Nebraska has taken advantage of the
summer months to make record in con-
gress, Senator Paddock won the esteem
of the whole west by his stand on the
Mckinley bill, and now Representative
Connell's eight-hour day labor bill has
passed the house. The eyes of the coun-
try are upon the two worthy and cour-
ageous Nebraskans.

Ii is fact that Kansas has never repu-
dated protection at the polls, and there is
is no warrant for saying it ever Within
poria Republican.
That is the worst Islander on the Re
publicans of Kansas, by Republican,
we ever read or heard. Do you mean to
say they are lying in their demands for
tariff reform interpreted to mean a re-
duction of duties on imports and not an
increase) expressed in the resolutions
adopted by every Republican convention
held in the state this year? If this uni
form demand is not sufficient warrant
for the belief that the Republicans idea
of protection is not repudiated, the unbe-
levers must be very Ephraims, indeed.

The Need for Reciprocity Explained,
3v the EInDOria RenublfcaD

By the Enporia Republican.
In reality Mr.. Blaine's position is this:
The recent pension and other legislation
threatens the country with treasury de-
felt. The increased duties on other
articles will not make up for the $50, 000,
600 lost in making sugar free. The sugar
duties must, therefore, be retained until
we see our way clear 10 a satisfactory
balance of revenue. Reciprocity offers a
good excuse for doing this. IT is, IN fact,
the only way out Therefore we must
stick for recinrocitY.

Selecting Site for the Dam to be Built
in the Beaver.

Selecting Site for the Dam to be Built
in the Beaver.
Colonel William E. Merrill, accompanied by
Captain William Martin, chief engineer of
Davis Island dam. went down to the mouth of
the Beaver river yesterday to select site and
make the preliminary surveys for the pro-
posed dam near that point, for which S25O, 0O0
was appropriated by Congress, shortly before
the river and harbOr bill was presented to the
Conference Committee. Work on the new
structure will be co mmenced at once. 1t will
be modern in construction and Will be of great
service to the river trade. The appropriar
ton for the dam was only secured after many
vain attempts on the part of river and coal
operators. The liver at this point has been A
drawback to the business on account of the
shallow water between Davis Island and the
Beaver. Innumerabe coal fleets have been
detain ed at this place for weeks at a time
which cost the coal shippers barrels of money.
1t is much worse after a rise, when boats are
returning with empty tows. Upon reaching
this stretch. they would invariably ground and
remain down there until another season of high
water arrived. prominent coal operator
stated yesterday that the shippers had lost
enough money through having their boats de.
tained below Davis Island to paw for the pyo-
posed dam three or four times over.
Captain Martin had not returned at a late
hour last night. and nothing could be learned
understood. however tnat it will be built oppo-
site Beaver station, and not on the Beaver
river. as some reports state.
