Washington, d. c., Jan. 29.-The de-
termination was reached by leaders in
the House of Representatives that the
Teller resolution for the payment of
bonds in silver, passed by the Scnatc
last night, should DE disposed Of by
the House on Monday. in order that
The attitude of that branch of Con-
greSs might be placed before the coun-
Try Immediately. This conclusion was
reached after numerous conferences be-
tween Speaker Reed, Chairman Ding
ley. of the Ways and Means Commit
lee; Messrs. LalZcll and Henderson, OF
the Rules Committee. and other in
fluental members Of the House. Late
in the day the resolution, which had
come over from the Senate, was re-
iefred by the Speaker to the Way6
ana Means Committee, and Chairman
pingley at once gave notice OF 4 spc-
cla meeting of the committee at 1880
Monday morning AT the same time
he notified Democratic nlcmhers OF the
committee what mis- general purpose
was, substantially aE follows:
The bill will be considered by tho
committee Monday and an adverse re-
port made on IL; No amendment or
changc IN the phrascology will be
made, hut the adverse report will be
on the resolution as it stands. This
viii lie submitted to the House when
1t convenes Monday ana plans made
TO dispose of the matter before the
days session closes. AS to the pro
cedure on the floor. Mr.. Dinglcy made
no prediction, beyond saying that it
was proposed TO dispose OF the subject
on Monday This Will doubtless re-
duire special rule as to the debate.
y basis for such IL rule was presented
to-day by Mr.. DalZell. n member of
the Rules Committee, in the form of
resolution providing that tie sub
ject be considered Immediately after
the report of the ways and Means
Committee. The committee will prOba-
bly, be ready TO report by II o'clock,
so that under the DalHel resolution
| the debate would begin shortly after
noon. II is probable that before the
House assemblies the Dalzcll resoIu-
ton will he so shaped as Ia fix the
hours Of debate and set a time for a
vote.
The determination to bring the sub
ject to an immediate issue gave gene
raj satisfaction among the ma jority OF
members. Some of them had desired
to put aside all other business to-day
and vote down the Teller resolution be-
fore this week closed.

THE JAPANESE IN FoRMosA

" ipiti ING view York Post. y ..5"H
According to a letter published in
the London Times, the Japanese are
much exercised over the comparative
failure OF their admlnistUa ton in
forihosa, and are setting vigorously
10 work to remedy existing abuses.
lhcy made the mistake in the first
place OF sending inferior men to oc-
cTpy executive positions. and many
OF these have been removed for in
competency orFpunished for peculation.
Inc only records of modern Formosan
Mstory are to be found In the Span-
Ah mission at Takow, and these tell
u tale OF constant disorder and blood

LOU Chinese soldiers marched against

without gaining an inch OF ground.
me following year 400 Chinese SOL
ulers and n general were killed And
thus 1t seems to have been always.
me japanese now recognize the fact
mat the present situation calls Tor the
highest order of executive ability. They.
have to deal not only with the ma
tiVes, but with a host OF worthless
and incendiary Chinese, constantly

mainland. To remedy this evil they
have followed the example Of the
United States in dealing with the
Cclestials. Cinnamon are forbidden to
land anywhere in the Island except at
KILLING, Anping. Tamsui and Takow,
and not even at those places unless
they can furnish proofs of legitimate
occupation. But the crafty Chinaman,
as might be expected, finds q way to
effect an entry and recruit the ranks,
of the insurgents. Now the local au-
thorities have adopted the vigorous
course of deporting any Chinese found
to have entered the island at mn tlln-,
authorized port and without fixed
means of livelihood. No fewer than

Attention of our readers is called to
an advertisement for the DR.. A. H.
Keller Chemical Co. of Sioux Falls, S. d.,
which appears in toda,'s paper. This
is a stock company organized by DR..
A. H. Keller, of Sioux Falls, and num-
Der of prominent capitalists of the east.
The object of the company is to manu-
facture and push the sale of DR. Keller's
famous medicine, Sylvan-Ozone, which
has already won great name for itself
as an efficacous remedy for consumption
and all nose, throat and lung diseases.
DR.. Keller has enlarged his quarters
and made many improvements in his
laboratory, to meet the requirements
of the company's rapidly increasing
business, and Sylvan-Ozone is now
manufactured on a large scale. The
best feature of this new remedy is that
patients can use it successfully at home.
The plan of home treatment. published

method of using SylvanO Ozone, togeth-
er with many testimonials from those
who have been cured by its use, will be

Dear Parents: received your letter
dated Aug. 8, and was very glad to
hear from you. It found me we'll ex-
cept one side Of my face which was
swollen pretty badly, but is now better.
I had not slept any for three nights. I
don't like the Islands at all. There ID
lots of sickness here, about $500 being
sick now, and one man by the name Of
Roy Stover, sergeant major, died to-
day. got the medicine you sent and
will take all You send, for the doctors
here are worse than none at all. They
give the same medicine for all diseases
cut your. foot, it is tied up and a box
of pills goes with it.
This is q rich place, there is lots of
gold here, but the natives don't know
anything about mining. Last Sunday
one of the boys went out with a dish
pan, got it full of sand, washed it out
and got table spoonful of gold. So
you see there is rich stuff here.
Tell Poole and Burrell I will write
to them and thank them for their best
wishes, and also Mrs Munger. Tell
Maggie to write to me, it does me 80
much good to get letters from home,
and do send me the papers. Kiss my
dear little sister Grace and Harry for
me and love to you all. Wrltr soon.

It is to be hoped the railroad manag-

It is to be hoped the railroad manag-
ers of Nebraska will persist in their
announced determination to no longer
maintain legislative lobby, and that
their good example will spread as far
as railroads run. The lobby is an
expensive and mischivous affair. It
stands between the railroads and the
people reaching such fair understand
ing as would be for the interests of
both. 1t must do so, for with such an
understanding its occupation would be
gone. The breath of it's life is the sus
picion it engenders. Its ally is the
army of political demagogues who find
In its presence occasion to alarm the
people and to play into the hands of
the lobby. The lobbyist and the dem
agogne are thus the complement of
each other, the one furnishing the
opportunity for the other. One exploits
the corporation, the other the people.
In the end the cost of both comes from
the patrons of the roads. who must pay
the expense of their operation even if
the management is not wise and it
certainly is not wise SO long as the oper-
alton is burdened with the cost Of q
lobby which is neither useful nor orna-
mental. The cost of these legislative
corrupters, if employed to cheaper
transportation, would go a long way to-
ward smoothing the friction existing be-
tween the roads and their customers.
The people are not cranks nor railroad
managers robbers. Their interests are
interdependent, as are those of all
varied branches of business. These facts
once Observation-Disclosures of opinion
arising from different viewpoints could
be settled reasonably and justly. They
can not afford to quarrel. Corruption
in the legislative bodies is apt to plague
the corporations as the people. Nothing
would more conduce to proper under
standing between the corporations and
their patrons than the mastering
out of the suspicion breeding lobby.
The demagogues would soon follow it
into private life and the relation be-
tween railroads and people would ad-
just themselves on a fair basis. The
railroads have the best chance to in
augurate the reform.-Sioux City
