North Ppatte free silverites are evidently not in favor of a cam paign of education. sThe leaders of that party have advised their mem bers to stay away from republican meetings. . o Hoke Smith is now telling south ern democrats that party loyalty is paramount to all views of the money question. It was only a few short months ago that Bryan was telling everybody that devotion to free coin age was paramount to all party loy alty. Thepopocratic leaders might find It to advantage to hold a con-" ference and ge.t .together. Bee The democrats of Kentucky tried a silver candidate on a. gold plat form a year ago, and"flie" result is a republican governor in Kentucky. The democrats of New York are now trying a gold; , candidate for governor on a silver platform and the.result will be the same. The success of the republican ticket in New York is practically assured. Ex. Bourke Cockran, who was forced to return home from his stumping tour through the west owing to a disease of the throat, says that there will be a landslide for McKinley in the west as well as in the east.if not another campaign speech is de livered. State pride, he says, is the only thing that can prevent Nebraska from going against Bryan and even that, he ijhinks, will give way to patriotic duty. . Complaint was made to Gov. Holcomb Tuesday that six patients in the Lincoln Hospital for the In sane took part in the Bryan parade on the occasion of the notification by the silver committee. At the time .of the demonstration the charge was made that the populists ranks -were swelled by insane patients, all mounted, an'd one an epileptic. The charge was denied, but an evening paper' reiterates it, giving names and calling for an investigation. The Tribune is informed by men whose truthfulness is unques tioned that Bill Green, populist can didate for congess, was intoxicated when he made his speech at Sidney Saturday evening. Not only was he drunk that night but also on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and owing to his condition he was uh , able to meet appointments he had made in two towns in the west part of the state. A man who is so strongly addicted to whiskey as Green has -been in the past is mighty poor timber to send to. con gress. Dave Hill's little trick in having the popocratic convention of New York indorse the Chicago platform as one the most heavenly embodi ment of "the principles of the people" that ever was and then put the loudest ranting goldbug at the head of the ticket for governor he could find with cheek enough to accept the nomination lias failed. It was expected that this duplicity would fool the sound money democracy into quiescence. But the sound "money democrats decline the Thacher bait on the anarchist hook and will hold a convention ot their own and put- up a ticket on a sound money platform. Dave has lost his cuunlug. Ex. The outlook for republican suc cess in Nebraska is excellent, it is almost positive, yet no republican worker should take a furlough. The aggressive campaign must be waged up to the evening of election day. The greater the majority the greater the victory. Edward Atkinson, whose figures stand the test, says that more than three-quarters of the present pro duct of silver bullion of 175,000,000 ounces a year comes from mines be longing to British owners. Mr. Bryan promises to double the value of this British bullion by the stamp of American mints and with out asking the consent of any other nation on earth. It is not likely that he would have to ask a second time for the consent of the British silver banks. Paul Vandervort in a letter published in the Chicago Tribune last Monday makes a savage at tack upon J. H. Edmisten chair man ot Nebraska populist state committee and J. A. Edgerton, sec retary of the national populist com mittee. He says: "They are the most notorious fusionists and poli tical' pirates that ever scuttled a ship, and from Gov. Holcomb down to the most insignificant striker in that horde ot pie-eaters, they are all seeking office, and all conspir ing to betray the people's 'party. These men went to St. Louis on railroad passes and wore demo cratic badges. They not only sup ported Bryan but did all they could to force Sewall on the ticket. They then went back to Nebraska and made a deal vith the demo crats to deliver eight electoral votes of the state to Sewall. They are at this moment making on open and deliberate attempt to deliver the people's party bound hand aud foot to the ballot-box stuffing dem ocracy. I believe now is the time to take the democratic anaconda by the the neck and make it disgorge Sewall. The success of the whole movement demands it. The gal lant Tom Watson is the natural leader of the sacred sentiment of our part'. He is our candidate. I am proud to make a stand tor his full recognition and demand that Sewall be withdrawn and that Watson be given his rights. I spurn the infamous attacks of gal vanized democrats, pinchbeck pop ulists and political conspirators. If this be treason, make the most of it." Mr. Bryan will spend one Sunday at Mr Sewall's residence in Bath. Thl54S a rather pointed intimatiofn to Mr.- WaBdiistfiat Mr. Br$andbes not believe-in the Georgians ability to compel a show down in the mat ter of the tail of the ticket. As Mr. Bryan goes to Maine it will be Mr. Watson's turn to move unless he intends to jump the game. Ex. O Mr. Watson told the people in Denver that he greatly feared the electoral votes of Kentucky, Texas and' perhaps also of Tennessee would be lost to Bryan if the popu lists of Colorado and Kansas con sented to an arrangement throwing their votes to Sewall. Thomas could be a little more specific if he cared to be, but his hint is perhaps sufficiently broad to be understood even in Denver. Journal. A unique scheme is now, it is said, undergoing the process of elaboration as to detail by the Bur lington Road. The general object of the plan is the publication of a daily newspaper on the regular trains of the road, and it is believed that that object will have been accomplished before the end (jf the year. Special cars will be con structed which will be equipped with two linotypes, a complete stereotyping outfit, an improved perfecting press, and a compart ment especially arranged for the convenience of the editor and his staff. Light, heat and power will be furnished from the engine. News will be received by the usual railway telegraph system, and will be principally furnished by station agents, who are expected to make first-class reporters. The report of the Kansas irriga tion commission will soon be issued. It will give a complete summary of the investigations carried on over the whole of the western part of. the 'state to determine the best methods of finding and "using water to sup plement the rainfall. The commis sion has found 3,000 irrigation plants of various kinds in the state. Most of these are small, but not less than 20,000 people already find living from irrigated lands. The report will show that there is an immense amount of water in the state not yet utilized. Owners of lands in the subhumid belt will not be encouraged to attempt to water all of their tracts, but distinct en couragement will be -given to set tlers who wish to cultivate five or ten or fifteen acres. There is water enough for large numbers of these thorough and thrifty folk, and they ought to find the investment profit able. Jourual. Bryan and the Beqt Growers. And now we are told by the local Bryan organ that 90 per cent of the sugar beet growers of Pierce county will vote for Bryan. If this were literally true it would only show that the sugar beet growers of Nebraska are willing to abandon beet growing and go back to growing corn and oats. Nobody has tried to stab the beet sugar industry as persistently as has William Jennings Bryan and nobody has worked harder than he to give the foreign sugar beet grower preference over the American sugar beet grower. The best sngar producers of Germany, Austria, France and Belgium receive bounties ou all the sugar they export to the United States. But Mr. Bryau ia not willing to give the American sugar beet raisers any protection either in the shape of bounty or import duty, to en able them to compete in their own mar ket with the foreign prodnct raised by half-paid labor. Hr. Bryan's principle has been: "Buy in the cheapest, mar ket and let home industry take care of itself the best it can." The sugar beet growers of Nebraska know all this and that is one reason why they will not vote for Bryan. In voting against him they will only be carryiug out Bryan's own precept that they should cast their votes for their own interests. Omaha Bee. God Bless Rim For It, "Every Fiber of Ills Being Thoroughly American." Wheat Versos Money. In 18G7 the price of wheat ranged from 1.55 to $2.87 per bushel, and the per capita circulation of mouey in the United States was 18.28. In 1877 the price of wheat ranged from $1.01 to $1.76J per bushel and the per capita circulation of money was $15.58. In 1887 the price of wheat ranged from Gl! cents to 94 cents per bushel aud the per capita circulation of money was $22.45. In 1894 the price of wheat ranged between 50 cents and 65 - cents per bushel and the per capita circulation of money was $24.30. If more mouey is all that is needed tq iusure a better price for wheat, will some of the Bryanite .school of poli ticians bring their-ponderous intellects to bear, npon, these figures and explain how it) is that wheat commanded three '"times more money when the per capita circulation was from $15 and $18 than it does now when the per capita circu lation is about $23? N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. Tlio Disturbance Was Premeditated. Be it remembered that, Monday, Sep tember 14, 1890, in Omaha, A. D. Beemer met oue B. L. Metcalf, manag ing editor of the Omaha World-Herald, and that the said Metcalf, editor of the World-Heaild, then and there told the said Beemer: "You can go up to the Coliseum touight aud see a big crowd, but you will not hear Bourke Cockran." Aud now the same Metcalf in the same moribund orgau of dishonest debtors, denies the premeditated, organized rowdyism of the silverites which dis graced Omaha at the meeting Monday night, September 14, 1896. But Mr. Metcalf will be a loug time explaining how he came to make such a state ment. Nebraska City Press. Chop Them All in Two. I am speaking, fellows, sneaking all my days, aud mo3t my nights; never no one in creation chattered more o' peo ple's xigh s. That the way to make us wealthy, never noue so lully knew, is to take our present dollars aud to chop 'em all in two. That's the talk that I am talking through the laud and through my hat; me big Injun, William Bryan, from the wide and shallow PJatte. In dianapolis News. Cannot Mexlcantzo American Manhood. I can tako the dollars of my country into every gold standard nation of the earth and I nan buy as much in any home store of those countries as the most privileged citizen of the commu nity can buy with the dollar his govern ment gives him for use. I can tako the dollars of my country into every free silver coinage nation of the world Mexico, China, Japan, South America, wherever you please and I can buy twice as much at the homo store as the most privileged citizen of the locality can bny with the best dollar his govern ment gives him for use. I do not care to exchange my privileges with any man who is ready to give me two of his dollars for one of mine. I do not care to go across the line into Canada, as the Mexican come? across the line into the United States, with an apology for his 50 cent dollar. I do not wish to see the Goddess of Liberty placed upon a de preciated coin. When we put tho Amer ican eaglo on a piece of metal wo ought to put him there with every tail feather spread, rampant for tho glory of his country. We cannot afford to Mexican izo American manhood, American nius clo or American money. Senator John M. "thurston. Would Contract the Currency. Independent free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold would insure tho speedy con traction of the volume of our currency. It would drive at least 500,000,000 gold dollars, which we now have, permanent ly from the trade of the country and greatly decrease our per capita circula tion.
