FOR GOVERNOR.
'. J. H. MacColl, the candidate for gov-
ernor, was" born in Kent county, Ontario,
51 years ago. He came to this country
ia 1809 aad settled in the unorganized
territory now organized as Dawson
county, and engaged in farming and
stock raising, amassing a competence of
goodly proportions by thrift and indom
itable industry. He identified himself
with the republican party and has ever
been a loyal advocate of republicanism
.during all the years of his resideneein
this country. He was a member of the
legislature in 1877 and county clerk of
Dawson for' 13 years. He was a candi
date for governor in 1890, but was de-
feated for the nomination by L. D.
Biehards, and again in 1894 by T. J.
Majors. Jack, as he is familiarly known,
is a genial man who has hosts of friends
in the state. He will make a fair
minded, sate governor. He is a big-
. hearted fellow and loves the right.
CONFUSING TWO DISTINCT IS
SUES. lOawha World-Herald, Assort x, 188B.
The silver agitators who insist on free
coinage upon the dishonest ratio 1 to 16
aad refuse to accept it upon the honest
ratio of 1 to 25 are very anxious to de
lude the public into the belief that the
deaiaad for more currency and the de
BBsad for coinage upon the ratio of 1 to
- 1$ are identical.
They brand as gold bugs all who de
. chae to advocate 54 cent silver dollars.
In truth, however, the only honest bi
aaetalliet is be who believes in the free
i of gold and silver, each taken at
its market value and so coined that 100
its worth of gold shall be in the gold
dollar and 100 cents worth oteUver shall
be sa the stiver dollar.'
The btmetalliat who advocates free
i of gold and silver on a ratio of 1
to 45 is as .much a believer in an increase
in the ckcmlatiog medium as the

The World-Herald believes that the
two propositionB contained in the above
paragraphs appeal to the sound judg
ment of the intelligent people of Ne
braska. With regard to the first there ought
to be by this time no question. Wheth
er or not timid investors were justified
in becoming alarmed at the prospect of
a depreciated currency makes no differ
ence. They may have been foolish, but
even then their fears have had an effect
on the whole business world and pro
duced vast trouble. Remove the cause
of their fears and restore confidence.
The second is practical, honest and
safe bimetallism on the ratio of 1 to 25.
It would reopen all the silver mines of
the west and be equivalent to affording
a permanent market for silver at about
82 cents per ounce. Investors would
know that a silver, dollar contained as
much real value as a gold dollar, and it
would, therefore, pass ss readily in for
eign business aa gold. Confidence would
be restored. The gradual increase in the
supply of silver currency worth par
would proceed. The silver interests
would be stable and reasonably pros
perous. No people, except the greedy owners
of silver mines, anxious to make inordi
nate profits, are interested in coinage at
the ratio of 1 to 16.
No people, except those avaricious
owners of money, who profit by contract
ing the currency, are interested in pro
hibiting honest free silver coinage at the
ratio of 1 to 25.
We have no silver mines in Nebraska
and the interests of the people of this
state simply require free and unlimited
coinage of silver, upon the basis of its
reasonable value, which cannot be far
from 1 part of gold to 25 of silver.

Oakton, O., Aug. 25. Eight hun
dred dtiaens of East Iiverpool, O.,
aaderjthe auspices of the McKinley and
Hobart club of that city, called on
Major McKinley yesterday morning.
A short time after the East Liverpool
ate departed a delegation from Knox
eounty , Ohio, marched up to the McKin
ley residence. After the greeting Major
McKinley aaid:
Me. Cbitcbtield and Mr Fellow
CmZKKs: It gives me great pleasure to
meet and- greet the farmers of Knox
eounty, for the farmers of the United
States are the more conservative force in
our citizenship and in our civilization
(applause) a force that has always stood
for good government, for country, for
liberty and for honesty. .(Great applause.)
Whatever the farmer is suffering today
Is because his competitors have increased
ia numbers, and because his best custom
en are out of work. (Applause and cries
of "You are right.") I do not know that
we can decrease the number of your com
petitors, but with a true American pro
tective policy we can set your best cus
tomers to work. (Tremendous cheering.)
We have suffered in our foreign trade and
we have suffered in our domestic trade.
The farmers have suffered in their export
trade and they have likewise suffered in
their market in the home market.
Can the farmer be helped by the free
coinage of silver? (Cries of "No, no.")
No. forever uo, my fellow citizens. (Cries
ef "Hurrah for McKinley!") We cannot
be helped because if the nominal price of
grain were to rise through an Inflation of
the currency the price of everything else
would rise also, and the farmer would be
relatively no better off than he was before.
He would get no more real value for his
grain than he gets now and would suffer
from the general demoralization which
would follow the free coinage of silver.
You cannot help the farmer by more coin
age of silver; he can only be helped by
more consumers for his products. You
cannot help him by free trade, but he can
be seriously hurt by the free Introduction
of competing products into this country.
Better a thousand times enlarge the mar
kets for American products than to en
large the mines for the silver product of
ef the world. (Tremendous cheering and
cries of "You're right."
You might just as well understand now
that you cannot add value to anything by
diminishing the measure of the value with
watch the thing is sold or exchanged. If
you can Increase the value by lowering
the measure of value and you want to
beaeit the farmer, then make the bushel
smaller, the pound lighter and declare a
legal dosen less than twelve. (Great
laughter.) The home market Is the best
friead of the farmer. It is bis best market.
It Is his oaly reliable market. It is his
own natural market. He should be pro
tected in lta enjoyment by wise tariff leg
islatiow and this home market should not
be permitted to be destroyed by lessening
the demand for American labor and dimin
ishing the demand for agricultural, pro
ducts. The sugar industry should be" cul
tivate and -encouraged in the United
States. Diversify the products of agricul
ture aad thus you will have additional
employment for your land.
OsOvOm Way.
The oaly way to help the farmer is to
Increase the demand for his farm product.
This can be done by preserving a home
market to him and by extending our mar
ket, which we did in 1888-3-4 under the
reciprocity provisions of tariff law of
law. The best consumers for the Amer
icas farsner ara those at home. They con
sume 18 times as much of the products of
the American farm aa (he foreign con
sumer. Their earning power has been cut
oa? lathe past two years so that it makes
our home market less desirable. Prosper
ity of manufacturers is inseparable from
the proasstlty of agriculture. The farmer
wants tab protected by wise tariff legis
lation from the eompetitioa of the other
then he wants the mines aad
mills aad factories of his own country
humming with busy industry, employing
well paid workmen wao can bay and con-
aJsproaucts.

8akatooa, N. Y., Aug 95. The end
of a long day of many conferences
found a situation last night that has
hardly been equalled in the history of
state Republican conventions. Thomas
O. Piatt, for many years the leader of
the party and but once an ofHeeholder,
is besieged in so vigorous a manner that
bis determination not to be a candidate,
still adhered to, is quite likely to be
overridden and the scenes that marked
the nomination of David B. Hill in 1891
may find Republican repetition. Oa
the other hand, men who have for
months nursed gubernatorial booms, find
those booms on the verge of a collapse,
so sudden that it has paralyzed the am
bition of energetic workers and spread
some discontent among the rank and
file.
The proposed nomination of Mr.
Platt.it is alleged, is for the purpose
of healing differences and preventing a
breach between the followers of Aid
ridge and Fish, but it that is the aim it
would be hardly successful, for already
there is friction over whom shall be Mr.
Piatt's running mate. The friends of
Mr. Piatt have coupled the name of
Mr. John U. Scatcher of Buffalo with
the office of lieutenant governor, and
this has given offense to the followers
of Mr. Woodruff of Brooklyn, who i
think he would have been the choice t
had the Piatt boom not been launched.

The injured were all"' brought to the
Allegheny hospital, where every atten
tion possible was given them. The
serious cases are still there, while the
others were either removed to their
homes in Allegheny or continued on
their journey.
The wreck was a peculiar one, and
one that involved' three trains the local
freight. No. 27, the through freight,
No. 25, and the eastbonnd passenger,
No. 4, from Chicago. The local was
standing at Valencia station unloading
freight when the through freight came
to the top of the grade just east of
Valencia. The engineer, who was on
the lookout for No. 27, put on the air
brrkes, but they refused to work, and
his train went crashing into the local.
Just at the time the two freights col
lided the passenger came along on the
eastbonnd track and was struck by the
freight cars which were derailed at that
moment. The engine and baggage .car
Of the passenger train got through
safely and broke away from the balance
of the train. The first passenger coach,
in which were a great many ladies, was
crushed by a carload of oil well t ubiog.
The tubing was thrown with terrific
force in every direction, causing most of
the wounds received by the passengers.
The wreckage was piled 25 or 80 feet
high in places.
YACHT RACE DECLARED OFF.

Caald Baa the Coarse la Thaw Iisstt.
Toledo, O., Aug. 25. After sailing
over the first leg and a little more than
half of the second leg of the interna
tional yacht race course, yesterday, the
judges declared the race off, as it was
evident neither boat could sail the 24
knot course within the time limit of 5)4
hours. It was little more than-a drift
all the while the race was on. The only
things demonstrated by the contest
were that Canada can outsail Ven
oedor in a light wind and that the Can-,
ada sailors can outsail the crew of the
Vencedor. Canada took the lead aftei
crossing the line from the start. Ven
cedor turned the. first stake boat nearly
27 minutes behind her rival. Canada's
time on the first leg was 2 hours and
14 minutes. As there was no improve,
ment in the breeze while the boats were
sailing on. the second leg, it became ap
parent to the judges that it would be
necessary to postpone the contest, and
they therefore, called the race off.
When the race was called there was
nearly 100 boats in the fleet of pleasure
craft lined up to the leeway of the
course, with instructions to keep out of
the way of the racing yachts.
Steel Works Shut lloi
Pittsburg, Aug. 25. All departments

COAL OUTPUT OF LAST YEAR.
Ia the Yield ef the
by the Geverasaeas.
Washington, Aug. 25. Edward
Wheeler Parker of the geological survey
has completed the report of the produc
tion of coal in the United States for
1895. It shows that the output of the
mines for that year exceeded that of
any previous year in the history of the
country, aggregating in round numbers
173,000,000 long tons, equivalent to 194,
000,000 short tons. This was an in
crease of 23.000.000 short tons over the
product of 1804, or an advance of about
IS per cent.
Professor Parker says of theprodoc
ttenof coal in Nebraska that the south
western corner of Nebraska contains a
portion of the western coal fields but the
veins of coal, being on the edge of the
field, are pinched to their seams vary
ing from 0 to 22 inches. Some coal has
been taken out during the past year for
local consumption, but with the devel

Fort Smith. Ark., Aug. 25. Trouble
which has been brewing for three weeks
in the Choctaw nation, as a result of
! the election of Green McCurtain as gov

about the same number of men, mem
bers of the Buzzard party, composed
hugely of old-time full bloods and many

followers of McCurtain's opponents in
the recent election. An unconfirmed
report reaches here by passengers north

Daughter Dtwlplleed With a Log Chain.
Cedar Rapids, Aug. 25. The desire
of Lizzie Dietz to ride a bicyele was
considered sufficient cause by her parents
to fasten and lock to her feet a heavy
log chain.. The father is quite promi
nent, being an alderman. The police
were called and the impromptu fetters
were removed. The parents say their
motive was to keep the girl from bad
company. The daughter, who tells a
story of years of ill treatment, is given a
good name generally. An agreement
was made that in future her conduct
shall be referred to the police matron
before punishment shall be inflicted. -
