Tattooed Tom's effort to get n word
or two at the crowd which had been
drawn out to hear n speech from Gov

none of it.
"We shall probably have to wait for
the formal notification of Senator Hill

And then the senator will hang his lint

Five members of the Hoard of Educa

Hon. Wlllam T * . Wilson , of Went Vlr-
gin hi , chairman of the house committee
on ways and moans , will bo bnck In the
I'lillfd States today If the sti-amer on

lie will return with his health much I in-
proved , for he- has Hcvemt WOP ! < K of
hard campaigning before- him that will
call for nil the physical energy he can
command. The democratic constituents
of the distinguished tariff reformer have
made proparntliiiiH to give him n wel-
ciniic home that will comport with his
position as n party leader , hut they will
hurdly bo nble to do anything that
will ho qnlli' so memorable us the dinner -

exceptional thing for nn American con-
gros man to bo thus honored , and In-
\Vllhon Is the llrst to leceivt1 such ntton-
tlnn from the London Chamber of Com-
mem1. A number of members of. con-
gross have A-isllod Kngland during the
past thirty years , hut none of them had
done anything , as the West Virginian
ropresoiitntlve did , to help the Industries
of Croat Britain and consequently had
no claim to tlu > consideration of the
great organization of Ilrlttsh free
traders. They would have been nn-
grateful , Indeed , if they had fulled to
manifest their appreciation of Mr. Wil
son's service In their behalf , and that
ho Justified the attention shown him
tils assurances to his entertainers sulfl-
clontly attest.
Mr. Wilson comes back to continue
the contest for tearing down the defenses -
fenses reared by protection against the
destructive competition of foreign manufacturers -
ufacturers , and especially those of I0ng-
hind , with the manufacturers of his own
countryThis. . In effect , is what he
promised his British ejitertalners. It is
possible that the voters of the Second
\Wst Virginia congressional district
may not approve of this purpose. There
arc some struggling Industries tn that
district that still need to be defended
and the loss of which would be a serious
matter to n considerable number of pco-
plt . There are coal mining Interest : !
there , also , that would not be benefited
by the success of the Wilson policy.
There Is reason to believe that he may
hoar from these in n way to convince
him that British approbation of Ills
efforts is not a satisfactory recommen
dation lo the confldcncu and support of
tin American industrial community.
There will be widespread Interest In
Hie campaign in Mr. Wilson's district
from now on.
THK XUOAIl JUVIIfKt'T.
The fact that the imposition of the
'new Import duty upon sugar , both raw
and refined , has not materially affected
the price of sugar Is being pointed out
in many quarters as an anomaly In the
Industrial sifnaUon. It was freely pre
dicted at the time the sugar schedule
was under consideration , and It was
but naturally to be expected , that the
price of sugar on the market would ,
upon the enactment of the new tariff
law , be Increased Immediately by at
least as much as the increase In duty.
In fact , this expectation was one of the
main reasons advanced by those who
professed to advocate a tax on sugar as
a revenue measure , it being argued
that by this means the sum raised
would be apportioned among the whole
number of people In the Increased
amounts which they must pay for the
sugar which they consume.
Yet the sugar market lias remained
suh.ttantlally unchanged. On August
12S , when the now tariff law went Into
effect , the quotation price of centrifugal
sugar was iTJi cents per pound. It has
not been higher since , and to effect
sales now a .shade of reduction from
tills would have to bo made. The price
of granulated sugar on August 28 was
1.72 cents net cash. It Is quoted now ut
> l.4t cents net cash. Previously , at the
time when the movement In sugar be
gan in consequence of an anticipated
change lu the duty , centrifugal sugars
were selling at 8K1 cents. This was the
price on August 1 , when granulated
.sugars were selling atl.as Cents. In- *
stond , therefore , of there being a rise in '
the price of sugar as a direct result of
the new tariff law , the price is almost
back where it was on August 1 , when
the passn'gc of the hill was btill a mat
ter of grave doubt.
The explanation Is not so very dllll-
cnlt. Under modern market methods
many of the prospective- price changes
nre discounted In advance , nnd the varl- I
ntlous instead of being sharp niul
ur more usually sintill anil many. Tlio
stork of sugar In tills country lwn been '
HO largely Increased during the period
of the old duties In tlio hope of a rise In
in-let ; with tlio advent ot thu new duties
that lu order tn sell ut nil sugar linn to
lie offered ut the old llgure. Nearly
every 'dealer who WIH able to tlo so
Hslocked up lu advance , nnil the supply
Is still good for n considerable time to
come. Another factpr that Is contrlbut-
It
Ins to the same result Is tlmtthe tradu t
Is just cuiturliiK n new year for sugar ,
which iiroinlses an extraordinary prod 1-
11
uct. The boot miKiir crop , It Is o.sti-
1y
mated , will exceed that of last year by

there Is no other outlet than the United
States , uud therefore the most of It will
hare to iind Its way to thu American
market ut prices low enough to Induce
thu people to buy. It will , furthermore ,
be to the Interest of foreign producers
to keep jirlces down for u while , at any
rute , lu order to dlscouragu nny iyw
nmiffiir enterprises la this country. Ono
nauthority says that they are already
sioffering Khlpmentti of gramilntcil HUgar
for thu first six mouths ot next year ,
e1S1X3 , at un equivalent of 4.17 rents per
pound landed In New York , against
the present Now York price of 4.-I1
cents. It U readily been that any nil HO
which retailers of sugar may ro
forced upon their customers has ot
licen nt nil Justified by HIP state of th
market
While the now law lias not yet mn-
torlally Increased the price of sugar It
has unquestionably prevented a de
crease In price , which Avonltt otherwise
have been innnlfeHt. Dealers- would
porhapi not have laid In such large
storks were It not for the InrlfC changes ,
hut tlio Immense Increase of supply In
sight must necessarily have had n de
pressing effect. Sugar prices would , In
the absence of the duty , perhaps , not bo
lower by the entire amount of the tax ,
but If the tax were removed now It
would certainly fall several notches.
The fall. In that wise , would be the ac
curate measure of the extent to which
the sugar duly now prevents n reduction
iii price.

Villon I'nclllo railroad olllclals assure
mouthers of the council that tlioy menu
to do the right thing by Omaha and
the roads that will want to use the
union depot and terminal facilities , and
they also assure these couurllmen that
the receivers and the court will sanec
tlou the compact embodied In the union
depot ordinance. Those pledges must
lie inUcn for uliat they arc worth. They
could not bo enforced In it court of law
and nre. In no way binding upon the
company. ( They could bo repudiated
the ' moment the deeds and telonscs have
passed out of the hands of the mayor.
Furthermore , \vhut guaranty have wo
that the present olllcers of the Union
Pacific who make these , verbal pledges
Avlll be In position to redeem them six
months hence ? Mr. Chirk may resign
his olllco any day or he may be super
seded In case a majority of the Union
Tacillc stock passes out of the hands of
the men who hold a controlling Interest
today. All these contingencies are
within the range of possibility. Would
nny man entering Into a deal with n
great * ' corporation In which the transfer
of a million dollars worth of real
|
estate ! Is Involved take the verbal
pledges of the corporation malingers as
a consideration for passing titles ?
Would . they not only Insist that all con
ditions J to the compact be embodied In
black . and white In a legally drawn
document ! , after It had been ratified by
the board of directors or stockholders
as the law might require ?
Why should the clly council of Omaha
pursue n different course ? Why should
not the provision relative to thu Joint
use of transfer and depot facilities at
reasonable rates bu engrafted in the
ordinance and made part of the propo
sition submitted to the voters ? Why
should not also the verbal pledge to
. .
llnlsh the depot according to original
plans ! be. embodied In the ordinance with
the further precaution that the con
veyance of title shall not pass out of
the hands of the mayor until the
structure . has been Inspected by the
Board of Public Works and the city
engineer , and found to bu constructed
.
In conformity with the original plans
and specifications ?
And this brings up another question :
Where are those plans and specifica
tions now and who Is to judge what
modifications and .changes-authorized
by the Ilascall ordinance are proper and
permissible ?
If there Is to bo no Jugglery in this
deal why not Insert such safeguards
as any rational business man would
Insist on lu any contract that Involves
interests of such magnitude ?
Governor McKInley lias every reason
to feel proud of the reception accorded
him In Omahn. The vast throng that
greeted him at the Coliseum Included
people of all political parties. Their
presence there was largely a personal
compliment to Mr. McKInley , for they
had applause for nobody but him.
Hoference to other distinguished repub
lican leaders elicited but faint signs of
recognition and thu dramatically timed
llj
entrance of the tattooed candidate at
the.hcad of the republican state ticket
fell flat so far as exciting enthusiasm
was concerned , and failed to stimulate
enough noise to even Interrupt the
speaker for a second. It was n dis
tlnctly McKInley meeting and the
moment McKInley stopped talking the
audience would stay to llntcn to no ono
else. Wo venture to say that few , If
any , American statesmen other than
Governor McKInley could attract a
similar crowd for a speech lu this city.
When the free silver advocates of ;
Ohio try to prove that the relative pro'
ductlon of gold and silver lias for -100
years prior to 1873 been not quite in of
silver to 1 of gold , and since 187.'l not
to exceed 10 of silver to 1 of gold , they
prove altogether too much for their
cause. Their chief argument for the Im
mediate restoration of the free coinage
of both gold and silver nt the old ratio
Is that gold has appreciated because of
Insulllclent production. Now , their
claim that there has been no overpro
duction of silver in comparison with
hu
gold carries with It the logical conclu-
ur
slon that there has been no underpro r -
duction of gohl In comparison with sll- ; lid
ln
ver. In branching out In this direction >
the Ohio sllverltes have gone beyond
their depth.

Tom Mnjors vlnlted Dlalr the other day
and ' met witli a Illtlo warmer reception than
ho had anticipated. Ho was clinperoncd by
Mr. Thco Mailer , but a oerlcs ot mistaken
made by tlioJtuMe has resulted hi a coolness
between lilmani , ] the tattooed man.
A tour of rthtJ buslnciB men of the town
waa undertaken Jam ) among HIP stores vis
ited was thit at Mr. F'sssmiclit , who , al
though n slfonk republican. Is not support
ing the head of Iho ticket this year.
"Here's the man you are going to vote for
for governor , " said , Air. Uiillcr , In Ills face
tious manner , by. why ot Introducing Tom to
the miictant.
Fasinacht jumped f to the conclusion that
ho was confronted by Jndgo Holcomb , and
after aliaklng him warmly by the hand ho
began to open up tils ball Tie * on Tattooed
, Tom. Ho had only proceeded a few sentences
before Majors dlscovcnd the hallucination
under which Mr. KaEsriaclit was laboring
and ha proceeded to make himself known.
' "Well , " salJ Mr. Kassnacht , "I am glad
tie have the opportunity to say what I think
of you to your face. As for your war rec
ord , there Is none better ; but I can't vote
far a man whose record outside of the army
It as rotten as yours. You are a good repub
lican , and so am I ; but you arc In bad com
pany , and until you got loose from the. string
you have wound about you anil explain the
charges ngainst you , you arc gone up. In
fact , you arc gone up anyway. Hut If I were
you I would come right out and explain and
try to set myself right before the pjople ,
and then I'd take defeat with the best grace
possible. "
This ended the conversation , for Tattooed
Tom didn't care to explain.
After leaving Mr. Fassnacht's store. In a
rather crestfallen condition , Turn's guide
steered him up against the first man he met.
This proved to be Peter Gllbertson , a staunch
populist.
"Let me make you acquainted with one of
our best fanners , " was the way In which
Mr. Hallcr smilingly Introduced Mr. Gilbert-
son to the railroad republican leader.
"Glad to .meet you , " said the urbane
Thomas. "Wo will need your help In turning
down thed n pojmllsts. "
"Well , you don't get It. " shouted Mr.
Qtlbertson. "It you arc going to do any
turning down , I'mone of the people that
will go under. Do you hear me ? "
Tom heard.
Mr. Majors' stay In Dlalr was several
hours shorter than he had Intended , and
his Intercourse with Mr. Haller during that
period was of a character that did not make
the angola smile.
Mr. Wilds , who witnessed these amusing
encounter * , was as sober as a deacon during
tlio whole seance- , and when asked for a.
itatement of what happened he would only
say :
'It was most embarrassing very much
so. "
When next November rolN nround
Anil nil the votes are took ,
On Majors' face there will be found
A very worried look.
Ills hickory shirt he'll sadly tear ;
The vote his KOOSC will cook ;
And all that Tattooed Tom will wear
Will be a wen-led look.
And \\lien the vote Is counted quite
There'll be no worried look ;
For Majors will be out of sight

Is the head of the church and the "Little
Father" of Ills people. Ills illness Is. a na
tional peril , and his death Is always a pro
found shock to the masses. It would bo al
most Impossible to drive Itussla Into so
momentous n venture BE H great war while
her ruler is fighting for his life- against a
deadly disease. If the Inclinations of the heir
to the throne arc as strongly German as
European advices assert , then It may be
further predicted that the pusltlon nnd In
fluence of Russia nro to become more favor
able , In the near future , to the maintenance
ot peace than the attitude of that country
ever baa been In recent years. Should the
czarowltz make It clear , on his elevation to
the- throne , that henceforth Prance will have
nothing to hope from Russia , there will be
no chances of nn BRRresslve movement on
the part of the French republic toward the
Triple Alliance , and Germany will be safe
from attack as long as she pursues the peace
ful course which has lately been followed.
The outlook for the peace of Europe has
never been better than It Is now , nnd It Is
difficult to see wherein any country of Im
portance could hope to gain materially by
precipitating a conflict so prodigious that
the most warlike sovereign might well shrink
from causing the explosion for v.hlch the
world has long been waiting.

The grand duVe Nicholas , who Is the heir
apparent of the czar of all the Husslae , Is
a good deal of an unknown quantity. Ho Is
young , under 30 , has never taken any prom
inent position at the court of his father , and
has bJen debarred from politics and the army
by oniclal ctlquet and Inclination. He Is
said to be something of a student , and to
have lived a tolerably cleanly life for a
Ilusslan prince , but not to Irrtpress observers
.19 a man of n high order of Intelligence or
much force. Politically his leanings are said
to be toward Germany and Austria rather
than France , and toward England because of
the alliance with the royal house of that
country he is about to make by marriage.
Princess All * of Hesse , daughter of 1'rln-
cesa Alice of England ami granddaughter of
the queen , is to be the future empress of
Russia , anil she was to have been received
into the Greek church this week as a pre
liminary to the marriage. The Illness of ihe
czar has caused the suspension ot all worl-
dtng preparations , It la said. Tlio .K-uot
seems to be general whether'the czarowltz
has force of character enough to reign suc
cessfully over Ihe great empire which his
father rules , and this doubt is not the least
ot the causes of the widespread anxiety
which the approaching death ot the czar Is
causing throughout Kuropc.
There are a good many Interesting facts In
the newly Issued general report of the British
Board of Trade upon the railroad accidents
In the United Kingdom during 1893. It ap-
pears that the total number of accidents
to trains was forty-six , the lowest on record ,
and only about one-fourth of the number that
used to occur twenty years ago , when the
statistics wore first collected , Within that
tlmo the number of passenger trains has
more than doubled. There were seventeen
passengers killed In 1S93 , or one In Gl.000.000
Journeys , and 484 were Injured , or one In
1,801,000 Journeys. These figures also estab
lish new low records. The four principal ac
cidents were due to trains leaving the rails.
-About one-half the accidents were- caused by
the negligence or mistakes of railroad officers
or servants , and seven were due to defective
arrangement of signals. Only two were the
result of a lalluro of brakes. It Is satls-
'actory to note that the number of colli
sions from whatever cause Is declining stcad-
ly. Taking all canes and classes of acci
dents Into account , the report shows that
only one passenger Is killed In 8.237.000
lourneya , and only one In 715,000 Is Injured.
This Is the highest and worst estimate , fern
n train accidents the Immunity Is vastly
greater ,
The political strife over tlio civil marriage
Ml In Hungary Is not quite ended yet , for
: ho bill In relation to the religion of children
Issuing from mixed marriages has yet to be
passed In the Clumber of Magnates and must
adopted before the civil marriage bill
Itself can become a law. as all these ecclesi
astical measures arc to be presented together
for the royal sanction. The Irreconcilable
altramontanes have rallied under the leader
ship of Count Ferdinand Zlcny , and propose
to make as much trouble as they can. Com
menting upon this state of affairs , the cor
respondent of the London Times In Vienna
says : "The present prlmato of Hungary Is a
high-minded patriot enjoying universal es
teem both In hiown country and In this part
ot the monarchy. He made a hard fight
against the. civil marriage bill , but , seeing
that a prolongation of the struggle In con
nection with , the measure now about to be
submitted to the Chamber of Magnates would
merely serve to keep up a dangerous agita
tion for no conceivable purpose , he has. now
pronounced himself In favor of religious har
mony. The irreconcilable ultramontanes have
rallied around Count Ferdinand Zlchy and re
fuse to lay down their arms. It Is keenly
felt at Budapest that anything like a repe
tition of the unedlfylng debate to which the
civil marriage bill gave rise would by no
means tend to enhance the prestige of Hun
gary abroad or substantiate Its reputation as
ono of the enlightened states of the continent.
A large number of the magnates are them
selves desirous of avoiding a recurrence of
such proceedings , and already efforts are bo
Ing made to counteract Count Ferdinand
Zlchy's plan of campaign. "

According to a report Just Issued by the
Bank of England the liquidation of the great
banking house ot Baring , which came to grief
three yeara ago , may now be regarded as
completed. The liabilities of the firm at the
time of Its collapse amounted , as It may be
remembered , to some $120,000,000. Dy a
Judicious disposal of the assets , the Indebted
ness has been reduced to $10,000,000 , and a
syndicate has been formed In London for
the purpose ot taking aver the rcmalnln ;
South American stocks not as yet realizet
upon by the Bank of England at a price that
will more than cover the outstanding debt
Inasmuch aa these stocks are still rising In
value , the syndicate expects to reap a hand
some surplus. The Old Lady of Thrcadneedle
street deserves every credit for the sklllfu
manner In which she has brought this lingo

THE CZAR'S ' CONDITION

THE SERIOUS RESULTS

Two Year * Ago ,
LONDON , Oct. 2. I'rof. Iydcn of Berlin.
thn celebrated specialist , who wag lent for
by the czar , bait diagnosticated his ailment ft
ns Bright' * dlNuo of trie via : x In an ad- *
vanccd stage. Press Coble.
This announcement , simple s It m * ? s9ra ,
has thrown the nations of Europe Into n
state of excitement. If the czar dies Franco
will probably sutler , Germany bo helped
ami the nations of Europe unsettled ,
Two years ago thti not of warning was
sounded In America , It bccamo known at
that . time that the czar was suffering from
headaches , dcpresml feelings , acute pains
In various parts ot the body , uncertain ap
petite , sleeplessness and other Irregularities.
A retinue of court physicians failed to un
derstand what these unmistakable symptoma
meant , but In America , where discovery and
science have accomplished so much , It WAR
Instantly seep that the czar was suffering
from Brlght'a disease of the kidney * , which
Is certain to end In serious disease or death
unless taken In time. Acting upon this
knowledge the papers of America epoko
freely ot the fact that "the czar was In
danger. "
The natural result has come. Drlglit's
disease , In nn advanced stage , has attacked
tha lineal descendant of Peter the Great ,
and the nations ot the world await with
anxiety the result. Had the note of warn
ing which was sounded In America been
taken the healUi ot the Imperial monarch
would today undoubtedly be perfect. The
great modern malady Is brlght's disease.
It steals like a thief Into the system , shad
ing the symptoms of nearly every disease ,
and different symptoms In each person. It
Is the most dangerous of all known diseases ,
whether It attacks men , women or Innocent
children. U Is more Insidious than con
sumption , and fully as fatal. Its great
danger lies In Its deceptive nature , for few
people realize that they arc Its victt until It
U too Into. Indeed , there nro cases where
men and women have died without gvcn sus
pecting they hid the disease. Thcro has
never been but one remedy for it , although
scientists strove .for years to Iind one. That
remedy , which Is known as n household word ,
which Is the means of preserving the lives
of so many thousand of men and women ,
which Is the most popular remedy today ,
Is Warner's Safe Cure. Physicians , scien
tists , the world In general , all admit this ,
nnd whether high or low , rich or poor , "when
any trouble of this nature attacks them fly
at once to this spreat sovereign remedy for
relief. The trouble Is that law people real
ize In time that they arc suffering from
j Brlght's disease. It is true they notlca
they are not well , that they feel unnatural ,
that something Is the matter , but they do not
understand how the canker of disease Is
feeding upon their systems until , alas ! too
often It becomes too late.
The lesson which should come tn All aa
it should have come to the czar two years
ago Is this watch yourself carefully. No
tice your condition. Observe your symp
toms. If your kidneys , liver , bladder or
urinary organs era disordered , Irregular or
uncertain. If you. feel a lack of Ufa , a dim- * Vf
ness of vision , a letting down of the vital 1 < r"
forces ; If Indeed you observe In any degrea
that ' you are not up to the measure of health
which you formerly had It Is the sure sign .
of Brlght's disease. If you have these feelIngs -
, Ings j do not delay for an Instant , tout put , '
yourself Into perfect condition without delay.
This you can do if you only will. This the
czar could have done two- years ago. There
Is danger in delay , but there Is safety In
promptness and care.

First : the oloth is all carefully
selected , and none but evenly
woven fabrics are used. Some
times real good cloth gets out of
shape when it's made up in a
garment ; thats because of an unevenness -
evenness in the weave the
operative has probably neglected his machine and
a thin spot occurs which a little wear raveals. This
and a hundred little things ara what are neco jsary
to avoid to insure perfect clothing. No one but
the manufacturers can be sure of perfection. We
