A wild scramble for offloe is now

Acooxdixg to Dun A Co.’a Weekly
Review, the failures of 1890 exceed
ed those of any year except 1893,
the number being 14,890 against
, 18,197 last year, with liabilities of
•bout $225,000,000 against $178,
190,000 last year, an increase in
number of about 12 per cent, and
. in liabilitiea of about 29 per oent

It has been suggested that the
numerous patriots now out of a job
at Lincoln who are anxious to dis
ViV. tinguish themselves politically
should form a Company and go to
Culm There is a chance for them
to earn fame and fortune by joining

comb would be relieved of the

militia to protect the pie counter.

What is a trocha? After a vain
search through an unabridged edi
tion of the Congressional Globe and
Kendall’s Treatise on horse Bpavins,
we were unable to locate the word,
except as it • appears in connection
with General Weyler. Will Doc
Bixby or Walt Mason throw their
poet lariets upon this subject and
give the result to an anxious public.

The holiday week of 1890 will
pass into history unparalled for its
number of suicides all over the
country. The mania had its victims
in all walks of life, and there is
much chance for speculation and
food for reflection foi those people
who delight in studying the occult
and psychical forces which brought
desolation to so many homes.
If the people of this country had
their way about it, war in Cuba
would terminate in speedy freedom
for that people. Grover can yet
win laurels to cover the defects of
his administration by dispatching a
few gun boats and some soldiers to
aid the Cubans in their struggle for
liberty. Such an act would send
the remaining days of his adminis
tration down in a blaze of glory.

Whi* the Short Line iB extended

and it will come with the dawn of
prosperity that will follow in the
wake of McKinley’s inauguration.
-»«•»-,
Eli vis years ago this week
Nebraska experienced just such a
blixxard as we had Monday.
The weather was exceptionally tine
up to New Year’s day, when it took
a sudden change, and for almost two
weeks the railroads were blockaded
and business was at a standstill.
The writer was living at Superior,
and the advent of the big B. and M.
snow plow enthused the people like
a Short Line extension meeting.
Th* big show in the popocratio
tent at Lincoln is now open, and if
the people don’t get “skinned to a
finish” by the fakers who follow that
eirdbs then we will miss oar guess.
Not having “pie” enough to go
round, the thimblerig workers will
be given all possible latitude. It
was a custom with big shows years
ago to have a shrewd deteotive
perched upon the ticket wagon to
look out for suspicions characters
and protect the public, but it would
take a regiment of the national
guard to stop the raid of the hungry
patriots Upon the state house this
winter.
Johm Mobrow has been selected by
the populist supervisors of Holt
county as oounty superintendent
Personally we have nothing against
him but we do not believe he is
qualified to fill the position to which
he has been appointed. He was a
candidate for this office a few years
ago and was defeated by 312 votes,
running 307 behind the head of his
tioket It is evident that the citi
zens of Holt county did not want
him to occupy this exalted position.
But, as he has been a faithful hewer
of stone in the populist ranks they
had to reward him, even if it was
done to the detriment of the public
schools. Such is politics in this
great party of reform and educa
tion ?).
Next Monday the electors in the
several states, who were fortunate
enough to receive a plurality or
majority of the votes cast at the last
election will meet at the state capi
tol of their respective states, and
oast their votes for president Some
ardent admirer of “Billy Boy” will
have an opportunity to get a pull at
the public teat by journeying to
Washington with the vote of
Nebraska. In olden times before
the advent of railroads and their
modern conveniences, this was con
sidered a very laborious task, and
the position of course was not eager
ly sought after. But now, when a
man can board a train and enjoy
nearly all the luxuries of life, the
posish is a very desirable one, and
we presume there will be eight can
didates for the job at Lincoln.
The editor of this family delight
while up at the court house Tuesday
hunting for the elusive news item,
dropped into one of the county offi
ces, which is presided over by a
populist. Seated around the stove
were two or three populist officials
and a few of the faithful followers
of that party engaged in conversa
tion. While there we heard a talk
substantially as follows: “Well,
Bntler will soon be county attorney,
and I will get him to issue a war
rant for you and get you before the
court.” Then one of the populist
officials replied: “Oh, it will be all
right to get Butler to do it, for he
will never be able to get it into
court unless some one helps him.”
What a compliment for a man who
is now county attorney of this coun
ty. And we believe that the man
who made the above remark voted
for him at the last election. What a
great party this is.
J.HK irons-Mississippi exposition
continues to grow in interest to the
people cf Nebraska and will con
tinue to grow as its benefits become
better known. It will be the big*
gest advertisement of Nebraska and
the western states ever given to
draw capitalists and homeseekers to
onr borders. The following excerpt
from the Omaha Bee will give an
idea of the lines on which the state
will profit from the exposition:
“A moderate estimate places the
number of people who will visit the
fair at from 2,000,009 to 8,000,000.
The lowest amonnt which these
people will spend at the exposition
is $10 per capita. That means from
twenty to thirty millions of dollars
of money passing into Nebraska
through the gates of the exposition.
Bat $10 each is a very low estimate.
Thousands will remain throughout
I the fair, each of whom will spend
from $2 to $5 per day, and thous
ands upon thousands will pass
beyond Omaha to the Bookies and
the Pacific coast. It is safe to com
pute that the fair will bring about
the circulation of $100,000,000 in
the trans-Mississippi country, which
will be expended for transportation
in the purchase of supplies and in
permanent investments. Thousands
of people who visit the exposition
will not stop at Omaha, but, having
traveled that far, will venture be
yond and take in such parts of the
country as afford the most attractive
field, measured by the exhibits at
the fair.
“What will Nebraska get out of
it? First and foremost, it will
bring millions of dollars into, the
metropolis that will be paid out to
supply food and drink for man*and
beast Who will feed the multitude?
The people of Nebraska. The
erection of great buildings and the
public improvements in Omaha will
afford employment to thousands of
workingmen, and they in turn will
become profitable consumers of the
produots of the farm, orchard and
garden. By far the greatest and
most lasting benefit will be the
investment of capital in factories
and mills and the advance in prop
erty values that will precede the
holding of the exposition and con
tinue permanently with the tide of
prosperity which will flow in the
wake of the exposition.”
