TODAY the republicans will put a ticket in the field that will be a win ner. It looks aa though Congressman Dolliver would be nominated if New York doesn't agree on a candidate. It is stated that democratic commit tees are not sending out 16 to 1 litera ture this year there seeming to be no demand for it. Thk democrats of Kentucky have about come to the conclusion that the Goebel law isn't what it should be and they may advocate its repeal. Thk railroads will make a rate of one fare for the round trip to the con vention of the state republican league, to be held in Lincoln the 28th. If you want to see how the B. & M. handles dirt take an hour off and walk down to the cut, just this side of the bridge. It would not be time lost. Admiral Dewey is no longer a candidate for president, and he states that he would not accept the nomina tion for vice president with Mr. Bryan. Saturday's rainstorm is the chief topio of conversation. The loss to sev eral business men and to the Burling ton railway will amount to a consider able sum. Kansas farmers want 1000 men to take care of their immense wheat crop. and are offering $2 a day and board It looks as though it were going to be a bad year for those who like to cry calamity. If Mark Hanna has a choice for vice president he isn't telling who it is. Scores of politicians have been trying for several days to find out what he thinks about the matter, but their efforts have been in vain . The latest news from Philadelphia is to the effect that Lieutenant Gover nor Woodruff, Secretary John D. Long -f AwBBmB TVililyer are the men who stana the boat chance to m McKlnley's running mate. High priced corn, cattle and hogs speak more loudly than anything else for the present administration. The fine-spun theories of government and the parable of the wheat and silver are of little avail under existing condi tions. THE Falls City Journal asks a ques tion: "What is to hinder Bryan from going up among the red skins and pos ing aa a Messiah and convert them to fusion? There are a good many adults among them and he might swell his vote considerably in the Dakota's and other silver producing localities." IT is the opinion of Admiral Dewey that the situation in China is most ser ious, and that this country is very fortunate in having so large an army in the orient. In the event of trouble he says the United States can send within a few days more soldiers into China than any other nation. WHE2C it comes to the matter of look ing after our state institutions, W. A. Poynter is a record breaker. The next governor of Nebraska, whatever his politics may be, will doubtless use other means of removing officials than that of drowning them out with white wash. Hammer and tongs would be more efficient. Thk fusionists of Nebraska are at a loss to know what to do with W. A. Poynter. They feel that they cannot re-elect him, and to turn him down at the end of his first term might not bet ter things very much. It would seem as though he might be induced to gracefully withdraw for the good of the cause of reform and for "Bryan's sake. THE county press recognizes the fact that Miss Kittle Worley of Elm wood is a better newspaper man than is Sandy Morrison. She has had charge of the Eagle Beacon since he began taking the census, and there has been a marked improvement in the same. OAIluy will u.vo w nui iv a 111.no uarucr ' when he takes up the work again if he is going to keep up the pace set by Miss Worloy. . J. Sterling Morton, in discussing the responsibility for the ratification of the treaty with Spain giving us the Philippines, says in part: "With uni . form livery of modesty even Colonel Bryam himself admitted that he had accomplished ratification." lie then asks: "By what right can Bryan and bis disciples criticise the results in the Philippines? Did not the Bryans, Baileys, "Chump" Clark and other chumps brag that they had forced the administration? Are such statesmen estopped or not estopped from crit icism?" C. A. Marshall, Dsotisu DOLLIVER'9 PERORATION. From the Philadelphia Post. Jonathan P. Dolliver of Iowa of the ways and means committee in the house of representatives is a son-in-law of D. K. Pearsons, the millionaire philanthropist of Chicago, and, in spite of his wealth, be has won an en viable place in congress solely on his merits during his twelve years of ser vice. Mr. Dolliver is an eloquent speaker, and when he is set down for a speech the visitors' gallery is sure to be filled. He is particularly apt at a repartee and most members fight shy of a runniBg debate with him. Mr. Dolliver is perhaps the best known by his peroration on the question of ad mitting American pork into European markets. "I hope the time will come,"he Baid, "when the American hog with a cu of contentment in his tale and a smile rf nlonaurn nn hid face mav travel un- . t,. trammeled through the market of the world." But that time ha not yet arrived, spite of Mr. Dolliver's eloquence. in NKHKASKA LIVE STOCK VALl'KS. Nebraska's live stock affords an in teresting object lesson to the farmers of this state.

Fremont Tribune AN IMPORTANT DECISSON. United States District Judge William K. Townsend has handed down an opinion in the test case on Porto Ilico. It is to the effect that the Paris treaty is valid and that the status of the peo ple of the island is that of inhabitants of a foreign country as reeards the constitution of the United States, ami within the meaning of tho tariff acts; that Porto Kico is a part of the United States so far as other countries are concerned, but so far as the constitu tion of this country is concerned is a foreign county, and that the United States can govern it without subject ing it to tho burden of national tax ation and that the status of the inhabi tants will remain unchanged until congress shall determine it. Charles E. Winlek, president of the Nebraska Republican league, has called a state convention of that or ganization to meet in Lincoln June 2S at 2 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of electing officers and selecting dele gates to the national republican league, which meets in St. Paul July TT-19. TU? CuUTVll.i. .ill -ii 11.1 its session by holding a grand ratifica tion meeting in tho evening. This will be a mass meeting of huge propor tions. The stale candidates and re turned delegates from Philadelphia will be there. A speaker of national reputation has been invited and is ex pected to be present and deliver the speech of the evening. Tammany is conceded to be the rul ing power in the democratic party, and since it is head over heels in the gigantic ice trust in New York city all the political buncombe has been knocked out of the trust question. The burden of proof seems to be on the democrats now to show to the people that their political leaders are tho worst in the whole country. New York's mayor is a fine exponent of re form.

In response to requests from wives of officers serving in the Philippines to join their husbands, the secretary of war has decided that the wives of regular officers and those of volunteer staff officers can go on transport when there is room for them by getting per mission from the quartermaster gen eral of the army, but that owing to the fact that the officers of tho vol unteer regiments will soon be returned to this country by expiration of service the wive of these officers will not be permitted to go to the Philippines on tho government transports. A decision of importance was handed down yesterday at St. Louis by the circuit court. Judge Thayer, in tho case of the American school of mag netic healing, S. A. Weltmer and J. H. Kelley, complainants, vs. J. M. McAnnulty, postmaster at Nevada, Mo. The opinion holds that the di rection given by the postmaster gen eral to withhold mail sent to complain ants and return it to the senders marked "fraudulent" is legal. An in junction restraining McAnnulty from obeying the order was denied. The highest ambition of the aver age man is to own a savage dog. The average man always believes that somebody wants to steal something from him; he misses something that he has carelessly mislaid, and he is dead sure that Jinks or Nimpson or somebody else has stolen it. He reads the riot act to the police, asking the officers why they don't do their Duty; and finally the 6tolen article looms up where he mislaid It, and then he is forced to the conclusion that things are not what they seem. Meanwhile he has bought a savage dog to protect his premises from the ravages of the thieves, and the dog has queered him with the whole neighborhood. The dog bites pieces out of the calves of tbe minister and the family physician but is always asleep when suspicious characters are in the neighborhood Finallj somebody has the Average Citizen arrested for harboring a vi cious dog, and he is fined about a hun dred dollars, and locked up in jail, al because he is over-suspicious of his fellowmen Walt Mason.

He has had a successful career of twelve years in the lower house of congress, and his strength among his constitu ents is testified to by six renomina tlons by aeclaination. His strength in congress is proven by the fact that his fellow members in the house are re sponsible for the movement to place his name before this convention. Const States Have a Mn.
