SUFFERING LN NHtSltAXKA.
Georgia responded most liberally to
the call of the guttering people of Me-
bra ska for aid to relieving them from
the wilterlnga brought on by the twin
disasters of drought and blizzard. '1 Be
famine-stricken district lu Nebraska
comprises nme thirty counties In the
extreme western section of the state.
This locality iwus recently visited by
Stephen Crane, one of the most graphic
writers of the American press. His
article, ntilih has been sent to sev
eral of the leading papers u» «>“"•
try, tells a touching tale of the suffer
ing* of thftte peopln rturlnc the i>ast
year, Last July a wind from the South
f. i in. Its breath was hot and w.tbcr-
i liia like tlie Storm ot the desert. The
j fields of corn grow yellow and the
J trjps oa.vt their leaves a* on the com
ing of frost. All vegetation struggled
Tor existence and died. Crops gone,
the farmers were left without food or
lit. Tho weak ones grew weaker
■and cried aloud In tholr distress for
help from moro fortunate people, anil
one by ono the stronger ones who had
been minded to light out the ha it Id on
linen of self-dependence fell stricken
by the psiSS of unappcusfid hunger.
Then came a winter the severity of
which had never been equalled. Farm
ers without sulltclent clothing wad'd
through banks of snow to their waists
to deal out the meagre store of prov
ender to animals grown weak and thin
on starvation rations. Then came re
lief—and relief Is not always wisely
given. There were delay* on the part
of railroads that mado sick it ho hearts
of the starving men and their helpless
families. The relief ito aotne extent
• tvas shared by those wolves of hn,
nianlty who prey on tho sutrertng of
others. Supplies were sent to locali
ties where there was no suffering to
b$ divided out among these carrion
crows of civilization. Tho work of
I* P. Ltlddeo was what saved the suf
fering people. Today the most abused
man In Nebraska, he has sacritlced
moro for the sake of thoso sufferers
than any doien otbnr men In the ststo.
Ilo has cut off the undeserving and
distributed tho relief supplies whoro
they were needed, lie has worked
day and night and tho better condi
tion of tho sufferers Is due to hi* en
ergy. Mr. Ludden la chairman of the
special relief caumtsslon.
Mr. Ontne wrote hi* letter from Ed-
dyvllle, s typical fat-mug town, when
tho thermometer outside was eighteen
below Km and In his bedroom one and

WHOSE BAD BARGAIN T
The Telegraph ha* heretofore ex
pressed the opinion that the treasury
department, in selling 4 per cent, thir
ty-year bonds *t 1M 1-2, mado a very
bad birgaln. TWo fact was ap, irent
enough to everybody ns soon as the
term* of tho sale went made known,
and it any doubt had existed. !t would
have been removed by the course of
events since then. Men tumbled over
each other In London and New "York
to tray these same brads at 112 I’J.jni’
the market price for them. In jtTprob-
ability. wHI is a few weeks bo about
130. But while this la true, the male
tug of s trad bargain does not prove
that tho tnusury department was un
wise in selling the bond* at tho price
It did. at tho time when the bargiln
waa made. The statement made in the
senate by Senator Gray throws a great
deal of light on the situation In which
the tneaanry tfcmd Itself. Gold was
being drawn from the treasury at the
rata of about ten mIHiors a week.
The stoefc of It In the Leisure hail
been reduced to thirty live mllUat s,
tne part ot tnat stock in Now i rag
and Immediately available was only
nine millions, and on January 20 As
sistant Treasurer Jordan telephoned to
the treasury that he thought ‘be could
bold out until Katurtoy night.” All
this mean* that the tnusury was In t
dcaporate condition; that the clement
of time was even more Im
portent than the matter of
price In solving the problem with
which It found ttsolf confronted. The
Now York Evening Post is re doubt
entirely right when It says that under
these circumsatnoes ‘‘there was
time for prolonged negotiation*. If
bid* bad been invited for a further t+
*ne of 6 per cent, bonds, the first dan
ger would have been that the end of
tbu treasury gold would be In sight be
fore any bids would come In. Ike last,
In fact, was almost a certainty. The
first Issue of fifty tnllllou dollar* of 5
per cents. it la well known, waa barely
saved from failure. On the second is
sue of 'the same amount, the purchas
ing syndicate were out of pocket. Con
gress wtau standing like a lot of boys
playing with dynamite. No help iwaa
to be had from them. If ever there
waa an emergency In publio finance,
If over extreme measures and great
sacrificed were justifiable ito save the
public oredtt, the last 'week In January
was the time.”
It |g charged against the president
that by selling the bonds at 104 1-2
he caused a loss ito the taxpayers of the
country of four million dollars. On
the other hand, It may be said that
congress, by Its refusal to accept the
alternative bkl which the president se
cured from the? syndicate that took
the bonds caused the taxpayers
lose sixteen million dollars. If the
president made a bad bargain, cer
tainly congress made a very much
worse one. Congress refused to allow
the treasury to borrow at 3 per cent,
and compelled it to borrow at 3 3-4
because a majority ot Its members pre
ferred Hist tb« government Should fall
to meet Its obligations In the sense of
the contract made with Its creditors.
Tho president preferred to sacrifice
four million doHaru, after congress had
refused to sure sixteen m.Uion dollars
rather than allow the government to
fall In carrying out its contract. This
is s brief statement of the true situa
tion. It la to be regretted that a better
price atlas not obtained for the bonds.
The responsibility rests upon congress.
The determination of the president to
uphold the oredtt of the country, to
maintain the currency system on the
!d basis until ;ho people decree a
change to the stiver basis, will be ap
proved by the mas* of the people, uo
matter how bitterly he may be de
nounced by men who are ingry tie-
cause, In doing his duty, he frustrated
an attempt to revolut.onlze our finan
cial system without having been In
structed by the people or by congress
to permit such a revolution.
repeated that the TmirevseA stons was
in fact, as believed by the Atlanta peo
ple, Inferior to the Alabama stone.
Would the Constitution then ludst
that the contract be awarded to the
Tennessee people because their bid
was $18,000 lower, or would It side
with tha people of Its city and insist
that the building be constrained of the
best material available, even though
that material did cost $18,000 more.
We do not think there can bo any ques
tion as to what coume the Constitu
tion would pursue under these circum
stances. It would demand that the
wishes of the Atlanta people- be ro-
apoated and the beat material used.
Are not these ithe circumstances which
exist In Kansas Cfty? And If so, why
should Secretory Carlisle be accused by
a Damocrat.c piper of corruption In
offlee?
WISER THAN CONGRESS.
OONTBlAiDIOTS ITSELF.
In Its Issue of yesterday the Atlanta
Constitution says, editorially:
"If Georgia really had any influence In
that cabinet It does seem that B build-
in* material, approved and accepted by
the government experts, proffered with
a bid largely under any other that was
presented, would have been successful,
"The rejection of the Stone snountuin
granite bid for the Kansas City public
building can be explained upon only one
hypothesis—that there were political
debts to be paid, and the granite trust
has a pull. The administration waa too
free with Its patronage during the special
sviiwH of wiercw, in lurviug through,
the farcical repeal of the Sherman pur
chasing clause. There wae not a suffi
cient reserve fund maintained for the
contests of tho future, and when consul
ships give out It la the moat natrai thing
In th* world to turn to contracts.
•The Venable granite had the full ap
proval of tho government experts, and
the rejection could not have been on that
ground. Th* Vanabtn bhl was the lowest
In the hands of the* government, and Its
acceptance would have saved thousands
of dollars to th* pockets of the people."
Here Is s charge that the contract waa
awatded to the Tcxaa people as the
result ot s corrupt political trade, and
that the Veuable grau.te had the full
approval ot the government expert*.
In tbe Washington dlaputch from Its
special correspondent, printed In the
same Imue, the following appear*:
‘ Secretary Carlisle waa out ot the city
today, but ona of the offleiala In the
treasury department nearest to him mado
thla statement to mo: .Tto* secretary
could not sward the contract other than
he did. While the Oeorgta atone waa of
fered at a lee* sum than waa th* Tessa
sranlte, th* Kansas City board of trade,
Congressman Taraney, who rep
that district, and Senator Vest protested
bitterly against th* use of Oeorgta gran-
lta in th* building. They held that It had
not boon used In public building* in Oeor
gta, and they did not wont any aton* ex
perimented with In their building. Secre
tary CarllAs sent Profeaaor Merrill down
to Georgia to sxamln* this atone. He
reported that he would be perfectly wilt-
Ing to reoommend it tor some purposes,
but ho feared to recommend - Its use for
a permanent structure of th* character
of the We"— City building. He feared,
that In tlma, th* edges might crumble.
In view of thla report and the very vig
orous tight mode against It by th* Kan
sas City people, the secretary f*U that
he could not assume th* responsibility of
accepting the Oeorgta bid. He regretted
th* matter very much, but he could not
do otherwise than ho did."
Here Is the statement, first, that tbe
fight on the Venable granite was untlu
by the people of Ktnats City, who ere
more Interallied In tho charyter of the
building to be erected thru anybody
else, nnd second, that an • (port, Pro-
Merrill, was sent ty Georgia for
the purpose of examining the Venable
granite, and reported in a way that
made Its acceptance practically Im
possible. Instead of '.be Venable stone
having the approval of the govern-
meat exports, therefore, U was con
demned by that one of them whose
apodal duty M was <o pan upon it*
merits. It may be entirely true that
tbs expert made a mistako-w* hope
be did—but bts report certainly left
Secretary Carlisle in no position to
award tbe contra at to the Venables,
the fsoe of the bitter opposition of the
Kansas City people.
Suppose the building wen about to
be erected in Atlanta, instead of Kan
sas City, sod th* people of Attain* bit
tcrly opposed tbe use ot stone brought
from Tennessee tnd favored stone
brought from Alabama. Suppose, fur
ther, that the report of s government
expert, detailed for the special purpose
of examining into the question, bad
At Its recent session the Alabama
legislature had before It for determina
tion precisely the same question with
which congress baa been struggling
thla session. It la necessary to refund
a large parit of the state debt It is
possible to do this at a lower rate of
Interest If the new bonds shall prom
tse payment In “gold” than If payment
is promised In "lawful money." The
difference in the rate of Interest would
make u difference of about 4100,000
year in the tuxes paid by the people
of the state. At tint demagogy con
trolled the legislature, it refused To
permit the word gold to be Inserted in
the face of the bo fids. But afterwards
It thought better of this and the dttot
will be refunded in bonds wh ch prom
ise to pay sne same Kina or money
which is received for them—that is to
say, cold. The Alabama UwiaUtnro
was braver In doing this—more con
siderate of the interests ot tax payers,
and dess the Slave of demagogic op-
neats to popular prejudice—itt»n con
gress Is showing Itself to be. Nobody
seriously doubts that the bonds Issued
by Alabama -and those issued by tne
United States government will be paid
in gold, or money exchangeable for
gold In any market lu the world. If
It were otherwise, the bonds recently
Issued by Ithe federal government, pay
able In coin, could not be sold for
more than sixty cents on the dottar.
The low rate at which they were act
ually taken—about 104 1-2—was due to
the ftict that a certain faction in con
gress Is trying to make tnem payable
In silver. Nobody really believes that
this faction will be auocesstqt, but tne
public mind has been somewhat Im
proved by Its violence and ajagrewf vc-
ness, and therefore lenders discount ty
a small percentage tbe promises of the
government to pay in com. Tne
amount cf that discount 4s In prop r
tlon to the danger, as the people wh-
lood the money estimate It, of the free
silver cause being suoccvful. Accord
Ing to their figures. Its chances of suc-
amount to about seven In one
hundred.
