There are several political platforms to be built this year, and the fusion -fences are all down. * On the same theory it maybe argued that the wicked republicans have caused the reoent drop in nails .to cheapen the cost of their struct ’ Exactly three years ago a public Speaker deolared that the'name of Henry M. Teller would outlive the names of any who were in the St. Louis convention, because Teller was firm to principle in going out of the convention. By the irony of fate Henry M. is back in the repub lican party and that “principle” has died with free silver. * Vj V —— — ■1 ■ » «. In the middle centuries the high* est hope of man was to bathe his sword in human blood and thereby tpin from kingly hand the spur and belt of knight If the human race has learned new and darker sins in these latter days the heart responds with gratitude that the great achieve ments of the world are no longer accounted those which slaughter men. ' It is no startling thing that the pop* nlist convention at Sionz Falls light ed uponCoL Brvan and Mr. Towne as a lead team for their bandwagon. Neither is it surprising that the ex cited middle-of-the readers should seleot Barker and Donnelly as presi If dantial candidates. The latter pair, of oourse, can have little or no effect on the political situation. Bryan and Towne will be endorsed by the democrats and a split will occur in that party for the reason that now \ nothing remains for the demooratio convention to do but to endorse the populists. This will set very bad with eastern democrats and mnst re sult in many forsaking the demp catic standard. t-i L ? The gjeatpBt e*ftto$Jhatj.gverJ£yed, with the exception of Edwin S. Eves, said that when the wickedness of the people becomes nnbearable, the Almighty turns the government over to the democrats as a sort, of retribution. This is probably true, as “the powers that be are ordained of God,” and He “causeth prosperity to increase” and “bringeth trouble upon the wicked.” ^ y \ The democratic Boston Herald thinks “it would be easy to name a dozen men who, if the democratic presidential nomination were given to any one of them, would poll more votes by hundreds of thousands than can possible bn obtained by Mr. Bryan.*’ As a bit of advise from a republican, The Frontier would say that the democrats had better put up such a man if they have him. --» --- Resolutions of sympathy for the Boers are. but vain and idle plati tudes. What the Boers need at this juncture, with the mercenary sons of rapine and plunder devoting them and their posessions to the rapacity of hireling cruelity, is substantial aid from some of the big bullies who stand and look on. Ten thousand sets of resolutions stretching across the Atlantic will never purchase liberty. - .—: Fremont Tribune: General Charles H. Grosvenor has given out his first statistical estimate of the next electoral college. He is sup posed to represent the admistration and concedes to the democrats: Ala bama, 11; Arkansas, 8; Colorado, 4; Florida, 4; Georgia, 13; Kentucky, 13; Idaho, 3; Louisiana, 8; Mary land, 8; Mississippi, 0; Missouri, 17; Montana, 3; Nebraska, 8; Nevada, 3; North Carolina, 11; South Carolina, 0; Tennessee, 12; Texas, 15; Utah, 3; Virginia, 12; total, 174 Claims for MoKinley; California, 0; Con necticut, 6; Illinois, 24; Indiana, 15; Iowa, 13; Maine, 0; Massachusetts, 0; Michigan, 14; Minnesota, 4; New York, 30; North Dakota, 3; Ohio, 23; Oregon, 4; Pennsylvania, 32; Rhode Island, 4; South Dakota, 4; Ver mont, 4; Washington, 4; West Virginia, 6; Wisconsin, 12; Wyoming, 3; total, 200. There will be 477 votes in the electoral college, and it will take 224 to elect. He classes Kansas doubtful, and says the Porto Rican tariff is going to help rather than hurt. He is doubt less correct about that. The voters will not fail to appreciate the fact that sinoe the Philippines have come into our possession as the fruits of an inevitable war, the republican party has interposed itself in behalf of the laboring man, cannot fail to have its weight when thrown in the balance. Burwell Tribune: At the repub* lican congressional convention, held one day last week at Kearney, Moses P. Kinkaid, of O’Neill, who was the republican candidate for the same office last fall, was named as the candidate for the party for congress man of the Sixth district. The nomination of Mr. Kinkaid pleases the republicans of Garfield county. Not only does it please the republi cans, nut it pleases the old settlers of whatever political conviction. They have known him for years, know him to be a man of sterling honesty, of good character and a man of extraordinary ability. Many of them though bolding different political opinions, do not hesitate to say so publically. Moses P. Kin kaid is an exceptionally well fitted man to represent every interest of the big Sixth district, and if the voters of the district are wise, they will see that he is given an oppor tuuity to do ao. With several re publican bollots voted blank on con gressman he carried Qarfield county last fall and we believe he will get a better vote this year than he did then. We trust that he will not be ignored in the matter of making a canvass of the district by the state oommittee as he was last year, when he made the fight, singlehanded against “Cyclone” Davis and all the balance of the areated fuglers of the ' calamity cause who visited the state. If the Boers want to come across to Unfle Sam they art #^oome, and if defeat by^e English is to be the signal forstnmigration it looks like idem P«hl will-have'to,pack h» grip' very • soon. To borrow from the great Lord Chatham, if I were a Boer, as I am an * American, while a foreign troop was landed in pay cquntry, I never ,would lay. down my arms, never, never, never. White11 the Bryanized 1 force*' are harping about the conBtitntion fol lowing the flag, they may as well come down to business and face the music republicans are giving. To the millions of toilers in the United States it doesn’t amount to an atom weight whether Puerto Rico and the Philippines are held with or without the constition. What does concern them is sufficient employment at profitable compensation. The his tory of the past eight years has taught these millions of workers and voters a practical lesson that will not need to be repeated during, the present generation. The first thing the voters will consider is, Will it pay to risk a change? -♦—«<»»■ - ■ A Lesson in Bur mess Bank . clearings afford the beBl guide to the volume of business throughout the country. The fol lowing figures arc from Bradstreet’s, 000,000’b omitted: Vear Amt. Year Amt. Year Amt' 1HOO....$60,807 1993_$54,080 1897....$57,086 I60.805 1804.<.. 45,306 1898.... 68,600 1892... 61,902 1896.... 53,028 1899.... 93,503 1891).... 60,942 Avr.. .$39,838..S60.844 $73,029 These figures represent hundreds of millions of dollars. Under the McKinley tariff, in President Haris son’s administration, the average volume of business transacted in the United States was almost sixty bil lion dollars a year. During President Cleveland’s ad ministration it averaged nine billions a year less. In other words there was $3,000,000 less business trans aoted every business day of the year. Under the Dingley tariff and the administrat ion "of President Mc Kinley the average volume of busi ness was twenty-three billions more a year than in the proceeding dem ocratic administration. In other words there has been over $7,000,000 more business trans acted every day during President McKinley’s administration than there was under President Cleve land. Moral: Vote for a continuation of the republican administration. Mr. Towne in 1896. Sioux City Times: The New York Sun has been doing a little digging in its file of the Congres sional Record for the Fifty-fourth congress and has found some utter ances of the Hon. Charles A. Towne which it considers worthy of repeti tion at this time. Here are some of them: I warn gentlemen on this floor— not as a prophet, bat as one who has always lived near the people and by the grace t>f God means to con tinue near the people—our duty must not be neglected, I tell you I know what the people are thinking, and what they are feeling in this year of grace 1800. They know that the constricting gold' standard is existing by the permission and growing at the cost of the manhood and enterprise of the universe, and that the time will come when a stop must be put to it. Mr. Hardy—Will you state what you want the republican party to do? Mr. Towne—Mr. Chairman, it is to the great republican party in suoh a crisis that the people turn with hopefulness, even as in times past when the hour was heavy and the way dark they groped anxiously that they might hnd and clasp with their hands the hands of the republican party, and thus be led again to the heights of peace and along the paths of prosperity. The people did tarn to the repub lican party to solve the problem of 1896, and, though Mr. Towne has evidently lost his faith in that party, there is no reason to believe that they will not turn to the same party for the solution of the problems of 1900.

Price, 23 and 50 cents. P C Corrigan. science of farming during the last few years is one of the best examines of American progressiveness. .jA little I IncideHt'recounted by the ASb+abWfd (Ohio) Sentinel is characteristic. One evening, a short time ago, a society in Jefferson needed a gallon of cream. I The committee called up by telephone the proprietors of a milk farm two miles north of the town, and asked it they could furnish it. The reply was that they could as soon as milking was done. In thirty minutes from ine time the call, was ,n»ade, the. cream was de livered! ' ‘The’ mills had been drawn from the cow, put Into a separator, the cream extracted and sent to town by a man on a bicycle. A few years ago the committee would have had to send a boy in the afternoon, “yesterday’s milk” would have had to be skimmed, and if the. boy had not treed too many chipmunks on the way, he might have got back in time for the festival.

It is not a hill so much as the stump of a hill—what is left of It after ages of denudation; but the special feature of it is that it is almost invari ably covered with a breastwork of bowlders. Tropical torrents have washed away the earth and all the so luble components of the rock,and what is left consists of heaps and lines of de tached masses of sandstone, ironstone or granite. The kopjes are the Boer’s fortifications, and he has any number of them.( The Reformer and the Smoker* A soiled but impulsive reformer once jore down upon a hardened smoker. ‘You are the slave of tobacco," he Bald with more sternness than originality. 'Quite so,” said the smoker, with com mendable patience. “In the same way vou are the slave, for instance, of food ind soap and—” “Nothing of the dnd,” interrupted the reformer, with t wave of his dingy hand. "You have jo right to say that.” “All right,” said .he smoker, succumbing to that tired feeling. “I take back what I said about :he soap.” The United States Minis. There is only one mint—that is in Philadelphia. The present branch mints are in New Orleans and San Francisco. Before the war there were oranch mints at Charlotte, N. C.; Dah ,onega, N. C.; New Orleans and San Francisco, and during the war mints were started at Carson City, Nev., and Dallas City, Oregon. The mints at Charlotte and Dahlonega stopped work n 1861; the mint at Carson City closed n 1865 and that at Dallas City in 1875. Largest Orchards In the JVorl '. Views have been taken of the orch trds of Messrs. Miller and Pancake in the vicinity of Romney, W. Va., for ex hibition at the Paris exposition. These orchards are the largest in the world, :omprising 250,000 peach and plum :rees. They planted 181,000 trees the >ast year and cleared for planting 1,735 teres of timber land. The first season their orchards came into bearing they ihipped 100 car loads of peaches and plums. • Duration of a Wink. A German scientist has gone to some .rouble to calculate the average dura tion of a wink, in order to ascertain lust what the phrase “in the twinkling if an eye” means. He Bays that a wink decuples four- tenths of a second. The lyelld descends in one'-tenth of a sec ond, stays down thirteen-hundredths it a second and rises again in seven •een-hundredths. A Hauser Ballet Wound. The wound inflicted by a Mauser bul .et, the missile mostly used .by the Boers, is quite circular and much smaller than the end of a lead pencil. When a man is hit by one of these >ullets he feels no pain or shock. But i stupid sensation and a strange sing* ,ng in the ears are felt, which render lie majority of soldiers unconscious. Dominlo Cra*y. Two men from neighboring New Jer sey towns met in a domino tournament ast fall, and this contest was followed oy a series of domino games between ;wo teams from the towns, ten play ers being on a side. It is now re jorted that the two towns are domino ;razy. Matches are held every week. Howard for New*.
