Just defeat the Wilson bill, and then see if business will not revive. GeoroeW. Childs, the great Phila delphia editor, is a very sick man. Congressman Wilson of West Vir ginia and Henderson of Iowa are both verv sick men. Two or three large machines for cloth manufacture are to be put into the woolen mill at Fremont. And now Hastings will submit to the people a proposition to vote bonds for an irrigating and power canal. It is estimated that about 8160,000 have been spent at Shelton this season by those who are fattening there some 85,000 head of sheep. The Duluth Press, of which Colonel W. F. Cody has recently become owner, gives a reception in its new building, 1915 West Superior street, on Tuesday evening. The exact amount of Dodge county's share of the burden of the state's taxa tion as turned over by her treasnrer last week was S7.535.99. Secretary Morton is said to have evidenced strong aspirations for a higher position than that ho now holds in .President Cleveland s cabinet, viz: Secretary of the Interior. There was a class of democrats who were continually berating republicans for keeping a surplus in the U. S. treas ury. It is noticeable that a surplus is much more convenient to have around than a deficit. While Great Britain is striving to de vise some means to cover a deficiency in its revenues, the Wilson bill as it now stands deliberately proposes to create a deficiency, and trust to luck to make it good. N. Y. Press. Quite a severe shock of earthquake was felt in Hastings last Thursday. There was a very perceptible vibration and a sound similar to that made by a bird flying against a telephone wire. In some buildings glass and crockery rat tled considerably. Republicans of the Iowa legislature have elected Hon. John H. Gear U. S. senator to succeed Hon. James F. Wil son, who did not seek re-election. Gear's piaiiorm is oner: Jvery citizen one vote, fairly counted; protection to American labor. Rev. De Witt Talmage announced in his church, the Brooklyn Taber nacle, Sunday evening that this spring on his twenty-fifth anniversary as pastor, he would resign. He says his plans for the future are not wholly developed, but he will continue to preach, both by voice and newspaper press, as long as life and health continue. J. G. Huber of Louisville, Nebraska, has a gang of men at work on his farm digging for what they think is gold. In dications have shown something unusual for many years and after studying min ing in Colorado ho has been more en couraged. All Cass county are begin ning to take the fever in old-time style. Property is not for sale at present. Secretary Carlisle haB advertised for bids for S30,000,000 in bonds of the United States. They are to be in de nominations of $50 and upward, bearing 5 per cent interest, payable quarterly in coin, and redeemable in coin at the pleas ure of the government after ten years. No proposal will be considered unless it will make the loan to the government equivalent to 3 per cent. Credible witnesses declare that Mount Jefferson belched forth black clouds of smoke and steam at sunrise last Wednes day morning, and that the eruption con tinued for .thirty minutes. The truth is that all along the western part of the continent, the crust of the earth is thin; in many places there are extinct volca noes, and it is not surprising that the inside fires occasionally break through. Dun's Review for January 20 says that while industrial improvement continues,' the gain is slow, and increase in the pur-; chasing power of the people by enlarge-!; ment of the force at work is in a measure counterbalanced by the loss in purchas ing power of the -people through reduc tion in wages paid. Idle money is con stantly accumulating in New York, and trust companies are offering G months loans at 3 per cent yearly, while 1 per cent is the prevailing rate on call. Fail ures for the week have been 407 as against 290 last year. When a man accepts office at the hands of his fellow-citizens, he should not forget that his time, his talent, his energies in the conduct of the office are not his own, and that if he has a spark of manhood within, he will be true to the ' trust confided in- him by the people. It is said that County Treasurer Eickoff of Cass county is liable to indictment be cause of his action with reference to the county funds. He testified that he had advised the different banks to combine and make a low bid for the county funds. It is said that this was done to enable the county treasurer to borrow the fund's from the bank for a lees rate than he now pays, it being alleged that at pres ent he pays the county depository 4 per cent for the UBe of a portion of the fends. Baildiag AaMciatioa Interest. . A special from Plattsmouth will doubt less be of interest to those of the mem berships of the local companies through out the state who are watching every thing that bears upon the prosperity of these associations: District Judge Chapman has handed down an opinion in the foreclosure suit of the Livingstone Loan and Building association of this city againBt W. W. Drummond, which if sustained by the state supreme court may prove rather damaging to the many Nebraska loan and building associations who loan money on the plan of letting it out to the highest bidder. In the suit in question the local asso ciations sought to foreclose on the de fendant's residence property in this city to enforce the payment of a mortgage given to secure a loan of 82,000. The evidence disclosed that the defendant secured only 81,640 from the association, the remaining 8360 going to the associa tion as a premium secured through the system of bidding for the money. This the court held was usurious and the amount found to be due the associa tion was 81,640, with interest. Of this sum the defendant had paid 8847.73 as interest, fines, penalties and assessments, leaving a balance of 8792.27. This latter sum the court held was still due the association, with interest from date of the last payment made by the defend ant until the first day of the present term of district court. The association haB given notice that the case will be appealed to the supreme court. News from Plattsmouth is to the effect that there is considerable differ ence between the county treasurer of Cass county and the cashier of the Greenwood bank, Mr. Meeker, with ref erence to the use of county funds. Meeker says that he filed a sealed bid with the treasurer, but that he was given until the next day, Jan. 9, to file another bid, and complains that the treasurer took snap judgment and ojened the bids and let the contract to the Louisville bank before the Greenwood bank had the opportunity of filing a second bid. The county treasurer insists that he had no arrangement with the banker in re gard to a second bid. The Bee's corres pondent says: "One fact, however, was brought to light which made the proceed ings of considerable interest. Meeker related that two years ago when his bank was made tho county depository it was exacted from him by the county treas urer that the latter should havo a loan of a certain share of the countv funds at the same interest rate, 4J per cent, which the bank was to pay the county. Mr. Meeker stated that in accordance with that agreement the treasurer in the two years past had borrowed several thousand dollars and that at the present time there was still due the bank from that source some 84,000. Mr. Eickhoff admitted making the loans, but denied that the agreement was made a part of the transaction of the letting of the funds. He stated that the loans were made as a simple business transaction and that they bore no relation to the county funds contract." A suit brought in Cass county will be interesting to our supervisors. The Greenwood bank had the uso of Cass county's money at 4J per cent, but when the first quarter's interest became due the bank refused to credit the county for the interest on the state, school and road district funds, claiming that these funds were not a part of the current funds of the county. The bank's refu sal resulted in tho suit. Judge Chap man's charge was that the treasurer had the power to deposit and the de fendant bank the right to receive all public money coming into the treasur er's hands from the collection of the public revenues of the county, which funds and public money under tho statutes are designated and known as the current funds of the county, and that the defendant bank by receiving the same under its proposition becomes lia ble to the plaintiff treasurer for the pay ment of 4J per cent interest as allowed in the plaintiff's petition upon all of the funds or public money received by the defendant bank from the county treas urer. The verdict of the jury was in consonance with these instructions, and the bank took an appeal to the supreme court. Mob law prevailed all day Sunday at Bridgeport, Conn., the police were set at defiance, and a crowd of angry men ruled the town. The rioting was one of the results of tho discharge of five employes of the Bridgeport Traction Company Saturday and the strike which followed. About '100 employes of the company stopped work Saturday, tying up the road. Sunday morning the trouble be gan brewing when fifty men arrived from Jersey City to take the place of the strikers. Some of the cars were moved out of the shed, but were able to proceed but a short distance: thev were sur rounded and the crews compelled to vacate. A crowd of about 10,000 gathered and encouraged the. strikers. In the evening a meeting was held, after which it was announced that the company had agreed to re-employ the strikers with the exception of nine men. Dalzell of Pennsylvania in tho house the other day struck the right gait on going after the Wilson bill, when he de clared that it would bring aggravation instead of relief. It would strip the manufacturer of his ability to compete in any market and be just to his em ployes. To the farmer it offered a for eign market in which his increased snr plns could not but degrade prices. To the laborer clamoring for work at Amer ican wages, its brutal answer was lower wages or war with his employer. He denounced the proposal to make up the drain on an already depleted treasury by an issue of bonds as a scheme that even if justifiable amid the roar of cannon and the clash of arms was, in time of peace, a mere monstrosity. He predicted that the bill would be pronounced by posterity the most infamous legislative crime in our history. If anything were lacking to prove the folly, the criminality even of Cleveland's policy in the Hawaiian question the budget of correspondence published sup plies it. Never has an executive of the United States been forced to supply such complete material for his own over throw. Out of the mouth of his own minister be is condemned. He is hoist by his own petard. Chicago Times, (Dem.) Washington .Letter. From onr regular correspondent. Secretary Carlisle has one good trait; he knows where to look for good advice when he is in a hole. He is in a hole now, and it is a deep and dark one. Having called in vain upon bis party associates in congress for legislation that would provide the money to meet the deficit made by the announcement of 'the Cleveland tariff program, he has now called upon Senator Sherman for advice and aid. Senator Sherman told the democratic senators at the time they de clined his suggestion that the silver repeal bill should be amended so as to authorize, an issue of bonds that the administration would in the end have to issue bonds. Well, the end is in sight and the administration is going to issue bonds, with or without the consent of congress. If congress will authorize an issue of bonds they can be made to run a short period and to carry only three per cent interest; if congress will not authorize the bond issue, they are to be issued under the law of 1875 and will consequently carry 4 or 4J per cent in terest and will run a long time. The bonds have been printed and the official announcement of their issue may be made at any time. Mr. Cleveland is as obstinate as ever. Notwithstanding the humiliating posi tion in which he is placed by the last batch of Hawaiian correspondence, which includes President Bole's manly and straightforward answer to Minister Wil lis's demand that the provisional gov ernment retire in favor of the dissolute woman who had previously announced her intention to behead her opponents as soon as she got back into power, and which was sent to the house Saturday and to tho senate Monday (the donate was not in session Saturday), he still wishes to restore the queen, and is mak ing use of the extra session to "convert" members of congress to his views. If public opinion instead of being strongly opposed as it has been from the first had been overwhelmingly iu favor of restora tion this batch of correspondence, which includes the dispatches of Willis hereto fore withheld, would have made restora tion impossible. If plain arguments and incontroverti ble facts counted for anything with dem ocrats, the Cleveland tariff bill would havo been buried beyond hope of resur rection by those presented against it by the few republicans who have had an opportunity to speak during tho absurd ly short time allowed for general debate. The orders to railroad the bill are im perative and there is little probability that any of the numerous amendments which will be offered by dissatisfied democrats during the debate under the five minute rule, which will occupy the rest of the time until the 29th inst., when the bill will be voted upon, will be adopted. But there is one consolation ahead. Mr. Cleveland will not be able to recognize his bill when the senate finance committee gets through with it Nothing conld show plainer what the democrats of the house really want than the applause they gave to the out and out free trade speeches of Tom Johnson of Ohio, Jerry Simpson of Kansas, and Bryan of Nebraska. They want free trade, and, as Representative Black of Illinois, who wants to succeed Senator Cullom, put it, to reduce wages in the United States to the level of those paid in other parts of the world. That is a beautiful and enticing program to lay before a nation of wage earners, now, isn't it? The opposition to the income tax proposition has unquestionably fright ened the democrats who favor it. One resnlt of the fright was the determina tion of the democrats of the ways and means committee not to offer the income tax as an amendment to the Cleveland tariff bill, but to report it to the house as a separato measure. Another is the proposition, not yet definitely acted upon, to hold a democratic caucus to decide whether the income tax shall be pushed or abandoned. The final result will be the same either way. The income tax may be forced through the house by a very small margin, but its death in the senate is certain. The minority report prepared by the republicans on the senate committee on privileges and elections against the bill for the repeal of the federal election laws which was passed by the house at tho extra session and is now before the senate, is a document that fairly bristles with common sense reasons why these laws should not be repealed. Common sense plays a very small part in demo cratic legislation, but there is a dim and shadowy hope that this bill may be de feated in the senate by democratic oppo sition to it. It is known that Mr. Cleve land's democratic friends in New York are afraid of the effects of repeal and that they have made their fears known to Mr. Cleveland and to some of the democratic senators. There is no significance in the election of Hon. J. H, Manleyof Maine to succeed Hon. T. H. Carter of Montana, as chair man of the executive committee of the Republican National committee. Mr. Carter wished to be relieved of a portion of the work. He still remains at the head of the national committee. Do people really love trashy literature, or do they read it chiefly because it is cheap and easily accessible? Much light is thrown on this inquiry by the expe rience of The Fornru, which is the very furthest remove from sensationalism. This leading monthly reduced its price from 5 to S3 a year, and discovered almost instantly that the number of readers of serious literature in the Unit ed States was as great or well-nigh as great as tho number of readers of the "popular" magazines. The publishers report a continuous increase, and an in crease at a faster rate since the January number appeared than before. The edi tion for February will, it is believed, be larger than any edition of any review ever hitherto published anywhere. With a mighty roar, as of thunder, a terrific snowslide came down the moun tains at Mullan, Idaho, Friday week, carrying everything before it. Every miner's cabin in its path was crushed and buried. Cornelius McGrevy and John B. Ollen were eating dinner in their cabin at the time and before they realiz ed their danger the slide was upon them, crushing the life out of them in a twink ling. It is feared others are buried under an immense slide of snow. Not until I spring comes will it be known how many I pensnea. Onr Neighbors. Colfax county received in 1892 tho sum of 81,301.33 as interest on the county money which-was deposited in the banks and in 1893 the sum of 81,612.50 was re ceived. In 1894 the amount is estimated at 82,000. This is a clear gain, as for merly the county treasurers and banks had the use of the money for themselves. Quill. The Howell's Journal gives an account of a shooting at a charivari where one young man carried a gun that was dis charged and seriously injured Frank Cada, the full charge entering his left leg above the knee. The paper says it was "extreme carelessness," and proba bly no one will dispute that that is a very mild name for it. The inquiry of the school board con cerning the condition of the records of the police judge for the years' 18S9 to 1893 is a very pertinent and proper one. If the school funds have been unaccount ed for or embezzled the deficit should be made good. If they have not, the ascer tainment of th:it fact will vindicate the name of the deceased Judge Williams and relieve his bondsmen of all appre hension in the matter. Fremont Trib. Nebraska City property owners have had the screws put to them on insurance rates, same as they have in Fremont. At that place Tuesday night a mass meet ing was held to protest against the action of the companies in raising the rates. Several business men spoke in a pointed way on the outrage, and a number of oily-tongued agents were also'-present to make it appear that the new burden is really in the interests of thoinsurers, who couldn't see it that way. Nothing definite vas done except to agroe to draw up a protest for proparty owners to sigu. Tribune. A young man by the name of Peter Blau, working for Patrick O'Neil, of Clarks, was found dead in his bed Tues day morning. From the causes sur rounding his death it was deemed besl to hold a coroner's inquest. Tho facts shown there were to the effect that he had from 8150 to 8250 on his person, and had used none iu the meantime, although but 81.10 was found on his person. There were many other mysterious cir cumstances surrounding the death. The coroner's jnry, however, brought in a verdict of death from natural causes. Central City Nonpariel. Philo Ackerman, of Brainard, was un in the county court Monday for taking a small barn from some lots in Brainard. It appears that the Odd Fellows lodge there held n mortgage on his premises, and proceeded to take the property, after which he moved the barn off the lots, and then the lodge had bim arrested. As he had done the work openly without any attempt at secrecy, it was shown that the law would not hold him for the offense, there being no evidence to show he had done the work with any felonious intent Monday an old gentleman named Stewart, boarded the freight at Garrison to come to David City, but was put off the train by the train crew. He went into the ticket office and presented a 8100 bill, but the agent was short of the amount of change necessary to change that kind of a bill, and being well acquainted with the old gentleman, told him ho would just give him a ticket and while ho was up here he conld get the bill changed and hand him the amount of the ticket when he returned, but he would not take the tickot that way, and boarded tho train. When tho conductor passed through the car for tickets, he paralyzed him by flashing tho big bill before his eyes. The conductor was short of change too, as he did not know when ho left Lincoln that he would find that much money along the route. Mr. Stewart could not, or at least would not, pay his fare except out of that bill, and the result was that the train was stopped and he was put off, after quite a pulling match between him, the conductor and two brakemen, in which he tried to use his cane, but they took it away from him, and finally set him off and left him. David City News. The governor, attorney-general and secretary of state have approved the bonds and designated six additional state depositories. The list of banks so designated together with the amounts of their bonds is as follows: Nebraska City National, 850,000; First National of Beatrice, 850,000; German National of Hastings, 830,000; Citizens National of Geneva, 815,000; First National of Ord, 810,000, and First Nntional of Friend, 840,000. The above banks combined will be entitled to hold not to exceed 8195,000 of state funds. The state is now drawing interest upon 8645,000, with more bonds to be approved by the board. President Dole's refusal to abdicate on the bidding of Grover Cleveland is couched in pretty vigorous language, but it will be exceedingly pleasing to the United StateB. Cleveland's meddling in this Hawaiian matter constitutes the most disgraceful episode in the entire history of American diplomacy, and it has been unsparingly condemned by the people withont distinction of party or section. Globe-Democrat. Current political literature contains the following paragraph, which is not being copied by democratic newspapers: "A married lady was heard to remark at a sewing circle that she had to go home to sew on a democratic badge for her husband. On inquiry what she meant, she replied, 'a patch on the seat of his pants, made necessary by sitting around waiting for work.' " ADDITIONAL LOCAL. City Conncil. Council met Saturday evening at seven o'clock in adjourned session at the call of the mayor; all present. On motion of Hoffman, the regular order of business was dispensed with, in order to give all the time to the discus sion of the waterworks problem. lialley of the committee on water works stated that under the direction of the council a survey had been made, and Engineer Arnold was ready to report, with a profile, which he proceeded to do. It showed the pipe-line, with the rise and fall of the ground from tho Loup river to the power-house, starting two feet be low the present surface of the water. The distance is 9631 feet; the average depth of the pipe-line 5 feet, and in some places the pipe would have to be covered ; the fall is 6 feet; a 14-inch pipe would give a flow of 12 gallons a second, or 1,036,800 in 24 hours. The council made a rough, (but con- eidered a low) estimate of the cost, on the basis furnished by the engineer: Digging ditch S 530 00 Cost of pipe. 5000 00 Laying pipe 500 00 86000 00 Considerable informal discussion took place, Welch saying that he did not pin his faith to this system, but ha did want some guaranty that the city would get water enough. Mayor Schupbach thought we could get all the water wa want, if we lay the system of points out large enough. Spoarry remarked that the drive-well system had dona for five years; that when the points were renewed they were put in the sameold holes. If the system was made to cover a larger area, and the points put into the gravel, he thought it would be more satisfactory than the river system, in which there was not fall enough to wash out tho sand, and in which there were places whore the sup ply pipe would have to be covered over, and where it was liable to be washed out in a flood. Water Commissioner Schroeder, being called upon, gave his views, answering numerous questions. We give only a very brief summary: the first vein of water is 23 feet below the surface and runs in a 3-foot led of gravel; tho second vein is 43 feet below tho surface and in a lied of gravel 6 to 7 feet thick. He drew two plans, one covering, a space 120x120 feet, tho other 240x60 feet, both being four clusters of twelve points to the cluster, the lubes being 2 inches in diamter; the cost would be about 82,000, might be a little more; it could be ready in 30 to 40 days after material ordered, say 60 days from acceptance of plans. He said that so long as a supply can be got from drive-wells, it is preferable to the other method. On motion of Spoorry, seconded by Newman, the Water Commissioner was instructed to prepare plans nnd specifi cations of a 48-point system, covering a space of 210x60 feet, and including item ized cost, nnd report the same to the council at the earliest practicable date. Adjourned, subject to call of the mayor. IVrH4in.il Taxo. Personal taxes for the year 1893 are delinquent after February 1st, and from that date bear ten per cent interest.
