CONFIDENCE IS RESTORED
Nightmare of Free Coinage Eliminated
from the Business World.
mANDERSoN ON RESULT OF THE ELECTION
In the Enst lie Finds that Money IL
Coming out of Hiding and
business shows signs
of Improvement.

General Mandorson returned home FRI
day after a ten days trip through the east
He left Omaha soon after casting his vote
for Mckinley and in order to get little
rest after his campaign work. He visited
Chicago New York Philadelphia and Wash
iugton while away, and came in contact
with a number Of men who are in promi-
pent posltion before the public at this time.
Mrs. Manderson did not return at this time
but is visiting friends in the east. In IN
interview with a Bee reporter General
Manderson spoke at some length upon the
condition OF many matters oil pubic con
ccrn as he found them.
II see that you have been to the east, Gen
eral Manderson. Have you anything to re-
mort as to any change OF conditions since
the eleCtiCng
yes there is a marked and important
change There is already a restoration OF
confidence that has meant the taking OF
money out Of places where 1t was boarded
and its investment in new and valuable
industries Many establishments that have
been closed for months have opened with
full force Of artisans; many that have been
running on short hours have increased their
forces and the hours of production"
do you think this is the result OF the
election Of McKinley?'
Decidedly so. The election of Mr.. Bryan
would unquestionably have made the late bad
condition infinitely worse. II would have
produced panic ana disturbance greater
In i'll results than anything that this country
has undergone In It's history. The conditions
both at home and abroad are favorable to
a greatly improved condition in the future.
The rise in wheat. which is n most marked
contrast with the fall in silver means an
advance in all food products. While this
advance Is to be attributed in part to
lion nd n los N
foreign production, the increase OF em-
ployed labor at remunerative wages means.
| firmly believe. a continued demand. the
increase OF which will mean an additional
price for the products Of agricultural states,
and Nebraska will feel the good effects
Of It,"
EFFECT ON NEBRASKA.
"Whst effect. If any, has the political re-
suit in Nebraska had upon the state in the
estimation of the east?'
Il heard general expressions of regret
that Nebraska was not associated with Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois. rather
than with Kansas and Missouri. Undoubt-
edly the loss of this state to the cause OF
sound money and reasonable protection has
iniuTOusly affected its credit. II will mean
hesitation on the part OF capital to invest in
our securities not from any spirit of re-
taliatiOn, but because OF fear of adverse and
unfair Legislation. ! talked with many men
in Philadelphia and New York and | think
! convinced those with whom talked of the
fact that | believed that the state officials
elect and the leglslature-elcct in this state
will pursue conservative and credit-saving
policy. | am not one OF those who believe
that all the wisdom and all the patriotism
is confined to the party to which | belong
and feel secure in the belief that the party
that VIII come into possession of the states
interests In January next will pursue a
course OF wisdom and conservatism. All
that is necessary is for us to establish that
fact and the credit of Nebraska will stand
where 1t always has stood-the highest of
transmissOuri states"
Were you in Washington during your alb
sence?"
II stopped there for few hours only and
looked up matters with reference to the
proposed removal of the Cheyenne Indians
who are now at Tongue River agency to the
Crow reservation In Montana. | think that
such a removal would be injurious to west
ern interests. The Crows occupy an enor-
nous body of land. through which the
burlington road runs, and instead OF there
being an increased number of Indians placed
upon the reservation parts of IL should be
opened to settlement. | found that the
matter had not yet progressed very far and
i hope that our efforts to prevent this in
crease of Indians upon the reservation will
succeed.
while there / heard much congratulation
upon the happy issue of the controversy
with England about Venezuela. Our govern
ment has by that result taken a long stride
In the direction OF international arbitration
and believe that an international court of
arbitration, such was spoken OF by the
lord chief justice of England in his address
last summer at Saratoga, will be had before
many years"
did you hear anything concerning Cuban
affairs?"
'Nothilg but rumors such as fill the news
papers but have no idea that there is any
danger Of this country going to war with
Spain on that question. II Cuba is TO be
acquired by this country 1t would be in
hnitely better that it should be purchased
rather than by conquest"
