TliK Nebraska City News says Bur
kett has endorsed the Ga?e bill. Bur
kett has done nothing of tho kind,
and the fledgeling who said so, knew
he was lying with the intention of de
ceiving voters into supporting Mana
han, the Minnesota candidate for con
g ress,
THE chairman of the popocralic
meeting at Weeping Water intro
duced Manahan to the audience with
the remark that ho was like a frog
you couldn't tell how far he could
jump by the looks of hini. The audi
ence was nuick to see the funny side
of his resemblence to the frog, and re
sponded with loud guffiws.
Justices Gray, Shires and White of
the supreme court of the United States
could not get from under the corpora
tion collar long enough to decide a
clear case against the freight traffic
association, but the other inambers of
this supreme tribunal had no difficulty
in writing an able opinion which pre
serves the rights of the people.
Switzerland is about to follow the
example set by Belgium and Hollaed
in the nationalization of its railways
The Severs railways consist of live
principal systems and aggregate 2578
kelometsrs or about 4390 miles. It is
proposed to issue bonds running sixty
years and to use the net revenue in
the Diivment of the same. The
charters of the companies are such
that the state is permitted at anj- time
to purchase the roads, but must not
pav less than the capitalized value of
the road.
Go to the republican platform if
you want to know the creed of faith
and the guiding star of the republican
party, but where will you find tho dec
laration of principles of the popo-
cratic nartv? The aims and acts of
the democratic and populist parties
are as wide apart as the poles of the
earth; the attempt to meet upon
a common ground of a division of
offices degrades each party to tho com
pact and in the end will bring them
down combined to a bed r.iggled minor
ltv incapable of existence, except to
point a moral and adorn a tale.
TriE scene enacted in tho city of
Pans during the last two davs does
not indicate that the French people
as a nation, nave made much progress
in civilization during the last one
hundred vears. Such scenes as the
last few days have witnessed will not
tend to favorably advertise the great
exposition which they expect to have
in Paris in 1900. It is to be hoped
such acts, characterized by so little
respect for the law, may not go tf.
make up the history of the younf
republic any more.
TxiE election of Judge Hay ward
seem to be a sure thing. The re
publican state committee is convinc- d
that he will win by a . handsome
majority, and that the balance of the
ticket will go in with him. Judge
Hayward has made a splendid enra
paign, and wherever ho has appeared
his speeches have stirred up enthus
1 ism and converted doubters. He
will be the most able governor that
the state hps had for a long time, and
the reforms instituted by him will be
genuine reforms, and not the hippo
drome article. Beatrice Express.
OUR townsman. It. A. Dittmar, re
publican candidate for float represen
tative ia making a very dignified and
gentlemanly canvass over the district
and is meeting with much encourage
ment, "Word comes lo us from many
quarters that his candidacy is very
popular with the voters generally and
that is attracting new friends to him
daily. It ia evident that Mr. Dittmar
will receive a handsome vote In Cass
county, while in this county his ma
jority will surprise many. His pros
pects far election are very bright and
we confidently believe that when the
votes are counted be will be delared
tho winner.- Nebraska City Press.
i HE DUTY OF PATRIOTS.
in purport" of tliu democratic
'i iti the United States is to
i .') .rras tho national administration
.v iiiuch as possible In tno Hottletuent
f tho questions growing' oat of the
vt ur, uo that hoiiio or nil of the advan
titort guinea by this country in the
w:4r with Spain will have to ho thrown
away. To this end nil of their speuk
ern are Instructed as to tha coure to
pursue, and ull of ihn popocratiu can
didates aret pledged. Speakers from
tho ea-t are biing snt Into thtd statw.
and their utterances would indicate
that they are In the direct employ of
Spain. The Spanish commissioners in
Paris have received the tip and are
delaying1 the peace proceedings all
they can in the hopes that' the Mc-
Kioley administration will not be
hutained in the fall election. The
voters of tho ntate of Nebraska can see
the importance of standing by the
novernmont at this critical time.
Tho way for tne voters of the first
district to do this is to cast their votes
for E. J. Burkett for congress.
I'atrioti-m demands this course with
out regard to previous political
opinions. If the peop e of Kebras-ka
lieve in 'Standing up for the United
S'ateh" they will elect a solid Mc
Kinley congressional delegation this
fall. Ex.
Republican papers, republican
candidates a.d republican orators re
fuse to remain silent on the great
obj'-ct lesson spread before in
telligent people the past eighteen
months. The issues in the McKinley
campaign were, on the part of the re
publicans who voted for that great
statosman, protection, and with those
same republicans and tho old line
democrats who joined with the re
publicans for a time, sound money.
The people waited the result. On the
hand it was prophesied that no
prosperity would return and that
money would become scarcer; that
prices of farm products would drop
lower and commercial stagna
tion and ruin would ensue. On
the other bandit was claimed that
with a reasonable uroticiive tariff
evied and sound money guaranteed,
money that would be worth its face
the world over, and one against which
foreign exchange would not run up
and down chasing the price of bar
silver as the column of mercurv in a
thermometer rises or falls with the
change in temperature, that solid
business prosperity would ensue; that
mills would be opened laborers
wou d find work at rcmuneraative
wages tno great arteries ol com
merce would throb with the stimulus
of reawakened labor and money for all
legitimate purposes would be abundant
in quantity that interest rates would
be moderate. By all methods of fair
honest reasoning tho result should
guide the voter this fall in voting for
or against the republican ticket.
The people know, when they stop to
think that general conditions have
not in years been so prosperous as the
present and fuil of hopo for the
fui,ure as now. They know the
promises of the republican party have
been redeemed, and they do not want
a return to the trying days preceeding
McKinley's election. We do not fear
the result.
TriE near approach of election day
does not strike terror to those of for
eign countries who have money in
vested in Americau securities, as it did
twb years ago when the silver ei azi-
was before tho people for their arbi
trament. The peopie passed upon that
question, as they will upon ail
mat arise. Confidence in the stabil
ity of the country and the condition
of money has ug an been firmly estab
lished, and we see the reuit in larger
earnings in all branches of industry.
The people in all lines are more largely
employed, and their earnings ate
greater. Stocks which two years ago
kept dropping notch by notch as elec
tion day approached, now as that time
comes, grow stronger and stronger.
Not only is this the case, but prefer
ence is shown for American securities
oyer those cf other countries. The
result of the late wai through which
we have passed, has been to give us a
better st.-.nding than we had before.
War at all times is to be dreaded, and
avoided whenever possible, but when
it muat come, we should proBt by
what opportunity it brings us, even to
the addition of territory or trade ad
vantages that it may offer.
The popocrats are making tho fight
of their lives all over the state. They
know full well that the offices with the
good salaries, to which they were
-trai gers before the bad crops made it
oo.-siblo for them to ride into power
upon tne wave of discoutent that the
failure of crops brought. Recogniz
ing that the abundant crops and the
sfood times that tire always with, us
when we have a republican adminis
tration, makes the chances for keep
ing the people discontented, and in
the iine of repudiation and bankrupt
cy they are working like beavers that
ibeir hold upon the public offices
may not to broken, and that they may
cod ti oue to feast at the .public crib.
The good time which Major McKinley
has brought has opened the eyes of
many who were lined up with the ele
ment of discontent, now they see their
wai' clearly, and will act accjrdingly,
for even a popocrat likes good times
even if ho does not have the courage
to give credit to the cause that pro
duced them. Ex.
While Spain has decided to make
a demand for certain things in the
treaty of peace which she knows full
well never be allowed, and that Uncle
Sam will make a vigorous kick against
any terms which ae imposed in the
settlement and, while she will go even
so far as to ask the intervention of the
powers, which hc knows is of no use,
a .d which looks to the world as a
n-.itter of form. Yet to Spain, and
the discontented condition in which
things are there, it is a deep game of
politics. It is like those who man the
pumps of ti sinking ship; it is that or
go down, and the tsea of time closes
over them, leaving not a ripple to
mark tho spot. The question is, is
the old hulk worth anving?
THE Nebraska City News is bowl
ing against the McKinley brand of
prosperity, yet every page of the
News shows remarKable Improvement,
and gives the lie to its editorial ut
terances. Its telegrapeic service
alone, if only half rates are paid, coats
more than all tho others matter put
together, costs under the hard times
of free silver threats and free trade.
The income of the paper must have
doubled or it could not afford these
increase expenses. Our neighbor had
belter learn wisdom fr m Altgeld and
Fred Williams, drou all old issues and
confine its fly ht to the McCleary bill
which no one knows much about. It
could accomplish mum in that way
and not make a laughing stock of its
self.

P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 23, says: "We all had diarrhoea
in more less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to fee a
doctor, for it was a ctso of rush and
rush night and day to keep the troops
supplied with amunition and rations,
but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic,

that at one critical time this medicine
was the indirect savior of our army,

Electric Hitter.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
erally needed when the languid, ex
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic and alterative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often abated long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the eystem from the malar?al
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
stipation, Dizziness, yield to Electric
Bitters. Fifty cents and $1 bottles at
