Now that Senator SlbvVnjt has re
turned to the republican fold it is
to be presumed that the crime of
73 was not so everlastingly bad as
it was painted.
Tomorrow Paul Vandervoort
and a number of other NcbraskatiB

V. J. Bryan will invade the
"enemy's country" next week, and
enroute will stop at Lincoln and
attend the banquet to be given by

down at uaiias, Texas, on
Uliriatmas day, seven men were
shot, four of them fatally, while
involved in quarrels, They evi

whiskey in the Lone Star State.
It is said that Governor Poyntcr
will make several resolutions on
New YcarB Day, one of which will
be that he will not appoint any
more populistB tooflice during his
term. This will be gladsome news
to the democrats of the state.
the I'rcmont Trioune tells a
Great Truth when it says: -'The
populist party is no place for a
young man. It is merely an asylum
for those politicians who have out
lived their usefulness in the two
older organizations.
Senator Thurston haB Intro
duccd a bill in the senate appioprl
ating one hundred thousand dollars
for a public building at Hastings,
but the citizens of that town de
mand that the amount be raised to
$150,000. North Platte will be
satisfied with a public building
costing half of the latter sum. We
arc not a bit hoggish up this way.
Some dayB ago the supreme court
decided that the board of transpor
tation has authority to regulate ex
press ralcB, but as yet we have not
heard ol the board tuking any
action looking toward a reduction
of rates. Now that the board has
authority let the members live up
to their profession of relorm," but
if they do everybody will be sur
priBcd.
After next Thursday two of the
three members of the board of couu
ty commissioners will be rcpubli
cans. This ts the second time in
the history of the county that there
has been a majority of republicans
on the board. There are a number
of reforms which should be made
by the commissioners and we arc
confident they will be made by
Messrs. AVoodhural and Carpenter.
thk urn in its last aionuay s is
r . n t mm
sue called attention to and denied
the statement made by The Tri
hune to the effect that out of eight
criminal prosecutions made by
County Attorney Kidgcly in the
last term of district court lie had
succeeded in getting a conviction in
t acit case. In its denial the Era
states that the county attorney se
cured but two convictions out of
eight prosecutions, a statement
that is absolutely false and made
for the express purpose of injuring
Mr. Kidgely's reputation as a pros
ccutor. Tiie court and jail rcc
oruB win snow tuat lucre was a
conviction in each case. As to the
additional statement in the same
article that the coutity attorney
had filed informations for graver
oflcuscs than were committed, the
records snow tuat two 01 me men
who were convicted in the district
court of a misdemeanor plead guil
ty to the same information in the
lower court, and another was found
guilty ot misdemeanor on a com
promUe verdict, fixing the value of
the property stolen at live cents be
low the grand larceny statute. The
other party who went to jail for a
misdemeanor plead guilty to that
crime upon an offer of the county
attorney to accept tuat Kind ot a
plea on account of an important
witness for the state having left
the country. If the 12 r a Iiub a de
sire to be truthful it will correct its
statements so us to conform with
the court record p.

INDUSTRY'S GROWTH
ONE OF PROTECTION'S GRANDEST
ACHIEVEMENTS.
Ucninrknble Development of OnrDo-
tncatlo Iron and Steel Industry nil
the HcnbU of OnnnlliiK the Home
Market.
Thcro la no Industry among tho
many wlilcli are, so to spcaic, in-
llccnous to this country which has
prospered :o mnrvelously as that of
Iron and Its various manufactured
forma. Aud thcro Is no Industry which
so greatly Indebted to protective
tariffs for Its development Indeed,
without protection tho phenomenal
progress In this Industry, which has
been tho wonder of tho civilized world
during tho last 30 years, would havo
been impossible.
For inoro than two centuries tho de
velopment of tho Iron Industry was
slow. Not until ten years after tho dis
covery In 1030 of hog Iron orb In Mas
sachusetts was tho metal converted to
ncful purposes, and It was not until
early n century after Its discovery
that forges wcro constructed for tho
manufacture of nail rods, and a decado
elapsed beforo rolling mills wcro es
tablished.
Thcro was, however, good reason
then for this slow development. Tho
country was young nud sparsely set
tled, tho Inhabitants wcro devoted
moro to agricultural pursuits than to
manufactures, and, moreover, Great
Britain sought by every possible
means to stlllo Industrial progress In
tho colonics, especially In Hues which
would ho compctlttvo and thcrcforo
prejudicial to her Interests. With tho
birth of tho now republic camo a grad
ual expansion of this Industry, and In
1777 steel was first mndo In this coun
try. Thereafter manufactures of Iron
and steel gradually grow In Itnpor
tnncc. Tho dovclopmcnt ot tho couiv
try which followed tho construction of
tho first railroad In 1830 gavo an Im
pctus to tho rallmaldng Industry, but
It was not until 30 years later that tho
progress becamo nt nil rapid.
After tho close of tho civil war thero
camo a marked expansion of our rail
road system, hut It was not until tho
Introduction of tho hcsscincr process
for making steel that the substitution
of steel for Iron rails was mado possl
blc. Then followed tho extension of
railroads In tho moro sparsely settled
portions of tho country, which exten
sion nldcd In opening up many sections
rich In minerals, besides affording
cheap transportation for ores and tho
products of the farm. The population
of tho country greatly lucrensed, thus
developing our resources nud leading
to new and vastly Important discover
les, not the least valuable of which
were those of minerals aud metals.
Tho Iron and steel Industry kept even
pace with tho development of the coun
try, aided by tho protection against
foreign competition which was afford
cd by the tariff of 1801 and tho subse
quent enactments during Republican
administrations.
The controvcrsery concerning the
year which will mark the close of
the nineteenth centurv still con-
tinties to rage and both sides are
absolutely certain that their theory
is the only correct one. Several
metropolitan journals have recent
ly devoted considerable Bpace to
correspondence on the subject but
the. problem still remains unsolved.
However the average evcrydav citi
zen will still continue to eat three
meals a day, enjoy McKinley pros
perity and happiness and let the
wiseacres waste time trying to
solve the matter.
