nur.WEns AND MALTSTCUS W.VXT row : IIBHII.
The brewers nnd maltsters of the country
nro Involved In n struggle over the pending
bills to prevent the adulteration of beer.
Two of those bills nro before the ways ana
means comtnltteonnd thu representatives of
the maltsters are trying to secure favorable
notion. The maltsters are contending
for pure baer because It means
un increased sale of pure mall ,
They say thnt most of the beer now mudo
contains glucose , corn , rlco and sUireli. whllo
pure bcor should contain nothing but barley ,
hops , mult mul yeast. It Germany there ni-o
stringent laws ngnhist using any adultera
tions iu lieor , and it is claimed that Its purity
Is the main advantage which German beers
have over these mndo in America. Tbo
brewers of this country admit that glucose
and other ndulterntions uro used , but they
insist to the ways and menus committed that
the adulterations nro not harmful and that
the product Is all that the American taste
demands. It it said that out of the intiumer.
nblo breweries in New Yorl : only oi.o turns
out pure beer. This is sold for81 per barrel
moro than thu other boors und the demand
for It Is beyond the capacity of the hrowory.
This Is used UH an argument here to show
that pure beer suits the American taste nnd
that It would eventually drive out the bogus
article. If congress decides on stopping the
adulteration It will mean a good deal to the
farmers and maltsters. The malt used In
beer making last your reached 27,000,000 gallons
lens , and It Is osti mated that the figures
would bo 40,000,000 gallons if adulteration
was stopped.

THE DESTlTJtJTEl FARMKttS.
An Interview AVlth Hon. li.V. . Gil-
uhrlBt oil 'Mio Suhjoot. ,
Hon. L. "W. Gilchrlstot tbo state board of
transportation wasJ in Omaha yesterday.
Speaking of the destitution of western farm
ers , ho said :
"In the counties of Box Buttc , Sheridan ,
Dawes and Sioux there are a great many
families thnt will need help , and they will
need grain for seed In the spring. There are
a great many who do not need assistance.
Men who nro in the cattle business are nil
right. The feed Is excellent , The buffalo
grass matured without rnin , and the cattle
nro keeping fat upon it without a purticlo of-
hay. Horses are In good condition aud will
keep fat nil winter on buffalo grass. I
have forty head of horses running
out that have not had n mouthful of hay , nnd
they are in hotter condition than the 'teams
that I have In tbo stable feeding on hay nnd
grain. A horse can go through the winter
up In that country cvon when there is deep
snow without nny feed excepting the buffalo
grass. Horses will root up the snow and get
plenty to cat where cattle will starve to
death. "
In regard to the general effect of tbo hard
ship now being unaorgono by the frontier
settlers , Mr. Oilchrist said :
"People talk about this destitution In tbo
\vo.tnni part of the state as though it were
something unheard of before. Why , I remember -
member the time when wo had to ask for
government assistance' right iu Saunders
county. In 1874 and 1875 there were hun
dreds of families.in Saunders and other
counties close to Omaha that received gov
ernment rations. Thnt was In grasshopper
times. I know of scores of men who were
helped by tbo government In these days who
could draw their cheeks today for from 510-
OOU to $10,000. Trio snmo thing will bo true
of oufrontloMinon. They will w enther the
atormr nd come out all right In u few years. "

Messrs. Shoupniul McCctmoll wor-6 referred

Mr. Aldrtcb offered n resolution for an

Mr. Cocltrcll askeil whether It was now In

Mr. Aldrich roplled that the motion would

Mr. Stewart KHVO notlco that tomorrow

Mr. Gorman moveiHo take up the bill for
tbo adjustment of tbo accounts of laborers ,
otc. , under the eight-hour law , hut Mr. Hoar
claimed the lloor on tlic olect'ons bill tuut Mr.
Gorman \vlthilro\v the motion.
Mr. Hoar yielded the lloor to Mr. IIKcock ,
who addressed the senate at length in sup-
lK > rtof the bill.
At the conclusion of Mr. Illsooclt's ' speoeb
Mr. Hour addressed the senato. In the
course of his remarks Mr. lloar said the
struggle for the pending hill \vi\a n strupilo
for the last stop toward cstnhUalilnur a doc
trine to which thu American people were
plcductl bv their history , tbclr constitution ,
their opinions imil interests. They could not

infeilor races , It was idle to dobuto theories
or phlloboptiiot in the presence of the ex
press provisions of the constitution , lie de
nied with nil the IndiKnntlon which the cal
umny deserved thnt tbo bill was a partisan
measure ) , or that nny man who supported it
wns actuated by partisan purposes. The
committee . that icportod it bad merely
undertaken to act on the udvico of
S. A. Cox and other loading
democrats and extern ! the bsnellciont
system of the electoral supervision on forced
in IfowYorlc to other purls of the country. The
senators would put fortn the whole military
pouer of the government to defend settlers
against Indians , though the latter hud boon
provoUod by n liunilicd years of wrongs.
Would they not also protect them acnlnstun-
prorokedoutrages at the polls * Ild they
stand here rforiously to aillrm that the fathers
of tlio republic had created a government imd
given It no authority to secure thu purity of
the election of its great representative assem
bly , The republican senators chnnjod that
through the election practices in operation in
sonio of the states the scats of nt least thirty
representatives had been Illegally usurped ;
that the constitution , of the United States
hud been so violated and overthrown that for
fourteen years a minority had controlcd the
national house of representatives , and for
four years the president of tno United States
itself hml been held by n usurper. What had
the senators on the other side answered ]
Some of them seemed to think that their best
answer was in railing nnd reviling at the ,
senator who had charge of the bill. Their
abuse had dona him ( Hoar ) an honor to which
ho would not have laid claim. It brought
him into company into which ho should other
wise have been too modest to scolc admission.
It was the democrats who had reviled Adams
and Simmer , Sovvard , Lincoln nnd Grant.
The senators from Virginia and West Vir
ginia Daniels nnd IConna had but repeated
what their predecessors hnd taid to men tbo
latchol of whoso shoes they were not worthy
to unloose. Without codcluuing his speech
Mr. Hoar yielded for mi executive session
nnd thu senate soon adjournod.
Several Bloro Suggestions Offered at
Iinst Nl tit's Meeting.
As seen as the charter committee convened
last night a letter was read from Judge W.
S. Felker. Intho communication ho thought
the street railway people should bo compelled
to make nil repairs on the streets ou which
they oocrnto ; that they should bo compelled
to sprinkle and clean thcso streets , besides
paving over their tracks and two foot on each
side.
side.This
This communication brought out endless
discussion in which Mr. Popplcton said that
Omaha has no street car facilities. Upon
this proposition the other members were of a
dillcrcnt opinion , most of them claiming that
the Omaha system Is the best In the country.
The superintendent of buildings , In a fi in
muutcatlon. asked that his salary bo raised
from 82,000 to2,500 per year.
Mr. Osthoff thought such an amendment
should bo Incorporated in the charter.
Mr. Kasowator thought thnt$5 per day for
this olllcial was a fair compensation ,
Mr. Kountze was of the opinion that,000 ,
per year was sufJlcient.
Mr. Rosewater said : "If wo raise the
salary of ono man the others will all como up
and ask the same.1
A vote upon the motion resulted In Its
being carried by one majority.
Mr. Hitchcock offered a resolution that tbo

tion provides that the Interest so received
shall go Into the gcaernl fund ; thnt no banit
.shall receive city funds in excess of 40 per
cent of its paid up capital.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. IJojewator offered the following reso
lution :
"Itesnlvod , That cvorv appropriation ordi
nance lie nmd In full before n.'issucu aiul Uiut
they bopnbllshedln the olllcial paper. "
Mr. losowuter { thought that moro pub-
llpity should ho given to those ordinances.
This was opposed by MUSMN. Cbatfeo and
Ucchcl. They arguing tnatsuca a plan would
entail too much cost.
"How much will this cost ! " asked Mr.
Cliatroo ,
"Fifteen dollnrs month "
per , rosjonded
Mr. Bcchel.
' "What If it docsl" said Mr. Hosowator.
"It would save the city u grcut deal moro
than this. "
Upon a vote the resolution wns defeated.
DMr. Popplotou offered a suggestion that
when n personal Injury occurs by which the
city is liable , the rlty physician nt once make
an examination of the Injuries sustained by
such person or persons. The suggestion was
adopted.
Mr. Hitchcock offered an aaicndmnnt that
when any contract Is to bn extended beyond
tbo term of three years , or when n Irnnchiso
Is to bo granted , n vote of thu people shall bo
bad. The amendment wns adopted.
Assistant City Attorney Shoemaker ap

rnent. This report was ndoiitcd. Ho had
