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

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

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

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

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.

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 (

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. ' '

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

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

HEMP SEED TO LOM !
I want to contract with farmers within
hanling distance of Colnmbus to grow
abont a thousand acres of hemp. Will
famish seed and take pay ont of crop
grown. Have two kinds of seed; small
est variety will prodnco ten to fifteen
bushels of seed and lJLf to 1J tons straw
per acre; other more straw and less seed.
Hemp stands dronth better tlian any
crop except alfalfa. Improves land
almost as much as clover and can be
grown twenty years in succession on
same land. On good land plowed deep
it made fair crop in 1894. For further
information apply at my office at mill
after 2 p. m. M. Jerome.
