Omaha, Nebraska, June £1,189V. K. It. 8CHNEIDKK, F.O. IIEl)LUND. Chairman. Secretary. ---- Lieut.

Mow is the time to climb into the band wagon! -* The pops nominated young Kay, not because he was fitted for the office, but because he had made some money with his race horse this jour and would be able to put a good many “plunks” into the cam paign fund. Young Kay was electioneering in this vicinity a couple of days the first of the week and met with such an icy reception that he thinks of giving up the tight iu disgust. Might as w 11 lay down, Johnny, and save time and money. Patrick Hsgarty will le eivo the support of hundreds of citizens, re gardless of ilarty affiliations, for the office of county treasurer. They recognize his eminent fitness for the position and will rally to his sup port in sufficient numbers to give him a good majority. --* - “Kay has the long green,” re marked a prominont pop the other day, and he will use it in the fight. A recommendation of this character will not have much influence with tho enlightened voters of Holt county. They are uot for barter and sale and will vividly impress that fact upon the "gang” next, No vember. Duo Norvail sees the cloud of de feat rapidly descending and is ur gently clamoring for assistance from “de gang.” The latter recognize the mistake they mnde when they placed this unlearned geutlemen upon the ticket for this important position and will let him rush on to defeat witout raising a hand to assist him. Poor Doc! Speaking of Judge Kinkaid’s nomination the Beatrice Express says: “They could not have made a better choice. The judge is a man of wide reputation, and his ability is recognized throughout the state; und there are no spots on his record. He will pnt on a very strong tight, and, although his district is the stronghold of the reformers, there is a good chance that ho will win.” -* -- Iu 1880 the republican congress euacted a law establishing a penalty reaching $5,000, with possible im prisonment of one year, or both, against the members of trusts. In 1804 a democratic congross repealed this law, and gave nothing in its placo that would interfere with trusts as they now exist, It may surprise many people to learn that W. J. Bryan voted for that repeal of the only effective anti-trust law that was ever upon the American stat utes.—Arkansas Republican. ----- A boy addressed a younger com rade oue day recently and asked him if he kuew what “Bryamsm” is. “Yes, you bet,” was the reply. “What is it?” the older lad inquired. “Bryanism is where a man by the grace of a good people is appointed colouel of a regiment gotten up for his especial benefit, aud then deserts it iu time of need iu order that he may use his mouth to howl against that for which he eutered the service. That’s the kiud of ism it is; some would call it traitorism,” said the youngster. Here is some pretty good stuff takeu from the Hardy, (Ark.) Buzz Saw: “Democratic politicians charge that if the Philippine war is not ended by the beginning of the pres idential oampaigu next year that it will result in the defeat of the re publican party. In pursuance of this belief they are doing everything they can do to embarass the admin istration and discouruge the enlist ment of men, that the war may be prolonged. Such action encourages the Filippos, prolongs the war, kills our soldiers and dishonors our nil i tiou. It may not be treason, but in , view of the fact that the only object I to be gained is the offices which the republicans now hold, we will call it manslaughter in the first degree.” j BRYAN FAVORS IMPERIALISM I New York Sun: “William J. i 13rv;m sometimes talks about things ; he does not know, ipakes statements that are not so and suggests policits t* whose simple meaning and obvi otis result he is blind. A case in point wus his recent asseverution that there were more business fail ures and bank failures in the country in the six mouths after McKinley’s election than in any other similar period of time before. Another illustration is his proposition, made in an oratorical burst before the ! democratic state convention of Ne j braska, at Omaha, on Aug. 22, that t ie proper way of ‘limiting trusts’ wjuld be to prohibit any corporation from doing business outside of the state iu which it was organized, save under u license from the federal gov ernment.” Wo have been unable to find a verbatim account of Mr. Bryan’s speech, but the Evening Bee, of Omaha, puts what he said in this way: “Mr. Bryan then paid his respects to the trusts and declared that when a law is passed that will prevent a corporation from doing business out side the state where it is organized whithout a license from the Federal Government, the trusts can be effectually regulated.” The World-Herald, of the same city, suys: “The speaker declared that the trusts could be destroyed when the Federal Congress would decree that uo corporation should do business outsido the state where it was organized, ezoept by securing the license of the Federal Government.” Think a minute, Mr. Bryan! What kind of a government would it be under which no concern could do business outside the state where its chief office was without securing the permission of somebody at the seat of Federal power!1 It would be the greatest scheme of imperialism, the most absolute system of centralized power that the world has ever known. TdE PRESIDENT’S PATRIOTIC WORDS. ((extracts from the address of President Mc Kinley to the 10th Pennsylvania Troops at Pittsburg.) “Our troops represented the courage and conscience, the purpose and patriotism of their country. Whether in Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines, or at home awaiting orders, they did their full duty, and all Bought the post of greatest peril. They never faltered. The Eight Army Corps in the Philippines have made a proud and exceptional re cord. Privileged to be mustered out in April, when the rat ideations of the treaty of peace were exchang ed, they did not claim the privilege —they declined it. They voluntarily remained in the service and declar ed their purpose to stay until their places could be tilled by new levies, and longer if the government needed them. Their service—and they understood it—was not to be in camp or garrison, free from danger but on the battle line, where ex posure aud death confronted them and where both have exacted their victims. “They did not stack arms. They did not run away. They wero not serving the insurgents in the Philip pines or their sympathizers at home. They had no part or patience with the men, few in number happily, who would have rejoiced to have seen them lay down their arms in the presence of an enemy whom they had just emancipated from Spanish rule aud who should have been our lirmest friends. “They furnish an example of de votion and sacrifice which will brigLt en the glorious record of American valor. They have secured not r.loue the gratitude of the government aud the people, but for themselves and their descendants ai imperish able distinction. They may not fully appreciate, aud the country may not, the heroism cf their conduct and its important support to the govern ment. I think I do. and so I am here to express it. “The mighty army of volunteers and regulars, numbering over 250,000, which last \ ear responded to the call of the government with an alacrity without precedent or parallel, by the terms of their enlist ments wero to be mustered out, with ail the regulars above 27,000, when peace with Spaiu was effected. Peace brought us the Philippines, by treaty cession from Spain. The senate of the United States ratitied the treaty. Every step taken was in obediei ce to the requirements of the constitution. It becutue our territory and is ours, ns much as the Louisiana purchase, or Texas, or Alaska. A body of insurgents, in no sense representing the sentiment i of the people of the islands, disput ed our lawful authority, and even before the ratification of the treaty by the American senate, wero attack ing the very forces who fought for and secured their freedom. ‘•This was the situation in April, 1899, tho date of the exchange of the ratifications—with only ‘27,000 regulars subject to the unquestioned direction of the excutive, and they, for tho most part, on duty in Cuba and Porto Rico or invalided at home after their severe campaign in the tropics. Even had they been avail able it would have required months to transport them to the Philippines. Practically a new army had to be created. These loyal volunteers in the Philippines said: ‘We will stay until the government can organize an army at home and transport it to the seat of hostilities.’ “They did stay, cheerfully, un complainingly, patriotically. They suffered and sacrificed, they fought and fell, they drove back and punish ed the rebels who resisted federal authority and who with forces at tacked the sovereignty of tho United States in its newly acquired ter ritory. Without them then nnd there we would have been practically helpless on land, our flag would have had its first stain and the American name its first ignominy. The brilliant victories of the army and navy in the bay and city of Manila would have been won in vain, our obligations to civilization would have remained temporarily unperformed, chaos would have reigned, and whatever government there was would have by the will of one man and not by the consent of the governed. The world will never know tho restraint of our soldiers— their self control under fhe most exasperating conditions. For weeks subjected to the insults and duplicity of the insurgent leaders, they pre served the status quo, remembering that they were under an order from their government to sacredly observe the terms of the protocol in letter and spirit and avoid all conflict ex cept in defense, pending the ne gotiations of the treaty of peace. They were not aggressors. They did not begin hostilities against the insurgents pending the ratification of the treaty of peace in the senate, great as was their justification, be cause their order from Washington forbade it. “I take all the responsibility for that direction. Otis only excut ed the orders of his government, and the soldiers, under great pro vocation to strike back, obeyed Until the treaty was ratified we had no authority beyond Manila City, bay and harbor. We then had no other title to defend, no authority beyond that to maintain. Spain was still in possession of the remainder of the archipelago. Spuin had sued for peace. The truce and treaty were not concluded. “The first blow was struck by the insurgents. Our kindness was re ciprocated with cruelty, our mercy with a Mauser. The flag of truce was invoked only to be dishonored. Our soldiers were shot down when ministering to the wounded Fili pinos. Our humanity was interpret ed as weakness, our forbearance as cowardice. They assailed our sov ereignty, and there will be no use less parley—no pause until the insurrection is supressed and Arncr icau authority acknowledged and established. The misguided fol lowers in rebellion have only our charity and pity. As to the cruel leaders who have neodlessly sacrific J ed the lives of thouands of their I people, at the cost of some of our ! best blood, for the gratification of their own ambitions designs, I will leave to others the ungracious task ' of justification and eulogy.

A druggist in Macon, Ga., says: ** I have sold a large quantity of Mother's Friend, and nave never known an in stance where it has failed to produce the good results claimed for it. All women agree that it makes labor shorter and less painful.” Mother’s Friend is not a chance remedy. Its good effects are readily experienced by all expectant mothers who use it. Years ago it passed the experimental stage. While it always shortens labor and lessens the pains ol delivery, it is also of the greatest benefit during the earlier months of pregnancy. Morning sickness and nervousness are readily overcome, and the liniment relaxes the strained muscles, permitting them to expand without causing distress. Mother’s Friend gives great recuperative power to the mother, and her recovery is sure and rapid. Danger from rising and swelled breasts is done away with completely.
