Is the report of agent Holme of the Santee Agency, north or us in this state, we notico tho following- "About June 2S tho government legan sinking an artesian well here, and while writing this article 1 received notice that a magnificent How of water had been utruck at a depth of about seven hun dred feet. Upon inspecting same I found a beautiful column of water six inches in diameter, rising into tho air to tho height of eight or ten feet, making this certain ly the finest well in tho state. The wa ter is suitable for drinking purposes and will bo a boon to tho agency. Lack of good water has always been a source of much annoyance here and tho much needed and now novcr fniling supply will bo greatly appreciated by all. I hope this flow will be sufficiently strong to ruu our grist-mill, and if it should prove so will materially lessen the ex pense, as tho price of coal is eo high as to render tho operation of tho mill ex pensive." Last week President Sidney Dillon of tho Union Pacific issued au official order setting forth that by consent and direc tion of tho executive coiumiiteo S. H. H. Clark is until further order appointed general managor in place of W. H. Hol eomb, resigned. All departments of tho company are subject to the appointment. Mr. Clark issued an order appointing Ilolcomb assistant general manager of the Union Pacific railway controlled and operated lines with headquarters at Omaha. It is understood that Mr. Clark will soon bo elected vice president. This action of the new management will be gratifying news to all interested in the welfare of this section of country, which never had a better friend among railroad officials than Mr. Clark. So far as he can havo his will in the active op eration of the Union Pacific, he will do what is right, with the public- and with the employes under him. The Free Trade Conspiracy. No patriotic voter can afford to ignore the significance of the harmony in action, the uniformity in argument, that charac terize tho efforts of tho British and American sections of free trade workers. The inspiring centre of their action is England, the literature of tho Cobden Club, when not distributed direct to voters, is carefully rehasned as editorials for tariff reform journals, and criticisms of our economic legislation by British statesmen are made to serve as texts for free trade orations wherever hearers can be found. It is not long since a prominent mouth piece of British opinion, in commenting upon tho efforts of its American allies, gave notice that the Cobden Club must not be expected to cease its labors uni . the markets of the United States were brought under the domination of British manufacturers and their recognized agencies in this country. Just how ad visedly this ultimatum was given out is inferable from foreign and domestic criticisms of our recently enacted tariff law. In face of the fact that this meas ure relegates to the free list 6undry arti cles upon which more than sixty million dollars of duty has hitherto been col lected, and practically accords frco raw materials for all exported products, at torneys for free foreign trade on both sides of the Atlantic are united in a chorus of denunciation of the law, and continue to demand that foreign com petitors be accorded free access to our markets, in fullimowledge of the fact that the burden upon citizens against whom these foreigners propose to com petemust be proportionately increased. The limit of presumption seems to have been reached when men and jour nals foremost in this crusade against .industries through which our country hoe attained its present enviable posi tion invoke the aid of those millions of workers who are the chief 6harers in a general prosperity, and who are certain to be the principal sufferers in the event of a reversal of our national policy of protection to home industries.

Gerrard, president of the Columbus State Bank, is recognized throughout the state as a clear-headed business man, who keeps thoroughly posted in all practical matters. His ad vice is sought after by hundreds of business men, and the public will be pleased to read the result of an inter view with him by a Journal reporter, ou Monday, in substance as follows: The people cannot remedy the evils of our monetary system in a day, but they can and will do it in time. They must make a trial of issuing their own money. We are in a different position from any other nation, and tho precedents of other nations.will not fit our case. The Argentine Republic is quoted just now as an awful example for the American people to avoid in settling their money problems. They are dependent upon other nations, ami they are compelled to havo money that will pass current in the other countries on wluch they aro de pendent. This id not the case with the United States. We used to have to do that, and Washington Irving gives an il lustration of its effects in the traffic with the Indians in the early days when the Dutch dealers with the aborigines took wampum in exchange for goods, lecause that was the money used among the Indians, but when the time came to replace their stock by purchasing in Holland, they couldn't exchange their wampum for goods. That is the way with the Argentine Republic. Not so with ih. Wo send to Europe more of our products than they send to us of theirs. The balance of trade is in our favor. Foreign countries do not control the markets for us. If we want to, we can use gold or silver or paper for a cir culating medium, without consulting other nations as to whether they will allow us to do so. If ue cannot regulate our own money system and adapt it to all our needs, we had letter drop back to some other form of government. The plan of loaning by the government di rect to the eople, on a solid landed security, may le somewhat of an experi ment, but it need not le attended with any disastrous results. We have tried a good many experiments and have suc ceeded measurably well in many of them. The very start of our government was considered a wild experiment by the countries of the old world,and they have been i.;dictiug our downfall at every tini since, but here we are, with a stronger purpose than ever to have a government "of the people, by the peo ple and for the eople" a complete suc cess, anml all sorts ot uirhcnilies. I be lieve that when we shall have settled three propositions on sound principles we will have a much more prosperous people; when it will not lie so easy a matter for so many men to be million aires, and so difficult for thousands upon thousands to be anything but poor and hard working all the days of their lives. Theso propositions are the cur rency, transportation and the regulation of tho liquor traffic. The proper method in this country to settle public matters is by disoussion, interchange of views, careful consideration. One feature of the farmers1 alliance that is very favor able is that it is made a school of politi cal economy for instructing its members in matters that concern them practically as voters, as citizens. I am in favor of similar organizations in cities and towns, for tho settlement of all economic ques tions. The main principle contend for in a financial system favorable to tho best interests of all the people is loans based on land security and virtually without interest. This principle, thoroughly applied in practice, with common-sense safe-guards, will prove an effeetivo remedy against all the mone tary ills of which wo now justly com plain. Tho more money, the easier to do business, and the harder it is for speculators in the circulating medium to corner it. Usury laws can no more prevent this than you can fix the price of corn by legislative enactment, but if the people (tho government) supply the money and regulate the volume of it ac cording to their actual needs, it will be nn impossibility for speculators to "corner" it, and tliis, the plan of govern ment loans on land security will ef fectually do, because it will put a stop to high rates for the use of money. It is not au essential feature of a cir culating medium that it should be made redeemable in gold or silver. On the day the United States resumed specie payment, not a man presented bills for payment. Let no class of our cir culating medium be discredited, let all be receivable in payment of all-dues to the government as well as to individuals. During the war one issue of paper was made receivable for all dnes to the gov ernment and another issue made an ex ception. Tho former of these, when gold was quoted at $2, rated 3 cents above gold, viz, 32.03 on the dollar, and the only reason the other paper was of less value was because of the discrimina tion against it. The proper function of money is as a medium of exchange merely, a measure of the values of com modities, as standard scales are of weigh and no man or combination shoulu be allowed to set up and main tain a system by which speculators could make money scarce, and thus, as a consequence, high priced. For a number of years now this has been the case, and money has so risen in value that to pay a debt requires considerable more of the products of labor than it did several years ago. If debts had been scaled down to correspond with the rise in the interest-rate of money, it would not be so bad, but they have not. The fact that the government stamp makes notes current as money and that the people have confidence in their own government is tho basis for the issue proposed. It is absurd to think that there is gold and silver coin enough in any bank, or 6tored away in government vaults, to redeem all paper money, if presented at once. The Bank of Eng land, whose notes circulate aa money the world over, had to borrow of the Bank of France a few weeks ago, to meet demands for coin. As to-the argu ment with reference to the Argentine Republic, they are a nation of only 3,000,000 people, with rich agricultural lands but undeveloped as yet, the gov ernment issued nobody knew how many notes, loans had been made on lands and on goods, and the government bad to borrow wherever it could, but their debts had to be made good in foreign countries. Vbis was tUe trouble. The proposed measure is not class legislation, neither was that, that es tablished national banks. One method furnishes money on bond security, the other on lands. It was regarded before the organization of the national banks, unconstitutional for the government to issue paper money, but the necessity was at hand, the government guaran teed the banks, and the banks issued the money. The supreme court afterwards decided that the government had the right to issue paper money, as a necessity in carrying on the war. A later decision fixed be yond question the right of the govern ment to issue paper money, and thus the machinery of tho national bank system is unnecessary to supply the people's money to the people. As to the security coming to the gov ernment, there is none better than agri cultural lands, the actual value of which is constantly rising. The system will prove self-regulating to a great degree, as there will be little speculative demand for such loans, and when the necessity is past and the opportunity comes to re move the lien, this will be done. It is unnatural that money should be used by ono .man to speculate upon the necessi ties of his neighbor, the proper use is investments in farm improvements, cat tle, horses, manufactures, productive in dustries, houses for rent and the like, and thus comes great good to the com munity, instead of great harm. Now, our system compels us to borrow money (a very great portion of it) in Europe, and the interest going there, we are helping to enrich .them at our expense. As to transportation, it has always been a mistake to allow corporations the control of our highways of commerce. If tho government, tho people, owned and operated the roads, the money paid for fare and freight would be used in the interests of the people. As to the habit of drinking intoxicat ing liquors as a beverage, it is a sort of disease that we have inherited, and though it has been somewhat modified by moral suasion and regulation of different sorts here and there, we must, if wo would perfect our system of laws, find a way to remove the traffic from the influence of local sentiment. With these three problems solved by common-sense, practical methods, we can have a government by the people and for the people, such as the world has never yet known. THE XKXT LEKISLATIKE. SnggetitionH to oar Nebraska Statesmen. Com piled front onr State Exchanges. When the petitions now being circu lated throughout the state asking the legislature to submit a constitutional amendment providing that saloon li cense money shall go into the general school fund instead of tho school funds of the cities and towns in which the sa loons are located, one presented there is likely to be a vigorous protest, but as there are very few members of the legislature who hail from cities and towns the proposition to submit will most likely carry by a large majority. In anticipation of this probable result another petition should be circulated asking that when the change in the constitution is made tho rural distrists be given the privilege of assisting in maintaining the police force for cities and towns, paying the police judges, feeding the prisoners and build ing municipal jails. The bulk of these oxpenses aro entailed upon tho cities and towns by reason of the saloons be ing in them and if the rural school funds are to have the benefits in one case they should in another. Another way to effect a general distribution of the li cense money would bo for the country precincts to start saloons of their own. Most cities would be willing to get along with less license money provided tho sa loon went, too. Fremont Tribune. When a loan is talked of on a piece of land, says the Broken Bow Beacon, two persons appraise it. Upon this appraise ment the holder of the land receives as a one third of the appraised value When the land is sold it is appraised again and if it does not bring two-thirds the amount of the appraised value it is not sold. But if when sold it does not satis fy the mortgage, the law allows a de ficiency judgment to be entered against the owner. It frequently happens that land when sold does not bring enough to satisfy the mortgage and the owner is bled to supply the deficiency. In some cases the company takes the judgment and sometimes is satisfied with the land without the judgment, but wo see in this law what is so easily seen in so many laws now on the statute books plain and palpable discrimination against the unfortunate fellow, who, by force of circumstances or otherwise, is compelled to give up his land for which he has sacrificed so much time, money and comfort. The people's legislature, which convenes in January, should change this law so that there could be no discrimination in favor of the mort gagor or mortgagee. If the first apprais ment is sufficient to justify a loan, no appraisement should be made when the land is sold to satisfy the mortgage, but the company should be held to the first valuation. One' of the wrongs today, says the Schuyler Quill, is the insurance law which allows a company to cancel a man's policy at will. They carry an in surance at a high rate until some risk is incurred, then the cancellation act comes in play. Such was the case with our hay men. Our alliance legislature should better this, although those hay men are not by any means in favor of the alliance legislature. FrecaatieM Against Tyekoia Fever. The following extracts taken from a report issued by the state board of health of Pennsylvania ou typhoid fever will be very valuable to many readers of this paper inasmuch as this fever is very prevalent at the present time: Typhoid fever (called also enteric fe ver, gastric fever, drain fever, low fever, pytbogenic fever and, by the Germans, abdominal typhus) is a common and protracted disease, terminating fatally in about one case in eight or ten. BOW TBS PISXASX ZS SPJUUD OB OOVXTJ lOCAZSO. Typhoid fever is believed to be caused by a special poison (contagium.) This poison, whether specific or not. may be conveyed to other persons by drinking water contaminated by discharges from the bowels of a person affected with the dinnsnf, or by teachings from the bodies of those who have died ot it Physi cians now believe that' contaminated water is the most frequent cause of this disease. The contamination must be with the fwcal discharges ot a person suffering with this disease, or from a graveyard in which persons dead of this disease have been buried. The disease has also been traced to contaminated milk, which has had infected water added to it, or has been kept in vessels whioh have been washed with impure water, or in a room adjoining one in which thero has been a case of typhoid fever. In some few cases, it seems that the disease has been produced by breath ing the emanations from putrid privies and from sewers. It prevails most in times of drought, in the fall of the year, especially after a period of high temper ature, and when the water in wells and springs is low and tho contaminations much concentrated. It is a disease con stantly present in the fall ot the year, in country districts which have been subject to the aliove conditions. Expe rience proves that, with ordinary care, those in attendance upon the sick do not contract the disease directly from the patient. The poison in the tfecal matter getting upon the nurse's hands may, in this way, be conveyed into the system, but not through the air breathed. Filth and bad sanitary conditions of dwellings probably increase the danger of spread ing this fever which has lieen classed as a "filth disease." Queen Emma is taking hold with en-ergy-of her duties as regent of Holland. She has called for a full history of the Atcheon war, its causes and progress, and it is understood that she contem plates bringing to a close that fruitless struggle, which has lasted since 1S73, and cost Holland over 60,000 lives and 30,000. The question of the exaction of import, duties by the Congo Free State is also likely to be brought to a prompt conclusion. The will of the late king leaves the greater part of his private fortune to Queen Emma. X EBRA.SK A XOTKS. The citizens of Valley have organized a joint stock company to build a town hall at a cost of 91,800. Carl Kounia, a Saunders county wife beater, has been fined $10 and costs for indulging in his favorite amusement. A young son of Harry Johnson, resid ing near Beaver City, has just died as the result of falling into a vat of lioiling liquid some weeks ago. Dr. S. F. Dean of Carleton took too strong a dose of his own medicine, but he realized his mistake in time and rem edied it by taking an emetic, which saved his life. The farmers residing near Ashland have organized a stock company to start a lumber yard at that place with a capi tal stock of $40,000. If they cannot buy the yard already there they say they will start one in opposition. While S. R. Smith of Indianola was digging a well on the hill at his homo the workmen struck an ochre bed at the depth of ninety-five feet below the sur face. He found no water, but thinks he found a fortune and will have the ochre analyzed. Waskington Letter. From oar regular correspondent. The president is devoting a consider able portion of his time to a comprehen sive consideration of our present finan cial system, which he, in common with many other profound thinkers, believes the country has outgrown. That some thing is needed he has long ago been convinced, but just what that something is and the best way to obtain it is what has not been decided. It ma because no decision had been arrived at that neither the president's message nor Sec retary Windom's annual report contain ed any specific recommendation on this subject. Whether the president will later send a special financial message to congress or will, with the aid of a sena tor or a representative, embody the re sult of his thinking in a bill to be sim ultaneously introduced in the house and senate is as yet problematical. But something must be doue soon, for the clamor for more money lieoomes louder and louder every day, and the lielievers in a free and unlimited coinage of silver, who constitute a majority in congress, are growing more and more restless. The adoption of a resolution condemn ing the federal election bill by the farmers' alliance convention, at Ocala, might have disconcerted the republicans somewhat if it had not been followed by the positive information that the whole businees was put up in this city at a conference of southern democratic sena tors. As it was, it attracted no more at tention than would the same resolution passed by any other democratic conven tion. Congress has lost no time to speak of in its first week. The house has passed the international copyright bill, the reg ular annual pension appropriation bill, and several others of minor important while the senate is working away at t federal election bill in a way which indi cates that 1891 will still be very young when that measure, slightly modified, shall have become a law of the land. Senator Stanford has introduced his bill to loan government money to farm ers at low rates of interests upon mort gages upon their real estate. He asked that the bill be allowed to lie upon the table until he 6hall have submitted a few remarks upon it. The senate finance committee made an unfortunate report upon this bill at the last session, but Mr. Stanford insists that the more thought he devotes to the subject the more he becomes convinced that it is a sound, constitutional and practical method ot supplying the national need for a sound circulating medium. No change has yet been made in the senate rules to limit debate upon the federal election bill, end none will be made until the democrats begin to re sort to fillibustering. The republicans have no desire to prevent their opponents exercising every legitimate right in dis cussing this measure, but they propose to allow no extended fillibustering. There is an interesting rumor floating around the capitol to the effect that the democratic senators had decided not to flllibuster against a final vote. This may be taken with a grain of allowance, in f aot several ot them. Secretary Noble has been looking pretty closely into the business of the pension office ot late, and one of the re sults is that a bill prepared at bis re quest baa been introduced in the house by Representative Belknap, ot Michigan, reducing the fee of pension attorai.es tor SOMETHING OF VERY GREAT Farmers cry hard times, saying hogs are cheap, no corn to feed;: limited amount of wheat to eat, not much to sell, and provisions scarce.

BOROWIAK BROS. obtaining increases of pensions from $10 to Si. This has raised a howl among the pension attornies, whose fees for the month of November for increased pen sion cases alone amounted to 830,000. Secretary Noble says there is no need of an applicant for an increase in pension to employ an attorney and that it is little short of robbary for an attorney to extract a fee of S10 for the nominal sorvioe performed in such cases. Mr. Noble is understood to be considering f other changes in the methods of doing ! business with the pension office that ! will bo beneficial to the country and to the deserving pensioners. The country has long ago become con vinced that Mr. Blaine is one of the ablest, if not the ablest secretary of state that we have ever had, and the correspondence in the Barrundia affair, which resulted in the recall of Minister Mizner, just submitted to congress, adds another proof to the strong ones already existing of Mr. Blaine's aptitude in dealing with complicated international questions.
