The Stnte Fair.
The Nebraska state fair was a decided -
cided success , both in the matter of exhibits -
hibits and attendance. If anybody had
any doubt about this a visit to the
grounds was sufficient to dispel the
doubt. The weather for most part
was not all that could have been desired -
sired , and yet the attendance went
considerably beyond the record , and
would undoubtedly have been much
greater had not heat and dust inter-
fercd. Forty thousand people are
credited with being on the grounds
Wednesday , and at least 10,000 in addition -
dition to this number on Thursday.
There was a lack of means of transportation -
portation , the dust was not properly
laid , and some other things were left
undone that should flare been attended -
ed to. The managers have gained experience -
perience that will enable them another
year to have all matters arranged and
carried out in a satisfactory way.
The agricultural exhibit was the best
ever seen in 'Nebraska , and this is saying -
ing a good deal when it is considered
how many splendid exhibitions the
state has held. All the various departments -
ments were full to overflowing , and
evidence was present on everyy hand
that Nebraska is not only a productive
state , but that her citizens take prlde
and satisfaction in making it known
to the world. Counties vied with counties -
ties in elaborate displays , and all were
so good , so full and complete , that it
was difficult to draw comparisons.
Omaha took care of the large crowd
in a splendid way , making her claim
ggod to every pretension previously set
forth. The city was brilliantly illuminated -
inated through the entire week and entertainment -
tertainment elaborately provided for
the thousands of guests within her
gates Bands innumerable wrought
enchanting music on all'sides , and the
parades arranged for the various evenings -
ings were up to expectations and drew
hundreds of thousands of sightseers.
The Nebraska state fair for 1805 passes
into history as one of the most successful -
ful ever held , and if there was anything -
thing lacking the experience that has
been gained will enable the managers
to provide it in 1890. The fair has advertised -
vertised the state's resources in a man-
ncr that will bring good fruit in great
abundance in coming years.

Protects the Cattlemen.
The Northwestern Live Stock association -
ciation of Cherry county , Nebraska ,
with headquarters at present at Merriam -
am , held a special meeting at Valentine -
tine for the purpose of extending the
hand of welcome to all cattlemen of
the middle and eastern portion of Cherry -
ry county. On December 13 , 1593 , this
association was organized and incorporated -
rated under the laws of the state of
Nebraska. It is in its infancy as yet ,
but it has proved itself worthy of consideration -
sideration in protecting stoekgrowers
and shippers from the petty pilfering
that has been carried on in the last few
years The association's next semiannual -
nual meeting will be held in Valentine
for the purpose of amending its bylaws -
laws and increasing its membership ,
and if possible locating the associa-
tion's main ollice at Valentine , Neb. ,
which is the county seat of Cherry
county.
The Feast of Mondamin.
The great parade on Thursday night
at Omaha was the crowning feature of
the kind in the west. Thousands and
thousands of people viewed the great
pageant and expressions of awe and
surprise were many and pronounced.
Never a sight so beautiful in this western -
ern land. Inconceivable in beauty
hardly describes the inagnificen'tfloats ,
twenty in number. Blending with the
richness of the costumes were the colors
of the king and Uncle Sam-red , white
and blue and the rainbow hues of heav-
en. Indescribable was its gradeur. It
was fairy land in reality-an epoch in
the life of every witness. Omaha has
achieved a grand distinction in her efforts -
forts to please her visitors.

a
BANKERS PUT UP GOLDS
ILL PLEB G E $30,090,000 , , TO THE
TREASURY. IF I aEEDED ,
WORK OFBONDSYNDICATE
They Desire to Avoid Any Aetlon Which
Would llavo the Effect of Checking
the Steadily Increasing Businees
Prosperity That Is Now in
All Sections of the
Country.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 23.-The easy assurance -
surance and confidence of the treasury
officials that there will not be a bond
issue and that the treasury gold reserve -
serve will not again be seriously depleted -
pleted is explained by a prominent official -
ficial , who says that through the good
offices of the bond syndicate , promises
have been secured from bankers in the
principal cities of the country that in
case of necessity they can be called
upon to nlace up to SJO,000,000 of gold
in the treasury in exchange for legal
tender. This important matter has
been quietly negotiated by Messrs.
Belmont and Morgan cluring the last
fifteen days.
The reasons which have led to the
action are varied , but all tend to the
same end. On the part of the administration -
istration it is recognized as good politics -
tics to avoid another bond issue and
throw he responsibility and necessity
for remedial financial legislation upon
the incoming congress. It was determined -
mined by the president several months
ago that there would be no bond issue
until after the elections , as an issue
previous thereto would have the effect
of strengthening' the hands of the free
silver men and the Populists.
On the other side the syndicate
wishes to avoid any notion which
would have the effect of checking the
steadily increasing busines prosperity.
Tire parties to the present voluntary
combination for the protection of the
treasury gold reserve are almost entirely -
tirely within the list of banks that
were allowed to pitrtcipate in the
handling- the last lend issue.
LAND FRAUDS CHARGED.
A Wyoming State Senator Warns Secretary -
tary Smith to Investigate.
CHEYENNE , Wyo. , Sept. 23.-Robert
Foote , state senator of Johnson
county , has wri : en an open letter
to Secretary Smith of the interior -
terior department , exposing what he
chara 4 , ' rites as 'one of the most
gigan' c and glaring frauds of the
age" which is about to be committed -
mitted , lie says , in Wyoming , under
the Carey arid land law. Ile says
that all the waters of the streams
in the Big horn basin were parceled
out t. ) members of the "state ] and
ring" by the state engineer and companies -
panies nave been formed which propose -
pose to charge to settlers for water
rights $10 per acre which are not
worth over $10. The lands which the
state authorities have asked to have
set apart under the Carey law are not
desert lands as contemplated in the act
of congress , Mr. Foote asserts. In
conclusion the senator says the design
is to create a system of peonage or ten-
antry-at-wiil in our rich valley's where
honorable and independent manhood
should be found.

875,000 of Indian Funds wont.
WASIUNGTON , Sept 23.-Colonel D.
M. Ross , of Guthrie , Ok. , spent five
hours on the witness stand trying to

payment to the Choctaw and Chickasaw -
asaw Indians for their shadow
claim to the Cheyenne and Arapahoe -
hoe lauds in Oklahoma. Colonel Ross
stated that he had paid $10,000 to one
olonel Parsons of'.Maryland , who has
been a member of the state legislature
and voted for Gorman , and who is generally -
erally believed to be the fine financial
manipulator of Senator Gorman in
certain western legislative matters.
This $10,000 he paid I'arsons was for
Parsons himself , as Colonel Ross
stated. Then Colonel Ross says he set
apart $10,000 for himself , and then he
gave Sam Donaldson of Kentucky ,
who was supposed to have a financial
lobby pull in the treasury , $ , o00 , and
the remaining $50,000 he paid to
Colonel Parsons in cash , and it is his
understanding that Parsons paid it out
to certain persons , but not knowing
who they were , he can not explain further -

NO CUBAN. RECOGNITION.
The United States Unlikely to Take Any
Positlvo Action at Present.
WAs11INGToN , Sept. 18.-Save vague
newspaper reports , nothing is known
at the state department of the intention -
tion of any of the governments of the
American republics to recognize the
belligerency of the Cuban revolutionists -
ists , and it is quite certain that no
formal application for such recognition -
tion by the United States has been
made. It is not perceived here how
the insurgents can reap any substantial -
tial advantages at this time for such
recognition. The only comfort that
they would derive would be from the
moral effect of an assent by an indc-
pendent power to the proposition that
they had assumed statehood.
As far as the United States is concerned -
cerned , it took such a pronounced stand
in the case of the late Brazilian insurrection -
rection that it could scarcely recognize -
nize the insurgents in the case of
Cuba at present without a complete
reversal of its position. It has held
that , to entitle them to reeognitionin-
surgents must'set up a seat of government -
ment and maintain it ; that they must
issue money , and must possess a navy
to make effectual any blockade they
wish to establish-in short , that they
must have an actual defacto govern-
ment. The state departmentisnot informed -
formed that any of these requirements
have been met by the Cubans. .
POLITICS AND CRIME :
Professor Warner of California Attacks
the Present Police Systems.
DENVER , Col , , Sept. 13.-At this
morning's session of the national prison -
on congress a paper on "Politics and
Crime , " written by Amos G Warner ,
professor of economics and social science -
ence in the Leland Stanford university
of California , and read by John N.
Dryden of Kearney , Neb. , created a
sensation. "If the state itself is under
the influence of criminals , " wrote Mr ,
'garner "flow can it hope to reform
criminals ? Setting a thief to
catch a thief was an old-time
doctrine , but the plan of setting a
thief to reform a thief has never yet
been defended. The representatives
of the state with which criminals are
most frequently brought into contact
are policemen , police justices , sheriffs ,
sheriffs' deputies and others only a
shade-if at all-better than
- - the crim-
inais , themselves. The hope for the
cure of criminals largely lies in curative -
tive treatment in the early stages
Petty offenders and those on the verge
of criminality in the large cities seldom -
dom or never get beyond this line of
guards , and live more or less in their
presence. The police to them represent -
sent the state. "

DAMAGES FOR LIBEL.
Q Virginia Paper Brought to Terms by
the American Book Company.
I
A dispatch from Norfolk , Va. , says : i
"The American Book company ofew
York has just in the
gained a signal victory y
courts of Virginia and has received an au- _
solute and complete vindication after a Ion ;
and exhaustive trial by special jury in the
Circuit court of this city. The Pilot newspaper - '
paper of this city , upon the awarding of j ,
the contract for school books to the Arner- ,
lean Book c ompany , printed a long article '
written and prepared by R. E. Byrd. an - i ,
n ent and attorney forGinn & Co. , of New
fork , in which it was charged that the l
state superintendent had been bribed by
the American Book company. The Pilot t
ttas immediately sued for libel , and , after I4
a five weeks' trial , which created an im- 1
menso amount of interest throughout the t
state , a verdict for punitive damages was t ,
recently awarded , and the jury found that
the statements made were false and a ' t
deliberate libel. Not only so , but the J
company , upon unimi eachabie evidence , '
was proved to have dealt b9norably and uprightly -
rightly in every particular in their negotia-
Lions with the state officials. It'tvas further - r
er proved at the trial that no better terms j !
had been made with any other state for
school beo' ' s. In fact , the attorney-general 1
of Virginia stated that the American Book
company seemed totltrowopcntheirwhole r
business to us , ' and after full and complete ' ' I
examination of all the original contracts I I
made with the various states he expressed
himself as absolutely satisfied that the
prices were the same in all cases and that
no discrimination whatever had been made '
against the state of Virginia. Furthermore
ho mentioned that none of t e statements ,
of the American Book company had been t = t
accepted until every one of their had been
absolutely verified by direct reference to
the governors of sonic fifteen states , with '
whom contracts had been made. This
proved conclusivelythatthere resentatfons
of the American
Book company were correct -
rect in toto. This celebratecae has thus.
ended in a complete triumph in every respect - ' 1
spect for the American Book company , nd
r
has show n in clear contrast the clean and
business-like methods I
in which they carry
on their great industry nas compared with
the attempted use political pulls and I
misstateaoats by their . "
