A Washington correspondent says:.
Senator Paddock is going to reintro
duce his bill for the establishment of two
new land offices in Nebraska. Tho bill
passed the senate without any trouble
in the last congress, and also got a ma
jority vote in the house, but was beaten
by Mr. Holman, who demanded a quorum
unless the bill was changed to make
only one land office, instead of two.
Senator Paddock is confident of being
able to pass the bill this session.
In this, as in all other matters, the
senator is constantly on the lookov f

BOSTON'S LOSS.
Acres of Basiaess Blocks Destroyed.
Last Thursday at about 8:20 a fire
broke out in a six-story granite building
owned by Jordan, Marsh & Co., Bedford
street, corner of Kingston.
The flames raged for six hours and
burned over territory covered by mag
nificent structures and entailing a loss
of $5,000,000. Neighboring cities and
towns were called on for assistance.
Contents of houses apparently fire proof
were completely destroyed. Several
firemen lost their lives. The origin of
the lire is not surely known but it is
attributed to electric wires. The insur
ance, so far as heard from, amounts to
abort $2,750,000. Coming so soon after
the big fire at Lynn, it is said that many
of the smaller insurance companies will
probably suspend. The great fire of
Not. 9th, 72, which covered a portion of
.the territory of this, destroyed about

The Silr Convention.
We give, as a piece of current history
that may le important hereafter, the
resolution of tho silver convention at St.
Louis last week, and tho remarks of Mr.
Fitch, as briefly reported:
Resolved, that the demonitization of
silver has worked the practical violation
of every contract then existing in the
United States, entailed unaccounted
losses, reduced prices more than thirty
per cent and that its effects is practical
ly to make debts perpetual; that it caus
es a contraction of the currency, which
reduces values until there is no profit
left to the farmer, planter or men of
small capital who depend upon the sale
of their products for returns for their
labor; that we believe that a certificate
of the government, backed dollar for
dollar by gold and silver coin in the
treasury of the United States is a safe
antfosound currency and has been ap
proved by tho people; that considering
the contraction caused by tho surrender
of national bank notes dnring the past
three years and the vast sums that must
be collected by the cancellation of gov
ernment bonds during the next three
years, the necessity of restoring silver is
as manifest as is the justice of such a
policy; 'iat tho gold and silver of the
west'pr iringiu a steady stream upon
the east for forty years vitalized every
foim of business there and steadied and
upheld tho credit of tho nation through
a great war and made resumption possi
ble, and that what wo now demand is as
much moro to the interest of tho east
than of west as the productions of the
east exceeded in value tho productions
of the west; that we believe in the equal
rights of gold and silver and the face
coinage of both, and that no nation ever
had or ever will have too much gold or
silver coitiB.
Mr. Fitch, in an exhaustive speech on
the labor difficulties, laid all tho blame
for tho poverty stricken condition of the
working classes at the door of tho capi
talists who demoralized silver. 4Por
twenty years," said he, 'wo have had
abundant prosperity, but at tho end of it
we find wealth centered in a few hands.
What has the laborer for his twonty
years of toil? Ho can boast that the ag
gregate wealth of the nation has largely
increased, of factories established, cities
erected, rivers bridged, transcontinental
highways reaching from ocean to ocean.
He can call the roll of millionaires and
thousands will respond where before the
war there was less than five hundred.
He can wipe the sweat from his weary
faco and reflect that among the 8,000
millionaires may be enumerated twenty
American citizens who gathered S150,
000,000 from the toil and tears of 60,000,
000 people. He can walk weary and
shelterless in tho shadow of the palace
ho has built, but may not enter. I seek
not to assail tho rights of capitalists or
to arouse against them the prejudices of
poverty or un thrift, but for twenty years
capital has tampered with the people's
money and gathered to itself illicit gains
by increasing the burdens of industry.
'The fight for the restoration of silver
is a fight of debtors against creditors,
the labor against the capitalist, the poor
against tho rich. It is useless for the
monopolists to tell us prices have been
reduced because of the increased pro
duction of India. This may bo an ap
proximate cause, but I say the prime
cause will be found in silver demonetiza
lion alone. England has become today
tho greatest silver consumer in tho
world, and yet in all her vast empire she
produces less than seven per cent of the
world's supply, and Germany, the co
conspirator in the work of demonetiza
tion, produces less than three per cent.
England is tho bunco steerer of the
world and Uncle Sam is the gentleman
from tho rural districts. How much
longer will our miners, planters and
farmers consent that the senators' and
representatives at Washington shall con
tinue to legislate in the interests of Wall
street? Is it not time for tho American
eagle to raise and shako tho Liverpool
salt from its tail? Great applause. It
may be that sudden remonetization of
silver would produce some temporary
disturbance in Wall street, but the
eastern and western boundaries of this
nation are not found between Pearl and
Broadway. Wo are hero to represent
the cottages and cabins cf this country
and thoir interests should bo protected
though tho bulls of tho Wall street
bucket shops bellow with rage."
To the People or Platte County.
If you are in favor of an examination
of all county books, please send in your
petitions to tho county board by the
next ir eting, January 7, 1890, and in
struct ije samo to bo ordered.
Henri Rickekt,
Supervisor for Bismark Twp.
The above paragraph penned by Supr.
Bickert, touches the subject in the right
place. The right of petition is yet re
garded as among the sacred privileges of
an American citizen, and it ought to be
effective in all matters of this sort.
Many members of the board have said
that the demand by the people for an ex
amination of the books was not 'loud'
and tho matter had better be, at least
deferred, and so it was. None know
better than the supervisors themselves
(who, like Rickert, are in favor of the
measure) that it is nearly useless to
work for it, unless it is strongly backed
by petition from the people. There are
too many men, openly and secretly, ut
terly opposed to examination, and for
some reason or other, very much inter
ested concerning it, to lead us to believe
that it can bo effectively ordered and
m3de, in the near future. It would
seem, however, that one of the natural
results of the late election ought to be
overhauling of at least some of the
records. However, "we shall see what
we shall see.

Washington Letter.
From our regular corrMpomlfnt.l
Secretary Noble has created a fresh
commotion among the employes of the
pension office whose pensions were re
rated under Commissioner Tanner, by
demanding the resignation of five of
them, nil holding prominent positions in
the offices. They refuse to resign and
propose to make a stubborn fight for
their positions. One of them is said to
be backed by a prominent member of
the cabinet, and another has filed a
petition signed by 1,000 Union -soldiers
asking that he be retained in office. The
outcome is anxiously watched by the
other re-rated employes, who feel that
upon it depends their fate. Of course if
the secretary does not change his mind
these men will have to go. No subordi
nate official 'has ever yet succeeded in
getting the best of a cabinet officer, but
great pressure is being brought on Mr.
Noble, and there is a possibility that he
may change his mind, though the
chances are against it

Ex-Senator Bruce will get the best
appointment in this city recorder of

not succeed in convincing the president
that tho "home rule" plank in the Chi

him to appoint a man who is a citizen of
the District of Columbia, and who does
not vote in some of the states. Bruce
has lived here ever since he was senator,
but he has kept up his citizenship in
Mississippi, hence the opposition to him.
Thomas Clay McDowell has been ap

son-in-law of the late Col. W. C. Goodloe

suitable position for a woman.
Senator Quay, who has been credited
with taking an active part in the contest
for the speakership and the other house
offices, denies that he has interfered in
the slightest manner or that he intends
to. He is friendly to all the candidates
and thinks he would be puzzled which
one to vote for if he was a member of

HUMAN SACRIFICE.
The Minneapolis Tribune's Ser-en-Story
Bidding Burned.
FIRE ESCAPES WERE LACKING.
Seren Live Were Lout u& Many PersoHS
Itedljr Injured The Building a Man
Trap and Its Owner Responsible for the
Ilorror.
Minneapolis, Minn., Dec,
Tribune building was burned on Satur
day night and several lives were lost in
the dibaster.
All night long the steamers threw
water on the burning and smoking ruins
without cessation. The force that was
on duty during the night was relieved'
by auother and the good work went on
unceasingly. A few spectators stood
around during the entire night and as
soon as light began to dawn in the east
others came, so that as early as 8 o'clock
there was a considerable crowd on hand.
Dark and forbidding the walls of the
wrecked building loomed up in the giay
light of early dawn, and as the bpecta
tors gazed the awful fact that frenzied
human beings, half stifled with smoke
and singed with flames, had but a few
hours before made the death plunge
from the giddy height to the hard, cruel
stone pavement lielow, seemed to dawn
j upon them afresh with all ef its terrible
force. As thi day advanced and the
light became more distinct
Tho Completeness or the Wreck
became apparent. The upper floors
Iiad given way .and then- weight.together
with the job presses and heavy iron safes,
had carried all into a confused mass
iu the basement Here and there an
iron girder remained in position, but so
insecurely fixed that it appeared that
but a slight jar would be required to
send it crashing to tho bottom.
Chief Stetson and the other members
of the fire department appeared to doubt
whether all the inmates of the building
liad escaped. Chief cf Police Brackett,
who has handled many fires in the past,
thought there could not be over two or
three bodies in the ruins.
The elevator man who was reported
missing turnel up saf) and sound.
Charles A. Smith, the elevator man on
the night service, did very creditable
work. He was a new man, having only
been iu the place since the first of the
week. After the fire broke out he made
five trips, the las. when the shaft was
actually on fire, and saved a number of
people. Smitli says he smelled fire for
three-quarters of an.hour before he could
find its location. After looking on all
the floors he finally felt the heat on the
third floor and was about to break in the
door of the fateful room when the tran
som burst and the flames sprang up. He
is confident tliat the fire originated in E.
A. Harmon's office and worked through
two partitions before breaking into the
hallway, but this seems well nigh itn
(lossible. Smith is sure that
More Pronto Were Burned
than have been reported. He says that
at it live minutes before the lire was
diM-overed, he curried a heavy, dark
complexioned lady to the sixth floor.
She asked for the editorial rooms of The
Pioneer Press. He did not take her
liat-k in the elevator, and he is sure she
could not have gone down the stairway.
Smith also says that a tall young man
with a black moustache shot himself on
the seventh floor near the composing
room door. Smith was up on his last
trip and called to the young man to
come into the elevator, Cut he seemed
dazed by the heat and smoke and delib
erately drew a revolver and fired into
his own head, falling as Smith supposes
quite dead. Just before he fired the
shot he exclaimed:
"My Cod My Wife and"
Then tho bullet did it work. Chief Stet
son charges that the loss of life is due to
the absence of proper fire escapes.
The Typographical union, No. 42, met
in the afternoon in Labor temple to take
action. A committee on resolutions was
appointed, and pending their report the
recording secretary began collecting
evidence regarding the repeated efforts
of the men to have fire-escapes placed on
the building and to place such evidence
at the disposition of the coroner.
Anton. J. Dahl, a book-binder, was on
an upper floor and is believed now to be
among the dead.
The following is a complete list of the
dead and injured as far as can be ascer
tained: Dead.

Evidence .Showing- that He Had CrralaAs
Knives When Arrested.
Chicago, Nov. 30. In the Cronin case
Judge Longenecker resumed his speech.
The states attorney dwelt for some time
on the showing of the motive that actu
ated the conspirators to commit the
crime and told again how
the murdered physician had
openly cliarged the triangle with
misappropriating the funds of the
order and for tlie purpose of covering
the theft of the triangle, claiming a de
ficiency had been expended in the dan
gerous work abroad when the money
had gone no farther than the pockets of
the triangle.
The State Sprang a Sensation
tliat had come into its possession Friday
morning by showing by Officer Flynn
that when Dan Coughlin was arrested
two knives were found on the suspect.
and that the knives belonged to Dr. Cro
nin. To identify the knives Mr. T. T.
Conklin took the stand and swore that
they were identical in every detail with
two knives carried by the witness for
two vears. and given by him to the doc
tor shortly before the murder. He was
not positive that they were tho same,
but lie believed them to be so. The tes
timony created a decided stir iu the
room.
Couctiilii Looked Hard at the Ceiling
and tried to assume indifference, but the

posure. A Farmers Trnst.
Topeka, Kan., Dec. 2. Judge Pef
fer of this city contributes to The Forum
a strong array of figures and facts to
show that the farmers aro rapidly get
ting together for their own protection.
Judge Peffer looks upon this movement
as one of the most promising events for
the farmers' welfare. There are, he
says, 4,500,(KH) farmers in the United
States. Of this numler at least 1,000,000
are now organized in various associa
tions, having essentially the same end in
view the improvement of the condi
tion of the agricultural clas?. A move
ment is no'v on foot to consolidate all
these associations and extend them so as
to include eventually in one body, hav
ing one difinite aim, not less than
4.000,000 farmers.
Sanol Strikes a 2:05 Gait.
San Francisco, Nov. 30. Robert Bon
ner, in company with half a dozen
friends, paid a visit to Senator Stanford's
Palo Alto farm. The old journalist's
late purchase, Sunol.was brought out for
ins new owner to look at. Marvin was
behind her, and after a little warming
up went a quarter. Seven split second
watches were held and all marked 31
seconds when the quarter mile post was
reached. It was a 2:05 gait. Bonner
was delighted. He said the mare would
do 2:05 in another vear.
Sight Killed by a Cyclone.
Charlotte, N. O., Dec. 2. A de
structive cyclone passed over a portion
of Buford county, doing great damage.
The residence of a farmer near Wash
ington, the county seat, was blown down
and the whole famiiy, consisting of the
father, mother, and four children, were
killed instantly. A factory near Wash
ington was blown down and two persons
killed, while a dozen others receved seri
ous injuries. The reports are very
meagre and it is impossible yet to get all
the names of the killed.

Topeka, Kan., Dec. 2. A new county

Printing presses are usually run in this
country by steam power, by water pow
er, electric motors, and by main strength
and awkwardness; hut the machine
that grinds out The Plain City Dealer
is run by dog power. A large wheel about
ten feet in diameter and about two feet
in width is connected with the drive
wheel of the press by means of a belt.
Cleats aro placed about a foot apart on
the inside of the wheel, where "Joe."
the journalistic dog, walks his weary
round and thus causes the wheel to re
volve. Joe has run the press for about
five years, and has faithfully earned his
hash every week. It is now about time
for him to die and go where good dogs
always go, and the proprietor of The
Dealer is casting around for another ca
nine. Part of Joo is shepherd and the
rest is common, every day dog. Colum
