Republican Senatorial Convention.
The Republican electors of the Twenty-
Ninth Senatorial district are requested to send
delegates from their respective counties to
meet in convention in the city of McCook ,
Nebraska , Thursday , September 13,1900 , at J
o'clock , p. m. , for the purpose of placing in
nomination a candidate for the office of state
senator and for the transaction of such other
business as may properly come before the
convention.
The several counties are entitled to repre
sentation as follows :
The apportionment being based on the vote
cast for lion. M. B. Reese for supreme judge
in 1899 , giving each county one delegate at
large and one delegate for each lee votes and
major fraction thereof.
It is recommended that no proxies be ad
milled to the convention , hut that the dele
gates present be authorized to cast the full
vote of the county they represent.

COLONEL HITCHCOCK of the Omaha
World-Herald modestly announces his
candidacy for Senator Thurston's toga.
It wouldn't fit him if he got it but he
won't get it. -
COLLIS P. HUNTINGTON , president of
the Southern Pacific railroad , died at his
summer home in the Adirondacks ,
Tuesday night , of heart failure. His
fortune is estimated by Wall street at
between forty and fifty millions.
CERTAINLY there were no more gal
lant soldiers in the war than General
Wheeler , General Fitzhugh Lee and oth
ers whose names are known throughout
the country. With such a record in
bringing on the war and fighting it to a
successful issue why the south should
oppose President McKinley for attempt
ing to secure the results of the war is
more than can be easily understood.
On the issue of imperialism the south
stands with McKinley. Why should it
not support him ?
ONE year ago the Democrats could not
talk enough about the "trusts. " It was
a theory fondly held that the "trusts"
were held in trust for the Democratic
party as the "paramount" issue in 1896.
Why is it that there is so little talking
about the "trusts" by the Democrats
now ? Were it not that the writer of the
anti-trust plank of'the Democratic plat
form , Van Wyck , has kept the trust is
sues fresh on ice ; that Richardson of
Tennessee , who presided over the Kan
sas City gathering , through his private
book trust , has made the "trust issue"
an open book ; that Senator Jones , chair
man of the Democratic national com
mittee , has found a trustworthy use of a
"trust" in cotton as a means of extract
ing "velvet ; " tbatBryan himself is seek
ing to get elected by means of a political
fusion "trust ; " the "trust" issue in pol
itics would , during this campaign , be a
rather rusty issue.
ALT , the historic precedents favor the
re-election of President McKinley , for
no president has ever run for a second
term , with a united party behind him ,
who was not re-elected. The presidents
a
who have held two terms were Wash
ington , Jefferson , Madison , Monroe ,
Jackson , Lincoln and Grant. These
were re-elected either by the whole people
ple , as in the case of Washington and
Monroe , or by an undivided party vote.
The presidents who were defeated for a
second term were John Adams , John
Quincy Adatns , Martin Van Buren , Grover -
ver Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison ,
and in each case their defeat was due to
dissensions in their own party , and they
were not loyally supported. The most
recent instances , Harrison and Cleve
land , are within the memory of every
one. The former's quarrel with Blaine
lost him many votes , while Cleveland
was defeated in New York by one of the
Democratic factious. But there are no
divisions in the Republican party today ,
based on the spirit of faction or enmity
to McKinley. The party stands four
square to the world , presenting an un
broken front in every direction. The
dissensions are in the Democratic party ,
not the Republican.

THE death of J. J. Ingals removes a
prominent figure from American politics
and letters.
THERE are eighteen reasons why W.
S. Morlan should be elected to congress
from the Fifth district of Nebraska.
They are as follows : Adams , Chase ,
Clay , Dundy , Franklin , Frontier , Fur-
nas , Gosper , Hall , Harlan , Hayes , Hitch
cock , Kearney , Nuckolls.Perkins.Phelps ,
Red Willow and Webster. Beaver City
Tribune. .
THE southern people are now and al
ways have been in favor of expansion.
It was through the influence of the south
and of southern statesmen that Louisi
ana , Florida , Texas , California and Oregon
gen were acquired. Imperialism is the
traditional policy of the south , if expan
sion means imperialism. No part of the
union was more eager to free Cuba from
the Spanish oppression than the south
It was the southern Democrats in con
gress who uuited with the Republican !
of the north-west and far west to bring
on the war.
WHEN the Republican county conven
tiou meets in September there will be
no other name presented for state senator
except that of E. N. Allen. Ask anyone
whom the Republicans will nominate
and the response comes quickly , "Why ,
Ed Allen of course. " So it is a settled
fact Ed has the nomination right within
his grasp. As to his acceptance we can
not say , but we believe he will not turn
a deaf ear to the unanimous voice of the
party. Ed is more popular than he wa :
a year ago and about his re-election there
can be no doubt ; the only question in
our mind is , how much bigger will hij
majority be ? Cambridge Clarion.
THERE is an interesting subsidence of
the hue and cry from Democratic sources
about "militarism. " The phenomenon
has been coincidental with Bryan's long
silence about China , and final confession
that the administration was doing the
right thing there. If "militarism" is
right in China , as Mr. Bryan admits ,
why is it wrong in the Philippines ?
Troops in China may avenge crimes that
have been committed , but can never re
store the lives of people that have been
already massacred. In the Philippines
the use of American troops has prevented
the perpetration of such horrors as in
China have shocked the whole world ,
including even Mr. Bryan. Manila was
prevented from becoming a charnel
house only through the vigilance of
American troops who were on guard
duty the night that Aguinaldo had set
for the general massacre of all Americans
and Europeans in that city. How about
the old adage that "An ounce of preven
tion is worth one pound of cure ? "
MR. BRYAN doubtless feels internally
vexed over the praises bestowed upon
him since his nomination , by prominent
English papers like the "Spectator. "
It must be naturally disagreeable to be
taken for a friend by a nation against
which he wants to wage a wordy war in
the hope of gaining the votes of such
people in this country as feel hostile to
it. The English apparently care noth
ing about Bryan's pro-Boer protestations ,
for they do not believe Mr. Bryan as
president would be [ militant enough to
involve the Anglo-Saxon countries in
aloody war by going any further than
offering to mediate , as President Mc-
Kiuley did. Why England wishes for
Bryan's election is because he is a free
trader. By closing the mills of the Unit
ed States the mills of England would do
bigger business. The work that Mr.
Bryan would take away from American
workmen would go to the workmen of
England. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

much of the strain comes. It helps be
cause the pores of the skin readily absorb

Morning sickness is quickly banished ,

The sense of dread and foreboding is not

Knnt , ConUIlnt ; and Curtis.
It is to be suspected that some of
Tom Nast's wittiest work with his
marvelous pencil was "printed , not
published" was intended simply to
gratify his friends and never met the
eyes of the general public. Not long
ago , In looking over the album of a
lady who for years was a social leader
at Washington , I came across a con
tribution of Nast's which was as ef
fective In its way as any of the cartoons
teens which have made his name fa
mous.
He wanted to Impress upon the lady
that Washington life had been too
much for him and did so by drawing
a capital full length picture of himself
as he appeared walking along the ave
nue. What gave the picture point and
rendered It irresistible was the fact
that the back of his head was where
his face ought to be in other words ,
Washington had turned his head.
I suppose the politicians still recall
Roscoc Conkling's famous allusion to
the great cartoonist in his Rochester
speech "dedicated" to George William
Curtis. Mr. Curtis at the time was the
editor of Harper's Weekly , a position
which he had held for many years. In
the course of his philippic Mr. Conkling
took occasion to refer to The Weekly ,
and , although Mr. Curtis sat listening
to him , he described It simply as "the
paper made famous by the pencil of
Nast. " New York Mail and Express.

Tragic stories are told of men who
have lost their lives In the search for
precious metals which may He hidden
or uncovered , says Harriet Monroe In
The Atlantic. The great primeval
flood cut its broad V through all the
strata of rock , with all their veins of
metallic ore , down to the earliest
shapeless mass , leaving In Its wake the
terraced temples and towers which
seem to have been planned by some
architect of divinest genius to guard
their inaccessible treasures till the end
of time. And the river , rising far to
the north among mountains rich In
mineral , has been washing for ages
the sands away and depositing thus
gold and silver and lead In the still
crevices of the inaccessible chasm.
Here the earth laughs at her human
master and bids him Ond her wealth
If he dare and bear it away if he can.
A young Callfornlan who accepted the
challenge and set forth upon the turgid
water to sift its sands for gold never
emerged with his hapless men to tell
the story of his search. Only near the
brink of the cleft are a few miners
burrowing for copper and sending their
ore up to the rim on the backs of hardy
burros , as who should prick the moun
tain with a pin or measure the ocean
with a cup.
Got the Correct Time.
Jake Foster was for many years one
of the characters of Oregon , Mo. He
drove the hack between Oregon and
Forest City and was known to every
man , woman and child In Holt county.
Oregon is three miles from the railroad
and for many years was not connected
with any other town by either tele
graph or telephone. One morning Rob
ert Montgomery hailed Foster as the
hack started for Forest City and said :
"Jake , I wish you would get the cor
rect time at Forest. My watch stopped
last night. "
"All right , Bob , " said Jake.
"When Jake returned from Forest , he
put up his team and walked around to
the bank where Montgomery presided.
Stalking into the bank , Jake stepped
up to the window and laid down a
soiled bit of paper bearing the figures
" 11:17. "
"What is that ? " asked Montgomery
in astonishment.
"That , " replied Jake , "is the correct

Ltinprs and Long : Life.
One of the most remarkable cases of \
longevity on record was that of an
Englishman , born in 1483 , whose deli
cate appearance made all the doctors
rj
give him up when he was in the cra '
dle. His chest was so narrow , says tc
the report , that he seemed to have
difficulty in breathing. Well , this
young moribund , condemned by the
doctors to die in short order , died in
1C31 at the age of 1GO. He saw the
reign of ten kings.
Secuudi Hango , consul of Venice at
Smyrna , measured only 57 centimeters
around the chest , and one of his lungs >
was diseased. Nevertheless he lived :
to the age of 115 years. He was mar It
ried live times and had 49 children. SD
When he was 100 years old , he got his SDai
wisdom teeth. When he was 110 , his ai
hair turned black again. At 112 his
eyebrows and his beard turned black.

Proved His Theory.

ago entertained a visiting scientist at
the Union club , before its amalgama ar

made some whimsical remark convey

conductor of sound. dc
The scientist took exception to this
novel theory and asked Mr. McAllister
on what it was based.
"On phenomena which we have all j :
observed. " returned the ready jurist.
