D. H. CRONIN, Editor.
By the employment of the,Omaha
gentleman the supervisors hate
admitted that they are incompetent
to perform the duties of their office.
CONOBESSMAN BlLL GbEENE does
not cut much ice in the national
halls of congress, and many of his
admirers in this section of the coun
try are disappointed thereat. Poor
Bill, your days in congress are
numbered.
The Wayne Republican has en
tered on its fifth year and is one of
the most prosperous country papers
in the state. The Republican is
deserving of success as in our
opinion it is the best edited paper
in Northeast Nebraska. This is no
boquet, either.
Down in Olathe, Kansas, at a
mass meeting of the citizens, the
disclosure that ex-Governor John P.
St. John (pronounced Sinjin) bad
signed a whiskey seller's petition for
a license, created a racket that for a
time threatened to become a riot.
The efforts of Mr. Sinjin, otherwise
“St John,” to explain away his sin
were fruitless, and the W. 0. T. U.
and the prohibs cast him forth into
outer darkness. Towards the latter
end of the meeting no less than
three orators were constantly speak
ing at once. It is estimated that the
victim was. asked questions at the
rate of thirty per second, and of
course he was downed.—State Jour
nal
It is a matter of public comment
all over the country that, notwith
standing Senator Windy V. Allen
several days ago attacked Tom
Reed, the czar of the honse, in a
fierce and furions manner on the
floor of his own barnyard, and told
the entire country that he was
“responsible for his statements
there and elsewhere and at any
time,” he is still wandering at large
with his nose unsmashed. Is it
possible that Mr. Reed has not yet
heard of the defiance of this re
nowned defier? Or doesn’t Tom
care a cuss? What are the rules of
etiquette when a bantam crows
through the pioket fence at a game
cock?—State Journal.

To a has up a tree the recent
“expert” examination of the books
in the county treasurer’s office by
State Examiner ArChard has a sing
ular look, and bears a marked
resemblence to the work of the pop
investigating committees that have
tried to make out that every repub
lican official in the state was a
defaulter. The most surprising
feature of his report is, that F. G.
Russell, republican, handled $90,
000 in the four years he was in
office and that his eCthmissions were
only $1378, while B. L. Chambers,
populist, handled $14,000 in the
two years he was in office and his
commissions amounted to $1185, or
within $188 as much as Russell got
If you doubt this statement go to
the clerk’s office and look at Arch
erd’s report end you will probably
agree with us that what is new
needed is an expert that has no
political bias.—Butte Gazette.
Psora throughout Nebraska will
regret that ’Gene Moore has escaped
the penitentiary on a technicality.
He got away with about $26,000,
money paid to him by the insurance
• companies doing business in the
state, and he should suffer for his
crime. As the charge of embezzle
ment of state funds could not be
made to stick, there is probably
some other charge upon which he
can be arraigned before the bar oi
justice and made to do time for hie
illegal and oorropt practices. We
are not a student of Blackstone noi
do we pretend to know much about
law, but we believe that if he were
'§■’ charged and tried with obtaining
money under false pretenses il
§g.: would about hit his case. But ij
the law is such that he caunol
again be tried for the offense il
should be changed. Law is sup
posed to mete out justice and if it is
so that a criminal can escape the
consequences of his acts through a
loop hole or apparent flaw, that
defect should be remedied. It is
only the criminal who seeks the
technical points in law and we
believe that if they were eliminated
the wrong doer would be more apt
to receive his just deserts.
ABOUT PROSPERITY.
An esteemed correspondent re
garding the Northwestern Catholic
as a purveyor of national prosperity,
writes the following inquiries:
“Where now is your prosperity?
Where are the good times that you
have been predicting? Is not all
this talk about good times a will-o
the wisp and a delusion ? If times
have improved where is the evidence
and who are the beneficiaries?”
Some men an so constituted that
they can see a fly on# barn door at
the distance of a mile, but they can
not see the barn; and there are
others so disposed that they could
not admit the existence of dAy in
the light of the noonday sun. There
were men among the crews of
Columbus who wanted to turn back,
after they had seen the land birds
perching on the vessels and could
smell the oders of the orange groves
of San Domingo. Good times and
bad times are relative terms. Times
may be bad in some localities and
good in others. With some men
times are always good, and with
others they are always bad.
Whether the country is prosperous
or ornerwise cannot do determined
by the existing conditions in a par
ticular family or a certain locality;
but the evidence of increasing activ
ity in industry and trade is too pal
pable to be talked down or denied.
For 1807 bank clearings show a
gain of 88,000,000, or about 12 per
oent. over 1807, with the volume of
clearings at present advancing at
still greater rate. Tv' hundred
railroads, representing 150,000 miles
of track, report for 1807 increased
earnings of nearly 860,000,000 over
1806, and in the same period only
eighteen roads, representing 1,550
miles of track, went into the hands
of receivers, against thirty-four roads,
representing 5,500 miles of track,
for the preoeeding year. There
were not only 2,000 less commercial
failures in 1807 than in 1806, but
the aggregate liabilities were 800,.
000,000 less. The total output of
pig iron last year, although the
largest on record for this country,
promises to be exceeded during the
current year, while the demand,
both at home and abroad, for steel
rails, locomotives and other finished
products is steadily widening.
The single weak spot in our
industrial system today is the cotton
industry of New England; but the
cotton mills of the south are running
on full time.
Nor can the American farmer
reasonably complain. He received
for his breadstnffs in 1807 double
the money he received in 1804 or
1005, and nearly 50 per cent more
than he received in 1806. The
value of breadstnffs exported from
the United States in 1804 was $121,
123,377; in 1805, $121,571,555; in
1806, $177,278,405; in 1807, $243,
121,108. In nearly all other articles
of farm produce the exportations for
1807 were far beyond those of pre
ceding years in value, and the
prioes generally higher.
Whether with a sound and honest
system of bimetalism the country
would not be st'll more prosperous
is an open question upon which
good, intelligent and patriotic men
may honestly differ; and whether
our present system of protective
tariff helps or hinders prosperity is
also debatable. But that the con
dition of this country has vastly
improved over the condition of one,
two or four years ago, there can be
no question. That the country is at
last fairly prosperous is a fact,
thank God. Let those who will
trace this blessed condition to
human causes at their leisure. For
Our part we will take it for granted
that bounteous crops and big prices
are the dispensations of God’B grace
and mercy, and are accordingly
thankful and gratified.—North
western Catholic.

Priceless Pain
“ U a prtsc « be placed om psiu, • lMktr’i

either ef her ethar twe children than she did al
together with hsr last, haviug previously used
foar bottles of 1 Mother’s Friend.' It is a blessing
to nay one expecting to become a mother,” says
a customer.
Thus writes Henderaon Dale, Druggist,
ef Csrmi, 111., to the Bradfield Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the propris
t*rs ana manufacturers of “ Mother’s
Friend.” This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines ad
vertised to do unreasonable things, but s
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength aad elasticity
to those parts of woman’s organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth..
The liniment may be naed at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement-. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessens
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin
ishes tbs danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in s con
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

“Just as
Good
as Scott’s and we sell It much
cheaper,” is a statement sometimes
made by the druggist when Scott’s
Emulsion is called for. This shows
that the druggists themselves regard
Scott's
Emulsion
of God-Liver Oil with Hypophos
phHes of Lime and Seda as the
standard, and the purchaser who
desires to procure the “standard*
because he knows it has been of
untold benefit, should not for one
instant think of taking the risk of
l using some untried prep**

Mr. Q. Caillouette, druggist, Beavers

Discovery I owe my life. Was taken
with lagrippe and tried all the
ians for miles about, but was of no
avail and was given up and told 1 could
not live. Having Dr. King's New Dis
covery in my store I sent for a bottle
and began its use and from the first dose
began to get better, and attei using
three bottles was up and about again. It
is worth its weight in gold. We won’t
keep store or house without it.” Get a
