Senator Allison's Opportunity.
SenatorAlljson believes the best men
of both parties! should unite on some
plan of relief for the government finan
ces at once. He takes the ground that
he owes his highest (allegiance to his
country. Senator Allison is a first-class
republican. Chicago Tribune.
Why can't the men; of all parties in
congress unite on a plan of relief through
the establishment of postal savings
banks? There are now about three bil
lions deposited in savings banks and
state institutions for savings. Why can't
these deposits be placed at the disposal
of the government, thuB giving the com
mon people, and especially the wage
workers, an opportunity to become cred
itors of the nation instead of leaving the
entire debt in the hands of foreign and
American capitalists? Suppose that
only one-third of the savings banks de
posits were placed in the postal banks.
That would give the government an
opportunity to accumulate gold for its
reserve and to decrease the drain of gold
for interest on bonds and redemption of
greenbacks. Postal savings certificates
bearing 3 per cent interest for one-year
time deposits, 2J 'or fiJJf months depos
its and 2 per cent for call deposits would
circulate everywhere the same as money.
The holders of these certificates would
be willing to accept paper, silver or gold
for interest and principal. The bond
holder wants gold and gold only. The
main object of the 100,000,000 gold
reserve in the treasury is to redeem the
greenbacks, and the demand for the
destruction of the greenbacks is inspired
by fear that the treasury will not be able
to redeem them in gold. This danger
can be avoided by using the greenbacks
as a reserve for the postal savings de
posits. This plan of relief has worked very
satisfactorily in England and France,
where the greater part of the public
debt is carried by the middle class and
the wage worker. Why will it not work
in the United States? Why not give it
a trial anyhow? Here is a chance for
Senator Allison to popularize himself
and save the country from financial dis
aster. Omaha Bee.
The people are the sovereigns, and if
their hired men will provide the oppor
tunity to show their confidence in right
principles of finance and in the stability
of republican institutions, they will find
a response that will be surprising. Give
the many thousands who work for their
living, and who have a few dollars extra,
occasionally, that they would like to in
vest in a perfectly safe manner, some
such plan as that outlined, and they
would certainly take advantage of it.
The state senate has caused a good
deal of uncomplimentary comment by
putting more employes on the pay roll
than the law allows. The republican
legislature of 1889 amended the law and
limited the number of employes to sixty
six. The present senate got seventy
three on the pay roll and had several
more on the way when a halt was called.
Auditor Moore served notice that he
would not sign vouchers for more than
the number allowed by law, and the sen
ate then began to strike useless employ
ees from the roll. Both populist senates
overrode the law in this matter, but that
should not serve as a precedent for a
republican- senate. The practice of re
warding political friends in this way has
grown until it is an outrage and we are
glad to see a stop put to it. Eugene
Moore and all others who have insisted
that the law should be complied with are
right, and should have the moral support
of every law abiding citizen of the state.
The above, from the Osceola Record,
is the right kind of talk at all times, but
especially so these days, and we are glad
to note that Senator Sprecher of this
district has lined up alongside Auditor
Moore. No matter if other senates have
violated the law such violation should
be all the greater incentive to present
duty. Nebraska is perfectly willing to
pay for all she receives, but has no money
to spare illegally, or for work not needed
let there be more attention given
against plundering all around, and less
to personal pulling for place, and our
counties, with the entire state, will be
better off.
The two issues of bonds of $50,000,000
each under the democratic administra
tion adds $5,000,000 a year to the inter
est we have to pay. Nice specimen.
Our national politics, like county poli
tics, is costing too much money.
John F. Adams of Aledo, HI., has re
cently secured a patent on n straw baler
which promises to be quite an innovation

the new machine will bale the straw as
fast as it comes from the thresher.
We are glad to be able to Bay that
Senator Voorhees the other day spoke
vigorously for liberality to pensioners.
He did not share the idea that pension
ers should be suspects. He believed
pensions are vested rights, and should
be protected as the title to real estate.
Hepburn on the (ireenhacks.
"The republican who votes for the re
tirement of the greenbacks may as well
retire from public life," says Congress
man Hepburn of Iowa. "The green
backs were all right during the war. I
used to love to see them on pay day, and
many a soldier looked lovingly upon
them when the paymaster came around.
They were sent homo to our wives, and
they purchased food and clothing for the
children. They always looked well to
me, and they have always looked well to
our people until the recent democratic
cry was raised concerning an alleged
necessity for changing our financial sys
tem. The greenbacks are all right. Our
financial system is all right. The demo
cratic party is all wrong. I will not per
mit myself to fall into their traps."
"How would you relieve the treasury?"
"Many ways," responded the Iowan.
"In the first place, if I were secretary of
the treasury I would not pay out gold to
the money sharks. If any honest man
came there and wanted $100 or $."00, or
$1,000 in gold, I would redeem his paper
with gold. But when any man came
with a demand for the redemption of
$500,000 or $1,000,000 or more, I would
tell him that he was a public enemy, and
I would pay him, according to the law,
'in coin.' I would give him silver and
keep the gold. This administration is
constantly depleting the treasury of its
gold, and there is no necessity for it.
The Cleveland administration appears to
be in league with Wall street, or else
this drainage of gold from the treasury
would not be allowed."
The house committee on election of
president and representatives in congress
ordered a favorable report to be made on
the resolution introduced by Congress
man Bryan providing that after January
1, 1898, no person once elected to the
presidency shall be eligible to that office
to succeed himself.
It is thought that the government will
soon release the old Apache chief, Gero
nimo, who, with about 300 of his follow

The old chief cost this government more
perhaps than any other one man, not
excepting Jeff. Davis, and he had better
stay where he is.
The Bev. William Bayard Hale, whose
articles in The Fornm on the religious

All reports from England indicate
that the money kings of that island
would like to keep the United States on
their financial string, just as they have
been doing, we issuing our bonds, bor
rowing large sums, and placing our
loans in England and sending them our
gold to keep up interest payments, thus
increasing our national debt, at the same
time that we are weakening our ability
to pay, by what seems now to be the
settled and constant policy of the
present administration catering to
English interests on financial and com
mercial questions, in short a tvinc to
the single gold-standard in finance, and
free trade, instead of protection, for our
commerce. President Cleveland is as
unpatriotic aB was President Buchanan
when he played into the hands of the
men who were plotting treason all
around him. In a different way, to be
sure, but all the more effectually be
cause not so apparent to every one.
By a tariff policy that is putting us in
debt at the rate of $100,000,000 a year at
the least, and a financial policy, dictated
by England, that discredits one of our
very greatest productions, viz silver,
(time out of mind, along with gold, re
cognized as a medium of exchange since
men began to be civilized), thus de
creasing ability to pay debts, and in
creasing the burdens of business, our
slide downward is at a fearful pace.
Restore the landmarks of our fathers all
around, and let us get rid, just as fast as
we come to them, of all officials, high or
low, who are tied to free trade or to op
position to silver as one of the two equal
standards of our financial system.
J. B. ERioNof the Nebraska Bureau of
Labor, in his report to the legislature,
describes the dams that would be profita
ble to build across ravines, at tho head
of gulches, etc., for catching and holding
the extra waterfall, and thus enabling to
irrigate. The Allerton (a large ranch
near Cedar Rapids), will have eight such
reservoirs ready for use, says the Com
mercial, as 6oon as the dams now being
constructed, are completed. "A force of
about fifty men have been at work on
them all winter. Some of the dams are
fifty feet high and nearly as broad on
top. They are built generally on sec
tion lines, and are a great improvement
to the roads crossing the gulches. Some
of the reservoirs will back water for
nearly a mile. Besides their value for
watering stock and for irrigation, the
larger ones will make splendid pleasure
resorts for fishing, hunting, boating and
bathing. A peculiar thing about stand
ing water in Nebraska is that it never
becomes stagnant. One of these reser
voirs was in use last season, furnishing
excellent water for stock and during the
dryest time had water enough in it to
swim a steer. We have no doubt but
that in five years this country will be
dotted all over with these valuable and
picturesque improvements."
Seward county is finding artesian
water, it seems, as Platte county has
done. We clip the following from the
Reporter: "The editor made a visit to
Beaver Crossing last week, and while
there took occasion to examine some of
the llowing wells. These wells are a
great curiosity, and must be a very great
advantage to the town and vicinity. The
water gushes forth from the earth in a
stream as large as the well, and rises to
a height varying from three'to ten feet
above the ground. It has considerable
force, and tlte supply seoms to be inex
haustible. The flowing wells can only
be obtained on the river bottom, and tho
water rises to a uniform height, the
difference in the height, above ground,
of tho rise being according to the eleva
tion of the land. The water can be made
available for power for running machi
nery, and it makes the possibilities of
irrigation very great. The entire area
wherein the flowing wells are found can
be easily irrigated, and made practically
independent of rainfall. The result
ought to be a wonderful growth of every
thing planted in the valley. Beaver
Crossing and vicinity will no doubt ben
efit very greatly from the flowing wells."
The O'Neill Frontier says that the
circumstances of finding the body of the
murdered Scott seemed almost provi
dential the channel of the river changed
the very night that he was thrown in
and left him in backwater, otherwise he
probably would have floated to the Mis
souri. Judging from the editorials of
the Frontier, tho state of feeling be
tween opposing parties in Holt county
is very bitter, and it would not be at all
surprising if there should be more
bloodshed by mob violence, before tho
spirit of discord and wrath is quieted.
Violence is apt to beget violence in re
turn, and the killing of Scott 6cems as
an incident only in the career of an or
ganized society of law-breakers or
ganized ostensibly for the enforcement
of law.
The President on Monday sent to
both houses of congress a message on
the financial question. He says the real
trouble is a widespread and increasing
lack of confidence in the continuing
ability or disposition of the government
to pay its obligation in gold. The only
way for the government to obtain gold is
by the issue and sale of bonds, and so
long as there are currency notes of the
government in circulation, for which the
gold can be demanded and is demanded,
the same notes may do duty many, times
in drawing gold from the treasury. He
gives the large sums that have been
drawn from the treasury and adds: they
have been expended without any can
cellation of government obligations or
in any permanent way benefiting our
people or improving our pecuniary situa
tion. He insists on a large gold reserve
as essential. His opinion is that the
secretary of the treasury should be
authorized to issue bonds of the govern
ment for the purpose of procuring and
maintaining a sufficient gold reserve and
the redemption and cancellation of
United States lurf.il tender and treasury
notes issued for the purchase of silver
under the law of July 14, 1890; the prin
cipal and interest on these bonds should
be payable on their face in gold. He
closes his message with an assurance of
his anxiety to co-operate with the present
congress in iny reasonable measure ot
relief, and expresses a determination to
leave nothing undone which furnishes a
hope for improving the situation or.
checking a suspicion of our disioclina-
tion or desirability to meet, with strict
est honor, every national obligation.
It would seem that in a state like Ne
braska, where the death rate is so low
comparatively, mutual life insurance
companies would find a favorable field of
operations. The fact is that many thous
ands of dollars are sent out of the state
annually to keep up life insurance com
panies in other states, tho main items of
expense being the large salaries paid to
the managing officials. Among the bills
introduced in tho legislature the present
session, there is one for the authorization,
of mutual life insurance companies. We
have not seen a copy of it, but if it is
anything like it ought to be, members
should lop off any objectionable features,
and secure its passage, so that Nebraska
may be enabled to keep her money at
home and save expense to those who
need every dollar they can earn.
Reppblicanism is at a premium in
France. The resignation of Casimir
Perier as president, it was feared, would
be a sad blow to the republic, bnt it did
not so prove. Republicanism in France
is stronger today than after the assassi
nation of Carnot. From all accounts of
the new president, his administration
promises to be representative of the peo
ple in a sense that Perier's was not. He
who does not know the wish of the peo
ple, or, if knowing it, does not endeavor
to fulfill it, has no business to hold office
of any kind in a republican form of
government.
The Sioux City Journal, the Omaha
Bee and other Missouri river dailies are
right in their opposition to the fast mail
trains tarrying several hours at Chicago
simply to enable the Chicago dailies to
get out their issues and place them on
the trains. Let there be no nncalled-frfr
delay of these trains. If it is necessary
to have fast mail trains run from New
York to Chicago, it is also necessary
they be run from New York to Omaha,
to Denver, to San Francisco, and no

the consumer to a price that leaves a
very narrow margin of profit to our pro

down of the foreign factories.
The reduction on tin plato under the
Gorman tariff was made, as is well
known, at the instance and for the ben
efit of the tin plate manufacturers in
Wales and for the English transatlantic
transportation companies. Tho existing
rate of duty is not so low as these for
eign friends of the present free trade
administration had anticipated and does
not give them such absolute control of
the American tin plato market as they
had hoped for.
It would appear, therefore, that the
American transcontinental railroad
companies have been called upon to
contribute their mite in support of this
element of foreign trade by giving to
foreign tin plate a freight rate that dis
criminates against American made tin
plate in reaching the consuming mar
ket 'Adding this concession by the rail
roads to the concession made by the
Gorman tariff bill, the Welsh manufac
turers secure double advantage over the
American tin plate makers, an advan
tage that may secure for them absolute
control of our tin plate trade.
It is not'btated in the report of the
Association of Tin Plate Manufacturers
what railroads quote this particularly
low rate of freight on the foreign tin
plate, while charging a higher freight
rate on the American article. This is a
point that we should like to know. That
it is done, however, does not surprise us
so very much when we recollect that
large blocks of stock in certain Amer
ican railroad companies are held and
controlled by English capitalists, which,
therefore, would naturally seek to serve
English manufacturing interests. This
is a subject of much deeper significance
than appears at first sight, and one that
will bear further investigation.

Reaped he tares and sad defeat.
Bland the honest, Bland the bold,
Cored for neither fame nor gold
Only silver caught bis eye
In the happy days gone by.
Rest ye, comrades, sleep amain;
We shall greet ye ne'er again.
"Men and brethren, leave off kissing
Those dead faces, hunt the missing!"
Look for Cummings, Wilson, Hatch,
Lasso Bryan, try to catch
Some brief note from that sweet singer,
Crisp's beloved, Chairman Springer.
Where, oh, whero is Sockless Jerry,
Tracey, Stevens, Pence and Heard 1?
Sound the tocsin, warriors, hurry,
Bring us back one hopeful word!
Missing, missing, one and all!
Dead or lost beyond recall.
By old Grover's best havana,
By Pap Thurman's red bandanna.
Though we weep and wail and whoop,
Brethren, we are in tho soup!

FOREIGN COAL FOR WARSHIPS.
Although American Coal Is Satisfactorily
Used oa Merchantmen.
British coal, mined by Chinese labor,
has been purchased for the use of Amer
ican warships on the Pacific coast, in
stead of American coal, and since the
exposure an apology has emanated from
Washington where "tho naval engineers
believe that they have found a suitable
coal for the marine furnaces of steamers
in 4he Pacific." They have certainly

Cixcinxati, Oct. "20.
Manufacturers' Association of Cincinnati and
Hamilton County, Mr. W. T. Perkins, Presi
dent, Cincinnati:
Dear Sir Your favor of the 25th, is at hand
noticing an articlo published in the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette in regard to a meeting of
the manufacturers of tho United States who
export their goods and are looking for that
trade. The plan is to organize the manufac
turers of tho United States into a compact
body, so that thero will be some organization.
The interest of tho manufacturers is the ad
vancement of their trade with all the nations of
the earth, and wo expect to accomplish tho fol
lowing: First. The renewal of the reciprocity trea
ties between tho United States and all foreign
countries, which treaties were rescinded by
the recent Wilson, or Gorman, tariff bill.
Second. To hold world's fairs, or United
States expositions, in the capital of each South
American country, the first exposition to be
held in tho City of Mexico not later than 1S97.
Third. To devkc ways and means to better
and facilitate trade with onr South American
cousins. These, of course, aro only some of
tho points to be taken up. Your Manufactur
ers association being an organized local body
and right in lino for handling this business,
and being a member of your organization. I
thought best to submit the matter to you and
suggest that your organization call a special
meeting of tho manufacturers, so as tt start
tht enterprise.
Part of this plan viz, the holding of a Mexi
can exposition under the patronage of Presi
dent Diaz originated with Dixie of Atlanta,
and a committee of manufacturers of Cincin
nati, who decided that, as Cincinnati is very
eei'tral and easily gotten to from north, south,
east and west, the convention bo held there.
Awaiting your further pleasure, I remain,
yours truly, Thomas P. Egan,
President J. A. Fay & Egan Company, Cincin
nati. A meeting has been called for early
in January, particulars of which may
bo learned from Hon. W. T. Perkins of
Cincinnati.

LECAL NOTICE.
The ownera "of steamers in the Pa-
cifio" have and this may be nows "to
the naval engineers" for a great num
ber of years been using Franklin and
Fairhaven coal, mined in Washington,
with every degree of satisfaction and
inccess. The steamship owners were pa
triotic enough to be satisfied with Amer
ican coal, mined by American miners in
American mines. They had no com
plaints to mako "that it burned out the
furnaces and caused dense black smoko.
This was left for "the naval engineers"
to do. We aro sorry for the British coal
mine owners and for their "Chinese la
borers;" bnt, thongb long delayed, this
symptom of reform in the United States
naval department will be welcomed by
Americans who bave American inter
ests at heart.
Jennie Burrows, defendant, will take notice
that on tho 22d day of January, 1S93, James Bnr
rowe, plaintitr herein, filed his petition in the
district court of Platte count-, Nebraska,
against Rfcid defendant, tho object and prayer of
which is to obtain a decree of divorce from said
defendant upon the grotmrl thnt saM ikffertant
has wilfully deserted and abandoned said plain
tiff for more than two years without any jnst
cause or excuse.
You are required to answer said petition on or
