Mr. McPherson offered n resolution ( which

Fifty-third congress , comprehending the
facts as to the total cost of producing various
Iron nnd stool products and of the leading

Mistaken Alinuuilril.
A resolution was Introduced by Mr. Cock-
roll for a reprint of the Indian appropriation
bill and which was finally agreed to led to
n pretty long discussion of the numerous
errors that have been discovered In the
enrollment of apnroprlatlou bill * . Mr. Hale
said that ho hud found more than eighty
errors In the naval appropriation bill ; some
of them were Important. Grave questions
had been raised by errors in the appropria
tion bills errors committed , not by the son.
nto clerks , but by the house clerks. Ono ol
those errors was the insertion of 57 Instead
of $1)7,000 ) as an appropriation for the bureau
of engraving nnd printing.
Mr. Allison thought some of the errors
committed at the last session were Inoxcus
nblo. He regretted them very much , but he
know of no way whereby the scnato could
exorcise Jurisdiction over the enrolling clerks
of the house.
Mr. Cockrell stated It as a well known fact
that thrco of the Important appropriation
bills of the last session had never been prop
crly compared and could not have been ex
i-opt at the expense of an extra session ol
congress.
Mr. ( Jorinnn Kxplnlns.
Mr. Gorman said that the appropriation
bills had never been so delayed as at the lasl
session. Two or thrco of the great appropri
ation bills had been delayed in the last twc
days of the session by useless discussion ol
other matters. The result had been that
when the bills went to the house tc
bo enrolled thcro was not sufllclcni
time to have the work properly done
Ho admitted that thcro had beci
great carelessness. In the nava
appropriation bill , a great number of error ;
had occurred. They occurred on every pag (
of the bill. Still the fact remained that I :
the scnato clock had shown standard timi
the naval appropriation bill , oven in its im
perfect form , would not have been presentee
for the signature of the president. It was :
lesson which ho trusted no senator woult
forget hereafter. It was to bo regrettoc
that so many errors had occurred , but It win
n wonder that there was not still more o
them. Ho added tlmt onn of the appropria

It appears that the senate has acted on all
the nominations , except that of K. 13. Whit
ney of Now York , to bo assistant attorney
general , and ono or two minor nominations ,
i'lio failure to act in the case of Whitney Is
doubtless duo to the fact that the committee

James D. Eustls , named as minister to
Franco , was made White's successor as
senator from the state of Louisiana. His ap
pointment meets with general favor here.
Wade Hamilton of South Carolina , who Is
to become railroad commissioner , served In
tlio United States scnato twelve years ,
finally yielding that iwst because of the an
tagonism of the alliance clement Ir. his
native state.
Walter G. Jenkins , nominated ns Judge of

The notnin.it Ion of ICrncst P. Baldwin of

LINCOLN , Nob. , March 20. [ Special to THE
| KEB. ] City politics appear to bo the chief
concern of Lincoln citizens now , nnd ad-
J ditlonul caloric was Injected Into the cam
paign today when the Independent city cen
tral committee applied to the district court
for a mandamus to compel City Clerk Van
Duyn to place the names of O. W. Cromwell ,
candidate for city attorney ; J. C. MoNerny ,
jiollco Judge ; William Croinbie , water com
missioner ; J. I . Walton , city engineer , on
the Australian ballot. These ofllccs were
tilled last year , prosuai.ibly for two years ,
but Mayor Weir has taken legal advice and
included them In his election proclamation ,
claiming that the election last year was
simply to fill a vacancy. In order to test the
matter nnd receive the court's endorsement
or disapproval It was arranged that the city
clerk should refuse to place those names on
the ticket and afford Interested parties an
opportunity to test it in the courts. The
history of the controversy Is a long one , but
interesting.
History of tlio Controverity.
For four years prior to March , 1837 , Lincoln
was organUcd as a city of the second class
having more than 10,000 inhabitants.
On March 25 , 1887 , the governor approved an
act to Incorporate cities of the first class
having loss than 00,000 and more
than 25,000 Inhabitants. This was
an original act. It was not amend
atory of the act under which Lincoln was
then Incorporated. That act , somewhat
amended , is still in force , and several cities
in this state are now orcanlicd under It.
On the date mentioned the governor
issued his proclamation declaring Lin
coln a citv of the first class. On the first
Tuesday of the ensuing April the elec
tors of the reorganized city of Lincoln
elected a mayor , treasurer , clerk ' and cotin-
cltmon under the now law. On' March 2U ,
18S9 , the governor approved an act to Incor
porate cities of the llrst class. This now not
repealed the act of 1887. But an examina
tion of its provisions will show that it was
amendatory of the act of 1837 , and was not
an original act. The governor Issued no
proclamation under the law of 188' ' ) . April i ) ,
1801 , the governor approved an act amenda
tory of the aut of Ibs'J. ' No proclamation has
been issued by the governor under this act ,
and none since the proclamation of March
25 , 1837.
The great authority upon municipal cor
porations says : "A repeating clause In a re
vised and amendatory charter , whereby a
former provision is included in the revised
act. does not , ns to such provision , interrupt
the continuity of the original act. " 1. Dil
lon on Municipal Corporations , section 80.
Under the rule thus announced , and by
force of section 5J of the charter , the words ,
"at the first annual election after such proc
lamation by the governor. " in section 1U ,
must bo held to refer to the governor's proc
lamation of March 25 , 1837. and the annual
election on the first Tuesday in April
thereafter. As amended in 1801 , there
fore , section 18 , in effect declares
that n mayor , treasurer , clerk , water
commissioner , city attorney , city engineer
and police Judge shall bo elected in 1837 "for
the term of two years and biennially there
after. " As thus construed , the statute de
clares , first , that the water commissioner ,
city attorney , city engineer anil police judge
shall bo elected at the same election at
which the mayor , treasurer and clerk are
elected ; and second , that each election shall
be held in 1837 and biennially thereafter.
Additional interest in the campaign Is in
fused by the organized effort to compel the
withdrawal of 11. 13. Graham , republican
candidate for' mayor , and place .lohn n.
Wright In his stead. The matter will be dis
cussed at a meeting of the republican city
central committee tomorrow evening.
Fought fur the Olllco.
North Ninth street was the scene of an ex
citing scrap this morning. The Daily Union
ist is the title of a morning paper that has
been issued daily by the striking printers ,
the material having been rented by the
printers from William O'Shca. On this ma
terial Hallouk & Co. of Omaha held a chattel
mortgage , which they some weeks ago sold
to John Mclntosh , a master printer of this
city. The mortgage was overdue , and at 0
o'clock this morning Mclntosh and a con
stable appeared for the purpose of taking
possession. By some means the boys had
learned of the anticipated move and had
sent their forms to the Newspaper union to
bo printed before the constable arrived.
They contained a scrcecher of an editorial ,
denouncing the action ns instigated by the
Journal and the boodle gang to kill the
paper nnd cripple the Typographical union.
A rush was made by the constable to secure
the forms , but they had been hurriedly
stereotyped anu the edition came out ail
right.
The constable and mortgagee next ap
peared with a big van , and were loading up
with the entire contents of the oflico , when
William O'Shca appeared and ordered them
to Icavo a portion of the goods , which it
transpired later were not covered by Mclu.
tosh's mortgage. Before this was dis
covered , however , Molntosh nnd O'Shea had
a little round-up with their fists , and the
police were called , but no arrests made.
There wore lively times for a few minutes ,
but the material was moved to South Tenth
street , where it will bo used In the publica
tion of a daily labor paper in the interests
of Graham , republican nominee for mayor.
The new paper will bo known as the Ne
braska Wormnan , and the union printers
claim It is started with the intention of
breaking the strike.

Cough
"For more than twcnty-fivo years , &
was a sufferer from lung trouble , at
tended with coughing so severe at times
ns to cause hemorrhage , the paroxysms
frequently lasting three or four hours.
I was Induced to try Ayer's Cherry Pec
toral , and after taking four bottles , was
thoroughly cured.Franz Hoffman ,

La Grippe
"Last spring I was taken down with
la grippe. At times I was completely
prostrated , and so difficult was my
breathing that my breast scorned as if
confined lu an Iron cage. I procured a
bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral , and
no sooner had I began taking It than
relief followed. I could not believe that
the effect would bo so rapid and the
cure so complete. " W. II. Williams ,

Are those ignorant pretenders who ,
without any qualifications , any ability ,
any experience , any skill , claim to
possess the power to cure all the ills of
he human race. But their want of
worth soon becomes apparent to their
would-be dupes , and these conscionco-
lossq.un.cks ara soon consigned to the
oblivion they so richly merit.
In stranga and strong : contrastwith
those miserable boasters is the quiet ,
dignified yet courteous demeanor of
hose noted leaders of their profession ,
Who , during the past 27 years , have
abundantly demonstrated their ability
to effect speedy , perfect and permanent
cures in all the wornt forma of those del
icate sexual maladies embraced within
the general terms of

than our Top

it's not half so
stylish You'll
look better after a week's trial of one of
our nobby Spring Overcoats than you
would with the same amount of experi

no desire to stir up a fight with the

Lieht Overcoats are a whole lot nicer

to take than Pneumonia medicine.
