Democratic editors are again happy.
The postmaster general has stated that
the editors of democratic papers will
have an equal show with all other appli

Thk news that has been received from
Washington that all applications for
office are to be officially acted upon
April 1, is cruel and unfeoling. and we
believe, untrue.

’ Since Grover Cleveland became presi
dent. March 4, about six thousand re
publican postmasters have resigned.
Still there are hundreds of applicants
who are of the opinion that they arc not
dropping out fast enough.
Tun report that W. D. Mathews has
"squared" himself with Grover and will
retain his grasp upon his present official
position, may not be true, although we
are prepared to believe almost anything
in these stirring times.
V: "
Wh
FnLti many a republican editor will
feel that his wrongs have been avenged
when Register Mathews’ official head,
filled with false ideas of “justice,”
quietly rests in the garbage wagon as
the procession goes marching on.
Chairman Harkitv recently, took a
Voluntary pilgrimage to the white house
to deliver a batch of unasked for sug
gestions. It is needless to slato that
Grover will do as he pleases about
adopting any of the suggestions.
Wk are in receipt of volume 1, Num
ber 1, of the Emerson Times, published
at Emerson, Neb., by A. L. Moan. It
is a neat paper, full of news of its town
and county, and if its future issues are
like its first it is sure to succeed.
M. V. Ganmon, of Omaha,will not be
Riven the Chillian mission. But he has
been informed by the president that he
will be given one equally as acceptable.
He will probably be tendered a mission
to one of the South American countries.

If Private Secretary Thurber con
tinues treating the newspaper boys like
they were messengers whose time is at

Last week Senator Manderson re
signed his position as president of the
senate. He delivered a neat speech in
which he thanked the senators for the
honor of having been elected to that
position unanimously. Senator Harris,
of Tennessee, was elected to the
vacancy.
It is announced through the daily
press that President Cleveland has
finally made up his mind to call an
extra session of congress next Septem
ber. This statement has been made
several times during the past week to
members of both houses, says the New
York Herald.

Davk Hill cannot have any of hit
friends appointed to office. Senatoi
Palmer, of Illinois, is in the same con
dition, and the number of candidatei
who bad the recommendation of th<

senator is probably now reminded oi
the fact that he was not a Cleveland
man prior to the Chicago convention,
Grover remembers bis friends.

We notice in the State Journal of
Tuesday, that our old friend John

is slated for the position of register of
the Chadron land office. John has our
congratulations, and we opine that be

It is estimated that two million peo
ple are getting ready to attend the
world's fair, and that each one has laid
aside ane hundred dollars as expense
money for the trip. Thus it is expected
that $175,000,000 will be turned loose
into the channels of trade beginning
with the opening of the fair May first.

Tits late Senator Logan once said of
Mr. Cleveland: "He is a man courage
ous for the destruction of his friends
and one who might be a coward before
a powerful enemy.” Hundreds of men
who have been his friends know the
truth of the first part of this opinion,
but if he is a coward it is yet to be
proven.
To the astonishment of one-half the
democrats of Nebraska, Frank White,
of Plattsmoutb, was appointed United
States marshal for the district of Ne
braska. The dally papers have not as
yet decided upon whose recommenda
tlon be was appointed, but it is under
stood that Senator Allen and Congress
man Bryan opposed the appointment.
There are lots of surprises ahead for our
democratic brethren.
The Chicago Inter Ocean was 31
years old last Saturday, and it celebrated
its important birthday by publishing a
60 page paper, including - illustrated
supplement, with four pages in colors,
and is a thing of beauty in many ways.
The Inter Ocean is one of Amirica’s
greatest newspapers, always abreast of
the times, and is certainly deserving of
the success with which it is meeting.
During this eventful year, when Chicago
is the center of attraction for all the
world, that popular journal will be in
great demand by those who are desirous
of learning all that is going on in the
world’s fair city.
A woman died in New York last week
who had trod in the fighting line of her
sex, doing all she could to establish the
principle that woman can do almost
anything a man can do; that she should
be as carefully educated as a man if she
tries to do his work; and that the treat
ment given a man must be endured by
his competitor, woman. She was Miss
Mary F. Seymore, editor of the Busi
ness Women’s Journal. She had also
served as commissioner of deeds in
New Jersey, and commissioner of the
.United States court of eiaims. She
also had conducted half a dozen type
writing schools, and was the special
friend of young women seeking to earn 1
their own living. Miss Seymour was a
prophetic type daily growing more con
spicuous in the closing years of this
century. When the sun rises on the
new cycle her numbers will be legion.
—Inter Ocean.
The following description of the
building erected by the state of Nebras
ka at the world’s fair we clip from the
Chicago Inter Ocean of March 35:
“The building erected by the state of
Nebraska is in a fine position, just with
in the fifty-seventh street entrance to
the park, on the north side of the boule
vard. The style of architecture is clas
sical, and of the Corinthian order. The
buildtng has a grand area of 00 by 100
feet, and is two stories high. The ex
terior is of staff. On the east and west
fronts are wide porticoes, approached
by flights of steps. Over the porticoes
are projecting gables supported by six
columns twenty-five feet high, the full
distance from ths coruice to the floor.
In each pediment is the state seal, tn
bas-relief, five feet in diameter. From
each portico three large double doors of
oak give entrance to the exhibit hall.
This room is 60 by TO feet and in it an
agricultural display will be made. On
the first floor, also, are a recpetion room,
commissioners’ office', baggage room and
postofflce. A double stairway, nine feet
wide, leads from the center of the ex
hibit hall to the second floor. Here it
an exhibit room 60 by 70 feet, ustd foi
an art exhibit. On this floor are a
woman’s parlor, reading-room, smoke
ing-room and toilet-rooms. Architect,
Henry Voss, of Omaha: contractor,
F. A. Scheltus, of South Chicago, cost,
•90,000.’*

W. It. Koach, the mao whom the
senate of North Dakota elected United
States sonator a few months ago, is to
be impeached by the senate. About 15
years ago ha was a cashier of a bank
aud absconded with about $75,000.
The affair was fixed up and he paid
part of it h*ck, but there are several
members of the senate who bbiect to
have such a man occupying one of the
highest offices in the gift of the peo
ple; and they are right.
A little moreaunahine, Morton, please.
• little more vernal heat. We are weary
of winter with leafless treaa and colds
in the head and feet. Turn on the
caloric, then, old duck, and give us the
best there la, or may you forever have
hard luck, and die of the rbeumatiz!
When Rusk, gentle Jerry, was in your
place, he’d only to pull the string, to
make hoary winter, with speed and
grace, abandon the lap of spring. But,
Morton, you’ve dallied along serene,
neglecting the weather ahop; now if
you don't start up the old machine, your
name shall be mud, sure pop.—State
Journal.
Dennie Cronin, of Thb Frontier,
is no slouch of a democrat when you
examine the siftings of bis political pre
dilections, hence, why not compromise
the struggle between McHugh, Doyle,
Sullivan, et al, and all unite in making
Donnie postmaster at O’Neill? He has
the untarnished Emerald tint, and in
every other respect possesses the essen
tial qualifications for an efficient and
trustworthy public servant. Besides
his appointment would harmoniously
blend with the sheklnah that halos
Grover’s mugwumpism.—Graphic.
We are very thankful to our friend
Bates, who penned the above, for bis
manifest interest in us. While we are
confident that we could wear the official
robes with ease, sort the letters with a
critical eye and draw the salary, which
goes with the office, with joy; stills we
have no desire to fill the position, as we
are not in touch with the present admin
istration. Years ago when in our teens,
we thought we were a democrat, but as
we grow older we are growing firmer in
our belief that the republican party is
the party for the people, and we will
march to victory in 1896. So now we
are content with sitting in the back
ground and watching the struggle.
ELI AND HOKE ON REVENUE.
The Sun* “which shines (from New
York) for all," has this article. On the
principle that
“A little nonsense, now and then,
Is relished by the wisest men.”
THB VIEWS OP STATESMEN WHO DO NOT
RULE THB TREASURY,
They were talking about the low bal
ance in the treasury the other day at
Colonial Club when Eli Perkins, the
great American truth teller, was asked
what caused it. '
“It was caused," said Eli, “by the
republicans foolishly paying out 888,
000,000 to reimburse the states for the
equipment of troops in 1861. This had
been due the states for 30 years. Cleve
land wouldn’t pay this debt, but the
first' thing Harrison did was to pay it.
How foolish! He ought to have let it
dangle along and let the next adminis
tration pay It. That’s what Grover
did.”
“But how shall we raise sufficient
revenue now?” was asked.
“Why, lower the tariff, import more
goods, and collect the revenue on them.”
“But can we import these things and
still make them at home?”
“Why, of course, any one can see
that. Hoke Smith says so.”
“What would-you put a tariff on?”
"Hoke and, I would have a tariff for
revenue, not for protection. We’d
adopt the English tariff. The English
have a tariff of 8 cents on tea, 5 cents
on coffee, 4 cents on cocoa, 81.30 on
tobacco, 83.50 on whisky, and 1 cent on
sugar. Sugar, coffee, tea and tobacco
are free in America.”
“And tin, what would you do with
that? We have fifty-six factories now,
making about one-tenth of the tin used.” |
“Oh, let it come from Wales. The
more we import the more we’d manu
facture here. Can’t you see?”
“And the ninety-four pearl button
factories now in this country, what of
them? Would you take the tariff off
and let our workmen work for German
wages or go back homer
“Why yes. With a low tariff they’d
all be imported from Austria, and, at
the same time our factories would be
running here. Hoke Smith says so.”
“And what will we do with sugar?
We are paying out now 8100,000,000 for
sugar. All oar surplus wheat goes for
sugar. Mim ■i|uar« are guiug juiu
beet eager in Nebraska and California.
Sugar cane ia moving up into Tefaa and
Louiaiania. It’a going up the Bracoa.
A halt a million balea of cotton came
out laat year to give place to augar and
rice. Shall we take the bounty offand
buy our augar in Germany, France and
Cuba, or keep on the bounty af Ger
many did, and by and by make ail our
own augar? Shall we choke off the
splendid augar f actoriea at Grand Island,
Norfolk ana Aberdeen, Dakota?"
“Why. yea; Import it and get the
revenue. What's 4100,000,000 worth of
home-made augar to ua? What do we
care for 920,000,000 worth of home
made plate glaaa, and 9100,000,000 worth
of iron? Let the knitting factories go
back to Germany, let tin plate go back
to Wales, let pearl buttons go back to
Vienna, and plate glass and nottery and
velvet go back to England and France.
We want to get revenue on them. We
are in for revenue. The boys voted for
a change and we are going to have it.
They got 60 per cent, protection and
300 per cent, bigger wages than any
other woikmen on earth, and now they
are going to get 30 per cent, protection,
have the same wages, and the things are
all going to be made in Europe. You
hear me—and Hoke!”
Then the old truth teller wiped bis
glasses with his red bandanna handker
chief and went on reading the presi
dent's inanguraL
