Senator Gonbbino spoke against the
bill providing for a fire and burglar proof
vault, protected by electrical appliances
and by watchmen, for the purpose of
protecting the public funds belonging to
the state. One of the strongest objec

public lands and buildings had equal
access to the vault with the state
treasurer.
The political enemy is always apprs
cistive, but he is not always disposed to
show his appreciation. The last Schuy
ler Herald (democratic) has this to say:
"A. E. Cady is one of the deserving
republicans of the state who should
receive attention at the hands of the new
national administration. If such men as
' he had been pushed to the front and
allowed to hold office his party would
not today have so much cause to blush."
Captain John D. Hart, owner of the
filibuster Laurada, has been sentenced
in the TJ. S. district court at Philadelphia
to two years' imprisonment and to pay a
fine of $500 and the costs of prosecution.
Shortly after the war began he leased
two of his steamers to Cuban patriots for
the transportation of arms, ammunition
and men to Cuba. Some of the largest
expeditions that touched the shores of
Cuba were shipped on these vessels.
Captain Hart was taken to prison imme
diately after the sentence was pronounc
ed. The costs of the prosecution are
about $5,000. It is not known yet
whether there will be an appeal to the
supreme court, or petition for a pardon
to President McKinley.
The Fremont Tribune says that Will
iam Colerick, of Nemaha, has had a very
strange experience in the last few weeks.
Seven or eight weeks ago Mr. Colerick
suddenly and unaccountably lost his
hearing. He was feeling perfectly well
at the time, had had no trouble with his
he-d, and had no previous warning. In
jut two weeks his hearing cams back
almost as suddenly as it left him. In a
.day or two, while Mr. Colerick was
milking, he suddenly became almost
totally blind, and for some time could
not see his hand before him. In the
last fsw days, however, his eyesight has
returned, and is now almost as good as
it was before. Another strange circum
stance is that Mr. Colerick ia cutting
several new teeth in his lower jaw. Al
though the new teeth are not through
yet, their shape can plainly be felt It
is a very queer case all the way through.
Rigid economy in government expen
ditures, debt-paying instead of debt
making management of our finances,
revenue adequate to the public needs
and chiefly from a protective tariff on
imports, the revival of Blaine's reciproc
ity, American ships again on the oosan,
aa American policy for the honor of the
ffsg snd the protection of American cit
izens, a respectful and friendly attitude
on the part of the executive toward the
legislative department of the government
and unity and good feeling between
north and south such is the McKinley
program as announosd Thursday. There
is the framework of an administration
which can satisfy the country snd res
tore prosperity to its citizens. To the
majority of readers Thursday w inaugural
address will be interesting as n sort of
personal introduction to a new man aad
a new mind. The impression created by

Uacertaintjr aa to what they will do

The endeavor of republican to give
the country what tney promised in ine
way of tanf lefielstioa, viz: an imme
diate chants ttom a deficit-producing to
ssjplas-prodscinff revenue law, may be
thwarted by the combined efforts of
populists and suver repuo-
The avowed intention of the demo
crats is to talk against sll the schedules
of the proposed tariff bill, thus delaying
actioa as long as possible, they consider
iag this to be good party policy.
lhsy argus that when the duties of the
new bin become known, there will be in
LisMirl imports under existing lower
rates, and that thus, when the higher
rates do go into effect, there will be a
falling off of imports and of consequent
revenue, and that this will inure to the
benefit of the democratic party.
Silver republicans, it is said, will not
prevent a tariff bill from passing, but
asem to be with the democrats in the
policy of delay.
The plain duty of republicans is to give
taa flounurv tans mkibmiuou aujusicu
for the protection of American products
and American labor, and secure it st the
earliest practicable moment
This may be one of those cases where
"more hurry, less speed," but the coun
try will understand where to place
responsibility for delay.
As the republicans are entering upon
a new lease of power, it becomes them to
put into practice all their general prin
ciples of action, chief among which is
know the facta, apply the remedies.
A BKfDBUCAK paper in the western
part of the state complains that the
Journal is unfair in not giving the
populist legislature credit for anything
meritorioue in the conduct of its mem
bership. Except in isolated cases it de
serves no credit The populist legisla
tors were sent here to reform certain
so-called abuses, and were pledged to
eoonomy, to sterling integrity, and
against caucus domination, against the
or DSSSee in weir DusmesB ana
against the dilatory monkey-work that
has marked the rise and fall of previous
law-making bodies in this glorious state.
What have they done to fulfill those
pledgee? The very first act was to
caucus on employes, recognizing in
every move tne aictaiorsnip oi ine
"Two Toms," who virtually bartered
and sold every position worth hold
ing to make Schwind secretary of the
senate, and Edminsten the inevitable
successor to the throne of Holcomb.
It economized, exactly as other legis
latures have done, by putting in as
many clerks and custodians as the
statutes could stand up under, many
of them have little or nothing to do
but cash in their vouchers and look
pleasant It carried out the pledge of
integrity by deliberately and feloniously
ttealfig the seats of five legally elected
members of another party and turning
the same over to fusionists elected by
the sovereign people to stay at home. It
hss plotted and is now plotting, by
virtue of a recanvass act, to place on the
supreme bench men who were defeated
for the position at the polls. Members
of the house and senate, almost to a man,
ride fare-free on the railroads and seem
to enjoy exemption from the bnrden of
buying tickets as the rest of us are com
pelled to do or hire a dray. Spring is
here and the date of adjournment not far
off. little has been done save what
should not have been done, and only
yesterday enough fool bills were pnt on
general file to keep the house wrangling
and chewing the rag from now till next
August From this unbiased showing,
it may readily be understood that no
truthful newspaper can speak well of the
present legislature and. in the same
breath, as it were, stand up for Nebras
ka. Bixby.
H. Clay Evans of Tennessee has' been
tendered the office of commissioner of
pensions, and in all probability will
accept tne appointment, wnicn is one or
the most important in the department
service at Washington outside of the
cabinet Mr. Evans is well known to
rablic men throughout the country, and
ong has been recognized aa a leader
among southern republicans. He repre
sented the Chattanooga district in con
gress for some years, and was first assist
ant postmaster general in the Harrison
administration. Later he was a candi
date for governor of Tennessee on the
republican ticket and made a remarka
ble run. The result was in doubt for
many weeks and it was not until a warm
fight before a board appointed to review
the election that it finally was announc
ed officially that Governor Turney his
democratic opponent had been re-elected.
He was considered for some time
not unlikely to be the south's represen
tative in Mr. McKinley's cabinet Mr.
Evans is a business man and of conceded
executive ability. He is a manufacturer
and has large railway supply repairing
shops. He is a forceful and effective
speaker.
The popocrats in the legislature are a
peculiar set After taking every office
in sight and creating as many new ones
as possible, they not only overlooked
their newspaper men, who have strug
gled along all these years almost on the
verge of bankruptcy for the time to come
when they might hope for a little state
printing, but actually propose to cut the
price in two for what little they do get
and establish a state printer to take most
of that Fairbury Gazette.
On the first of May the 24 hour system
of time measurement will be adopted by
the railways, postoffices and telegraph
stations of Belgium. It is thought the
system may become general.

PRESIDENT'S SPECIAL MESSAGE.
Baaalada taa Lawmakers That Kavaaaaa
Fall ta Pay Espaasaa.
. Washington, March 15. The presi
dent today sent the following message
to congress:
To the Congress of the United States:
Regretting the necessity which has re-
r' red me to call you together, I feel
tyour assembling in extraordinary
session is indispensable, because of the
condition in which we find the revenues
of the government. It is conceded that
its current expenditures are greater than
its receipts, and that such a condition
has existed now for more than three
years. With unlimited means at our
command, we are presenting the re
markable spectacle of increasing our
public debt by borrowing money to
meet the ordinary outlays incident
upon even an economical and
prudent adminstration of the govern
ment. An examination of the subject
discloses this fact in every detail and
leads inevitably to the conclusion that
the condition of the revenue which
allows it is unjustifiable, and should be
corrected. We find by the reports of
the secretary of the treasury thac the
revenues for the fiscal year ending June
80, 189, from all sources, were S425,
868,260.22 and the expenditures for all
purposes were $415,953,806.56, leaving
an excess of receipts over expenditures
of 9,914,453.66. During that fiscal year
940.670.467:98 was paid upon the public
debt, which has been reduced since
March 1, 1889, 1259,076,890, and the an
nual interest charge decreased $11,684,
576.60. The receipts of the government
from all sources during the fiscal year
ending June. 80, lt93, amounted to
461,716,561.94, and its expenditures to
459,874,887.65, showing an excess of
revenues over expenditures of $2,841
674.19. Since that time, the receipts of no
fiscal year, and with but few exceptions
of no month of any fiscal year, have ex
ceeded the expenditures.
The receipts of the government from
all sources during the fiscal year ending
June 30, lS94,'were $372,892,498.29. and
its expenditures $442,605,758.87, leaving
a deficit the first time since the resump
tion of specie payments of $69,808,260.58.
Notwithstanding there was a decrease
of $16,769,128.78 in the ordinary expenses
of the government, as compared with
the previous fiscal year, its income was
still not sufficient to provide for its daily
necessities and the gold reserve
in the treasury for the redemption of
greenbacks was drawn upon to meet
them. Bat this did not suffice, and the
government then resorted to loans to
replenish the reserve.
In February, 1894, $50,000,000 in
bonds were issued, and in November
following a second issue of $50,000,000
was deemed necessary. The sum of
$117,711,795 was realized by the sale of
these bonds, but the reserve was stead
ily decreased, until on Feb. 8, 1895, a
third sale of $62,315,400 in bonds for
$65,116,244 was announced to congress.
The receipts of the government for
the fiscal year, ending June 30, 1895,
were $390,373,203.30, and the expendi
tures $4H3, 178,420.48, showing a deficit
of $48,805,223.18. A further loan of
$100,000,000 was negotiated by the gov
ernment in February, 1896, the sale
netting $111,166,246, and swelling the
aggregate of bonds issued withinlhree
years to $262,815,400. For the fiscal
year, ending June 30, 1896, the
revenues of the government from all
sources amounted to $409,475,408.78,
while its expenditures were $434,678,
654.48, or an excess of expenditures over
receipts of $25,208,245.70. In other
words, the total receipts for the three
fiscal years ending June SO, 1896, were
insufficient by $137,811,729.46 to meet
the total expenditures. Nor .has this
condition since improved. For the first
half of the present fiscal year, the re
ceipts of the government exclusive of
postal revenues were $157,507,603.76, and
its expenditures exclusive of postal serv
ice $195,410,000.22, or an excess of ex
penditures over receipts of $37,902,
896.46. In January of this year the, receipts,
exclusive of postal revenues, were $24,
816,994.05, and the expenditures, ex
clusive of postal service, $30,269,389.29,
a deficit of $5,952,895.24 for the month.
In February of this year the receipts,
exclusive of postal revenues, were $24,
400,997.38, and expenditures, exclusive
of postal service, $28,796,056.66, a deficit
of $4,395.05.28, or a total deficit
of $186,081,580.44 for the three
three and eight months ending
March 1, 1897. Not only are we with
out a surplus in the treasury, but, with
an increase ia the public debt, there hss
been a corresponding increase ia the
annual charge from $23,898,868.20 in
1892. the lowest of anyyesr since 1862. to
$34,887,297.00 in 1896, or aa increase of
$11,493,414.40. It may be urged that
even if the revenues of the government
had been sufficient to meet all its ordi
nary expenses during the past three
years, the gold reserve would still have
beau iasufloent to meet the
upon it, aad that bonds would
sariry have beam issued for its repletion.
Be this as it may, k is clearly maaif est,
without denying or affirming the cor
rectaess of such 'a conclusion, that ths
debt would have been decreased ia at

iBtpreveal Process for Maklag- Diamonds.
Washington, March 15. Chemists
have recently and in public made actual
diamonds comparable in every respect
save one, that of size, with nature's
most valuable product. But the crys
tals so manufactured have, while true
diamonds, been so microscopic in 'pro
portions as to be of no commercial
value. Now, however, Consul Germain,
at Zurich, reports to the state depart
ment that a Mr. Moyat claims to have
discovered a process by which diamonds
of larger dimensions may be produced.
In principle his process is similar to the
one already used. That is to crystalize
carbon out of iron and steel by means of
high pressure and high temperature.
Looking After Government Interests.
Washington, March 16. In the su
preme court Attorney General McKgnna
asked permission to file a brief in' the
case of Anna J. De Guyer et al. against
William Banning, now pending in the
court on appeal from the superior court
at Los Angeles. The cases involves -a
portion of a Mexican grant in thelhor
bor of San Pedro,, where the govern
ment has important interests. The ac
tion of the attorney general is taken
with a view of protecting these inter
ests. States Can Tax Franchises.
Washington, March 15. The atten
tion of the United States supreme court
was given largely today to the power of
states to tax the franchises of corpora
tions, such as express, telegraph and
railroad companies. Two Kentucky
cases, involving the constitutionality of
the state law of 1892, one affecting the
Henderson bridge and the other the
Adams Express company, were both de
cided favorably to the state. .

ED. XYE, engineer, Kansas City, aged
40 years; leaves wife.
PATRICK CONNOR, fireman, aged 32,
Kansas City; leaves wife and three chil
dren. The injured:
John H. Meyers, conductor, Kansas
City, slightly Injured.
Jack Appleton, Kansas City, slightly
injured.
H. A. Kemp, Pacific express messenger,
badly scratched and bruised.
J. P. Meadob, traveling man, Atchi
son, Kan., two legs broken.-
L.F. Bacon, Kansas City, traveling
passenger and ticket agent or the Santa
Fe, slightly injured.
Mr. Bacon sent a message to his wife
in this city stating that he :1m able' to
be around, and would be home today.
The train consisted of engine, baggage
and two chair cars and one sleeper, and
carried a light load. All but the sleeper
were overturned. The engine turned
over on Engineer Nye and Fireman
Connor and crushed them :to death. The
passengers managed to escape with com
parative ease, but it was some time be
fore aid from Hiawatha was received
for the injured. A train bearing physic
ians left here for the scene this morn
ing, and will bring the dead and in
jured to this city. Engineer Nye was
one of the oldest engineers., ia the ser
vice, having been on the'rosd for 14
years.
The other two injured are V. B. Piper,
Kansas City, and N. M. Austerland,
Oklahoma. Piper, who ia a traveling
sslesmsn for (he Posey Brobek Mercan
tile company, is seriously but aot fatally
hurt.
Five horses oa the track caused the
wreck. The grade was down hffl. The
horses were standing in a bunch on a
curve and could not have' been seen till
within seventy-five yards. Evidently
the engineer eought the first glimpse of
them as he rounded the curve aad, real
izing that he could aot stop, pullled
the throttle open. Four of the horses
were thrown clear of ths rails; the
fifth went under the wheels. The en
gine turned clear over, loading with its
noes pointing in the opposite, direction
to what it had been travehag. The
baggage, smoker aad chair

'WASaHKOTON, 'March 16. Clhairman
Dtaglsy of the ways and means com-mittes-ia
response to a request that he
furaiaha synopsis of the new tariff bill
tad by nun. makes the following
The bill has two purposes, namely,
to raise additional revenue and to en
courage ths industries of the United
States. On the bsrisof the importations
for the last fiscal year, the bill would
incresM ths revenue about $112,000,000,
divided among ths several schedules as
follows:
A, chemicals, $3,500,000; B, crockery
aad glassware, $4,000,000; C, metals,
$4,000,000; D, wood, $1,750,000; E, sugar,
$31,750,000; F, tobacco, $7,000,000; G,
agricultural, $6,3000,000; H, liquors,
$1,800,000; I, cottons, $1,700,000; J. jute,
linen and linen hemp, $7,800,000; K,
wool, $17,500,000; ditto, manufacturers
of wools, $27,000,000; L, silks, $1,500,
000; M. pulp sad paper, $58,000; N, sun
dries. $6,800,000.
Increaae la Rereaae.
"This estimate is on the supposition
that the importe of each class of goods
would he the same the next fiscal year,
as in the fiscal year saded last June.
But as the imports of wool were three
times as great and those of wool more
than twice aa great in pounds as in
1898, the committee assume that the ex
cessive importation would be largely re
duced by the proposed bill, although the
fact that' our domestic production of
wool has diminished 8,000,000 pounds
since 1893 will necessitate the importa
tion of much more wool now than in
the latter year. Assuming that the im
portations of wool will fall off at least
one-third from those of 1896, on account
of anticipatory imports to avoid duties,
we place the increased revenue, from
this source at $1 1.000.1KX). Anticipating
also that the imports of woolens will
fall off nearly 50 per cent from the
enormous imports of 1896, we estimate
the increase in the revenue 'from this
source under the proposed rates at
about $14,000,000.
"From sugar we estimate $20,000,000
additional revenues. Anticipating a
considerable falling off of imports of
Havana tobacco because of the revolu
tion in Cuba, we reduce the estimates
of additional revenue to be derived from
the tobacco schedule to 84,000,000. The
remaining schedules will afford a reve
nue of about $39,500,000, on the basis
of the imports of 1896, but as there
would probably be diminished imports
at some points, although the gradual
restoration of business activity would
offset this by increasing the consump
tion of imported luxuries, we reduce the
estimates on these to $31,000,000. These
would aggregate an additional revenue
of $80,000,000 the first year. A further
reduction of $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 for
contingencies would leave $70,000,000 to
$75,000,000 as the probable increased
revenue from this bill the first year,
which would undoubtedly rise to $100,
000,000 the second year.
"These estimates are' below, rather
than above the probable result, unless a
considerable delay in the enactment of
the bill should greatly enlarged the op
portunity for imports of articles on
which duties are to be raised particu
larly wool and woolens for speculative
purposes. Undoubtedly any delay be
yond the first of May in placing the bill
on the statute book would result in a
large loss of revenue.
How the Iacrease Is Secured.
ff"This increase of revenue is secured
by the transferring of wool, lumber,
crude opium, paintings, statuary, straw
ornaments, straw mattings, burlaps and
various other articles from the free list
of the present law to the dutiable list;
by increasing the duty on woolens to
compensate the manufacturer for the
duty placed on wool; by raising the
duty on sugar about of a cent per
pound in order to encourage the pro
duction of sugar in this country, which
it is believed can be done, and thus give
our farmers a new crop, which we now
import mainly from abroad; by increas
ing the duty on agricultural products
affected by Canadian competition and
on fine cotton goods, some advanced
manufactures of iron and steel, manu
factures of jute, flax and hemp, in order
to encourage these and other industries
here, and especially by increasing duties
on such luxuries as liquors, tobacco.
silks, laces, etc,
"As a rule the rates of duties pro
posed are between the rates of the tariff
of 1890 and the tariff of 1894. The iron
and steel schedule is changed very little
from the schedule in the tariff of 1894,
the change being entirely in the more
advanced articles. The same is true of
the cotton schedule. In the agricultural,
wool, glass and earthenware schedules
alone are the duties of the act of 1890
fully restored as a rule, and in a few
cases increased, with the view of amply
protecting and encouraging our farming
interests by every possible point. While
the duty on clothing wool is larger in
proportion to the foreign value than on
manufactured articles, yet it is thought
desirable for the public interest and for
our agriculture that we should produce
this necessity for ourselves. N
"The duty on carpet wools, as well as
upon many other articles, is imposed
mainly for revenue. The irritation
caused by a few wools heretofore classed
as carpet wools being used for clothing
purposes, has been remedied by trans-
f erring. such wools to the clothing wool
classes, but the duty on clothing wool
hss been restored to the rate of the act
of 1890.
"In framing this new tariff the aim
las been ts saske the duties specific, or
t.t least partly specific, as far as possible
to protect the revenue and also to pro
tect our own industries. This hss been
done ia response to the wishes of the
better class of importers, as well as of
ths aiiminiet ratm-n of the laW and of OUT
owa producers. The very general sub
stitution of specific duties, even where
they are onry the equivalent of existing
ad valorem, will of itself increase the
revenue and strengthen the protection
afforded to our industries.
"The reciprocity provisions of the set
of 1890 have not only been restored, but
this policy hss been extended by adding
to sugar, tea. coffee and hides as articles
on which to make reciprocal agree
meats, such srticles as champagne,
brandy, wine, artificial and natural min
eral waters, chickle, argols and silk
laces. In addition to these articles the
reciprocity provision is strengthened
greatly by providing for a reduction of -
duties to countries giving us similar con-

bers of the ways and means committee
aad will, it is hoped, receive the sup
port, aot only of Republicans, but of

A mink of graphite of remarkable
purity has been discovered about five
miles south of the town of Coon Rapids,
in Carroll county, Iowa. The vein is
said to be fourteen inches in thickness
snd has been pronounced by experts to
be the real stuff. The clay, which is of
a dark bluish color, iB now being used
for polishing stoves, producing a good
luster, even in its natural state, and it is
said lead pencils may be made from it
withont the usual working over neces
sary for this use. Pure graphite sells
for as high as $80 per ton and if the vein
is at all extensive, there will be millions
to it. The mine will be worked this
spring by the owners of the land.
Recent experiments with deaf mutes
by a Swiss professor, says an exchange,
established the fact that much can be
done to aid their perception of sound by
the microphonbgraph, a new apparatus
to repeat Bounds and greatly increase
them. If the slightest vestige of the
sense of hearing is left this instrument
can reach it with distinctness. Another
of its uses is to register sounds inaudi
ble to the most acute hearing and in
crease them until they are clearly heard.
In short, microphonography is the art of
registering the infinitely small in the
domain of sound and of increasing it at
will.
The story is told by an exchange of
how a bunch of school boys and girls
were at the dejxjt lust week, and one of
them, in a casual way, lamented that all
the scientific problems had been solved
before they could have a chance to show
their hands on such things, when a com
mercial man broke in about as follows:
''Don't get clear down in the mouth
children. Try your hands ou what
makes the sky blue, and how a hen
makes yolk' and shell from the same
grub. Tell me why there is never an ear
of corn with an odd number of rows of
corn on it, .or how lightning bugs make
light without any heat. And while you
are about it, tell me how the lightning
bug can live 1,000 years, or forever, for
that matter, on nothing, or why my hair
is black and yours is red."
.Copper is ordinarily cast by the use
of alloys, bnt now it is to be cast pure,
it seems. Tho new metal is known as
M. B. copper. Edison accounts for the
evident change in the atomic structure
of the metal by the theory that the
shape of the crystals has been altered
so that their lines are parallel and that
the molecules are thus brought closer
together and into more intimate contact
with each other.
The secret of snecess is concentra
tion: whenever there has been a great
life, or a great work, that has gone
before. Taste everything a little, look
at everything a little; but live for one
thing. Anything is possible to a man
who knows his end and moves straight
for it, and for it alone. Olive Schreiner.
To Chicago and the East.
Passengers goingeast for business, will
naturally gravitate to Chicago as the
great commercial center. Passengers
re-visiting friends or relatives in the
eastern states always desire to "take in"
Chicago en route. AH classes of passen
gers will find that the "Short Line" of
he Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
way, via Omaha and Conncil Bluffs,
affords excellent facilities to reach their
destinations in a manner that will be
sure to give the utmost satisfaction.
A reference to the time tables will in
dicate the route to be chosen, and, by
asking any principal agent west of the
Missouri river for a ticket over the
Chicago, Council Bluffs & Omaha Short
Line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway, you will be cheerfully
furnished with the proper passport vis
Omaha and Chicago. Please note that
all of the "Short Line" trains arrive in
Chicago in ample time to connect with
the express trains of all the great through
car lines to the principal eastern cities.
For additional particulars, time tables,
maps, etc., please call on or address F.
