III. HODGKIN. Chairman. Bn ai stumped Nebraska, or n |K)rtiou of it, for Cleveland in 1892 and said the salvation of the Ameri ohii |>eople was in the adoption of a free trade policy by this govern ment. His candidate was elected and woeful want, starving p< ople and workless meu tilled Lho country. Thousands of fortunes were lost aud all business stagnated. In 1800 he stumped the country for himself and proclaimed to the poor people throughout these United States that unless he was elected and his free Bilver hobby saddled outo the people everything would go to hades, or some other foreign port, and we would all bo subjects for the poor house and a paupers grave. Well, Le was defeated, aud were his pre dictions verified? No! No sooner had that champion of American in dustries, William McKiuley, secured coutrol of the ship of stato than husi ness revived; mouoy circulated once agaiu freely through the channels that kuew it prior to democracy’s i s ‘out to the chair of state aud peace aud plenty was supreme. Now Brian is ngnin stumping the country repairing his fences for the purpose of securing a renomination and, a to be expected, he has a new hobby It is now aui imperialism, an issue that was grasped by him iu the vuin hope that it might possibly bridge the chusm that seperates him from the white house. Vaulting ambition has sounded the political death knell or many a politician and so it will be with Bryan,a leader without a fol lowing. A man who was a false prophet iu ’02 and again in ’90 is not ono that the people have much confidence iu aud Mr. Bryan will awake some morning to a realization of that fact.' -- With a good strong pull together republicans can elect the entire ticket. . -- ' The pops in Ewing township are disgusted with the actions of young Kay, their candidate for clerk of the district conn, aud mtiuy of them claim that Skirving will receive fifty majority in the township. KINKAID’S NOMINATION. Ord Quiz: Tho republicans made no mistake in their choice. Judge Kiukaid is a man mo*t eminently I qualified for the place and will he a credit to the (listrid and the state when ho goes to Washington to rep resent us. Hastings Tribune: I he repot n cans of that district' shott d be cun gratnlated tq»on their good judg ment and excellent, choice ’.is Mr. Kinkaid enjoys the honor of be ng a candidate who is not only well qual ified in evory respect but is most highly esteemed bv all who know him regardless of party politics. Callaway Courier. In nominating Judge Moses P. Kinkaid ft r con gress th< republicans brought out a ■Moses who will lead the people ol the Sixth district out of the popu listic wilderness in which they have been wandering the past eight years. Our Moses, unlike his numesako of old, will uot only catch u glimpse of the promised Itu d, but will land there square on hie feet on Novem ber the seventh. -- WATTERSON’S VIEWS. Tho following is a clipping from a lengthy article published in the Louisville Courier Journal, the load iug democratic newspaper cf the south: “Anti expansion is anti democracy. The democratic party of Jefferson and Jackson was ever the apostle of national expansion. Manifest des tiny was its rallying cry. That idea iH none the less living and vital to day than it was fifty, sixty, eighty years ago. “All these new territorial acquisi tions are with us to Btay. They came to us uubidden. They were sent to us by that mysterious’ power to which we owe all that wo are, all that we have. Who shall say it nay V He that does this—and the more surely if he be a party leader—pro nounces his own political damna tion. “The activities of the Atlantic are being gradually but certaiuly trans ferred to the Pacific. We are there already. Shall we sieze upon the means of confirming our power which God has given us, or shall we let them go, and later on, at infinite cast, be obliged to fight to recover them ? “No party ever threw itself across the pathway of its country’s great ness and glory aud lived to tell the tale, aud no party over can or will or ought.” LUC EN SrEBBINS AGAIN. Lucieu Stebbius is heard from ugaiu. The distinction of being the populist middle of the road con gressman has fallen on William Neville, and there being also a dem ocratic nominee und no chance for himself, he 1ms concluded not to run but to help the campaign along as best he can from the vautage ground of a private citizen. He writes as follows to the North Platte Tele graph. “As we hnve two middle of the road candidates for congress iu the Sixth Congressional district the public will excuse me for not run ning aud making a third candidate from North Platte, aud I will devote my attention to those who are run ning “AI. C. Harrington is the nominee of tho democratic party, the party to which Bryan belougs, aud he cauuot be expected to lay down to a will o-the wisp on a confusion ticket, that Bryan never recognizes except ing for use. Mr. lixriiugron will undoubtedly maiutain his own self respect, and the consideration he owes to the men who nominated him by remaining on the ticket. I “Win. Neville was a gold standard democrat under Mr. Cleveland, and as a reward for his fidelity to his principles Mr. Clevelaud gave him au appointment in the North Platte laud office. This position Mr. Ne ville filled just as long as it lusted. When his term run out Mr. Neville stepped out of the land office iuto the peoples party as district judge, where he was just as good a popu list as he had been a gold staudard democrat.. Out of these two terms of offi e Mr. Neville had drawn $33 000 and blown it in for his own amusement. From that day to this •he hna wanted all the offices he could see mid has telegraphed for all that ho could hear from He went !u the congr ssiounl con veil lion a fusionint., after he got the noiiiii.ntion in l.is conventio.i ho turned middle of thc-roitdnr, he never lets an} thing pass him. He s. nt Harrington word that if lie would la\ down he, Neville, would see to it that Bryan was elecled, but the Harrington people couldn't see anything in that position. “Neville now lays back on his haunches und says that Bryuu has got to see to it that lie is elected or be himself defeated for the presi dency. "suiy wun your party, mr. mir rington. Neville, fusion and Bryuu >vill be defeated. The only thing for a populist to do iu this election is to vote either the democratic or republican ticket. Surely no naan who respects himself can vote for Neville. As tin expert political trader Neville beats Judas Iscariot. Had Neville lived in Judas Iscariot’s time, Judas would never have baeu heard of. Neville would have trad ed Christ for the whole Roman Em pire. ‘•Not any of these fusionists can live without office. Allen must still have office, his office boys and prog eny must have pie. Holcomb wrote a farewell message as long as a pick et rope and us wide as four cow hides, not a word in it that will ever be remembered or repeated. Hol comb must still have office, there is no other man in the state of Nebras ka that can possibly be judge. These reform statesmen they hold on to the teat until they dry up and fall off dead like wood-ticks. The saint ed Edmisten, he traveled a distance equal to one nnd ooe fourth times arouud the world, inspecting coal oil and working politics on rail-passes, but he charged the mileage up to the state and collected the money. Edmisten is re instated as chairman of the peoples’ independent party state committee. He will prepare the corpse and lay it away. “Brother pops, two years ago 1 told you what you were coming to. You then laughed at me, you can now Inugh at yourselves. In the near future I will pour a little more of the oil of consolation into you on the subject of our county ticket.” The office of county clerk is a clerical one nnd should be lilled by a man who writes a legible hand and that man is Lieuteant J. W. Wertz. -- Judge Benson cau read his title clear to the office of county judge. He will make an officer of whom the people cun well feel proud of and oue who will not allow his personal feelings to influence him in deciding a case. -- The insulting slurs and insinu ations cast by the cellar rat at the republican candidates is liable to rebound like a bonerung and smote some of the pop candidates in the solar plexus or some equally as tender portion of their anatomy. “Where is your badge, and why are you not out with the crowd” re marked a promiueut pop last Mon day to a gentleman who in ’03 was a very ardent Bryan shouter. “Mc Kinley is good enough for me” he replied, and the Bryan shouter ducked his head and walked away. There are hundreds of men in Holt county who think the same way and th»y will loyally support the admin istration by voting for Judge Kin kaid and the entire republican tiiket. HICH GRADE HAWAIIAN RqASTEDJjOFFEE «!. A. FOLGER & CO« Importers 8AN FRANCISCO, CAL. THE MADSTONE SELDOM FAILS Wonderful Proper! le t for u AlemplilH l'o Hihsu •». From the fat. J.ou.i 1 o i u -pa < h There Is in the ncu^e of idee. .; It. Beebe of 73 Dunlap street, Aleai. i.->. Tenn., a wonderful inadstcnc, wh.«.h for 75 years has enjojed the reputa tion of performing wonderful cur s of hydrophobia. Mrs. John i-.i:c .u, the sister of Mrs. lLebe, is the o.» e of the stone. It was willed to h.i by her father, a minister in the Chr.s tlan church, to whom it was presented by a poor German woman in his par ish. The pastor made good me of It for more than half a century, in all those years only two persons trea eJ with the stone failed to recover. One of these had let the wound go un attended for over nine days; ike other was a farmer, too busy with his crop to permit of the applications which were considered necessary. Mrs. Shel :on lost her father twenty years ago. -he has used the madstone constantly jince and has never either lost a case or made a charge for treat'ng. People come from far and near to be treated, in many instances dumb brutes that have been bitten by rabid dogs have died, while people bitten by the same dogs have recovered, showing con clusively that the animals were mad. The stone Is broken in several pieces and has something the appearance of a piece of coral. It is porous and absorbs the poison when applied to the wound. It was broken by being gnawed by a valuable dog. The dog was being treated for hydrophobia. He had been bitten and the stone was bound to his wound. He not only gnawed the stone off, but tried to chew it into bits. The stone is applied by being first put in hot water for a few minutes. Then it is taken out and placed, as hot as can be borne, upon the wound. This is repeated hourly for twelve hours. If there is more than one wound the treatment is extended to twenty-four hours. Lottery Scheme for Spain. Under the auspices of the Spanish government a great lottery scheme will be launched in Madrid August 1, the receipts of which, minus the prizes, will be turned over to the government for its most pressing needs. It is thought that by September the sala ries of civil and military servants re cently suspended can then be made good. Circulars are being sent out all over Europe, and it is expected that 600,000,000 pesetas, or about $100, 000,000, will be netted by the govern ment. There are five capital prizes of 600,000 pesetae each. The lottery Is now new in Spain, but Spanish lot tery has never been popular in other states of Europe, investors preferring to take their chances with the Dutch or Prussian lotteries. The Spanish lottery in 1897 brought the treasury 3,000,000 pesetas, in the same year the Portuguese lottery gained 1,750,000 milrels (nearly 82,000,000). The lot tery is authorized in other countries of Europe. In Italy last year the government gained 62,000,000 lire ($12, 400,000), showing that the poor lazza rone was not without his savings. In Holland the ofilcial lotteries gained $300,000; in Denmark the winnings amounted to about half a million more. But the Prussian lottery, which is annually operated under the direct authority of the state, is the most pop ular. There are a number of prizes of 500,000 marks every year, and in 1897 the receipts of the treasurer amounted to over 100,000,000 marks.— New York Times. Mot Infallible. Harriet Martineau, the English au thor, was shrewd and practical, and had what men are pleased to call a “masculine intellect.” But she was not always correct in her deductions, a fact illustrated by the following anecdote, told in her “Memoirs” by Sir Charles Murray, who was then the English con sul-general in Egypt; One afternoon we met at the villa of my old friend, S. W. Larking, on the banks of the Mahamoudieh canal. In the course of our stroll through the garden we came to a small gate, the pattern of which was new to Miss Martineau, who was walking in front. She stopped, and looking at the gate in an attitude of intense admiration, exclaimed: “How truly Oriental! What wonderful taste these easterners have in design!” She went on, and as Larking and I followed through the gate, he whispered to me, “I got it out last week from Birming ham.” Advantage of Delng a Kaloer. “Vaterlandlose Geselin, ’ ’‘fellows without a country,” the phrase used by the kaiser to designate the social dem ocrats a few years ago, has been ad judged libelous by a Prussian court if used by a less exalted person. The phrase was applied in the late elec tion by a conservative candidate to some electors who voted for his Polish opponent, and he has been condemned to pay for it. Life of a Queen Dee. The life of the queen bee i3 from three to four years; that of the drone is not easily estimated, as it die3 from violence, while the worker lives from three to six months. Bees have been known to occupy one hive for 46 con-« secutive seasons. Explosive Power of Water. It has been demonstrated that the explosive power of a sphere of water only one inch in diameter is sufficient to burst a brass vessel having a re sisting power of 27,000 pounds.
