WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1894.
The incoming- legislature will be
culled upon to provide for taking
a census of the state next year.
The constitution requires that a
state census shall be taken- every
ten years, commencing- in 18S5.
It is announced that Holcomb will
not resign his Judgeship until after
he is inaugurated, and will then
appoint Bill Green, of Kearney, as
his successor. This is the only
wav in which Green will ever secure
office
Reports from nine precincts in
the count, including the Second
ward of the citv. show that there
are thirteen populists who have
pulled their coats and swore by Ali
Baba that they will have an ap
pointment as deputy oil inspector
or bust their bladders. The indi
cations are there will be thirteen
busted bladders in Lincoln county.
The people of Nebraska demand
an equitable reduction in freight
rates, anb the coming legislature
must enact such a measure. With
a working- majority, the republican
party is in position to do this, and
and if it does not it will suffer at
the next election. A law that
makes a fair reduction will benefit
shippers and not seriously cripple
the railroads.
A populist who has been con
verted to republican faith since
election, tells The Tribune that
Messrs. Buchanan. Burritt and
Miller are not so anxious to secure
a renomination next fall as they
were some thirty days ago. The
fact is these gentlemen have not
fully emerged from the snowdrift
in which the Lincoln county popu
lists were plunged on the last elec
tion day.
It is stated that the democratic
party of Lincoln county will be re
organized. This statement follow
ing so closely on the late avalanche
is almost too daring to be seriously
considered. If the democracy of
the county ever regains a reason
able foothold it will be through the
annihilation of the populists; and
let-it le said that some of the late
f usrsAlsts (-- of thisHtynow'' want
to sweep the pops off the face of the
earth.
The evidence possessed by the
state central comittee ma) be suffi
cient to warrant a contest of Hol
comb's election, but before such is
inaugurated it might be well to con
sider whether or not such a contest,
in case of failure, will not prove a
boomerang- to the party in the
state. The official count gives Hol
comb a plurality of over three thou
sand to overcome which many illegal
votes would have to be unearthed.
To Governor-elect Holcomb: For
the position of state oil inspector
The Tribune would recommend
the appointment of Lucien Sebbins
of this city. Mr. Stebbins is the
father of populism in western Ne
braska, has fought the battles of
his part) with fervor, and is
thoroughly competent to -fill the
position. He may not receive warm
endorsements from Neville, Gantt.
Beeler, Ellingham. et. al.. but this
journal assures you that he is the
noblest populist of them all, and he
has papers to prove it.
The move to knock out Judge
Thurston for United States senator
is not well received in this section
of the state, where he is regarded as
the eminently proper person to suc
ceed Manderson. There is little
doubt but Capt. Akers and Dr.
Harris, the senator and representative-elect
from our districts will
support Thurston through thick
and thin, for they understand that
he is the man desired by their con
stituents. The Tribune wants to
see Judge Thurston sent to Wash
ington for the reason that he has
well earned the honor and that in
doing so the party recognizes
the services he has always so
lv extended. There need be
glad-
no
fear that Judge Thurston will be a
willing
tool of corporations and
trusts if elected senator. As a
lawyer he has never been untrue to
clients, and as a senator he would
be true to the common people of
this and other great common
wealths. If Thurston is defeated
it will not be through the willing
ness of the republicans of the state,
but rather by -ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain."
On our first page will be found
an interesting communication from
W. L. Park, which can be read
with profit by business man and
farmer alike. North Platte is now
onions and other vegetables raised
hundreds of miles away which
should be produced right here at
home. Surrounded by thousands
of acres under irrigation we should
be heavy exporters instead of light
importers of vegetables of all
kinds. Heretofore our farmers
have stated that it does not pay to
bother with vegetables, but if
farmers living- hundreds of miles
away can afford to raise and ship
these vegetables to us, why cannot
our farmers raise at least suffi
cient to supply the home market.
Another matter to which Mr. Park
calls attention is that of fruit-growing,
and which, to us. seems an all
important one. That fruit can be
successfully grown in this section
is evidenced by the success which
has attended the efforts of Herman
Otten and J. H. Hershey. Both
these gentlemen have fine orchards
just coming into bearing, the pro
ducts of which in another year or j
two will bring them handsome rev
enues. Every fall we import thou
sands of bushels of apples why
not raise our own. Gardeners in
town have demonstrated that we
can raise superior strawberries,
raspberries and blackberries, and
if they can be successfully grown
in town, why not in the country?
Here is another opportunity for the
farmer possessing a small acreage
under irrigation. In view of the
ruling prices for wheat it must be
apparent to the farmer of western
Nebraska that the day for raising
that cereal in any quantity has
passed, and that more attention
must be paid to laising vegetables
and fruit. As this is an important
question, a fair discussion is in
vited through these columns by the
ditch farmers and others with a
view of ascertaining what difficul
ties, if any. stand in the way of
more diversified farmiiiir.
The city of Broken Bow, where
Holcomb lives, out of a total vote
of 419. gave Majors 212 and Silas
207, a majority of five for the farmer.
At Peru, the home of Majors, the
vote stood 231 for him to 90 for
Holcomb, or a majority of 141.

The millers, says a metropolitan
paper, have decided to close down
six hundred flouring mills for a
time in order to reduce the stocks
and bring up prices to a more sat
isfactory basis. The consumer
has been paying more than he. has
considered a fair nrite. in view of
the extraordinary depression in
wheat, for a year "or more. If the
millers succeed in making the
prices still more independent of the
cost of wheat the complainings of
the public will become both loud
and deep.
AVith a majority for the republi
can ticket that foots way up in the
hundreds of thousands the country
over, the populist papers insist
that --the people" were defeated.
Who are the people? Are they the
handful of Western Wailites, " rein

are the people the people? This
question can never be settled until
it is settled right, and the sooner

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE.
That second bond issue has come.

It is a wise child, says the proverb,
that knows its father, and tinder
j Grover Cleveland it takes an alert
I Secretary to know his own policy.
The president treats his constitu
tional advisers as little better than
mere amanuenses. In this case the
issue of bonds seems to have been
settled upon before the Secretary
of the Treasury was consulted.
The issue of another S50.000.000
of government bonds was probably
a necessity of the situation. The
real responsiblity for this large in
crease of the national debt rests
upon the general policy of the demo
cratic party, which has created this
necessity. As in the last weeks of
Buchanan's administration it was
necessary for the government to
borrow money to meet current needs
in time of peace, so is it now neces
sary to borrow money for the same
purpose, broadly speaking-. Mr.
Buchanan was not blamed bv any
patriot for that borrowing-, but only
for the line of policy which led up
to it and made the same inevitable.
In the present case the national
treasury has been brought to the
verge of bankruptcy by tariff tink
ering and the fear of" it. That is
the whole story in brief.
When the first S50.0000.0UO loan
was made, some moths ago. the
democrats all insisted that everything-
would be right and smooth
as soon as the new tariff fairly
went into effect. This second issue
is a confession of error in that part
of the calculation.

his great Chicago speech, the cur

crats 20.992 and the prohibitionists
4.015. The republican plurality is
30,875 and the plurality over" the
combined vote of the populists and
democrats is 3.8M3. The total vote
exceeded the estimates of all the
political parties. There is no hint
that voters were brought into the
state. The large totals are ac
counted for on the theory that the
people were keenly alive to the
dangers that confronted the state
and nation and were fairly aching
to go to the polls and vote.

The complexion of Nebraska's
next legislature will be overwhelm
ingly republican, there being ap
proximately one hundred of that
faith as against thirty-three pops,
demo-pops and democrats, in both
houses. In the house the farmers
will have a clear majority of two
out of the hundred, their number
being- fifty-two. There wil be a
dozen lawyers, six real estate
agens. fivebankers. nine merchants,
thre editors, three lumber dealers,
two loan brokers, two doctors, one
contractor, one miller, one livery-
man, one printer and only one
politician. The thirty-three' mem
bers of the senate will be less than
half grand old farmers, there being
fifteen of that noble calling, eight
lawyers, three bankers, two con
tractors, two editors, two real
estate agents and one physician.
It is unnecessary to add that the
average quality of the legislature
will be higher than for at -least
four years, because for the first in
that time it is a republican legis
lature. Fremont Tribune.

on a small scale, the experience of
Mr. W. W. Warner, of Marshall
county. Indiana, may be of interest
to farmers in the "Missouri Val
ley States who think their lauds do
not require irrigation. It may be
said that Marshall county is in" the
northern central part of "the state,
and enjoys as great a rainfall per
haps as any part oi Indiana. Still
Mr. Warner found it very profitable
to irrigate two acres of his land
from a reservoir fed bv springs.
The fertilizers used were such as
were produced on the farm, and the
soil was not of extra quality. The
work was performed by the usual
farm help, ami Mr. Warner gives to
the Indiana farmer the following
statement of the product of two
acres referred to: He produced 415
