Political Announcement.
I hereby announce my candidacy
for the republican nomination for
sheriff, subject to the will of the party
at the August primary.

Holt county farmers are too much
engrossed with the. mammoth crops
this year to get very much excited
over the tariff schedules.

Supervisor Jake Roll lias been nomi
nated as republican candidate for
assessor for Ewing precinct. This
year precinct assessors will be elected
to serve next year.
A decline of nearly a quarter of a
dollar in the price of wheat purports
some relief from high priced bread in
the near future. Within a few weeks
the new wheat crop will be ready for
market when a greater decline may
be looked for.
Chicago is having a sensational
shaking. It is the same old story of
police protection for tribute money
from the institutions of iniquity.
There is probably a great deal of
truth in the charges preferred al
though tiie outraged bluecoats enter
the customary denial.
The west having to submit to dutl
less hides, it is some consolation to
know that reductions will also be
made on leather. Some leather will
be reduced to 5 per cent Instead of 10
per cent; boots and siioes will be re
duced to 10 per cent Instead of 20 per
cent. Harness and saddlery are to be
made 20 per cent instead of 40 per
cent.
Politics are very quite in Sheridan
county. The present county clerk,
who has held the office sixteen years,
the present county treasurer, county
judge and county superintendent are
all candidates for re-election and have
no opposition, whloh leads the Rush
ville Standard to remark “that the
people are not as office hungry as they
are accused of being. ”
South Dakota has hardly got over
the last rush of homestead seekers
until it is announced that more Indian
lands will be thrown open to settle
ment. The Cheyenne and Standing
Rtck reservations will be opened
some time this summer. They are
located in the extreme northern part
of the state west of the Missouri river
and comprise large tracts of land.
Nebraska newspaper men are glad
to see Walt Mason back in print.
Years ago Walt wrote some dandy
‘‘stuff’’ for Omaba, Lincoln and Fre
mont papers, but for several years was
• not heard from. A Kansas publisher
how handles his lucid pen productions
under copyright and several daily
papers use the service. Walt’s sense
of humor has dulled none with the
lapse of years and he writes in the
same old interesting style.
It is said that Governor Shallenber
ger has enough of Bryan’s brother-in
law as state ohairman and will en
deavor to have him replaced with the
Columbus man, Gunther, who did
effectual work last fall in behalf of
the governor. There is a growing
anti - Bryan feeling among Nebraska
democrats and the proposed retire
ment of Allen may be part of the
program to eventually eliminate
Bryan influence in this state.
The eight o’clock closing law is
about the only thing left from last
winter’s legislative work in Nebraska,
and thirty days hasn’t expired yet
with it in force. It appeared a little
peculiar that this law should operate
nearly a month without some fellow
asserting his “constitutional rights.”
Fact is, most of the liquor men are
satisitied with the law, but one fellow
down at Omaha thought he would

American engineers are now on the
ground to superintend the boring of
the tunnell which will join Asia with
America. The tunnels will run
under the Behring straits from
Siberia to Alaska, a distance of sixty
miles. When this great mechanical
task is accomplished it will be pos
slble to go from Paris, Berlin or
Moscow to New York by rail, by
baking the overland train across Rus
sia to Vladivostock, crossiug under

Alaska by rail and thence into the
United States.
Justice David J. Brewer of the
supreme court, in a public address at
Milwaukee, declared himself against
the proposed income tax law. He
stated as his belief that under a
uatlonai Income tax law the states
would be “taxed not only out of their
existence, but out of their vitality.”
He went on to say that our legal pro
cedure is cumbersome and this is due
in part to the attitude of the judges
themselves, who reverse decisions on
mere technicalities. He defended the
acquisition of large fortunes through
business combination, but said that
dishonest wealth must be attacked.
He felt that tire social unrest ovpr
these conditions would disappear as
the influence of the great middle class
and the farmers made itself acquaint
ed with the situation. Senator
Brown of Nebraska, author of the
resolution to refer the income tax to
the states, characterized the state
ment of Justice Brewer as "utterly
ridiculous, absurd and senile.” He
denied that the proposed federal law
would interfere with the power of the
states.
Investigating Wall Street, Gover
nor Hughe’s committee found plenty
of difference of opinion about reme
dies, and even about facts, but some
of the testimony to which they listen
ed has a decided general interest for
the country, says Collier’s Weekly. A
Stock Exchange member of 40 years’
standing stated every one who enters
Wall Street, except as a broker, loses.
In a partnership contract to preclude
a junior’s speculating, this man made
a bona llde offer of $5,000 for the name
and address of every verified winning
customer of any Wall Street house
provided only that the customer had
so traded for two years as to make his
account at active one. Another, for
12 years a member of a prominent
brokerage bouse, stated that in all
this time, after very broad operations
not a single customer ever took out a
dollar of net winnings. An ex-broker
stated that a 10-year search, covering
scores of trading friends and ac
quaintances, as well as the records of
five brokerage houses and one bucket
shop, failed to find a single net win
ner. Most brokers estimate that
between 90 and 98 per cent of custom
ers lose. As practically every mar
ginal trader loses, every bucket shop
and Wall Street house has a complete
new list of customers in from three to
five years.
“Give Me Neither Poverty Nor
Riches” is the title of the latest edi
torial signed by Theodore Roosevelt
in the Outlook^ The writer says that
the movement for the supervision
and effective taxation of vast fortunes
is a Ihealthy one, as it aims to “re
place sullen discontent, restless pess
imsm and evil preparation for revo
lution by an agressive, healthy deter
mination to get to the bottom of our
troubles and remedy them.” He be
lieves that a halt in this movement
would “work wide-reaching damage.”
If the fortune of a multlmillioniare is
the result of a great service rendered
such a man deserves respect and re
ward, continues Mr. Roosevelt, al
though homage should be paid to the
service and not to the fortune. But
when the fortune “is passed on to
some one else who has not rendered
the service then the nation should
impose a heavily graded, progressive
Inheritance tax, a singularity wise
and unobjectionable kind of tax.” He
adds that it would be well if this tax
“bore heaviest on absentees.”
