Bishop Potter’s sanctified gin shop
has proven a failure. After a year’s
experiment with an institution that
was dedicated by prayer and song the
management are asked to meet a de
ficit of $16,000. A saioonist to whom
the busted tavern has been sold ex
plains why It failed. “A saloon,” he
says, “is a place for drink, not wor
ship. Religion follows rum; it doesn’t
go hand in hand with it. A man
thinks of religion the morning after.”
The Chicago and Northwestern rail
way system reports nearly a million
dollars increase in net earnings for
the year ending June 30, over the
previous year. The total net earn
ings for the system were $17,095,963.
The report shows a profit of 45 per
cent of the gross earnings. The rail
toad industry is not the only one to
enjoy prosperity in these piping times
of peace and plenty. We, of the rural
districts, are wont to complain of ex
cessive tolls levied by the railroads,
and yet nobody shares in the general
prosperity more than the man in the
country. Right here on the O’Neill
market hogs are worth $5 per hun
dred pounds and corn 3$ cents a bush
el, and the farmer doesn’t have to pay
the railroads any tolls to bring his
hogs and corn to town. The farmers
as well as the man in business have
been keeping out of the bankruptcy
court pretty well since the Ilingley
tariff took the place of the Wilson
Gorman act, and it is doubted if they
will want to take the chances on a
change soon.
Neligh Leader: In the halcyon days
of the populist party it held its con
tention regardless of any other party
on earth; declaring its principles and
taominating its candidates in advance
of all others. With the democracy it
had hardly a speaking acquaintance,
and a sure means of defeating a candi
date in a populist convention was to
intimate even that his populism was
tinctured with democracy. All this
has changed. We now find the popu
lists making up their issues after the
republicans have held their conven
tions, hoping to reach some advantage
through hoped for mistakes of repub
licans. The party is no longor one of
principle, but of expediency. It seeks
fusion with the democrats and will
sacrifice everything for a few votes,
! hoping to regain control of a few min
or offices. Starting with high ideals,,
even if eccentric, the populist party
has degenerated into a mass of office
seekers, disgruntled politicians, inter
mixed with a mass of socialism, un
practical reformers and dreamers,
making a pessimistic misiit, danger
ous to free government and society.
These facts have become recognized
by fair-minded men, who have deter
mined Unit the only hope for reform
measures lies in the rank and tile of
tlie republican party.
However, the “vicious revenue law”
is bringing t he delinquents to li merick.
