THE - OMAHA "DAILY BEE? -WEDNESDAY, FEITRr A17 Y "25. 1THW. r-f the state of Nebrsska will cfm to be I coveted by co many ambitious politicians I and would-be office holders. The office In question la the clerkship of the supreme court. Inatesd of paying an annual Income I of or t30.00 It, will drop to $2,500. I The bill provides that the clerk of the supreme court alvall return to the state all fees arlalng front his office over and be-I yond tl.oon, which la to be retained by I that official. This, with the $1,600 which he annually receives aa atate librarian, will make hi total, salary 12,600, the same the invtrnor. Voder the nreaent law the clerk of the aupreme court may re. tain all fcea artelng from his office and there la no lw on the statute books which requlrs him to keep a record for the stats ahowlng the amount of those fees. It Is generally and commonly admitted that this office yields all the wsy from $20,000 to $30,000 annually In feea. A atate officer was today asked what. In hla Judgment, was tliei amount of the aonual Income from this office,. and replied that he thought JW.OOO would not be too high a figure to nam. - . i -Polities' In .More. The present Incumbent of the office, Lee Herdnfan of Omaha, Is a democrat. He wss appointed by the democratic 'anpreine; court for a term of four rears and his term. tnererore, expires within about ten montos, when Jfidge Sulllvad'a term expires. If a democrat Is elected again the court' would still remain democratic, In which case an other democratic, clerk would naturally b.a appointed1! but If, aa the probabilities are:, Judge Sullivan la succeeded by a repub- lien the majority of the court would be ; republican and It la a safe venture to say I that the clerk would be of the same party.

Mr. Tillman then resumed his remarks begun yesterday In" reference o the In dlanola. Miss., postofflee case. The president and postmaster general, ha said, transcended their authority and re sorted to methods which were both tyran nical and unconstitutional. He wanted to know It In figuring up the purpose of their new found seal, this cold blooded, calcu lattve, advisedly taken action was cot prompted by a low motive. He referred td the cost In lives and money on account ot the race problem and. addressing the republican side, called on them to meet htm "upon tho same plane of patriotism of race pride and of civil! satlon and not to fall into the pitiful cess pool of partisan politics." The people ot the north bad no more use for the negro at close quarters than he had. .He cited Instances of assaults by negroes on white women and declared that the more the northern people found out about the negro the less use they had for him. . The ballot ot the negro was a menace to good government , and. - the people of the north were coming to realize that the en franchlsement bordered on a .crime. Reverting to the president's utterance that he waa unwilling o shut the door ot hope and opportunity'. In the ease of a worthy and competent' colored man, ; Mr. Tillman said at' first blush there Is not' a man alive who would not agree with that sentiment, but, he Inquired, If It ever1 oc curred to anyone that tn opening the door of hope It might 'not be shut in the face of the white man. The door of hope In South Carolina at one time had been closed by bayonets to the white, for eight years, while rapine, , murder and mlagov ernment ran riot, --with 'an abomination In the sight of map presiding over the state. . He declared that he did not hate the negro and that: art negroes were not bad; only a small percentage were bad, and these, he said were leading the rest and being patted on the back by politicians. Oppose Rare Kquallty ' He regarded It as bis duty to bis state to stand forever opposed to any Ideaof political or social equality on tne part ot the negro with the whites.- The purpose ot those who endorse the president's door of hope policy," he vehe mently declared. Is that In time Soutn Carolina should become a state ot mulat toes," and In this event he -predicted that there would be more bloodshed than' was ever shed before. "I beg you, for God's sake,".. he said, faolng ths republican side, "not 4fi produce an acute stage ot hatred which' will bring the two races together with the resolve ot the whites to die Id order to retsln their supremacy." Mr. Tillman poked fun at Mr. Hanna and - The result of yean of , , experiment . v. GORHAM . Silver Polish Dpei i not cile or filTup interlaces CJean well poliihev read the title of the Mil he recently Intro duced to pension ex-slaves. "Oh, my God!" said he. "did Mr. Hanna mean that, or, Is It a political dodge?'' The effect of the bill was. he declared, to give opportunity to Unscrupulous negroes to bamboozle and deceive their people by se curing subscriptions Ostensibly to further the Interests of the bill. He concluded by saying that "in propor tion as you arouse false hopes in the minds of these people, you are only sowing the wind which will flame tip Into a whirlwind Ister on." Mr. Tillman spoke for three hours. He wss followed by Mr. Carmack (Tenn ), who said the action of the president In the In dlanola case wss not In accord with reason, Justice or the constitution. At the conclusion of Mr. Carmack's speech, on motion of Mr. Cullom (111.). It was agreed that hereafter Unless ordered the senate shall meet at 11. The senate then, at 6:5.'.. went Into ex ecutive session and at 6 adjourned. HOUSE GIVES ISLANDS CASH Decides to Accept Senate Bill Bather .Than Delay Settlement of -Csrreaey 4aeitlon. WASHINGTON.

Mr. Hill (Conn.), who supported the. proposition for American currency In the original debate, snid he would continue to stand by his former position If It were not co late In the session. As It was. It was 'temporary" purgatory for the Philippines or eternal damnation for the United States, and he should support the senate bill. Mr. McCall (Mass.) took the position that the maintenance of tho gold standard should rest upon the shoulders of the United States, not upon those of a weak government In the Philippines,, aa proposed by the senate. The two 'amendments recommended by the house committee were agreed to and the vote wss then taken upon the adoption of .tho senate substitute, as amended. It was" agreed to, 1S6 to 100.

Quite by accident the case of Mr. Newton K. Young of Tenhlngton, N. J., was se lected. He had been completely cure-d of case of hemorrhoids, or pile, by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. Tho politician wss especially skeptical regarding this case.. as It waa alleged Mr. Young was a man over eighty years of age and had been cured of piles after fifty years of awful suffering and when all other remedies had failed. It was agreed that the polltlelnn should write to Mr. Geo. W. Scarborough. Fh. O., a prominent resident" of Penning ton, and that the result ot the controversy should rest upon bis reply. The follow ing; wss Mr. Scarborough's answer: - " "Dear Sir Mr. Newton K.
