Unalterably Opposed to Proxies.
CHUTE , Neb. , May 21. To the Editor of
Tin : HKI : : In response to your Inquiry , I beg
leave to state that I am In accord with the
uctlon of the conference resin-cling proxies.
Some twelve years ago I Introduced the
resolution nt n meeting of the central com-
thlttee which has since been appended to
every state republican call for a convention ,
viz. : that no proxies should bo recognized ex
cept such ns were licld by persons residing In
the counties where the delegate was elected.
3'rlor to that time certain men had been in
the habit of gathering up proxies for several
counties and the unorganized territory. The
resolution stopped that evil. But of late
years other evils have crept In which should
no remedied. When county conventions , by
nearly u unanimous vote , have Instructed
delegates to the state convention to support a
certain candidate , wo have seen the instruc
tions brazenly violated and the people
instead of being fairly represented
liavo been woefully misrepresented. I
think the committee should recommend
that no proxies be recognized , but that tbo
duly elected delegates present should bo em
powered to cast the entire vote of the delega
tion. While this would avoid the evils above
named It would work no Injury to nuy county
in the state.
As to an early convention. That is n ques
tion susceptible of an honest difference of
opinion. 1 do not believe the republican par
ty is afraid of an early convention , neither
should it nominate men who cannot stand the
test of a long campaign or the most clrcum-
Bpect Investigation or criticism. In my opin
ion July S Is too early a date. It would entail
too much time and expense upon the candi
dates ; it would throw us into a needless polit
ical campaign almost in midsummer.of almost
four months duration , which would more or
less infringe upon the regular routine of busi
ness. It strikes mo that a convention held
the middle of would bo "
August an "curly con
vention , " nml ought to satisfy the crav
ing of the most ambitious politician or the
most fastidious farmer in the state. While
in the main I nm fully in sympathy with the
views entertained by the leaders of the so-
called anti-monopoly conference and believe
the coiiimlttuo should seek advice and council
from true and tried republicans , I do think
that , In the implied threat in the resolution ,
the conference arrogated to itself n power
which exceeds any authority which said con
ference over received from the people whom
It claims to represent. I believe the commit
tee is fully aware of the sentiment of the
l-.mk and llle of the party and is wise enough ,
jditriotic enough , and has the interest of the
HUCCOSS of the party close enough to its heart
to call a convention at a reasonable and a
ncnsemiblo time , without being placed in the
iittltude of being an enemy of the people or
roerced by a threat of some men who are no
toriously noted us having been standing can
didates for some ufUco in near ! v every county ,
Btalo and congressional convention. I am ,
respectfully yours , II. M. WELLS.
Favors im ISarly Convention.
NonroLK , Neb. , May 21. To the Editor of
Tun Bin : It Is difficult for mo to express in
concise manner my vievs ; on the action taken
l > y the anti-monopoly convention at Lincoln.
In my judgment it may result in great good
to the republican party , or may bo fraught
with great danger , and result in disaster , at
least temporarily.
Having boon with the minority in the
"Hustings" convention last fall , and feeling
perhaps ns keenly us any one our defeat , I
nm not nt a loss to understand the causes
which led to the calling of the conference at
Lincoln. Such n conference , it occurs to me ,
might with propriety bo called at any time ,
and perhaps if the body of republicans in the
state met more frequently and consulted to
gether fully , fairly and honestly , with a pur
pose of correcting evils in the party , great
peed would ho accomplished in the purillca-
tion of our state politics.
The difllculty. however , which I anticipate
might arise , would bo In attempting to ac
complish personal ends and transforming
such conferences called avowedly for public
xvenl into caucuses in the interests of umbi-
tious politicians.
I am not pleased with the action of the
conference with reference to the calling of u
convention for the reason that it savors of
the revolutionary. Good republicans will al
ways bow with submission to the will of the
majority ,
1 am in favor of nn early convention and
lieing a member of the state central committee -
too shall favor an early call. But if for any
reason the committee should fail to comply
with the demands of the conference It could
rertiilnly ho productive of no ultimate good
for u self appointed committee to issue a call
which no good republican would recognize ,
find which , If recognized , would only place n
third ticket In the Jlcld and render the elec
tion ot n democratic ticket not only possible
but extremely probable ,
The republican party has always oeen
found great enough to correct evils within
itself. Instead , therefore , of disrupting the
party by the proposed course , it would bo in-
llnltoly more desirable and productive of
much more good if the great body of the
people of republican [ initiations would arise
in their might and assume control of the
party and through the proper channels secure
the nomination and election of men to the
various ofllces of the state who will correct
existing evils ns far ns may bo. This can bo
done if the electors will attend the primaries
und select delegates who will represent them.
As to the question of denying the right of
representation by proxy , I hnvo some doubt
tw to the expediency of an arbitrary rule of
that character.but I have no doubt that many
of the evils of the proxy system would bo
overcome by thu selection of alternates.
Yours for republicanism ,
D. A. HOLMES.
The KcsolutloiiH Demand Kospcot.
YOKK , Neb. , Mny 21. To the Editor of TUB
UKIS : Whllolhavo given llttlo thought to
the question of nn early convention , I believe
that thooplnlons of the men who met In Lin
coln on the 20th should bo respected as far as
the Interests of the party will admit. It may
have boon good policy for thorn to attempt to
force the republican central committee 'by
throats of nn independent convention , but It
wits not republican , and in my opinion , will
, iirt | have as much ( nllucnee with the counult-
Uv as the sections which preceded It.
Kxpei-lencohas taught us that proxies are
dangerous to the Interests of the people and
, ttiu party. A proxy feels no responsibility to
the Constituency which Mioso his principal ,
urn ! actually represents no one but himself in
, too convention. lam heartily In sympathy
with that portion of the resolutions which op-
IHksea the admission of proxies.
The object of the state central committee-
hhould be to give all republicans n fair and
'quill opportunity to bo heard in the party
fouiiL'iU audio assist In the selection of party
candidates , and I have no doubt this will be
the aim of the committee.
T. E. SEDOWICK.
In Accord with the Resolutions.
OMAHA , Nob. , May 21. To the Editor of
the HUB ; In reply to yours of May 23d , do-
alrlng my views on the action taken by the
unti-iuonopoly republican conference In i < cgard
to the resolutions on proxies , and nn curly
convention , I will say :
At the lust republican convention in Doug
las county I advocated a resolution against
proxies , and as u mouiber of the state central
committee I shall vote to exclude proxies al
the next state convention.
I nm also In favor of nn early state convcn-
tlon and expressed my views to that effect In
n letter to Chairman Hlclmnls prior to the
Lincoln conference.
I do not , however , bellcvo In domination bj
cither colorations or Individuals , and I am
not In accord with anything but straight re
publicanism. Yours truly

Avocu , Nob. , May .M. To the Editor ol
TUB I ) KB. Your card asking my views "on
the action taken by the anti-monopoly repub
lican conference- hand.
I am In hearty accord with any movement
In the republican party having the object ol
projNjr regulation of the railroads of thcstatc.
I think , however , the proper way to arrive at
that regulation Is 'through nstato commission ,
chosen by and responsible to I ho people , nml
am In favor of nn amendment to the constitu
tion providing for the same.
The reason I nm in favor of this la that
from my knowledge of the workings of
legislatures I nm satisfied that after giving
the hundreds of bills submitted nt every ses
sion the consideration which is necessary to
protect the interests of their constituents ,
there Is not time enough left to master the
details and technical knowledge necessary
for doing Justice In nn Intelligent manner be
tween the people and 'the railroads. A com
mission , well paid and personally responsible ,
would bo able after u reasonable time to bring
to the problem that mastery of the question
Which Its magnitude demands.
In regard ' to proxies , I think wo might
safely try the cxiwrimcnt of leaving them out
this year nt least , The editor of Tin : BIK :
knows I have no personal reason to admire
them.
In regard to nn early convention I have
been In favor of a reasonably early date ,
enough to give ample time for the canvass of
the abilities and trustworthiness of the can
didates. I think , however , the conference
mndo n mistake in its resolution demanding u
date not later than July 8 , and coupling its
demand with a threat of calling a suite con
vention if the central committee should for
any reason fall to cull the convention by that
time.
In the first place I have farmed In Nebraska
long enough to know that for actual farmers
that or an earlier date would be as inconven
ient ns could possibly bo picked out just in
harvest time"when a farmer is almost com
pelled to give his time and attention strictly
to his business , so that I should fear from
the masses a - - small attendance at the
primaries.
Secondly , the conference was , as I under
stand it , In thu interest of the republican
party , and I think , however great my respect
for the gentlemen composing it , that , upon no
theory of which I can conceive they had the
right to say that in ease the constituted
authorities of that party , for whatever
reason , should fall to call a convention nt a
certain date ( and that date , to say the loust ,
of questionable propriety ) , that they , self-
constituted , should proceed to act for the
party.
I should like to see the convention called
at n time that would bo the most convenient
to the men who work ; any time will suit the
other people.
I should like It to bo composed of thought
ful , earnest men who have ttio welfare of the
state , and not altogether their personal ad
vancement , at heart , and 1 should like it to
nominate moil who will command tun confi
dence of the people and receive a good ma
jority , Cor I believe the republican party Is
the people's friend , and within its ranks all
true rctorms will be carried to a full fruition.
ORLANDO TEITT.
Will Heck Information.
GxntcoTT , Neb. , May 23. To the Editor of
Tin : BKK : My views relative to the action of
the anti-monopoly conference are simply
these :
That the republican party is and has been
composed of men who have had , and still
have , the general welfare of the musses in
view , and that history of our state for the
last twenty years will record tbo fact ; that
such interests have been reasonably well pro
tected and cared for , consequently my faith
in the deliberations of our party has not
abated in the least.
Further , the present republican state com
mittee was selected by a convention that rep
resented the party and so far as I am cojfe.
corned when they meet Juno ! , I huk-o confi
dence in in their ability to determine whether
it is to the best interest of the party to hold
an early or late convention , irrespective of
the interests of any would-be candidate for
governor , or any other state office.
As n member of said committe I shall make
nn effort to gain all the Information I can in
the matter pertaining to what in mv estima
tion would bo to the best interest of the people
ple in general and to our party in particular ,
avoiding the advancement of any candidate
for ofllco and will govern my notions in accordance -
cordance to the above statement of principles.
Respectfully yours. II. C. D.VWSON.

BLUB HILLS , Neb. , May 20. To the Editor

accord with the resolutions as to proxies , and
Australian ballot system of voting. I can see
10 reason for or against an early convention.
I am just now interested in good crops , fall-

see the republican party carry out their

ception committee started for Highland Park
nddltlo , one-half mile distant. After driving
"through the principal streets Highland park
was reached and there Judge G. G. Bowman ,
on behalf of the citizens of Columbus , tendered
u hearty welcome to the visitors. Ho said the
citizens of Columbus hud taken up a new life ,
after having been content to stand by and see
others forgo ahead. Columbus needed fac
tories , foundries , wholesale houses , etc. ; it
also needed the experience and zeal of Omaha
people to put into these new enterprises , and
especially Omaha money , as Columbus offered
facilities unexcelled , being located In one of
the most beautiful valleys of the world.
Mark A. Upton , vice president of the
Omaha real estate exchangeton behalf of tno
visitors , responded. Ho said the visitors
came to "spy the land , " ns it were ; there

started keep outdoing. Ho advised Colum
bus not to do as other towns were boasting
of not owing a dollar if you have 110 debt
you have nothing else , usually.

Moore explained the situation of the property
and the company's methods of disposing of
it , the visitors returned to Hotel .Fleming of
which E. A. Fleming , formerly of Omaha , is
proprietor , and cnjoved their noonday meal.
After dinner the ladies in the party took ad
vantage of Landlord Fleming's hospitality
and lounged about the hotel , while the gen
tlemen attended the sale of Highland park
lots. The tremendous winds prevented many
from viewing the city as they had wished.
Columtms presented a holiday appearance ,
all the business houses and many residences
being nicely decorated with bunting , flags ,
etc.
etc.Tho Sunday issue of the Columbus Tele
gram , printed on tinted paper , was distrib
uted on the train on the way hero and
afforded interesting reading matter to many
of the excursionists.
Columbus is situated ninty-two miles wrst
of Omaha on the Union Pacific and U. & M.
railroads ; it has three Union Pacific branch
roads , as well as the Atchison branch of tb
B. & M. ; has thirty-live trains daily ; a popu
lution of nearly live thousand ; n numbcrj '
foundries and factories , including two largo
flouring mills , u windmill , . planing mill and
boot and shoo factories ; the only wooden
shoo factory in the state , and it cannot begin
to supply tlio demand. It has a line electric
light system and water works plants , ns well
as a national bank and two state bamcs ; four
first class and four second class hotels ;
seven churches ; one dully and three weekly
newspapers ; four school buildings , as well as
one of the largest creameries in the state.
The special train , having on board the ex
cursionists , left for Omaha at 8 o'clock ,
Omaha parties having purchased forty-eight
lots in Highland park.

\ VASIIIXOTONMny 27. In the senate today
Mr. Allison presented n remonstrance from
cltl/cns of Burlington , In. , against imposing
duties on ores from Mexico.
Mr. Spooner called up the motion to con
sider the passage of a bill Introduced some
weeks ago to pay $10,000 to Margaret Ken
ncdy for supplies talcen for the use of tin
army. The bill was indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Cullom offered u resolution calling on
the secretary of the treasury for information
ns to the authority under which merchandise
in bond , appraised or unappraised , and goods
of domestic origin are permitted to bo for
warded between the Atlantic and Pacific
ports of the United Slates over the Canudlan
Pacific railroad , etc. ; also to report by what
authority merchandise other than the pro
ducts of contiguous countries is permitted to
enter the United States under consular seal
and proceed to Its destination without entry
or examination at the port of ilrst arrival.
There was , ho said , evidence of Irregularities
and Unit the country was probably losing
some of its revenue. The resolution went
over until tomorrow.
The sunato then resumed consideration of
the Imported liquor bill , the question being
on the substitute reported yesterday from the
Judiciary committee.
Mr. ( Joke argued against the constitutional
right of congress to delegate its delegated
powers back to the states.
Mr. George supported the bill.
Mr. Eustis said the question was a perplex
ing one. The difllculty arose in the attempt
to reconcile the conllict between the rights of
property under the constitution and the laws
and that moral sentiment known us prohibi
tion. Today It was proposed to legislate
against the breweries and the distilleries of
the country. It was proposed to tell
the people of Iowa that they shall
have power to regulate commerce be
tween themselves and all other states
on the liquor question. Tomorrow they
would be asking for the exclusion of cotton
seed oil , of which the state of Louisiana pro
duced u large amount In value. They they
would be asking that dressed beef from Illi
nois and tobacco from North Carolina should
not bo considered an article of commerce
within the meaniiiRof the constitution. "And
thus power would bo given to each state to
build on its exterior limits an impenetrable
wall that should exclude the product of every
foreign country and of every other state. "
The pending bill could not become a law with
the help of his vote. Ho was a state's right
democrat of the strictest sort and was in
favor of the states exercising to an unlimited
extent the rights which they had reserved ;
but the powers which they had lodged in the
federal government , and lodged wisely , ho
wanted the federal government to exercise
exclusively.
After fui ther debate the bill went over
without action.
Mr. Wilson of Iowa gave notice that he
would ask the senate to remain in session to
morrow uuMl the bill was disposed of.
The vice president announced the appoint
ment of Mr. Ulackburn as a member of the
committee on appropriations and of Mr. Car
lisle as a member of the committees on
linancc , territories and woman suffrage.
The conference report on the bill to simplify
the law in relation to the collection of revenue
was presented and agreed to.
After an executive session the senate ad
journed.
House.
WASIIIXOTOX , Mny 27. In the house today
Mr. McKlnley submitted the conference re
port on the customs adminjstratiyi bill.
Mr. McMillin , one of thtfconfci'tV'Ojsiiid ' ho
had declined to agree to the report for the
reason that lie believed the bill would in
crease taxation.
Mr. McKlnly said the measure was sub
stantially the bill remodeled by the secretary
of the treasury during the last three adminis
trations , and that its provisions were practi
cally the same as those contained in the.
Mills bill. It was a bill not to increase the
rates of duty , but to prevent frauds upon the
revenue ami to protect the honest merchant
and honest importer against the dishonest
Importer and the dishonest consider anil dis
honest consignee. The conference report
was adopted yens , 127 ; nays , 13 , the speaker
pro teiu counting a quorum. The democrats
refrained from voting ,
The house then went into committee of the
whole on the river and harbor appropriation
bill.
Mr. IIoulc of Tennessee offered an amend
ment providing that .lohn Cowden and asso
ciates may , on certain conditions , at their
own expense , construct an outlet for the
Hood waters of the Mississippi river from a
point about ten miles below New Orleans to
the Gulf of Mexico , through Lake Borgne , on
such lands as they may own or acquire. Such
outlet to uo not less than one mile in width ,
with an average cross sectional depth of ten
feet below the gulf level and suf-
lieient capacity to discharge the Hood waters
of the Mississippi river at that place , and to
bo provided with proper levees or embank
ments from the river to the lake to preserve
the lands immediately above and below it
from inundation. Mr. Honk in advocating
Ills amendment said the outlet would not cost
the government 1 cent until it had been put
into operation and proved to bo successful.
After a brief discussion the amendment was
lost without a division.
Mr. Holmau of Indiana offered subst.ui-
tlally n similar amendment , but It was also
rejected.
Mr. McCrenry raised a point of order
against these portions of the bill which pro
scribed u penalty for the maintenance of ob >
Rtrurlivo bridges across navlg-iblo water * .
Pending decision the committee rose and the
house adjourned.

Willing to buck Billy Meyers against Jack

Bowen was six pounds lighter than Meyers
and hadn't been heralded for n couple of
years throughout the country ns a world

he may well afford to bo natisfled with : i
match for a reasonable stake with Jimmy
Lindsay of Omaha or Louis Bozitmh of Cin

have seen him light , Is good enough to go
against any of them and would have been way

The United States Official Investigation
Of Baking Powders , made , under authority of Congress , by the Chemical
Division of the Department of Agriculture , Washington , D. C. , and
recently completed , furnishes the highest authoritative information
r.s to which is the best baking powder. The Official Report
Shows the Royal Baking Pow
der to be a cream of tartar baking
powder , superior to all others in
strength and leavening power
The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure , made from the most
wholesome materials , and produces finer flavored , sweeter , lighter , more
palatable , wholesome and delicious bread , biscuit , cake , pastry , etc. , than
any other baking powder or leavening agent.
Being of greater strength than any other baking powder , it is also
the most economical in use.
These great qualities warrant you , if you are not .using the Royal
Baking Powder , in making a trial of it.
