There nro wheels within wheels , and the railroads of Nebraska are trying to turn them all. It is very evident that the railway corporations of the state don't like the order of the state board of transportation reducing freight tariffs. Successful efforts have been madu to induce some of the boards of trade of a. few towns to remonstrate against the order , and recommend its appeal. But all like efforts have not been crowned with suc cess. An effort of this kind was made upon the board of trade of Holdrego by a railroad company recently , but it would not work , as the following letter from the editor of the Semi-Weekly Progress , addressed to the attorney general , will fully evidence : HOLDISEDOB , Nob. , August 2 , 1SSS.

Mr. GriOln , of Omaha , who in the interest of Omalm and the railroads appeared before our board of trade last night , honing to cajole them into passing a resolution requesting the state board of transportation to rescind its order of roduclne freight rates , contended that the voluntary reduction of the roads lust Novem ber averaged 33)tf ) per cent reduction the state over.

Has Nebraska land any value aside from a speculative one , I. e. , the intention of laying It all out In town lots ! If It has a real value , what Is it ? Surely not the inoro ability to produce crops , for to-day in Nebraska land that needs but to bo combed with a harrow , to shed an abundant crop , averaging in wheat twenty-live bushels and in corn sixty bushels , can bo boueht on the easiest terms fo"r $3 per acre. Ah yes 1 Far from markets and railroads , which , tnorefore , determine the value of land. Not at all ; for this land Is within a few niilci of a great trunk railroad , near a , nourishing town and with a market RO much superior to that of eastern Nebraska , that the average price of produce is Just double what it la in the Missouri valluy. Then the people must bo outlaws and desperados and life unsafe. Again a false guess , for school houses abound , churches are built und the people are us. pleasant and cultivated as any- whcrd olso. There is no such laud ns you describe some will say. Let us soo. On August 9 1,500 acres of laqdworosQldat auction 4u.quartcr section lots at Madrid , In Perkins county , Neb. A special excursion train was run from pastern Nebraska. Every aero of land was good and lovcl and much of it was under cultivation showing the richest and most promising cropt. Tnu whole town of Madrid was decorated with hedges of green and and waving corn , most of it twelve feet high/ Festoons of golden shocks of small grain swelled like the Oran- thus capitals of Corinthian columns , and potatoes , beets , caobages and vines formed the minor arrangements of an agricultural display. All those tilings were grown within sight of Madrid , and for miles in every di rection the broad fields stretched , and yet tills land was sold at auction in quarter BOO- tion lots at 5 00 to Sii.O. ) per acre , only one- tenth down and 0 per cent interest on balance. A double crop und a double price awaits every careful farmer in Perkins county , which does not have a poor quarter section in 8,01)0 ) farms. What then determines the value of Ne braska land I The answer is paradoxical. Ignorance 1 and nothing else. Land in Franco is wotth $350 per acre , and is cut up into live acre tracts , but the French peasants do not Know that free homes for the millions await thorn in America. Land in Ohio and Illinois mid Michigan , land that costs a life time of labor to form timber or to drain , sells at j50 to $100 per aero because the mummies do not know that hotter land is to bo had for ncarlv noth ing in Nobnibka. Land in custom Nebraska soils for $30 to $50 per acre , because the pee pie nro too lazy to find out that land equally good in every respect and in most bettor , laud blcsbod with the high priced western market , yin bo had for one-tenth of What it costs to buv near the Missouri valley. Lund in eastern Nebraska is now too high , but land in western Nebraska is scandalously cheap , and those who fall now to secure a slice will rue It when too Into , when the crowd has found out , when this difference , due only to ignorance , has been wiped out , and that day is close at hand. Oxu WHO TH13 TUAVKL1NG MEN'S DAY. A Meeting to Arrange For It Attended.

Congressional Dudes anil tlic Clothes They Wear An Irlsli Domoornl's llcvult Distribution of Mr. MuKinlcy's Great Speed ) . Treatment or the Colored Men. AVAIIIIXOTOX , August 4. [ Special to Tun BKK.J--"I am surprised , " said u prominent colored republican from North Carolina , this afternoon , "that the colored people of this country should bo such fools as to bo in veigled Into tills attempt to injure the repub lican party , and thereby aid Mr. Cleveland's re-elojtion. All this talk about love for the colored brother is the most absurd nonsense that ever was uttered. What has Cleveland done for the negro that ho should aid cither diiectly or indirectly in the re-election of the man who now occupies the white house I Nearly every colored man who filled any of fice of tnist or emolument when Cleveland came In has been dismissed from the service , und white men have been found to fill their places. It is true that Cleveland appointed Mr. Trotter recorder of deeds for the Dis trict of Columbia ; it is true , also , that ho se lected a colored nun to represent this coun try in Hayti , and another as the representa tive of the United States in Liberia , but these latter appointments were madu because no white men would care to fill tlioio places. There are left in the departments in Wash Ington u few colored employes among the laborers , watchmen and spittoon cleaners , but lii many instances even these men have made way tor southern white men who have forgotten their blue blood for the time being , and are willing to accept places on the most insignificant teat on the political udder. "The railways mall service was one of ttio roads open to young colored men during the previous administrations , but the service has been almost entirely relieved from the pres ence of our people. I don't bollovo there are a dozen loft In the United States , and I don't recall the api > oiiltuioiit of a blngle colored man to a place in this service since the pres ent tulministraUpu came in. Then , too , if wo look over the list of postmasters ap pointed wo will find that oven in black com munities wliito men have Invariably been found to fill the places. White men , In fact , nro given a preference in every respect over the colored man , and the patronage which has been doled out to the race is of the most insignificant4 character. This Indianapolis convention Is paid for by the democratic managers. They are trying to alienate the colored vote from the republican party which made the colored men voters , and they have succeeded in finding a few tools who could be purchased to 'Uo their bidding. I do not bollovo that this movement will pay back to the democratic jmrty the money it has cost , for colored people are not the fools they are sometimes bejlcvpd to bo. " There Is no man In congress who has boon more extensively written about than the Hon. Frank Lawler of Chicago. Mr. Law- lor has been the hero of some of the best stories that have over been circulated about congressmen. Ho became famous when ho first came to Washington through the circulation of several yarns In which ho appeared in the most rldiculous'light. One of the best of them was n story to the effect that after having oaten , with a great deal of enjoyment , his first dish of soft shell crabs In company with a friend , ho. tried to secure u fresh supply when alone next day. The story goes that Mr. Lawler entered a res taurant , and , having forgotten the name ol the article for which ho was looking , unO seeing lobsters on the bill of faro thought that must bo what ho wanted , and at once ordered a dozen. The waiter in astonish ment exclaimed , "A dozen , strl" Mr. Law- > ler then saw that ho had made a mistake , but It Is reported in tolling the story after wards that he said bo wiin't going ; ( q let any ngger ] waiter to tell him what ho wanted , Ulll persisted in his order. _ Two ables were spjoad , and the lob sters wore produced. Mr. Lawler tried to cat them In the way ho had the crabs , but found the shells wera somewhat urdor. After having found how to got at the edible portion of the toothsome shcll- ish , ho pitched in and mimngod to got rid of ono and a half , when ho said : "Waiter , I am not as hungry as I thought I was. Bring no n glass of brandy and the bill. " The bill was SI t.50 , and Mr. Lawlor simply re marked : "Is that all i You may keep the change.1' as ho had handed him a twenty. Some of Mr. Lawlor's friends in Chicago who read the story said thov would not be lieve It until they rend the last part , when : hey were convinced by that that Mr. Law ler must have done Just what ho was said to have dono. The latest ono on the Hon. Frank is that some yo.ns ago ho determined to buy ono of Ills boys a drum for a , Christmas present. Ho is not well up on musical Instruments , but inquired the price of a drum and was in formed that the one which ho was looking at was worth $10. "That's rather more than I want to pay. You can give mo one of them half ones for . " > , " and ho pointed to a tara- bnurino which was on the shelf. * * * The varieties of costumes worn by mem- bow of congress In both houses has boon par ticularly marked this summer. The conven tional black suit is almost as much of a rnretv us was an unconventional light ono In the old days , when legislators wore punctilious in the matter of dross. Seersuckers , pongees , alpacas , monairs , und linens are scattered among the tweeds , and casslmeres of all shades and varieties. Flannel shirts and silk garments of the same class nro found more common than white ones. The craze for cool garments is ut Its heighth , and aomo of the gentlemen who are epicures in the matter of dross astonish their associates by the great taste which they display in sel ecting their summer garments. Senator Mitchell , of Oregon , wears n neat cream-tinted suit of thin material , on the order of mohair , which has been ono of the most nttraotlvo in the senate , but Senator Blackburn , of Kentucky , has Just come out with a suit which is moro noticeable than any because of Its novelty. It Is made entirely of flax of a coixrso quality grown on ttio hills of Kentucky. The flax was cut , hacked , spun and woven by hand , and is of that peculiar color between gray and white which Is only found in fibrous material in its raw stato. Senator Blackburn had the cloth sent to him from homo and employed ono of the best tailors In town to make it up. The result is that ho has n suit of clothes which cannot bo readily dupli cated , and which is luxurious In its coolness. It is a garment purely of home manufacture , In which no foreign labor or material has en tered , and several of his senatorial associates have asked the gentleman from Kentucky to secure for them a supply of the cloth from which the suit Is made , in order that they too may demonstrate their devotion to homo products. It is not likely , however , that many suits of this kind will bo seen in Wash ington this year. * * Everyone who paid any attention to the congressional debate of the Forty-eighth congresses will remember readingtho denun ciations of Great Britain which were uttcrca by an Irish-American member , who always managed to occupy a front scat near the speaker's desk. This member was "Ulcho- lieu" Hoblnsou. who represented ono of the Brooklyn districts for three terms , Kobln- son is an old manwith a smooth-shaven face , and a mane of white hair , which ma'lo him n prominent figure in the house whenever ho arose to his feet. Ho never missed an op portunity to twist the British lion's tall , and persistently and consistently opposed every attempt at legis'atlon which might bo con strued us giving the British nuy advantage whatever In the United States. Mr. Robinson was in the city this week , and was , naturally , subjected to a number of interviews as to his political preferences. Ho has always been a democrat , yet ho Is not a and diplomatic standpoint , and his friends assort that ho has about made up his mind to oppose there-election of the man whoie ad ministration Is noted for Its truckling policy towards the British foreign office. Mr. Hobinson is at present engaged In writing a work on the Irish In America. He Is an old- tlmq journalist , havln'g been the Washington correspoQ1' \ hero before the war and & writer of prominence in the old days for the Tribune and other great papers. If Mr. Hobinson comes out for the repub lican ticket , as ho is expected to do , as ho can command at least 2,000 followers who will be likely to step with him from the free trade plunk in the democratic platform to : hat republican plank which means so much : o foreign born citizens who come to Amer ica to better their condition , and not to aid in the establishment of British commercial theories in Uio confines of the United States * * * It is estimated that 500,000 copies of Major McKInley's speech have already boon printed in Washington. On Monday 25,000 copies were sent to Indianapolis. It is ono of the oldest arguments in favor of the doctrine of protection which was ever delivered on the lloor of congress and it is so convincing in its logic that democrats who have roadit have , in several instances , admitted that they can not longer support the free trade idea of the Mills clique. The speech is being translated into German , and the gentleman who is en gaged in the work said to mo to-night : "I have always been n democrat. When I read the speech I was convinced of the folly of longer training with u party which advocates free trade , however , that central idea may bo disguised in misleading phrases. I have road the speech all through and I have never before read an argument which is so forceful in every point it discusses. " W * It begins to look as though at least two of the great New York newspapers had cancer crnnks employed. The recent an nouncement that Mr. Kami fill was doomed to death and that his fatal malady was cancer in the stomach has recalled the fact that during the last two years about twenty of the leading men of the country have boon reported by these papers as having cancers in the stomach , und being on the rapid road to eternity. It was onlv five or six months ago that ono of the New York papers gave prominence tea a special from .this city stating that Senator Joseph Blackburn of Kentucky , had cancer of the stomach , and that ho had gone homo to die. Blackburn returned to Washington a few days later looking as tough us a knot , and convinced his friends that the report was pure fabrication. Jt developed that the statement was based upon a Jesting observa tion made by the senator to ft woman friend ono day. They were talking about the news papers having u panic of cancers in the stomach among prominent men when the senator from Kentucky replied that ho was suffering from ono himself. The woman seemed to think it was n very serious mat ter and convo\ed the secret to a friend who was n newspaper concspondent , and so the report went. It has several times boon announced that Speaker Carlisle had a cancer in his stomach ach , and Senator Ingalls and three or four of the old members of the house , M well as Secretary Bayard and the president , have Imd u whole bushel of cancers in the stomach ach , according to the newspaper reports dur ing the last twelve or fifteen months. It is said that cancers of tno stomach are some times superinduced by excessive stimulation , and whenever a Ktatesman gets "under the weather" ho is Immediately reported In Washington to have ono of these troubles gnawing at his vitals. * It was a very casual observation a thought which originated in the mind of a single in dividual that led to the nomination of Allen G. Thurman for the vice-presidency. About the the 1st of May four or five gentlemen were taking lunch In ono of the leading cafes of this city. During the conversation the question of who would bo nominated with Mr. Cleveland nt St. Louis was discussed. After nil those present had expressed their views , and a majority had predicted the nomination of Governor Gray , 6f Indiana , Nick Bull , superintendent of the foreign mail service , said : "If the democrats are ns wise as they should bo they will make ttiolr ticket read Grovcr Cleveland und Allen G. Thurman. Wo need u man wno will give character to the ticket and whoso name will bo n shlbo- loth in the campaign. The red bandana would be n war cry worth the rally. " There were some grunts and comments made on the suggestion , but no ono took It with any seriousness. The next day Mr. Boll met Jules Guthorldgo , correspondent of the Now York Herald , and told him that ho could give him a good piece of news. Nick lias no scruples against enlarging on a mat ter of this kind , and ho told Jules that there was a conference on the night before at which wore eovera ) prominent federal Offi cers , and that the name of Thurman was KUggested ns a candidate for the vlco presi dency , and that ho was the favorite of the administration. Ho told the correspondent to take the clue and make an Item with proper embellishments. Gutherldgo did so , and duplicated the dispatch to the San Francisco Examiner. Thurman's name was familiar on the Pacific slope , owing to his prominence In creating the present laws af fecting the debt of the Pacific railroads and other interests located in the far west. The San Francisco paper published the dispatch with great promini { once , und made comments upon it which i ! , spread throughout the Pacillo slope , and 1m- VJ f mediately there was an agitation and a Thurman organization. The Now York Herald was taken UD by the press ossoola * ' i lions and sent over tho" country , and from . . * 1 that little spark there grow n great name. In * * loss than n week the matter was spoken of at a cabinet meeting , and Secretary Whitney told about it in a very serious manner. Ho h was asked to look into the suggestion and report - port upon the advisability of Inviting Mr. Thurman to take the nomination. Hcpro- sontatlvo Outhwaito.who lives at Thurman'n homo , saw the reports In the newspaper ! and wrote a letter to Mr. Thurman. asking A H him if ho would accept the nomination. Before - & > ! fore a reply was received the Thurmrn boom w. i grow so heavily that , it was beyond the con trol of the Old Roman , The Pacific slope was organized , and the result is very well Vj i ! known. There have been many men nomt \ inatcd for positions of about the same prom3 I incnco upon quite as slight provocation , how ever. . PERKY S. HEVTO. What Might bo Called Hot Wonthnr. "Is it over hot on the lako'i" ' queried a Detroit reporter yesterday of an old 1 captain who was fanning himself in the v , shade of a coal pile. * "Hot ! is it ? Well , you are fresh. | Why , young man , If I should tell you how high I have soon the mercury go down on Lake Erie you'd call me a liar ! " The reporter hinted that no man of sense would over think of questioning a mariner's word , and the captain con tinued : "I rome mbor the summer of 165S. I ailed the Orphan Girl that season. On 1 the 18th of July wo were becalmed with f a Hoot about midlako. Hot ! Oh , nol J By 10 o'clock in the morning the mor I cury marked 125 ° in the shade , and wo were loaded with Ice at that ! " "Is it possible1' "By noon wo had put out seven o * eight spontaneous fires , and the anchors were then so hot wo had to drop 'em over to cool 'em. There wore eight vessels of us , and wo dropped about the bamo time. " "Yes ? " "Well , sir , the result was boiling hot water all around us for half an hour. Wo captured over ono hundred fish which were nicely boiled. It was very lucky for us , as the heat of the sun had molted our cook steve , and wo should have gone hungry. Is it hot out on the lake ?
