his managers are kept busy watching

Hack anil forth through the country
the cries are sounding, "Turn the ras
cats out" and "Let's see the books."
Their echoes grow rather than dimin
ish. "ext year there is every reason
for believing, the demand for a change
of administration will have attained a
strength antl volume sunicient to bring
it about. The democratic party need
not worry over "having no issue."
Tiik lat legislature created the of
lice of "county assessor." ruder the
law each county will tie required tt
elect an assessor whose duty it will lie
to supervise the assessments of the en
tire county. If the taxpayers have
not given this otlice much thought it
is high time they were doing so. The
office of county assessor w ill lie the
most important, and at the same time
tlie most dillicult to till of any position
to lie voted for at the ensuing election
The position will he beset upon by all
manner of temptations ami induce
ments to practice corruption, and the
man chosen to fill the place should b
one partlculaly adapted to the require
ments a man who is conscientious
ami fearless in the discharge of his
duty a man who has suflieent judg
ment to discharge his duty without
calling in friends and associates, and
following their judgment instead of
his own. The office is one of import
ance to every taxpayer of Cass county,
irrespective of politics, religion or bus
iness relations and all are vitally inte-
ested in not only having a thoroughly
competent man, but one wlio is above
suspicion and one who cannot be cor
rupted and misled by tax-shirkers and
tax grafters.
Tiik ork Democrat says that "the
farmers of Ikxme county built a $5,000
elevator at Albion, putting their faith
in the Ilamsey bill to compeil the rail
road to lay a track to the structure.
Hut in this instance it appears that
faith with works proved unavailing,
and the elevator building stands use
less, a monument to the treachery of
the Nebraska republican railroad leg
islature. The question is, will the
farmers who invested their money in
that elevator, hoping thereby to get
relief from the grip of the grain trust,
forget all about this treachery when
next election day comes around and
walk up to the polls and vote for the
larty that brought it alout." This
case is similar to the one at M unlock
in thiscounty, only the farmers at the
latter place were refused a site along
the railroad track for their elevator.
The business men of Murdock are not
to blame for the state of affairs that
exist among the farmers tributary to
that village, caused, as the York hem
ocraat says, by "the treachery of the
Nebraska republican railroad legisla
ture,"oneof the.prime movers in w hich
represented Cass county in that body,
antl voted for the adoption of the nefa
rious Kamsey bill. Conseqently if the
business Interests of Murdock suffer
the blame must lay directly with the
republican party, the serfs of the Ne
braska railroad magnates.
City Dads in Council.
The city council met in regular ses
sion on Tuesday night, and among oth
er business transacted was the passing
of an ordinance levying taxes on all
property subject to taxation the same
lieing to defray the expenses of the city
for the ensuing liscal year. The fund
derived from this source is to lie ap
portioned as follows: (General fund,
10 mills: hre department, botn or a
mill; library, 1 mill; park, loth of a
mill: police, .5 mills: police, 3 mills: lire
hydrant rental, 11 mills; interest on
refunding bonds and to retire bonds of
the issue of 181)0, :0 mills; streets and
and grading, 11 mills making a total
of 5S-70 mills.
A number jf communications were
read, and the reports of the city clerk,
treasurer, police judge and street com
missioner were referred to the proper
committee.
Considerable street w ork w as also or
dered.
The clique of Dingley bill politi
cians, who laid a protective tax against
almost everything else, omitted to tax
immigration. The truth is that they
were not vitally interested in protect
ing American labor at the time when
the schedules were made. And immi
grants are largelj' consumed by the
trusts. It makes all the difference
w ho is the consumer.

are proving themselves to be very cost
ly friends and confidential counselors
of Hoosevelt. They are not friends
and advisers of the sort that would
have lieen chosen by Mr. Koosevelt
when, as a civil service reformer and
champion of purity in politics, he be
gan his public career not so many years
ago. Times change and we change
with them, however and vaulting j
ambition is mighty apt to make a man
less careful of the company he keeps
Roosevelt and Race Riots.
The evil results of keeping alive the
race question" for political purposes
are nowhere better seen than in the
Evansvillc (Ind. ) riots, which have
caused many killings and woundings.
Koosevelt's discriminations under
cover of the "door of hope" doctrine
have resulted treacherously for the
negro in a series of instances covering
the year past. However profitable it
may prove to the presidential candi
date, leading the negro beyond his
depth has not done the negro an' good.
Forcing the negro's political and so
cial status has encouraged olTensive-
ness, not especially in the Evansville
instance, but in the difficulties gener
ally which have been so conspicuous
since the acting president began his
preferential treatment; and offensive-
ness has met a prompt answer in every
case, whether north or south. Finally,
when the period of disturbance shall
have passed, the negro will be found
to have lost ground through the cham
pionship of his political friend. Al
ready, in the consensus of opinion, ra
cial distinctions have, been accent
uated to the negro's detriment: and
the end is not vet.
Jiooseveit win nave tne negro con
vention-vote solid, probably he will
have the nomination, and perhaps the
election; but he will have paid a price
for his honors, a. id a part of the price
is an injury or nis negro following.
The negio himself cannot be expected
to penetrate tlie Koosevelt casuistry:
tne doctrine or equality will lure him
irresistibly, and he will not charge the
consequences lo false or interested
leadership. Hut the intelligent his

It is unfortunate that difficulties

with impunity the Rock Island has re
fused an association, composed of about
fifty of the best farmers of Cass county,
the right to erect an elevator on their
track at Murdock, simply because the
grain combine deem it otherwise. For
this state of affairs the republican par
ty, owned bodily by the railroad cor
porations of Nebraska, are responsible.
This is but a single illustration of the
means devised by that party of retain-
inir control of the reins of government
in this state to the detriment of the
yeomenry of the land. And the busi
ness interests of Murdock, it seems,
must suffer in consequence.

Coal Prospects.
It has long been surmised that if
cal existed anywhere in Nebraska,
there was certainly a quantity under
lying the hills surrounding Platts
mouth. Evidences of this fact have
cropped out Jn the past few days on
the premises of J. W. 1 nomas, near
the llurlington bridge. And then there
is still another discovery. The latest
being on the land of Frank Svehla, on
the old ferry road. There be may noth
ing in these "finds," but it is altogether
probable that it will pay investigation.
Some people who have visited the lat
ter "prospect" seem to think that coal
is there, but the Journal is one of those
papers that does not believes in build-
ingupthehopesof all interested to such
a "hiirh Ditch'' thatiin case coal does
not "pan out" in proper quantity and
quality, the disappointment would be
so great as to almost prove disastrous
to the welfare of the community.
