Iliu'imuo continues to
furnish this country examples of Hat fool-
Uhnoiu. The proaiduntV annual mos-
eajro shows that the 1200,000,000 of irro-
doeninblo currency issued by the gov
ernment to supply the clamor for more
inonuy has declined 60 pur cent. It
tukos $1 of this money to pay for 20
cents' worth of labor or material , and
yet the people's party declares itself in
favor of this character of circulating
nodiutn in the Ualtod Statoi
In splto of years of adversity anc
great illBcouragomonUi the farmers o
Nubrnakn have hold their heads nbovi
water nnd in many instances quletlj
pocketed pavings year by year. The
domtipoguo on the stump has blackonet
the reputation of the state and given
out the Impression broadcnntthat it vor }
largo majority of them have boon de
spoiled by the railroads and robbed by
money sharks' until the only alternative
has boon repudiation or bankruptcy.
These stories have boon believed by
many nnd have bred dlHContont in the
agricultural districts. It is true that
the crops have boon short , prices low ,
transportation ratea high and interest
usurious. It la also true that many
farmers have boon hard pressed for
funds to- meet obligations Incurred by
purchase money mortgages and neces
sary expenditures for farm , machinery
and stock.
The fact remains , however , to the
credit of Nebraska that her farmers
have emerged and are emerging from
their dilHctilties in better financial con
dition than these of neighboring states.
Those who have leaned up against the
government instead of the haystack ;
those who have devoted more time to
politics than potatoo-t , and those who
have bought moro whisky than clothing
have found tnoir financial status threat
ening. Those who have steadfastly at
tended to business and carefully cul
tivated their fluids have rarely suffered ,
except in the now counties , where there
was neither surplus nor wages to carry
them over the hard seasons. .
It is gratifying to road in the
local newspapers of the agricul
tural counties the stories of successful
farming which many careful farmers are
truthfully able to toll. Those plainly
illustrate a fact which all the older hus
bandmen in the eastern counties rocog-
nixo , viz : That year after year the
careful agriculturist in Nebraska faros
far better than his colaboror In any of
the older states. Following is an extract -
tract from n letter written by a Kearney
county farmer to his local newspaper ,
and is ropubllshed for the encourage
ment of the newcomers and to illustrate
the possibilities of strict attention to
business in Nebraska :
I want tovrito you somQthlnir about ray
experience slnco I came from Swudon to
America. I arrived in the state of Indiana
In 1870. My money was exhausted and I had
not a dollar loft. I hired out to wont on n
farm nt $20 per month. I worked flyo years
nt that price , then rontea a farm ono year.
At the end of that time I had saved S.WO. In
IbTT I came to this place , built a sod house ,
bought a team and wntron , a few household
Roods , having onlv n few disues and as many
farming Implements as my pile would aumlt
of , reserving a portion to 11 voon till I could
raise a crop. I took a homestead and timber
claim. Iy the time I had made final proof
on these claims I had accumulated quite a
stock of horses , cattle and hogs. I therefore
bought another quarter section of land and
have It all pala for but ono payment , and
have the stud roadv to make that payment
when it becomes duo.
I have attended strictly to farming with no
outside speculation , and what I have made
hero cannot bo bought for $15,000.
There are scores of my countrymen within
my acquaintance who have done equally as
well as I. Sonm came too late to got homesteads -
steads , but have done quite as well , consider
ing the chance they had of getting land. In
fact , all have made money hero ( except whore
they have had sorao extremely bad luclc ) that
would muke money anywhere.
If wo had staid in thu old country It would
have boon all wo could do to earn enough to
oat , nnd wear very poor clothes nnd keep out
of debt. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TUB IHMlffEXT QUESTION.
The president of Amherst collosro In
his inaugural address delivered a few
days ago , declared that today the ques
tion of popular education is the immi
nent question. The leading places of
the world having achieved popular gov
ernment , the education of the people
acquires all that Interest and signifi
cance which under an absolute mon
archy used to attach to the education of
the heir to the throne. Public school
education , the higher education of the
colleges und universities , and univer
sity extension to carry something of the
advantages of the university to
those who could not other
wise obtain them , are themes
which largely occupy the thought
of the time. Ono manifest outcome of
the close connection between the
thought of the laboring tellers with' the
hand and.lifo of our higher Institutions
of lo.irnlng is soon in the apprehension
of the truth that an education must bo
worked for. Strong , clear , conserva
tive thinking , said President Gates , is
the hardest work and the most produc
tive work done In God's work-day world.
The echo of the well-worked br.tln is as
truly deserving- respect as is the aeho
of the bending1 back or the wearied arm.
University extension was charac
terized by President Gates as a
noble work , but there are dan
gers from tlib abuse of the sys
tem , the chief of which la the possible
demand upon the centers of higher edu
cation for far more of the teaching force
than they can spare without injustice to
their own undergraduates. The diffu
sion of force may become so great that
extension will decrease intension. Pres
ident Gates bollevoH that us a people
wo need moro of studious culture. There
should bo encouragement of prolonged
investigation by well-trained minds as
essential to the solution of social , po
litical and scientific problems. As wo
begin to approach the limits of the im
mense advantage over other nations
given to us by our vast territory and our
; rcat natural resources , as competition
with the other peoples of the world in
.ho world's market becomes keen , and
mist constantly grow keener , It is be
coming evident that the legislation
which touches the tariff and commerce
uul corporations requires careful study
and calls for the consideration of broad-
y-tralnod experts. To demand high
standards of scholarship is not to be
blind to the prautio.il results of u liberal
education. Nowhere else in the world
ins systematic education received HO
mieh attention as in Germany for * ho
ast three generations , and no people in
the world Is proving itself so Intensely
> rieteal ! in all lines of effort as
ire the Germans of our time. In busl-
loss , manufactures , trade nnd commerce ,
n war , in the arts nnd sciences , and in
ilgh scholarship , these who in accord
ance with carefully matured plans of
education have mastered the theory nre
the men who excel in the affairs o
practical life. Buitnoan life and active
professional duties nuiko of eollogo-brod
men the most intensely practical citizens
men who can "bring things to pans"
yet the man who enters upon llfo through
a liberal course of study at college re
mains all his life long a citizen of the re
public of ideas.

The now state of Montana is isolate ; !
from the great corn growing region ol
which Omaha la the center. Montana
grows immense herds of cattlohoMos and
sheep , llor ontlro nroaof 1 lt,00fsquare ( )
miles is either pasturage for the herds
or mineral producing mountains. There
fire arable valleys and great forests Q
timber , but those boar to the mountains
and grass grown plateaus and foot hills
n. very small relative proportion as com
pared with the total area.
On the ranges of this great state are
2,000,000 head of cattle. 2-50,000 horses
and 2,500,000 sheep. From her rich min
ing camps go out gold , silver and copper
in great nnd profitable quantities. Her
200,000 people boast of a surplus product
from the mines and ranches valued at
$07,000,000 annually. Montana is rv
a great and wealthy commonwealth.
Her stock goes over two lines of railway
to Chicago. Her mineral product Is di
vided between those two lines and the
Union Pacific. She is without direct
communication with this great region
from which she should draw her food
and to which her cattle should bo
shipped for feeding prior to murliotlng.
This great state will some day bo
bound to Omaha by a direct line of rail
way. It should now bo connected with
this region by sucn a lino. The Bur-
lingtnn and Northwestern have lines
within 400 miles of Helena , the beauti
ful and wealthy capital of Montana. It
IH fondly hoped that ono or both those
progressive corporations will push on
through valleys of Wyoming to the rich
regions beyond and that the Union Pacific
will extend its Cheyenne & Northern
division to the mines and stock ranges
of Montana. It will not only bo profita
ble to Omaha and Nebraska to open up
communication with the now stato. It
will afford n moans of exchanging.
products between Nebraska and Mon
tana of immense profit to the transport
ation lines. The coal of Wyoming is
needed in Montana , as are the hog pro
duct , the corn , poultry , eggs , flour and
sugar of Nebraska , No line of railway
can bo extended to the northwest which
would open to this city a liner field for
interchange of truffle. It would stimu
late the jobbing trade and bring to this
stock market a most desirable class of
stock. Wo must have a line of railroad
to Montana. Which of the throe lines
will bo first to soi/.o upon this new field ?

The conservative sentiment of the
country will undoubtedly approve the
decision of the administration not to
continue the coinage of silver after July
1. This matter was very fully discussed
at the cabinet mooting last Friday , and
the conclusion reached was that the now
law authorizes the coinage of trade dollar
lar bars into standard bilvor dollars and
the rocoinago of the subsidiary silver
coin into such denominations as shall
best servo to clvo it circulation , but that
the question of the continued coinage of
silver dollars as heretofore is not a prac
tical ono at present. It does not ap
pear from the published reports that
it was decided that there is no authority
under the now law for such coinage , but
simply that it could not bo conveniently
done and carry out the mandate of con
gress regarding tnfc trade dollars and
the subsidiary coin. This , however , is
not important , since it is the effect
rather than the spirit of the decision
that is important. The practical moan
ing of the conclusion reached by the
cabinet is that the silver bullion pur
chased under the now law will not bo
coined except to such amount us the secretary -
rotary of the treasury miy doom neces
sary toredoom notes outstanding , and this
will exactly conform to the terms and
the intent of the law. It was clearly
the design of congress to put a stop to
the coinage of silver dollars , which wore
simply piled away in the vaults of the
treasury , and to provide for n paper cur
rency in the form of treasury notes re-
duomablo In gold or bilvor. Secretary
Foster undoubtedly made a mistake in
assuming that the law left it discretion
ary with him to continue the coinage ,
and his virtual abandonment of that
position will bo received with favor by
all except the extreme silver men.
The decision of the cabinet is
further evidence that conserv
ative views regarding silver still control
in the administration , nnd is n sulllclont
answer to the representations that the
president was loaning toward the ex
tremists. There need bo no apprehen
sion that President Harrison will bo
drawn Into the radical silver camp , but
ho will bo found friendly to silver under
all circumstances favorable to the main
tenance of its purity with gold. The end
of the present month will bring the.
stoppage of silver coinage , except under
; ho conditions and limitations specified
in the Inw'of the last congress.
OKTTIXO DOWN TO WOHK.
The republicans of Ohio are getting
ready for work with a vigor and ntr-
grossivonoes which In the past hns al
ways boon the forerunner of victory.
The party is united and harmonious ,
jut it realises the fact that there is a
mrd fight before it and proposes to
make every necessary preparation to
carry on the conflict with a splrjt and
energy that will bo sure to arouse every
republican to n sense of his duty. It is
vlwaya well for u party to appreciate the
'act ' that it cannot afford to spare any
votes , that while it may have u
reasonable certainty of success because -
cause argument and the conditions
ire in its favor , it is still prudent to
nuke such an effort aa will arouse its
orcos to action und insurq its full
strength nt the polls. Thti Is evidently
the feeling among Ohio republicans this
your , and therefore they Intend to make
heir campaign strong and vigorous in
every voting precinct of the state. In
order to do this it was decided ut n re
cent conference ! of the leaders ta or
ganize republican clubs in every county
ind precinct whore they do not exist ,
and thus to jja o everywhere in the

is productive of greater benefit to r

other plan. Tii | | ( club uttractu voters

sues. A mnn will throw aside the or
dinary campaign document , but ho will
hoar nnd cnrfully rolloct upon all that IE
Bpokon in the organization of which he
is a member. It Is especially to the
young men that the club is inviting , nnd
it is this cluss of voters which the ropub-
licun party everywhere needs to look out
for. A good , active club in u country
township is worth moro in holding the
country members of the party and got-
tlng'out u full vote than tons of cam
paign documents.
The republicans of Iowa will do well
to emulate the example of the Ohio re
publicans in this particular. They are
confronted with the hardest and moat
uncertain conflict In moro than 0 years ,
nnd in order to win thorough organiza
tion is ono of the most essential re
quirements. The club plan for Interest
ing the voters und holding them in line
Is of demonstrated value and undoubted
ly it would prove to bo us beneficial in
lowu us It has boon olsowtioro.
ONE of the foreign steamship compan
ies has taken counsel of pruduuce and
will respect the requirements of this
country regarding immigration. The
Hamburg-American has
company pro
hibited its agents selling tickets for
America to certain specified classes of
undesirable persons , which includes not
only the vicious , criminal , pauper and
diseased classes designated in our law ,
but also all known anarchists and those
socialistic extremists who are likely to
Decomo troublesome. The example thus
sot will doubtless bo speedily followed
by other lines , and thus the steamship
companies will become valuable aids In
keeping out undesirable immigrants.
Tins democrats of Clarion county ,
Pennsylvania , have declared in favor of
Governor Pattison us a candidate for
the presidency. While the nnmo of the
governor has received moro or loss con
sideration in this connection , this Is the
first formal expression in favor of him
by u political body , and it can hardly
fail to exert soiiioinfluence. It is to bo
expected that other county conventions
of Pennsylvania will follow the example
thus sot , and if it should become general -
oral , assuring the Pennsylvania delega
tion to Pattison , ho might become u for
midable possibility.
A CuiOAQO democratic journal in a fit
of rage calls an Iowa republican a. cross
between a Salem witchburner und a

are typical democrats and therefore the

When u deirocrutlc paper loses It temper

This Is ono of several very flattering com

Omaha Is a great city , so also Is Lincoln ,
oven though but half ns larqe as Omaha.
Nebraska has room for both , and the puoplo
of the state nro proud of the growth of both
of them.
It Is a matter of notoriety thnt Nebraska
has some of the llnost cities In the country
and that her towns and villages nro among
the most prosperous.
Of the smaller citioj there are Nebraska

East and north of the Plntto are South
Omaha , Fremont and Norfolk. In central

There Is room and prosperity for all , because

parties formed , ono advocating nnd the other
opposlrig sub-treasurlos. The new party has
started out unwisely with spcclllo schemes of
legislation , Instead of being founded on brood
principles , allowing latitude for differences
of opinion among its members , and a party
thus founded is sure to be unstable.

wlfo nnd two daughters , Miss Baldwin ,
daughter of ox-Governor Baldwin of Detroit ,
and ox-Senator Wnrnor Miller of Now York.
The young ladloj expressed a doslro to call
upon Bishop Worthlngton , and Mr. G. F
West , city passenger and ticket agent of the
Nortbwestarn , made Arrangements to have
the car sidetracked on this sldo of the nvoi
to afford them the doilrod opportunity. Tlu
ox-senator accompanied them on their call
lug trip.
A representative of TUB DUE found Gcn <
oral Algcr In his car , looidng a little tired
after hU long hot ride , In reply to nn Inquiry
ns to his health , ho .stated thnt It was m null
Improved ,
"After the death of my youngest son n
short tlmo ago I had an attack of the grip , "
said the general , nnd on the second of this
mouth wo started for the coast for n rest. I
hnvg trained nliui pounds since 1 left homo.
I was a little under the weather this morn
ing , but It was nothing serious nnd I am
feeling all right again this afternoon. It wns
quite cold out on the coast , nnd , of course ,
very dry. so It seems strange to Hud it so
warm nnd wet hero. "
"Whom did you moot Sjnntor Mlllorl"
"Ho was out there on business connected
with his ship canal , nnd happened to be ready
to start oist , so wo brought him nlong with
us , making j verv pleasant trip. Ho will no-
company u < as far as Chicago. "
"What nbout politics , general I"
"Well , 1 don't know anything now. This
has boon n trip of rest nnd recreation , and I
haven't been uavlng politic ) much attention.
This is too early to tell what will take plnco
next year. The campaign won't open until
spring. There will bo lute of talk botoro
that tlmo , out you can't toll what it will
amount to. "
"Do > on care to venture a prediction ns to
the republican presidential tiomineol"
"No. I will any this much , however , with
out any disparagement to anyone if Mr.
Blalno wants the nomination ho can un
doubtedly have It. There Is a very strong
sentiment In his favor all through tno west ,
nnd his acceptance Is nil that would bo nec
essary. "
"How about the oasti"
"Well , ho Is strong in the east , too ; very
mucn stronger there than ho was four years
ago. lie is regarded as the greatest und best
man in the country , and I know personally
that very many who opposed him before
would glvo him strong support in the next
campaign. "
"Is there a very general sentiment for second
end choice ? "
"Not unless It Is for the ro-olectlon of Pres
ident Harrison. You know there is consid
erable talk about ronomlnatlnt ; him. His son
said In Chlcaso that his father would not bo
n candidate for a second term unless the
party urged it. "
"Will the paity urge It ! "
"That I am not prepared to say. The num
ber of candidates will donond altogether on
the position taken by Mr. Blaino. "
"Who will bo the democratic nominee ? "
"I am not In a position to know the fcellnc
of the democracy , but I am of the opinion
that they will agrco on Mr. Cleveland. Talto
It from an all-around view , thov will have
loss dilllculty with him than with any of the
others. "
"Isn't ho Inclined to bo a llttlo mutinous
on the silver question ? "
"Oh , ho has modified his Ideas n great deal ,
nnd ho and the party are both propirod to
take water on that issue.
"General , how are the alliance folks up in
Michigan ? "
"There nro quite n lot of them , several
lodges of ttiom in fact , but I really don't '
know much about thorn. I don't think they
nro as strong as they ere down in Kansas or
perhaps In Nebraska. I understand that
there is quito an organization of them
through hero. "
Ho was assured that ho was not mistaken.
"Havo you counted on a three cornered
fight In 18'J.i ' ! "
"As I said before , It Is too early to toll
anything about It. I don't think It certain
that the third party will anpmxr in the ileld
next year with n national ticket. "
Thpro was ono tlilnir , however , thnt
General Alger was very positive about , nnd !
that was that the old soldiers would have a
very decided say-so in the next camnaiirn.
"Thoy will have a very stionc Influence In
the con vontlon , " ho declared. "Thoy virtually
nominated President Harrison lu 1H33 , when
they were much stronger than they were
eight years ago. "
"By the way. general , Omaha Is trying to
got the national republican convention next
joar. "
"Is thatsol 1 hadn't heard it. Well , It
Isn't surprising , Inasmuch as Omaha Is tryIng -
Ing to. got everything. Your location Is lill
right and I don't know why you shouldn't
have It if you can talcs care of It. It Is hard
ly nrobabfo that Chicago will make ns big n
light us she would If she hadn't the world's '
fair on her hands. "
The general Inquired about Tin ; IIISR nnd
its editor and commented on the marvelous
success of both. Ho looked ut the now depot
structure and then nt the shod now doing
service for the railroads , nnd if the union
depot company could have scon the expres
sion that passed over his face whim ho
viewed the latter building It would resume
operations at once to got the now depot com
pleted before the convention meets here
next yonr.
The special car was pulled over the brldgo
nt 7:30 : o'clock und attached to the eastbound
Northwestern train. The p-irty will roach
Chicago this morninc und arrive home at

thing that Air. Parnoll could do under the
circumstance. . Why should lie have ttio
rorumony performed ns though ho wuro

Denver Sim : There Is llttlo doubt but that
Pnrncll's inarrlngo will again draw to himself -
self many of his alienated supporters , but
the bitter fooling thntchuntoturbod the war
ring Irish factions ran too high to bo claimed
by n marriage cortltluato ,

which hns done the C.-IIIMJ of Irish homo rule

Uonvor Republican : Mr. Parnoll nnd Mrs.
O'Shoa are married ut last. This may bo

that "nil tragedies are finished by a death ;
all comedies nro oudod by u marrlago. " Al-
Ihougn a marrlago has ended the drama In

DAVID MOOIUO'S > IUUIiUi ! : .
StriuiRo Story < > ! ' ClmrleH Kurd's
Cnrccr of Crime.
Few people indeed of the many who read
recently of the hanging of Charles Ford nt
Ottawa , 111. , for the norrld murder of David
Moore , the Omaha traveling man , over
dreamed of the interesting story that is to bo
told In connection with the lifo of the mur
derer and that of his antecedents , snys the
Chicago Poit. Itis the story of crime after
crime , of murder after murder , of the con-
slant commission of some dark deed to hide
some other that had go no before
It Is a story which , whilj it does
not show the horoJItnrliios of some
better qualities of tlio mind furiilshtu a
striking example of the horoulty of oriniu.
Charles Ford , whoso lifo wont out to pay I ho
penalty for the Moore murder , was the
illegitimate son of ono of the cleverest crimi
nals , ono of the most remorseless , cunning
murders known to the criminal records of
the state of Now York. At thosaino tlmo ho
was a man of brilliant mind and magnificent
education , and , nt the time his ciimlnul
career began , was respected and honored In
the community In which ho lived. This
man's nnmo was ICdward II. KulotT
in Germany , before ho came to this
country , it was HulolTson. This nrm
who was recoiitlv hanged nt Ot
tawa was called Ford. It was known that
this was fictitious , but Uudolpliand itiulolph-
son were as near as miy came to the mur
derer's name. There Is no definite proof of
the relationship between these two criminals ,
but tie ( story told by this modern murderer
concerning his uncostly tallloi so closely
with the history of Ituloff , the earlier crim
inal , as to leave no don tit of the connection in
thu mind of a certain Chlcugoan , who in lib
younger days was bounced unon KulnfT's
knees nnd who for years watched the carooi
of the illegitimate mm.
Thostorv then goes on that Ford was tlio
son of ' Iluloff , and that lluloff
had killed his wife when Ford
was n baby buciuiko she Visited n
neighbor against Ills wlshoi. Ho was given
ton years in the Now York penitentiary for
Lho abduction of Ins boy , and wns afterward
irrestod for the murder of Ills wlfo , but os-
uapcd from Jail before trial. Ho was afterwards -
wards professor of n small collojro
In Pennsylvania , and wrote n book
sn philology. Ho was under nn
isaurnod name , but was discovered and
to got hush money from his discoverer , but ,
ivas caught. Ho was ntlorwards implicated
In numerous small robberies , nnd In ISfH was
u-rostod , tried and sentenced , and hanged for
.ho robbery of a store and murder of n elork
it Blnehamptoii , N. Y. Tnat Is the story of
.ho original KnlolT. His illoglMmato .son ,
.liough as base nnd cruel a murderer , was loss
miming nnd less Interesting. Tlio ono cnpl-
.id crime proved against him nnd for which
ils llfo was ondcd , was moro briitul than any
ils father wns over guilty of. The young
nurdoror was betrayed by his accomplices ;
.he father was smart enough and good enough
, o murder his.
