This country is the source of supply of wooden ware In general of the en tire civilized world. American brooms are exported to many countries, and broom tuaidles are sent by us to Australia. Wherever churns are used there you will find those of American make. American washtubs go chiefly to the Argentine Republic, South America and the Latin-American coun tries. Meeting in competition, how ever, a galvanized sheet iron article that up to date the American article has not been able to supplant as to washtubs, the whole world is ours. The American output of ice cream freezers is on top throughout the world, wher ever ice, either natural or artificial, is known. Ten chances to one the bulk of the ice cream eaten in Melbourne. Calcutta, or any other city or country, not excepting Europe, is made In American freezers. Take many other of the simple and homely articles of dally or common use, for example clothes pins. No matter where you go you will find that the pins used in banging clothes are made for the most part in the United States. Wooden palls, chopping trays and bowls, fold ing chairs, many different kinds of re frigerators, some of which can be taken apart for transportation, pastry boards, ironing boards, all owe their origin to Yankee invention and thoughtfulness. School slates made in this country, all of which have wooden frames, find a ready sale abroad, but meet with opposition from Germany and England. The American product, however, sells up to the standard of either. It may surprise some people to slates find their way to distant Bur learn that thousands of American mah. The wooden ware of American manufacture having successfully en tered into competition with that of England and Germany on their own soil is now branching out and invading Russia.—Cincinnati Enquirer. A CITY OP BBOOAR8. Wk« CoamUool An Held In Hew York They Are In Krldenoe. "One reason that New York city Is a bad place to hold a eonventlon,” said an up-state political to a New York Sun reporter, "Is that the delegates are exposed to the greatest crowd of beggars that can be gathered any where on earth. I don’t mean profes sional beggars, but their fellow-towns men. There is not a town In the country, and particularly not a town In the state, that hasn’t sent a great many people to New York. Of course a great many of these people hare not succeeded In life here. They welcome a state convention for the reason that it brings to town people they knew at home, and they feel themselves free to go to these people and ask for help. The politicians are easy marks for them, for most of these people have friends or relatives where the politi cians, to whom they apply, live, and if, after they relate pitiful stories, the politician turns them down they go off and write letters to their friends In his town giving him a black eye. ▲ great many of them don’t scruple to lie about him, and what he has done while in the city, with the result that when he gets home he has explana tions to make. I’ve had six people from my town here at the hotel to see me today. Two of them wanted money to get out of the city. When I told them I had no money to spare they demanded railroad passes, and insisted I could get them, because I was in politics. It happens that I can’t The other tour wanted money help. I gave money to three of them, though I hadn’t a cent to spare. I did it to save trouble at home, for If I hadn’t, I knew these people would write home about me. State conventions should never be held in New York city."

Bryan Embraces the Tammany Tiger and Bom Croker to Winking the Other Eye. _ Omaha, Oct. 1.—Governor Poynter and the fusion newspapers, as well as all of the fusion leaders, are painfully silent on the report that at the end of Poynter's term there will be a deficit or shortage in the public funds of no less than $100,000. Their answer to this is abuse of Re publicans, but abusing Republicans will hardly satisfy the tax payers, who will have to go into their pockets and pay the bills. The fusionists have boasted of the savings they have made in managing the state institutions. How does this compare with facts? Four years ago they pointed to the reduction in the amount asked of and appropriated by the legislature. The result was that at the end of the first two years there was a deficiency ap proximating nearly $40,000. Two years ago they came to the legislature with a demand for more money than bad ever before been required, with a large deficiency and any number of unpaid claims. The legislature two years ago, not only made a large de ficiency appropriation, but appropri ated more than $2,000,000 for the two years ending in 1001. All this has been squandered and it will require $100, 000 more to pay unpaid bills and labor claims. The shortage In the penitentiary fund alone will amount to about $30, 000. There are at least 11 Institutions that will come in with shortages rang ing all the way from $3,000 to $10,000, and in some Instances the amount will be even larger. This amount added to the amoiint Ap propriated will run the expense ot maintaining these institutions to n higher figure than has ever before been reached in the history of the state. These statements are based, not upon observation alone, but upon the show ing made by the official records in the auditor’s e*3ce at Lincoln. It Is useless, therefore, for the fu sion leaders to deny them, for two rea sons: First, because they are abso lutely true and substantiated by the official records; and, secondly, because it Is only a few months until the legis lature meets and then all the facts will have to come out. When the legisla ture meets and the various institu tions make their wants known, when the request for a deficiency appropri ation of at least $100,000 is made, as it surely will be, perhaps those who may doubt the truthfulness of the statements now will be fully con vinced of 1* then. SADLY INCOMPETENT. As an executive officer Governor Poynter is notoriously Incompetent. This fact so openly manifests itself that it is hardly necessary to call at tention to It. Aside from extrava gance, it is a fact patent to everyone that in the exercise of executive au thority he baa been both wetfcAand vacillating. Every time he hahiechad occasion to exercise this prerogg But he has evinced pitiable weaknessil^mwit tentlon has been called to and malfeasance on the part3** 4B9*ie of his appointees, but In eac^inst^jpe he has signally failed to appl$r the'Jjv ful remedy. The manner in which he handled the management of the Insti tute for the Feeble Minded Youth at Beatrice has become almost a public scandal. His appointees have learned that, no matter how they may violate the law, all they have got to do to keep from being removed by the gov ernor Is to show fight and he will weaken. This accounts for the con tinuous turmoil and dash between the governor and his appointees ever since he assumed the executive chair. Such conditions as these must of ne cessity result in the demoralization of the public service. As the head of a family and as the head of a business establishment must, when the occasion requires, be resolute, so, too, the head of a state government must bo. Va cillation in any position in life where business customs, where law or where organized society requires resolution, must ultimately be attended by results inimical to the individual and public alike. Nebraska Is a large state with large business interests. The chief executive not only has supervisory control over the expenditure of mil lions of dollars of the people’s money, but he is entrusted with the respon sibility of executing all laws on the statute books. The time may never come when vacillation on the part of the executive might endanger life and property, thus this, even in the best regulated communities, is a danger al ways to be reckoned with. But the time is always at hand, in the manage ment of domestic affairs, when weak ness of this character means corrup tion on one band and Increased ex pense to the taxpayers on the other. That this deduction is logical is proven by results attained under the Poynter administration. DISTORTING FACTS. It remained for Mr. Bryan to at tempt to make political capital out of the strike of working men In the corl regions. Everybody else knows it to be a result of a difference of opinion between the employers and their em ployes, not over a reduction in wages, but over an increase in wages, a ques tion with which politics hag nothing to do. If Mr. Bryan would only atop and think for a moment he would ' readily realize the folly of his deduc* tions. In the first place workmen can not strike unless they ore at work. In the second place a strike that Is due to a demand for more wages simply means that times are good asd that workmen want what they think Us their share of prosperity. Then, too, on the subject of strikes Bfr. Bryan and his party should go a little slow. Under Democratic rule, from 1892 to 1896, 282,000 laborers went on a strike against a reduction In wages. More than 300,000 were thrown out of employment without any wages through the operation of the Wilson law—a Democratic free trade that closed more than half the facto ries in the United States and was an Incumbrance on every industrial en terprise and domestic industry. It is well remembered that in the large cities free soup houses had to be maintained to alleviate the suffering of the masses. Many citizens of Ne braska will recall that in the city of Omaha a place known as Rescue hall, a large building on Douglas street, was maintained by charity and was each day and night called upon to feed and shelter hundreds of idle people from the storm and cold, all willing to work but none able to find employment. These were Democratic days. Bryan may have forgotten them, but there are thousands of others who were idle then and are at work at good wages now who have not and never will. The impression made upon them was one they will ever remember. What is true of Omaha is true of all the large cities, especially those cities whose popula tion is largely employed in manufac turing industries and which felt the full force of the terrible suffering and distress at that time. It will go into history that under the McKinley administration not one of the 10,000,000 wage earners of this country went on a strike against a re duction in wages. There have been very few strikes In the last four years, and those that have occurred have been caused, if over a dispute about wages, not by a decrease, but as the result of a demand for an Increase. Mr. Bryan’s solicitude for labor, while advocating free trade and spu rious money—both fatal to the welfare of the artisan—brings the sublime and the ridiculous into very close contact. CAVORTING WITH TAMMANY HALL. In a public speech Boss Croker of Tammany Hall stated that it is the intention of Tammany Hall to give Bryan on h's forthcoming visit to New York "the greatest reception ever given a presidential candidate.” This is a big contract Tammany Hall has taken, but it ought to be equal to the occasion. It has stolen enough from the people of New York City in the many years it has had its tentacles fastened upon them to pay for most anything. At the end of its many years of existence it enjoys the unen viable distinction of being the most Iniquitous and corrupt organization of its kind the world has ever known. For years it has been a mentor of pub lic thieves and a czar in New York politics. It has existed on the spoils of office from the date of its birth. The story of the “Forty Thieves” is, with the exception of a numerical discrep ancy, a true history of Tammany Hall. Richard Croker, chief of Tammany Hall, is as imperious in Democratic politics in the Empire State as the czar of Russia is in the government of the Russian empire. His edict is law and his command and orders are as exact ing of obedience as any Imperial decree could possibly be. When Tammany Hall speaks New York Democracy bends the knee. Bryan and Tammany Hall! What a theme for contemplation out here in Nebraska! A nice picture, isn’t it for "reformers” to look upon? The Tam many tiger snarled and snapped at Grover Cleveland because that gentle man refused to be dictated to and in sisted, even in politics, on his right to choose his associates. But it has finally succeeded in luring the “boy orator" into Its den. Cleveland did a few things for which he deserves to be remembered, and one of these was when Tammany Hall demanded as a price for its support all the appointive offices in that state, when he boldly declared that “I’ll be doubly damned if I’ll do it.” Whether he meant that the public would so treat him or meant that he would not make such a per sonal sacrifice has never been ex piainea. So it is today. If Tammany is for Bryan it is simply a question of spoils. It exists on spoliation, it lives for it. it has no other or higher object in pol itics. That has been its price for sup port in the past and it is its price now. It is but consistent with historical facts to assume that the bargain has been made. When Tammany shouts it is when there is plenty of provender in sight, plenty of hay in the manger. But how will Mr. Bryan’s Nebraska constituents look at it? Will they make room in their affection for that hydra-heade^ monster, Tammany Hall? Will they follow Bryan in mak ing a truce with the foulest beast that ever strode tlie arena of politics, the Tammany t ger? Will they join him in a compromise with what for years has been known as a menacing evil? Will they uphold a man who reforms by going over to the enemy? The moun tain didn’t come to Mohammed and it is just as certain that Tammany Hall didn’t come to Bryan. It was only a few weeks ago that David B. Hill, in speaking of Tam many, said it was “a monster of igno rance, tyraany and persecution.” This is the same Tammany that, ac cording to Crpfcer, is going to give Bryan the *‘greate5Qte»DtiQM ever gl ren\#^rfeaidanUal wfcalflfflH P.

Announcements of these comparatively Worthless reprints are very misleading: for instance, they are advertised to be the substantial equivalent of a higher-priced book, when in reality, so far as wc know and believe, they are all, from A to Z, Reprint Dictionaries, phototype copies of a book of over fifty years ago, which in its day was sold for about 15.00, and which was much superior in paper, print, and binding to these imitations, Deing then a work of some merit instead of one Long Since Obsolete. The supplement of 10,000 so-called “new words,” which some of these books are adver tised to contain, was compiled by a gentle man who died over forty years ago, and was published before his death. Other minor additions are probably of more or less value. The Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary pub lished by our house is the only meritorious one of that name familiar to this generation.
