May MUi a statute of George Wash
ington, the first president of the United
States was unveiled nt Philadelphia.
President MeKinley delivered tlie me
morial speech to a reat crowd of people.
Jt is probably one of tlie finest statutes
in America, today.
It would seem that, inasmuch, as the'
Republican Party claim that the tariff!
will brinjf about piod times, and that!
the election was carried on that issue bv :
them, that as little as the Lieinocrats ;
could do at least, would be to p've the j
Republicans a chance to try their pan-!
acea. i
The Democratic Party, the Free Silver j
Party, and the People's Party all claim '
that this tanlf bill con not brintf aliout j
the proposed piod times; but if they i
should prevent the pasture of the bill, j
and not allow the Republicans to have a!
triiil the people will hold the obstruction-i
lsU responsible or the continued hard
times.
Mr. Chapman 'the broker through
whom, the tillered supir .Senators specu
lated during the Fifty-third Congress
will coniiueiice his service in the Wash
ington jail on the lth of this month,
unless be is pardontd by the President.
Jt is said that a tiumlier of Senators are
very anxious and are hrinpii"; mu:h iu
Jiueine to bear on the President 10 induce
him to pardon Mr. Chapman for his con
tumacious conduct. Whether these im
portunities w ill induce the President to
pardon Mr. Chapman is an open question.
There are no special reasons apparent to
the ordinary mind why this gentleman
should lie pardoned 'or his actious more
than others.
Senator Kyle, the blonde Popo-I)enio-Rep
from South Dakota had occasion to
lile a treneral answer of "not guilty" in
the Senate on Tuesday. He said that he
did not know what com mi tees he was
going to be placed upon, because he
was absent during the conference, and
while he was gratified that he has been
so well taken cure of by the Republicans,
he denies all guilty knowledge. By
way of avoidance, he also dead with
much force, that the Populists in the
Senate have always held that the Kepuh
Jieuns should controll both the Senate
and the House in harmony with the pres
ent administration. He failed to state
that he voted against the arrangement
of the Populists two years ago, but evi
dently he believes the decision is now
correct, as Mr. Kyle is now in the kwim
in capital letters.

Omaha, May 20lh. When the Nebras
ka Legislature appropriated $100,000 to
coyer the coa of a building uud exhibit
at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition it
was provided that no part of the state
grant could become available until the
stock-holders had paid $.'00,000 into the
treasury of the Exposition. Nearly $."(),
001) of this amount has been received.
Subscribers are ptying promptly. A
call has been issued for 2 ) per cent of
subscriptions and it is expected this will
net a sum nearly if not quite large
enough to render th-i state appropriation
available early in July.
While the law providing for state
commissioners will not become effective
until J'jly it, Governor Holconib will
within . i few days appoint the commis
sioners, who must serve without pay
until July. It is de.;ired that all the time
possible be given the new commisiouers
to aquint themselves with the details of
and to uquire such knowledge, of the
situation as will enable them to act
promptly when the state funds become
available. The Governor is operating
with the Board of Managers and is en
thusiastic over the fair promise of a
great exposition. The interests of the
stale at large will be protected.
As the plans of tne supervising archi
tects are developed the fact becomes
manifest that in architectural beauty
the Trans-Mississippi Exposition will sur
pass anything of its kind excepting the
World's fair. Eminent architects have
lieeii selected to design the great build
ings, as follows:
Agricultural Cass Gilbert, St. Paul,
Miuu.
Art Earues & Young, St. Louis.
t'lecerieity and Mm binury Dwight
Perkins, Chicago.
Mines and Mining J. J. Humphrey,
Denver, Colorado.
Mauufuct ureis and Liberal Arts S. S.
Beman, CJiicugo.
Hpe t:i tori ii m Fisher & Laurie, Omaha
The architects have begun the plans.
The subject of transportation facilities
between the city and the exposition
grounds is being carefully considered.
The streets are level, admitting of rapid
ransit and heavy trains. Three trolley
lines now run to various points of access
to the grounds. The run from Dodge
treet is made in ten micites; fare live
cents. Conditions are such that the
steam railroads can within a few weeks
provide tracks and adequate train service
to meet the heaviest possible demands.
Prospective visitors are assured of cheap
and convenient means of getting to and
from the grounds, a desideratum the
importance of which cannot be over-estimated.
Senators Thurston and Allen are en
deavoring to get the consent of congress
to make available immediately foil, 000
of the exposition appropriation. The re
mainder, $150,000, will be payable July
1st.
The work of preparing the grounds is
proceeding rapidly. The fence is practi
cally finished; many trees are being
planted; old buildings are being dis
mantled and large squads of graders are
excavating for the lagoons and lakes.
A scene of great activity is presented.
The Board of Managers of the Woman's
Department has made a formal request
of Governor Holconib to appoint a
woman as one of the state commission
ers. President Wattles has issued formal
invitations to foreign nations to partici
pate in the Trans-Mississippi and Inter
national Exposilon.

Washsnton, D. C, May 17. The pres
ident today sent the following message'
to congress:
"To tlie Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of tlie United States: Official
information from our consuls in Cuba
establishes the fact that a large number
of American citizens in the island are in
destitution, suffering for want of food
and medicines. This applies particularly
j to the rural districts of the central and
eastern parts.
"The agricultural classes have been
forced from their farms into the nearest
towns where they are without work or
money,
"The local authorities of the several
towns, however kindly disposed, are un
able to relieve the needs of their own
people and are altogether powerless to
help our citizens.
Tlie latest report of Consul General
Lee estimates 000 to 800 Americans are
without means of support. I have as
sured him that provision would be made
ut once to relieve them.
'To that end I recommend that con
gress make an appropriation of not less
than $50,000 to be immediately available
for use und jr the direction of the secre
tary of state.
"It is desirable that a part of the sum
which may be appropriated by congress
should, in the discretion of the secretary
of state, also be used for the transpor
tation of American citizens .who, desir
ing to return to the United States, are
without means to do so.

flic MoRg Thst Culled Me Hotre.
IiY WJU.IAM It E Dl'NliOY.
I was out In a Uecolate wilderness.
Where the bramble tore my fret,
I was weary ami worn, and ready to die,
Vt lien I heard a sonx rise full and sweet;
'I lie hung that called me home.
I waa helplesK and hopeless and sure afraid,
And my heart was heavy ia lend;
I stumbled mid fell In the dreary nlht.
Till 1 heard that song rise hij;h o'erhead;
The song that culled tne home.
1 was lost 'neuth a stormy, starless ky.
With nothing to guide me through the
dark,
When suddenly came the tender sound
Thut made my soul sttind still and hiirk,
To tlie song that culled me home.
And tlie song was not an opera air.
With passion xliakuii and deep with pain;
And the voice was not a wonderful one,
Hut the voice, like the song, wan plain
Tlie Kong thut culled me home,
The song was: "Nearer, my (Jod to Thee,"
And Its pleading rung, "Though it bo u
j cross
That ralscth mc," and I forgot my wunt and
I pals;
Forgot long years of grief an it loss.
In the song that called mu home.
Twits the son g I heard In my childhood's days,
Th song of the twilight time,
That mother snug as the night cuina down;
An ancient uud holy rvmo -The
song that called mc home.
And I entered into my luther'H houe,
And my wounds were soothed with oils :
And ever us yours go by that old vnng rings
Above life's dlirords uud harsh turmoils
The song that culled uie home.
