The true populists will hold their state convention at Grand Island July 20. W. J. Bryan has decided to sit on his front porch during the proceedings at the Kansas City convention. John G. Wooley of Illinois and Henry Bt Metcalf ef Rhode Island have been nominated by the prohibi tionists for president and vice presi dent of the United States. On JULY 12 President McKinley . will be officially notified of his re-nom-' .nation for president of the United States. He and Mrs. McKinley have gone to their home in Canton, and will there remain until the committee shall have., given the official informa tion. Ms. Croker, when asked as to - whether he thought the plank calling . for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 should be reaffirmed, said: "Yes, I do. The people are just beginning to .: understand the silver question." Croker is a funny old boy. He is about as much for silver as he is against the trusts. George Fred Williams of Massa . ohuaetts says to make any concessions on the money question today would be - an admission that Grover Cleveland was right and the greatest man in the democratic party. There is no ques tion but that Mr. Cleveland is a much more brainy man than the gentleman from Massachusetts. Hon:. E. M. Pollard of Nehawka ' was honored by be lag elected presi dent of the Nebraska Republican ' League at their convention in Lincoln .'. Thursday. The position was entirely .unsolicited on his part and Mr. Pol . lard and Cass county may feel justly proud in his being placed at the head of the republican clubs of the state. Nehawka republicans are wide . awake. They have decided to organize amounted Rough Rider club. After : 1 they get their uniforms they will select Z the finest horses in that section and .". then show the boys in other towns how to ride and shout for McKinley and Roosevelt. We shall hope to see them ride into Plattsmouth some evening. ' The prohibitionists met In county convention at Weeping Water last Saturday and nominated F. C. Taylor of Weeping Water for state senator and B. F. Judkins of Eagle for the bouse. The balance of the ticket will either be left blank or filled by the central committee, of which Rev. D. S. Donegan is chairman and C. A. Rats ton secretary. Richard Croker is said to be the only gold democrat of 1896 of national :, reputation who has openly announced himself for Bryan and silver at 16 to fn 1900. Since the great American people have no confidence whatever i - the notorious Tammany leader, Mr Bryan can hope for but little assist ance from the democrats who were for Palmer and Buckner four years ago. The Conservative says: A good many "plain people" are wondering how a vote for 16 to 1 and Bryanarchy la 1900 can improve the condition of the industrial classes of the United States. And the same plain peopl . read the prophecies of Bryan as to the scarcity of dollars and the high rates of interest which his defeat in 1896 was certain to bring about and wonder who licensed Bryan as a prophet? They also wonder how he can have the ef frontery to again appear in 1900 as soothsayer and ask to be believed? : The Conservative says: Mr. Jeffer son Levy is a reputable and eminent JefTersonl&n democrat who represents ..In. congress an important district New York. In a recent conversation r : Mr. Levy remarked that the gold ' standard law could be repealed within one year after Bryan's election and ' that Bryan himself had so declared. If it is not repealed until the post-el ec tion period indicated, it. may remain indefinitely upon the statutes of the country. Mr. Levy is a gold standard advocate, itrong and staunch. Hon. C. H. Dietrich, republican 4 candidate for governor, tells what he thinks of our candidates on the na- tional ticket, and seems to have no i, doubt but that Governor Roosevelt will play an important part in national af- v falra aven if elected to the office of 1 , vice president. He says: "I regard it Jm the strongest possible ticket. Mc " Kinley's record in the past speaks stronger and louder for him than any thing' I or anyone else can say. As for ; Roosevelt I regard him first of all .as a ' .'man of action. I think that he pos . aesses too much vigor and ability to be sidetracked by the nomination. He " will always be conspicuous in the af fairs of the nation. When he presides over the senate its members will find t that mere 'senatorial courtesy' and politics are laid -aside, for business. I think he will be even stronger in 1904 ' than he is now." Plattsmouth is to be well repre sented at "Weeping Water July 4. For fear of frighteniog the populists of Mr. Croker, the ice min, thought he J had better call upon Mr. Bryan before going to Kansas City. CHARLES A. TOWNE is making quite a hustle to secure the endorsement of the Kansas City convention. He isn't J saying what he'll do if not nominated Knglish to the children of the rorelgn by the democrats. - ers of all lands who come to our shores. Governor Roosevelt will spend Sunday in Chicago the guest of Paul Mnrtnn wW with others, will accom- pany him to Oklahoma to attend the annual reunion of the Rough Riders. A SPECIAL from Washington states that Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn cxDects to be elected United States senator to succeed Mr. Thurston in the M event of the election of a republican legislature. David B. Hill was the distin guished guest of Mr. Bryan Sunday He came up from Kansas City to talk matters over, presumably at the IS e braekan's request. LOCAL democrats talked of Hill for vice president for several days after but I the Philadelphia convention, there's been nothing said about it now for about ten days. TlllS will be the first Fourth of July I ever spent away from my youngsters. They won't hold their Fourth until I get home, and then we will celebrate it together." Roosevelt AFTER all that has been said about Mark Hanna and notwithstanding the abuse heaped upon him it is now gen erally admitted that he is honest and open in his methods and that they will bear the fullest investigation. Congressman Sulzer of New York called upon Mr. Bryan yesterday Many who met the Tammany repre sentative were disappointed. I hey were expecting to see an older and more distinguished looking man. Governor Roosevelt attended services at the Trinity Dutch Re formed church in Chicago yesterday, It is the governor's custom to attend church in the morning, and the Dutch Reformed is the church of his cboice, It looks as though the silver men were going to insist upon a specific declaration for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 at Kansas City. The democrats are afraid to oling to it quite as fearful as they are of dropping it. Theodore Roosevelt is to be com mended for his good judgment and the courtesy he has shown the opposing part' in not stopping off at Kansas City ani making speeches there at this time. The fusionists thould le permitted to have full sway. IT IS thought ex-President Harrison will take an active part in the coming campaign. Ho is said to be in perfect accord with the management of the campaign, and is impressed with the excellent condition of the country as compared with four years ago INDIANA expects to organize a Rough Rider regiment in every county in the state. The plan is to organize a company in each precinct or town ship. Cass county might organize a regiment with about ten pood com panies and have a great time. The News would suggest that the matter be given serious consideration. Such a move would result in an increased majority for McKinley and Roosevelt and for the county ticket as well. IN eulogizino the wonderful war record of Colonel Bryan tho Omaha World-Herald says: "He possesses in a remarkable degree tho essential qualities of a soldier, viz: A strong physique, courage, bravery and strat egy." The truthfulness of this state ment can bo verified by nearly any member of tho Third Nebraska regi ment. Strong of physique; courageous in enlistment; brave in drawing his pay and strategic in deserting his regiment at the front and returning home. Ord Quiz. FIRST MONSECTAK1AN SCHOOL IN TUE FH1LIPF1NKS. Convincing assurance of tho broad minded, beneficent purpose of Amer ican occupation of the Philippines is furnished by the opening of the non sectarian college of primary and sec ondary education in Manila on lat-t Friday, says the Chicago Timus-IIer-ald. The event was made especially significant by the presence of Judge Taft, president of the civil commission, and his colleagues, thus giving to the enterprise the friendly indorsement and encouragement of the federal gov ernment. The institution is the first nonsectar Ian educational enterprise in the Philippines which must depend for support upon the voluntary contribu tions of the people instead of the rev enues of the church. That the oppor tunity presented to the Filipinos to re ceive a liberal education, not under the control of the priests, is fully ap preciated is evidenced by the fact that five hundred pupils were quickly en rolled, many of them leaving the sec tarian schools to enter the college. The nonsectarian school and college must become important factors in the Amerioan regeneration of the Philip pines. Between the foundation of Spanish dominion in the Philippines and the installation of a system of pub lic schools three centureshaye elapsed. During all this time the clergy have had unlimited autbority,and they have tolerated schools kept by ignorant two or three natives who were paid dollars a month An idea of the work m the public schools under Spanish dominion may bo gained from the fact that in 1S97 the proportion of natives able to speak the bpanisn language was estimated to be one in Tourteen,or only 600,000 for the whole archipelago. Contrast this witu the worn oi ine American public schools in teaching Moral order and stable govern men i can be restored in the Philippines only by offering the elements of a lib- eral. nonsectarian education along with the fundamentals of Honest gov- eminent and respect for law.

To marry the cashiers off I always in vite a number of what I cull 'sponsors,' young ladies of tho best southern families, to join our excursion party. "I havo picked out every variety of young lady for sponsors. Wo havo blondes, brunettes and attractive young girlsf every kind." Tho Witlvam party is slopping at tho Oilsoy house.
