WEDNESDAY. DECEMBEIt Yl, 1894.
At Detroit, Mich., tbe public schools
were closed two weeks on acconnt of
diphtheria.
Horse fnn is not always desirable or
safe. Lewis Smith whoso collar bone
was broken in three places while being
initiated into n lodge of the Modern
Woodmen of America at Shirland, 111.,
threatens to sue the lodge for dnmages.
The president of tho United States
occupies five and a half columns of our

is marked off by what the printers call
sub-heads, so that you will have no
trouble in finding the subjects you wish
to read about.
A very mysterious disease is carrying
off great nmnlKsrs of cattle near Old
Monroe, Mo. It is eo severe that fat
cattle may come up for their feed in tho
morning and at noon bo found dead. In
some cases n flow of blood from the
nose, is all that indicates the disease.
Many farmers have lost their entire
herds.
Now that the campaign is over and
gone it is just as well to enjoy all the fun
that can bo gathered out of its incidents.
Hero is an item from the Fremont
Tribune:
"Win. Dobson, democrat, and Christ
Thompson, populist, had u tie vote in
the road district in Saunders county
opposite Fremont for the office of road
supervisor. In the draw for the job
Thompson won but he says he pioposes
to contest the election of Dobson, in ad
dition. The position is worth 30 a year
if it is carefully nursed."
The American Economist has been for
years and is now doing a work that is
unexcelled for good to the business in
terests of the United States. Its array
of facts is impregnablo, and those, with
out distinction of party, who faror this
country and its interests before all
others, are indebted to the Economist
for many a shot driven straight to the
mark. Here are two of its good items:
"Tho exports of linen manufactures
from Great Britain to tho United States
comprised 7,058,700 yards last month as
compared with 3,783,800 yards in Oclo-
ler, 1893. Tariff tinkering tells. '
'
"Tho addition of $100,000,000 to the
national debt within ten months is a
fair sample of a free trade 'object les
Bon.' It is a 'condition' that confronts
the people not a 'theory.' This addition
of debt during ten months of n free
trade administration is at the rate of
810,000,000 a month. It has cost the
people $333,333 during each and every
one of the 300 days'in these ten months
to pay for the privilege of threatening
protection. It has cost $13,900 every
hour of the ten months; it cost over $230
every minute; it has cost the country
almost $4 during every second of tho ten
months. Tho cost of a course of lec
tures kelivered by a Buffalo lawyer
and a West Virginia college professor is
certainly considerably more than it is
worth and very much more than tho
present generation of people will ever
pay again."
A Plain Duty.
Among all the bright men of tho re
publican party today none excel Tom
Reed in their grasp of the situation. His
speech before tho Home Market Club in
Boston was an admirable one in all res
pects, but especially interesting to repub
licans who have worked all ,ilong for
such legislation as would help develop
the natural resources of this country by
the citizens of this country. As to what
republicans should now do. having gain
ed a great political victory, he said:
"How then, can wo utilize this victory,
make it permanent and give to this
country a return of the prosperity of
past times? There is only one way. We
must educate the people of this country
up to the full measure of wisdom in this
matter, or, rather, tho people must edu
cate themselves. And there never was
abetter opportunity. Men's minds are
now receptive. In the last two years
they have seen the folly of all this Hip
pant talk about 'tariff taxation,' 'free
raw material,' 'markets of the world' and
all the other catchwords which exhibit
the wisdom of the parrot and the de
claimer instead of the wisdom of the
statesman.
Whet we need now is not general be
lief in our doctrines. We need teaching
which comes from practical results. We
need a distribution of the facts. When
I say to you that protection will cheapen
goods and make better goods, yon may
yield assent, but it may not be a fighting
faith. But when I show by facts and
figures, that ground glass, for example,
though raised 100 per cent by the Mc
Kinley tariff, has reached almost the
same price as before, and the consumer
gets American glass worth y) per cent
more, and every inch of it made by
American labor, I show something which
is an ever present answer to all the theo
ries of the world. Hardly one of the
audience I now address would fail to
give a like example within his own
knowledge. Truth has to be taught."
THE MARBLE MINERS.
LESS WORK AND LOWER WAGES UN
DER DEMOCRACY.
The Reduced Tariff Will Bring Marble
From Italy and Swedes It Comes as
Ballast Free f Freight The Foreign
Workers Get Half the Pay of Americas.
An industry to which little attention
seems to be given by persons outside of
those interested in it is that of quarry
ing and manufacturing marble. I am
not now speaking of the beautiful Ca
rarra marble used in statuary with
which we delight to please our sense of
the beautiful, but the more substantial
and useful sort that is used for various
building purposes. The industry in. this
country alone represented an output of
$8,705,000 in 1892, and this means not
only a valuable production from a com
mercial point of view, but valuable,
too, for its intrinsic worth. The variety
of American marble is so great and the
quality so superior that for all purposes
of ordinary use we need not go out of
our own country to purchase this most
useful product of nature.
Marble is found in eight states, and
while mined most extensively in Ver
mont the seven others make a good
showing. This is a new industry for our
country, too. and was only made possi
ble by the encouragement afforded by a
protective tariff. In 1893 the production
had increased to its greatest value. Al
though, according to tho order of prog
ress, the year 1893 should have seen
an increa.no on the production of the
previous vear, instead there was a
falling off of $1,293,908, or 34.9 per
oent, bringing tho value down to
$2,411,092. So much for the effect upon
one industry of a protective tariff and
the threatening effect of a free trade
tariff. It has amounted to more than a
threat, however, for we find that the
new tariff has reduced tho former pro
tective duty by 23 per cent in the case
of unmanufactured marble and 10 per
cent in the case of manufactured. If
the house bill had become a law it
would have been even worso, for that
body proposed reducing the duty in each
case to a greater extent than the senate
bill.
What these reductions mean and how
they affect thoso who have heretofore
been given employment by this new in
dustry can best be understood by the
shutting down of tho companies that
quarry and manufacturer tho marble
which has been shown by the falling
off in value of production or in the
reduction in wages in other companies.
Of course it is perfectly clear that pro
ducers in this country cannot afford to
compete with their European neigh
bors, especially in Italy, where the low
wages are equal to less than half those
received by people employed in the mar
ble industry in the United States. A
gentleman from Sweden, who is au
thority upon the condition of the mar
ble industry in his own country, says:
"The price of labor is generally a lit
tle higher than for other kinds of work
in Sweden, but as compared with wages
in America those of Sweden are very
low. A skilled stonecutter earns about
220 per year. "
Think of this difference with the
American marble miners' earnings of
$405 a year and then consider how a pro
tective tariff has made the wages here
what they are and how its removal by
the "thimble ring tariff" will operate
by the time another year rolls around.
Having inquired into the marble busi
ness, with the result shown above, I
readily understood how it is that the
largest marble quarry in New York
proposes snutting down tne coming
winter. While it is true that they em
ploy only 108 hands, with a weekly out
put of 75 gangs per week, or an equiv
alent of 075 inches, yet if the same per
centage of employees are to be thrown
out of work in other sections what a
vast number will bo without employ
ment, and what deprivation it means
for their families!

Cheaper Barley.
For the year 1893, when the mere
threat of less or no protection for bar
ley was hanging over the head of tho
American fanner, the average price of
barley on all farms in the country was
only 40. G cents per bushel, or $8.90 per
acre, bringing the value of the barley
crop down almost as low as that of the
wheat crop, which was $S.21 per acre
in the same year. What will it bo when
tho Russian barley gets hero? Russia
has 30,000,000 bushels of barley for ex
port every year and can easily grow
more when sho can get into onr market
with tho assistance of the Democratic
party and their freo trade system.
We Sweep the World.
It is an old saying that a "new broom
sweeps clean" bat when wo say.,' we
sweep the world we mean that among
all the railways of the world none stands
higher in the estimation of the public, in
all especial points, than the Chicago,
Milwaukee &St. Paul Railway. It is the
only line west of Chicago which runs
electric-lighted, steam-heated and vesti
buled trains between Chicago, St. Paul
and Minneapolis, and between Chicago
and Omaha: JTryit. F-A.Nash,

As now conducted, this institution is
in high favor with the people of Nebras
ka, and well deserves to be.
Charles H. Morrill, president of the
board of regents, has transmitted to tho
governor, the Twelfth biennial report of
tho regents for tho two years ending
Nov. 30, '94, together with estimates of
the financial needs of the institution for
tho next two years.
It would be impossible in a brief news
paper article to give even a just summary
of what is contained in the report, but
there aro several items that must not go
unmentioned. Repairs are urcrentlv de
manded, but there was a total lack of
appropriations in this direction during
the two years, and now there is a crying
necessity that must bo heeded. There is
one phrase used by the president in this
part of his report that it seems to us ho
ought to make clear "as the university
carries no insurance." It is all right to
ask for water main and hydrants, and
these are tho more necessary, of course,
when there is no insurance, but why no
insurance? Is tho state acting on the
theory that she can afford to carry her
own risks by fire?
A small addition has been made to the
manual training shops, and the one
building now known as the electrical
laboratory and manual training shops
contains nearly $40,000 worth of appara
tus, machinery and instructional appli
ances, which have not cost the people of
the state a single penny.
Three years ago there were 450 stud
ents; this year 1300, but no additional
room during tho interim has been fur
nished by tho state. It would be a
shame to Nebraska if the board of
regente should be compelled by scant
appropriations to cut down the number
of pupils to eight hundred. It is seven
years since a building was erected on the
campus by legislative grant; Nebraska
has given to its university for buildings
$25,G00, while California has given to
hers $582,000, Indiana $210,000, Iowa
$240,000, Michigan $966,000, Wisconsin
$1,000,000 and so on. Of $300,000 now
invested in buildings, our unirersity has
been compelled to pay $274,400 out of
revgnnes primarily and especially set
apart for instruction and current expen
ses, more than half of which revenues
are a gift from the general government,
1 Mr. Morrill makes the declaration that
no other state has treated its university
so shabbily as to buildings.
Nebraska tax-payers do not mean to
be niggardly with any of their public
educational institutions that are doing
the work designed for them, and certain
ly the university, since Chancellor Can
field was placed at the helm, has been
steadily and rapidly growing in favor.
If, now, the legislators will do what is
right by the university and it keeps the
pace already set, by 1900 we shall have
one of the grandest institutions of learn
ing in all the land.

loving and devoted husband and father.
Comrade Tschudy was one of those
quiet, unassuming men who attend
strictly to their own affairs and leave
others to do the same. No doubt he
was a model soldier, whether in the
Swiss army, where he served ten years,
(two of them against the Sonderbund),
or in our own War of the Rebellion.
He lived his life in this world in the
line of duty; will be sincerely mourned
by all his acquaintances, and with his
comrades of Baker Post, left behind in
the lower army for some years longer,
his memory will be cherished as of one
faithful to the trusts confided to him,
and loyal and true to that liberty which
has helped to make of this nation what
it is today.

she was walking along the sidewalk on
tho east side of Quincy street, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth, block f2, lot
4, caused by snow and ico having leen

committee on judiciary and they report
that tho claim has received due consid

the opinion that the city had neither
actual nor constructive notice of any ob
struction on the sidewalk named at or
before the injury occurred; and there

the city attorney, is not liable. The
committee were Gray, Galley and Wells,

Tschudy At 8::J0 p. in., December 4,
1894, after an illness of several weeks,
of cancer, John Baltasar Tschudy, aged
03 years, 6 months, 25 days.
Tho subject of this sketch was born in
Schwanden.Cstnlon Giants, Switzerland,
May 9, 1S30. February lfi, 1860, he was
married lo Miss Ragula Steinman.
April 2, 1861, they landed in America,
and settled at Monroe, Wis. From
there they moved to Osseo, Minn.,
where ho enlisted in the Second Min
nesota volunteer infantry, and served as
a soldier of his sidopted country, in the
defense of its honor and its Hag, from
December 15, 1863 to July 11, 1865, and
had a promotion to corporal.
In August, 1870, he moved to this city,
where the remainder of his life was
psissed.
The old records of Baker Po6t were
lost, but it is reckoned by the comrades
that, Mr. Tschudy had been its quarter
master for eighteon successive years.
For many years he has been troubled
with an angry swelling in his neck and
had spoken to some of his most inti
mate friends about it, but to his wife he
had not said anything concerning it
until these last days, when he could no
longer, throngh kindly consideration of
his life-partner, keep from her the
knowledge of his trouble.
He suffered a very great deal and was
slowly choked to death by his ailment,
but at the last it is said he was like one
falling quietly to sleep, and his face, as
the body lay at rest in the casket, bore
its habitual expression.
The funeral took place Friday, from
the residence of the family, Rev. Dr.
Elliott residing the scripture lesson and
making some very appropriate remarks.
Baker Post G. A. R. took charge of
the funeral, Union Camp Sons of Vet
erans assisting in the exercises. A large
concourse followed the marching column
to the cemetery keeping step to the
military music of the drum corps.
Arrived at the grave Commander Lew
is and Chaplain Turner read tbe ritual
of the order for the burial of the dead,
and our comrade was laid to rest under
the Hag he loved so well, and the musket
salute with which he had been so famil
iar in his lifetime.
He leaves his widow and his sons J.
C, John, Henry A., Fred. W., Jacob U.,
Edward G, and his daughters, Mrs,

As to the License School fund, tho
treasurer reports balance on hand at last
report $3264; to lie added, received from
Police Judge $10; less $2000 ordered
transferred by school board, leaving bal
ance on hand in this fund $1274.
The following bills were allowed and
warrants ordered drawn:

The bill of Henry Ragatz for $30.01
was referred to committee on claims; of
Oehlrich & Bro. for $2.55 to water com
missioner; of C. H. W. Dietrich for $2
for tnrning over poll books to county
clerk, was rejected. Mr. Dietrich waB
not present and so there was no conten
tion over tho bill. The law was read in
which there is an allowance of five cents
a mile for distance traveled, and a mo
tion made that a warrant for 2) cents
be drawn, but this was not seconded.
It was thought that the claim for ser
vices as judge of election was sufficient
to cover this special service.
The nine members of the boards of
registration were allowed $15 each for
their services. $10 was reserved of B.
Fuller's to apply to payment of occupa
tion tax; $5 of C. F. Gleason's for same;
$10 of S. S. McAllister's; $4.75 of Mr.
Righttnire's on water tax.
The bills of judges and clerks of elec
tion and police were allowed at $3.00, the
figures set by the Second and Third ward
forces the First placed theirs at $4.00.
Tbe three dollars to Henry Lubker was
applied on occupation tax; as also three
dollars to I. Glnck to be applied to his
delinquent occupation tax as a broker.
Gus. Falbanm's bill of $5.00 for help
ing city clerk election day was allowed.
John Huber's bill of $22.50 for use of
room for board of registration and dur
ing election was allowed, but the council
seemed to be disposed to consider it
rather a high price for the time used. It
was, however, the same as allowed last
