H ( Washington Letter. )
B The Bryan and Bailey factions of
K the democracy are continuing to make
H faces at each other across the hall of
B the house of representatives at Wash-
H ingtoh. The followers of Itepresenta-
B live .McMillan who wanted to keep up
H the combination made with the Popu-
H lists last fall and support the sock-
B less Simpson in his attacks upon Speak-
H or Reed , were mercilessly spanked by
B the Bailcyitcs in caucus the other day.
H The populist leader appealed to the
H Democrats for their co-operation in his
H joust at Speaker Reed , and a few of the
HH Bryan followers had the temerity to
B i respond to the call when "Speaker"
Bj Bailey adjourned the house , called a
B caucus in five minutes and after read-
HH - ing the riot act to the Bryanites voted
H them down two to one and adopted a
HH resolution ordering them to desist
BB from further co-operation with the
II Populists , at least in the matter then
BB under consideration.
Bh The e Democrats who were at first
Hh inclined to exult over their party's suc-
flj cesses in the recent municipal clec-
fl tions , are finding the figures cold com-
| : S fort. In Chicago they were unable to
Mm at a11 increase their vote and only held
BB their own in numbers by reason of the
BB fact that a large number of those who
always vote against them in nation
al elections co-operated with them on
this occasion on purely local issues.
I This was found to be the case every
where. National issues cut no fig
ures at all in the municipal elections
while in the state of Rhode Island in

* H3 | Igf A Week of Good Work.
B | i Tariff and bimetallism , those two
B | 1 great issues of the campaign , have
B J ! been prominently at the front during
B J ! the present week in Washington. And
B II those people who doubted or professed
B I to doubt the sincerity of the profes-
B } | sions of the Republican party on either
H | Ip of these subjects have found that they
m \h \ were mistaken. A thoroughly protec-
H | | | tive tariff , one which looks after the
B m | | interests of the farmer and the work-
II ing man ; that is what the new Dingley
f | act is to be when it gets upon the
i I statute books , what it is , in fact , to-
, I day , fpr the probabilities are that it
I will be little changed by the senate.
| Earnest and intelligent efforts in be-
_ j & j half of international bimetallism that
B I is wibat this week's work means upon
H § that subject. The appointment of the
Hj I commission whose names have already
Hj | I been given the public assures prompt ,
j I vigorous , and , it is to be hoped , suc-
B j cessful work.
B Tlio IJimetallic Commission.
H The appointment of Senator Wolcott
H of Colorado , ex-Vice-President Steven-
H son of Illinois , and Hon. C. J. Paine of
j B Massachusetts as commissioners to
H pave the way for an international con-
H ference has been cordially commend-
M j ed. "Until this week nobody knew
H | definitely what the president's plans
H were in regard to this question. It
M was known that he was extremely anx-
B ious to take the proper steps toward
M carrying out the pledge of the party
B looking to international consideration
H of the silver question , but just how he
| proposed to bring this about or to take
fl the initiative , nobody was able to say.
| It now appears that , as usual , he has
B chosen the wise plan and one most
B likely to be successful. Not only has
M he chosen the plan most likely to be

M i * most successful. By this is .eant that

B I thus inaugurated the international con-
B i ference will be brought to the doors of

B Kinley's hope is that it may be prac-
M ticable to hold this conference in the
H United States and in the city of Wash-

| l , American citizen Avill have the full

H arises. It will be as though the me * >
M ' ing of the representatives cf the great

B yard. With press associations carry-
PJH i ing the full proceedings of the confer-
JpJ ence and the hundreds of special cor-
B , respondents in Washington comment-
m ' ing upon the proceedings in the pa-
B pers which they represent , every citi-
m zen who feels the slightest interest in
B j this question would be able -follow
1 the proceedings and study them in their
| proper light , thus knowing for himself
H that the work was well done. The
B commissioners who are .to go abroad
| to try to bring about an agreement for
| a conference are highly commended by
H members of all parties as especially
H judicious selections. Mr. Wolcott , by
H reason of his long study of the question -
| ' tion and discussion on two previous
H ' trips abroad of this same subject , will
H be of much greater value than any man
H who has not had these experienced ;
H ex-Vice-President Stevenson repre-
P B senting the silver element of the de-1
B mocracy and well known by reputa-
H tion and in person abroad will instantly
H command attention , while Mr. Paine ,

the summer and keep the business of
the country in an unsettled condition
awaiting final action , .are to be disap
pointed. The next week or ten days
at the furthest are likely to see the
bill perfected by the Republican mem
bers of the finance committee and it Is
likely to get into the senate before the
month ends. Prospects now seem to
be good for u final vote upon it in
June and its completion in time that it
may go into effect at the beginning of
the fiscal year July 1st.
The changes made by the senate com
mittee are much less in extent and
importance than had been expected.
The pressure for a reduction in the du
ties on wool has not been successful
thus far and the chances seem to be
that they will not be. The demand
of the sugar trust for changes in the
schedule advantageous to them has
been promptly rejected. The wail of
the standard oil trust and of sundry
other corporations of this character
have passed unnoticed. These Demo
crats and Populists and other enemies
of the Republican party who had hoped
to be able to make political capital un
charging that the tariff bill was favor
able to corporations and trusts are dis
appointed. And they will continue to
be disappointed.

ISusincss Itcvival.
The wholesale merchants of Kansas
City report that they received larger
and more numerous orders in the
month of March than they received in
any month of last • year. In nearly every
branch of trade there is more activity ,
with indications that things will grow
better from this time forward. Such
reports as these are the best eyidence
that a healthful revival of business is
at hand. Many retailers have not yet
experienced any substantial gain in
business , but their trade is less rapidly
affected by improved conditions. The
wholesalers first feel the effects of re
stored confidence and the release of
hoarded money. Such evidence as they
give refutes the taunts of those who
demand spectacular results , as if there
had been any promise that the new ad
ministration would witness an imme
diate revival of all the interests that
flourished before the great depression.
The most hopeful change is that indi
cated by the gradual increase in the
volume of trade , for that denotes natu
ral and conservative enterprise. There
is nothing fictitious about the improve
ment in business conditions , whatever
the scope of that improvement may be.
But when it is shown that in a single
state 100,000 more men are employed
now than were employed before No
vember last , and when large dealers
make like comparisons between the
trade at this time and that before the
presidential election , the pessimists
ind the sneerers should be silent.

"Inexcusable Cowardice. "
The men who style themselves "sil
ver Republicans" have told the country
, vhy they refused to vote on one side
) r the other on the Dingley bill when
hat measure passed the house. "We
; ook this course , " said Representative
lavtman , of Montana , "to prevent the
liversion of the great issue of current
politics from silver to the tariff. Our
) bject was to emphasize the fact that
; he tariff is not and can not be made
; he main issue , and to give warning
; hat the silver people will not accept
; he tariff as the paramount question
) f the time. " According to the same
uithority another reason for the refusal
; o vote was that the joint caucus of the
3opulists of both branches of congress
md a private conference of the Teller-
tes urged this inaction.
This is presumption and cowardice
) f a particularly inexcusable character.
Y handful of men arrogate to them
selves in their prejudice and blindness
he right to dictate to the great body
) f congress what is and what is not
in issue , without having the courage or
: apactiy to reveal their position in a
nanly and practical way. St. Louis
llobe-Democrat.
Trouble for Two.
Two classes of people have failed to
irosper since the election of McKinley.
Dne of these classes is composed of sil
ver advocates , the other the trusts. The
election of McKinley and the rejection
af the free silver proposition started
'
similar action by some other nations
which had been looked to as support-
2rs of the silver theory , and the friends
af free coinage have witnessed with
dismay the transfer of Japan , Russia
and China to the gold standard col
umn. The trusts have also fared as
badly. The railroad corporations ,
the sugar trust , the standard oil trust
and many minor organizations of this
character have received stunning blows
within the few months since the elec
tion of 1896 , and will suffer still more
when the new tariff law goes into ef
fect and deprives them of the advan
tages which they have enjoyed under
the Wilson law.
Wilson's Wail.
Ex-Postmaster-General Wilson , • in
continuation of his protest against the
new tariff bill , has evidently persuad-
sd himself that the measure will in
some way be injurious to the farmers.
He doesn't tell why or how , but he
bints at an explanation in this vague
and uncertain way :
"For thirty years the farmer was de
luded by the cry of a 'home market , '
and of the benefit in store for him from
'bringing the factory to the farm. '
Factories were built up , but he saw
them filled , not with living consumers
of his products , but chiefly with ma
chinery of iron and steel. "
Mr. Wilson's sneer at the "home mar-
k'et" idea is distinctly that of the free
trade theorist who imagines that it is
better for the American farmer to sell
one bushel of grain to English buyers
m 1 iiw iimnnww WWHi'lMMMi ' ' i iumwiiKimriim
RRVQMMMMPVBMBHMHHIMMnBHnflSHHHHIBBMMI
than it is to sell three bushels to Amer
ican consumers. The fact that the
home market absorbs 80 per cent of
our agricultural products counts for
nothing with Mr. Wilson. He doesn't
consider that this market needs or de
serves any protection , and he would
neglect itor impair its purchasing
'
power by forcing its industrial ele
ments into wage-cutting competition
with foreign labor. The farmer's real
interest lies in a system that will main
tain and expand the domestic demand
for his produce , and this is to be found
in a tariff that will open the mills , pro
vide employment for labor and encour
age the extension of native enterprise.
Agricultural prosperity cannot exist
without industrial prosperity. They
are dependent on each other. When
one thrives the other will thrive with
it , and the man who attempts to con
vince the farmer and the mechanic
that their interests are conflicting is
an enemy to both. Mail and Express.
Save the 8100,000,000.
A payment of about $100,000,000 an •
nually to foreign countries for a pro
duct adapted to our own soil and cli
mate is plainly an .industrial . error.
Within the last ten years attention hat !
been directed to this wasteful method-
of conducting business , and signs am
multiplying that the proper remedies
will be applied. Last year every pound
of wheat and flour exported was re
quired to pay for the sugar imported
Our exports of cotton were only dou
ble the value of the sugar imported
The value of all exports of live anil-
dressed beef , beef products and lard
just about balanced that of the suga !
bought abroad. It is now known be
yond question that the sugar beet can
be grown in many of our states and of
a quality unsurpassed anywhere. Ths
genius of Americans in the use or ma
chinery is an assurance that the sugar
beet factories will return good divi
dends. What measure of protection
should be granted by the government
is a subject to be considered with care ,
Meantime , states and localities are dis
posed to encourage the new industry
with so many millions in it. St. . Louis
Globe-Democrat.
The Senate and the House.
Generally speaking , whatever the
house is enthusiastically in favor of the
senate regards with cool and critical
calmness , and vice versa. In the same
way , no matter how much in sympathy
the congress may be with the execu
tive , it is sure to guard jealousy its
rights in all financial matters. It is
said that President McKinley has a
comprehensive plan of currency reform
which he will recommend in his mes
sage next December. As the President
is an old hand in congressional mat
ters having in that a huge advantage
aver Mr. Cleveland he ought to know
that no congress will be likely to fol
low the dictates of the President in any
naatter of taxation or finance. Already
; he men who hope to be on the house
committee on banking and currency
ind the senators on the finance com-
nittee are saying that they understand
.heir own business , and propose to
) riginate any currency scheme which
s presented to the country. Illustrated
\merican.
Factories and Protection Sentiment.
The springing up of factories
throughout the south has been fol
lowed by a growth of protective senti
ment and Republican membership in
2ongress from that section. More than
thirty votes from the south were cast
for a protective tariff measure in the
liouse , and the southern states had
thirt3'three Republican members in
last congress , while in no preceding
congress had the party been represent-
2d by more than half that number from
: hat section. When Democrats from
North and South Carolina , Alabama ,
Mississippi , Louisiana , and Texas join
with the Republicans in supporting
protective views and a protective tariff
bill , there can remain no doubt of the
growth of Republican principles in that
section.
.Vivo IJad Months for Silver.
The five months since the election
liave been bad ones for the silver cause ,
lapan , to which the silver people were
accustomed to point as the most bril
liant exponent of the advantages of
the free coinage of silver , has adopted
the gold standard at the ratio of 32 to
L. Russia , which was accounted a sil
ver country , has announced that she
is going to the gold standard. China ,
which , with her 400,000,000 people.was
accounted in the list of silver users ,
announced through her officials a cur
rency change which is equivalent to the
adoption of the gold standard. Truly
these are depressing days for the free
silver theorists.
The only persons who are express
ing dissatisfaction with the new tariff
bill are the foreigners and importers.
Germany , Canada , England , and other
foreign countries are scolding about the
Dingley bill ; so is the reform club , of
York which is made-up
New , principal
ly of importers.
The Reform club of New York is
spreading broadcast over the country
an offer of newspaper plate matter
with which it proposes to attack the
Dingley bill. This is not surprising.
The Reform club is composed mostly
of importers , who naturally want a
low tariff , and are against protection.
The chief objection offered to the
Dingley bill is that it is abiil. The
people want it to become an act and
that very promptly.
Ex-Candidate Bryan called upon
Vice-President Hobart during his re
cent visit to Washington. It is ob
served , however , that he did not call
upon prospective candidate Bailey.

Mutual Tusuranco Ktilnrgpil.
Auditor Cornell has announced a
decision that has long1 been desired by
farmers' mutual fire insurance com
panies. J To decided that such companies
can insure country churches , country
parsonages and country school houses
under section S of the fanners' mutual
insurance law of 1S01.
Auditor Cornell followed this up by
another that town mutual insurance
companies have a right to insure mills
and creameries and stores in the coun
try , under section 11. of house roll No.
3S3 , passed by the last legislature.
Jiuildings of this character , the audi
tor holds , come under the head of
"business property outside " of cities
and villages. * ' A portion of section 11 ,
of house roll No. 1S3 , is as follows :
"Such companies may issue policies
on cities , towns and villages , real or
personal property in this state , also
upon business property outside of cities
and villages , against loss or damage "by
fire , lightning- , tornado , cyclone or
wind storm , for any length of time ,
not exceeding five yeai-s. * '
The auditor ' s decision in regard to
farmers' mutuals insuring country
churches , parsonages and school houses ,
is based on section 8. of the act of IStM ,
which permits risks to be taken on de
tached farm dwellings , barns , except
livery and hotel barns , and other farm
buildings. The auditor holds that
churches , parsonages and school
houses come under the head of "other
farm buildings. " ' When Eugene Moore
was atulitor he permitted farmers' mu
tual insurance companies to insure ice
houses and cold storage houses in the
country , but would not permit risks to
be taken on churches , parsonages and
school houses. House roll No. ; . ' . * )9 cov
ered this point , but it Avas loaded down
with amendments in the senate last
winter and killed. An amendment per
mitting companies to insure and take
promisory notes in payments of pi-e-
iniums is given as the principal reason
why the bill did not pass. The busi
ness of insuring country school houses
and churches is now open to farmers'
mutuals. whereas heretofore only the
old-line companies could compete. It
is considered a large and valuable
field and mutual companies have long
clamored to enter it.
The decision allowing town mutual
insurance companies to insure mills ,
creamery buildings and stores is not
hailed with so much joy by friends of
mutual insurance for the reason that
mills and creameries are considered
hazardous risks.
Nebraska Woman lturiis to Death.
Mrs. Ralph White of Elgin township.
Antelope county , was horribly burned
and died in great agony a few hours
later. Mrs. White was engaged in
burning caterpillars * nests from the
fruit trees , using a kerosene torch.
The fluid dripped on her clothing , set
ting it on fire. She started to the liouse
and got into bed to smother the flames.
To her horror she soon noticed that in
passing she had set fire to the clothing
of her little child and arose to save the
babe. This she accomplished at the
sacrifice of her own life. When the
child was saved she was afraid that the
flames had gained such headwa3' as to
endanger the house and she caught up
the bed clothing- and rushed out of
doors with the hope of smothering' the
flames , but the Avind fanned them to
such fierceness that she was fatally
burned.
The State's Kiprhr. Knocked Ou - .
Notice has been served upon the
state officials that the United States
land office officials ha-e held that the
claim of N. P. Brood to a homestead
right on a part of the old Sioux reser
vation is good as against the claim of
the state on the land for school land.
The papers show that Brood settled
upon the land before it was surveyed ,
in ISli. 'S. and built a house. That he
has lived upon it ever since with his
family and declares his intention of
taking it as a homestead. After it was
surveyed it was found that -it was a
part of section 3 ( > in township 35 north ,
range 13 west. Under the act of con
gress opening the tract to settlement
the sections numbered 1(5 ( and 30 in ,
each congressional township were to ,
be set apart to the state as school land. .
Brood gets his decision under the nil- ;
ing of the land office that b\ ' the pro
visions of another general act his prior ,
settlement in good faith gives him a ,
prior right. In several particulars the i
case is a new one to the land depart
ment , and if the decision is allowed to
stand it will affect a large number of
other claims throughout the country
which were taken under like circum
stances. ,

BARTLEY IN COURT.
Tlio Kx-Stato Treasurer Arriilc c'l to *
Km ] e/zlem.-nt or -TOl.HH l. ( 5.
Joseph S. Bartley , ex-state treasurer ,
was arraigned in the Omaha policu
court before Police .Fudge Gordon
on an information charging the em
bezzlement of S-01S81. ( ) "i of public
funds.He waived a preliminary hear
ing1 aiul was held to the district court
of Douglas county in a bond in the sum
of SSO.OOO.
The necessary bondsmen accom
panied the prisoner to the police court
and the bail bond was immediately
filled out. The signers were W. A.
Paxton. R. II. Townley , secretary of
the Lincoln life association of Lincoln ,
and C. Bevin Old field , manager of the
American chicory compay. Paxton
qualified in the sum of 520,000 , half
real estate and half personal propertj\
Townley qualified for 810,000 , which
was also equally divided between per
sonal property and real estate. Old-
field qualified in the sum of S20.000 , all
personal property.
The information upon wlmh Bartley
was arraigned accused him of embez
zling a maximum of S201.881.05 of state
funds. This amount is mentioned in
tlie last six counts of the information ,
which in all contains eight counts.
This amount , includes the interest on
the original warrant of S180,101.75 at
the rate of 7 per cent , ft is the total
that was paid the New York bank that
purchased the warrant when it return
ed it for collection. In the first two
counts Bartley is charged with the
embezzlement of the face of the war
rant , S1S0,101.75. The amount of this
warrant was appropriated by the 1805
legislature to reimburse the sinking1
fund. Bartley is accused of having ;
sold this warrant , appropriated the
proceeds and to have paid it later with
state money.
Besides this variance in the amounts
charged as embezzled the. counts differ
immaterially. In some Bartley is ac
cused of having committed the embez
zlement in his capacity as state treas
urer and in others of having done so
while in a position in which he was
duly empowered to collect and dis
burse moneys of the state. Some ot
the counts also charge him with hav
ing1 turned over the embezzled amount
to some "corporated body unknown. * '
Horses Die of Kidney DiKease.
An alarming disease has developed
among horses in this vicinity , says a
Winside dispatch. It affects the kid
neys and causes the horses to appear to
be lame on one hind foot. Soon after
this symptom if noticed , the horse gen
erally falls prone on the ground and is
unable to rise. A few , by outward ap
plications , have been helped so that
they have apparently recovered , but
most have died in a few days , partial
paralysis setting in and the horse not
seeming to suffer much pain. As many
as fifteen fine animals have succumbed
to the disease near town , and many
more are reported to have died in the
country. Some people think the trouble
is caused by feeding millet and others
ascribe it to the dam ] ) weather , while
still others think the breaking down of
the kidneys has been caused by the
extra exertions horses have been oblig
ed to make this year on account of the
unusual mud. The fatality is especi
ally alarming" from the fact that very
few horses are beiii" ; raised now , mak
ing it probable that good horses will
be very scarce soon , and consequently
valuable. No effectual remedy lias yet
been found for this equine disease.

Fruit Prospects Good.
Fruit prospects are better now than
3r several years , says a Juniata dis-
atch. All kinds show an exceedingly
eavy bloom , and if not injured by
rest or otherwise , there will be fruit
i great abundance. Especially is this
d of the cherry and plum. The farm-
rs are nearly done seeding- and are
ushing the preparation for corn plant- *
lg. Wheat and rye look well and the
round is in such good condition that
verybody is looking forward to a 3
lost bountiful harvest of all kinds ol j ;

kept his position ' ' H
toward the bun- H

is. with the heads towards his left M
hand ; hence , in making the tuck he M
rhoved the ends under the band toward * H
the heads. Grain is handled by the * 1
shocker by grasping Into the heads , a3 r |
shown in the illustration , and the tuck ( H
should therefore be toward the heads , H
so that it will not pull out. |
The applications of roller hearings to H
grain cutting machinery was made by ' H
J. G. Perry in 1869 , and his patent , No. H
S6.5S-1 , for an improved reaper , showed H
and described various ways of using ' * |
roller and ball bearings in harvesters. H
Unquestionably the most practical ami d H
satisfactory applications of roller bearings - / H
ings to binders and mowers has been / H
made by the McCormick Harvesting ; j k
Machine Company. The Particular form k
used by them was patented in 1882 and H
is note be found in all McCcrmick H
machines. The especially valuable fca- , H
ture of the McCormick roller bearing H
is seen in the form or cage as it is * • / H
called which holds the rollers from " % 1
* <
-unning together , and if for any canse jP1 \ H
he cage is taken from the shaft the ? f . H
rollers will not fall out and get lost. M
In ordar to avoid the McCormick patent - |
tent the other harvesting machine company - H
pany who claims to be the originator oC J M
roller bearings in harvesters has cut |
out the metal in the ring at the ends of * |
the rollers. If the cage is taken out H
the rollers slip out and become filled H
with grit , or worse , get lost. The * fl
methods of the McCormick Company H
result in an annual saving of many ( H
thousands of dollars to the farming 1
public. New devices are not embodied H
in their machines until long and ort- H
repeated trials have shown them to bo |
practical. It has been the same with * H
roller bearings as with everything else |
McCormick experimenting is done at 1
McCormick expense. M
