In a Coin IncliiK Manner.
Confident that every free and public dis
cussion at the financial < | uestlon can only re
sult to the detriment of tlio free silver
fallacy , the Fifth ward republicans arc will-
Inn to give all the frctdom possible to ar-
Kiiment on the subject. This was demon
strated last night when a joint discussion
of this Isiuo of the campaign was held last
night by an upholder of either sldo tinder
the auspices of the Klfth Ward Itopubllcan
club , In Its hall at Eighteenth anil Lake
streets.
The arguments wcro llsioned to by an
audience lint packed the hall to Its fullest
capacity and eton necessitated the use of
the sidewalk In front. The speakers , J.
W. Logan of free silver fnlth , and C. Karrell ,
a democrat who dcslics no ftee slher In his ,
wcro llsteicd to with tloso attention. The
applause was generous but Mr. Kairell had
considerably the best of It , as well as of the
argument.
Mr Logan did not appear to he very full
of his subject , and In fact barely touched It.
Ills opening speech was devoted entirely to
n denunciation of the national banking sys
tem , which did not bear very dlicctly on the
subject In hand In closing he madu the em
phatic statement that free silver would
bring salvation to the- country and then
called upon Mr Turrell to dispute the state
ment.
Mi IJarrell did this with a vengeance and
In a mm nor th.tt was highly satisfactory to
the audience , If not to Mr Logan In dlrert
contradiction to the lattcr's method ho de
voted his whole talk to money. lie started
out by HE j Ing thut he wanted to face eveiy
United States dollar worth 100 cents all ovci
the world In pajmcnt of all debts and In
exchange for all articles Thereupon he
plunged Into his subject. Ho stated that the
free silverltes asserted that if the amount of
the circulating medium was increased , busi
ness would Inerease , prlccs > would rise and
coiibequcntly mom and better employment
would be offered the laboring men The
fallacy of this reasoning was Incicnsed ,
pi ices would ( oiuspondlngly Increase , but
the wage of the laborer vould remain at the
old figure and therefore all the advantage
would bo gained by the employer , If any ad
vantage was gained at all.
Iho bpcaker admitted , however , that an
advantage would ho attained by the free
coinage of the white metal In scaling down
debts , but ho maintained that honor am :
honesty required that this should never be
done. He said thut. In a word , the aim of
the free silverltes appeared to bo a desliu
to beat their creditors Mr Fan ell there
upon went on to say that the world ever
'since time Immemorial has been trjlng to
keep silver equal to gold and has ne\er
succeeded. He deseilbcd the present schcmo
of the silver men , by which the government
was tailed upon to coin all silver , no
matter what Us bullion value , end to give
In exchange 100-cent dollars at the latlo of
IB ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold
By such a method , the speaker main
tained , that higher prlees.ould reign on
account of the depreciation of the curiency
rather than because of the Increase of the
circulating medium.
Mr Logan failed to answer the argu
ments lu place of that he reiterated the
tlmcworn allegation that the country Is
continually borrowing fiom Hnsland and Is
becoming crushed under the heel ot Lom-
baid stieet. He said that the United States
Is suffuiing from n tremendous debt , and
the only way ho saw of getting out of It
was to "dig enough silver out of U'o mines
to liquidate It" Ho followed with an eu
logy of Ilrjan a long denunciation of the
republican doctilno of protection , and the
statement that he was "convinced that
with fiee eolnage we will be better ( Ked "
Mr Tan ell could not quarrel with his
opponent on the protection question , and
therefore followed up In a closing speech
with another bombardment of the white
metal theoiy , consisting principally of fads
and figure" , fiom the census He showed
that since the "crime of ' 7.1" the country
was In every way more prospeious than
befoio that time , under a silver leglme.
Ho said finally tint unless the free silver
theory succeeded In raising silver to a ratio
of 1C to 1 In the markets of the world , o
which thcro was no pi oof the fallacious
fabilc must fall to the giound.

peared to take a gieat Inteicst ( n the pio-
ccedlngp Music for the occasion was pro
vided by the Seventh Ward Military band
and a quaitet , composed of Messrs. Stevens ,

Phil 12. Winter presided at the meeting
and opened with a few remaiKs , during
which ho stated the meeting would be ad
dressed by life-long and djed-ln-tho-wool
democrats , who had announerd their in-
tontlun of hiippoitlng the republican nom
inees on the national ticket In this cam
paign.
The Hist speaker was A. S. Hltchle , who
mailo a lengthy speech , luvhlch ho dis
cussed the financial question In a general
way , sajliit ! that the question Involved In
the piescnt eampalgn wnu ono Involving the
honor anil Integrity of the govcinment.
Ono of the old paitlctt , ho said , hnd dls-
nppeaicd , had b.'en swallowed by u now
paity , and ho was left without a patty and
had icbolrpil to unite with the paity which
had adopted the policy of Iho old demo-
ciatlc party. The money question , ho said ,
was a great and nei Ions question , and h > -
ndvoe'ated leaving the solution of it to
men who Know fcomcthlng about finance , In
stead of to men llko Tlllnun and 1'cfTer ,
"who had ncvci earned an linmbt dollar
mid don't Know mi > thing about money "
Ho appealed to nil honest voteis to 10-
pudlato the doctrines whUh lliyan repre
sents. "Thousands of iloll.us arc being lost
every day in the business woild , " he said ,
"on account of a luck of conildcnco on the
part of the people who have money. " Mc-
Klnlej's iott3i of acceptance ho denom
inated as the clearest and most lurid ex
pression of the moiiuj- question ho had ever
seen , and hn unnrmiicotl his dotcimlnatlon
to vote the lepubllcan presidential ticket
and to follow that up by voting for Con-
ircssiuui ; ! Moici'i , and then ho said ho In
tended to put on the finishing touches by
voting the trpubllean stnto ticket from top
to bottom. He was loudly applauded , and
his talk kept the audlcui o In good huiuur
from start to finish
The quartet and the band entertained the
audience and then M 0 Aeheson , another
llfn-long dcmociat , was introduced. Ho

A meeting of the Hoard of Directors of
the Retail Groceis' association was held
labt evening at the looms of the Commci-
clal club. The principal subject up for dis
cussion was the one that hai already re
ceived a good deal of attention at the hands
of the grocers , namely , the "dead beat" ques
tion. While no definite agreement was ai-
rvied at It was the sense of the mcmbcis
that thcio should bo a time limit to all
credits , and It seemed to br > the Idea that
all bills not paid by the tenth day of the
ensuing month should bo considered de
linquent Under that auaiiftcmcnt parties
neglecting to pay their bills by that date
would not bo entitled to any further eiedlt
at any gioeery house In the city whoso pro-
prletois belong to the association.
The regular meeting for next Thursday
was postponed until September 10 on account
of the street paiadcs to be held next week
All grocers in the city were lequesled to
close their places ot business on Thursday
afternoon so as to give the- clerks an oppoi-
tuntty to attend the state fair ,
The board decided to Introduce an educa
tional feature Into the tegular meetings of
the futuie. They will have some topic for
discussion at cadi meeting that will bo of
Intel cst and benefit to the members , the
idea being that a duscnsalou of Important
mattcis pcitalulng to the business will
bring out much valuable Infounatlon.

William Shaw of Doston , treasurer of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor , who
acted as clerk of the trustees at their meet
ing in Washington , Is In the city. When
the Washington meeting was In progress
Omaha was a bidder for the national Chris
tian Hndeavor convention In 189S , and It
was charged by the committee from Omaha
that her chances were spoiled by certain
statements made to the trustees by lr.
Gordon , pastor of Westminster Presby
terian church In Omaha. Mr. Shaw , on
account of his official position at the time ,
was In position to know just the facts In
the case , and lie has no hesitation In giving
a full statement of the facts , that servo
to completely vindicate Dr. Gordon of the
charges made against him.
To a reporter for The lco ! Mr , Shaw
< . ! !
"t do not believe the trustees would com
mit themselves to any city previous to the
full discussion of the question , nnd the vote
In the meeting of the board. They may
have cxpicssed deep Interest In the claims
of Omaha , as 1 dll no self. Indeed , 1 think
I may claim that It was my suggestion ,
made after the splen'dld reception accorded
to me last April , that Omaha ought some
time In the future to repeat her invitation
for the international convention , that led
to the request for the 1SUS convention Hut
I also , by word of mouth and by letter , told
the committee not to build too confidently
on 1S9S , because there were others with
equally good claims In the Held befoio
them.
"Dr. Gordon's name win not mentioned ,
and no resident of Omaha was quoted ic-
gaidlng the finances or the ability of thu
city to care for the convention. The fact
that the Piesbytcrian ministers refused to
send a telegram endorsing the rcejuest foi
the convention was simply stated as an Item
of Infounatlon that the board ought to have.
"On the Informal ballot , taken after the
committed made Its plea , and befoie the
statement regarding the action of the Pres-
bjteilan ministers was made to the board ,
Omaha did not have a majority of the
votes , but rather had a very small minority ,
while on the formal ballot It did not have
a vote , the vote being Nashville , 23 ; Louisville
ville1 , , and Philadelphia , 1 , which was at
once made unanimous.
WANTED TO GO SOUTH.
"I regret exceedingly the spirit of criti
cism that has developed becaiibc of the de
cision of the trustees to hold the conven
tion ot ' 9S in Xashvlllo , and particularly
the attempt to hold one of jour honored
pastois , Dr Goielon. responsible for the
decision against Omaha. The fact Is , as
has been stated before , that for several
> earb the trustees have been convinced
that at 'ho ' earliest date practicable the
convention ought to go south There were
four cities in the field for the convention ,
and of them all Omaha had the least
cause to question the decision. Some of
the cities had been hard at work for a
year , while Omaha's campaign started three
weeks before the Washington convention.
"Nashville's ability to handle the con
vention depended largely upon her being
able to bccuro the use of the en'ennlal
exposition buildings. The exposition is to
be ! 'cld in 1SB7 , but the manage. ! > * apiecd
to let all the buildings lemain until IMS
and give the convention the free iirfo of the
same. It was 1S9S or none for Nashville
as much as for Omaha.
"Kurthermoie , the financial sldo in
Omaha's case consisted oferbal statements ,
whllo Nashville had the pledges In legal
form. I was perbonallv told by the Omaha
committee that they would like to have
thice months In which to complete the
financial anangements , In case the trustees
decided on Omaha.
"Tho committee was certainly misin
formed on many points , Judging from the
statement sent from Washington and signcel
bv it. "
The statement which Arthur Chase , George
Wallace. S. M. Waie , C. P. Clarke and Wil
liam J Leveictt bent out was to the effect
that their cffoils in behalf of Omaha weie
discredited by reason ot a letter purporting
to have come from Dr. Gordon , written to
Dr Ilamlln of the board , and In which it
was said that the 1'ies.byterlan ministers of
Omaha had failed to endorse the Invitation
of Omaha to the 1S9S convention. Another
statement made by the committee was , "Wo
have cvciy icabon to believe that had the
statements not been made , we would have
secuicd Shis great convention for our city in
1S9S. "

Two men who are thought to be post-
office robbers were arrested jcsterday
morning not 100 feet away from
the police station. The evidence that
Indicates that the men aio guilty
of the cilmo sscilbed to them con
sists of $137 S9 vvorth ot stamps of all de
nominations , which were found upon the
person of one of them.
The capture was n lueltj one. Inasmuch as
the detectives wore not awaio when the
arrest was made that the men weno any thing
more than suspicious charaeteis. They bore
a tough appearance and therefore the of
ficers "pinched" them. When taken to the
station they gave the names John Daley
and James Young.
The stamps wcro found beneath Young's
vest , wrapped In a newspaper bearing date
of August 20. They were of denominations
ranging from 1 to in cents , Including a num
ber of special oellverj stamps The iimjoilty
consisted of 2-cei t stamps. In the lining of
Youngs vest was also found a very fine
saw , which Is sufficient In the opinion of
the pollco to mark the possessor as a rrook
Hoth men weie fairly well supplied wltl
money. Upon Young's person was found n
$20 bill and Daley can led over $19. This
fact Is In Itself suspicious , because bellmen
men were dressed ns tramps and did not
bear the appearance of being burdened wltl
money.
The men were subjected to n sweat box
examination with little tesillt Young sail

stamps at Chnrlcs City , Kan. , from a mar
whose name ho had forgotten. He paid $5 (
for them as a speculation Ho said that he
linil been In Nebraska but a week.
Hoth men Insisted that they had become
acquainted with each other Wednesday am
i-ame lo Omaha from South Omaha jcslciday
morning In n freight car. Daley wore a now
hut , marked with the stamp of a loca
establishment , but he alleged that ho got
the headgear In Bcati Ice
Taley Is looked upon as the "smoothest1
of the two becaube he icfused to Incriminate
himself The police suspect that ho may
be a notorious horse thief and crook by the
name of Clark , but from last accounts this
man Is in the Plattsmouth Jail on a chargi
of burglary.
The local postofllce and tedeial authorities
were notified of the aircst , but were unable
to connect the prisoners with any post-
oflice robber > . The most recent crime of
this kind that has occuncd lu the state
Happened at Clai Its a couple of dajs ago
At this point the postolfico was cnteiod am !
the safe cracked The thieves carried awaj
$300 worth of goveinment papers , $ .250 In
stamps and some $75 in money. The Olarks
postmaster will be communicated with.
If the men are really pn toirice robbcib , am
can be convicted , the lucky capture will be.
a valuable one to the two fortunate
detectives. According to a recent circular
Issued by the Postofllce department a reward
of $150 Is offered for the conviction of rob
bers who succeed In getting away with be
tween $100 and $500 worth of postofllce
pioperlty. An additional reward of $200 Is
offered It a safe is clacked In the Job.
It has been Icarneel that the postofflco al

secured about $123 Worth of stamps anil sonio
$19 In money. The pobtmastcr Is not at

Our Fall styles in hcardwcar arc now ready and
nobody but sidewalk orators and stump politicians
will be allowed the privilege of talking through their
last year's hats. We would like some of these gen
tlemen to explain to "the great plain people' ' just
why it is tli.it hatters in New York and Boston , arc
getting $3.00 for hats that are not one whit better
than "The Nebraska Special , " which we are sel
ling for g 1.50. Is it on account of one productive
west of the Missouri ? or can it be that somebody
has demonetized hats ? Ask your favorite politic ! u
what the peons of Mexico pay for the full fur hats we
we are selling for 75c. Ask him if they don't pay
$2.50. Ask him to inform you whether under free
coinage ol hats it would be possible to get a better
hat for $2.00 , than we are now selling for a one dollar
lar bill. Ask him if you please , to explain just why
and how "The Nebraska" has been selling the very
best fti. derby in America for $3 oo , while Mr.
Dun'.ox ' of New York gets $5.00 and even $6.00 for
the same hat. Is it because people who buy 'em at
"The Nebraska" have bettei sense , or has Dunlox got
"the prive'cges of thu mint ? ' ' If your politician is
honest , he will tell you that the very way to explain
these things is that "The Nebraska" is an exception
to all rules , and "The Nebraska" inside of a hat al
ways has meant , and always will mean , a reduction
of half. Paste that in your hat.
