HOBART AND NEBRASKA.

Carrot A. Hobart the republican NOM
inee for vice president, is interested in
Nebraska.
Mr.. Hobart has a considerable sum
of money invested in Nebraska farm
mortgages.
Some time ago / received a letter
from Mr.. Hobart asking me to look I'D
a number of pieces of farm property
in this state on which he held mort
cages" said Louis Helmer, of Valpa-
raise, formerly of Lincoln. to a Cour-
Ter representative the other day. Il
had had no acquaintance with Mr.
Hobart. Somebody recommended me
TO him. There were a good many
farms to examine and had a running
correspondence with him / found
him to be fine business man, and was
agreeably surprised when 1 saw that
he was mentioned for the nomination
for vice president someweeks ago. He
wrote me that he had no desire to
push the people whose mortgages he
held, that all he wanted was to see
that the property was all right and
that the interest was paid as promptly
as possible. found all the property
in first class shape. Nebraska farmers
would have Jared much better than
they have in the last three years if
they had had more creditors like Mr..
Hobart"

A STREET SCENE.

The Iengthening shadows cast by the
receding sun had given away to the
soft twilight. The hum of industry
had ceased. The big doors of the
stores Were locked. The clerks, re-
splendent in summer finery, were pa
rading gaily by. casting disdainful
was crowded with subdued but happy
people. Relaxation was written of the
faces of the moving throng.
In front of Frank DuTeirs four or
five young men were lazily grouped,
discussing baseball news, or mayhap,
spinning harmless yarns. At Ninth
and o streets a gay party of men and
women were waiting the arrival of the
car to start for an evenings frolic at
Burlington beach.
Seven persons were kneeling in the
street in front of the First National
bank, at Tenth and o. One of the
seven, a man, was praying. The 9TH
ers were listening with eyes closed
Four were women. Each held some
musical instrument, for the moment in
disuse. The women wore dark blue
waists and skirts and blue bonnets.
The men wore blue uniforms The
leader, the one who was praying, had
some gold stripes on his coat. The
Salvation Army was going through its
nightly open-air devotions.
On the sidewalk from seventy-five to
one hundred people stood idly contem-
plating the little group of kneeling,
praying salvationists. They chatted
softly, and now and then some street
urchin would send up a mocking laugh.
But the voice of the praying man rang
loud and clear above the noise of the
street
Standing on the corner, a little space
from the crowd, were two men who
were listening intently to the voice of
prayer. They took in every word.
They were. in fact, about the only per-
sons within sound of the exhorter's
voice who were giving serious heed to
his words.
I'll, hoIu, SdIut III ltTNtHl ecSldCy
from the street samaritan, have
mercy on these poor sinners They
amt doing right, and we ask Thee to
take them to Thy bosom Oh. Lord,
We pray Thee, bring down Thy bless
ings on every person who hears these
The two men were visibly affected.
One of them involuntarily uncovered
his head. Then, seeing that he was re-
garded by some of the curious among
the crowd. he grabbed his handker-
chief and mopped his brow as if he
had removed his hat for that purpose
The other continued to listen intently.
In few minutes both passed on down
the street. One, the one who uncov-
cred his head, was L. w. Billingsley.
rhe other was a brother attorney

made aslong and full report, and 1t showed
that between 1910 and 1873 wages had just
about doubled, and then the report says:
After 1873 there was falling off, The re-
port goes on and shows that toward 1850
there was slight rise in wages above the
point they had recently fallen to, but never
reached the point they had occupied before
and that soon thereafter decline set in
which continued.
Both Mr.. Schurz and Mr.. Cochran treat
the whole subject of falling prices as if it
were simply a scramble between different
citizens-between the seller and buyer If
TINS We're all. then the matter would not be
OF such transcendent and reaching impor-
lance, and would not so directly affect the
welfare OF the whole people. Neither grasps
the great principle that falling prices first
disturb business in It's entire circle, and af-
feet the property of both rich and poor, and

Ing power of labor and produces general
paralysis In the land. No matter what may
be the cause of falling prices their effect upon
the community is more than mere scramble
all advocates of the gold standard fail to
rise TO the occasion, fail to meet the re-
qulremtnts of the case; their treatment of
this question is almost fippant.
Mr.. Schurz attributes the panic of 1893 to
the fact that, as he says: THE grave doubt
arising IN the public mind whether the gov
eminent would be able to maintain the gold
standard. We were then within a hair s
breadth Of a widespread bankruptcy of the
banks and only the wisest management and
the utmost efforts of the clearing houses pre-
vented it.. Now, Mr. Schurz is entitled to

Bishop Marty was in the sixty-sev-
enth year of his age. His death was
due to heart failure and a complica-
ton of diseases, from which he has
been suffering for some time past. I'm
mediately upon his death the Catholic
bell was tolled one-half hour to an
nounce to the people of the city their
bereavement. All the private papers
and documents of the bishop were at
once placed under lock and key, and q
telegram was Immediately sent to
Archbishop Ireland, and nothing will
be done regarding funeral arrange
ments until the arrival OF the arch
bishop. 4ssae
Bishop Marty was up and dressed
this morning, but, feeling poorly, re-
turned to bed He was rapidly taken
worse and died as stated.
Bishop Marty was formally Installed
in tbs diocese Tuesday, March 10.
1895, in the presence of a vast congre-
cation and clergy from all parts Of this
state and several others. The occasion
of the installation was marked by the
presence of Archbishop ireland, who
delivered stirring grafton upon the
occasion. Father Raster then of Lit
tie Falls, addressed the new bishop on
behalf OF the clergy. bidding him well
come and offering earnest assistance
and obedience to his mandates. Faith
er Raster was followed by Hon. c. #.
Macdonald, Of this city, who addressed
the bishop on behalf of the Iaity. In
