SI ATE POLITICAL GOSSIP
Efpoblicant and Democrat Organising for
tee Nut Campaign.
WALL SOUNDS LANCASTER COUNTY
W. H. Harrison of (irasll Island Has
lum Conference with Mat Treat
arer Hnrteniri Over Foot
Ball Game.
, (From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. 12. (Special. )-More pol
Itlca has been talked at the state capital
during the last few day than during toe
entire campaign Just ended. Inasmuch as
It was a foregone conclusion that the re
publican state ticket would be elected hands
down, the campaign was merely a akirmlah
before th big battle coming, and both the
republicans and democrats took advantage
of th opportunity to get well organlicd.
Now the discussion of candidates haa be
gun. There have been two men here feeling th
Lancaster pulse In the Interest of John
Wall and hia candidacy for governor, and
Mr. Wall will be here Monday night for th
same purpose. Last night W. H. Harrison
of Grand Island was here and had a long
conference with Stat Treasurer Morten
sen. Harrison Disclaims Interest.
At the conclusion of the talk Mr. Harri
son said:
"We were merely discussing the foot ball
game. It waa the very best that I ever
saw. No, no, I am not paying any atten
tion to politics. I don't want anything
myself and haven't given candidates any
thought at all. Tou see we have just come
out of a hard fight In our own town, where
high school bonds were voted. That wus
more exciting than any state election. Over
BOO women voted and there was nothing
for us old men to do but open the carriage
doors for them. They had their own or
ganizations snd they worked all day and
used their own carriages. It was a North
and South Side fight and It was a pretty
one.
"In our county the state ticket ran be
hind tha locul ticket about 400 votes. 1
don't know whether that happened in other
counties or not. The people were so Inter
ested In local affairs that they overlooked
the head of the ticket altogether."
County Attorney Stanley and Sheriff
Plum of Hamilton county and Frank Har
rison, now of the Beatrice Kxpress. came
In later In the evening. Down In Beatrice
the' politicians expect to boost Dctnpstr
for governor, while Stanley said Hamilton
county would have a candidate at the right
moment. Clyde Barnard was here Friday
i night and of course he Is Interested more
In the makeup of the next legislature, or
rather the house, than he is in any of the
state candidates. If enough of the old .
I members are returned to the house Barn
I ard will be slated for chief clerk.
( In the meantime not all of the talk heard
i has to do with the governor. While no one
i visiting the capital seems to know who
will be the next treasurer, a number have
discussed candidates for other state of
fices. This means that at least some of
th flrst-termera will have to fight for a
renomlnatlon. If the sentiment expressed
by the visitors Is the sentiment of their
various communities at least one or two
of the present state officers will have the
fight of their lives to land a second nomi
nation. InveattKatlna; Card System.
Ben Lease, son of former Attorney Gen
eral Lease, was here last night and called
at the republican state headquarters to in
vestigate tho card system. Mr. Lease ex
pects the republican managers of Denver
to Install the system and he visited the
headquarters especially to look Into the
arrangements and to report to his Denver
associates.
The republican headquarters probably will
remain open all winter and someone Will
be Installed to look after things. Chair
man Warner left Lincoln In fine spirits
over the result of the election and espe
cially as the committee has wiped out the
Sizcr-Burgess debts left from the last cam
paign. Mr. Warner very modestly refuses
to take the credit of that to himself, though
he does take credit for having the per
spicacity of taking the executive committee
Into his confidence on all occasions and for
holding frequent meetings of the committee
and for getting H. C. Lindsay and Craw
ford Kennedy to help raise th money to
pay off the debts. Mr. Kennedy was the
outside man during the campaign and thut
very winning way of his did the business.
The republican that could refuse to "dough
J" "-"
up" when Kennedy went after him. It Is I
said, has never yet been discovered within
the confines of the state. For Ids good
work It may be that Kennedy will be called
to Washington later In the winter. He
knows every man, woman and child In the
state and has been Invaluable around the
Headquarter.

FAVORS MORE PAY FOR ARMY
Paymaster General Dadfa ; the En-
listed Men Are Underpaid.
SERVICE DEMANDS HIGH-CLASS MEN
Complicated Machinery of Modern
Armament Require Thinking,
K.dirsled Soldier tn
Operate It.
(From a 8tafr Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, l C. Nov. 12.-(Spe-rial.)
Not In yesr has there been a mor
Interesting report Issued by s department
of the government for the aid of the chief
of a department than that Issued by Pay
master General F. 8. Dodge. The dry
forms of rcjiorts which usually preeede th
annual reoort nf tlia aroreturv "nf Mr la
I master Dodge, and the recommendations
that are contained in his report rannot
fail but be tho subject of much discussion
In the military arm of the service.
For the flRcal year ending June 30, 1!0fi,
Paymaster General Dodge and his corps
of paymasters disbursed $.t:.43ti.762, which
represents the pay of officers and enlisted
men of the army of the United States,
lmiudlng the battalion In Porto Rico and
the soldiers in the Philippines.
General Dodge flatly states Uiat th
army Is underpaid. He says that It Is a
fallacious argument that tho American sol
dier Is better paid, better fed and better
clothed than any soldiers of other coun
tries, for the reason that before he joined
the colors he was better paid, better clad
and better housed than the class of citi
zens of foreign countries from which the
recruits for their armies are drawn. He
makes the statement that the complicated
machinery of the modern armament re
quires thinking, educated men. and that
the present pay of a soldier offers but
slight inducement for persuus to enter the
mlliti'ty service, especially lu times of
prosperity.
Pay ttchednle Made In 170.
It is a notable fact that the last pay
schedule for the army was passed by con
gress in 1S71 The changes, however, 111
the thirty five years since the last pay
schedule was created has been marvelous,
and during the period named there lias
bern n enormous Increase in the rutes of
gcs pam in all branches of labot In
civil life, with which the salary that is
paid to our soldiers has not kept pace.
Notwithstanding the increased cost of liv
ing, nothwlthstaudlng that the service Is
made more attractive In the way of bet
ter clothing, better quarters, amusement
rooms, etc.. It must be remembered thai
the government puts In the hands of the
prlvato soldier but $13 per month as a re
ault of his month's work. It is Interest
ing to learn from General IHidge's report
that the pay of a cavalryman and
Rh
artlllerymaii was J8.33 per month and In-
lantrynten receiving M.07 during the revo
lutionary war. During the war of 1M2 ail
three arms of the military establishment
received $8 per month. This, of course,
has reference to the enlisted men. In the
.... a.cm nif i-wvuirymeii receivea I3
While the artillerymen and Infantrymen
reoeived $11. In the civil war all three
arma received $13. General Dodge. In or
der to show the discrepancy In the thirty
raara between 1I7E and l:6. has made a
close calculation ns to the per capita cost
of officers and enlisted men. In 1875 the
per capita cost of officers was $3,271.82; in
l!lc6. $3,345.70. Per capita cost of enlisted
men In 1S75, $7(58.01: in 1J05. $K37.48. He de
duces from this that the enlisted man Is
not properly paid, and, In order to secure
good material for the armv, the time has
come when ..."i...,,.i .. i
- ' t'.'j ... ... .....v. j , i try.
lutely necessary
ProbaCly the most slgniflcsnt feature of
General Dodge's report Is the paragraph
relutlng to the deposits of the soldiers.
The scheme of permitting a soldier to de-
posit a certain proportion of his monev In
the Cnlted States, for
which he could draw a certain rate of
, Interest, began In 1S73. when there were
t $209,860.38 deposited. These deposits remain
' to the, ererlit of tho anlHIuii n.l ., VA ..nu
-
aoie upon nis retirement rrom the service,
together with the Interest. In other words,
It is a government savings bunk, and Is
exceedingly popular with the enlisted men.
curing wie tweniy-eignt years that this
scheme has been In ovist ihr.. I,,.-
been deposited $26.4,326 .67. and there I
today to , the credit of the depositors in
the I'nited States treasury $2,5M.746.a.
Mor Par for Mnrksnieu.
Still another feature of the paymaster
general's report which cannot fail to at
tract favorublc consideration Is the renewal
of his recommendation made in his Inst
annual report that expert riflemen be al-
, ,owed per ,, ex(ru .llttrpisnot)lpr.
$2 per month and marksmen $1 per month.
i General Dodge Is of the -opinion that th
incentive to good marksmanship among the
enlisted men should be increased by an
Increase lu the reward for good shouting.
The general contends that the man is
most ' efficient who relies upon his arm,
Whether it be gun or saber, and if he Is
satisfied that In a battle the chu'necs are
thut his being put out of action are les-
sened by his knowledge of his arm, then
the government is greatly benefited by
j having such a man. Fear plays a very
1 en i inin ill lilt me oi a soldier, until
by association with war's stern realities
he loses the personal sense of fear and
becomes a perfect fighting machine, for
he and his rifle or his saber become un.
Propose Tax ou Wood Alrabol.
Representative Brownlow of Tennessee
hss various grades of adulterated cider
that Is being sold to old soldiers at the
Soldiers' Home at Johnson Ulty, and pre
sumably at all the other homes.
He says It Is manufactured around Louis
ville. Ky.. and bus about a per cent of
wood alcohol addod to It, and Is then sold
to the old soldiers. It has proven fatal
in many cases, and Mr. Brownlow pro
poses to try to secure the passage of an
act in congress to prevent the sale of .th
stuff.
"It Is a crime to sell this concoction to
old soldiers, and I am going lo see thut
no stone Is left unturned to stop the
adulteratlun of the stuff. There have been
several caBes where the drinking of two
or three glasses of the bogus cider has
proven fatal. The old soldiers must be
protected from il, and congress will, 1
think, when its attention ia properly called
to the matter, take (he same view of the
subject as I do."
It Is understood the report of Commis
sioner Yerkes will recommend action along
that lln by congress. The commissioner
finds that a way has been devised to re
fin wood alcohol, and make it so closely
resembling grain alcohol, that none but an
expert can tell the difference. This re
fined product is being used extensively in
adulterating whiskies and It is nut taxable,
reducing the revenue of Ihe internal rev
enue bureau. Just that much. The commis
sioner will recommend that wood alcohol I
be taxed Ilk other alcohols, and will say
that such taxation will serve a two-fold
purpose; that It will prevent ihe use of
it as an adulterant, and thus save the
people from the effect of the drink, and
Unit it will prevent the substitution of a
non taxed alcohol for a taxud alcohol
thereby holding the interior revenue up t
where It ought to be. He argues that
very time a gallon of wood alcohol a n
adulterant la used, th people are d frauded

One View of Rate Heanlatlon.
Tlio subject of railroad rate legislation. If
anything, is being more generally talked
about today than at any time since the
discussion began, and It Is undoubtedly
true that the discussion will continue until
congress enacts some form of rate legis
lation. Recently, Representative Prince of Illi
nois, was discuHsiug railroad rate legis
lation with some friends here In Wash
ington. He is an ardent rate regulatlon
ist, and never neglects an opportunity to
state how strongly his district stood with
I the president for rate regulation. A friend
w)0 had been listening to Mr. Prince for
quite a time, ' butted in
with the follow-
lug observation:
I have heard that side ot the question
and also took the other side. 1 am a sort
of a man up a tree looking on as an 1m
..urriut .iu..ria tilth no Interest at stake
except mat wnicn tne average ciiiaeu n.
It seems to me that there has been a whole
lot of unnecessary excitement nbout it.
in the first place, whether tnere Is legis
lation or whether there Is no legislation,
it will make no difference to the great
masa of the people. Things will cost tne
consumer Just as much as they do now,
and if there Is anyone to benefit hy rate
legislation, it will be the manufacturer
and the Jobber. You buy your Stetson hat
.here, or In Baltimore, or In New York, or
In Chicago, or even In San Francisco, or
Honolulu, and the price Is Identlcilly th
same. You buy the same sort of a suit
of clothes, or the same sort of under
wear, or the same sort of shirts, or the
i " brand of collars wherever you go,
I nd freight charges, or no freight charge.
the price you pay is just the same. You
buy vour clothes wherever you will, and
the same kind cost the snme money.

BERLIN. Nov. K. (Special Cable
gram to The Bee.) In order to support the
leading electrical firms In the settlement
or their difficulties with their employes
the subject under discussion are being
printed In reports prepared by both sides
The side of the employers, when Is Just
from the hands of the printer, makes the ;
claim thut a system has been elaborated I
by the members of the trades unions for j
successively extorting a rise of wages for
different categories of workmen by th
menace of a general strike. The situation, j
they claim, has thus been rendered Intoler-
j able, and In fact when the screwmakers j
arid puckers refuse to accept the mas- i
ters' terms it was Impossible tn carry on j
the other departments of the works. The j
men employed in the screwmaklng de- j
partmenl naa an average wage or ti.j
pfennigs an hour; the women In the same
department an average wage of 35.1. They
demanded a general rise of 13 er cent.
The employers, after conferring with the
workmen's committee, offered a general
rise of from 6 to B per cent for piece work,
so arranged as to favor the cheaper kinds
of work Although the leaders of the men
recommended th acceptance of this offer
It was rejected, and on the following day
the strike began.
