The returns from tho Vermont election
6hov a Republican majority of about
32000 This is protty good evidence that
those staid old Pilgrims are not afraid
of Teddy
One need not keep his ear very closo
to the ground to hear of the growing
popularity of Congressman Norris His
majority will be much larger than it
was two years since
The Republicans stand by their prin
ciples so successfully asserted in 1896
and 1900 The Democratic factions are
held together very loosely by two strings
one representing fear and the other hope
Is the party that fought the estab
lishment of the gold standard with a
frenzy bordering upon fanaticism to be
considered to have foievor recanted its
heresies Western Democrats do not
think so
Every visitor to the Igorrotte village
at the St Louis exposition will have his
opinion of the wisdom of the Democratic
demand that we withdraw from the
Philippines and give the natives the
right of self government
Kodropatkin is giving his Russian
compatriots a run for their money He
has been keeping up a running fight for
the past week with the Japanese The
Russians seem to be doing all the run
ning and the Japanese all tho fighting
worth mentioning
The nomination of H H Mauck of
Nelson for congress by the Democrats
and Populists of the Fifth district at
Hastings Wednesday of last week after
tho nomination had been offered to
numerous of the faithful without secur
ing a taker is a pretty fair indication
that this is an off year for Demo Pops in
the Big Fifth Only for representation
and something to point with pride to
in the future they might better have
endorsed Congressman Norris and made
his selection unanimous Holdrege

DOING AND DENOUNCING
It must be remembered that the party
which is today denouncing Roosevelt
and the Republicans is the same party
which denounced Lincoln and called the
war a failure in 1864 It is the same
party that denounced Grant in 1872 It
denounced McKinley up to the very
hour of his death It is very easy to de
nounce It is not so easy to do Ever
since 1860 the Republican party and its
leaders have been doing while the Dem
ocratic party and its leaders have been
denouncing And yet the old flag still
waves the constitution is still supreme
Republican policies have carried the

The Oldest Lawsuit
A lawsuit which may probably be
claimed as tho oldest in the world Is re
ported from the Trentina says the Lon
don Mail The two communes of Galllo
and Foza have been for four centuries
In litigation for the possession of an ex
tensive tract of woodland which has
assumed the character of a virgin for
est with trees of colossal size which no
man dares to truck Spots are still
pointed out where 200 years ago the
two communes fought pitched battles
for the disputed wood Apparently the
Homeric struggle Is as far from closing
as ever

Heavier Engines Required
After running No 41 tho Portland
limited on the Burlington out of Lin
coln with two engines pulling it for a
month or more the company has placed
one of the new R4 engines in service
This engine the CB Q 1901 pulled
the train otit of Lincoln last night on its
initial passenger run This is one of the
new series recently bought by tho Bur
lington It is a machine of great size
and pulling capacity and said to be
capable of fair speed performances al
though it does not show so much speed
in its appearance as the lighter machines
bought a year or more ago These en
gines carry six drivers and one pair of
trucks in front The drivers are set far
ahead under the boiler and are not
nearly so large in diameter as the engines
of the P2 class used on the main line
west It has a 22x28 inch cylinder and
a boiler of tremendous size While it
has great weight and pulling capacity it
is not so high in the air as some of the
engines in use The top of the boiler is
level thus giving it more of a common
place appearance Lincoln Journal

m The old theory that consumption was
inherited is utterly discredited by modern
medical science The germs of con
sumption must be received from with
out These germs are every where
They are constantly being received and
cast out by the
healthy system
It is the narrow
chested whose in
heritance is weak
ness who fall a
prey to consump
tion because they
are too weak of
lung to resist and
throw off disease

weak and short of breath lost flesh and had no

would soon be a victim of that dreaded disease

Golden Medical Discovery a fair trial I com
menced its use I weigh 160 pounds now and
