Blaine Quite n Sick Man.

New YORK, May 15.-The World
says: 1t is q matter OF fact that Secre-
tary Blaine is in no condition to take
part in business consultations. He re-
ceives no visitors and the state de-
partment officials have instructions to
send no mail. The secretary has not
been out of his bedroom since the
musical festival last week, and it
is doubtful if he has been out
of his bed. The ~secretary's health
has been bad for some time and he is
now q very sick man. Indeed he has
been in no condition to work for sew
eral months past. Those who have
kept close watch of him in Washing
ton have remarked that since the be-
ginning of the year he has been absent
from the department more days than
he attended. and when he did 90 to
the department his stay was short.
He has done most OF his work during
the past four or five months in the
privacy OF his own house. and further
more he has done it either lying in
bed or reclining on an easy chair
propped UP all around with Gus HONS.

Gathering for the Great Conference.

CINCINNATI, o., May 1S.-Ihis week
will bring to this city n political gath
ering of unique form. in whose action
there is a wide interest. 1t is not a
convention in the usual sense OF the
term, for it has no party call as a ba-
sis. 1t is perhaps best described rs a
national union conference. Originally
1t was called. not by the farmers ALI
ance convention ut Ocala, Fla. last
year, but by members of the conven-
ton, and the time set for February %.
in this city.
That call was addressed to all who
have stood up for Independent politi-
cal action On the question of finance,
transportation, labor and land, and
asked for delegates to a national con-
ference from the following ~organiza-
tions: The independent party. by its
representatives; the peoples party, by
its representatives; the late federal and
confederate soldiers, by its represent
atives; farmers alliance of the north
and south; Farmers Mutual Benefit as
ISOLATION; the knights of Labor; the
cOlored farmers alliance and all other
industrial organizations supporting the
principles of the st. Louis agreement of
Dec. 1889. The ratio OF representation
was n delegate from each congress
sional district by state organization
III two at large from the state, not
less than one to each county %organiza-
tion. In addition to this the editor of
each newspaper supporting candidates
nominated on the St. Louis agreement
was invited to become a delegate. This
call was signed by about seventy per-
sons from seventeen states.
1t met with objection from various
sources, partly because its purpose vas
announced to be for Il national union
party based on the fundamental ideas
of finance, transportation. labor and
land. This opposition had the effect
OF necessitating 4 delay and the date
OF the conference was changed to May
10. The state executive committee of
the peoples party of Indiana, COM
posed OF some of the original signer5
of the call, enlarged the representa-
ton so as to include the American fed
Grafton of labor trades unions and
trades assemblies, the federation of
railway employees and the nationalist
by their representatives.
The citizens alliance OF Kansas, at Il
convention at Topeka. February 7, re-
issued the call, stating the object to be
to adopt q platform and make such ar
engagements for the conflict of 1892 as
the conference may deem fitting.
From this outline of its call it is
plain that difficulty will arise in set
ting questions if any arise upon
credentials, and also that the real pur-
pose of the conference is not clearly
defined. Already two views are being
urged in various quarters upon the
question of forming 4 third party, and
it has gone so far in some places as to
Il organizations opposed to the
third party to refuse to send delegates,
while others are electing delegates for
the avowed purpose of defeating the
formation of Il third party.
The conference promises to be one
not without q difficult task before it,
but likely to call for the best wisdom
OF its DELEGATES. ,

Secretary Blaine Much improved.

NEW YORK. May 1S.-Secretary
Blaine is improving. The govt is less
troublesome and his general condition
is such as to give rise to hopes of his
leaving the city this week. He left
his bed yesterday afternoon and re-
cIined on the lounge reading the pa
pers. DR.. Dennis, the attending ply
slclan' did not visit him during the
DAY. Mrs. Damrosch looked very
cheerful and satisfied as she spoke OF
Mr.. Blaine's condition.
At DR.. Dennis house early lasteven-
lng' 1t was stated that the doctor had
gone over to the Damroscne residence
simply to make a social call. Mr..
Blalnes condition was so much i'm
proved that a professional call was not
considered necessary.

4 Good Showing.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Commis-
sioner Raum OF the pension bureau has
written a letter to Secretary Noble
calling attention to the very material
decrease in payments on account OF
pensions during the present fiscal year.
The entire payments for army pen
sions during the present fiscal year
will not exceed SIG, 900, 900. The
total appropriation for this service is
1925, 0O9, 0O9.S9. It now seems prob
able that there will be left OF this ap-
preparation at the end of the fiscal
year, SO, 769. 900. The allowance of
a great number of claims under the
act of July q, 1890, has so reduced
the amount OF the first payment on
pension certificates as to bring about
this favorable result.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1891-05-22

Washington describes his condition
las buoyant rs II balloon and at times
almost as likely to collapse" His
general condition Of. health is good,
however. Mr.. Blaine is not a rugged
man, physically. but he is likely to
live as long and be as vigorous as any
man Of his years. The secretary
looks fairly robust when walking on
bent forward, his face is paid and
colorless and to some his eyes appear
heavy and baggy. yet these character
istics are little more marked than they
were when he made his spirited CAM
paign six years ago. OF late, how
ever. Mr.. Blaine has failed to keep up
his customary care as to dieting and
the carelessness has had its effect.
He attends frequent dinner parties
which the spirit of the occasion leads
him to throw aside all caution and to eat
viands and pastry which do not agree
with him. Mrs. Blaine understands the
ARE he must exercise and usually sits
beside him and prevents his eating the
things which will have 4 bad effect,
but. when she is not at hand the secre-
tary enjoys everything put before him.
When the Italian affairs was at its
height, the secretary attended a dinner
party and ate freely OF plum pudding
a:lame with rum. The ext day he
had an cut attack of indigestion
which developed into govt. 1t was
this attack which held him fast at
home while the Fava affair kept the
state department in hot water and pre-
cipitated the country into an interna-
tional jangle. All of the crisp letters
to Rudini which came from Blaine at
that time were written from his sick
room. He is u sensitive man, and
when he feels indisposed he immedi-
ately sends for his physician, DR.. Lin
coin. After throwing off the attack he
was in fair health up to the time OF
his going to New York. and his close
friends here believe that it was only
%inattention to diet at SOME New York
dinner party that brought about the
present sickness.

Timber Land Decision.

WASHINGTON, May 13.--Assistant
Secretary Chandler has rendered a de-
cision in the timber culture application
case OF Thomas A. Cotfey VS. Bolivar
Tracy and Walter G. Brown in which
the general land Office rejected Coffey:s
application to enter the northeast quar-
ter, section 80, township SO north OF
range AS, west, Chadron, Neb., dis
trict. The assistant secretary besides
that Coffey's contest proceedings We're
improperly brought and that he has no
preference right by reason thereof;
that the land vas subject to entry when
Brown filed the REIMBURSEMENT of
of Tracy and Higgins and as he was
first to apply his entry should be
allowed and Coffey's application to
enter should be rejected. A part OF
the decision below is therefore vacated,
but that portion from which an appeal
is taken is affirmed. The assistant
secretary affirms the decision of the
commissioner holding intact the timber
culture entry OF Harry W. Blake for
the northwest quarter section %, town
ship 123, north OF range &C. west,
Aberdeen, S. d., contested by Dennis
NJ. Frill.

This being again season OF

the building of. reservoirs and
water storage. Nothing is said Of
the 800, 900 appropriation Is
build our first reservoir. 1t is
the Old story OF the Arkansaw
traveller and cabin. They will 90
on trusting to luck until we have
another season OF drOuJh. All
this time too, there is talk Of
bringing people from Tennessee
and other places to settle up the
country. If the people of Ten
nessee could bring with them
some of the water that is driving
them out of their own couutTy it
would be all right, otherwise they
would not be long settled here be
fore they would be gaping like q
nest Of young robins for water
they let behind them.
With first class water storage
on the Carson and Walker rivers,
and with Lake Tahoe and Bonner
Lake fully utilized as storage res
ervoirs, western Nevada might be
made to sustain dense popuia-
ton. There would be water for
not only all the valley, but also all
the fine bench lands-the lands
on which would be grown the best
crops Of all kinds, and where
would be the orchards and the
vineyards.
Had we half dozen men with
sagacity, enterprise and wealth Of
Newlands, We should see Nevada
bloom and blossom like q rose.
He has done more for the water
storage than other man in New

pear to be perfectly willing to see
him do it all. There would not
be a dissenting voice, unless he
should ask some native" to put

The Pratt Fund.

Yesterday was a good day for
the Pratt Fund A good May
subscriptions came from children
who walked in smiling with their
dimes. One little fellow who did
not want his name mentioned,
when asked why said: Mother
gave me the bit to buy candy and if
she finds out gave it away she
might kick" The chances are one
hundred to one that the mother
would not have kicked, but that
was the boys idea of it and moth
ing could change him.
The Examiner says that Mrs.
Pratt is suffering considerable pain
but the wounds are doing well.
She is described as a worry hand
some, intelligent woman with
perfect form and skin as rosy
as sea shell.
So far the APPEAL has not had
the pleasure Of receiving subscrip-
tons from any Of its city contem-
poraries. Ten cents would be bet
ter than nothing even if the papers
themselves did not work to aid
the fund We feel certain that if
they only opened their columns to
subscriptions they would, by rea-
son of their very large circulation
reach several hundred readers and
perhaps take money faster than
the APPEAL has done.
We would like to see some other
paper jump in on this proposition
and beat the APPEAL out of sight.
