It is stated that the republican state
contra! committee will be called to meet
at the Capital hotel, Lincoln, on June 4.
The purpose of the meeting U to fix the
date, basis of representation and make
other preliminary arrangements for the
state convention.
It is quite noticeable that the fellows
who are insisting that Judge Kinliaid is
not a candidate for congress are all Dor
sey shouters. The Advocate has a shrewd
idea that a good many people will find
that Kinkaid is a sure-enough candidate
this summer. Chadron Advocate.
The result of the examination of the
books of the county officials of Dawes
county disclosed the fact that the ex
county clerk was indebted to the county
in the sum of $1,500, fees collected by
him and not accounted for. It is quite
likely that the ex-official will be asked to
refund.
An effort is being made to gather all
the informatiou possible regarding irriga
tion and artesian wells, or any flow of
water of an artesian nature. Any per
son possessing any knowledge of such
facts relative to this section of country,
will confer a favor by reporting the same
to Prof. L. E. Hicks, Lincoln, Neb. The
information is desired at as early a date
as possible.
In view of the prospects of Nebraska
being entitled to three additional con
gressmen after the census, it is reported
that Governor Thayer contemplates the
issuing of a proclamation providing for
the election of three congressmen at
large at the coming election. Gov.
Thayer does not propose that his state
shall lack representation on account of
negligence on bis part.
Washington dispatches state that Col
onel Canady has resigned his position as
sergent-at-arms of the senate, to take ef
fect July 1. A number of candidates
are reported for the position, among
whom is Hon. E. K. Valentine, of Ne
braska. It is stated that the chances of
the selection of Judge Valentine are very
good, and that when the matter comes
up before the caucus of republican sena
tors he will have a clear field after the
first ballot. Should this selection be
made it will be quite a victory for Ne
braska. The fight in the legislature of Louisi
ana over the lottery bill will be long and
bitter. The lottery company has offered
to pay the state $1,000,000 per year for
a charter permitting the company to do
business in the state for twenty-five
years. It is to be hoped that the legisla
ture of that state will decide that the
great lottery swindle shall no longer be
protected in its operations. Under the
protection of the charter given by the
state the operators have defied the pos
tal authorities of the United States and
it is time the institution was wiped out
of existence.
Judge Kinkaid passed through Bush
ville, last Tuesday night on bis way
home from holding the Box Butte coun
ty term of district court. There are lots
of republicans in northwest Nebraska
who would bs pleased to support the
Judge for congress from this district if
he should consent to allow his name to
be used in that connection. He is cer
tainly a pure man and the people up this
way have all confidence in his ability to
represent the district in congress accept
ably. The Standard does not wish to be
understood as declaring itself in favor of
Judge Kinkaid, but we pay him the com
pliment as we would any man who mer
its itRtuhvOe Standard.
An exchange makes a center shot
when it says: "Who is it, when his crops
are good, supplies the cat-ion with its
food and always by the nation stood the
farmer. Who is it, when bis crop are
slight and money scampers oat of sight
still straggles on with all his might
the fanner. Who, often when by debt
oppressed, is forced to do his level best
to teep up with the interest the fanner.
Who it it when he gate a crop, makes
mtemt and detbs both stop, and oomee
up smilingly oa top the farmer. Who
work contentedly away, while on the
pwMie tricksters prey and make the laws
tfeey must obey the fanner. Who
gives bia dollars and his dimes to greedy
treats and Mg com bines, which only
la ft whenever be whines the farmer.
Who is it must in future mix with pub
lic life and polities and down the tricka
tor and bis tricks fist farmer."

Tim Omaha lire of the lltth Inst, con
tains a long letter from Charles Wooster
of Silver Creek, Neb., on "Bossisra in
the Alliance." He states that the al
liance was created as a non-partisan or
ganization and it is contrary to the writ
ten and unwritten laws of the order for
a few to attempt to make it a political
party for their own benefit. He repu
diates the entire action and urges the
true republicans of the alliance to wait
and see what their party does before
they spring a new party, and then, if the
republican convention puts up men
whom the alliance republicans cannot
support, it will be time enough to make
a move for a new party. He says the
fact of the republican party not doing
what it should have done in the past is
the fault of the farmers, for tbey have
neglected their duty in not attending the
primaries and taking advantage of the
power tbey possess, and thus have allow
ed tricksters to get away with the bag
gage, and the farmers stand off and
howL He illustrates his position with
the following: "I do not believe the
farmers of the third congressional dis
trict want Sir. Dorsey re-elected this
fall. How may they prevent it? By the
formation of a new party? By no means.
but by turning out to the primaries,
each for himself, and by a resort to par
liamentary tactics and well-known polit
ical methods make their power felt, and
after this session of congress Mr. Dorsey
would then be able to devote his entire
time to loaning money to his farmer
constituents at 2 per cent a month." If
the republican farmers take the action
suggested above there will be no trouble
for them to obtain the redress they seek.
It is a well-established fact that too lit
tle importance is attached to the prima
ries by the masses of the farmers.aod the
sooner they take bold of the matter and
take an active part in the management
of the affairs of their political party, the
sooner their wrongs will be righted, the
wi sties of the farmers respected and good
men elected to office. The records show
that the failure of the many to take an
active part in party work has left it in
the hands of the few, but how would the
orgauization of a new party help the
matter? Is it not the very point on
which the writer from Silver Creek lays
his complaint? And is it reasonable to
suppose that they would attend to the
work of a new party any better than
tbey have of the old one? The farmers
of Nebraska have the numbers to nomi
nate and elect just such men as they
want and if they give Van Wyck, Bur
rows and a few others who think tbey
see in the uprising of the farmers an op
portunity for them to get to the front
on the popular wave, to understand that
the farmers are "dead onto" their little
game, and that they do not want chronic
office seekers for leaders and then
set to work to accomplish the de
sired changes on their own hook, the
work will be greatly simplified.
Congressman Dorsey is being met at
every turn in his efforts to be sent to
Washington for a fourth term. His prom
ise made two years , ago puts him in a
bad position with a large number who
supported him in hislast campaign, as
they think he ought keep his word. In
the eastern part of the district the Dor
sey advocates are using the argument
that the present incumbent should be
returned on account of his living in that
part of the district, and also because of
having been there for three terms and
become acquainted with the workings of
the various departments of the govern
ment at the national capital. This ar
gument is considerably weakened by the :
fact Lieutenant Governor Meiklejohn is
a resident of the eastern part of the dis
trict and is actively in the field, of
course he has neuer been to congress but
he has the reputation of keeping bis
word, then again the stalwart form of
Judge Valentine, of West Point appears
in the arena. This gentleman is also a
resident of the eastern part of the dis
trict, and has also had six years exper
ience in Washington and is therefore
quite as well acquainted with the ins
and outs at Washington as the chairman
of the house committee on banking and
currency. In addition to this, the west
ern part of the district seems to feel
that it is entitled to some recognition,
and the indications are that the twelfth
judicial district will go to the congress
ional nominating convention a unit for
Judge Kinkaid, and when the fact that
the twelfth judicial district is three
hundred miles in extent from east
to west, to say nothing of
the following he will have outside of his
district, is considered, it wilt be seen that
Judge Kinkaid will bare a pretty strong
following. Then there are a number of
other gentlemen who are looking with
longing eyes to a seat under the dome
of the national capitol, among whom are
Harrison, N orris, Bamea and
others, each of whom bave boom follow

asjr will not bave the support of his own

The free coinage of silver is, without
doubt, tlte most desirable thing congress
can do for the great mtuHn of tlie peo
ple. The cry is made by capitalists that
it would reduce tlie purchasing power.
That might be the result but it would
not lessen tlie debt paying power of tlie
currency, and in the west especially the
great end sought by the majority is tlie
ability to meet debts. Every contrac
tion of tlie currency is in favor of the
capitalist and every expansion of the
currency is a boon to the poor laboring
classes and farmers. For illustration
let us take a man who works by tlie day.
He is able to live on a dollar a day and
thus has fifty cents out of each
days' wages to cay debts and
prepare for misfortune and old age.
Should the currency be expanded to
double its present volume, and tlie pur
chasing power thereby reduced one-half,
tlie result would be that tlie wages of
the man would be doubled. He would
receive three dollars a day for his labor.
Of course his living expenses would be
twice what they are now, or two dollars
a day. but still he would liave double
the amount left to apply on his debts or
place to bis credit at the savings bank.
The same rule will apply to tlie farmer
and lite mechanic. What they receive
in excess of their expenses would be in
creased if tlie volume of the currency is
increased, and that is what the west
wants and it wants it at the earliest
possible date. Let us have an expansion
of tlie currency by all means.
Tom Mann, president of the Dockers'
Union, London, writes to the Nineteenth
Century that wages in free trade Eng
land are very near tlie starvation point,
and that the dock laborers received only
$2 a week before their strike. The la
boring men of England are not tlie
eulogists of free trade. They have liad
a 'ntter experience with that doctrine
pr.cticallv carried into business affairs.

George Francis Train arrived in New
York on the 18th int. on his trip around
the world. He had been on the road for
sixty days, and expected to reach Taco
ma. Wash., the place from which he
started, in five days more. Tlie feat of
making-a circuit around the globe in six
ty-five days is certainly making good
time, but it is only in keeping with the
general push of the ninetenth century.
As to Proxies.
Lincoln Journal
So much has been said in the procla
mations of the "conference republicans'
lately about the "proxies" that nomi
nated Judge Norval last fall against the
honest farmer delegate that voted vainly
against hired men for Judge Reese, that
the Journal has procured the official rec
ord of the convention and publishes it
this morning in full. It is the first time
by the way that it was ever published.
The roll of that convention was not call
ed except for a few of tlie first names,
and no reporter got a chance to copy it.
The outcome will be a surprise to the
gentlemen who have thought it safe to
make the "proxy" charge against the
nominee of the convention. The journal
of the convention shows that Norval re
ceived 545 votes and Reese 268. Ner
val's majority was 276. There were 257
proxies in the convention. Deduct them
from Norval's majority and he is still 19
ahead.
But the analysis of the vote shows
that at least seventy proxies voted for
Judge Reese. This is more than one-
fourth of his entire vote.
Only 128 certainly voted for Norval,
which is considerably under one-fourth
of his vote. The probability is that the
sixty-one proxies whose votes cannot be
determined from tlie record, were di
vided in about the same ratio. Was
there ever so great a cry over the
amount of wool that is disclosed in this
record.
This Is Funny.
Fremont Tribune.
All the politicians who were present
from the third district at the organiza
tion of the Wyoming oil company at the
Millard hotel last week were of the opin
ion that Mr. Dorsey would be returned
to congress this fall without the least
bit of trouble. This sonnds oddly
enough and evidently isn't sanctioned by
Mr. Dorsey. The Tribune has it upon
what ought to be the be best authority
in the world that Mr. Dorsey will not be
a candidate for re-election.

AN INTELLIGENT CAT.
It Om Is Prmrvr-Mertlnf Bring Mm
MlM RUiaa OfimtblBMiiia.
Ch er at the West End. avt the Bo tee
Transcript, there lives a colored family
which is Doted for peing a breed of
cats which it txvmt to have a monopoly of
- remarkably intelligent animals they -re.
if not always sleek and handsome, lot
long ago a lady on beacon Hill who was ia
need of a servant, and to whom a daughter
of his oulcred household bad been reor
mended, called one evening at the hltie
house up an alley where the people Uvea. A
(tout, alack woman came to the door.
"Does Eliza Orangblossom live beret'
the lady asked.
"Yes, she do, ma'am; but she ain't In jet'
dit minute," said the stout, colored worn
"But ef you'll step in, I'll sen' out arter
her."
She led the way in and seated the lady in
the living-room of tha bouse. There were
several cats present, one of which, a
scrawny but alert-looking Maltese with
green eyes, rubbed up amiably and in
quiringly against the visitor's dress.
"You come 'way from dar, you Malty !"
exclaimed the colored woman to the cat
"You hyah me I Now yon go ober V de
chu ch aud git LIzv, and brag her home.
You go fetch 'Lazy 1" she repeated, holding
the door open.
The cat, after sidling and wavring on the
threshold a moment, as cats always do in
order not to appear too obedient, disappeared
throueb the door.
"Y ill will the cat bring your daughter!"
the lady asked in astonishment.
"Laws bless ye, ma'am, you wait an'
see," said the colored woman.
Some minutes went by, snd the lady be
gan to think that tbe mission was quite a
failure, when the door opened and a strap
ping colored girl came in with the Mallesr
cat at her heels. The girl had hardly got iu
when she broke out:
"Mummy, did you send that 'ar Malty to
fetch me I"
"Co se I did."
"Wal, now, I'm tired o' habin' datcat
follerin' me up wherever I go. Seems like
1 can't go nowhere but you send her after
me ! lie re I wus in de pra'ar meetin' sittin'
quiet in de pew lnWnln' to Matiidy John
son relatin' ber 'spenenocs wld grace, an'
all 't once in walks datcat right up de aisle,
an' begins mewin' an' yowiin' at do pew
door! Oh, dey wus all lookin' an' laughin',
and nothin' fer me tar do, o' oo'se, but ter
went right out I hope ye'll 'souse me,
ma'am but 1 reckon you wouldn't like ter
be fetched home way from de pra ar meetin'
by a screecuin' Maltese cat, neither."
The visitor could not help inwardly reck
oning that she wouldn't. But her ad
miration for tbe cat was so great that she
made anoint afterward to get one of her
kittens. The animal, however, was a great
disappointment. Not that he seemed to be
lacking particularly in intelligence be was
Intelligent enough, on tbe contrary, to get
himself lodged aud fed and i eued without
rendering any return whatsoever. Ho sits
in the window pretty nearly the entire dsy,
watching the panorama ou the street with
evident interest, and never appearing to
dream for a moment that be has any social
duties.
HIS TROUSERS BAGGED.
But He Had Enough M annj to Pay far a
Uood HrenkfiMU
"The restaurant-keepers in this city are
the most suspicious people I bsve ever
struck," said a tall, fine-looking man,
dressed seedily, to a Kan Francisco
Alta reporter. "My name b P. B.
Phenss aud l am a native of Indian Ter
rltory ; In fact, in plain words, I am a half
breed. I own a vast amount of property In
the Territory. I am not boasting when I
say that I am worth fully 1350,000. My
wife and family bave been living in this
city Mr fully thirty years, and I bave made
my home here during that time, making
occasional trips to my property in tbe In
dian Territory. Lately 1 determined to
take my family and locale there per
manently. This morning early 1 dropped
Into a Market street restaurantI bad to
catch the 8:30 boat and astced for break
fast. Tbe landlady eyed me for a minute
or so, and, noticing that my clothes were
rather old and seedy, said to me:
" 'Bay, stranger, have you enough monev
to pay for your meal!'
"I was rather surprised, you bet, at this
reception, but answered: "Cert, ma'am,'
and, opening my purse, drew out a $1,000
bill, and added: 'lo you think that is
enough to pay for a breakfast in this high-
toned establishment! Of course I don't
want pearls ground into my coffee, nor
diamond-studded bills of fare, but if you
think that is sufficient to pay for what I
want, all right' Ho sooner did the lady
sue the bill tban she became the most ob
sequious creature you ever saw. 'I beg
your pardon, sir,' she said. 'Please sit
down here.' I sat down at the table pointed
at and tbe landlady ordered a clean table
cloth, clean glasses, napkins every thing
she could think of, in fact and even went
so fares to put a beautiful bouquet of roses
in the center of tbe table. Bbe would not
let one of tbe waiters take my order, but
coming to me herself, said : W hat won Id
you wish to bave, sir)' 8be slr'd me then,
you see.
"Feeling rather hot at the treatment i
bad received I said, shortly: 'Nothing at
all, madam.'
"'Nothing!' she echoed.
"'Nothing.' 1 replied. 'I want nothing In
a bouse where tbey ask men whether tbey
can pay for their meals first. Perhaps you
would like to look at my purse, madam,' and
I opened it and showed her twenty bills of
1,000 each. When she saw I bad 190,000 on
me you never saw such an astonished look
on s person's face as appeared on hers. She
was almost speechless. I arose then, and,
bowing to her profoundly, remarked: '1
hope, madam, that you will not in the future
judge a man by appearances and ask im
pertinent questions of him because his
pants are baggy at tbe knees. By so doing
you will Dot lose valuable patrons, as you
bave this morning.' I departed, leaving
the lady looking tbe picture of chagrin."
