W. H. II. Scott, the postmaster at
Kose water, a little office twenty-five
miles northwest of Kcnkclman, hanged
himself to one of the rafters of his
house. A few days ago he sent his fam
ily to a camp meeting in progress at
Wauneta. Keing left alone it is sup
posed he began brooding over troubles,
cither real or imaginary and came to
the conclusion that he would bo better
dead than alive. He tied Hat-irons and
other weights to one end of a rope and
himself to the other enil then swung it
over -a rafter, leaving the weights to
strangle him to death.
The death of Henjamin Hershey,
founder and proprietor of the famed
llershej' ranch, near North I'end. is
reported from Chicago, lie having met a
violent death by being knocked down
and run over in the street. His death
is greatly regretted by all classes of
citizens, as lie had been a leading spirit
in developing the resources of western
Dodge county and had done more
toward perfecting a system of country
roads than any other agency. Every
road leading through his great farm
was thoroughly turnpiked, he main
tained one of the latest and best road
graders for that purpose.
A prominent farmer writes to the Lin
coln Journal: "It has become a stere
otyped phrase, 'don't hoard the curren
cy.' Now how is a man going to help
himself? To illustrate, 1 know a man !
against whose farm there is a mort- I
gage, due October 1. 1893. About Au
gust C he received notice that the monev
' would be due October 1 and that thev
wanted it when due, and ordered him
to make arrangements to pay the same.
He made answer that the money, oth
principal and interest, was ready and
waiting to be paid, and if they would
send release of mortgage and the other
papers to the bank in the town where
he lives they would get the monev for
their papers. They rather snappishly
declined to do it."
A Lincoln dispatch says: The pres
ence of Connty .Attorney 3Iurphy?in the
citato secure requisition papers for the
return of Barrett Scott, the embezzling
county treasurer of Hol$ county ,has
developed' that Scott's shortage, in
stead of $0.000, is fully 590,000. It is
, believed that only a small part of the
money was carried away by Scott
There seems .to have .arisen a serious
doubt about the ability of the Holt
county board to cause the return of
the defaulter. He is charged with em
bezzlement, but it is asserted that he
1 can be brought back from Mexico only
by courtesy of President Diaz. The
' necessary papers have been made out
I by the state officials and the Holt
county authorities will jriext proceed to
Washington and confer with gbvern-
ment officials.
Cloture Will Not be InToked.
Washington-, Sept. 9. The last ex
tremity of cloture is not to be invoked
by the American senate. The heavy
majority of members is m favor of the
unconditional' repeal of the purchasing
fclause bf the siicrman act, but this ma
jority has been carefully polled, and it
has declared that the conditions aro
not such as to watrant the radical de
parture from the titrte-honored trad
tlons of the senate that would be neces
sary to secure a cloture of debate and
force the repeal bill to the linal vote.
To one unfamiliar with tlie situation
the events of the last few days have
been uninteresting and unimportant.
Hut to one who linn observed the re
peatcd conferences in the lobbies Ot
the chambers, ahd is aware of the coh
fcrebces daily held between tiie presi
tleiit ahd leading senaiors, participated
hi almost i'nyariably by Secreiry bf the
Jlyeasujry, Ce,rli3lfc, tne events have been
lull of promise not of the passage of
the unconditional repeal bill, but of a
compromise measure.
The senators who have openly ex
pressed themselves in favor" of uncoti1
ditional repeal tttld they are nearly
Uirtte-lifths bf thj; .senate have beer
co'nsij.ted fts V6 lha advisability of the
cloture rule and the result has been
that less than thirty of the eighty-six
senators have expressed themselves in
favor of resorting , U such extreme
Ingasure. This strrt'iL'g cloture, thcre
E, wilt not be attempted.
With cloture finally abandoned, there
remained but two alternatives for the
rpppal SPiit'UlrR a compromise or a de
'ai at tlie hands of a filibustering mi
nority. That the minor- intend to
filibuster no one can doubt. Compro
mise, therefore, will be attempted. To
day this Las been about the only theme
of discussion among tile leaders of the
f-euate and a series ot conferences are
to be held from tinie to time Until tlie
end of next week, when it ts hoped a
clear majority y'lt be found wedded to
ji proposition which will also i;ac:fy the
minority.
I The proposition of compromise now
under discussion and meeting with the
greatest favor, provides that, coupled
with the bill repealing the purchasing
clause of
the Sherman actv therp. shall
be a law direeMtirr tlie secretary of the
I treasury to buy monthly a considerably
. reuucea amount ol siived bullion ami to
. actually com it into monev. The sec-
rctary of the treasury isalso to be given
, amljlp power to protect all money of
; tne i nuect states and make it inter
changeable. In addition to this na
tional banks of the United Htatcsare
to be permitted to issue circulation
notes up u the face vulile bf the
riiited States bonds they have on de
posit in the United States treasury,
concessions 1o state banks are also dis
cussed. . It Is certain that no sihD-le. item of
I i. m -
me above propositions, eah receive a
' h,:,Jrity vote of the senate. The fpur
' cnr.-.i. nml .i;;... ...i.; ...i.:..i. :.
' is proposed to include in the repeal bill
( as the various compromise amendments
t Hereto represent the four factions into
which the I nited States senate may be
jsiiu iu ue tuvKicu.ai mis time, xone
of there factions would get what it has
demanded, but each would get slight
concessions and would retire from the
conflict free with the laurels of a par
tial victory and free from the onus of
defeat.

The Ranriit Not Yet Captured.
Delta, Colo., Sept. 9. Two of the
posse who started vesterdav in nnrc.iit 1
, ., , ,.,.,
01 tne bandit who, with two compan
ions, held up tlie Farmers and Mer
chants bank, killing the cashier in do
ing so. returned here late yesterday
evening. They report having been
within half a mile of the fugitive, but
their horses were inferior to his and
they could not overtake him. Other
parties are in pursuit and although the
outlaw has taken to the mountains it
is thought that he will be captured.
His two companions, who were killed
while attempting to get away with the
bank's money, are still shrouded in
mystery as to their identity, but they
arc thought to have been in the west
for some time and to have robbed tlie
bank at Telluridc in 1SS8.

II. Moffatt of the First national bank
of Denver of some S-,'1,000 in broad day
light about four years ago. The gang
lias been partially dispersed. One ot
the McCarthys and Kas Lewis are now
having a trial for bank robberies in Or
egon. Kill and Tom are still at large
and seem to defy all attempts at cap
ture. A short time ago Mr. Farley received
word from an Oregon Sheriff, who has
been trailing tlie McCarthys for a long
time, informing him that a recent clew
had been obtained to the whereabouts
of the gang. The section mentioned
xx-as within a short distance of Helta.
That is what gives Mr. Farley a strong
conx-ietion as to their identity.
The names registered at the Central
hotel by the two bandits xvho were
killed are James and Clarence Kradley
and they appear to be brothers.

Mr. Cannon of Illinois mado the humorous

Mr Cannon, with a wave of his arms in the

not reduce salaries or expenditures. We
had the senate then, but It did not interfere

of his amendment. Mr. Feller said the ad
ministration was not proposing to discuss
the philosophy of finances; It came tocon-
fre.s" with a demand for a particular act,
he repeal of the Shermali law. It suggested
iio policy which will admit of the iisifalcom
promises in legislative proceedings. It is this
or nothing, and that so far concerned the
people he represented that they accepted
tho movement In thesplrit which it was giv
en. It proposed to give no quarter; his peo
ple proposed to give none, lie called atten
tion to the fact that a very large majority
of tlie farmers in the south were membersof
the farmers alliance and that one of the car
dinal doctrines of the farmersalllance Isthe
free and unlimited coinage of silver at tht
old ratio. The alliance all through thesouth
had. he said, catechised all candidates for

1 In tho house on the 4th It was the begin
ning of the hearings by tiie ways and means
1 committee of representatives of protected
Industries preparatory to framing a new
taritr bill. The only persons prosent were
1 representatives of the potato and onion
growers of the Bermuda island?, who asked
for a lcductiou of dutv on these articles on
I tiie ground that theyarealmo-t prohibitive,
that they do not compete with native pro
ducts, coming in before the latter, and be
causo licrmuda buys from the United
States much more than It sells.
In reply to a question from Mr. Geer, Mr.
Masters, one of the Itermuda reprepresenta
tlves said the removal of tlie duty would
, doubtless double their production and en-
1 able them to buy more of the United States.
Mr. Masters then yielded to his colleague,
Mr. Watson. The latter in reply to a ques
tion then took up the matter of who pays
the tarltT tax and explained in support of
his assertion that the Inhabitants of Iter
muda (the foreigners) paid the tax: that
this wa due to tlie extremely perislrable
nature of the products shipped to the United
States. After the tariff tax I paid in New
York the products go 011 to tho market and
bring what they can.
In answer to a question by Mr. Ilopklns.
Mr. Watson said that since tlie enactment of
theMcKlnley law Bermuda had paid 5 .V).
0GO tariff taxes to the United State. This
money has been taken from the resi
dents of those islands and placed In tlie
treasury of the United States.
Mr. Bryan When ynu export tothe United
States you say you pay the tariff. Now
when you import products from tlie United
States who pay.s the tax then?
Mr. Watson We pay that tax also.
Laughter.
Mr. Bryan You pay both ways? You are
in pretty hard luck. Laughter.l
Continuing, Mr. iat.son e.pamcd that in
the case of Imports, the articles were or
dered in the United States at tixed prices
and the duty of Bermuda was added on
their arrival here.
Chairman WiKon drew out the fact that
although Bermuda had paid since the pas
sage of the McKinley law $VrtJM per vear lu
tariff duties tothe United -tales, against
830.OX) previous to that time, the value uf
lands had not fallen in Bermuda. The land
1- held by old residents and little was tin th"
market. If there was a forced sale ire
thought the present situation would -show
Itself. Mr. Wat-on said that Bermuda was
enabled to settle the heavy balances of trade

Mr. Sherman voted against that bill was be
cause he knew It would pass and wanted to
conceal from the senate a knowledge of the
fact that it omitted thesilver dollar from
the list of coins, lie claimed to have shown
that tho lending member- of the two house
who were lirest'ijl cliirlng the consideration
of tlie bjll were ignorant of I he fact that tne
silver dollar wroniiid in tbeeimptlutIon
of tne mint laws.
The senate and the country, he said, ha.
to judge whether a fair opportunity bail
been afforded the members of the two
house- to know of tlie omi-sion of the silver
dollar from the list. No reference had been
made to the omi-siou of the silver dollar.
The important question wa-, however, had
the legislation been demanded or approved
by the American people? It certainly ba
llot been.

Win Id, which he said gave the law to tlie

Mr. I'ulit7cr for advising it as to exactly
what the people of the United Mates think.
He wa-e-pecially adapted to perform that
function by rea-on of tiie fact that he wa
born In Kurope and le-ided theie. Laugh

the New York ileiald tothe effect that Un
popular will 011 the stiver qtie-tioii had been
expressed In unmistakable terms and mu-t
be obeyed. "It Is true." said Mr. Stewart,
"that Mr. Bennett was born in tlii-cntintry,
but 1 think lie lias re-ided abroad for the
last quarter of a century. Why should he
assume." asked the -enator ""to I.e more
familiar with public sentiment titan those of
Us who have lived heie all of our lives."
Iteferring to President Cleveland. Mr.
Stewart said If was a sad thingforthe Amer

manuoou lie nati not neen surroumieii. as
Andrew Jack-on ban been, by the produc
ing classes, by the laboring men and the
farmer-, that he might -ympathize with
them. Mr. Cleveland was reared in thedirt;
his office was Mills building in New York,
tlie very center iu the United States of Eu
ropean influence. He sympathized with his
surroundings, and Ids surroundings were
unfortunate for tlie American people. Mr.
Cleveland's organs, said Mr. Mewart. con
stantly praised him for tlie use of federal
patronage to secure tlie destruction of all
legislation that pointed to-ilver. "1 do not
charge him with it," said Mr. Mewart, draw
ing himself to his full height and speaking
with much warmth, 'but if it Is not true lie
should exclaim: 'Oh, (Jod deliver me from
my friends."
Mr. tcwart said there were several other
branches of the subject which he would
treat hereafter laughter- but that he
would now close for the present.

Washington, Sept.- v In the senate
yesterday Mr. Cullom of Illinois took
the lloor and spoke in favor of repeal.
The following are signiiicant extracts:
"I am foi-ifcrnl because, in my opinion.

we arc now.
"The American people do not desire

though the act did not hax-e much p irt
in producing the lack of it."
Proceeding the speaker attributed
the present stringency to the attitude
of the party I11 power on the currency
and tariff, and closed with an appeal
for speech action.
Mr. Cok, democrat, of Texas, ob
tained the floor nt the conclusion of
Mr. Ctlllom's remarks. He said: "A
settlement of Hie money problem can
only be made by tile establishment of a
bimetallic currency as it existed prior
to 1.S7?. The people will never be con
tent until the -i---ong of IV.-?. by which
one-half of the motley of the country

trol the gold the I'nited rUmes would
have to have. The abandonment of
silver by the Tinted States would be its
death knell as money, except in sub
ordinate ways and for subsidiary coin
age, 'c have no hopes, he said, of an
international agreement. There is no
idea entertained anywhere that one is
possible. The I'nited States must de
pend upon itself if bimetallism is ex
pected." The United Stalce. he said, was the
only barrier between the people ami
spoliation. He referred to the steps
taken by tlie New York banks to se
cure the repeal of the Sherman law.
and was interrupted by Mr. Vance,
democrat, of North Carolina, xvho said
lie had this morning received a letter
from a very reputable business man tn
Salisbury. X. V . enclosing a letter
from a firm of bankers in New York
upon that very point, and he would like
to read it. Mr. Coke assented.
The letter was addressed to I. II.
Koust, Salisbury, in relation to a loan
which he desired on some mill property,
and in closing the bankers said: "The
senators from your country are not
looked upon as promotors of the gen
eral welfare. If their stand represents
the views of your people on linaucial
matters, it will be very diflicult for
you to secure any accommodation fiom
capitalists in this section until there is
a decided change."
The reading of the letter provoked
derisive laughter among tlie southern
senators. Mr. t'oke then concluded his
speech and the senate went into execu
tive session to consider the nominations
of certain officers whose confirmations
Mr. Uerry, democrat, of Ivans is. said
were essential to carry into eiicct tne i
