me for Identification hematite image
found near Roca.
1t is Of red hematite or blood stone,
bearing a high state of metallic lustre,
and patin is in sufficient presence to
show conclusively that the little human
image made of hematite is of ancient
origin and absolutely genuine.
The two feathers at the scalp lock
also indicate that it was made by In
dians and the lustre shows much hand
ling and usage. The inside color is
deep red and the outside is of dark
red, patinated appearance. The two
colors present, would surely indicate
that the object Is not bogus produc-
ton, and the general appearance of age,
is striking. We have here nearly fifty
of these little images, found in America,
and all of them are genuine and of an
cient origin.

Please allow me to urge upon you the
necessity to your state history, of fos-

Washington, D. @.
The Democrat convention by vote of
four to one, adopted the following as
part of their platform.
"We, the representatives of the Dem
ocratic party in Nebraska, in state con-
vention assembled, send hearty greet
ings to our president, Grover Cleveland,
and renew the expression of our conf
dence and pride in his patriotism, cour-
age and wisdom. We heartily endorse
the administration of President
Cleveland. We reaffirm the
truths so forcibly set forth by the
president in his message to the special
session of congress. We favor has recon-
memdatiom to congress therein made for
the repeal of the silver purchase clause of
the Sherman Act, and we call upon the
United States senators to speedily pass
the pending bill for the prompt and un-
conditional repeal of that vicious law."
Please deliver our greeting to the

. 4 SPECI4L PLEA.

The commissioner Of navigation, Mr..
Chamberlain, who, by the way, changed
his politics and his opinion on economic
subjects to hold his job, is out with a
special plea for protection and ship sub
sides under the guise of an annual re-
port Of the growth of American shipping.
Mr. Chamberlain's reports have been
mine for the advocates of ship subsidies.
Bearing an official stamp, these reports
are quoted by the wreckers of American
commerce as authority. In face of the
fact that ships can be built and are being
built in this country cheaper than in
Europe, the commissioner enters into a
long argument citing figures on prices of
iron and labor to prove that American
shipyards cannot compete with those on
foreign soil. Mr.. Chamberlain employs
the stock argument used by Hanna and
his associates last winter.
The report claims that the American
cost of steamer of the Minnehaha type
will be $1,S46,SOO, while the British cost
will be only 81, 200. And that the
American cost of smaller transatlantic
cargo steamers will be $4,000, while the
same class of boats in England can be
built for $5S4, 900. This is given with
SNUG assurance that is positively de-,
lightful. Mr.. Chamberlain takes it for
granted that the rank and file do not
know that America is shipping steel to
the Clyde to go into the very manufac-
ture of those cheap British vessels.
American shipping has increased until
the gross tonnage has reached the point
attained in 1861, but this increase has
been in the coasting and lake trade; the
ocean carrying trade under the American
flag has not increased to any marked ex-
tent-it has not kept pace with the growth
Of our commerce. Only per cent of our
foreign exports and imports are carried
under the Stars and Stripes Mr..
Chamberlain does not attempt to give a
reason for this-that would be danger
GUS. He, however, is compelled to state
the fact that more American goods are

true Nationalist can support the men re-
sponsible for this action, or accept any
apology for it. 1t was treason to Ire
land and treachery to the cause of free
dom in South Africa
The Glob sincerely regrets even
the appearance of disunion in the ranks
of those who are fighting for the polit-
zeal, social and industrial regeneration of
Ireland 1t would refuse in any way TO
promote or countensnce any disagree
ment among Irelands representatives.
But the charges made against the gentle
men who are now on this side of the
ocean are sufficiently serious to justify
the friends of the Irish cause, whether
of Irish or American nationality, in de-
handing some explanation of their true

BIDWELL,s REMOVAL.

A good deal of interest has for some
time past attached to the prospective
action of the president regarding the re-
appointment of George A. Bidwell. collec-
tor of the port of New York. The cur
rent press dispatches announce that the
removal of Collector Bidwell has been
decided on. and that the position has been
offered to another.
There is some likelihood Of trouble in
action. Senator Stranahan, who acted
favorably on the tender of the office
made to him, has no special political
strength, and his appointment will add
fuel to the fire which the action OF
Roosevelt will probably start in the rear
of his administration in his own state.
It will be delightfully."- interesting to learn
the grounds of the presidents action.
BidweH has been all along peculiarly ac-
machine. His appointment was as GER
tain as anything in politics can be, if
Mckinley had not been killed.
The dominant politicians in New York
have demanded his appointment as I'M
avoidable under the announced purpose
Of the president to carry out the recog-
nized policy and purposes of his prede-
cessor.
Collector Bidwell has done a good dead
ton of the laws and regulations regard
ing the personal belongings of incoming
passengers and has made himself a ter
ror to respectable smugglers. 1t is one of
the grounds urged for his removal, that
he has administered that department of
the New York customs service with IN
due severity and in a manner to i'm
pose hardship on many upright and de-
serving people
The only other ground for dissatisfac-
ton with the present collector officially
is that, while acting in his official ca
pdC1ly, ne has T6ufd1utu a ISCoSllzSd po-
litical leader in one of the city districts.
This is of course in violation Of the
standing order established by President
Cleveland That order declared that the
use by officials of their positions 'te
compass their selection as delegates to
political conventions, is indecent and IN
fair, and proper regard for the proprieties
and requirements of official place will
also prevent their assuming the active
conduct of political campaigns" Against
the last clause of this order it is gen
orally recognized Mr.. Bidwell has been
offending right along.
President Roosevelt appears in this case
as either the stanch champion of civil
service regulations, or else as the de-
fender of the rich and powerful snug
glers whose ill will Bidwell mas aroused.
It is not at all likely that another Conk-
ling Garfield feud will arise out of the
incident; but, up to within few days
at least, it was quite evident that the
case presented itself as possessing most
of the elements necessary to first-class
row and rumpus.

itical enemies to live in peace and har-

significant Why is American capital
compelled to expatriate itself and do bust
ness under foreign flag? Simply be-
cause our fool navigation laws, framed
with desire to protect American ship
yards. so restrict the shipping business
that capital finds it more profitable to
go into the foreign market and buy es-
tablished lines of transportation than to
submit to the idietic restrictions of the
Republican protection policy.
Mr.. Chamberlain makes much out of
the difference between the wages paid
American seamen and those paid to for
eign sailors, but forgets to call atten-
ton to the fact that the crew of an
American ship win handle twice as much
freight in one-nalf the time consumed
by foreign seamen. The difference paid
American seamen is no handicap in the
race for trade.
AS a gentle hint to congressman, the
commissioner suggests that the building
of ten transatlantic steamers depends
upon the action of congress. What &C
ton? Is it a threat that if a subsidy
bill be not passed these ten steamers
will not be built? 1t looks that way.

THEY MUST RxpL4IN.

From a source of indlsputable author
ity in such matters T h G o b is in
receipt of a printed circular, headed
They Are Only Queens Irishmen.' The
PRISONS referred to are the gentlemen who
are now on a visit to the United States,
including Mr.. John E. Redmond and 9TH
er Irish members Of parliament. The
object of the circular is to prevent their
acceptance in this country as represent
ing the true political aims of the Irish
people.
None at all acquainted with Irish polit-
zeal affairs would think of denying either
the rectitude or the authority of h e
Gil b e S correspondent. Both are I'M
impeachable. Yet the circular sent out
on such authority expressly and without
the slightest qualification charges prac-
tieally the entire Irish parliamentary
representation as being disloyal to the
Irish cause. John E. Redmond, William
Brien, Sir Thomas Esmonde, T. P.
O'Connor, all well known members of
the English parliament, are specifically
charged with having deserted the Irish
cause and with having made terms with
England.
Among the other specifications set forth
in that document is the one that the
gentlemen who are here now trying to
secure the sustainment of Irish Amer
rectly aided and encouraged the enlist
ment of Irish soldiers for service in the
Transvaal. 1t states the situation at the
time of the late queens visit to Ireland
IN the following paragraph:
When Queen Victoria went to Ireland
ito drum up Irish recruits for the British
army in South Africa the whole civilized
world recognized the object of the visit
and waited to see what Ireland would do
The gallant Beers looked for some action
that would discourage enlistment in the
British army; the little handful of Irish
men who were upholding the honor of
the race under the flag of the Transvaal
naturally expected encoura cement, and
the Irish soldiers of the British army
hesitated at the most critical moment Of
the war. 1t was such an opportunity as
had not come in a century to emphasize
Irelands true position and make Eng
her It was a great opportunity, even
for Observation-Disclosures who knew the game
of politics.
Declaring that Mr.. Redmond, as the
ieader of the Irish representatives at
westminster, met this situation on the
floor of the commons by openly ayowing
that the queens visit had no political
significance, the circular then proceeds
to declare the attitude assumed by the
Irish parlimentarians to have been in
violation of all the traditions and his
tory OF the race. 1t proceeds: 1T was
an insult to the manhood of the Irish
race and it put Ireland in an utterly
false position before the world. 1t did
more to encourage enlistment in Britain's
broken and discredited army than all
her recruiting sergeants had been able
to do up to then, and it discouraged the
gallant few who were fighting in the
Boer ranks for liberty. In a word it did
more harm to the Irish cause than Mr..
