pronounced it a genuine case of Asiatic
cholera.
And now it is charged against the
golden rod, which has been adopted as
the national flower, by the farmers' na
tional congress, that it is poisonous, a
case being reported from New York
where a whole family were afflicted with
something like la grippe, resulting from
the presence of a bunch of golden rods
in the house.
The Schuyler Sun has tho following
references to a candidate in vrLo u
Platte county takes an interest: "Tlu
Sun has heard the name of Frank H.
Kolm mentioned as a suitable candidate
for state senator. Mr. Kolm is one of
the brightest young republicans of this
city and the Sun could give him its
hearty support and is euro he would
stand a splendid chance of being elect
ed." "Why not givethe nomination for
senator to James Langley. Mr. Langley
is one of the old wheelhorse republicans
who has done as much for republican
ism as any man in the county and has
never asked for any office but once. He
has the ability, too, to give us a splendid
representation.
The old saying that trouble never
come single has a verification in the case
of O. P. Martin of Maple Creek, Colfax
county. The Sun says: "In the spring
he was kicked on the arm by a horse
having it broken. This kept him from
his work most of the time and was a
great hindrance in tending to his crops.
This rammer four of his children have
been sick, we believe he stated with
fever, and his little daughters, who is
saren years of age, has become blind by
reason'of her sickness. She is a bright
little thing and Mr. Martin does not
wish her to go through life without
schooling, consequently will send her to
to the school for the blind at Nebraska
City."
If the esteemed Omaha World-Herald
wants to keep up the business of asking
questions of the candidates before the
people this year it might propound a
few interesting interrogations concern
ing the life and beliefs of Mr. Boyd. As
the editor of the World-Herald has lived
in Omaha a good many years he ought
to be able to frame several spicy ques
tions. They would create a bigger sen
sation than the prohibition chestnut.
Lincoln Journal.
We second that motion. And just
now is the proper time for giving the
desired information. Principles and
men has always been a sort of high-water
motto with the democracy, and it is al
together becoming that our friend of the
World-Herald, running a "reform" or
gan, should ask a few questions or tell
what he knows concerning Mr. Boyd.
We probably should not be inclined to
insist on the matter so strenuously were
it not that our friend of the World-Herald
baa et himself up as a questioner.

DORSET RENOMINATED.
The Big Third District NoMlmatea Hiaa the
Foarth Tiac.
Delegates from the great Third dis
trict of Nebraska met in convention at
the opera house in this city Wednesday
evening of last week at 8 o'clock. The
assembled multitude were promptly
called to order by E. H. Barnard of Fre
mont, chairman of the congressional cen
tral committee. He started to read the
call, but, on motion, was relieved from
further work in that direction.
J. R Hays of Norfolk was selected as
temporary chairman, and responded to
call by a short speech, eulogistic of re
publican men and measures.
C. K. Cull of Burt county was selected
as temporary secretary, and W. T.
Hastings of Garfield and G. H. Prine of
Perkins, assistants.
C. C. McNish, secretary of the central
committee, began to read a list of dele
gates as prepared by the committee, but
before he had gone far, Conger of Sher
man moved to dispense with further
reading, and adopt the report. Tiffany
of Boone moved to amend by rejecting
proxies and allowing delegates present
to cast the full vote of counties. Jack
son of Antelope moved to amend exclud
ing proxies from voting on the question.
The chair ruled that an amendment to
an amendment was not in order. Jack
son appealed from the 'decision of the
chair, but the appeal was not insisted
upon after the statement was made that
Jackson himself was present as a proxy.
The matter was decided by a vote of 221
to 114 and the proxies allowed to remain.
On mo ion of Miles of Sidney the tem
porary organization was made perma
nent.
S.B. Cunningham of Dawes county,
an aged republican who voted succes
sively for Gen. Harrison, Henry Clay,
Taylor, Scott and the republican nomi
nees for president, was selected as vice
president, and diffidently expressed his
thanks.
On motion of Neabitt of Lincoln coun
ty, the chair appointed as a committee
on resolutions, the following: John J.
Nesbitt of Lincoln; E. M. Coffin, Valley;
C. W. Hyatt, Dodge; R A. Moore, Buffa
lo; W. P. Miles, Cheyenne; M. D. Cam
eron, Colfax; N. A. Rainbolt, Madison.
C. W. Hyatt of Dodge moved that
nominating speeches be dispensed with
and that the convention proceed at once
to take an informal ballot for candidate
for congress.
The result of the ballot was as follows:

The first formal ballot was then taken,
a few changes being made from the in
formal as above recorded, and the result,
as announced by the chair was the nom
ination of Mr. Dorsey by a vote of 230
out of 338.
Mr. Dorsey came forward and was in
troduced by the chairman as the present
and next congressman from the Third
district, and said:
Mr. I hairman and gentlemen of the
jiveution:
I am profoundly grateful to this con
vention for the kindness with which I
nave been treated. This is the fourth
time the republican party of the Third
district has honored me with the nomi
nation. This will be the last tima that
the Big Third will ever meet in conven
tion for a nomination. Before two years
have elapsed the district will be divided
and you will form a part of three dis
tricts and then some of the gentlemen
who have striven for this nomination, I
hope will be honored in the district that
will then be set apart. I will say to
them right now that after they have had,
as I have had, six years of life at 'Wash
ington representing this constituency,
the grandest constituency represented
by any man on the floor, they will feel
as I do, that there are burdens to be
borne of which they have no idea until
they have been called upon to pass
through the service.
Gentlemen of the convention I am
glad to look into the faces of so many
earnest republican workers of the Third
district. We heard in Washington that
there was not a corporal's guard of re
publicans left in certain counties in the
state of Nebraska; that they had gone
to the alliance movement and that when
the roll was called in November of the
republican hosts to march as usual to
victory there would be but few to re
spond and that our flag would be trail
ing in dishonor. I did not believe it
Applause. You have nominated a
ticket at Lincoln that will sweep the
6tate this fall and I promise to beat Mr.
Thompson of Grand Island seven thous
and votes in the Third district. Perhaps
you think this an idle boast but if I
didn't understand and know the feeling
throughout the district I would not ac
cept this nomination at your hands.
Gentlemen, the Fifty-first congress has
given the republicans of the nation an
incentive to victory in November. It
has been the grandest congress assem
bled since the period of the war, a busi
ness congress and it has been a fight
from the start to the finish. Never have
such scenes been enacted on the floor, in
the house, as have transpired during
this session. But we made no mistake
when we put in the speaker's chair, that
intrepid spirit. Reed of Maine. I place
Mr. Reed next to James G. Blaine, and
the state of Maine is to be congratulated
that she has two such noble sons. He
was not a Reed (reed) to be shaken
by the wind of democratic abuse, but
from his place he calmly looked down
upon the howling mob of democrats
applausel as they beat and surged
against him as the waves against the
rock bound shores of his native state,
and like those self same waves they were
thrown back until they ceased their
struggles, for they were not courting
that kind of attention. As I said, the
Fifty-firet congress has been the grand
est congress assembled since the war and
the house of representatives has placed
in the hands of the republicans of this
country that with which they can win
grandly in November. Every bill
has been passed that the farmers of
the country asked for. Have not we
given you the silver bill? No such ben
eficial legislation has been passed for
many a day, putting up the price of sil
ver from 92 cents to $1.20, and every ar
ticle raised on the farms of Nebraska
has appreciated in a like ratio with sil
p Thon a named the disability
pension Dili ror me oiu uoiuior. ;
know what that means? It puts on the

soldiers and 80,000 widows and orphans.
It takes from the treasury or inis nanou
$60,000,000; that in addition to the $100,
000,000 that we appropriated before
hand, takes nearly two-fifths of the
money expended in order to pay the pen
sion of the soldier.
There are several other bills that I
might mention.
The pure lard bill, the anti-trust bill
and others, all petitioned for by farmers.
We passed the election bill and congress
will instruct the judges in the districts
of the country to punish any man who
attempts to deprive any citizen of this
country of his right to vote and have
that vote honestly counted. Applause.
I will not take up more of your time.
There are other gentlemen here that I
wish to hear from this evening and
thanking you again will say that I am
ready for the canvass in the Third dis
trict. The unsuccessful candidates were then
called out, responding in the following
order: Harrison, Hamer, Norris and
Meiklejohn. All gave expression to
feelings of congratulation and confidence
for the future in republican principles
and republican men.
Gov. Thayer, being on the platform,
responded to the call of the convention
and expressed himself very feelingly on
the past history of the party and its full
capability to take good care of current
issues. He characterized Mr. Dorsey as
an ardent worker and devotedly interest
ed in the welfare of his constituents.
The committee on resolutions then
made their report as follows, which was
unanimously adopted:
The republicans of the Third district
of Nebraska reiterate and endorse the
platform of principles adopted by the
last republican state convention, and we
repose implicit confidence in the great
republican party, that has stood by the
most important era in the world's histo
ry, to deal with the vital issues that still
confront us.
We cordially endorse the administra
tion of President Harrison, as being one
of the most safe and conservative in our
hiBtory.
We most heartily endorse the wi6e
action of the present congress in its
passage of measures that concern the
old soldiers, but we earnestly urge that
no halt be made in that direction until
every man who wore the blue and carried
arms in the defense of the institutions
vra nn-ar aninv who Aflkfl it. be nlaced On
the pension rolls of the government that
he gave the best years of his life to per
petuate. We earnestly recommend that meas
ures be enacted tending to purify the
American ballot and to that end we de
sire the passage of the Australian ballot
system.
We are in favor of a revision of our
methods of assessment and earnestly
urge that all property, public and pri
vate, be listed at its aotual cash value, as
the present methods are against the
interests of the laborer and producer
and to the interest of the dealers and
the capitalist.
I e iavor a revision oi iue inriu iu mo
intarnat nt tlio lnhnrar and nroducer and
that import duties on articles of com
mon use should be made as low as prac
tical and that lumber and salt should be
placed on the free list.
We cordially endorse the action of the
present congress on its silver legislation,
but demand that the work be continued
until it is placed on a perfect equality
with gold.
We earnestly endorse the public ware
house plank of the republican state plat
form and demand of our legislators that
such a measure be enacted at the next
session.
We demand that the local railroad
rates of Nebraska be placed at an equit
able and just basis to both producer and
carriers.
Resolved, That we are in hearty accord
with the policy of J. G. Blaine and his
reciprocity policy with foreign nations.
The central committee was then
named, with W. E. Peebles of Thurston
county as chairman Edwin Hoare is
the committee man for Platte county.
The convention adjourned at 11
o'clock.
Iaports and Export.
Secretary Blaine recently made a great
speech at Waterville, Me., in which he
set forth the advantages of reciprocity
of trade with other American nations in
a masterly manner as the following sum
mary of facts presented concerning the
balance of trade with other countries
fully shows.
American exports to Europe, Asia,
Africa, Australia, Canada and Hawaii,
(1889) $658,000,000.
American imports from same, $537,-
000,000.
Balance in our favor, $129,000,000.
Balance against us in trade with the
world, $12,000,000.
Amount lost elsewhere than in first
named continents and countries, $142,
000,000. American exports to South American
countries, $75,000,000.
American imports from same, $216,
000,000. Balance against us in South American
trade, 8142,000,000.
This speech has already borne its fruit
in proposed amendments to the McEin
ley tariff bill by which the principle of
reciprocity is to be incorporated in con
gressional action. Thus sugar goes on
the free list conditioned upon a like con
cession to the agricultural products of
this country. French wines will be ad
mitted to our markets on the same terms
accorded by that government to Ameri
can meats, and Canadian merchandise
in a like manner. Countries that place
export duties upon goods as we remove
the import duties from them are to be
discriminated against, and the broad
principle is laid down that favors extend
ed should be fully met by favors receiv
ed. This is right and just, and as a
principle in the doctrine of protection
it is unassailable, and will no doubt
meet with the most cordial endorsement
of the country. State Journal.
Now for Senator.
Now that the republicans have done
so well in their nominations it behooves
them to exercise discreetness in the se
lection of a candidate to represent the
12th senatorial district in the state sen
ate. We have a number of able men
who would be an honor to their con
stituency. A candidate is needed who
has the confidence of the people of this
and Platte counties and who is known to
possess ability and judgment. No non
descript is needed. The spirit of the
times demands men in whom we will
have confidence. With a strong candi
date in the field and a three-cornered-fight
on, the republicans have a first-class
chance of carrying the day and sweeping
the field. Let as then be watchful and
give the voters good material to cast
their ballots for.
These words of the Schuyler Sun are
not only wise but timely. Those stand
ing in representative' positions in the
councils of their political party should
act in the general interest in the selec
tion of candidates. It is only thus that
voters gain confidence in the manago
of party workers. The republicans of
this district have a large numlierot able,
conscientious, well-informed men who
would honor themselves and their entire
constituency by work in the state senate,
and out of these a choice should be made.
Select a good man.

There is more profit in feeding young
animals than old ones.
Make your pig-pen a hog sanitarium

As the pasturage fails, grain or other

The larger the animal, the larger must

Instead of waiting to find out which is
the best breed, invest in ono that suits
you and give it the best chance possible.
Before long you will think you have the

C. P. Goodrich, at a Wisconsin insti
tute, said: "I think as good a grain ra
tion as you can get for cows is one-third

to 14 pounds to each cow daily.
There is always boiiio scoundrel go
ing around the country, working a
scheme on the unwary. One time, it is
a pedler or lightning rods, another of
fence posts, or cloth or groceries or
stoves or well tho latest is a churn. A
special from Nebraska City says: A few
days ago J. W. Buffer of Blue Springs,
Neb., selling torritory for a new patent
churn, visited Mrs. Margaret Haupt
man, near Julian. Ho appointed her son
an agent for the churn and afterwards
sold him territory, his mother going on
two notes, one for $120 and one for S80.
It soon became apparant that tho whole
thing was a fraud, and Mrs. Hanptman
came hero today and told her story.
After soino trouble Buffer was found
and gave up the notes.
The Irish question is by no means
settled. A special from Dublin, under
date of the 18th, had this to say: Mr.
John Dillon, M. P., and John O'Brien
were arrested for their utterances in
Ireland. The former was taken in cus
tody at his residence, near Dublin, and
immediately escorted to the railroad
station, where he was placed on a special
train en route for Tipperary. Ho was
accompanied by a largo military escort.
O'Brien was taken in custody at Glen
garris and conveyed to Cork. Warrants
for tho arrest of Patrick O'Brien, Com

Washington Letter.
From onr regular correnpondtut. 1
Representative McKinley has long
been known as ono of the hardest work
ers in congress, but ho and hid republi
can colleagues on tho houso ways and
means committee broko all previous
records for speedy committee work, in
the consideration of tho tariff bill. It
did not get over to the house until Fri
day afternoon; it was immediately re
ferred to tho coiiimittee,aud this after
noon it was all ready to be reported to
the house. The committee recommends
non-concurrence in all of the senate
amendments, leaving it to tho confer
ence committee to settle the small differ
ence of opinion which exist. If there is
is no hitch the bill will bo in tho hands
of the conference committee bv Wednes
day, and it is expected that it will bo re
ferred back to the house and senate
within a week. The only amendments
upon which there is likely to be a stub
born controversy are tho sugar and
binding-twino amendments. Tho latter
will hardly be changed, but it would not
bo surprising if sugar goes as it was in
the original house bill. All rumors of
any intention on the part of the house
to antagonize the reciprocity amendment
aro simply bosh.
The attempt to get up a financial flur
ry on account of the passage of tho tariff
bill with a clause which makes it go into
effect October 1, has fallen very flat. It
was stated that it would require S50.000,-
000 to enable the imiortors to get their
goods out of the bonded ware houses by
that date, but Gen. Nettleton, assistant
secretary of the treasury, very quickly
put an end to that story by showing that
not over 810,000,000 would be required,
and he stated that between now and the
first of October the treasury would re
lease more that $32,000,000 in addition
to the ordinary expenditures. An at
tempt was made in certain quarters to
coerce the administration to adopt the
Cleveland policy of distributing large
sums of government money in the na
tional banks to relieve the stringency in
the money market, but it did not suc
ceed. Neither the president nor Secre
tary Windom believe in that sort of
financiering.
Saturday was eulogy day in congress
in the senate the late Samuel J. Ran
dall was the subject and in the house
Senator Beck. The custom is a beauti
ful one, and no one should have a word
to say against it, but in view of the time
consumed thus at this session nearly a
full month many congressmen favor
the adoption of a suggestion recently
made to hold these services on bundays.
The committee investigating the civil
service law held a session Saturday, at
which Representative Grosvenor accus
ed the civil service commissioner of de
liberate misrepresentation. The com
mittee has adjourned until December.
Its members are as tired of the subject
as the public.
The committee investigating the
charges against Gen. Raum has practi
cally completed its work, and a report
completely exonerating Gen. Raum on
each and every charge made is expected
from it this week.
The sollowing bills by aggreement of a
republican caucus are to be considered
by the senate in the order named: The
anti-lottery bill; repeal of the timber
culture law; bill establishing private
land-claim courts; bill for relief of U. S.
supreme court; bill for adjustment of la
borers' claims under eight hour law;
bill making eight hours a day's work for
laborers in government employ, or en
gaged in doing government work; bill to
transfer the revenue marine service from
the treasury to the navy department;
bill for the settlement of claims arising
from Indian depredations; Paddock pure
food bill (this to be substituted for the
compound lard bill which recently pass
ed the house); Torrey bankrupt bill;
bill to place telegraph companies under
the interstate commerce law, and bills
relating to the District of Columbia.
Owing to the action of the democrats
in leaving the house and breaking a
quorum, a whole week has been wasted,
and it will be no better this week unless
enough republicans show up to make a
quorum exclusive of democrats.
Big democrats are whispering ugly
accusations against each other. It seems
that there was an enormous corruption
fund raised to beat Speaker Reed, and
the men who contributed the money are
accusing somebody of having stolen it.
One of them said, "We sent enough
money into that district to buy two
Maines, and there is nothing to show
for it."
The republicans of the house held a
caucus Saturday night and decided that
Mr. McKiddey's resolution discharging
the committee of the whole of the house
from further consideration of the tariff
bill was tie proper way to facilitate
things, as it will save considerable time.
The caucus did not officially discuss the
the date set for the tariff bill to go into
effect, but from informal expressions of
opinion it is 'thought that there is a
strong probability that the date will be
extended to about February 1, 1891.
Republican Platform.
Tho republicans of Nebraska reiterate
and cordially indorso the fundamental
principles of tue republican party as
eunciated by successive national repub
lican conventions from 1856 to 1888 and
believe the republican party capable of
dealing with every vital issue that con
cerns the American people, wherever the
rank and file of the republican party are
untrammeled in tho exorcise of their po
litical rights.
We heartily indorse the wise and con
servative administration of President
Harrison. We also fully approve the
wise action of the republican members
of both houses of congress in fulfilling
the pledges of the party in legislation
upon the coinage of silver and other
measures of national importance and
congratulate the country upon the con
tinued reduction of the national debt.
We most heartily indorse the action of
the republican congress in passing the
lis-iliilit.v Tionsinn liill mill s mnnhlionn
president who approved the same andly
regard it as an act oi justice too long
dclaved because of the opposition to nil
just ponsion legislation by a democratic
congress; yet we do not regard it as the
full recognition of the great debt of ob
ligation which tho government and the
people owe to those heroic men by rea
son of whoso sacrifice and devotion the
union was saved and the government
restored. We do further repeat our
declaration in favor of just and fair serv
ice pensions graded according to length
of service for every soldier and sailor
who fought in behalf of the union, and
by reason of whose services and devotion
the government now exists.
We hold an honest, popular ballot
and equal representation of all the peo
ple to be tho foundation of our republi
can government and demand effective
legislation to secure the integrity and
purity of elections, which are the foun
dation of all public authority.
We favor such revision of the election
laws of tho state as will guarantee to
every voter the greatest possible secrecy
in the casting of his ballot and secure
the punisiiment of any who attempt the
corruption or intimidation of voters, and
we favor the Australian ballot system
for incorporated towns and cities, appli
cable both to primary and regular elec
tions so far as it can conform to our
organic law.
Wo oppose land monopoly in every
form, demand the forfeiture of unearned
land grants and the reservation of the
public domain for homesteaders only.
We recognize the right of labor to or
ganize for its protection and by all law
ful and peaceful means to secure to
itself tho createst reward for thrift and
industry. Wo are in favor of laws com
pelling railroads and manufacturers to
U6eall appliances which science supplies
for the protection of laborers against
accident. We demand the enactment of
a law defining the liability of employers
for injuries sustained by employes in
cases where proper safeguards have not
been used in occupations dangerous to
life, limb or health; railway and other
public corporations should be subject
to control through the legislative power
that created them. Their undue influ
ence in legislation and imposition of
unnecessary burdens upon the people
and illegitimate increase of stock or
capital should be prohibited by strin
gent laws.
We demand of the state that the
nronertv of corporations shall be taxed
the same as that of individuals; that the
provisions of our constitution, requiring
tho assessment of franchises shall be en
forced bv suitable legislation.
Wo demand the reduction of freight
and itassenirer rates on railroads to cor
respond with rates now prevailing in
adjacent states in the Mississippi valley,
and we further demand that tho next
legislature shall nDousli all passes or
free transportation on railroads, except
ing for employes of tho railroad cjiu
names.
We demand tho establishment of the
system of postal telegraphy, and request
our members in congress to vote ant!
work for government ownership or con
trol of the telegraph.
Wo indorse tho action of tho inter
state commission in ordering a reduction
of tho grain rates between the Missouri
riyer and lake ports.
We favor tho modification of the stat
utes of our state in such manner as shall
prevent the staying of judgments se
cured for work and labor, and the enact
ment of such laws as shall provide for
the speedy collection of the wages of our
laborers.
We favor a revision of the tariff in the
interest of the producer and hiborer.
The import duties on articles of common
use should bo placed as low as is con
sistent with tho protection of American
industries.
Wo denounce all organizations of cap
italists to limit productions, control
supplies of the necessities of life and
advance prices as detrimental to the
best interests of society and as unjusti
fiable interference with the natural laws
of competition and trade and ask their
prompt suppression.
The republican party has given tho
people an elastic currency of gold, silver
and paper, and has raised the credit of
the nation to one of the highest of any
country in tho world, and its efforts to
fully remonetizo silver should be contin
ued'until it is on a perfect equality as a
money metal with gold.
Owners of public elevators that receive
and handle grain for storage should be
declared public warehousemen and com
pelled under penalty to receive, store,
ship and handle the grain of all persons
alike, without discrimination. The state
regulating charge for storage and in
spection. All railroad companies should
bo reotiired to switch, haul, receive and

fhc figure 9 in our dates will roako a long ttay.
So man or woman now living will ever date a
Jocument without using the figure 9. It stands
in the third place in 1S90, where it will remain tea
years and then move up to :econd place In 1900,
where it will rest for one hundred years.
There is another "9" which has also come to stay.
It is unlike the figure 9 in our dates in the respect
that it has already moved up to first place, where
It will permanently remain. It is called the "No.
3" High Arm Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine.
The "No. 9" was endorsed for first place by the
experts of Europe at the Paris Exposition of 1889,
where, after a severecontest with the leading ma
chines of the world, it was awarded the only
Grand Prize given to family sewing machines, all
others on exhibit having received lower awards
of gold medals, etc The French Government
also recognized its superiority by the decoration of
Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler, Presidentof the company,
with the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
The "No. 9" is not an old machine improved
upon, but 13 an entirely new machino, and the
Grand Prize nt Paris was awarded it as the grand
est advance in sewing machine mechanism of the
age. Those who buy it can rest assured, there,
fore, of having the very latest and best.
