Democratic prosperity has reached Texas, where a big cotton mill cost-- ms $500,000 was sold for S30,000. It has been suggested that phi- losopher Henry George write another book descriptive of Cleve- land's second regime and entitle it 'Progress Toward Poverty." Senator Maxdebsok" has intro- duced a bill to pension Gen. Thayer in an amount not less than 8100 per month. The General deserves and needs such a pension, but it is doubt- ful if the bill passes. Having been forced to abandon the sugar refinery scheme, the union depot, and the Platte canal scheme, Omaha is now counting on a great building boom this season. We hope it may materialize. The great religious revivals being held in several of the strongly dem- ocratic states augur well for the re- publican party. When a man be- comes converted to Christianity he generally deserts the democratic party and becomes a. republican. The veteran editor of the New York Sun, in speaking of the Omaha youth who proposes tn inaugurate an epoch ot long distance poultry pedestrianatmg by driving a dozen chickens overland to California, says it is better to be such a ninny "than a populist or a cuckoo." The tariff has been badly mutilat- ed by the senate committee, and a raise on the dutiable articles been made. In addition sugar, iron and coal has been taken off the free list and a small dutv imposed. It is now said that the fate of the bill in the senate depends on the stand which the populist senators will take. It is believed that two sets of state 'and congressional officers will be nominated by the divided democracy in Texas, and this may result in the election of republican congressmen in two or three districts. When Texas begins to send republican rep- resentatives to Washington it is not unreasonable to expect an early dis- solution of the earth. All of the spring elections throughout the country thus far, when; has been any test of political - strength show great republican crams. Pennsylvania takes the lead with a earn of 323,000, and the totals thus far reported show a trifie more than 300.000. Cleveland's plu rality in 1892 was 379,000 which is already as good as wiped out. The republican congressional com- mittee of this district met at last evening, but we are not ad- - i ,i i- - ii j Tisea as tne action lanen m rearu to holdinff the convention, it is hoped, however, that the date set will permit of a lengthy canvass, as tne district is verv larse in area, and a short campaign does not allow a can didate to visit all sections of the district. Matt Daugiierty, of Keith and chairman of the republican cn mission al committee, is consid ered by raarv 88 a P0?sie candidate for congress from this district. Matt is well qualified for the position, his republicanism is of the proper stripe, and would prove a very hard-worki- ng champion of the peoples' inter- ests. However, we have not learned as to whether Mr. Daugberty would consent to be a candidate. Uxcle Dick OoLESBYsaid that the business of this country was so great that it was all the experienced repub- lican statesmen could do to mauage it, and it would suffer if the inexpe- rienced democrats should take con- trol. The number of business men who now agree with TJncle Dick, but did not two years ago, is enough to give him tne reputation of being a great and good and true prophet. But Uncle Dick simply knew the democratic party better than did the voters of two yeare ago. TriE second trial of Daniel Cough-li- n on the charge of complicity in the murder of Dr. Cronin came to a close Thursday by the return of a verdict of acquittal. While the evi- dence was purely circumstantial the public, and especially those who had read the testimony closely, had rea- son to expect that the jury would either convict or fail to agree; an acquittal was unexpected. Coughlin ha escaped the meshes of the law, but in the eyes of a great majority of the people he stands branded with the aiarkof Cain. luCK McColl, a gentleman whom The Tribune would like very much to ste nominated as the republican gubernatorial candidate, was in Kearney the other day, and in reply to an interrogatory by a Hub repre-reeentati- ve said "1 am not in it. It has become customary in the state IwKen an incumbent in that office "has. given entire satisfaction to honor him with a renomiuation. This I think will be done. Crounse has made an excellent executive and J think he will succeed himself. Further than this I have nothing to sav." But it does not end there. Governor Crounse will probably not be a candidate for a at lpasfc Tom Maiors' earnest efforts, which he is at present making for the nomination would indicate such. If the Governor desires to be a can- didate for on we believe he should be given the nomination; but if not, western Nebraska should be given the candidate, and papular Jack McColl should be the man. It is full time that the western part of the state should.demand recognition at the hands of the leaders in the eastern part of the state. An influential member of the democratic national committee was asked by a democratic congressman upon what platform it wonld be best for him to run next fall, and the committeeman is said to have ans- wered: "That simple platform among the democrats of your dist- rict should be simply opposition to the Cleveland administration. You need not be specific as to the details. That broad declaration is enough. I do not know of any other platform upon which a democrat can hope to stand this fall with any possible chance of success. And it is by no means certain that that will dp you any good. The administration is gone. The only point of doubt yet is whether it has carried the demo- cratic party down with it. Person- ally, I very much fear it has." Not one case has come to light in Nebraska where alleged frauds of republican officials have been discov- ered and corrected by their populist successors. A wail of corruption! fraud! turn the rascals out! swept over the state, and a good many hon- est, faithful republicans were let out to make room for eager, hungry, howling populists. But when they were elected there is not a case on record where they discovered the crookedness complained of, or if they discovered, it where they corrected it. On the other hand no end of venali- ty, peculation and embezzlement have been perpetrated by the popu- lists in their brief authority. County after county has been defrauded and many of them have already repudia- ted the self-styl- ed reformers and re- turned to their first love. York Times. Dr. Geo.L. Miller, ex-edit- or of the Omaha Herald when it was an oft-quot- ed paper has been ap- pointed customs collector for the port of Omaha. The great Grover threw overboard the applications of the other half-doze- n pie petitioners and appointed the genial doctor upon his own motion. The friends of Dr. Miller wnre urging him for the vacancy in the interstate com- merce commission made vacant bv the death of J. W. McDill. It is fortunate that the president did not make the mistake of advancing this life-tim- e apologist for corporate ex- tortion to'fche position desired for him by his friends. He appeared to be ever ready to crook the preg- nant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawning. At any rate he has been dubbed the Nestor of Nebraska democracy by his more zealous friends, whatever that may mean. In commending the action of the Catholics of Huntington, Ind., in making no resistance tc an A. P. A. lecturer a few dsys ago, the Inter Oceau says: "This is a free coun try. In it a man has a right to de- nounce the Catholic form of religion, he also has the right to denounce any Protestant form, yea, he even has the right to denounce all forms of religion, aud religion itself. Col. Ingersoll makes a trade of deriving the inspiration of the Bible and of doubting the existence of, a God Yet no Catholic ever arrayed a mob against Ingersoll. It seems a strange thing that men should be so easy while God is blasphemed, aud uneasy when the Pope is ridiculed. If Cath- olicism be founded on Christian law and be evolved through christian love, it will endure against all the. shocks of ribaldry and all the blows of argument. The founder of Chri- stianity bade his too ardent, disciple 'Put up thy sword within its sheath.' A religion that cannot tolerate op- position is lacking of the first ele- ment of Christianity." The Tariff Situation. It now looks as if the senate would pass the Wilson bill, after amending it to sjch an extent as to placate the so-call- ed "conservatives" of that body. The evident policy is to let the bill be amended almost indefinitely any way to get it through the senate. The free traders could well afford to let the few protection democrats of that body tinker away at it to suit their utmost bent, no matter if it were so radically and generally changed that its own father would not rec- ognize it. Such amendment and passage in the upper house of con- gress would be iu itself a barren victory. The game now being played is salmon not trout fishing. The dis- ciple of Izsak Walton who angles for the nimble trout must land his fish as soon as he feels the twitch- ing of his tackle. To dally is to lose. But in kilhug salmon hours may elapse between the secure hooking of the victim and the final act. The novice at the sport is likely to find that haste spoils his fun." A Fabian policy wins. In killing protection the free traders would run no small risk of an ad- verse vote in the senate if they per sisted in ignoring the amendments of the sugar, coal and iron men on the democratic side of the senate. When once passed on. however, the reference of the whole subject to a conference committee will follow as a matter of parliamentary neces- sity. That conference committee will consist of a large preponder- ance of rabid free traders, and will undoubtedly report a bill agreeing for the most part with the original house bill. Then the real test will come. The "salmon" will be at the end of his play and must be either lauded or lost. No amendment will be in order at that stage of the proceedings. The senators from New York, including Brioe, New Jersey, Maryland, Louisiana and Alabama will have to take the gaff or break away. Senator Hill said Saturday to the delegation of business men who waited upon him at bis hotel in New York that he was in favor of , protection to the extent of the dir-- j ference between European and I American wages. That is the re- - ublican doctrine pure and simple. ut will he have the courage of his convictions when he feels the part-gaff- ? The general impression is that in the end the free trade??sl- - -- t. . i it r i 'V '. mon win oe.iauacu. inter uccau. The calif or the annual national convention of the repnblican league clubs has been issued by the presi- dent and the date fixed for June 26th, in Denver, Col. It will be in session for several days and expects to conclude its labors in time to participate in a monster Fourth of July celebration arranged for by the people of the Queen City of the Plains. The total representation will exceed 2,000 delegates. Fixing the place at the capital of the Cen- tennial state would look as if the committee was desirous of bearding the Douglas in his hall Gov. Waite in his lair. SUTHERLAND NEWS. Surveyor Walker, of Ogalalla, was in town the latter part of the week. Mrs. M. E. Shoup -- has been granted a pension to date back a couple of years.

TTndicial Notice Not Taken or tho Pugilistic Encounter. Washington, March 13. Such a gathering of lawyers as to-da- y filled the circuit court, where the Pollard-Breck-inrid- ge trial is? in progress, was seldom seen in Washington. Members of the bar crowded the place to see what sen- tence Judge Bradley would mete out tc the visiting Kentnckians who had made a pugilistic assault upon Miss Pollard's attorneys the night before. Impressive silence followed the roll call of jurors, Judge Bradley seeming to wait for explanations from tho law- yers. Then he asked: "I notice the papers have glaid out a course of proced- ure for me to follow regarding an occur- - rence just outside the courtroom aftei the court had adjourned yesterday even- - lring, winch the court aid not see and ttt nirH flirt nnrftoo rQin cul try if linvt acts dirocilv on Iijio. and much as courl 2t ' does. It is a matter of which the court can take judicial notice. As it was past the hour of adjournment when the plaintiffs counsel had finished speaking last-night-, and as I noticed some evi- dences of excitement on the part of de- fendant's counsel I thought it best to ad- journ the court, thinking that after a night of thought over the connection in which certain words had been used the counsel might loek upon them differ- ently. Had the troubles referred tc taken place in court it would have been the duty of the court to take judicial notice of it and he would have done sc promptly." The taking of depositions occupied two hours and proved so prosy that by the time it was concluded there were but few spectators left in the court room. The Industrial Array Waiting Rations' and Transportation. Los Angeles, March 13. The indus- trial army movement is creating consid- erable sensation here.

They sent a dele- gation to the city council last to obtain railroad transportation for the Los Angeles regiment to Washington. General Frye, of the army, today sent notice to Secretary of War Lamont of the moving of the army and its constitution and bylaws. A demand is made on Lamont for an order for rations to be issued to the arm' from various posts, and provide transportation.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1894.

Democratic prosperity has reachedTexas, where a big cotton mill cost-- ms

$500,000 was sold for S30,000.

It has been suggested that phi-

losopher Henry George writeanother book descriptive of Cleve-

land's second regime and entitle it'Progress Toward Poverty."

Senator Maxdebsok" has intro-duced a bill to pension Gen. Thayerin an amount not less than 8100 permonth. The General deserves andneeds such a pension, but it is doubt-

ful if the bill passes.

Having been forced to abandonthe sugar refinery scheme, the uniondepot, and the Platte canal scheme,Omaha is now counting on a greatbuilding boom this season. Wehope it may materialize.

The great religious revivals beingheld in several of the strongly dem-

ocratic states augur well for the re-

publican party. When a man be-

comes converted to Christianity hegenerally deserts the democraticparty and becomes a. republican.

The veteran editor of the NewYork Sun, in speaking of the Omahayouth who proposes tn inauguratean epoch ot long distance poultrypedestrianatmg by driving a dozenchickens overland to California,says it is better to be such a ninny"than a populist or a cuckoo."

The tariff has been badly mutilat-ed by the senate committee, and araise on the dutiable articles beenmade. In addition sugar, iron andcoal has been taken off the free listand a small dutv imposed. It is nowsaid that the fate of the bill in thesenate depends on the stand whichthe populist senators will take.

It is believed that two sets of state'and congressional officers will benominated by the divided democracyin Texas, and this may result in theelection of republican congressmenin two or three districts. WhenTexas begins to send republican rep-resentatives to Washington it is notunreasonable to expect an early dis-

solution of the earth.

All of the spring electionsthroughout the country thus far,when; has been any test of political

- strength show great republicancrams. Pennsylvania takes the leadwith a earn of 323,000, and thetotals thus far reported show a trifiemore than 300.000. Cleveland's plurality in 1892 was 379,000 which isalready as good as wiped out.

The republican congressional com-

mittee of this district met atlast evening, but we are not ad- -i ,i i- - ii jTisea as tne action lanen m rearu

to holdinff the convention, it ishoped, however, that the date set willpermit of a lengthy canvass, as tnedistrict is verv larse in area, and ashort campaign does not allow a candidate to visit all sections of thedistrict.

Matt Daugiierty, of Keithand chairman of the republican

cn mission al committee, is considered by raarv 88 a P0?sie candidatefor congress from this district. Mattis well qualified for the position, hisrepublicanism is of the proper stripe,and would prove a very hard-worki- ng

champion of the peoples' inter-ests. However, we have not learnedas to whether Mr. Daugberty wouldconsent to be a candidate.

Uxcle Dick OoLESBYsaid that thebusiness of this country was so greatthat it was all the experienced repub-lican statesmen could do to mauageit, and it would suffer if the inexpe-rienced democrats should take con-

trol. The number of business menwho now agree with TJncle Dick, butdid not two years ago, is enough togive him tne reputation of being agreat and good and true prophet.But Uncle Dick simply knew thedemocratic party better than did thevoters of two yeare ago.

TriE second trial of Daniel Cough-li- n

on the charge of complicity inthe murder of Dr. Cronin came to aclose Thursday by the return of averdict of acquittal. While the evi-

dence was purely circumstantial thepublic, and especially those who hadread the testimony closely, had rea-

son to expect that the jury wouldeither convict or fail to agree; anacquittal was unexpected. Coughlinha escaped the meshes of the law,but in the eyes of a great majorityof the people he stands branded withthe aiarkof Cain.

luCK McColl, a gentleman whomThe Tribune would like very muchto ste nominated as the republicangubernatorial candidate, was inKearney the other day, and in replyto an interrogatory by a Hub repre-reeentati- ve

said "1 am not in it. Ithas become customary in the state

IwKen an incumbent in that office"has. given entire satisfaction tohonor him with a renomiuation.This I think will be done. Crounsehas made an excellent executive andJ think he will succeed himself.Further than this I have nothing tosav." But it does not end there.Governor Crounse will probably notbe a candidate for a atlpasfc Tom Maiors' earnest efforts,which he is at present making forthe nomination would indicate such.If the Governor desires to be a can-

didate for on we believe heshould be given the nomination; butif not, western Nebraska should begiven the candidate, and papularJack McColl should be the man. Itis full time that the western part ofthe state should.demand recognitionat the hands of the leaders in theeastern part of the state.

An influential member of thedemocratic national committee wasasked by a democratic congressmanupon what platform it wonld be bestfor him to run next fall, and thecommitteeman is said to have ans-wered: "That simple platformamong the democrats of your dist-

rict should be simply opposition tothe Cleveland administration. Youneed not be specific as to the details.That broad declaration is enough.I do not know of any other platformupon which a democrat can hope tostand this fall with any possiblechance of success. And it is by nomeans certain that that will dp youany good. The administration isgone. The only point of doubt yetis whether it has carried the demo-cratic party down with it. Person-ally, I very much fear it has."

Not one case has come to light inNebraska where alleged frauds ofrepublican officials have been discov-ered and corrected by their populistsuccessors. A wail of corruption!fraud! turn the rascals out! sweptover the state, and a good many hon-

est, faithful republicans were let outto make room for eager, hungry,howling populists. But when theywere elected there is not a case onrecord where they discovered thecrookedness complained of, or if theydiscovered, it where they corrected it.On the other hand no end of venali-ty, peculation and embezzlementhave been perpetrated by the popu-lists in their brief authority. Countyafter county has been defrauded andmany of them have already repudia-ted the self-styl- ed reformers and re-

turned to their first love. YorkTimes.

Dr. Geo.L. Miller, ex-edit- or ofthe Omaha Herald when it wasan oft-quot- ed paper has been ap-

pointed customs collector for theport of Omaha. The great Groverthrew overboard the applications ofthe other half-doze-n pie petitionersand appointed the genial doctorupon his own motion. The friendsof Dr. Miller wnre urging him forthe vacancy in the interstate com-

merce commission made vacant bvthe death of J. W. McDill. It isfortunate that the president did notmake the mistake of advancing thislife-tim- e apologist for corporate ex-

tortion to'fche position desired forhim by his friends. He appearedto be ever ready to crook the preg-nant hinges of the knee that thriftmight follow fawning. At anyrate he has been dubbed the Nestorof Nebraska democracy by his morezealous friends, whatever that maymean.

In commending the action of theCatholics of Huntington, Ind., inmaking no resistance tc an A. P. A.lecturer a few dsys ago, the InterOceau says: "This is a free country. In it a man has a right to de-

nounce the Catholic form of religion,he also has the right to denounceany Protestant form, yea, he evenhas the right to denounce all formsof religion, aud religion itself. Col.Ingersoll makes a trade of derivingthe inspiration of the Bible and ofdoubting the existence of, a GodYet no Catholic ever arrayed a mobagainst Ingersoll. It seems a strangething that men should be so easywhile God is blasphemed, aud uneasywhen the Pope is ridiculed. If Cath-olicism be founded on Christian lawand be evolved through christianlove, it will endure against all the.shocks of ribaldry and all the blowsof argument. The founder of Chri-stianity bade his too ardent, disciple'Put up thy sword within its sheath.'A religion that cannot tolerate op-

position is lacking of the first ele-

ment of Christianity."

The Tariff Situation.It now looks as if the senate

would pass the Wilson bill, afteramending it to sjch an extent as toplacate the so-call- ed "conservatives"of that body. The evident policyis to let the bill be amended almostindefinitely any way to get itthrough the senate. The freetraders could well afford to let thefew protection democrats of thatbody tinker away at it to suit theirutmost bent, no matter if it wereso radically and generally changedthat its own father would not rec-

ognize it. Such amendment andpassage in the upper house of con-

gress would be iu itself a barrenvictory.

The game now being played issalmon not trout fishing. The dis-

ciple of Izsak Walton who anglesfor the nimble trout must land hisfish as soon as he feels the twitch-ing of his tackle. To dally is tolose. But in kilhug salmon hoursmay elapse between the securehooking of the victim and the finalact. The novice at the sport islikely to find that haste spoils hisfun." A Fabian policy wins. Inkilling protection the free traderswould run no small risk of an ad-

verse vote in the senate if they persisted in ignoring the amendmentsof the sugar, coal and iron men onthe democratic side of the senate.When once passed on. however, thereference of the whole subject to aconference committee will followas a matter of parliamentary neces-sity. That conference committeewill consist of a large preponder-ance of rabid free traders, and willundoubtedly report a bill agreeingfor the most part with the originalhouse bill. Then the real test willcome. The "salmon" will be at theend of his play and must be eitherlauded or lost. No amendmentwill be in order at that stage of theproceedings. The senators fromNew York, including Brioe, NewJersey, Maryland, Louisiana andAlabama will have to take the gaffor break away.

Senator Hill said Saturday to thedelegation of business men whowaited upon him at bis hotel inNew York that he was in favor of

, protection to the extent of the dir-- jference between European and

I American wages. That is the re- -ublican doctrine pure and simple.ut will he have the courage of his

convictions when he feels the part-gaff- ?

It will be insession for several days and expectsto conclude its labors in time toparticipate in a monster Fourth ofJuly celebration arranged for bythe people of the Queen City of thePlains.

TTndicial Notice Not Taken or tho PugilisticEncounter.

Washington, March 13. Such agathering of lawyers as to-da- y filled thecircuit court, where the Pollard-Breck-inrid- ge

trial is? in progress, was seldomseen in Washington. Members of thebar crowded the place to see what sen-

tence Judge Bradley would mete out tcthe visiting Kentnckians who had madea pugilistic assault upon Miss Pollard'sattorneys the night before.

Impressive silence followed the rollcall of jurors, Judge Bradley seemingto wait for explanations from tho law-yers. Then he asked: "I notice thepapers have glaid out a course of proced-ure for me to follow regarding an occur- -

rence just outside the courtroom afteithe court had adjourned yesterday even- -

lring, winch the court aid not see andttt nirH flirt nnrftoo rQin cul try if linvt

dences of excitement on the part of de-

fendant's counsel I thought it best to ad-

journ the court, thinking that after anight of thought over the connection inwhich certain words had been used thecounsel might loek upon them differ-ently. Had the troubles referred tctaken place in court it would have beenthe duty of the court to take judicialnotice of it and he would have done scpromptly."

The taking of depositions occupied twohours and proved so prosy that by thetime it was concluded there were but fewspectators left in the court room.
