Is is generally conceeded that
the defeat of M. A. Daugherty as a

was due principally to the resolu
tions passed by the republicans of
of Mr. Dauber ty's county in conven

of the state are not in favor of tree

denced by the state platform. No
county convention is greater than
its party.
The ambitious attempt of the

themselves in the guise of dictators
to the republican party in the mat
ter of a candidate for president will
only make them absurd. The
American people are weary of that
sort of secret society horse play.
The charge that McKinley, a mem
ber of the Methodist Episcopal
church and an American from away
back in blood and patriotism, favors
the pope in politics and appoints
Catholics rather than protestants

into the campaign on it, it is the

With the tact patent that with
out the North Platte ring the popu

not'be in existence, it is poor grace
for the Era to refer to any supposed
republican ring in North Platte.
Messers Neville, Gantt, Buchanan
and a few others in North Platte
have absolute control of the popu
lists in Lincoln county and when
the members of this reform (?) ring
snap their fingers the rank and file
of the pop party bow their knee in
gentle submission. The populists
do not seem to possess the courage
to resent the political lashes applied
to them or to break the bonds which
hold them as slaves to their political
masters. Rob the members of the
North Platte ring of their chance
to retain or secure office and how
long would they remain populists?
Not twenty-four hours. They work
to maintain the populist party
solely that they may gather the
political crumbs which accrue by
reason of its existance. As for pop
ulist principles they care not a snap.

The treasury deficit for the first
eleven days of this month is $6, 084,
803. This, as our Washington cor
respondent observes, is at the rate
of 5608,480 for each working day of
the year; counting eight hours to
each day, and eight hours make a
business day at Washington, it is
at the rate of $76,000 an hour, and
over $1,200 a minute.
This comes of Democratic tariff
tinkering, of Democratic currency
tinkering, of democatic appropria
tion making, and of all the combined
manifestations of democratic incom
petencr to administer concerning
the finance and trade of the country.
The first twenty months of oper
ation of the McKinley tariff resulted
in a surplus of $20,287,462 for the
national treasury. The first twenty
months of the operation of the Wil
son tariff has resulted in adificit of
$82,248,794
The democrats denounced the
surplus as "infamous, " though it is
a matter of common, sense that a
surplus of S20,000,000 is no more
than a safeguard against emerge
ncies. But if a surplus of $20,000,
000 be "infamous," what adjective
is fit to qualify a deficit of $82,000,
000?
When there was a surplus in the
national treasury there was a sur
plus in nearly every house. The
building associations and the sav
ings banks were receiving vast de
posits of accumulations from the
wage fund, merchants were enlarge
ing their stores, manufacturers
were enlarging their mills, wages
were going up, and all manufactured
things that wages buy were coming
i rs i r t t
aown. oiriKes ior nigner wages
were too common, but strikes
against lower wages were unknown
The democrats have changed all
this.

These early Britons were suitablo
only to act as ancestors. Aside from
that they had no good points. They
dwelt in mud huts thatched with straw.
They had no currency and no ventila

boats were made of wickerwork plas
tered with clay. Their swords were
made of tin alloyed with copper, and
after a brief skirmish the entire army
had to fall back and straighten its
blades.
They also had short spears made with
a rawhide string attached, so that tho
deadly weapon could bo jerked back
again. To spear an enemy with one of
these harpoons and then, after playing

BRUIN AND THE BOAT
THE DEER STORY MAN SIGHED, BUT
SAID NOT A WORD.
A Story of a Bear and a Hunter In s Ca
noe With No Weapon Except His Wits.
It Was a Kaval Battle Koyal, aad Brains
Won a MagrnlfleeBt Victory.
They had been telling all sorts of
hunting stories, some almost too mirac
ulous to be believed, except by hunters
who had had experiences and knew
what strage things sometimes occur far
away amid the forest wilds when there
are no witnesses. The last man had told
of deer hunting in the water, and a
squat, heavy set man sitting in the cor
ner seemed particularly interested- in
the tale.
1 "That reminds me," he said, when
he had a chance to come in, "of an ex
perience I once had up in the lake re
gion of Canada. A party of us were in
camp there, along in the fall, and were
I having great sport with the rod and
gun. We -had secured specimens of all
the game and fish for which the section
was noted except a bear, and of that
tracks had been reported not far from
camp, and wo were to try for bruin as
soon as we had made proper prepara
tions. The'day before we were to start
out on the bear hunt I had gone off up
the shore of the lake in a light canoo
we had to fish for a couple of hours
and get a fry for supper. I had nothing
with me in tho canoe except my fishing
outfit and no sort of a weapon unless
the canoe paddle might be called one.
But a man didn't need a weapon to
catch fish with, so I gave no thonght to
it. I had found a nice cave up the cove
about a mile from camp, and there I
stopped tho canoe about 50 feet from
shore in deep water and threw out my
line. Luck was good, and I had pulled
in five or six fine fellows and was hav
ing more fun than anybody, except the
fisherman, when I was startled by a
splash from the thicket lining the shore,
and the next minute a whopping big
bear was making for me lickety split.
To say that I was scared doesn't half
express it, I was paralyzed. I didn't
even have sense enough left to grab my
paddle and try to ge5 away. I simply
baught it up and held it in my hand as
I would a club and waited. But the
bear didn't wait. He was very evident
ly hungry, or he never would have at
tacked mo out there in the boat, and he
was coming straight for me. J waited
for him to get close enough to bat him
one, and then I gave it to him with the
canoe paddle square between the eyes.
It dazed him a little, but it was far more
disastrous to the paddle, and when I
straightened up from delivering the
blow I had only about two feet of the
paddle left in my hand. The rest of it,
splintered, was floating in the wake of
the bear. He gave himself a shake after
I hit him, and the next minute he had
caught the side of the canoe with cue of
his big paws and was manifesting a
violent desire to get aboard with me.
As he weighed about 400 pounds and
was as powerful as a horse it did not
require a very strong haul to settle that
part of the proceeding early, and instead
of his coming aboard with me the canoo
was upset, and I went into the water
with him.
"By this time a portion of my wits
had returned, and I had sense enough,
as the boat went toward the bear, to get
off into the water with the boat between
the bear and me. I was a good swim
mer and had a faint idea if I got head
ed toward the shore I could outswim my
enemy and get away, so I turned, as
soon as I got straightened out in the
lake, and put back the other way. The
bear in the meautime had started
around the end of the boat, coming my
way. I don't know what it was, wheth
er inspiration or fear or bravery, but
certainly it was something out cf the
ordinary, for as I went around one end
of the boat and the bear was at the oth
er or quite near it I wja3 struck with an
idea, and instead of trying speed with
tho bear for the shoro I concluded to
try wits with him right whero we were.
So I swung on to tho end of tho canoe,
which was bottom side up, and as the
bear camo toward me, I tilted the other
end up, and with a sudden jerk, dropped
the inverted boat over the bear's head.
The next minuto I was on top of the
boat with tho bear under me. I guess
he didn't know what had happened to
him, for he didn't seem to do anything
pnder there except to bump his head
against tho bottom and growl. I thought
at first he might have sense enough to
dive and come out on tho othor side ;
hut, like turkeys that walk into a pen
through a hole heading from the outside
into it, and, never once hooking down
for tho hole to get out at, run around in
a crazy kind of f way till they are
caught, that bear staid puder the boat
with me on top of it, bumping his head
and growling. By this time I was feel
ing a good deal like Napoleon crossing
the Alps, or liko some other great hero,
and felt still more like it as I noticed
the bumping and the growling growing
less every minute until finally they
ceased altogether. I didn't understand
that quite and began to wonder if the
bear wasn't catching on to himself and
thinking of the easiest way to get at his
dinner, when over in the clear water of
the lake, a dozen feet or so from tho
boat, I aw something big and dark
slowly going toward the bottom and
drifting away. Another look convinced
me it was my bear, and another minute.
found me swimming for the shore at 40
miles an hour, more or less. Half an
hour later I was on the spot again with
three men in a big canoe, and still half
an hour later found us on shore with
the body of the baar, which we had re
covered from the water. It was a clear
case of human intelligence against
brute force, with tho intelligence the
victor, of course, but when any more
contests liko that aro booked I desire it
understood that I am not competing."
The man whq had told the deer story
heaved a profound sigh and looked at
the beir story teller with admiration.
