Tai people say McKinley, and lo,
there is an immediate restoration of
confidence and a revival of business
in all branches.
. If McKinley is the Napolean of
American politios his Waterloo is a
long ways off, and a Wellington has
yet to show up.
Fob tbs first time Kentucky east
her vote for a republican president.
Wonder if Doe Mathews is not sorry
he changed his politics ?
Tn gall of certain editors who are
advising President-elect McKinley
to abandon protection, lest the feel
ings of some of the free traders who
supported him be hurt, is great, but
their judgment is bad.
No max is better qualified, by
acquaintance with republicans in
every section, to select a cabinet of
competent men than is Major Mc
Kinley. He knows them so well
that he will make no mistake.
It is probable that Senators Jones
and Faulkner, the men who knew so
much about oondcting campaigns,
have been for the last time connected
with the management of a national
campaign.
Tax man who doubts the mill
opening ability of President-elect
MoKinley has stopped talking. He
oonldn’t argue against the opening
of mill doors and the whirring of
long idle machinery.
Jamis H. Ricos, formerly editor
of Tn FaoxnxB, has leased the
Dodge Criterion, taking possession
of that paper last week. Jim is a
first class newspaper man, and will
give the people of Dodge a good
newspaper. We wish him success.
Ma. Bbvax is to be in the show
business after all. He fa president
of the Trans-Mississipi Congress,
which is to boom the Omaha expo
sitin, and everbody will wish him
every suooesa in that undertaking,
because everybody wants Omaha’s
show to be a good one. Here’s luok
to Bryan as a showman and to
Omaha’s exposition as a show.
Although A. E. Cady was defeat
ed, he made a gallant raoe. He ran
ahead of his ticket in nearly every
county in the district, and had it
not been for the fusion of the oppo
sition he would have been elected.
But Mr. Cady is too able a man to
remain in private life, and we believe
that he will yet be heard in the
halls of congress fighting for the
peoples’ interests.
Tn severe storm that passed
through Nebraska on Tuesday, Nov.
8, in the shape of the fusiouist vote,
has passed partly away. The western
Elkhom valley has two beacon lights
in the wilderness to illuminate the
pathway of republicanism. Brcwn
and Book counties gave a republi
can majority for all candidates.
The people there ought to be happy.
And in Boyd county the republicans
elected county attorney and super
intendent, the only county officers
an the ticket In Holt county
wall, we elected a supervisor, and
probably a road overseer or two.
Sven for these small favors we are
thankful
YOU CANT WAIT LONGER!
This cold weather reminds you that you must in
vest in more winter goods, to protect your health and
make you comfortable, and the question arises: Where
can you buy to the best advantage? Of course the
catalogues from large city houses quote very low
prices on some things, but when you get them you
find the quality is in proportion to the price, and you
find they were not so cheap as you imagined after all,
and besides they don’t fit very well, but it is too much
trouble and expense to send them back so you make
the best of it and say nothing. Look over this list of
bargains and we feel sure you can find as good goods
for the money at our store as you can anywhere.

AS TO ABOLISHING THE SUGAR
BOUNTY.
It is always easier to destroy than
to build up. The repeal of the j
i state sugar bounty is being urged
j by the World-Herald,' which assumes
to map out the course of the coming
legislature. The ground upon
■ which this action is demanded is
| political rather than economical. It
j is asserted that the last legislature
| was ruled by the beet sugar lobby,
j and that the bounty on beet sugar
i was voted in spite of the veto of the
■ governor. Governor Holcomb had
! expressed himself favorable to a
sugar bounty as a stimulent to sugar
jbeet culture before he had been
; elected. The governor concurs
' fully with those who believe that
Nebraska can be made the foremost
sugar producing state in America.
|t is merely a question of what
inducements to investors should be
given and to what extent the beet
raiser shall be made to share in the
bounties.
So long as the national govern*

our beautiful line o:

J. P. M
meat paid a bounty on sugar pro
duced in this country as an offset to
the export bounties of European
countries there was no need of a
state bounty. With the national
bounty abolished the existing factor
ies would have been compelled to
dose had not the state bounty been
restored. The fact that no new
factories have been established sihoe
the new law was passed does not
argue against the bounty. Since
1894 financial conditions have been
so unsettled that no capitalist would
venture into any new enterprise, no
matter how profitable or promising.
As a matter of fact the greater
part of bounty earned in Nebraska
the past two years has gone to the
beet growers. The law gives them
a guaranteed price for their beets
without regard to the sugar market.1
Last year’s crop of sugar beets was
defective, while this year it is fully
up to the standard. The result is
that this years crop of beets will
yield on an average $50 an acre |
after paying the cost of production.
Nebraska’s sugar product for 1896
will exceed one million dollars.
The question the legislature should |
consider is not the methods pursued
by the Oxnards in getting the
bounty restored, but whether Ne
braska will gain or lose by a repeal
of the law. It is to the interest of
Nebraska to diversify its crops,
build up its industries and develop
its resources. There is room for
200 beet sugar factories in this state,
and, instead of producing $1,000,
(XX) worth of sugar a year, we can
and should produce $30,000,000
worth- We cannot hope to increase
our sugar beet area unless capital is
brought here to invest in new fac
tories. With confidence entirely
restored, as it soon will be, the Btate
bounty would go far toward bring
ing about this much desired result.
The bounty should, therefore, be

retained, at least until congress shall
either restore the national bounty or
place a protective duty on sugar.
Even then it might be advisable to
retain the state bounty so far as it
applies to new factories, with Buch
safe-guards as will protect the farm
ers and make them share its benefits.

The Bimetallic Union has endorsed
Bryan’s nomination of himself as the
silver candidate in 1900. Unless
some wise men are away off tho
silver question will not again be a
national issue.
Who will be the members of the
cabinet doesn’t specially matter, so
long as it is known that they will all
be men pledged to carry out the re
publican policy, in accordance with
the will of the people.
Thin, Pale
Children
One satisfaction in giving
Scott's Emulsion to children is
they never object to it. The
fact is, they soon become fond
of it* Another satisfaction is
because it will make them
plump, and give them growth
and prosperity. It should he
given to all children who are
too thin, or too pale. It does
not make them over-fat; but
plump.
It strengthens the digestive
organs and the nerves, and fur
nishes material for rich blood.
