Suuac.

Nebraska ought in some way to
utilize the immense wild crop OF
American sumac that yearly goes to
waste. IL costs nothing but to gath
er and cure. There is a marker for
it, and at remunerative figures. The
Shoe and Leather Reporter, New
York, says: "As to the use of and
demand for the article, we can only
say that it has been a staple product
for the past ten years, the prices
varying with the amount of produc-
tion, and the quotations for Sicily
sumac, with which it is always a
competitor to some extent, although
1t brings usually only about three
fourths the price of the latter.
Experience has shown the Ameri-
can sumac equal in its properties to
the Sicily sumac, when properly
handled. Only the leaves are used.
and they must be cured in the shade
and kept from heating during the
process. Thousands of tons of this
natural product go to waste annu-
ally in Nebraska, which might be
made to yield a revenue of many
thousands of dollars. - Nebraska

Many foxes grow gray, but few

Presumption first blinds a man

Mrs. Sen a tor Jones Diamond.


Senator Jones, o: Nevada, having
replenished his depleted exchequer
by fortunate rise in Sierra Nevada
stock, comes back with his beauti-
full young wife and maiden sister to
occupy his half of the Butler Block,
on Capitol Hill. He left here five
months ago for his home at Gold
Hill, "dead broke" in vulgar par
lance, or "busted," as the miners
term it. Foreseeing the rise in
mining stocks, he invested all he
could raise or borrow IN Sierra Ne
vada, and reaped a rich return.
Still he had not enough to fill the
measure of his opportunity. His
wife had a splendid diamond neck
lace, for which he had paid in opu-
lent days the sum of $4,000. and
which she, being a retiring little
body, not given to display, had new
er worn but once.
"My DEAR" said he to her one day.
"If you will let me invest your dia-
monds in Sierra Nevada you shall
have the proceeds for pin-money."
GAS you please" said the dutifnl
little woman. "You know never
wear them
Senator Jones is not the man to
60 hawking his wife's jewels about
the streets, so he offered them to the
first Jew he met, and received $l2-
600 for them, which he invested on
margin in her name, and to-day she
is worth $4,000 in registered
bonds. He paid his debts, cancelled
the mortgage OH his 100000 worth
of furniture, which Butler held as
collateral for three years. rent, and
in less than half year returns with
several millions to spare. And that
is the way they do things "out

The Old Rattle.

We trust that northern men are
not overlooking the testimony that
is being brought before the Teller
committee i'm session at New Or
leans. 1t is an old story the wit
nesses tell, but il deserves attention
all the more because it is old. 1t
shows that the habit Of outrage, in
timidation and murder has become
an inveterate one. 1t reveals in
bald form the southern democratic
methods. Think for a moment of
eighty men being killed in a single
parish on account of their political
opinions. There is a foul wrong
being done TO voters in the south,
and there is a foui wrong being done
to voters i'm the north.
Our whole system is built up on
the idea of equality. This funds-
mental principle has been violated
in the south. The country can not,
will rot stand it. If this political
persecution does not cease, what the
southern democrats call the bloody
shirt will be again raised. There
can be no compromise. The con-
science, the sense of justice, of the
nation will be stirred. Much as the
revival of the old issues may be de-
precated, much as the nation breads
to see campaign fought on these
questions, it will never rest until
ample and complete protection is
assured to every citizen within its
borders.

sumption and silver.


CHICAGO, January 13.-The fol-
lowing is received here: Washing
ton, ID. c., January s. Thomas l..
Nichol, Esq, secretary honest money
league, Chicago, Ills, Dear Sir: l
have TO acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 4th inst, enclos-
ing a copy of the kindly resolutions
adopted at the meeting of the honest
money league, on the 4th instant,
for which return my grateful thanks.
Resumption, so long struggled for,
and so eminently beneficial to all
interests and all classes, is now Sc
cure. There are but two points
incident TO resumption about which
| notice complaint: First, the nom
payment of interest OH the public
debt in gold coin at cities other than
New York second, criticism of the
distribution of the silver dollar by
this department. To maintain spe-
Gle payments the coin must be kept
in some central convenient deposi-
tory, always accessible. The law
fixes New York as this place. 1t is
not reasonable while we promptly
redeem our notes and pay the in
terest on the public debt in New
York that complaint should be
MADE because the coin is not scat
tered by being transported at the
will of creditors at considerable
cost, to other parts of the United
States, we must make no distinction
between the payment of interest
and the redemption of notes, but
both should be paid at the same
place and in the same way, or we
again make the discrimination so
much complained of between the
noteholder and the bondholder. |
hope, after some preparation and
lapse of time, it may be convenient
to exchange coin for notes and save
interest TO the repositories i'm the
United States and | will seek to
bring about that result, not as a
matter of legal duty but for the con-
venience of citizens.
AS TO the other matter, | have a
clear conviction that the forced
payment of the silver dollar to pub
lie creditors would tend TO depre-
ciate it and cause it at once to be
sold in the market at less than par.
No friend of the silver dollar should
desire it to be forced into circula-
tion under such circumstances This
would open a gap between the silver
dollar and United States notes that
would tend to bring it into dis
credit among our people, while it is
plainly the policy of the law that it
should be maintained at par with
United States notes. The depart
ment is now Issuing the silver dol
lars, transporting them free of
charge whenever needed to all who
wish them in exchange for United
States notes or in payment for SER
vices, and it is hoped that the whole
coinage may thus be put i'm circula-
tion. While it is the duty of the
government to coin different kinds
of money, as public policy dictates,
it should be within the power of the
citizen at his option to demand Ell
ther form Of lawful money. 1t is
hoped that the friends Of resump-
tion will be satisfied with the be-
neficent results already accomplish
ed, and will give this department
reasonable forbearance in the prac-
tical execution of its plans. If so,
those who have hitherto disagreed
with us about resumption will join
with us in applauding the policy
now being maintained.
Very respectfully yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.
