SILVER Is PARAMOUNT.
Nebraska Democrats Declare for the W hits
Metal on q Basis of 10 toll

HStht On - babiB Oh 1O TO l..
OMAHA. Neb. August 2a-If an ef-
fort WAS made TO oonoilisse any warning
elements in the ranks Of Nebraska Dem.
ocrsts IL was not In evidence 81 the
State Democratic convention TO-DAY.
Prior to the session there WAS some talk
about the silver and gold wings Of the
party combining, but If such plan was
seriously contemplated IL was early
abandoned.
From o'clock, when Chairman Smith
convened the body, until IL o'clock to-
night, when the curtain went down in
the hall, silver was the only apparent
problem before the convention. But IL
was essentially convention of the ad-
vocstes OF tho white metal In the party
and the other wing ignored the action
OF to-day and will convene at Lincoln
September 5.
Edgar Howard WAS made permanent
chairman without opposition and tho
following nominations were made by
acclamation: Supreme court Judge, e.
j. Phelps; Regents State University,
Dr. III. s. Blackburne and J. j. Kettle.
After speeches of minor Importance,
bubbling ovor with silver sentiment
and opposition to the A. P. A. tho COM
mittee reported the following resolu-
tione:
We, the Democrats of Nebraska, In
convention assembled, reaf1irm our
faith in those principles written in the
declaration OF American Independence
and emphasized by Jefferson and jack
son. We reaff1rm the declaration made
by the last Demo cratic State conyen-
ton held In Nebraska September 2e,
1894.
We believe the restoration OF the
money OF the constitution Is now the
paramount Issue before the people and
insist that all parties shall plainly state
their respective positions upon the
question In order thst the voters nav
inte)ligently express their preference.
We, therefore, declare ourselves in
favor Of the immediate restoration of
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the present legal ratio of
l6 to /. as such coinage existed prior to
1873. without waiting for the aid or con.
sent OF any other nation, such gold and
silver coin to be full legal tender, for
debts, public and private.
We send greetings to our Democratic
brethren throughout the Union who are
making such gallant fight for the
restoration OF bimetallism and congratu-
late them upon the progress made.
Here followed q plank denouncing the
American Protective Association and
another commencing President Cleve-
lands civil service reform policy.
a delegate attempted to place the
following before the convention as the
minority report: We commend the ad-
ministration of President Cleveland as
being able, patriotic and honest, and re-
Affirm the platform adopted by the
Democratic national convention at
Chicago in 1892
Scarcely had the first word been ut
tered when the whole convention was
protesting. There was such q roar that
order wss not established fo- ten min
utes, when the offending resolution was
tabled without comment. Tonight
Hon. VIM. j. Bryan and other Nebraska
Democrats addressed the convention on
financial Issues.

INTERNATIONAL FREE COINAGE.

There Is not bimetallist in this
country or In England who would not be
willing, IL he could, to bring silver to q
parity with gold. There is not BIZ
metnllist In either country who would
not like to see international free coins
age established as the law of the land.
There is not one who would not like the
ratio to be Is to 1. So when We speak
OF meeting of English bimetallists to
promote bimetallism, we do not mean
to say that they have declared for the
free coinage of silver At the ratio of 16
to /, but are, nevertheless, counted by
themselves and to be counted by others,
as promoters Of bimetallism. If the
United States and Great Britain would
unite to establish coinage ratio OF IS
to /, 1t could easily be done. all the
duuderheads in the country to the con.
trsry, ding.-Richmond Dis
patch.
Then why not come out and take
your stand for the free coinage of silver
without consulting England? TO do
otherwise is to acknowledge that Eng
land is our master. To say that we
cannot regulate our monetary system
without the sanction Of England is an
Acknowledgements OF mental weakness
and moral cowardice that is disgraceful
in nation of seventy millions of peo-
pie. All talk about England declaring
for bimetallism is bosh. For a nation
like ours to be at the mercy of the gold
dealers Of England is enough to make

Astortans In general are just now dis
cussing railroad matters, and since
they have had time for reflection, Mr.
Hammonds success in securing th>
100000 to construct the road seems
wonderful feat OF financiering. The
amount. however, pales into insigni-
hcance when compared with previous
railroad transactions in these parts
especially when placed alongside the
SlO,OOO,OOO mortgage filed with the re-
corder in June. 1892, entitled the As
toria and Portland Railway company
to the Guarantee Trust Company, Of
New York City" Yesterday Recorder
Gunderson hauled out the record, and
turning to the proper place, counted
s6 closely written pages where the big
mortgage had been recorded. 1t might
be well to state that Recorder Dunbar
was Fortunate enough TO secure his
fees in this case before the Goss boom

Nervous exhaustion in children is
worrying a great many fathers and
mothers these days.
While the hurry and hustle of mod
ern life is bringing a constantly in
creasing strain upon grown men and
women, there certainly comes to light
the startling fact of a growing ten
dency rewards nervousness among
their children.
AS these boys and girls, when old
will enter a life of nervous strain fully
as exact.ng as that of today, it is no
wonder that parents view with dismay
these early signs of nervous weakness
and anxtously seek some means of
ma ing the young people strong an
we'll again. The remedy is at hand
in every city and town in America.
1t is the remedy first prescribed by
that greatest of all modern educators
Jrof. Edward e. Phelps, NJ. D. LII. D.,
Of Dartmouth college. It is Pa'ne's
celery compound, which Principal
Camp, of New Haven, and President
Cook, or the National Teachers AS
50 iation, have so recently recon,
mended.
Countless parents today give their
hndren Paine's celery compound and

mother is often amazed at the rapidity
with which 10 restores the strength,
builds up the worn tissues, and re-
places the languor of a depleted ner-
vous system by the elasticity of youth

Paine's celery compound makes peo-
pie well-not only worn out, enfeeblsd
men and women of mature age, but
young persons whose slghter powers
have been overtaXed by excitement or
immoderate work without proper inter-
walls of rest and repair
Paine's celery compound has played
a most important part in the lives OF
thousands of young people in every sec
ton of the country. Many of whose

home in New Berlin, Penn, says:
