TRACK LAYING.
The Omaha Fill Near the New Depot
is CompI eted

The long and tedious work of filling
in the levee around the new Omaha
depot and north of the bridge has at
last been completed and the sand has
reached east to the flag stakes. The
filling is completed southwark as far
as Cummings addition, but a great
deal remains to be done, where the
round house and side tracks will be
laid. The sand makes an excellent
filling material, for the rain does not
settle it, and the grounds will always
be dry. A macadam surface will be
put on.
The round house will be a frame
building and contain four stalls.
The work of laying the permanent
through track is progressing steadily.
The track is being laid from the
north, and this morning was down as
far as Rock street. By tonight it is
expected that it will be laid to the
rear of the big mill. 1t will be push
ed on as fast as possible.

branches, or we have no liberty.
When some people get mad at the
Supreme court because it makes mis-
takes, they want to abolish the life
terms of it's members, and have them
appointed for such periods as they
agree with these people. The Su-
preme court would then become a
mere political annex to the party in
power. 1t is more important that
the country have free and impartial
court than that it be pleased with
any one decision. II the decision was
wrong, it will be reversed later, but
it would be hard to get rid of a cor
rupt government which was backed
by corrupt court. Kansas put a
Populist judge in who didn't know
law, and the result was that there
was no justice in Kansas. We don't
want the nation to be in position to
be placed in the same fix.
AS soon as we have Supreme court
that will construe the constitution to
suit the aims and purposes of any one
political party we will have no con-
stitutiOn that is worth anything. 1t
is dangerous to inculcate in the grow
ing children that court can change
the constitution, as they would be led
to think that established institu-
tions do not mean anything aud can
be changed by people who think, dur
ing the heat of campaign, that They
want change.
President Cleveland represented
the sovereignty of the United States,
and if he didn't have the right to put
down the riot in Chicago, he doesn't
have right to put down a rebellion,
for riot is an incipient re-
billion just as a pup grows
to be dog. In this we recog-
nlze the old doctrine of state rights.

SATURDAYS SPEECH.
A Rare Opportunity to See and Hear
Historic Generals.

The school children and students of
this city, of all the institutions of
learning, should not miss the oppor-
tunity to see and hear the great gen.
erals of the Union army Saturday at
1875 a. M, at the Omaha depot, This
will be an opportunity that will never
recur, when personages prominent in
history will stand face to face before
those who are studying about them.
Chairman Andrews, of the Repub-
lican county committee, has received
the following letter:
ST. PAUL, Sept, %, 1896.
j. w. ANDREWS,
MankatO,
MINI.
DEAR SIR:-I have wired you that
a party of Sound Money veterans will
pass through your town on Saturday
and make short stop there.
Our late war has produced no drawer
or better men than these composing
this party. They have taken the field
again in another struggle, scarcely
less important and portentious than
the one in which they won their spurs.
Democrats and Republicans, they
have again laid aside party feeling
and are making another fight for
honor and right.
The old soldiers in your neighbor-
hood will never have another such OPP
portunity as will now be offered of
meeting and greeting their old COM
rades and commanders. Nor will your
entire community during this cam
paign be honored by the presence of
so many, who, having gained dis
tinction in one grand cause, are ad-
ding oft in another.
Let these men feel when they reach
your town that they are not in the
enemy's country, but among loyal
Americans, honest men, friends of
good government, and fighters for
sound money.
Give them royal welcome.
Sincerely yours,
TAMs BIXBY.

If Cleveland couldn't run the mails
into Chicago, he couldn't run them to
Mankato. 1t wouldn't hurt the peo-
pie if they went without their mail
for time, perhaps, but the principle
involved is an important one. Bryan
stands for the old exploded theory of
state rights. He and those like him
are reasonable or else they are liars.
The advancement of the state rights
doctrine this year is making our child
rem familiar with it. We may some
time have president who will not
put down riots. If Bryan is consist
emit, he would not put down riots, if
elected.
The business of the club was then
taken up, and it was left with the ex-
ecutive committee to order 500 more
campaign buttons, as the first 1880
are exhausted.
S. w. Burgess called attention to
the coming of the Alger combination
Saturday, and said that these were
the men of whom the school boys and
girls read in history. The boys of to-
day don't know enough of history.
They can't see in the plank in the
Chicago platform the same principle
that South Carolina worked for from
the time of Jackson on to the war.
Very few people away from the great
cities have ever seen three major gen.
erals of the army together, and very
few may ever see such a gathering
again. The school children should
attend Saturdays meeting.

Congressman rlcCieary Addresses a
Mapleton Audience.

Congressman McCleary addressed
gathering of people at Mapleton last
night that filed the opera house, seats
and aisles. The band was out, the
Mapleton Quintette club sang several
campaign songs, and enthusiasm was
unbottled in large quantities.
Hon. G. G.. Spaulding presided at
the meeting, and Congressman Nc
Cleary gave one of those unanswerable
addresses which have made him ia
nous. He spoke for over three hours,
and not person left the room, so well
did he hold their attention.
Over hundred persons signed the
list for club, and Mckinley Sound
Money club will be organized in a
short time. And this in Mapleton,

ATTORNEY YOUNG SPEAKS.
Defends the Supreme Court from its
States Rights Enemies.

The regular meeting of the McKin-
ley Sound Money club, held last night,
was an interesting one. Attorneys
Young and Rutan and others answer
ed TONNES points in a convincing
manner, showing how easily that ad
dress can be picked to pieces. Mr..
Young also answered Judge Andrews
arguments.
L. A. Under stated that in 1873
there was practically no gold or sill
yer in circulation in the United
States, as there was cheaper medi-
UNI in circulation which had driven it
out, paper money. Mr.. Under came
to America in 1872, and got his money
changed to American gold in Europe
before crossing the Atlantic, but for
long time after coming to America
saw no gold or silver money
Mr.. Young said that the real ques-
tion was how to get money, not how
to manufacture it. He did not think
the money question the most vital
one now before the people. There is
in the Chicago platform more dan
gerous plank than that regarding sill
yer. This government was organized
after ten centuries Of experience in
England, and we are now governed
more than half by English common
law. Minnesota is nominally code
state but is really common law
state. In all governments not tyran-
nical there are three branches, the
legislative, the executive and the
judicial. A ltyrannical government
makes and executes it's laws in one
department. We must have the judi
ciary Independent of the other

HAVANA, Dec. 2S.--Late this afternoon
it was announced that the main body Of
the insurgents had passed through Anna
rlllas, on the border of Matanzas and
Santa Clara. and according to the last
adyices from The front other portions OF
the insurgent army were across the Ma
tanzas border in the province OF Santa
Clara.
They are said to have burned the rail-
road stations at Conteras anC La Cunt
las. Hundreds of families homeless and
penuiless, continue to arrive at the city
of Matanzas from various parts along
the lines of march recently taken by the
insurgents during their incurslons into
the province of Matanzas.
1t is reported here that Gen. Gomez
and Gen. Maceo, at the head OF the In
surgente. are moving rapidly il the di-
rection of the town of Cienfuegos, in the
southern part Of the province of Santa
Clara, and it is feared by Spanish officers
that the Cubans hope to bring about the
capture of Cieutuegos, thus giving the
insurgents sea port city.
