A Plain Statement.
In tlio face of the statement by democratic and populist
newspapers that Mr. Thompson is not and never has been
a railroad attorney, republican newspapers continue to as
sert that Mr. Thompson is a railroad attorney.
The following letter printed in the Crete Democrat is
self explanatory:
Grand Island, Neb., July 3. Mr. C. J. Howlby,
Crete Neb. Dear Sir and Friend: I received yours
of the 2d inst. with the clipping from the Sterling
Sun of July 1. Do you know I never could under
stand why some men will deliberately state a thing
as a fact, which is derogatory to another man's char
acter, without knowing anything about it. Men do
this who would not for the world steal a penny from
him, and yet without hesitancy, they attempt to steal
from him that which is worth more than all the pen
nies that could be accumulated. 1 am not now, and
never have been at any time engaged by any rail
road corporation, either directly or indirectly, as at
torney or otherwise, and never rccicvcd one cent
of fees. I noticed a squib of the same kind, purport
ing to have been clipped from some Sioux City, la.,
paper, printed in ycstcrday'B Lincoln Journal. A
lawyer's life, in a professional way, is an open book,
hence, 110 one need go misinformed in regard to it.
Thanking you for calling my attention to the same,
I am, your's truly,
W. H. Thompson.
Mr. Thompson's statement is plain and emphatic and
the republican editor who, in the face of this statement,
insists upon charging Mr. Thompson with being, a railroad
lawyer, simply goes upon record as being wholly indiffcrnt
concerning his reputation for veracity. World-Herald.

WILLIAH MITCHELL,
ATTORNEY
AT LAW.
After ten days of strife and turmoil, and cutaling an
estimated loss 0 $10,000,000 upon the business men of
Chicago, the freight handlers of that city have surrendered
and returned to work. There wore Judascs in their camp
and no other alternative was left the strikers.
The Fremont Tribuno takes the pains to say that
"There is a Corkish flavor about tho name of Patrick H.
Barry, tho fusion nominee for congress in tho Sixth dis
trict." Wo presume the Tribune would say that there is a
Parisian flavor about tho name of ''Mickey," tho republican
nominee for governor of tho state of Nebraska. World
Herald. ,-lri.u.l--l
The. Maine clenlocrats propound a question that must
ho interesting to Chairman Babcock. They want to know
why tho "'steel trust" should be charging Maine shipbuild
ers S1.G5 for material which it is selling to British builders
for 95 cents. Our republican contempory, the Hartford
Courant, referring to that inquiry from the democracy of
Maine, says: "It is a pertinent question and a homo ques
tion. A wiser republican congiess, a more piudeut repub
lican congress would not have given tho Maine dcmociats a
rh.tnce to ask it." Wo aro confident that Mr. Babcock
agrees with the Courant as to the unwisdom and impru
dence of congiess in this matter. Washington Post.
Tins is tho way the Lincoln Daily Post puts it and it
sounds like we ourselves had written it: "Of one tiling
the Post is proud. Nebraska has a supremo court which is
not afraid to do business. When tho railway attorneys
weic urging a leferec in tho railway mandamus suit and
when "one side was afraid and tho other da's't," that court
took all strings off everybody and said: "Put in all the
evidence you have, or think you have. This court knows
what is competent and relates to the case, and such as is
incompetent, irrelevant, immaterial and all balled up we
will not consider, but hurry up. This is no time for tech
nicalities, when we are taking original jurisdiction." Even
the railway attorney took a tumble and the trial of the
most important case ever before the supreme court was
concluded in three days. Let us thank God for a court
which has horse sense."
Uncle Sam, Engineer.
Before many months the cartoonist will be putting
Uncle Sam into an engine cab, hands on the throttle and
long coat tails flying out over the tender. Your undo is
going to nm a railrsad all his own. As soon as the title of
the French Panama company to its ditch and railroad at
the isthmus is cleared up and Colombia consents to a
treaty, the president is authorized to buy the whole outfit.
And then Uncle Sam will make his original experiment in
government ownership and operation of a railroad. It is
not a long raihoad, this Panama line. It is forty-sevqn
and a half miles in length. It couldn't be any longer with
out sticking out oer the ocean at one or both ends. But
this railroad makes up for its lack of length by its width.
Its gauge is five feet. Your Uncle Samuel proposes to run
tins railroad without the aid or consent of anv other nation.
Omaha Daily News.
Brvan is dead and Bryanism a thing of the pait, say
the whoopers-up of the g. o. p. Yet the president of the
United States has been appealed to and has accepted the
appeal to tour through Nebraska this fall and make speeches
in order to prevent the state from deserting the false colors
to which it pinned its faith two years ago. Doesn't look
like these apologists for kingly rule, for caste, for blue blood,
for a titled aristocracy, beleive in the truth of their asser
tions. If Bryan is dead, why urge the president to prosti
tute his high office by stooping to stump the state? Bryan
isn't dead, nor is Bryanism a thing of the past. Wait until
after the Ides of next November, and then tell us that Bryan
is dead; that railroad dictators, masquerading in the guisb
of legitimate suffragists, have become masters of the situa
tion; that the common people have surrendered their birth
right; that corporation rule is supreme; that never again
shall the fair name of Nebraska be redeemed. Yes, tell us
all this when the votes are counted next November, if the
result justifies it; but don't tell it to us now.
Railroad managers are complaining that their new fast
trains are not paring out, except in advertising the road's
enterprise. This ought to bcfollowed by a plea from the
tax bureau for exempting from taxation all the high speed
locomotives, palatial trains and improvements of roadbed
to facilitate fast time, on the ground that they are an ex
pense to the road rather than property which increases its
value. Omaha Bee.
Gr.N. Jacoh II. Smith, author of the kill and burn"
order in the Philippines, has been found guilty and sen
tenced to be "admonished by the reviewing authority."
Roosevelt has "admonished" the gentleman and retired him
from active service. ,
The unequaled gainencbs and daring of the outlaw, Tiacy,
who for the past ten days has battled the efforts of a thous
and bloodhounds in Oiegon and Washington to captuio him,
ccitainly entitles him to consideration if he should bo appre
hended later on.
