GiTana facta. , WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 16, 1893. "To look upon her face" says Walworth of his mother, "was to feel heaven near. It was within her." Bekxett Goldsmith, mayor of West Point and member of the legislature, died of acute cholera morbus, at his room in a Lincoln hotel, Aug. 9, being found dead in the morning. How diffebext the condition of the United States would be today if it were the pledges of the Minneapolis instead of the Chicago platform that were to be carried into effect! N. Y. Press. Give us tho two metals as the basis of our coins, on a perfect equality, not only as to coinage, but in every other particular no discrimination against either one; no special favoring of either. In South Dakota, at Marion Junction, "about thirty of the leading citizens" took Mrs. Van Ruxaline to tho outskirts of the town, stripped her of all her clothing, after which a preparation of varnish, tar and vinegar was poured over her and a coat of feathers put on top of that. She was "suspected" of keeping a house of ill repute. Earthquakes were felt in several dis tricts in North Styria on the morning of the 8th. Several buildings were dam aged. No loss of life has been reported. On Saturday there was a cloudburst in the vicinity of Gratz, the capital of Styria. A largo number of people were drowned. Many head of live stock were carried away in the floods and much property was destroyed. The Linden Steel company, one of the largest manufacturing concerns in Pittsburg, suspended operations August 8. on account of the stringency of the times, difficulty in procuring discounts and inability to make collections. All the employes, about 800, were discharg ed. The company had a number of con tracts from the government for armor plate. It is said that the company has assets largely in excess of liabilities and there is no doubt that they will resume as soon as an extension is obtained. The Washington Post generally speaks to the point, and in the follow ing pursues its usual cus'tom: "Through out the term of Harrison's administra tion the people were loudly, constantly and importunately assured, notably by Mr. Cleveland himself, that the country was drifting to ruin through the opera tion of the tariff as adjusted by Mr. McKinley and adopted by the republi can party. No one told us then that the silver policy of the government was paralyzing industry, destroying values, asphyxiating commerce and upsotting financial conditions to their injury and ruin." A Suggestion to Somebody. The following paragraphs from the Bee correspondence contain a hint that will doubtless bo of benefit to some of our readers: "The drifting sand makes railroading through this section quite expensive. All along the line are sand sheds placed at such an angle to tho track as to turn the blowing sand from the road-bed. But Oregon winds are rather capricious and do not always blow from the same direction, so the section hands are kept busy turning the sand sheds whenever the wind changes. 'You wouldn't believe it,' said Mr. W. H. Hurbut, the general passenger agent of the Union Pacific at Portland, who happened to be on the train, 'but that sand mixed with a little water will raise the finest kind of fruit, and some day you will see these sand hills all in cul tivation. A few 3 ears ago we were having a good deal of trouble with the sand a little above The Dalles, when a man came to us and made a proposition to remedy it. We were to carry three carloads of manure out to those sand drifts for him and if he didn't stop tho sand from covering the tracks he was to pay us $50 a carload for the manure. Every one thought he was crazy, but we haven't called on him for the $150 yet and, what is more, that man is taking $600 worth of fruit off of every acre of those sand drifts." The west, to use a homely phrase, is "up and acoming." It really has re sources untold. California alone has given to the world her hundreds of millions of dollars in gold to say noth ing of her other products of more value still to mankind. All the western states are rich in varied products of the soil and mines, and it becomes them now more than ever to develope these re sources. Let us make ueg of what we have to its full extent. Let us help every man to help himself, and build up our own communities. Wherever it is possible to get anything at home, let us not send abroad. There is competition enough among home dealers to give us what we want at a fair price and thus keep the money going at home. By building up our own factories we are adding to our own business, and thus rnnfcing our section of the country self supporting. This is the main consider ation. If you don't owe anybody any- , thing, hard times or sudden revulsions of trade don't affect you to the extreme. It is because the west has heretofore been more or less dependent on the east that she has had to sneeze when they, back there, take snuff. Let us be just without the east, give them their due, but when they step beyond the border of right, and attempt to dictate the finninl policy of the government to the undue. advantage of the creditor class and to the great detriment of the debtor , they should be called to halt. To Tke Vetera or 'Celrabas City sad Township. In a few days you will be called upon to decide by your votes whether the city and township shall aid the Columbus Canal and Power Company, in the con struction of a canal. We think it but justice to all to again openly explain, 6o far as possible, our intentions, plans and modus operandi. The construction of a canal as out lined in our proposition, furnishing and transmitting 3000 horse-power, should not be attempted and would not be a safe investment with a capital less than Si50,000; therefore, in justice to all men of moderate means taking stock in this undertaking, and to the end that they may feel assured that their earnings have not been invested in an enterprise, which, when two-thirds completed will be compelled to succumb for want of funds, thereby becoming the prey of heavy capitalists who could step in, and for a nominal sum buy up the stock, complete the canal and reap the bene fits, as has been the case in like com panies, we therefore insist that the for mation of a company with less capital is unwise, and injudicious. To raise this amount, we deem it but just and right that the public at large, who beyond all questions will be ma terially benefitted by the establishment nt mi Mi n water nower in their midst. should contribute to its cost, we are therefore asking the aid of the city and township in the sum of 21,000. We will then ask a bonus from the wealthy real estate owners, either in money or lands, in the sum of $29,000. On the securing of this amount to aid in the canal enterprise, we then propose to open our stock book to the people of Platte county; stock to be in shares of $100 each. On the signing of $100,000 in stock, the stockholders will then meet and perfect a permanent organization, each stockholder sharing alike in the bonuB raised in proportion to the amount of stock held by each, the in corporators to have no more interest in the bonus than other stockholders. In short, our intention is to set on foot an enterprise that will make Columbus a manufacturing and commercial centre second to none in the State of Nebraska; an enterprise that will increase our pop ulation and our valuation, thereby en hancing the value of all realty within a radius of twenty miles of the plant; an enterprise that will furnish to our farmers a home market and to our workingmen steady employment. We hope and expect to accomplish this re sult with tho co-operation and assistance of our home people, thus making it strictly a Platte county enterprise. To those who are not familiar with the subject of the transmission of elec tric power, we desire to say, that any factory located within a radius of say three miles of the power-house, will be furnished power equally as well as fac tories located at or near the power house, to illustrate, the Columbus Brewery will receive their power at the same rate and on the same terms as the Columbus Creamery. As regards the so-called bluff, we will say, that after careful investigation, we are satisfied that the cost of a bluff canal will be double that of a valley canal, and to those who are advocating the bluff route, we will ask them to take into consideration the cost of a large reservoir; the digging of a tail race over five miles in length; the constructing and maintaining of bridges over a canal and tail race, aggregating seventeen miles in length; the cost of expensive right-of-way and together with the loss in transmitting tho power three times the distance. Remember the stock holders in the canal company must rely on the earnings of the canal, in other words, the rental of the power to factor ies, for a reasonable return of their money invested; and in order to attract factories the canal company must be in shape to offer cheap power, and to be able to offer cheaper power than other places, the cost of our canal miiBt be less. Ab to the benefit of a bluff canal for purposes of irrigation in addition to power, we will say, that none of the sur veys yet made provide for the extension of the canal east of the Ernst road and as a consequence but few farmers could avail themselves of the use of water. In view of the above facts, taking into consideration the increased cost of the bluff route, and feeling satisfied that the valley canal will furnish us ample power, we do not deem it advisablo to undertake the construction of a bluff canal. Voters do you want the canal? Do you want factories established in your midst? Do you want your real estate increased in value and Columbus a city of 25.000 inhabitants? If so, vote for the bonds. Remember, the bonds are not even issued till the canal and power house is complete and the -3,000 horse power developed. If the bonds are not voted the bonus will not be raised, and so far as this company is concerned, the enterprise will be abandoned. The stockholder who puts his money into the canal must not only wait for interest on his investment until the canal is completed, but until factories are located and built in sufficient num bers to actually use the powor pro duced, while the real estate owner, and the laborers will be benefited from the very beginning of actual work on the canal. With the bonus asked for we can re commend canal shares as a reasonable investment. Without it, it would not pay the investors. Respectfully submitted, COLUMBUS CANAL & POWER CO., By David Schdpbach, President. Attest: W. A. McAuiKteb, Secretary. Washington iietter. From our regular correspondent. Well, the extra session of the first con gress democratic in both branches for more than thirty years is in session. There are empty chairs in both house and senate, but the attendance is as large as was expected on the first day, under the circumstances. The reorgan ization of the senate was accomplished in March and that of the house, with the exception of the minor officials, was decided by Mr. Cleveland many months ago, so that there was really no induce ment to cause a large attendance for the first few days of the session. Never did a congress come together in which the majority in both branches was so divided. There is not one single ' important question to come before con gress upon which the democrats are united. They are apparently hopelessly divided on the financial question, al though the strong personality of the president, backed by the patronage at his disposal, may be sufficient to get some legislation through if the adminis tration managers are shrewd enough to havo a financial bill framed that will meet the views of the republican sena tors and representatives overtures have been made to the republicans, but they will make no pledges in advance, wisely reserving the right to cast their votes for the measure which in their judgment may be best for the country, without regard to its political effect. The division upon the tariff among the democrats is not so sharply defined aB that upon finance, although it may become so later on. There are three tariff wings to the democracy in con gns3 one in favor of postponing the whole tariff business until the regular session, without stating exactly what they favor doing when it is taken up; another favoring the immediate framing and passing of a free trade bill or, as they are pleased to call it, "a tariff bill for revenue only," and the third wing wants to frame a bill that will retain a limited amount of protection, something about midway between the old Mills bill and the McKinley law. The repub licans have not changed their position on this question, late events and those occurring every day in the industrial world having convinced the few among them who had doubts that an absolutely protective tariff is necessary to the con tinued prosperity of this country. Con sequently they will resist all attempts to change the present law, although they may if an opportunity shall occur to thereby defeat the free trade wing which is the largest of the democracy vote with the moderate protection dem ocrats. Other matters upon which divisions exist among the democrats are, the pro posed repeal of the ten per cent tax on state bank currency with its consequent flood of wild cat, home-made money; the proposed income tax, and the present pension policy of the administration. The republicans are particularly for tunate in having a number of the ablest parliamentarians and hardest all-round legislative fighters in the party in the present house. For instance, no twelve democrats in the house would be able to cope with the republican big four, as Reed, of Maine; Burrows, of Michigan; Henderson, of Iowa, and Cannon, of Illinois, are already called, in a running debate, and there are a number of other hard hitters in the house minority, who have proven their ability in many hard fought legislative battles to stand up for what they believe to be right. These men will present a solid front at all times to tLo divided democracy, know ing that it is upon them that the great commercial and industrial interests of the country rely to keep the legislation of the democratic majority within rea sonable bounds. Senator Gorman is the latest promi nent democrat to join Representative Holman in protesting against the pen sion policy of tho administration, and declaring that if persisted in it will wreck the democratic party. Prom the taiK oi republican senators ana repre sentatives there will be some lively times in congress about this pension business. The republicans are ready to join the democrats in ridding the pension roll of any name that is there fraudulently or illegally, but they will demand that fraud shall be proven before a pensioner is dropped or, that the country shall know the reason for the wholesale sus pensionshundreds every day that are now being made. If the democratic ad ministration can give good and sufficient reasons for its action, well and good, if not, so much the worse for the adminis tration and for the democratic party. Mr. Cleveland recently took- a lesson in finance from the man who nominated him last year Hon. W. C. Whitney and the result may be an issue of bonds if congress proves to be Blow in repeal ing the Sherman law. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. RATE INTEREST INVESTMENTS, Risk, Expends.

J. A. Vanden BuRoTfipecial 'Ag't, 1 Meridian Hotel, Columbus, Nebr. District 44 and Vicinity. Thomas Boyd and the Misses Cora Scott and Lillie Bushell of your city drove out here Sunday. Bert Hoage of Silver Creek and Mr. Finch of Iowa, a friend of the former, called on Sam. and Geo. Drinnin Friday. Mrs. Consay of Seward, Neb., and first cousin of Mrs. O. McGann, arrived here Friday evening, in response to a tele gram announcing the death of the latter. Since Fred. Blaser has built an ad dition to his house and painted the whole a beautiful white, it has the moat cozy appearance of any home on the side hill. Mis. Q. Engel and her daughter, Mia, U1IUJI Fro Luckey, returned from their visit last Friday. They spent two weeks at the old home in Illinois, and two days at the World's fair." Hay is quite an item in the home market just now, and good prices are asked for that article, but every fork full is being saved and put up in good Ehape for keeping. There will be less hay wasted this fall and winter than in any previous autumn. Patsy Hogan of Upper Shell Creek, met with quite an accident on Tuesday of last week. He was engaged in run ning a threshing machine, and when in the act of oiling the cylinder, the sleeve of his shirt caught in the cogs and the left hand was drawn into the gear, tak ing the flesh from one side of the hand and wrist clear to the bone; fortunately no bones were broken. Died, at the farm residence, four miles northeast of the city at 12 o'clock noon, Friday August 11, Mrs. Owen McGann. Deceased was born in Bureau county, Illinois, September 8, 1854, coming here with her husband and family in April, 1890. The husband and eight children are left to mourn her loss. A member of the Roman Catholic church and died in full faith of the great redeemer. It is only about ten months since her second oldest daughter preceded her to the better land. The family has the sym pathy of this entire community. Sam. Drinnin, Otis Clark and John Pittman three young lads from here, started in a covered 'wagon on the over land route Monday for recreation and sight-seeing in the great west. They were well supplied with a sporting out fit, and on the eve of their departure re ceived the benedictions of Pater, in which they were seriously admonished to never for a moment, lend a thought to wrong-doing. The boys were at a loss to find a dorg, but as they started off with a trunk of fresh meat, we presume they have one ere this; they will prob ably camp Monday night at Silver Creek, near J. A. Hoags chicken coop. We expect to hear from them at inter vals, as they journey along, and if we get anything of interest to your readers yon shall have the same. R. City Fund. Ed. Journal: The fact that work men on our streets are paid in warrants on the general fund levy of nM, when the tax-list has not yet been put into the hands of the collector, and these men cannot receive a cent from the city treasury (because there is none there in tho fund on which their warrants aro drawn), causes me to think that there is a better way. Is there not a statute or ordinance making the occupation tax collections a part of the general fund? If so, why not treat it that way, and draw upon it until collections begin to come in on the '9-3 levy? It amounts to about $4,800 a year; the sprinkling $1, 000, lighting S1.400, police $1,380, amounting to $3,780, leaves $1,020 be sides to apply, sufficient, one would thing, to pay the current expenses of the city. If anybody is compelled to stand a shave on city warrants it ought to be somebody else than tho workmen, and it seems to me that by the method sug gested all warrants could be cashed at o.nce. A. H. Whether there is anything in the sug gestion or not, The Journal is pleased to see that citizen tax-payers are taking an interest in affairs. En. Y. M. C. A. Notes.

Tharday'a Ball Game. "The man at home is out." "Oh rats," "come off," "where did you get it," these were the exclamations after the decision of the umpire, and what started the fun, and stopped the game at the end of the seventh inning. It seems there had been several kicks made on some of the "umpire's" decisions before this time and when this rank decision was" given, it was too much for the home team to stand. A general tongue-lashing was indulged in for a few minutes after which the Indians refused to finish the last two innings, whereupon the umpire gave the game to Clarks by a score of 9 to 0. We very much regret this affair as the game at this time was getting quite exciting, the score standing 8 to 9 in favor of the Indians, and hope that sometime in the near future these same clubs will get together and finish this well begun but poorly finished game.
