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.

THE FINANCIAL QCBSTION.
A Ranker View Upon the Present Situa
tion of Affairs.
Hon. L. 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

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.

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

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

teething troubles cures constipation and flatulency.

toria is the Children's I'anacea-the Mother's Friend.
Castoria.
"Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mother have repeatedly told mc of its
lood effect upon Uitir children."
Dr. G. C. Osgood,
Lowell, Masai.
' Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which 1 am acjuainted. 1 hope the day is not
far disnt when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of thevariousquack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agent down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves-"

" Our physicians in tho children's depart
ment have spoken highly of their experi
ence in their outside practice with Castoria.
and although we only have among our
medical supplies what is known an regular
products, yet wo are free to confess that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
