Washington, Feb. 23.-The senate
devoted itself TO business, and would
have completed the Indian appropria-
ton bill, had not nm acrimonious dis
cussion arose on the sectarian school
question. 1t brought out a wide range
of debate on the separation Of church
and state, In the course Of which the
expressions were general that the gov.
ernment should entirely abandon de
nominational schools. ON an aye and
nay vote an exception was mnde in the
case of the Indian schools at Hampton,
Va. and Lincoln, Philadelphia, on the
ground that they were not strictly de-
nominatlonal.. The sectarlan question
was still under discussion when the
senate adjourned.
The house devoted most of the day
to the consideration Of tho senate
amendment to the consular and diplo-
matte appropriation hill appropriating
$500. 900 for the construction of q cable
to the Hawaiian islands Messrs,
Ryan. Bartlett and Sickles. Democrats
Of New York, spoke in favor of the

ais for postal cars and for the Eastern

all these amendments were defeated
BY decisive majorities. Secretary
Morton was present during the debate
on the agricultural bill. 1t brought out
animated discussion of the proposition
to amend the meat inspection system
In order to get American meats into
foreign countries. During the day the
pooling bill was taken up long enough
to permit speech in It's support by
Mr. Butler Is. C.) In charge of the bill.
The house considered the naval mp
propriation bill and devoted the day to
the general debate. The bill carries
$31 1870 and authorizes three new
line OF battleships and twelve torpedo
boats. The features of the bill pro-
viding for the new ships were an
tagonized by Messrs. Simpson Pop,

Messrs. Talbot (Dem.. Md.), Dolliver

Washington, Feb. 20. - Mr.. Lynch
Deln., Wis.), from the committee OH
Indian Affairs, was recognized in til :,
house to move the passage Of bill to
authorize the construction If certain
dams across the st. Louis and Cloquet
rivers In Minnesota. The purpose of
the bill was to permit the Altanonte
Water company to erect dams across
these rivers to furnish power to Du-
luth and other places, and for that pur-
pose to overflow. condemn and pay
for lands overfown ON the Fond du
Lac Indian reservation. Mr.. Tawney
(Rep., Mimi demanded a second. 1t
was ortlcred-1G7 to II. Mr. Lynch
explained the project, which he said
was one Of the largest In the West.
The company proposed to erect a
dam 700 feet thick and 100 feet high
about twelve miles west Of Duluth,
and was designed to furnish not only
an adequate water supply but GOO
horsepower to Duluth and other
places. Mr.. Tawney strenuously op-
posed the bill. Mr.. Haugen (Rep.,
Wis) and Baldwin (Dem.. Minn.), in
whose district 1t was proposed to
build the dams, supported the meas
ure, declaring all the interests were In
favor Of 1t. Mr.. Baldwin declared
that the real opposition to the bill was
the numbering inter ests Of Minnesota.
The vote resulted 124 to 92. Two
thirds not having voted in the affirma-
tive, the bill was lost.
BY a bold parliamentary move the
silver men Of the senate, under the
leadership Of Senator Jones Of Ar
kansas. forced aside all other pending
business, including appropriation bills.
and by vote Of 30 to q made the
bill for the unrestricted coinage Of
silver unfinished business before the
senate. Having Auccceded in this Mr..
Jones gave notice that tile silver bill
would be kept before the senate until
final vote was secured before adj
journment tomorrow. From the
strength shown by the silver men ON
the votes to-dny there was little doubt
Of Mr. Jones' ability to secure the vote
tomorrow unless obstructive tactice,
or test Of physical endurance are
inaugurated, which is regarded rs
likely.

Wu0ulukIOu, reO. 1V.-A storm OF
financial debate swept over the senate
exceeding In intensity any discussion
the upper branch Of congress has had
In many days. It was brought on by
Mr.. Hills advocacy of his resolution
defining the policy Of the government
Tor bimetallism and for paying its OBJ
ngatlons in the best money in USE
The New York senator spoke with his
usual vlgor, and was closely followed
In his plan for sustaining the national
credit by q declaration Of policy to the
world.
But Mr.. Hills speech was merely
the warning note Of the storm. He
was followed by Mr.. Wolcott Of Colo
RADIO, Mr.. Lodge Of Massachusetts, and
later by Mr.. Teller Of Colorado iii the
most scathtng denunciation and ar.
raignment of the administration for
It's recent bond contract with the
Rothschilds and other foreign bankers.
Mr.. Wolcott made a direct and per-
sonal criticism of tile president. Mr..
Lodge was more temperate, but quite
as severe In his personal arraignment
or the president, declaring that the
recent bond contract was the blackest
net In the history Of American finance.
MI. Teller added to the flood of criti-
ctsm on the recent acts of the admins
tration.
Mr.. Hill replied briefly and with
spirit. He declared that a futile effort
was being made to arraign the pres
ent administration for Its appeal to the
Rothschilds, while as matter of fact,
former Republican administrat tions
had sold bonds to the same foreign
bankers. Mr.. Hill declared that the
president and the secretary Of the
treasury had secured the best terlus
possible. The senator closed his speech
BY reading the cable from Berlin an
nouncing the purpose Of Germany to
convene another international none
tary conference. No action was taken.

LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS.

From August 81 to September Is.
1888. occurred the memorable series of
joint debates between Stephen A. Doug
las and Abraham Lincoln. who were
presenting their views of the great
slavery question to the people of H.
linois, to see whether the people of that
state would return Douglas to the Uni
ted States senate, or would turn him
down for a better man. Douglas was
great favorite in his own state. An
able orator and a man with a splendid
record. he won again in his race for
the senate. He was then. perhaps. the
foremost man in the public eye. Espe-
cially in the county i'm which the terri
torial capital should be. the pioneers
of Nebraska proudly brought the name
Douglas to our soil as early as Sep
tember. 1854. Another attempt to give
this name to the capital city of Nebras-
ka territory. as well as to the county
where the capital had been, is very in
teresting in its connection with national
affairs.
In the third session of the territorial
assembly many delegates had come
from up and down the river, determ-
ined to take away the capital from Om-
aha They met January 5. 1857, and
on the fourth day a bill was introduced
for this purpose. This measure, which
was successfully carried through both

capital to a paper town" in Lancaster
county, called Douglas" A blank GER
tincate of two shares in that town site
appears among the collections of the

OLD LANCASTER COUNTY.

The first Lancaster county was a very
different district from the present coun-
ty of that name. At first the law max
ers for this territory used local names
to designate boundaries, instead of
township and range and it is very diff
ficult to tell. in some instances. where
the county limits weres Then. too,
when one begins to look up such a
matter he finds that Lancaster county
for example. has a boundary beginning
where Cass county stops: and after
Cass county is located il is found to
make connections with Pierce county,
and that again, with Fortney county
The first Pierce county extended about
100 miles west from the Missouri. strip
of country about twenty miles wide ly-
ing across the middle of Lancaster and
having Nebraska City at the eastern
end. The Lancaster county of 1855 had
a western boundary about six miles
east of the present boundary, and ex-
