It is not true that the men who
create a system of robbery "are
themselves hopelessly caught in it";
and if they were that should rive
them no immunity from the desti
nation of those for whose undoing
it was created. It is not true that
anybody is compelled to cheat. It
is not true that there is a distinc
tion between one's public and
one's private character that one
may le a knave in his business, yet
socially a most estimablejentlenian.
A rootle is a rojue in all his rela
tions with others, though his rog
uery in any one is sufficien for hat
ing him. The " robin: r barons"
willdissappear from commercial and
political life when, ceasing to find
excuses for them, we take to hunt
ing them out of social life. He
who speaks well of them is no bet
ter then they; to shake hands with
them is to be an accomplice.

the distinction of being the onl

Oni: of two things is true, if we
are to judge the matter by the as
sessment returns given in bv the
merchants and bankers in Omaha
anil Lincoln, either the business
men in the former citv are exceed
ingly cheerful liars or the mercan
tile establishments and banking in
stitutions in the capital city have
fully as large if not larger stocks
and as large deposits as have their
brothers on the "I3ig Muddy."
Ivither end of the situation reflects
but little credit on Omaha, which
goes to prove that it dosen't al
ways pay to lie to the assessor.

I'kikxi) Tklix.kaph: On ac
count of a recent refusal of the
railroads to pay their taxes last
year an addition of 1 mill has been
levied on all property in the'eounty
this year. While the railroads seem
to le willing to run the politics of
Saline county, to run its legisla
tors, they are unwilling to lx?ar
their proportion of the burdens of
taxation which usually fall to the
whiternan, and the taxpayers are
not only asked to pay their taxes
for this year, but to put up that
which the railroads have refused to
pay.
The Lincoln Journal Scored.
(Lim'olii Sttir.)
A Lincoln morning paper contin
ues to make an amusing spectacle
of itself, declaiming against the
trusts, while it continues to be the
head of a trust that has wrongfully
taken as many dollars from the
pockets of Nebraskaus as any other
combination whose operations are
a restraint of trade. While pluck
ing beams, tins paper persistently
neglects its own mote. For thirtv
years it fed off state, county am
municipal governments, exacting
enormous prices, and, in one case,
the state alleges, withholding the
state's own property, so that the
commonwealth now has a cause of
action against the paper's company
to receive something like $85,000
After the courts have decided the
merits of that case, in which the
morning paper's company is accused
of deriving, from the sale of books,
a revenue which the state ought to
have had, perhaps the morning pa
per will be in a position to write,
with greater precision, upon the
baneful effects of trade combines
The best thing that can be said of
the printing trust in Nebraska is
that it is not so strong as it used to
le. The people and officials have
had something to say about it, and
in the last two or three years they
have said it very emphatically.
Tin-: democratic county conven
tion, for the purpose of selecting
delegates to the state convention,
and also to select a county ticket
will meet at Klmwood this year.
The date is Tuesday September 19.
At the meeting of the committee
the contest between Klmwood and
Louisville was quite spirited and
not till all other towns were with
drawn did Klmwood win out. Klm
wood is one of the best towns in
the county and amply able to take
care of the convention. Thev won
the honor fairlv.
Big Talk and Little Stick.
President Roosevelt has thus far
proved himself a brave talker and
a timid pcriormcr. I lis writings
and his speeches have given con
vincing evidence of an unbounded
desire to do something, and yet he
has done nothing. Klectcd by the
greatest popular majority ever giv
en a candidate for the presidency,
he holds the powers of the great of
fice with hesitating hand, all the
while promising great things.
Nobody doubts the sincerity of
what he says, and yet everybody- is
unconsciously giving up the ex jac
tation that any of his promised re
forms will ever Ik? worked out in
deeds. What is the matter with
the President? lirave in all his ut
terances and defying censure so long
as he feels that he is right, he is, in
action, halted at every turn by the
indecisive "I dare not waits upon I
would."
Starting last March with the in
tention of calling an extra session of
Congress to consider reforms which
he deemed imperatively necessary,
the call was postponed at the behest
of party leaders and is at last aban
doned altogether.
Preaching a crusade against what
he proclaimed the crying evil of
freight rebates, he ordered prosecu
tion of the alleged rebaters; but
when Paul Morton rose like jack-out-of-the-box
before him, the pros
ecutions were called off and milder
proceedings instituted.
Democratic County Convention.

county, Nebraska, are hereby called to

control by a revolution and the
purchase of the Frencli company's
rights was pushed through against
much opposition, open and secret.
Were they right who attributed the
energy of these early transactions

Kvkky man who hates the frauds
and follies of our protective tariff
will, of course, be glad to see it at

It puts on record the fact that
American industries "can no long
er depend upon the home market
that tne export trade is vital to
this country; that the present atti-
time or me united states in an
tagonizing foreign nations whose
good we desire," and that congress
ought at once to set about making
"concessions" (polite for reduc
tions) in our existing tariff, which
can be done without injury to in
dustry, trade, or the wages of labor."
Compliments To Mr. Bryan,
An exercise in the studv of stvle
and thought that sometimes affords
amusement is to choose a fine pas
sage trom some iamous orator or
writer, suppress the name and sub
mit the company the question,
Y ho is the authorr e sug
gest that those interested in oratory
and in the great topics of the time
should try this upon some of the
passages of a recent famous public
utterance. Take this for instance:
What is needed in legislation is a
vigilant and effective controll of
corporations, so as to secure just
and equitable dealing on their part
toward their competitors and
toward the wage workers in their
employ.
Or take this:
The only way effectively to meet
the corporations is to give to the
executive department of thegovern
ment a more direct and tneretore
a more efficient supervision of their
management.
Or again a third:
I believe that all corporations
engaged in interstate commerce
should be under supervision of the
National Government.
Nine men in ten would sav this
is Brvanism, therefore it must be
from Bryan. And if anybody
should say this is from Mr. Roose
velt's address at Chautauqua he
would be accused of villi fying the
Chief Magistrate. X. Y. World.
