BALLOTS SIEZED ,
Scrgeant-at-Arm * and a House Commlttoi
Talce l'ossesnlon.
Lincoln dispatch : The house of rep
rcsontatives is in possession of tin
ballots cast at the last November elec
tion on the propositions to amend tin
constitution of the state. At a feu
minutes before 7 on the evening of tin
17th a committee of the bouse , witl
the sergeant-at-arms and his assistant
forced their way into the room when
the members of the canvassing boart
were watching the ballot boxes , am
the committee in the name of the leg
islature , took possession.
The members of the board protested
and they with two guards that hac
been on watch endeavored to prevent
the sergeant-at-arms and the commit
tee from carrying out their purpose.
The six canvassers and their twe
guards were powerless to prevent tin
others from carrying out their plan.
and now the ballots are locked up ir
the big vault at the state house undei
watch of the sergeant-at-arms and his
assistant.
The resolution authorizing the seiz
ure of the ballots was presented to the
house by Sheldon of Dawes county and
was in this form :
' • That the committee heretofore ap
pointed to confer with a like com
mittee from the senate relative to the
recount of the ballots cast for the con
stitutional amendment be and is hereby
authorized and empowered to at once
proceed to the office of the secretary of
state and in conjunction with him , the
said secretary of state , take possession
of and hold until further order of this
house all the ballots , poll books , tally
sheets , abstracts now in the possession
of the said secretary , under and by
virtue of 'an act to recount the ballots
cast on the constitutional amendment
relating to the judges of the supreme
court and their term of office of Novem
ber . ' , 180(3 ( , to compare said ballots ,
declare the result and fix the penalty
for violation of the provisions of this
act , ' which act was -passed by the
Twenty-fifth session of the legislature
and approved the 20th day of February ,
18 ! > 7. Said committee is hereby author
ized , empowered and directed in case
of resistance to summon to its aid the
sergeant-at-arms of this house and to
use till force necessary to gain posses
sion and hold possession of said ballots ,
poll books , tally sheets and abstracts ,
until further order of this house. "
Senator Heal introduced in the sen
ate a resolution providing for the
appointment of a committee of the
senate to act with a like committee of
the house to devise ways and means
for carrying on the count which had
been suspended under the injunction
issued by the district court jiidge , C.
L. Half of Lancaster county. This
resolution was adopted and the lieu
tenant governor appointed Senators
Ueal , Mutz and Feltz on the committee.
The respective committees held a con
ference which resulted in an agree
ment that the legislature must take
possession of the ballots and conduct
the count. No other plan was consid
ered practicable , for all other plans
left the canvassers exposed to the in
terference of the delays by the
restraining orders obtained through
the courts. Accordingly the poll boxes
were taken possession of in the man
ner before stated. Gov. Holcomb , it is
said , will present .to each house a bill
. • ailing for a recount by a legislative
committee. He will include a call
for a r'count of two more amend
ments , the amendment providing for
: he investment of the permanent
school fund and another placing three
• ailroad commissioners in the list of
; he elective" officers. Further move-
nents are looked forward to with a
jreat deal of interest.
L.vtki : . There have been no exciting
levelopments over the controversy re
garding recount of the constitutional
imendments. The ballots have re
named in the fire proof vault in the
> flice of the secretary of state.
L'he doors of the room in which
he vault is located arc locked
ind the sergeant-at-arms of the
louse or one of his deputies is con-
itantly on guard to ward off an au-
icipatcd attack. There will be a bill
nti'oduced in the house
or senate pro
viding for counting the liallots and
lecturing the result of the election on
he proposition to adopt amendments
o the constitution. The form and
ubstance of tin- , bill was agreed
ipon in a joint caucus of the
usion members of the house and
enate. The caucus had before it
[ raft of a bill wliich had been prepared
o meet the suggestions contained in
he governor ' s message. The question
if whether a bill or a joint resolution
hould be adopted was discussed at
ome length , and it was agreed that
he latter would be best. It was agreed
hat the bill should provide that the
( allots be taken charge of by a joint
ommittee of four members of the
louse and three members of the senate
, nd counted. It will provide that one
epublican from each house may be
ppointed. There is no limit as to the
iray in which the canvass is to be
omplcted. It is provided that the aet
if February 20. ISO" , be repealed and
he members of the committee may
mploy as many clerks as may be
leccssary to do the work.

Alfalfa Growing : in Favor.
One of the most favorable signs of

he remarkable change that has taken

ppears to be liked.

Special Correspondence.
Washington , Feb.
The way * * and means committee h
still struggling with the interests otth *
farmers. It announces that it will noi
be able to complete the tariff bill dur
ing the present session of congress , ant
v. 'ill probably not have it ready foi
presentation until the next congress
meets in special session , which is ex
pected to be about March 1& . No de
termination has yet been reached on
the sugar schedule , but on all farm
products which have been taken ur
and acted upon the interests of the
farmers have been very thoroughly
protected. McKinley law rates have
been restored in most cases and this
seems to have been just about the de
sire of the farmers. It is observed
that those representatives of the farm
ers who came before the committee
in most case ; recommended the restor
ation of the rates of that law , and this
recommendation has been followed as
far as possible. It has been suggested
that the committee in framing the rates
on sugar should give to the beet sugar
industry some greater encouragement
than is given cane sugar. This sugges
tion is based upon the assumption that
beeet sugar is , in fact , an "infant in
dustry , " while cane sugar has been pro
duced in this country for many years
and does not require the encourage
ment for its extension that the beet
sugar industry needs. While the mem
bers of the committee recognize this
fact and would be glad to extend this
special encouragement to the produc
tion of beet sugar in the northwestern
states where beet growing is practi
cable , they are finding it extremely dif
ficult to devise any way by which it
can be accomplished. It is scarcely ex
pected that the bounty system will be
made a feature of the new law , and it
will , of course , be impossible to so
hape the tariff that beet sugar would
derive any greater encouragement than
cane sugar fr-jm the rates of duty lev
ied.
ied.The
The committee is still undetermined ,
and it may be added somewhat em
barrassed in regard to the wool sched
ule. The extremely high hates of pro
tection demanded by the Wool Grow
ers' Association are looked upon as
likely , if adopted , to result in such an
increase in prices of woolen goods as
to prove not only unpopular , but abso
lutely unjust to all other classes of pop
ulation outside of the comparatively
few who are engaged in wool produc
ing. It is in the effort to strike the
"golden mean" between the extremely
high tariff demanded by the wool pro
ducers and Lie low rates desired by the
manufacturers that the committtee is
now engaged
Washington on the Tariff.
The fact that Washington's birthday
was celebrated in the midst of a tariff
discussion by the ways and means
committee has suggested to somebody
an investigation of his record and views
upon this great question of protection ,
.vhich is under consideration just at the
time that his birthday is being cele
brated. This investigation develops
the fact that he was a firm believer
in that cardinal doctrine of the Repub
lican party protection. At the very
aeginning of his career as President ,
n his first message to congress he rec
ommended a protective tarifL' and that
; ongress made its first measure a pro-
.cctive tariff bill as is shown by its
n-eamble , which reads :
"Whereas it is necessary for the sap-
lort of the government for the ( lis- j
rhargc of the debt of the United States
tnd for the encouragement and prosec-
ion of manufacturers that duties be
aid upon imported goods , etc. , There-
ore , be it enacted , " etc. This bill
'resident Washington not only signed ,
nit he showed his full confidence in a
irotective sentiment by the following
tatement in his first annual message
n speaking of our people as a free peo-
ile :
"Their safety and interest require
hat they promote such manufactures
s tend to render them independent of
ttaers for essentials , particularly mili
ary supplies. "
In his seventh annual message he
hews that our "agriculture , commerce
nd manufactures prosper beyond ex-
rnple ( under tue tariff of 1789) ) . Every
art of the Union displays indications
f rapid and various improvement ,
nd with burdens so light as to be
carcely perceived. Is it too much to
ay that our country exhibits a spec-
icle of national happiness never sur-
assed if ever before equaled ? "
In his eighth and last annual message
Washington said :
"Congress has repeatedly and not
• ithout reason directed their attention
i the encouragement of manufactures ,
'he object is of too much consequence
ot to insure a continuance of their ef-
artf in every way which shall appear
ligible. "
IMishlnj- International liimctallism.
International bimetallism has been
tuch discussed here during the past
2W days , and the discussion has shown
wo or three interesting facts. One of
tiese in the determination of the Re-
ublican leaders to maintain absolutely
lie pledge of the Republican party with
eference to this subject. While a
andful of. the representatives of the
Teat financial centers opposed action
n the senate authorizing the appoint-
aent of delegates to an international
onference they were as nothing com-
lared with the overwhelming wnti-
tient of the party and of the leaden- 1
he party in fa\or of doing all that can [
55
- - - " * - * * *
be done In behalf of international ac
tion. While it is a fact that a surpris
Ingly large proportion of the newspa
pers of the country profess the belie
that international action for the rehab
Uitation of silver as money metal ttpoi
an equality with gold is impossible
nevertheless the leaders of the Repub
Mean party and its representatives ii
congress are determined to movi
steadily forward in the line outlinet
by state conventions and pledged b :
the Republican national convention ir
the year 18 % as well as that of the yeai
1892.
1892.That
That the Republicans of the countrj
generally hav j expected and demandct
this course of action and that th <
pledge male by the national conven
tion was in recognition of this demant
on the part of the people is shown b\
a compilation of Republican state plat
forms of the year 1896 , which has re
cently been made and brought to the
attention of members of congress and
others interested in this subject. Thai
compilation shows that the Republican
conventions in thirty of the forty-five
states declared either explicitly or by
implication in favor of international
action on the silver question , and also
declared in equally explicit terms that
individual action by the United States
without international aid would be un
availing. This latter feature of these
state declarations is especially inter
esting because it was a declaration by
the wisest Republicans of two thirds
of the states prior to the meeting of
the national convention that an indi
vidual attempt by the United States to
restore silver to its primary relation to
gold would be unsuccessful and disas
trous , but that united action with other
nations was advisable. The states
whose platforms thus declared contain
fifty million of the seventy million in
habitants of the United States and con
tributed practically three-fourths of
the members of the electoral college
and two-thirds of that number cast
their electoral votes for McKinley.
These facts when brought to the at
tention of members of congress have
strengthened the sentiment in favor of
the pending measure authorizing Presi
dent McKinley to appoint delegates to
an international conference and to call
one if neeessssry.

It is difficult to regard Bryan's new
book seriously. A book to be useful in
any sense should be calculated to meet
in some measure a public want. It
should not only deal with topics of
widespread intsrest , but it should con
tain seme hew thoughts , or at least put
old thoughts in a new way. "The First
Battle" meets none of these require
ments. The only excuse for its ap
pearance is to be found in the consum
mate egotism of the author , and the
prominence which this characteristic
is given is insufferable. The book con
tains a biographical sketch of Mr.
Bryan from the pen of his wife , and a
history of the campaign , the greater
part of which is taken up with Bryan's
speeches at the various points along his
remarkable campaign tour. While it
would not be expected that Mr. Bryan
should write this history without some
i-eference to himself , yet the self-lauda
tion with which every page abounds is
nauseating. He cannot disguise the
fact that he was "tickled" with the
publicity which his- nomination gave
liim.

The rise of the price of wheat last
all to something like " 50 cents a bushel
ibove the level of prices then prevail-
ng , has been maintained since then ,
mtil within the past two or thi'ee
veeks , when it has fallen somewhat.
This has caused some apprehension
est the price may fall to- the old level.
These apprehensions , we think , , are1 not
veil founded.
The rise in wheat last year "was an
• bject lesson to the farmers o the
ountry , showing them that the price
if wheat bears no relation to the price
if silver , and thus nullifying one a the
eading arguments of the free silver
iropagandists. It proved , to. > those who
leeded the proof , that supply and de-
oand are the factors which • control
irices. and that nothing else has any-
hing to do with their rise or fall.
The prospects for the wheat supply
uring the coming season are such that
ny decline in the price is nol to be
aoked fot.
