The republic : ! ! ! primary elections In Lincoln
rij in jitnyroiii today nnd if the names on
thr.sovcntl delegation * are to bo given nny
slgnltleanco tbo county convention which
jncots In tills city this week will end idulo -
gnllon to the state convention which will on-
pose the rQiionilnatlon of Judge Maxwell
flist , last anil nil the ttmo. Tlio issues In
thu county convention nro purely local nnd
the delegations which nro bolus chosnu to-
tiny nit ) selected without any particular
roforcnco to state matters. But 'It Is apparent -
parent thnt tlio county convention Is in the
hands of dele-Kites who vlll oppose any
proposition to instruct its delegates to thn
state convention to vote for Maxwell. The
piobablllty Is that the delegates to the state
convention will go yntlroly untmtructcd , but
it Is certain tlmlnonoof thorn will bo for
the Fremont Justice.
At the conilnff county convention n full
county tclot ! : Is to bo placed In nomination ,
and thcro nro from ono to n doinn candi
dates for each ofllco. Otio ol the signlllcaut
fights in progress is being made on .Hnlgo
Lansing , whu desires to succeed himself : i
county Judgo. Tlio contest for thlsofllcu
will bo ono of the warmest in the conven
tion. The next ofilco in impovtnnco for
which there will bo n struggle Is thai , of
sheriff , for which thcro nro a number of
candidates. An usual , thcro Is n blttor
struggle over the smaller ofilccs , nnd the
men who Ucslro to bo made constable or Justice -
tico of the poiiuo nro making more nolso than
the candidates for Judge of the supreme
court. This is probably explained by tbo
fact thnt these ofllcos pay better salaries
than a place on the supreme bench and that
the men who aw fortunate enough to sceuro
tlio republican nomination in Lincoln nro
certain of being elected.
There U considerable talk In Lincoln this
afternoon of Instructing the Lancaster dele
gation to the state convention forJudpo
Jcsso B. Strode as u canilldato for the supreme
premo bench , but up to tbo present wrltlnc
the talk ha < i butllltlo earnestness behind It.

through a chattel mortgage The name of
the complainant is not made public.
Ho is1 represented1 by Judge Clarkson , and

of tho. parties who know the particulars
would make any statements concerning the
matter.
Ofllcers believe that Brett has obtained
Information that ho is wanted and has
doubtless made his cscupo' from the city.
Ho has been In Omaha but a short time.
Brett was at one tlmo proprietor of the

Irrigation Is an Art.
But to suvo the time that it would tnko
to learn it by experimenting , the Bre-
rnont Canal Co. , in tlio North Platte valley -
loy , employs a superintendent who is an
experienced irrigntor as well as a prac
tical farmer , and his business is to inovo
amonfr the farmers and tell them when
and how to apply tlio water to each par
ticular crop. The farmer thus begins
at once to reap the benefit of irrigation
in the ubsolutu certainty of raising a
crop , tlio greatly increased yield and
the equally improved quality of the pro
duct. 40 acres makes a farm , and tlio
farm is a fortune in itself , for ouch acre ,
with your own. labor , will yield you 8100

"I expect the debate in the house ever the
bill repealing the federal election laws to bo
as acrimonious nnd long In duration ns was
the debate in the sctmto when the demo
crats filibustered against the force bill , "
, ata' ' Representative Burrows ot Michigan
today. "Tho republicans In the house nt > >
[ lotcrmliicd that the bill shall never pass
until the democrats bring In nnd force the
adoption of cloturo. Our blood Is up and
wo Intend to malco * the fur lly when the
measure comes before the houso. I presume
no effort will be made to limit the debate
iintll It has progressed several days. There
will bo some of the hottest speeches ever
heard In the houso. Then the committee on
rules will try to reach nn agreement to
limit the dobato.
"Wo will decline all negotiations , after
which I have no doubt the committee will
force cloturo. Wo want to tell them what
wo think of them and then compel them la
resort to the thing they have always do-
uounrcd. Even after cloture Is reported the
republicans will filibuster. Wo intend to
'dlo ' in the last ditch. ' I have no sort of
notion that the bill can pass tlio senate.
The democrats sot the example in dilatory
tactics in n filibuster against the force bill
ana now the hen will come homo to roost
and their plan will servo to defeat their own
measure. The bill will soon como before the
house , but I don't expect it to pass until the
senate disposes of the silver repeal bill ,
an it might go to the scnato nnd displace
that measure if action was taken upon it
before tlio scnato passed upon silver. "
I'rolmblo Turin" I.oclftliuloii ,
But two more days will bo given by the
house commlttco on ways and moans to
tnrlft hearings. Tomorrow will be devoted
to sugar , nnd it is likely the proceedings
will bo the most Interesting of any wnlch
have taken place. Claus Sprcckfcs , the
great sugar producer and refiner of Califor
nia and Hawaii , Is in the city and will likely
have something to say to the committee.
Mr , Sprceklcs will probably say that ho
docs not care personally , whether there Is a
bounty or a duty , or whether both are
abolished , as to admit sugar free nnd dls-
courage the homo industry would hcln him
In his immense sugar producing business in
Hawaii , especially slnco the arrangements by
which products from certain countries come
in free of duty under commercial reciprocity
are to be abolished.
Mr. Spreckles , however , prefers to have
the sugar bounty retained and no duty
placed upon the imported article as nt pres
ent. Cluus Spreckles Is sly. Ho comes
hero under the pretense of looking after
Hawaiian annexation. It is prohablo that
tno bill which will bo reported by the ways
and moans commlttco will abolish the sugar
bounty and place the duty at 1 cent a pouna
upon the raw article , but it Is believed that
while the senate may , for the purpose o"
raising revenue , adopt tna duty feature , ii
will insist unon continuing the bounty for
at icasi a low years. i > inny luiiuuii uoiiars
have been invested in bout sugar factories
and thousands of farmers and others have
engaged In the production of sugar beets
under the inducement's hold out by the
bounty law. To repeal It now would be
gross deception and rank injustice , whleh It
is thought the senate will not endorse.
