The gates of tbe South Omaha pack ing houses swing inward as well as outward. The Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben are bur nishing up their armor for the Impend ing tournament. Judging from the tone o' th nulplt orators, Omaha Is not quiu as it used to be. ' The man . who was selling Spanish titles for 4,000 was certainly getting all that they were worth. Another circus In town without an Insurrection in the city hall. Who got tbe free tickets this time? Having disbanded his deputies, Sheriff Tower has resumed business at bit old stand in tho court house. In the Jacksonfah gifroe of draw a full hand, beats two pair, and a ma jority of , the defunct convention lays out a writ of mandamus every time. It iss fortunate that President Roose velt's letter of acceptance has been re leased during the lull in the rear of Port Arthur and in tbe front of Mukden. The Canadian Pacific reports the first train robbery on that line in twenty-five years. " Evidently another American in dustry l seeking foreign fields for operation. The members of the Interparliamen tary conference cannot complain of luck of raw 'materia! upon which to work. Even South American revolutions are becoming fata:. Both sides of the impending national political contest seem to have greater fear of the force of General Apathy than that of the man who is plotting the adverse campaign. Since tbe Japanese have reported the discovery- of jum-dum' bullets in the Russian stores, at Liu o Yang there con be no dpubt as to the war spirit having Infected the populace of tbe Islands! ' When It has ' finally reached Paclm; waters the Russian Baltic fleet will 'probably be called upon to decide be tween the ice field of Vladivostok and au exceedlng'y warm Japanese sunburst at Part Arthur. The really, truly big show is billed with- the advent of tils royal highness. King' Ak-Sar-Ben the Great, the first week In October. Beside his irides cent mightiness all other spectacles sink Into flickering insignificance. Chicago Bourd of Trade operators who predict the price of $2 per bushel for wheat before the next crop Is har vested will do well not to buy grain on those i predictions until the cash price reaches at least $1.50. Jupiter Pluvtus seems to be tbe only power which has the temerity to inter vene Jn the far east in the Interests of even . temporary peace. So both Bides are blntnlng the weather for their fail ure to, make faster progress. Father Schell is of the opinion, that bankers 'who beat the Indians out of their pay checks work greater Injury to the aborigines then the bootleggers, but as there is not as many of the former at of the latter, deputy United States marshals cannot earn at much lu mileage by going after them. It It just possible that the test of tbe ability of the Irish to govern them selves, which still sterns to be a ques tion Irt Great Britain, may come sooner than expected, ' The nationalist deje gate may hold the balance of power In the British Parliament and not only govern Ireland, but the rest of tbe United Kingdom at well THE LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. No one who would be thoroughly In formed regarding the republican poal tlon In this campaign and the reasons In Justification of that position should fall to read carefully President Koose velfs letter of acceptance. It Is lucid frank and forceful in its statement of the attitude of the parties the democ racy hrsitatliik, Irresolute, discordaut, with no clearly defined issues; the re publican party standing squarely upon its re-ord, Its principle! and pollclee plainly set forth and its purpose to nd here to them If continued in power tin quallfledly declared. The democratic charges of usurpation and of disregard of the constitution by the present administration are conclu sively answered by the president. In the case of Tannina the action taken was In conformity with the powers vested In th president by the constitu tlnn. In the matter of the pension or der, which the democrats assert was an encroachment upon the authority of congress, it was made In pursuance of existing law and In accord with prece dent. In regard to the anthracite coal ftrlke arbitration, as to which the presi dent ected as an Individual and not In hit official capacity, It Is pointed out that it was only this action "which pre vented the movement for national own ership of the coal fields from gaining what might well have been an Irresisti ble impetus." In reference to the crltl clsms of the administration's foreign policy the president submits Interroga tories which the democrats will find it difflenlt to reply to in a way to Justify their criticisms. The president shows that t is not safe to trust the maintenance of tho gold standard to the democratic party, for the reason that the party is not unanimous In support of the standard and has not renounced the free silver heresy for which It contended during eight years. "A determination to re main silent," says the president, "can not he accepted as equivalent to a re cantation," nor will It be by the con servative financial and business Inter ests of the country. What Is said by the president on the subject of capital and labor must commend itself to all fair minded citizens. The organization of each is recognized ns the natural out come of our industrial system and each Is to be favored so long as It acts In the spirit of Justice and of regard for the rights of others. The president Is "rm la the conviction that. the policy of protection to our ' tdustries must be maintained and he shows that every class of our peopla is benefited by the protective tariff, none more to than the agricultural producers, who have real ized nnder the existing tariff a greater measure of prosperity than ever before. He correctly says that "the future of American agriculture is bound up in the future of 'American manufactures. The two industries have become, under the economic policy of our government, so closely Interwoven, so mutually Inter dependent, that neither can hope to maintain itself at the high-water mark of progress without the othpr. What ever makes to the advantage of one Is equally to the advantage of the other. The president discusses tbe charge of extravagance and shows that In order to make any materlol reduction in the expenditures of--the government It would 1 necessary to abandon a num ber of things which are of great public benefit. The democratic promise of in dependence to the Filipinos receives ex tended consideration and the mistake and folly of such a position, under existing conditions, are clearly and strongly pointed on. The letter Is marked throughout by a vigor and directness characteristic of Its author and there can be no doubt that It will make a good Impression upon the country and greatly strengthen the republican cause. PERPLEXING THE CANDIDATE. If Judge Parker has found tbe prep aration of his letter of acceptance a per plexing task the fact Is due to the varied counsel of the organs upon which be chiefly relies to promote the democratic campaign. These New York newspapers are widely divergent In their views at to what the candidate should and should not give prominence in his. letter. Two of the more influential of them have been persistently urging hfm not to sty any thing about the Philippines. One asserts that there it nothing to be gatncet by keeping the issue of the Philippines to the fore and that the democrat! have lost votes already- by the attempt to keep that question in view. The other cries, "Let them alone; they are doing quite well. The United States is ful filling the obligations imposed by treaty. The people of the United States are not partial to a policy of scuttle. The Stars and Stripes will not come down. Be neath them the forces of civilization are at work, with not the faintest pos sibility that In the name of the Ameri can people will they be called to a halt" On the other hand are organs which in sist tkat the candidate must stand squarely on the platform in favor of the promiso of Independence, warning Judge Parker if he does not do so he will lose many Independent votes. There it also difference of opinion in regard to how the candidate should treat the taslff question, though a majority of the organs would have him take a rad ical position. The paper, however, that Is perhaps most Influential with Judge Parker, advises hhn not to antagonize the policy pf protection, telling him that a vast mujority of the American people are favorable to that policy and that to commit the democracy to ltt overthrow would be to make defeat inevitable. It has been the understanding that tbe can didate himself is not friendly to protec tion: It could not be determined from his speech of acceptance Just how he does stand on this question, but it It to be presumed that bit letter of accept ance will convey a more definite Idea as to hit position on the tariff. ' It it prob ably safe to say that be will not endorse the platform declaration that protection Is robbery. With the leading newspapers thot are supporting the democratic national ticket so markedly at variance on the questions which the national convention made most prominent In the platform, and which are subjects of commanding Inter est with the people, it Is conceivable that Judge Parker has had no end of worry In deciding what advice to follow, for in these matters he can take no middle ground. The so-called antl-lmperlallsts will tolerate no compromise, while the free trade element will not be satisfied with any concession, however slight, to tariff protection. It. Is manifestly an embarrassing and perplexing situation for the candidate, who must realize that It Is hardly possible for him to avoid giving dissatisfaction to some of his party. THE FONTANELLE PLA1FOR.V. The board of governors of tbe Fonta- nelle club have promulgated a platform upon which the so-called "antl-machlne" candidates for the legislature propose to Invoke the support of republicans of Douglas county at the primaries to be held on October 7. The Fontanelle platform is constructed of these four planks: 1. The fair and uniform assessment of all taxable property whether corporate or In dividual. With this proposition nobody can dis agree even if he were so disposed. It is engrafted in the organic law of Ne braska and will remain in force during the life of our present constitution. 2. The limitation of main line rights-of- way of all railway companies so that ter minal facilities may be taxed for the bend fit of school districts, municipalities and counties within which they are situated as In the case of all other property. This declaration Is , indefinite. The broad proposition that the right-of-way of all railroads shall be limited by law Is eminently sound, but the declaration In its favor would be worthless unless the width of the right-of-way is ex pressly defined. In most of the eastern states the railroad right-of-way Is fifty feet in width. In Pennsylvania it Is sixty-six feet. In the states west of the Mississippi the right-of-way has ranged from SO to 100 feet in width. A right- of-way in Nebraska ranges from 100 feet to 400 feet. The proposition to subject railroad terminals to local as sessment Is confusing. The" demand should be narrowed down to the assess ment of railroad terminals for municipal purposes by the tax commissioner or municipal assessors instead of the state board. t. The extension of the power of the Omaha Water board to Include all matters respecting the acquisition and control of the water plant, the fixing of water rates and the payment of hydrant rentals. This plank is superfluous as well as absurd. The water board already ' has all the powers Respecting the acquisition and control of tbe water plant that can be conferred upon it by any. act pf the legislature. Until the city hat acquired the water works the board will have nothing to do but draw salaries. If the city acquires the works there will be no hydrant rental, consequently no such function as fixing hydrant rentals need be conferred upon It. If the city does not buy the works the present hydrant rental cannot be changed until the city's contract with tbe water -company ex pires on September 4, 1908. Unless the city does buy the works the board can not fix the rates to private consumers any more than the mayor and council can so do. These rates were authorized by the original contract between the city and the water company and the city cannot repudiate the contract be cause the courts have so declared time and again. 4. The continuance of the Omaha Water board undar Its present organization with no legislative hindrance of Its. functions. This plank also is superfluous. No body proposes to repeal the law under which the present water board is acting and nobody will Interpose 1 legislative hindrance of Its functions. The only possible hindrance to the continuation of the board will come through the courts. Should the law be declared Invalid any act amending the law would be equally void. In any event, the platform of the Fon tanelle club presents no Issues over which a heated contest can be precipi tated. Tbe Fontanelle club's platform, upon which It proposes to invite legislative aspirants to stand, has one hidden but paramount plank. If the intending can didate will only pledge undying and irreconcilable hostility to the machine any backsliding on tax reform and mu nicipal ownership of water works will be cheerfully overlooked. The republican presa throughout the state gives manifest evidence of satis faction with tbe nomination of John L. Kennedy for congress in this Second district. Mr. Kennedy is respected and admired wherever he is known, and he it pretty widely known at that all over Nebraska at well as here at borne. Having thot off all itt heavy artillery at Governor Mickey thus early In the campaign, the demo-pop organ will have to place an order for another supply of ammunition. It will be surprising If it does not resurrect the Rockefeller donation to tbe State university before it gett through. The humor of tbe present fusion cam paign in Nebraska lies 'in the fact that the populists tee tbelr only chance to make votes for Watson to be to take their democratic allies away from Par ker. This it an alliance at it an alli ance. No one expects the Japanese to at tempt to cut out a Russian vessel in the Golden Gate. Some naval commanders have good Judgment la selecting the neutral port tn which they will rest from the strain of warfare. Chlcaejo Record-Herald.

Cleveland leader. It is gratifying to know that the class of immigrants who reached our shores during the twelve months ending June SO, 1904, was far better as to grade than In any previous fiscal year! It will astonish some to know that, despite the low rates that prevailed In May and June, the total of Immigrants Is materially less than those shown In previous reports. General Koarnpat kin. Chicago Inter Ocean. English as well as Russian newspapers are praising General Kouropatkln for ex tricating his army, from the . enveloping movements at LUo. Yang and for conduct ing a remarkably successful retreat to Mukden. He deserves all the commenda tion he Is receiving, because from the first he has been handicapped. He had to or ganize an army to meet a great army al ready organised and In his Immediate front. Trained to aggressive, offensive warfare, he has been compelled, to act always on the defensive. Schooled by experience In bold Initiative, he has been compelled to fight and retreat. The. applause of the world has been for the generals opposing him. It la meet that simple Justice be done the man who fought his army like a Sherman and who conducted a retreat like a Slgel or a Joe Johnston. - v Harmless Bayonet Charges. Philadelphia Press. Bayonet charges are perpetually spoken of in tho present war Just as they were In our civil war. but when the medical history cf this war comes to be-known It will be found, as It was In our own, that there are not a eeore of people who' have actually hen wounded or killed by a bayonet. In spite of the perpetOal remark of war cor respondents, who always talk about the bayonet as if It were the one weapon that was used, when- the hospital records came to be tabulated jfou could put In a very small wnrd of a small hospital every man who had ever suffered from a bayonet wound. It will undoubtedly be the case now.. The Russian troops are practically all Asiatics, with' the exception 6t the Tenth and Seventeenth , army corps, and there Is no possible necessity for belief that either they, .or. the Japanese are dif ferent from other- troops, which In the last seventy years. 'Since arms of precision crime Into use. have never waited for bay onet charges. HARMOIt IV NEBRASKA. Why Shvnld Old Friends and Allies Wrangle Howl .. .... .. - chloazifjChronlchy.

Although the ticket contains some candidates of each stripe, In hope that both parties would sup port all of them, .each party seems to De conducting an Independent campaign, with all that it Implies. The populists have taken a great dislike to Judge Parker, and their denunciations became so fierce that a committee of demo cratic leaders served ft formal notice on the populist atata committee a few days ago that unless theso attacks ceased the demo crats would open on Mr. Berge, the popu list Candida to for governor on the fualon ticket. The committee is said to have re torted that the democrats could not attack Mr. Berge much worse than they had dona already. Suoh are Nebraska "fusion and harmony." .,, ; What strikes the outside observer aa sin gular Is that the Nebraska democrats and populists should ba so squeamish about sup porting each other, They have been frlende and allies so long and hold views so nearly alike that It is unaccountable that they should now ba at sixes and sevens.

Statistical Featnrra of a Bulletin Compiled by ne Ccnana Bnrean. Cleveland Leader. Too little notice has been taken of eatl- matca made by the census bureau of the number of divorced persons living In the United Statea, for the figures are surpris ingly reassuring to those who have sup posed that marriage was fast being under mined in America by the laws which per mit the total separation of unhappily meted wives and husbands. It Is evident that the great majority of the men and women divorced are by no means through with matrimony when once released from irksome bonds. They aeem to take more naturally and kindly to marriage than those who have never ventured Into wedlock. Well known aa Is this tendency to try again, who would have gueased that only 61,538 persons, divorced and so remaining, live In the United States? The census bu reau experts say there are 1S,3M men and 32,206 women In the state of ex-marrlage, so to speak. It seems that Cleveland Is cred ited with 1,058, of whom 388 are men and 670 are women. This city ranks aeventh In the country In population, but ninth, ac cording to the Washington authorities, in the number of persons divorced and not re married. Baltimore had more inhabitants In 19U0, and now has fewer of the once married who have been separated by the courts. On the other hand, San Francisco, smaller than Cleveland by 60,000 at least, has about 70 per oant mora of the divorced who are now single, and Indianapolis and Kansaa City, bath much below this city In population, exceed It In ex-wlves and bus bands.

Rlpplea on the Cnrrent of Life ia the Metropolis. New Tork has a magistrate of a minor court whose Ideaa of things spiritual. If generally acted upon, would endear him to the booxlng host and make aaloonkeepera dlisy. His name la Pool, and he holds court In the Tombs. Magistrate Pool holds that Intoxication la a disease, tnd that tha saloonkeeper and not the drinker la the real offender. In a recent "plain drunk ease he suggested from the bench that each police station house be provided with an automobile for the purpose of conveying Intoxicated persons to their homes, Instead of taklnz them to the station house and later to the court. "The automobile need not cost very much, for fare could be collected from the friends of the passenger taken home," said tha court. "Any man would prefer to pay au tomoblle hire rather than spend a night In a cell and then pay a fine In court the next morning. It la a good Idea, and I will write to Commissioner McAdoo In regard to It "If a man goes Into a saloon," he ex plained, "sober or Intoxicated, and has trouble with anybody In the place and cornea before me charged with disorderly conduct, I'll fine him, If It can be shown that he did not obtain any liquor In tha place. But when a man, drunk or sober, goes into a saloon and gets liquor In the place, and because of that liquor creates a disturbance, I hold the bartender, or the proprietor, equally guilty with the man for making the prisoner drunk. I blame him for the man's condition, and will discharge the man. Drunkenness Is a disease with most drunkards, and people who sell Intoxicants should know the condition of the persons to whom they dispense the stuff that steals away men's Brains." In Bethune street, where Greenwich village seems to tie Itself Into a knot of tangled thoroughfares, there Is an old- time herb shop," reports the Times. "Fifty years or so ago there were many of them in New York, but there are very few now. The sign over the door reads, 'A Herb for Every Pain.' On the shelves and counters are 300 kinds of herbs for the cure of human Ilia, and bottlea with fluid extracts made from nearly half of that number, or combi nations of them. Customers with old-fash ioned Ideas about health and slckncas go therw for bugle weed for consumption, su mach for sore throat, wlntergreen for rheu matism and extract of oats to cure drunk enness. At this season of the year there Is a constant call for catnip, sassafras, cham omile, horehound, yellow dock, cherry bark and mandrake. Bonset tea lu brewed as a cure for colds and served hot In little china cups. Lobelia Is sold as an emetic when persons living In the neighborhood have taken poison either by accident or otherwise, Some of the herbs are deadly poisons, and are sold under the same restrictions- as other poisons. Strangers to the herb doctor are served with caution." Bankera from any other cities who are to attend the thirtieth annual convention of the American Bankers' association In New York this week, will doubtless be amaied at the sumptuous arrangements which are being made for their entertainment. It Is all a part of a scheme of the canny New York financiers to extend and strengthen their business connections and their Influ ence among the minor banks throughout the country. One New York bank has set aside I10.0CO from Its contingent expense fund for the purpose mentioned above, and It Is estimated that the banks of Manhat tan will devote something like 1160,000 alto gether to .this species of hospitality. Lux urious suites of rooms, including sleeping accommodations, have been engaged by the officers oi one Institution for the free use of clienU who have been specially Invited to the convention. Delegates will be met at the stations, and carriages will be pro vided to take them to their hotels. Deli cate attentions will be bestowed upon their wives and daughtere If they accompany them. 1 . The penniless blind In New York re ceived their annual stipend last Tuesday, which, by virtue of an act of the legis lature, haa been aet aside for them each year since 1876. From all over Manhattan and the Bronx sightless persona to the number of 667 gathered St the temporary pay station at the charities wharf, at the foot of East Twenty-sixth street, to re ceive their share, which was 847 each. The total aum expended this year was $49,950, aa against 852.2S0 last year, when each appli cant received 150, the sum being appor tioned pro rata. This particular form of charity Is supervised by the Bureau of Dependent Poor, which Investigates each case that is brought to the attention of tha authorities. A few of the blind had pet dogs as escorts, which guided them seemingly as well as a human being could. There were several young girls and yount? men, and all wore a look of pleased an ticipation as they approached the- pay master. Some of the - older ones received the money with tears streaming down their cheeks and uttered fervent thanks as they turned away. Twenty extra policemen were present to keep an oversight of those who might otherwise have fallen a prey to thieves, and to watch alt of them until they were well started on their homeward way. Society women, with fat bank accounts, who won't pay their dressmakers' bills may be blacklisted, for Alexander Grean, an Importer and tailor, has set about to or ganise a union of the members of his craft to abolish the habit of keeping them wait ing from six months to a year, poaalbly two, for their money, with a chance of no pay at all. At the dressmakers' show In Madison Square Garden, Mr. Grean Is urg ing the necessity of such a union among the members. "Thirty thousand dollars. in bad debts Is not at all an unusual sum for dressmakers to carry on their books," he said today. "Under my plan, when a new dressmaker begins business ha wlH ask for a Hat of u"deslrable cuatomera, and then It will be his own fault If he falls short In his ac counts." New York Is pointing with pride to Its two magnificent hotels, one of which was opened two weeks ago and the other last week. Their location once - more empha sises tne fact -that the center of New York Is constantly moving northward. The St Regis, tha last one opened, has cost over 86,000,000 and claims to be not merely a hotel, "but a temporary home for those who are used to luxurious sur roundings." Naturally luxury costs money and the prices charged here will run from 16 to 20 per cent higher then those st The Waldorf. . Tha cheapeat rooms In tha house will be 87 per day, European plan.

Albion Newa: Chairman Burgess pf tha republican state committee Is being hauled over the coals by a good many state papers on account of hla assumption of authority not sanctioned by the state committee. His worst offense Is In persisting In placing one Charlie Rlgg at the head of the speak ers' bureau after being turned down by the committee. Said Rlgg Is a notorious railroad lobbyist, and the republicans of Nebraska will not sanction any such ap pointments.

The row and wrangle In and out of the courts of Buffalo concerning the site for the McKlnley monument Is not creditable to a city which exhibited profound sorrow four years ago. The memory of the mar tyred dead deserves better treatment where the tragedy occurred. Dr. Emit Hlrsch, the Jewish rabbi of Chicago, has Just returned from a long trip abroad and says: "Plebve, who was assassinated last June, Induced the csar to go Into the war with Japan, and with his death It may be that the voice of the peo pla who cry for peace may be heard by the esar."

Although It la conceded that the early bird catches the worm, it Is likewise pointed out that If tha worm were not up and about even earlier than the bird he would not be caught. There ts something to be said on both sides of the early-rising proposition. An English physician, for Instance, de clares that "to be forced to get up early grinds the soul, curdles the blood, swe'.la the spleen, destroys all good Intentions and disturbs all day the mental activities." He winds up by declaring that criminals are recruited from the early-rising class an assertion which la meaaurably austalned by the known fact that the burglar man and his contemporary ,the footpad, usual'y choose the very early morning hours for tha practice of their respective professions. Setting aside tha ethical phase of tha question, however, It Is certain that early rising Is not a source of Joy to most people. The average man hates to get up with the lark, and If there is anything In Inherited Instincts the fact that he hates to get up Indicates that It Is not good for him to get up. Ilia disinclination to arise Is nature's way of telling him that he ought to stay in bed. The father of . Frederick the Great per mitted his children only five ot six hours' sleep, declaring that more than that made people lasy, but It Is doubtful whether anyone ever had too much sleep. If na ture be not at fault a man should sleep until he awakes not until he is awakened. Nature, that Is, did not Intend our slum bers to be regulated by an alarm clock. Perhapa, however, the way to get around the "early-to-rlse" difficulty Is to practice the "early-tc-bed" maxim. He who seeks his couch betimes In the evening will experience no difficulty tn getting up while the light is still faint in the east. He wi'.l have had hla sleep out and that, after all, Is the desideratum. JESTS AND JINGLES, Knlcker And what did you do after yout boat turned turtle?
