MRS. LEASE.
JUDGE MARTIN.

In Nebraska the situation is quite as
amusing and far more complicated. In
Clay county the successful candidates
were voted for on three tickets. and the
Republicans disputed their election on
the ground that 1.-The canvassing board
had no right to assume that Il. l.. John
son, independent L. L. johnson, Dem
ocrat, and plain L. L. Johnson were
one and the same man." The supreme
court overruled that plea, and so Mr..
johnson, by whatever title called, and
two others in the same fix hold their
seats, which seems to assure Demo-
Populist majority on joint ballot. The
candidate best known out of Nebraska
is the brilliant young congressman. VIII
liam Jennings Bryan, of Lincoln, whose
extraordinary victory in 1890 and subse-
quent prominence in the house at Wash
ington have given him national fame.
He was born in Salem, Marion county,

Illinois college at Jacksonville in 1881.

man Trumbull. located as q lawyer at
Lincoln, Neb., in 1887. and never held
an elective Office till chosen to congress
in 1890. The previous Republican ma
jority in that district was nearly 5000,
and it is scarcely possible that he can
hold it long; SO the natural wish of a
generous mind, a mind in sympathy with
ingenious and talented youth, is that
his future may be made secure by his
transfer to the senate: Locally, how
ever, these are powerful arguments, es-
pecially as the majority consists of fifty
two Populists to seventeen Democrats.
If the former stand upon their numer-
ical rights, their most likely candidate is
Congressman William Arthur McKeig-
han, now representing the Second dis
trict. He was born of Irish parents in
New Jersey in 1912, was reared in Full
ton county, Ills, served in the Eleventh
Illinois cavalry during the war, removed
to Nebraska in 1880 and after serving as
county judge was elected to congress in
1890 as an independent. Other candi-
dates are spoken of, including ex-Gov-
ernor James E. Boyd, but the above men
toned appear to have the lead. Senator
Paddock would of course like to succeed
himself, and at last accounts the Repub-
licans did not quite despair of combi-
nation to effect it. but speculation is idle,

justly termed the Inland Empire, has a
kick, and a justifiable one. Recently
the governmental station at Corvallis
issued a bulletin devoted to the soils of
Oregon. The bulletin had been pre-
pared by Prof. G. W. Shaw, professor of
chemistry, and in the bulletin he said
the maiR growth of Eastern Oregon was
cage brush and bunchgrass. This bull
letin was sent broadcast, and now, the
state board of horticulture embodies
every word of Prof. Shaw's bulletin in
their reports. It is likely that 1000
copies of each report will be printed for
distribution throughout the state and
at the worlds fair. The press of Eastern

Review. 1t is given out from Wash

there should be deficit in the treasury

power. In view of the fact that the de-
mocracy has been. giving the country
great song aud dance as to their purpose
to bring about speedy retrenchment,
this is an amazing confession. One
hearkening to their claims the past. two
years, would naturally think that even if
they should find slight deficit the re-
forms which they intend to put in mo-
ton would soon convert it into surplus.
No we are told that an extra session of
congress will be required. That is, the
way to retrench is to give the billion
dollar house another whack at the treas-
ury. kr

NHw YoRK, Jan. lt.-Discussing the
recent furry on Wall street, broker
with very keen insight into the full
knowledge ofsthe conditions and causes,
says many,rathef than one cause pre-
cipitated the decline in the price of
stocks which is the true barometer of all
trade. The engagement of nearly $6,-
00o, 600 of gold for export following upon,
previous heavy shipments operated to
cast shadow of apprehension. The
possibility of continued exports of the
basis of our currency deepened an al
ready uneasy feeling. Added to this
was the failure of the silver conference
for the present and the discouraging out
look for the future. These two eondi-
tions suggested, if they did not actually
foreshadow. a contraction of the volume
of currency.
There was discrimination of money
lenders against industrial certificates as
collateral. This was perhaps due to
the uncertain tariff policy of the incom-
ing democratic administration. Thisten-
dency was without doubt increased by
the fact that monetary conditions
forced Discrimination against some
securities Of impaired value, panic was
in the air. The immediate precipitating
cause, the mach applied to the powder,
is not conclusively shown by anything
that has developed. But indications
seem to point to the whisky trust stock,
which fell with the first break in the in
secure and already tottering market.
A great effort had been made to boom
whisky-trust stock. It had been forced
from forty-five to seventy-two. The
entire distillery product of the country
had been bought up and cornered. A
belief that the tariff would be reduced
and the revenue would be recouped by
an increase of the tax on whisky was
famed into rosy confidence. The rise
of the trust stock made fortunes for
those managing the deal. To hold on
meant to await legitimate returns upon
the actual investments in whisky. To
sell meant to secure at once what in the
end might not be secured. It is fortu-
nate for the legitimate holders of stocks
that these prices in Wall street do not
signify much of anything concerning the
real values. Railroad stocks, and, in
deed, all legitimate stocks, viii not be
impaired in their earning capacity.
The furry is disagreement between
the overhopeful borrower and the always
apprehensive lender of money. in due
course of time these disturbed condi-
tions will readjust themselves generally
approximately as they were before.
Some stocks may have got an airing
that will lower their price materially.
Many other stocks will settle back to
their former figures or thereabouts.
Some gentlemen who were on top will
be humbled, and those who were humble
will be exalted. The ups and downs of
Wall street fortunately do not carry the
rest of mankind with them:

and Mahoning road met at 200 o'clock.
The completion Of the laying Of the
rails on road which will, in all prob
ability, become the most important in
the county was not marked by any
demonstration, yet all will rejoice that
the road is now so nearly ready for
operation. The building Of the line in
the remarkable short time of eight
months is matter of surprise and when
passenger trains are put on and people
begin to travel over the route they will
be still more puzzled to know how II
time in which II was done. The road
from Dubois to Shecser Summit has Il
grade about fifty feet per mile and
passes many prosperous farms. From
Sheescr Summit to Curwensville II
follows Anderson Creek and branch and
goes down the valleys at grade Of
ifty-threc feet per mile. No farms are
in sight between the Summit and Cur

hills loom up on both sides.
