A Whistling People. The natives of Oomera, one of the Canary isles, converse with one an other by whistling on their fingers. It is possible to understand a message a mile off. Each syllable of a word has its own peculiar Bound. Oomera is cut up by a number of deep glens, which are not bridged over, and as it would otherwise be Impossible for the Inhabitants on separate sides of a glen to talk to one another without going a long way round to meet, they have hit upon the whistling device as the best means of communication. Happiness depends very much on the condition of the liver and kidneys. The ills of life make but little impression on those who digeston is good. Yon can regulate your liver sod kiddeys with Herbine and enjoy health and buoyancy of spirits. Price. 50o.— P. C. Corrigan. Turk's Reverence for Mother.

Charley Towne’i Oratory Never Raised the Price of a Bushel of Grain or Pound of Meat. Omaha, Oct. 15.—In so called tem perance districts In the state and among temperance people some of Governor Poynter’s friends are trying to make votes for him by telling false hoods about Charles H. Dietrich, the Republican candidate for governor. When they are talking to these people they tell stories about Dietrich being a saloon man, part owner of a brew ery and of making a “saloon cam paign.” When they speak of Mr. Dietrich to the saloon element they tell them that he is a rank temperance man and is in favor of prohibition. There are 50 different places In the city of Omaha where the minions of Governor Poynter have been and rep resented that Charles H. Dietrich was not alone a temperance man, but a prohibitionist. They have gone Into many saloons of this city and cam paigned against Dietrich on the ground that he is a temperance man. In other communities, among church and temperance people, they have taken just the opposite tact and cir culated reports that Dietrich Is part owner of a brewery and is In league with the saloon element. Democrats and Populists, some of them holding office, are going over the state in the temperance districts in the guise of temperance advocates at tacking his record and spreading vic ious falsehoods about him. It is known that one of the state bank ex aminers has devoted a great deal of his time to this class of work the last few months. He has kept his iden tity covered up and has been instru mental, under the pretense of working for the good of the temperance cause, In organising temperance clubs against Dietrich and in misleading by false statements members of churches and ministers of the gospel. The statement that Charles H. Diet rich, the Republican candidate for governor, now or at any other time owned an interest in a brewery, sa loon or any other establishment where liquor was made or sold, or that he is what Is termed a drinking man, is as false and malicious a statement as any one could possibly make. There Is not a word of truth in it and it is absolutely false in each and every par ticular. In the city of Hastings, where Mr. Deitrich has been in busi ness and resided for many years, he is recognized as an exemplary citizen, temperate, industrious and a liberal giver to the churches and to charity. Since this question has been raised It may be appropriate to give the good temperance people some inside history concerning Govenor Poynter and the liquor element. The statements here in made can be easily verified. Here they are: Governor Poynter appointed as col onel on his staff Walter Moise of Omaha. Moise is in the liquor busi ness on Fourteenth street, between Farnam and Douglas, in this city, and owns and controls upwards of 30 sa loons in different towns in the state. He sells whisky all over Nebraska, as much if not more than any other liquor dealer in the state. Until about a year ago he was connected with one Jack Norton, alias John Robenstein, in the saloon business in the south half of the building occupied by his whole sale liquor house. Norton is a des perate character and his photograph is In the rogue's gallery in the Harrison street police station at Chicago. The resort run by Moise and Norton was a veritable dive. Moise stood in with the police commission 'at that time and blackmail was levied on dives, gamblers, thugs and thieves. These desperate characters made Norton’s saloon their headquarters and the “li censed” thieves and thugs met there and divided up the plunder. The place became such a resort for bad charac ters that the authorities finally had to close it. During a city campaign which occurred about that time there was a falling out between Moise and some of bis “heelers” and the result was that a public circular was issued in which Moise was openly charged with being a boodler and the names of gamblers were given, together with the amount of money they had to pay each week for the privilege of break ing the law. It was even charged that Norton made a deal or demanded $75 per day from two well-known pick pockets for the privilege of robbing the people on street cars during the exposition, he to stop the police from arresting them. This is the Moise who is colonel on Governor Poynter’s stair. Last spring, just before the city elec tion. Governor Poynter came to Omaha and made a deal with the brewers of this city to appoint a police commis sion that would permit them to run their saloons ail night and with back and Bide doors open on Sunday and the brewers in turn were to give up $1,500 to the Democratic city cam paign fund. This deal was made in secret conference. The money was paid and the police commission was appointed, but the whole deal was so fraudulent and unlawful that the su preme court declared the acts of the governor null and void and knocked out the commission appointed by him. Any one who disbelieves these charges has only to consult the dockets of the fusion supreme court to ascertain that the connotation was appointed and I knocked out, and there are any number of people In Omaha who know of the deal between Poynter and the brewers. It Is a fact worthy of note, too, that one of the commissioners appointed at that time by Poynter was and Is a close and confidential friend of Moise and was and is a gambler on the board of trade. Another of his appointees on the commission was a lawyer whom Judge C. R. Scott of the district court disbarred for attempting to bribe him. Governor Poynter appointed as su perintendent of the state fish hatchery at South Bend Adam Sloup, an Omaha saloonkeeper. Sloup still retains his half Interest in a saloon at Fourteenth and Williams streets In the city of Omaha. Sloup knew nothing of the fish hatchery business and the prop erty is practically ruined. The official salaried attorney of the State Liquor League is Matthew Ger ing of Plattsmouth, a prominent figure In the state councils of the Democratic party. One of the fusion regents of the uni versity, elected at the last election, was at the time of his nomination and election the locally retained attorney of a well-known Milwaukee brewing company. This is only part ofPoynter’s record on the liquor question. There is no “they say” or “so-and-so told me” about these statements. Some of them •re matters of record and all of them can be easily verified. Reverting to the reports concerning Mr. Dietrich, It may be well to state that there is a G. H. Dietrich In the wholesale liquor business at Crawford and there is a man named Diederlch who represents the Krug Brewing company, and it is possible that some people have confused these names and unintentionally done the Republican candidate for governor an injury. But these gentlemen are in no way related and are separate and distinct individ uals. While some may have uninten tionally confused these names there are fusion campaign workers who know the facts and their confusion is not only intentional, but it is malicious. If the earnest temperance workers who are members, of the Anti-Saloon League think they are helping their cause by supporting Poynter and de feating Dietrich they are very much tYilfltnlroTi IS POOR COLLATERAL. Charles A. Towne has abandoned Minnesota and Michigan, the two states he agreed to deliver to Bryan, and has come to Nebraska to help stem the tide. It is claimed for Towne that he is a great orator and has a happy facul ty of making auditors believe that black is white whenever the occasion requires. Well, oratory is all right in its place, but it never filled an empty stomach, bought a crust of bread, raised the price of a bushel of grain or a pound of meat, paid off a mortgage, created employment for labor or a market for farm products. All the oratory from Demosthenes to Towne never provided any one with a day’s labor or afforded means of pay ing a dollar’s worth of indebtedness. It is not bankable, you can not check against it, you can not use it is collat eral security, it wouldn’t even serve to ignite the kindling in the stove to keep yourself and little ones warm. It never put a shingle on a roof, bought a pair of baby shoes or protected one man, woman or child from the cold. Yes, oratory is all right in its place, but its place is not on the bill of fare when you want to order something for an empty stomach. Like the plumage of the peacock, oratory is intended for a display, but it adds neither value nor worth to anything. . It is simply gaudy plumage, nothing more. There is a wide distinction between oratory and logic. Oratory is the spray of logic. In politics it is often used as a bridge to span wide gaps and chasms in the chain of reason. Or ators arouse the ecstatic admiration of their auditors and then, while they are in this hypnotized condition, lead them across these bridges without their knowing ft. Though beset with danger, these poor, misguided victims of efTulgent loquacity never realize it. Mr. Towne is more of a hypnotist than a statesman. It is a common thing for hypnotists to make their sub jects believe that wrong is right. Un der the will of the operator subjects have gone so far as to respond to every suggestion. They have given up val uables because the hypnotist, through the process of telepathy, told them to. When they recover from their spell they realize their mistake. No doubt Mr. Towne now and then finds one here and there where he Is speaking i who, like the hypnotized subject, i swallows all he says as gospel truth. In the face of conclusive evidence to 1 the contrary he permits Mr. Towne to lead him to conclusions manifestly absurd. Mr. Towne’s oratory did not prevent the hard times of 1896. His oratory did not bring the good times of today. This is something for the Nebraska admirers of Towne to think about. Let the farmers of Nebraska throw Mr. Towne’s oratory and the logic of | experience Into the same scale and 1 weigh them both. Do this before you i vote. Remember that Towneism Is | Bryanlsm and BryanWm means low i prices and hard times. You do not have to be told by Towne or any one ; else that Bryanlsm means hard times. This nation could live forever with ! out oratory, but it would go to pieces i la a very short time without states i xnanshlp. One ounce of McKinley statesmanship In the matter of creat i Ing new markets for the products of Nebraska farms and employment for American labor is worth a train-load [ of Towne oratory.__ P. D.
