GROWING BASKET WILLow.-The
basket willow is in many sections a very
profitable side crop, requiring little labor
and often occupying land that would
otherwise be of little value. The IN
peeled willow sells readily at $50 to s25
per ton, while from three to six tons are
grown per acre. The peeled willow is
worth at the factories 500 per ton. A
machine has lately been invented for
for peeling willow by horse or steam
power, and this great disparity in price
will not long exist. This machine will
give a great impetus to the manufacture
OF willow ware. About $4,000. 900
of willow has been imported into this
country per year. AS we can grow it
probably this importation should cease.

Nebraska Democratic Convention,

LINCOLN, Neb., May 22.-The DEM
ocratic state convention was called to
order at s o'clock. A temporary Or
ganization was effected by electing b.
A. Human, Of Lincoln county, chair
man. The following platform was
adopted: We the delegates Of the
democratic party of Nebraska in con-
vention assembled submit the follow
ing platform:
Of reform measures-We first de-
mand rigorous frugality in every de-
partment from every officer Of the
government, and we heartily concur
in the sentiment that no reform of
administration is possible so long as
the government is directed by a party
under the dominion OF false doctrines.
animated by enormous %pecuniary in
t~erests, and interested III the perpetu-
alton of existing abuses.
That the first ~effectual step in the
reform OF our government must be Il
fundamental change in the policy of
its administration.
That in view of the unequal and
discriminating operation of the exist
ing tariff and the unjust and Excess
siye burdens 1t imposes Oh the people
we are i'll favor Of a revision which
shall limit 1t to the production
OF the necessary revenues OF
a government economically admins
tered, and the impost should be 50
adjusted us to prevent as far as pos
sible unequal burdens upon labor,
and to bear most heavily upon
articles of luxury and lightly upen
articles Of necessity. We believe
that such Il revision OF the tariff laws,
aui simplitied in their operation and
administration, will decrease the
growth of monopolies, prevent the
oppression and spoliation of labor,
and the unequal distribution of
wealth, and abolish special and class
legislation.
Resoired, that as our fathers under
the lead Of Thomas Jefferson rescued
II republic from the control OF
federalism and the alien and seditiOn
laws Of the elder Adams, SO will the
democratic party of 1884 burl the re-
publican party from power and re-
elect Samuel j. Tilden and Thomas
Hendricks president and vice-presi-
dent of the United States.
Balloting for delegates ut large re-
suited in the election of James L.

The delegates are all for Tilden. The
