Read the call for county convention, and then be sure to attend the pjinu rlcs May 3. I'LATTSMOl'TII Will Soon llVC lllT first street fair. Let's all Join hands and make It a bummer. Wiui.k we are on the question of pol iticians talking too much what's the matter with Lee Ilerdman? Stick right to the text, Mr. Tegard eri. Follow tho provlslonsof the reve nue law, as the people expect you to do. New Youk has Instructed for Judge l'arker, and Pennsylvania sends an un instuctcd delegation, which means the same. Senatoh Uuhton, the Kansas scape grace, Is in Washington, but has de cided not . to resume his seat till he lias served out his jail sentence. The mention of John Sharp Will iams, democratic leader In congress, for chairman of tho St. Louis conven tion, seems to meet with general ap proval. .Washington, D.C., lsaflllctcd with a serious scandal in the public schools. Strenuous efforts have been made to kill it, but it seems to have as many lives as a cat. John D. Hockkkkllku says it is "a religious duty to get all the money you can and keep all you can." Senator Burton of Kansas has pasted this in his hat. And what of Dcitrich? At least one hundred republican congressmen have already left Wash ington for home to look after their fences to repair their defences. May we not hope also to expiate their of fenses. All democrats should make arrange ments to attend the primaries in their various precincts to be held Tuesday, May 3, at 7:30 p. m., for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Louisville convention. g- The Venezuelan troubles seem to have been settled rationally and economically. Minister Bowcn had only two or three thousand dollars for his services, and Hon. Wayne Mc- Veagu gave his legal cooperation gratuitously. Judge Swayne, presented by the House committee for impeachment, will not be tried at present, if he ever is. Republicans claim that the charg es against him were merely partisan and malicious, and had no foundation in Improper conduct. Of course! Half a dozen "pestilent" labor agi tators have been driven out of Colo rado by the authorities. "Major Hill, in command of the mlhtla at Trini dad, arrested the persons, placed them on an cast bound train, and command ed them never to return again." Mar tial law may stand such rough usage, but civil government could not en dure it. The presumption that Judge Parker will be nominated at St. Louis seems to be worrying the republicans greatly. If Judge Parker is nominated every Bryan democrat will support him, and not only this, but he will beat the nin compoop "accidental" so badly that Teddy won't know which one of the boys he is-"Tcddy, the Rough Rider," or Roosevelt, the accidental president. A ritOMiNENT democrat of this city was in Weeping "Water one day last week, and while standing on the street talking to a leading republican and former county olllcial, a third one join ed the party, and he was also a reoubll- can. As ho stepped up to the two gentlemen in conversation, he caught each by the shoulder and brought them closer to him then remarked: "I have Just read the decision In the Kuuke- Tolk case, and I think the allowance of $2,500 to Polk as an attorney foe is outrageous, to sav the least. Unrlor the circumstances he shouldn't have been allowed a cent." .This remark met the approval of the other two. and not only this, but the remark will meet wnu tne approval of four-fifths of the voters of Cass county who know the manner in which l'olk secured the In terests of the Kentucky heirs In said estate. To Relegate Polk -Ism. The city election In Plattsmouth re sulted In the success of the democratic ticket almost as a w hole. License and anu-ncensecioirt appear to be an Issue over there, but they have an Issue Just the same nnrf it.

Olive, at the next county convention, ond von will see tho rlngsters, headed by lYlk and Claris henchmen, right on hand with a slate, upon which will appear the names of those they want nominated That slate is already prepared, and If you don't watch tho comers tho "riailsmouth Rlngsters" will irct the upper-hand of the convention, the same as they did last year. They wont down until the slate Is smashed into smith erccnscvcry time one Is put up by these v would be bossesor the republican party of Cass county. "The City In the Hands of the Dutch." (U-fi over from lust week.) Evidently that old Know-nothing sentiment still lurks in the minds of numerous republicans, and no doubt will as long as life lasts. The republican party is the out growth, to a great extent, of the old Know-nothing party, and the older heads of today can tell how eagerly that organization sought to "drive all the Putcli and Irish out of America," and for all time to come stop foreign emi gration. During the civil war numerous Her mans, Irish and natives of other coun tries went to the front and helped save the old flag. When the war closed many of those Hocked to the republican party and areexpected tosupport who soever that party may nominate, from president down to city officers. Later, the A. P. A., another side Issue of the republican party, was or panlzcd, the sole object of which was to restrict foreign emigration, and It met the same fate as the Know-nothings. The democratic party fought these organizations with all its might and main to the bitter end; and still many of these American citizens of for eign birth continue to vote with its greatest enemy the republican party. When the democrats nominated their city ticket they done so irrespective of any citizen's nationality, so they were good men for the different positions, and it so happened that the majority of candidates on the ticket were of German decent, all elected. This call ed forth from some of the small-fry republican politicians the slurring re mark that "the city is now In the hands of the Dutch." The democratic party Is the only party of the people In existence, and has been sinco the foundation of the republic, and ever since the writer lias been able to understand the principles of the two great parties, it has alway8 been a mystery to us why any foreign born citizen, or sons of foreign born citizens, cat) consistently vote against a party that has so manfully upheld their rights, at all times and under all circumstances. The republican party, could they do so, would banish from our shores every forego citizen, and have but little use for them except to vote its ticket. And the cropping out of such remarks as "the city is in the hands of the Dutch," fully demon strates this fact. A Reminccrof Civil War Times, When tht assessor Invades your premises and asks you Impertinent questions and takes an Invoice of your property; and when the county treas urer appears with a distress warrant, and later when the sheriff presents you with a summons, requiring you to come into court to show cause why your home should not be sold for taxes, it will cause you to do a little thinking for yourself, but you should hot become angry and revile these officials. They have taken an oath and given a bond and they are simply doing an unpleas ant duty. The present tax talk reminds the aged citizen of civil war times, when Uncle Sam maintained thousands of soldiers in the field and shot away mil lions of dollars in a day. Patriotism caused the people to promptly respond then, but how shall tho situation be met now? We have been the dupes of politicians for years. Because a man Is a "good fellow" he is elevated to po sitions of trusts and responsibility he was never built to occupy, and the re sult is not to the best interests of the people. We now hear talk of the inad equacy of the revenue. JoeBartly was trying for more rcvenuc-and he got It, too. If the members of our legislature, and state officials, too, would keep within the provisions of the constltu Hon there would be no cry of inade quacy of the revenue. The constitu tion (Section 1, of Article XII) pro vides: " The atutc lint;, to mat eaxual de ficit k or (((7itre in the revenue, contract dditit never to exceed in the (Kin c O.XE 11 I'M) It EI) TIIOL'SAXi) lt)L LAItS; and no greater indebtedness shall be incurred except for the purpose of repelling Invasion, suppressing in surrectlon, or defending the state In war," etc. It Is thus seen that the state indebtedness is limited to $100 000, and when the legislature or state officials exceed this sum, It Is fraudu lent and void. Wo have no Invasions, Insurrections or war in this state, yet It Is said the actual Indebtedness of the state Is over TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! When the taxpayers arc called upon to foot such Illegal obligations, they should pay It, if at all, under protest, and then seek relief at the ballot box. That Is what it Is for. Nebraska was "redeemed" by our re publican friends not long since, but it looks to us as though it needed re demption of anothersort. The people have It In their power to stop tills Ille gal squandering of the peoples' money. Will they do It? Or will Dletrichlsm and Standard Oil still prevail? Now we shall see whether Captain Cowles, the President's brother-in-law gets his deserts for running the battle ship Missouri Into the battleship Illi nois, to the serious Injury and great peril of both. A naval board under Dewey acquits lit in of blame, but tho Army and Navy Journal Intimates that "a high authority" requested that finding. This seems Improbable, but the Captain's relationship to the Chief Executive is unfortunate. Farmers and Horsemen, Attention! Dr. II. Jensen, the vcterlnailan.will make regular visits to Pliittsinouthon Thurwlay of each week. Leave orders at Uerlng A- Co.'s drug store. Fooling the People. Since the Fifty-eighth Congress con vened the secretary of the navy has awarded contracts for 10,000 tons of ar mor plate. The Bethlehem and Carnegie com panies bid $455 a tun and got a contract for lO.ooo tons. These two concerns are acknowledged to be combined. The Midland company, a new concern, bid $100 ami was given a contract for 6000 tons. Congress appropriated $500,000 for the prosecution of trusts. The secre tary of the navy awards a government contract toa trust which involves a loss of $55o,ooo. The excuse given is that the Midland could not handle the en tire order within the time fixed for de livery. A former Congress authorized the secretary of the navy to build a Gov ernment armor plant whenever he had reason to believe a monopoly was goug ing the government. But this provis ion was omitted from the law now In force. Thus do we vindicate the majesty of tho people and bust the trusts. The attorney-general is allowed $500,000 to fight the combine. Tho secretary of tho navy allows a combine $550,000 bonus. The secretary of treasury pays both bills, and when the three of them come together they poke one another in the ribs and chuckle because they are fooling all of the people all of the time. Tainting, decorating and sign writ ing. Work guaranteed. Leave orders at Fricke's drug store. L. Baldwin. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident Is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as fol lows: "I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk en, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great Joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they robbed the crave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents, guar anteed, at F. G. Fricke & Co's drug store.
