Elmwood is always a gloomy place for fusion orators too ninny republi cans for thera. Xo doubt Mr. Dirge felt that it would bo several centuries before he landed in congress if he had' to depend upon Stove Creek precinct to send him. The tax collections in Cass county for the first six months of the year 1S9( amounted to $99,980.37 whilo the col lections for the first six months of 1900 amounted to $lo7,S9.40, -en increase of $"",7,840.03. These figures speak volumos for the present administra tion. No time should be lost in orgaoiz ing and equipping a marching rough rider club that will be in keeping with the groat demonstration of Oc tober 2. Every McKinley club in the county will be represented here, and several mounted rough rider dubs will participate. Dollivek of Iowa and Clark of New York will accompany Governor I loose velt to this city October 2. The gen tleman from New York is said to bo just as good a speaker as Roosevelt or Dolliver, which means that Plattt- mouth is to havo three of the ablest speakers the country affords. After the fusionists bold their float convention next Saturday, the cam paign in Cass county will be on in earnest. Each will know just what it has to do. It is a foregone conclusion that the general prosperity existing throughout the country gives the re publicans a decided advantage. Republicans of New York seem to have forgotten their differences, for the time being, at least, and are pull ing together for the great victory they see ahead of them. B?njamin B Odell is to be the candidate for gov ernor.and Timothy L. Woodruff will be renominated for lieutenant gov ernor.

Politically speaking, Nebraska bids fair to return to the republican .optimism sometimes proves to be a I very disastrous condition to a party in which it becomes too prevalent. We are certain that the fight, if won, will not be gained without a supreme effort on the part of the republicans of the state. Republicans must not allow themselves to be lulled into inactivity by the apparent non-combative mood of their opposition. The time is ripe for wonderful results from the proper efforts, and every man having the good of the nation at heart ought to be will ing to give, freely of his time and ef forts for the success of his party in this state. It means much and is worthy your best endeavor. Wayne Republican. j UIKKETT'S CAPACITY OK WOR. It was said, of E. J. Burkett two years ago that "he never slept." His icdomitable energy was much spoken of in that campaign. His work in con gress has demonstrated that fact be yond doubt. How any one man can do as many different things and turn off as much work as Mr. Burkett la a won der to everybody. In Washington he kept two stenographers going, an swered from a hundred to a hundred and fifty letters per day, kept track of about a thousand pension caes, looked after patent cases and copyright cases for his constituents. Investigated land cases before the interior department, distributed garden seeds, established rural mail routes, obtained appropria tions for the needs of his district,made four speeches in congress, and in addi tion to it all never missed but one roll call. In everything he exercises the greatest care. He never lets a letter go out without his own hand has ap pended the signature. Uo keeps a rec ord of everything, carefully preserves every letter received and makes a copy of every one he sends out. Ileispunc tuxl, methodical and practical in everything, and probably has few su periors in ability for handling great volume of business. County Attorney Root reports one of the largest and most enthusi astic meetings at Greenwood Saturday night ever held in that section of the county. The crowd was too large for any three or four buildings in the town, so a stage was erected on the street, where an audience of some 1.2(H) or 1,500 people stood for two hours to hear the issues of the day discussed. Mr. Root 6poke for about thirty minutes and Mr. Burkett for an hour and a half. They had plenty of good music furnished by the Greenwood band and the Eagle quartet. Cass county republicans are pleased with their ticket and expect to vote it. Whom the fusionists nominate is of comparatively little concern. If they put up a strong ticket it will only be necessary to work a little harder,which they are ready and willing to do. Their desire to elect two United States senators and thereby support the wise administration of McKinley is so strong that they can scprcely bo tempted to vote for those disposed to foster- the theories advanced by Mr. Bryan. . BRYAN has a peculiar sort of logic. Before the convention he insisted and commanded that a 16 to 1 plank be in serted in the platform, saying that the reaffirmation of the Chicago platform was not sufficient. Now that nothing was said in the Kansas City platform about the income t'x, he declares that the indorsement of the Chicago plat form covers the question perfectly. Such trifling may be thought shrewd, bujj it is neither good politics nor re spectable statesmanship. WnEN Colonel Roosevelt comes to Plattsmouth we will have a rally that will count. The Modern Woodmen log rolling crowd, as large as it was, will be second in magnitude. INFORMATION and opinion. A. F. Williams, who was graduated only two years ago from tho mining department of the University of Cali fornia, has been appointed assistant general manager of the Great De Beers Consolidated Mining company, at Kim berley, South Africa, at a salary of $0,000 a year. Young Williams was left in charge of the mine during the siege and showed so much ability that this promotion is his reward. For over a year New York City has boon passing the hat for subscriptions to the Dewey arch on Fifth avenue. Less then half tho required amount has been promised and only a small pari or mat nas taxen tno lorra oi a cash payment. They now talk of pul ling it down as an obstruction. Its or iginal beauty has long been concealed by a thick coating of city grime and tho chairman of the committee having tho enterprise in charge expresses his willingness to have the arch removed Float Convention.

Govern or Roosevelt reached here last night and thrwugout the evening held a re ception. Following is a synopsis of the plat form: "The continued prosperity of the country and of the individual citizen is the "paramount" issue before the peo ple. This proposition is elaborated. Neither In the Philippines nor else- wheer will the cause of human liberty look for its champion to a party whose only hope of obtaining power lies In an organized conspiracy to nullify the guarantees with which the constitution endeavors to surround the citizen. From thousands of polling places in this election, in which the eDmocratlc party Is so much con cerned about the "consent of the gov erned," the negro citizen will be ex eluded by laws so contrived as to keep out the negro Republican while admit ting the white Democrats, though both present themselves with similar quail fieations except as to color. The party which will not allow the constitution to follow the flag through the Caro linas, though Mississippi and Texas has no occasion to distress itself about the constitution's journey 4,000 miles across the ocean. "We indorse the administration of President McKinley and urge his re election. " We congratulate the people upon the nomination for vice president of Governor Roosevelt " MISSOURI REPUBLICANS OPEN' FIRE. Great Meeting at Sedalia with a Large Lint of Spell-Binder. Sedalia, Mo., Sept 5. The Repub licans of Missouri to the number of about 10,000 were here yesterday at tending the opening of the state cam paign. There was much enthusiasm and a number of good speakers. It would seem that the national cam paign is pushing the state ticket to the background. At a large meeting of the full state committee Joseph Flory, candidate for governor, went before the committee and begged for a more active fight along the line of state is sues. The speakers for the afternoon were Joseph Flory, candidate for governor; Governor Leslie M. Shaw, of Iowa, and J. R.Burton, of Kansas. There wer eoverflow meetings last night and the speakers included R. O. Gardeau, of Wisconsin; T. P. Ray, of New York; Colonel Patrick Dwyer, of St. Louis, and J. R. aDvidson, of Illinois. ON THE STUSIP IN MARYLAND. Bryan Speak at a Number of Places End ing with Cumberland. Cumberland, Md., Sept. 5. The opening of the Democratic campaign for the states. of Maryland and West Virginia at this place last night was rendered memorable by the appear ance on the same platform of the plat form of the Democratic national stand ard . bearer, William J. Bryan, and United States Senator Wellington. Both these distinguished gentlemen were in good voice and both spoke with their accustomed force. Bryan spoke with out notes, and he appeared at the meeting almost immediately alter the arrival of the special train which bad brought him across the state of West Virginia and thus far into the state of Maryland. The journey had been an arduous one, covering including the trip from Chicago about twenty four hours of railroad riding. Still Bryan appeared In exceedingly good order and spoke with his customary vim and vigor. The journey of the presidential can didate across the state was not devoid of labor for him, for while he left the train -but once on the journey he made a number of brief addresses from the rear platform of the hindmost oar. This car was especially adapted to Bryan's purposes, being a composite coach. Including sitting room, sleeping berths and kitchen. The train was boarded at Benwood immediately after crossing the Ohio river. Beginning at Benwood Bryan spoke in succession at Cameron, Mannington, Fairmont, Grafton, Deer Park and Piedmont. lie also made very brief remarks at a few other places. At each place there were good sized crowds and the can didate was cordially greeted. . Tabler's Buckeye Pile Ointment re lieves the intense itching.

The past week has been warm and dry, with only a few light showers in the state. The daily mean temperature for the week has averaged about 5 degrees aboye the normal in the eastern por tion of the state and 6 degrees above normal in the western. Very little rain has fallen daring the week. A few light scattered showers occurred generally, with a rainfall of less than a quarter of an inch. The week has been a favorable one for corn, and the crop has matured rapidly. Much of the early-planted corn is now sufficiently matured to be beyond possible Injury from frost. Considerable of the late-planted is still green and some will require about two weeks to fully mature. Threshing and baying have pro gressed rapidly, the dry weather of tho week being especially favorable for this character of work. In most parts of the state plowing has made rapid progress, but in a part of the western portion of the state the ground is too dry for plowing and seeding. In many places in the east ern portion of the state plowing is about completed. Considerable winter wheat has been sown in the southeast ern portion of the state.
