A full representa tion Is confidently expected to cxprcsn approval of the wise and patriotic adminis tration of public attain that has brought prosperity to the great common people, to rejoice over the victories of our army and navy and welcome the return of peace and continued good times, Uy order ot the County Central Committee. II. B. HimiEi.y, Ira L. HAuk, Secretary, Chairman. From the east comes the story that Senator Allen will be nomin ated for president by the populist national convention at Sioux Falls. The rumor is causing a little un easiness among those populists who have tied up with Bryan. Of the ten delegates selected by Governor Poypter to attend the TransmiBsissippi congress at Houston, Texas, two are republi cans and the remainder fusioniou ists. ' This shows to what extreme Poynter carries his rank partisan ship. A truk populist will visit Lin coin county next week and spend a few days reorganizing the populist reform parly, which has become Badly demoralized by contact with democracy. The organizer has wide field, in which to woik, but the result of the Harvest is conjectural. The O'Neill Frontier, published at the home of Judge Kinkade, Bays: "It seems to be quite thor oujhly understood that Judge Kin- kaid, who made such a Bplendid showing in.4thc race last year, will again be nominated." Up to this nine run nam is me ouiy name we have noticed in connection with the republican nomination for con gressman, and it is quite probable that the Frontier speaks by the card. The Nebraska delegation to the democratic national convention wil put on more style than any other delegation which attends. Well they can afford it. Since McKtnlcy prosperity firBt struck NcbraBk two or. three years ago the detrio crats have had money to burn. Du Ing these prosperous times the worshippers of Bryan recklessly spend a hundred dollars to where they spent vH fiver under the last democratic udministratidu. The agricultural products of th United States last year were worth to the farmers one and one-half billion dollars more than the outp of either of the years 1895 or 18 The live stock alone is today worth seven hundred million dollars more than during the lam year of Clev land's administration. And yet In the face of these statistics, which were compiled by a non-political agricultural journal, thousands farmers are working to secure the overthrow ot the political party which is responsible for thl wondertul increase. Verily there arc strange ptefpte in this old world. TliKRB is no valid reason why the republican city ticket should not receive the full support of every republican, If the Era refreshes its memory a little it will remember that it was sympathy" which elected a nom inee on the citizen's ticket one year ago, and that it aB&islcd in herald- ng the physical condition of the man. With II. S. White in the mayor's chair the floating indebtedness of the city will be wiped out within the next twelve months. His elec tion means a continuation of the present business-like administra tion. - Tub people of the First ward arc entitled to additional rcprcscntntion on the school board. At present they have but one member, when n all fairness they should have two, Thcv should cast their votes solidly for J. E. Weeks, and thus secure the election of another mem ber from that ward. Those opposing the election of the republican city ticket arc work- ng quietly but earnestly to secure its defeat. They have no words of severe condemnation lor the repub- icau nominees, but they appeal for the votes of republicans on the gronnd that theirs is a non-partisan ticket. This is not true. Every nominee who is on the ticket by petition is a democrat or a populist. Another large trust is being formed in free trade England. This imp it is In the bleaching trade with a capitalization of $50,000,000 to $60,000,000. It will be know as the Lancashire Bleachers' Associa- ion, Limited, and the Loudon Daily Mail says that its object is to prevent price-cutting and allowing discounts to buyers. Is the pro tective tariff of the United States to be held responsible for the par entage ol this latest British trust? Eastehn democratic papers severely criticise the Nebraska democratic platform but insist that Brvan had nothing to do with it. This apology for Bryan is absurd, for he came all the way from Texas to attend the convention, and it it. no secret that he dictated the plat form as adopted. Bryan knew that the public would accept the plat form as his own, and therefore dictated what the principal planks should b6. Those who have read the platform and also the speeches of Mr. Bryan can readily recognize the similarity. The war department is takinc the sensible method of furnishing relief to the people of Porto Rico out of the funds voted by congress tor that purpose. Instead of distributing the money as charity it will be expended in public works. roada and other necessary improve ments aud the people thus given employment. Of course, those who are destitute and who are notable to worK win oe renevea Dy provts ions and other articles remiircd. As peoplcjoi: tropical, countries are uoiie to prone to labor 'the distribu tion of indiscriminate charity would work irreparable injury to the pop ulation by encouraging indolence Bee.
