Jerry simpson Back from tbe East.

WAsHrSaroN, D. c. May 1a.-Represen- tative Jerry Simpson is back from his East ern trip. As usual he Is full of surprising information. He says that in New York State ninety out of every 100 ia rms are mortsaged for more than they W ould bring if sold today Many of them are not worth half what they were when the mort gage was put on them. In New England Mir. Simpson discovered that the poop le were rapidly becoming free traders. The manufacturers. he predicts. will make the same discovery about protection the South did about slavery--that it Is a mistake. He argues that protection will have to be up- rooted as slavery was, by boli radical action, not little by little. A new party will have to do all this for the Dem ocratic is not Q free trade party, but conservative party. Mir. Simpson is going to the Gin oipnati Convention next week He will try to hold it back, for he says it is too soon to force the third party idea on the public. The National An ance Convention will be held in this city next February. That will be the suspicious occasion. in Mir. Simp- son's opinion, to open the valves for tho third party movement

The ownership Of the land Is in dispute, both the States of Iowa aud Nebraska claiming 1t, and to settle the question a suit is now pending in tho United States Court The ground for Nebraska claiming the land is on account of bsing on that side of ths Missouri River, but the time was when the disputed territory was on the Iowa side. It was through the change in the course of the river that the land was trans ferred During tho last two years quite a number of fam lies have located oa tho tract suppos- ing they were in Iowa Omaha parties claim ing to be owner, of the property have be- gln eviction proceedings against the set tiers, and four of the writs were served yesterday and others to-day. These fam ilies are thus left homeless, and those who were put out of their homes yesterday wcre kept warm last night by huge bon fires. Constable Sullivan. of Omaha, who has been serving the writs of eviction. has shown no mercy to the frightened women and children. The families who built the dwellings there have beon refused the privilege of tearing the horses down or moving them on to other property not cla med by the Omaha parties. So far about sixteen writs of eviction have becn issued.
