Osceola Record. The Cairo (Egypt) Public Works de partment is advertising in New York city for proposals for the construction of a system of street railways. Think of Yankees in the land of the Pharoahs, lifting Egyptians out of the rut of ages! News reached the navy department Friday that the Kearsage, Uncle Sam's old reliable warship, had been wrecked Feb. 2d on Roncadore reef; officers and crew were saved. The vessel was one of the oldest in the navy and had a won derful history. The twelfth woman has been admitted to practice before the United States supreme court, and has signed the rolL She is Miss Kate H. Pier, a prominent young lady from Milwaukee, and Sena tor Vilas of Wisconsin moved her admis sion. Mrs. Belva Lockwood of Wash ington was the first woman attorney to appear there, being admitted in 1875. Judge Caldweli one of the U. S. judges at St. Louis, holds some level headed views, as: "The employes on a road in the hands of a receiver are the employes of the court, and as much in its service as the receivers themselves,1 and as much entitled to be heard upon; any proposed order of the court which: would affect the whole body of em ployee." The commissioners of Douglas county lately refused to cancel taxes on Kountze Memorial Lutheran church, because there was no authority to grant the re quest, the petitioner having failed to make complaint at the proper time be fore the board of equalization. A further reason was that portions of the lots be longing to the church are used for other than religious purposes. THE'South Omaha Stockman says that hogs sold a year ago Friday at $7.90 and $8.20 that day $5.05; receipts of hogs Friday 5,600 head; that fresh beef ex ported during the last fiscal year amount ed to 206,000,000 lbs., of which Great Britain took 205,000,000 lbs. Salt beef exports were 58,000,000 lbs., all of which were taken by Great Britain. The can ned beef exported amounted to 79,000,000 lbs., and Great Britain bought it all. The building and loan associations of Nebraska are doing a magnificent work for the state in enabling men to clear their property of mortgages, as well as put up buildings. The largest institution of the kind, operating under our laws, is the Nebraska of Omaha which reports paid up capital, $57,233.50; mortgage loans, $83,799.34; stock loans, $2,723.66. The interest receipts foot up $47,734.59, and premiums, $49,081.65, of which $19, 000.83 was repaid. The assets of the association amount to $160,866.14, and taxes paid, $8,900.81. Musical Sayinc. Music is as essential to the cultivated human being as bread and bntter, and he would as soon think of living without one as the other. John Towers. Love your instrument, but do not have the vanity to think it the highest and only one. Consider that there are others quite as fine. Remember, too, that there are singers; that the highest manifesta tions in music are through chorus and orchestra combined. Schumann. Persons who would not let a self taught physician prescribe their medi cine, allow a self-appointed 'Professor" to train their children, though his only claim to fitness as teacher be that he plays "Home, Sweet Home" with varia tions, or rather, deviations. Music one of the most complex and abstruse of sciences; music the most difficult of all arts, taught by the brainless and untu tored! How preposterous the thought! Louis Lumbard. It is a curious thing that despite the . arduous nature of the work of prima donna they do not reach the full matur ity of their powers until they are well near the two score mark. At forty a prima donna is in her prime. Grand opera artists, Nordica, Melba and Caive, for instance, are between thirty-five and forty. Mme. Eaxnes, who is twenty eight, is not expected by the knowing ones to reach her full power for nearly flfteen years. Western Musician. REED'S SPEECH. The country knew last week that the Wilson bill had passed the house, and the great dailies have given the best of the speeches made on both sides. We reproduce the report of Tom Reed's speech. The great congressman from Maine has the candor of a child and a force of intellect not excelled by any of our public men. His speeeh should be made a study by those who have not had much time to devote to the subject. It commends itself: "Mr. Reed rose from the center of the republican side amid wild cheering and hand-clapping of the galleries and the huzzas of his party friends about him. Mr. Reed frowned and shook his head as though the demonstration were dis tasteful to him. He waited for the ap plause to cease. Standing in the aisle, clad in a long Prince Albert coat, with head erect and defiant, he looked the physical and intellectual giant He began to speak atlast slowly and deliberately in the voice that has become so familiar to the people. There is an aggressiveness in Mr. Reed's speech which counts for more than rhetoric. He spoke today with his back to his friends, his face to the foe across the aisle. Save for his ringing voice the drop of a pin could have been heard. Mr. Reed's words were: "In this debate, which has extended over many weeks, one remarkable result has already been reached, a result of the deepest importance to the country. That result is that the bill before us is odious to both sides of the house. On this side we believe that while it pretends to be for protection it does not afford it, and on the other side they believe that while it looks toward free trade it does not accomplish it Those who will vote against the bill will do so because it opens our markets to the destructive competition of foreigners and those who vote for it do it with a reservation that they will instantly devote themselves to a new crusade against whatever barriers are left UXCEBTAINTT BOUND TO PREVAIL. "Whatever speeches have been made in defense of the bill, on the other side, whether by gentlemen who were respon sible only to their own constituencies or by the gentleman from West Virginia, who ought to have been steadied by his sense of responsibility to the whole country, have one and all, with but rare exceptions, placed their authors com promisingly, except for temporary pur poses, on the side of unrestricted free trade. It is evident tliat tnere is no ground for that hope entertained by so many moderate men that this bill, bad as it is, could be a resting place where onr manufacturing and productive indus tries, such as may survive, can re-establish themselves and have a sure founda tion for the future, free from party bickering and party strife. Hence, also, there can be no foundation for that cry, so insiduously raised that this bill should beat once passed, because uncer tainty is worse than any bill can possibly be. Were this bill to pass both bran ches today, uncertainty would reign just the same. "So utterly undisputed and so dis tinctly visible to every human being in this audience has been its growth that whatever the future industrial system of this country may be, the past system is a splendid monument to that series of successful statesmen who found it the best place for wages in the world and left it first on the list of the nations." PROSPERITY AND HIGH WAGES. Mr. Reed quoted at length from Eng lish authorities showing the strength of their confidence in the prosperity of this country. "These quotations also are re minders for you, Mr. Speaker, and all who hear me now, that the laborer who has been long enough in America to know his opportunities has found it the best place for wages in the world. Is there any example in the history of the world of any nation situated like ours who has taken the step toward which we are invited. Some gentlemen, perhaps, are hastening to say that England affords us the needed example, that we have but to turn to her history and find all that we need by way of example, just as in the statements of her political econo mists we shall find all that is necessary for advice, for guidance and instruction. Mr. Speaker, I have looked there and I am amazed to find how little the exam ple of England can teach." After quot ing statistics to show the great rise in wages since 1860, Mr. Reed continued: "The truth is that this very question of rising wages is what makes a good many free traders. People with fixed incomes think that anything which raised wages is inimical to them and manufacturers who have foreign markets are naturally anxious to have wages on the foreign standard. I confess to you that this question of wages is to me the vital question. To insure our growth in civil ization and wealth we must not only have wages as high as they are now, but constantly and steadily increasing. This desire of mine for constantly increasing wages does not have its origin in love for the individual, but in love for the nation. AMERICAN MARKET THE BEST. Mr. Reed eulogized the American market as the best in the world, owing to the high wages paid here enabling workingmen to purchase largely of the comforts of life. "Instead of increasing this market," he said, "by leaving it to the steady increase of wages which the figures of the Aldrich report so conclu sively show, and which have not only re ceived the sanction of the members from New York, the secretary of the treasury and the democratic bureau of statistics, by this action the committee proposes to lower wages and so lessen the market and then divide that market with some body else, and all for the chance of get ting the markets of the world. To add to the interesting impossibilities of this contention the orators on the other side say they are going to maintain wagea Are not wages the cost of production? II the difference between the cost of production here and in England be not equalized by the duty, then our cost of production must go down or we must go ont Our laws have -invited money and men and we have grown great and rich thereby. The gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Black) has not liked that men come here, and he does not want them to come; hence he is willing that our wages shall be lowered to keep people away! Well, this is not the time to discuss im migration, but while people are coming, I am glad they have not yet imbibed the gentleman's idea and have not yet begun to clamor for lower wages. "To sum it up, if this protection gives us money and men, and our vast country needs both, it may show why we have so wonderfully prospered. If it does, I am inclined to think that the way to have jobs hunting men is to keep on making new mills and trying to prevent the com mittee on ways and means from pulling down old ones. WHAT ABOUT THE PABMEB? "But what about the farmer? Well, on that subject I do not profess any special learning, but there is one simple statement I wish to make and leave the question there. If, with cities growing up like magic, manufacturing villages dotting every eligible seat and all swarm ing with mouths to be filled, the produ cers of food are worse off than when half this country was -desert I abandon sense in favor of political economy. "Other things I have noticed in this debate. When the gentleman from Kan sas (Mr. Simpson) gets a little money ahead, he does not put it into stocks in these immensely profitable manufac tures. He has too much sense. He adds it to his farm and has told us so. Ex ample is richer than precept If the hope of agriculture is in English free trade, they had better ponder on the fact that while the wages of artizans have increased in England $2.43 per week since 1850, the wages of agricul tural laborers have only increased 72 cents, and while the Lancashire opera tives in the factories live as well as any body except Americans the agricultural laborers are hardly better off than the continental peasantry. England's ex ample will not do for agriculture. CLAIM THAT WAS NEVER MADE. "Here let me meet some other ques tions, and let me meet them fairly. We are charged with having claimed that the tariff alone will raise wages. We have never made such a claim in any such form. Free traders have set up that claim for us in order to triumphant ly knock it over. What we do say is that where two nations have equal skill and equal appliances and a market nearly equal, and one of them can hire labor at one-half less, nothing but a tariff can maintain the higher wages, and that we can prove. We are the only rival that England fears, for we alone have in our borders the population and the wages, the raw material, and within our selves the great market which insures to us the most improved machinery. Our constant power to increase our wages insures us also continuous progress. If yon wish us to follow the example of England, I say yes with all my heart; but her real example and nothing less. Let us keep protection as she did until no rival dares to invade onr territory, and then we may take onr chances for a future which by that time will not be unknown. "Nobody knows so well as I do how much I have failed to present even an idea of the great argument which should control this vote. I have said not a word of the great fall of prices which has always come from the competition of the whole world rendered possible by protec tion and substituted for the competition of a single island. I have said not a word of the great difference between the attitude of employers who find their own workmen their best customers in their own land, and who are, therefore, moved by their own best interest to give their workmen fair wages, and those who sell abroad are therefore anxious for low wages at home, and on whom works un restricted the pernicious doctrine that as wages fall profits rise. These and much more have I omitted, for there is a limit to all speaking. We know that to affect this tribunal we all of us plead in vain. Why we fail let those answer who read the touching words of Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural and remember that he pleaded in vain with these same men and their predecessors. When he failed we cannot expect to succeed. But though we fail here today, like our great leader of other days, in the larger field before the mightier tribunal which will finally and forever decide this question, we shall be more than conquerors. For this great nation, shaking off as it has once before the influence of a lower civ ilization, will go on to fulfill its high destiny until over the south, as well as over the north, shall be spread the full measure of that amazing prosperity which is the wonder of the world." CHEERED TO THE ECHO. Throughout Mr. Reed's speech he was frequently interrupted with applause and at times the democrats joined in the general laughter at his wittier passages. When at 1:30 o'clock he glanced at the clock which noted that his time had ex pired, the eloquent republican entered upon his brief peroration. There was an intense stillness throughout the house. His closing reference to Lincoln was made in a low voice, which could hardly have been caught had not every ear on the floor and in the galleries been strain ed to catch every word. As he closed, his left hand was raised high in one of the few gestures which had marked his speech. As his hand fell and the speech closed there was a burst of applause which swelled into a tumult uous demonstration as the enthusiastic galleries gave shouts, hurrahs and sharp whistles, which are often, heard in theaters, but seldom in the halls of congress. Mr. Reed bowed his acknowledgment 10 me demonstration, and without re suming his seat or waiting for the many hand shakes to congratulate him, he made his way back to the republican cloak room. Half way up the aisle he was met by a page bearing a huge basket of American Beauty and La France roses. Again he bowed his acknowledge ments, as the flowers brought out anoth er burst of applause. Then a mass of roses were placed on Mr. Reed's desk and he retired to the cloak room, where he was the center of congratulatory demon strations by his colleagues, lasting many minutes."

The Gulf and liter-State Railway Co. are just now Jmaking a strong effort to start with actual work on the enterprise that was some time ago outlined on paper. The essential points of the plan, boiled down, are: 1. To build a railway and telegraph line from a deep-water harbor, on the Texas coast, through Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas, with lateral lines and branches. 2. The entire cost, including rolling stock, is to be kept within $15,000 a mile, and no indebtedness, of any kind, is to be incurred above that sum. 3. The rate of interest is limited to five per cent 4. Passenger rates are fixed at two cents a mile. 5. Freight rates are restricted to ac tual cost of operation an'd five per cent oncost 6. The free pass system is abolished. 7. Mileage books unlimited as to time, and good for anybody or any num ber of persons traveling together to use the same book. 8. -Advertising treated the same as any other payment for mileage. The aid asked is bonds by municipali ties, advances of money and material, to be paid in transportation of some kind. It is not expected that capitalists will furnish the funds. Every purchaser of a share of preferred stock shall receive 22 5-dollar "transportation certificates," which can also be purchased separate ly by those who cannot spare as much as $100. They will be received as cash, for half the price of tickets, freight and other charges, the other half being re quired in money to pay running ex penses. Thus the purchaser is to get his money back and $10 more in trans portation, simply paying in advance. Roll or Honor. mrs. neon's BOOM. Archie McFarland. Myrtle He wilt, Olics llagel. Sam Mahood.
