that the tariff is a tax and that the coun

We have it at second-hand, that Mr.
Van Housen, the democratic candidate
for senator and Mr. Wilson, the demo
cratic candidate for repreeentative,.had-
a meeting at Okay last Friday evening;
that Mr. Van H. declared that the only
difference in sentiment between himself
and Mr. Nelson was that Nelson was a
prohibitionist while he was opposed to
it, first, last and all the time, and that
even if the amendment did oarry he
would do all he could against it; that
Mr. Wilson said these were his senti
ments. This kind of talk was not the
approved sort for that community, and
the questions began to flow, as for in
stance: Suppose the proposed amend
ment carries and becomes a part of the
constitution, wonldn't it be your duty,
if elected to the legislature, to help
make it operative by law, etc. etc.? One
man made the declaration that a man
elected to represent the people, and who
held to the principles that these men
had avowed, w.-is letter fib for the peni
tentiary than for the legislature. Our
informant tried to explain it all away,
but Van Housen was met with the
question, Then if you hold the same as
Nelson on this subject, what difference
is there between you?
The truth is that good politics is the
same in Grand Prairie as in Okay; in
the Bohemian settlements of Colfax, as
well as the Irish and the Yankee settle
ments of Platte. Mr. Van HoiiBen,

Mri ThoponH Logic.
Candidate 'Thompson has come and
gone and in his wake he has left some
queer logic for his party adherents to
consider.
He jumped onto the republican party
with his spiked shoes and proceeded to
pnlverizo it for ita hostility to silver,
but failed to state why Secretary Man
ning under a democratic administration
recommended a single gold standard
and the whole force of Cleveland's reign
was in the interest of Wall street. He
likewise neglected to state why, if the
democrats were such friends of silver,
they voted solidly against the bill pass
ed by this congress which has enlarged
the field of usefulness of the white metal
and increased the volume of currency.
And Mr. Thompson failed to state
that the silver dollar which, under the
hostilo treatment of Cleveland's admin
istration was worth only 71 cents, is now
under tho direct treatment of a republi
can administration worth 92 cents.
The speaker was in favor of reciprocity
with Ei jlnnd, but he was against free
trade j.ml reciprocity with Latin-Ameri
ca- that is, he was for free trade and
against it, loth at the same time.
He w:is opposed to the tariff on wool
because the tariff reduced the price of
wool and annihilated the sheep industry,
while at the same time it increased the
cost of woolen goods.
This was an eye opener to the audience-
it wjis a new wrinkle in the tariff
question. It cut both ways and looked
so savagely antagonistic to the doctrine
of protection that the thirsty democrats
took it down at a gulp, without thinking
how illogical it was.
The republican party was arraigned
for ruthlessly granting public lands to
aid in tho development of the country
by the construction of railroads, when
the facts are that they have been pat
ented or certified eighty-five million
acres of the public domain to states for
internal improvements lefore the repub
lican party was lwrn in 1860 and but
thirty million since the republican party
came into power that samo year. In the
senate tho bill making the grant to tho
Northern Pacific passed that body with
out a dissenting vote and the late Thos.
A. Hendricks made au eloquent plea in
its favor.
Candidate Thompson will please come
again and explain a few things. Fre

The platform of the Third district
republicans is the only direct declaration
against the tariff that has been made by
any party. That demands free lumber
and free salt and a general modification
of the tariff on all the necessities of life.
And it may be stated that it is the posi
tion, exactly, of the man who was nomi
nated upon it.
That platform is also the only decla
ration that property shall be assessed at
its full value and that shirks, brokers
and capitalists shall be compelled to pay
their just burden of taxation.
And Mr. Dorsey sanctioned that, em
phatically. And the platform declares in favor of
public warehouses for the storage of
grain, that is of far greater import to
the farmers of Nebraska than any other
question before the farmers today.
And Mr. Dorsey is in full accord with
that.
Indeed these three planks in tho re
publican platform of the Third district
are of more importance to the farmers of
the conntry than any declarations ever
made by any political party of the state.
Fremont Flail.
Every democratic paper in the coun
try, when the Mills bill was under con
sideration kept itself busy telling the
people of tho boon it would prove to
them. Yet this same Mill's bill only
placed 40 per cent of our foreign impor
tations on the free list while the Mc
Kinley bill puts one-half of all tho
products imported on the free list,
something which no tariff bill in this
conntry has yet ever done.
The person who asserts that the Mc
Kinley bill will increase the cost of
living says something he cannot prove.
Schuyler Sun.
It is just as well for republicans not
to depend too much on rumors that the
democratic congressional campaign com
mittee has no money and that it is doing
nothing toward capturing tho noxt
house. There are reasons for believing
that such rumors are being actively cir
culated for the express purpose of
throwing the republicans off their guard
and inspiring them with an over confi
dence in the result of the November
elections. The democrats have money
in plenty, and will leave no stone un
turned to wrest the control of the house
from the republicans.
That the farmers alliance of North
Carolina have found it necessary to take
steps looking to the establishment of a
co-operative school at Moorhead City in
that state speaks volumes for tho poor
condition of their public schools. There
is not a state controlled by the republican
party, in which educational facilities are
not furnished, to all without pay, than
can possibly be obtained, outside of tho
half dozen expensive colleges, in the
southern states for pay. When the
southern voters become educated more
of them will become republicans.
Wm. Jobia'n, who arrived at Mont
Morris, N. Y., last Tuesday from Mont
Clemens, Mich., to visit his daughter,
was attacked and beaten by a gang of
roughs while standing in front of the
Scoville house. Ho died within a few
minutes. Tho assault was without any
provocation whatever. Daniel Keating,
leader of the gang, surrendered himself
next morning, and the whole of tho
gang, five in number, are now in jail.
Keating admits that he killed Joslyn.
At a general conference of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
Monday at Salt Lake, tho official decla
ration of President Woodruff was read
forbidding any marriages in violation of
the laws of the land. The conference
readopted the original articles of faith.
It is regarded as the most important
step taken by the church for more than
a quarter of a century.
The man who, on account of somo
personal grievenco or prejudice, votes
against tho political party which repre
sents every cardinal principle he believes
in, makes a mistake, and one that never
fails to come homo to roost at tho most
inconvenient time.
Silver was worth 91 cents under tho
Cleveland administration; today it is
worth 81.19. These are tho sort of
things which have given tho republican
party the confidence of tho business
men of the conntry. Ex.
Near Urliana, O., two mon lioarded a
train, entered tho express car, robbed
the safe of packages containing several
thousand dollars, and made their escape
near Belief on taine.
Isn't it about time to call tho republi

certainly nothing gained by delay.

From onr regular correeixmdcnt.1
Senator Ingalls indignantly denies tho
roport sent out from Washington that
he was paid 3600 for the speech which
he recently made in Pittsburg. Said
Mr. Ingalls: "It is an infamous false
hood. I neither expected or received
any remuneration for the speech. My
reward was the consciousness of having
done my duty, and it was amply suffi
cient." Secretary Tracy considers the recent
government tests at Annapolis of tho
relative strength of various kinds of
metal armor for naval vessels as the
most important event in maritime war
faro, if the expression be allowable in a
time of profound peace, of the age. And
congress evidently agreed with him, for
his request for nn appropriation of
$1,000,000 to purchaso nickel to.lio used

ON THE PACIFIC COAST.
California as Seen from a Buck-Beard by a
Columbux Uentlenan.
A word somewhat personal may not be
out of place, to explain how this camping
expedition canto about. I had been
strongly advised to spend the winter on
this coast. There are a great many
health and pleasure resorts hero where
thousands of eastern people attracted by
the favorable winter climate, spend that
season, but lo remain any considerable
time at such places would be exceeding
ly irksome to me, even if I could afford i
the expense. Tho ordinary hotel and
lioardiug house life would be even worse.
To travel continuously by rail is also too
expensive; besides, tho trains often take
you to places you do not care for and
leave at ono side, just what you want
most to see. I found here a very gen
eral custom of families and parties going
on camping expeditions during the sum
mer. Tho heat of the inland towns
drives people to the mountains or the
coast, ami tho people from th cooler
coast regions camp becauso others do, or
liecauso they like it. Some whoso time
or purse does not allow of extended
tours, put a little Iietiding, a few rooking
utensils, some horse feed and a cheap
tent, into a wagon, tho family getting on
top, or a part of it into another light
conveyance, and go into somo canon of
the mountains or to some fishing ground
not far away and spend a week, taking
their supply of food with them, or do
pending on tho groceries and farm
houses they pass on tho way, and they
have a good time. Fanners as well as
town people mako these excursions.
Often several of a neighborhood go tin
these expeditions together. Somo mako
a more elaborate and expensive matter
of it. I know a merchant in Santa Bar
bara who rigged up a very comfortable
threo-seatod conveyance and arranged to
carry the camping equipage, put on a
team of four mules, took his family and
spont two and a half months this sum
mer, traveling 1,350 miles. Ho told mo
they lived in tho tent sill tho timo and
enjoyed the trip wonderfully, and ho
camo back greatly recruited in health,
spending a short timo in a place. Par
ties from tho coast usually go to tho
mountains, whilo those from the interior
como to tho coast. The entire absence
of rain during tho sumnior season makes
this out-door living practicable, which
it would not be, oxcopt for the most
hardy people, in our country. Well, it
occurred to me that I might utilize this
custom. So I bought a good, strong
horse and a buck-board mado expressly
for mountain traveling. Iloraes are
cheap over here. They seem to bo raised
as easily as in old mission times. At
Santa Barbara mission tind two or three
others, they increased so fast that every
few years they found tho ranges over
stocked and the surplus was ordered to
lie killed. At one time, I think in 1830,
after allotting 'M horses to each family
under the jurisdiction of Santa Barbara
mission, all tho rest were ordered to lie
slaughtered, and tho result was that
7,000 horses wero killed, and large nuni
liers at other times. This is a matter of
record among the old mission archives
now existing. From the numlK-r of
horses wo soo in the great pastures here
now, it would seem that either a general
killing or shipping would soon be neces
sary. I got an 8 year-old, most excel
lent horse for our purpose for 80, and
very good light horses are sold for from
30 to S70. My son, who is spending his
vacation over here, decided to go with
me for a time; our wardrobe is contain
ed in two common traveling satchels; a
pair of blankets and quilt each consti
tute our bedding, a close box for food: a
sack of grain for tho horse, and a com
fortable little tent, which can be put up
or taken down in five minutes, composo
our outfit, making all told less than 200
pounds weight and tho cost, aside from
tho horse and buggy, was but trilling.
I speak of these personal matters sim
ply liecauso if tho experiment results in
what it promises now, I hope to induce
others needing the same sort of rest, to
try it. Wo started Aug. 26th, reaching
this place last evening, the distance be
ing 274 miles, and wo lay over Saturday
wishing to remain over Sunday in the
town wo had reached. W have neither
slopt in a house nor eaten a meal we did
not prepare ourselves, since wo started.
I have gainod already several pounds in
flesh and much more in spirit. Wo have
enjoyed ourselves immensoly and havo
learned more of tho country and people
than wo possibly could have done in any
other way. Our enliro expenses havo
been less than tho lioard of ono of us at
any respectable hotol anywhere, and I
havo not lived as well since I camo to
California as during tho past ten days.
I should 1m very sorry to go back to
common hotel fare. It's a fact. Tho
other night wo camo to a village where
wo oxjiected to camp, but tho livery
stable man would sell us no hay to go
out of tho barn. As it was lato I pro
posed to stay at tho hotol for a night.
Fred said "No, I would rather drivo on
till we como to somo farm where they
will sell us hay, than to havo to eat hotel
fare." I was really of tho samo mind
and we drovo on a milo or two, and no
traveler at San Francisco's Palace Hotel
paying 7 a day enjoyed his supper bet
ter than wo did ours if it was cooked by
ourselves after dark, nor had a more re
freshing sleep in his linen sheets on soft
mattresses in that veritable palace than
wo did rolled in our blankets on tho
liosom of mother earth under our little
tent!
At a future time I hope to givo somo
facts and impressions that 1 have gath
ered on the way, that may interest the
readers of these hastily written letters.
We aro headed Tor the Yo Semite coun
try but expect to take in somo interest
ing sections on the way. We remain in
this most interesting place till tomorrow.
Our tent is pitched in a grovo of live
(evergreen) oaks, just out r the town
facing tho most beautiful bay. It was
hero that Captain Mervino on tho 7th of
July, 1846, raised the stars and stripes
amid the booming of cannon from tho
shipping in tho harlior ami cheering of
citizens on land and the proclamation
was read declaring California henceforth
a iortion of the Uuited States. The
location is most delightful, fronting the
harbor, with .tho pine-clad mountains
rising grandly on three sides. The old
town has a very foreign look. It con
tains but 2,700 people. In tho suburbs
is the noted Hotel del Monte, a celebra
ted winter resort for eastern people aud
owned and managed by Southern Pacific
R. R. It is claimed to lie the finest sea
side resort in the world. I can only 6ay
that it exceeds anything I have ever
seen either in this country or in Europe.
The grounds consisting of 126 acres,
wonderfully well adapted for the pur
pose by nature, are kept in order by a
constant force of between 30 and 40 men,
under the direction of one of the best
landscape gardeners in America, and
everything else is done on tho samo mag
nificent scale. J. H. Reed.

ALL1ANCB TURN-OUT.
A tJreat Day for the Farmers and TSiey were
Here by the Hundred.
Saturday last was a "crowder" for the
indeendent party in this county, and
no mistake.
Tho business houses of tho city were
decorated with the national colors, and
banners giving hearty greeting to tho
men, women, lioys and girls, on whoso
intelligence and worth rests the general
welfare of the country.
"Agriculture is the bulwark of our
country:" "The keys of tho city are
yours;" "Columbus greets you all;"
"Welcome to Columbus" were among
the sentiments flying to tho breeze.
Aliout 11 o'clock the parade started
through tho streets, and consisted of
men on horseback, and men, women and
children in all kinds of vehicles. Some
of the sentiments on banners, etc., were
indeed very striking, among them wo
make note of: A better day is coming:
Tho farmers must rule; Tho farmers
will vote as they plowed straight; In
union thero is strength; Wo aro inde
jKMident voters; Let law give equal
rights; Wo aro the hay seeds; a lioy on
horseback carried a bloody shirt :ih a
banner, another a stick marked "slan
der;" No iMiIiticians need apply; Kem
we trust; Down with tho bosses.
Among tho alliances represented wo
noticed Wattsville, Shell Creek, Reed,
Platto Valley, Smith Centor, Richland,
Burnunt, rrairio Creek, Okay, Fairviow,
Pleasant Valley, Palestine, Eureka,
Mayville, Ridge, Lost Creek, Duncan.
Ono of tho most noticeable floats was
that in which a farm bell was placed
upon the top of a post, the inscription
reading uRing, grandpa, ring for lilier
ty," S. O. Raymond representing grand
pa, and giving tho ropo a vigorous pull
occasionally. A banner had on it tho
words of Novillo at tho democratic con
vention moving tho endorsement of
Kem, and thoso of John G. Higgins de
claring that the alliance was a side
show. Ono old democrat says "tell
them that tho situation is reversed- the
allianco is ono of tho main tents, and
the democracy is now tho side show."J
Another striking exhibition was a
hard looking team, drawing a dilapidat
ed wagon on which wero broken-down
hay-ladders and a very rudely construct
ed cabin tent; tho driver was clad in
rags, with belt mado of hay rope, a piece
of board for a whip. Over till was

It, was dinner time when the proces

After dinner the speaking took place
in Frankfort Square, G. C. Harnum
presiding, and Mayor R. II. Henry wel
coming the throng to the city.
Tho first speaker was M. L. Wheat of
Iowa, and his speech was made from
the standpoint of the Knights of Labor,
of which organization he is an influential
member. He is a very entertaining
speaker and said some excellent things
that most men of all political parties ap
prove. Ho ridiculed the notion of over
production - it was under consumption,
the men who toil do not get their just
share of the good things of life. There
is too much of our soil going into tho
h inds of foreign nobles ami syndicates,
now amounting to 31,500,000 acres. Our
circulating medium has been tampered
with to the injury of tho producers. He
combated the notion that mortgages are
evidences of prosperity. Money has
control of the products of toil. At
present, prices it would require nioro
cattle, hogs, wheat or corn to pay our
national debt than it did at tho close
of the war.
O. M. Kem, the independent candidate
for congress was tho next speaker. Ho
is not so largo a man as Dorsey nor so
small as Thompson; his manner as a
speaker gives ono tho impression that
ho is earnest. Ho g.-ivo a short review
of his campaign since his nomination in
this city. Ho told his audience that
from appearances in this campaign tho
pcoplo had not been so aroused in their
own interests, sinco 18(0. Tho salvation
of tho homo is tho problem before tho
people today. Notwithstanding years
of hard work and niggardly economy,
tho homes of tho pcoplo aro lioing taken
from them. Tho system of things is
against us, and wo havo reached the
point whero wo aro going to cease to lieg
for our own. Our system of things
during tho past twenty-five years has
produced moro paupers and millionaires
than evor before, whilo tho laboring peo
ple havo produced more than in any ago
of tho world during tho samo limit of
time.
lie spoko of tho currency as tho life
blood of commerce, and commented up
on tho bad jRiIicy of issuing inlerest
Iiearing lionds. Ho laid down his finan
cial iwliey as: First, To crcato money
enough to meet the demands of trade
whether it is $25, $50 or $100 per capita;
second, to make every dollar worth just
as much as any other. Third, no banks
of issue. As lo the transportation ques
tion, the rates should bo fixed on a fair
interest on the actual investment in
railroads, and not uion watered stock.
Consumers who are producers pay trans
portation loth ways, and it becomes
them to make the law on rates. Ho
favors an income tax. He stated that
railroad properly is assessed at one-sixth
its actual value while farm pnqierty was
one-third, and this should be remedied.
He said that common people would re
gain their rights through the medium
that they lost them, the ballot box, and
exhorted them to face their common
enemy in defense of their homes and
their country.
W. J. Edgerton, candidato for attorney-general,
was the last sfieaker. He

finance, the extravagances of legiela-
tures, the current campaign, demo
cratic and republican delusions, etc.
He made a statement that he had heard
an agent of a loaning company say that
his company had borrowed Swiss money
at A per cont and invested $5,000,000 of
it through an agent in this city at 8 per
cent, and commented upon this state of
facts. The big moneyed men are about
to swallow the smaller ones, and ho
urged the peoplo to make their protest
against the system by their ballots.
The meeting at night at tho opora
house was addressed by Messrs. Cham
lierlain, Wheat and Kem, tho two latter
virtually repeating the sentiments of the
afternoon.
