F. J. MOUGAN and W. J. Bryan are
among the national delegates who will
knock at the door of the national con
vention for admission, if tho gold bugs
are not too numerous.

of the president has been bouucod out

parishioners of G rover would gladly

For shame! Tho democrats in state
convention yesterday at Lincoln cora-
mited a very cowardly crime, which,
under the statutes, is ailed petit lar
ceny. They stole, without leave or
license, the "referendum" of the pop
ulists and "imperative mandate'" which
they had a clear copyright on. If the
party of Bryan can't get up anything
original, it should at least give credit
to those from whom it purloins its
platforms.
OUU Blathew Gennjr became so in
toxicated with the silver tinsel and
argentiferous atmosphere in the dem
ocratic state convention yesterday at
Lincoln that he fairly made the welk
in ring with his eloquent description
of the beauties of 16 to 1 coupled with
a diatribe on the animadversions and
idiosvneracies of tho immaculate
Giover, that delighted the followers
of Bryan in a manner that was beauti
ful to contemplate.
There ought to bo a meeting called
of the Cass county postmasters in or
der that some of the boys might be
disciplined and brought into line. The
Mynard nasby, Col. Draper, is out
gunning for the gold-bugs with all the
zeal of a Colorado mine owner. In
fact, the colonel is so vigorous in his
efforts to help the silver mine owners
that some people believe ho has great
Quantities of bullion stored away in
his cellar awaiting tho rise in price
The pure food law now in force in
Philadelphia has developed the fact
that numerous groceries are selling
coffee in which there is no trace of
coffee, and mincemeat in which meat
is entirely lacking. Tricks of tnis
kind are severely punished in Eng
land, but in America they are carried
on to a shameful extent. Legislators
would stop this cheating if they were
not more deeply interested in snial
politics than in tho protection of the
rights and health of the community,
Ex.
The highest honor that can be paid
any ecomomic system is that which
paid to the protective system in the
fact that after thirty years' experience
we have cheapened every manufac
tured product and our labor has held
its own. The manufactured article
seems to have gone down in price, bu
the ware that the workman receives
has not been reduced. Match that
you can. Free-trade cheapens the ar
tide bv cheapenincr the artisan, i'ro-
,
tection cheapens the article by elevat
ing the artisan. Hon. Wm. McKinley,
It looks as though Cass county
would be specially honored this year
by the sending of prominent repre
sentatives of the several parties to
have a say in the making of tha next
president of this great nation. II. N.
Dovey will represent the republicans
and, from present appearances, F.
Morgan will represent the democrats
with a chance (which will swell hi
heart almost to suffocation) to vote fo
his ideal statesman, in whom an ad
mixture of the best elements of Geo.
Washington, Patrick Henry and
Thomas Jefferson are supposed to be
found. M. S. Bricrgs, the strongest
squp.rest populist leader in the county
will more than likely be selected ns a
delegate to the national pop conven
tion to be held in St. Louis in July
In this way Cass stands well up to the
front where she belongs.
That W. J. Bryan is a candidate
for the presidential nomination is no
lnntrfip a secret, if tho silver wing of
the party should dominato in Chicago.
The latter presumption is not a vio
lent one. either, in the face of the
facts as shown on the surface at this
time. Mr. Bryan has not the depth
of character that Bland has nor tho
Bolid ability. He i3 moro of the soda-
pop, or sky-rocket order of statesmen,
who make much noise, but are not
without their uses. As a student in
phrase-making, posing and oratorical
tricks generally, Mr. Bryan has shown
himself to be quite apt, his succoss in
these lines being truly phenominal.
He is now staking his political life on
the party supremacy of free silver; if
he wins, he gains much, if ho loses,
he loses the heights he has been
jears in attaining. The result of the
war in the democratic ranks will,
therefore, remain of special interest
to all Nebraskans.
ENGLAND'S UNSATISFACTORY OUTLOOK.
Englishmen appreciate the fact that
tho Gorman tariff's lease of life is
limited. In tho Manchester Courier
and Lancashire General Advertiser
of November 7, 1S95, we find tho fol
lowing, says the American Economist:
'A significant feature of tho elec
tion is that, not only do the republican
victories foreshadow a republican
president next year, but they render
it probably that tho Wilson tariff will,
in tho near futuro, give place lo one
of a more stringently protective char
acter. This result is especially
pointed to by tho election in Ohio, the
home of Mr. McKinley. Tho tariff
question entered largely into the
electioneering issues, the democrats
supporting tho Wilson bill, tho repub
licans asking for further protection,
and the candidate of tho latter party
was elected by a la go majority. For
tho first time, Utah takes part as a
state in the election, and tho tide of
republican victory has reached
ts far as Salt Lake City. The victory
of Tammany Hall is not a matter upon
which the United States can bo com
plimented, and the prospect of an un
avoidable revision of the Wilson tariff
is one which is not satisfactory to our
sclvea" PROTECTION FOR AMERICAN HAY.
Farmers are appealing to congress
for increased protection for their hay.
Thousands of petitions have been in
circulation in the. country in tho past
few weeks, signed by hundreds of thou
sands of farmers, asking congress to
increaso tho duty on hay, because of
the enormous increase in the importa
tions of hay, mostly from Canada, since
tho repeal of the McKinley law
Tho rate of duty on hay under tho Mc
Kinley tariff was $4 per ton. In the
year following the enactment of that
law, the importations of hay dropped
from 125.000 tons to 2i),(i00 tons. The
Wilson law reduced the duty to $2 per
ton, and tho result has been an enor
mous increaso in tho importations of
day, amounting to 373, S(0 tons. Thus
nearly $2,000,01)0 has left the country
for the benefit of foreigners, which
ought to have enriched the wealth of
farmers in the United States
Cass has just two more candidates
left, and wo are assured that they are
easy winnors. bince the democrats
emulated the excellent example set by
tho republicans in the selection of II
N. Dovey as delegate to their national
convention by tho selection of F. J.
Morgan yesterday as a delegate to
their national convention, we only in
a spirit of becoming modesty ask that
tho populists endorse Milo S. Driggs
as a national delegate from this dis
trict, and the prohibitionists to send
our old Iriend, I'erry uass, as their
national representative. Old Cass has
been doing herself proud this year
and if a few moro bosses whoso jeal
ousy has always retarded us can be
killed off the county will be an every
dajT winner.
The Third district congressional
convention will meet at Norfolk to
morrow to select two delegates to the
St. Louis con vention. When this con
vention finishes its business Nebraska's
lielegation will bo complete. It will
consist of sixteen McKinley men, all
of them except two chosen outside the
terms of the Omaha compromise in
the second district, instructed for
McKinley. This delegation will not
attract so much attention from the
managers as it would if it wero unin
structed and uncertain in its loyalty
but it will have tho prestige of occu
pying a front seat in tho band wagon
That will compensate somewhat for
the loss of attention from tho anti-Mc
Kinley syndicate. Stale Journal.
Of COUiise tho Suez canal is a great

canal,' which was open last year 'only
231 days, passed d uing that time 12,'

INFORMATION AM) OPINION.
J. W. Cattern, poet laureate of Iowa,
wrftes from Iowa that tho Associated
press has done him an injury. It re
ported that he was sent to jail for six
months at Tacoma for grand larceny.
The facts are that Mr. Cattern landed
in Ogden, Utah, in January last, where
ho sold a job lot of "Sengs of Summer"
to one J. W. Collins, whom he gave in
structions in the art of selling tho
books without being killed for it. Mr J
Collins went to Tacoma, where ho
posed as the author of 'S of S," and
offered to sell his wares at less than
cost. Business proved slack and he
took to larceny as the easiest way out
of his troubles. In poiico court he
gave his name as J. W. Cattern, of
Iowa, and is serving his sentence as
such, which is a great injustice to a
man who has committed no crime for
which he deserves moro punishment
than his own conscience has already
Inflicted upon him. The real J. W.
Catlern was at Austin, Tex., when ho
received tho sad news that ho was in
jail at Tacoma, and ho now desires tho
press of this continent to set him
right before tho world; to vindicate his
integrity, which is all he has left that
is marketable in the present dull and
unsatisfactory condition of commerce.

THERE IS NO NATIONAL HOLIDAY
Not Even the Labor Day Act Creates On
Say the Lawyers.
There would seem to bo no such thing
in this couutry as a national holiday.
Lawyers assert that even Labor day.
Nvhich was set apart by act of congreM
in 1894 in such manner as to lead the
confiding layman to suppose it at least
to be a national holiday, is not such
ontside of the District of Columbia un
less by state enactment. The creation
and regulation of holidays have been
left entirely to the legislatures of the
individual states.
The act of congress concerning Labor
day was approved June 28, 1894. It pro
vides "that the first Monday of Septem
ber in each year, being the day cele
brated and known as Labor day, is
bcreby made a legal holiday, to all in
tents and purposes, in the same manner
as Christmas, Jan. 1, Feb. 22, May 80
and July 4 are now made by law public
holidays.
Clearly the proper construction cf
this statute can be arrived at only by
reference to the provisions bearing upon
the other holidays named. The act mak
ing holidays of Jan. 1, July 4, Christ
mas and "any day appointed or recom
mended by the president of the United
States as a day of public fast or thanks
giving" was passed in June, 1870, and
was restricted in its offoct to the Dis
trict of Columbia. These days are holi
days in tho various states only as they
are made so by tho various state legis
latures.
The act of Jan. 81, 1879, makes Fob.
22 a legal holiday, and the act of Aug.
31, 1888, does the same for May 30,
and both are restricted in their applica
tion to the District of Columbia. The
act referring to Labor day says nothing
about the District of Columbia, but it
does say that the first Monday of Sep
tember Bhall be a legal holiday, "to all
Intents and purposes, in the same man
ner aa Christmas, Jan. 1, Feb. 22, May
80 and July 4 are now made by law
public holidays."
The intents and purposes for which
and the maimer in which thoodays are
made holidays aro expressly limited tu
tho District of Columbia, and so, by
necessary inference, is the act referring
to Labor day.
The misleadhig language of tho Labor
day act has led ton prevalent statement
that the first Monday ef Septemlier i a
holiday throughout the United States
by congressional enactment. New York

PRANKS OF SCOTTISH FAIK.ES.
A Firm Ittlief In the "Fair Folk" Sti'.t
Lingers.
There still lingers a widespread belief
in tho north of Scotland that tho "fair
folk, "or "gweed ncebors," as tho fairies
are called, still live in tho hills, and
during the first days of convalescence a
mother must bo zealously guarded lest
one of the "wee people" come and rob
ho child of its nourishment. Some
times they succeed in carrying off thw
mother. Here is one of the superstitious
legends :
A north country fisher had a fine
child. One evening a beggar woman
entered tho hut and went up to the
cradlo to gaze into tho eyes of the bah 8.
From that tinio good health left it, and
a 6trango look came into its face, and
the mother was troubled. An old man
begging for food passed that way. When
ho caught sight of the child, lie cried:
"That's nao a bairu. It's an image,
and tho gweed folk has stoun his
speerit. "
Thereupon ho set to work to recall
iho fisher 's bairn. A peat firo was heaped
high on the hearth nid a black hen held
over it at such a distance that it wat
singed and not killed. After eomo strug
gling tho hen escaped up the lum. A
few moments elapsed, and then the par
ents were gladdened by the sight of a
happy expression once more on th
child's face. It throve from that day
forward. Scottish Review.
A Dog Parse Snatcker.
Pointer degs can always be trained to
steal. Many of them are natural thieves
without training, and anj of the species
can be taught. There is a dog of this
kind in northwest Washington. He will
pick up anything he can find around a
yard or outside of a 6tore, but his spe
cialty is ladies' pocketbooks and hand
bags. When he sees one of those, he
grabs it and runs, always succeeding in
getting out of sight before he can be
captured or followed. No owner has
ver been seen, hence no complaints
have been made at police headquarters,
but there is but little doubt, if it were
possible to follow the animal, that it
would be found that he has been care
fully trained as a purse enatcher and
that he takes his booty home to his
master. He seems to be aware that ho is
doing wrong, jumping fences and dodg
ing around houses when running away

An Old Colonial Blockhouse.
Among tho attractions of the town of

These cellars lie side by side, and the
structures bnilt over them were filled
wtth goods so necessary for the comfort
of tho early pilgrims as well as the
Dutch. The pilgrims needed manufac
tured goods such as tho Hollander had
for sale and thb Dutch required prod
