The esteemed Independent has much to say about the “vicious elements of the new revenue law." The Independent might elucidate the subject by pointing out the "vicious elements” and demanding their repeal. In a few words Mr. Bryan disposes of American heiresses who marry a foreign title. "I would have to be mighty ugly if I were a woman,” he says, "before I would hire a man to marry me and take me to a foreign country."

T^e Free Pass as a Branding Iron. Omaha Bee: The remarkable state ment given to the press over the name of J. H. Ager, head prass dis tributer and chief legislative lobbyist of one of the big railroads of Nebraska, should cause the people of this state, and particularly the lawmakers in session at Lincoln, to pause and ponder over its significance. That the free pass evil is widespread and permeates the legislature almost without exception has long been no torious, so that the charges made by a representative from Nemaha county that the railroad lobby is using the influence of their pass favors to pre vent wholesome legislation contain nothing new. When, however, Mr. Ager puts the shoe on and comes back with the de claration that the representative in question is himself a holder of an an nual pass over his road, and has re quested and received numerous trip passes since the session opened, he un dertakes to use the free pass as a branding iron. Because the pass accepting legislator has failed to meet expectations by reciprocating railway favors at the expense of his constitu ents, the pass distributor denounces him in public and in effect says to other pass holding legislative mem bers: “See how I have branded the gentleman from Nemaha. If you do not carry out the implied obligations of your free rides you may expect similar treatment.” The question becomes not whether a pass is to be regarded as a bribe, but whether it is to be employed as a club. When such practices are pursued every public official who accepts a railway pass must know that he puts himself absolutely at the mercy of unscrupulous railway hirelings and that he must execute orders from rail road headquarters without question or refuse only to be branded in public with an ineffaceable mark. Unless the blighting menace of the free pass is shortly recogni/.ed and averted by stringent legislation before it grows to more monstrous proportions, the representative character of our gov ernment will be completely destroyed and our lawmaking bodies will become mere machines to register the decrees of the railroad lobbyists. Trade Conditions Dun’s Review: Trade reports are still somewhat conflicting, but, on the whole, improvement has followed more settled weather, and the outlook is considered favorable, even in sec tions where current business is irregu lar. Mercantiles are not as prompt at the East as elsewhere, but the liabilities of commercial failures in February were much smaller than a year ago. Tratllc blockades have been lifted, restoring a normal distribution of merchandise, and railway earnings in February were only 5.1 per cent, smaller than last year, despite the severe weather at the start. Little idle machinery is noted in the iron and steel industry, textile mills are Increasingly active, and New England shoe shops are shipping more freely than a year ago, although there is still delay in booking orders for footwear. Minor manufacturing plants are also preparing for large sales, indicating that confidence remains unshaken. Agricultural communities have pros pered, cash prices of all farm products maintaining profitable positions, but the speculative markets are erratic. Foreign commerce at this port for the last week shows a gain of $1,126,319 in value of merchandise imported, while exports decreased $887,535, compared with the same week last year. Activi ty continued in Wall Street, sixty railway stocks rising to the highest point of the season at an average of $113.59 which was within $2.68 of the high record established in 1902, but subsequently there was more or less reaction and irregularity. Rates for money continued firm at the recent advance to about 3 per cent for call loans, but foreign exchange became weaker. Bank exchange at New York for the last week were 121.4 per cent, larger than in the same week of 1904, and at other leading cities there was a gain of 25 per cent. Healthy Mothers. Mothers should always keep in good bodily health. They owe it to their children. Yet it is no unusual sight to see a mother, with babe in arms, coughing violently and exhibiting all the symptoms of a consumptive ten dency.

No mother should be without this old and tried remedy in the house —for its timely use will promptly cure any lung, throat or bronchial trouble in herself or her children. The worst cough or cold can be speedily cured by German Syrup; so can hoarseness and congestion of the bronchial tubes.

At all druggists. Proper treatment of Pneumonia. Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease for anyone to attempt to doc tor himself, although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physi cian should always be called. It should be born in mind, however, that pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of the grip, and that by giving Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy the threatened attack of pneumonia may Ibe warded off. This remedy is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneumonia with the best results. Dr. W. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala., who is also a druggist, says of it: “I have been selling Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and prescriding it in my practice for the past six years. I use it in cases of pneumonia and have always gotton the best results.” Foe sale by P. C. Corrigan. The North-Western Line.

SWEET PRUNE PLUM September 1, 1903, three bushels of plums were picked from one five year old tree in E. D. Hammond’s orchard of Sweet Prune plums. The tree com menced to bear two years after plant ing and is bearing every year. It is the only Prune Plum that has been a success with me and I have tried many kinds. It stood the dry years, 1893 and 1894, and the hard winter of 1899 and bore fruit the following sea son. It is a grand success for North eastern Nebraska. It is a dark purple in color, large size, skin can be easily removed and can be pitted like a free stone peach. They are excellent for canning and preserves and are so sweet that they require very little sugar. I sold this plhm at $2.50 to $3.00 a bushel the past season when other varieties of sour plums were selling for 75* cents to a $1.00 a bushel. It has taken first premium at the Lincoln State fair, and limbs ana brances loaded with plums, shipped to the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo, New York, were shown in the Nebraska fruit exhibt that took one of the gold medals. I also received an honorable mention dipioma on this plum from the Pan-American exposi tion. We believe this plum has more good vualities, and is the best plum in existance for this whole northwestern country. If you plant some of these trees you will be well paid. We have a choice tine lot of five to six foot trees to seel for the Spring of 1905. These treets were grown from grafts cut off these bearing treets that bore these plums, and they will bear fruit at two or three years old if planted and are sute to be genuine. If you want some of these trees send your order early and get the best plum in existence. Trees five to six feet $1.25 each; $12.00 per dozon. Six trees for $6.00. The only way you can be sure of gettitg this plum true to name grafted from my bearing trees is to send your order direct to me. Trees delivered free to any rail road town.
