OMAHA EXPOSITION.
A Distinguished Gathering of Finan-
cial Students.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. Bone of the
most distinguished gatherings Of finan-
cial students that ever assembled
opened a three days session of the
monetary conference at the Nebraska
building, exposition grounds, today.
Hon. j. Sterling Morton presided to-
day. Horace White, of New York; Ed
ward Atkinson, Congressman Fowler,
of New Jersey; Editor p. H. Robinson,
of the Railway Age; Louis r. Enrich,
of Colorado Springs. former Senator
Carey, of Wyoming, and Governor
Leslie II. Shaw, of Iowa, are to take
part in the programme. Mr.. Atkinson
is not here, owing to illness, his paper
being read by Mr.. Morton. Messrs.
Warner, Towne, Bartins, Weaver, Rey-
nolds and other leaders of the silver
and paper money sides took part in the
joint debate today. Mr., Morton called
the convention to order and, without
any unusual formality beyond few
words of explanation and welcome, said
that these three questions demanded
solution by the conference:
Is II the fixed legal ratio enacted be-
tween the coming which governs the
relative values of the metals in bull
lion?
Is it the relative value of the metals
in bullion which governs the relative
value of the coming?
If no single and separate state can
maintain a fixed legal ratio between
the metals when coined in unlimited
quantities, can an international agree
ment among the principal mercantile
countries of the world do so?
He then read Mr. Atkinson's paper
which, among other things, said:
The free coinage of silver of full legal
tender is almost grotesque IN It's folly and
audacity, asking farmers in the great Mis-
slssippi valley, 50 per cent. of whom are
| free of any mortgage whatever and are
| thus the creditors of the world, to give

under an act of legal tender at one dol

ounce, or 16 to l. The force of folly could

STATE REVENUES EXPENDED.
What Is Done with the Money
Raised by Taxation.

Colonel Stone at Williams Grove.
While the people do not pay any of
the state taxes, / recognize that it is
their right to hold us accountable for
a proper distribution of the money
raised by taxations. What have we
done with the money that has been
paid in taxes principally by the cor
porations of the state"
About eleven million dollars is raised
annually from the sources which l
have named. What has been done
with it? In this I am proud Of the
record of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania, and every Republican,
yes, every Democrat, should be proud
of it when compared with the disburse-
ments OF other states. We have rea-
son to be proud of our record.
In the first place, of the eleven mil
lion dollars raised annually five and
half million is disbursed by the state
among the school districts Of the state
for the benefit of the common schools.
No other state disburses so much.
Even the great state of New York
appropriates for common schools much
less. One million dollars is paid out in
aid Of other educational purposes, nor
of it, making six and half million
dollars. Something over two million,
two hundred thousand dollars is ap-
propriated to the hospitals and other
worthy charitable institutions of the
state. leaving a little over two million
dollars which is expended in the gov
ernment of the state. Out of this sum
the state officials are paid, the judges
af % he o.,
preme and Superior courts, the county
superintendents, the maintenance of
the National guard, expenses in peni-
tentiaries and asylums, and also num-
erous other expenses and disburse-
ments which were formerly paid by
the counties. This includes expenses
under Republican legislation of re-
building bridges over streams of water
that have been declared to be high
ways.
The critic will look in vain for any
reason to complain of Republican leg
islation in Pennsylvania. 1t must be
observed that the disbursement of
state money to common schools. pay
ment of judges salaries, superintend-
ents' salaries, rebuilding bridges, etc,
relieves the counties of these burdens
In some counties the school tax is al
most nominal, and there is not a coun-
ty In the state, except Philadelphia,
that does not receive from the state
treasurer in the shape of salaries for
common schools, judges salaries, sup
erintendents' salaries and rebuilding
bridges much more than its people pay
into the state treasury outside of taxes
paid by corporations.

AT THE TOP OF THE LIST.
Pennsylvania Is the Best Governed
State in the Union,

Colonel w. A. Stone, at Pittsburg.
There is not a state in the Union
that can compare with Pennsylvania in
the laws that have been passed by Re-
publicans for the benefit of the state
and its people. AL! state taxes have
been taken from lands, trades, occupa- :
tons, professions and farm animals.
These taxes have been placed on cor
porations principally.
The principle which the Republican
party has pursued in taxation for state
purposes has been to relieve the lands.
occupations, trades. professions and
domestic animals from taxation. and
place the burden on the corporations
which receive franchises from the
state or money at interest which evil
dences surplus wealth, and capital en-
ployed in mercantile pursuits, on those
who receive licenses to sell liquors and
upon collateraal inheritances. 1t has
solved the problem and is today en-
joying the fruits of a victory in many
legislative battle with the corpora
tions Of the state wherein the people
won the victory and were relieved from
state taxation. This is a great tri,
umph for the Republican party, and
one of which all Republicans should be
justly proud.
A great tribute has been paid by the
highest authority, that of Professor
seligman, of Columbia college, who has
made study of the different tax sys.
TENS Of this and other countries. He
says in his latest publication: Penn.
sylvania is the only state in the Union
which has seriously grappled with the
problem of reaching the abilities OF
those that receive a revenue from
other elements besides real estate. The
great revenue laws of 1879, 1885 and 1SS!
have put her easily in the front rank
of our commonwealth"
These laws of 1879, 1885 and 1889 were
laws passed by Republican legislatures
and are Republican measures.

Lucillus Miller, who for long time re-
sided In this city believes he is carrying
in his left shoulder a silver thimble that
he swallowed forty years ago. He will
soon submit to an operation to have the
supposed thimble removed.
Forty years ago Miller was a very little
fellow. He was playing around his
mothers feet while she was doing some
sewing A knock was heard at the door,
Mrs. Miller answered it, and when she
returned her silver thimhle could not be

began to be troubled with a slight. swell

Hahn says Stahl followed him into the

he was being followed headed him into

movement as though he were almost to
draw a gun, and so he pulled his gun and
pointed it at Stahrs breast.

their stories, Chief Fletcher suspended
Hahn, pending an investigation of the Po-
