Accordikk to computations made by Governor Poynter the popula tion of Nebraska for 1900 will be 1.2Mi.524. This is. probably, a pretty good guess. Tin: house committee on pensions has reported a bill granting- a pen sion of fortv dollars a month to the widow of the In tc Colonel Stoiscn berg, of the First Nebraska Regi ment. That is a proper move. M. C. Harrington authorizes the Era to announce that he will not be a candidate for the congression al nomination. His only political desire at present is to represent the Sixth congressional district in the democratic national convention at Kansas City. TiiURU promises to be a lively scramble for fusion nominations for state offices. Already a half dozen arc seeking the secretaryship, an equal number after the auditor- ship, and almost as many for each of the other offices The demo crats have made a demand for at least ,two offices, and this has caused a runturc which will in crease as time goes on. I). 10. TiiOMl'KON, of Lincoln, has issued auopen letter to the repub licans of Lancaster county in which he practically announces his can didacy for the United Sates senate.

Tim Lincoln Independent at' tempts to rcviye the long1 ago dis carded populist doctrine that the olhce should seek the man. That doctrine did not last through one campaign alter being promulgated, and it was unpopular even during its brief life among Hie leaders of the populist party. The attempt to revive it will promptly be sat upon by the office-seeking .crowd Which controls the great "reform" forces of Nebraska. Tin: American Agriculturist, a non-partisan publication devoted purely to agricultural matter, pre scuts some figures of Interest to farmers in a political way, though such was not the object of their collection. The comparative state ment of the value of farm products in recent years shows that during !l the nabt veai thev were worth $1,000,000,000 more than durln the years of democratic depression. On live stock the increase is 36 per cent, on staple cropH 25 per cent ami on dairy and miscellan eous products -10 per cent. These figures apeak volumes for the value of republican policies to the farmer as well as the manufacturer.--Bee. This Topeka Capital, which Rev. Sheldon has been running this week as a christian newspaper, will prove more of a itnaucial than a journalistic success.
