Two Republican administrations have placed us on a business basis. In Nebraska a Federal (Irand Jury has just not through investigating the sale of post masterships hy the Republican party, while in Washington they are investigating the sale of the govern ment by the incumbents. Oh, how beautiful it is to dwell under this glo rious republican boodle administra tion! Havk you noted the relation existing between the priee of eggs and coal oil?

He won't ignore it next year tor the same reason that thedeacon didn't ignore the angry ram. The time will soon he here when the accidental pres ident cannot maintain his indifference to thisquestion. Tiik ''Sissy'' of the News is devoting considerable space just now to W. J. Rryan, bisdaugbter, Ruth and her hus band. If his silly slurs in this direc tion could onlvbe circulated through out the state as extensively as his libel ous slurs against Sheriff McUride were in Cass county, he would succeed in landing Mr. Rryan in the I'nited Statt s senate. The republicans of this coun ty haven't ceased yet proclaiming the "Sissy" adamphool of the tirst water for his foolish acts in the recent cam paign. Tiik country is getting terrible sick of administration graft. All the dem ocracy of the country have to do now is to "get together' next year and se lect a candidate for president whose personality will inspire conlidcnce: then we believe the great majority of voters will support him asenthusiasti cally as they supported Samuel J. Til den in l7t. The democratic party has a great opportunity before it, and every true democrat in the land hopes that the leaders will le able to grasp that opportunity with a winning hand. It has b 'en hut a few days since W. .1. Rryan had a conference with the Oar of Russia. How few, if any of the lesser lights (like the "Sissy" of the News) that have In-en snapping at the heels oT Mr. Rryan, could even hope to uret a job of .shining the Czar's shoes. 02j Stkakino almiit the indictment of Coiby the Reat rice Sun says: "As we sinl ie.'ire. tins lliui!' is roiien. aim Colby ;s not the only man in thedeal!'

Neither is there if the Na t ional Committee shall discard all dis guises and conduct the campaign un der t he true colors of the Republican party. I'erry S. Heath is a typical Re publican politician. J le represents ex ceptionally well the spiritand purpose of the party, and the Democratic party ought to hope earnestly that he will stay not only till the convention shall meet, but till the votes shall be count ed in November. Remember the Poor. At no time do the poor who need as sistance appeal to the sympathy of the benevolent so strongly as during the Christmas season. And this is the season when the spirit of self-sacrifice and charitableness is active in the world and when gift-bearing to our needy neighbors is not only a privilege but a duty. People make their own Christmas merrier and their own New New Year happier hy also considering the poor and administering to their hard necessities. Cifts will be abund ant and the feast sumptuous in the homes of the rich, and plenty and con tent will abide. Rutin the homes of the poor, unless the Christmas spirit reach them from without, there will he no feast, no gifts, no cheer, no mer riment; only poverty, suffering, pain. The giver of Christmas gifts who for gets the poor also forgets the meaning of Christmas and Him whose birth is celebrated and w ho was especially .so licitous for the poor. The Journal wishes every one a "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year," with the hope that the rich will not forget the poor while preparing for their own pleasure and happiness on Christmas daj xN.v.v FOR SALE OR TRADE!

Somi: of the papers not only in this state, but also in Iowa and other states, are advancing their subscription price, claiming that it is necessary to do so in order to keep even with the advance of other thuus. During the past John Friesel Injured. John Friesel, an employe of the B. & M. shops, experienced a narrow escape from being killed last Saturday after temoon. He had been over to Pacific Junction, and was returning on an ex tra freight which had no intention of stopping at this station, and passing through at the rate of about twenty miles an hour. When he was told that it would not stop, he made ready to jump and did so as the tan in passed the depot. Jn doing so he lit in such a manner as to fracture the collarbone which will lay him up for several days. P(Q)FDTr V The matter of feed is of tremendous importance to the farmer. Wrong feeding is loss. Right feeding is profit. The up-to-date farmer knows what to feed his cows to get the most milk, his pigs to get the most pork, his hens to get the most eggs. Science. But how about the children ? Arc they fed according to science, a bone food if bones are soft and undeveloped, a flesh and muscle food if they arc thin and weak and a blood food if there is anemia ? Scott's Emulsion is a mixed food ; the Cod Liver Oil in it makes flesh, blood and muscle, School Apportionment Made. County Superintendent Wortman has just communicated with all the school hoards of the county informing them of the semi-annual state appor tionment of the school funds just mad and the amount of money for each dis trict. These moneys are derived from the rental, lease and sale of public lanJs in this state as well as tines and licenses. Jn his letter to the boards, Superintendent Wortman took occa sion to suggest that this money is the tirst money to come into the school treasury forseveral months. The reas on for this being that taxes are paid mostly during the lirst six months of each year. The superintendent says that some districts probably miscalcu late in making the annual levy for school purposes each year from the fact that there may at that time be a little money in the treasury of the district, when as a matter of fact the district is virtually behind. The point is made and it is a point that should be remem bered by the voters, that at the annual school meet ing the calculation ou'ht to be made, "not the amount of money on hand, but is that amount suflicicnt to pay running expenses for the next half year of school" until taxes begin to How in again. The question is answered as to the authority of a school board to borrow money, and it is stated that they have no such authority. They also have their attention call ed to the necessity of a good diction ary in every school district and are ad vised "not to buy a cheap dictionary or accept one as a gift even" as chil dren are entitled to the very best. It is recommended however, on grounds of convenience and economy to have besides the Standard or international Word Rook, one or two small handy volumes for beginners who must learn how to use the dictionary, and since they are liable to tear the leaves add misuse the book, they should be pro vided with inexpensive small editions which will serve the purpose just as well, and which the superintendent claims will be decided economy in the long run. The circular letter is closed by re minding the members of the boards that now that most of the pupilsarein school who will he enrolled, and that there is light work at home for most of the members is the proper time to visit the school and thereby keep in touch with what lsgoing on.

Sinck the republican party has adopted the idea of a strong, central ized, military government, it is fair to presume that they will try to rush through congress the adoption of At-tor-General Knox's recommendations on the naturalization question. He wants the power of granting natural ization papers taken away from the state courts, and that hereafter all ap plicants for citizenship be required to apply to the federal courts. Step by step the power of the people is being taken away from them, and if the re publican party remain in power eight years long, and such strides are made in the future eight years as in the past eight toward a centralized, or in other words, a monarchal government, it is farewell to American liberty.
