EAST PARK PAVING.
Street Car Company Will Lay Double
Track and Pave in Proportion.

II is now believed that a plan for ex-
tending the paved district on East Park
street. such as will meet with the an
proVal or property owners there, will
shorty come up in the city council, and
that the work will early next
year.
Last spring, when the proposition to
pave the street was endorsed by the
council, the protest of the tax payers de-
feated it. This was largely, if not
wholly due to the fact that the pro.
Ject as formulated then contemplated
paving the entire street, out to it's east
ern limit, going through a section not
closely built up and where much of the
property is unimproved.
Now it is proposed to pave only four
additional blocks and this, it is believed,
Will meet with approval. Extensions of
the paving district can thereafter be
made, until by degrees, the who'll street
is paved.
The plans of the Butte Consolidated
railroad company will reduce the cost to
property owners considerably. Manager
Wharton will put in a double track on
East Park whenever paving is decided
upon, which will result in about fourteen
feet of the work along his thorough
fare being done by the
Manager Wharton a addressed the
following communication to the may
or and city council relating to this SUBJ
ject.
1 would respectfully urge your honor
able body to decide at as early a date as
possible what paving you will do during
the year 1901.
If you wish to pave East Park street,
our company will build a double track
on it, thereby largely decreasing the cost
to the property owners on that street.
If paving is done or streets occupied
by our tracks it is important that or
ders for material to be used by us should
be placed at a nearly date to insure de-
livery in time mex year. Respectfully
yours, j. r. WHARTON,
Manager,

Confronted With Questions Which
He Did Not Dare to Answer.
When Mr.. Bryan visited New York
city recently, the papers published n
list or questions which they desired
him to answer in his addresses TO the
citizens. But, though the questions
We're perfectly germane and proper as
well as important, he paid no attention
to them. The questions were as fol-
lows:
l. VIII you, if elected, pay the ma
tional obligations in gold or in silver?
z. VIII you, If elected, make use Of
the United States army to forcibly es-
tablish a stable government for Agui-
naldo?
3. Are you in favor of re-enacting the
wilson tariff law or Cne similar there
to?
4. Are you in favor of DISTINGUISHING
the colored citizens of the south?
.. DO you approve of the action of
the Democrats I'm congress in defeating
the antitrust amendment last June?
9. You have lately gone on record as
opposing a life tenure in the civil serv-
Ice. How long q tenure would you
permit2
Z. You have lately charged the Re-
publicans with collecting large fund
from monopolies and coercing voters.
VIII you mention any monopoly from
which the Republicans have made such
collection and also mention one specific
case of coercion?

Discrediting His NeIGhbors' Credit.

Discrediting His NeiGhbOrs' Credit.
A most valuable lesson has been
pointed out to the confusion of Bryan
and Organism by publication entitled
american Investments Classified"
O9O0). a book published by Curtis e..
Harraman Of New York, which lists
the bonds of the cities, counties and
towns of the United States. The New
York Times says: We have been in
terested to trace in this book the own
ership of the state and municipal bonds
of Nebraska. We find that in addition
to the state bonds. many of which are
held by eastern savings banks and in
surance companies. there are 367 lots
of Nebraska county. city and town
bonds, ranging from a few thousand
dollars to 100000 and even higher.
owned mostly by savings banks in New
England and the middle states Lin
coin, Mr. Bryan's own home. has dis
posed of nearly $34OOO0.
How much money could the cOun-
ties and towns of Nebraska borrow of
eastern savings banks with Mr.. Bryan
IA l4lC W ullt IlOuSt W IlllllE
to congress in support of free silver?
After Mr.. Bryan had put the country
on silver basis does any one suppose
that any of the Nebraska cities or
towns would take into account the de-
probation of the currency and tender
$1,000 in payment Of a 81, 900 bonC
Hundreds of eastern savings bank
would be ruined and the money saved
up by wOrkingmen lost"
This is an argumentum ad lOcum that
ought to touch TO the quick the civic
honor OF Mr.. Bryan's townsmen, ever
though he himself is callous to it's barb
1t demonstrates clearly that Mr.. Bry
ans own state and city owe their de
velopment to the faith of eastern in
vestOrs in the stability of Nebraska Sc
curities despite the fact that Mr. Bryan
resides there and is advocating a policy
that would depreciate the value of tn,
obligations. But for this confidence OIL
the part of 'the enemy's country Ne
braska securities would have gone beg
ging and Nebraskan enterprises havt
come to a standstill.

Mr.. CIeveIand,s Views Uncbanxea

NEs OAeNelAndS views UNCHANGED
Ex-President Cleveland wrote a letter
on Oct. Z, 1900, to Mr.. John s. Green Of
Louisville In answer to a question as
to whether he had changed his politi-
cal Views of 1896. Mr.. Cleveland
writes: II have received your letter, in

A Farmers ActuoI Ftgura.

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan, the
Popo-Democratic candidate for the
presidency, insists that the farmers
OF the United States have not derived
any benefit from the existing pros
perity.
A Nebraska farmer proves that Mr..
Bryan Is wrong. He sends us a state
ment showing what he realized from
his 1GO acre farm in 1896 and this
year, taking exactly the same quanti-
ties of each product from his account
books. Thus:
