(J()Y. Iloi.coMi; made i spectacle of
himself for two weeks trying to de
cide which of the Nehra&ka regiments
should bo mustered out, and then li
nally flunked and dodged the respon
sibility by referring the mat tor back
to tho secretary of war. The friends
of tho sick hoys in the Third regi
ment now know that the governor
could havo liberated them, but when
put to the test he refused to do so.
Mu. Manahan and his friends seem
to be in doubt upon what pla'.form
Hon. K. J. Burkett stands. If they
would como out and. hear him their
minds would soon be relieved. Mr.
Burkett is putting in every minute of
his time telling the people just whore
ho 6tunds. And while he has crowded
houses every where there could still bo
room for Mr. Manahan, or any of his
friends to get in and hear the good
doctrine advocated by Mr. JSurkett

precinct in the district.

that all the foreigners residing in the

annexation of the archipeh-.go by the
United States."' This harmonizes
with the information obtained from
other trustworthy sources. All tin:
business interests in tho islands want
annexation, and the insurgents wilt
offer no opposition. (!on. Morritt's

BELOW PAR.
The popocrat campaign drags
wearily and no show for their carry
ing the state longer exists. The fusion
voters are tired of being humbugged.
They are tired of false statements,
false issues, and false pretenses. Tho
fusionists do not believe this flap-a-doodlo
about economy at tho state
house or that the pass grabbers have
caused an advance in the value of state
warrants.
It is true that state warrants were
below par when these state otticers
took charge of tho state government
eighteen months ago. Everything was
below par then. The history of the
country shows that "nelow par" has
always characterized democratic rule.
Not ODly was the credit of Nebraska
below par, but the credit of every man
in the state and every business firm
was below par, the credit of the na
tional government was below par.
Cleveland issued four per cent bonds.
McKinley's bonds went off like hot
cakes at three per cent.
Farmer credit was bolow p.r eigh
teen months ago. Farm lonns were
hard to get at eight per cent. Now the
landers in Nebraska havo more money
than they can put out at five and one
half percent. Bank credit was below
par. Now Nebraska bankers have
more money than they know what to
do with. L-incoln city warrants were
below par eighteen months ago. Now
they are at a premiem. Omaha city
warrants were below par eighteen
months ago. Everything was below
par then, but everything is at a prem
ium no because because what? Be
cause Porter is secretrjT of state? Be
cause Land Commissioner Wolfe is at
the state house? Because Auditor
Cornell and his relatives are in office?
Is that the reason the government
credit is thirt y-threo and one-half
per cent better? Is that why Lincoln
and Omaha city warrants are Fought
for by the investors. Ex.

DESERVED HONORS TO DEWEY.
It is slated that tho president and
Secretary Long will ak congress to
revive the grade of vice admiral for
the bene lit of Bear Admiral Dewey,
and to extend his retiring age ten
years. The adoptiou of the recom
mendations would be a grateful tict
toward tho gallant officer and would
work no harm to any other worthy

itself of tho advice and active services

INI OIJMATIoN AM) OPINIOX.
The orders have beon issued for
(iciiernl Lee's army to goto Havanna,
and in the list of regiments designa
ted we notice that the Third Nebraska
is one of them. Col. Bryan will soon
bo among tho dusky belles of the Cu
ban capital, and may lorgot till about
Nebraska politics.
E. J. Burkett had a crowded, enthu
siastic meeting at Louisville hist
week, and delivered an elequent
speech, which prominent critics say
was one of the best ever mado in the
county. E. M. Pollard was also pres
ent and delivered a logical address of
more than ordinary merit. The best
feeling prevailed and Louisville may
be depended on for a good big repub
lican majority.
An exchange pertinently remarks of
the deputy attorney general as follows:
"it is feared that the Omaha doctors
who undertook to remove an abscess
from Ed Smith's head, inadvertently
removed his head and left an abscess.''
As the details of the light at Omdu
ram come in, the British people take
less and less pride in it. It was rather
a slaughter than a battle. The der
vishes merely rushed to their death
against "he Maxim and quick-firing
guns of the British column. The num
ber of slain is now estiaiated at 25,000.
'Fuzzy Wuzzie" is hot etuff but the
machine gun is hotter. State Journal.
, As soon as Colonel Bryan reached
Jacksonville after his trip to Wash
ington he held a regiment election to
decide whether the Third Nebraska
ought to bo mustered out immediately.
The colonel carried the dy, it is re
oorted, by a majority of about seven to
one. State Journal.
"
What was tho real reason for Man
ahan's offer to go into a joint discuss
ion with Burkett after hi knew that
the republicans had mado up their
schedule of meetings for the entire
campaign? Was it a bluff, or did Man
ahan despair of getting any crowds to
hear him. and adopt this scheme in
order that he might get to talk to the
crowds that are attending Burkett 'a
meetings? In this county, where the
republican candidate has been having
large aud enthusiastic crowds Mana
han cannot get enough peoDle together
to fill the front seats in a school house.
At Eimv.ood after ten days advertis
ing, even the front row went vacant
at tho Manahan meeting. A man who
went around with a cow bell failed to
stir u any crowd, and tho meeting
had to be abandoned. Good reason
for "joint debate."

installment of box-elder bugs is now

There is nothing 1 i k consistency,
says Senator Jones, tho democratic
leader, who denounced greenbacks in
1895 as the worst money the country
ever aw, and praisei them in as
the best.
Ex-Govarnor Waito of Colorado,
who wanted to ride in blood up to the
bridle reins and was tilver mad, is
now the happy owner of rich gold
mines. Wonder if he will now 6ell an
ounce of his gold for sixteen ounces of
silver.
We are authorized to deny on the
highest authority that there is no
truth in the statement that the com
missioner of pensions has ruled deaf
ness and rheumatism as non-pension-ablo
disabilities. The law remains
unchanged, and no change has ever
been made or contemplated. All as
sertions to tho contrary are false, no
matter from what source they ema
nate. Including original and increased
claims for pensions, the McKinley
administration is allowing 254 per day
against 183 under Cleveland, while
the rejec tions aro only 216 per day
compared with 313 under democratic
rule. These figures speaK for them
selves. In 1896 the democrats and their poli
tical allies said, "as silver goes down
so wheat depreciates in price. Silver
and wheat are linked together by in
separable ties." On September 1, 1896,
a bushel of wheat was worth 67.2 and
an ounce of silver 67.2 silver and
wheat were at par. On September 1,
1897, a bushel of wheat was worth 103.2
and an ounce of silver 51.2. Wheat
went up and silver went down. This
knocked all the dignity out of the
staple argument of 1896, and the demo
crats and pops had to take up a new
issue, tdat of attacking the adminis
iration for its conduct of tho war.

While rhe pops execute a Sioux war dance,
Because the Third is not mustered out.
Beyond peradventure or even a doubt
For the fusion forces there is a rout.
And the popocrats will soon tind out
That Bill McKinley knows what he's about.
For the Third regiment will not get out.

While Nebraska has a tine wheat crop.

Much to the disgust of the hungry pop.
Because the Third did not get out.

In November he hopes to see.
Not of the brand of silver free
But an old time victory,
Because the Third is not mustered out.

Fusion will be known in this state no more.

And Uncle Si will continue to roar,
