NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS DAY.
They CoDgregate at Lincoln TO Greet
Governor Boyd.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 15.-This was dis
tinetively and Enthusiastically demo-
Gratis day. 1t was the first time in the
history of Nebraska statehood that Bour-
bon hosts from the broad prairies of the
state could assemble under the shadow of
the capitols dome and cheer Justify for a
democratic governor at the state
house. He addressed the throng
briefly. The governor in the
course of his speech said he
believed the incidents attendant upon the
unprecedented controversy following his
election and the final result will have a
far reaching effect upon politics and that
its effect will be beneficial to democrats, as
the efforts of himself and those most
nearly concerned in resisting the efforts
of their opponents TO commit a great
wrong were guided throughout by de-
termination to abide absolutely within
the law; to act conservatively in all the
measures taken, with view to upholding
the honor and credit of the party and
fair fame of the state. Ii Is not alone
democracy which has been vindicAted
but the principles Of good honest govern
ment.

system of future deliveries grew up in re-
eponse to a demand from agriculturist5
for a continuous open market, which was
impossible without future buying and
selling, He believed that the sale OF
futures was in the interest of producers.
Speculation, in his opinion, had tenden-
CIV to sustain values. If man were pro-
hibited from buying for future delivery a
great stimulus to buying would be taken
away. In answer to Mr.. Lewis of Missis-
sippi, Mr.. Hamill admitted that some
times speculation forced the prices
down, but he believed this was
generally temporary and that in the aggre-
gate il sustained prices. The first dealings
in futures were by the government during
the war in mess pork. So far as 1t was
proposed TO prevent option dealings, the
board OF trade was in favor of the bill.
Options were dealt in outside the board
by members in good standing, but it was
against the board rules and against the
state law. II done outside the board room,
the exchange had no jurisdiction and,
therefore, did not provide for expulsion OF
members doing an option business. A
put" or "calr' was not tolerated by the
board of trade. 1t was purely gambling
transaction and the board would welcome
anything which prohibited IL.
In answer to Mr. Hatch, Mr.. Hamill said
there was a settling room In the board OF
trade building in which puts and calls
were frequently bought and sold from IL
o'clock, the time the exchange closed un-
til 4 o'clock. No record was kept of these
transactions. In his opinion these deal
ings had no appreciable effect on prices in
the open market. The difference between
a future and an option was that one was a
contract and the other only privilege to
make contract Mr.. Hatch asked Mr..
Hamill to define an illegitimate sale.
Mr.. Hamill said the law of Illinois and
the courts had defined the difference.
The board of trade required an actual
delivery in every case-not a personal
delivery involving carting of wheat from
one warehouse to another, but delivery
of warehouse receipt on which the wheat
could be obtained. The sale was made on
actual wheat and that sale could be dupli-
Gated indefinitely just as a fve-dollar bill
could be passed from hand to hand. This
sale was a negotiable contract This
future dealing kept up the prices because
the short" seller was the most anxious
buyer and the producer had him as well
as the miller and the exporter to sell to-.
The millers, he said in conclusion, would
like the bill passed because it would give
them a monopoly and enable them to buy
on their own terms.
S. w. Allerton and Mr. Morton of the
Chicago board also opposed the bill.

SANTIAGO, Feb. ia number of polite
cal prisoners. officers in Balmaceda's army
and others, who have been confined in
Jail in Santiago since the close of the war
appealed to the supreme court recently
for realease. They alleged that they had
been fogged in Jail and otherwise brutally
ill-treated and also threatened with death
when it was desired to extort some confess
sion from them. The supreme court re-
fused to consider their petition on the
ground that it was not couched in pro-
per language.
Another case which is well authentica~
ted has just come to light. A number OF
these political prisoners have been cons
fined to Quillota, a small town near Vals
paraiso. and O soldier who was on duty
there was murdered recently. a prison.
er who was form erly an officer in
Balmaceda's army was accused by
some congressional sympathizers of
killing the soldier. There appears to have
been no evidence against him beyond this,
but he was selected to pay the penalty oil
the soldiers death. The dead body of the
soldier and the prisoner were tied together
face to face for twenty-fcur hours. At ths
end of that time the prisoner was taken
into the Jail yard and shot and killed.

HILL AND GRAY.
Preference of a Mississippi Legisla-
ture-Other Available Men.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 14.-Representa-
Burkett, state alliance lecturer, will TO-
morrow introduce in the house a joint
resolution inviting Senator Hill to visit
the capital of Mississippi and deliver, on
the occasion of his visit, a speech on any
subject he may choose, on or before
March l. In conversation with the Asso-
ciated Press representative upon the sub.
ject Mr.. Burkett said: 81 regard Mrs
Hill as nearer in line with the reformr
demanded by our people than any othee
eastern democrat prominent enough to be
mentioned for the presidency. Alliance
democrats of Mississippi, and nine-tenths
of the order are democrats, will support
the democratic nominee, whoever he may
be. Boies OF Iowa, or Palmer of Illinois
would be acceptable to Mississippians.
But for the gold standard views of Rus
sell of Massachusetts he would make an
excellent showing. My individual pref
erence, however, is Hill and Gray, be-
cause 1 believe that to be the strongest
ticket that could be presented by the
democratic party"
1t will be remembered that poll Of the
Mississippi legislature some weeks ago
gave Cleveland the lead over the field.
