Then the father of the girl, William Henderson, cut off tho nog-roe's ears, while ono of tho crowd pound"d his fingers, joint by joint, one finger at a time, until the hand was a shapeless mass. This was because, in the strug gle to subdue Miss Henderson, he had bitten oft ono of her flnjrers.

Competitor for tho Uuropenn Trade. Washington, Oct. 7. Tho most formidable competitor to the United States for tho control of the European cattle markets has nrisn in Australia, according to n special report to tho state department by United States Consul Hell at Sydney, which gives much valuablo information of the present condition and future prospects of tho industry of cattlo raising in that country. Ho shows that New South Wales nnd Queensland, where the Industry flourishes, havo about ten times as much land fit for cattle feed ing as the whole state of Iowa. While much of this laud is so scantily supplied with natural water so us to greatly limit llvo stock operations, tlio government m has come to tho leseuo and it's successful ex periments in artesian well boring has vastly extended tlio possibilities of the industry. Ono well alone supplies 0,000,000 gallons of wutcr daily. At present prices cattle can, bo raised m Queensland nt n profit for their hides alone. In that colony there are 7,000,000 head of cattle and in Now South Wales '.'.SOO.OOO. Tho people have nearly twenty head of cattle per capita u against less than one Head per capita in the United States. For several years thcro has been considerable export business in frozen and preserved meats, but cat tle raisers are reuehlng out for llvo stock trade and a number of ship ments have been made to Europe. Fat tened cattle at export points are worth 521 per head, freight is S10 und time of voyage to Europe from forty-five to sixty days. Aver age weight is l,80i pounds per head and tho cattle gain In weight on tho voyage. Tho consul snys that while the cattle raisers of tho United States havo the advantage of from 0,003 to 10,000 miles in dis tance, still with cheaper production nt first cost, and lowering of freights, if the Australian tnule became well es tablished, tha tfi-rir.g !r. cMrttuice by tho American shipper will hardly off set the Australian advantage, und tho latler could place well fattened 1,C00 pound cattle avernjrlr batter in qual ity than the best In the United States in the London market more cheaply than they could bo brought from nny other part of the globe. Of course, ho sayx, as yet there is an "if" in all these calculations HONORS FOR IVh PASTEUR. An Iinprcalo 1MW Vuncrnl Accorded to tlio Urrat Selontlut In 1'arU.

Senator Thurston then addressed the convention, after which came the rr.ATroiiM. Chirman Frick of tho committee on platform, then presented and read tho platform. We, the republicans of Nebraska, in convention assembled, declare our ad herence to the statement of principles nnd policies adopted by the national re publican convention of 1802. Governed in accordance with theso principles, tho industries of tho nation have pros pered, the revenues were always suffi cient for the ordinary expenses of tho government, tho veterans of tho war for tho union, disabled in the service, nnd the widows and orphans of the dead wcro liberally pcovltled for, and a greater part of tlio national debt In curred in tho defense of the flag had been paid out of tho surplus. The na tional debt had been established, the currency of tho country (amply secured by a treasury reservo nover impaired) was beyond question, nnd a degree of prosperity attained unexampled in tho history of tho nations. But tho fallacies of so-called pop ulism having temporarily demorali7.ed the rank of republicanism in its strong holds, tho last national election re stored tho democratic party to power in tho executive and legislative depart ments of the government, and tlio re sults of the "change" immediately ap peared. The industries of tho nation were paralyzed, financial panie follow ed, unprecedented for Its duration and widespread disaster to our commercial nnd manufacturing interests, its im pairment of values of all property and product, and its reduction to a pauper level of the wnges of labor. Tho fears of tho people wero finally justified by tho passago 01 tho Wilson tarilr bill, a measure so obnoxious and indefensible that a democratic president, pledged to free trade measures, denounced itns an act of perfidy and dishonor, but suffered it to become a law without his signa ture. This law, based upon no recog nized principle, fathered by no partj platform, that neither protects Ameri can Industries nor raises a sufficient revenue to supply the ordinary necessi ties of the government, that has forced tlio borrowing of immense sums of money on the bonds of the government in a time of profound peace, and tho farming out of tho functions of the treasury department to a syndicate, J onco more proven the utter incapacity of tho democratic party lor administer ing tho affairs of tlio government. The election of a congress last No vember with an unparalleled repub lican majority immediately strength ened tho national credit, restored, in a ereat measure, the confidence and mur age of tho people, and revived our lan guishing industries, and has signally vindicated the republican policy of pro tection to homo industries and a sound currency. We, therefore, call upon all patriotic people, irrespective of former political affiliations, to join in assisting 10 bring back prosperity to the state and nation by re-enacting protection to American industries on tho basis of that splendid law known as the McKinlcy act," thereby securintr nn ndequato revenue whilo guarding the American market for American products and furnishing steady and permanent employment of American labor at American wages, and returning to tho beneficial system of commercial reciprocity with our bis ter American republics. ALL KINDS OP MONEY EQ.CAL. Favoring the use of both jjold nnd silver standard money, we oppose all monetary legislation that would result in either gold or silver monometallism, and demand tho maintenance of a na tional currency, every dollar of which, whether in gold, silver or paper, shall Vo of equal debt paying or purchasing pawcr.

The republican party, always fore most in tho march of progress, rccog- nizes the importance of irrigation to tho people of tho western part of tho state, and wo pledge tho party to tho same friendly spirit In tho considera tion of future legislation as it exhibit ed toward these interests in tho enact ments of tho first general irrigation law in 1880, and again in 1S95, upon its return to power in both houses of the legislature, when it greatly extended the fenturcs of the law of 1880 and in cluded provisions for the organization of irrigation districts. And wo hereby ask the congress of the United States to enact such laws as will dctcrmiuo tho rights between citizens of several states in tho use of water for irrigation purposes from streams flowing through two or more states. To further aid in tho development of Irrigation, wo would respectfully re quest our congressional delegation to urge the passago of a law granting tho stato for this purposo tho remaining public lands undisposed of within our borders. Wo congaatulato tho people upon tho restoration of tho sugar bounty and the wonderful Impetus given this industry on account thereof, but wo demand' that tho books of thoso that receive tho benefits of tho bounty of state and na tion should nt all times bo open to tho inspection of lawful authority and that sworn statements of costs of produc tion should bo furnished in order that justice may bo dono to the people, as well as to tho recipient. m Another Urtut CrtllMT.
