One Of Them Says the Republicans Are

CHICAGO, March 20. ~ committee of
prominent members Of the Jacksonian club
Of Omaha arrived here to-day to make
arrangements for quartering 1000 enthu-
slastic democrats at the national conyen-
tion. Two Of the committee are for Hill
and the others are for Cleveland, with
Boise rs second choice. "Nebraaka will send
an uninstructed delegation said Chair
man SternHdorf OF the committee 'sOur
club and the democracy Of the whole state
are divided on the presidential question.
We shall, however, stand by the nominee,
whoever he may be, and with some posi-.
blllty OF obtaining & fsw electoral votes.
There is some talk of doing this and gain
ing the state election by Michipaniznp the
state, but Gov. BOYD refused to call a
special session of the legislature. We shall.
therefore, bring about fusion between the
Farmers alliance and the democrats. The
Farmers alliance will unquestionably carry
the state. aud if they nominate Van Wyka
for governor he will be our next United
States senator beyond question. The re-
publlcans are no longer in it 80 far as
Nebraska is concerned
In regard to filing papers reopening the
governorship question, Chairman Sterns-
dorff SAID: "ThRyer has gone crazy. That's
the only explanation | can find for HIS
actions. Even if the disgraosful and
contest were allowed to 60 on. it
could not end until this term of office had
expired. and Boyd's official acts would be

ARMY, NAVY AND MILITIA.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles Talks ON the De-
fenses of the Country.
WAsnfNGros, March 2O.~~Genera Nelson
a. Miles, III an interview, speaking OF the
army and navy and the national guard,
said: I'm proportion to our wealth and
population, the army is reduced to an ex-
treme minimum. 1t is SMALL but most
efficient. In intelligence, courage and pa
trlot1sm it will compare favorably with any
n the world. The same may be said Of
the national guard, yet in order to have
them properly equipped and prepared, one
of two things must be done: either the
press Of the country must tell the plain
truth and educate the public mind up to
our real condition and necessities, Or we
must meet some disaster that may check
our p ogress and burden US with national
debt that would last for another generation.
loo much is expected Of our navy. 1t is
ludlcrons to think Of holding tho navy re-
sDonsible for 200 miles Of frontier. Forti-
fications will some day receive from the
American people the consideration such de-
fenses deserve. The necesgitv for some
mobilization Of the regular army and the
national guard must be apparent to every
thinking man. The object Of the national
enoampment to be held IN August, 1888, will
be to promote the efficiency of the national
guard, to give the officers experience in the
handling Of largo bodies Of troops, and to
promote fraternal feeling between the
state troops from all parts Of the country"

MARRIAGE In ASHANTEE.
A Mans Social importance Decided by tho
Number OF His Wives.

a Mans Social Importance Decided by the
Number OF His Wives.
Polygamy is praoticed to an extravagant
degree i'll Ashantee. The more wives a man
has, the higher his social importance. The
number which man in private life may
have is limited by his ability to purchase
and support them: but the number which a
king may have is limited by law; limited
to the modest number of $685. and it ia
said that he usually does not exceed that
limit. At any rate he must have more
wives than any of his subjects, Or his re-
speetability will suffer. Tho present king
and he has 600 children. All the king has
TO do to get q wife is to choose any woman
he pleases no matter how young she may
be. Girls are often chosen when less than
10 years old, and i'll such cases they are left
with their mothers until mature age at
which time they ure taken to join the rost
of the 3, 333333.
No man ls ever allowed to see any of the
kings wives, and should he even accident-
ally see one the punishment is death. These
wives, during the working season, attend to
the kng's plantations, but the rest of the
time they live at CoDmasste, the Ashantee
capital, where they occupy two long streets.
When they GO out for walk III body. as
is often the case, they are preceded by u
OF eunuchs, who herald their COM
ing. that all men may disapper and avoid
looking upon them. When this is impossi-
ble they must fall upon their faces to the
ground. If u white man happens to be
there and understands not the law, the
eunuchs turn his face away from the ad-
women.

The Northern Pacific, 1t Is Said VIII A Id

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-It is stated here
that the Northern Pacific Railroad company
has determined to support Senator Casey.
of North Dakota, for reelection. His torn
expires with the Fifty~second congress
The election is to be held at Bismarck next
January. The Northern Pacific practically
controls the politics of the state The
company owns an immense amount OF
property in all the northern states west Of
Chicago, and its policy is to have legsla-
tors, Judges, assessors and executives
chosen who can be depended on to protect
its interests and grant it such favors as are
asked in one way or another. Much of the
political wrangling i'll North Dakota since

between the adherents of the company and
the farmer element.
Senator Casey is Il farmer capitalist and
may be said to occupy neutral ground in
the issues which divide the people of the
west lie is a trained business man and
represents 4 syndicate of capitalists in
farming and !andhoding. For year or
two before his election he gnve much atten
tion to the subject of irrigation and was
best known III that connection. He securel
the support of the farmer element without
much ullhculty, and at the same time was
looked upon 10y the railroad company as
unobjectionable. His election to the United
States senate was piece of political good
fortune that surprised himself as much us
anybody else. 1t was entirely foreign to
his expectations two weeks before it oc~
CURED. He and Gov. Pierce were the first
senators from the new state, though
not unmindfnl of the interests Of
the people. He was unlucky in the
senatorial drawing and got tho short
term--a year and a half He was defeated
for reelection by the railroad influence be-
cause he would not give the company such
as it demanded. 1t was
Casey's luck to dfaw the long term and
now it is understood that he has the good
fortune to have the company's backing for
q second term, though originally bought
out and pushed for election as a farmer.

INTERCOLLEGIATE FOOT BALL.

First Game in California Won by the
Men From Stanford.
SAN Francisco, March 2O.-The first in
tercolleglate game Of foot ball in California
was played between Stanford university
and State university teams yesterday, and
Stanford won easily by a score Of fourteen
to ten. The ball grounds where the game
was played was thronced BY enthusiastic
supporters Of each college armed with tin
horns, rattes and other noise provoking
Instruments. During the early part Of the
afternoon men from both colleges paraded
the streets in coaches, Stanford flourish
ing the red color and the State university
blue and gold. Three hundred Stanford
students came from Palo Alto on special
train and the Berkeley men we're out in full
force. An amusing incident was the fact
that when the game WAS called at three
O'Clock it was found that no one had re-
membered to bring foot ball SO the i'm
mense crowd had to wait an hour
while a mounted messenger hastened
shortly after four o'clock, and the Stanford
team Immediately showed its superiority.
It's team work, which was very fine. won
them the game. Clemans, q new player,
himself and made the star
player Of the game as halfback for Stanford.
Stanford made all its points in the first
half, scoring one goal and two touch
downs. In the second half the Stanfords
did not try to increase their score, but
devoted their energies to blocking the Uni
versity men, with such success that when
time was called, the latter had made but
Two touch downs and II safety touch, scor-
ing ten. Considerable betting was indulged
in, and although Stanford aggregated thirty
pounds more weight than the University, the
odds were against them three to one on ac-
count of the team being newly organized.
