S e e e i THE OMAHA DAILY BEE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1894 HOUSE MEMBERS HOPEFUL After the Conference Today They Think an Agroement Oan Be Reached, SENATORS SHOW SIGNS OF YIELDING Jonator Caffery Ias a Long Talk with Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson —~Senators Say the Conditions Have Not Changed. WASHINGTON, July 31.—The prospects of an agreement on the tariff were much Improved today. For the first time in many days the house democratic conferees came from the meeting with the statement that previous irreconcilable differences were in process of amicable adjustment, With much satisfaction the house members stated to their associates that the senators had slown a disposition for the first time to meet the half way. As to when a full agreement would be perfected there was some difference of opinlon. One house confores sald that it would probably be this . Another thought It would be “soon." Chairman Wilson would not even admit the understanding had gone far enough to war- house rant the prediction of a speedy report. He #ald, however, that the conferevs had at least done business and made progress today, which was more than could have been sald of past mectings. . The senate conferees came from the meet- ing without showing the hopefulness of the house members. They said the conference was as far from an agreement as it had been while there was this conflict, among those thoroughly informed of the inside workings of the eonference, the general be- lief prevailed that the hopefulness of the house conferees had some substantial foun- @ation. One of the conferees said that while no final agreement had becn made on fron, coal and sugar, yot sufficient had been Meveloped in confe nce to show that an agreement could be reached on these three anost _important items, which would be s ceptable to the senate and house conferees and to the hous: of representatives, Whether it would be acceptable to the full Benato, this conferee expressed some hope. In this conn:ction, it developed today that Benator Caffery of Louisiana, who had been most active on the sugar question, had a fong and, it Is said, satisfactory conference yoaurday with Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson. While the house conferces were so pleased at the bright outlook, their senatorial col- jeagues contented themselves with saying hat while they were hopeful of reaching an understanding nothing had transpired fn conference to base this hope upon. They Meclare that on the essential items of disa- greement the conferees are as far apart as they ever were. An increased hopefulness that a bill will be agreed upon Is noticeable, however, upon the part of democratic senators who are mot members of the conference. One of the leading conservative senators said as he was leaving the senate chamber tonight that the tarift bill would be finally agreed upon by next Monday, and he added that the bill would be virtually the senate bill. The day developed the possibility of a re- port of partial agreement, and while this report at first appeared as a vague rumor, its probability was afterwards confirmed by senators not members of the conference com- mittee. The fact that the conference had the schedules other than those relating to sugar, coal and iron ore, under consideration today s one fact In confirmation of the report. Senator Voorhees and Chairman Wilson were too 1ll to attend the conference, and Senator Jones was also absent. Representative Springer stated that he had forty-five signers to the call for a democratic house caucus and would have seventy-five eventually, and the caucus would be held Thursday night. The friends of the Wilson bill wers full of hope. They gathered about the chair- man and other house conferees on the tarift and assured them that the danger of an adverse caucus action by the house had been averted, and that house crats could be depended upon to stand by the house bill to the end. At first there was an inclination gmong Mr. Wilson's friends to remain away from the caucus. If this had been adhered to it is probable the caucus would have lacked a quorum, But the sentiment is now felt by them to be so strongly with the house conferees that Chairman Wilson and his friends are lkely to attend the caucus and take a con- epicuous part in it. > AD L LoV AI'S DAUGHTER, Strange Infatuation of n Young Washington Clerk for Miss Mary Stevenson, WASHINGTON, July 31.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee.)—Washington sociely has miways been cosmopolitan, probably more so than In any other national capital In the world. The residents of the District are made up largely of legislators and office holders gathered from all parts of (he coun- try, and when they come together here they usually meet on equal terms in all social events. This very democratic state of affairs some- times leads to complications, as a story which would probably have been hushed up but for its partial premature publication in a western paper will show. Vice President Adlai Stevenson has two daughters. When Adlal was first called to ‘Washington as postmaster general in Cleve- land’s first administration tney were both of them little girls, but they have since had several years of Washington life and Mis Mary Stevenson has developed into a win- some and atiractive young lady. Some time ago at a barge party at which Mrs. Blanch- ard, wife of Senator Blanchard, was chape- Tone Miss Mary was introduced to a young clerk in the employ of the supreme court of the name of Curtis, Who was not only de- lighted at the idea of making the acquaint- ance of the daughter of a vice president but was immensely taken with the attrac- tiveness of the young lady herself. So in- faluated did the young man become that he insisted on calling on Miss Stevenson and paying his attentions to her even though her father did all he could to discourage it. It does not appear that the young lady ever showed any predilections for Mr. Curtis, but he became more and more persistent in his attentions to her and finally it leaked out that he had given her a ring, though it was sald that they were not engaged By this time the vice president had de- clded that matters had gone far enough and determined to separate the young people. Young Louls Green Stevenson called on Mr. Curtis and spoke with such earnestne. that the suitor concluded to let his passion rest for awhile. ¥ pald no more visits to Miss Stevenson and in a little while the Stevensons left Washington and went Into West Virginia for a short stay and afte wards to Bar Harbor. But the end was not yet. Mr. Curtl who I8 a grandson of Stephen Cassin of Penu- sylvania, who received a gold medal for bravery in the battle of' Ticonderoga, em- ployod a mutual friend named Emery Joh son to play the part of private detective and ascertain the possibilities of a continuance of his addresses. The amateur detective started to Bar Harbor, but only got as far as Boston. His money was spent and he sent for more. There was no more forthcoming from Curtis, and Johnson is still in Boston awaiting remittances. Whether he will be supplied *or not cannot be ascertained, but tho probabilities are that he will be call:d back. Amsterd WAEHING of Amsterdan Wants Better Norvieo.

CANNOT AGREE ON APPROPRIATIONS, Senate and House Conferees Lock Over the Indian BiL WASHINGTON, July 31.-~The conterees on the Indian appropriation bill have come to a deadlock over some of the most impor- tant items inserted by the senate. Al- though 120 amendments were made by the senate, an agreement was reached upon all but twenty-four of them, the senate re- ceding In seven cases from its items, while the house conferees accepted the remainder. | Horns The principal disagreement was over the amendn to ratify the agreement made with t nkton Stoux Indians of South Dakota Changes were made in the house plans for opening the lands of the Siletz reservation In Oregon, to which the house conferees | would not agree. Also the senate struck out the provisions that sections 16 and 36 of the lands should be ce to the state for the support of the common schoois. The house would not agree to the insertion of agreements for the acquisition of the lands of the Nez Perces Indians of Idaho and the Yuma Indians of California, and the senate would not recede.

TWO CONT! D ELECTION CAS Democratic Committee Reports in Favor of a North Carolina Republican, WASHINGTON, July 81.—Two contested clection cases are likely to occupy the at- tention of the house this week, contests over the seats for the Second Kansas and Fifth North Carolina districts. ~ The committee on elections after a long discussion reported in favor of Moore, the democratic claimant for Representative Funstone's seat, and will probably be given Wednesday by the com- mittee on rules, in which case Representative Jones of Virginia will call up the case.

THEIR WAR CRY IS RAISED Democratic Free Ooinage League Execoutive Committee Eager for the Fray. STIRRING ADDRESS TO NEBRASKA VOTERS Followers of Jefferson and Jackson Urged to Pro Regardioss of the State Committes — Asked to There was a meeting of prominent free silver democrats fn Omaha yesterday after- noon, the meeting being called for the pur- pose of adopting an address to the democrats of Nebrasks on the silver question his ad- dress had been prepared by Judge Ong, president of the Nebraska Democratic Free Coinage league, and it was duly ratified by the other members of the executive commit- tee. The address, which s printed in full below, makes a fervent appeal to the dem- ocrats of Nebraska to stand by the “money of thelr fathe nead and hold their county conventions clect delegates to the state ¢ rdless of the action of the state central committee in ndglecting to set a date for that convention. The ad- dress also asks the democrats to express themselves In thelr county conventions over the conduct of the officers of the state cen- tral committee in persisting in the folly of a late convention, Not the least onvention, reg: interesting feature of the meeting yesterday afternoon was the de- cision of the committee to at once place Congressman Bryan in the race for the posi- tion of United States senator. A letter was forwarded him last evening requesting him to at once announce himself as a candidate and assuring him that as soon as he made the annouiic they would proceed to urge his nomination by the democratic party. The letter to Congressman Bryan 1s also appended. The appeal of the free coinage people to the democrats of Nebraska is as follows: GENEVA, Neb., July 30.—Fellow Demo- crats of Nebraska: It is the duty of every member of the democratic party of Nebraska to contribute his part to its invigoration. The apparent numerical weakness of the party in this state is a demonstration of a radical defect in its principles or in its management, or in the people of the state, The trouble is not with the people of Ne- braska. They arc an agricultural people; the people whose circumstances and habits give them less knowledge of technical things, but more knowledge of nature and funda- mental principles, and more independence, courage and self-reliance than any other class. It was just such a people who made this government, and it is such a people who must stand as the anchor of hope for its perpetuity in its original integrily. Patriot- ism for our country and devotion to our institutions calls upon us to be, as of right we ought to be, resentful of epithets or slurs against the people of Nebraska or their political tendencies, their individual activity in politics, which indeed is the first duty of citizenship in a government of the people, for the people and by the people. It is both principles and men that are wanted. Party success depends not only on party principles, indorsed by the people, but also on party management, that inspires their confidence in party leaders. There is no demand for a party mercly to keep up its own organiza- tions, nor one only large enough to handle the patronage, nor party leaders whose oceu- pation s to work deception on caucuses and conventions or patronage for the advance- of .themselves and their favorites. To create and preserve confidence between the people and party leaders Is a root of wisdom in party management. If the party leaders really have faith and trust in the people, the latter will find it out and that trust will_be reciprocated. If the pzople do not belléve that party leaders have confidence in them, it is the best attainable evidence that It is not true. This was first clearly realized by Thomas Jefferson, and finds its greatest exemplification In the careers of him and Andrew Jackson, both of whom were, with the party they espoused, main- tained principally by the agricultural peo- ple like the people of Nebraska, The peo- ple of Nebraska have not now confidence either in the principles or management of the republican party, nor is it certain that they have sufficient confidence in the man- agement of any other party of the state to cause them to place it in power.

It is safe to trust them with the princi- ples of tarift reform, as represented by President Cleveland and the majority of the democratic members of congress. ~And yet we cannot forget that the tariff has been calloused by a hundred years' discus- sion, in which critics say that no now ar- guments have been advanced since the days of Jefterson and Hamilton; and that there is_another and newer question which has taken the foremost place in the minds of our people, who demand an opportunity to record their views thercon In unequivocal and unmistakable terms—a right which they have, and of right ought to have. A ques- tion arising out of the demonetization of silver twenty years ago—a question of restoration—whether silver _shall be remonetized—whether we shall have the single gold standard, or the double standard of gold and silver—whether we shall have monometallism of bimetallism. We are now suddenly confronted by the startiing alleged discovery of local explorers of the dictionary that the statesmen of the world of every age and clime, as well as writers on political economy, have always been under the delusion that there might be a double standard of values, when, in fact, there is no such thing, never has been nor ‘ever can be. They would run the sub- ject into a question of dictionary, where democrats, from Jackson down, are not counted heavy. ‘Another line of local phil- osophers tell us that perfect bimetalllsm, which they profess to favor, is the use of an equal amount of each metal, which we did ot formerly have, but we have got it now. So, according to their dictionaries, their millennium in metallism has come. In every government where the owners of gold and silver bullion can at pleasure on equal terms and without discrimination against either convert all bullion of both kinds into stand- ard money, a certain amount of gold into a certain number of units of value, and a certaln amount of silver into a certain num- ber of units of value, there is a double standard, according to the statesmen of the world, including Hamilton, Jefferson, Jack- son and an unbroken line of American states- men. That is double standard and not single standard—bimetallism and not monometal- lism—irrespective of how much of one or little of the other is being used at a given time, nor how much the one may go abroad in exchange for the other, thercby both re- lieving strains on each other in different places on the automatic plan (which is one of the great merits of the double standard), but still all remaining in and keeping up the size of the basic money volume of the world The necssary thing is unlimited colnage of both metals, so that no part of either will be excluded, thereby making surplus of bullion so excluded to fix a commodity value different from the coinage value. Iii- asmuch as there must be a ratio we should proceed under the present ratio of 16 to 1, and not permit a quibble on ratios to de- feat remonetization. An unlimited coinage of one metal and a limited coinage of tho other glves a commodity value to the latter measured by the standard of the former It i a vain attempt to compromise a ques- tion that in its nature is not susceptible of compromise, It is a monstrosity having not the simplicity, merit or stabllity of either the pure single or double standard, and must be abandoned for either the one or the other. SHALL ENGLAND STILL DICTATE? But we are told that we must wait for Europe. It is shown that Europe will wait tor Bogland. Europe, as her greatest stand- ard says, will hold to the single standard of gold because, being a creditor nation, It glves her the advantage over others, includ- ing the American people. The flat of Eng- land has made the single standard. Shall the fiat of England continue to rule us? Must we not move for rémonetization till England gives the word? A majority of the republican members of congress seem to think so, but the majority of the demo- cratic members of congress and the masses of the demoeratic party think otherwlise. The credit system having brought on such vast indebtedness and upon which the west has been s0 largely bullt glves the subject the | increased fmportance involving a partial con- | e tion of the property of the debtor; but oven If there were no debts the change from the double to the | single standard the world over would in time strangle activity, intelligence and | enterprise and increase the number of the rich, decrease the number of the middle class and fill the land with a destitute peas- antry. Adding to that the wrongs of having o pay on the narrow single standard the vast indebtedness contracted on the broad base of both metals, brings us to a rapid realization of the prophetic words of John G Carlisle, when in the lower house of congress, | building the summit of his political fame | In addition to that would be the special hurt to braska of crushing the Rocky moun- tain country, which has ever nurtured these plains, and whose greatness always has and alw would stand guard over our markets, he republicans of Nebraska by thousands and ten thousands belleve that Senator Cam- eron told the truth when he said in sub- stance that the demonetization of silver was a nefarious scheme of the money powers of | the world, centering in London, for their own selfish greed, and that their great leader, John M. Thurston, told the truth when he sald the demonetization of silver in the United States was by ‘“aceident or fraud,” and they are loath to trust the re- publican party, which did it, when in_the plentitude of its power, to now bring about frand.’ TIME. remonetization by “accident or NOW IS THE ACCEPTED The polital teachings of Jefferson and Jack- son, applied to the political fssues of the present time, under a party management in spiring confldence of the prople, would be sustained in Nebraska by 25,000 majority.

The following is a copy of the letter for- an last utive evening committes warded to Congressman B by the members of the exc whose names are attached GENEVA, Neb., July William J. Bryan, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir— The growing sentiment that Unit:d States senators should be the choice of the peo- ple makes it essential that Nebraska should be in line with other states with this pro- gressive idea. Believing that the great majority of the people of Nebraska desire that you should reprosent this state in the United States senate, the executive com- mittee of the Nebraska Democratic Free Coinage league respectfully requests that you announce yourself as a candidate for this high office. We desire that you shall at the same time announce the principles which will guide you in the event that you are elected, and also that you shall make a thorough canvass of the state. In the event that you make this announce- ment, the friends of bimetallism in the dsmocratic party propose to urge your nom- ination by that party. We are confident that every clement in the state favorable to the principles you have so ably championed are favorable to your election as United States senator, and we are certain that the political party which does not. champion your candidacy will not reflect the sentiment of the masses of the people of Nebraska. Awalting_an early reply we truly, J. B. ONG, President. J. MORGAN, Secretary. are, yours G. A. LUIKHART, Treasurer. JAMES C. DAHLMAN, H. M. BOYDSTON, C. J. SMYTH, ROBERT CLEGG, W. D.

Thrown from His Buggy by a Runaway Horse and Badly Hurt, Major Halford of the Department of the Platte was quite badly injured In a run- away accident at Thirtieth and Burt streets yesterday afternoon. He was out driving alone when his horse became unmanageable and ran away, going east on Burt street. At Thirtieth street the animal turned south on Burt street and upset the buggy. Falling against the sharp edge of a wooden sidewalk the major was dragged a few feet before letting go of the lines. A triangular wound, six inches long, was made in the left leg under the knee, and the right shoul- der and arm were so brulsed that for a time the arm could not be moved. The wound In the leg was exceedingly painful, but not deep. Major Halford was carried to the resi- dence of Mr. Rose near by, and was later taken to the Paxton hotel. The doctors say that Major Halford's injuries will confine him closely for perhaps ten days. Clan Gordon Hurled Vricks from the Roof. James Wilson was up before (ho poll court yesterday and was fined $30 on a charge of assault and battery. A couple of days ago Wilson was out fishing, but re- turned without having been successful in vanquishing the finny tribe of Cut-Off lake. Yesterday morning Jack Sheppard and Ike Kahn were commenting upon his abllity as a fisherman, and growing angry, he charged upon them, but after a short battle, he was compelled to beat a retreat, climbing to the roof of a house at Eleventh and Chicago streets, from which he threw bricks, wound- ing both of his assailants and a Miss Hattie Duncan, who happened to be passing. e location, Courtiand beach, iy West Point Brovities.
