Tnc Omaha World-Herald proposes a scheme for democratic success, thus: "The alliance to namo and the demo cratic party to indorse a state ticket. The democratic party lo name and the alliance to indorse the three congress men, lwth organizations to bend every energy to the election of the joint ticket so formed." The alliance, as an organiz ation, repudiates political action. Indi vidual members are independent in this regard, and cannot lie transferred liodily or otherwise, at the dictate of party managers. Co-alitions resting solely upon the division of official plums and not upon principle, avail but little. The dominant political party of this state is the republican. The motive power in that party is the lalmring element, whenever they choose to exert their power. Let that element control the party management, as they can do, and their "labor of love' is almost accomp lished. Let those of the alliance who are democrats or prohibitionists, do the same with respect to their parties, and thus all will have done their level best. A fourth new party to lie formed now, looks unwise; a union of alliance men with the democratic party, merely for the purpose of bringing success to some three democratic politicians who want to go to congress, exchanging for the same a state ticket composed of alliance men, will not meet the approval of enough voters iu either wing of such a political bird to give it body, head or tail, or ren der it coherent in any respect. Onr friend Hitchcock has suggested a very improbable possibility. The wish that it might be so is father to the thought that it could be so. "Run, Tolg Fraid, or little Fraid will catch you." The Bloody Third. Hon. G. D. Meiklejohn of Fullerton is credited with an ambition to be con gressman in the Third district to suc ceed Mr. Dorsey. Some republicans really opposed to Mr.Dorsey's succeeding himself, have expressed themselves as inclined to think that a delegation with Meikeljohn overcoats, means a delega tion with Dorsey dress suits. Between times. The Journal may be excused for remarking that Brad Slaughter, also of Fullerton, is among the shrewdest oli ticians in the state, and doubtless knows what is going on. The truth is, how ever, that the political situntion in Ne braska is more than usually "shaky." If real candidates were as thick as blackberries they would be exceedingly loath to be at the expense of making a heated nominating campaign in the big Third against Mr. Dorsey, who is known to be a first-class " rustler," especially in the face of the fact that there are two such disturbing elements as the prohibi tionists and the alliance to be reckoned on this time as taking a very active part in settling the question of election, if they do not, indeed, cut a figure in the nom ination. The situation is so strained that it is little wonder we hear of no ardent campaign for the nomination by men usually regarded as politicians. The fobs are Xo tiood. Our general stock of information is made up of a multitude of facts. When farmers and stock raisers get together and discuss their business among them selves, they invariably learn something that is of value to them in dollars and cents those who know being confirmed in their good opinions, or more forcibly impressed with their importance, while those who have been ignorant receive light altogether new to them. It seems now universally conceded that there is no profit in raising anything but a choice line of cattle for the market, but there have been conflicting opinions as to the best feed for fattening. The South Omaha Stockman of a recent date con tains this: Several feeders were discussing the best methods of fattening cattle and while they differed on some points they all agreed that cobs were no benefit to stock. Said one. "it stands to reason that anything as tongh and indigestible as a corn cob taken into an animal's stomach -can do no good even if not a positive injury. I can take any man who is not prejudiced on a trip through the country and prove to his satisfaction that the feeding of crushed corn, cob and all, is far from being the best method," Give me," said another, "good shelled corn with clear, bright hay for roughness and I will take it every time in prefer ence to anything else." On the hay question there was some difference of opinion, some prefering good timothy hay, others millet, while some recom mended flax straw. To the minds of those posted, there seems to be no great obstacle in the way of tobacco culture 'in this state and- county. For years patches of tobacco have been grown by a few Bohemian families in this county and the growth has been luxuriant. If we can success fully grow the raw-material, why can it not be manufactured right here as well as at other places? Anyway, beet sugar culture and tobacco raising will toad to diversified cropping which is needed in this country. Schuyler Herald. Ladies' pure silk vests, short sleeves 79c Lawns!

Cotiwm of Agrirltaral Depression anil Pwi- Mr RtMtdiM-Wfcat Xat lie Done by the Fanaer. Hon. J. M. Busk, secretary of agricul ture, has issued the following circular: For months past from all part a of the country, there have reached me many communications, many of them from large bodies of men. all of them from persons deserving consideration, and all of them deeply in earnest respecting the present condition of agricultural de pression. In most cases the commnnica tions suggest the conviction of the wri ters, not only as to the gravity of the emergency, not as to its cause or causes and possible remedies, and all of them appeal to me for soae expression of my views on the subject. To answer each one of these communications separately would, ba morn 4han anv nno man pan undertake to do, and, moreover, 'i am reluctant to send out an expression of my views in letters covering merely a phase or a portion of the questions in volved, ouch a course would be unjust to myself and to those who address me. I can only consent to express my views, such as they are, on the entire question, reviewing the whole subject and consid ering it in all its various phases. The present agricultural depression, it seems to me, can be traced to a combi nation of many causes, so many that probably no one man can enumerate them all. I will only endeavor to point out some which seem to me more direct ly responsible. They may bo divided into two classes, first: Those causes inherent to the farmers themselves, and for which they alone can provide a pos sible remedy. Second: Those over which the farmer himself has no direct control, and the remedy for which must be pro vided as far as remedy is possible, by law, and for such legislation the re sponsibility devolves upon the legisla tive bodies of the state and of the nation. what the farmers must do, I will confine myself to a mere enu meration of the first class of causes in dicated. On many farms I regret to say we find a depreciation of the productive power of the land due to careless cul ture. We find a want too often of business-like methods, due to the fact that in earlier times business training was not regarded as an essential prepa ration for the farmer's work, whereas today with altered conditions, when ev ery penny, and I may say every moment of time has to be profitably accounted for and in the face of world-wide com petition, a successful fanner must lie as well trained and careful in business as the store-keeper, and bis equal in intelli gence and general education. Nor are the important questions of supply and demand of market prices studied with the vigilance which characterizes the methods of our merchants and manufac turers. These last moreover have the advantage of transacting their business in immediate prorimity to trade centers, wnere ine wiuesi, iniormaiion in reier ence thereto is readily obtainable. Onr farmers' organizations are wisely seeking to supplement this want for the farmer; the agricultural press is earnestly work ing" inlhe'same direction and one of the most important duties devolving upon this department consists in gathering and promptly distributing reliable in formation on all these subjects whion are essentially interesting to the farmer, It remains for him to avail himself of the information thus supplied as his chief protection not only against over supply of certain products, but against possible over-reaching on the part of purchasers. The farmer must look with suspicion upon any attempts to abridge the sources of his information. His ad vantage will always be in the fullest knowledge of the facts. He must care fnlly study the character and the quality of his products rather than mere 'quanti ty, and always bear in mind that, wheth er prices are high or low, it is always the best goods at the best obtainable prices that are the most readily sold. Many of our farmers hare been land-greedy and find tbemselres the owners of more land than they can properly care for in view' of the comparatively high price of labor in the rural districts and in view of the fact that but a small portion of man kind, comparative!-, can profitably con trol the labor of others. The prudent farmer will limit his efforts to that which he can efficiently perform. Again, more attention must be given, espe cially on oar western farms, to the raising by the farmer. for his own use everything that may be utilized by him self and household as far as soil and climate will permit. WAMU XORTOAOErl. The burden of mortgages upon farms, homes and lands is unquestionably dis couraging in the extreme, and while in some eases no dount una loaa may nave been too readily assumed, still in the ma jority of cases, the mortgage has been the result or necessity, i except, of course. such mortgages as represent balances of purchase money, which are rather evi dences of the fanner's ambition and 15 Ladies' and children's Fast Black Hosiery 19, 2S, 37 and SOe. Special values. Worth 81.50. enterprise than of his poverty. On the other hand, those mortgages with which land has been encumbered from the necessity of its owner, drawing high rates of iuterest, often taxed in addition with a heavy commission, have today, in tueiaceot continued depression in the legitimate province or national legisla prices of staple products, liecome very tt ion. The great difficulty lies in the irksome and in many cases threaten the close observance of that line of demar farmer with the loss of home and land, 'cation which clearly exists between corn It is a question of grave difficulty to all I binations for mutual self-help, protec those who seek to remedy the ills from tion, and the advancement by legitimate which our farmers are suffering. At means of the interests of a class, craft, present prices the farmer finds that it or industry and combinations or trusts takes more of his prodncts to get a i inspired by greed, whose objects are un- dollar wherewith to pay back the dollar he borrowed than it did when ho lior- rowed it. The interest accumulates, while payment of the principal seems utterly hopeless, and the very depres sion which we are discussing makes the renewal of the mortgage most difficult. jiany people are uis-ioseu to associate this phase of the subject with the ques- tion of an undue limitation of our cur rency. Many carry this line of argument to extremes, but it is bv no means im possible that these subjects are corehi ted. However, the question of currency is now receiving special attention from another branch of the government; leg islation on this subject is now pending before congress and we can no donbt look for an early and satisfactory solu tion of this vexed problem. transportation. The question of transportation is one of profound interest to the American farmer. The trouble begins near home, between the farm and the nearest rail road station. It would be difficult to estimate the amount of loss in time and labor, in depreciation and wear and tear of horses and conveyances, entailed upon the farmers by the wretched condition of country roads before arriving at the station; he there meets the vexed ques tion of freight rates, a difficult one to settle satisfactorily to all parties under any circumstances, but in many cases still further complicated by the condi- liii'i if hub i 1i ulijJrnTf? nyew XT-it of the roads were built at a time and under conditions that greatly enhanced their cost. Competing lines built under more favorable circumstances, present comparisons of inequality which often seem like injustice, and on the other hand it must not be forgotten that many roads are over-taxing their constituents in an effort to secure dividends upon a total of capital and bonded debt, a por tion of which is purely fictitious. That many roads fail to pay any dividends at all, while the total profits of the rail roads throughout the country represent but a comparatively small dividend upon the actual cost of construction, plant and equipment, still in no wise palliates the grievous wrong of attempting to secure a profit upon fictitious values. It is still too early to suggest any import ant modifications in the inter-state com merce law. A fuller trial is needed to judge properly of its effects and to sug gest judicious amendments. The con dition of our agriculture is such that a large proportion of our farmers must depend upon facilities for reaching dis tant markets, and the law will hardly accomplish its purpose of securing the greatest number, if its ultimate result should be to raise the cost of the long haul. Its most valuable office will lie to prevent injustice by forbidding the granting by the railroads of special priv ileges to certain classes or corporations, which are denied to the community at large. the middle man. Another cause operating to depress the price of the farmer's honest toil, is the undue increase of the class of middle men and the dishonesty and greed of many of them. Hence the wide gulf lietween the high prices charged to the consumer, and the low prices paid to the producer. The middle man within cer tain limits must le regarded as a neces sity. There are many things he can do for the farmers which the latter cannot do so profitably for themselves, and un der such conditions it is wise to employ him. The evil which exists at the pres ent day in this direction could undoubt edly be mitigated by, first, a familiarity on the part of the farmer himself with the njnFket value of that which he has to sell, and second, a better system, of co-operation among the farmers both in the disposal of their crops, and fn the purchase of their supplies. gamrlino in farm products. Few there are but are familiar with and deplore the conversion of our ex changes ami boards of trade, originallv designed for the encouragement and convenience of legitimate trading, into vast gambling places, fraught with the gravest danger to the country at large, but of which the farmer, whose products are thus made the toy and plaything of the game, is the immediate and chief sufferer. The frequent and extreme fluctuations of price occasioned by The operation of irresponsible speculators is the bane of the producer, whose best interests will ever be served by the maintenance of a firm and reliable mar ket. To the allegation, not infrequently made, that if at times prices are thus unduly depressed, there are also times when they are unduly raised, there is a simple reply. As already asserted, .not only are fluctuation and uncertainty the bane of the producer, but the specula tive combinations which result in unduly raising or depressing prices are carefully calculated to raise them when the goods are no longer in the producer's hands and to depress them when thev are. Unquestionably legislation is needed to remedy this evil and it should ho based on the principle that the evil is n6l a necessary one, requiring legislation, but an utterly inexcusable tine, to be cured by eradication. CONTROLiINO COMBINATIONS. Much has been said and written alleg ing the existence of unlawful combina tions for the express purpose of 'con trolling the markets as to lower the price of the farmer's products, and of other combinations whose object it is to raise the price of the articles which the farm er consumes. That such combinations exist it is impossible to doubt, and 'the serious results of their greed and selfish- Ladies' Jersey vests each 10c Ladies' and children's corset waists i 50110 &$li!5 Leading brandd.

This is i one oi luose evus so riuseii uiiieu iu nit? matter of interstate commerce, that its ! regulation may possibly fall within the i attainable save as they infringe upon the legitimate rights of others. In spite of these difficulties, however, there can not lie any doubt that an earnest demand for adequate legislation on this subject, sustained by popular opinion, receiving the earnest attention of onr strongest ( minds, will eventually result in some adequate means of controlling this gigantic evil. protection for the farmer. I now come to the consideration of one of the gravest causes in my opinion of the present 'agricultural depression, but which 1 am happy to state can be effectually and directly dealt with" through national legislation. Few peo ple realize that our imports of agricul tural products estimated at prices pa'id by the consumers are about equal to agricultural products estimated at prices paid to the farmer, yet such is the case. Our imports of products sold in compe tition with those actually produced on our own soil, amotnt to nearly S115,000, 000 and as much more could be produc ed on our own soil under favorable con ditions. We must surely conclude that we have here another cause of depres sion. Washington Letter. From onr regular correspondent. Secretary Windom savs he has lieen . t misrepresented by certnin publications 'lw&BlUin$-iilM ViewH on tlie BUver-iM- tion. What he told the republican cau cus committee was, that there were only two ways in which the credit of the gov ernment could be protected in the large issue of treasury notes contemplated by the proposed silver bill. One is by the bullion redemption plan proposed in the Windom silver bill now before the house committee, and the other is by author izing the sale of bonds to provide a gold reserve when it becomes necessary to redeem them. The latter plan he thinks unjustifiable, and hence he favors the bullion redemption proposition. Mr. Windom is in accord with the republi can leaders of congress in believing that a largo increase of the amount of money in circulation in the United States is absolutely necessary. Mr. Blaine's farewell speech to the Three America's congress, just before that body adjourned sine die on Satur urday, was, like all of that gentleman's public utterances, a moddel of its kind. The president also made a short farewell address that was happily conceived and delivered. Tardy justice has at last been done to the old hero Gen. John C. Fremont. The bill placing him on the retired list of the army with the rank of major general has been passed bv house and senate and is now in the hands of the president. The senate committee on public build ings and grounds has reported favorably the bill providing for the erection of an equestrian statue of Gen. U. S. Grant in this city. Bills have also been intro duced in lioth house and senate provid ing for the acceptance from the G. A. R. or a statue or Oen. Grant and the plac ing of it in the statuary hall of the capitol. The unanimity with which the repub licans have received the McKinley tariff bill has completely disconcerted the the democrats. Where they expected to find three or four factions of the opposi tion they find the party solidly favoring the measure, and determined to pass it at the present session and what galls the democratic jade, most of all is the knowledge that under the present rules of the house it will be impossible for them to prevent its passage. The house committee on poet offices has reported favorably the bill author izing the postmaster' general to build post offices at all towns where the gross reciepts nave exceeded $3,UUu a year for the proceeding two years. Senator Beagan has offered in the senate a constitutional amendment for the election of senatqrs by Tote of the people. Senator Mitchell already has a similar amendment before the' senate and tomorrow he will make a speech in its favor. The republican caucus committee is still engajied in trying to perfect a sil ver bill which will be acceptable to the caucuses of both house and senate. It is a very diflicult undertaking, but it is believed that the committee will ulti mately succeed. A large breeze was created in the house on Friday over the southern war claims bill introduced recently bv Mr. Eulore of Tennessee. A newspaper hav ing -margec- ijat, the bdl was a job, Mr. Eulore made a personal, explanation in which he denied the charge of jobbery. Mr. Thomas of Wisconsin, who is chair man of the committee on war claims, then staled that the passage of such a bill would be infamous as he knew that the claimants in the bill were, a number of them, notably disloyal. Further trouble was avoided by the house voting to go into committee of the whole on the private calendar. The senate has been discussing the the bill to transfer the revenue marine service from the treasury to the navy department, and it is probable that a vote may be reached this week. Its passage is doubtful. The senate rules will probably be overhauled soon. The reason is that at present there is nothing in them to prevent a debate going on indefinitely if enough senators take the trouble to talk. The point was never raised until .Special bargains in muslin underwear skirts and chemise 49, 59, 69C. Worth double.
