Governor Alto eld shouts for free
silver, but his tenants are required to
sign a lease agreeing to pay their rent in
gold, if he demands it.
Tbe Stanton Picket nominates
Gene Moore for governor. There’s no

water will attend to that in ample
time.
It is not surprising that Secretary
Gresham should have trouble with his
own liver and stomach. He has upset a
great many other stomachs and livers by
his conduct of our foreign affairs.
The Neligh Leader might just as well
fill up that grave, as there is not the
slightest probability that tbe Jew will
go down and permit himself to be ex

Ed. Hratii, of the Rushvllle Stand
ard, la no newspaper man. Two weeks
ago his wife presented him a floe baby
girl and he forgot to make a note of it
until it was a week old. A thorough
newspaper man would not have failed
to get a "scoop” on a home-made item
such as that.
Democratic newspapers that desire
it can now hare their editorials written
and set up and plates furnished free by
the National Reform Club, of New
York City, which is to boom the
Cleveland gold standard movement.
Since McHugh failed to secure the
postoffice he will not be expected to
avail himself of this privilege.
It is worse than nauseating to see a
man like McHugh slobbering over
Windy Allen in a column article, show
ing in every line that he worships the
senatorial toga and not the worth of the
man that it adorns. A good senator is
as good as any other good man, but no
better. Men of the McHugh stripe,
though, perhaps will always fawn at the
lower steps of the throne, regardless of
the amount of corruption scattered
around about.
A western Kansas newspaper tells
the following terse story of how popu
lism is viewed now in that country:
"In the western part of this county is
an old soldier who Is in rather straight
ened circumstances. When a car load
of aid arrived at the county seat he
weDt and applied for relief. He was
told that he must make an affidavit that
he was a pauper in order to receive aid.
The old man is a little hard of hearing
and understood them to say he 'must
make affidavit that he was a populist.'
The old man’s eyes flashed, his lips com
pressed and bringing his clenched fist
down with force he exclaimed: ‘I'll be
hanged if I won’t starve and freeze be
fore I'll swear that I’m a populist.'”
tiie following sycophantic slush ap
peared last week In the Sun:
Although holding one of the highest
honors in the gift of the people of the
state, Senator Allen is as unassuming
and unpretentious as when he was prac
ticing law. His seat in the United
States senate is directly in front of Sen
ator Murphy’s of New York, and when
Senator Allen leans back his chair rests
against the New York senator’s desk.
The two senators are warm personal
friends. Senator Murphy is the owner
of one of the finest ranches of blooded
: horses in York state, and while having
a friendly chat with our senator one day
at Washington, he Informed Senator
Allen that he would make him a present
of one of his finest colts. A week or
two later he handed the horse’s pedigree
to Senator Allen, and after the latter re
turned to his home at Madison, after the
adjournment of the senate. Senator
Murphy had a large crate made for the
colt, and with plenty of feed to last him
to the end of his journey, shipped the
colt as promised. * * * Senator
Allen prizes the gift very highly, as the
colt is a full pedigreed standard-bred.
Published in the Lincoln Wealth
Makers, the populist organ of the state
of Nebraska, the same week, was the
following, covering the same subject
matter:
What makes the democrats spread
their wings to defend Senator Allen be
fore he is attacked? Is there a flutter
ing fear in their breasts that we know
Senator Murphy, and know him to be a
tool of Tammany, a boodle politician of
the worst type, a man who perhaps can
be trusted to get at least equal value for
all he gives?
If we recollect aright his constituents
in Troy at the last fall or the preceding
spring election intimidated a great num
ber of voters, and killed one man in
cold blood for simply essaying to exer
cise his constitutional rights as a voter
on election day. It drew general at
tention to Murphy and gave him na
' tional notoriety at the time. We hap
pen to regularly read the New York
papers, and so know something about
"the senator’s colleague,’’ and special
friend, Murphy.
But it should not be assumed that
such a man as Senator Murphy has no
right to make a $2,000 present to his
populist bosom friend. While it seems
a marvel to populists in Nebraska that
their senator should so win and draw
upon the heart of a Tammany demo
cratic colleague, we should remember
that money comes to Murphv in great
rolls and wads, and a little $2,000 token
of political affection is not felt by such
a man.
PERKINS ON POLITICS.
A representative of the Statesman,
Salem, Oregon, called on Melville D.
Larnlon (Eli Perkins), and the result is
given in the following:
"What are your politics?" asked Eli,
looking over bis glasses.
“Straight republican," replied the re
porter modestly.
“Republican,” replied Eli savagely;
“well you have got gall—to come here
to interview a rock-ribbed democrat—a
Randall democrat. What do you want
me to say?"
“We want to enquire if you nre alto
gether pleased with the work of your
party ?’’
“Well-no-I’m not,” said Eli, scratch
ing his head. “I’m not altogether
pleased.”
“Well, what is the matter?"
“I’ll tell you my son,” said Eli, slowly
wiping his glasses, “I’m afraid the party
has gone hack on us Randall democrats.
I’m afraid they’ve lied to us. They
said ‘tariff for revenue’ in the platform
and then they let a lot of one horse
rebels from Tennessee and West Vir
ginia knock tariff for revenue into
llltl. ___ Iiri... Inntnn.1 # onttlnlT
the revenue, we are running in debt
$150,000,000 a year. They told us they
would not lower wages. Then they cut
the tariff 30 per cent, and down went
wages 30 per cent, and the boys are mad.
The free trade democrats got us Ran
dall democrats by the throat. They
wasn’t honest. We were led into a trap
—a free trade trap.”
"What other lies did the free trade
democrats tell you?”
"They said protection didn't protect
wages nor create new industries, and
they made us believe that tin couldn’t
be made in this country. Why, up in
Portland yesterday Joseph S. Megler,
the great Washington salmon canner,
told me he had bought his tin from an
American manufacturer for $4.85 a box
when he always paid $6.50 for Welsh
tin;”
"Then,” continued Eli, "when the
crash came and our mills stopped and
wages went down, what did those free
trade democrats tell us? Why, they
lied again and said it was the silver bill.
The silver bill! Why, the republicans
bought $410,000,000 worth of silver in
thirty years and coined it and the
country was prosperous. We put Cleve
land in and he bought $7,000,000 worth
of silver at the market price, 47 cents
for a dollar, coined it and put it out for
$14,000,000, and we went all4o pieces.
The silver bill!! It was that undemo
cratic free trade tariff, and we Randall
democrats know it now.”
“Well, what do you Randall demo
crats propose to do?” asked the re
porter.
“We can’t do anything,” said Eli.
“If we were in power we’d put that
tariff back again. We’d stop selling
gold bonds for 4 per cent, interest to
Rothchild, but sell them to American
democrats at 3 per cent. We’d help
struggling Hawaii. We wouldn’t sink a
republic and put a negress on a throne.
We wouldn’t make wool free, kill our
own sheep and buy $80,000,000 worth of
wool in Asia. We’d keep our dollars at
home. We’d put that bounty back on
sugar and run sugar all over Texas,
Louisiana, Nebraska and California
and take out cotton. We’d put a tariff
on fine linen that is costing us $30,000,
000 a year in Germany and Ireland,
make the factories come here as did the
tin tactorlesand send flax all over Min
nesota and Oregon and—by the way I
met one of those free trade democrats
yesterday,” said Eli, "up at Portland.
He used to be a Randall democrat. I
smu 10 imn:
“ ‘George what did you change for?’
“ ‘Well. I've got a reason,’he said.
“ ‘What was itT’
“ TU tell you, I did it to disgrace an
uncle of mine.’
“‘What had your uncle done?’ I
asked.
“ ‘He swindled me out of my inherit
ance and separated me from my family,
and I just made up my mind that I’d
become a free trade democrat and dis
grace him.’
" ‘What is your uncle doing?’ I asked.
“ ‘He’s pounding iron in the Salem
penitentiary.’
‘‘‘Well’ I said, ‘you’ye disgraced
him.”' ___
Fob some time now the Beacon
Light has been running an article under
the heading, “A Republican Lie Hailed.”
It makes comparison of the fees col
lected in '92 by Scott, and those col
lected in ’94 by Mullen, which shows
that the fees collected by Scott aggre
gate a thousand dollars more than
those collected by Mullen. With the
comparison as evidence the Smudge at
tempts to say that because Scott col
lected more money than Mullen that his
administration cost the county more.
The man who understands that the
treasurer’s salary depends upon the
amount he collects will not be misled by
the Jew’s transparent fraud.
Tub Chadron Signal, which is a pop
paper, says that Tom Golden, of O’Neiil,
•will probably be a candidate, on the
independent ticket, for distriet judge.
Fact is, Tom is about the only available
statesman the pops have in the east
end. The same paper is authority for
the statement that the west end candi
date may be W. H. Wes tower, of Rush
ville. : . \.

Prof. L. D. Edwards, of Preston,

overwork. I suffered from brain fa
tigue, mental depression, etc. I be

discouraged and blue. I began taking

sleep soundly, I feel bright, active
