France.has taken a mighty long stride in the right direction by pro hibiting bull lights. The republican state ticket is a winner. There is not a bad spot from top 4o bottom. -- An increase of 125 per cent in the value of .our live stock is good enough for .Nebraskans. -►<«. -- Judging .of the situation at this distance, the old world is a good place to keep away from. -. »«»■...--— The Chicago News tkinks there is no danger of a corn famine as long as it is. possible to raise several achers to the foot. ----— Deuel county has just had a post* office established which is called Dewey. Another Btar to the crown of glory and fame for the great admiral. ...■ ■ . If the conclusion be foregone in reference to the presidency, the re publican “slate makers” have not scheduled a candidate for the vice presidency, -- Regardless of the thousands of living examples of disgraced and ruined lives, men will risk the dan gerous experiment of enriching themselves by fraud. -►«**-*— It is not a commendable way to make activity in business, but the South African war has put many a dollar into thb hands of American beef and perk raisers. -- The Frontier makes the sensation al prediction that tbe republican convention at Philadelphia next Tuesday will nominate William Mc Kinley for president. ..... . ■ General Barry for congressman and Editor Eves for private secre tary doesn’t seem to be a Btrong enough combination to be of mnch force in populist politics of the Sixth district. After all it doesn’t make muck difference which of the fusion aspir ants for congress gets the nomina tion in this district. The result will be the same—a rousing majority at the polls for Judge Kinkaid. -- The Independent is beginning to hedge already. It takes back a good share of what it said about Foynter and Neville. The Independent simply puffed of a little surplus wind. It is ready to support any thing the fusionists put up. Omaha Bee: One of the leading papers in Havana, commenting upon the postal frauds, points out the fact that rascals are to be found in j every country, but also calls atten *.'v tion to the difference between Spain and the United States in dealing * with them. One protected and con tinned to honor them, while the other proceeds to make them dis gorge and sets the machinery of the . law at work to punish them. , Settle mienfc'day is 'not 'likely to1 bo one of -unalloyed pleasure for the men who 'thought it would -be a good thing -to enriOh themselves at the expense of the'Cubans. I — j Holt county populists want some thing overy year. This year they chavo asked that S. B. Howard of 'this city be nominated for state treasurer. Nebraska fusionists could do a whole lot worse than nominate Mr. Howard. Our gentle, -refined and esteemed friend Mr. Eves is growing more and more disconsolate every day as the Barry congressonal boom fades into a whisper and iBro. Eves’ aspir ations to become a; private secretary also are about to'be shattered. .Its a dark day when Col. Bryan cati?t see something to turn to popo cratic profit—or -make an effort at least. His endeavors to make “a democratic meeting” of the Omaha iBoer reception made him the most [ridiculous figure of the season. -- Poor Mr. Eves! .After all his devoted labor to the .cause of fusion the pops of this district are up in arms against his preferred and non assessable candidate for congress. The ihunry populist brave of Holt county doesn’t wield ,n *very large chunk of influence with [his tribe. Independent: Malice, acrimony and jealousy are a dangerous trio which The Frontier wild ithis week commend to the Advocate <os the key to success. The Independent needn’t be alarmed that anybody will ever be jealous over anything that comes from its shop. -- Editor Rosewater's Bee Publish ing company got out of the hands of the supreme court with a fine of only $500 and costs, while Mr. Rosewater personally is not out of the woods yet. The contempt action against him individually will be tried at the next Bitting of the court. It is hoped Nebraska publishers who show gross disregard for journalistic ethics and open insult to dignitaries may now comprehend that they have no rights but suoh as are common to oil, and profit by this incident. - Why is not the enemy making political capital out of the labor strikes ? Because there is no capital in it. The contention of the strikers is not for higher wages, but rather over tho right of the employer to say who shall and who shall not per form the work of his establishment or railroad. The workers are not satisfied with paying positions; they want absolute control of the works. How different the strikes of today from those‘of the riots and troubled times of Mr. Cleveland, when the Wilson tariff and democratic misrule reduced tho salaried workers to beggarly wages. -- “Arouse the Christian world im mediately to our peril. Should this arrive too late, avenge us.” This is the word that comes from Christian missionaries at Pekin, China, whose lives are in peril at the hands of the Boxers, a Chinese so ciety for the extermination of Chris tians. The last clause of their ap peal, while probably finding ready response in the Christian world, is a long ways from the teachings of the great founder of Christianity, who at Gethseraane bade the im petous disciple put up his sword and on the cross prayed, “Father, for give them, for they know not what they do.” Holt county prohibitionists come to the front with a candidate for county attorney, Mrs. Taylor of this city. This indicates that the pro hibitionists still entertain forlorn hopes of acheiving victory, which, in the face of the fairly good showing at last fall’s election, is more pro nounced than for a number of years. Perhaps the prohibitionists figure that as but one county officer is to be elected this fall an amalgam ation of their forces in one grand effort will give them a better show for success. Now if the republicans could be induced to indorse Mrs. Taylor the pops would be jumping sideways. Nebraska’s Live Stock. Jan. 1, 1805.

The total amount of money in cir culation has increased by 182 per cent in the last thirty years, and the deposits in savings banks by 327 per cent. Exports of agricultural products have increased 117 per cent in the last thirty years. Who says the foreign market is of no value to the farmer? Cotton, provisions and mineral oils show larger export values during the ten months of this fiscal year end ing April 30th last than at any time since 1892. In 1895 we could’nt afford to buy even cheap foreign goods, and the democratic revenue, under its low tariff only amounted to $131,818,530. Last year the republican protective tariff realized $200,128,481. The prosecution of Neleey and his associates for the Cuban postal frauds is being vigorously continued by the administration, and will not cease till sentence has been pro nounced on the guilty. The republican party has persist ently endeavored to strengthen and upbuild the American Navy. The democratic party has just as per sistently opposed such a policy at •every possible opportunity. The people of the United States lhave tired of paying foreign steam ships $200,000,000 each year for carrying our imports and exports, A bill to put an end to that is pend ing in Congress and will be passed at the next session. There will be no campaign “issue,” in the sense in which that word is generally accepted, on the shipping question during the comiug cam paign. The American people are unanimous in behalf of effective leg islation, and Congress is pledged to enact it at the short session. The record of president McKin ley’s first term will not be complete until provision has been made for the upbuilding of our merchant ma rine in the foreign trade, a question to which Congress will give its at tention as soon as the session begins next December. Of the four reports on the ship ping bill filed in Congress during the session just closed, each one spe cifically declared against the free American registry of foreign-built ships. The free ship proposition, so far as the United States is concerned is as dead as Pharaoh. The ways and means committee very properly sat down upon Repre sentative Richardson’s (democrat) proposition to admit sugar and mo lasses free of duty from Cuba snd Porto Rico. Its effect would have been to make s present of $14, 000, 000 to the sugar trust. Since 1870, the population of the United States has increased 100 per cent and the production of cotton 300 per cent. With 200 per cent more increase in production than in population, the decrease in price has been less than 100 per cent, and the quantity used by American mills has increased 300 per cent. This indicates the growth and value of the home mar ket. During thirty-four years of free trade, the English savings banks in creased their deposits by $320,000, 000. Daring thirty-three years of protection in the United States (1860 to 1803) deposits in our savings banks increased by $1,635,873,403, and down to 1899 they had increas ed by $2,225,000,000, including the three Wilson biil free trade years, when money was withdrawn from the savings bank. Young W. li. Hearst is developing bis political aspirations in the Dem ocratic party. It has long been his fond ambition that his late father’s Senatorial toga should fall upon his own shoulders. In New York he has many times been flattered with the prospect of a nomination for governor of that State, and it has even been hinted that be may be the vice-presidential running mate of Mr. Bryan, ou the democratic ticket. Lincoln Journal: Crop condi tions in tbe northwest are exceed ingly peculiar. Opinion k divided as to the outcome, but tbe best farmers seem to believe that tbe states of Minnesota, North and South Dakota cannot produce more than half a crop of wheat. The rain that was needed during the germin ation of the seed was denied. In stead of sending up several sturdy blades, the seed as a rule sent up only one, and this is not in the best condition. Unless rain comes soon the crop will be virtually destroyed over many areas. Scattered showers have relieved the tension iu many districts, but no general and soaking raio has fallen for a long time, and the outlook is daily becoming more grave. Pieace Call: Populist papers of the fusion brand do not publish the platform adopted at Sioux Falls in big Percheon type at the head of their editorial column as they did the one several years ugo that de clared this “nation standing on the verge of moral, financial and mater ial ruin.” In fact their platform this year contains a valuable admis sion, namely, the existence of a mag nificent era of prosperity—a pros perity that is benefitting all the people! How ridiculoue their plat forms of the past now sound, and we venture to say that in a few years their present howl about octo puses, standing army and imperial ism will look and sound as ridicu lous as their Omaha declarations in 1892, when they solemnly declared that they had met in the midst of a nation brought to the verge of mor al, political and material ruin.” CASTORIA. Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought THRIFT OF A CLERGYMAN. Letters Whose Becks He Used for Copy Made AmuUng Reading. Habits of thrift are generally com mendable, but sometimes they give cause for amusement without the per son practicing them being aware of it. This was the case recently with a well known clergyman, whose church is one of the most flourishing of its denomi nation in the city. This clergyman re ceives a salary of ?6,000 a year and has in addition a comfortable income of his own. He is a liberal giver to many charities, lives in a handsome brown-stone house, and apparently has less reason for economy than the average citizen, yet he has one habit— perhaps better, one idiosyncrasy—that might well be taken as an indication of poverty by those who did not know the clergyman. With Inborn Scotch thrift the minister makes use of the blank side of letters he receives when they are written “on one side only." He was recently asked to prepare an article for a magazine. In due time the manuscript reached the editor, each page of it written on the back of an old letter, and it was only too evident that he had paid no attention to whether or not the letters were of a personal character. The letters fur nished a rather curious commentary on the sort of letters a metropolitan clergyman receive. Among them were: A notice from an insurance company that his policy had lapsed owing to the non-payment of $156 premium. A note from the general passenger agent of a railway refusing his request that a pass from New York to Chicago be given to a poer brother in the min istry. An appeal from a poor widow for money to pay her rent and keep her from being dispossessed. A letter from a broker, who was one of his con gregation, advising him to Invest in a certain stock, as it was certain to be "a good thing.” A criticism of one of his sermons from one of the pillars of the church. A receipt showing that he had paid for the license of his dog. —New York Herald. 1 sell the J. I.
