Tho Pioneer sets forth that these

ere9ate something like million dollars.
A simple computation shows that the

will net those thrifty gentlemen the
modest little sum Of 100000.
The Pioneer also states that the

in the Indian department., but some OF
the mixed blood Santee Sioux have OBJ
jected to this percentage feature Of the
transaction, and for the time being the
claims remain dormant. having been
blocked by the non-percent faction.
The senate (of which Robinson's law
partner, Senator Allen. is q member) is
understood to be ready to act, but the
house is not 30 ready. This firm, OF
which Judge Robinson is the attorney in
fact, is doing all in its power to place
him in position to pluck this big plum. v
1t must be conceded that Judge Rob-
inson, il elected, will be in much more
advantageous position to press this
claim, with voluptuous attorneys fees
attached. In view OF the fact that he
would also be paid 5000 year salary
by the government for collecting from
it, it must likewise be admitted that the
judge is preparing for himself very
soft snap. It explains very satisfactor-
lily why he resorted to still hunt and
trickery to overthrow Mr.. Maxwell, who

CINCINNATI, Sept. 97.-The Piccadilly
club OF this city, an organization OF
leading bQsiDGB zen, had on exhibition
ut their meeting 6st night the loving
cup which the executive committee has
provided to be presented to Rear Ad-
miral George Dewey. Taking advan-
tage of the return of the Sixth infantry
to Cincinnati, the club invited the OH
GERS Of that regiment to attend a guests
and the dinner was made q thorough
patriotic re5oicing over the glory Of the
army and the navy. The Piccadilly
club was in session in May when the
news Of Manila was received and it
then ordered u cup to be made. The
design adopted was by Mr.. Artus VAN
briggle Of this city. The base repre-
sents the ocean. out of which rises Nep-
tune bearing instead of his trident, =
six.inch shell. Above this, in strong
relief, Is Mars, then Victory with her
laurel wreath, and surmounting the
edge Of the cup rises Fame, bearing the
palm for Victory. The motto inscribed
is simply, dewey, Manila, May /,
Aug. Is, 1885," The cup is to be ac-
companied by letter of congratulation
signed by the membeJs Of the club.
Very little speech-making was in
dulged in. but Colonel Egbert Of the
Sixth infantry, said his regiment had re-
versed the military rule which prescribes
that an entrenched enemy must first be
preached BY artillery and then assaulted
BY infantry or suffer annihilation. The
Sixth and its companion regiments at
San Juan hill! assaulted without artillery
and drove the enemy. Captain Kenyon,
who had the honor being among the
first to plant our banner on San Juan
hill, said he had but two orders in that
battle from Colonel Egbert. The first
was to move forward. After he had
moved . long way forward, the second
order came. 1t also was to move for
ward. These words were now the motto
of the regiment.
Senator Foraker reused the widest
enthusiasm by q ringing speech, in
which he spoke Of the great glory of the
navy and Of the surprising achieve
ments of the army. He was warmly ap-
plauded when he said we were hereafter
TO have . larger army and an Increased
uavy. He made the assertion that if the
regular army had been kept up to the
strength of hundred thousand from the
close of the civil war till now the cost
would have been fully repaid by the
effective work it could have done in this
war.

delegation here for several days. BE
beings word of extreme distress among
the Cubans in and about Tampa. he
says about 5000 of them are anxio1s to
return to Cuba aud begin work, bat
they are destitute and unable to mako
the move.
Secretary Quesada receives similar
reports concerning the condition OF

Key West announces the arrival there

view to securing assistance. The dis
patch states that the army is literally
starving to death, that the pack mules
is no further meat from this direction
and that the people are wellnigh des-
perate.
The children and old people are said
to be dying by the dozens every day.
General Gomez appeals for aid and says
his men are desperate. The Spanish
are doing all they can to make the in
surgents' situation more terrible. 1t is
feared that serious results may arise
from this and the Cubans cannot be
blamed if they are forced to take the
necessaries Of life. This they can do by
capturing town, but the Cubans have
pledged themselves not to violate the
axmistice, and they, therefore, appeal to
the United States in order to avoid q

The money saved to the state by
patronizing Phil Armour's grease fac
tory is lost to the people OF Nebraska
interested in the manufacture Of real
butter.
Even the old gray haired veterans Of
the union at thepoldiers' home are con-
sidered unworthy to eat Nebraska butter,
the best, OF course, in the world, and
have been Supplied by the pop board Of
purchases and supplies with the manu-
factured dope, called "butterine," from
the Armour establishment at Kansas
City. "Down with the trusts!" is des-
tined to be as ludicrous war cry in the
mouth OF Q pop statesman as "a pass is
. bribe!" don't you know.
Even the spotted COW called Epeck''
has been boycotted by the reformers,
and buttsrine, bought OF Phil Armour,
has displaced dairy butter in the state
institutions. In the interests OF 'ecOno-
sny" ovO., tho blind. iusuns aud helpless
wards of Nebraska must eat butterine in
place Of butter.
The Nebraska dairyman's association
and the managers and patrons of the
local creameries of Nebraska will prob
ably notice that the market for good
dairy butter has not been enhanced by
the purchase of substitutes from the
packing houses. Butterine may be good
but none will deny that good dairy hut
ter is better.
The motto on the official letter heads
used by Uncle Jake Wolfe reads az fol-
lows: "Stand up for the children of Ne
braska." And then the dear little fel-
lows at the state industrial schools are
fed on measly butterine because it can
be purchased OF Plutocrat Armour for
10 cents q pound. And it all comes
from Kansas City. Stand up for Ne
braska.
1t appears that the state house gang
which has printed notices on it's official
stationery about standing up for Ne
braska" or standing up for the children
Of Nebraska" have been economizing
during the past year or two by buying
Kansas City packing house ''butterine''
for the children OF the blind institute
and Of the feeble minded institute at 10
cents pound, besides feeding the adults
at the insane hospitals and asylums and
other public institutions on the same
sort of dope.
1t is ''butterine for Nebraska that
does the standing up for the board of
purchase and supplies. The farmers of
Nebraska will be pleased to find that the
pop government prefers butterine from
the Armour trust to the product of the
Nebraska COW for use in the state insti-
tutions.
The pop administration appears to
take to oleomargarine as a duck does to
water 80 long as it isn't obliged to eat
packing house butter itself. But it is
good enough for the blind. deaf and
feeble minded children of their subjects.
and comes dog cheap. Great is economy
and reform.
Stand up for Nebraska, but don't
buy Nebraska butter for public use in
Nebraska because it is too COSTLY" is
the amendment motto OF the pop ad-
ministration. Go to Kansas City and
contract for packing house grease at 10
cents. 1t is plenty good enough for the
children and crazy folk.

was again announced that the command

General Miles regards 1t Is as especially
important in the approaching campaign
that the armies of invasion and Occupa-
tiOn Of Cuba be fully equipped with sup
plies and the most improved machinery
for the construction of roads and rail-
roads, and also with experts In the use
o. such machinery and construction.
General Roy Stone, director of the road
inquiry bureau of the agricultural de-
partment. offered his services. and Cen
eral Miles has recommended that they be
accepted. The agricultural department
owns road making machinery with which
II has been experimenting, and this out
fit has been placed at the disposal of the
war department.
The department has made q great
inany changes in the original program
for the concentration Of troops Many
bodies Of volunteers that were originally
slated for one of the great concentration
camps have found themselves under or
ders to proceed direct to southern points.
Soon volunteers from the east and mid

and the gulf. while from the west the
cars will be carrying troops to San Fran

a strong socialist and Republican leaven
has long been working. He says Be
side many other proofs Of this state
ment, 1t will suffice to say that the riot
ing is confined to the richest districts in
the country. Another strong political

well-known desire of the vatican and the

thereby to overthrow the house of Savoy
in favor of a republic which might pave
the way to restoration of the temporal
power of the pope"
