tS V eign, of the Knight's of Labor, talks
very much like a populist platform.
Democratic congressman do not con
sider protection unconstitutional when
it is given to tbeir pet constituents.

Eight months of Osesarism have done
|? their work. Mr. Cleveland has wrecked
his party.—San Francisco Examiner,
(Dem.)
-;
A man who in these stirring times
changes his politics from democratic to
republican has at least the satisfaction
of appearing consistent.
Had Mipister Willis been Mr. Cleve
land’s commissioner paramount to
Hawaii, the administration would prob
ably not ba in its present humiliating po
jp altion. ___
Chairman Wilson should allow Mr.
Cleveland to dictate bis letters for him,
as he did the tariff bill, or, he should
quit answering complaints. His explan
ations do not explain.
Thb dusky ex-queen Is now in a po
sition to fully understand and appre
elate the meaning of that "iridescent
;. dream” of a retnrn to royalty under
Uncle Sam’s protection.
Bbpbbsbntativb Hainbb, of Now
York, says: “I will vote against the
tariff bill if I am the only democrat In
the bouse who does; it hits a blow at
every Industry in my district."
It is not strange that southern demo
crats in congress should seek to put the
southerners who were disloyal to the
government upon the same legal foot
ing as those who were loyal; they were
mostly disloyal themselves.
Mb. Clbvbland carried Texas by
100,000 majority, but eminent residents
of that state say that he could not carry
it again by one majority. In fact, It is
doubtful whether Mr. Cleveland could
to-day carry three states in the Union,
so unpopular has he made himself in a
little over nine months.
Gun. Basil Dukb, of Kentucky, said
lately that the people of the south were
learning that they cannot afford to let
politics Interfere with their business.
If reports of how the southern senators
and representatives stand on the Cleve
land tariff bill can be relied upon, they
are learning almighty slow.

WeBNthe Independent said "Monkey”
King had attacked Kautzman’s • 'Ma
sonic standing,” an audible smile spread
Itself over the face of the fraternity in
O’Neill. It is generally conceded to be
an Impossibility to attack a man’s "Ma
sonic standing” when the aforesaid man
-has no "standing,” Masonic or other
wise.

Chairman Hatch, of house committee
on agriculture, is outspoken in his oppo
sition to Mr. Cleveland’s recommenda
tion for the abolishment of the experi
mental farms and the distribution of
seeds. There may be democrats in
congress who approve of every recom
mendation made in the president’s mes
sage, but none of them have publicly
said as mneh.
Lbt the democrats in congress be hon
est in their treatment of tho tariff, if
such a thing is possible. Let those of
them who are striving to secure pro
tection for some special industry .either
come out squarely in favor of letting
the tarifl alone, or in favor of absolute
free trade. It protection is right for
one Industry it is right for all. If
wrong, vice versa.
Vrrilt things are changing in the old
dominion. The name of Lee no longer
carries certain success with it, even
when backed by the good wishes, if not
the open support of Cleveland. It is
not surprising that the people who be
lieved the name of Lee to be unconquer
able should be dazed, nor that they
should charge the corrupt use of money
by the friends of Senator-elect Martin.
< ‘ Township organisation is becoming
unpopular in the counties where that
system is in operation. Gage county is
preparing to submit petitions to tbe
next meeting ot the legislature asking a
|*y repeal of the system and to enact laws
similar to those in force in Illinois. It
is evident that something should be done
in Holt county to lessen the burdens of
the people.—Chambers Bugle.
Ho one outside ot tbose directly bene
llttedby tenure of office will contend
’.77 that the township organization has a
single redeeming feature. It seems to
Sfe us that in the face of the fact that the
system has cost Holt county over $50,
000 a year more than that of the com
■ miasioner, that the tax payers would
soon bestir themselves and adopt a less
expensive form of government. Seven
commissioners could do the work nicely.
Mr. Johnson, late of the civil service
commission, knows more about the
nature ot minority reports than lie did;
but the knowledge cost him £3,000 a
year. _
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF Adams, of the
O. A. It., thinks Mr. Cleveland Was
“talking through his bat” when he said
in his message, that thousands of neigh
borhoods have their well known fraud
ulent pensioners, and be orders the G.
A. R. to prove the falsity of the charge
by reporting every known fraudulent
case. That is the proper way to reply to
the uncalled for slander.
Joun McCafferty has again taken
up his pen and written an able article
on irrigation which appears elsewhere
in this issue. John is one of those pe
culiar beings who write only when the
spirit moves, and that averages about
twice a year, but when he does court the
prosey muse an Interesting production is
always the result. The article is worth
the price of admission, and no one will
consider the time wasted that it takes to
wade through it.
Colorado’s governor causes consid
erable amusement for the pcoply of his
own state as well as the country at large.
This is the way one of his home papers
speaksofhsm: “It is a tight race be
Lewelllng and Waite. First Lewelliog
got ahead, but Waite distanced him with
the 'blood to the bridles’ speech, and
the ‘constitutional argument’ for state
coinage of silver. But Lewelling by
proving that he was once a tramp, and
ordering the non-enforcement of the
law against vagrancy, has come to the
front once more. We have faith, how
ever, that Waite will yet prove himself
equal to the occasion, and eventually
win the lunatic race.”
Thebe is a great rejoicing in Canada
over the proposed reduction of 15 cents
per bushel in the duty upon potatoes,
and the same enthusiasm exists in Ger
many and the United Kingdom. This
does not only mean that farmers will re
cleve 15 ceuts per bushel less for pota
toes grown in this country, but .it will
probably be a much greater difference,
because the potatoes grown in our coast
states, which have hitherto supplied the
seaboard market, and those grown along
the Canadian border, which have sup
plied our northern markets, will be
forced further west and south, in com
petition with potatoes grown in other
large potato growing sections of the
country. Then the dealers will have
things their own way and will force
prices down to any point they please,
probably one-half of what they have
been recently paying.
The following interview was pub
lished last week in the Dawes County
Journal, and although no names are
mentioned we have good reasons for be
lieving that it came from Az Perry, late
chairman of the Boyd county democratic
central committee. It seems that Az
has been talking to some one and in the
course of his remarks said:
You will remember what my politics
are, or rather, what they were. Not
long ago I was a democrat.' Well, I
went to the world’s fair. While there I
visited the manufacturers’ building, and
as I looked upon the almost endless evi
dences of this nation’s growth and pros
perity, I felt proud that I am an Ameri
can citizen. As I looked around me at
all this, the thought came to me, what
has the democratic party bad to do with
all this? Then 1 remembered that for
the past thirty years this nation has been
under a republican administration and
that this marvelous prosperity, the evi
dences of which surrounded me, had all
come about under a republican adminis
tration. Now we have had only a few
months of democratic rule, and we have
had nothing but commercial ruin and
financial distress. When I compared
the results of the thirty years of repub
lican rule with those of the present dem
ocratic administration, my patriotism
and pride in America’s magnificent pros
perity brought me to my senses, and I
want to tell you that from now on I am
a republican, first, ladst and all the time.
"The prompt passage by the house of
representatives of the bill admitting
Utah to statehood was somewhat of a
surprise to many of the readers of the
dispatches who were not familiar with
the conditions precedent to the taking
up of the bill',” says the Lincoln Journal.
“It had been anticipated that there
would be vigorous opposition in the
house to the measure and that most of
that opposition would come from the re
publican side, On the contrary, apart
from a speech by Representative Morse,
of Massachusetts, the chief opposition
to the bill was made by Representative
Harter, of Ohio, who opposed it on the
ground that it would give two addi
tional western senators and one addi
tional western representative from a
state with only 240,000 population. Ev
ery one conceded that the restrictive and
repressive legislation of the last ten
years bad wiped out polygamy from
Utah; that the church has taken its
bands off from politics, and that in pop
unuvu, juuubuj, lunit ULiu utiuuie
wealth the territory was in all respects
fitted to enter the sisterhood of states.
It is interesting to note that at the late
election in Utah the republicans elected
& majority of the legislature. This is
aot surprising when it is considered that
the original immigration of Mormons to
the territory was composed very largely
of old line whigs. Brigham Young and
dia apostles taught protection to home
industry to their people as it has never
seen taught elsewhere. For years Utah
was more nearly self-supporting than
my state in the union. The active part
taken by the republican party in the
mppression of polygamy undoubtedly
lor a long time antagonized the leaders
:if the church against that organization.
But with the influx of the gentile ele
ment, with the great development, min
ing and industrial, in the territory, with
the daily discussion of national prob
lems through the press, and with the ap
preciation which Anally came that the
abandonment of a custom that the en
tire rising generation opposed was a ne
cessity, the way was clear for a division
on party lines, and the old time leaders
Hocked once more to the party of pro
tection and with them came the most
progressive of the younger element.”
