IN that inimitable style which

TJIEUK is nothing that can pro
duce more political discomfort
than a boom which was picked be
fore it was ripe. Local politicians
should bear this in mind.
Tup way the south is ruined by
protection is seen by statistics. In
1880 the value of cotton goods
manufactured iu the south was
§ 21,000,000. In 1800 it was
§ 50,000,000. And the ratio is
much greater in the iron and other
industries. The south is the par
ent of the protective system and
the wisdom of its course is being
seen in the great industrial south
of today. Bee.
UNDER the caption , "A Good
Nomination" the Kearney Journal
says : The selection of Prof. W. E.
Andrews , of Hastings , for the con
gressional standard bearer for the
old second Nebraska district , is one
of the best moves a republican con
vention could have made. Mr.
Andrews is one of the ablest men
in Nebraska. He is bright , intelli
gent , well posted and one of Ne
braska's most effective orators. To-
say nothing politically , yet what a
change it would be for this Nebras
ka district to have Mr. Andrews to
represent it in congress instead of
the present incumbentMcKeighan.
We hope the voters of that district
will < ret the scales from their eve ? ;
and see it likewise , in favor of in
telligence and ability.
W. E. ANDREWS is a man that
makes a friend of every acquaint
ance , and he will concentrate the
force and energy of the republic
an party in the Fifth district as
no other man could do. His ac
quaintance over the district is as
yet limited but there is ample
time for him to become fully and
thoroughly acquainted with the
voters before the election. He has
visited several places already and
has made a splendid impression
in every instance. It only re
quires one of Mr. Andrew's speech
es to enlighten the people to his
ability and fitness for the position
* to which he has been nominated.
"Mr. Andrews is an earnest and an
aosest man and does not talk one
- tiimg and mean another , He doe
-aot 'evade and beat around th
"aush OD the vital questions of thj
day , but starts in at the root anc
in a plain and lucid manner define !
liis position. A vote for Mr. An
v drews is a vote for a man that wil
-represent the district as it has uol
been represented since the days o ;
the late lamented James Laird.
Tammany heelers in New
"York are about where Henry "Wat-
- terson said the democratic party
" weeks "between
was a few ago
'the devil and the deep sea. " li
they go to work and elect Giover's
ticket in New York they will make
themselves out liars of the first
jyater. The last man of the Tam-
nnany delegation signed a solemn
protest against the nomination of
trrover because he could not pos
sibly carry the state. If he does
carry it , who will be so poor as to
Jo reverence to Tammany hereaf
ter ? But if Grover loses NewYork
IPaininauy will be airaigned as a
traitor to the democratic party and
will have no standing hereafter in
national councils. Whatever Tam
many does now will count against
the organization. The very best
thing that the sachems could do
in the premises is to throw up
their organization , disband the so
ciety , and seek oblivion in everlast
ing obscurity. It made a big bluff
and failed. " Under the circum
stances failure was suicide. Jour-
THERE can be no better cam
paign argument for the republican
party than the commercial report
of the B. G. Dun agency for the
fiscal year just closed. It says : "A
fiscal year never matched in the
whole history of the country in
industrial products , in magnitude
of domestic changes or foreign
trade , has just closed. The im
ports for the year have been $333-
000,000 , the increase at New York
in June over last year being about
18 per cent. Expoits from New
York gained 15.4 per cent and the
aggregate for the year has been
about $1,027,000,000. Railroad
earnings have been the largest in
any year thus far , and clearings in
June the largest ever known in that
month , exceeding last year 8 per
cent , and for the whole year the
largest ever known outside of New
York. Failures for the half-year
have been 5,503 , against 6,074 in
1891 , and liabilities , $62,000,000 ,
against $02,000,000 , and , on the
whole , about the smallest for five
years. In spite of low prices ad
dition ! works are going into opera
tion , even iu the iron manufacture ,
and yet more in woolen and cotton.
Moreover , the crops of this year
promise to be very satisfactory , and
he new halfyea1begins with ex
cellent prospects. " What brighter
prospects could this nation have in
naterial prosperity ? Why this
3maha convention. Bee.
RETURNS from the general elec-
ions in Great Britain indicate a
iberal triumph and the retirement
of Lord Salisbury from the prem
iership to be succeeded by Mr.
Gladstone. . That in turn would
predict home rule for Ireland.
This result of parliamentary elec
tion has been expected , and was
foreshadowed by the by-elections
lield during the past few months ,
[ t is undoubtedly true that confi-
lence in the outcome was weak
ened by the possible influence of
ihe recent Ulster demonstration
ipoii English voters , bat more es
pecially by the disgraceful f action-
il broil in Ireland , kept alive by
ihe bigoted resentment manifested
: owards Parnell's memory and ex
pressed towards his followers.
WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE , if
lives until next December , will
have served sixty years in the
British parliament. This is a
longer term of office than that en
joyed so far by his mistress , Queen
Victoria. It cannot be matched
in this country , and there are
probably mighty- few cases of the
kind in England , where entrance
into political life was easier a half
century ago to a boy straight from
the university than it is now , or
'
ever was in the United States.
Mr. Talbot of Glamorganshire
comes next to Mr. Gladstone with
an uninterrupted career of forty-
five years in parliament.
BISMARCK was not brought up in
the woods to be scared by an owl.
The threats of prosecution from
Berlin stirs the old man up , and
his personal organ assures the
government that it will hear a
good deal more criticism of the
same sort , only hotter and heavier
when the prince takes his seat ir
the reichstag. It also conjectures
the ex-chancellor would
- espec
ially enjoy a criminal prose
cution as a dramatic closing of his
political career. On the whole the
young emperor's bluff seems to
have failed. Journal.

ASK an independent whom lie
thinks will be the next president ,
and he will tell you Cleveland ; ask
him who will be governor of Neb. ,
and he will tell you the indepen
dent candidate ; ask him how he
knows , and see what he will say.
The real facts , if the truth was
told , are that a combination is
talked of by the leaders of both
the democratic and independent
parties looking toward the trade of
democratic votes on the state tick
et for the independent votes for
presidential electors. The demo
crats have no hppe of electing state
officers and the independents have
no possible chance of electing a
president , so the trade would be
mutually beneficial. It is anything
to beat the republicans , and it
matters not how it is done. Minden -

A NEW JERSEY man has been
arrested and imprisoned in Ger
many for indulging in invidious
language against the Emporer. If
every foreigner in America who
shoots off his mouth against the
institutions of this country were to
be deprived of his liberty , the
prisons of the land would be over
crowded in a very short time.
THE defeat of Henry M. Stan
ley as a candidate for a member

A man who is compelled to depend
upon his wife to present his claims

ought never to think of running

A NEW YORK scientist has warn
ed the public that it must avoid ice
cream not made of pure cream and
thus secure immunity from tyro-
toxicon and verdigris. Every young

of emergency.
IT is complimentary to the negro

of state of Kausas , is the only col
