The Stat8 Fair. Jteports from the State Fair all agree that it hps attracted bv far the largest crowd that ever attended an ex hibition of that association. The ex tremely low passenger rates, five dollars for the round trip from aDy point within the state, is doubtless the main cause of the great gathering of people. While the attedance is all that could be desired and more than was expected, the reports also state that there is great disappontment in business circles, among the hotel men as well as restau rant keepers and those who had rooms to rent. They sy the people are spend ing little money. Thousands, who would not have thought of such a thing a few years ago, bring with them food enough to last them while they stay. Thousands of them come in the early morning and leave late at night to avoid the expense of lodging. liut few buy goods at all, and those who do, things of the very cheapest sort and but little of them. Here we have the effects of the single gold standard open to the inspection of all. When oats is selling at 10 cents and wheat at 40, the price of the whole of a farmer's crop would not pay for a till of goods such as he was, in the old days, accustomed to go to town and buy two or three times a year and think nothi jg about it. This is what the populist have been telling the merchants and farmers would happen fof last ten years. These gentlemen would not listen and have continued to vote as the banks and corporations directed and now they have that for which they voted. Trices tixed by the single gold standard.

Labor interests were discussed in a spirited manner by several speakers and a vote of thanks was extended to Councilman Tom Dra p. for his action in requiring dealers to sell full weight loaves of bread. A committee on resolutions was appointed and the chairman of the committee submitted a report. Among the resolutions was this one: Uesolved, That we condemn the Eve ning News as the wilful, premeditated and avowed enemy of union lal or; sec ordly, that we condemn the Evening News for debaring its own employes from the opportunity to learn to use ihe machines, and third, we condemn the Evening News for its policy of seeking business success at the expense of mak ing beggars and tramps of the men whose association with the labor organi zations of this city has given the Eve ning News every measure of success it has enjoyed. The Methodist Preachers. The Methodist held their annual con ference in Lincoln during the week, JJishop Newman presiding. It is not reported that any of them fell from grace on account of the irritating hot weather, although they are all firm be lievers in that doctrine. They were a fine looking body of men, intelligent and earnest. During the last year the most of them have been on exceedingly short rations, but they have stuck to their posts and preached the gospel as they understand it. There is much courage and lidelity in the Methodist preacher who accepts an appointment to a "cir uit" on the bleak western plains. lie bi aves the heat of summer the storms winter, visits the sick, buries the dead, preaches in sod houses and dugouts, lives on the scantiest fare ml 'clothes himself and family out of missionary boxes containing the cast off clothing of his more fortunate brother in the ast who preaches to the plutocrats and gets lots of money for it. All honor to the Nebraska Methodist preacher, who wanders over tnese plains "preaching the gospel to the popr." Our circulation is increasing with ach issue. ( live us a lift in your neigh borhood.

I'elbcr, Hartmgton: Inclose f i (or your paper ami the Silver Knight." THE LINCOLN INSANE ASYLUM. One of the Best Managed Institu tions in the Whole United States. Medical Skill, Kindness, Cleanli ness, Good Order, Watchful Care Everywhere Appar ent. It was hot, awful hot. The tempera ture was 101 0 in the shade, away up where the government thermometer hangs. The wini was hot and it blew thirty-six miles an hour. The sun blazed and burned with tierce intensity. The air was dry and surcharged with electricity. It was a day to irritate and make nervous the healthiest man, that the writer went out to the Lincoln In sane asylum, to see how that institution was run while under populist control. No one knew that he was coming, and the institution was taken in its regular daily course. It was to be expected that the men tally disordered and nervously unstrung patients, suffering from the intense heat and dry air which tried the nerves of the strongest men, would be in great disorder. If some were wailbg.scream ing and howling and others strapped down on such a day as that w as, it was to be expected. Well men were disa greeable and made snappish replies to the most harmless questions. The writer had visited mad houses in irany of the eastern states ar.d in London, Glasgow Edingburg and other places in Great Brittain and had beheld scenes, like that, which he will never forget. What will the people of Nebraska think when Ife tells them that on that terri ble day, September 17, 1895, he went through the Lincoln Asylum from cel lar to garret, looked into every room in the building, every closet, every out house, and there was not a patient under the slightest physical restraint except one man, an eppileptic, who wore a heavy leather mitten on one hand, be cause when he had fits he bit his hand. Not a scream, or out cry was heard the whole day. The patients walked quietly about the wards or through the grounds, always under the eye of calm, silent at tendants, whose very appearance had a tendency to restore the unstrung nerves of the unfortunates under their charge. Dr. L. J. Abbott, Gov. Ilolcomb's ap pointee as superintendent, was just leaving for the city as the writer arrived and the inspection of the asylum was made in his absence. Dr. Abbott is a large kindly looking man, of fatherly appearance, just such a man as any one in trouble would seek for sympathy and help. IJerevolence and kindness beams from his face and is expressed by every movement of the body. Science has determined that the chief remedial agency in the cure of the insane is kindness and care in their treatment. Physical restraint and harsh ness only agrivates the disease. Dr. Abbott's celebrated order that any attendant against whom the patients complained would be immediately dis charged, is a step in advance of the scientific treatment of the insane which in time will be adopted by every asylum in this country and fifty years after ward, the asylums of England and the continent will come trooping along in the rear and adopt it. Dr. Abbott's character and force of will gives a tone to government of the asylum in every detail of the work there. Gentleness, quiet and calmness rule everywhere. Upon entering with Dr. Green one of tne "disturbed wards" on the woman's side, a patient was found who had cut her hand with a piece of glass. She was seated in a chair and the lady physician was attempting to give it a surgical dressing. One of this patient's halucinations was, that no one must touch her. Three trained nurses were holding her hands and feet. While the physician was dressing her hand. Dr. Green said to one of the female nurses: "I am stronger than you, let me hold her hand." As the doctor took hold f her hand the patient spat in his face, but he only smiled and calling the patient by name 8Hid: "I don't think you intended to spit at me," and the patient did not spit any more. In the old time, a straight jacket would have been clapped on her with out further words. After having visited many of the in sane assylums in the eastern states ar.d in England and Scotland the writer can truthfully say that, in not one of them did he see more erfeet cleanliness and order, and in nt one such quiet calm ness as in this Lincoln institution. To the citizens of Nebraska who haw friends or relatives In the asylum here, he can give unqualified assurance that the place is scrupulously clean, the food first claM, the physician, nurses and ut tendants uniformly kind and gentle, the treatment scieiititic and up to the highest htandard. A word on!) remains as to the politi cal side of the question. Politics can only touch the asylum at one point, and that is intim tnatterofexiK-nses. I'mbr republican rule the asylum was used to rob the people of the state to pay oil workers for that party, and the scoiin- dreii con ne. ted with it, have blackened j the name of t he state. 'n1 s populist control all Unit if changed. The last legislature appropriated 91 1, (.kio less for current, expenses of Ihe asylum thai, for the previous biennial period and there has been an average in crease of 10 per cent in the number of patients. Yet Dr. Abbott has provided, and will continue to provide, for every one of them and keep expeuses within the appropriation, which will be run ning the asylum 2 per cent cheaper than it was ever run before. Thanks are retured to Dr. Green, Dr. Abbott, (who returned after the in spection was completed) to the other physicians and employes, for he kind uess and courtesy with which every question was answered and the trouble taken to open every door and closet in the building. The County Fair Scandal. It seems strange that whatever the republican managers launch must be tainted with fraud or theft. The mass of the party, who are as honest as any other class of men, have let the rings ters run things until the said ringsters have grown wicked and viscious beyond endurance. They get hold of every organization, civic, mrchantile, agricul tural, or benovolent that is possible for them to capture, secure the offices and management and then run things for the the profit there is in in it. Theso chaps ran the Lancaster County Fair association, the republican candi date for county clerk being secretary of tne asssociation. As a consequence there is a general denunciation by all classes of citizens of the management of the last fair , and charges of fraud, theft and political jobery are being made on all sides. In the first place, the citizens say that the management hired 139 men to act as special police, when twenty-five would have been suflicient. In doing that the citizens claim that the manage ment had an eye on the votes. In the second place the citizens assert that the management had a contract with the circiiB company by which the fair association received 30 per cent on all tickets up to 5,000 and 50 per cent for all above that. Over 13,000 tickets w ere sold and only $800 was turned into the association treasury. They want to know what was done with the rest of the money. The republican managers didn't pay much of it to the 139 men acting as special poliece. They declare they only got 75 cents a day for 14 hours work. Everything that these ringsters have anything to do with turns out just this way. Kick them out. Fred Miller will be the next sheriff and Elias Baker the next district clerk for this county. Put this in your hat. II. It. Nissley & Co., of this city, the popular dry goods merchants, have an ad in this issue. Out of town shoppers are invited to make this store headquar ters while in the city. Up to the hour of going to press Mr. lteemer has not broken into the peni tf ntiary. On behalf of the taxpayers Warden Leidigh is still standing guard over that 8100,000 appropriation which the republican ringsters are bo anxious to get their clutches on. Mr. Leidigh can be relied upon to do his whole duty by the people. Frank Wagner of Beatrice, was in the city Tuesday and Wednesday. J le says Gage county populists are jubilant over the great gains being made in all parts of the county. Dishonest rt pub lican officials, who have for years been robbing the city and county treasuries, have turned the tide in favor of popu lism and good government. As to Judge Bush 'Mr. Wagner says his elec tion is a foregone conclusion. Reports from all portions of Lancas ter are to the effect that Elias Baker, populist candidate for clerk of the dis trict court, is making a clean and ag gressive campaign, and the able and efficient mannei ii which he has con ducted that otlice in the past four years is bringing him new supporters every day. Mr. Baker's character and stand ing appeals to the best elements of soci ety, regardless of party, and they are supporting him solidly. Lonia A. Ksensky, 1U8 North Tenth street.

At the close of the silver session of congress, s-enutor Teller went to Mexico and spent several weeks. When he re turned the writer had a long interview with him, the substance of which was printed at the tune. Shortly aterward, by the courtesy of Senator Stewart, an interview was arranged between the writer and Senor Romero, the Mexican Minister at Wash ington, when the whole subject was gone over in detail. Last spring the writer had another interview with Senor Borneo, and he feels sure that the fol lowing unsigned article was written by Mr, Komero. His position as a diplo mat would prohibit him from writing over his own signature on a theme that has become a political question, in a country to which ho is sent as a minis ter. The article is in part as follows: "The advantages to Mexico of the sil ver basis are the following: First. The silver standard and cur rency encourages very materially, while other leading commercial nations have the single gold standard, the increase of exports of domestic products, because the expenses of producing them, wages, rents, taxes, etc , are paid for in silver, and therefore their cost as compared with their market value, is coniderably less than that of similar articles produced or raised in single gold standard coun tries. When sold in gold markets, there fore, they bring very lucrative prices, as they are converted into silver, at a high rate of exchange. These conditions have caused a great development in the exportation of some of our agricultural products. Second. The silver standard is a great stimulus in developing home manufac tures, because foreign commodities have to be paid in gold, and, owing to the high rate of exchange, their price be comes so high that it pays well to manu facture some of them at home. A like result has been obtained in other coun tries which are on a silver basis, such as Japan, China and India. This fact begins to be sorely felt in in England and other old manufacturing countries. Third. While the fall of silver and free coinage in Mexico have not given to the Mexican 6ilver coins when converted into foreign exchange or sold for gold any value other than that of the silver bullion contained in the same, neverthe less, the purchasing power of the silver dollar is now, on the whole, as great in Mex'co as it ever was. Fourth. The fact that foreign com modities have to be paid for in gold, makes them so high that it operate as a protective duty against them. Fifth, 'i he fact that every gold dol lar is converted into two silver dollars, when sent to Mexico, encourages the Investment in Mexico of foreign capital from the rich countries, which have the goldstandad. Sixth. There is another very great advantage that Mexico has derived from the silver standard, although that may be peculiar to us. Before our railroads were built the articles which we could export were silver and gold dollars coining being then made cempulsary by law- because ue other product could pay the very high expense of teansportation. The result was that to pay for our im ports we had to export almost all of our annual output of silver, so that very little was left for our home circulation. Thus we were almost constantly suffer ing from a contraction of currency; money became very nigh, and the price of labor was very low. But now the conditions are reversed. The low price of silver abroad makes it, unprofitable to export it, and its value at home makes it useful in all industries, aud we send out our agricultural products to pay for our imports aud for our gold obligations, keeping at home our silver aud thus in creasing our circulation, so that we now have an ample supply of money in our banks. That fact, of course, stimulates industry, maintains the prices, and in creases the. demand for labor. Seventh. Most of our millionaires and miny other Mexicans having large fixed incomes (referred to live in Europe, and used to spend their money there, but t he higher rate of eichange has reduced their incomes s materially that a great many of them have returned home, and now spend their incomes in Mexico. In consequence of all these caiises.we have fewer business failures than any other country. We do not suffer in Mexico from one of the principal causes of the present financial distrtss in other coun tries the low price of agricultural pro due':. We luve more stability of prices, wages, rents, etc. Although uur waes are low, there have liven in recent ye irs a marked tendency t" their im reaxe.' That the pnivrity of Mexico is Mill increasing is proved by the annual iocs sage sent to the Mexican coiigres the l"'.th of this month by President Diaz. The president says: "Nearly all the rail way companies have shown mc-MUM-d earnings, due op-null) to local Iritfllc, winch naturally corrpoiids to the growth of the mercantile luhinc, and the agricultural prosperity of the conn try.

Tube Castor: Kecrniting Agent Neraska Station, My Dear Friend and co-worker. I send you my sincere congratulations for the good work you have done in my cause in Nebraska. The rump conven tion held in Lincoln was a child after my own heart, as it came squarely out on my side, for a gold standard and eternal poverty. That will make busi ness lively here. The rich will come any way as a natural consequence and the poor will now be forced into crime -and degradation which will bring them our way against their wishes. That is the object to be most desired, as we need more poor for servants for our rich. Hell is now crowded with the rich and not half enough poor trash get heie to wait on them. Gold is standard money here and must be made so in every country on earth. When that good time comes I may move my headquar ters to earth and will very likely locate in Lincoln. Keep up t.ie light for ours is a desperate game and numt be well played to win. For that cood time Bpoken of in the Bible is now nearer of achievement on earth than ever before. In fact it is desperately close at hand. Hemember you and all the bovs will have to work for a living then. Fight for present conditions to prevail and I will guarantee all you brave fighters for sound money a good time while on earth and special priviledges when you get a home here with nie. You did just the thing to put up a rump ticket but don't one of you who are the on inside vote for it. It would be simply wasting your votes. Vote with the sound money re publican party.
