We would give a great deal more to read a book written by Tom Wat son than to read one written by Wil liam Jennings Bryan, and we believe a major portion of the people share in tbe'same opinion. Besides having a cotton mill Kear ney has an oat meal factory that is now turning out 100 barrels of oat meal every day. This is the sort of factory that would make money for its owner and a mearket for grain if erected in this city. In the opinion of the republican state central committee, Nebraska this year raised the biggest crop of prevaricators ever before known in the history of the state. It is the only way we can account" for the slump of Senator Thurston's 60,000 tepublican majority and Chairman Post's 30,000 republican majority to a populist vie tory of almost equal dimensions. IN the grand rush for the populist pie counter the cheerful face of Bill Dech, the pioneer populist is painfully missing. Bill, however, has one con solation that is worth mure than all the pie in enristendon, he really helped to save the country, and while through his efforts McKinley has not succeeded in Nebraska, yet Bill's head was right and his efforts were in the right direction. The newspapers with one accord since the clash of comets and boom of Nebraska populism, are inquiring what has become of John L. Webster Mr. "Webster seems to have joined Adlai Stevenson in an effort to hide from nublic view. We ooine that John L. is only resting from the wor ry and vicissitudes of the late un pleasantness in Nebraska and that he will be with us soon, wearing the be spangled vest and full of his old time vigor. Alfred BARgTOW of Chadron is said to be a candidate for the position of United States consul to Melbourne Australia, to succeed Bartlett Trip. This is a trip we had slated for one of our Cass county statesmen and we see no necessity to go all the way up to Chadron to find a good man when Plattsmouth is over-running with genuine patriots. Fred Dorrinerton of the same town, whom everybody down this wav knows, is a candidate for the United States marshalship Fred would make an ideal officer, bu in the words of the poet, "There are others." "WnAT shall we do with our girls,' has been a subject of discussion fo years, but it has entirely disappeared from popocraiic circles and its place is taken by "What shall we do with Bry an." We believe that if he would study Spanish and become a Spanish orator he might go to Mexico and pre side over a republic that would be to his liking. Of course there are no plutocrats in Mexico, bcciuse they have free coinage of silver. Poverty, delicious pover-tv' is the common al lotment down that way, but we have heard of some gigantic fortunes there, just the same, as a result of mining ventures. Billy might hunt up some of these old "plutes" and knock 'em out. Auditor-elect Cornell shows the right kind of spirit. He resides at the little town of Verdon, which is not much larger than Mynard, yet he has selected lrom this town C. W. Pool as deputy, John W. Simpson as bond clerk and Samuel Leighty as in surance deputy. A man who will not stand up for his personal friends is not much of a man. We are not ac quainted with Mr. Cornell, but we confess his style suits us. Most men after having been accidentally elected to office take to spreading out all over the state and appointing strangers to good offices on the theory of political policy, while the friends who have been faithful and true arej left to feed on husks and disappointments. Brother Cornell show the right spirit, and we stop the press to offer con gratulations. IX printing a statement of fact TnE NEWS always tries to be absolutely cor rect: we find, however, in the matter of the water company case at Omaha we were somewhat in error. We find from the record, that Sirs Chapman and Sullivan did not withdraw the case as they reported here, but on the contrary the federal court there dis missed their bill. The petition for re ceiver, etc., occurred as mas stated, and unless the city can again have the ease knocked out of the federal r i f 1 1 i 1 . J5 . CQUrCfc ttE will De muiciu lor heavy attorney fees, as it is the prac tice in the federal court to allow at ti. to torney lees ior piaintin s attorney against defendant when judgment goes against defendant. In this mat ter we have never believed the city's liability to pay the bill could be seri ously questioned. In any event a judg- men t for the major part of the claim would be allowed in any court. . Major McKinley and General Prosperity seem to be two titled gentlemen who are very closely re lated. The talk about Mr. Pingree of Michigan weakening the state ticket by his candidacy for governor turned out very differently, his vote being a few thousand larger than McKinley . Henry George says this republic is a sham, and since we recall Henry's predictions about how Bryan would carrv the country, we are forced to believe that Henry is something of a sham himself. Buffalo Bill will be ring-master at the great charity circus in Omaha next week. The late Wm. J. Bryan, who held a similar position in the cir Mia a tA!ip Ren. has setusea 10 piay n j i - retun engagement. L. C. BATEMAN, the populist nom nee for governor in Maine, has re covered his sanity, and 6tates publicly that the silver issue is dead, and that the populists will never try to resur rect it again. Bully for Bateman. Another hydia-headed trust has anneared in Chicaco. It is said that nine-tenths of the Chicago street or rans are owned and operated by ont concern, u ne blind man ana ine man with a palsied arm are working on a salary for this monopoly. Our silver friends should at once take steps to crush ii. out. A COMMON fist fight is no longer sufficiently exciting for a Kentucky audience. A man who seems to com prehend public sentiment down there has arranged u fight at Huntington between a colored pugilist named Johnson and a black be ir, the bear to be muzzled. Money has been liberly posted on the result of the bout, and Kentuckians .who "do not like a nitrgah acy how" are very willing to put ud money that Bruin will best dark complexioned competitor. hi The world's wheat erop of 1805 is estimated by one auihority at 2,509,- 000,000 bushels and the crop of 1S9G at 2,365,000,000 bushels. The decline is less than 6 per cent, but it wipes out the surplus and advances in price 50 per cent. An increase in consump tion will act upon prices in the same way, while a stinted consumption the consumption of population in part idle will take the edge off the mar ket for every product, and make the narrow margin of difference between "good limes" and "hard times." Ex ANOTHER legal farce has been en acted at Lincoln. Suit was brought by the state of Nebraska against the bondsmen of Oil Inspector Hilton for the sum of $5,000, which Hilton had kept that belonged to the state. The testimony was sufficient to convince an ordinary individual that judgment ought to have been promptly rendered against Mr. Hilton and his bondsmen. After the jury h d been out twenty four hours on the case, the jurors finally came into court and declared they could not agree eight standing in favor of the state's claim and four holding out for Hilton. Lincoln courts already have an unsavory reputation in the state, and this Hilton suit will in no wise lessen it. What had the supply of money to do with the stagnation that prevailed before election ? Dun's agency counts over 700 establishments which have either started from idleness or in creased their forces 6ince theelection. and money, instead of growing scarcer and dearer under these new demand?. growg dailv easier amd cheaper. The starting up of industries is evidently not exhausting the supply of money. And if there is money enough to start them there is money enough to keep them going. They will not shut down from a lack of money in the country, for the use of money does not consume it. Money in trade does not pass like water over the wheel and then away forever. It is not like coal under the boiler, which can bo burned but once Money goes out by tho pay roll, down to the merchant and bacK to thr fac- torry to make the same trip again. THE Hon. Arthur Sewall, who an nounces his belief that "the financial platform of the next democratic (pop ocraiic) national convention will be practically the same as that of this year," couples with the expression of that belief a confession which shows the main source of the silver agita tion, aside from the artifical impulse given to it by the owners of silver mines, says the New York Sun. "Should there be four years of pros perity," 6aid Mr. Sewall, "I am in clincd to think that free silver would not be the issue, because the improved condition would seems to obviate the necessity of a change." That is, only let hard times continue, give us plenty of disaster and make us suffi ciently miserable and we may become desperate enough to vote for the free coinage of silver. Gold is all right in prosperity, but if only everything will go to smash, the people will turn to silver. So the prayer of the silver agitators is for calamity. The more of it there is, the merrier they are, and the brighter are their prospects. They set a bait for disappointment and despair. Prosperity is veritable poison to them. Jerry Simpson, the Kansas popo craiic philosopher, says the business revival now beginning is being com menced at the wrongr end. "There is no use in starting up the mills," he says, "uLtil the people are able to buy goods." Who does be mean by the people ? Hertofore when he said "people" he meant farmers, but it cannot be the farmers, for they have not been out or work p.nd they are not empty handed. They have raised two immense crops in the last two years, and their granaries are full to over flowing. As soon as the farmer can find a purchaser for his products he will bay, and buy liberally. It is evi dent to a. man who thinks, that the remady for hard times must be ap plied in a way that will increase con sumption. The laboring men wno are idle and the sleeping wheels of the factories must work in unison; then the farmer's products will be in demand, and with increased demand comes increased prices. We have every confidence in the fact that pros perity can come in no other way than the one advocated by the republican party. Proof has already been fur nished by the starting of factories and employment of men all over the east where we must seek a market for our surplus if we have a market at alL Vessels were chartered Saturday for the export of a half million bushels of wheat and the good work bids fair to continue. In return for the wheat we are getting some of the erold which went out to pay the b.il ;nce of trade against us Inst year The fact tnat corn remains low is a very unfortunate for Nebraska, that being our cnief crop, while but little wheat is raised. It certainly looks, however, as if corn must go higher soon if wheat continues its upward tendencv. THE price of wheat last week was just 4G cents per bushel higher than it was on the first of last June. The farmer wno has bad wheat to sell is .11 right, but iho farmer who fed it to his hogs last summer is all wrong. INFORMATION AND OPINIONS. Br yan expects to make a big fortune out of his book and lectures. Will he then be a plutocrat or one of "the masses." Quincy Whig. An exchange says that a Lincoln woman who banked in her stocking, broke a garter and lost $50 in her ef fort to catch a street c :r. It was a lively run on the bank and it broke. Christmas comes first, but the meet ing of the state teachers' association is looked forward to with greater pleas ure. The school ma'ams are sweeter than Santa Ciaus or Claus Spreckles. Bixbv. The twenty-fifth session of the state legislature will convene on Tuesday, January 5. The inauguration occurs on the Thursday following. Eggs got so high during the recent cold snap that Carlisle could with safety have rnado a speech in any town in Kentucky. The hoodlum ele ment couldn't put up the price. The elegant residence of Hon. John C. Watson of Nebraska City was al most completely consumed by fire at an early hour yesterday morning. The residence was one of the handsomest and best furnished in this part of the state, and the loss included a great many things of such personal worth as to preclude an estimate of the real loss. Mr. and Mrs. Watson were both away from home at the time. An insurance policy for $15,000 will go far toward paying the financial loss sustained, but it wouid take several times that amount to pay the actual loss which Mr. and Mrs. Watsou have suffered. Their friends in this city express sympathy and sincere regret at their misfortune. The silvcrcrat press is now making a fight on Nebraska's floral emblem. tne golden rod, claiming it is a breeder of disease. One learned editor says it has been known to give a man the hay fever ten feet away, and numerous other bad stories are circulated to cast the harmless golden rod into disrepute. It was alt right until it took a baud in tbe last cam paign as chief floral insignia for sound money, and now in certain quarters it has tost caste. 1 nese soured uemo- ci atic editors have lingered too long at the prune pie table. Tbe final hearing of the Bouacum case in the ecclesiastical court resulted in another slap at the late Sam Chap man's couit. His every theory of the case was overturned and Bishop Bonacum was assessed to pay a heavy penalty as damages. E. F. W arren, rather Fitzgerald's attorney, who was given such a cold shoulder in Chapman's court had tbe pleasure of seeing his theory of the case fully sus tained. Only two railways operating in Kan sas paid a dividend this year, and they were the Burlington and Hock Island. Mr. Rosewater has intimated that he will not pay Colonel Hitchcock $7, 000 in full for the latter's judgment against the Bee. With a cold winter coming on, this is very unfair and dis courteous treatment of a fellow crafts man on the pait of Mr. Rosewater, which all newspaper men will con demn. Following is a society item in the Bancroft Blade: "Married, by Rev. W. A. Gait, at his home, in the pres ence of a few friends, on Nov. 4th, Mr. Joseph Hamilton and Miss Ta-sah-wa White. The groom is a son of Sin-da-ha-ha and tbe bride is a daughter of Sage White." A strange evangelist is in Louisville preaching the end of the world in 189S. He has the whole scheme figured out from Biblical prophesies. Well, what of it? Suppose, the preacher were correct. Life is but a span; it brings weariness and care to more than it brings happiness. What difference would a few years sooner or a few years later make? It might even be taken as comforting to go off in the rush and confusion of the end of all things rather than starting out on the mysterous journey compara tively alone. If tbe end of all things comes in 1898 kicking can't binder it. and if it doesn't come we are no worse off for having been warned. The philosophical citizen takes every day life as it happens; he can afford to take the end of the world in the same easy manner. Ex. Smith Brothers' bank, the First National at Beatriee, it Is said will re sume shortly with plenty -of money. This is good news for the town on the Blue. Ambassador Bayard was foro:d to decline his English Christmas pres ent that the London Telegraph was securing for him, as his American friends think him more English than American. The Burlington management did not wait for a suit to be brought by the heirs of the traveling man killed by the special train a few weeks ago, but promptly tendered tbe amount of their legal liability fixed by statute at $5,000, and tbe matter is being settled up in the probate court. Thursday afternoon at theHavelock shops Charles Holmstrom was cali pering a locomotive drive wheel, Fore man Saberhagen assisting. Unnoticed by either of them a cylinder fell, catching the tips of Mr. Saberhagen's fingers and crushing Mr. Hom9trom's left arm beneath it. The bones of and around the wrist are mashed and grave fears are entertained that the arm will have to be amputated. Mr. Holmstrom Is the son-in-law of Coun cilman Bibby. Havelock Times. The Atchison Globe editor says that eating rapidly is a9 bad as whisky for making the nose red. It naturally follows that the editor of the Globe must, be a very rapid eater, and the carmine complexion of his nose is thus satisfactorily explained. Racine, is., is the first city to equip a fire department with bicycles It is claimed more efficient work and better time can be made under the new system than can bo accomplished any other way. Kokomo, Ind., is all stirred up over the nightly raids of a burglar with a no rr 1 r rr rTiY r w-ts-hl 1 4?rwl Vila fsxn prints the next morning while the householder figures up the amount of his missing jewelry. If the officers would quit looking for a man with a wooden leg and look for a fellow who carries a stick which he straps on bis knee to walk with on his nightly rounds, they might come nearer find ing their man. It looks like a very simple trick, but from reports it has worked wonderfully well in Kokomo GRANTED A NEW TRIAL. The l'lattsiuouth Hoys la Jail In Omaha Get a New Trial. Sirs Matthew Gering and Lee Es- telle, on the part of the defendants. George Hall and William May all, ar gued a motion for a new trial Satur day before Judge Barker in Omaha. Their motion was sustained and a new trial granted. The News has never believed the boys were guilty of the offense charged and shall certainly expect to see them cleared at the new hearing. Klllled a Doe. Some hunters over in Sarpy county killed a fine black tail deer in a brush path near the river and within a mile and a half of this city one day last week. It was a beauty and weighed 175 pounds. Its tracks hive been seen in that neighborhood for the past two years and it is supposed to have come down the river on a cake of ice. This is the second one killed in this neighborhood in the past five years. Louisville Courier. I anners Institute at Union. Arrangements are being made for holding a Farmers' Institute at Union December 17, IS and 10, and by request of some of the farmers C. L. Graves has taken charge of the arrangements arm is engaging speakers and papers for the occasion.

The longest star mail service in the United States has just been estab lished from Juneau to Circle City, a distance of 80S miles. This recalls the story of the Irishman who was un dergoing a ci"il service examination Tor the position of letter carrier. One of the questions was, "How far is it from New York to Constantinople'!"'

The fac-simile signature of Children Cry for INTERESTING CLUB MEETING. Art Department of th Woman's t'lul M-et With Mrs. Walker. Friday evening Mrs. Walker's homo was again filled with the members of the Plattsmouth Woman's club inter ested in art. The usual buinc.- v;is disposed of and the program tukt ii up by Mrs. Snyder, the leader, who was unable, owing to a severe cold, to give her talk on cemetery improvement, as had been arranged. The first paper was read by Mi&s Maude Foxwell, her subject being "The Great Writers of the Period and their Influence Upon Art." Mir-s Foxwell reads in a clear sweet, voice which is very pleasing. Her paper showed much study and was appre ciated by her hearers. This was fol lowed by a short paper, ''The In llueticu of the Medici Upon Art." A paper, "Fra Angelico," by Mis. Wise, abounded in originality and wit and showed careful study of the sub ject. It was read in a graceful m:i li ner and was much enjoj-ed. Miss Carrie Holloway followed with a well written paper, Masaccio." Her papers are always appreciated and show a knowledge of the subject at hand. Tho following ptcm written by Isa bel Richey, "God's Picture," was beautifully read by Mrs. Stoutenbor ough, Mrs. Richey being detained at home by illness. Life is a picture, changing ev'ry minute. Painted anew upon its canvas. Time, God is the artist, we the ligures in it. Gathered at will from ev'ry land and clime. What it has been we read upon the pages. Order from chaos fulfilled His design. Crimson and grey clad warriors and sages Battle and death, the restfulness benign. What it now is we gaze with eyes unseeing. Sense is bewildered by its many themes. Heroes and kings ! He calls them into being Heroes and kings ! They fade again to dreams. What it will be. Ah. God In Heaven knowetli. When at the last His picture is complete. Yet we believe whatever he bestoweth. Of light or shade, our portrait shall be s-weet. The Toledo Weekly lilatle.
