Per Diem of the Billion Congr. So.

From the Philadelphia Record, Dem.]
The expenditure of the billion Con
gress is such bewildering total that it
is hard to grasp it, 1t has to be divided
up md thought of in separate sums. 1t
amounted to $2,00O,OOO per day while
Congress was in session. Counted in
silver dollars there was metal weight
of 5000 tons. This would make an out
lay of tons per day, Or about $525
apiece for each Senator and Representa-
tive. For the two sessions of 500 days
the expenditure was at the rate Of $23 a
second This is tolerably rapid gait.
1t is not probable that. the Billion Con.
gress will ever find its equal for rapac-
ious prohigacy.

GRAND ISLAND, Sept. LIT was
nearly p m. and hotter than Texas
when the Nebraska state democratic
convention come to order here this
evening, that it was feared, would last
till day light.
The strenuous missionary work, per-
sstently continued to head off a possi-
BILE serious split regarding the attitude
of the party towards the farmers, par
ticularly on the railroad question. was
apparently to large extent responsible
for the extraordinary late start.
Chairman Ogden of the state cen
tral committee nominated Frank l..
Ireland for temporary chairman.
-Four secretaries were chosen and the
temporary organization made permanent.
Judge j. Ii. Broody for member of state
supreme court was put before the con
vention and carried it with vim and alb
solute unanimity. Cannon of Omaha
nominated Lawyer +. a. Brogan for re
gent of the state university. Capt. 5. +.
Henelier, farmer, was also nominated
and both he and Brogan like Broody
were selected by acclamation. This
completed the ticket, all without the
slightest suspicion of a hitch. 1t was
decided that the central committee
should fill any vacancies on the ticket.
