Luikart was appointed to the place on the committee on privileges and elections made "vacant by the death of Farrell. . Beal introduced a resolution providing that no employes bo paid 'for over time except at the regular rate per hour , instead of allow ing an hour's over time to constitute an extra day , as has been the case in former years McKesson amended so as to require the house to audit all hills. The independents were unwilling to have the expense entailed by their appointments JliUB paraded , and the resolution died igno- mlniously. Jensen introduced a resolution requesting the clerk to furnish each member with a list of all employes. An attempt to lay It on the table failed enroll roll call , but the resolution was killed a mo ment later on a count of noses. The pay question was sprung again by Deal with another resolution , which was fol lowed by others , and another half hour was consumed in fruitless dissension , after which the whole matter was laid on the table. On request of Casper , the appropriation bill was read a second time und sent to the in Inter. ISllls Introduced n petition from the'people of Dixon county praying for a reduction of railroad rates , which was referred. Merrick again brought up the employe mat ter by a resolution asking the clerk to post a list of the employes in a conspicuous place , but again the populists objected to having the romiblleans go Into their family affairs.

The prohibitionists are feeling 1B vt ry coulldcut today , and claim to have m.-ulu considerable ininads on their opponents' ! ranks. Finding it Impossible to secure a Majority for the repeal of the law , the re.sub- inlsslonlsts last wi-ok changed tlmir tuotirs nnd made the proposed amendment provide local option by municipalities and townships. > They believed this-would conciliate oin > s.o - vltlon and gain them some rccrjiu.

Not only did * the resubml Monl.sts not gain by Iho move , but tliny are wild to have lost one or two voten. More over , dome of their tndn begun to demand local option by townships. Tills Is very ob noxious to the ro.MibmUslonlsts generally , but thc'su men Insisted nnd considerable friction resulted. In the committee meeting tomorrow there will probably ho nn open row. H is certain that when the subject comes up lu the house there will be n sharp wrangle over the question of town or county control. Now complications have nrlscn today. A number of rabid prohibitionists wont to the World's fair committee and declared that if rcsUhmlsslon were forced through the house they would kill the World's fair appropria tion.

Thcro could be no event moro in harmony with the naino of the organization creating It , than was the celebration of the twenty- fifth nnnlversaryof the organization of the United Presbyterian church , which took plnco last evening and afternoon ut the First United Presbyterian phurch In Kountzo It appeared to an observer that the words f the Master might have been applied to lie happy gathering , "Dy this shall all men now that yo are my disciples , that ye love no another. " Twenty-live years ago In the struggling , .ngainly frontier town of' Omaha this ir.inch of the Christian church gained its rst foothold. A fccblo and apparently un- ortnln foothold it appeared to bo at that line , but the sturdy character of those who elped to organize the little band , made it nn biding power that weathered every storm ml planted the foundations of future usedr ulness deep nnd firm In the solid rock of ges. The celebration consisted of a double pro- ; ram , tl-o first for the various United Pros- lytcrian churches of the city and their mmcdiato friends in neighboring churches , nd the second for the public in general , 'he banquet was spread at fi0 : ! ! and the adles of the church proved to the sntisfac- ion of all that they had made ample prcp.ira- Ion to challenge nnd uppcaso the apetltcs of ho most exacting. epicure. When the uxurics of the festal board had been dis- > . osed of Hov. J. M. French announced that ; ho "feast of reason and the How of soul votild begin. " Triumphs of the Scot. Ho introduced Mrs. J. 10. Ncvln , who ro- pondcd to the sentiment "Lot Her Own Works Pralso Her. " Mrs. Novin spoke In behalf of the Womcns' Mission and Aid society. She said the society had been eally "a mlsslon-ln-soclcty" and a mlssion- iry society at the same timo. Karnest Christian wont had been accomplished both it homo nnd in foreign lands by the organ- zation , and the future was full of hope for ho continued usefulness of iho organisation. Dr. WS. . Gibbs spoke upon the mission and the progress of the Sunday school in response - sponso to the sentiment "Tench Mo'Thy Statutes. " HIsa remarks wore historic n their nature , nnd in conclusion he give briefly the vat-ion ? struggles through which the Sunday school had been obliged to lass. Ho paid a glowing tribute to the ven erable Hov. Thomas MeCague , through whoso self-sacrllicing efforts the church and ttio Sunday school had been kept alive when all other human assistance seemed to have been withdrawn. Dr. Gibbs thought that the church had : nado ono mistake in not being moro aggres sive , and ho advised the brethren to become i little moro Mothodistlo In tills particular. Next to the preaching of the gospel , the speaker believed the Sunday school was the greatest power for good in , connection with the Christian church. Miss Bessie J. Snyder. a teacher in the High school , responded to the sentiment , 'Young Men nnd Maidens. " Her address was unique and elegant in the extreme. I'urtoftho Young People. "It is scarcely necessary for me to speak Tor the young people , " said Miss Snyder , "for most of them can speak for Jhomsolvcs. It is an easy matter to grow eloquent over youth. It is the time of building promise. Upon thu brow of youth linger the enchant ments and the beauties of hope. Who would dare to mark the boundary lines of an un lived life1' The speaker then referred to the radical change that bad taken place within the past twenty-live years , particularly as touching the .attitude of young men and women. Young people's organizations wcro of but recent origin in the churches but they bad done a vast amount of good. "Our's is not a mutual admiration society , " said the speaker , "neither Is it much of n success ns a matrimonial mill , for during the dozen years of Its existence there has been but ono marriage actually within the mem bership of the society and the organization was not really to blame for that.1' Miss Snyder predicted a future of great usefulness for the young people's society and her address was heartily applauded. Mrs. J. M. French responded to the senti ment , "A Little Child Snail Lead Thorn , " ns a representative of the mission band. She thought that If a child was to do the loading there was need of early training or both the loader and the led would fall Into the ditch. She held that the Master wanted the chil dren , nnd it was the duty 01 the church to provide proper training for the lambs of the Hock. lprom HerFlrnt FrulU. 'iho First United Presbyterian church Isnot old nor feeble by n long deal , but the organlza tion is a grandmother , nevertheless , and this fact was responsible for the appearance on the program of a topic that produced u lot of pleasantry nnd called out quite u stream of wit and some very excellent thoughts of n moro serious trend. "Our Daughters as Corner Stones"was the sentiment that called up the representa tives of the grand children , the churches that have sprung from the First. Hev. Frank A. Henderson , pastor of the Park Avenue church , the eldest daughter of tho. first chinch , was the first to respond. "Tho won ! daughter suggests mother , " said Hov. Mr. Henderson , "andthero is noth ing moro sacred in connection with human life than motherhood. T have been married to the eldest daughter of the church for six years , " ho continued , "and I want to report tonight upon the conduct of thoichlld who went out from her homo six years ago to * do for herself. She had be haved very well. She left homo before I was acquainted with her , but I understand that she had a rather hard time in getting nway frorn , homo. Her mother did not want her to go. Hut young people do not always obey their parents. The daughter has been doing well. I think she reflects many of the good qualities of her mother. " The similes wcro very much enjoyed by the audience and were received with frequent applause. Dr. John Williamson , D.D. , pastor of the Central United Presbyterian church , was the other son-in-law who proudly confessed that ho had boon filling the important place of husband for the second daughter of the First church. 'I married her at a very tender ago , " said the reverend gentleman. "Tho second daughter of this church was but about three months old when I tirst made her acquaint. unco. " Ho gave an excellent report of the progress of the second daughter nnd his ad dress was received with great favor. He'ii Courting Only , Hov. J. F. Hess of South Omaha had the distinguished honor of appearing as the prospective pectivo husband of the only gruiidduughtei of the mother church. "I cannot say that I am married to n grand daughter of this church , " said the modest speaker , "but wo have been sitting up nights together , and wo found it verj pleasant. " This clover turn of the pro gressive llguro was heartily enjoyed , for most of those present knew that Hev. Mr Hess has not jot been installed us the statci pastor of the South Omaha church. Hois still enjoying the courtship stage of the work with prospects of approaching matri mony. Hev. Mr. Hess made many happj hits In his brief talk , and was heartily up- plauded. In Kountzu I'lace , Ono of the most enjoyable efforts of tin evening was the address by Hov. W. K. Heani of the 'JYlnlty Methodist cl.urch In behalf o the neighboring churches. Ho spoke elo quently of the sterling qualities of the Ini inanuel liaptist , the Plymouth Congrega tlonulist , the Knox Presbyterian , the Firs Unlveraallst and the Trinity Methodist which are located in the Immediate neleh borhood of the First United Presbytcrlat church , In speaking of the doctrines of the church which took the part of the host Inst night Rev Mr Deans said itil'JlwIsh to compliment you upon the fact that you still slug the grand old hymns wrltt'th" Iby the greatest liymn vrltor of the universe. YOJ will never go vrong In so doing How much moro appro- u-Iuto It Is to Ifl'iiraOhrlstlnn singing In low and solemn measure , 'The I/ord Is ny shcphoril , I shall not want , ' thane o hear a chorus of nervous voices bricking out : ' 'OH , glorious hereafter , vhoso every bright rafter shall shako with rippling laughter.pf winctlficd song. ' " Iho heartiest aimlnuso of the evening fol- owed this clover take off. The speaker losed by wishing the. First United Presby- erlnn church a prosperous future nnd n rlorlous usheringfhofilts golden anniversary 71 the year 1018. , i Some ( lunidriil Addremiec. This brought tlid banquet procram to a close and the audlcnco repaired to the main luditorlum , whore a number of addresses \ero delivered bearing upon the history and irogross of the church. After an anthem and prayer Rev. Thomas MeCaguo gave a talk upon the origin and early history of the church ; Mr. John Cannon told of later history of the church ; lov. ( D. U.

RESIDENT-ELECT IS MUCH ANNOYED tome of the Drmocnitlo CongreMitiMi Unto Incurred the ninplennuro of the 1'nrty'ii llend nnd I'ront Only Two Cnhl- nct Ponltlons Decided , Nnw YOIIK , Jan , .TO. The Tribune prints ho following : A prominent democrat of bis state , who has a national reputation , ind n chut with President-elect Cleveland restcrday In this city , In the coin-so of which Mr. Cleveland told frankly what ho Is now loing and what his policy would bo in re spect to federal appointments. "Mr. Cleveland , " said this democrat , "Is hlnklng now more about the repeal of the Slierman silver act , nnd nettling the stl vcr problem generally , than he Is of cabinet upjioltitincnt.s. But the cabinet appointments , ns well as all other federal appointments , will bo largely governed by Mr. Cleveland's evident desire to stop the : oinngo of the present dishonest silver dollar. Mr. Cleveland regards the silver issue as the larnmount one in politics , supreme oven to the tariff. The settlement of the govern ment's relation to silver , therefore , will mvo precedence of the settlement of the : urlff issue. The Sherman act , in his opinion , s a peril to the country , and it must bo re- iculcd before anything else can bo done with safety. ( 'oiiKroBdinon Who Dliplcnsn Him. "Feeling ns keenlv ns ho docs upon the natter , Mr. Cleveland cannot but observe with astonishment the conduct of certain lomocratlc congressmen , who after a visit to him for the purixiso of pushing the u ] > - olntmont of certain friends of theirs to ligh federal ofllccs , return to Washington ind do their utmost not only to prevent the repeal of the Sherman silver net , but even work hard to pass a free coinage net. These gentlemen will learn before another your ins passed that Mr. Cleveland does not In tend to put in high government positions men who will attempt to defeat his policy in respect to silver , and that ho has observed the action of su.'h democratic congressmen it Washington , who , pretending to bo his friends , steadily favor in committees and on the lloor of the senate and house of repre sentatives the frco coinage of silver. " "What cabinet appointments has Mr. Cleveland thus far decided upon ? " nsked the Tribune reporter. Ilitf Only Miule Tuo Cnlilnct Appointments "Only two John G Carlisle of Kentucky for secretary of the treasury , und Daniel S. Lament of AOW York for secretary of war. Both of these appointments are in the line of Mr. Cleveland's policy of unrelenting hos tility to the -ccnt silver dollar. Mr. Carlisle , as secretary of the treasury , of course , will be called upon especially to carry out the president-elect's policy in respect 0d silver , but Colonel Lament can also bo dependcu upon to enforce loyally this feature of Mr. Cleveland's policy Colonel Lament , I hear , is placed In the War department by Mr. Cleveland , with the aim by the latter of Having I : a thorough examination of the pen sion rolls made and the dishonest receivers ss sG pensions weeded out. Of course , the pen sion bureau is in ho Interior department , but 1 the War department has certain books which will unable Colonel Lament to do tills work in a thorough manner. William C. Whitney has said that ho thought a man might ; make a national reputation in .the cabinet who would go over the pension list and detect the fraudulent pensioners. Fraudulent I'cnslonern Muni ( Jo. "Tho nation , he thought , was gladly payIng - Ing i pensions to the honest pensioner.- ; , but was discontented over the suspicion that many : of the claims which hud been granted under formec- pension commissioners , demo crats and republicans , wcro fraudulent. " "Has Mr. Cleveland been told by Hlchard Croker that Senator Edward Murphy , jr. , and Tammany hall will support his policy of administration ? " ' "No overtures have been made to Mr. Cleveland by anybody claiming to represent Tammany hull or Mr. Murphy. That call of Bourke Cockran lately upon Mr. Cleveland was solely with ref erence to the silver coinage matter ; it had no relation to state or national iwlitics of 1t the kind you refer to. Mr. Croker has said to Mr. Cleveland , In the course of casual con versation , two or three times since election ti that Mr. Murphy would not oppose him , but it i was dropped out in the most incidental way und not followed up in any manner. " "I presume Mr. Cleveland will muke a largo 1 number of appointments to olllco in New York state us soon as ho is sworn in us president 1I ! " Will Mukc Very row Appointment * . "Upon the contrary , he will make very few ; nnd ho will not mnko n largo number of appointments in the state the first year of his administration. It is his desire to select busincsss men for the federal offices at his disposal , and of course this work of selecting from among them will take u good deal of time : far more so than If ho made his selec tions from nn exclusively political ciass. " Judgu ( Srcftlium lU-tlcent. CHICAGO , 111. , Jan. i J. Judge Walter Q. Gresbam will say nothing whether or not ho will bo n member of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet. Ho is constantly holding conferences with gentlemen who stand close to the president. Saturday ho had a long conference with Henry Wutterson , this morning with J. W. Doane , un intimate friend of President Cleveland , and this afternoon with Judge William G. Kwing , cousin of Adlai E. Stevenson , None of the yarties to these conferences will make any statement con cerning them. Cume. to 1'ay Ills Tutex. "W. W. Bishop , a farmer from Waterloo , with straw-colored hair nnd a stoop in his shoulders , came to town yesterday to pay his taxes. But ho never will turn over the money ho brought with him to the county treasurer. Before climbing the hill to the court house Bishop thought u sight of the elephant would do him goodand so ho took a whirl through the bad lands. Some of the mulatto girls on North Ninth street enticed the aged farmer into their dens of vice und while there robbed him of his tux money. As soon us ho could Bishop reported the mutter to the police und spent the night ut the Jail , llrst because bo was broke and sec- only because ho wanted to bo around when the colored women were arrested. The women were too smooth for the f miner und were over the river long before ho hud re ported the matter at headquarters.
