THE OMAHA. DAILY BEE : TUESDAY. APRIL 17. 1888. It Finds An Enthusiastic Champion In Senator Farwoll. REASONS FOR CONTINUING IT. Reagan nml Stcwnrt Present tlio Other Side of tlio Question The Dakota Division Hill Under Consideration. Senate. "WisnixoTOjf , April 10. Mr. Stewart in troduced n bill In the senate to-day granting n pension ot W.OOO a year to the widow of Chief Justice Wnlto. After the reference of a number of meas ures the conference report on the bill to divide - vide the Great Sioux reservation into soper- nto smaller reservations was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Farwoll , "tho bill provld- ing-for the Investment of certain funds in the treasury was taken up , and Mr. 'Farwoll proceeded to address the ecnato. Ho gave notice of hla intention to oiler two amend ments to the bill. Ono of them directs the secretary of the treasury to Issue and soil to national banks nt par for United States notes , United States 2 > per cent bonds , re deemable after flfty years , tto bo used by banks no security for tholr circulating notes , the notes to bo Issued at tho' full par value of the bonds. It also directs the secretary of the treasury to invest the sur plus funds held in the treasury , including the amount to be received tor these bonds , In the purchase of any United States bonds in open market and replace all the sinking fund. The other amendment authorizes the so ere. tary of the trcasur.yln order to enable national banks to maintain and increase their circula tion nnd prevent the ultimate destruction of bmikfl by the purchase or payment of the natloilal debt , to receive from banks , to so- curo'tholr circulating notes , state , county or municipal bonds , upon which interest lias heretofore been promptly paid and whoso market value is equal to or greater than their face value , bearing interest at not less than 4 per cent , suck bonds not to bo received by the treasurer at inoro than 15 per cent of their par value , nor until the approval of the secre tary of the treasury , treasurer of the United Status nnd comptroller of the currency shall bo endorsed upon them. Mr. Farwcll went on to say that the bill was good enough BO far as it wont , but it did not include the whole finance question , whicli bo regarded as of paramount interest. It only proposed to tomporlzo with It. It simply re duced the interest on 4 per cent bonds to 3) per cent. Those bonds amounted to $ TOOOUO,000 nnd matured in 1007 and it authorized na tional banks to receive circulation at par upon them and upon all othoUnitad States bonds , The bill did not rotnedy the evils of the present financial condition. The two amendments which ho proposed to oftcr , would ho thought , cure those evils. Ho would , if ho could , so nmond the financial legislation of the country that tlio national i banking system the best ever devised should bo continued. His amendments , if adopted , would enable national banks to use the present debt of the United States. Tf that debt could bo continued , at its present volume , the legislation proposed by lilm would bo adcquato to the maintenance of the national banking system , but ho recognized the fact that the American people were nnxious and determined to pay the debt. Under his amendment the banks would have a new leuso of life nnd would bo nblc to furnish the country with all the cir culating medium required , limited only by the amount of the national debt. If it were desired that thoirpormuncntcxistcnco should bo secured nnd the necessary volume of cur rency furnished through thorn , the authority should bo given to thorn to furnish other bonds so a basis for their circulation accord ] ing as the national debt was reduced ana retired. Without that authority , ns tlio national debt was paid , banks would bo com- p611cd to give up the circulation secured thereby , nnd that circulation would , of course , bo destroyed. Tlio real trouble was in the want of legislation forcing all the commercial iuter- fcsts of the country to base their medium of exchange on the national debt and in the re tirement of that debt without the substitute of some other basis oC their circulation. Bank circulation was a necessity and could not , without detriment to trade , bo replaced by any fixed governmental issue. Ho would , if ho had the power , pusi a law now that would perpetuate tlio national banking system. Government was organized to protect the people. It had no other duties. Congress ought to pay off tlio national debt , both bonds and notes , and authorize the people , under the national bunk act , with suitable ) amendment H , to furnish themselves with nil the money needed. The poonlo will then furnish their p\vn circulating medium in such quantities as Iho business of the country required , and tlio.y would not bo subject- any legislation by congress nor have their interest menaced and jeopardized as at present by a deposit of ? 01.000,000 in national banks , subject to the call of the secretary of the treasury. The government should got out of business tit all kinds and especially out of the money 'business ' , poonlo should bo provided with adequate laws to manage their own affairs in their own way. Uauks were ono of the evi dences of advanced civilization. By them nnd through them the business of the coun try was done , only five per cent of it buing douo with inonay. Ho did not regard the banks as monopolies nor did ho chitractcrlzo them us the money power of tlio country , Ho thought them the reverse of nil. Ho didn't believe In sumptuary laws , legal tender laws , nor usury laws , but ho did bo- Hove in that kind of government which hail the fewest lawn , giving the people the largest liberties and guaranteeing good order , good morals and adequate protection. In pur suance of that law he would not require any otio by law to take silver or greenbacks or national bank notes in payment of debts. Ho would leave that matter entirely to ngrco- incut and contract. Ho would permit any citizen of tlio United States to no to the mints and have his bullion coined Into ' money. Ho would ulso permit him to have his silver bullion coined into money , hav ing gold as the standard , but ho deemed it impossible to have two standards. There could bo but ono standard. In his judgment the thing that would tnaka no dif ference to anybody in this country was to accept the inevitable and make the readjustment nt once. If it were desired to make the silver dollar equal to gold , thu requisite quantity of silver should bo put into It. Then nobody would bo cheated. In. conclusion ho said : "Under thcso amendments , or by some other similar legis lation , I would refund the present public debt nt 2W per cent at live years , nnd authorize national banks to receive circulation at par tor such amounts as they might USD for that purpose. I would require the secretary of Iho treasury to invest this surplus in tlio pur chase of any indebtedness of the government la open market from tlma to time. I would bnvo Huspendod the requirements of the sink ing fund , bccausa if the secretary is author ized to buy the imbllo debt with the surplus from tuna to time , the requirements of the law creating that fund would bo no longer necessary. For the purposu of enabling ttio jieoplu to inanugo their ulTairs , without inter ference on the part of the government , I would allow thorn to maintain a volume of national bank circulation up to the amount of the national debt by state , county and muni cipal bonds as provided for in the last umcnd- jnont which I proposed. If such legislation cau bo passed we would hoar uo morn of tnoney stringency or panlci. " Mr. Reagan said his wish was to see the country relieved ol the bonded debt us early ka possible. Ho did not deny that the na tional banks had subserved u very valuable purpose during and since the war. but ho re gretted that the time was npprouchlng when ? Loy should become extinct. They had fcko-vn thcmsolve * to be guided by a policy jbecuilarljr then * own and at war with tbo neat interests of the country. He would al low the charters of uationnl banks to expire kad ho would rofnia to rechartor Diem as fcdnlij of issuo. For national bank .circula tion ho would eubstilute the issue o ccrtum certificates , based on gold and silver tu. the IreMUry , ocd If that \vcr rial cn u a , hi ) would authorize the issue of treasury notes. but not as legal tender. Uo wobld protest against tbo policy ot continuing the bonded debt for flro ycnrn nnd ngaiftst the policy of perpetuating national banks. Mr. Stewart protested against the dc- stntetlonaf silver in the * interest of Hint "mushroom-stuff" which had already brought distress upon the countryi National bnnk circulation ought no to bo fos tered any longer. The precious metals should bo used for circulation and -when they were not sufficient paper money should bo issued , not by private cor- porntions , but by the government of the United States. Tlio greatest enemies of the country were those xvho nmnngod the circula tion of the country sfl n ? W tnako hard times or good tlmoi to suit tholr speculation. At the close of Mr. StoWnrt's remarks the senate resumed the consideration of the bill for the mlmisilon of thu slate of South Da kota and for the organization of the territory of North Dakota , Mr. Bpooner addressed the senate in favor of the bill. Ho nrgucd that the question ot the division of the terri tory had been submitted to the whole people and bcon decided in favor of division by a majority of over G.OOO. As to the suggestion matlo by Mr. Huller that 80,000 voters of Dakota nnd bcon eo Intlltlcrcnt to the ques tion that they stayed awny from the polls , and that thorofdVo It was not n fair test of the popular will , ho drew n distinc tion between thO.cnBes of voters in northern states who remained from the polls throtlgh indifference nml of votars in the southern states who were kept awny through Intimida tion. Aa'to the claim inado by Mr. Butler that there was no danger to bo apprehended from the imperial states , ho questioned it and assorted that the great empire state of TOXOH did menace by her monstrous terri tory the Interests of the other sections of the country. She had In the other houao the chairman of the Judiciary committee , the chnlrmnn of the committee on ways and means , a committee which dealt with the dearest interests of New England , New York , Pcnns.ylvanla and nil the country , and tno chairman of the com mittee on claims , while tho. great state of Now York had no voice In the committee on ways nnd means.Vhysuch preponderance in political influence on the part of the om- plra stnto of Texas ) It was not duo to the wealth , loyalty dr intelligence of her people. It was duo to two things : Her solid democ racy and her territory. No such empire states were wnntod in the union. Ho did not bollovo South Dakota would bo admitted by this congress , but ho thought ho might safely prophecy that before long there would bo elected a congress that would recognize her rights lind gladly welcome her. The bill went ovur till to-morrow , and after executive session the senate "adjourned. OX' , April 10. The house passed the bill extending the time for the completion of the Artiiur'ICill bridge. A motion was'mado to suspend the rules and put tho'rlvcr nnd harbor bill upon its pas- sago. The reading of the bill consumed nearly an hqur and a half. Mr. Anderson of Kansas demanded a second and the motion was seconded yeas 128 , hays 45. 45.A A motion was teen made that the liouso adjourn. This was lost , and after a sharp de bate a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill was lost yeas 1W ! , nays 120. As there was not the necessary two-thirds in the af firmative Mr. Calkins of Ohio moved to sus pend the rules and adopt the following reso lution : Ucsolvedj That it is the sense of the house that section 9 of the act making appro priations for sundry civil expenses of the government for the y ear ending Juno 30 , 1883 , aud for other purposes , approved March a , 1831 , which is as follows : That the secretary of the treasury may at any time apply the surplus , money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated or so much thereof as ho may consider proper to purchase for the redemption of United States lands ; provided , that the lands so purchased or redeemed shall constitute no part of the sinking fund , but shall bo redeemed nnd can celled , was intended to bo a permanent pro vision of the law and the sarno is hereby de clared to have been since its enactment and to be now , in the opinion of the house , in full force and effect. Mr. AVeaver declared this resolution meant nothing moro , than the defeat and burial of the hous'o surplus resolution with the Beck silver amendment. Ho appealed to the ways nnd moans committee not to allow it to bo buried. The resolution was finally adopted yeas 133 , nays 04. Adjourned. GAMBK1NUS COKKED. The Big Strike of Now York Urowors Goes Into Effect. NEW YOUK , April 15. The brewery lock out began at noon to-day , aud moro than 5,000 brewers , brewery wagon drivers , inul- sters , helpers , wagou makers , coopers , paint ers and apprentices in this city , Brooklyn , Jersey City , Newark , Paterson and Staten Island are out of work. According to the Instructions of their unions every brewer in every ono of the above named cities returned to work as usual this morning. There was no kind of demon stration. Just before noon the proprietors of each brewery called their men together. They were Instructed , in n short address , that owing to the resolution that the National Brewers' association had seen lit to adopt , their services would no longer bo required. They were informed that the brewery em ployers had unanimously decided to bo their own bosses and would not , nnd never will hereafter , submit to any thing of a dictatorial nature from their men. The bosses considered the couj tract with tlio journeymen brewers which the union demanded the employers to sign was decidedly of this nature , nnd consequent ly had refused to sign it. The men were further informed that should they feel dis posed to submit tholr names for reemployment ment as individuals and were willing to dis connect themselves from their unions and recoguizo their employers as their only bosses , the proprietors would bo perfectly willing to re-employ them , give them the saino pay with the same number of hours work , and 'employ thorn under the same con ditions as they bad worked under formerly. When the time came the men quietly departed after receiving their pay , and the doors of every brewery were closed and business for the time is suspended in this city. As fast as the men drew their pay they proceeded nt once to their headquarters , where the strike committee took their names and to what brewery they belonged. The strikers say that while the bosses have secured j\ largo number of now mon , they are incompetent and thoroughly unable to manufacture good beer. . * Colorado Traffic Association.

[ Special Tele gram to the Bun. ] Litigation growing out of the late flood of the Missouri river , was to day instituted against Union county , Dakota. A year ago the county dug a ditch just bolpw Elk Point to carry oft the flood water of the Missouri to the Sioux river. A strong cur rent cut through this ditch during the late flood and now threatens to transform it into the inniu channel of the Missouri nnd the farmers living in tlio vicinity are bringing suits for damage.

The grass cut by a machine doing1 the work of pix raon is just as good as if the machine only did the work of one man ; and the bono and niusclo derived from food are just as good when the animal has all ho can properly use ns it would if ho'was only half fed. Stock growth is a matter that can and should be controlled by the powers of the system and not thiS old ideas of time derived from , observa ; tions of the half-wild , half-starvodj small stomached races. Whore is the proof or the evidence of this weakness and immaturity outside of theoryV The two your old steoi1 pulls more pounds in the prize ring than the six year old ok of the sauio weight did years ago. One of the most useful facts for breed ers of all classes of stock to learn , and one which will aid them in contending with hard times and low prices , is that the time of producing'a marketable an imal can bo very much shortened , and by eo doing the proiitgreatly inoreasod.- It is well kno\yn now that with the im proved breeds of pigs six or eight months are enough to lit the pork for market , whereas it formerly took eigh teen months. But in spite of the great change in this particular , there is iv class of mon who contend that the beet from n two-year old steer , thouph ho may bo as largo and heavy and fully de veloped as the six-year old ox of format1 times , is not mature , and cannot bo BO good as the tlosh of an older animal. The banio mon cry out aguinst pamper ing , stulllng , forcing end ovarfoediug , when they see u six-mouths old colt cat as many oats as n good sized rooster would require. They think that an animal that grows rapidly must bo ten der and immature , easily injured and subject to diseases. Gultu.ro ot'IUuckhcrry and Raspberry , Some people will drive from thirty to fifty miles , and spend days of time in their search for 'wild berries , whpn n much moro plentiful supply of bettor quality could have been obtained at homo by investing half the time and ox- pouso an their culture. Blackberries and raspberries are not difficult tq raiso. They are quite hardy , and will seldom kill if given no protection nt nil in winter. That they do kill down occa sionally in an unusually severe winter is no doubt the reason why they are not moro generally grown in our gardens. Although they may not bo injured for years if allowed to face the winter with out covering , it docs not pay to take chances in this way when they can bo so easily protected. Their 'pliable stems can bo bent dowu , and coyer&d at very llttlo expense. It is auiio an udvunwgo to grow them in rows in couplers about thrpo foot apart. Between * llieso couplets nro wider spaces , say six foot. In autumn the two rows are wsnt in together , both occupying a slncflfe narrow space , for which ono unbrokfrn striti of covering will answer. In Jip summer season the branches ttiay bo Jhrown over into the wide spaces , so fcht the narrow ones may bo cultlvatcvh-P Such bushes ar4 often bent ilown and covered too early ! 'lh the season.

It is Ijofitho freezing alotio that injures theiJKjjit is tlio alternate freezing and thawing that is so fntal to the bushes , and U'fitte , too , for that mat ter. Tlio surf ncoV ground ought to bo well frozen , bofbi'o" ' "Ih6y rirb covered over. This will prevent the working of mice , and the covering nftor freezing will prevent thawing and keep the plants in a dormant condition until time for thorn to Blurt in the spring. Just before freoxinif the tops should bo bent over nnd Yi.abdV-oltui of earth laid on thorn to holitj thorn , down.

The plants may as well uo bent down a little oarliiir , and , then covered after freezing occurs. Coarse marsh hay or straw is good for covering , Tops and roots should bo covered so that the sun can have no cITcct upon them. Tlio covering should bo worked in around the stems BO that the wind may not take it off roadilv , and that all may receive a share of the covering. John J. Moore , oPPlnltifiald , Ind. , de livered nn address before the Hcndrlcks County ( Ind : ) association , -which ho gave it as his judgment , based on ob servation tin d experience , that it is not profitable for any farmer to engage inbreeding brooding and training fast horses , and trying to farm at the same time. Draft horses , ho thought , pay well , and could bo raised much cheaper than cattle , and at much moro prollt. "It is the experi ence of all who have bred and raised horses , " said Mr. Moore , "th'it they are always on the market at good , steady , paying prices , and the farmer is not oven required to have them broken , ex cept to halter. " The draft horse was the subject of many papers at farmers' institutes this winter , and the fast horsemen mon no longer monopolize attention. There is a general desire to improve the grade , and in many parts of the west farmers club together to buy an im ported draft Btullion , each having1 several mares to breed. By this means the best class of stallions is obtained , nnd the improvement in the quality of the horses becomes marked in a short time. , GOOHC Fa rilling. From the number of inquiries that wo receive concerning' geese there must surely bo a general Awakening On that subject. It has notocomo any too soon. Geese are surely I the most profitable fowl the farmer can raise , and are es pecially adapted fti' largo farms and whore ono desires to raise fowls in largo numbers. There n' .d bo no expensive buildings erected .for them , nor yards fenced in with higlx- priced fencing , for tnoy can bo kept anywhere that a hog can , and need vory-jLittlo euro. All that a liock of geese need for at least nine months of the year1 is plenty of pasture and wator. The almost worthless hill sides and waste places that wo see on too many farms might bo made the most profitable ones by herding a flock of geese upon them.The number of geese that these places wquld support would have to bo determujjad by experiment , but it is safe to say fliat any farmer who knovys nothing about goose farming' would bo almost horrified to know how much money ho has lost in the past by not rearing geese. As a family fowl , there is nothing that beats geese very badly. The farmer's wife , who thinks she will never find anything to take the place of fried chicken , wo say , try a few broiled goslings , or green geese , as they are called in market , and she will bo agreeably surprised to line something superior. A fat goose is equal , in every respect , if not bettor , when baked , than turkey. And who 1ms over known the delight of a good feather bed and will ing to bo without one ? Mns. W. W. STKVKKS. SALEM , Ind. _ Currants. There is no other fruit so comiron on the farm as the currant. Its haruinoss and adaptability to all conditions ac count for this to a considerably extent , while the excellent quality of the fruit makes it most deservedly popular with all. Were it not M > hardy and te nacious of life it would not be so com monly found on the farm , for , as a rule , the care givca it is very slight. A row of bushes is usually found alongside the fence , or be tween the applotrecs , where the roots are bound with the over-encroaching sod , and the whole institution smoth ered by weeds and grass. They will continue to exist under all these disad vantages for years , yielding a scanty crop of inferior quality. Like all other plants the currant will amply repay 'and constant cultivation. Its demands in the way of care are not exorbitant , yet they must not bo neglected. As to lojuliou of bushes , the grower can consult his own convenience , for they will do well in an open Bpuco , or among troon , where not lee much shadod. It is bolter to have them par tially blinded , as the fruit will grow larger and ripan moro evenly in such locations. If given an upon space in the garden the bushes can bo batter tended to in most catod , which will often moro than offset the oenollt derived from the bhudo of trees. Aside from kec Jj r the grass and weeds away from tile riiots , the ground snould not bo disturbed im mediately about the plants , for the more the roots nro cut -.and mangled by digging among thorn ; ti" } moro suckero or shoots _ will springti ( > 'and draw from the nourishment of tliiv'muiu stems. A good substitute ! for cultivation is found in mulching. A good heavy mulch serves three purposes : It keeps down the weeds and , , grass , retains moistures for the rooti , and furnibhcs a supply of fortili/.ing' material for the production of a generous crop of fruit. The mulch fertilizes in the most natural and economical manner that of filtration. If the bushes are sod bound nt the root * , or choked with weeds and briars at the top , dig up arfd cultivate about them thorougly , after' which apply a good mulching , and o that it is kept on through the summer. Fine largo currants , nnd lots of thorn , will be the result. A DislrcssiiiK Accident. John II.

The St. Pauls wanted to throw up the sponge at the end of the fifth inning , but Manager .Seelo very properly insisted on their playing the gaipo out. The St. Pauls had their own umpire , Sow ders , and yet they made the worst showing yet. Sowders , however , was strictly impar tial , and if anything favored the Oinalms.

Anderson became disgusted yesterday when the Oinahus pounded out six runs in the sixth inning , and ho retired to left field , where ho immediately distinguished himself by mulling an ensy fly , Ames literally smeared himself over with glory. Five times at the bat , four hits with a total of six b.iscs , three runs , three stolen bas.es aud two put outs is a record nny player might well feel proud of.
