In these improving democratic times
even Pike's peak has grown a thousand
feet taller. Louisville Courier Jour
nal.
Another bond issue is in sight. O,
for a treasury secretary with back
bone enough to obey the law, and re
deem greenbacks with silver!
Now that the republicans have nom
inated their ticket they have discov
ered that they have put up the wrong
men, and are very unhappy over it.
A pool of water and filth has ac
cumulated arcund the watering trough
on Third street. The board of health
should look after this matter at once.
The Atlanta exposition has been
been opened in due form, and is a
great success from the start. Presi
dent Cleveland pressed the button
which started the machinery. Atlanta
people, etc.
Every democrat should remember
that there will be no use of throwing
away votes on Judge Maxwell. He is
not in the race for supreme judge. C.
J. Phelps is the man to vote for to
make the vote count.
The democratic party is committed
to sound money the gold and silver
of the constitution and anything
short of that is an abortion founded on
the republican fraud of 1S73, which de
stroyed silver a3 money.
In theso booming gold standard
times it is not very encouraging to see
the News state that "business is at a
standstill." Everything ought to be
rushiDg with oats at 12 cents and
corn at 20 cents. 'Rah for the Roths
childs syndicate that keeps down the
panic!
At the Labor day celebration in
Terre Haute Senator Voorhees said,
"that he knew Debs is suffering a pen
alty that the constitution does not war
rant, that a lawful conviction must be
preceeded by a trial by a jury and that
a ranker piece of injustice never blotted
the pages of our federal judicirry than
the imprisonment of Debs."
The republicans of the west half of
the county are, to say the least, not
overly well pleased with the republican
nominations, while the Germans are
more than displeased with the defeat
of Mr. Wiedemann, the only candidate
they had. The candidates will now
proceed to placate these elements with
soft solder between this and election
time.
It costs 4 cents to mine a dollar's
worth of gold in some mines of Col
orado, says an exchange. Is it not
strange that the gold mono-metal-lists
do not set up a howl about
the enormous profits of gold-miners?
They ' are constantly ringing the
charges on silver miners' profits, and
the extreme selfishness of silver
miners. The men who want to see
their friends and associates robbed
and enslaved, pin their faith to tome
very flimsy excuses.
The republicans of New York are
playing horse with the republicans of
the country. They have recommended
Gov. Morton as a presidential candi
date and apparently want him nomi
nated, while they well know that he is
an old, broken-down man, afflicted
with senility, and it is very question
able if he lives the year out. A pre
sentation of his name may have the ef
fect however, of opening bis well-filled
'barl" for the state campaign, and
that's what the politicians are prob
ably after.
TnE democratic state committee
met Thursday at Omaha and took
action on the resignation tendered by
the chairman, C. J. Smyth, by declin
ing to accept the same. Mr. Smyth
promised Mr. Morgan that if it were
possible he would be present with the
Cass county democrats at their conven
tion on the 25tb, in company with Mr.
Phelps, the democratic candidate for
supreme judge. Mr. Smyth is an at
tractive orator, and may be prevailed
upon to address the convention.
REPUBLICAN DEVILTRY.
The repot t comes that Secretary of
State Piper has' placed the names of
the nominees of the bolting, or rump,
convention of democrats ou the state
ticket as the regular nominees of the
party, to the exclusion of the regular
nominees. What better could be ex-
pected from a republican official? The
facts are that the nominees of the
recular democratic convention were
properly certified up to the secretary
of state on the morning of September
fith before the Lincoln convention
had met or placed a ticket in the field
lint it seems the secretary pigeon
holed that paper, and waited till the
rump convention had certified their
nominees up to him. when he decide
to put them ou, instead of the regular
ticket. Of course he will be mau-
damused to put the right ticket on; but
he has shown his colors the metal cf
which he is made. He has shown
what everybody knows that the re
publ'cans are friendly to the bolters
knowing that they have nothing to
fear from them. It will avail them
nothing, however.
It will be remembeied that the only
waj the bolters got their names on the
ticket last year was by petition, as
"straight" democrats. If that was
their party name then, can they le
gally change that name except by put
ting the new name on by petition?
How can a "straight" democratic party
become the regular party save by con
sent of the regulars, and do it legally?
Does Mr. Piper or his corrupt advisors
imagine that he can decide against the
regulars and for the bolters without
bringing the odium of dishonor upon
his name? Or, doesn't he care for his
good name? What a pretty kettle of
fish he is getting himself into, any
wav !
RULE OR RUIN.
The interview with a prominent
'sound money" democrat, of Kentucky
published in yesterday's Post-Dispatch,
in which he said he would vote
against General Hardin and urge his
friends to do so, is merely an out
spoken expression of the secret inten
tion of the Wall street wing of the
democracy.
This pretended democrat says that
the defeat of Hardin would have
i
salutary effect on the sound money
campaign. If Hardin is elected all the
benefit of the apparent sound money
victory in the democratic convention
will be lost and the silver men will be
enabled to carry the solid south and
thus capture the national convention.
In order to prevent this possibility he
thinks the administration democrats
should turn the state over to the re
publicans.
This is equivalent to saying that the
success of gold monometallism is of
greater moment to the "sound money"
democrats than the success of the dem
ocratic party and that no democrat
who does not surrender to the admin
istration can get the administration's
vote.
Some farmers have the mistaken
idea that every businessman or manu
facturer is continually piling up the
profits at from 10 to 40 per cent of the
capital invested. While it is true that
some business men succeed and accu
mulate large wealth, it is nevertheless
a fact that less than one business man
in twenty is a success. It is the twen
tieth man who is seen by every one,
the other nineteen are always in sight,
but never in view. In farming this
order may not be quite reversed, but
such is nearer the fact than many are
willing to grant, and strange as it may
seem, it is the man who has made a
failure in farming whom the farmers
see, and nine times out of ten he is not
the brightest man in the community,
either. It is not just or fair for a
farmer to be a pessimist In regard to
his own calling and an optomist in re
gard to every other calling or profes
sion. Practical Farmer.
If Plattsmouth merchants were to
expend a tithe of the energy andentert
prise in behalf of the county fair in
proportion to their ability that Omaha
merchants have done for the state fair
we would have such a fair as we never
had before. And its time they took
some interest in it.
J. G. P. Hildebrand has begun the
publication of a newspaper which he
calls the Lincoln Herald thus steal
ing the thunder of the Veteran advo
cate of true democracy, J. D. Calhoun
and is advocatipg the cause of mo
nopoly, and the sbylocks in it. We al
ways knew Hildebrand was a man of
slight scruples, but never thought ha
would have the gall to creep under the
shadow of so good a man as Calhoun
to perpetrate a fraud on the democrats
of Nebraska! Hildebrand is a blood
sucker of rare capacity, and If he don't
bleed the gold-bugs to a finish it will
be a mystery why.
I HE CLASSES VS. TdE MASSES.
The chief difference between de
mocracy and republicanism is found in
this: Democracy believes that all
power and authority originates with
the individual, the citizens; that the
citizen should take care of the govern
ment. The republicans theory is that
government should care for the citizen
Hence democrats would confine al
taxing powers ami tax laws to the
necessities of government administered
with rigid economy, and oppose al
bounty laws aud ptotective tariff laws
The republican theory, based on com
munism, that the government should
look alter every one's a elf are, wants a
protective tarilT, so that one class may.
by being made rich through the action
of the law, turn about aud enrich
everybody else. The trouble with that
the cry is that when the tar i IT bene
ficiaries become rich they won't divide
and enrich their laborers, because
there is no law to compel them to do
so. Mr. Harrison, in his letter of ac
ceptance, in 1802, admitted as much
when he said:
'I regret tnat all employers of labor are not
just aul considerate, and that capital some
times takes too large a share of the profits."
And that is j.ist where the whole
theory of modern lepublicanism breaks
down. .Government by means of
class -legislation means a grand thing
for the classes, but it must of neces
sity benefit the classes at the expense
of the masses. While the democratic
plan puts every man on his metal to
look after his own interests. Hence
we see so. much of what is called
"kicking" over platforms and declara
tions of principles among democrats,
but very little trouble among them
over candidates. With them the princi
ples are important, the candidates are
uot. with r publicans the principles
are of minor importance tho candi
dates everything. Hence republicans,
A lien dissatisfied, bolt their nomina
tions more than democrats do.
A WELL-TIMED SPEECH.
Governor Altgeld of Illinois, than
whom there is no more profonudly pat
riotic statesman in America, was
among the invited orators at the Chic-
amauga dedication. He said, during
the course of his remarks:
Instead of an armed force that we
can meet on the field, there is today an
enemy that is invisible, but everywhere
at work, destroying our institutions;
that enemy is corruption. It seeks to
direct official action; it dictates legis
lation and endeavors to control the
construction of laws. It seeks to con
trol the press, to set factions at vari
ance and shape public sentiment. It
has emasculated American politics and
placed it on the low plane of jugglery.
The tendency now is for political par
ties to shirk principle and follow ex
pediency, and their platforms are often
drawn to evade or straddle everv live
issue. The idea now is to cajole rather
than convince; to ignore great worngs
and wink at abuses; to court the sup
port of conflicting interests, though it
involves the deception of one or both.
We are substituting office seeking and
office holding in place of real achieve
ment, and instead of great careers in
public life, we are facing a harvest on
slippery, bleared and empty medioc
rity, which glides into oblivion with
out death's assistance. To be an ele
gible candidate now means to stand for
nothing in particular and .o rep
resent no definite principle, but be all
things to all men, and in the end be'
contemptible.
Thirty-four years ago the call was
or men to fight an open enemy in the
field. Today our countiy is calling
for men who will be true to republican
nstitutions at home. Never before
did this republic call so loudly as it
does today for a strong, sturdy man-
lood that will stand up defiantly and
dare to do right. For more than a
decade the tendency in this country
las been toward a colorless and nega
tive diletanteism, having the counten
ance of the pharisee with the greed of
the wolf, and drawing all its inspira-
ions from the altar of concentrated
and corrupting wealth. The (lag has
been praised at champagne dinners
while the very pole from which it
floated was being eaten off by corrup-
ion, and republican institutions are
being stabbed to the vitals. A new
gospel has come among us, according
to which "it is mean to rob a hen roost
or a lien, but plunderinc: thousands
makes us gentlemen."
My friends, the men of the past did
their duty; shall we do ours? They
were asked to face you may have to
ace calumny and obloquy. No man
ever served his country without being
yilified, for all. who make a profit out
of injustice will be your enemies, but
as sure as the heavens are high aud
ustice is eternal will you triumph in
the end.

Judicial convention.
The democratic judicial convention
of the second judicial district, for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for
judge of the district court, will be held
at the court house, in Nebraska City,
on Thursday, October 3d, 1895, at 1:30
o'clock p. m. The counties comprising
said district are composed of Otoe and
Cass and are entitled to nineteen (19)
delegates each.
F. P. liiELAND, Chairman.
C. M. Huuneh, Secretary.
The supreme court of Nebraska is
tied down to tue idea that a tax deed
is net a valid title all because the
treasurer has no seal, and there is no
provision of law for his procuring one,
but if he had a seal and affixed it to
his deed, the inference is, the title
conveyed would be as could be made
Well, that sounds very strange, indeed
that a court should place so much store
by a little stamp made of iron and cop
per. It sounds very much like fiatism
There would be no disagreement
or division among the democrats o
Nebraska were it not for the posses
siou or hope ot government office on
the part of so many men. This is
what enlists the whole force o
Marshal White's contingent and Col
lector North's band of revenue agents
in the propaganda of building up an
organized bolt from the regular party
organization, and gives it the sinews
of war. There is no honest man wil
questiou this.
There is strong talk, we learn, ot
Sue Patterson accepting the demo
cralic nomination for sheriff, with
Jacob Trietch for tieasurer. It would
make a strong pair that republicans
would have to hustle to defeat. Dear-
ing has no opposition for district clerk,
but we have not heard the name of the
man that wanted to tackle Jim Rob
inson on the county clerkship fight.
Polk's News.
Still the same itching desire to con
trol the course of the democrats that
characterized your action in voting in
the Union convention, Bro. Polk! Of
course the democracy will put up
strong ticKet, whether it is the one
named above or not. Havn't heard of
any one for clerk? Well you must be
blind and deaf. Tho names of both
Geo. Sawyer and Col. John Metheny
have been spoken of for that place.
The Journal rises here to remark
that Jim Robinson is about the weak
est man on the republican ticket.
It will be observed that Dr. Miller
did not attend the bolters convention,
although strenuous efforts were made
to induce him to attend. Dr. Miller
old the bolters that they bad no record
upon which to make a contest for a
delegation to the national convention.
That fact, together with the intention
of this faction to send a delegation to
boom Morton for presidency, is evi
dently too much of a good thing for a
friend of Tilden nnd Sevmore. World
Herald.
Even if Dr. Miller is a gold-bug he
has some sense of propriety with it.
He made his fight years ago in demo
cratic conventions and lost or won as a
lemocrat; but of late there has sprung
up in our party a class of rule or ruin
political hacks who bolt every conven
tion they cannot run aud they are now
running a dirty game to get into th
next national convention regardless of
the wishes of the democrats of the
state. While we do not agree with
the doctor on lingo!. I standard theories
yet we believe him to be a democrat
Hid at the same time we have no hesi
tancy in s tying that the Vilases, Fair-
childs, Warner's, Hyards, iirices aud a
ew more nearer home are nothing
more than a mercenary gang of mug
wumps wearing the democratic budge.
