BRYAN CHALLENGES CARLISLE.
The Nebraskan Wants the Secretary
OF The Treasury to Defend
His Record.

OMAHA, NEE, May THE follow
ing challenge was sent today to Secre-
tary Carlisle at Washington by w. J.
Bryan of Nebraska:
OMAHA, NEB., May Z, 1S96.-Hon.
John q. Carlisle, secretary of the
Treasury: DEAR SIR-You have
changed your position upon the para
mount public issue and are now defend
ing financial policy which you once
denounced. The advocates of free and
unlimited coinage at 16 to 1 admit your
right to change your opinion, but
contend that you owe it to the public to
answer the arguments which you your
self made in 1873 before attempting to
answer the arguments of others.
You then accused John Sherman, who
was secretary of the treasury at the
time, Of beng in sympathy with the
capitalistIc classes and hostile to the
struggling masses. Do you now believe
your accusation was true? If your
accusation against HIM was then true,
how did you and he succeed in getting
together? Whose sympsthies under
went change, yours or his? If you
did him Injustice at that time, when
did you make the discovery, and have
you ever apolOgised to him publicly or
privately? Do you still believe that, on
the money question, the interests of
the ''idle holders of idle capital" are
antagonistic to the interests OF the
'struggling massesP"
In 1878 you denounced the conspiracy
to destroy silver as ''gigantic crime.
Did you ever withdraw that language
before entering the cabinet? You then
SAID that ''the consummation of the
scheme would ultimately entail more
misery upon the human race than all
wars, pestilences and famInes that ever
occurred in the history of the world. :"
Do you now think the free coinage of
silver could do any more damage than
that? Your record challenges you to
joint debate. Will you accept? Are
you willing to take up your speech of
1873 and answer it, one portion ut a
time? If you are, you will silence those
who doubt your sincerity and question
your motives. If you are not willing
to face your own arguments and over
come them, you cannot complain if
your opponents adopt the philosophy
of Shakespeare, and attribute your
cowardice to guilty cOnsciene.
Yours truly, w. j. BRYAN.

LIFE OF THE BOND TAX LEVY.
Ii Relates to the Railroad Bonds l. -
sued by Several Missouri Coun-
ties-Has Come Up in the
United States Court.

From the Kansas City Journal
Among the motions filed in the United
States circuit court yesterday morning
was one that has great importance in view
of the many suits pending in the courts
here against counties on the payment Of
railroad bonds issued under the provIs-
| ions of the act that was repealed In 1873.
Francis ID. Owings owns, or alleges he
owns, several bonds issued by Lafayette
| county in 1870 for the assistance OF the
Lexington, Chillicothe 81 Gulf railroad a
line that showed well on paper, but was
never constructed. He sued and obtained
judgment against the county years age,
but has never been able to realize, ard
has allowed the judgment to lie unused
in the courts. Recently he filed motion
for scire facias for the purpose of revi-
wing the judgment. To this motion the
| legal represe natives of the county have
| filed demurrer, and that was to have
been heard yesterday, but for many rea-
sons the court allowed it to go over for
time until other pressing matters were.
out Of the way and plenty of time was at
the disposal of the court to hear the
| merits of the action.
Apparently there is much in the de-
| murrer If the statements made by the
| attorneys are correct. 1t is stated that
| Mr.. Owing is not in fact the owner of the
claim and that the matter cannot come up
on his application; that the real person
interested is one WonderIy and that he
has not asked for any process and there
fore the matter cannot be heard; that the
law admitting of the revival OF judgments
| iG tod to Ind
of real estate and that judgments against
| the county are not and cannot be liens on
any realty in the county, and further that
the owners of the judgment have allowed
more than ten years to elapse and that
the judgment has ceased to exist and
under the law cannot be revived.
Altogether there is much troubIs ahead
apparently for the owners of the ttrHH
for which the people of the counties hffl.
never received any compensation. 1.ettf
under the provisions of an exceedinat5
foolish and improvident statute, which
was short lived, they were given in good
faith for the promotion of honest enter
prises. They fell into the hands of "pro-
moters' who failed wholly in everything
| incumbent on them and at once trans
| ferred them into the hands of other
persons who come into the courts as
| innocent purchasers" and with assumed
| innocence claim their pound of flesh.
Unfortunately in many cases the courts
are bound to maintain the position of the
claimants, but the obeyance of the order
is with the persons enjoined. Judge
| Phillips has significantly announced that
the Cass county judges are never going to
Jail for refusing to accede to the demands
for face value of the judgment claim
| against that county. Possibly the same Is
true of st. Clair and LAFAYETTE counties

Christian Soldier, Louisville paper:
ave are off now for Lexington, Mo-,
over the the B. Il o., by night, to St.

hurried breakfast, and a hurried look
through this wonderful depot, and we
are out over the NJ. p. for this ancient
town, once the center of great mer-
camille business. 1t is still nice, well
built town. 1t is more noted at pres
ent for its good schools than anything
else. Who has not heard of Prof. A.
A Jones and his college for gIrls? He
has been here five or six years, | think,
growing constantly upon the town,
conference and state. lie is quite
young, indeed boyish in appearance,
and about my size, small. He is
marvel of energy, modesty, piety and
push. lie says all he needs is more
money to make the school what he
wants it to be and what it should be.
For three years no girl has been de-
meriIed in this institution. II deport-
menl aud lessons are not perfect, the
lady is spoken to privately, and all are
placed strictly upon their honor.

FARMERS AND STOCKMEN

Do you know that threefourths
of the money earned by the farm
ers come from the swine industry
and in order to obtain the best re-
suits you should have yonr hogs
in good condition at all times in
order to secure the top market
price.
All breeders and farmers should
follow some system as to the care
of their hogs, as nearly twenty
five million dollars worth of hogs
are lost annually, as statistics
show. with cholera, swine plague
and innumerable other diseases.

Mother. -

oelecIed.
What hallowed memories, what
holy influences, what infinite tender
ness and resistless love, encircled with
gilded glory this most divinely inspired
and God-given namel
Unwavering in her devotion, inimita-
bic in the sweet melodies of her loving
voice, and matchless in her never-end-
ing fidelity to her offspring-next 10
God she has ever been the mightest
power on earth. The weeping infant
pressed TO her bosom falls asleep at
the sound of her gentle voice, and
smiles as 1t dreams OF angels regaling
it with heavenly toys. Childhood dis
tressed leaps for joy at her approach
and flies to her bosom for refuge. The
young man, trembling on the brink of
ruin, panses for moment, and the
5 Dft whispers of Il mothers prayer
leads him back to reformation.
All ages, in every condition of lie,
from the pauper to the king, yield
their willing homage to her resistless
influence. She has moulded king
do MS, revolutionized empires, civilized
and ChristIanized heather nations and
peopled earth and heaven. She is
first in every noble work, first in every
Christian reformation, and first IN the
kingdom of heaven She was last at
the cross, first at the sepulchre, and

with tears.
No painter's brush or poets pen,
In justice TO her fame,
Has ever reached half high enough
To write the mothers name.
Make ink OF tears and molten gems,
And sunbeams mixed together.
With golden pen and holy hand
Go, write the name OF mother.
In every humble tenants house,
In every cottage home,
In marble courts, in gilded halls
On every palace dome.
On mountains high, in valleys low,
In every land and clima,
On every throbbing human heart,~
That blessed name eushrine.
Take childhood's lights and manhood's
shades
Celestial canvas given
In beauty trace that name and face
And hang it up in heaven.
High over towering mountains,
Bevcmui the starry skies,
Write it on every glittering crown,
That's worn in Paradise.
Thence upward to the great white throne,
Midst music soft and sweet,
Thank Jesus for the precious name,
And write it at His feet.
