governor of Nebraska this year nor does he deserve to be Mike Harrington If It Was True When He Said It It Is True Now The second objection is that he Judge Parker can not win With such candi date the battle will begin with a foot race and end with a rout William Jen nings Bryan in the Commoner If It Was True When He Said It It is True Now I see very little difference between the platform of the Republican and Democratic parties but the Democratic party is the more thoroughly under the control of the money changers than the Republican party ever dared to be T H Tibbies Populist candidate for vice president If It Was True When He Said It It Is True Now Not a single Populist who has been so in the past from principle can here after have any fellowship with the Democratic party that is no longer a party representing the people butunder the leadership of Hill becomes as much if not more so the party of organized wealth and corporationsas the Republi can party Eric Johnson editor

VS JAPAN Battle of Occasioned on Similar Lines t History recites that the most trivial disputes in their commencement have occasioned some of the bloodiest war fares between opposing countries Whether or not the origin of theJRussia Japan trouble can be classed in this cat egory cortain it is that the battle of Paardeberg originated from just such a source With theWaltorL Main circus which exhibits here on August 29 one of the most costly and instructive features on the program is a correct military pro duction of the Paardeberg battle Big circuses like all other institutions solic iting public
