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! Elizabeth Williams. New York. 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, Geirt. 'Agent, 1504 Farnam-Stf, Omaha. W. S. Howell, Trav. Passenger and Freight Agt. Tho Slate I'niversity. 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.

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. tit J- Council.

Loup DIED. 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.
