' Billy Bbyan sheuld begin a cam
paign against the Klondykers who
promise to make gold so cheap as to
disturb the ratio and put an -end to
the silver crusade.
The diminutive tail of the demopop
dog known as "silver republican" pro
poses to have a supreme judge, and
Judge Scott of Omaha has been sprung
as their candidate. Scott's boom will
probably not develop into anything
serious.
When Tom Watson demands a
leader for the populist party who is a
populist and one who puts principle
above office it may be set down as be
yond question that he has not Wil
liam Jennings Bryan in this mind's
eye. Bee. -
The supreme court has again dis
tinguished itself by saving Baitley
from the penitentiary until a hearing
of the technicalities in hia case are
heard in the court of last resort If
any Nebraskans are proud of this
order, let them stand up and explain
why a big thief is better than a small
one, and why he is entitled to more
courtesy. '
- People talk, talk on the money
question, trying to keep the enthusi
asm up to the old mark of last year's
campaign, bat it won't work. The
frieods of silver are talking their
hobby to death. No subject will
stand eternal discussing.and especially
when the discussers don't know what
they are discussing about. Beatrice

The most gorgeous troop, at the
Logan monument event in Chicago
last week, came from Nebraska, and
was none other than Gov. Holcomb
and staff. The eastern folks were
surprised to see such gaudy display
from populist leaders, and had they
known that the whole party went to
Chicago on passes given by the soul
less corporations, they would have
been paralyzed.
The Bee and World-Herald are be
ing "worked? systematically to boom
Sam Chapjnan1JTjii8ia.aU.yery wK,
"aiuce none of the republican papers in
his home county can be induced to
undertake such a job of flim-flamming
the people where he is too well known.
He is welcome to his cheap advertis
ing abroad, though it is quite are flec
tion on the Bee and World-Herald
in this county.
The democratic press is gleefully
calling attention to the disintegration
of the populist party, which, in the
opinion of the bourbon editors, means
great things for the future of democ
racy. The swallowing of populists is
no longer a secret, but is . boldly pro
claimed as the only thing to da Aug
ust 2, at Weeping Water, is the time
and place where the Cass county de
mocracy is expected to finish popu
lism. The conspicuously able World-Herald
is now putting out big headlines
announcing that "up goes the cost of
living" on account of the new tariff
bill. Last fall the trouble was low
prices, caused by the iniquitous sin
gle standard. The popocrats are pre
paring to make a short turn to con
duct their next campaign against
"high prices" caused by the iniquit
ous Din gley ' tariff. Nothing will
exactly suit them until they get con
trol of the offices. State Journal.
The coal strike is Btill on and seems
to be extending a little in the West
Virginia field. The intelligent strike
reporter continues to talk about the
low wages of 69 cents per ton, but he
fails to say whether a man can take
out one ton or ten. If the latter
amount could be mined, $6.90 per day
would be pretty fair wages these dull
times and we have seen coal which
could be taken out that rapidly. If
the correspondent wants us to shed
sympathy for the miner, let him show
what money he earns per day.
, EASTERN editor wrote Governor
Holcomb to explain how and why Ne
braska had paid off $28,000,000 of its
indebtedness. - The editor had refer
ence to farm mortgages, but Holcomb,
' in a cheap effort to be smart, said Ne-
braska (meaning the Btate) only owed
$2,000,000, and then proceeded to work
up a demo-pop stump speech. There
was nothing brilliaut or smart in what
he said, or in his effort to dodge the
question which was put to him in good
faith. Some of the Nebraska demo
cratic organs are jubilant over the
matter, thinking that the general
public is not intelligent enough to see
the real point. We have noticed that
when a party presumes on the ignor
ance of th other fellows, it generally
gets pretty badly left, and the gover
nor and bis crowd show unmistakeable
signs of political dissolution.

During the t'ial of the case of the
city of Omaha against the water com
pany, an expert chemist from Chi
cago testified that he found in the
water only a few specimens of the
Titanotherium robustum, part of the
caudels, the cuygold navicular and
cuniforms of the pos, various frag
ments of the calcaneum and astraga
lus of the robustura's old chum, the
metamynoden planifrons and some
isolated epeci mens of the vermicular
ros and senocular gycloids. It would
be well for visitors, to the Trans-Mis

little "mountain dew" and a club so
as to be able to et.u.u any thow from

day on account of accidents. One of

Law Notes tells a story of a young
lawyer who asked a country justice
for a capias. The justice did not
know a capias from a police cell, but
be disliked to admit his ignorance. So
he said: "Now see here my friend,
you are a youn lawyer, and I fear
lack experience. . I would advise you
not to be too hasty. Don't be in a
burr-.. Wait twenty-four hours, and
then, if you think best, come to me
and I will give you a capias." The
young lawyer agreed and went away.
The justice spent the remainder of the
day getting acquained with the writ
called capias. When the limb of the
law appeared the next morning the
court felt itself qualified to issue
capiases by the bushel. Before he
cou'.d speak the young lawyer said:
"Mr. Justice, you wero right; I was
too hasty. I have to thank you for the
good advice, and also have brought
you the $2 fee you would have received
for the capias, as I don't want you to
lose anything by your good deed." He
went away believing the justice to be
a paragon of good sense and legal
lore.
Remember that tomorrow evening
is the time for thewhite-winged dem
ocratic primaries. As they have
based their representation on the
Bryan vote it would not be out of
order for pops who voted for Bryan
to come into the fold, providing they
did not come too thick and overwhelm
such old corner stones as Guyromeo
and Mathew. It would be a shame to
have the pops capture the primaries
from the faithful, and we hope they
will not do it.

Tile Clay.
Few people know it, but in the vi
cinity of Nebraska City is to be found
the be8tclay to be found anywhere in
the country. This has been very satis
factorily proven by experiments made
by experts at the instigation of Joy
and Carl Morton. The clay here is
said to far excel that found in Illinois
and Ohio and will stand a higher
glaze. An effort will be made to in
duce some eastern capitalists to put in
a plant for making all kinds of tiling.
In the experiments it was also found
that the clay and lime stone . rock
found in this section were equal to the
material of the famous Portland ce
ment. A gentleman has been corres
ponding with the gentlemen with a
view of eventually locating a plant
here at some future time. Let the
good work go on for this city will
gladly welcome all the enternri h

that decide to come this way. Ne

After over eighteen months of faith
ful labor. Elder David A. Youtzy
closed his labors at the Christian
church here last Sunday evening. He
camt here December 20, 1895, and
found a membership of only thirty
five, and they not the most harmoni
ous of communicants. By indefatible,
arduoua labor he will leave on August
1 with accessions from profession of
faith of 152, aside from many received
by letter. He found a debt' on the
church of $150, which he has paid off,
and raised from other sources $2,160,
which went to improving the church
buiding.
Elder Youlzy preached his goodby
serman Sunday evening to a crowded
house, taking for his subject "The
Preacher.". His first sermon was on
the subject of "Mission of the Church."
Mr. Youlzy will leave a host of warm
friends who will miss him, but -whose
bet wishes go with him to his new
home.
Elder Cline of Uuadilla will bo here
August 1 to take charge of the con
gregation, and we hope th..t his suc
cess may be as great as has crowned
the labors of Mr Youtzy.

Tell a Woman By Her Pnrae.
It has been stated, perhaps by de
tectives, that the age and a great
knowledge of the whole character of
a woman can be gained from the con
tents of her pocketbook, says the Chi
cago Times-Herald.
The business woman always has a
number of receipted bills and a
quantity of cash in her pocketbook,
while the mother of a family usually
has many unreceipted bills, little cash
and the sides bursting with samples
and largain advertisements. The
average young lady has a favorite
poem stowed away in a corner and in
variably a sou von ir of something
bordering on the superstitious. For
instance, while the writer was in a
State street jeweler's the other morn
ing a tortoise shell portmonnaie was
found on the floor. It contained 85
cents, and, far back iu a secret pocket,
a poem entitled "Soul for Soul." It
began:
Oh, eyes that pierce me through and through
And draw my very soul away.
Your sunshine may not rill my life
' Nor turn my darkness into day.
Next to that piece of sentiment was
a small card with the young lady's
name and weight printed upon it On
tLe reverse side of the card was a date
with the words: "If the sun shines
three days after this, you will have
good luck for nine days." About
noontime a beautiful little brunette.

Oregon Haa a Big Wbeat Crop.
Portland, Ore., July 23. Advices
from every .wheat-growing county in
Oregon show that the wheat crop will
be the largest in the history of the
state. Eastern Oregon, it is esti

11,500,000 bushels, while the western
Oregon crop will amount to about
6,500,000, making a total of 18,000,000
bushels for the state. Harvesting has
commenced in almost every section of
the 6 tale and wheat appears to be of
excellent quality.
