COLONEL INGERSOLI , is now doubtles
better informed on important matter
he used to talk about so volubly , eloquently
entertainingly and with sucl
quently ,
daring lack of knowledge , but unfortu
nalely he is not in position to commuui

views. Genial , brilliant , humane an
philanthropjc these characteristics c
the great agnostic we love. And all th
rest of it was vanity.
THE Nebraska Conservative cruell
contrasts the military records of tw
famous colonels. He says of Colom
Theodore Roosevelt that he is hones
able ; brave and unselfish is war as he :
fearless and upright in peace. Of h

John T. McClure of that place , for tl
nomination for judge , and asks the pe

Populist ? " The Trenton Register se
ends the motion. The McCook Coinfo
thinks a Democrat , J. L. White of Curti
the proper caper. And still the questic
remains , "Why not nominate a Populi
for Judge ? " If not , why not ? Is it
question of principle or expediency ? C
is it a simple case of great minds diffe

is circulating its literature over this at
other sections of the west. It is state
that they have different kinds of "lite

schemes won't work everywhere , apps

several varieties of "suckers. " Clo

approached for information , have deni
