slamfcisfbunuil WEDNESDAY, MAECH 17,1886. Ex-Uxitzd States Sknatok Je rome B. Chaflfee, died on the 9lb, at Pnrdy'8 Station, Now York. The Grand Army boys of North Nebraska have decided to hold a re union at Norfolk Ang. 17th to 21st The Fall Biver Advance says : "A mistake is a thins to which yon are liable. Blunders are made by the other fellow." Is it trne that the U. P. railroad company has made a proposition to the Northwestern to build a union depot at Fremont? Senator Logan has pledged him self to write a series of articles on reminiscences of the late war for the National Tribune at Washington. It is estimated by persons who are in position to know that not less than one thousand miles of railroad will be constructed in different directions in Nebraska during the present year. The Cincinnati Commercial says: "Mr. Cleveland has made but a very slight mark upon the American peo ple, and they do not seem to have made much impression upon him." Gov. Dawes, of this state, has de cided to obtain the pictures of all tho governors of Nebraska, and have them enlarged and framed and hung on the walls of the executive office. Strikes seem to be general all over the country. At Omaha the other morning abont twenty butchers em ployed in Hammond & Co's. packing house in South Omaha, struck for higher wages. The effect of tho recent strike in East St. Louis upon tho cattle trade is especially severe. No stock cars can croBS the bridge and therefore the receipts are materially lessened as the strike proceeds. From a recent statement made at Washington by Secretary Manning, it appears that of the 16,508,000 ounces of silver offered the treasury depart ment in six months, the secretary bought 11,277,463, for which he paid $12,105,740. Of this over two mil lions was profit. The Mormon women of Salt Lake City, recently met, and speeches were made upholding the right of women to go into polygamy and a protest adopted against government interfer ence. The action of tho Utah courts waB denounced. Tho meeting was largely attended. Senator Van Wtck has introduced a bill with favorable report from the sub-land committee declaring that no railroad lands shall be exempt from taxation for local purposes on account of a lien of tho United States forcoBts of surveying them. Such lands sold for taxes arc subject to this lien. The President has sent a message to the senate, submitting a bill from tho secretary of the interior, to pay the Omaha tribe of Indians in this state, $90,000 due them under a treaty with the United States, in two yearly instalments of $45,000, instead of nine yearly instalments of $10,000. Mrs. Fenn, who is now at Omaha practicing the "Science Cure," ap pears to be a wonderful woman in deed, having cured many cases. She claims that the science is based upon one principle, that there is no matter, but all mind. God is the great mind. It is from Him wo receive the good impulses. The express car of the Chicago k, Rock Island train was boarded at Joliet, III., Saturday morning at 1 o'clock. Kellogg Nichols, express messenger of tho U. S. Express Co. was killed, and money and jewelry valued at $35,000 wcro stolen. It is to be hoped tho robbers and murder ers will be apprehended. Two days spent in court at Omaha selecting a jury (o try J. W. Lauer charged with the murder of hin wife, and tho jury not selected. Too court before adjourning ordered a special venire for the attendance of twenty men Wednesday niorniusr. So far ono hundred and nine men have been in tli jnry box. The Hecret cervine dructives have found a counterfeiter's press which can be put into a market basket and yet will crush the hardest silver to a ragged film. Its operation is so easy and silent that the hand of a child can strike off coins from planchcttes under its dies, and no sound of its move ment will be heard two yards away. Evert few years that old joke upon the now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nebraska is brought up for certain purposes. That he hurriedly stepped into the Bhop of his tailor, selected the material, and had his measure taken for a new snit of clothes. His tailor said to him, "how did you liko the fit of the last suit I made you?" He answered, "very well it's hanging up at home, I have not worn it." Hia tailor lost the job. What we know of the Chief Justice we are inclined to the opinion that he thinks more about Blackstone, Kent, 5th edition of Maxwell's pleading and practice and the ap pearance of the Supremo Court re ports, than he does of a new euit of clothes. It is somewhat surprising that a democratic administration of only one year conld have such a woeful effect upon the finances of the country and the prices of every thing raised and produced from a hog to a bushel of corn. This effect has been partly pro duced by proposing a change in two very important measures, silver coin age and the tariff. In fact, not a law has been passed by the democrats during the first year of their adminis tration which would naturally lead to such extreme effects upon money affairs and prices. If tho bare prop osition to produce theso changes has brought about such results, why may we not pray to be delivered from the' actual thing? J. M. McDonougu, editor of tho O'Neil Tribune was fined for con tempt of court, by Judge Tiffany last week. In a recent issuo of his paper Mr. McDouough criticised the Judge for continually adjourning court, as he undoubtedly had a right to do. We think if Mr. McDonough was so inclined ho could make things ex ceedingly interesting for Mr. Tiffany. He should be made an example of. When a Judge undertakes to dictate to the press what it shall 6ay in re gard to the action of the court it is high time that some ono calls a halt. All liberty loving citizens will sym pathize with Mr. McDonough in this matter. Schuyler Herald. Boycotting extraordinary is re ported from a town in Georgia, where a certain cigar dealer has a beautiful and winsome daughter. A young man of the place paid her attentions and won her affections, but the father ob jected and forbade tho younir man his house. Nothing dismayed, the young man organized a club of sym pathisers and they havo boycotted the father's business, refusiner to buv cigars of him unless the barricade be raised. At last accounts the obdurate parent was growing weak-kneed. He mnst have some admiration for the executive ability of the young chap. In the executive department of the Missouri Pacific Railroad Compauy, at St. Louis, not less than ten thous and men havo boon thrown out of employment, and all because one man was discharged from tho Texas & Pa cific road, thus stopping the operation of about five thousand miles of rail way, and the traffic of four states, affecting over four million people, with business partially paralyzed. This is ono feature of what organized strikes can accomplish for themselves as well as other people. WashingtonTelegraphed Letter. Washington, March 15, 86. The Capital city is really dull for the season. The influx of visitors from the country has not been great, and nothing startling ha taken place. The speech of Senator Wilson in support of the Edmunds report is re garded as one of tho best yet deliver ed. The speech or oration of Senator Kenna, of West Virginia, on the other side, is more satisfactory to the de mocracy than any other they have had. There is no telling how long this debate will last, or who will get the best of it. The President's veto of the Des Moines Biver bill for the benefit of settlers is very unsatisfactory to Wes tern men. I am sorry to say that the opinion is rapidly gaining ground in this city, among all politicians, that no man has ever filled the Presidential chair who possessed 60 little natural and acquir ed ability as the present occupant. If it were not for Dan Lamont it is hard to tell how Mr. Cleveland would nav igate. Before his term expires all tho world will know that, in fact, the President is little better than a cipher intellectually. Congress certainly has its hands lull, but there is a slowness about its work that worries the people. Quite a large number of mattors have been under consideration for the past week, but there has been more talk than anything else. Of course, the main topic is tho discussion of the resolutions in regard to suspensions, introduced by Senator Edmunds, and it is just to say that Mr. Edmunds' speech was the best of his life. Its effect upon the country will be disas trous to the administration party. It was a plain, modest, but able arraign ment of the executive for his refusal to furnish tho Senate with such papers on public file as may have influenced him in the suspension of officers. His gleanings from past records wore tell ing in their effect. The reply of Sen ator Pugh, of Alabama, in defense of the President, was well delivered, but it was weak from first to last. Tho expression "inocuous desuetude" first appearing iu the President's sus pension message, is becoming tho bye-word in Congress. The contest between labor and cap ital inaugurated by the recent strike on the Gould lines in tho Southwest, is the subject of earnest thought among the people's representatives. It is becoming clearer every day that Congress will be compelled to legis late on this subject, and it is believed that a move towards the constitution of a national committee of arbitration to settle all such troubles as theso will soon be made. The people are grow ing restless. The question of cheap telegraphy is growing in importance, aud it is not improbable that Congress may enact some measure looking to better rates for the government in its intercourse by telegraph. W. D. on the 10th inst., while approaching Crete. He was returning from Den ver, where he had been since Sep tember for his health. His body was sent from Lincoln by the same train to Chicago for burial. It' is stated by Mr. C. A. Evans that abont three-quarters of a mile from St. Helena, Cedar county, Neb., on tho line of the Sioux City and Pacific railroad, a rich vein of coal has been struck, at a depth of four hundred feet. The vein is six feet in thickness and promises an abundant production. A company has already been formed to work it. A borrule double murder and robbery was committed the other day at the farm house of John T. Ever bart) near Lickingvale, in the north ern part of Clarence county, Pa. A boy in the family returning from school found Mrs. Everhart lying on the floor with her throat cut, and her mother in the spring with her throat cnt. Tho house had been robbed of $300. Four thousand members of tho United Order of American Joiners and Amalgamated Society of Car penters aud Joiners stopped work in Now York the other day. The strikers demand that tho average wages paid to journeymen shall bu $3.50 a day of nine hours, for five days, and eight hours on Saturday. Six hundred shops are said to.be affected by this movement. News comes from Boston that the tug "John Market" left the other morning in search of vessels. A largo number of persons on the wharf watched tho boat steam away. Just as the boat arrived off Long Island, an explosion occurred on board and the boat was blown to atoms. Iler crew of five men were instantly killed. The bodies of the captain and engineer wero recovered by a tug cruising iu the vicinity. ormProlreit. In this department tho people talk, and not the editor. Each writer must hold himself ready to defend bis principle and his statements of facts. "In the mul titude of counsel there is wisdom." En.

A report comes from London that the government has placed gunboats at the service of the Dnke in his work of relieving the distress among the inhabitants of the islands along the western Irish coast. Indescribable distress has been developed among the people inhabiting tho Arran Isles, of Galway, who, besides having hard ly anything to eat but moss aud sea grass, and often without clothing and shelter. Ofteu bartering away their clothing for seed potatoes or roots to feed the smaller children. The evidence before the committee in Ohio investigating ythe charge of bribery in the election of Senator Payne has proceeded so far and de veloped such a state of facts as to make it necessary to send the case to the United States senate for proper investigation by that body. Frand, bribery and corruption are somewhat like murder, they will out some time. Fred. Nye, president, gives notice in the Omaha Republican that the bona fide members of the Editorial Association of Nebraska are notified and called to meet in Omaha Monday, March 22d, '86, "to tako into consid eration the action of a crowd of dis contented individuals who lately met is Lincoln and called themselves the Nebraska Editorial Association, elect ad officers, &c, without the slightest semblance of authority." Commissioner Kennedy, of the state fish hatchery and distribution, has completed his annual report giv ing figures of the season's work. Our citizens in this part of the state feel iaf most interest in the distribution we give figures in that department. - Brook trout distributed, 121,000; Cal ifornia trout, 8,000; wall-eyed pike, " 575,000; Lake trout, 45,000; Black base, 605; German carp, 2,745. Ac eordiag to accounts from parties in tonated in this industry, tneuommis Col. E. II. McPherson, a graduato of West Poiut, aud a well-known In diau fighter, who at one time gained great reputation by rescuing two young white women from the Indians on the IMatto river, committed sui cide the other morning by taking morphine at bis boarding house in Evausvillf, Iud. He was an impetu ous Indian fighter, and the author of the expression "The only way to reach an Indian is by a ball of lead." His mother and Meter reside in Den ver. Colorado. Senator John F. Millek, of Cali fornia, died at his residence in Wash ington City, March 8th, '86, after a prolonged illness. His death was the result of a complication of diseases arising primarily from a severe wound in tho eye received in the war, twenty-three years ago. He leaves a wife and one daughter. There is no legis lature in existence in California, and the appointment to fill tho vacancy will fall upon Governor Stoneman, who is a democrat. Astronomers are now able to promise the public a splendid spec tacle, as both Fabry's and Barnard's comets are likely to be easily visible to the unaided eye about the end of April and the beginning of May; both, too, in a position where they will be above tho horizon all night, aud not far distant from each other, tho former, which will be the brighter of the two, being in the con stellation Perseus, and the latter in Andromeda. At the first of tho session, dem ocrats were congratulating them selves that Senator Edmunds, from his sickly appearance, would not be a formidable antagonist in the Senate's battles. Ho has lately im proved, however, and, as one of our Washington correspondents says, the democrats accept him as a disa greeable fact that cannot be dodged ; Albion is to have a new bank Boon. At Oakland, Neb., in one day last week 15,000 bushels of corn were marketed. The U. P. company has commenced the erection of tie-preserving works at Laramie. Newell G. Angur, of Stewart, Neb., has received a patent on a fold ing bed. Henry Menke, jr., of Do witt, Neb., also patent on revolving fan. It took fonr hundred men on horse back the other day in the vicinity of Oakdale, Neb., to kill two wolves. But this feat happened at a big wolf bunt. Hamlin Arren attempted to board a train the other morning at Blair, Neb., and fell under the cars, wbich passed over his foot and struck him on the head inflicting fatal injuries. It is mentioned as a curious cir cum6tauco that a picture of General Hancock, which had hung in a Long Island hotel sinco the campaign of 1880, fell to the floor at the exact time of the General's death. Joseph . Weiss' farm house near Papillion, burned the other evening to the ground. Nothing saved. Mrs. Weiss had great difficulty in rescuing her children from the flames, which bad made a big start when discovered. It is reported at London that an other'conferencc of representatives of the powers will be held soon at Con stantinople to consider the Greek question. Turkey continues to rein force her military strength along the Greek frontier. The other morning the extensive oatmeal mills of Ferdinand Schu macker at Akron, Ohio, took fire and burned down, together with the dry house and elevator including 20,000 bushels of grain. The loss will amount to $300,000. The March report of the depart ment of agriculture on the consump tion and distribution of grain crops makes the proportion of corn still in the hands of farmers 40 per cent, of the last crop. Ono year ago the pro portion of the crop on hand was 37.6 per cent. Samuel Davidson, of Corydon, Ind., failed to supply his family with enough wood to keep tbem warm. His neighbors the other night hitched him to a sled and compelled him to haul wood all night When he lagged he was whipped up with lumber switches. Sydney advices by way of San Francisco state that small-pox is still prevalent in Japan. It is also re ported to be very bad in Seoul, Corea. It is said the Coreans have no knowledge of means to prevent a spread of the disease, and it is, there fore, allowed'to take its course un obstructed. Mat. Leonard, Jil, of Chicago, Hard TI A correspondent of mine makes tho statement that the depression in the price of our produce is duo to tho fact that India, Australia, and other coun tries have overstocked the markets of the world so that there is not a de mand for our surplus at remunerative prices, and that no amount of money would help us, &c. Now, this looks to me to be a very foolish and trifling cause Europe has never produced bread enough to meet her demands, and the fact that other countries can furnish enough to fill the deficiency, and at cheaper rates than she can do it herself, should make such depend ant countries more prosperous and wealth', and their subjects placed above want, but how is it? Tho laboring classes of England, Franco aud Ireland are in a fearful condition. Bread riots are the order of the day. In Europe, as well as in America, thousands are starving for the neces saries of life, while bread is rotting for tho waut of consumers. Is it be cause bread is so cheap? Aro the people satisfied that because bread and all other commodities are cheap, that it is tbo cause of hard times ? That idea is not consistent. It seems to mo to be foolish. I insist that the trouble and cause of all this misery, doubt and sluggishness tbronghout, is the tampering, half-hearted, indecisive action that all the nations have taken iu regard to the question of silver money. Each nation seems to bo afraid to take the lead for fear it will get left. I firmly bolievo that the United States of America, is large enough, powerful enough and inde pendent enough, if united, to take the lead in the silver question and make it a legal, tender for all purposes so far as we as a nation are concerned, and lot other countries do as they like. Let Uncle Sam set his big broad foot down flat and firm on this question, and we will soon sec prosperous times, aud the other nations united with us on this question. My correspondent goes on to say that uo amount of money, whether gold, silver or paper would help the matter any. That we must prepare ourselves for an era of low prices, and then winds up by saying that tho ex cessive interest that our farmers pay for use of money is tho cause of our distress. Now, if abundance of all other com modities makes them cheap, why will mauds of nature ju9t a9 well as wheat. So also has nature given 119 otbor metals than gold, just as good to sat isfy demands of raouey, if we so wish to see it. Bread and money are the two important fundamental factors in our existence aud advancement, and neither of them U confined to any ono ingredient or article, aud it proves the wisdom of the Croator that it is so. Corn and wheat arc our princi pal articles for bread, with others if neoded. Gold aud silver aro our principal articles for money, with others if needed. Now confine either bread or money to one material, and what would be the result? Starvation and misery would prevail throughout the land. Men, liko the starvod Jackals of the desert, would devour each other, and in placo of a happy, progressive peo ple, we would becomo degradod, mur derous brutes. Human tendencies are in that direction at best. But, the "gold bug" says that silver fluctuates too much to use as money, for.ono day a coin may bo worth a dollar and the next day only seven ty-fivo cents, while the statistics for a term of years show that gold fluctuated moro than silver. They argue that tbo reason that silver fluctuates so much is that it hay uot the hitiiuoic value that gold has, which 1 claim i all ''bosh." I claim that neither of them need fluc tuate and in fact do not. And to illustrate: I borrow of mv neighbor 'ten bushel!) of wheat, to be returned after harvest with one bushel added for the use of it. Wheat, we will say, is now worth ono dollar a bushel. Next harvest I return tho wheat aud it then is only worth seventy-five cents a bushel. Now what causes the difference in tho price of this wheat? Is it in tho difference iu the value of money? 11 aa the intrinsic value of money decreased or increased ? or has the intrinsic value of the wheat de creased? I say that money has but little intrinsic value, and all other commodities havo great intrinsic value, therefore other commodities fluctuate, and not money, and there rests the whole secret. Issuo legal tender dollars, silver and gold, and all other commodities will take care of themselves. O. I. lengthening the hours of service and otherwise causing misery and dis content among their subjects. Dis content and misery will exist as long as there is human nature existing; but they can be abated aud improved, aud there are great duties for all to perform. Our rulers, philanthro pists and learned men should see to it that every means for the benofit, advancement and protection of the masses, is brought into play, so that all may enjoy all the comforts, liberty and unity of interest that a free government would imply. I believe that man's chief end should be, to make his fellow man free, pros perous and happy. Why Not. A MulaeH Mam's Oplatem. Two years ago I took S. 8.

Journal : Through your val uable paper the people are permitted to give their views on any subject that affects the good or harm of the general public, a privilego that I have frequently taken advantage of, not, I know, for the purpose of making myself notorious, but for the simple defiiro of getting the people to think, agitato and understaudiugly improve ourselves and others, so as to bo able to act wl.eu the tirr.o comes for action. There certainly can be no loss or harm done iu the discussion of any subject, whether our views are right or wrong, for in a multitude of council there is wisdom. I suppose that about three-fifths of the population of tho United States are laborers or pro ducers of wealth, for there is no wealth produced or ever existed ex cept by labor. Nature has furnished the muscle and earth with all tho compounds needed to produce tbo existeuce, prosperity aud comforts of all living things. Now this basis of nature is laid broad, deep and perfect, so much so that it scorns strange there should be any trouble or commotion among its subjects. But what are the facts? To-day, thousands upon thousands are suffering for tho com forts, and even tho necoBsaries of life. Many thousands of these are suffering for the want of work, and for needs that their small pay will not allow. The grasping greed of the class that by Borne means have gained the power over the poorer class, is Belfish enough to stand by and look on this vast amount of suffering without the in clination to abate it or improve the lot of tho sufferers. Now, what is the cause, or who are to blame ? Who are tho sufferers ? Aro they the pro ducers of wealth, the laborer ? I start out in my views by calling every human being a laborer or a producer of wealth, which by nature he is, but by circiimetances, conditions and position, we are divided in classes viz, l ho farmer and general laborer. I enn make but two classes, and the farmer is the first and most impor tant, because he deals directly with uature and on nature's foundation, therefore cannot Htrike: other labor or pn-dueers of wealth are tho off-t-hnols of the farmer or in other words, a necessary appendage. Now, u here does the clash or trouble begin ? From the origin of human existence, there were rulers, and it was a wise provision, hut tho avarice and sel fishness of man, the desire for wealth and power havo been cultivated and nourished in tho heart of man to such extent that hope tor the continnance A Chatauqua county, New York, cheese maker went to Buffalo the other day and brought homo a flue imported Swiss cheese.

People persist in being blind to their interest and sub mit to being wronged in the matter of silver money because the gold aris tocracy say so, and so control onr finances. Thje noted Sherman with all his adverse ruling as treasurer, has tacitly admitted that there was a wrong iu the matter of silver as mon ey, when a short time ago he proposed to issue certificates for the deposit of silver bullion from two dollars up, a sort of compromise between the gold bugs and silver men. Silver is the poor man's money, ana it has the power to equalize the value of money, therefore let us insist on and demand the free coinage of silver as a legal tender for all purposes. How long would it be before Bel- fish, mortal man would control the bread supply of the world, if bread could be confined to wheat alone?

I say, no, and the tendencies are in an evil direction. Wealth, placed in the hands of a few, has in all cases led to the downfall and destruction of the possessor or his posterity, and, I claim, has caused the numerous strikes with all their entailed misery, and unless changed will eventually lead to the downfall of our free gov- j ernment.
