IT was u powerful combination that
Senator Thurston and his friends went
up agaitibt at Lincoln , this week , but it
was a glorious victory for the senator ,
who is several lively stages from being a
dead duck yet.
THE Republicans of Nebraska must
now bury completely out of sight all
personal and factional differences , put
on their fighting clothes , fight a good
fightand in November victory will perch
high on the party's banner.
HON. W. S. MOKI.AN of McCook was
nominated for congressman by the Re
publicans of the 1'ifth district at their
convention at Holdrege , this week. The
"deacon" is a strong man and a sure
winner. Good-bye , Mr. Sutherland , take
keer o' yerself. Palisade Press.
W. S. MORGAN is not a boy orator.
He has grown gray in tne practice of his
profession in Southwestern Nebraska ,
and is recognized as the most able attor
ney in this section. His fidelity to a
client is unquestioned. His honesty and
integrity are beyond reproach. If he is
elected to congress he will represent the
people of this district as conscientiously
as he has served his clients in the prac
tice of his profession Beaver City Trib
une.
IN A report to the adjutant general of
the United Stales army , Chaplain Chas.
C. Pierce states , as the result of his ex
perience , that "the morale of our army
has greatly improved in the thirteen
years I have been permitted to judge of
it by personal contact with its soldiers ,
and it gives me pleasure to refer to
Bishop Potter of New York , who was
my guest for six days prior to my de
parture from Manila , ami to the surprise
manifested by him at the groundlessness
of many of the charges and criticisms
which had been voiced in America b3"
many persons , in connection with this
subject. I think he will join me in say
ing that our army is composed of men
of quite as high a type as the ranks in
civil life from which they were recruited ,
and that they are men worthy of a na
tion's honor. "
THAT our salts to the orient are rap
idly growing is shown by the latest ex
port figures of the bureau of statistics.
While there has been a continued growth
in our exports during the past fiscal year ,
by far the largest percentage of gain has
been in our trade with the orient. To
Europe , our exports during the eight
months ending with February , increased
5.4 per cent as compared with the corresponding
pending months of the preceding fiscal
year ; to South America , 8 per cent ; to
North America , 13 3 per cent ; to Asia , 38
per cent ; to Oceanica , 51 per cent , or to
Asia and Oceanica combined , 44 per
cent ; while to Africa there was a slight
reduction , owing to the disarrangement
of commercial conditions there by reason
of hostilities. Taking our exports as a
whole , it is found thas the increase dur
ing the eight months has been 9 per
cent , while the increase to Asia and
Oceanica has been 44 per cent.
ONE of the most dishonest pretexts
upon which the Democracy is attempt
ing to get back into power and treat the
country to another spell of the dumps ,
such as it went through during the last
Cleveland free trade administration , is
that it is necessary to overturn the Ding-
ley law and protection in order to over
turn the trusts. People should under
stand that it is the natural Democratic
itching for free trade , and no real abhor
rence of the trusls , which makes the
Democratic party clamor for the destruc
tion of the Dingley law. Democrats
everywhere show that they are not
afraid of the trusts. They are members
of trusts themselves , stuffing their pock
ets with trust stock , and engaging as
lustily in the business of trust promotion
as any Republican. Mr. Havenieyer ,
who so loudly denounced the tariff as
the mother of trusts , is at the head of
the most arbitrary and oppressive trust
in the country , the great sugar trust , and
he always contributes to Democratic
campaign funds. But the falsity of his
declaration is shown by the fact that
England , a purely free trade country , is
overrun with trusts ; every country in
Europe , no matter what its tariff or
whether it has any tariff at all , has its
trusts , and usually a good many of them ;
and trusts are even formed in Japan.
The trust movement is world wide and
has no relation whatever to tariffs , a fact
known as well to Democratic anti-trust
howlers as to anybody under the sun ;
but unfortunatelj' with them , a lie well
stuck to is better than the truth.

STATE CONVENTION.
Republicans do Their Work in Fine
Order.
HARMONY IS THE WATCHWORD
Thurston Wins His Fight. Dietrich for

The Republicans of Nebraska assem
bled in state convention at half past two
o'clock , Wednesday afternoon , and in
four hours of straightforward work , set
tled all of their differences , named a full
state ticket , and adjourned amid the best
of feeling and with a strong conviction
that they had planted the seeds of a de
cisive victory.
The only conflict of any importance
in the selection of
came delegates-at-
large to the national convention. An
effort was made by the opponents of
Senator Thurston to send Noiris Brown
of Kearney to Philadelphia in his stead.
During the balloting on these delegate
the interest was tense and the air of the
vast hall was surcharged with excite
tiieut. When the roll call showed the
senator to be safely in the lead his
friends gave expression to their joy in a
long and loud demonstration. Then
the convention settled down to routine
business and finished everything in a
single industrious and well ordered sit
ting.
