IP WHEAT doesn't quit going up while silver goes down in the face of the Bryan philosophy, there i going to be trouble ahead. The idea or en joying prosperity under a gold stan dard is another eroat wrong that should bo righted. Since Bryan's defeat the Nebras kans have paid oil indebtedness to the extent of $28,00u,000. There is noth ing the matter with Nebraska except that tho pops hypnotized it into think ing itself ragged, penniless and crooked. Globe-Democrat. Fusion has fizzled in Iowa, and before the mongrel county ticket here is a week old, the clearest headed men in all parties will realize that it is a dismal failure in Cass, except as a disrupter of political parties which en gage in it. Among a class of brass collared edi tors a good deal of slobbering over Judge Post is going on just now well calculated to make the luyraun sick at his stomach. By all mean?, if the republican party has no better timber, nominate Post, and then note what will happen in November. If ji real juri.-t, clean, ahluand above reproach, were nominated, he would be elected. The name of Frank D. E:iger of Lincoln, secretary of tho last house of the legislature, was at Srst coupled with Schwind's as ono of a pair of Schwindlers, but his skirls seem to be clear. His salary grab was so modest as only to emphasize the rich haul made by his colleague at the senate end of tho legislature. Schwind's confidential relations with Mr. Bryan didn't seem to improve him. Fremont Tribune. The disinclination of Nebraska peo ple to trust banking institutions hav ing led them to invest largely in state warrants and this fact naturally rais ing the price, it was seized upon by the state administration as an evidence of its superior wisdom and financial acumen. Now that the records show the people of this state have paid off about $28,000,000 or indebtedness in the last three years, wo await with in terest the appearance of the claim that this restored con Gdenco or pros perity or what ever it was, had it9 in ception in the belief of the people of Nebraska that a populist administra tion was coming into power. Lincoln News. SOME of the populists for revenue only, whose real political faith is de mocratic, are criticising Milo S. Briggs of this city for steering the populittt craft and stealing a treasurer. Mr. Brings is one or the cleanest, squarest men in that party, and was not a member of the populist confer ence committee at all. Ho has been an organizer and worker for the pop ulist ticket for years and it is but natural that he should desire the nomination of Geo. Shrader for treas urer. The esteem in which he was held by his own party associates was shown by the unsolicited and unani mous nomination which the conven tion gave him for tho office of county clerk. This paper will treat Mr. Briggs as well as other opposing can didates, fairly but that will not inter fere with our hearty and zealous support of the republican nominees. The fusion tournament at Weeping Water yesterday was almost farcical in it deliberations. Party pride, rest ing in the history of political organ izations, and party principles were brushed aside as of little moment, and every element was subserved in a mad scramble for office. The flesh-pots be came political lodestones from which the leaders seemed unable to draw themselves, and the result is'a ticket, viewed in the calm afterthought of the convention, that pleases no ele ment of the melange that sought to do too mjch. The better judgment of the democrats is that they were out classed in the fusion deal, and are left to hold the sack. The populist who has taken pride Id his party's triumphs feels that a cheap surrender of prin ciple has been made with no coin pen sating gain. The. e are noeuthusiasts for the ticket anywhere. It is marked for defeat, and that too by . one of the most decisive majorities ever given in this county. . POPULISTS SELECT A TICKET. The con-fusion ticket is headed by George Shrader for treasurer a good citizon and a pieasant gentleman George was" an old-time greenhacker who believed in H it money and he lost no time, in getting into the populist ranks when tho theory of making a dollar out of 50 cents worth of silver was first espoused. Next to L. G. JVeld and Uncle Dan Foster, Mr. Shra der is supposed to be overstocked with poiv.n wheeli that refuse to turn. Billy"VTfaeeIer for sherfff fs the only true blue, all-wool democrat that wan nominated on the ticket. Hilly is w7 I ,n.bo. o rt. sheriff. For recorder Oscar AL. from Wa -- C7 bash, will make tho race. M. S. Briggs, for-county clerk in a canablo man and will only lark ore thing or being a good clerk, and that is votes. John fvyda, for county judge, serins to have been noroinatod to pro vent Judge Spurlook's election being made unanimous, but even in that ho may fail. John Sattlcr, the nominee for coro nor, is a good fellow and has several democratic symptoms though the World-Herald says ho is a populist,' nd the World-Herald ought to know. Vnt- superintendent of schools, of, course tne aemocraia were suon vi . . - . , . tin. bor, everybody knows that, and John Barge, a life-long republican, was picked up because he favored free silver' and wanted the office. Our schools must be pluced on a silver 10 to 1 ba&is right away, and John has been selected as tho boy to do it. For commissioner, J. P. Falter has earned a renomination and ho got it without opposition, and that is the ticket in its entirely nominated at Weoping Water yesterday, to bo de feated as wo believe next November. INFORMATION AND O l'INIONS. The rain at Union yesterday after noon was one of the heaviest that ever visited that section of country in fact, it was almost whftt could bo called a cloudburst. The rain descended in torrents, filling all the draws, the creeks were out of the banks, and tho low lands weie overflowed. A great deal of corn was beaten into th: ground. Nebraska City News. Tho only drawback to the Epworth assembly now in session at Lincoln park seems to b-3 the unexpected amount of success attending this first meeting. It was found diflicult to pro vide for all of the applicants ror piaces on the opening day, oil. nil were aec-.ni mod ated ar.d there is am ple rom for all coin rrs in lha great park. The assembly pi oui!s s to be a source of recreation- and refreshment to many thousands of Nclr,ikaiis. State Juurnul. The let news tho friend- of Mr lirvaii have received lor some Umt3 is the announcement that Debs and his followers havo thrown over the boy orator. They are for socialism straight and the Nebraska phenomenon will not do for their idol. Ex. The lepublican county central com mittce will meet at Weeping Water tomorrow in order to call the county convention and Ox time of primaries and place and time of convention. The way trains are run, Louisville is the most accessible town in tho count and as the convention has not been held there for vears, we hope it will be the point selected. Texas can give conclusive proof or its rapid advancement in school stnlis tics. It spends now !H,iJUO,ihhi a year for schools, or more than four times is much as in 1881. It? one ' hiyU schoel of that year has grown to 40S, and its university, which was not then in exis tence, has 752 students and forty-ireven professors. Ex. Those are crocodile tears free trad ers are sneaaing over ine new auiy collected on passonget s returning f r-in Europe. Each passenger is allowed $100 worth of baggage from duty, and need pay nothing il he buys his cloth ieg in America. II he lays in a large supply abroad he is exactly the right person to encoutitor the protective idea. The popocrats feel blue in Iowa, tired in Kentucky and useless in Massachusetts. It is only in Ohio that they aro claiming everything, as they dance around a bar'l. Ex. One man writes from tho upper Yu kon that the chief food in that region is bear fat, and that to chaniro the clothintr in winter means death. How the bears get fat is not explained. One of Andree's critics doubts if his balloon will remain afloat more than three weeks. If that is tho minimum the aeronaut's chance of getting back is good. Ex. Advices from abroad confirm the reports that tho groat grain-producing sections of the world outside of the United States are having light crops this year, while ihe prospects ol un usual yield in-the United States makes it now certain that the farmers will find the year 1897 an unusually pro perous ono. E:. Gold has gone to a premium of 125 in Mexico, where silver is tho stan dard and a favor product. Professors of silver have stopped pointing te Mexico as an object lesson. Ex.

A few nights ago she was in such pain that she was nearly crazy She sent Mr. Rowland for the doctor but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and instead of going ror the physician he went to the store and secured a lwttle of it.

Thoy are taking out in gold ore $1CO.OOO a month. After sinking the shaft, Manager Salzburg drifted out, and the miners are now ZiGO feet under ground, and lifting ore day and night. A forty-stamp mill, ninety-five strokes to the-minute, and a 9o0-pound stem also keeps going tho year' round, day and night, unceasingly. Tho com pound Corliss engine has a 42 inch stroke and a 28-inch low-pressure cylinder. Another shaft is being sunk west of north of the Salzburg shaft by the Esperanza people, and It is down 130 eet, wilh identical ore indications. The camp at the Salzburg shart is rrom 9,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level. Texas Oil I-rikU. Corsicana, Texas, Aug. 5. Two more oil wells were completed re cently, and are developing a heavy flow of crude petroleum, aggregating for tho two wells about 150 barrels per day. There are now thirteen flowing wells in tho oil district, whose output approximates ouii oarreis, and a aozen more wells aro under contract. The oil is almost tho same as the Pennsyl vania product, and tho success of the new wells indicatesihat the supply is permanent. The wells, with two exceptions, are int-ido the corporate limits, and the two large companies are engaged in developing the - ficds, one having 50, 000 and the other about 30,000 acres of land under lease for tho purpose. Senator R. Q Mills owns 1000 acres in what is pronounced to bo the richest portion of tho oil tei ritory. A Valuable Itelic.

Jim Thomas has a heart as large as an apple dumpling, and when he started to take his family into a side show this afternoon, he offered the right chance, but the fa Kir who sells tickets wanted a bill. Jim, to accom modate him, then gave him a $5 bill. and in two minutes time Jim was flim- flammed to tLe Queen's taste. He found on taking an inventory of his assets that he h.;d but $1 left oui of his five, which is all tho chancre ho got back. Ho demanded the return of hia money, but the shark wanted tho amount credited to Jim's experi ence account, and refused to eturn another cent.

NEWSPAPER MAKERS THE MAGNETISM THAT THERE IS IN THE PROFESSION. rhy Crusoe Didn't Print a Paper Edwin Arnold's Love of. the Calling Chauneejr Depew and Ilia "Jollies' A Tired lot of Reporter!!. I like to brag about newspaper men who have done good work because the tnen themselves don't like it. For one newspaper man to chant the praises of others of his craft is considered "taboo," and tho very fact of its being tabooed makes it exceptionally tempting at times, so frail -are we all. The proper professional attitude for a newspaper man according to convention is that of being always slightly bored and of hating above all things to see his own or another newspaper man's name iu print. As to being in love with his pro fession well, that's all right for a new hand just from college, but now ratsl Don't you believe a word about news paper work making genuine newspaper men tired. They couldn't keep away from it if they tried. If Eobinsou Cru soe had been a newspaper man, he would have printed a flaily edition of the Juan Fc-uandcz Castaway in blunt stick type on tHfc sand in front of his hut every momingmd got out an extra when ho raptured Friday. And it must be that age and rank and station den t Ftrve to benumb this feel ing. When Sir Edwin Arnold happeued to bo in St. Louis a few years ago, a sudden crisis in India Russians and Englishmen glarirg at each other nerosa the lugged eretts of the Pamirs, the "Rcof of the World" made an inter view with hini of especially timely valne. It csiujo into my day's woik to see him, and at the close of tho inter view he fell to talking about the inci dental phases of a possible Russo-Enj-lisli war.

The fiiFt and only time I ever saw Dr Depew was at the Republican national convention of 1892 in Minne apolis, whither Dr. Depew repaired as one cf the "Rig Feci" cf that Aery lively convention.

It was the nipl.t of flie great anti-Cleveland light made by Tammany in the last ditch; the night when Bourke Coekrau made the great est speech of his life; the night when each an orator as Daniel of Virginia was hooted from the platform because the convention was actually too ex hausted to listen; the night wheuCleve land was nominated. With one recess, if I am not mistaken, the convention remained in session from 10 o'clock one morning nntil 4 o'clock the next. It was a crucial session, too, and kept correspondents on the alert every mo ment. "Bourke Cockran's Bpeech against Cleveland was made about 2:30 in the morning, and a dying man wonld have been forced to listen and thrill at its eloquent invective and masterly sar caFin. But after that came tho awful slump of utter weariness. When the convention adjourned, day had brokeu over Chicago and the streets were gray in its early light. White faced and limp, the corps of special correspond ents almost staggered out and made their sleep blind way to their respect ive hotels. Tired? Yes, but it was as a soldier is tired iu the trenches. A few hours' sleep anel the fight would be re sumed us gallantly as ever. R. D. Saunders in St. Lonis Republic. Woodcock Eggs.
