The reports of loan companies doing bus
mess in Nebraska show that during the six
months which ended with June SIS, 900, 900 of
mortgages was paid off, chiefly on farms.
The agents Of these companies report that
they experience great difficulty in placing
loans on anything like favorable terms. The
register of deeds in the county in which
Omaha is located in his report shows that
the mortgages released aggregate a third
more than those filed for record. These are
unwelcome facts for the calamityite.

The passage in the Senate, on Wednesday,
between Senator White, Of California, and
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, recalls story
which is not creditable to the Senate The
Southern Pacific Railway and Senator
Jones' of Nevada, insist that the harbor
which the government proposes to con-
struct on the coast of California shall be
at a point favorable to that corporation and
where Senator Jones is reported to own a
considerable tract of land Both senators
and all the representatives of California
favor the breakwater at San Pedro. Never
theless, Senator Jones was able to carry his
point during the last Congress in the Sen
ate, but it was defeated in conference in
the House. OF course, Mr.. Stewart, of Ne
vada, fights with Mr.. JONES' and, as Sen
ator White said, for the Pacific Railway
Company, against the wishes of the people
of California. This time it seems that Sen
ator Stewart was defeated.

1T Is July.

When the scarlet cardinal tells
Her dreams to the dragon fly,
And the lazy breeze makes a nest in the trees
And murmurs lullaby,
It is July.
When the tangled cobweb pulls
The cornfower's cap awry,
And the lilies tall lean over the wall
To bow to the butterfly,
1t is July.
When the heat like a mist veil floats.
And peoples fame in the rye,
And the silver note in the streamlet's throat
Has softened almost to a sigh,
II is July.
when the hours are still that time
Forgets them, and lets them lie
Meath the metals pink TIL the night stars wink
AT the sunset in the sky,

when each finger-pos by the way
Saws that Slumbertown is nigh.
Wren the grass is tall and the roses fall,
And nobody wonders why,

PLANS OUTLINED
Democratic Members Of the Finance
Committee of the Senate Will Not
Submit to Tariff bill Substitute,
but viii Offer Amendments.

Washington, May 15.-The Demo-
cratic members of the Senate Commit
tee on Finance were in consultation for
tTe hours to-day on the tariff bill.
They decided not to offer a substitute
for the Finance Committee bill, but TO
propose amendments. which, while
they will reduce the rates, would, if
added to the rates of the Wilson law,
produce sufficient revenue to meet the
demands of the government. They re-
gard the committees bill as a revenue
producer and calculate that even with
out the proposed beer tax and tea duty
it would bring a surplus into the treas
ury. On the other hand, they regard
the House bill as nearly prohibitive
on many of the schedules and think
that on this account would be deficient
in the production of revenue. The
Democratic members are especially
critical on the sugar, glass and wool
schedules and expect to offer amend
ments on all of them. None Of the
amendments have been formulated.
