not spend all of his time in other

Wheat was worth 64 J cents a bushel
in the Chicago market in July 1861,
twelve vears before tho crime of T3.
In July 1882. nine years after the
crime of T3. it worth $1,321 in the
same market. Will Mr. Bryan, Mr.
Towne or Frank Healey please ex
plain just how the crime of 13 para
lyzed the wheat. Fremont Tribune.
The state has closed its side of the
case in the famous Luetgert murder
trial, and the defense begins today.
Tho public is convinced that Ijuet
cert is a double dyed villain, and is
euiltv of the crime charged and will
not be greatly interested in the de
fense that will be put up.
AT THE York Al. H. conference a
prominent minister was publicly or
dered to pay his debts or his name
would be dropped. This is good doc
trine, and we are glad to see the
church take hold of the practical s.de
of religion in this way. It is evident
thai a man who shouts hosannas Jand
prays at every opportunity hasn't
much religion if he refuses to pay
his debts.
W. J. BRYAN will be here lor a
speech October 4. We should like to
hear him reply to Bryan of one and
two years ago, the last edition being
at serious variance with the Bryan
who bewailed the high-priced dinner
pail that became empty when his Wil
son bill was adopted and remained
so until recently. He might read his
column of statistics line be did be
fore to prove that , wheat and silver
were always together, so that in the
crimo of T3, when 6ilver was stricken
down, wheat values were ruined ut
the same time never to recover Again
until silver was reinstated. There are
several things the Brvan of '97 could
take the Bryan of '94 to task about.
IN taking a trip from the Missouri
river over the 'Q" to Ottumwa, la..
it is quite apparent that the corn crop
will not compare with that along any
lino covering an equal number of
miles from the river into Nebraska.
While there- are many fields of corn
which will make a good yield, it
seems that many eections wore un
fortunate in being missed by the rain
fall at a critical period in the corn's
growth. With the mammoth wheat
crop which Nebraska has just har
vested and the prospect of a heavy corn
crop, the state's " prosperity is bound
to be felt by all. Do not retart her
progress by ' harping on the hard
times. Stand up for Nebraska!
BETRAYED.
When in reply to Mr. Bryan's angry
remonstrance to the Tammy leaders
m . . .
against attempting to make a cam
paign In New York without "reaffirm
ing the Chicago platform" and pro
nouncing for "16 to 1, regardless,"
Senator Murphy flashed that letter
from Senator Jones, chairman of the
national popocratic committee, in
which official permission was given to
the popocruts of New York to run a
silverless campaign this year, as a
matter of astute and profound party
policy, the boy orator had something
of the sensation of the plutocrat in the
presence of an exploding dvnamite
bomb hurled at him by a patriotic an
archist. Billy has been betrayed in
the house of hisriends. Ex.
Let us all weep with the unhappy
Argus, pubished up at Columbus by a
confirmed populist. "The merchants
of Columbus," the Argus says,4are
feeling greatly encouraged over the
.very flattering prospects for a good
trade this fall. Already a healthy
Indication has set in that a better
class of goods are going to be in de-
mand, and our merchants have in
variably purchased their goods tbis
fall frith a view -of meeting the de
mand. The only thing to bo dep'ored
in connection with our fortunate con
dition is that our temporary pros
perity Is brought about at the expense
of a famished and' starving foreign

It is aoiumnced that the health of

take an active part in the campaign
in Iowa tbis fall. The real cause of
the withdrawal was not the weakness
of Mr. Biies. It was the weakness of
his stand on th-i silver question. He

that made him unavailable for this

ANOTHER tribute to American
manufacturing superiority is conveyed
in tho announcement that Japan is
about to abandon the En glibhsteel rails
on its imperial railway and substitute
for it the heavier American rail,
known as the F'enusylvania standard.
Japan is a wideawake country, with
keen commercial instincts, and its
preference for American manufac-
tures, if sufficiently encouraged, may

Hoke Smith, who left Cleveland's
cabinet more than a year ago to sivc.
as he thought, his political bacon and
recanted his gold bug principles and
joined the Bryaniles, has flopped
again. He has recently publicly ex
pressed his joy at the decision of the
New York democracy to repudiate tho
Chicago platform. He says, "It will
tend to bring tho south back to old
time principles and the abandonment
of sixteen to one." Hoke is slightly
ungrammalical, but as a floppcr, his
head is all right. He stands by Chair
man Jones and he efives the Klondike
shoulder to Billy Bryan. State Jour

The silvermen; to help out McLean,

long-time - planning to hold a mam

for tbo meeting came Wednesday
there were not more than fifty persurs

OUR amiable neighbor seems to in
dulge in the idea that some one from
this side of the street has boon t ry-
ins to cause friction in the ranks of
the several isms which the Journal
coterie is trying to marsball under
one banner with the single shibholtth
of free Bilver ha a watchword. The
Dr. Jekyl-IIyde organ is too suspi
clous. The humble edilor of this
"home comfort and fireside compan
ire'' is not paying any attention to
the fusio-fusee ticket, it needs none
from tbis side of the house. A man
that can so far forget himself and the
best interests of the county as to think
of voting for the so-called fusion
ticket is past redemption, and could
not be reached by what the Journal
calls friction. One democratic boss
only a few days ago was reading,so he
siys, another equally prominent
democrat out of the party because the
latter did not worship Bryan as the
boss desired. We could mention num
erous samples of fusion harmony like
the above, but in no instance have
republicans had anything to do with
their private wrangles.
AN EXCHANGE truthfully remarks
that it is a condition and not a theory
which now confronts Mr. Bryan,
whereas a year ago it was only a theory
that confronted him.
George Hay was one of the early
settlers of 1 this county. Everybody
knows him ns a straight, reliable man.

ment will be rewarded by an endorse

proud of. ' -

E. E. Hilton, tho present county
surveyor, is a first-class civil engi
neer, having followed that occupation
all his life since arriving at the age
cf maturity. His superior fitness for
the office and accomo-odaling man
ner insures his election. -
James Robertson is an old citizen
of Cass county and always made a suc
cess of whatever he coutracled to do.
His friends are legion, and with
the splenold record he has made i.s
county clerk, there can be no ques

REDEEM -NEBRASKA.
No better reply can be made to the
silverite activity in Ohio than a de
termined effort by republicans to
carry Nebraska in the fall election.,
says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The prospect that the free coinage
party can make a breach in any sound
money state in November id extremely
small. But the redemption of Ne
braska would be significant. It would
end a politic il menace that has al
ready given the country far too ra uch !
anxiety and damaged business to un
incalculable cxtt-nt. Nebraska is na
turally a republican state. Against a
fusion of all other elements, with
state pride enlisted in behalf of the
head of the fusion ticket, the republi
cans of Nebraska last year cst 105,
564 votes, or onlv 13,000 less than the
fusionist. Under the circumstances
it was a result encouraging tho belief
that the state this year will return to
its former political position. II any
voler who left the lepublican party to
act with the fusionists will ask him
self what has been gained he will be
compelled to tidmit that Nebraska
largely owes whatever it enjoys of
better times to republican success.
Nebraska politically has nothing in
common with South Carolina. It is
not a silver mining state and has
no Bharo in the bribe that was offered
the silver states by tho Chicago con
vention. The fallacy that silver gov
erns prices and that its decline
depresses all commodities 'has
been exploded. Nations retaining
the silver standard nre dropping it as
fast ns possible. Within tho last yenr
it has been discarded by Russia, Japan
and some of tho South American and
Central -American stales. In Mexico
it takes $2 40 in silver to buy $1 in
gold. The whole drift of finance
throughout tho world is away from
the free coinage of silver. What point
is there in Nebraska resisting the
tido? Not one of its interests lies in
inai direction, its increasmc pros
perity is b ised upon the sale of its pro
duct?, for dollars of full and univer
sally recognized value.
Possibly one inducement remains
for Nebraska to give renewd approval
to free silver and the other doctrines
of the Chicago platform. Just one,
and that involves merely the per
sonality of Mr. Bryan. If Nebraska
conceives that its first political duty is
to support the presidential aspiration
of Mr. Bryan through the next three
years it can protect him from tho
argument that he has lost his own
state. Meanwhile the state must
subordinate itself to that idea and re
frain from adopting any policy or
measure not favorable to it. Mr.
Bryan is a' man i f much magnetism.
Where ho goos tho crowds gather
and he is cheered t- the extent of his
desire to bo congratulated. But ho
was cheered just us wildly lust yc.-ir
in Now Jersey, a democratic utate
that went against him by over 80,0(10
majority. Mr. Bryan is a defeated
candidal!'. His silver theories have
gone to pieces. Nebnska cannot
assure nis uccesa oy closing its eyes j
and eard and sticking to him for the
next three ea-s. It can do much for
itself by turning at once to tho
livn ;
issues that present themselves from
year to year, and by returning to tho ,
party of progress and prosperity, where
it belongs in the light of history, and
logically.
A. Iv. Eikenbary is cl-isscd by
those well qualified to know as the
best treasurer Cass county ever had.
He is careful, courteous and attentive
to business. It would be a reflection
on the fairness of the vote'-s if he
were not teiurned by an increased
majority.
For coroner. Uncle Henry Boeck
makes un ideal officer. He knows his
business and oing of an economical
turn of mind, he will never hold an

George M. Spurlock has been a
model county judge. His integrity
and ability are not even questioned by
his opponents. He haa built up a
good practice as a lawyer and never
classed us a real eslale or loan shark,
having never engaged in nny business
of that sort. Ho has earned the confi
dence of the people, and it is safe to
predict his election to this important
office by the largest majority ever
given a candidate for the position in
ihis county.
The egg product in Arkansas last
year is said to have sold for $10,000,
000. These egg stories are growing
monotonous and if anyone would
stop to analyze, it would be seen how
preposterous they are. In Arkansas
for instance they would not average
over 12 cents per dozen and to raise
the above sum, would require one
hundred trillion eggs, a sum so large
as to almost be beyond comprehension.
The egg enthusiast is too wild with

The Dr. Jckyl-Hyde organ contin
ues in its efforts to bo funny by talk
ing about republican bosses who have

the minds of tho sydicito editors.
Taking circulation and value of plant
into consideration, this office receives
less patronage from the court houso
than any other paper in the county.
Wo have mado no complaint, and
never demanded a favor from any pub
licofficial.All the real bossism thnt has
existed of late years in the republican
ranks was overthrown when the district-bench
was cleaned out, and it is
the thought of that fact which causes
the ex-boss to mane such a ludicrous
display of his enmity toward the edi
tor of this paper.

It is very unkind of Nimble Sammy
Chapman and Blarney Sullivan to
make a fie ht on Judge Post, as they
have been doing lately through the
Journal, for the reason that the only

what these t-vo worthies said as to
their great influence with the court.
The sound money democrats in con
vention last evening nominated one of
the ablest and cleanest state tickets
ever placed betore the voters of Ne
braska. Chancellor Wool worth for
supreme judee, J.. Sterling Morton
and Judge Crawford for regents of the
state university are a trio to be proud
of. The only thing thai can bo urged
against these men is their life-long
devotion to democracy and democratic
principles, as a republican we can not
support them. No democrat, however,
with any party pride will vote for the
salable Sullivan, as against Judge
Wool worth.
