THE repeal or the radical

way to restore public confidence i
the republican parly.
QUITE a number of the leadin
republican papers incline to the be
lief that the pension fees ought 1
be abolished notwithstanding tli
fact a bill looking to the nccomi
lishment of that end has boon ii
traduced in congress bv a Missotu
democrat.
IT is asserted , on what irf consici
ered good authority , that th
Omaha Bee company employ La\v
yer Simeral by tlio year , at a sain
ry of $5,000 to defend their libe
and damage suits , he pledging t
pay all judgments and costs accru
ing against the company.
ONE of the wrongs to-day , say
the Schuyler Quill , is the insui
ance law which allows a compan ;
to cancel a man's policy at will
They carry an insurance at a higl
rate , until some risk is incurred
then the cancellation act comes ii
play. Our alliance legislatur
should better this.

"roasting" Mrs. Beecher becausi
she recently declared that she re
garded a thorough knowledge o
house-keeping of more important
to women than an education tha
would fit them for the exercise o
the electorial franchise. The men
as a rule , and particularly thos <
that are husbands , are disposed t (
sustain Mrs. Beecher.
DEEP and sincere grief will b (
caused by the announcement tha
Sitting Bull has been shot. Mr
Bull was one of the finest conver
sationalists of his race. It is true
that he was vindictive , bloodthirsty
and treacherous , and the swori
enemy of the white man , but then
is no feeling of joy that he has fal
len at last by the bullet. It was
one of the prayerful requests of al
good people that he would live tc
be hanged.
CHARLES EICHARDS , a Texan ,
who killed a man at Benklemar
some time ago and was sentenced
to the penitentiary , was pardonec
by the Governor Thursday , and al
once left for his home in the Lone
Star state. The redoubtable states
man , Hon. Webster Flanagan , was
liere in his interest Judging bj

SCULLY , the Dublin landlord ,
who has come into prominence ID
Irish politics through the home
xule split , is not unknown in tha
west. He is owner of thousands
of acres of land in Illinois , and al
so the bulk of Nuckolls county ,
Nebraska. His tyrannical treat
ment of tenants in both states led
to the adoption of stringent alien
laud laws , and unless Mr. Scully
becomes an American citizen be
fore his death , his vast acres be
come the property of the state. If
Scully is considered a typical
home ruler , it is evident the Irish
electors are not familiar with his
odious operations as a landlord in
Illinois and Nebraska. Bee.
THE Messiah craze is not a new
Indian fad. It is at least a cen-
tuiy old , and may possibly have
been practiced in various forms
before Columbus sighted the "West
Indies. A writer in the current
Century asserts the Indians of Cal
ifornia inherited respect for a pro
spective. Messiah , and even after
the followers of Junipera Serra
vrooed them to practical civilization
the redskins frequently broke down
all restraints , hurred to the moun
tains and went through muscular
ceremonies not unlike the ghost
dances of today. To some the
Messiah was to come in the shape
of a snake , to others in the form of
a fiery bull. The Indians of to
day slightly improve on the Mes
siah of their brethren of early mis
sion days by mounting him on a
buffalo.
THE Dundy County Pioneer ha
tiM following somewhat nove
schema to oiler in furtherance c
the financial feature of the irriga
tion question : "Our entry am

this idon. Dundy county contain

there would' bo § 150,000 Dmid
county lias paid to the govern
ment. saying nothing of the entr
foes and relinquishments , whicl
would amount to a goodly sum
The question coines up , what ha
the government done for us ? Th
only answer possible is , nothing
AVhal can and should the govern
nvnt do for us is not so easily an
sworcd. In the first place the gov
eminent should and could make a ]
appropriation to aid irrigation ii
the west. $150,000 properly ex
peuded would turn all the wate
now flowing in our streams eve ]
the accessible farm land of thi
county , and plant enough stean
pumps on the inaccessible land
to insure enough water suppb
each year , and this without an ]
expense to the farmers. This dos <
will only be paying back the mon
ey taken from the farmers of th <
county. Will it be done ? Hon
esty on the part of the- govern
ment , and necessity on the part o :
the farmers demand it. Ne lec !
O
and indifference on the part of con
gress will defeat it. "
AN important development cf the
alliance in Kansas is a scheme oJ
co-operation by which the farmers
may be protected against forced
sales of their products. The plar
agreed upon is to raise funds wit !
which to make loans to poor mem
bers of the organization on corr
and wheat as security. This fund
is to be formed by contributions
each member giving $2 and it is
to be used in tiding over farmers
who would be otherwise driven to
sacrifice their products. It is in
tended by this movement to raise
the price of grain by withholding
it from the market until it shall
command enough to compensate
the farmer for his labor. ' If the
alliance all over the country will
adopt this method it will deal a
severe blow to the speculators who
make the necessity of the farmer
their opportunity. If the farmers
will avail themselves of the powei
which they may command for theii
own protection by thorough organ
ization and intelligent cooperation
tion , they will not need any gov
ernment warehouses or any othei
kind of federal paternalism.
THERE'S a moiety of consolation
in the fact that political revolutions
are usually less dangerous to the
public than distressing to the of
fice-seeker , office-holder and to
politicians generally.
NEBRASKA'S political crop for
"all ' 90 was the largest in the his-
xry of the state , and it is not all
garnered yet , apparently.
THERE does not seem to be suf-
Icient room in the alliance to com-
brtably accommodate VanWyck

POWERS will be president for an-
ither year , anyhow , if he never

There are men , and plenty of then
who hate other men because the ) att <
are successful. There arc even thos
who hate a man who wears good clothe
They are of the opinion that decenc
in dress and bearing are evidences (
arrogance , and what they arc please
to term "putting on style. " Such me
are those who claim that one man is :
good as another. The loafur that take
this flattering unction to his soul is IK
fooling anybody but himself. Tl
couldn't even mislead a ntray tlg Ii
any such assertion. A man who spcnc
his time guzzling beer and gin and tli
like , is not an good us men who do no
The man who i.s too lazy tu earn a ducc-i
living is not as good as the men of ei
ergy who devote themselves to som
sort of business , no matter how humbl
it is. The man who has no worthy ait
in life is not as good as the enterprii
ing , public spirited man who endeavor
to advance his own prosperity and tha
of his neighbors by well directed effort
in that direction.

The Parnell poets have broken out into rap-
urous verse over their sainted leader. Here
5 a specimen lay from St. Lotii- :
Sin ? aye 'tis sin , and we hate it ;
But which of us dare throw a stone ?
Which cry : " 1 have sinned not ? " We bait it ,
Be sure not one bitter heart-moan.
This is pretty bad , but the poet has the con-
elation of knowing that it isn't half as bad as
'arnell's relations with Mistress O'Shea.
