Tearing Down a Nebraska Industry, The appoarance of Bryan’s bill placing binding twine upon the free list in the house this week will draw forth a lively fire of facts and statistics from Nebraska, where the manufacture of binding twice from American hemp has already boen established unon afirm basis. I have been shown to aay a private letter written by a pronnnent citizen of Nebraska to Senator Manderson concerning this free binding twine: bill, Among other things the writer of this latter says: had horetofore supposed that a ropre- seotative from any stato was sent to congress for the purpose of securing legislation that ‘would be of benefit to the industries of the state of which he was a representative. It seems that Congressman Bryan of Nebraska takes a dirferent view, and that he makes it his mission to tear down for his own political aggrandizement thoso industries which are of benefit to the very ones whose irterests he claims to have at hoart.” This letter encloses some information us to tho successful operation of tho Nebraska Binder Twine company already estaolished at Fremont. This company has proved that hemp can be grown successfully in the Platte valley and that binder twine made from that hemp is _even better than pure manilla, stronger aftev the knot is tied and is entirely insect proof, while criokets spec- fallv cut wanilla and sisal some scusons vi badl; ‘Lue company grow and had grown about Fremont in 1888 270 acres of hemp, in 1859 700 acres, both seasons selling the cleaned fibre to eastern mannfacturer In i8%0 the com any got over 2,000 acres at Fromont, North ord and Godfreys. One compauy Las put in asctof the latest imoroved twine ma- chivery, and made that crop into binder time, sclling lower to the farmersof N braska than they ever bought good twine. In 1801 the company had in cultivation over 2,000 acres of hemp from which it 1s working an exceedingly good ar- ticle of binder twine which will seil at o reasonable price, no matter how bigh other makers of twine may be sold. One method of handiing, and machinery for cleaning hemp, which savea large part of the cxpense by the old mothods, insures ability to supply the best quality’ of homp twine, at o price much lower than would bo possiblo excopt by the oid hand methods of handling and cleaning. The company makos 0 10 4,000 pounds of twine per day, and employ steudily sixty hands, and when' puli- fng crop about us many mo Publie Bulidings fo Within tbe next ten days Senator Paddock ‘believes that the bill providiug for a federal building in all cities and towns where the postofiice receipts aggregato £5,000 a year, will ba passed by the senate. The bill con. templates tho expenditure of about §20,000,~ 000 within tho next four or five years, or ns 8000 as sites can be purchased and buildin constructed in places entitled o them un the provisions of the bill, anxiety is manifested in the seoate as to what tbe house will do with the measure when 1t is by that body received. The house committee on postoffices and post- roads reported favorably a bill similar to this under a democratio organization, but in view of the pledges made by the majority of the present house aguiust appropriations not pecossary for the maintenance of government busin a doubt exists whether the bill will weceive favorable action.

Whitelaw Reid told the correspond- entof the Herald thatit would be some woeks before he could get away. French popular sentiment upon the Cannes tragedy is characterized by @ conversation the Herald had with the concierge at 2 Rue Marbouef, where Parker Doacou's residence was for a year. “‘Oh pauvre Madame Deacon.” said the concierge, “etait elle gentille monsieur, etait un ours.

After- wards to Turkey, Algiers, Armenia, Cairo, and then up the Nile, the most memorable part of the pilgrimage. Prof, Wells 1s con- vinced that English occupation has benefited Egypt, which he expects will becomo a win- ter sanatarium for Europe and America. Northern Africa, Spain and_South France brought the trip to a close. Prof. Wells re- turns a month hence. A serious accident occurred last night (Monday) on the Northern railway three miles from Paris. A passenger train ran into a goods train.

Current Toples Talkers W lieveo in Single The Current Topic club uiscussed the Henry George single tax theory last night. The question was stated in these words “Would it be advisablo to raise all public rovenue by a single tax upon lana, irre spective of improvemeats resvlting from labor?", Mr. L. E. Huggins was the leader on the affirmative. He asked Mr. A. J. Points, who had given tho subject consideraple study, to open tho discussion by stating the principles of the Henry GGeorge theory of single tax. Mr. Points took up and followed onimaginary pioneer going out to open up a homa until tae neighborhood where the set- tler loeated had become a city. By the side of this farm whore the pioneer located lay o tract of land owned by a capitalist who per- mitted the land to remain unoccupied until the city had grown up around it. His land grew into a fortune without bis having done a solitary lick toward making it more valu- able. Now Henry George claims that this is unjust and that those whocame tothe commuuity to improve the land should have the use of it. Those who improve their land by hard work kept increasing their taxes all the while, but this speculator could simply stand idly by and seo other people make a fortune for bun by tho increasing value of his land. Mr. Points thoucht thera was a great deal in the Henry George theory that ought to challeugo the attention of careful students, Mr. J. A. Powers took up the argument for the negative. He held that the Henry (eorgo theory was very largely moonshine, It woula please people who wanted some- thing for nothing, who tolied not and who never spun anything but impractical theo. ries. It was a ereat scheme to make a machine of the government with the foolish idea that a government. could create some. thing or make something independent of the peoplo who compose it. Mr. Agoo made a brief address in the afirmative, in which he made some very strong points. Prof, Lew:s, of the high school, talked for ten minutes in favor of the negative. Ho said he rend Henry Georgo's book, **Progress and Poverty,” with a great deal of admira- tion the first time. The second time he be- gan to suspect that ali was not right and the third time he read it he began t see the absurdities of the theory. He had read it many times and had no hesiteucy in saying that the theory was based on moonshine and was utterly im- practicable, Mr, W, D. Beckett argued for the affirma- tive side. He made a number of very good hits and was applauded. Dr. Duryea summed up the argument and said that ho had, like Prof. Lewis, been con- vinced that tho theory presentoa by Henry George was a very flimsy and impractical one. He was of tho opmnion that a man would have hard work formulating a statute that would embrace the George theory of taxation. Dr. Durvea said he thought it would take a life time for a government to gev ready to collect its taxes by such a scheme, Mr. Doyle presented the Current Topics for the week and succeeded in presenting an intensely paper. Ho mentioned nearly everything that had happened during the past week, all the way from the Blaine letter to the veginning of work upon the basemont of the new postofiice buil Tho club will debate tho same question next nvionday night. Mr. W. 1. Beckett will ln}m the affirmative and Prof. Lewis the neg- ative. e SO Y Father Rigge's Entertainment. The scries of stereopticon entertainments given by Rev.

I ticated with doctors in various parts of the country, but none of them could do me any good furthor than giving mo short temporary reliel. I suffered” night and day. and continued to grow worse not: withstanding all the medicine I had taken. I had almost given up my case as hop when L was informed by a friend of Dr. C. Geo Wo, the Chinese doctor, and advised to go and soe him in the nope of gotting relief at least, if not a permanent cure for my trouble. I was slow in muking up my mind to make such a radical change 10 my trentmont, as [ knew a trial with the Chinese doe or would bring mo, but I finally con- luded to give him a triid. so T ealled at, his office with t intention. I found the doctor a clever, entertaining gentie- man, thoroughly posted on my condi- tion, and it took only a vory short time to convince mo that he was tho party I was 80 long in scarch of. He told me my case was curablo, and that he could o mo, and prepared me a special treatment to suit my condition, and in two weeks 1 was 0 much better that [ had the fullest confidence in the doctor’s ability and committed w o to his treatment. 1 continued to grow botter rapidly and am now entirely well.
