THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT
I M RICE
EDITOR
100 Per Year in Advance
PUBLI8HED EVERY THURSDAY
Entered at 1 to e Post office at Valentine Cherry
ountr Ifebrajka as Becond class matter
This paper will be mailed regularly
to its subscribers until a definite order
to discontinue is received and all ar
rears are paid in full
The republicans are either proud of
the actions of Thurston or they were
afraid to turn him down Can it be
that they are proud of such an action as
prosecuting the state which the people
have elected him to defend Is that of
fense not as grave as that of Arnold or
Andre Can it be that the republican
party of today is so far lost to the sense
of a nuty due to our state the honor of
uprightness gone and plainly say that
we endorse Thurstons policy by
sending him as our delegate to the
national convention What can the
people of the United States expect from
such representation as the Oil Trust
Does your interest run parallel with
that organization Can you endorse
the men whom they expect to serve
their interests Awake my republican
friends Too long have you slumbered
while the meshes of the corporation
net have entangled you Shake off the
apparent smiling bui grinning and his
sing tricksters that by their smoothness
have from time to time deceived you
into sticking to the
0 p
Brother Lyon of the Gordon Journal
never misses a chance to make use of
his ready wit and humor He com
ments upon an article as the trees
leaving down at Valentine and did
you notice how readily he associates
the name Rice with a pudding Per
haps he was thinking that the frater
nity would have a pudding The fra
ternity has long beeu aware that they
have a Lyon to resist and they have
not yet found a Daniel
The g o p made a few concessions
all around in the interest of har
mony and selected a state ticket
which they ask you to accept without
inquiring whether thry are the kind of
men you want or not Do not ask any
questions about them for you might
learn something that will poison your
minds against them Just vote the
ticket boys Its the g o p with a
few concessions But what matters
that
The republican press is
instructing
its followers to not listen to criticisms
on the republican nominees Such nar
row minded doctrine is just vhat the
g o p is made up from and they are
not willing that you should study these
matters for yourself from partisan pa
pers as it might poison your minds
So dont eat of the forbidden fruit boys
it is dangerous You may get your eyes
open
The republicans are laying back on
their ill gotten gains and say We
dont cars so much now if Bryan is
elected We got the legisiation through
that we were all clamoring for and
twill take him a long time to undo us
and well draw in our money to make
the people believe that Bryan has
caused hard times and get our men
elected in 1901 if we have to conduct
another campaign of education
We hope to attend the E V E A
at Gordon June 2d and get acquaint
ed with our brethren Until such time
as we have had an introduction it
would be rude to comment freely gupon
the articles which come to our vision
through our exchanges
ALWAYS THE SAME
A Large Majority of the Ministers and
Leading Laymen Were Against
Liberty Then as Now
The following may be found in Hol
lands life of Abraham Lincoln
Mr Newton Bateman superintend
ent of public instruction for the state of
Illinois occupied room adjoining and
opening into the executive chamber
Frequently this door was open during
Mr Lincolns receptions and through
out the seven months or more of Ins
occupation Mr Bateman saw him near
ly every day
Often when Mr Lincoln was tired
he closed his door agaiustali intrusion
ami called Mi iiateman into his room 1
for a quiet talk On one of these occa
sions Mr Lincoln took up a book con
taining a careful canvass of the city of
Springfield in which lie lived showing
the candidate for whomBQcltitizen
had declared his intention to wte in
the approaching election Mr Lin
colns friends Jiad doubtless at
quest placed the result of the canvas in the party name

his hands This was towards the close
of October and only a few days beTore
the election Calling Mr Bateman to
a M it at his side having previously
lo ked all the doors he said Let us
look over this book I wish particular
ly to see how the ministers of Spring
field are going to vote The leaves
were turned one by one and as the
names were examined Mr Lincoln fre
quently asked if this one and that one
was not a minister or an elder or a
member cf such and such a churchand
sadly expressed his surprise on receiv
ing an affirmative answer In that
manner they went through the book
and then he closed it and sat silently
and for some minutes regarding a
memorandum in pencil which lay be
fore him At length he turned to Mr
Bateman with a face full of sadness
rnd said Here are twenty three min
isters of different denominations and
all of them are against me but three
and here are a great many prominent
members of the churches a very large
majority of whom are against me Mr
Bateman I am not a Christian God
knows I would be one but I have care
fully read the Bible and I do not so
understand this book and he drew
from his bosom a pocket New Testa
ment These men well know he con
tinued that I am for freedom in the
territories freedom everywhere as far
as theconstitution and the Jaws will
permit and that my opponents are for
slavery They know this and yet
with ohis book in their hands in the
light of which human bondage cannot
live a moment they are going to vote
I do not understand it at all This
among other things taken from the life
and wprds of Lincoln was among the
documents that Senator Pettigrew
asked leave to have printed in tee Con
gressional Eecord The republicans
would not allow it to be done
LINCOLN NEWS
Crams Magazine is one of the latest
aspirants for popular favor One of its
editors Dr Eugene Murray Aaron is
contributing some valuable articles on
American Expansion The Pact and
the Theory In the current number
April Dr Murray Aaron covers the
Porto Rican question thoroughly One
of his paragraphs is well worth quoting
1 Every constitutional lawyer of
repute in the senate was arrayed against
the bill and finally voted for entire free
trade between the mainland and the
islands 2 The men by common
consent hitherto termed the trust sen
ators were arrayed on the side against
such freedom of trade so clearly de
manded by the constitution 3 Even
that senator who openly admits his at
torneyship for the Standard Oil Thurs
ton of Nebraska and professes to see
no wrong in deserting his seat while
in the pay of the country to defend the
corporation more than any other iden
tified with the gangrene which now at
tacks our very bone and sinew as a peo
ple was on hand to record his vote
against the Constitution for what is
the constitution among trusts to
adopt the current paraphrase of a long
historic query 4 JS motion to de
claie in effect that the constitution of
the United States not only followed but
accompanied the flag and that Porto
Rico was now thoroughly under its be
nign influence was tabled by a strictly
administration vote without discus
sion Dr Murray Aaron is a thor
ough paced republican to use his own
words but his articles against the ad
ministrations imperialistic expansion
are not lacking in vigorous protest
Mark Hanna sounded the keynote of
the republican party the other day at
the state convention at Columbus O
as regards its attitude toward the Phil
ippines Note how defiantly he says
I do not care whether you call it im
perialism or expansion But he may
have occasion to sing a different song
when the Germans Bohemians Danes
Swedes and many other nationalities
take him at his word Jand call it what
it really is imperialism
Republican papers are running an al
leged call for a delegate convention of
the peoples independent party of Neb
raska to be held in the city of Grand
Island June 27 1900 signed by Alfred
Fawkner chairman state executive
committee1 and E F Morearty sec
retary for the purpose of nominating
presidential electors aud state officers
These gentlemen have mistaken their
authority They have no power to call
a state convention of the peoples inde
pendent party because they are not
officers of the committee or even mem
bers of that party Xo populist has
any wish to deprive the mid roaders
the pleasure of holding a state conven
tion because with their ticket in the
field it will reduce the number of re
publican votes but their -convention

U S EXPERIMENT STATION NOTES
Blackleg
The Division of Animal Pathology of
the Nebraska Experiment Station of
the University of Nebraska has been
busy since the first of the year in the
distribution of the blackleg
vaccine in
which it is co operating with the Bu
reau of Animal Industry of the U S
Department of Agriculture The in
crease in the distribution is shown in
the Tact that during the year 1859 the
division furnished blackleg vaccine to
203 applicants in fifty six counties the
total number of doses being 23256
Since the 1st of January 1900 the di
vision has furnished the vaccine to 211
applicants in 47 counties the number
of doses aggregating 150fl0 In the
corresponding period of 1899 twenty
three applicants received 1000 dosesor
ona tenth as much as the present sea -
son This greater demand for vaccine
is due rather to an increased knowledge
of and confidence in the remedy than
to an increase in the prevalence of the
disease
The records show that the csills have
come from persons that used the vac
cine hist year and from their neighbors
The reports of the applicants sbow
that it has reduced the mortality abso
lute satisfaction having been given in
over ninety six per cent of the cases
This work is being taken up very en
thusiastically by farmers and stockmen
over the state It has been one of the
very important subjects that have been
discussed at farmers institutes by this
division of the station The division at
these institutes explained the process
of the manufacture of the vaccine and
how it is applied There is now ready
for publication by the station a bulletin
which treats on the subject in a popu
lar way dealing with the age and spe
cies of animals attacked the cause of
the disease disposition of the blackleg
carcass symptoms post mortem ap
pearances methods of treatment and a
full discussion of what is regarded as
the only reliable and economical meth
od vaccination
