TUESDAY, JAN. 2, 1900. 1IIA L BARE, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year, cash In advance,.,.,,,,,,,,. ...... 11.25 Blx Months, cub In advance,.., 7S Gents' KatredatthNorthPlatte(Nbraaka)poitofneesi econd-fllass matter. Matt Daughertv, of Sidney, has been chosen to respond to the wel coming address by the governor of Texas and the mayor of Ft. Worth at the meeting of the National Live Stock Association iliis month, The grain production of Nebraska for last year was seventy-five mil lions of dollars. This is greater than the gold production of the United States for the same year. Nebraska ia not in nearly aB bad shape as the populint orators would have the country believe. The stock receipt at South Oma ha during the year just closed were the heaviest in the history of that stock center. The stock received during 1899 were as follows: Cattle 837,563, hogs 2,210,482. sheep 1,086, 319, horses and mules 103,5-13. The total valuation of this stock was over sixty millions of dollars. The business records of 1897, 1898 and 1899, and especially the last two, demonstrate the level headedness of President McKinlcy when in 1896 he said that it was better to open the mills than the mints. It is necessary to have a republican administration if you want general prosperity. History proves this, Four explosive bombs, a few fire arms and 500 pounds of ammuni tion were discovered in a house in the center of Manila Sunday morn ing while the police were seeking Recarte. the insurgent leader, who was said to have come to Manila in the hope of effecting an outbreak Saturday by taking advantage of the mobilizat loir of the American troops at General Law-ton's funeral. Tho Greatest Tear on Record. Bradstrect's review of the busi ness of the past year says: "Rare ly have sauguine commercial and financial hopes or predictions found such adequate realization as they did during 1899. Certainly the widespread and general upward movement of valuep, alike of staples and of securities bucIi aB oc curred this year could not have been foreseen. Linked with an immense business and record-breaking pro duction in nearly all lines oi busi ness and industry except, pcrhapp, in some products of theagricultural interest, there was with it an ad vance of staple values, either of which alone would have made the year notable, and combined they have served to cBtablish the year as a record-breaker and set up new standards. The volume of domestic and ot foreign trade alike was the largest ever recorded and the bank clearings rellect immense business expansion, active speculation in stocks and im mense new industrial lloatings far surpassing all previous records. Prices, as a result primarily of the stipulation proceeding from supply and demand conditions, scored probably the greatest advance in any single year and brought the general level of Btaple values to the highest point reached for more than eight years past. Failure statistics point to the smallest .number reported for seventeen years past. These results have come to pass in the face of a considerable les sened production qt wheat and an itnmeiiBe falling off in the yield of cotton, With the exception of marked speculative activity in the latter during the earlier part of the Bcasoti, speculation on the leading exchanges has been more largely confined to stocks and securities. OUR WASHINGTON JjETTEIt. Washington, D. C, Dec. 30, '99. Special Correspondence Bryan having announced that he is com ing east to makeBp&echcs, the peo ple are preparing to make him ex plain the failure cf hi predictions as recorded in "The First Battle." He may think he is coining east to discuBB the expansion question, but lie will find that general interest is centered around the money ques tion, anil that the "enemy's coun try" is thoroughly loaded with ar guments and proots. The smoke from the factory chimneys of the cast will cause William to have a bad cough and will bring tears to Ins eyes before he gets through. One of the populist members from the west has denied the existence ot prosperity, and asks why it is mat so many poor people arc ad vertising for work in New York city if there is so much work to be had. It would be just as sensible lor him to ask why people in Oma ha advertise for jobs during the season when the Nebraska farmers cannot find hands to gather the corn crop. Many homeless people congregate in the large cities and work at occasional jobs, rather than go to the country where work is plenty. In the mean time those who have places in the cities are continually on the look out for bet ter ones, and the "work wanted advertisements come largely from mis inner ciass. nerc in Wash ington there are probably more people out of work than there job less people in the state of Nebras ka, yet an advertisement for men to go out in the woods or down on the plantations to do hard work would not" meet with a dozen re sponses. Tlicy are not looking for that kind of work. They have the "town fever." This explains why people will be out of work in Oma ha while other people will be hunt ing for workmen at Arlington, not twenty miles away. The Nebraska congressmen have received their garden seeds from the government, and are ready to send them out on request bciuir re ceived lrom the people at home. unc member states that all requests should get in by the 10th of Janua ry, as Ins supply will be exhausted after that date. This hint should be sufficient to hurry up those who want government garden scedB. The selection of a candidate for the vice-presidency is at present agitating the republicans congre gated at Washington. Some time ago it was conceded that a New York man should be chosen, al though it was also talked that a Ncuraskan on the ticket would add strength in the west. Since the failure of the New Yorkers toacree on a man there is a little increase in the Nebraska talk, and it is pos sible that the next vice-president may come lrom west ot the Mis souri river. The fact that Nebras- ka has two senators to elect makes tills all the more possible. While the electoral vote of our state may not be tin important factorin the selection of a president, the possession of the two senatorships is all important, and the contest in Nebraska is Biire to receive the ut most attention of both parties, no matter who is on the presidential UCKCt. F. A. Harrison. It is believed that the action of the governor of "Nebraska in ap pointing Fog Horn Allen United States senator, sounds tlif death knell of fusion in that state. G. M. Hitchcock, the democratic can didate, has done more for fusion than any other man in the west; he has done more for W. J. Bryan than any other dozen men in the west. Still, Bryan recommended the ap pointment of Allen. Mr. Hitchcock ih the owner of the Omaha World Herald, and has put several million dollars into the democratic and fu sion causes. Allen has been paid a big Halary for every hour he has been engaged in politics. The turn ing down of Hitchcock was t'he tin kindest thing that has been done in western politics in year, and stamps the governor of Nebraska an un grateful, and a poor politician. Atchjson Globe.

The work of compilinir the house and senate journals of the last leg islature was awarded last Saturday by the state printing board to R. H, Langford, of this city.
