A jury in the district court of John
son county has just convicted a bank
wrecker of Tescumseh, whose bank
failed In 1902. Perhaps there is time
enough yet to institute proceedings
against the wreckers of the Elkhorn
Valley bank.
Rock county is having a regulation
political scrap over the proposition to
vote bonds for the Midland Central
railroad. The promoters are having
a little rougher sailing than they had
in Holt county. Tax payers of tills
oqunty always were “easy” on a pro
position of this kind.
G. W. Wattles announces that he is
not or will not this time be a candi
date for the senate. Mr. Wattles
doubtless sees which way the straws
pdint and realizes that his connection
with corporation interests would ren
der him an unpopular candidate at a
time when everybody is demanding a
candidate free from such connections.
iThe Independent apologizes for the
Inactivity of County Attorney Mul
len in respect to the bank trust in its
u'sual way of trying to throw the
blame onto others. It will be remem
bered that this same sheet also tried
tosaddle the blame of the miscarriage
of the prosecution of the bank wreck
er* onto the depositors. It is ever
Wady with apologies and excuses for
]top officials who are neglegent of duty.
The Northwestern railroad has dis
missed a large number of its employees
$n the Nebiaska-Wyoming division
bfecause of growing intemperence
Iktaong them. The railroads are neces
sarily pretty strlck as to the habits of
those employed by them, and a man
<j&n not indulge an undue thirst for
jhjtd liquor and be a railroader at the
Miiae time. The same requirments are
alto a part of the regulations of nearly
jtil the business concerns of the coun
try employing any number of men.
*\ y, ■ _
Amidst the general uprising against
th$ trnsts and combines, whats the
matter with going after wholesale
fruit and vegetable men. That they
Ire simply robbing the people of small
toWns is apparent to one at all famlli
IV with the difference in the prices of
tW|t in the cities and country towns,
^comparison of prices of fresh fruits
mow they average SO per cent higher
W'the country towns. The reason for
thW, the local retailers claim, is that
Cjty dealers are favored by the whole
salers. This may be one of the small
erabuses the captains of commerce
are guilty of, but it is something that
cohcerns people in the country towns
generally.
Nebraska Liberal: Somebody is
sending us leaflets and pamphlets
showing all municipalities and coun
tries in Europe which are under
municipal and government ownership
are losing money. What the d
dd' we care what they lose?
Thats It. What do the ranting de
mocrats care what happens to the
country if they can win the election.
Back In the early ’90’s the democrats
told us it was the “robber traiff” that
was ruining a happy and contented
people. A democratic president was
elected, and all the world knows the
result. Four years latter It was the
“crime of ’73’’ that was causing all
the distress to the then unhappy and
discontented people. The next presi
dential election the democrats saw
something else menacing the peace
and properity of the country that was
established by a republican adminis
tration on the commercial wreck left
by the democrats. Now the democrat’s
think government ownership and a
few other platitudes are the proper
thing. Sure enough, “what the
d-do the democrats care.”
FREE PASS ABUSES.
Omaha Bee: In connection with
the indictment of former Postmaster
Crow on charges of attempting to in
fluence members of the federal grand
jury by the distribution of railroad
passes the question naturally arises,
why the railroads—and there seems to
be at least four of them involved
should furnish free transportation for
grand jurors under any circumstances.
The railroads are known to have
been pretty liberal in the past in
granting “courtesies” to court officers
and court attaches and still more lib
eral to law makers and legislative on
hangers, but that the pass system ex
tended down to the talesmen sitting
on juries had only been suspected.
One can easily imagine a case present
ed to a grand jury disclosing flagrant
law violation by high railroad officials
where every member of the jury was
riding free back and forth to his home
by “courtesy” of the felf-same rail
road.
A prohibition of the issue of free
passes for interstate transportation
has been induced in the new rate bill,
although with too many exceptions,
and some similar law that will control
the issue ef free passes for transporta
tion wholly within state lines will be
insistently demanded by the next le
gislature to put an end to just such
practices as have been disclosed by
the indictment cited.
The supreme court of the United
States affirms the decision of the fed
eral court of the western district of
Missouri in the case of Senator Burton
of Kansas. The senator must go to
prison and pay a line of 92,500. The
sentence of the federal court was six
months in the Iron county, Mo., jail a
fine of $2,500 and deprived of the right
to hereafter hold office under the
goverment. Senator Burton was pro
secuted on the charge of violating sec
tion 1782 of the revised statutes, which
prohibits senators and representatives
from receiving compensation for ser
vices rendered before any of the gov
ernment departments in any matter
in which the government may be in
terested. lie was specifically charged
with accepting a fee of $500 per month
for five months, from the Rialto Grain
and Securities company of St. Louis,
for services rendereef that sompany in
an effort to prevent the issuance of an
order by the Postofflce department,
prohibiting the use of tiie mails by the
company. He has fought hard to head
off execution of the sentence and pro
bably is not yet through fighting, as
sixty days are granted for a motion
for a rehearing. Burton, although a
senator, should not set himself up as
greater than the laws and courts but
should take the dose prescribed by due
process of law for violation of the
statue. When the law makers defy
the laws they make what may be ex
pected of citizens who have nothing
to do with fomulating laws.
CONTEMPORARY COMMENT.
The Crawford Tribune admits that it
has not been charged With the duty of
selecting a United States senator for
the people of Nebraska.
The Tekamah Herald gives this ad
vice: Take what is due you and don’t
be a baby. If you have done things
that merit censure and disapproval do
not expect to escape and do not whine
when you get “yourn.”
Its the opinion of the Auburn Gran
ger that when a man declares with
one breath that he is a democrat, and
with the next breath declares that he
belongs to the democratic party he
piles up enough inconsistency for a
week’s washing.
“Men clothed in a little brief author
ity can not be warned too often
against swelling up like a poisoned
pup and assuming airs that they will
soon have to doff,” observes the York
Times. “Be decent and wise, and
when you retire from power, which
you must soon do, you will have the
respect and good will of your neighbors,
which lasts forever and is worth much
more than the tappings of present and
passing power.”
The editor of the Pender Republic
says: “It makes us very tired, indeed,
to have merchants insist onus to urge
the people to trade at home and not
send away to mail order houses or big
city stores for their goods, and when
we go around to settle our account
have presented to us a bill head print
ed away from home or receive copy
for an ad written on a letter head
which never “trade at home.” Yes,
we believe in it, but those who cry
out so loud and presistently should
certainly bs first to set the exampld.”
“The impending annual apportion
ment of the school fund promises to
distribute a larger sum than ever be
fore in the history of Nebraska,” says
the Omaha Bee, “with one exception.
This money comes from the invest
ment of the permanent school endow
ment and the rentals of school lands.
A large income in the temporary
school fund means that the money has
been kept fully invested and that the
rentals are being promptly paid. For
this the members of the state board
charged with the administration of
this trust have a right to claim some
credit.”
It is not shade alone that makes it
cooler under a tree in summer, says an
exchange. The coolness of the tree
itself helps, for its temperature is
about forty-live degrees Fahrenheit at
all times, as that of the human body
is a fraction more than ninety-eight
degrees. So a clump of trees cools the
air as a piece of ice cools the water in
a pitcher. That is why the legislature
has authorized the park authorities of
New York City to plant trees in the
tenement districts. If the air can be
made purer and cooler by the trees,
fewer children will die of heat
ailments. _
The Schuyler Frees Lance touches
a vital spot in stating that federal
court judge’s “ride on annual passes
on all railroads and he can get trip
passes for any of his relatives and
friends he asks for; the same is true
as to the marshal and prosecuting at
torney and all connected with the
court are on the list.” The Free Lance
continues: “When a jury is drawn,
passes are at their service if they de
sire to return home during the session.
No wonder that as soon as a railroad
corporation has any trouble tne feder
al court is restored to. What show
has the public in such courts against
a railroad company? IIow long is this
outrage to continue?”
Gahusha Alright.
The following is found in the Red
Cloud Nation, published in the home
town of Secretary of State Galusha:
A. Galusha has made an excellent
record as secretary of state; lie has,
without prejudice to any body, probably
been the most efficient official in that
office the state has even had there.
Mr. Galusha is a business men. He
has looked after the affairs of the state
without fear or favor just as a good
business man looks after his own busi
ness interests. The fact is we never
had a better set of state officers than
now, if as good, and it looks like they
are entitled to consideration at the
hands of the state convention on the
principle that good service one term
deserves recognition by another term.
—Fairfield Herald.
The Nation is not a republican pap
er, but can recognize the justness of
the above as far as our townsman, A.
Galusha, is concerned. He has been
true to his convictionsand his friends;
will stand no monkey business in his
office. His honesty and ability is re
cognized all over the state as well as
among his business associates.
Marrying for Money.
Atchinson Globe: When Mr. Jeph
son was thinking of marrying a girl
“with money” his friend Rogers ad
vised against it for reasons which he
was quite ready to give. "My boy,”
he said, “before I was married my
wife inherited $500 from her grand
father. The whole town knew it.
When I built a store, they smiled.
‘His wife’s money,’they said. When
I built a house, the same smile went
round, ‘His wife’s money.’
“After a while I took stock in
the new gas and electric company.
“ ‘Aha!’ said the treasurer. ‘I see
you are investing some of your wife’s
money.’
“All my life that poor little $500 has
received the credit for everything I
have been able to achieve. As a mat
ter of fact, my wife spent the money
the day she got it for a diamond ring
and a piano. She lost the ring a week
later, and I guess some of the neigh
bors have wished heartily that she
would lose the piano."
Violets.
Blue and white, in soft array,
Over the meadows the violets lay,
Lowly and meek, as if to pray.
A little brook goeth murmuring by,
Singing its tender lullaby,
While softly the violets stir and sigh,
And to the mosses gently cling,
And dainty bits of color fling
Over the meadows wavering.
List as they whisper soft and low,
To the warm earth heart below,
Where all sweet treasures spring and
grow.
And the sweet bird in yonder tree
Sings to the violets merrily,
Sending his heart out cheerily.
And fleeting shadows come and go
Over the grasses, swift and slow,
Down where the blossoms bloom below.
Little violets, dainty and fair,
This one brief hour, oh, let me share
The spirit of your sweetness rare.

THE SUDAN NATIVES.
They Once Thought White Men to Be
Submarine Monsters.
There is a passage in one of the an
cient Arab histories to the effect that
“the white people come from the other
side, of the sea.” This statement has
become so distorted among certain
tribes of natives of the Sudan that
they believe that the white men come
from the bottom of the sea. A wily
Arab leader In this district once in
formed his followers that they had
nothing to fear from the white men,
as they could not live away from the
water. The fact that a high official
took his bath dally was further con
sidered confirmatory evidence of the
submarine origin of the white man.
The Arabs, in order to retain their in
fluence over the. natives, spread broad
cast the report that the white men
were cannibals. The fact that they did
not eat black men was explained as
due to their devilish cunning. They
wanted to make themselves strong in
the country before beginning their hor
rid practices, but as they could not al
together do without this, kind o'f food
they brought human flesh with them In
cans. In west Africa a French expedi
tion had the unfortunate experience of
finding a portion of a human finger
cut off, no doubt, by some accident—in
a can of meat Here was fresh and
conclusive confirmation of the story,
in which the people had almost ceased
to believe, and it was only after a con
siderable lapse of time that the idea
was at length eradicated.—Chicago
News.

HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY.
F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS:
Baltimore, Md., March 30, 1901.
Gentlemen : — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you
a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion.
About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num
ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that
only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever.
I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat
ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and
to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours,
F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md.
