A man who was mixed ur with a re

ex-Governor Holcorab.

! COUNTY politics is beginniug to
warm up a little, but tho most of the
noise is coming from old worn-out
politicians who bavo either been next
to the public crib or have been trying
to get there as far back a3 the oldest
inhabitant can remember.
It WILL now be in order for the ed
itor of the post to take his typewriter
in hand and address political editorials
to himself, heading them from various
parts of the county, after the cordial
invitation which the editor extended
to himself in last evening's issue.
It ATPEAR9 that the reason the
governor removed D. Clem Deaver,
the steward at the deaf and dumb in
stitute, was because the latter refused
to purchase supplies of a member of
the board of trustees and pay a higher
price for them than he could secure
them elsewhere. For shame, D. Clem!
A NEW democratic paper, of a clear
free silver jingle, is soon to be
launched in Chicigo, a9 indicated by
the press diepatchey. Colonel W. C.
Wetmore, the late Si. Louis tobacco
manufacturer, is named as tho probi
able backer of the enterprise. The
supposition is that this; project will
fill a "long feit wan."

laboring very hard to create sympatfc
for itself and -prejudice against th

claims that the latter ia not loyal to
the republicana However, the Advo
cate's assertions ' will not have much
weight, as -- Mr. Keithley has boen a
good, square republican too long to
be charged with disloyalty.
;TflK report of the treasury offieiuls
show that the exports from this coun
try exceeded tho imports by $530, S&G,'
037 for the part year. The total im
ports wore $G7,077,3SS, of which about
$300,000,000 came in duty free. The im
ports of gold for tho year amounted in
round numbers to S8,954,f03, the ex
ports $37,522,080, a difference of $51,-
432,517 in favor of thU country.
There is a noticeable and constant ly
increasing demand for good roads.
While other means of transportation
have made steady progress and costs
of freights have been redncea enor
mously, tho country roads over which
tho farmers have to haul their pro
ducts to markets have not improved
correspondingly. Somo of them are al
most as bad in condition as when they
wero first cut through. At cert:un
seasons of tho year many established
roads are as impassable, and ready
transportation as impossible, as when
first cut through.
Those who have formed an idea of
the-exposition at Omaha from the Bee
Or World-Herald will have a very im
perfect conception of the great show.
In point of beauty in arrangement of
the grounds and in tho illuminations
it surpasses the great show of '98. Tho
exhibits are not all in place, but tho
character of them ife of more interest
than last year's exhibit. There are
moro manufactured articles and ma
chinery and not so much corn, wheat,
oats and grasses. The music and other
special features are equal to last
year's attractions.
It IS useless to deny that the nolicv
of protection to American labor and
industry Is moro or le69 responsible
for the existing deadlock on the was-e
question between the tin plate manu
facturer and their employees, says the
American Economist. Had there been
no protective tariff on tin plate there
would certainly be no labor trouble in
that industry at the present time, and
for the best of all reasons: There
would be no tin plate industry in this
country and the question of wages
could not possibly come up. It will be
remembered that prior to the enact
ment of the McKinley law there were
no tin plt.te mills, hence no labor
troubles.
t
AGUTtfXLOo, the Filipino teaser, is
quoted having said in a recent speech
aliTarlac, at a celebration of- the an-
niversary of the Filipino "declaration
of independence," that "we - shall see
at last that the great Amerieau nation
will acknowledge the right which is,
on our side. ' Some states of
the American union have arisen in
our favor. Especially is " the demo
cratic party convinced that both vic
tois and vanquished will lose precious
lives. Thus many of : tbe people and
many statesmen censure President Mc
Kinley as inhuman for having ordered
his military representatives at Manila
to seek means to bring about hostil
ities with the Filipinos."
I'RUSI'ERITV IX THE WEST.
Ooo of the facts which ha adiscour-
atring effect on tho leaders of tho dem
oc.atic party is tho great increase in
industrial activity in tho west. Every
body, democrat as well as republican.
who tells anything nowadays about
the 60cUl conditions in the western
states mentions tho prosperity which
is diffused through all of thom. ' Busi
ness is more active in all of them than
was ever known before,says the Globe
Democrat. Tho reports of the bank
clearances from all quarters of the
west show an immense increase in
transactions since last year at this
time. The earnings of the western
railroads are at the 'highest figures
ever touched.
Assistant Secretary of tho Treasury
Vanderlip,who has just returned from
a tour through several states in the
Mississippi Valley, is eloquent about
the evidences of industrial activity
and prosperity which ho saw on every
hand. - He remarks that this is killing
the silver issue as a democratic dogma.
Democratic leaders in tho west are
saying the same thing. There is a
strong disposition among the shrewder
democratic magnates of tho western
states to lake up some other isuuo,nnd
let silver drop out altogether, or put
it so far in the background that it will
not figure with any prominence in the
canvass. Tho Stones, liryans, Jonese9
and Atgelds are apparently still anx
ious to stick to it, and they are likely
to carr3' the convention with them, but
the wiser men of their party, both pol
iticians and editors, are urginc their
side to give up that issue and talk of
something else.
The defection of the west is a serious
thiog for the democracy. It wasoa the
west that the democratic bosses looked
for a great part of their electoral votes
nextyear. They knew that the number
of et-ites which they can carry in the
south will out furnish them with more
than half the number of votes which
their party will ueed to give it the
victory. Tho south has long since
ceased to be solid for the democracy.
Many votes will have to corns from the
west to that party if it is to have any
chance to win. The democratic lead
ers know that they can get very few
votes from the west uuder present con
ditions. It was the businoss depres
sion resulting from the democratic
panic of TSSI3 which created the eondij
tions in tho west which gave the demr
ocracy several state in the' Misafsipoi
h "Valley and od the "Pacific slope in 1S&(L
Republican prosperity has ensued biote
then,and tho entire situation id
changed. This is why the reports of
business activity and general prosper
ity throughout, tho west, which come
from democrats and republicans alike,
have a dUhtartening elloct oa the
democratic leaders. It moan- a sweep

rORKMO)T FIGURE AT CHICAGO.
Undoubtedly Mr. Bryan exprossedi
truo political philosophy when he said
at Chici go on Thursday evening that
tno democratic party was "going out
to fight" in l00on' the Chicago plat
form, and that it was not "going to
ask 'Is this thing popular?' but Is
this thing right?'" By that he meant
that the democracy would go into tho
faght with a square declaration of its
real purpose touching silver, says the
New York Sun
A bold and straightforward policy is
the first requisite of a party in nation
al politic-. Courage, of itself, attracts
support by winning respect. The
reason of the presont dominance of
1 a..-.
oir. uryan in tne demooriitic parly is
that there is no courageous opposition
to him in tho party. He represents
sometnmg positive, but his opponents.
who nre machinating to deprive him
of tho nomination next year, rcpro
sent no principle which they dare as
sert and defend. They call themselves
"gold democrats," and genorally they
voteu against him in 1896, On the
ground that tho silver issue repre
sented by him invites appalling disas
ter and even infamy for their country,
and the maintenanco of the gold stan-
in ueaouLi;n 10 mo nauonui pros
perity and national credit, but now
they are abandoning that ground with
a pusillanimity unexampled in. na
tional politics. Not one of them dares
to demand or advocato or even to
suggest in a whisper that the demo
cratic platform in 1900 should be favor
able to the gold standard.
In 1896 the sentiment of these oppo
nents of Mr. Bryan was expressed posi
tively and courageously in the plat
form of the so-called national demo
cratic party, adopted at Indianapolis,
to this effect: "Wo insist upon the
maintenance of the gold standard and
the parity therewith of every dollar
issued by the cnmnmnni D ni
firmly opposed to the free and nr..
limited coinage of silver." But how
is it with them in 1899? Now they are
simply intriguing to prevent any posi
tive declaration on the subject of the
monetary standard in the democratic
piauorm or 1900. They are trying to
vioep out. oi me fight Thfiv

urave in iouo, ) but in 1899
playing the art of cowards.
they are
' Under suchc circumatannoa iho,.
called "gold democrats" are br,,,nd m
be beaten ignominiously ln the demo
cratic national convention nextyear,
and they will deserve their humilia
tion. They are afraid . to "go out to
fight'? for their principles, and inevit
ably they will' be whipped by the
forces who have the courage and self
respect to declare their position and
fight for it manfully.
Cowardice, equivocation, subterfuge
are a fatal reliance in politics. If the
"gold democrats" cannot defeat tho
nomination of Bryan by making a
square gold platform for the. demo
cracy they cannot prevent it at all.
The democratic party muBt be either
for eold or for silver, and as the gold
faction dares not demand - gold it will
obviously be for silver, on which side
are all tho courage, consistency, and
fighting spirit of the democracy.
Frank Dickson has announced his
candidacy for the office of county treas
urer; for this offenaa ho has been sub
jected to a personal attack in the col
umns of tho Post that deuies him the
courtesy of even aspiring to the office.
ItistruoMr. Dickson has held office
in the county for r four years and no
ono has yet found any ground to at
tack birn with reforenco to his official
character. If tho republican party
should select Mr. Dickson. as its candi
date The News can heartily support
him. The News will likewise render
to either Mr. Stroight or Mr. Barton
the enmo support should . either be
ehosen by the party in convention.
Personal assaults are not only uncalled
for, but in the present cuee manifestly
unjust. The rheumitic political ed
itor h;s misjudged reputable people if
ho hopes to gain by such atticks.

WASHINGTON, . July - 22. Th war
department has Issued a statement
quoting certain dispatches from Gen
eral Otla in ansirer to the press corre
spondents' "round - robin." The gen
eral says in substance that the corre
spondents wish to send statements
that would imperil operations; that
they had no specification to 'support
their charges against him and that
these charges were untrue. He denies
that he : minimizes ' the work of . th
navy: and quotes from naval dispatches
ThP tt nf th statement is as fol-
lows: General Otis in a dispatch under
date of July 20 says that the press cor
respondents ' demanded, permission to
cable that official reports sent mis
represented conditions. .This -was
denied. -They then demanded the priv
ilege to send without reservation facts
found by them and their opinion. This
was granted if public, interests -were
not imperiled. The answer was ' not
satisfactory and they therefore sent by
mall to Hong Kong. General OUa says
he Is not conscious of -sending mis
representations, . but thinks that - his
dispatches at times have been too con
servative. The press affair appeared
to be a threat. When correspondents
were asked for information wherein
General Otis' dispatches were mislead
ing they offered- nothing tangible ex
cept that his conclusions were unwar
ranted. When told that they were dis
regarding military authority, it was
apparent that they courted martyrdom
which it was unwise to Kive them.
"In a later dispatch General Otis
says that the charges made by the
press correspondents are untrue. He
adds that the most harmonious - rela
tions exist between the army and th
navy. He gives the following extract
from a letter just received from a lead
ing Filipino at Tarlac, which is the
center of the main insurgent army:
" 'For some days have been trying
to leave this band of thieves. Watched
so closely impossible to leave. A great
many people here long for American
troops to advance, for every one is
