a population of 1,008,575, an in
crease of over 30 per cent, in the

people are mad because there are

Ont of forty-five states in tho
union today, thirteen comprised the
original United States. The other
thirty-two have been added on from
time to time. If it was thought ad
visable, and time has proven that it
was, to tack on chunks of territory
in the past, where is the wrong to
day? __ _
' The Plain-Dealer with the popu
list ticket at the masthead reveals its
true politics in just three words at
the head of its editorial page, “A
democratic year.” And it is just
such detestible hypocrites as the
Plain-Dealer that are slandering the
remnant of populism, the so-called
mid-roaders.
-
Among the many bad things
recorded in history against Great
Britain, the record of her dealings
with the people of South Africa
stands out like an uloer on a deper- -
ous skin. A people foreign in
languague, foreign in habit, foreign
in pursuit and desire, have been
robbed of their land, their govern
ment, their liberty, and a foreign
monarch and a foreign language im
posed upon them.

Another Sore Breeder.
• Oar turbulent friends the popu
lists are stirring up the dry and
> wet bones in great shape. The
battle scared veterans of the stormy
• days of populism in Holt are one
• by one being laid away by the pow
ers that bo. Every time a pop con
: vention adjourns in O’Neill you can
see a broken hearted statesman re
treating from the court house on the
hill, his irongrey locks waving with
the wind and tears in his lists and
eyes doubled up, while his sad voice
pronounces execrations against the
base ingrates who turned him
down.
The populist supervisor conven
tion last Saturday created more grief.
John Coffey, who is serving a term
on the county board and confidently
expected and earnestly desired an
other, was shown the marble heart
and the nomination given to John
P. Sullivan. It was a sort of a case
of young bucks going into the con
vention and skinning the older and
wiser heads regardless of the calam
ity it will bring upon their party.
Sullivan is an easy victim and Marsh
will snow him under ten thousand
fathoms.
The populists may think they are
doing some smart things, but the
treatment accorded some of the
strongest populist advocates has en
gendered feelings that bodes no
good to the cause.
-*--«•«-»
QLynch Sun: At the senatorial
convention, held at O’Neill last Sat
urday, Frank Campbell was nomi
nated by the independents and en
dorsed by the democrats as their
candidate for senator from this dis
trict.
Now there’s populist gall for you.
Prank Campbell was nominated by
the democrats before the pop con
vention was held. When the pOp con
vention convened and the Holt
county delegation, with a majority
of one vote over the delegates from
the other three counties, sprung an
indorsement of the democratic nom
inee, the delegates from every coun
ty but Holt walked out, formed a
bolters’ convention and nominated
U. F. Smith of Ewing. And this
is the way Mr. Campbell “was nom
mated by the independents and en
dorsed by the democrats.”
Russia announces that she has no
designs on Chinese territory. This
statement comes in 'connection with
a hint at the program of the powers
in the future in China. It seems to
be the intention to withdraw foreign
troops from China as soon as pos
sible. There seems, however, to be
some difficulty in getting out. The
sottling of accounts is to be done by
a commission composed of represent
atives of each nation, and the for
eign troops will remain ‘in the em
pire until soverign authority is re
stored—that is, the Chinese govern
ment restored to full authority—
and the differences' patched up.
While the situation yet requires
delicacy and wisdom, there is a
much brighter outlook ahead.
Ia frightful double column edi
torials the Omaha World-Herald
has made a sublime ass of itself
over an unknown and erstwhile un
heard of sheet, the Des Moines
Globe, and the World-Herald has
been copiously aped by the fusion
yellow journals of the state. The
burden of the fusion mess is that
the Globe is an administration organ
and a lot of stuff is quoted from it
that could never be uttered by a
sane republican. Now the Globe
comes out and says it is not an ad
ministration organ, is not in the
confidence of the republicans and
that in 1890 it supported Mr.
Bryan. If all the lies started by
the tusionists are run down, people
will be kept busy till election.
Madison Star: Teddy thinks the
people who fail to elect him are
fools, while Dietrich says voters
who vote any but the republican
ticket are lunatics. Yet they are
both working hard to get these
same fools and lunatics to vote for
them.
Teddy and Dietrich say no such a
thing. They do trace down the
democratic history with convincing
accuracy and show otearly the folly
of a departure from republican ad
ministration. The Star, like the
fusionists in general, spreads a lie
before its readers in lieu of an
answer to the unadulterated facts
ltoosevelt is so bumping the demo
cratic candidate with.
Mary Ellen Lease, the Kansas
female orator who made the Kansas
plains ring with the silver music
of 10 to 1 in 1890, has renounced
Bryan and his party; moreover,
she is in the arena for McKinley
and his party and will stump the
populist district of Nebraska this
campaign in behalf of the same.
Whatever it may indicate, the
fact is very apparent that Mr.
Bryan is not the magnet that he
was in 1890. The sheep no longer
know the master’s voice. At Omaha
the other day he was welcomed to
the city by a dozen politicians, a
few women, and a lad who shouted,
“’Rah for McKinley! ”
The democrats, with Jeff Davis
for governor, made a clean sweep in
Arkansas. Doc Mathews made a
vigorous fight for the republican
ticket, but it is like a corporal’s
guard fighting a regiment to go
against democracy in Arkansas.

STATE PRESS COMMENT.
Bradshaw Republican: , Pop
ulism once said that “a railroad
pass is a railroad bribe” but since
Holcomb and Poynter “compro
mised” the matter with the rail
roads, they have altered the plank
and it no longer appears.
Neligh Advocate: The Rock
Island road has placed a ban on
cigarette smokers* and those in its
employ must either quit smoking
them or give up their job. It is a
good idea and a measure that
should be adopted by other roads.
Fillmore Republican: Five hun
dred and forty thousand dollars an
hour, more than $9,000 a minute
or $150 per second is the rate at
which the people have increased
the circulation medium cf the
country ia the last four years, if we
count the actual working day of
eight hours’ duration.
Kearney Hub: Even this early
in the campaign there are many
fusionists who admit that there is
not the possibility of a chance for
the re-election of Governor Poyn
ter, and there are several thousand
populists in the state who will cheer
fully assist in his retirement. A
weak man is sometimes dangerous
and Poynter is recognized as one of
that kind of weak men.
Buffalo County Pilot (pop.):
William Jennings Bryan and Wil
liam V. Allen knew full well four
months ago that if they forced the
nomination of W. A. Poynter as
governor there would be dissention
in the ranks of the fusion forces of
the state, and now they realize what
the outcome will be. No man who
has any respect for the principles
of the populist party and the in
terests [of the state of Nebraska
can find it his duty to vote for Mr.
Poynter. “If we lay down with
the dogs we must expect to get up
with the fleas,” and this is no excep
tion to the rule. Conventions are
supposed to represent the will of
the people and are not designated
to dictate what shall be.
Fremont Tribune: We have it
upon no less trustworthy authority
than the populist Omaha Noncon
formist that the Kansas City con
vention went to Illinois and robbed
a grave yard in order to get a suit
able candidate to put on the tail of
the ticket. We would not feel just
like using that strong language to
express the situation, yet if so good
a populist paper as the Noncon
formist says it is so it must be so.
And the peculiar and uncomfortable
situation is now presented of the
populists themselves appropriating
the work of the “body snatchers,”
for they haye had the corpse put on
their ticket, too. Lordy, iordy, but
the* position of the fusionista is a
pitiable one, and of all the ingred
ients of the political hodgepodge
the populists are the sorryiest spec
tacle. But there are hundreds and
thousands in Nebraska, without
doubt, who do not propose to be
whipsawed any longer for the grat
ification of democratic bosses who
want offioe at any cost.

BE WELL.
Marvelous Cores Effected by Drs.
. Kinslow.
The eve of the twentieth century save
birth to gome of the most wonderful dis
coveries and sciences yet chronicled in
the annals of historical research, but the
greatest of all these discoveries is con
ceded by the most learned and scientific
men of oar time to be the marvelous
healing and curative properties imparted
to mankind by the science of osteopathy.
It is a science that, while based upon
a thorough knowledge of every fiber of
human mechanism and treating wholly
upon the physical and material organ
ism, is startling, marvelous and infalible
in successful results as to approach the
miracles performed by the divine hand
of our Saviour, and may justly be called
a revelation from heaven for the benefit
of sick, suffering and afflicted mankind.
Disease is always the result of mechani
cal injuries, displacements, contraction
or relaxation, interfering with the cir
culation or with the action of some vital
organ which results in all of the many
fatal ailments of the kidneys, liver,
lungs and brain; enlargements, tumors,
goiters, canoer and all morbid growth,
paralysis, general debility and all of
those complications which make martyrs
of women and invalids of so many of
the human race. The varous drugs used
to cleanse and tone op the system and
to stimulate a short lived activity of its
sewerage afford but temporary relief at
best, and unless a natural reserve force
of vitality comes to the sufferer’s relief
the result is a complete colapse.
Osteopathy Cores
the hopeless invalids discharged by ali
other schools as incurables; saint vitus
dance, epilepcy, asthma, bay fever,
rheumatism—which is one of the most
noticable failures of medicine to reach—
catarrh, granulated eyelids of the most
aggravated form, all readily yield to this
science. If you are suffering, let us
cure you.
Examination absolutely free. We are
frank and candid with those consulting
us and will tell you all about yourself,
dingnose your condition and tell you
whether or not you can be cured, and if
you can our price will be found most
reasonable.
It cost you nothing to find out.
Calls made upon requst.
DRS. KINSLOW,
Osteopathic Physicians, O’Neill, Neb.
Norfolk News: "When another
issue is not at hand the fusionists
accuse President McKinley of
almost anything to lit the occasion.
There is one issue, however, on
which they do not dare accuse him
of change of heart and he has that
much advantage of Candidate
Bryan. Mr. McKinley’s life fight,
one might say, has been for a pro
tective tariff to home industries and
he has won out for the question so
often that Mr. Bryan does not dare
oppose him, although he did so
when Cleveland was the democratic
candidate. McKinley’s position is
impregnable, while Bryan switched
from free trade to free silver and
from free silver to anti impenaliasm.
McKinley’s paramount issue has
always been protection.
NEW EXPERIMENT.
RWkel Steel for Kutlwuys to lie Tested
In JPennsylvauia.
Some thirty or forty years ago a
great revolution took place in the
methods of constructing railways. The
process of making steel, invented by
Sir Henry Bessemer, lowered the cost
of that material so far that railway
managers began to see that it was
economical to use steel instead of iror
for their rails. Of course, steel wa:
more expensive at the beginning, but i‘
would last so much longer that 1
would more than pay the difference
An experiment is now being trie ,
which may lead to another importin'
change in railway practice, although
it may never prove so radical an im
provement as the other. The Pennsyl
vania road is now preparing to lay
about 270 tons of nickel steel rails. The
addition of small quantities of other
metal to steel often works marked
changes in its properties. It is not
necessary to remind our readers that
for nearly a score of years past the
armor plate of the best naval vessels
has been made of nickel steel. This
substance contains only about 3 per
cent of nickel, but even so slight a
proportion adds wonderfully to the
hardness of the metal. Whether this
quality will make It much more serv
iceable than ordinary steel for rail
ways Is yet a question. The Pennsyl
vania road Is going to test the matter,
and in the nature of the case it must
require years to obtain a complete and
satisfactory reply. Some partial notion
of the wearing qualities of the new
rails will be obtainable, of course, in
side of a few months; but if the rails
prove to be particularly good it will be
necessary to wait a good while for
them to give out. Nickel steel would
cost appreciably more than common
steel, and it is harder to handle. The
job of drilling holes for fishplates both
ered the manufacturers of these new
rails greatly. But if a marked superi
ority is detected, it will pay to use
them in spite of these drawbacks.
THE REASON WHY
I sell the J. I. Case and Morrison farm imple
ments and the world-famed Plano harvesting
machinery is because of their popularity.
EVERY FARMER KNOWS
That there goods are the best on the market. I
have riding and walking plows, cultivators and
listers, disc harrows, corn planters, end-gate
seeders' and the famous Daim hay goods, and
in fact anything you may need in the line of
farm implements. When a man wants the best
buggy made he goes to....

and gets one of those fine Staver bnggies. This is also
true of wagons. I have the Milburn, Kush ford and Bet
tendorff, any size you want. I also desire to call attention
to the Kaw feed grinders and the old reliable Freeman
windmills, Cypress tanks, etc. When in need of anything
in my line give me a call. I will save you money.
