The funeral of the late Ward McAllis ter was held Monday. Eighteen Italian anarchists who hare been engaged in smuggling anarchist literature into Italy, have been expelled from Switzerland. Frank Babclay of Beatrice has in vented a smoke-consumer that under test, practically consumes all the smoke and effects a saving of 13 per cent in fuel. The United States treasury is expect ed to furnish the golden eggs for ship ment to European countries really an investment in gold bonds, bearing inter est to be paid also in gold, for the bene fit of European capitalists. The Woonsocket (S. D.) Times says that Ed. Wishard of Artesian bales the Russian thistle in blocks of 80 lbs., and that people have been using these for heating purposes, one bale heating an ordinary building 12 to 15 hours. A BANKEB of Toronto named Bethune sat for a while with one leg carelessly thrown over the other, but when he attempted to rise could not do so, his legs refusing to separate. He was taken home and the physicians can give no ex planation of the phenomenon. It looks as though the democratic policy is to be a periodical issue of interest-bearing, gold bonds to pay the current expenses of the government. The people should arouBe themselves all over the country, and, in unmistakable language, tell the administration what they think of thiB playing into the hands of the speculators upon the currency of of the country. Ex-Qoeek Lixiuokalani has been ar rested on the charge of complicity with the insurgents in the recent rebellion. In addition, nil tho insurgent leaders have been taken into custody and are being tried by court martial. Three pleaded guilty to treason. Martial law is maintained. Shortly after the ex queen was arrested her house was searched and in it were stores of arms and dynamite bombs. Sunday's Inter Ocean has a pretty suggestive cartoon. It represents the "Slough of Depression." A safe, marked "Credit" is sinking almost out of sight Cleveland is mounted on his mule "De mocracy," with his face to the rear, trying to yank the Bafe out of the slough backwards, but an elephant, rep resenting the G. O. P. is called up and with the tails of the elephant and mule tied together, the elephant is pulling the combination out of the slough all right, and Graver is saying: "All I want is the support of one party and the assistance of the other, and I'll save the country. Didn't I always tell you I was a statesman? Glang! Whoop la!" The Review of Reviews for February contains a short account of the services rendered by John Ericsson to the Uni ted States government. Especially in teresting is that part of the article which refers to the building of the Monitor, after the plan had been rejected by a committee of authorities at Washington. The persistency of C. S. Bushnell, who believed in "Ericsson's plan, was at last successful, the contract entered into October 25, 1861, the boat launched Feb. 15, '62, her first trial trip Feb. 19. She left New York harbor March 6, '62, ar rived at Hampton roads on the morning of the 9th, and before sunset that day the famous battle of the Monitor and Merrimac was done. That day changed the naval warfare of the world. "The Progress of the World," in the Review of Reviews for February, com menting on the recent sudden change in tbe Presidency of the French Republic, suggests as a desirable improvement in the French system the separation of the legislative and executive departments of government. The editor of the Review, in the same department, discusses recent vents in Hawaii and Japan, the condi tion of Armenia, the troubles in New foundland, and many other topics of world-wide interest. In the field of Tglinh politics, such subjects as the revenue returns, the Iiondon municipal elections, and the fortunes of the Liberal party are treated, while. Continental affairs of the day receivedue considera tion. On the American side, the editor presents a timely summary of the pres ent condition of the national treasury and demands that some means to secure revenue be devised by Congress before a plan of currency reform is permanently adopted; the changes in the composition of the Senate are noted, and State and mmniciDal matters receive -attention; HI MIVIn . -- - . amorous portraits accompany ine crisp i editorial paragraphs of which "The Pro-1 Of ta WOrlfl V maoe up, jw It is now given out that the President, in case congress does not accede to the suggestions of his message, will issue a large amount of bonds any way and that for this he has the same authority as for the last two issues. In spite of differ ences that go to the very central princi ples of a government by the people, it does seem that all who are opposed to a single gold standard must get together and stay together until our finances are placed beyond the jobbing and unpat riotic practices of Wall street Money, proper money, the circulating life-blood of commerceand industry, designed for the general welfare, must not be allowed to become the mere instrument in the hands of designing and unscrupulous capitalists for the oppression of the gen eral public, and the continuing control of what ought to be our free institutions, by a system which is lowering the rela tive value of all property except gold. There is something radically wrong, and it should be the present business of every man who feels and thinks to help solve the problem and apply the reme dies. It strikes The Joubnal that the country wants no more bonds issued (thus increasing the public debt and the annual interest charge on the same), if there is any other possible way of get ting along. The country does not wish its officials to pay gold only when the obligation specifically states that it is payable in coin. The country wishes gold and silver to be placed on the same footing, viz, that of the constitution, and it wishes our servants in congress to understand that neither our financial nor our commercial policy is to be dictated by England or other European powers. Let them go on unchecked in the forma tion of business syndicates to control our commerce, and political syndicates to control the election of our national offi cers, and we shall soon be a republic only in name. Men must live before they can do anything else, and if it con sumes all their strength to merely main tain a precarious existence, they must necessarily go under in a contest thus unequally waged against a wily foe that has entrenched itself at the very fountain-head of industrial life so strongly that every movement makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker. Of course, selfishness, greed, a grasping, groveling ambition to lord it over men is at the bottom of all this effort to increase to such enormous proportions the interest-bearing indebtedness of the people of this country, to beep them always in a stew as to how they are to get money (construed always to mean gold), to meet interest obligations, say nothing of prin cipal. Bnt every consideration that touches the individual welfare of the masses, the perpetuity of free institu tions demands action, united, persistent, effective action, againBt the extreme sel fishness which would wreck all the acquirements of our past national life for the purpose of plunder, mere plunder. Our editorial friend, Col. Parks of the Telegram, and our other editorial and senatorial friend, Col. Sprecher of the Schuyler Quill, are not just now exercis ing toward each other that state of peace ful living which is so highly commended in scripture. The air is full of flying missiles, and, although we notice no seri ous wounds, as yet, inflicted by either of the combatants, we must acknowledge that we are fearful our Columbus colonel will come out second best in the encoun ter, especially when the question is one between popular democracy and Cleve land democracy between that kind where men claim the right and the free exercise of it, besides, to express their political sentiments in platforms nnd nominations without dictation from would-be party bosses, and that other kind of democracy now know best by the appellation Clevelandism, that is, a trampling upon all opposition, rough shod; a stamping out of any spontaneity in political life; a placing of the iron heel of one-man rule upon the neck of the party adherent who dares have an opinion of his own as to party policy. Among tbe lost pebbles cost by Colonel Sprecher is this which struck the Colum bus Colonel in the middle of the forehead: The spectacle of the cuckoo democrat who presides over the destinies of the Columbus Telegram, attacking certain populists and accusing them of being untrue to Bryan is the personification of "Satan rebuking sin." The Telegram editor holds no view in common with Bryan and has no use politically what ever for him, has refused to recognize him as a democrat and with other "rump" democrats, has been reading him out of the party. With such a standing and such a political reputation, it takes gall immaculate to accuse others of being traitors to the young congressman. There are quite a large number of democrats in Platte county, who will by no means follow the lead of the political enemies of Mr. Bryan, no matter how specious they may be in their profes sions of friendship for the Nebraska con gressman who would not willingly or servilely bow at Cleveland's command, and Colonel Parks as well as the other cuckoos will find this later along. As to the President's message, the Schuyler Herald (democractic) says: "However the remedy Cleveland recom mends is a bigger dose of the very thing that is largely responsible for the present trouble. Grover would borrow money on the nation's notes sell gold bonds for gold. Most of us are of the opinion that the way to keep gold is to stop pay ing it out Grover don't see it that way. Well, it is a hopeful sign to see that our self-sufficient president is worried. Let us hope that he will finally learn that the common people know something, that they are honest, and that the occult science of finance as it obtains in Wall street is unpatriotic and dishonest The worshippers of the golden calf may yet hang themselves in their own net, and tbe much abused silver will yet be a great factor in restoring the good health of our financial system." Thebe is some indication that the recent raid upon the gold reserve in the United States treasury had nearly accom plished the purpose for which this great est of all financial conspiracies was organizea in me nrst place years ago, and which has resulted in so much suff ering and disaster. The nation is now in the hands of New York and European capitalists, who will apply the thumb screws and dictate the terms upon which they will permit the nation to exist If their terms are complied with there will be an appearance of better times for awhile, but the inevitable end will be the slavish subjection of the country to the power that was able to obtain its first firm nsii nvn 4lA lAtinfw t1iaot !- 41 Mu w4 UVU VAO WVUUIO.J bUUUU UJC exigencies of the civil war. unless an effort is made at once to break the power "wi. ijmwiu iau. Cleveland' Sole AeblevesMat. The New York Sun is one of the staunchest democratic papers in all this country, but seems now to be trying to make amends for the part it took in securing the election of Cleveland as president. It is, however, nothing more than fair to say that the Sun has given the man who is now president some of the hardest blows politically that he ever received, and its opinion always makes interesting reading: In one year Mr. Cleveland's adminis tration has already increased the interest-bearing public debt by f 100,000,000, or more than 17 per cent; and it wants authority from congress to increase the debt by $500,000,000 more, which would more than double the public debt as the Cleveland administration found it In time of peace, with no extraordinary demands pressing upon the treasury, this self-proclaimed reformer of the national finances, elected to office to give the country a tariff for revenue, a reve nue from a tariff, has given to the coun try instead of that an additional burden of debt and promise of debt mounting in the aggregate to the figures of a great war's cost Bond sales for revenue! That is the policy of Grover Cleveland and his sole achievement Such is the reward of the mouther of promises and the shifty borrower of cash wherewith to cover the failure of per formance; the shameless breaker of pledges and the audacious maker of debt XebraakB'a Motto. In response to a request from a Boston historical publishing house Secretary of State Piper has furnished the following Bketch of the origin of Nebraska's motto. It will be of interest to many Journal readers: Nebraska was twice refused admission to the sisterhood of states by the veto of President Andrew Johnson upon the grounds, as he alleged, that the popula tion was not large enough to form a state government. When, for the second time, the president's veto was made known, a storm of dissatisfaction arose and the bill was passed over the veto by a large majority in the house of repre sentatives, but when a similar attempt was made in the senate one vote was lacking. Hon. Charles Sumner opposed the passage of the bill because, ob he alleged, it contained no provision for "equality before the law." He would, however, vote for the bill with the fol lowing provision added: Except upon the fundamental condition that within the state of Nebraska no denial of the electoral franchise, or any other right to any person by reason of race or color (except Indians not taxed) and upon the further fundamental condition that the legislature of said state by 6olemn pub lic act shall declare the assent of the state to said fundamental condition. In order to meet the requirements of Sena tor Sumner the territorial legislature was convened by special proclamation and the fundamental condition ratified and the result transmitted to congress, upon receipt of which the Benate passed the bill over the president's veto. It was this incident that caused the state to adopt for its motto, "Equality Before the Law," Nebraska was the first state to extend the elective franchise to the colored man. The Australian Ballot. A writer to the Columbus Journal suggests that the legislature amend the Australian ballot law prohibiting any member of the election board or any other person from entering a voting booth with a voter for the purpose of assisting to prepare the ballot Such a law would practically disfran chise all that cannot read and write, and would in effect be about the same as the oft proposed law denying the right of suffrage to all that can not read and write, and yet not interfere with any one's liberty to do as he pleases. To let a voter that cannot read nor write go and prepare his own ballot would seem fair to all political parties, for his ballot could not very well be a greater blunder than his mind is at sea on the subject of politics. But;I will now give a few facts and figures and let the reader draw his own conclusions as to how the ignorant voter votes. In my precinct there are about 120 voters; of these about 30 cannot read and are entirely ignorant on the subject of politics. I took particular pains at the last election to find out how much they knew and how they would vote. I asked several to what political party Majors belonged. Not one could answer. And all claimed that Holcomb was a demo crat. I then asked for what office these men were named, and not one knew. These men were all assisted by a mem ber of tbe board in preparing their bal lots, and, knowing the complexion of the board, I knew for a certainty that every one of these votes was a vote against the republican party. Now, if such a 6tate of affairs exists all over, it is reasonable to believe that one fourth the total votes are cast by per sons that are incompetent to intelligent ly make use of what it is every citizen's duty to know and respect, the right of suffrage. The suggestion occurs: why not let all fix their own ballot, and let each politi cal party run the chance of getting their share of the ignorant voters' support? With these facts before us and nearly two-thirds of all the votes at the last election being republican votes, we need not hesitate in claiming the republican party preeminent for intelligence in American politics. Citizen. For The Journal. Aboat Alfalfa. The subject of alfalfa growing is awakening more attention in agricul tural circles in the west than anything else at present. In view of this fact and to satisfy many inquiries we give you our experience in the southwestern part of the state. Alfalfa was sown here about thirteen or fourteen years ago, by a few farmers in an experimental way on the creek bottoma It made a success from the start. It was, however, not generally introduced until 1890, our first Eerious dry year. Alfalfa growers that year were the only ones that had full crop of hay. This clover made a good crop for them and carried their stock in fine shape. This at once brought alfalfa into prominent notice and the farmers that were able sowed the next spring and the one following quite liberally. The year 1891 again visited us with the most serious drouth that had come our way since the state was settled. Alfalfa made a full crop last year on all bottom lands, yielding three and four crops, some fields producing as high as six tons per acre. Its value as a forage crop for all kinds 1 of stock has made it a general favorite with all our farmers and stock feeders It has never failed here, since its intro duction, the dry years producing the best seed. There is no question but alfalfa is the coming crop for Nebraska. It has been tested and has stood every test, and bo far, according to chemical analysis at the various government sta tions, it is superior to either ordinary clover or timothy. Alfalfa is also a first-class honey plant, making the finest honey, white and of delicious flavor. We have had a few' small colonies of bees, and they have done exceedingly well, each colony making a good surplus beside enough for themselves. This clover, too, will largely solve the question of cheap pork, being equally good, green or dry. In fact our alfalfa growers feed their hogs during the win ter months, hay as regularly as any of their other stock. To be thoroughly convinced, it must be tried, and wherever it has been, it has been adopted. There is no doubt but the Platte valley will grow alfalfa from the Colorado line to the Missouri. It should be sown in April 'in the latitude of Columbus, and would probably grow well sown broadcast, about 25 pounds per acre. If the spring is dry, the press drill is safest method. We urge the farmers everywhere in the state and especially along the Platte valley to sow at least in an experimental way a few acres this spring. It will double the value of land wherever it will grow and will never fail you in time of need;- For those desiring more complete in formation than can be given in a news-' paper article, it will be furnished by enclosing a stamp to ( Olmsted & Olmsted. Beaver City, Nebr. General Lord Wolselet makes a most important contribution to the lit erature of the China-Japan war. In an article for the February Cosmopolitan, he discusses the situation and does not mince matters in saying what China must do in this emergency. Two other noted foreign authors contribute interesting articles to this number. Rosita Mauri, the famous Parisian danseus, gives the history of the ballet, and Emile Ollivier tells the story of the fall of Louis Phil ippe. From every part of the world, drawings and photographs have been obtained of the instruments used to torture poor humanity, and appear as illustrations for a clever article, by Julian Hawthorne, entitled, "Salvation via the Rack." Mrs. Reginald de Eoven, Anatole France, W. Clark Russell, Albion W. Tourgee, and William Dean Howells are among the story tellers for the Feb ruary number of The Cosmopolitan. FKUIT RIPENS LATE. A TARIFF DISCUSSION V1TH A COL LEGE PROFESSOR. Bis Student Meets With Hard Times sad Tells tbe Teacher the Cause He Pities the Poor Fellows In Europe Americana to Shift For Themselves The Golden Bale. I recently spent a few days at the college that I claim as my alma mater and met the professor of political ecou omy under whom I had formerly studied. "What are you doing?" he asked in the course of our conversation. "Oh, I haven't been doing anything regularly since June, " I said. "I have just taken a permanent position at book keeping, though. I begin next week." "Ah," he said doubtfully, "I hope it is satisfactory, and what you wanted!" "No. it isn't, "I replied, "bnt I have to take whatever I can get in these tar iff reform times. " I had occasionally talked tariff with the professor before, and I liked to stir him up a little. ' 'There you go again, ' ' he said. ' 'You always were talking about the tariff. The tariff has nothing to do with the hard times unless they are the fruits of the McKinloy bill." "Fruits that ripened a little late, then, " I returned. "But you do admit, then, that it is hard times now?" "Certainly, " he said. "I know that we are having hard times, but not half as hard as you protectionists would like to make out The tariff had nothing to do with these hard times." "What was the cause of it, then?" I asked. "The unsound Sherman silver law started it, and then men got frightened, lost confidence and took their money out of circulation. Business rests on confidence, and when confidence goes business stops, " replied the professor, with a glibness that showed ho had grown accustomed to thus answering tbe troublesome questions of his pupils. In fact, I had heard this answer from his lips before. "I agree that there was loss of confi dence, " I replied, "but it was a loss of confidence whioh had reason behind it We were prosperous enough up to No vember, 1892, when the Democrats car ried the country, weren't we?" "There is a definite point of time from which we can reckon the panic," said the professor, "and a definite rea son for the loss of confidence. Secretary Carlisle precipitated the panic by his proposition to redeem treasury notes with silver." "'Precipitated it' yes," I said, "but he did not cause it We were oa the verge of a panic before Secretary Carlisle took a hand in the affair. We always have one, you know, after the passage of a Democratic tariff. " "You don't understand true econom ic principles, " said the professor. "Bnt I understand facts," I retorted. "Come, now, professor," I went od, "don't you believe if we buy in Europe goods that we have been buying at home, if we give to foreign, workmen the work we have been giving to our own workmen, that our workmen are going to suffer?" "You are holding up now the great bugbear of you protectionists, " said the professor. "You are so afraid that the foreign workmen may profit a littla You are so afraid they may pick up the crumbs that fall from our table. " "Not at all," I said. "I am afraid that you free traders will give them ev erything and not.leave evsn the crumbs 4Vrt ns Jtaain istrvnai w viu vnu tt warns tapis "Why can't jrou see a little beyond your own country and your own selfish interests?" went on the professor, disre garding my remark. "I hope I am broad enough to be willing to help our broth ers across the sea a little. " "Even if you do hurt our brothers on this side of the sea, " I suggested. "It's an old saying that charity begins at home, and I guess the principle is about the same in this case. " ."I believe in the brotherhood of man," oontinued the professor, "and the whole world is our home. We ought to care as much for the workmen in Europe as for the workmen in Amer ica. A protective tariff may be a good fir United States, bnt ws.J must look beyond this country. " "I used to wonder," I continued, "why the free trade party did not get yon free trade professors of political economy to stump for them in the cam paigns. They often boast about you. But I see now. You wouldn't win many votes for tariff reform by telling our workingmen that though tariff reform was bad for them, it was good for their foreign 'brothers.' I don't believe they would be willing to vote the bread out of the months of their wives and chil dren for the sake of these brothers across the sea." "Just think of the poor fellows in Europe 1" said the professor. "They work for a few cents a day and live like dogs." "It would be a pity, "I replied, "to make our American workmen live like dogs, too, by forcing them to work for the same wages, and that is what free trade would mean. Under protection we have grown to be the most pros perous nation in the world. Its people are better fed, better clothed, better edu cated than any other people in the world. Our workmen receive the high est wages." "Start where yon will, " said the pro fessor, "you always come back to the same thing. It is always 'our country, our workmen' always 'we' and our.'" "Well," I said, "if I only could get to care more about the scum of Europe than for our own independent Amer ican workmen, I might make a good Democrat" "Yon Republicans soem never to have read the golden rule," said the profess or, turning away. "Oh, yes, we have," I called after him. ' ' We made the reciprocity clause. ' ' L. Horses S3 T I cannot help but state something I've never seen in my life nor heard of before. Mr. Henry Hoberecht, clerk of our woolen mills and a neighbor of mine, showed me a team of horses that he had bought for $3. The horses are not to be classed among the worst nor oldest and it cannot be stated are of the finest, but they are horses that sold 18 to 20 months ago at $60 to $75 each. Mr. Jacob Eder, engineer of the flour ing mills in which I work, told me that a friend of his, who had been down through the southwest, said that he saw hundreds of horses running about in Arizona and New Mexico, with signs on them reading, "Take me up and feed me this winter, and you may have ma" Hay is selling in this state at $8 per ton. This deserves consideration. Charles E. Weber, California, Ma It Was the Only Issue. The voters of the United States had but one thought in view, and that was to express at the polls their belief and their strengthened faith in the princi ples of protection to American indus tries. They had tasted of the results of the "change" for which they were de ceived into voting in 1892, and they had already had a surfeit They long since realized what free trade, disguised as "tariff reform, " meant, and they await ed with impatience the opportunity to go to the polls. The enormous major ities cannot be attributed to local causes. The issue in every state was made upon the tariff question, and the verdict of the people is that they are not only opposed to any further tariff revision, bnt that they are opposed to the Gorman bill.
