Mr. Buch anan will then be simply an abstrac tor and will haye no use for the far mers he now so graciously grfcets. The nomination of H. L. Gould, of Ogalalla, as one of the regents of the state university is a recogni tion of the republicans of this sec tion of the state that we are glad to see. Mr. Gould is an excellent man for the position and will receive large complimentary vote in his own and adjoining counties. The school populists will conduct house campaign, hopinp that by getting a crowd together they can arouse a little enthusiasm. In this they will hardly succeed. for even that greatest of all popu list speakers, Herr Most Mang. could not arouse a spark of enthusi asm in the recent county conven tion. Judge Ray will not make a can vass of the county for the reason thai he is too conscienscious to close his office in order to gain a few votes He was elected by the people to ad minister the duties incumbent upon the countv iudse and these he will not neglect. But a majority of th voters in the countv are satisfied that Judge Ray is the proper person for county judge and will vote ac cordingly. Judge Hinman is done with thp populist party, and after election Judge Neville will be nothing less than a democratic statesman with out a job. So long as the pop were strong in numbers Judge Ne ville was willing to be one of them at a salary of 2,500 a year, but de prive the Judge of this yearly sti pend and see how long he will es ponse the populist cause. The re mainder of the pop officials are just the same they are willing to join any party that will guarantee them a job. In- speaking of H. M. Grimes for district judge, the Sidney Telegraph says: Mr. Grimes has had a yery ex tensive practice in all the eastern part of this district and in the counties-lying to the east and north of it and has a good record in the supreme court of our state. He is a lawyer not only in name but in fact, and has few equals and no superiors in the district. His integrity as a man and a lawyer has never been ques tioned and if elected, as he certainly will be, he will be a judge for the whole people, knowing neither friend nor foe, but administering the law as he finds it and belieyes it to be. Republicans certainly will and all others should give him their hearty support. A recent dispatch from Boston says: Reports that a Union Pacific reorganization plan is soon to be announced are stated by Boston in terests to be somewhat premature. There have been from time to time meetings of representatives of large interests in the property with a view to forming a committee to reorgan ize the mainline of the Union Pacific road, but the matter has never pro gressed as far as the formation of a reorganization committee. It is anticipated, however, that this will soon be accomplished, the company to be composed of representatives of the various sub-committees and pro minent interests in the road, and an " effort will be made to get thp matter before the next session of congress. Does the county pay for the pub- lication of that notice in which Mr. xj . .i l "UUUa.UU a"uuu" auiuuma he claims to have saved to the tax- payers of the county in the matter of interest money? Those who have been benefitted by reason of populist supremacy in Lincoln county will please hold up their hands. Just a half dozen hands are raised, and they are found to belong to Neville, Miller, Keliher Buchanan, Beeler, and Ellingham. It is a Nevada agricultural society that is now preparing to make up a purse of one hundred thousand dol lars to secure the presence of Mr. Corbett and Mr. Fitzsimmons at their creat moral, exposition. Ne- a vada really seems to be itching ti eet wiped off Uncle Sam's map. It seems willing to pose as the "dead tough" member of the national fam ily. Ex. Ik ordar to accentuate the fact, which of course i3 well known, that this is a shoddv administration, it is only necessary to point out that under the McKinley law in 1893-94 the shoddy imports were but 210,404 pounds while under Clevelandism and free trade the imports jumped up to 17,665,563 pounds. A shoddy administration? Well rather! Phil adelphia Press. The unanimous endorsement of Chief Justice Norval for a second term, ov the republican state con vention at Lincoln last week, com posed as it was of such a large num ber of the leading republicans of the state, must be verv eratifviner to the Judge. He is clo'sing his term with honor to himself,the stale and the people who elected him. He has a splendid record and will be chosen as his own successor. The law passed by the Texas legis- lature to prohibit prize fighting re- sembles the Nebraska law, in that it makes the offense a felony. The first and only conviction under Nebras kalaw was a couple of fighters who had a mill in Saunders county. At that time Judge Marshall was dis trict attorney and he prosecuted the offenders in a vigorous manner and sent them to the penttenliiry. It was a lone time after lhat before there was another prize fight in Ne braska. Fremont Tribune. The mileage charged by Sheriff Miller when servintr papers in his capacity do not indicate that he is in the sheriff's office for his health,or 'hat he favors keeping down the ex penses of the county. Mr. Miller is not supposed to follow in the foot- steps of his republican and demo cratic predecessors, for you know he is a member of and was elected by, a reform party. But where in the d does the reform come iu. Can not Miller and Burritt publish cards like Buchanan showing where in they have saved the county several wagon loads of sixteen to one silver dollars? Dubikg the past four years the county publishing under the Era cootract has cost the county in round numbers $6,000. Had the pop commissioners awarded the con- tract to The Tbibuite at its bid, the cost would have been $1,500 and the county would have been 84,500 ahead on the deal. Mr. Buchanan claims to have saved the county $3,500, and assuming that his claims are true and honest, it shows the connty is still $1,000 loser by reason of pop ulist government in this one item. The above statement is not political buncombe bat a fact and is worthy the consideration of voters who favor good, honest govern ment. The expression of the thousand delegates from all over Nebraska in attendance at the republican state convention was ,such as to excite sympathy for poor old misguided Maxwell. It was merely an expres sion of pity for him and his weak ness, accredited to the infirmity of old ace, and the expression was un- jl 4-i.,i,r i iU 13 rt MeiaoiB "" indication that Maxwell will receive no republican votes and that his treachery aud showing of ingrati tude will on account of his extreme sge be looked upon with more pity than contempt. Grand Island Ke publican. If you value thefriendship of Newel Burritt, dont ask him how his can vass is coming along. It's like feel ing a flaunting a red Sag in the face of an enrasred bull. The re- ports Newell is receiving from the country precincts are enough to make any man damn politics But Newell should expect opposition he had it in the convention. The fact that Buchanan and Miller were J renominated by acclamation while he had opposition, is evidence that qte an element m ms party uo hod endorse his conduct or the countv Bufc there jg Qne s6aCQ , for Burritt, he can .return to his! farm when fired out of office, and will not be a statesman without a ! jjob. Those populists in position to know already concede the defeat of all their candidates but Buchanan and Miller. Z.EFT HER HUSBAND BEHIND. Brldo of a Day Slopes With a Former !ver. Springfield, Mo., Oct. 10. Eva Dun can noarried John Mills yesterday, but at this hour is speeding along to Cali fornia -with William Angle of Aurora, to whom she had been engaged for six years. When the "tfeport was spread through town that Eva and John Mills had bocome husband and -wife, Angle's hopes were shattered. He hastened to find Eva's brother. He met him on the way to the Duncan home. They pro ceeded on their way, when they were overtaken by the bride and groom in a carnage. The bride's brother walked up to the vehicle and commanded his sister to climb out. She obeyed and ac companied Angle and her brother home. Angle drove away soon after the party entered the Duncan home. Since then nothing has been seen of Angle or the bride. It is understood that they both left on the 'Frisco train for the Pacific coast.

BLAMES THE AEMENIANS, Declares That the Pagans Were Not tht A pgresson la the Recent RIothijj De mands the Withdrawal of the Brit ish Fleet From the Dardanelles. Constantinople, Oct. 10. Lato today it became known that tho Turkish gov ernment had finallv presented to tho on- voys of tho six powers a reply to their collective note on the subject of tho re cent disturbances here. This reply, how ever, is not satisfactory to the ambassa dors. The porte, in its answer, onumor ates tho measures taken to preserve or der, and declared that the Mussulmans were not the acErressors in tho recent riotiner. but that, on tho contrary the Armenians killed?-inoffensive Mnssul mans. The Turkish government admit that so soon as the Armenian refugees leave the charches in which they have sought refuge the normal aspect of the city will be restored. It denies ordering that no food bo supplied the refugees in the churches, and urges the ambassadors to assist in tho work of restoring order, claiming that Armenian conspirators are in league to cause fresh disturbances. The note concludes with the assertion that the government is about to open an inquiry into the recent rioting with the view of discovering the guilty parties. In view of tho unsatisfactory nature of the porte's reply, the ambassadors met today to consider what shall be done further. Tho sultan continues to be greatly dis turbed by the presence of the British fleet off the island of Lemnos, and has sent again to the ambassador of Great Britain to ask for their withdrawal. MRS.
