Tnncornation of England's monarch has been postponed
until some day next mouth. Edward is reported to be

raised.
Stkikkh, lockouts, long hours, starvation wages, high

his political gang have bequeathed us. And yet thousands

n murmur the misery he has entailed upon them.

A Home Endorsement.
Tun safest criterion to be governed Uv in estimating
the character and worth of a man is his standing at home.
If the people "among whom he has lived for years unhesi
tatingly vouch for his intogrity and unswerving devotion to
principle, it may bo taken for granted that his character is
above reproach. Especially is this true when the political
opponents of a man arc willing to subscribe to his merit
and worth as a citizen. Of W. H. Thompson, fusion nom
inee for governor, the Grand Island Independent, one of
the leading republican newspapers of the state, says: "The
Nebraska democratic and populist state conventions did an
honor to Grand Island in placing in nomination for gov
ernor Hon. W. II. Thompson of this city. It has been
many years since this city has had a candidate for a load
ing slate office, Hut the democrats and populists
of Nebraska did something more in placing in
nomination for governor this fellow citizen of otirs. They
did credit and honor to themselves. William II. Thomp
son came to Grand Island in 1881. In the twenty-one
years that have passed since that time he has not only
made a success of his life professionally and financially,
but he has endeared himself in the hearts of his townsmen,
and, it may be safely said, holds as high a position in the
esteem of the general public, in the esteem of his fellow
citizens and neighbors as any other one man. While
some of his neighbors differ with Mr. Thompson along po
litical lines, yet ho is one of the first men to give fullest
credit for honesty in conviction to those who differ from him,
and none of his fellow citizens, it is the conviction of The
Independent, would knowingly permit any statement calling
into question in the least degree, his fine ability, his
strength of character and integrity, to go unchallenged.
A cleaner, abler, inoie conscientious man could not have
been found. It is for this reason that Nebraska fusionists
did honor tb themselves in uniting upon Mr. Thompson as
the standard bearer of the party. And The Independent
feels that none of his republican fellow citizens, neighbors
and friends arc inclined to, or ought to, say less."
It will be conceded by all fair-minded men that Mr.
Thompson is a candidate of high character. He is clean
and honorable. Fremont Tribune, republican.
An Associated Press dispatch says that President
Roosevelt looks for Nebraska to send a solid republican
delegation to congress this year. Well, we'll fool his acci
dency, the strenuous.
Tins republican lie that W. II. Thompson is now or ever
has been a railroad attorney has been effectually side-tracked.
Hut the democratic truth that Mickey is a railroad
tool, hasn't been and never will be successfully disputed.
Writing from Cleman, Neb., under date of June 30,
10,02, a patron of the IIkkam), closes his letter as follows:
"I think you arc in a position to give Mr. Hroomca 'Roland
for his Oliver.' If that gentleman runs the only dem
ocratic ( not independent ) newspaper in Alliance, he surely
owes it to the followers of that faith to hoist at his masthead
the name of the democratic nominee for governor. Mr.
Thompson was chosen as leader of the democratic hosts of
Nebraska, therefore it is nothing more than fealty for
professed democrats to rally to his standard. What if Mr.
Thompson was endorsed by the populists? That is only a
minor issue. No good general would turn away willing
allies. Therefore, if Mr. Hroome wishes the people to be
lieve him, let him give testimony to the faith that is in him
and rally to the only democratic candidate in Nebraska."

Tell the Truth.
The Lincoln Journal, the Lincoln Evening News, and
the Norfolk News, three republican papers, have on several
occasions printed the statement that W. II. Thompson, the
fusion candidate for governor, has been the local attorney
for the 13. & M. railroad company at Grand Island.
It is just as well to place the proper brand on this state
ment eaily in the campaign.
Mr. Thompson is not now, nor has ho ever been, the
attorney for the Burlington & Missouri orany other railroad
company.
Mr, Thompson has never been called into consultation
on any railroad casein the railroad company's behalf. He
has appeared in court many times as the attorney against
railroad companies, but never, either in public or in private,
has he appeared as the counsel or the attorney for a rail
road. These are facts for which the three republican papers
named may readily find corroboration if it be required.
The World-Herald suggests that those papers owe it to
themselves to correct a wrong impression concerning Mr.
Thompson which they have sought to give their readers.
World-Herald.
Wr. can till these columns with matter of more interest
to the reading public than devoting space to an individual
whose supreme self-conceit is a-inattor of univorsal ridi
cule throughout the community .r-Allianco Times.
Whoop la! Will somebody please saw our log off?
Wonder who the booby is referring to now? Solf-concoit
isn't an enviable affliction, true enough; but then how in
comparable is it to the thousand and 'one disreputable traits
of character that distinguish the writer of tho above para
graph ami which have made him an object of "universal
contempt" -not ridicule "throughout the community,"
Gun. Nulso.n A. Milks seems determined to o.prosfi
his opinion on affairs of state rogardloss of the throats that
have come from tho White House to dopo-so him unless he
curbs his tongue. Only a fow days ago, at Philadelphia,
Gen. Miles, in a public speech, dared to criticise the govern
ment's Philippine policy and express his love and vonorst
tiun for the Declartion of Independence. Such lockloss
ness is bound to bring him a whole lot of trouble. The
rough rider has the advantage in the struggle that is brow
ing, and while Mtlo is a born fighter the enemy's equip
ment is a hundred timee greater than his. But hurrah for
Miles) It is such daring as his that must iMjqietuate
the principle mxMi which this groat republic is founded and
which the impeirialistio gang now in the saddle would trans
form into a monarchy writ within their ppwr..
SnNATon Tiiu.hr has stated that he has evidence suffi
cient to convince any jury that a deal was made between the
manager of the republican party and the sugar trust where
by the latter was to furnish campaign funds in icturn for
the passage of the Cuban reciprocity bill. If Teller says so
it must be so.
Fkom every section of Nebraska fiom the north, the
south, the east and tho west come reports of damage
wrought by the flood gates of heaven being left ajar. Rivers
and streams have overflowed their banks and much damage
to property and los"s of human and animal life has resulted.
This is a new expeiienco in Nebraska, and people arc
wondering if it marks a new era, in this part of the state at
loast. The few who attempted to till the soil in this, Box
Butte county, have been abundantly rewarded.
In offering congratulations to Mr. Dorrington, we do

It's different over here. We do want to be understood
as expressing gratification over the defeat of the "other
gentleman." Not that we think loss of Van than we do of
the average g. o. p. office-seeker; but it fills our very being
with joy to chronicle the humiliation of would-be dictators
anywhoro and everywhere. We would obliterate the whole
band of "better than thou" damphools from the face of the
oarth wore it possible.
