Ineligible as a candidate before this caucus
by the very terms of this caucus cnll, and 1
wo a8 republicans will not participate In n
republican caucus where such a man Is 1
admitted as n candidate. ,
AVIII .Not Surrender, j
"This condition Is fundamental and we i
will not surroDder It. We have no pel
i-anuiuaicsi wc no not quinine over ruirs
for a caurus nor overtho number of votes
creator than a majority necessary to bind
us. Hut we cannot and will not participate i
In the deliberations of the caucus where a 1
man Is admitted as a candidate who has i
violated his caucus agreement heretofore, !
sought to defeat tho caucus nominee and 1
to elect himself xenntur by n deal with
the fusion members of the legislature.
wherein he was to surrender certain prln- i
clples of the republican party In consldcru- '
tlon for fusion votea. Only men of tried
and acknowledged Ability whose lives of
sacrifice, and devotion to the party and tho
state qualify them for leaders of their
party, should be eligible, to tho high office
of United States senator. United States
senators, In order successfully to represent
and lead their party In Us political battled,
must bo men of unquestioned loyalty to tho
principles of their party. Wo are hero as
republicans and our first duty In to our
party and state rather than gratify any
man's ambition to bo senator. The weal
or woo of tho republican party of thin stato
depends In a large measure, upon tho char
acter of tho men who are selected for
United States senators. No man should
bo selected for that high ofllco who has
heretofore proved recreant to tho princi
ples of his porty by bolting a senatorial
caucus, attempting to defeat a caucus nom
Inco and elect himself senator by ii deal,
with our political enemies. Wo hold no
commission front thn republican! of this
state to select n man for United States
senator who has been guilty of such repre
hensible conduct and has nttempted to be
tray his party Into tho hands of our po
litical enemies and wc ns republicans can
not In self respect cither overlook or for
give, much less reward, such a deliberate
betrayal of our party and Its principles,
llrfnsn n luftlr IpHtr.
"The obligations of candidates and mem
bers in a republican enuens are mutual.
They should bo equally binding upon candi
dates and members; thn candidates nre not,
to bo bound, neither should tho members.
We object to the caucus and refuso to par
ticipate in Its deliberations, which permit
a man who lyis heretofore entered a caucus,
agreeing to abide by ita decision and after
wards violated that pledge.
"Tho future welfaro of tho republican
party of Nebraska demands that we choose
United Statos senators whoso republican
ism Is undoubted. Our duty to our party
demands unfaltering allegiance to the
proposition that only republicans of un
swerving loyalty shall be eligible to nom
ination for United States senator in a re
publican caucus. .,
"The admission of I), E. Thompson as a
candidate before this caucus wo regard an
such a flagrant violation of the terms and
conditions of tho call as to absolve us there
from, and wo refuso to participate In the
deliberations of this caucus, where ha was
treated and considered ns n candidate.
"We appeal to you ns republicans In the
nanto of republicanism and In tho spirit of
loyalty not to persist in a course (hat will
drive us from this caucus. We nre. stnndtng
for a prlnclplo that wo cannot and wilt not
surrender.

"My Crst suspicion that coffee was slowly
killing me came from reading in the news
paper tho experience of a person suffering
from tho poison contained in cottee, ana
how he had been relieved by leaving off
coffoe and taking Postuni Food Coffee.
I had, for a long time, suffered from
palpitation of the heart, Indigestion, bil
iousness, and intense heauaclits ana neu
ralgla.
If I did leave off coffee for one hour be
yond the usual time in the morning, I had
tho most- excruciating headache for the rest
of the day, hut I mnde tho change from
coffee to Postum without tho slightest in
convenience, by first having the Postum
prepared with a little, coffee mixed In It,
then the next day a little lees and tbo next
day a little less, until In less than a month
I was having tho Postum Simon Pure, and
tho cook got to she could make It ao strong
and delicious that I enjoyed my Postum
better than I had ever enjoyed the old fash-
loued coffee .that had been undermining my
health and rendering life a burden.
One by one, and day by day, all the old
svmntoms disappeared. A feeling ot tran
qull strength nnd even (cmper replaced the
former unnatural condition!. Sleep was
complete and restful.
The change was so complete and radical
that 1 could not doubt the cause, which
lay simply In the withdrawal ot the poison
and the addition to my diet of a nourishing,
healthglvinc, liquid food, Postum.
I can give the names ot many persons
who have been benefited by the change
from coffee to Postum, and am never tired
of making converts,
How many times we hear people com
plain of this and that, obscure symptom of
disease, and Wonder what can be the mat
ter with them. In nine cases out of ten
It Is due to nothing in the world but cot
fee policulng. I am sure It all those who
havo alls of one kind or another, serious
or trifling, would try the experiment that
I did, tbern would result an enormous ag
creiate of Improvement In health, and cot-
fee would take Its proper place among the
other poisons,"
It Is well for people to know that cooks
who first undertake to rnake Postum boll
It too little and therefore do not extract
tho flavor and food value. It Is delicious
It prepared according to directions, (and
that Is easy.)

llrnth.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. -The house today
passed tho army appropriation bill and
entered upon the consideration of tho
sundry civil bill, the last but one of the
big money bills. Previous to consideration
of tho appropriation bills tho letter re
flecting upon Mr. Perry S. Heath, winch
Mr. Sulzor Introduced Into the proceedings
yesterday, was expunged from the record.
During the debate uoon the motion to ox
pungo Mr. Sulrer suld ho was nt a loss
to understand the anxiety to protect
tho character of Perry S. Heath, who was
not a member of the house, while his party
associates wero exulting delightedly In the
attack upon his personal character and
reputation. "I stand here," he continued,
'and say that no man In this house can
rhargo mo with any offense whatever, or
with any misconduct. My life Is an open
book, and when the gentleman from Penn
sylvania yestorday attacked me, I felt Justl;
ned in smoking out tho culprit wno was
responsible for the charges. And I did
smoke him out," Mr. Sulrer shouted, with
arm upraised. "I had the courage to stand
here yesterday and say that I was respon
sible for every word In that letter. If Mr.
Heath thinks there Is anything libelous or
scandalous In that letter I will not plead
my constitutional privilege. 1 will pleud
tho truth of the statements. This morning
gentlemau, a former member of this
house, said to me: 'The man who wrote
that letter knew Heath like a book; every
word In It Is true.' I have no objection to
striking the letter from tho record.
Tin a ltd to llnvr Ills Uny.
"Hut 1 serve notlco that I am going to say
everything I wish and I want Perry S.
Heath to answer. If he does not he will be
flt for the penitentiary. I want him to
know that 1 am responsible In damages for
what 1 say. Mr. Heath has no compunc
tions or conscience when ho attacks- me,
but when I attack him he squeals like n pig
under a gate. I got that letter in the rec
ord. That was what I was after. I am
content to have it stricken out."
Mr. Knox's motion to oxpunge the letter
from the permanent record was then
adopted without division.
Mr. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of
the special committee on the St. Louis ex
position, then tried to get up the exposition
bill, but Mr. Cannon, chairman ot tho ap
propriations committee, docllnod to allow
It to come up until tho pending appropria
tion bills were out of the way and accord
ingly the house went Into committee of the
wholo and took up the consideration ot the
army appropriation bill.
Mr. Slaydcn of Texan, a member of the
committee, devoted thirty minutes to dis
cussing the enormous growth In recent
years of bills to remove tho charge of de
sertion against soldiers of tho rebellion,
During tbo present congress, of the 2,300
private bills referred to the military com
mittee, 2,000 were to remove tho charge of
desertion.
Mr. Boutell of Illinois and Mr. Clayton
of'Alabama contended that there were many
meritorious cases among the claimants for
the removal of tho charge of desertion.
Bach cited cases.
Mr. Norton, of Ohio challenged some of
Mr. Slaydcn's statements, citing the case
of a regiment which was captured by the
confederates. Only the pickets of the regi
ment escaped and when tpo wur was over
the pickets were entered as deserters.
Mr. Gilbert of Kentuuky delivered a
general argument ngalnst the ship sub
sidy bill now pending In the senate.
McClPllan Compares Costs,
Mr. McClellan of New York made an In
teresting statement as to the total cost of
our military establishment, which he said
waB $128,700,760. To this must be added,
bo said, 154,052,0!1 for the cost of past
wars, pensions, etc., bringing tho total up
to $282,851,SS4, The cost ot each soldier,
not counting pensions, etc., therefore, would
bo 91.288; Including ponslons, 12,828. The
cost ot the German soldier, including pen
sions and expenses of past warn, he said,
was only $227, and ot tbo French soldiers.
also including pensions and the expense of
tho Franco-Prussian war, was $232. Be
fore tho end of the year, he said, our mili
tary establishment would cost over $300,000,
000. This grand total did not include the
cost of maintaining tho navy.
At the conclusion of tho general debate
an amendment was adopted, on motion ot
Mr. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts, to give
the equivalent of two months' extra pay
to all soldiers of the volunteer and regular
establishment who served beyond the limits
of the United States.
Mr. Fitzgerald ot Massachusetts offered
an amendment, which was agreed to, pro
viding that $35 Bhall be paid to tho nearest
of kin of any enlisted man and $75 to the
nearest of kin of any officer who may be
killed or die In service In the Philippines
upon the delivery of the body to the family
of tho deceased. Tho bill was passed and
consideration of the sundry civil appro
priation bill begun.
Mr. Cannon, In charge of the bill, made
nn exceedingly brief explanation, confining
his remarks practically to answering ques
tions asked ot him. Tho bill carried $S0,-
705,284, being 5t0.880.017 less tbnn the es-
tlmates nnd $5,748,041 less thnn the current
law.
The bill was then laid asldo for the day,
The senate amendments to tho navul ap
propriation bill were disagreed to and n
conference was asked for. Mr. Foss, chair
man of tho naval committee, agreed that
the house should have an opportunity to
vote upon the senate's increase In the
number of ships to be built befor con
curring In the senate amendment. Messrs,
Foss ot Hllinols, Dayton of West Virginia
and Cummlngs of New York were appointed
conferees,
Mr. Ray of New York then formally an
nounced the death of General Albert D.
Shaw of New York, which occurred, sud
denly Sunday morning, and as a mark of
respect the houso at 5:15 adjourned.

Others Tell lllm.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. At the end of
the morning hour the unfinished business
tho ship subsidy bill was laid before the
senate. Mr. Proctor asked that the subsidy
bill be laid aside Informally in order that
the appropriation bill might be continued,
Mr. Jones of Arkansas objected. On mo
tion of Mr. Proctor the senate then, without
division, decided to proceed with the agri
cultural bill.
Some discussion was precipitated over the
section of the bill relating to meat In
spection. Mr. Pettlgrew called attention to
tho paragraph relating to "live horses and
the carcasses and products thereof" and In
quired If the United States was pocking
and shipping abroad horso meat.
Mr. Money, a member of the committee
on agriculture, replied that horse meat was
being shipped abroad to the Scandinavian
countries. Mr. Pettlgrew insisted upon
knowing whether tho horse meat was ex
ported under a brand showing that It was
horse meat and not smoked reindeer, for
Instance,
Mr, Proctor -replied that tho secretary
ot agriculture hnd explained to the commit
tee that It was shipped as horte meat ami
that thoio who received it understand per
fectly what they are getting.
,The last two hours of the session wero
devoted to a discussion of an amendment

foods, drugs or liquors Imported from

taining whether they are so adulterated ns
to be deleterious to health and If found to

LINCOLN WAS BORN RIGHT
Thut In tho Kcymilp for This HevleiT
of II In Career hy Ynnnir Mrs
Itrpnlillcnii.
LINCOLN, Feb. 12. (Special TeleRtnin.)
The thirteenth nnnual Lincoln day banquet
of the Young Men's Republican -lub was In
tho Llndell hotel tonight. It was tho first
republican banquet In this city Inco elec
tion. Covers were laid for 200. C. c. Mar-
lay, retiring pitsldont of the club, presided
and toasts weie responded to ,tb follows:
"Where I First Hoard ot Abraham Lin
coln," Peter Jansen, Jansen; "Lincoln us a
Worklngman," Ous Hycrs, Havolock; 'Our
Friends, the Kncmy," W. L. Anderson, Lin
coln; "Lincoln, tho Practical Politician,''
Hon. W. F. Gurley, Omaha: "Lincoln's Ca
reer and America's Future," Hon. Lafo
Young, Dcs Moines.
The following are extracts from Mr.
Young's response:
Mr. Lincoln had the fellowship nnd hos
pitality ot the pioneer, the most earnest
and sincere stylo of welcome, something
that may have passed away with tho fron
tier which Is no more. He had tho courage
of the dark nnd bloody ground which icave
him birth, tho strength and fortitude of
he great trees of Indiana which his bov
hood, knew, the breadth of character nnd
limit lean, soul typified hy the prairies of
Illinois which kuvp him to the nation,
Born In 1809. his life covered the experi
mental and formative stage of the repub
lic, anointing nnd senllng the end of the
great epoch with his blood.
Statesmanship Is politics governed by
common sense and honesty; generalship is
common sense applied to war. Mr. Lincoln
was u statesman and n genernl,
The world linn wondered where he pot
Ills strength, physical und mentnl, lor thn
great duties that came upon him. The
world has lorgotten thr quiet life of the
first twenty-two years of his existence,
when he was taking nn strength for any
conflict that might come, While dreaming
In the tields be whs becoming n storage
battery for any future emergency
The Qualities that drru- nrllli-Um In lie.
are tho qualities that ImmortHllze him In
death; these Hre the qualities of tenderness
und sympathy, which lire thought- not In lie
psrts of n strong: nature. At the, age of
2ft Lincoln's strong sympathetic nnturo had
een enucaten oy removing rrom tbo home
ot, his childhood to u homo In the wilder?
ness In Indiana, where lie. .mourned the
death of his mother. Another liiirn- mnrpli
nnd removal took him lo IUIiioIh, whore the
nnna or sorrow was agnln laid upon htm
In the death of Ann Itutledge. his llrsl
sweetheart. Then came the struggle for
knowledge, a brief experience In the Black
Hawk war and his entrance upon politics.
The chnstenlng rod of the twenty-live veurs
of his life made tho qualities of Lincoln
that the world today remumbers. poets sing
about nnd concerning which college essays
will bo concerned until time Is no more.
Lincoln wns born right nnd there was no
evil In him. History rioen not relnte that
he hnd hatred or that he ever bore malice.
Yet he wns strong und manly, and It was
no evidence that he did not recognize in
dignities because he did not resent them.
From his youth up he resented n wrong
by the strong lo the weak, nnd when he
saw a black woman whipped In New Or
leans lie mado a vow that sometime he
would lilt the institution of slavery and hit
it hard. Even when he was the associate
of the Olary Grove gang his sense of Jus
tice caused hint tn champion tho weak and
defenseless. He wns a reformer by na
ture, but thoroughly practical always.
After serving one term In congress he de
cided to retire from public llfo and would
never have returned except for tho rnpeul
of the Missouri compromise, which prac
tically gavo .slavery the right of wuy
through all tho territories. These condi
tions brought him back to public Ufa ami
from 1855 to 18U0 ho prnotlcally devoted his
entire time to organizing the republican
party for Its great battle agulnst shivery.
