He olaims there are 25,000,000 tons in sight. The field will be worked. Bourke Gookran is touring the west for the great friend (?) of the poor man. He rides in a special oar that ooeta over $200 a day and carries three body servants. How is that for Linooln simplicity? -, The railroad commission of Min nesota is quite a success. Grain rates have been reduoed to an extent that $400,000,000 a year is dioed ont of the earnings of railroad—in other words, that amount saved to those who “pay the freight” Ord Times: Moses P. Kinkaid, renominated for congress by the republicans of the Sixth district, is a man 'whose lifelong training and experience have eminenty fitted him for the important position he now is a candidate for. Born on a farm, his boyhood years were mostly spent in the cul tivativation of the fields, the harvest ing the corps and other duties of the ragged outdoor life which fit a man for a life of energy and useful ness. His boyhood years Were Bpent in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Illinois; he received an aoademio education, and took select studies in the literary department of a Uni versity; graduated in the law school of the University of Miohigan, and was president of his class in his senior year., In 1882 he was elect ed to the state senate from this district, where he at once took a foremost position among his colleag ues. He was made chairman of the judiciary committee, ‘ and it was his services in this body at the session of 1883 that first gained him his prestige in the state. For thirteen years he was judge of his judical district, winning the respect and confidence of all by his able and impartial discharge of the impor tant duties of that office—and it is said to his oredit that during all these years there was a very small percentage of roversal of his decis ions. He was nominated for con gress by acclamation last fall, and re-nominated by acclamation last Bpring. His long experience in the judiciary, his acquaintance with the needs of his constituents, and his unquestioned ability and business sagacity, make him a valuable man to have m congress, and one who would soon become a leader there. The Sixth district should profit by the expecience of others, and keep such good material in congress. Vote for Moses P. Kinkaid. Waking About in Idleness. Mr. Bryan, in a recent speech, made a remark about the menace to the people of “one thousand troops walking about in idleness.” It was an unwise and heartless remark and loft the speaker in a very vulnerable position. The words were well answered by Gov. Boosvelt at Cheyenne on Monday when he said: “Lawton no longer walks about in idleness; Lisoom and Riley no longer walk about in idleness. Was it idleness when Chaffee, at com mand of the president, marohed his troops forward, refusing to wait longer for the other allied forces, who said they could not advance until they were shamed into advanc ing by his forward movemont? Was it idleness when the boy Titus sprang upon the walls surrounding an immortal despotism, with the flag that was to bring security and liberty to ^the women and children starving and waiting in that dreadful barrier surrounding and protecting the lega tions ? Walking about in idleness! The gallant effort of our men in the Philippines and the death of so many of them it seems to me, might at least spare them the slight and sneer of any of our own people.” ▲ Campaign of Lies. Special dispatch to the Enquirer. Lincoln Neb., September 15.— Patrick Hagerty, of O’Neill, Presi dent of the Elkhorn Valley Bank, an old solider and pioneer of Nebraska, a strong believer in a protective tariff, an uncompromising advocate of the gold standard, has declared his intention of voting for Bryan. In the hard oampaign of 1896 he was President of the McKinley Hobart Club. Hagerty has power ful influnoe in Nebraska, and great pressure was brought to bear to have him return to the fold, but he has one answer for all, saying: “I think more of oountry than party. While I regret to differ with the party I worked with all my life, still oonscienoe and judgment tell me the policy of McKinley means the ultimate destruction of a republican government and I will not cast my vote to destroy it.” The above is taken from the Cin oinatti, O., Enquirer of September 16 and is a sample of the lying work of the Bryan oampaign managers of Nebraska. Mr. Hagerty deoidedly has not “declared his intention of voting for Bryan.” When shown the above clip he was very indig nant, denied it as false and said he “certainly would not vote for Bryan; that no one had ever heard him make any such state ment” He has stated that he was not with the administration on the policy of expansion, but would not vote {or Bryan. Note that it is dated Lincoln and sent away off to Ohio for publica tion. Why not published it in Ne braska ? Why not in the Omaha popocratic organ that gives a half oolumn to every one it hears of who is for Bryan? Because,the lying and cowardly campaign managers at Liuooln—coached by their hench | men in Holt county and elsewhere— I who are attempting to bolster up the frail and declining cause of Bryanism by misrepresentatoin knew it was false as satan. In claiming Mr. Hargerty as a recruit the Bryan forces are simply claiming something they haven’t got and although he may differ with the administration on one or two points, we have authority for saying he is a long way from the Bryan camp. Another lie nailed. Ord Times: Moses P. Kinkaid, the republican candidate for con gress in this district, is in every sense of the term a man of the peo ple. He realizes the fact that he owes his political recognition to the masses rather than to the leaders, and he knows his acquaintances at all times and on all occasions, as well after elections as before. Mr. Kainkaid is just as cordial when not rnnn ing for office as when a candid ate when his interests in the hands of the voter, and is the style of man that makes and holds friends. You will make no mistake by casting your vote for M. P. Kinkaid for congressman. In one of his free silver speeches in 1896 Mr. Bryan said: “If we are defeated in this campaign there is nothing before the people bnt four years of harder times and greater agitation, and then the victory will come.” The “four years of harder times and greater agitation” are now drawing to a olose and no period in the nation’s history has marked the rapid strides and phe nomenal prosperity that have the past four years. The man who made this prophesy is before the people again and in the face of his false predictions has the amazing courage to ask the people to believe him. Imposter! -.- - Don’t be over confident. The battle iB not yet won; it is just be gun. While conditions strongly favor republican victory it can’t be done with folded hands. There is much work yet to be done. The enemy is diligent by day and by night fighting for their very lives. Fellow republicans, you remember the confidence of victory of the party in 1892. You remember that re publicans sat down and waited for the ballots to be cast and counted while the forces of democracy were at work with untiring zeal. You know the result. During the next month republicans must be active and work as though it were a life and death struggle. -»«•»■■«.. Sioux Gity Times: Gen. Coxey is again looking for men. This time he is not planning an excursion to Washington to demand work for the idle masseB. On the contrary he is hunting for the idle masses who want employment and he is unsuc cessful in finding them. Gen. Coxey is building a $250,000 steal mill at Mt. Yernon, O., and can’t get 'help enough to carry on the work with a full force. Incidentally, Gen. Coxey is willing enough to admit that he has been so busy for the past three years that he has had no time for politics, and is scarcely aware that a presidential eleotion is going on. The trust power does not work half the havoc that does the swindle manufacture. Many products are rank swindle. For instance, a pre paration is put upon the market and sold for honey that is actually only 20 per cent, honey. Yet peo ple pay 20 cents a pound for the stuff that comes from New Orleans sugar scrapings at about 2 cents a pound. These inferior products are put up by individuals without cap ital and while they are not stigmatiz ed by the name trust those organiz ed institutions can’t hold a candle to them for imposition on the public. While the trusts exact exorbitant prices they give you grod goods. --- Probably not in the history of strikes in America has there been a time involving so many men when a strike has been conducted so orderly and peaoably as the one now on in Pennsylvania. No disturbance is made, the raeu are behaving themselves as gentlemen and for this reason more than any other the sympathy of the country goes out to them. The strike shows, too, the thoroughness of organization of the miners' union. Notwithstand ing notices have been posted by the operators to the effect that a 10 per cent, raise in wages has been grant ed the miners decline to resume work until the order# is issued by the union convention. The miners are completely organized and re present a power that capital must r oognize. Butte Gazette: Oat at Victor, Colorado, a gaug of Bryan shooters tried to mob Roosevelt, but only succeeded in slightly injuring the gallant and brave Rough Rider, who made his speech just the same. The people who made the assault belong to the party that has con nipton fits over the imaginary wrongs • of blacks three thousand miles away, (but think it all right to disfranchise 4,000,000 of them at home) shed scalding tears for fear the Declaration of Independence and the 4th of July will be abolish ed and this country turned into a monarchy, yet a large Jmajoriiy of them will be secretly pleased at this villainous attempt to throttle free speech. Tested by Trifles. Files are great tests of character, son. A man may he cod as an Iceberg under extraordinary circumstances of danger or times of Intense excitement; he may be calm "when, at. another man’s order he is facing a six-gun bat tery and getting ready to try If he can puBh a bayonet through a cannoneer before the gunner shores eight pounds of assorted ironmongery through him; he may assume command and act no bly and quietly when the ship is sink ing; he may preserve an even mind when the hotel is on fire; he may even speak grammatically when the ghost enters his room at midnight. But let that man upset a very small inkstand, with only very little ink in it, on his desk. He upsets his chair on the of fice cat as he leaps to bis feet with a howl like a wild Indian or a baseball coach; he makes a desperate grab at the inkstand and swoops it half way across the desk before he sweeps it oft into an open drawer full of unan swered letters, then he claws after his papers, and drags them through a lit tle puddle of ink that wasn’t doing a bit of harm before he mopped it zigzag and crooked all over everything with his white handker-^Ief; and, finally, after he has smeared the top of the desk, his hands and his gray panta loons with ink, he discovers that at the first dash he had knocked a much larger bottle of red ink clear oft the desk on to the floor, where it has lain, draining its crimson life away in the very heart of the lightest figure on a blue and white carpet. Then he says things at the flies of life, and won ders why a man always makes an idiot of himself when he upsets a lit tle bottle of Ink. And he may keep on wondering. Because he will never know why. Nobody knows. He Just does it; that is all.—Robert J. Bur dette in Loa Angeles Times. Declaration of Independence* The Washington correspondent of the New York Independent writes: I thought there was one thing in Washington that an Englishman ought to see—namely, the declaration of in dependence. So I took my friend to the state department and showed him that instrument, which, for its better preservation, is now kept in a safa away from the light. So far as its matter and substance are concerned, the instrument will much better bear the light of day than some passed since, but while the body of the text is fairly legible, the names of a large part of them have faded away. Hancock used a great deal of ink to write his name, and must have wielded his quill like a brush, but there is not a trace of his signature now on the paper, and one must go to the facsimile to tell who the signers were. The original draft of the declaration in the handwriting of Jefferson and Franklin is much better preserved than the declaration itself. Where did Jefferson buy his ink? This fading of public documents on account of bad ink has led to the passage by the state of Massachusetts of a law prescribing the use of standard ink for public records, and imposing a fine of ISO in case anj» other ink Is used for such purpose than that prescribed by the secretary of the commonwealth.
