refused to let the matter be presented
to the class: thus preferring that
wrong impression of Il historical fact
should be planted in the minds of Il
hundred pupils rather than to admit
that there were some things in his
tory which he did not know But
this is irrelevant more than to show
what sort of Il man the aSpirant to
the head of the educational system of
our state is.
In his present campaign speech he
begins where most boy orators COM
mence-with Rome. but just the rela-
ton between the address of SpartacuS.

boys and girls of Kansas. was not
made plain: neither was the war-like
accOutrementS of Caesar and his army
shown to have any edge over genu-
inc Kansas rough and tumble state
Oratorical contest: nor does he show
that Caesars head on a silver coin at
five to one bears any relation to the
goddess OF liberty on an American sill
yer dollar coined at 10 to 1.
He tells the old story about Lincoln
having once said that he wished every
national banker could be shot. but
fails to tell that for more than ten
years there has been a standing re-
ward of one thousand dollars for any
proof that Lincoln penned or said Il
word or syllable in public or private
that could possibly be construed to
mean anything like such a sentiment.
Lincoln never said it, and Stryker
ought to let up on such silly. unfound-
ed assertions.
He also says that the circulating
medium at the close of the war was
about billion dollars. and has been
contracted until it is now only sixteen
hundred millions. We are not much
on mathematics but we do think we
know that sixteen hundred millions
is one billion six hundred millions
and that is great deal more than one
billion. As a matter of fact the
actual circulation at the close of the
war (1S66) was seven hundred and fif-
ty-three millions but little error of,
two hundred and fOrty-Seven millions
is hardly worth calling populists at
tention to. He also says that of the
money now in circulation much of it
is in the banks as reserve; well. bless
you old ignoramuS, were there not
banks at the close of the war and did
not they keep reserve then aS now?
He also garbles an extract from
speech made by James G. Blaine
fails to inform his hearers that
Blaine's argument was in favor of
coinage at the commercial ratio
(which at the time the speech WAS
delivered was about IS to i and not
at fixed and arbitrary ratio such as
the populiSts now demand. Blaine
never advocated such measures.
He also quotes from the New York
Sun aan extract advising everybody
desiring safe and non-depreciating
investment to buy real estate, but
fails to tell what would become of the
party who got the purchase price in
money, if money depreciates.
Verify, verify, STRIKERS stump
speech is the SofteSt. SuppieSt stuff we
have ever heard from man seeking

A CLOUDBURST
Floods the Loup Valley, Doing Consider
able Damage.

Floods the Loup Valley, Doing Consider
able Damage.
COLUMBUS, Neb., June S.-Saturday
night was one of terror to residents of
the lowlands in this city. The cloud.
burst in the Loup valley the night pre-
vious made the usually sluggish Loup
river raging torrent, and to this vol
ume of water was added the heavy rain
of Saturday night. All the low lying
part of the town was flooded to
depth of from three to six feet. The
danger point was not reached until
nearly midnight, when occupants of
houses were forced to flee to higher
ground. The situation was but little
improved Sunday, but with no more
rain it is thought the water will soon re-
cede.
The other towns in the Loup valley
are in even worse condition. AT Full
lerton, northeast of here, the depot is
surrounded by water nearly to the
depth of five feet and the water runs
through the building while the opera
tor works his key. The Union Pacific
is under water and trains are laid up
here. Much of the track has been
washed out further west The Platte
river is beginning to rise and there
are fears of floods in the Platte bot
toms further east, one of the richest
farming districts in the state. Since
seven o'clock Saturday night the Loup
river rose five feet. Much live stock
was drowned south and west of here,
but there are but two fatalities to hui
man life thus far. The rainfall over
the district was unprecedented, extend
ing as far northwest as Chadron.

ADJOURNMENT.
Unless All Signs Fail Congress
Will Adjourn This Week.
Senate Business Depends Upon the
Headway Made With Reports.
Several Appropriation Bills Are to BE
Disposed Of-The New Deficiency BIZ
VIII BE Rushed Through the Sem
ate With All Possible Speed.

WASHINGTON, June Sunless all
signs fail, congress will adjourn this
week and those in touch with the bust
ness of both houses appear to agree
that that result may be secured by
Wednesday. Still, conditions are such
that a hitch might occur at any mo-
ment which would protract the session
for another week. This, however,
while possible contingency, is not ex-
pected
The business of the senate depends
entirely upon the headway made with
conference reports. Several of the ap-
preparation bills are to be disposed of,
as follows:
Indian bill, upon which the house re-
fused to act favorably on the confer
ence agreed to in the senate; the post
Office bill, the report on which was
agreed to in the house Saturday and
will be accepted by the senate
Monday; the naval bill, which
will doubtless be disposed of
speedily Monday morning, as the con-
feres have already formulated COM
promise which they believe will be ac-
ceptable, to both houses; the sundry
civil bill, upon which the house and
senate seemed to be deadlocked over
the appropriations for the public build,
ings inserted by the senate; and the
district bill, numerous items of which
are still in dispute. 1t is confidently
expected, however, that all of these
will be out of the way within the next
As hours.
The new deficiency bill which passed
the house Saturday will be rushed
through the senate Monday with all
possible speed, it being the intention
of the committee to move to lay on the
table any amendments that may be of
fered. so that the bill will pass as it
comes from the house. This motion tc
lay on the table is the only method the
senate has. under the rules, to cut all
debate and it will be appealed to liber'
ally when this measure comes up.
The immigration bill is the unfn'
ished business and Mr.. Lodge will call
it up Monday for consideration il an
opening presents itself. Mr.. Hill, who
is in charge of the contempt of court
bill, piece of legislation grow
ing out OF the Debs case, is alsc
anxious for consideration and may
lock horns with Mr.. Lodge foi
the right of way. Mr.. Gear will
seek to fix a day during the next session
when the Pacific railroad refunding
acts shall be taken up. In this he may
succeed as both friends and opponents
believe that this subject should be set
tied one way or the other. All of thes'
and other matters that may come
before the senate will tend t.
make the next few days eX
ceedingly busy ones, and if Mr.
Allen, chairman of the committee o,
appropriations, carries out his vicious
ly expressed intention of not reporting
the adjournment resolution until al
the appropriation bills have gone t.
the president, there may be ample TIM
to discuss several things upon whicl
senators desire to speak. The cours
of business is, therefore, uncertain ant
the forecast is largely conjectural.
