SMALL POTATOES.
THE NEBRASKA FREE SILVER PRO-
NUNCIAMENT0.
They Call it Bimetalism, But it Is the
Same Silver Monometalism Arbi-
trary at l6 to l.

OMAHA, Neb., July 3.-The Re-
publican Bimetallic league was
organized a year ago. AT meet
ing held here recently the follow
ing resolution was adopted and
signed by all members Of the
league who can be found:
"The Nebraska Bimetallic league
deems the time has come to make
the following declaration:
sits organization was found in
the hope that the republican party
would in the future as in the past
be true to the cause OF the people
upon living issues, especially upon
the demand for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the
ratio of l6 to /. But that hope has
become dissipated. In its national
council at st. Louis the party de.
clared for gold and the single
standard; that this nation dedi.
Gated in its birth to the highest
development Of the human race,
should be engaged in the business
of millionaires and paupefs, that
these classes should dominate the
masses and that the government
of the people, for the people and by
the people should perish from the
earth.
"We, as a league, therefore heart
lily endorse the stand taken by
Hon. Henry M, Teller and his as
sociates in their patriotic efforts to
prevent this party's betrayal OF
silver and announced their with
drawal from such convention when
il ceased to represent the party OF
Lincoln, Grant and Garfield.
"We are further persuaded thai
our duty is'clear. We are called
upon as men and citizens OF the re
public to resist this proposed
wrong. We therefore invite all re-
publicans to join with us in secur'
ing the united action Of persons
and parties who are in sympathy
with US to make an honest effort to
establish the financial policy Of
this government upon the true
principles of bimetalism as it ex'
existed, prior to 1873"
(Signed) ID. ID. GREGORY,
w. WILLIAMS, PRESIDENT.
Secretary.
The league is very small affair
in Nebraska.

THE ZOUAVB COMPANY.

General Mabry Says the State Can't
Equip Them.
A letter has been received by N.
Mackey, Jr., Of the newly or
ganized Zouave company, from
Adjutant General Mabry at Austin,
stating that zouave companies do
not come under the head of the
Texas Volunteer Guard and the
state could therefore not equip
them with arms. A meeting OF the
company will be held tonight,
when this matter will be taken up
and ways and means discussed for
procuring arms. Although the
boys are somewhat disappointed
at this letter, they say they are
not disheartened and will work
earnestly to form creditsble or
ganiZation.

TELLER Is WILLING.
COLORADO WILL NOT PRESENT HIS
NAME, THOUGH.
Conferences Held Daily by the Platform
Builders in Chicago-A PrOmi-
nent Financial Plank.

DENVER, Col, July 3.-Three Of
the Colorado delegates to the DEM
ocratic national convention have
started for Chicago. The other five
leave tonight. The five delegates
favor the nomination OF Bland and
as the unit rule will be observed
he will probably receive the eight
votes of Colorado on the fret bal
lot. Should Teller be presented,
Colorado's vote will 60 to him, but
the Colorado delegates will present
no candidate.
CHICAGO, July 3.-Notwithstand-
ing the convention is still four
days off, there are almost continu-
Gus conferences among those who
expect TO be called upon to make
the platform. Their plans all look
to preparing q document which,
while it will cover various other
questions of democratic faith, will
| give a place OF prominence to the
financial declaration.
1t is now expected the platform
will be a silver pronunciamento set
ting forth the free coinage doctrine
in the form of ringing address
which will appeal to the support
Of all silver advocates Of whatever
party. The gist Of the plank will,
however, be the unequivocal dec
laration for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio OF 10
to /, without waiting the action OF
any other nation.
The tariff plank Is really CIV
ing the silver majority more con-
Germ than the financial declaration.
They consider this very delicate
matter. The silver question Is
recognized by all as the paramount
issue, but the democracy has been
so persistent in its declarations on
the tariff and republicans made 10
so prominent in their platform
that they realize the impossibility
OF ignoring 1t. This they would
gladly do il they could, for this
one time, because Of the effect that
q declaration leaning too pro-
foundly toward free trade would
have upon the republican silver
men and populists whose votes
they hope to secure with a free
silver candidate.
The leaders feel that the flnan-
cisl question is one requiring a
declaration of principles and that
the tariff is the proper subject to
play upon. They will probably an
nounce adherence to the demo-
| cratic traditions on this subject,
though in very general terms, and
announce the belief, that with the
free mintage Of silver, the present
tariff will produce sufficient reve-
nue. for the needs Of the govern
ment.
There may be a declaration,
however, for a more equitable adj
justment than that contained in
the present law, with the hope Of
reconciling the wool and lumber
men of the west. The plank may
even contain an implied reconcile
ment to protection, in words indi-
eating that any tariff, even though
for revenue only, is protection to
labor

GUATEMALA UNEASY.
REVOLUTIONS NOT CONSIDERED
SERIOUS.
Americans Favor the Present Government
Which has introduced Needed
Reforms.

NEW YORK, July ga special
to the Herald from Guatamsls,
says the disturbance in Chiqui-
mals, Zacapama, department is be-
lieved to amount to little. The
government is acting vigorously
in subduing the rebels. The re-
port here is that the uprising took
place in Chiquimala, Jesus Parlo
being killed. There are a great
many wild rumors afloat as to the
extent of the revolution and it is
difficult to obtain at this time any
thing like reliable information.
Government officials asserts
that it is only slight outbreak
and will be easily quelled. A
large body Of troops have been
sent to the fronn
Zacapama, which In month or
two will be the terminus OF the
Guatemala Northern railway un-
til built to this city, and which Is
the base of supplies of several de-
partments is reported to be in the
hands of the revolutionists, and
it is also said they have captured
at this point 5000 stands OF arms,
but this Is doubted.
In this city everything is quiet
and it is difficult to say just what
the outcome will be. 1t is the I'M
unanimous wish of foreigners, es-
pecially American, sthat no serious
disturbance may take place and
that the present administration
with General Reina Barrios at the
head will continue, for he has in
Introduced many needed reforms,
building good roads, public build
ings, railroads, etc.

A Remarkable Island,

A rim of land i~nclosing u fresh water
lake in the middle of the Pacific Ocean
is a novelty in the way of islands.
There may not be more than one such
in the great ocean, and, at any rate,
that type of island is certainly rare.
This strange spot is Niuafou, which is
quite apart from other ocean lands.
1t lies midway between the FIJI and
Samoa groups, and is under the gov
eminent of the Tonga group, though it
is 200 miles from these islands,
1t has recently been visited by Lieut..
Somerville, of the British navy. Some
time or other a volcanic vent opened at
the bottom of the ocean, and the lava
that poured out of it piled higher and
higher until it finally overtopped the
sea. A great volcanic mountain had
been formed, and the part of it that
came into view above the waste of
waters was of course an island. AS
time went on this volcano was the scene
of one of those tremendous explosions
that sometimes tear mountains to
pieces. 1t was such a cataclysm that
blew off the upper 5000 feet of Kraka.
toa some years ago.
The explosion at Niuafou had a re-
markable result. The interior of the
crater was blown out to q considerable
depth, leaving only the narrow rim,
in this case a nearly perfect ring,
around the deep internal cavity. Such
is the island of today.
A thousand Tongans live in the vii
lagos that lie along the outer slope OIL
that crater wall. The drainage from
the inner slope has partly filled thu
cavity, forming a lake whose waters
though slightly alkaline, are d~rinkable
From the top of the crater rim on,
looks down upon the peaceful lax
within, with it's three little islands AM
the %curiously shaped peninsula %juttinl
out into it; and outside the rim is th
ever restless ocean.
