" An - loy Chioniolo , The csteeint'd Chronicle leorun to have been very muoh imponod upon or was laboring under a very severe disorder of the liver hat week The facts are Alpha Morgan is not nor hat ) not at any time been man aging Senator Carrie's oaudid&uy for the United States Senate , The management lias from the first buen in olmrgo of Mr. I. A , lionoaii of this city. Mr. Morgan is a friend of Senator Uurrio , and , no doubt , would have'done Anything he could at'tiny time1 to assist Mr. Currie in his oaudidauy had his aHhistanoe been solicited. Olio time , a few weeks ago , when Mr. lioneau de sired to como home to look after hU private mattord , at his and Mr Ournetj solicitation , Mr. Morgan remained over and kept Ctirrio's headquarters open a couple cf days Aside from that he has had uothing to do with the management of Mr. Currie'u oaadidaoy. Those from Bro ' ken Bow , who have been at Lincoln from time to tiuio , looking after the normal school bill , have put in a good word for Senator Currio whenever the opportunity was pre sented , but , Mr. Morgan nor nouo of the others have had anything to do with the management. To the editor of the Chronicle we feel it our duty to mate that a membur of the republican county central nommittee whos business it is to attend the meetings of the committee , and help dibtato ita policy , is tbo last one thut should complain of the aoliou of the committed when he fails to attend. Mr. Royse , ox chairman of the committee , slated to the writer that ho notified each member of the date ot the last mooting , when the resignation ol the chair man was accepted and Alpha Mor gan was ohossn to ( ill the vacancy Two other members of the committee toe , Mr. II. II Andrews , of Calla- way , and J. O. Taylor , wore solicit ed to accept the chairmanship , but both declined , stating they had not tirao to give to it. Mr. Morgan was elected by the unanimous vote of the members present and accept ed. Mr. Morgan is a man whom ) character is irreproachable , and a mail of good business ability and oujoyu the highest esteem of all who know him personally. Since ho booauio identified with the party ho has boon loyal to the party , and a faithful and efficient worker. While , we wore one , who did not think ho was entitled to the position thrust upon him , in the eonato two years ago , from the fact that ho had not been an active republican publican prior to that time , wo have had the highest respect for him as a citizen. And most certainly approve of his manifest willingness , inoo he has enjoyed some of the honors and emoluments of the party to help boar the burdens. Tha chairmanship of the county central committee is far from being a snap , and ho , who fills the position fuilh- fully , will have lots of work and no pay. lu accepting the position Mr. Morgan did it as a matter of duty and not from desire , and in performing this duty deserves , and should have the support of every loyal republican , and especially the members of thu central committee If he does nnt , it matters not how many "good men" may be nomina ted on the ticket , their chances for election will bo lessened to just the extent of the ioiluenco of thooppo sition , Mr. Morgan is now , by the vote of the committee , the servant of the party in dialer county , and to oppose him is to oppose the party he represents , The approach of the city caucus has awakened thu usual intercut in the probable nominees for the sev eral places to bo tilled. Thus far it seems to bu a case of the ofllcos seeking the men , rather than inon seeking the offices. In addition to the n'iinos mentioned last week in the KKfUHucAJf , who are being discussed for the office of mayor , are A , R. Humphrey , J. M. Kim- borliug and F. M. Rublee. The two latter have positively declined to be candidates , as has also G.V. . Apple and Q H , Thorpe , two who wo mentioned last waek , The others have not personally entered a protest at thin office against their names being used. The list of poflsibie candidates that will , in all probability , bp brought ont in the CAUCUS are A. R. Humphrey , J. A. Harris , Alpha Morgan , W. J. Woods. There may be others. TlicBO men all have , business inter ests in the city , and should either be soleo'ed ' for the important posi tion , he would take pride in giving the city the beat government possi ble under the circumstances. Ow ing to the revenues for the past several year ? being low there la no Hurplut from which any great amount of public improvements can bo indulged in. The main work of the mayor will not bo to make a display , but rather to keep the expense penso within the receipts of the city. We are informed that the expense of quarintining against the small-pox the past winter , and caring for the patients , have cost the city about $800. As this item 'of expense was not anticipated , it put the city revenues in anything but ilatlertng circumstances. These conditions , however , make it moru than ever necessary that good men of business ability be chosen , at- well as men who will take pride in seeing that law and order are re- ipeoud and strictly observed. Be sides the mayor , ia to bu nominated a olerk , treasuier , police judge , and one councilman for each ward to fluooeed J. M. Kimberling , in the first ; E. R. Purcell , in the second ; and A. R. Humphrey , in the third. Whether each of these men shall succeed themselves , or whether others are preferred , is a matter that each ward will be called upon to decide at the ward caucuses to be held in conjunction with the convention. In view of the im portance of the situation , it is a matter of duty that every citizen , who affiliates with and believes in the principles of the republican party , owe to the city to attend these caucuses and assist in the selection of men of your choice for these several positions , and then use your influence and best ou- oeavora to aeo that the nominees are elected. Remember the drte and place is on Friday , March 16 , at 8 o'clock , at the court house. Congressional Apportionment. The following gives the list of counties of the several congres sional districts as approved by the new apportionment bill that was passed last Thursday : First District The counties of Lancaster , Otoe , Nomaha , Pawnee , Richardson , Seward and York Hhall constitute the first district. Second District That the count ies of Douglas , Sarpy and Uass shall constitute , the second district. Third District That the count ies of Burt , Dodge , Washington , Curaing , Stanton , Madison , Pierce , Wayne , Thuraton , Dakota , Dixou , Cedar , Knox , Antelope and Boone shall constitute the third diatriot. Fourth Diataiot That the counties of Gage , Saline , Jefferson , Fillmore , Thayer , Clay , Nuokolls , Adams , Webster , Kearney. Frank lin and llarlau shall constitute the fifth district , Sixth District That the counties of Brown , Rook , Koya Paha , CherryShoridan , Dawes , Sioux , Box Butte , Sootts Bluff , Banner , Kimball , Cheyenne , Deuel , Grant , Hooker , Thomas. Blaine , Loup , MoPherson , Arthur , Logan , Keitlu Lincoln , Ouster , Dawson , Buffal0l Phelps , Oospor * Furna * , Frontier , Rod Willow , Hayes , Hitchcock , Dundy , Chase and Perkins ohall constitute the sixth district , Wanted , 85,000 Recruits. Recruits are wanted. The war department has need of 86,000 youaq men. They must bo between the nges of 18 and 3r > years , and be physically Hound That is to say , they must l e the claHH of men who can get a day's work anywhere and bo able to do it ; they must bo a class of men who now at the anvil , at the forge , at the laitho , in the warehouse and on the scaffolding with the trowel or in the Htone yard with mall and chisel. The war department wants these men and may have some trouble to secure thorn. The country is to3 prosperous , The now army will not bo composed of starvelings No outpourings almnhouso and "poor devils" unable clnowharo to earn a emit will bn duoctnd to the enlisting officers. In the land < > f Famine , of trade depression or of agrioutural distress soldiers are never lacking. Then men enlist for the very cloth to wrap their bodies in. In the fie'ds ' of uuim- p > eyed labor results are easily found , the number being limited only by the supply and physical fitness of the offering. But in this buisy land , with factory stacks belching their clouds , with furnaces glowing with the heat of oommeroo , with miles upon miles of freight trains burring with their precious burdens and ports sending out fleets of ships with their rich Cargoes in auch a land the war departmen ; may expect to find real work ahead to secure reouits for an army , and it will be well for those who laugh at the teudium of the work to re member why roouita are hard to find Kansas City Journal. More or Less Poraoual. It is not surprising that Gover nor Dietrich should withdraw his recommendation lor a new peniten tiary as eoon as he saw the real condition of the old plant. The reports sent out to the eastern newspapers during the excitement ootneoled with the fire mis-led him into the belief that everything had been burned up. When he madr a personal inspection he found the entire plant iutiot , with the excep tion of the west cell house and the administration building. I1 did not tsko him moro than a few minutes to HC that it would not pay to throw away the east cell house , the shops , and valu able machinery , tte walls , the hospital , the stables and other minor buldiuga , and he promptly decided to roccommend repairs in stead the expenditure of a third of a million dollars on an entirly new prison. The truth about the peniteutary business is that the present site ia both healtful and convenient. A fine buldlng would make a more imposing appearance on the hill a short distance to the south , or over in the neighborhood of the asylum , but the institution would not be paatiolo more useful or healtful there than in its present location. It is true that the ground seema low , but it is almost as high as the greater part of city of Lincoln. The worst floods over aeen in the Salt crook valley never approach the walla. There were some faults of construction in the old prison that gave it an uuhealtful odor under the best management , but these can bo avoided in rebuilding , If the old cell house was so low in the ground an to be damp , thu new one can bo built higher. The odors that clung around the ad ministration building woae largely due to the cooking of enormous quantities of vegetables , including oadbige , onions , turnips and carrots in the kit clien in the basement. This kitchen can be put in a aeper- ate building without much addi tional expense , and the air of the whole place will be vastly improved In fact almost every fault in the old institution can bo corrected while the rebuilding is going on , if the authorities will take the pains to install the most moddorn plant that can be procured while they are about it. It has amused the people who know all about the prison to read in the Omaha papers grave , state ments to the effect that the ground around the building is not adapted to agriculture , and therefore a remove ! to some other place would bo advisable. The ground cultivated almost up to the prison walls on all hides , and some of the biggest crops grown in the state are harvested in the imtnodittj neighborhood. If agricultural pursuit1 * are wanted for trio prisonerfi there is plenty of land in the vicinity that can bo hvl on reasonable terms An old tjird was tolling a jjroop of men in the Lindell thu other evening why farming doea not go well in con nection with a penitentiary. "I see that they want to mike the convicts raise sugcr boots. " he said , "That is all right for about three mouths in the year , but what are they going to do with the men the rest of the time ? Nothing kills off the coviots worse than having nothing to do. It would mak o tlnm insane to go idle in the winter , when there ia nothing to do in the fields. There was a time when the contractors oou > dn't use all of the men , and the idle ones wore frantic to get out of their cells and into the shops. You might as well kill a man at once as to coop him up for six or nine months in a year. The only way to give n regular work all the year around n to do it in the shops. Than thu men can get their exercise every day without regard to the weather. It is this regular work that is the beat feature of prieou life. With out it half of the men would come out mental and physical wrecks. State Journal. STATE CAPITAL GOSSIP. Corrcipoadeuca. Lincoln , March 11 , 1901. Nebraska now has pointers from three elates on the senatorial ques tion. At the last moment the Oregon legislature dropped the leading candidates and elected a dark horae. Montana did the aamo. Delaware had a few republicans w'uo held out againat the corpora * tion boss who was trying to buy in to the senate , and the logialatuio adjourned without electing. If the proson ) , legislature felt in clined to put the stale to the ex. penso it might provide a committee to investigate the defunct fusion administration. The disclosure would hit nearly every "reformer" who has held office. Meserve could be made to tell about the intenst on the school money , and about the price of his bond. Porter could be question id about his illegal foes. Cornell could be asked to explain how he saddled his relatives on the slate , and allowed them to double up on salaries and fees. Wolf would have much embarrassment in telling about the school land deals. The board of purchase and supplies could explain the purchase of the worthless clothing and the 12,000 pounds of rotten butter for the Hustings aaylum. The priul- ing board would have a chance to toil about tbo purohaso of worthless ( stationery. The real price paid for the new carpets and wall paper might be ascertained. The public oculd cet a lesson in "reform" which would last for many years , but the investigation would cost a good deal of money. The noent report of the "hold- up" committee of the legislature puts in a moat unfavorable light O. S. Moran , a former "reform" rnem- .ber of the legislature. It seems that he started a sort of bucket shop to control the price of legislative votes on corporation bills. It will bo remembered that this is the same Moran who was a member of the notorious "Matt sniffling commit tee" appointed by the fusiou legis lature of 1897 , to besmirch the characters of republican ottioial ? . Under thn present conditions the outlook for the election of senators is not promising , and it is quite poasible that a movement may be made for all of the candidates now in the race to retire and let the leg- lature pick up acme new material. The folly of attempting to force tin election of any man against the protests of any part of the rank and tile of the party is now apparent. In oa e the most objectionable can didate does not boon retire , it is probalilo they will all have to get out befoio an election can bo had. ADAM QUANOKK. A CHILD'S. JOURNEY. , Llttln lOYiiiOIil Murjr Urbunrt' * tnnolf , The circle of American young people hns been added to by the arrival ot Mary Urhano from Austro-Hungary , eays thu Young People's Weekly. The remarkable thing nbout It la that she cnmo ull the way over land ami sea alone. "I am Mary Urbana. Send mete to Hnzlcton , Pa. , U. 3. A. , " wns writ ten on the tag attached to the waist band of this llttlo ten-year-old woman. That and the tickets for her transpor tation was nil the safeguard she had for her journey. Mary's parents were dead , and as she had expressed the desire to go and llvo with sorno rela tives lu Hazleton , certain of the people plo of her native town procured for her the necessary transportation nnd wrote the directions.Vhllo this new Ameri can girl could not speak ono word of nny language but Hungarian , she un dertook the journey with resolution. The tears filled her eyes as she sailed away from Europe to the mysterious land that nwnit/ her far beyond the blue seas , but she gave no other signs of childishness , nnd the officers of the ship 011 which she came say that they never had a passenger who caused them less trouble. Of course , every one on the great vessel was kind to her whoa It was learned how brave a journey she was making , nnd nil the passengers tried to make the trip as pleasant for her as possible. She ar rived in safety at Hazleton , a little the worse for the unpleasant incidents of tha rough seas which assail nearly every one. She was met at the railway station by her relatives , and made nor gladness apparent by a free expression of her feeling in her native tonguo. She was soon fitted out with the Am erican style of clothing , and she is now striving resolutely to master tha Intricacies of the English language. NOTHING IS WASTED.
