MerriCk County Independents.

CENTRAL CITY, Neb., July 26.--To the Edi-
tor of Tue Bee: The independent convention
OF Merlick county metat the court house to-
day, Twelve delegates were elected to the
state convention and three to the senatorial
convention. a county central committee was
appointed and u new convention will be called
later to nominate n county ticket. About
hfty delegates were present, representing
eight of the twelve townships in the county.
The deliberations of the convention were
presided over by a man who is said to be an
itinerant phrcnologist. He is better known
here as third party prohibition orator, and
VINO, by the way, was not delegate to the
convention, In n very eloquent ca and
pathetic appeal, he adjured the new party
people TO stand together and try and save the
country In speaking of the-conduct of the
government and of political affairs generally,
he said; Our flag is disgraced and waves
over nation of white slaves.n man who
is capable Of giving expression TO such a
sentiment is an enemy of his country, and il
Is astonishing that an intelligent gathering of
American farmers would listen to such trea-
sonable rot without protest
delegate who had taken part in repub-
hcan primary was voted out the prevailing
sentiment seeming TO be that any one who
had anything to do with the old parties had
no business in the alliance, or the new party
either, which they appeared to regard as the
same thing, Mr.. Jay Burrows TO the contrary
Notwithstanding.
The prohibition party came in for no part
OF their nnathemas, and one delegate declared
that today there we're really only two parties
in this country, viz, the peoples party and
the prohibition party.

Laid down within the imperial city. The
young emperor is very much interested

He was greatly struck with the toy

We're adverse to the miniature line being

and sunk the Chinese feet
At first the high authorities would not
allow any foreigners to have hand in

The result was that when they started
the little engine they could not stop it,

What is Gentleman?

The present London season has been
very gay one up to now. The metropo

nations, prominent among them in mum
bers and everything else, of course, be-
ing the Americans, says "A Sunday letter
from Max O'Rell. The American dude
has been plentiful this season, having
come over in unusual numbers, But
fancy he is not great favorite. OF all
the different varieties of the species he
is really the least interesting. The
French gommeuX is a frivilOus creature,
dressed in the extreme Of fashion, but he
is generally witty and amusing. The
English variety is also Il tailor made
man, but he is u man and, though he
may not have anything remarkable to
say when he leaves off sucking his cane,
he usual Y says it ina manly voice at any
rate. suppose it is the fact Of his coming
from n country where the men are 50
manly V and such workers that makes the
American dude seem such an unsexed
creature. This tailor block has nothing
original in his folly He is content to
copy the British ''chappie' and to fix his
ambition on the requirements. ofan Eng

Saline County Politics.

CRErT, Neb,, July sT.--ISpccial to The
BEE, The political campaign in this county
has now fairly opened. The repu pllcau
county convention nominated ticket,
the candidates all being farmers. The ali-
ance on Saturday followed suit and nomi-
mated whole ticket of farmers, excepting,
or course, county attorney. Everyone is
waiting to see what the democrats will do.
The impression is that they will endorse the
alliance ticket, which will make the election
OF that ticket foregoing conclusion. The al
liance movement has been gaining strength
In this county of late TO such an extent that
posted republicans admit the alliance TO b
the controlling power in the county this fall.
What effect this will have on the repu blican
state ticket is hard to tell at present The
nomination of George Hastings for attorney
general has given the greatest satisfaction to
the whole people Of Saline county, irrespec-
tive of party, and he will carry the comfy by
an immense majority. The balance of the
state ticket, so far has not been ableto create
great deal of enthusiasm among the
republican voters, and it Is viewed very in
differently by the rank and file of the party.
The political situation ia very much mixed
and no one can tell the result.

CLEAR SPRINGS, Neb., July 27.-To the
Editor Of THE BEE: write to express my
satisfaction with the views put forth in THE
WEEKLY BEE Of July 16 by n. II. Blaclmer
Of Peoria, Neb., under the head of "SOme
Plain Questions" If Peoria were near me
should like TO visit Mr.. Blackmcr and talk
with him. He seems to be sensible, level
headed man. His official relation to the al
lance ought to give weight to his views
among members of that organization, though,
doubtless, Mr. b. would claim for his opinions
no greater weight than there is in the reasons
he gives for them. Although myself farmer
anddepcndent on that calling for my living,
am not member of the alliance L approx @
its declared objects and many of its methods,
but have never applied for membership be-
cause of age and physical nfirmties, which
would render 1t difficult for me to attend the
meetings have observed with great regret
that the meetings and newspaper organs of
the alliance are being used for the promulga-
ton of some financial schemes which would
work far more injury to the farmin q interests
than good, could they be carried into practice.
Mr. Blaoklner happily exposes one of these
in the letter to which have referred. ] hope
he will continue to write.
Daniel Webster, who had probably studied
these questions of finance as profoundly as
any statesman whom our country has ever
pTOuuCcu, OuCc Sdlu Utlut ''tne most successful
expedient ever devised to cheat the laboring
classes Of mankind Is irrcdeemable paper
money! The remark is as true today as
when he uttered it. Yet we have among us
proessed currency reformers who advocate
the idea of cutting loose from the precious
metals as Il standard of values and In effect
adopting fiat money! in order to boom prices
and pay debts easily. Their schemes if
adopted, would result in incalculable distress
to the farmers and all laboring men and
would leave them worse in debt than thew
are now.
Let me congratulate the farmers and the
country generally on the happy outcome of
silver legislation in congress. The law finally
enacted seems to me preferable to either the
house or the senate bill, as originally passed
The silver product of the country viii serve

since the act Of February 2S 1873, was passed
Only S6O,O0OO00 OF this amount are in actual
circulation, the remainder being held by the
treasury. From 1872 TO 1873 inclusive, a
period OF cighty-two years, Only Il little over

Monkey Parrot Time,


EXETER, Neb., July 25.-To the Editor Of
TIE BEE: The prohibition branch of the
Salvation army held mass meeting on our
streets this evening with Mrs. Bailey, an cl.
derry female Of the granger" type, in the
chair, or rather, in Stammers' dray. j. r.
Kettewcl was chorister and Doc Smith
chief solicitor of campaign funds. Mrs.
Bailey has become very popular here during
her short stay, owing to the sympathy she eX-
presses for the people of "Nebraskey" in
their wrcstle with the horrible demon rum !, ;
and the touching manner in whicn she re-
lates "bcdbugn stories and sweet anec-
dotcs, comparing 'Nebraskey'' with "gi-
gHntic sop bucket" Last evenings lecture
bristled with startling statistics which L
have no doubt would have staggered even
Roscwater or Webster. "Nebraskeyn is
credited, or rather charged, with some 3,1O0
saloons In this statement only is Mrs. Bal
ley in error. There should be three more,
for we do not think this prohibition town
was counted when the collector for this dis
trct summed up the grand total for "Nebrls-

ment or at least the signs point That way.
OF course they were showed under at the

democratic vote they will climb on top with
an immense majority in November.
Prohibition has proven very successful here
since May l. Only thirty kegs of beer were
shipped into Exeter.the past week, and the
average per month since May l has only been
l25 kegs and cases of beer and two barrels of
whisky. One case Qaw suit has been opened,
''State of Nebraska VS. Dan Kinney" and the
village board has engaged able counsel from
Lincoln to be paid from the village treasury,
to assist our county attorney in the prosecu-
tion.
A paper was presented to the council at the
last meeting signed by thirty business
if they used the funds of the village
in prosecuting or defending suits to which
the village of Exeter was not a party they
would at the expiration of their terms be
sued individually for the amount. This, how
