They understand that tho nomination of elthor ltosowater or Urown moans the control of the next legislature by the republicans. The depositors of tho old Elkhorn Valley bank arc still holding the sack. Had the manipulators boon os active trying to got the money from the fellows who stole it os they were to recover from an Innocent party the depositors might have beuu paid otT before now. At Toledo, Ohio, live loe dealers have been sentenced to one year In the work bouse and to pay a tine of 16,000 each forconsplrancy In restraint of trade. The way the conspirators, roasters and monopolists are being dealt with indicates that thore Is still something to tho "majesty of the law.'* __ The four meat packing concerns re cently convicted In federal court at Kansas City have been fined $15,000 each for accepting rebates. The Bur lington railroad was fined in the same amount. George L. Thomas of New York was fined 90,000 and sentenced to four months in the penitentiary, and L. B. Taggart 94,000and three months In the penitentiary. The aggregate fines amount to 910,000. The Creighton Liberal accuses this paper of perverting the Liberal’s utterances. It the Liberal did not I *ay exactly what we said it said, in the very language we said it did, then we are unable to read plain English. I Tile fact that it said more and em i phasited and enlarged what we said It j said does not abrogate or mitigate * what we said it said. If the Liberal doesn’t mean what it says, then out of its own mouth it confesses to be a political sensationalist tatkiug Into | 'the air. fc ON THE RIGHT HIDE, Democratic editors are laboring bard to convince themselves that the republicans leave appropriated the principles promulgated In the dem ocratic platform of 1896. They claim that the people are now applauding Roosevelt because of his stand for the very principles advocated by the dem ocrats In 1896. Everybody who took even the slightest interest In the campaign of 1896 knows full well that none of the politics of the present day entered Into the heated discussions of that campaign. That was distinctively a “money” campaign. Single or double standard was the Issue, and free silver and the gold standard was on every body's lips. Republicans took the position—and won out on It—that there could not he two standards of measurement of money value. The general and widespread revival of parallml Industries following the vindication of the sound money policy and the repeal of the Wilson law has been the most phenomlnal in the history of any country. That the lapse of ten years should witness some new political Issues is natural. Federal control of large corporations, railroad freight regula tion and anti-pass legislation were not made Issues during the “cross of gold” and “crown of thorns” cam paign. They are Issues today. The republican party stood on the right side of the slavery question; It stood on the right side of the tarllT and money questions; it has guided the ship of state clear of dangerous break ers for fifty years, and with a brave and great leader now In the White House It will continue to deal wisely with public questions. UOV. M1CKFY AGAINST THREE OFFICIALS. Governor Mickey Is not down and out Just yet. And now Is the op portunity for him to play his hand. The people are In the mood to listen to any kind of a story that impugns the character of an otllclal or brands him as a railroad tool. The governor Is after the scalps of Secretary of State Galusha, Auditor Searle and Commissioner Eaton, all candidates for renomination. Each of these three olllclals as members of the state board of equalization opposed any advance In the railroad assessments. Now, naturally enough but wheth er Justly wo can not say, the charge Is made that they are allied with the railroad Interests. They have been worthy olllclals in the administration >f their respective olllces, but the fact that they voted against an Increase of the railroad assessment will ally them with the railroads In the minds of many people, regardless of whether their votes were prompted by honest convictions. However, the governor Is not free rrom the suspicion that he Is doing a little grandstand work and taking advantage of the times to vent his porsonal spleen. REACHING EPFBOTIOE STAGE. Sioux City Tribune: Slowly but surely the crusade against Illegal com binations Is reachsng the eltective stage. The government forced the paper trust to dissolve, it is gaining ground against the tobacco trust, Arkansas has made the harvester trust pay a big line, Nebraska has checked the oareer of the grain deal ers’ combination and the United States attorney general and Ills as sistants are busy with the crusade against the Standard Oil company. The latest advance in the "busting” methods Is reported from St. Louis, where Judge Ryan of the circuit court has decided that a purchaser of goods from a concern which is a member of a trust does not need to pay for them. This decision, if sus tained and followed as a precedent, would make the business of combined concerns extra hazardous because it would be impossible to collect money due them. The decision is probably based on the theory that a concern which outers into a contract in re straint of trade is an outlaw. Any contract Involved in such an agree ment could not be enforced. These appear to be the halycon days for the trust buster since the same day’s dispatches convey the in formation that a Toledo judge has sentenced live prominent business men who were in a combination to rywitrol the price of ice to a year each in the workhouse, subject to mitiga tion if they agree to restore to con sumers what they have collected in excessive prices. Tiiey must also agree to sell ice at the prices which pre vailed before they entered into a combination. The enforcement of the laws avainst restraint of trade generally might bring about similar results. Many communities have combinations among coal dealers, lumbermen and venders of other commodities. If the St. Louis decision is combined with the Toledo precedent, combinations of any kind whatever will fall into dis use. CONTEMPORARY COMMENT. “Dr. Gllligan of O’Neill for United States senator,” says the Atkinson Graphic. “That seems to be the pre vailing sentiment in this senatorial district, which the Graphic heartily endorses.” The Rushvillc Recorder notes as an other sugnilicant move in the matter of righting public wrongs is President Roosevelt seeking authority from Con gress to withhold all future govern ment lands containing oil or coal from the hands of private speculators. The object of this is to protect the public, and if successful will he one of the most radical steps taken by our gov ernment to deal with strikes and un fair competition in the handling of these public utilities. The Shelton Clipper expresses a well grounded fear when it says: “Let the convention fall to nominate a candi date for the Uuited States senate, and there will be such dissatisfaction that it will i»e doubtful ifasingle man on the state ticket is elected. The people have declared for the nomina tion of a candidate for United States senator by the state convention, and they won’t be put off without it. If there is any one thing the coining re publican state convention can do that will please the democrats it will be a failure to nominate a candidate for senator.’’ “Church Howe, a Nebraskan who is waking good in thediplomaticservice, has just been appointed by the presi dent as concul general to Montreal,” says the Fremont Tribune. “Mr.IIowe was given a position in the foreign service of the government by Senator Thurston and he has proven his worth In that position.

Lock-Level Canal. Washington, June 27.—The vote in the senate on the subject of type of I’annama Canal proved to be a very great surprise in both branches of Con gress. Ten days ago tlie majority for the sea-level type of canal in the sen ate was pronounced. The action of the house about that time in restricting tlie use of money appropriated for the canal to measures looking to the con struction of a lock-level type of canal, had its inlluence upon the minds of some of the senators. It was thought that the people of tlie country would not sanction much more delay in reference to the work on tlie canal and would blame the senate for permitting the great question to i go over until the next session of con , gress. Since that time there has been constant change in the sentiment on the subject in the senate. During that time all the speeches in favor of a lock-level canal were delivered. It will be remembered that Senator Millard, chairman of the senate com mittee on Interoceanic-canals, has all along been steadfastly supporting the administration in its contention for a high level canal. His report of the views of the minority of his commit tee to the senate was regarded as the [ ^... ~~ ^B—mmnii, - fi ^ ’"^jjr^'TilIMT up- ■ If your dishes are getting broken up and you netd *to replace your table service you will find Horiskv’s Grocery has some excellent bargains this summer.

Not only Senator Millard, but Senator Dryden of New Jersey and Senators Hopkins and Cul lom of Illnois as well as Senator Knox of Pennsylvania and Senator Perkins of California, dea't sledge hammer blows in opposition to the sea-level type, in their speeches in the senate. Meantime Chairman Millard work ed unceasingly with Senators who had not given the subject careful attention pointing out to them the salient rea sons why a lock canal would best serve the interests of the country, and his efforts were crowned . with success when the vote was taken on Thursday afternoon. Senators on the floor, members of the Isthmian canal com mission, and many friends lost no time in congratulating Senator Millard up on his success in conducting the fight for a lock-level canal and in opposition to the sea-level project. The senator also received many congratulations from constituents who have watched his course in respect to this legisla tion and who expressed gratification at his firm stand in accord with the administration, and his effective work on the floor and in committee in be half of a measure whose strongest sup porters in the senate only a few days ago regarded as hopelessly lost.
