Colonel C. R. Scott of Omaha led with a ringing speceh in favor uf the restoration of | the bounty as proposed by the committee. He was followed by Hon. Cuurch Howe, who made one of his characteristic addresses in which he talked against the resolutions and dofended tne lust legislature, and then wound up by declaring himself in favor of the report, providing the proposed bounty could be absolutely inswred to the furmer. Finally Wolf of Lancaster county moved to strike out the preamble to the report and | motion was not | adopt the resolutions. This agreed to but it elicited a discussion which resulted in the modification of the preamble ‘Welch of Douglas then tried to have the pro- posed bounty of half a cent cut down toa quarter of a cent, but the proposition seemed to meet with disfavor as it received no sec ond, The report of the committeo on resoiutions, as amended by tho convention, was then adopted with but two or three dissenting votes.

I fabored under many disadvantages which next year | will overcome. For instance, L expended §,000 for roads and ditches. Noxt year I will piant 630 acres of beets and I am confident that 1 will notonly retrieve my past losses but bave a handsome profit. I Dropose to farm about 1,500 acres next yoar fu order that my workmen can be employed the year round, and when not enzaged in beet culture can engage in other farm work. A. W. Fullreid, Douglas county—l1 am a farmer on a smail scale. Last yoar I pro- duced forty tous of beets from one” and one- half acres. I could ot geta satisiactory price for my beots at Norfolk, I then de- vised a method of my own for extracting the sirup from the beets. With an apparatus which cost me but & 1 extracted $i00 worth of sirup from my forty tons aud had tho res- 1duam loft for stock féeding. W. H. Dickinson, banker, Wahoo—1 wish to state for the benefit of the gentloman from Ted Willow county, who says the farmers of his county ave ready to guarantee 5,000 acros of beets to any manufacturer, that I can fur- nish bim with the names of @ syudicate of New York capitalists who stand ready to take him at bis word. Colonel C. K. Scott, Omaha—The last log- islature perpetrated a grievous wrong in re- pealing the sugar bounty, I want to say that when the next logislature is olected every candidate should be compelled to pledge him- self to right the wrong. 1f ho will not so pladge biwself, don’t elect him, for & man who will not pledge himself to do right, to maintmin the faith and good uame of the state, {s not to be trusted J. W. Thummell, Grand Island—I have heard a number of statements on this floor to the effect that the farmers are ready to fur- nish the beets whenever the factorios are lo- cated. The geatlemen making these state- ments may be perfectly sincere, but our ex- perience in Hall county for the past two years will not bear out the theory. The ex- perieuce of our farmers has beeu thut boot ralsing is unprofitable under the present sabedule of prices. Something must be done 1o encourago the fndustry until it 1s frmly established.

Bradstreet's weekly Speculation ais- one puolic purchases of uign investors, thoughy Mclined to buy, have taken very littlo part, and the market-has, in the maln, beon left in fho hanas of the pro- fossional operators. The distinguishing feat- ure st the momenty however, is that this class are, with more than usual unauimity, oither acting pn the bull side or are convinoed that the development of & wider and_higher market is only a question of time. Tho facts that railroad traffic is beyond tho facilities of many of the roads, that earnings continud o increase and ono after another finds its | possible to increaso the rato of the dividends paid to tho share- holders, scem to leaVe little doubt in the minds of Wall streot: operators that a bull markot of the largest proportion is really at vand, These factors are supplemented by the influence of an easy money market, with the revival of investment, buying of bonds and by the seeming fact that some of the laraest railroad interosts in the country headed by the Vanderbilts, are apparently ex- tending efficiant support to their properties. The result has been a_quiet, persistent ab- sorption of stock, which, with the uotable firmuess holders now aisplay in keeping their possessions, gives an extremely bullish tone o the entire market and occasions steady advances in most of tho active shares ana specialties, Bearish manipulations seom to have lost their forca for the time being, and though the Gould properties wero beavy and the Ricnmond Terminal complic: tions had & depressing offect on its ow curities, which in the Northern Pacific were also the object of unfavorable rumor and bearish manipulation, none o theso incidents were deomed ablo to chang the course of the general mavket, The most important incident of the | week, was the restorption of the Rock Island _dividend rate from a balf acent, quotably, to 1 cent.

Mr. McCann was seen in the éity vesterday by a reporter, and i response to the mild 1m- peachment be said: “Itis pretty early to begin talking about congressional candid It is aificult to predict just what turn matters will take, but 1 should say just at prescnt that the threo mos*. likely men mentivued in our district for congress are Juck McUoll, James Whitehead and Judge Kinkaid, in the order I have men- tioned them.

The doctor claims that he was to manage the the rauch for five vears and ‘at the ond of that time own half of the stock, which at the start numbered 461 head. He claims that Mrs. Tusler broke the con- tract at the end of two years. Hor story was that the stock was constantly diminisning and that Keenan was appropriating tho money entirely to his own use. Frionds ad- vised her to make a change or she would be left penniless, and that was why she dispensed with her brother's services. Some two months ago her attorneys, John Hoaley of this city aud ex-Governor Meikel- johu of Fullorton, went to Madison to sce | Dr. Keenau and his attorneys with roferenco | to a settlement, and wera pounced upon and roughly handled oy thé'irascible physician.
