direct vio
lation of law, to treat it as such.
The treasurer will not redeem it in
other money, and he will receive it
as standard money, but he will not
pay it out as full legal tender stan
dard money. If he would pay out
silver there would be no bohd issues
"to replenish the reserve."
MR. GERE vs. JOHN 8HERMAN.
For fear that the State Journal
may not appreciate sucli authori
ties as opinions of the attorney
general and resolutions of the
house and senate, quoted in an
other column, here is an authority
that even the State Journal will
hardly repudiate. John Sherman,
Honest John Sherman, wrote a let-
ter to Hon. A. Man of Brooklyn,
N. V., March 20, i68, in which
he said:
Your idea U that we propo-c tfl repudiate or vio
late a promise when we offer to redeem the princi
pal (of the lKiuds) in legal leader. I think the
bondholder violates, his promise when be refuses
to take the same kind of money lie pays for the
bonds. If the case is to oc tested by law I am
right. If the bond holder can legally demand only
the kind of money he paid then he in a repudiator
and extortioner to demand money more valuable
than he paid.
That letter is genuine. The
writer heard Senator John P. Jones
read tt to John Sherman in the
presence of more thar fifty senators
and 1,000 citizens in the senate
chamber at Washington, Monday
Oct 23, 1893, and Sherman did riot
deny its authenticity.
OLD TRDTHPUL.
The following screed appeared
in the "Old Truthful" State Jour
nal Sept. 5th:
An interlineation or amendment was made to the
peniteiiti ry contract, yesterday. The contract
sbitrs plainly that Mr. Itvenier is to turn back to
the state board all moneys received by him from
any source whatever, but the governor's official
organ has been tearing its hair in an effort to
make out that the contractor will retain, in addi
tion to $1,0(10 a year for himself and bookkeeper,
all of the ID cent per capita i'r diem allowed him
by the stale for feeding prisoners. The official
organ has carefully refrained from publishing the
contract which would disprove such an allegation.
The Beemer contract was printed
in the same edition of the Inkepen
dent that contained the editorial
which dtove the board to "inter
lineation, i nat pertormance is
only a trick of the indicted Attorney
Genera:. 1 he "interlineation
makes it, in law, a new contract
and as it appears to have been
done after the bond was filed, it
entirely relieves the bondsmen of
any liability, as any lawyer on the
street will tell you. Mr. Beemer
has now a contract with no bonds
men at all, and if he gets in, that
$100,000 appropriation and all the
convicts can earn is gone, in which
event Old Truthful vould greatly
rejoice.
HAPPY MEXICO.
The Mexican Central railway has ordered addi
tional locomotives from the United States to meet
the needs of the growing traffic Associated Press.
Mexico has unlimited coinage of
silver, and like all the free silver
countries has seen no panics and
no depression, but its prosperity
increases just in the ratio that hard
times increase in the gold standard
i countries. The Mexican minister
at Washington says that the free
coinage of silver builds home manu
factories in Mexjo faster than a
dozen McKinley tariffs could.
I'REAKS OF OLD TRUTHFUL.
Old Truthful went at it with more
vigor than usual oa Thursday morn
ing. Here is some of the things
j she said:
j Leidigh is now being roasted for keeping con
! victs idle in their cells instead of allowing the
contractor to put them to work. Leidigh is also re
ceiving uncomplimentary criticism because his ac-
tion is keeping the state out of the convict labor.
This benefit in cash is estimated at f 1,000 a month
at the very lowest figure.
Everyone knows that if every
convict in the penitentiary, sick,
servants, clerks and all, were em
ployed that their wages would not
be $i,ono a month.
During the abjure of Laud i'omniissioner Hus
sell from the state yesterday (rovern or liolcomb
issued the following letter, etc:
That the governor of the state of
Nebraska should dare to write a
letter in the absence of Commis
sioner Russell is an unpardonable
crime in the eyes of Old Truthful.
Ik hades is any hotter than the
last three days the republicans are
to be pitied.
Ik crime was punished by thy
amount of injury done, political
tricksters like Russell would be in
the penitentiary.
Mr Beemer will smile his broad
and persausive smile for yet many
a day before he will persuade Gov
ernor Holcomb that Russell is the
only power that can create new of
fices and that for him the constitu
tion has no meaning and no terrors.
The first edition of a fine looking
populist weekly comes to us this
week from Nebraska City called
the Otoe County Progress. The
editor is ex-Judge B. S. Littlefield
and the bnsiness manager, E. C.
Buket. It has a very large
amount of original good writing.
The well known Novelty carriage
works of Fremont, Neb., owned by
Messrs. Armstrong & Smith have
been closed under a load of mort
gages These gentlemen, were
honorable, industrious and honest,
but the republicans distroyed the
home marked by the establishment
of the single gold standard ruined
them.
Gen. L. W. Coi.Hi has an excel
lent article in the last publication
of the Nebraska Historical Society
on the Messiah craze among the
Indians. It is the most trust
worthy of anything that has yet
appeared, and it is a relief
to see it, when one thinks of the
mass of trash and falsehood that
has been published on that subject.
It should be made a part of the
the permanet records of this nation.
HKIWIT EYES.
The readers of thir paper doubt
less will be glad to know that
Bright Eyes, who has instructed
and entertained so many thousands
of the most highly educated and
refined people of the eastern states
and England, and whose writings
and lectures have been translated
into, and printed in almost every
language on earth, vill be one of
the regular writers on this paper.
COMMUNISM.
That Keir Hardy is sent over
here to make a division in the ranks
of those who are fighting the Roth
schilds gold standard scheme is
made plain by the way in which
the most rabid of the gold bug
dailies are advertising him. The
Pioneer Press, than which a more
viscious goldite sheet does not ex
ist, not even excepting the New
York Tribune or Times has this to
say of him:
Keir Ilardie has turned out to be not half bail,
you know, lie advised workingmen to observe the
laws and he liclieves in sound money .
What must one think of the in
telligence of a populist editor who
will print three columns of this gold
bug agitator's talk, among which are
sentences like the following:
The land null the capital being necessary for the
entire community, should be owned and controlled
hy the entire community applause and not by
a section. land is capital, houses arc capital,
machinery is capital.
That is the common ownership
of all property, the worst sort of
communism. That, and the gold
standard on which to pay the debt
this country owes to England, is
what Keir Hardy wants.
To say "more money and less
monopoly" is to talk populism. To
say "not more money but less mo
nopoly" is talking nonsense or
communism.
Keir Hardy the English social
ist now in this country making
speeches to workingmen, is con
stantly advertised by the great
dailies. He
is a strong advocate
of "sound money."
Mr. Cleveland's public printer,
Benedict, says: "We in this coun
try still have to look to European
countries for advice and guidance
in finances, because they have not
only the money, but the experience
as well." If we follow Benedict's
advice we may capture some expe
rience, but the aforesaid purcies will
have all the money.
Every contract made, is an obli
gation to deliver a part of the
standard money of full legal tender
power that is in the country, and
nothing more or less. All talk of
doing business with checks or
drafts is utter nonsense. The man
must have the money in the bank
before he writes the check. If he
hasn't, he will find himself boarding
in a jail in short order.
Carneici'. nas knocked the tin
industry clear out. Hisenormous
ly profitable contracts with the
government to furnish steel armor
plates has enabled him to run his
mills ou them, and thus there is
a shortage in the supply of steel
billets and a rise in price to such
an extent that ternne plates can be
shipped into this country at a prof
it, notwithstanding the tariff O'ld
Truthful undertook to elucidate
this matter and succeeded in con
vincing every reader of the paper
that the editor knew nothing about
the matter and was simply doing
some paid for lying.
Without a doubt both old par
ties will make a desperate effort to
side track the money question as
an issue in 1896. John Sherman
gave the tip to the managers at the
opening of the Ohio state campaign
Sept. 10. He made the principal
speech and it was all on the tariff.
Neither gold, silver, greenbacks or
bank notes were mentioned. Mc
Kinley followed and did not men
tion finance. Last of all came
Foraker with an attack on Cleve
land's foreign policy. The people
were fooled once with a sham bat
tle over the tariff. Can they be
fooled again?
It is evident that some of the
great goldites are getting fearful
that in a fight on the money ques
tion they will get knocked out, so
they begin - to order articles on the
"home market, etc." The first
thing they did .when they had the
chance, was to utterly destroy the
'home market" by so impoverish
ing their American home custom
ers that they could not buy. The
lost "home market" will never be
regained until the price of wheat,
meats, corn and cotton is raised to
a point where farmers will have
something left to buy with after
they have paid their interest and
taxes, and that cannot be done by
constantly increasing the value of
money.

Mr. Russell issued orders that
no one should sell goods to the
warden of the penitentiary. Mer
chants having goods turned to the
statutes to see what the law was
and they found that section 3,443
of the compiled statutes said: "All
of the transactions and dealings
of the prison shall be conducted in
the name of the warden, who shall
be capable in law of suing and
beiDg sued in all courts and places
in all matters concerning said
prison." Then the Lincoln mer
chants sent word to Warden Lei
digh that their stores were full of
goods and any part or all of them
would be delivered at the peniten
tiary at reasonable prices on his
order.
Old Truthful had the following
ridiculous statement in a promi
nent place in that paper Sept. 10.
In speaking of the meeting of the
board to appoint the Omaha police
commissioners it said:
One whuis iu a position to know states that the
governor called his employe and others into the
room by touching an electric button under his
desk, a device which has been uaed by past govern
ors for calling clerks to the private office on busi
ness, and that it had been agreed on beforehand
