Kansas City Star. 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. McKiklet is quoted by some republi cans as a goldbug, some as asilverbug, and the general public has made up its mind that he isastraddlebug. Quill. 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. State against Allen, 43 Neb., 651 fol lowed. 3. The question as to which one of two factions of a political party is the true representative of snch political party is rather a political than a judi cial question. 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. NEWS FROM FOREIGN LANDS. COLOR LIIOT ST. LOUIS No Quarters For Negro Dele gates to the Convention. I0TELS BARBED AQA1T8T THEM. 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. Graver a am Aatorrat. 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 sarrive we can no longer look with in osSsrssce apon the shameful autocracy sf Gfwvar CsSTslaad. 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. Niagara aad Meteor Waa. 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.

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 today. J. S. Clarkson will arrive as will also O. B. Pray, ex-chairman of ths Iowa state central committee, who will assume direct charge of the movement.

S aeagerfest Fonaally Opeaed. Pittsburg, June 9- The sengerfeet was formally opened last night at 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. Freaaaly 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." WILL DIVIDE THE CASH.
