How profound an argument!
CoNditEssMAX Haineu of Hamilton
county has been re-nominated by accla
mation. Thk populists of the Fifth district
Lave re-nominated Congressman Alc
Keighan. The 2-year old girl of William Thorp
near Burwell, fell into a l)arrel of vrator
and was drowned.
The Elm Creek Irrigating Canal com
pany has been voted a donation of
10,000 in bonds.
The Omaha World-Herald is for Uryan
as agaiust Morton and Castor and the
administration wing of the democracy,
who will doubtless make a desperato
effort to overthrow tho congressman and
secure his defeat for United States
senator.
James M. Kr.uir, representing a com
pany with a capital of S50,000,000, has
leen making propositions to farmers of
Holt, Hock, Brown and Cherry counties
to furnish them all the water they may
need for next year's crops. Tho irrigat
ing ditch which he purposes will also
give employment this fall.
All western states are becoming
aroused to the importance of extermi
nating the Russian thistle, Minnesota
seemingly taking tho lead in instituting
repressive measures. The agricultural
experiment station, in order to apprise
all of its appearance, have sent out
mounted dry specimens to school, road
and railway overseers. An exchange
Bays: "It is not a difficult task to recog
nize its greenish, bnnch-hko foliage, as
it rests clinging by a singlo stem to the
ground, spreading a net work of inter
minable, thickly-clustered branches over
several square feet of soil which other
wise might raise several fine hills of
corn. Push the naked hand into tho
cluster and you will think a thousand
needles have pricked it; let it go to seed
and it will roll and tumble over the
prairies scattering tens of thousands of
seeds of 6ure destruction."
A coKKESPONDEST, who is an ardent
admirer of John M. Thurston, has this
to say:
'There is not a man in Nebraska but
recognizes the eminent merit of John M.
Thurston. At our greatest political
meetings we go to no extra tronble to
send abroad for a great speaker, we are
only too glad if we can get our own
Thurston. Whether upon the lecture
platform, at college commencements, or
at any manner of literary assemblage,
the multitudes are always desirous of
hearing the great Nebraska orator. Yet
the only recognition given him by Ne
braska, so far as we know, is the naming
in his honor a countv. a town and :i
hotel, and with the western cowboys a
sort of whisky concoction, the same as is
extensively used in Iowa as an antidote
for snake bite. We say send somebody
to the U. S. 6enate; and in the name of
the younger voters of the state or Ne
braska. I say that somebody should be
John M. Thurston."
Extra Sevdnu.
The following circular letter by Thos.
Norbury of Calloway. Nebraska, ex
plains itself:
To the Editor: To avert the calamity
whichis impending over large jiortions
of Nebraska through unexampled
drouth, and consequent failure of crops,
it is urgently requested that you im
press upon yonr readers the desirability
of at once petitioning the governor of
this state to convene an extra session of
the legislature for the purpose of dis
cussing the situation and devising means
to minimize the approaching ealamitv
and to avert famine.
Unless something be devised to enable
the farmers to remain on their farms,
large tracts of country, especially iu ihe
newly settled portions, will be virtually
abandoned and unexampled privation
and suffering will ensue. An exodus
has already begun which unless checked
by a prospect of relief, will throw the
"Commonweal" movement into the
shade, endanger existing institutions
and set back the clock of western pro
gress for years.

Attempt to Wreck a Train.
Georgetown, Colo., Aug. 21. An at

San Francisco, Aug. 21. The Ex

Shici-Gen, Corea, Aug. 2 1. A bloody
battle has just been fought at Songhwan
This place is the headquarters of th
Japanese general, Oshima, and is one ol
the most important villages of the king j
doin. The Chinese have very strong j
fortifications at Songhwan and 15,000
troops are said to be stationed there. Tin
Japanese determined to capture the arm'
and provisions and baited the army by t
clever bit of intrigue." They gave oul
that they were going to inarch back tc
Ah-San and in fact they did parade for s
considerable distance in that direction,
but no eooner were they convinced of the
6uccess of their scheme in making the
Chinese believe they had left the settle
ment than they inarched with a rust
straight up to the fortifications, attack
ing them in a body. They made a clear
sweep of everything in the course of five
hours1 fighting.
The Chinese were unprepared and foi
the sake of the truth, be it known, the
were "chin-chinning," the war joss
that is bowing, kowtowing and firing
crackers off to a big wooden deity set ur
on a cannon ball. About 1,000 Chinese
were killed in the engagement and 7t
Japanese.
The Chinese, with their tibial cow
ardice, deserted man of the fan kwai
(foreign devil officers) and when given
orders to resist the advance of the enemy
turned and fell upon their swords, pre
ferring to commit suicide rather than le
murdered by the Japanese. The Japa
nese officers and men fought like tigers.
Some of the methods of warfare useJ
were ridiculously gruesome and harrow
ing. For instance, the Chinese, it is told,
used old fashioned stinkpots, (lowls
slung on poles and filled with sulphuric
and other bad smelling, deadly acids,
which kill perhaps more quickly than a
rifle shot). One stinkpot cast in among
a dozen soldiers kills every man inside
of a few seconds. The Mongols also re
sorted to wooden axes and to long bam
lo poles. Man' of them threw their
guns away deliberately when they caught
a glimpse of the enemy surrounding
them like a demon cloud.
It is imjosMbIe lo accurately describe
the barbarities which thee people prac
tice in their methods of war, and also in
their penal punishment in times of peace.
THREATENS TO SUE UNCLE SAM.
Anandale, an Englishman, Claim Damage
For Ileitis Unlawfully Arrested.
Quebec, Aug. 21. Quite a sensational
story has been told here in connection
with the arrest made in February last of
Hugh Anandalo, under charge of cm
liezzlement from the Bank of Newcastle,
England. It will be remembered that
Anandale, whose extradition had been
granted by the American authorities,
was tried in England and acquitted, his
innocence lieing clearly proven. The
following is the summary of the story,
told by the man himself: A man named
Arnold ran away from the place with a
largo sum of money belonging to the
bank and crossed over to America. He
landed at New York, and while being
driven to Baltimore in a wagon was tho
victim of a serious accident and was
taken to a hospital. fie made tho ac
quaintance of a patient suffering with a
grave disease of the lungs. The pa
tient's name was Mr. Anandale.
Serious fears were entertained for Mr.
Anandale, and thinking the latter
would never leave the hospital, he dis
appeared and traveled under the name
of Anandale and thus succeeded in foil
ing the police. One night he was killed
in a railroad accident at Baltimore and
the coroner, not knowing that the de
ceased was a criminal, informed the
family in England and held the usual
inquest. Later on, the police put on the
false track, made tho arrest of Mr.
Anandale, who had recovered and left
the hospital, and tho latter was delivered
to the British authorities and tried with
the result here stated. Mr. Anandale
will claim damages from the American
government and will institute an action
for $25,000.
Harcourt Would Xot Tell Tlicua.
London, Aug. .'!. In the house of

to make any further explanation. The
motions were all defeated in a house of

Miss Pullmau to Marry a Priure.

Biersteiu aud the Archduchess Maria
Louise of Austria and a cousin of the
emperor of Austria. Mi-s Pullman's
father only consented to his daughter's
engagement to the prince on condition
that the children shall posses the full
rights of succession to the title, digni
ties and heriilitarr privileges of thi
house of Isenbu rg-Biertein. Accordim
to the Australian law, the agnates of the
house of Isenburg-Bierstein must, hi

Tho foregoing shows reports from 47
of the leading theaters of tho United
States. For every 1, 700 received by
these theaters during the first three
months of 1S93 their receipts amounted
to only u,-10S during the first three
months of the present year, fho loss be
ing 1,202, or 27 per cent for tho whole
country. While tho actor is not directly
protected by a tariff, it is very evident
that the prosperity of the country under
a protective tariff affords larger receipts
to those engaged in tho theatrical pro
fession than the disturbed condition of
the country will permit uuder the mere
threat ot free trade. When people are
not earning money at all or are not
earning good wages, it is impossible for
them to spend money upon amusements.
Protection to American industries means
prosperity to the theatrical business.
Tree Haw Material Theory.
Free traders pretend to want raw ma
terials. They do when the material is
of northern production, but not when
it comes from tho south. Wo have had
free cotton, free hides and free silk.
What the result has been the following
figures will show:
Importation of Exiwrtation of
manufac- mnnufac-
Free ran- tared oods. tured goods,

Hides 12,.V;),1S3 12,275,170

Instead of capturing the markets of
the world, we have imported far more
of tho manufactured article than we
have exported. Thus another free trade
bubble is exploded.

traders agree. Both speeches were made

the President's, Attach on Labor and Tax
on the Urcakfust Table.
The president of the United States,
Mr. Grover Cleveland, has seen fit to
recommend to congress that coal and
iron ore should be admitted into the
United States free of duty, and that
sugar should be taxed. The extent of
such an evil may be briefly stated as
follows:
The coal product of the United States
in 1892 was 180,000,000 tons, worth
$207,500,381 at the mines' mouth. It
afforded employment to 341,943 work
ers, who each found remunerative oc
cupation on 212 different days in the
year. Their earnings amounted to ? 124,
809,195, and all expenditures to 146,
536, 2S0. The total amount of capital
invested in the coal mines was $350,
000,000. The principal states of pro
duction, iu their order of importance,
were Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, West
Virginia, Alabama, Iowa, Colorado,
Maryland, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas,
Missouri, Wyoming and Tennessee. The
United States senators from these states
are interested in the welfare and Dros-
perity of their stutfjenterprwes wd in- j
dns tries.
Tho iron oro product of tho United
States for the year ended June 30, 1890,
was 14,518,041 tons of 2,240 pounds
each, worth 33,351,978 at tho mines'
month. It afforded employment to 38,
227 workers, who earned $14,409,151.
Tho total amount of capital invested
was $109,766,199, and tho total year's
expenditures wero $24,781,658 from
592 different mines. The principal states
of production, in their order of impor
tance, were Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ala
bama, Illinois, New York, Virginia,
Tennessee, Michigan, Wisconsin, New
Jersey, West Virginia, Missouri and
Maryland. The United States senators
from these states are interested in the
welfare and prosperity of their state en
terprises and industries.
The sugar consumption of the United
States on a basis of 68,000,000 people,
at a per capita consumption of 65
pounds, is 4,420,000,000 pounds of
sugar. The value of 4,420,000,000
pounds at 3 cents per pound is$132,600,
000. An ad valorem tax of 40 per cent

HOW BUSINESS DEPRECIATED.
A Showing of Democratic Maladministra
tion That Iteats All Records.
The total bank clearings of the coun
try from April 1, 1893, to March 31,
1894, showed a loss in tho volume of
trade in the United States as reported at
55 different cities amounting to more
than $13,500,000,000 in money. Inves
tigating this samo interesting subject
during the second year of the present
administration, we find that from April
1 to Juno 30 the bank clearings at the
same 55 different cities have been even
less than they were during tho same
threo months of 1893. And comparing
these three months of the present and
two preceding years we have the follow
ing: BVNK CI.EAKINOS AT VI FT V-FIVK CITIES.

Hero it io seen that where tho first
three mouths of a Democratic adminis
tration in 189u resulted in acomparative
ly trilling loss of some $330,000,000 to
tradu in the United States as compared
with tho business during the same
mouths of 1892, a year later we find
that the aggregate shrinkage of business
for tho corresponding period in 1894
has exceeded 3, 500, 000, 000 as com
pared with 1893, while this year's busi
ness as compared with that of the pros
perous year of 1892 shows the enormous
decrease of almost $4,000,000,000.
The clearing house reports to Brad
street's during the first six mouths of
tho present year show a shrinkage of
over $9,000, 0"00, 000 as compared with
the first six mouths of 1893, a loss of 29
per cent in the country's business. This
in an economic record of Democratic
maladministration through the fear of
tariff tinkering that cannot be extin
guished. The Workman' Call.
Heed, labor, heed your children's cries and let
free traders see
The nation's once proud sovereign in his peer
less majesty
Make cities shake and traitors quake beneatli
your mighty tread.
The voice that sings protection's hymn should
wake the very dead.
Tell Cleveland now and Cockran, too, and Wil
son, with his bill.
That they stand in hostile attitude io work
men's expressed will.
Tell that horde of free trade lords who now in
congress rave
Thej'll bear tho brand of Arnold to a foul, dis
honored grave.
Before us stand the fabrics grand protection
laws hae raised.
Their silent looms, their ruined homes and la
bor now debased.
The giant twuin of hand and brain free trad
ers have struck down.
And the nation's once proud sovereign is a
pauper on the town.
The homo of peace and wifelike grace is cold
and cheerless now.
Free traders' work has left its mark on the
weeping mother's brow.
The naked walls and wind swept halls the sad
dening story tells.
Our youtli must find some shelter kind in the
city's gilded hells.
Who is the knave that madly raves for Wil
son's free trade plan
In congress hall to plan the fall of the once
proud wcrkingman?
Base Cockran Prst, who held our trust, against
us has engaged.
lie's playing the clown and low buffoon on
Cleveland's free trade stage.
Sor; other names that labor claims will fight
our battle still.
They will espouse the workman's cause nnd
smash the Wilson bill.

that congress hail.
The man that now strikes labor down his time

WADE HAMPTON'S TOUR
United States Commissioner o!
Railroads In Omaha.
INSPECTING THE UNION PACIFIC.
General Gircs Ills Opinion In Rej;arri tr
Solution or the Pacific Kail road Indebt-
, edness He Is Xot Iu Favor of Govern
ment Ownership or Railroads Congress
man Mercer Kenomiuated.
Omaha, Aug. 21. General Wade
Hampton, the United States commis
sioner of railroads, is in Omaha inspect
ing the Union Pacific. In regard to the
salution of the Pacific railroad indebted
ness, General Hampton said:
"It is a great mistake the people of the
country are making in regard to the
payment, by the railroads, of their obli
gations to tho government. All the
railroads having received aid from thf
government ate rigidly living up to thf.
terms of the Thnrman act, paying 25 pei
cent of their net earnings into the treas
ury as interest upon the bonds. But this
is by no means sufficient to assist the
government in paying interest on its own
bonds, and therein the chief difficulty
lies. The roads have been honest iu the
matter, but 25 per cent is hardly a drop
in the bucket which is required from
the government, and I would bo in favoi
of increasing the amount to 50 pjr cent
of the net earnings to lte paid by govern
ment aided roads in order to assist the
government to meet its interest charges.
Talk About Government Ownership.
To my mind government ownership is
not possible. It would take something
like $IS0,000,00t to purchase tho road;
known as the government aided compa
nies. Think of the interest on the bonds
necessary to be floated to accomplish thi
object and what the people would be
taxed to pay the interest on the lonls.
Then the question of transportation
would cut no iiicontqiiential figure iu
the manipulation ami operation of the
roads owned by the government, so that
altogether 1 believe government owner
ship entirely out of the question.
"The government lxmds do not com
mence to mature before 1S!7 I think i
the average, although some mature next
year. By that tim-1 feci sure a basis of
reorganization will le ready to submit
to congress. 1 would personally Ik i
favor of extending the government debt
say for a period ot 50. or. if it was
thought necessary, 100 years, to tlraw
about 3 per cent interest, the interest
and a certain proportion of the principal
to b paid every :j5 years, the roads to
give a mortgage over the whole .system
at the end of the time the bonds are to
run for the payment of the remaining
portion of the principal."
Will Petition Sntolll.
Hastings. Neb., Aug. 21. The an
nouncement that Bishop Bonacum had

We wonder what this world would be
to us if throughout our lives wo re
posed on a bed of roses! Should wo
in reality, feel more happy than
when, under the present social dis
pensation, we frequently feel a sharp
Ihorn in our sides, and a fibre of their
keen biting points starting out
against our heads in the night-time
as if so many little imps were holding
a carnival amidst the feathers of our
pillow? We have often asked the
question both of ourselves and others,
hut never could obtain a satisfactory
answer; and being obliged to take
refuge in the court of experience, we
very soon discovered that appearances
were invariably deceptive, and that
the loses and thorns of life mingle
promiscuously together; that they
were inseparably united one for a
stimulant to man, the other as a re
ward to hlmj during the natural
oaugfs tweenjUuexerti?gj
