A BUSHEL OF CORN.

Some one has made the following
calculation of what is in bushel of
corn when distilled into whiskey. It
will be observed that the man who pro-
duces the corn gets less by far than any
one else The calculation relates to the
results in dollars and cents, and leayes
the harvest OF misery and suffering and
death and destruction to be imagined,
for it cannot be calculated. Here it is
"a bushel of corn makes four gal
Ions of whiskey, which retails tor SIG.
Out of this the government gets SO, the
railroads 81, the manufacturer 81, the
yender 81, the farmer forty cents and
the drinker the delirlum tremens"

MINORITYS SUBSTITUTE.


Following is the substitute by the
minority report on the financial plank
and the administration.
ITO the Democratic National Con-
vention:
"Sixteen delegates, constituting the
minority of the Committee on Resolu-
tions, find many declarations in the re-
port OF the majority to which they can
not give their assent. Some of these
are wholly unnecessary. Some are Ill
considered and ambiguously phrased,
while others are extreme and reYolu-
tionary of the well-recognized princi-
pies of the party.
"Ihe minority content themselves
with this general expression OF their
dissent, without going into a specific
statement OF these objectional features
of the report OF the majority. But,
upon the financial question, which
engages at this time the greatest share
OF pubic attention, the views of the
majority differ so fundamentally from
what the minority regard as vital Dem
ocratic doctrine as to demand distinct
statement OF what they hold to, as the
only just and true expression Of Dem
ocratic faith upon this important Issue,
as follows, which is offered as substl-
tute for the financial report OF the
majority:
eve declare our belief that the ex-
pertinent on the part of the United
States alone of free-silver coinage, and
change IN the existing standard Of
value independently of the action OF
other great nations, would not only I'M
peril our finances, but would retard or
entirely prevent the establishment of
international blmetallism, to which
the efforts of the government should
be steadily directed. 1t would place
this country at once upon silver ba-
sis, Impair contracts, disturb business,
diminish the purchasing power of the
wages Of labor, and inhict 1rreparabe
evils upon our nations commerce and
industry.
"Untll international cooperation
among the leading nations for the
coinage of silver can be secured, we
favor the rigid maintenance of the
existing gold standard, as essential to
the preservation of our national credit,
the redemption of our public pledges,
and the keeping inviolate of our coun-
try's honor. We insist that all our
paper currency shall be kept at a par
ity with gold. The Democratic party
is the party of hard money, and is OBJ
posed to legaI-tender paper money as a
part OF our permanent financial system
and we, therefore, favor the gradual
retirement and cancellation of all
United States notes and Treasury notes.
under such legislative provisions as
Will prevent undue contraction. We
demand that the national credit shall
be resolutely maintained at all times
and under all circumstances.
COMMENTATOR OF ADMINISTRATION.
"The minority also feel that the re-
port OF the majority is defective in
falling to make any recognition of the
honesty, courage. economy, and fidel-
lty OF the present Democratic admin
lstratlon, and they therefore offer the
following declaration as an amendment
to the majority report

my, courage, and fidelity OF the present

STORY OF NELs LARsEN's LIFE.
Lives in Filth and Dies in u Miserable
MnN.


BENNINGTON, Neb., Dec. 10.-(Special)
-Nels Larsen the bachelor who was re-
moved to the county hospital last evening,
and who died there early this morning is
the subject of much conversation here. This
man was often spoken of as a freak of
nature Nels, as he was called by every
one who knew him, was about 60 years of
age and had lived in the vicinity of Elk CITY
this county, for several years, coming to
Bennington about two years ago His native
country is Denmark and he has no relatives
in this country and very few friends. He
has for the past two years, or since he has
lived here, worked at the shoemakers trade
as supposed by most every one here, "salted
1t down. as he was never known to spend
any money to speak of. He bought one Loaf
OF bread each week and some soda crackers
Those who have kept watch of him estimate
that his cost of living would not exceed 80
cents per week and this was the extent OF
his expenses, as he never knew what a clean
shirt was, or, in fact. laundry OF any kind.
His filth and economical mode of living is
thought to be the direct cause of his death
and the only thing that throws a doubt on
this belief is that he lived as long as he
did. 1t is thought by those who have
watched his career closely that he has
money secreted some place, or possibly
buried along the banks of the Papio where
he was seen going every few days. He had
on one or two occasions, remarked to an
intimate friend that "he had more money
than some people thought he had" For this
and several other reasons it is thought he
mad considerable money, although it is prob
ably where his relatives nor administrator
