Improving the Telephone service.

The recent sleet storms incommoded
the Telephone company much less than
is usually the case, and less than thirty
wires were reported as being in trouble.
The trunk line behaved admirably under
the heavy load of ice that coated the
wires, and no break was reported The
sudden thaw was the means of saving
thousands of dollars to the company, re-
ieving, as it did, the severe strain upon
the wires, caused by the amount of sleet
and ice with which they were coated.
The company is improving the service as
fast as possible and in every conceivable
manner. Yesterday they had a large
gang of men at work on State street re-
moving the iron wire which has been in
use between this city and North Haven
and substituting copper wire in its stead.
Copper wires are being substituted for
the iron ones as fast as possible all over

Ten Thousand Families In Need of

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 4.-The commission
appointed by Governor Thayer to devise
means for relieving the suffering due to
the shortage of crops in Nebraska has sub
mitted report showing an almost total
failure of crops in twelve counties and
that ten thousand families are in need of
assistance. The governor discourages APP
peals to outside states lest it injure the
credit of the state, but promises relief
when the legislature meets.
In Frontier county there are eight thou
sand people and large part of them are
becoming desperate. Wheat only yielded
one or at most two bushels to the acre.
There are no vegetables All the salable
stock has been disposed of and that re-
manning is being killed. The animals are
too small and poor to furnish much food.
Being . new country the people are mostly
in debt. The committee says that the des-
titution is greater than that caused by the

unscrupuIous Stanley.

LONDON, May 5.-Following
6tanley's book, "In Darkest AZ
rica," Mr.. Sephson's book will ap-
pear. This work will describe
nine months life with Emin in the
absence of Stanley, besides giving
another view Of the expedition.
Jepson writes In a tone much
friendier to Stanley than Bonny's
narrative, probably because he
knows a good deal more than
Bonny did.
The latter's book. covering the
period Of the terrible months Of
starvation and fighting In tho
camp at Aruwhimi, blames Stan
ley for the disastrous loss Of life
which occurred during this part of
the expedition, and holds up the
great explorer as an INSCRIPTIONS
adventurer, reckless Of the lives Of
his colleagues, and as braggart
who suppresses truth for the sake
Of clarifying himself.

STEWARDS QUESTION.

Ever since Window became
s., ,retary Of the Treasury he has
b zen masquerading as friend OF
silver, while in reality he is the
tool Of the New York gold bugs.
Senator Stewart tore off his dis
guise when he asked the following
question:
If Secretary Window is friendly
to silver, why Is he advocating
further legislation leading to the
purchase OF more silver, while he
refuses to purchase what the law
now authorizes?
Instead Of answering the ques-
ton, the vulnerable Secretary got
mad-a clean proof that he was
squirming under Stewards ex-
posture.
The men of the West have been
betrayed bodily by Harrison and
Window on the silver question. It
is clearly their own fault if they
are ever betrayed again by Re-
publican President.
The silver-producing States
have more votes on their hands
than New York State if they only
have the nerve to send men to the
next National Convention who
viii unite on what they want and
fight to the finish for it.
Meanwhile, decisive action must
be taken before Congress ad-
journs, or we will get no silver
legislation. The gold men are
still very active in their fight for
delay, and their fair prognostica-
tons regarding silver are only
blinds to keep the people quiet
Until the session OF congress eX-
pires and the single standard men
have another breathing spell.
The APPEAL hopes to see the
press of the State unite on calling
for action on the part Of the Ne
vada Silver Association.
With the proper management,
the whole United States can be
made to speak on this question In
q way that will leave no uncert-
ainty in the minds Of Congress as
to the wishes of a majority Of the
voters of the country.
