Democrats have a record they never mention. ---- The democrats say if McKinley pulls throngh Rosevelt will do it. Well, if Bryan does Stevenson won’t be responsible. «— .MfM The India dronth has been broken by heavy rains, crops are promising and the people of that distressed land look np with glad hearts. The democrats point with pride to the party’s record in the days of Jackson, but a painful silence streches across the years since then. H. G. Stewart of Crawford, one of the fathers of populism in Nebraska, has been nominated by the mid readers as their candidate for con gress in this distriot. Now, hear j the fnsionists howl traitor. -- ». The drivelling pop statesmen who are denouncing President McKinley are playing into the hands of the New York Tammany boss, the king of the greatest system of political defilement that ever oursed America. There are many varieties of tiring tilings in this world, bnt that which makes yon feel like lying down to rest is the wise pop who reads the World-Herald and can tell the mul titudes that Bryan is as popular in New York as a bantem hen among a flock of roosters. The silver men of the mountains see that republican prosperity has set the wheels of industry to hum* ming, and they will support Mo* Kinley; that’s business. The pop office holders see that the defeat of fusion means the loss of their jobs, and are howling for Bryan; that’s polities. *' • . •& I The fusionists in the represents J tive district, consisting of the counties of Boyd and Knox, failed to fuse. The Knox county pops had the “brutal” majority—like their Holt county brothers—and gate the pops of Boyd and democrats of both counties the marble heart. Both factions have nominated can didates and are now swearing ven gence on each other. -- j This is what the esteemed Inde pendent has to say of Congress man Neville’s renomination: The mid-road populists of the Sixth district held a convention at Broken Bow last Friday and nom inated H. G. Stewart of Dawes county candidate for congress. Hon. M. W. Howard cf Albama was pres ent and appealed to the convention in strong terms to abide by old time populism. Just what bearing the mid-road movement will have on the election this fall cannot be safely estimated. Although the movement is perhaps not strong enough to determine the result, it represents a growing sentiment and shows that a permanent split exists in the once united populist party. ---- The recent oontest in the Omaha primaries shows that Editor Rose water is the most popular man in the republican party of Omaha. The expression of sentiment was very pronounoed in favor of Mr. Rose water for United States senator. While this comes a long way from settling the choice for senator with Nebraska republicans, it is a strong point gained by Mr. Rosewater. What demands the attention of republicans at present is the state legislature. Republicans of this county and senatorial district have set a good example by the selection of exceptionally good men for the legislature. -«-*•« Young man, you who will cast your fist vote this fall, what has the ! democratic party to offer that you should vote that ticket? In answer ing to yourself the question go first to the record of democracy in the United States and study the effect of that party’s policies on the nation from the first democratic adminis tration down to the retirement of Cleveland. If you do this fairly there is no danger but that you will vote right. Study, too, the demo oratio attitude in presidential cam paigns down through the years, observe closely the predictions made of calamities that would befall the nation if republicans were entrusted with the government, mark the re sult as time passes and republican ism controls the government and find if yon can a democratic prophecy fulfilled. Study the propheoies of Mr. Bryan in 1896, who then said that it the gold standard was con tinued prices would just as sure fall as the stone that is thrown into the air. Now, with three years of absolute gold standard, mark the fall of prioes ! Then look back to the republican promises made that same year and in previous cam paigns, note their fulfillment and deoide which party you want to cast your first vote for. Avartlnc u bfllih Grab. The corporation of Glasgow pro poses to Issue half a million sterling of pound notes, and the banking insti tutions of Scotland point out that if the undertaking which has existed among Scotch banks since 184d is once broken down the result will be an in rush of English ban* i Into Glasgow. Edinburgh and othor large cities. Scotch banks have gone Into London and done business there, and English banks would be only to willing to re taliate by opening branches In Scot land. Besides, It is pointed out that the proposal of the corporation of Glasgow Is not sound banking finance, as the corporation binds Itself to hold a gold reserve of only one-quarter of a million, exactly one-half the Issue of notes. In times of dear money and financial distrust the notes might not be readily negotiable, for then the public Instinctively prefers gold.— Robert MacIntyre, in Chicago Reoord. TRUSTS u Roosevelt: Beyond a qnestion the great industrial combination which group in popular parlance under the name of trusts have produced grea‘. and serious evils. There is every reason why we should try to abate these evils and to npake men of wealth, whether they act individually or collectively, bear their full share of the country’s burdens and keep as scrupulously within the bounds of equity and morality as any of their neighbors. STATE PRESS COMMENT. AiDsworth Star-Journal: Judge Kiukaid was in Ainsworth yesterday looking after congressional com mitte work and greeting his many friends, which have no party bounds. He is personally the most popular man in this part of the state. He should from every business point of view be our next congressman. York Republican: And C. J. Smyth’s buncombe suit against the Standard Oil company has been in definitely postponed on account of the non-appearance of witnesses Had SSmmyytthhee been a republi can official every populist paper in Nebraska would be asking how much. As it is none of them will say a word about it. Central City Nonpareil: The Western Nebraska Stoek association has passed a resolution condemning Governor Poynter for pardoning so many of the thieves, to secure the arrest and conviction of whom the association has spent much time and money. Nineteen criminals have been pardoned by Governor Poynter, many without the notice required by law, among them being a number of cattle rustlers. Falls City Journal: The admin istration of the feeble-minded in stitution at Beatrice by the fusion gang is a disgrace to the state. It is supposed to be an asylum where the unfortunates of the state may be oared for kindly, as their case certainly deserves. Never under republican rnle did such disgraceful proceedings take place as has been enacted by Dr. Lang and Governor Poynter. Turn the rascals out. Saint Paul Republican: Another campaign scareorow is exploded. The Anglo-American alliance, ubout which so much has been said, is shot full of holes by Uncle Sam taking sides against Great Britain in the Chinese trouble. Russia and America have, much to the chagrin of John Bull and other European powers, joined hands in an effort to preserve the integrity of the Chinese empire and withdraw the foreign troops as soon a3 possible. It beats all that just about the time the fus ionists get a rattling good bugaboo fixed up something always happens to distroy its usefulness. Fremont Tribune: It is a pro foundly significant fact that the bank deposits of Lincoln, Candid ate Bryan’s home, have increased from $1,245,000 in 1896 to $3,540, 000 at the present time. Nearly this same proportion is maintained in the receipts of the Lincoln post offioe, which afford a good index of the volume of business transacted in that city. These have grown from $76,000 to $135,000 a year, since 1896. Not exactly out of his own mouth, but out of his own town, is Candidate Bryan condemned. Kearney Hub: A suggestion was made at the Grand Army encamp ment at Chicago that a reunion of the blue and gray be arranged for. Nothing could be more appropriate. The bitterness of civil strife has disappeared. Stirring events of the past few years have brought the sons of the north and of the south together in the marching columns of the American army, and the spirit of nationality and union in crystal izing into sentiments of deepest pa triotism. The proposed reunion would be the grandest sight that has been witnessed since the world be gan* HwlthlMt County in United 8t»te*.

A SPECTER HAND. lUmhllnpi of Ghosts Near an English Palace. The ghosts which are said to fre quent the precincts of Hampton Court palace are more or less known by rep utation, but their ramblings have been promiscuous and uncertain. Great in terest in their movements has, how ever, been newly aroused by the strange experience undergone by an artist who, during the past few weeks has been visiting certain rooms of the palace for the purpose of sketching the old Flemish tapestry on the walls. While engaged in the guard watching chamber in broad daylight this gentle Inan, Mr. Haynes of Surbiton, posi tively asserts that a specter hand. White and delicate and richly jtweled, has persistently intruded between him and the tapestry. At first he imagined the disturbing element must be one of the many hands so beauti fully inscribed on the tapestry, but the limb, he says, moved slowly from one stage to another, and pointed downward. Mr. Hayes was much agi tated, and told several friends of this curious visitation. They, not unnat urally, perhaps, advised him to dis miss the subject from his mind and re turn to the chamber and his work. But the hand re-appeared before his start led eyes; and on the last appearance of the phantom the artist made a hur j-ied sketch of the outstretched hand, the rough outline of which depicts a brilliant marquise ring on the fore finger. The effect of these continued visits of the supernatural on Mr. Hayes is very visible; he is unnerved, and he has suspended his sketching. These are the plain facts, but there is, it would seem, a weird and historic connection between this hand and the hand of the queen Catherine Howard, one of the wives of King Henry VIII.— Golden Penny. King’s Flattery of Queen. The King of Sweden has a high opinion of Queen Victoria, as the fol lowing extracts which the Gem of London has secured from his note book will show: “No wonder that the people of Great Britain love and deeply Tespect their Queen! As the King of Sweden, I am a happy and honored man; but so highly and lov ingly do I respect the sovereign of England that I could come down from my position of King, and serve happily, without any feeling of re gret, the Queen of England as a Brit ish anWart.” __ _ .
