LETTER.

1&ss -.--.-,
From oqr Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1897.
Secretary Gage is about the only
member Of the administration who
would really like to see his recon,
mendations for cinching the hold Of
the single gold standard on this
,eountry, become laws. Mckinley
did not dare to endorse the reeom-
mcndations of his Secretary Of the
Treasury. and hs has no real desirc
for the financial legislation he half.
heartedly suggested. He knows
that his roundabout suggestion Of
getting rid of the grecnbacks by
turning them into gold certificates
gould not get through Congress,
even if only the republicans voted
upon it. He was afraid that the
Recommendations for amending the
National banking laws, so as to re-
duce taxation on National bank cur
Fency, to allow currency to be issued
TO the face value of the bonds de-
posted with the government, aud
to allow the establishment of Ma
tional banks with $25. 900 capital in
small places, might get through; so
be added proviso that he knew
would kill the whole-to make all
National bank notes redeemsble in
gold. The administration is simply
trying to bluff a portion of its own
party and the country. 1t doesn't
want any financial legislation: This
has already been made plain in the
House by the hegrab-game engineered
by Mr.. Dingley by which his COM
mittee-Ways and Means--will
take charge Of all financial bills and
smother them. Republicans have
also plainly indicated by their talk
that they had received intimations
from the administration that 20 f.
nancial legislation was wanted. If
public criticism Of its attitude makes
Il necessary to strengthen its bluff.
the administration will, through
Mr.. Dingley, fix up bill and jam
Il through the House. knowing
that the Senate would not act upon
il. OF course, the people Of this
country are fools enough not to
know the difference between this
sort of thing and real statesman
ship, and they will be SO sorry that
the administration isn't able to get
what It doesn't want-so sorry that
they'll elect . democratic Congress
next year.
The administration doesn't wish
the Nicaragua Canal question to be
acted upon by this Congress. and
when Mckinley said in his message
chat he would have something
further to say on the subject when
he submitted the report ofthe Com
4, mission which has just started for
Nicaragua to make a new survey
and estimate of cost, under an act
!, Of Congress, he was fully aware
that the commission was not likely
to make . report before the death
Of the Fifty.6fth Congress. In fact
It Is known that members Of the
commission were given q broad hint
before their departure that their re-
port was not expected before March
4. 1899.
One Nebraska republican-Mr.
Winfield s. Strawn, an Omaha law

Is seen at present Of their work, but
nearly every day something that
the Goldbugs are doing comes to
light. The leader of the Indianap-
oils convention, H. H. Hanna, has
sent out circulars to the bankers
and insurance men Of the country
asking them to urge their senators
and representatives 70 work for the
recommendations that will be sub
mitted to Qongress by the "None-
tary Copventioa. I" This stif.ap-
pointed convention will undoubted-
ly recommend the perpetuation o.
the gold standard, and if a bill en-
bodying their ideas could be passed
it would mean worse distress to the
country than it Is now enduring.

THERE Is a practice followed by
many of the farmers of this part oi
the country that tends to cut Of
their profits to an alarming extent.
and one that many Of them only
laugh At you when you mention it.
The practice Of leaving a piece Of
farming machinery In the field
where It was last used may be the
proper way to make It last and keep
It from rusting, In the eyes of some.
but the farmer who keeps his ma
chinery. sheltered II the one who
makes the most money. The time
and material necessary to erect a
good shed for the storing Of your
farm machinery Is Insignificant
when compared with the saving 1t
makes. Machinery that Is left ex.
posed to all kinds Of weather, soon
rusts and the wood parts rot, and
has to be replaced with new, when
with proper care 1t could be made
to last much longer aud the repair
bills incident to leaving 1t In the
field would not be necessary. Farm

Denver, June 20.-At 1890 o'clock
yesterday morning the first Christian
Endeavor train to start ncross the con-
tinent left New York City. Before
night number Of other trains all over
the country, all heavily loaded. pulled
out for the West. To-day nearly two
score of trains will be moving. Most
of them will pass through Colorado on
their way TO the great Christian En-
deavOr convention in San Francisco,
California, July 7th to 10Th.
The business is growing larger every
day. Estimates of from 5000 to 10000
made some weeks ago are out of date
now, for the number of people that
will pass through the state. most of
them stopping here, one, two or three
days, is now set at 15,000. Advices yes
terday received by passenger agents in
Denver Were that all the trains are
more crowded than was anticipated
and in many instances additional ears
had to be put on. Besides the business
that is strictly Christian Endeavor, all
the agents expect n large travel of
outside people that will take advantage
of the low rates.
How to take care of the Endeavor-
crs in Denver is another proposition.
For three days the town will be filed
with them. On Thursday there will be
within score or two of 5000 of them
here. Some will 20 to the mountains
for the day, but all will be here in the
evening. There will be big meeting
at the First Baptist Church that even
ing, to which all the Endeavorers of
Denver are invited to meet the visitors.
There will be n short program and then
reception In the church parlors. Re
freshments will be served and an or
chestra will play during the entire
evening.
As fast as the strangers arrive In
Denver they will be taken to the var
ious headquarters, where any baggage
they may have with them will be
checked and they will be entertained
In every way possible.
All freight business on the Clear
Creek line of the Denver & Gulf road

Washington, June 2S.-The Senate

source OF much controversy. As final

drifting into general debate on

while Mr.. Allen OF Nebraska supported
the duty. The new paragraph was
agreed to-30 to Ozone Democrat,

THE JUBILEE A SUCCESS.

ness of the Program.
London, June 26.-The Britons' colos-
sal pageant, one of the greatest the
world has ever SEEN has been complet-
ed without Il contreiemps to mar its
success. This has been an anxious
week for those in authority, but the
whole scheme for the celebration Of the
Queens jubilee was largely planned,
carefully carried out, and has been a
triumph for the management and an
object lesson in unity for the ,iosts of
guests. 1t Is an open secret that the
Prince of Wales was among the hard
est workers. Not Il single step of I'M
portance was taken without his ap-
proval. and much of the praiseworthy
work done Is directly due to his initia-
tive. A notable exception to this state
of affairs was the religious service out
side st. Paul's cathedral, which was
the Queens idea. When 1t was sus-
gcstci, 1t filed the officials with dis
may, and disaster was feared as re-
suit of the rush of sightseers into that
narrOw-necked part of London, but, the
courage and resource accomplished the
Queens wishes, and the task of manag-
ing the hosts, numbering a couple of
million people, within that exceedingly
limited space and amid scenes of eN-
traordinary excitement, was carried
out in marvellous manner, thanks to
the skill of the police and their strate-
gy in preventing the possibility OF
rushes, and also thanks to the admira-
bic demeanor of the crowds.
Unqualified and generous approval
of the festivities has been bestowed by
the press and people of all nations and
communities. The evident disposition
of the whole world to share in the ju
bilee and extend Ii has caused the live
liest satisfaction and added to the gen
eral rejoicing. The naval review was n
fitting termination of the weeks cere-
monies.
A pleasant feature of the week was
the Americans complete success. The
United States special embassy was cas-
lily the most prominent and the most
honored throughout the celebrations by
all. 1t Is almost needless to add that
Colonel John Hay, the United States
ambassador. is equally gratitied. Both
he and the rest of the regular embassy
have done all In their power to insure
Mr.. Reids success.
The feeling in the press is Indicated
by editorial of the Standard of Friday,
which said: at would be most un-
gracious omission TO forget to offer sim
cere thanks 10 all foreign countries
that have participated in the jubilee.
They have added materially to the
pleasure of the Queen and her people
by their nevcrto-be forgotten kindness.

437 licenses in force in the state. On
November !. 1896, there were 2G,593 IL
cnses in force. and 1t is expected that
there will be issued about $4,000 IL
