sCHEMING FOR COLORED VOTE
state House Makes an Intellectual At
tempt TO Cnnture Ii.

LINCOLN, Oct. 16.-(Special Telegram)-
The city is laughing tonight over the failure
of an attempt made by The state house peo-
pie to capture the colored vote.
They had arranged for debate between
Haynes and Johnson, two local colored ora
tCIs, for and against the policy of the ad-
mnistration To prevent interference or to
provide that the crowd would not get too
large the conspirators caused the news to
be published this afternoon that none but
colored people should be admitted to the
hall. Then the state house people slipped in,
expecting to run the performance and hood
wink the colored people. AS it turned out
the only administration people in the
house were Johnson the orator and O. w.
Palm, o. C. Weesner, w. d. Oldham, Jani-
tor Wamner, Secretary Porter, Tom Allen
and Robert Wheeler, the latter a fusion
candidate. They occupied front seats and
applauded so loud and often that they in
terfered with the speaking and gave the
scheme away to the intelligent colored peo-
pie
No vote was taken on the debate, but it
was failure so far as it was intended to
create an anti administration sentiment.

MCOOK, Neb., Oct. 16.-(Special Tele-

fed a large audience in the Menard opera
house this evening. The meeting attracted
people from all over Red Willow county and
the utmost enthusiasm prevailed The

couragement of his hearers throughout his
two hours speech, which for fair and full
expression of fact in convincing and elo-
quent language has not been heard in this
city in many a day. The chaplain's plea for
the soldier was scarcely less eloquent and
port of the administration The wisdom OF
the patriotic statesman, william Mckinley,
associated with that of his advisers, he
claimed has brought the country through a
war, the marvel of the age, and has opened
up to the American people opportunities be-
yond the power of men to picture. He con-
cluded with an appeal for support of the ad-

CAMPAIGN OPENS AT HARRINGTON.
Prominent Democrat Gives His Rcn-
sons for Supporting Judge Reese.


HARRINGTON, Neb.. Oct. 16.-(SpecialO
"A large and enthusiastic rally opened the
campaign here Saturday night. Hon. NJ. G,
Whitmore of Lincoln, who spoke first, pre-
faced his remarks by stating that he was a
democrat and was supporting Reese not
because he was a republican, but because
he believed him to be good citizen and a
man who would make good judge. He
emphasized the idea that reform platforms
and reform resolutions were useless and in
effective in themselves unless the men
elected upon them and pledged to carry out
those promises keep faith with the public
and do that which the platform of their
party indicated they would do. The record
of Governor Holcomb was then discussed
and his many Inconsistencies as reformer
were clearly and effectively brought to the
attention of the audience, thereby showing
that inasmuch as Governor Holcomb had
not been consistent to the declarations made
by him prior to his election and as he had
once abused public confidence he would be
an unsafe man to again entrust with the
responsibilities of high judicial position.
The speaker also emphasized the impor-
tance OF the office of supreme court judge
and took the position that in the selection
Of a man for this high office party expedi-
ency was not so much to be considered as
the necessity of getting man of honesty
and integrity.
Hon. J. ]. Mccarthy of Ponca followed
with an excellent address which was re-
ceived with tremendous applause. Music
was furnished by the Coleridge cornet band.

Pictorial Postcard Craze.

Some idea of the pictorial postcard
craze in Germany is given by the fig
ures just published by our consul at
Frankfort, says the London Globe.
About $4,000 workmen are employed
in producing these postal souvenirs,
and 1t is estimated that every day
about 100 new designs are published.
Allowing for each card an issue of
1000 only-and this is a modest esti-
mate-it means total of 100000 per
day, or something like 30,000.000 per
annum. Since the introduction of the
souvenir card the number of postcards
dispatched in Germany has increased
by 100000 The latest cards are a
great improvement on the earlier ones,
and some bear etchings by artists of
repute.

NJ lU.bAG sists to Gun 4 "f Tobacco &c ii Habit


The wonderful advance made in the
science of farming during the last few
years is one of the best examples of
American progressiveness. A little
incident recounted by the Ashtabula
lOhio) Sentinel is characteristic. One
evening, a short time ago, a society in
Jefferson needed a gallon of cream.
The committee called up by telephone
the proprietors of a milk farm two
miles north Of the town, and asked If
they could furnish it. The reply was
that they could as soon as milking was
done. In thirty minutes from the time
the call was made, the cream was de-
livered. The milk had been drawn
from the COW, put into a separator, the
cream extracted and sent to town by a
man on bicycle. A few years ago the
committee would have had to send a
boy in the afternoon, yesterdays
milk" would have had to be SKINNED,
and il the boy had not treed too many
chipmunks on the way, he might have
got back in time for the festival.

Saved Through Chess,

In 1896 Mohammed Balba usurped
the crown of Granada in spite of the
superior claims of his elder brother
Jussef. He was very unsuccessful in
his conduct of the war against the
Christians and was at length assassi-
mated by poison absorbed throtghfhis
skin from shirt. He entertained a
desperate dislike to the brother whom
he had injured, and when he knew
that his own fate was sealed he sent
an order to the governor of the prison
in which Jussef was confined that he
should be executed Immediately. When
the order arrived Jussef was playing
chess with the chaplain of the prison.
With great difficulty Jussef obtained a
respite from the governor permitting
him to finish the game. Before it was
ended, however, news came that the
usurper had died of the poison. This
Cancelled the order of execution and
Jussef, instead Of going to the scaf-
fold, mounted the throne.

The Way of Wisdom.

Those who are familiar with the lit
erature and history of the world have
learned that some things have been
settled for all time by conclusive ex-
periments. In religion, in politics,
in social life, in everything to which
man has given his attention, hopeless
essays have been made repeatedly by
the unlearned and discontented to
better their condition. They who
are well instructed often at a glance
can see how hopeless is some we'll
meant struggle. But they who have
no knowledge of the experience of the
past, reaching beyond the memory of
a generation, rel ect the counsel of the
wise, and suffer needless loss. The
student, noting some new outbreak of
this hopeless kind, knows that, if he
goes back to the time when the fathers
of the present generation were young,
he will find the same phenomenon.
To prevent this waste of energy, more
knowledge is needed. There is a
way out of or over every difficulty
which besets human society. The
right way is an easy way. 1t is the
way of wisdom and understanding,
and 1t is open to all who seek it

Treasury Department, July 15, 1878.
Dear Sir: To that part of your let
ter Of the 18th inst, in which you ask
my views of the matter confided in
the monetary commission, l have some
delicacy in replying very fully. Dur
ing the monetary conference in Paris,
when silver in our country was ex-
cluded from circulation by being un-
dervalued, l was strongly in favor Of
the single standard of gold, and wrote
a letter which you will find in the pro-
ceedings of that conference, stating
briefly my views. At that time the
wisest of us did not anticipate the sud-
den fall of silver or the rise of gold
that has occurred. This uncertainty
is one Of the chief arguments in favor
of a monometayic system But other
arguments, showing the dangerous eff
fects upon industry by dropping one Of
the precious metals from the standard
of value, outweigh in my mind all the
oretical objections to the bimetallic
system. / am thoroughly convinced
that If 1t were possible for the leading
commercial nations to fix by agree
ment an arbitrary relation between
silver and gold, even though the mar
ket value might vary somewhat from
time to time, it would be measure Of
theNgreatest good to all nations. My
earnest desire is that you may succeed
in doing this. You are so well in
formed upon this subject that it is not
worth while for me to enlarge upon it.
The statements and documents sent
You by the director of the mint will
give in authentic form most of the ma
terial facts which bear upon the ques-
tion, and your own investigation on
the silver commission will, l am quite
sure, supply any deficiency. Very truly
yours, JOHN SHERMAN.

The Hawaiian islands are an exam
pie OF commercial development under
a close or protected system. 1t was in
1856 that the islands first touched an
interest OF 100000 In our import
trade, chiefly through the whale-fish-
cries, as they made a convenient stop
ping place for American whalers. The
interest was not doubled until the reci-
procity treaty went into effect (1S77),
and sugar became the great article of
commerce, with rice as the second in
Importance, but representing only one
tenth the value of the sugar. The
granting CT free entry into the United
States for these two products was
equivalent to remitting to the Ha-
waiian planters the sum of $1000,000
a year, every dollar OF which acted as
bounty on production. 1t was ma
tural to find that SO liberal gift was
soon appreciated, and the energies of
the islands were directed into laying
out plantations Of sugar and rice. AS
rice proved of uncertain profit tn e
cultivation for export has not pros
pered, although the domestic consump-
ton increased through the influx Of
Asiatics. The exports of this grain
were 2,250,000 pounds in 1876, attained
a maximum of 13,6S4,2 200 pounds in
1887, and are now about $500, 900
pounds year.-Harper's Magazine.
