ORIGIN OF NATIONS.
Persian history claims that the Per
sians are descended from Perseus and
Andromeda.
The Finns were af first the Feuns,
or Fen men, who dwelt in the marshes
north of "the Baltic sea. They were con
quered fay the Bnsaians in the twelfth
century.
The Saxons appeared in the fourth
century as a warlike Gcrraau tribe.
Their name was derived, it is supposed,
from the seas, a heavy battleax, which
was their favorite weapon.
The Latins are first mentioned as a
nation of people under the rule of
Latinns, 1240 B. C. They inhabited
the central regions of Italy about mid
way between the Alps and the southern
extremity.
The Gorsicans of the present day are
descended from Phoenicians, Greeks,
Carthaginians, Bournus, Vandals, Goths,
Visigoths, Arabians, Italians and
french. According to Seneca the abo
rigines were "robbers, liars and ather
ists."
The" Russians are believed. to have
originated from a Slavonian tribe called
the Eoxilani about th Christian era.
At a later date 1 hey were also called
Muscovites, from Moscow, their leading

863 A. D.
The English are first mentioned in
history as the Augies, a German tribe
inhabiting a porticii of the Eeacoast be

English king tfco ruled in England
was Egbert, -iu b2S, who at Hengest

Why is it that the local populist
paper does not call down those
eighty populist occupants of the
state house who ride over the state
of Nebraska and. adjoining- states
on railroad passes? Dont you leno-v,
Mr. Cheyney, that your pmrty has
always considered-a railroad pass
a bribe? Have the courage, Mr.
Cheyney, to condemn in your cwn
political party what you condemn
in other parties.
"We learn from the. Record that
underhanded, desperate and varied
methods have been " employed to
force the withdrawal of the demo
cratic county ticket TVe. are both
pained and surprised to learn that
the populists those holy, pure
and spotless reformers would be
guilty of underhanded methods.
The Record must be mistaken.
Lucien Stebbins. says "Bryan
recites speeches he committed to
memory from some farmer or a
blacksmith." For fear this state
ment might keep some people away
from this evening's meeting, we
are requested to state that Mr-Bryan's-
speech this evening will
differ from his stereotyped utter
ances made last fall. This year he
is attempting to act as a breaker
to the waves of prosperity which
are sweeping over Nebraska.
In view of the editorial on fusion
printed in the Bra a few weeks
ago, in which it was stated that
the populist party was not in
debted to the democrats tor success
in Lincoln county, it would be real
interesting ta know just where
Mr. Cheyney now stands on the.
fusion matter. High Priest
Buchanan, acrbrding to the Record,
cries "we must get together" every-
time he-, meets a democrat, does
Mr. Cheyney acr TinrsrDe way. or
does he still consider the demo
cratic party of Lincoln county a
class of ignoramuses who. to use
his own words, dont know why
they are democrats,, and are there-
lore" not helpful or needful to that
wonderfully enlightened and up-to-date
organization lenown as the
populist party.
The Saturday Record gave Hon
est Butler a solar plexus jab when
it said:
Democracy is-gathering strength
at a rate most gratifying. "Who
would have predicted that the jani
tor of the court bouse and Butler
Buchanan would to-day be head
and front in inanaging Mr. Bryan's
campaign?
Honust Butler will soon be neck
and neck with office-seeker Neville
in the number o political parties
to which he has belonged. "We are
not informed as to Butler's politi
cal record in Iowa, but when he
came to Lincoln county he claimed
to be a republican and was elected
county clerk by that p;arty in 1889.
ln 1891 he had grave fears, of being
re-elected on the repqblican ticket,
and before his term was out he ac
cepted the pop nomination for clerk.
For this political treachery he suf
fered defeat, but two years later
was nominated and elected as a
populist treasurer, and two years
later succeeded himself. Now that
he cannot get anything more from
the pops, be is. according to the
democratic Saturday Record, man
aging the campaign for Bryan, who
is one of the rankest democrats in
the state. Two years from now
Butler will probablj be a candidate
for some county office on the demo
cratic ticket. All of which goes to
show that Butler joins a political
party purely from principle (3)

Bryan demonstration and the at
tendance promises to be large.

When the applause on the demo

read the communication from Lu
cien Stebbins, which was published
in last Saturday's Telegraph. With
the contents of those two articles
fairly in mind, we are confident the
audience would be in cood trim to
receive and digest the remarks
made by the orator of the evening.
Populists already concede the
election of A. S. Baldwin and C. P.
Ross. In another week thev will
make further concessions to the re -
republican ticket. The fact of the
matter is the populists have virtu
ally dropped work for all their nom

now concentrating
on electing him.

Perhaps the most diverting claim
of the pops in Nebraska is that
Treasurer Meserve has performed
a wonderful feat in paying out
more money to the schools than his
predecessor during any of the four
years of democratic distress. The

back rent for school lands and

collectors, and there is more money
in the school fund then last year.

their leases thereby, and it was
