Well, we'll see what tho ides of next November bring forth. Tub senior class' of tho University of Nebraska, by unanimous vote, has ratified tho selection of Booker T.

It lias boon th ctntum since the days of the great Ben JHtnin lrranklin for tho editor, when launching a now journ allitle anlorpriso, to announce In tho initial number a code of principle by which ho intondod to bo governed, or map out a policy that ho had determined his papor should pursue. And the editor of tho Almakck Hkkami will rwpect tho prncllco. Wo do not feel that an apology is nocoseary for tho HrtKAtn's coming. A rosidenco of sixteen years in Box Butte county entitles us to citizenship and accords us the privilege of engaging in tlio newspaper business at the coun ty's capital if, in our judgment, wc deem it wise to do so. If this were not true the Hkrald would not have become an Alliance enterprise. So much by way of an introductory; now, then, to the point. This will be a democratic newspaper, adhering strictly to the principles of the democratic party. But it will not bo intolerant that is, it will accoid to every man the in alienable right of choosing his own political company. It will not bo amenable to any man or set of men. It yvill voice tho views of its proprietor, regardless of tho wishes or desires of any clique or clan. It will stand up for Alliance at all times and under all circumstances, and bend ks every energy to enhance tho material intcicst of this fairlittlc city. There is little else necessary to be said in this connec tion. Wo liavo become a permanent resident of the city; we have invested our money here; wo intend to transact a legitimate, honorable bubiness open and above board and to sink or swim, according to our merits.

The Post asserts that the revoking of saloon license in the capi tal city would deprive tho school fund of 40,000 annually, if this is the case, the saloon men have little to foar that their businoss will bo intoi fored with. According to the Biokon Bow Chief, the retiring treas urer of Custer county has broken tho record. I Io turned back into tho treasury noarly $2000 in excess fees almost enough to pay the salary of his successor for the first year of his term. It is a prcttv showing and tho Chief would like to know if there is another treasurer in the state who has donoas well. At last the" liberation of Miss Stono is an accomplished fact.

A Vienna newspaper says l'rinco Henry is coming to this country to closo a trade between Guuruinv and the United States for the Philippines. This is doubtless all imagination, but if it were true wo are of the opinion that the majority of our people would exclaim, "Good riddance to bad lubbish," Bayard Transcript. Have a care. Tho Transcript claims allegiance to that part which insists that the Philippines islands arc princely possessions, Despite the herculean efforts of political wiie-pullers and tricksters to prcvout coalition, it is safe to assert that the democratic and populist parties of Nebraska arc des tined to remain as closely allied, in tho future as in the past. There is absolutely no reason sound or logical why a fusion of their political interests should not continue. It's a common enemy wo have to -contend against. Let's meet him with a united front, and let's down him next November, and teach him that the common people aro supreme. VERYTHING at one-half the regular price.

Remember you cannot get out without buying if you will come in and let us show you our goods and prices. E js; Yours Respectfully, INVTE HART. Tub Madison Mail is the name of ex-Senator William V. Allen's w eokly newspaper recently launched upon the sea of journalism. As yot, the Mail has not found its way to the Hkrald sanctum; but we'll welcome it in advance of its coming. Few men in Nebraska are more capable writers and thinkers than tho ex-senator. But if it be true that he has determined to cast the influence of his paper against fusion in Nebraska of the democratic and populist parties, ho has made the mistake of his life. What could have in spired such ingratitude? ACCEPT OUR WANKS, GEXTEEMEW All the world loves an honest man a3 well as a brave one,r4ind all the world despises a dishonest' or a cowardly man. Nor has it any more respect for a man who will misicprescnt facts. And less for one who whines at defeat. As proof of this tho reader's attention is directed to the fol lowing paragraph from the Anslcy Chronicle, a staunch re publican paper: Our high estimation of II. J. Ellis, of the Alliance Times, as a business man of more than usual ability, was somewhat loweied after leading an editorial in tho Friday issue of the jcini-weekly Times, scolding the board of su pcrvisors of Box Butte county for ignoring his bid on county printing and awarding it to the Herald at legal rates, when his bid would have saved the county S500. We be liovo tho members of the boatd showed good business sense' in refusing the cut-throat bid and keeping tho price up whore it ought to be. Fie, shame on Brother Ellis. And this from the Bayard Transcript, another lepubli- can newspaper: There is nothing more calculated to give us that tired feeling than to read the wail's of an editor who has lost the county printing. He jumps lotlgh-shod on his successful competitor, charging him with seventeen kinds of skuldug gery and bare-faced robbery, when he knows deep down in his hltlo soul that he only wanted the chance to bo guilty of all the discieditable acts and mote that he charges against his rival. Such a course isn't decent and it isn't honest journalism. And it doesn't fool anyone either. The people know such an editor is a hypocrite, and sus pect that he is a liar, and they take his wails of woe with several grains of salt. Further comment would be entirely superfluous, except to add that the Hfralp desires to congratulate the editors of the Chronicle and Tiansctipt for having sufficient man linoss to express their honest convictions, though at the ex pense of one of thoir own kith and kin, politically. JUS GREATEST FEAR. Under this caption tho Columbus Telegram scores ex Senator Allen harshly. The Hi:rald dislikes very much tobelieve the ex-senator guilty, as charged in the Tele gram's indictment. The writer has held Senator Allen in high esteem for a number of years. Though not of demo cratic faith, yet so near it that democrats have honored and trusted him to a degree seldom accorded to one affiliat ing with other than the democratic party. But the source from whence conies the charge brought against him is un impeachable, and the Herald must .credit the truth of the accusation, however much it would prefer not to. The Telegram says: Senator Allen appears in greater fear of democrats than of lepublicans. The burden of all his song is a plea to pops to keep away from democrats. Once upon a time he did not sing such a song. Then he was glad to get as close to democrats as the law would allow. Ho did get close enough to win tho highest honors within tho gifts of democrats but now1 well, there are no honors in sight just now, and so Allen has begun a crusade against the memory of Thomas Jefferson, and against everything and everybody bearing the democratic brand. Tho Telegram does" not desire to cieatc discord within the fusion ranks. We sincerely hope that the democrats and pops can get together this fall and redeem Nebraska, but it had just as well be understood now as later that no man, be he Sena tot Allen or another, can heap insult on tho memory of lofferson and still be in political harmony with Nebraska democrats. The democrats of this state have treated Senator Allen right. He has no kick coming, unless it be the kick of an ingrate. .ii.iii.ii.i.iiii.iiiiiiiii;, ' .sti. fc - l - it- '' t 1) 7 fT f ! ? ? ! l si t f l Tt i( 1 f f TfTTf 7T TjT?,.

Having positively declined to be a candidate for the presidency, the Hkkald, in obedience to such declination, pulls down from its masthead the name of Winfield Scott Schley, and in consequence tho name of George Dewey, for the vice presidency, as w ell for they are inseparable. The main obicct the Herald sought to attain in its course in this particular has been accomplished, which was to nip in the bud tho David B. Hill boom in Nebraska. This paper is still for Schley and Dew ey, and is as confident now as ever that it would be a moral impossibility to defeat them. Tun Hemingford Horald has been removed to Alliance, Alliance supports two papers tolerably well, and time alono can tell whether Mr. O'Keefe's move was a wise one. Alli ance is not big enough to give living support to three news papers. Crawford Tribune. Well, npw, that sounds strango, coming from a paper pubHtf ladfinL a town not more than ono-fourtli as largo as xliiaiOU aim Wlliuu, huiwjiudiuuuijie, summits iiuuu nuns- papers. Of course, though, the Herald, not being a re publican nowspapor, could not expect to find favor in the eves of the Tribune. To say the loast of it, it is an unkind cut, colonol, and if you are not, you ought to be, ashamod of such an exhibtion of political malice. I-udlcs furnishing Goods. The O'Neill Frontier expresses the Herald's views ex actly in the following editorial paragiaph: To be in sympathy with the pardon of Joe Bartley doesn't imply sympathy with the practice of embezzling. The opponents of Governor Savage dare not say that he and those who agree with him are in favor of looting the Dublic treasury or that they commend the misguided con duct of Bartley in the least. Pardon does not approve of sin. "He hath removed our sins from us as far as the oast is from the west." Does that approve the past misdeeds? To remove implies taking away, obliterating the guilt. It is just as safe to trust the man who is ready to extend par don as the other class. And often timos a wjiolo lot safor. The writer's experi ence has loamed.him that there is something wrong with the heart of a man who cairfeol no sympathy for his fel lows w hen misfortune overtakes thorn. Nino times out of ton he is mean, dishonest and utterly unworthy of confidence. Richard Metcalf, editor of tho Woild-Horald, has in formed his frionds that he has no doeiro, to become a con gioesimui, and would not aecopt the nomination if tondored him.
