A mam named Early, on a jury in the
district court at Omaha Wednesday, be
came violently insane and insisted that
all parties to the suit should be sent to
the penitentiary. The case was that of
Chris Bullenheitner against the Omaha
Brewing association for $15,000 damages
for injuries alleged to have been receiv
ed by falling through a hole in the
cellar in the old brewery of the company.
It seemB that the juryman had formerly
kept a saloon in Elkhorn, and had lately
been drinking very heavily. He had
never before shown signs of insanity.

The general public as the Quill means
it consists of populists but the rank and
file of republicans have no cause to con
aider McKinley as a " straddlebug,"
when they read what he said in his joint
debate with Governor Campbell:
"I voted for the restoration of the sil
ver dollar. When I did it, we had but
eight million of siver dollars in circula
tion. When I did it, silver was more
valuable than today. We have four
hundred and Ave million of silver dol
lars today, and that is as much as we
can maintain at par with gold, with the
price of silver that prevails throughout
the world. I am opposed to free un
limited coinage, because it means that
we will be put upon a silver basis and
do business with silver alone, instead of
with gold, silver and paper money, with
which we do the business of this coun
try today, every one of them as good as
gold." Schuyler Sun.
Wednesday among the decisions
handed down by the supreme court was
one in the case of Phelps against Piper,
which has been pending since the state
conventions last fall. Phelps of Schuy
ler, free silver democratic candidate for
supreme judge, asked for a writ of man
damus to compel Secretary of State
Piper to place his name on the ticket as
regular democratic nominee. The writ
is denied. The syllabus written by
Commissioner Bagan, says:
It is not the province of the secretary
of state to determine which of two rival
state conventions of the same party is
entitled to recognition as the regular
convention. -,
2. Where two factions of a political
party nominate candidates and certify
such nomination to the secretary of
state in due form of law, the latter will
not inquire into the regularity of the
convention held by either faction, but
will certify to the several county clerks
the names of the candidates nominated
by each, such practice being in harmony
with the rule which requires courts, in
case of doubt, to adopt that construc
tion which affords the citizen the
greater liberty in casting his ballot.

We would suggest this list of names
to our Nebraska democratic brethren,
from which to select the ones most
pleasing: Administration anti-administration;
gold silver; regular dissen
ter; single standard double standard.
Our sympathy is with the anti-administration
wing; they deserve to succeed,
as against the administration of Grover
Cleveland, if nothing more. But it is
always best to be definite about names.
UNANIMOUS FOR FREE SILVER.
Oaa Fervadlaa; Idea at the Arlteaa Dsass
cratle CeaTeuUoa.
Phoenix, June 9. The Democratic
territorial convention which assembled
here yesterday had one pervading idea
and that was free silver. - W. A. Rows
of Yavapai, for 30 years a silver miner
in Arizona, was elected chairman. His
speech expressed dissatisfaction with
the policy of the national Democratic
administration and called upon the con
vention to express its principles with
out hesitation. The money plank
adopted is as follows:
We favor the Immediate restoration of
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at tho present legal ratio of 16
to 1 as such coinage existed prior to 1873
without waiting for the aid or consent of
any other nation; such gold and silver to
be a full legal tender for all debts, public
and private. W e are opposed to the re
tirement of the greenbacks and demand
that the secretary of the treasury, instead
of issuing interest bearing bonds for tha
purchase of gold, shall recognize silver as
the money of redemption and exercise the
right to redeem greenbacks, treasury
notes and all other coin obligations in
silver where silver is more convenient.
The delegates to the national conven
tion were instructed to vote as a unit
and to vote only for a free coinage can
didate for the nomination of president
and vice president The platform also
demands the immediate admission of
Arizona to statehood. A resolution
pledging the Chicago delegates to Bland
was voted down, as instructions were
not deemed advisable. The following
were elected delegates to the national
convention: J. B. Alexander, L F.
Wilson, W. H. Bams. Hugh Campbell,
Wiley H. Jones and W. H. Burbage.

The old line insurance companies of
this state are making a desperate at
tempt to undermine the mutual com
panies that have built themselves up, it
is true, at the expense of the old line
companies. Because, forsooth, the mu
tual insurance companies of Nebraska
have shaped their business upon a live-and-let-live
basis in place of following in
the footsteps of the old line companies
in trying to squeeze blood out of a tur
nip, they must now be frozen out sf
existence. The people should be
awakening to their own interests in this
matter. It can scarcely be out of mind
as yet what a desperate attempt was
Biade to overthrow the valued policy
law daring the last legislature. This
fight is to be made again in the next
legislature, when these things are to be
. fought to the bitter end. In times of
peace it is said to be wise to prepare for
war. Let the people awaken to their
own interests and pledge their represen
tatives to act accordingly. Now is a
good time to find out how men stand on
this question who aspire to legislative
honors. Nebraska Farmer.

Mr. Pettigrew, republican, of South
Dakota, in expressing the belief that the
time had come for the constitutional
limiting of the veto power, made this
attack on the president Wednesday.
"The present occupant of the White
boase," said Mr. Pettigrew, "is not con
test with the violation of the constitu
tion by the exercise of veto power alone,
but with an utter disregard of his sacred
oath of office, as well as of the constitu
tion, he overrides the laws, influences
congressmen with patronage, enriches
bis favorites at the public expense in
fact, permits no restraint but his impe
rial will. He has ret used to enforce the
laws of congress so often that the list of
violation is next only to the list of ve-
. teas. He has sold bonds at private sale
to kia favorites and former associates
spos tan and at a price many millions
of dollars below the market price of the
beads on the day of such private sale.
Ibbw of those facts it was time for
coacteno to give some attention to these
sssrpations. If this government is to

Dynamiters Terrorizing- Spaniards.
Barcelona, June 9. The person whi.
threw the bomb into the crowd before
the church of Santa Maria del Mar yes
terday has not yet been apprehended.
Tne impression is general that anar
chists did the work, as the result of a
widespread anarchistic plot. The police
are working on this theory and have ar
rested 32 men known to entertain an
archistic sympathies. In connectioi
with these arrests they have seized a
number of documents which furnish
some clue to the plot of which the bomb
throwing was a manifestation. These
documents indicate that the center of
the terrorist agitation is directed with
the purpose cf precipitating a numbet
of anarchistic demonstrations, accom
panied by acts of violence at different
points simultaneously, or follow closely
upon each other, so as to create a reign
of terror in the different European governments.

Dover, June 9. In the race for all
yachts above 40 rating in the regatta of
the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht clut
yesterday Britannia, Ailsa, Meteor and
Satanita started in the order named at
11 SO, with a light southwest wind.
Meteor allowed Britannia 2 Jr. minutes.
The Saint.Penitent and Niagara started
at noon in the order given in the race
for the 20 raters under the auspices of
the same club. Owing to the light
wind prevailing both races were stopped
at the end of the first round. Meteor
won easily in her class and Niagara
easily headed the procession of the 20
raters. The race was decidedly disap
pointing. Meteor had a trial yesterday
on all points of sailing and showed
marked superiority on each. In a true
club topsail breeze and a fair course,
Emperor William's new yacht is per
haps fully 0 minutes better than

St. Louis, June 9. What shall be
done with the colored delegates sad al
ternates to ths national RepaMicaa con
vention? This is the question which is
puzzling the members of the national
committee who have arrived in the city
and the Badness Men's Lesgae which
secured the convention to St. Louis aa
well. Every hotel and boarding house
aad cafe came out flatfooted yesterday
and declared it would entertain no
negro as a guest or customer. Money is
no object. Threats of prosecution have
no effect and from the present ontlook
it would seem that unless tents are se
cured the black men will have to go
hungry and unhoused.
"I sin thoroughly dtegurted and dis
couraged, "said National Committeeman
Long of Florida in speaking of the mat
ter. "I have been looking all day long
for a hotel, boarding hoase or cafe that
would admit the negroes, but it has
been a fruitless search. I even went so
far as to try to charter a steamboat, but
when the owners learned for what pur
pose I wanted it they found an excuse
for refusing me the use of the vessel. It
is the only time in the history of the
Republican party whore such an ea
lauTassing predicament has arisen."-
When asked what the national com
mittee would do, Mr. Long replied: "I
have consulted the members who are
here and we have decided to offer a
resolution as soon as the committee
meets, condemning thehotelkeepersand
for setting aside of a f uud for renting a
hall in which cots shall be( placed for
the accommodation of the negroes who
may come to the convention. We will
also require the employment of a corps
of cooks to supply them food."
The boom for General Allison of Iowa
as the candidate for the coming Repub
lican convention will be opened in force

assume direct charge of the movement.

Pittsburg, June 9- The sengerfeet

Music hall when President Cleveland
at Washington- pressed the button
which illuminated the electric lyre. At
8:13 when the illumination took,place
the hall was filled to its capacity,, fully
8,000 people being present. The light-'
ing of the lyre was the signal of the
most enthusiastic applause, after which
the grand symphony orchestra under
Director Heinrich Zoellner performed
the Kaiser march by gWasner. Then
followed the program as announced,
which was carried out to the letter.

tective; that of Dietsch because he sent
for Walling and told him "it might be
well" to make a clean breast of it.
After hearing arguments and citations
of precedents, chiefly by the defense,
the court ruled this testimony out and
instructed the jury to disregard it. Tes
timony to similar admissions by Walling grTTLElS GET
on different occasions made to Mayor BiX1J'0
Caldwell and Sheriff Plummer was held
by the court as competent. This testi
mony was powerfully corroborated bv
Walling himself by admissions he made
when under cross examination on the
witness stand yesterday afternoon. The
whole afternoon Alonzo M. Walling
was on the witness stand. His mother,
two brothers and a si6terin-law sat
near him. More than 200 women were
among the crowd of spectators outside
the bar. It was manifest from the
drift of the direct examination that the
purpose of the defeuse was to throw the.
whole guilt of the murder on Scott
Jackson, and, if possible, establish an
alibi for Walling himself. He said both
in direct and cross examination that
Scott Jackson first mentioned Pear'
Bryan to him early in Jnnuary. "Jack
son, a little later, s.i: ho would bring
the girl here, give her tuuTe quick poison
and kill her in some hotel, with the im
pression that she had committed suicide.
Still later he proposed to kill her with
poison in a private room, cut her up
and scatter the pieces in the city catch
basins."

Eli Fassett noticed a golden eagle sail

his old shot gun and took fairly good
aim. He stunned the brute and was
able to catch and cage the bird before it
came to. He brought it to town and
disposed of it to Josh Brown. Tuesday
Josh shipped it to his brother-in-law at

Huse stayed down town a little longer
than usual (on account of the rain) and
as a consequence he is now mourning
the loss of a good cow. She had eaten
too much alfalfa and as a consequence
when she needed relief no one was there
to give her a helping hand. Alfalfa is
all right, but stock can get too much of
a good thing, especially when it is a
little damp.
