"That tlio exi'cutito lias pressed the Monroe doctrine bevond what was contemplated at tlio time of its an nouncement and that the resultant sequence of the position thus taken seems to be a committal of this gov ernment to u protectorate over Mex ico and Central ami South American stales.

The most notable incident of the debate wns tho attack made by Mr. Grow of Penn sylvania, upon wliat ho termed the ex traordinary attempt by the President and his clerks to encrnnch upon the prerogatives of the legislative branch of itho government. He denounced Secretary Carlisle for sending a finan cial bill to congress, and the action of the President in having read the fu nioiis letter to Mr. ditchings on tho Wilson bill just before the vote on tlio bill, which ho snid was an attempt to inllucnce the vote. Congress should resent such encroachments upon its prerogatives, Mr. Grow declared. Mr. Crowthcr of Missouri, was one of the speakers.

A Purely NehrnnUa Mntrnient. Tho organization of tho Nebraska Club is now perfected, the following officers for the ensuing year having been elected: President, Governor Si las A. Holcomb; vice president, Sen ators Thurston nnd Allen and Congress men Strode, Mercer, Hatner, Moikol John, Andrews aad Keiu: secretary, Charles H. Williamson; treasurer,, Al fred Millard, castiicrof tlio Commercial National Hank of Omaha, the latter two officers being of Omaha. Tlio or ganization is strictly a stnto one, us it was formed by a body of men called together from every section of Nebras ka and representing every interest, it starts out under very favorable cir cumstances, having the endorsement of Governor Holcomb and oth ing official and brsincss men ns definite assurance of their hourly co-operation and sulstnntial aid and support. Nearly twenty counties, or nearly one-fourth tho entire numlcr, were pledged at the organization meet ing to immediately form auxiliary clubs, and this is to bo done at once. Full information concerning plans for the foundation of auxiliary clubs may Lo had of tlio secretary at Omaha. The president and tho executive com mittee have jointly issued u formal address to tho people of Ne braska, tho substance of which is given below, and should nnd will be read to the end by every loyal citizen of tlie state. Tlie proposi tion seems to bo a broad one, in the in terest of the whole state, freed fromnll sectional bins or preferment and po political selfish motives. It will there fore appeal to the ready and substan tial support and co-operation of all good citizens. The address, in sub stance, is as follows, limited space for bidding the publication of the full text, tIz: llecogni.ing the value and need of organization, in tlio general interest of our state, a number of gentlemen, rep representative of all sections of Ne braska, met at Omaha, December .10, 1895, and incorporated tlie Ncbrnska club, tlio general object of which is ex pressed in tho articles of incorporation, also tlio preamble nnd resolutions which were in tlie early stages of tho movement adopted, first by the Manu facturers and Consumers association of Nebraska, and subsequently endorsed by the lending business and profes sional men, also state officials, mayors of cities, and others, forming a prelim inary groundwork for the subsequent building of tho completed structure represented in tlio Nebraska club now being formed. Tlio preamble and res olutions referred to nns as follows: Wheieas, The immigration of good citizens into Nebraska should bo en couraged. Whereas, Having in our great Btato n territory capable of supporting many times its present population, thousand's of acres of as fertile soil ns can bo found nnytvhcro in tlie world, one of Nebras ka's greatest needs now is a more rap idly increasing population. Whereas, An incrcusc in immigration, more particularly upon our agricultural lands, would result in (1) an increased trade in tho commodities handled by the jobbers nnd retail merchants of the state; (2) an increased consumption of the products of our home manufac tures; (.1) tho employment of idle labor and increased activity In all the ave nues of business and the professions; (4) an incrensc in thu valuation of our farm land, city realty and other tax ablo property, thereby producing a higher genernl average of prosperity to all our people now here and to come; und Whereas, There already exists among the people of the state, needing only to be crystallized und organized in order to become a live working factor in the general advancement of the in terests of the state, a sentiment strongly in favor of keeping Nebraska to tlio trout in an honest, earnest ami elTectivo manner, therefore, with an abiding faith in the grcut resources of our state und fullest confidence in thu integrity of its citizens bo it Itesolved, That we, the undersigned, and others who shall hereafter join witli us, hereby agree to associate our selves together and organize as asso ciation to be known as The Jtebraslta Club for tlie general purpose of secur ing tlio co-operation of all classes of people throughout tlio state in a sys tematic eHort to promote immigration of good citizens and add to the popula tion of tho state by tho year A. I). 1000, one million immigrants, being good settlers from other states and countries. There are scores of ways and meth ods to be adopted and put into execu tion. To n very largo extent they must bo left to tlio lloard of Dircctois and Kxecutive Committee. it is a fact not to be lost sight of that wo have not only to induce mi grants, but to slay tlio tide of emi gration, though small, from Nebraska. Wo have to meet in a dignified ami forceful way tho misapprehension that has gained footing abroad by tlio cir culation of slanderous statements de rogatory to the good name of the state. There is no question but that it can bo done by siinplu and persistent state ment of facts. An expressed by a prom inent citizen of the state, "Wcmusl start a bach-fire against that which is injuring us so severely or wo shall lie consumed." This must l.o done by giv ing the widest possible circulation in tlio pn-por territory to such editorial work lor illustration us is being turned out iluy by day by one of tho leading news papers of this, city, in which it makes comparisons from statistics with south ern und other status which are attract ing settlers from the country yonerally as well as from Nebraska and which show up very largely to the advantage of Nebraska. Much of the migration Is blind nnd misguided and n large per cent will sooner or Inter return the wiser for the experience and bettor thnn ever satisfied with Nebraska. It will bo nno of tlie duties of tho orgunlratlon to thoroughly inculcate the doctrine given expression to by Hon. Clms. W. Irish at the recent Stnto Irrigation convention when ho said, "Stick by your farms nnd stay in Ne braska. "' Statistics and other rollnblc informa tion will bo circulated at home, there fore as well ns in those sections whero any untrue and libelous items have been or may be given publlntion. Tlio statistics compiled will bear chlelly upon mnltcrs of interest to tho farmer, nnd it Is proposed to glvo them absolute credibility. Thcro shall bo a literary bureau or bureau of facts and figures. From such a bureau it is proposed shnll con stantly and regularly emanate by good ami bright pens now nnd attractive matter. Great cure will bo exercised that it shall be first of all accurate and that it shall be most judiciously dis tributed on soil whom it would natur ally produce the best fruits. This Is an organization by the people of the state, it Is theirs and they will bo expected to entertain and manifest an interest in it in keeping with such a relationship incidentally, but with emphasis, tho people most sought after shull bo the farmers, nnd the farmers' grown-up sons and daughters. Tills is a move- or lead- uieiit in which there must Vo no jcal as well 0MS,es ns between individuals, sections or localities, of as t'c tvecu iiic country ami towns, it musl bo a common, united, harmonious cIVort, not of tho classes, but of tlio musses of tho people, by the people and for tho people of Nebraska. While it is tho chief purpose of this statement to direct attention to the methods of applying tlie forces which will be mustered in this movement for tlie general good, nevertheless plans for developing anil completing the or ganisation will be of general interest. Tho articles of incoratlon require that 5.0!)0 shares shull bo subscribed and paid before tho club shall proceed to carry out the object for which it is in corporated. As tin example worthy of emulation, tho Manufacturers nnd Consumers as sociation of Nebraska is cited. This organization, a state one, with mem bers all over Nebraska, has already by formal resolution of its board of dircc tois requested its members, nctive nnd associate, in tlie various communities to luko the initiative in this movement, milieu up the original five stockholders necessary und call an organization meeting in their cliiTcront localities. Volunteer orpnnir.crs nro called for and should bo readily secured from every county In tlie state without de lay. Over" ono hundred signatures were promptly added to tho drafted preamble and resolutions, being those or representative citizens all over tlio state. Tlie co-operation and assistance of the press is earnestly desired. Foreign corporations and individuals having interests in tlio State, and there fore, in the work nnd success of the club arc requested to subscribe to tho common fund. Kvery business firm, every farmer, and all others, regardless of vocation, politics or creed, aro urged to join in tho common effort. On tho occasion of any and nil gen eral contentious, farmers' institutes, or other public gatherings of sizo and importance, it is desired nnd requested that tlie club be given a place on the program thereof and proper time for a duo and full presentation of its princi ples and pm pose and its claims upon tho public interests and support. Tho real estate men will naturally occupy n prominent place in the active work of tho club anil their earnest per sonal vigilant support is desired. Traveling salesmen, insurance ngents and companies, doctors, lawyers, clubs and fraternal organizations and all oth ers aro asked to interest themselves in this organization nnd tho good work it proposes doing.

They are merely a craze,, and ono that Ib without sense or roa son. Thousnnds of women havo never worn thorn, and for this they will prob ably bo very thankful. As to tho author ities that approve of them, that Is a matter of opinion. Many very excellent women wonr them, but that proves nothing. Tho bloomer fad is dying out, nnd a not very lingering death either. Wear moderately short skirts and gait ors, girls, nnd lot bloomers severely nlone. One of the best styles Is, a skirt just to the Instep in front and almost touching the ground at tho biiefc.
