When Arrayed in Robes of State His
Glory Is Like Solomon's.
The foundation of municipal honor
in England undou btedly springs from
the Guildhall, London, which Justly
claims to be accounted the most an
.clent Of our municipal halls, seeing
that the lord mayor of the last eigh-
teen centuries are with Justice as
sumed to have their prototy pes in the
Roman project and the Saxon Fort
reye or Portgrave. ~
For a considerable mum Der of years
the robes OF the lord mayor, the
court of aldermen, and the common
councillors have been settled with a
precision that none, save the most
reckless of inventors, would pre-
sumo to disturb. The lord mayor
himself has his .'gold" robe for the
occasion of the annual Guildhall
banquet and the times when he pro-
,ceeds in state either to the newlaw
courts or to the houses of parlia.
.ment. The aldermen have their
scarlet gowns, the sheriffs their dis
tinctive and very handsome robes
and chains. while the common coun-
cillors rejoice in gowns called 4.maz-
arines,'' it being generally UNDER
stood that mazarine is q term for a.
particular dark-blue color, although
according to some photographers,
mazarine also means a drinking yes
sci and an old way of dressing fowls.
Then. again. when the sovereign
comes into the city the lord may or
is bound to don robe of crimson or
purple velvet. trimmed with ermine.
At the time of his investiture, he
wears q massive gold chain; but
when he is honored by reelection at
the expiration of his term of Office he
wears two chains. The mace of sill

The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1894-09-21

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 1S.-Breckin-
ridge will contest the result of Satur-
days primaries in which he was de-
feated by W. c.. Owens and has already
sent letters to the committeeman in
eight counties notifying them of his
purpose. His ground will be fraud in
Scott county. The Breckenridge men
have a majority OF four in the district
committee, which declares officially
who is the nominee in the primary
returns. 1t is claimed by Breckin-
ridge men that enough illegal votes
were cast Saturday to overcome the
small plurality of Owens. The COM
mittee will meet Saturday of this
week at Frankfort to canvas the
votes.
Colonel Barney Tracy, president of
the Owens club, claims that he is in
40 way afraid that Owens viii lose
the race.
The Breckenridge people say that
Owens lead is only i59. and that the
committee will give to Breckenridge
the nomination sure. Stress is laid
upon the fact that Owens county
(Scott) which gave him 1900 plurali-
ty, showed an increase of Gil over the
Democratic vote in 1892, and Franklin
county, which Owens carried by sci,
showed An increase of 691-almost 33%
per cent in each county. The 9TH
er six counties show from 5 to 20
per CEN increase. Desha Breckenridge,
]. c. Rodgers and j. G. Bullock have
gone to Scott county to get affidavits
and to investigate the report that two
precinct polls were kept open an hour
longer than the law allows, and this
will be one of the grounds of contest.
Some of the Breckenridge men
claim to have discovered numerous
clerical errors in their favor, reduc-
ing Owens plurality to less than
eighty. In one precinct at Owens

DOWN BRECKENRIDGE.

home they claim there were over
eighty fraudulent votes cast, or 4
miscount to that extent. Desha Brock
inridge is at Georgetown, looking
after that precinct and he telegraphs
there are other frauds that will more
than overcome even the estimated
claims of the Owens men.
The impression is gaining ground
here that the committee, which reg
istered Breckinridge's will in all
matters preceding the primary, will
decide in his favor next Saturday.
In such event the minority of the
committee announce they will report
Owen as the nominee and both can
didates will fight to a finish in Noven-
Der. The Republicans will be gov
erned largely by the result of the
outcome of the contest before the
Democratic district committee. The
Republicans polled 9,443 votes for
congressman at the last election,
which is considerably more than
either Owens or Breckenridge polled
last Saturday.
In all the churches yesterday morn
ing the defeat of Breckenridge was
referred to in prayer or in sermon as
a matter for national Thanksgiving.
The exact figures by which Breckin-
ridge was defeated cannot be known
until the county committees canvass
the vote of their respective counties
to-day. AT present all estimates are
based upon a mixture of official, semi
official, newspaper and telephone re-
turns and run from $50 to $50 in favor
of Owens.
The Breckenridge members Of the
district committee came here yester-
day with several county chairmen,
and the Owens men fear manipula-
ton. They say that in Owen county
and in precincts of Woodford and
Henry the figures hitherto returned
as official may be changed so as to in
crease Breckinridge's showing.
The greatest surprise vas the result
in Owen county, Settles home, where
Breckenridge ran nearly eve with
Settle and Owens vote was ridicu-
lousy small. Charges are openly
made that Settle threw his home t.
Breckenridge with the understanding
that ne would be the latter's political
legatee two year hence.

PLUNGED ON WHEAT.
An Unknown California Magnate Stands
to Lose a Full Million Dollars.

'~9S "a 80 A(oAl-lS
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17.-Somebody
stands to lose Il million dollars on
wheat, and San Francisco grain men
are wondering who it is. For months
L. Z. mclaughlin bought wheat for
some unknown Spectator until he had
accumulated between 175, 900 and 900
900 tons for which he paid an average
price Of S1.20 per GENITAL. At present
prices ne cannot realize within thirty
five cents of as much as he paid
per GENITAL for this immense quantity
Of wheat. 1t is said BY grain dealers
here that ex-senator James G. Fair is
the only man on the coast who has
enough ready money to back Nc
Glaughlin in such a big deal and it
now looks as if he had made an error
in his calculations that will involve
the loss Of 81, 600, 600. When McGlauch-
lin began to buy last winter wheat
was never before SO low. Under the
stimulus of big purchases the price
went up but it soon fell and wheat is
now lower than ever. 1t is calculated
that there are at present between 500,
900 and 900. 600 tons of wheat in the
state that a market must be found for.
All this wheat must be shipped out
OF the country and ship owners are
holding back for high charters.

WANT JONES TO RESIGN.
Nevada Republicans Address a Sharp
Letter to the Popuiist Convert.

Nevada Republicans Address a Sharp
Letter to the Popuiist Convert.
CARSON, New, Sept. Ex-senator
John P. Jones of Nevada has been re-
qucsted by the Republican state cen
trail committee to resign his seat in
the United States senate to which he
was elected by Republicans. This re-
quest is made in a long letter, which
was drafted by Chairman Trennor
Coffin, and approved by the state cen
trail committee at a meeting held in
this city. 1t eXhaustively reviews
Senator Jones letter of August 90. to
the former chairman of the committee,
Enoch Strother, in which Jones an
nounced he had left the Republican
party to join the Populists, and Sc
verely criticises his course of action.
The main points of the letter are as
follows:
You say you have not changed
your principles. Well and good. Then
it follows you have merely changed
your name and instead of calling
yourself q Republican, you will here
after term yourself a Populist. Do
the shining examples of Populist in
fuence conspicuous among others,
that of your own colleague) with
which you are daily and hourly con-
fronted in the senate justify the be-
lief that such u change will add to
your prestige and owe as a member
of that body? Do not the cases of
Sumner and Schurz, and Trumbull and
many others furnish the most painful
reminders that the day upon which a
1n,l1tnDt a-1 ---4-
leader breaks away from the organ
iZation in which he has won all his
fame marks the beginning of his po-
litical decline? Can you reasonably
expect a different result? But by
what mental process you arrive at the
conclusion the great principle in
volvcd requires you to part company
with the Republican party of Nevada,
your letter entirely fails to disclose.
You concede we are true to the
abandon us? Ii we are true to silver,
principle of which you write so
eloquently require you to remain true
to us? Not ONLY have we been true
to the cause of silver, but we have
been true to every other great princi-
DAS iAc you hOlNi Cdi Sho = Ulltu
all, we have been fidelity itself to
you. Then we ask again, why have
you abandoned us? The silver party
does not accept your name, while the
Populist party does not accept your
creed, SO that upon every recognized
political principle you are literally
left without a party in the state of
Nevada. The publication of your let
ter has rot caused even a waver in
the ranks and no detection of any
leader. however great and distin-
guished, will cause them to swerve a
hairs bi eadth from what they believe
to be their duty.
"In conclusion, we desire to re-
mind you that you were elected to
the senate as a Republican by the
Republican party. In the strictest
sense of the office it is a political one,
and the Republican. party is entitled
to representation for the full term of
six years from March 4, 1891. AS you
now %nnoun you can no longer act
with the party that elected you, every
consideration of propriety and delica-
cy requires you to resign. In the
name of the Republican party of Ne
vada, we respectfully request you to
do So"

equalled IN the history of the order
since it's beginning. The proceedings
of the convention were secret.

standing, makes the statement that
Mrs. Grubb has defaultcd to the
amount of $500 and suit has been
brought against her bondsmen to
GOV Mrs. Grubb she says,
was reelected to the office
several times and had the confidence
of the ladies to such an extent that
the auditors in going over her books
considered it necessary only to make
a cursory examination. How long
the shortage has existed is not stated,
but at the Washington encamprnent
the books were thought to be correct
and she was reelected. At Indian
apolis in 1898 when the new treas
urer was elected, Mrs. Grubbs failed
to turn over some Of the books and
investigation then discovered the
discrepancy.

UNCLE SANS FINANCES.
Internal Revenue Receipts Very Small
and Customs Returns Only Moderate.

Internal Revenue Receipts Very Small
and Customs Returns Only Moderate.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-The reve-
nues of the government have fallen
almost $l3, 900, 900 during the first
fourteen days of this month as com
pared with the last half of August.
The receipts from customs for tn
first fourteen days of this month
amounted to 50, 227, 1000 lin POUND num-
bers) against So, 730, 900 for the last
half Of August, whilg the receipts
from internal revenue were but
So, 202 900, compared with $50, 634, 900
for the latter half of August. The
loss is due to the enormous sums paid
on whisky withdrawn for consumption
just before the new tariff act increas-
ing the tax from ninety cents
to 81. 10 per gallon went into effect.
The receipts from internal revenue
for the first fourteen days of the
month dwindled to s.. 927 ,O00-about
$3.50, 900 below the normal and were
not counterbalanced by an increase
in the receipts from customs due to
heavy i~mportations under the reduc-
ed rates Immediately following the
enactment of the new law, the custom
receipts increasing only about SO, O00,-
600. The receipts from internal rev
enue are now confined almost en-
tirely to the tax paid on beer, cigars,
cigarettes and tobacco, and average
about $3.50, 900 per day, while for July
and August, when so much whisky
was being withdrawn, they averaged
over 81, 900. 900 daily.
1T is not expected the receipts from
the tax on alcoholic spirits will reach
normal again before January 1, 1895.
This will have the effect, it is be-
lieved, of keeping the receipts of the
treasury down to about two-thirds of
the normal, or in other words to
about $22, 900, 900 per month until jan
uary /. This estimate leaves out of
account any large increase in the i'm
po~rtations arising from the operations
of the new tariff law. The eXpendi-
lures have averaged about $34, 600, 900,
but without the sugar bounty, which
is now u thing of the past, they will
be reduced to about S31. 600, 900. For
the next four months it is estimated
that the receipts will be about $751;
900, 900 and the expenditures about
S124. 900. 900.

BUSINESS
Not Many Changes Noted Under Three
Weeks of tho New Tariff Bill.

Not Many Changes Noted Under Three
Weeks of tho New Tariff Bill.
New York, Sept. l7.-R. G. Dun's
Weekly Review Of Trade says: Bust
ness has met no setback this week
and continues larger than earlier in
August and larger than a year ago
directly after the panic. The country
has now passed nearly three weeks
under the tariff and all admit that
changes have been of less Importance
as yet than vas expected. If in some
branches business has materially in
creased, it has gained a little or
has fallen off in others. Loss in
some directions is explained By
crop reports, for the most favorable
estimate of experts puts the loss of
corn at about 400, 900, 600 bushels,
whereas the government report is by
some interpreted as meaning a loss of
1000, 900, 900 bushels. The opinion Of
the trade does not favor the official
estimate, and the price has not risen
at all during the week, though re-
ceipts have been very small. Exports
have practically ceased, and all real
ize the shrinkage of 400, 900, 600
bushels is serious if it proves to be no
greater, since it must affect the prices
of meats for a year or more. Pork is
unchanged, but lard has risen 30 cents
per 100 pounds.
Nor are official reports encouraging
as to wheat. Western receipts in two
weeks have been Il, 1S4, 667 bushels,
against 10, GA, 7G1 last year, and At
lantic exports only 2,O74, 100, against
5, LOG, 562 last year, and the price is
one-ha1f cent lower. Considerable
injury is officially reported to cotton,
but few expect less than $500, 900
bales, which is more than enough,
and the price is one-sixteenth lower.
