Mr. Mclvelghan succeeded In holding the
attention of the crowd for two hours ami n
half. Instead of discussing the Issues of the
day , as would have been expected , the
greater part of the time was duvotod to de
nouncing Mr. Harlaa und the republican
party , pronouncing a .panegyric upon
hiimcir and telling how faithfully ho
hod labored in the Interests of the laboring
classes for the past twenty years , and that ,
too , outside of thu ranks of cither of the
old parties. IIo wished to con
vey the impicssion that ho had
tiovcr been a democrat , but for some
reason forgot to explain why ho accepted the
nomination for congress at the hands of that
party four years ago. Mr. Alclvcighan proved
himself to bu a rloso student of the bible , anil
referred to that portion of sacred history
wherein the Lord commanded the Israelites
to borrow vast amounts of golden treasure of

valuables , Intimating by dark insinuations
that such n mode of distribution of.tho wealth
of our nation might bo approved by the Lord

Been along the whole route. In many fields
the cars were protrudlncr from the busies ,
nnd there was every Indication that the cars
had filled to the end of the cob. Occasionally
a light ileld of corn was seen , but this was
owing to poor cultivation. Your representa
tive Ilnds on close inquiry of the farmers and
business men that the corn ciop Is going
to bo a good crop compared with Unit of
the past ten years. Many Holds will yield
from thlrty-flvo to fifty-live bushels per acre ,
nnd with the present prices the farmers will
realize inoro from their corn than for several
years.
Wheat nnd oats are an excellent crop in
tins valley until you reach several miles be
yond Norfolk.Yhcat so far is yielding from
fifteen to twenty-five bushels of No. 1. Some
Holds have yielded thirty bushels.
Oats , the best for years , are averaging from
thirty to sixty bushels of No. 1. Hay is a
good average crop.
The potato crou is short and prices will bo
high before spring.
Farmers naa everybody clso say this Is
going to bo ono of the best years ilnancially
'in northwestern Nebraska they have had fern
n long time. The crops have never failed in
this part of the atnto. Farmers and all other
, classes realize that they are the most favor
ably located in the west.

PENSIONS AND LAND PATENTS
An Interview with General Eujsey of the
Interior Department ,
A DEFENSE OF COMMISSIONER RAUM ,
Some Pointers for Intending Settlers
Hon. J. U. Weaver Concludes to
Liecllncthn Democrat IcNoin-
Inatloti for Congress.
Dis Moixc' , la. , August 01. [ Special to
ftm BBC. ] General CyrusUusscy , assistant
. ccretary of the Interior , has been spending
'several days with his daughter , Mr. Isaac
L. Iltllo , In this city. "When asked In re
gard to the charges made against General
Knum , the commissioner of pensions. Gen
eral Bussey did not hesitate to say that the
commissioner was all right.
"General Ilauin , " ho said , "is not only ono
of the most ofllclcut but most faithful em
ployes of the government. There Is no man
'for whom I have n bigger respect ; no man
onnectcd with the administration feels more ,
toply the responsibilities that rest upon
him. The alleged charges I predict will como
to naugh. There Is no foundation to any of
them , except the discontent of u few and the
natural Inclination of others to do or say
something to embarrass the ndmlniitratlon.
"Tho business of < the ponton department
has crown bovond nil comprehension. The
department is Hooded with matters nnd everyone
ono thinks his own case the important ono
demanding immediate attention. The em
ploys as well us the commissioner realize
that the petitions are , many of them , urgent ,
nnd nro doing all they can to push them. The
petitions now pending under the old law nro
about r > 00,000 , and under the now law , slnco
Juno 27 , over four hundred thousand petitions
hnvo becu filed. The pieces of wall received
nt the department are fully 100,000 per week.
It can readily bo seen that it requires an
enormous amount of work to open nnd handle
all of that mall. These WW.OOO petitions do
not repicscnt that many different applicants.
Many who applied under the old lawliavo ap
plied under the now also , mid many who are
now receiving pensions are applicants for an
increase.
"After consultation with mo , General
Haum some time ago dceldud upon the plan
called completed Ules. I thlilk it Is an excel
lent way of disposing of tlu petitions , and
ono that Insures absolute Impartiality. There
are now 115,000 of these completed llles and
they will bo disposed of as rapidly as possible
and In the order they were completed. As
soon as a petitioner asks to have his case
placed In this iilo the papers nro examined ,
nnd if his case Is complete it is placed there :
If not , hois notified of the fact. The eases
are adjudicated not in the order of the tiling
of the claims , but in the order tlio ( lies are
completed. This often causes complaint , no
doubt. Two men applying at the same time-
one may got his pension a month or oven u
year before the other , and the delayed claim
ant complains. As n matter of fact the do-
paitmont Is not to blame. The cases nro be-
lligndjudlented nt the rate of about GOO per day.
"In n few days , as I salU , wo will have 450
additional clerks and then matters will bo
pushed more rapidly , but oven then wo will
not bo able to cntvh up or keep up with the
business. The pcoplo must have patience.
The old soldiers have waited a long whilo'
but I assure them that Commissioner Haum
is tlosirous of nothing so much as to adjudi
cate their claims as soon as possible. I have
every confidence in General Haum , und so
have all who know him. "
Another thing upon which Oencnil Bussey
was ( luostioncd was the undelivered land
paieuisiiowm uio department uovnsuiug -
toii. "It is true , " he said , "that there nro at
the present time about two hundred and fifty
thousand of thcso patents In the vaults of the
government. We nro anxious to get rid of
them , as they nro In the wav and necessitate
trouble and expense in keeping them. But wo
cannot deliver them until the rightful claim
ants demand them. I advise those who have
not their patent to apply to the department
at Washington direct. All that is wanted Is
evidence that the claimant is the owner of
the land described. The receipt of llnnl pay
ment from the register of tlio land ofllco is
such evidence , if this is lost wo want such
evidence as will satisfy us that the claimant
Is entitled to the patent. It need cost the
farmer nothing to obtain these patents.
"The impression that without the patent
the landowner is not secure In his possession
Is wrong. As a matter of fact the patent is
not essential to possession. I think it is well
for the owner to bo in possession of the gov
ernment patent , but I would not have him
think that hi1) possession Is In any way endan
gered because ho has not the patent. His
title is secuio without the government patent
nnd the government patent in the hands of
another would not give him possession of the
lauds. If the farmers want them they will
have no trouble in obtaining them direct from
the department. "
Weaver Declines.
DBS MOIXES , la. , August 31. [ Special
Telegram to TUB BDK. ! A letter was pub
lished this morning from General J. B.
Weaver In which ho declines tlio democratic

was held in this city which resulted in the
nomination of Senator Ilarnett. His own
name was withheld from that conference , ho
says , by his request , and ho could not con
sistently accept the nomination from another

A. Sohcino to Connect lionR Island
*
with New Jersey
Nmv YOIIK , August 31. Krastus Wlmnn
has long cherished the Idea of n tunnel to con
nect Long Island with the great trunk lines
lu New Jersey. Several months ago ho Incor
porated the Stntcu Island and New Jersey
Junction railroad , to extend six miles from
the Arthur Kill bridge straight across n ra
vine of Stnten Island to n point nbovo Vort
Wndsworth. A few days tijjo , under the gen
eral laws of the state of Now York , ho got
the same charter modified so as to provide for
nn extension of the road In the form of n. tun
nel under the bay to Bay HIdgo at n point be
low Oowanuj bay , near Fortieth street ,
South Brooklyn.
Mr. Wlmuii said last night that ho had
plenty of capital to push the project. It will
bo furnlsheu by Clcrman bankers of this city
the moment the support of the railroads on
Long Island Is obtained. Ono or two rail
roads , ho said , had offcicd to make n connec
tion with the tunnel at Gowanus bay and
handle all the freight which might como
through , hut ho had not Interested the Long
Island railroad yet. nor others which
would bring the freight into easy reach
of the business poitlon of Brooklyn.
ThU is necessary before Mr. Wiuian'a
backers will como to the front. Mr.
Wlmnn said that many Brooklyn business
men had hulled the scheme with rejoic
ing , and without doubt n railroad company
which might bo organl/cd to connect the
eastern end of the tunnel with the Brooklyn
bridge and thu navy yard would have nodltll-
culty in fretting necessary franchises from
the city. The charters of the dummy line
along Third avenue nnd several other lines ,
ho s.lid. ( ' ( lulil rn.idllv bn nytnnclml t/i Im-lmln
the necessary privileges.
Mr. Wlmnn sees In his mind's ' eye a road
skhtlng the eastern shore of the Kast river
from Gowanus bay up to Astoria , whuro a
tunnel connection with the Now York , Now
Haven & Hartford railroad would afford n
continuous railroad line from Boston to the
southwest , saving Brooklyn from the expense -
ponso aud bother of using floats. But. Mr.
Wlimm personally Is Interested only in the
Statcn Island railroad and tuuncl project.

A Tjettor from Dr. A. S. MaiiHlVlilo of
the > tntc Median ! Association.
Qini.m HIM. , ASIILIXD , August 27. To
the Editor of Tin : DIB : ! I would not hnvo
noticed several discrepancies in nn interview
had with Omaha physicians by your reporter
and published In tlio issue of Tin : Bins of
August JJi ) , If Mr. 1'dward llosow.itcr himself
was not cognizant of thcso jiilsstntcmcnts.
In the llrst plneo , efforts to pass a bill
through our legislature to establish a state
board of health and n board of mcc1lc.il cx-
iiminers have not been made for the last fif
teen or twenty years , to thokuowledgoof Mr.
Roscwater and myself , nnd I think both of us
have been actively at work to pass such a law
for the last seven or eight sessions.
These measures , c.\ccptlng that of 1S31 ,
which is lame aud wcak-kncod , were not de
feated because the doctors disagreed , but because -
cause tlio legislatures saw no reason for their
enactment.
That the statements of the homccopnthlo
gentlemen nro unfounded In saving : "Hut
the efforts havo. been frustrated by the dis
agreement of the two schools of medicine as
to the number of homcoopulhlsts that were
to bo on the bo.ird. The old school physi
cians hnvo not been willing to grant us any
thing HUe nu oven division of the board.
* * * I bcllovo that these should be a
board of eight , with s.iy four nllopathiits ,
three homcupathists and ouo eclectic. "
The gentleman hns a right to his belief ,
but is ft Just ?
The only enumeration over made of the
physicians in this state was by your corro-
spoudent , who found , in tlio year 1S31 , after
the passage of the law of registry , 150 10 -
ular physicians , sixty-seven eclectic gradu
ates and lifty homoeopathic graduates upon
the registry hooks of the different county
clerks In the state. Were the ratio tlio same
today , what would bo the just proportion of
the different schools upon the projected
board say a board of seven ! Five regular
physicians to ono homeopathic aud ono eclec
tic 1 I ask what was the representation
ugrced upon by all schools In house roll No.
170 i Four regulars , two homouopathlsts nnd
one eclectic 1 Was this ratio just or was it
HbernU
Now , whilst there are many more
graduates in the state today than
there were in 1881. still the
ratio of the different schools is not much
changed. Yet , for harmony's snko , the
representatives of the regular school agreed
to the ratio as given in house roll 170 iu
January 18SO and all schools were anxious to
pass that , measure , 'ihey had no dis
crepancies , . no Internecine wars. They all
woiked for that measure and yet It was de
feated. Why ) TJccausa the representative
of the "farmers' combine" in tlio house , n
very prominent republican from Ncmaha
county , ridiculed the measure , when up for
a third reading in the house , us tlio doctors'
trust ! Ills ridijulo killed the bill. May God
forgive him for this act. He certainly did
not know what ho was guilty ot.
Just rend the following , taken from the
statistics above referred to :
Total number of graduates of all schools. 507
Practicing under the ten years' provis
ion of the law , i. o. , miserable tjuaeks
who had carried on their terrible busi
ness for so long , and are permitted to
slaughter mankind to this day 200
Men who had attended one course of lec
tures somewhere 38
Of less than ten years' practice nnd in
open violation of the law 27
Number of fraudulent diplomas found
registered by so many perjured villains 87
Three hundred nnd llfty-clght persons prac
ticing medicine without the slightest knowl
edge of It I Can you , Mr. Editor , imagine
what these llgui-es mo in J Thousands of In
nocent victims slaughtered by lazy hounds
for the sake of a few dollars. Hundreds of
thousands deprived of their health and use
fulness to give sustenance to beings to whom
hyenas nrn models of virtue ; thcso prey only
upon the dead , and an honest endeavor to rid
our beautiful state of these pests Is dubbed a
bill fora "doctor's trust. "
Wo will not succeed in opening the eyes of
the general public to the necessity of h gen
eral war upon quacks tlio state over by l ho
enactment of a law for that purpose until the
work shall bo taken up in earnest all over the
state , , as hns been attempted in Otnalm. Your
physicians nro certainly doing the right thing
and no ono of them should in any way dis
courage the measure , however unsatisfactory
It may seem to him.
They certainly deserve the thanks of the
community , nay of the whole state , if they
rid Omaha of ono quack. I see TUB BKR is
willing and ready , us of old , to do its honest
part In this goodly light. I do not know
whether its work is appreciated at homo , hut
I do know that I for one am most grateful for
its effective ofllcos. Very sincerely yours ,

The forma ! opening of the amusement son
son of 1800-01 occurred last evening nt the
lloyd , the attraction bolng W. T. Oarlcton's
opera company in ( 'Tho Queen's Lace Hand
korehlof , " Strauss' uiot charming comic
OPOlll.
Although the open * hns boon glron um-a u
ber of times In Omaha , there U n particularly
fresh and novel charm about it still , and the
largo audlenco allowed iionoof tlio catch ;
waltzes , the bright solos nnO the concerted
numbers to go by without demanding theh
repetition , notoncr but many tlmrs.
As a rule , the orchestral accompaniment !
nro beautifully written , reflecting the genius
of the ' ' \Vntu \ IClnif , ' ' who has given the
musical world , in "Tho Queen's Luco Hand'
kerchief , " n high standard of operatic excel
lence which might bo of oxceedim * prollt to
many of our more modern composers dlil
they study closely the score of the opera nnd
accept it as a standard of excellence worthy
of emulation.
A special feature of the composition U the
strong nnd sounding phrase , which Is Intro
dncod In the second not , closoi It , nnd also becomes -
comes the llnnto of the third , nllhouuh , U
memory bo not nt fault , It sec-nit to bo
a somewhat hesitating nud tentative step
towards the use of the "leit motif. "
However , It Is free from clap-trap , the li
bretto is consistent with the scone , and "Tho
Queen's Lace Hnndkerchlof" will nlwnvs
have n firm hold upon the public ear und the
public heart.
The company which gave It hns evidently
been carefully coached , and there was less of
friction than ono would expect in a lirst pro
duction , for it was Mr. Catieton's opening , in
well as that of the houso.
Mr. Cailcton , while not nn electrifying nr-
list , Is what Is much hotter , nlwnys pleasing
nnd reliable , aul : his performance of Cervantes
was artistic to a degree , Undoubtedly the
best of his numbers was the Toreador song
from "Carmen , " interpolated in tuo third act
to give a fitting background to hi ? chmnetiT
of a brigand which is tusumcd for the occa
sion ,
No.tt to Mr. Cnrleton the best singer In the
company Is Miss Clara Lane , the sprightly
soubrette of the organization , and s lie la a
wonderfully useful little woman , too. playing
ttio whole gamut of roles lu which oho Is
cast with delicious Intelligence and nn urch-
ness quite Irresistible.
Miss Harriet A very Is one of the new ac
quisitions , and after a moro extended knowl
edge of the requirements of comic opeia will
undoubtedly prove a valuable member of the
Carleton company. Last night , in the role of
the queen , she was ivjrcoptibly nervous in
the earlier scenes , but gradually regained
hcrconfldcnc and finished the performance
very creditably , considering that It was her
second nppenumeo In tbo part.
As tlio king Miss Winston made n very
favorable impression , winning a well deserved -
served encore In the third net by her ren
dition of "Good Nicht , "
For years Miss Winston hai been doing a
round of male parts , and there is no woman
on the operatic stage today , wltli the single
exception of Jessie Unrtlctt Davis , who can
1111 them so completely. She has a rich
me zo soprano voiio which she uses In n
musical manner.
Mr. C. A. Bigelow , the comedian of the
compiny , is an anomoly ; ho is really a first
rate singer , having a pleasant tenor voice
within u nan-owed compass and ho puts Into
thu role of Sancho a humor oulto as unctuous
us tliat given to the Illustrious gentleman
who figured in Don Quixote.
Mr. J. 1C. Murray is ono of the strongest of
Iho Carleton forces. Conscientious and
painstaking to a degree , and a thorough
mist as well , ho can always bo depended
upon fora well rounded portraiture.
While the chorus is not largo it Is reason-
ibly well drilled and contains a number of
3xcellont voices.
Tlio costuming of the opera was superb.
Miss Ollio Iledpath in "Tho Fireman's
Ward" opened u live night engagement at the
3 rand last evening to u very good hou&o. Tito
play is a fascinating story of misfortune , love
aid heroism , arranged to admit some clover
oinody features and specialties. It contains
tire and tank scenes that are quite realistic ,
ind much fun , many catchy songs and good
Inncca. Miss Iledpath dojs good work for a
ittlolndy of thirteen yotM , while her sup-
inrt is to bo commended , many of the parts
iccuring henr'y encores.

' I Had not intended to speak , but as the
occasion is one in which every Irish citizen
who is loyal to the country which guvo him
Ol Ill's HlluuauuT * uuiu auimiu umu [ Ullie , j
cannot help but sav a few words regarding
that patriot , John Boyle O'Keilly ' , who passed
out of this world of sorrow on the 10th of the
present month. He was u man who was held
in universal esteem , not only by his own coun
trymen , but by the lovnl cltuens of every civ-
ill7Cd nation on the facu of the globo. He was
n staunch Catholic. Whether they were Jews
or Gentiles , Catholics or Protestants , there
were no exceptions , all appreciated thu ex
ample of his life. Those who did hate him
have been obliged to pay him respect
und ncknov/lcdgo that ho wits a kind , Chris
tian gentleman , Kvon the preachers nnd
priests have taken the llfo of the departed
ouo for their texts. And that Is the kind of
nmnn that John Boyle O'Kellly was when Uo
was upon the earth.
"I was not born upon the 'Quid SoJ,1 but
nevertheless my sympathies nro with Ireland
und I love her as I do my native land
Amoiica.
"O'licllly's example was ono that any man
might bo proud to follow , and I hellovo K the
course ho outlined li pursued It will not bo
many years before Ireland will bo free und n
house of parliament will bu scon on Dublin
Green. "
John Hush of Omahn said :
"It seems H Iran go to bo here today to do
honor to the memory of a felon , for such John
