Bepublicans should bear in mind tbnt a United State's senator is to ba chosen by the next legielaturo, and that, as llio means of securing a republican United State's senator, tho legislative ticket of this county Bbould bo uuanimouely supported, even though the voter has some personal objections to this, that or tho other candidate for tho legislature. The men named lor the legislature are all good representative men. A. W. Reed for State Senator, is a . m t!l!A t man ol acknowledged aiumy, largely identified with the material interest of the county, a man who understands the wants and needs of the country. He is thus well fitted for the position he will no doubt fill in the next legislature and ho may bs relied on to vole for a good and able republican for the United States senate. Hon. J. T. Bridges of Drain is also a representative man, whoso interests aro involved in the material wellfaro of Douglas coonty. He is a reliablo man as well ai a responsible one, and with all an able.iuati of some legislative experi ence, lie is deserving of every republi can' support. Hun. G. W. Kiddle is also a staunch republicau, and a man whose interest as business man of long experience both as a farmer and fruit grower and of con siderable experience as a legislator, peculiarly tit him for a representative. A. 51. Crawford of Boieburg, for rep resentative, is a prominent attorney of this city, a man of ability, honesty and integiity, just such as fills the Jefferson ian standard for office. No republicau will regret supporting him. He will also win votes from the opposition. D. It. Sharabrook, republican norcinco for sheriff, is. gaining political strength cyery day. The Review's "gag" on him proving a boomerang. Mr. Sbaui- brook is a young man, born, reared and educated in Douglas county. He is act ive, energetic and persevering, and if elected as he will be Le will make an efficient sheriff who will raudnct the business to the satisfaction of all. No good republican will refuse to vole fur Dave. J. H. Shupe, nominee on the republi can ticket for county clerk, is conceded by nil to be couielent for the position, and his standing as a man, where known and neaily everybody knows his is an &;scr.ince of hi3 Otuers for tho place. Ho will be r.exV .eojyity clerk if cpublicans nil! do thuir duty. His competitors concede this inmb, and are trying tocaptuic republican votes. In that they will fail, however. THE POPULIST PARTY. The meulers of this party, ne Mill al low, arc as gxxl men and as honest a? are those who belong to other parth. We will admit, too, that there is some reasonable excuse for their existence. These men obcerve certain facts, relative to currency, existing under the republi cau and democratic administrations of the government. Observing this they attribute the cause to those parlies' man agement. The same lino of argument was used by the now defunct greenback party. They take a coincident for a cause. Thus the act of demonetization of silver in 1S73, they say, is the cause of tho bard times, and refer to the decline in the price of bullion silver as proof of it. Thus mistaking a coincident for a cause. The fact is, silver bullion had been de clining for years before the act of 1S73, and now, twenty-threo years since that act was pabsed, silver bullion has ad vanced in value from 53 cents jer ounce in 1S95 to OS cents with no legislation favorable to such appreciation. The fact is the decline ami advance is all owing to the supply aud demand for sil ver. For a few years prior to 1S73, tho in creased facilities for mining by improved machinery bad caused an enormous out put of silver. As a consequence tilver bullion was on a declino and couliuued to decline, till 1S95 when it was down to 33 cents per ounce. Now it has ad vanced to OS cents per ounce, and fc'.ill advancing. Why adyanco il the act of 1S73 was the cause of its decline, without any favor able legislation, is the question wo would like some populist to answer. Note the fact. Silver has declined from $1.30 in 1S59 to $1.32 iu 1S72 bo fore the "crimo of 1S73," and has row advanced from .33 in 1S95 to .03 iu less than ono year, an advance of 15 cents in a few months, without any favorable legislation. Since the Cuban war began tho colon ial debt of tho island has been increased by $305,000,075. Tho previous debt was $103,551,050, making a total of $I0S,552, 025. The idea that the island can be in duced to stagger along peaceably under this burden is peculiarly Spanish, which is to say harsh and uiistatcsiuaiilike. The Western farmers are now busily engaged in planting one of the largest areas of corn on record, with tho etiiiiu latiujj assurance that tho big Bepubli can victory of next November will bring them good prices for tho crop. Cailislo aays he will refrain from set-king llio democratic nomination, and all tho others Eocm to bo joining in tho "refrain." TELEGRAPH NEWS A Treasury Deficit. Washixqtox, April 20. Tho treasury deficit for the fiscal year ending Juno 80, 1890, will bo approximately $23,000,000. This is the opinion of officials and others best qualified lo mako un intelligent es- mato of the result of the fiscal operations of tho year. In his annu.tl estimate sent to congress at the beginning of the present session, the secretary of the treasury estimated tho receipts from the customs during the Cecal year at $172,000,000. So far, with nearly 10 months of the year gone, the customs receipts have reached about $137,000,000, with a fair creasing to $105,000,000 prospect of in by the close of tho year. The estimate of tho receipts from in ternal reyenuo sources was $153,000,000. Up to this time they haye reached $120, 0C0.0CO, and it is expected the figures for the completed year will be about $140, 000,000. Tho receipts from miscellane ous sources are expected to exceed the estimates of $15,000,000, making the total receipts for the year about $327,000, 030. The secretary'6 estimate for the year's expenditure was $302,000,000, which, ac cording to his figure?, would leave a de ficiency of $17,000,000. The actual ex pjnditures, however, it is now thought, will aggregate about $352,000,000, or $10, 000,000 less than Mr. Carlisle's estimate in December last, so the deficit at the close of the year, it is believed, will not show any very material chacge from Saturday's figtiree, $25,162,423. This makes the total deficit for the the three fiscal years, ending June 30, 1SIH3, $130, S51.S12. The secretary's estimates nl tho time they were made were belii ved by those of long experience in the department to be extremely conservative. The receipts from both customs and internal revenue sources, however, have been surprisingly low, and then does not seem to bo any immediate prospect of material improve ment. Kansas' Last Cyclone. Co.Ntoimu, Kan. April 27. The cy clone which swipt through this section cf the state Saturday evening, was prob ably ono of the most severe that Kansas has ever experienced. Its path was aboUt 4C0 feet wide and extended fully 20 miles. It formed about 7 o'clock Saturday evening near the little town of St. Joseph, in theeastcrn part of Cloudy county, and passed in a northe.isterly dircction through the northern part of Clay and prolxibly into the southern end of Washington county. Fortun ately it struck no towns, but its course was through a thickly settled portiou of the Iicpublican valley. Houses and barns were lifted into the air and dashed back to the earth. Trees were uprooted and broken, and everything i'i its track destroyed. The rir.-t victims were Eli Belthazar and his wife, living about a mile east of St. Joseph. The family were just pre paring to took refuge in the cellar when the storm struck. The six children were all more or les3 seriously injured and it is thought two of them will die. About a mile further cast the home of Julian Tromblv was destroyed anil he was killed. The greatest loss of lile occured south of Clifton some six miles. Two farmers, E.K. Parson and J. S. Haines, were killed as were a number of others, whose names could not be learned. At one place a .woman and a child were killed, and at another a 5-year-oM boy The body of the latter has not yet been found. The number of killed and of those win have died from their injuries, is repotted to bo five, but the list will doubtless be increased. About 25 per sons are said to have sustained serious mpries. Uver u lammes were ren dered homeless by the storm. The suf fering of those injured was rendered greater by tho severe hail and rain that closely followed the cyclone. Complete Independence. Nov York, April 27. A World dis faclh from Havana says: General Weyler's offer lo pardon all insurgent leaders who turronder with their arms in Fiuar del Bio within 20 days was published in the hope of weak ening General Maceo. But the rebel commander knows that his biother, Joee, is on the other side of tho trocha with OJOO niou. Ho also knows that Gcno-als Gomez and Calixto Garcia are organizing commands in Puerto I'rinjipo to relieve liiiu. General .Maceo will never surrender. He semis woid to Havana that he will cross the trocha when ho is ready, and that tho immense Spanish army along tho Inrrier cannot compel him to mako tho assault until tho nslit day arrives. It is eaid that General Macco is deliber ately waiting in I'inur del Uio in order to keep one-third ol tho whole Spanish aiiny idle at the western extremity of Cuba, whilo Gomez, Calixto, Garcia and other commanders organize an army and thoroughly drill their commands in tho central and eastern provinces. Hven now a minor reaches hero that a largo town in the east nas been taken, but minors uio abundant, and trust worthy facia aro m:;ucc. It is certain, I however, that the power ol tho insurgents in the east is increasing daily and that General Maceu'n heroic posiiiou in tho western hills is part of n great strategic campaign. General Weyler looks upon the trochn as the key to tho war. He has mado this belief very plain. It ha3 been said, and it is generally belioved by the Spanish leaders, that General Gomez and other commanders would make terms for peace, but for General Macco and his fierce negro fol lowers, who will consent to nothing but complete and unconditional independ ence. The captain-general believes that if General Maceo is conquered now the war will end in a few months. Melquizo's Butcheries. Key West, Fla., April 27. A letter from Havana, dated April 25, says : While Delgado, the American, is slowly convalescing from the wounds in flicted on him by Spanish soldiers under General Melquizo's bidding several weeks ago, the brutal Spanish officer is still butchering people in Havana prov ince. Although official investigation shows that Melquizo is guilty of all the charges against him, be has not been suspended from his command. He is said to possess enough influence in Mad rid to make it exceedingly uncomforta ble for any superior officer who might endeavor to bring iiim to punishment. News received here tells of his conduct during tho past two weeks. Near Campo, Florida, so the information runs, Melquizo arrested nine psaceable countrymen and by bis orders they were killed. At ilinas,.19 "'pacifocos" fell it to his clutches and were shot. Near Baibo he razed 10 farms acd gathered in 10 laborers who were killed iu cold blood. Tho most horrible phase of tho last butchery is the fact that women and children were among tboe massacred. In tho vicinity of Juaraco, ilelqutzo or dered the slaughter of 47 persons iho were taken from nelds where tuey were at work. In Melquizo'ti territory the people are flocking to UaVana to escape him. An Informal Proposal. t CuiCAuo, April 20. The Times-Her aid's Washington special says : Lord Salisbury uow haa before him for consideration an informal proposition from I'residunt Cleveland for a treaty of general arbitration of all matters in dis pule between the United States and Great Britain, and of all disputes between either of these powers and any power in which the good offices ot the other gov' eminent has been tendered. The mean ing of this is that the president has offered to the British premier a general scheme of arbitration designed to em brace the Venezuela question, but with out reference thereto by name, thus affordiiig a method in which Lord Salis bury insy easilv reach a settle of that vexing dispute without too directly hum bling his pride. To this proposal, made some time ago, after a series of fruitless negotiations along other lines, no reply has as jet been received. Sand is Healthful. Some time ago when an item went the rounds of the pi ess about tho large num ber of bow-legged children in Cincinnati, it was sucgested that sand piles should be provided for the children to play in The sand pile idea has been adopted, not only for the bow-legged children but for all the little tots, and promises to be carried to a uovel extent. Many of the school vards liave no.v in one corner large piles of sand in which the little tots roll and plav to their heart's con tent. Caro is taken to provide clean sand securnd from one of the bars in tho Ohio river, aud it i3 changed often enough to make it perfectly healthful. It is declared to ho the healthiest thing possible for children 'o play in, aud some doctors haye advised the making of mud pies as a regular prescription for puny young sters. They say there is nothing like contact with Mother Earth, that if the children do not get healthful sand or dirt to plav in thev will wallow in the gutter or yards aud b coutamiuated with all sorts of disease germs.
