" HOW TO REACH THE NORTH POLE. We may seem .fully entitled to draw the conclusion that a current is constantly running across the polar region somewhere north of Franz Josef Land from the sea north of the Siberian coast and Hering Strait, and into the sea be tween Spitzbergen and Greenland. Since such a current exists, the most natural way of reaching the North Pole, or a point quite near it, must be to enter the current on the side where it runs northward, that is, somewhere near the New Siberi an Islands, and let it carry one straight across those unknown re gions which it has prevented so many from reaching. I shall build a wooden ship as small and as strong as possible; it shall be just big enough to carry provisions for twelve men for five years, besides the necessary coal; a vessel of about 2UO tons will suffice. The most important feature of the ship will be that she shall be built on such lines as will give her the greatest power of re sistence to the pressure of the lloe ice. Her sides must not be perpen dicular, as those of ships generally are, but must slope fnm the bul warks to the keel; or, to use a sailor s expression, tier "tieau rise must be made great, so that tin lloe.s shall get no hold of her when they are presseel together, but will glide downward along her- side and under her, thus tending to lift ith this vessel, and a crew of ten or twelve strong and well-picked men, besides an equipment for live years as good in all respects as modern appliances can afford, I think the enterprise has a jrood prospect of success. Now that the shops are increasing their forces, Plattsmouth ought to get a hustle on that would put it away beyond such staid old .Mis souri towns as Nebraska City. THE Spanish reciprocity treaty will soon be given to the public. Its provisions promise to open up a great market for American wheat and flour. All hail to Hlaine and NcKinley ! The independent people's party will hold its primaries in this county on Saturday of this week. There will be music in the air when the one hundred odd candidates re alize suddenly that there are only six offices to fill. Hon. Tilos. H. Kkkd returned Thursday from his lour months tour in Kurope. After he gets rested up he will go to Ohio and help elect Wm. McKinley governor The two invincible knights of protection McKinley and Reed will be a great team in the buckeye state this fall. The Ohio democratic leaders and otners ot that party, who are con versant with the campaign in that state, say very dolefully, that there is no particular significance "at tached to the Ohio election this fall anvway. The best indication in the world that the Huckeve democrats have given up the fight in advance to the gallant Mc Kinley. BOIES ON CORN. This is from Governor Hoies' New York banquet speech, in which he stated that the entire value of the crop when marketed had averaged for five years SIXTY-SKVKN CENTS AN ACRK LESS THAN TIIK ACTUAL COST OF PRO DUCTION. "The actual cost of producing this ceral, the most profitable of all that are raised within that state, has. during the same period, ex ceeded the entire value ot the crop when harvested, saying nothing whatever of income from the cap ital invested in the land required to produce it." "WHAT IS TRUK OF TIIK PRO DUCTION OF CORN IN IOWA IS EQUALLY TRUK OF ALL THE GREAT STAPLES RAISED ON HER FARMS." Think of the effect of such state ments at the money center of the country by a man who is supposed to fairly represent the state. The slander, for it can be called nothing less,' is locked upon as a statement of fact by the eastern capitalist who will see to it' that none of his money finds lodgment in so poor and unfortunate a state as Iowa is said to be by its own democratic governor. iNow this same gover nor goes before the people whose homes he has slandered and adver tised abroad of failures, and asks them to again place the sceptre of the chief executive of the great and wealthy state of Iowa in his hands for twojyears more- Will they do it? If possessed of the intelligence of a Sandwich Islander or African Hottentot they will bury lr. Hoie under on avalanche ot votes in November, Ex-Speaker Reed is billed to make several speeches for Major Mc Kinley in Ohio. Mr. Reed is one of those men who don't get insulted at a placard bearing the in scription "American Made Tin" but rather swells with manly pride at the thought of the prosperity of his country and the extension of her industries. Mr. Reed is not a dem ocrat. Genekal Booth, of the Salvation Army, has gone to South Africa to convert the Zulus. If he makes a success of it he will then come back and try his hand on Nebraska City, though a formal acquaintance with that town compels us to say that success with the Zulus is not a guarantee that Nebraska City could be civilized by the same influence. The Kutopean bankers and finan cial writers are surprised at the readiness with which the United States gave up $70,000,000 of g for export in the past few months. Undoubtedly the'fact that this big drain has caused no dread or harm here has net only added to the pres tige of the United States, but has produced a more cheerful feeling in financial circles all over the world. Kx. mere serfs. The people, however, notice these things, and note also the arrant hypocrisy of the men who at time." pretend to favor the interests of the toiling masses. ' .' m" . BLAINE AS A DEMOCRATIC DIS SOLVENT. In an article on the old Ninth ward of New York City, which ap pears in the New York World, we find the following statement, which is significant as an indication of the changes that have been wrought in more than one locality by the nom ination of Hlaine and Cleveland in ISSt: The line of dcinarcalion between the democrats and republicans in the Ninth ward is not as clear cut as in many other districts of the city, for the reason that many for mer democrats are now voting with the republicans particularly those first led from their allegiance to the democracy by James G. Maine while a good many of the old line Know-Nothing wiiigs, who adhered to the republican party because it seemed to them to be most distinc tively American, are becoming and continuing to be democrats. I.a.-t year, for the first time in the recol lection of the oldest inhabitant, the republicans in the Mnth ran an Irishman for congress. All old New Yorkers who know what tile political character of the Ninth wanl was will appreciate thi radical change. During the Know Nothing days the Ninth was the Know-Nothing banner ward. In ISfiO it cast for the Know-Nothing candidate for nia or L'.MKJ votes, against 13)0 for the democratic and 8.10 for the republican candidate The nomination of Blaine and Cleveland in 18S4 revived the old spirit in many of these Know Nothings who find joineu the re publican party. Mr. Blaine's broad Americanism naturally repelled them iust as it attracted thousands who had hitherto acted with the democratic party. What has happened in the Ninth ward of New York has been repeated in many other parts of the country I he nomination ot .Mr. Hlaine in made thousands vote the re publican ticket who had up to that time been staunch supporters of the democracy. If he should be nominated again next year history will be sure to repeat itself so far as democratic defection is concerned His nomination would lead to even a greater democratic stampede than was caused by his candidacy seven years ago. Thousands of demo crats who could not be induced then to vote for him would be only too willing next year to help in th work of placing in the White House the greatest of living Americans. Irish World. 3 TOWwvaawnni mim mmmi r XZlX&Soi Zfioq The good editor of the New York Post who has been weeping for a year over the advance in prices that would surely be caused by the new tariff bill, is seeking cover with re markable agility if not with grace. He is now trying to show that low prices are an actual evil, and are caused often by protection "But what we would draw particu lar notice to," he says, "is that this reduction of priced is exactly what foreign manufacturers have alwaj-s resorted to whenever we have adopted a protective tariff, thus neutralizing all attempts to foster America's industry." The The Ex tariff is a tax, of course. foreign manufacturers pay it. THE Democrats predict that they will carry Kentucky in next week's election. A few years ago the De mocrats of that State didn't take the trouble to make predictions. A few years hence perhaps the Texas Democracy will drop to the predict ing stage. Ex. DUKING the last fiscal year 5oo,4G immigrants arrived at our ports, an increase of 104,277 over preceeding year. It is likely that some of these people will make good and useful citizens, but as for the majorty of them, there is reason to believe that they are in no respect desirable. Ex. COL. Polk, the President of the .National CjAlliance, denounces Cleveland and declares that the farmers can not vote for him under any circumstances. This is one of several strong reasons why the De mocratic party is casting about for somebody else to place at the head fe,?tff itH ticket next year. Ex. THE stand the democrats have taken on the McKinley reciprocitv aw is sufficient to damn that party ind relegate it to the rear for the next four years, the theory that our people would take the taritt ott of sugar providing the Brazilians would take their export duty from cottee, hides and some other com modities, needs but to be mentioned before intelligent business men to be decided as a great boon for the nited States; yet the democratic party is on record as a vigorous op ponent of this very policy. Even the immaculate Bryan that was going to override democratic can cuses in order to protect his dis trict howls the same strain against the reciprocity clause of the Mc Kinley bill that his hard-headed, unpatriotic brother does in Mis sissippi. One might suppose, with out deranging his mental equili brium, that Bryan would try to represent the best interests of his constituents when they are plainly manifest; but such is not the case nn . . . . . . r . iiibKb are iwo species oi me genus "mosso uemocratique party in Chicago; one belongs to the Carter Harrison faction and the other to the Cregier. The feeling that exists between the two wings of the old organization is reported as very bitter. This would in- aicate inat me nonest tax-yayer in Chicago might yet have a chance to live without being robbed, since theTammany democracy of spoils and plunder can not' win except 1- 1!JI.. A 1 ' A TRUE SAMPLE. It was none other than the chair man ot the Aational democratic Committee, Senator Calvin Brice of Ohio, that is employing and leasing state convicts down in Ten nessee and crowding out honest labor at his coal mines. Twenty- five hundred miners were up in arms and the governor called out the militia. But your leading and representative democrat, Mr. Brice, did not withdraw his convicts. No, sir; the honest toiler that had worked for the democratic chairman before the convicts were obtained might starve now for till the humane Brice cared. This incident, coming from their leader of leaders, shows very clearly the attitude of that party on the labor question Honeyed phrases are one thing and cold, calculating robbery of the sons of toil is quite another. Had the republican chairman, or even a less prominent member of that party, been guilty of Mr. Brice's crimes thw democratic press would have grown red in the face with indignation at the in justice done to honest labor; but now, it's all different, you know, and not a word comes up from the democratic cohorts until they are goaded to it by the jibes of repub lican criticism. The meek and low ly Schurmann, of the Journal, is a great friend ot labor (in his mind) but he has not yet seen fit to con demn the heartless onator. from Ohio, whose chief delight seems to rest in grinding down labor and in reducing his men to the status of ELMWOOD ITEMS. FROM THE ECHO. John and Will Current went west last Thursday morning. They will take in Kenesaw, Beaver City, and other Nebraska points and maj- go on to Denver before they return. Maj or Richeyof Plattsmouth was an Elmwood visitor last Saturday and Sunday. He came up to ac company his daughter, Mrs. Frank Dickson, home, who has been the guest of the tamilj' of A. B. Dickson for two weeks. Silas Greenslate who used to own a water melon patch and a bull-dog in Iowa, is having constructed for the world's fair a log-cabin bed quilt containing 1'701 pieces. The block are relics of boy's pants pried out of the jaws of the bull -dog during the years that Silas was general manager of the melon patch. NEW LUMBER YAAR I.
