CIIAUNCEY M. DEPEW will take
the stump , and whose voice with
vice candidate Hold's * pen , will be
a power in the laud , especially in
New York , for the national repub

THE members of the Nebraska
press association will form an ex
cursion party during the month of
July and journey to the heed of
Lake Superior for a week of rec
reation. It is reassuring to notice
that membership in this party has
been limited to actual newspaper
workers and members of the associ
ation.

go hastening along on the kite-
shaped track of life that lies be

These be solemn thoughts. Lin
coln Call.
NEBRASKA has again received
official recognition as one of the
leading agricultural states , and the
foremost corn-growing state. The
census bureau at Washington hag
completed statistics showing the
average yield per acre of corn in
cereals concerning the crops of
1889. The average yield per acre
of corn in Nebraska is 39.40 bu
shels as compared with 36.84 : in
Illinois. Besides leading all the
states in the yield per acre in corn ,
Nebraska is well up toward the
top in the production of other
cereals.
THE enthusiasm and harmony
i of the congressional convention at
j McCook were only exceeded by the
| good judgment displayed in the
selection of a candidate. Mr. An
drews is a natural orator , brainy ,
cultured and fully equipped for
duties of the high office to which
he has been nominated. Being a
young man his nomination is a
concession to the "young crowd"
which cannot fail to strengthen
the ticket. He is an aggressive
campaigner and Avill make a splen
did canvass. Mr. Andrews is a
professor in a Hastings college.
Oxford Standard.
THIS fall the republican party
must have a strong state ticket.
We must have men who will com
mand respect and inspire confi
dence. The contest may not be
close , but it is at least doubtful at
present , and the personel of the
ticket is of the greatest import
ance. There are a large number
of "good fellows" whom we would
be very glad to to see occupying
fat offices , but we cannot afford tote
to nominate men simply because
they are good fellows. We must be
careful in the selection of our
I ticket , and lay aside personal feel
ing and prejudice. The most
available men should be selected ,
and the question of who will bring
the most strength to ticket should
be the only one consideied in making

PROF. W. E. ANDREWS , who was
on the first ballot at the McCool
convention made the republican
candidate for congressman in the
JFifth district , is in every respect a
typical , energetic young western
man. Ho was born in Mahaska
county , Iowa , in 1854. His fathei
was a farmer , and Mr. Andrews
engaged in farm work until he wab
20 years of age. In 1874 he enter
ed Simpson college at Indianola
la. , and June 10 , 1885 , graduatec
with the degree of A. B. from Par
sons college at Fail-field , la. Par
of the time from 1874 to 1885 was
spent on the farm and in public
school work , to meet necessary col-
* * ut
loge expenses. In January , 1885
six months prior to his graduation
in June , he was elected to the chaii
of Latin and history in Hastings
college at Hastings , Neb. On Sep
tember 1 of the same year he was
married to Miss Mira McCoy a1
Fail-field , la. In June 1888 , Prof.
Andrews received the degree ol
master of arts from his alma mater ,
Parsons college. During the year
1891 he served acceptably as presi
dent of the Nebraska Teachers' as
sociation , and for the last seven
years he has baen continually iden
tified with the work of Hastings
college. In the winter term of 1889
he was elected vice president of the
faculty. Prof. Andrews has never
been an office seeker although
prominent in state and district pol
itics for some time. He served one
term as county superintendent of
schools in Iowa. He is intensely
republican. Elsie Hustler.
THE sudden death of Emmons
Blaine , son of James G. Blame ,
which occurred at Chicago a little
before noon Saturday , will stir the
heart of the nation in sympathy for
the stricken family. The blow falls
with particular weight upon the
parents , who have had much more
than their share of sorrow during
5
bhe past few years. Walker Blaine ,
it will be remembered , died while
giving his father invaluable service
at Washington but a short time
ago , and other bereavements have
occurred at short intervals to sad-
ieu the life of the great statesman
in his declining years. In this his
latest hour of trial the whole coun
try will pause and offer all the con
solation and sympathy that can be
riven at such a time. Journal.
IT turns out that the first re
ports of the destruction and los
of life caused by the tornado i ]
southern Minnesota were gross au (
cruel exaggerations. In the schoo
house , for instance , where it wai
reported that the teacher and al
the scholars but two were killed
it seems nobody was killed thougl
several of the children wer <
bruised. In the place of a hun
dred or so people killed in the
track of the storm , the are five fa-
tilities reported. It is a pity thai
the reckless liars who send oui
these damaging and distressing
reports after every violent storm
in the western states , could not be
lynched from time to time for the
encouragement of the naked truth.

THE offer of the managers of the
national encampment at Omaha to
compromise with the winners of
prizes by paying fifty cents on the
dollar has not created very much
enthusiasm among the visiting
guardsmen. The companies that
attended the drill at considerable
expense cannot be blamed for the
fnilure of Omaha to give the en
terprise the patronage that waste
to make it a financial success. If
Omaha promised to pay too dearly
for the encampment whistle her
people should square the account
this time and be careful about
bringing a big show into a small
city in the future. State Journal.
IT can be announced with con
fidence that Congressman Andrews

sxpired. The nomination is in
svery way a good one , and the re
publicans of the district will go
.nto the fight as they have not
lone since the days of Jim Laird.

THE New York World has a lon <
) olitical letter from Nebraska whicl
b heads with "Nebraska Indepen
! ents Will Indorse the Democrats
Electors , " and another saying tha
"Democrats Favor Fusion. " Bu
the text does not carry out the de
lusive promise of the head lines as
it quotes from numerous leaders o :
the alliance , from General Vai
Wyck down , who are almost unani
mously against any sort of fusioi
with the democrats.
It is pretty certain that if an }
indorsement of candidates is made
in Nebraska by the other party the
shoe will have to be on the othei
foot and it will have to be the dem
ocrats who indorse the independent
electors. That this will add much
to the strength of the electoral
ticket put up by the democrats is
quite problematical. The indorse
ment of the independent state ticket
last fall by the democrats failed to
do much execution as we seem to
remember. Journal.
GENERAL DILWORTH of Hastings
speaking of Professor Andrews , the
candidate for congress in this dis
trict , says : "He is the right man
in the right place , and will take
care of himself in the contest this
fall. Andrews is a student and
knows how to meet the issues be
fore the people. Is truthful and
fair in argument , and what he says
can be depended on. Besides , he
believes in America and American
ideas , and the man who believes in
his own country , and has faith and
confidence in his own people , and
whose theories are backed up by a
condition of unparalleled prosperi
ty , has the advantage of a man who
believes neither in God nor man ,
and who denies and slanders the
prosperity and progress of his own
state. Andrews can and will be
elected. "
THE democratic plank on the
question of reciprocity is simply
this : We denounce the work of
the republican party in arranging
of noncompetitive articles with the
South American nations , and de
mand that goods manufactured by
cheap European labor bo admitted
freely to come in compeHHon with
American f ctories and J * . . . .1
workmen.
