Secretary Carlisle denies the re port that he has become wealthy while holding- his present office. The president appears to be the only member of the administration who has made a fortune. That administration democratic delegation from Nebraska may after all conclude that there is no use for it to present itself at the convention doors in Chicago, only to have them slammed in its face as soon as the body organizes. Bee. Vice president Stevenson predicts that "there will be a heao of vest- 4. pocket voting- tor the republican ticket by sound money democrats" this year; and there is every reason to believe that for once in his life he is right. The Kansas democratic conven tion w as delayed half a day while the committee was trvinjr to find some preacher willing- to open proceed ing's with prayer. The public gen erally will feel more respect than ever before for the Kansas clergy. Council Bluffs Nonpariel. The republican party will take the hams and shoulders and side meat and leave the bristles and squeals to the extreme gold bugs and silver men tor stock in trade in the coming- political contest People who have been feeding- on bristles and squeals for two years want a better diet. Inter Ocean. A Lincoln man sent Colonel Cody a messag-e the other day all the way to Chicago, asking- him if he would accept the republican nomination for g-overnor. The Lincoln g-entle-t man assumed considerable respon- sibility which will in no wise nits- Hill lead the great showman. He doesn't want any politics in his as long as the show business continues to pan out so well. Kearney Hub. The mints of the United States turned out last month, in a cold bug era, a mdlion and a half silver dollars. This was the average pro duction of silver dollars in fifteen years during the halcyon period of free and unlimited coinage of silver from the foundation of the srovern ment down to the crime of '73. It's curious how the old thinjr works. But in those times the silver dollar wasn't the "cheap dollar" and no body wanted to coin it- Journal. Referring to the assertion that the only way to meet cheap foreign labor competition is to adopt free silver coinage, Senator Morrill points out that exchauges between the United States and Japan, for instance, could be equalized only by reducing American wages to the Japanese standard or raising Jap anese wages to the American level. -Free coinage of silver of silrer as a remedy against Japanese or any other cheap foreign labor, he adds, "would prove very much like tak ing refuge in a pest-house to avoid the plague." Some of the shrewd politicians are trying to kill off Auditor Moore's gubernatorial boom let by bringing J i r i . in a constitutional atnentlmeist which provides that -no person shall be eligible to the oSce of gov ernor or lieutenant-governor who shall not have attained to the asreof 30 years, etc, and none of the offi cers ot the executive department shall be eligible to any other state office during the period for which they shaH have been elected." The supreme court has been asked to determine the matter but it looks as if it was going a good way around to kill of a candidate. Grand Island Independent. In an open letter in the June num ber of the "Golden Rod Workman" Grand Master Workman Tate ad monishes the brethren of the order selection of state officials this year. in riew of the fact that there seems to be some disposition to make a fig-ht against mutual insurance com panies. Reviewing- the work the order has accomplished, he savs: -In the brief period of its existence it has poured into the empty pocket books ot the widows and orphans of its deceased members, more than sixty-five millions of dollars. It has thus saved 32,560 families from poverty and want. Allowing- an averag-e of five to the family, it has sheltered aad. protected 162.500 widows and orphan children from the dangers incident to the death of the husband and father." "Irrigation's the thing," says ChaunceyM. Depew. after a month's trip through the western states. Like every one else who enters the domain of King Water. Dr. Depew wa converted quickly and easily, and he has v.cv: returned to the east to tell the farmers of that section a few of the "blessings of aridity." What matters it if the water does cost something, it's cheaper than fertilizers, and a crop is always as sured. More power to the silver tongue of the renowned doctor in teaching the eastern public of the advantage and possibilities of the Great West instead of the Greater New York -Irrigation Are. Statisticaa tell us that in no year during" the last quarter of a century has corn failed to reach 40 cents a busbel iu July and August in this market. The question, is, will this year be aa exception to the rule? Nebraska is vitally interested in this matter, for their are vast quantities of corn stored throughout j the state awaiting- the rise in mar ket price. When the corn .raoves money will be plentiful in the coun try towns and our jobbers will de rive benefits in turn. Bee. plays That please.
