Politics will soon warm up In
groat hh.tpc. Lookout for ureal do
Iiiks after the St. Louis convention.
Thk republican are very quiet on
HUte politics. They have a heavy
loud on i heir shoulders In trying to
carry the midgut governor through,
and they know It, too.
Whii.k extolling prosperity don't let
us fur.'t that the public debt was In
creasi-d by three millions of dollars
last month. This Is surely a strenuous
administration under which we are
living.
Tiik midget governor Is In a hot box
unit don't know how to escape the I re of
the en .pie unci railroad magnates both
at the same time. It Is a "you'll be
dainncil if vou do, and he damned If
don't" ease w ith Mickey.
Kit mm i Ik tone of many of our ex
I'himncs one would Judge that ex-Con
grcsHtiuii Nhcllcnhf rgcr was the com
ing man for the democratic noinlna
t for governor, lie made u good
record in congress and will make a
good slate executive.
Nkhhask democrats have plenty
of good tlmlter for governor, chief
among whom are Judge J. J. Sullivan.
ex-Congressman Shcllenhcrgcr and M.
V. Harrington. Kltherof these gentlc
men are so far superior to Midget
Mickey that It would be shameful to
even attempt a comparison.
Tiik Journal has every faith In the
wisdom of the democratic party. We
believe, In the first place, that hap
mony will prevail In the St. Louis con
vention. After wtijpli the democrats
of Nebraska will nominate one of their
must popular leaders for governor, who
will be able to carry the banner on to
victory In November.
In case of his election to the senate,
lilowhard Hurkett lias his successor In
congress already selected In the person
of Ed. H. Slzer of Lincoln. He don't
propose that the republicans through
out the district shall have any say In
the matter. This displays the egotism
of a narrow-contracted brain.
liY a vote of three to two the state
board of equalization decided not to
tax fraternal securities and reserve
funds, liy this act the ixmrd practi
cally Ignored the opinion of Attorney
(ieneral Trout, who decided that the
lodges were subject to taxation.
It turns outsince the meeting of the
republican state convention that pre
vlous to that event lilowhard Hurkett
had promised four or live aspirants for
his seat that if the convention endors
ed htm for the senate he would with'
draw ami give them a "free-for
all" tight for the nomination for con
gress. Hut he now declines to do so
and "h-llls to pay!"
Evidkntly republican prosperity
has struck the Hurllngton railroad a
pretty severe Jolt In the past few
months from the way they are laying
off employes. 1'erhaps It may tie caused
from Teddy's "strenuoslty." They
don't usually lay off laborers during
prosperity waves.
Is one respect McKlnley and lloose-
volt arc alike. McKlnley was a very
strong advocate of thesllvercause until
ottered the presidency on a gold plat
form. Roosevelt was strongly opposed
to a high tariff until he became presi
dent by virtue of a high tariff platform
Republicans should be ashamed to twit
demcrats for changing their positions
on public questions.
Nf.hu akka'h new revenue law, It Is
helleved, will be the big Issue In the
campaign this fall. From present in
dications the law will prove to be one
of the most unpopular measures ever
adopted by a Nehraska legislature.
However It lias many friends who are
confident It will work out well, when
Its provisions aro better understood.
Phksidknt Jessk of the Missouri
state university urges the youth of the
land to study agriculture In preference
to law or medicine, and makes this un
questioned assertion: "If a boy will
put the same amount of time and
study into his training for agriculture
that he would put Into his training for
law or medicine he will In the great
majority of cases make more money
enjoy greater freedom, better health
and develop stronger character."
Ik everything would go olT harmon
iously at the St. Louis convention and
Mr. llryan would accept the demo
cratic nomination for U. S. senator,
wouldn't he make the great lilowhard
hunt his hole and make him' pull the
hole in after lilm? The Journal only
hopes Mich things will occur. Under
such circumstances the democrats
cou'd i.arry Nebraska.
TiiKtin shop8iiithe larger cities are
be! ng kept busy now days cutting down
the worklngmen's dinner palls. The
place In the tin pall reserved for meats
has bei n kept empty by the beef trusts
and the owners are having them cut
down for the sake of convenience In
carrying. And Teddy Is in the com
bine to keep the palls empty of meat
by standing for a tarltT he condemned
several years ago.
Says the Nebraska City News: "J
H. Mickey was renominated for gover
nor by the Burlington railroad in Lin
coin last Wednesday, Can the corpor
atlons deliver him enough votes to se
cure his re-election? That Is the qucs
Hon that Is now agitating the minds
of the republicans who would like to
ser a complete republican victory Mil
fall. The alwve question was asked
by the South Omaha Independent, a
paper that represents the labor organ
Izatlons of that town. It an answer
was necessary we would agree with
the- Independent that the B.& M.can
not deliver the votes."
Tom Johnson, of Ohio, says Joseph
W. Folk is the most available demo
cratic candidate for president that
he has the harmonizing power. II
suits the Journal. And while he
v'-uid make a chief executive that
the eyes of the nation could look upon
with pride, he emphatically says he
has promised the people of Missouri
that lie will serve them as governor,
and he is going to do it if the Great
Ruler of the Universe will permit.
Tiik republican managers Intend to
stand by the roblwr tarltT In the com
ing campaign. A defense of the tariff
means a defense of the trusts about
whose exactions the farmers are com
plaining so much. The beef trust Is
giving the farmers and laliorers an ob
ject lesson that ought to teach them
something wholesome In domestic
economy. The farmer Is getting less
for Ins cattle and hogs and the laborer
is paying more for his dressed meats-
thanks to the beef t rust.
Tiik republican party has troubles of
Its own Just now to settle, and per
haps some of the leaders will have all
they can do to look after their own af
fairs instead of sticking their noses
Into the affairs of the democrats. WIS'
cousin is a fair sample of republlca
harmony, with a split In the party and
two candidates for governor. Illinois,
after balloting for over a week on gov
ernor, took a recess for two weeks
when the war of factions opens again
Yates says he Is determined to have
renomlnation, while his enemies say
nit." Oh, yes, there's so much bar
mony in tne republican party else
where, probably they will have a sup
ply to furnish Nebraska. They will
need a lot of It In this state by the
time election rolls round.
In ihe appraisement of the tangible
property of the railroads the State
Hoard of Railroad Assessment must
give tangible proof that It is not own
ed by the railroads. The proof the
pudding is In the eat Ing. -Omaha l.ee
Whatever is said good or had of the
liei editor, his stand on equal assess
ments of railroads Is highly commend
ahle. Edward Rose-water has always
claimed that the tail mads of Nebraska
do in ! pay their proper share of the
ta.M in which he is light. The act ion
of I !.. I" .ml on this matter will be
e.i -ilv watched for by the people.
M !!:; t Mickey Is in a bad position -'tvil
the devil and the deep blue sea.
Tiik consensus of tarltT expressions
In republican platforms and by repub
lican leaders, amounts to this: That
In the dim future, should the need ever
arise, there will be a revision of such
schedules as are observed tobeexces
slve; but that there Is no occasion for
revision now and Is not likely t j be at
any time. The Inconsistency of this
proposition amounts to an absurdity
when account Is taken of the gen
eral admission that certain schedules
are now excessive. Individual leaders
In argument generally make the latter
admission, but the otliclal and platform
statements negative it expressly. But
the current republican talk, in resol
Hons, platforms and perora, has late
reverted to the subject of reciprocity.
It here serveseven better tolllutninate
the party inconsistency and insincerity
and throws into striking relief the na
ture and extent of the tariff fraud
committed upon the count ry. The de
nunciations of reciprocity now heard
render especially t imely a reconsider
ation of l'ingley bill history.

A (tit rat occasion Is offered this year
for an exercise of the power of genuine
democracy. The national government
Is In control of a political organization
which Is un-American and antagonistic
to the organic principles upon which
our institutions are formed and our
social ixidy rests. The republican
machine is a perversion of politics and
political organization; an arrogation of
power by corrupt means Into the hands
of an exclusive ring; Its motive is per
petuatlon and further consolidation of
control and Its operation is palpably
and directly Inimical to rights in the
mi st comprehensive sense. This cen
tralization of power, as it may be call
ed, Is corrupt to the very core, essen
tially, as Its pursuits have glaringly
exhibited to the people during the
eight republican years past. Under
normal conditions, armed with proper
means, the public Is superior even to
the most highly developed machines
It remains with democracy to provide
the people with an effective Instru
ment for undoing the machine and re
leasing and distributing political power
once more, it remains witn trie dem
ocratic party to decide this year wheth
er a suitable alternative shall be offered
to the voting masses. The eye of the
country Is turned anxiously upon de
mocracy. What will It do? Will It
so solve Its small Internecine problems
as to concentrate all its strength at
the polls? Will it lend Itself to the
plain demands of the people? Inevit
ably It will suffer If It does not.
