8 IS NOT DOUBTFUL Mr. Thurston Has Made Up His Mind How the State Campaign Will End. 10 HIN HIS ESTIMATE OF REPUBLICAN MAJORITY West Cannot Dictate Financiul Polley of the Government—Mints Must Not Be Opened to Forelzn Sliver—The Reason Why. addressed the Young Men's Republican club at Patterson hall last evening, and he had a large audience Jdespite the large amount of caloric that had been stored in the big room during the day The speaker was somewhat delayed by the (ateness of the train from Grand Island, and Prof. Frank Nelson of Lindborg, Kan., made a brief address to entertain the crowd When Mr. Thurston was introduced he re- ferred to the fac his volce had been somewhat tired during the afternoon by an address delivered to keventeen acres of Grand Army reunion at Grand Island, but he belleved from experience that his voice always Improved as the camp ded, and that although it was last as ragged as a populist platform, would be better later on The first part of Mr. Thurston's address was devoted to the protection to American industry as developed by thirty years of republican ascendancy. The re- publican party, he declared, believed in the humanity, the dignity, the equality and the vight of American labor. He laid down the cardinal doctrine of the republican party, that every man had the right to labor when and where he pleased and to receive a fair price for the work of his hands. The real prosperity of a nation depends not upon its accumula‘lons of wealth, but upon the opportunity afforded to every man to work every day In the year at a falr wage. That country is In desperate straits, indeed, when men are compelled to go up and down the highways asking for work. For twenty years under republican supremacy there had fot been a time when an honest laboring man had been compelled to walk the streets in soarch of work. At the present time 2,000,- 000 men, who were enjoying plenty of worlk at good wages up to the last day of Benjamin Harrison’s administration, are wandering along the highways and byways of the coun- try secking employment. The desperate condition of the country demands the best thought of the American people. THE SILVER QUESTION. The greater part of Mr. Thurston’s address was devoted to a dizcusion of the silver ques- tion from a political rather than from an economic or theoretical standpoint. Alluding to the local free silver agitation, he said that there were a few misguided people who were clalming in this and other western states that prosperity could only be brought about by some scheme of finance that would not be acceptable to the more conservative people of the east. Mr. Thurston character- fzed this talk as the sheerest folly. He assured the audience that no legislation on the silver question could come as long as President Cleveland occupicd the white house. No congress could be elected strong enough to override the veto that Grover Cleveland “would be sure to interpose. Here in the west the people are In the minority, both in con- gress and out of it. The great west, great as It is, cannot, single-anded and alone, enact legislation. Financial legislation can only come about by the assistance and co- operation of a respectable number of the people of the eastern and middle states, The succ:ss of the populists has frightened the conservative people of the east more than anything else has frightened them since the war, and the frightened east, upon Whos> assistance the west must depend for intelli- gent legislation, can certainly put off any action on the money question. Silver legisla- tion will be impossible until every branch of the government Is once more in the hands of the republican party. The enemy in this state proposes to as- gault the republican party this fall with a demand for the fres and unl‘mited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. In answer to that assault the republican party says, first, that whatever money the mnation provides must be honest money. No legislation will ever be accepted in this country that puts the Goddess of Liberty and the American eagle on a dishonest piece of money. —Mr. Thurston declared himself in favor of the protection of the American mine as well as the American factory and the American farm. DANGER POINTED OUT. He believed that the American people could honestly and fairly provide for the free coinage of the product of American mines, but stated that rather than see the United States mints thrown open to the silver of forelgn mines he would oppose any legislation looking to the ' free coinage of silver. To open the American mints to the sllver mines of the world means that the mine owners and silver speculators of Europe could buy up thelr cheap metal and bring' it to the United States, where they could take from the mint $1 for every plece of money which cost them but 50 cents. They would then be able to give this 50-cent dollar to the American farmer for a dollar's worth of wheat or to the American laborer for a dollar’s worth of toil. In conclusion Mr. Thurston declared that although the drouth and the burning sun had destroyed the crops of Nebraska they had not destroyed the patriotism of the peo- ple nor their enthusiasm for the republican pazcy. He predicted that the republicans wouid nominate a ticket that would stand agalnst the fusion and confusion of the other parties and that it would be elected by a majority of 25,000, and that a legislature with a majority of republicans would elect a republican to the United States se Seventh Ward Republicans. The republicans of the Seventh ward will meet in caucus at 1212 Park avenue Friday, August 10, at 8 o'clock p. m., for the pur- pose of selecting delegates to the conven- tions to be held August 18, which will name the delegates to the congressional and state conventio John M.

August 11, 1804, Special trains from Web- ster street union station at 8:30 a. m. and 20 pm Sumuel u New Role. Samuel Macleod,late superintendent of bulld- {ngs of the Board of Education, has bobbed up with @ new ambition. This time Samuel is haunted by the delusion that the interests of the sghools require that he should be a “ member of the board and after due considera- tion of the subject he has announced to some of his particular cronles and one or two others that he is a full fledged candidate for the honor. Samuel has announced his in- tention in his characteristic way: "I am golng to be a member of the board and all can't stop me,” was the way he put it to one gentleman, and to another he is re- ported to have remarked that he was “going to be the chairman of the committee on pub- lic property and bulldings, too.” pe - EDUCATIONAL MATTERS. w to Retrench ners of the Board. nber of questions conneeted High school to Questions of Annoy Mem- There are a with the nagement of the which the High school committee of th Poard of Education is devo'ing a good deal of time. The most important of these is the result of the pre dilapidated condition of some bullding. of the window sills are rotting away various other indications re in evi- that the structure has its b days and will & h to be either modeled or replaced As to wirich of these plans should be followed there Is some dif- ference of opinion. Some the members are gpending any money in repairs. that the building hae reached that where If repairs are once begun have to be continued every year th structure will be far from satisfactory They claim that it would be be policy to save the mone that would be expended in repairs until such time as they can afford to replace the old building with a permanent and more satisfactory structure that will answer all purposes for many years to come. Another question which bothers he com mit is the high ratio of expense per pupil fn the High scho'l and also in some of the other schools of the cit The rules of the board provide that no class shall contain less than ihirty puplls, but this rule is disre- garded in many cases, which results in in- creasing the expenses of the school. According to the last port of the super- intendent the average daily attendance per teacher In the High scheol, not including the principal, was 27.9 pup! he cost pe pupil per annum was $44 This make the High school rank among the most expensive schools of the cit Outside of the training school, where the ave ge yearly cost is $161.71 per pupil, the most costly school is the Eckerman, where there is an rage of only 18.9 pupils per teacher, and the expense per pupil is $5 The oppo site extreme is reached at the Franklin school, where each teacher has forty-nine pu- pils and the cost is only $16.04 per pupil. The Castellar school With thirty-nine pupi per teacher costs §20.70, and the Lake and the Kellom schools, where the average number of pupils to a teacher Is forty-two and forty-three respectively, they manage to get through the year at an expense of less than $20 per pupil. The Ambler school with half that number of pupils to a teacher costs $42.75 per pupil. The fact that a difference of more than 100 per cent in the cost of edu fon per pupll exists in the various schools is cited to show that.there is something radically wrong with the present system. It is believed that by a thorough overhauling of the classes the number of pupils to a teacher might be in- creased, and the expense correspondingly diminished. Out of forty scho nine have smaller classes than is allowable according to the rule of the board, and it is said that no better results are obtained In these cases than in schools where each teacher has more than twice as many pupils under her super- vision. There Is also some discussion in regard to dropping several of the studies in the High school course that require special and high priced teachers, but are chosen by only a very few of the pupils. The superintendent’s report shows that during the year only eight pupils out of 875 took the course in geology. The same num- ber studied astronomy. and only ten were registered in trigonometry. It is urged that it is a waste of funds to pay special teach- crs to teach these branches to classes of scarcely more than half a dozen pupils, and that the money so expended might better be applied to some purpose which would benefit a greater number of pupils. At the beginuing of the September term considerable difficulty is anticipated in ac- commodating the increasing number of ap- plicants for admission to the High school. The same difficulty was experienced last year, and as some Increase is expected in the enrollment this fall, something will have to be done to supplement the resources of the establishment. One plan that has been proposed and which seems to meet with favor is to replace the cumbersome seats now in uge by opera chairs, which will take up less room, and by which it is thought the capacity of the rooms can be increased to a considerable extent. Samples of the chairs are now on-exhibition in Superintend- ent Fitzpatrick's office, and he estimates that by their use room may be acquired for sev- eral additional pupils in each room. The ad- dition of the pupils to the various rooms would also somewhat reduce the average cost of education per pupil, and economize at both ends. m ent somewhat portions of the Some and not In favor of They assert condition they will and still Marriago Licenses.

THOUGHT TO BE OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN Greater Part of the Loss Covered by Insur- tirely Assaule unce — Water Prossu quate — The Slate- Case — Magic City Gossip, A few morning 1 o'clock yesterday in the rear of ty-fourth and 1 streets, occupied by Charley Hinz for a grocery The flames secmed to first all coal shed at the rear of or from the stairway leading to second floor just above the coal house. In an finstant the whole west end of the structure was a sheet of flames and a few econds later Dr. Everett's residence, which is Just.across the narrow alleyway, was also ablaze, J. M. Tanner liv.s just south of the Hinz building, there being only a space of five or six feet between the hot Mr. Tanner's girl sleeps in the rear of his resi- dence and the flames flashing into her window awoke her. The girl aroused the houschold and the alarm was telephoned to the central station by Mr. Morgun Heafe who lives just across the street, who hap- pened to awake about the same time. Al Gearey happened to be on his way home at the time and he and Mr. Heafey reached engine house together. The firemen ‘e prompt in getting to the scene, but the sure of the water was 8o ridiculously light that it looked for a while as though the whole neighborhood would be burned out The water pressure was so weak that the firemen had. to use ladders to throw water to the roof of a story and a half cottage. Had there been any wind ali the adjoining buildings would have gone. All the windows on the north and west sides of Mr. Tanner's house were cracked from tie nieat, but the building did not take fife. The householl gccds were earried out of Mr, Conner’s res,- dence just eact of Dr. Everett and more or less damage was done in the moving. Dr. Everett and his wife barely had time to escape with their lives. The buildings were g0 dry that they burned like paper. A few small articles were carried out, but nothing of value was saved. The house was nicely furnished in every department and the doctor's loss will be about $1,200. He has $700 insurance on the household goods. Dr. Shafer lives over the grocery store. He and his wife and two children were awakened by the screams of neighbors who rushed out in their night clothing to give the alarm. They did not save anything. Even their clothing was ruined by the fire, smoke and water. His loss will be about $1,000, with $400 insurance. Charley Hinz carrics about a $5,000 stock of groceries. He has $3,500 insurance. The entire stock is ruined. . Casey owns all of the buildings, which were fully insured. On the Everett cottage he had $1,200 insurance and on the store building $§2,100 insurance, The origin of the fire is a mystery. It is quite evident, however, that it was the worlc of an incendiary. The police are work- ing on the case, but have no clew as yet. There was no possible way for the fire to start without being touched off by some person, .but no motive can be suggested. San s Version of 1t. There appears to be another story to the case from which grew C. M. Sanford's com- plaint against W. Slate for assault. Mr. Sanford and_his friends say he was not the aggressor. Mr. Slate, Mr. Sanford and two others were playing’ high five, when Mr. Slate became offended over what he believed were attempts to cheat on the part of one of the players. Mr. Sanford defended the accused, whereupon Mr. Slate is said to have allowed his irritation to cause him to make several ill-natured remarks concerning that gentle- man. This led to a_quarrel, when Mr. Slate, 50 it Is charged, picked up & four foot scant- ling and dealt Mr. Sanford a bad blow in the eye. minutes bef re fire was discovered the building at Twe store.

Although Mr. McCarten is 63 years old he had never been married, and hadn’t thought much about matrimony, but now he had come to a con- dition in life when he needed a helpmeet, so he advertised as follows JOHN M'CARTEN, aged 53 years.—I am going home to live on my farm; I have 100 acres of land, no debts or mortgages; per- sonal property; 12 miles from Hemingford, Neb. I want to marry a working Protestant girl if she suits me; stout and good looking, medium height, from 16 to 28 years of age; you must have as good a character as when you were nine years of age; must have $100 1 will not receive any letters.

His bent form and hardened hands tell of hard labor. He says he b worked in Philadelphi, Pittsburg, Boston and other places as a heaver of coal. For twenty years he saved his money when times were good, and spent as little as he could when they were bad. In this way he got together $900, with which he went west five years ago and took up a quarter section of government land. He put up the necessary improvements, and last fall, just about as the end of his $900 was reached, he got a clear title to the farm, and is now ready to work it—with assistance. “You can't work a farm without a team," he explained to the reporter, “and I haven't got any team. But I'm going to get one and Bo out there and raise a crop this fall.” Possibly the wily John had the team in mind when he put in the clause requiring a dowry of $100 of the favored maid who be comes his wife. Al day yesterday Mc- Carten sat in the sccond-story back room at 34 Third avenue and received applicants. ago John McCarten, who is now No one accepted the published invitation to interview him for six days, but there were several shorter consultations. In the fore- noon there were three applications, but none stood the fire of McCarten’s searching ex- amination. The standard set up is a high one, and he will be satisfled if he finds some- body within a weck. The first applicant was a typical Irish servant girl, and she had the requisite $100. McCarten gazed admiringly upon her strong arms and willing hands, as well as her rosy complexion, and for a time it looked as though he would be suited the first time trying. But a snag was struck when the religious schedule of qualifications was reached. The girl was a Catholic, and that settled it. McCarlen sighed as he dismissed her, but he is obdurate on the question of religion.

The third wasn't strong guough to suit, and that scttled her case. MeCarten wasn't discouraged by his poor success yesterday. ‘‘Maybe they might be just as good as better looking oncs,” he said, “but I'll wait for a few days before I de- cide. I must have a wife who is strong enough and won't be running up doctors’ bills. Three girls ain't many, but iU's good enough for the first day. They haver't had {ime to begin coming in from the country round about yet. I hope they will tomor- row. Country girls are good looking, ard they're strong, too. The hardest thing is (o find the right sort of girls that ein't Satholics. ‘There's no trouble about the money part. One of those girls today had $500, and I had a hard time getting rid of her, I tell you." Mr. McCarten portrait published, at least, the applications are in. Courtland h Notes.

There are chairs for every month of the year; this le for the summer of your discontent, when upholstered furniture is as hot as an oven, and the human body craves comfort. The chair is built on the lines of one of the *O1d Comforl” rockers of a century ago. The back is high and the armrests very broad. The seat is shaped to the body, and the whole framework is a veritable dream of comfort. The rockers are of the “long roll” pat- tern, giving the easy, slow, continuous mo- tion so much desired for a luxurious chair. The wood is elm which is hard and takes a very rich finish.
