" Suggestions to Teachers. State Superintendent Corbett coin- mends to the careful attention of all persons interested in educational matters - ters a circular on the subject of Library day. For Nebraska public schools Library day has been set for Monday , October 21. A suggestionn is made for the teachers : 'One of the ways is to prepare a program in which teacher , children and some of the patrons take part. Another is a program in which every family represented in the school presents - sents a story , an essay , a recitation , a declamation , or something for the entertainment - tertainment of the people of the community - munity who are invited for the even- ing. A third is for the teacherr to prepare - pare a talk or lecture on the books selected for the pupils' reading course by the Reading Circle board and give this on the evening of Library day teas as many old and young , as can be induced - duced to come. A fourth plan is to give out five or six of the Pupils' Reading - ing circle books to a number of the most earnest and intelligent men and women ( one to each ) in thc'distriet on educational matters and ask each to make an eight or ten minute talk on 'What I found in the book for chil- dren. ' These talks with music by the school , or by some of the people of the community , in connection with the talk of the teacher , would form apleas. ant and nrofitable evening. Ask the school authorities to buy a part or all of the set selected by the Reading Circle board for the pupils , as the deeds of the school and the ability of the dis trict may demand. " Wantelfor Seventeen Tear' . Sheriff J P.Wetherford of Oskaloosa , Ran. , was in Lincoln last week to procure - cure requisition papers for Jim Daugh- erty , who is wanted in the Sunflower state for assisting in robbing a bank at Nortonville. ICan. , in 1SS2. Governor Holcomb granted the papers , and the sheriff : left yesterday afternoon for Falls City , Neb. , where he has located Daugherty. The crime for which Daugherty is wanted was committed by him , Poke Wells and another pal. Wells was shot dead by a watchman. Daugherty and his other pal were captured. While in jail Daugherty got possession of two revolvers with which he held up the jailor and made his escape. Since that time the officers have been following him to get the $2.000 reward offered for his apprehension. He was located in Kansas City once , but begot wind of the pursuit and escaped before the officers could land him. He was tracked to Falls City by Sheriff Weth- . . erford. Daugherty is a desperate criminal , and the sheriff expected trouble in arresting him. Wisner Wouian ComniIts Suicide. Wisner dispatch : Mrs. W. 1' .

THE E Hfla HIRR SENATOR MAKES BIMETALLIC PROMISES COMES OUT IN A LETTER. Republicans Declared to lie Pledged to the Use , of Both Gold and Sliver- Tile Democratic Leaders Classed as Uncompromising Gold Standard Men-Wants a Conference Called. DExvElt , Col. , Oct. 11.-In a letter to T. C. Clayton , secretary of tlae Republican - publican state league of Colorado , urging - ing Republicans of this state to stand firmly with the national organization , Senator Chandler of New llampslire } says : "The Republican party will go into the presrdential battle pledged to bimetallisin which I believe , as sure as right is right , will win. On the other hand the Democratic leaders- the men who dominate and control its national influence , patronage and or- ganization-are gold monometallists. President Cleveland and his ahninis- tration are absolutely in the hands of Mr. Pierpout Morgan and his syndicate of foreign bankers ; they are against silver as a money metal and they are cmmnitted to gold mono- metallism. With the patronage of the government , with money manipulated by William C. Whitney and Calvin S. Brice the Democracy are hopelessly subjugated ; and their next national convention will be as hostile to the principles of bimetallism as are the English creditors who propose to exact the pound of flesh from their debtors in all parts of the world. It is the height of folly for any bimetallist to conceive that anything but gold mono- metallism can come front another Democratic national victory. We bi metallists outmmnber the gold mono. mctallists of the world 100 to hand need not fear that we will not eventually succeed. With a practical suggestion I close. A bimetallic convention held in the United States will be attended by representatives from all Western hemisphere governments and from the governments of Russia , France , Japan and China. Bimetallic organizations - izations in Canada , India and every other country will send delegates. The decision of the conference that the nations should coin silver without limit at the ratio of 15) ) < to 1 will be irresistible , even by England and Germany. Our congress should call a conference and provide for paying its " expenses. PARKHURST'S POSITION. Although Sadly Disappointed lie ' . 'ili Support ( he Fusioa Ticket. NEW YORK , Oct. 11.-lev. Dr. Park- hurst yesterday broke the silence which he has maintained on polities since the fusion ticket was formed and stated this views on the situation. In his statement Dr. Parkliurst said : " \'itli the outcome of the efforts that have been made at fusion 1 am sadly disappointed. We are not satisfied - fied to be told of a candidate that there is nothing in particular that can be said against him. Negation and colorlessness does not level up to the grade of popular demand "Whatever there may be in the situation - ation that is faulty or deplorable we are ; tot t iereby absolved from the obhgation restilig upon us as citizens to gatier : ourselves up from any perplexity - plexity rota which we may have been thrown from the unexpected to re- me n1er that altered contingencies have not nmodified the essential elements - ments in the case , and that whatever other enemies there may be that will be required to be knocked down when their turn comes , it is neither robust citizenship or good strategy to concentrate - trate this year upon any other enemy than time one we all combined to par- .tlZC last year-Tammany hall. In- terestiug as it would be to get all the birds of prey onto one branch and aim at general effects , yet bhuhderbus fighting is a mode of musketry that is neither the most economical nor the nest effective. One enemy killed is better than half a dozen enemies Scorched. 'i'hough I repudiate a portion - tion of the fusion platform and thought shall not neglect to scratch one or nore uwmres on the fusion ticket , yet that fact is no seabbar(1 into which I shall thrust my sword that is already reel with the tiger's blood.

V l . - - . - A TORCH AND DYNAMITE. Cuban Insurgents Destroying Plantatlons and Wrecking Brldges KEY WEST , Fla. , Oct. 14.-Anarchy practically prevails on the island of Cuba according to letters received here. The Spanish are powerless , and outside of large cities , l1he Havana , there is not even a pretense of govern- ment. Bands of insurgents roam at will , destroying sugar plantations and dynamiting railroad bridges. It seems to be the determination of the insurgents - gents to destroy everything that would aid Spain in sustaining herr army. In carrying out this policy time torch is being appliel to the sugar plantations. In Santa Clara province alone six of the largest plantations have been burned. The torch has also been applied - plied to the tobacco fields in certain districts. If the insurgents continue this policy , it will be but a short time until there will be nothing left iii Cuba on which to sustain an army. The mail service is completely. demoralized. The insurgents have waylaid and taken many mail carriers , hoping to capture important dispatches. The carriers have become terrorized , and scores have resigned. Recently two Spanish mail carriers tvcre captured by insurgents under liaceo and hanged. So great is the fear of the carriers that none will venture forum unless accompanied - panied by armed guards. Whenever a carrier starts with an important dispatch - patch he is escorted by a company of soldiers. From the penal colonies in Southern Spain a battalion of criminals has been organized and placed under the cons- mand of Colonel Garrido , who butchered the sick insurgents a few weeks ago. Timis battalion is known as the "squadron of death , " because it has earned the title by killing women and children a , well as the inmates of hospitals. Garrido , with his force will enter a village and place the women - men and children in front of them as a breastwork ; then , when the Cubans come , they will dare them to fire , but will themselves shoot over time wo- men's heads.

P t -3..y..k. : t. , - _ - . . B . INSURRECTION SPAIN TO ACT PROMPTLY IN CRUSHING IT. Senatlonal Rumor Concerning Wnrnings of Unk Ie Sam-The Spanish Minister at Washington Said to have Notified His Government that This Country Will Act Unless the Cuban Itebelliou Is Soon Suppressed. Madrid Much Excited. SYAsnlNGTos , Oct. :2.-A cable message - sage from Madrid received here early this morning said that it was reported there on the best of autlicrity that the American government had notified the Spanish minister at Washington that it was necessary for Spain to at promptlyy in crushing the Cuban insurrection - surrection , and that the report caused a profound sensation m Madrid. The truth of the report cannot be confirmed at the state department. The oficials , when approached , would neither affirm nor deny the story , though their manner would indicate disapproval of its accuracy. It is believed - lieved quite probable that representations - tions may have been made to Spain of the wisdom of aggressive and active operations against the Cuban insurgents - ents , but it is thought that the United States government did not make these suggestions , and that , if made , they came from Minister DeLome and were based on his personal views of the situation and on his observation of the trend of sentiment in the United States and his knowledge of the purpose - pose of the friends of the insurgents to press their cause vigorously soon after the assembling of congress. Daily events point strongly to a determination - termination to force the question on the attention of congress in the belief that the legislative channel affords ' the most practicable route tq the accomplishment - complishment of something in behalf of Cuban independence. the executive branch of the government , in the very nature of things , being more constrained - strained in its action than the lecisla - V tive department. Senar DeLome left here to-day on a very early train , and therefore - information - formation could be gained from kiln concerning tihe Madrid ( lspatch. Till : roric.or 'rills CoCN'rln . Senor DeLome , the Spanish mn- ! ister , had a short interview with Secretary Olney yesterday. and in the course of their conversation the mln- ister , perhaps in answer to time secre- tary's inquiry , made a statement that operations in Cuba would be conducted with greater vigor hereafter. As the president must certainly make some reference to the insurrection in his annual message to congress when it i meets in December , it would be but natural that Secretary Olney , upon whom lie must rely for his information - tion , should take steps to gather data upon which to base a judgment of probable future events. While it is true that President Grant did , as indicated in his messages to congress , entertain a belief that intervention - vention in the then. progressing rebellion - lion in Cuba would be justifiable , this view was never acceptable to Sccrs- tary Fish , and it has not secured time adherence of international lawyers. The whole weight of authority is decidedly - cidedly adverse to the assertion by a neutral nation of a right to say when war between two combatants has progressed to a point where it must be stopped. It may be reealle(1 that some such proposition tvas made during the last stages of the China-.Japanese war , but it never event further than time exercise of the good offices of time interested nations to bring about peace , which function is entirely distinct from direct interven- tion. The question is also separate from that of the recognition of the belligerence of the insurgents , which , according to American policy and practice , must be determined purely by the facts in each case. 1 DEBS CONTRADICTED. the Illinois Federation of Labor Nut Against lnatiwa } Brotlierheods.
