Pkepident McKinley is said to have recognized labor in appointments more than all bis predecessors com bined. The great strike of the anthracite mine workers of Pennsylvania is over. The operators agreed to grant ao ad vance in wages of 10 per cent net. Pksncetox university will confer the title of doctor of laws upon John Hay, secretary of state, at the com memoration day exercises Saturday. "With four years coro of prosperity the delinquent tax lists will be 6o short that it will not be worth while for the newspapers to quarrel over them. Wau officials state that there is no thought of having a standing army of 80,000 men. Tho roports that have been circulated to this effect are ab solutely unfounded. President Washington was pes tered by Tories, Abraham Lincoln abused and annoyed by copperheads and President McKinley is berated and scandalized by Tagals. Du. Hadley. president of Yale col lege, who has kept a Drofound silence since the present campaign opened, has now come out for McKinley. He says imperialism died ten years ago. No one has aught to say against the record of Judge Newell in the laet legislature or is inclined to find fault with the work of Jesse L. Root as county attorney. They certainly de serve to be re-elected. The German Tribune of Leaven worth, Kan., which supported Bryan four years ago, now believes in pros perity and sound money. It is the only German paper in the state and has a wide circulation. Hon. William L. Wilson, ex-postmaster general, died at his home in Lexington, Va., yesterday. Mr. Wil son was author of the Wilson tariff bill, served in congress from 1SS3 to 1895 and at the time of bis death was president of Washington aDd Lee uni versity. . The large registration of voters in New York, Chicago and Baltimore is taken by the republicans as a good omen of the campaign. In Baltimore, especially, the professional and busi ness men are arranging themselves solidly for McKinley, and will be at the polls in force in November. Captain Bennett is putting in his time circulating among the voters of the First commissioner's district. He's going to do his best to overcome the fusion majority that is staring him in the faceJ The republicans have a good candidate in Mr. Bennett, and they can afford to give him their best ef forts. EXTENSIVE preparations are being made for tho opening of the Parniole theatre. The management has se cured one of the finest attractions pos sible, and every effort will bo made to make the opening an event of special note. While but $3 is to bo charged for the best seat?, a goodly number will insist on payiog $5 to 6how their appreciation of what has been done for the city. ' President J. G. Schurmann of Cornell university is scheduled to apeak in Lincoln October 29. It will be remembered Dr. Schurmana was chairman of tho Philippine commis sion appointed by President McKinley and is about tho best informed man n the United States on the Philippine quostlon. He comes under the auspices of tho Hay ward He publican club of the state university. We ARE all better Americans than we are democrats or republicans. Therefore isn't it a matter of regrot .that W. J. Bryan is tramping over the country declaring that the army is being enlarged to shoot down people who cry for bread I And this is the most prosperous year in the history of the most prosperous country on the face of the earth! - As Americans, should not Bryan V statements cause us to blush? Can we . reeard such a man as a statesman? Atchison Globe. Matt Gerino is billed to speak for McKinley. It has been a long time coming, but regeneration seems to have definitely taken hold upon his bosom. Whether Matt is really a be liever in republican principles now or whether his change of heart has been occasioned by the baseness of demo crats who simply claimed to be his friends only to betray him to populism we know not. He is a young man whose tongue is tipped with silver.and whose power to sway the minds and hearts of men is little less than won derful. He will be able to do effective work for the republican ticket if back of the flow of his magic eloquence lies the deep conviction that McKinley is right. State Journal. T1KEO OK TAOALH AN1I BRYAN-ISM. Hon. Matthew Gering of this city, a lawyer of state reputation and one of tho ablest democratic orators of Ne braska, has decided to cast his lot with the republican party. Mr. Gering, like many others, has grown tired of fusion. Many thoughtful mea who supported Bryan four years ago have discovered that fusion does not mean the same now as it did then, but means one thing today and another tomorrow. Mr. Gering doubtless perceives that Bryanism, as it is now, does not repre sent fusion so much as it does confusion. When a party or a number of parties become so mixed and confused that they will compare Aguinaldo, the man who was responsible for a decree that all foreigners in Manila, includiag women and children, should be put to death, and who sold out his people aud country to the Spaniards for $400,000, with George Washington, it is not surprising that many who love their flag and country better than they do their party will cast their votes with the republican party. Mr. Gering some years ago was a candidate for attorney general on the democratic ticket of this state and car ried by far tho heaviest vote of any one on the ticket. His powers as an orator are well known, and it is under stood that ho will make a number of speeches in behalf of the republican ticket befo-o the campaign ends. LAHOKINU MEN INDEPENDENT. A prominent German and demo cratic business man of tnis city a few weeks ago had this to say about work ingmen. Here is his statement. He said when laborers are as scarce as they are now, they dictate to the em ployer, and when they are as plentiful as they were a few years ogo, the em ployer is their dictator. Now, we would call the attention of the fellows who are working in the shops and factories, and on the farms to this statement from a democrat, and ask them which they prefer, to be dic tator themselves or to have their em ployers the sole dictators? In 1896 every laboring man who had a job of any sort was trembling lest on the morrow he might be discharged. .In those democratic days many a poor fellow with tears in his eyes pleaded most plaintively with his employer for work. Many a one said, "for God's Mckinley somethinc hore THAN A MAN AFTER AN OFFICE" (James S. Evans, Chicago, 111). "I come of a long" line of democrats who have been conspicuous in the political history of the Gulf States. I cannot subscribe to the teaching's of Mr. Bryan. Believing them to be dangerous and especially detrimental to the interests of the South, I shall cast my vote for the first time in the history of a member of my family, for the Republican Na tional ticket. It seems to me to be the very acme of insincerity for a Southern Democrat to preach about individual liberty, the right of the governed to be consulted about matters of state issues. A Southerner by birth; in politics a Democrat; an American by the grace of God, I shall, in the absence of a Democratic nominee, vote for William McKinley because he is something more than a man after an office." sake have mercy on my poor wife and children." How is it today? Mark the differ ence in the laboring man's reply to his employer, if the employer shows any signs of "crankiness." Now, the laboring man say?, "Very well, sir, I don't have to work for you, I can get another job tomorrow." NOT I'OK POLITICAL FUKl'OSKS. Congressmann Burkott received the following letter from Hon. A. W. Machen, superintendent rural free mail delivery, at Washington, D. C, in answer to his inquiry with reference to the same: Washington. D. C. Oct. 9, 1900. Hon. E. J . Burkctt. M. C., Lincoln. Neb. Dear Sir: Your communication of the 3d instant is at hand and contents noted. In it you state that the report is being circulated that the rural mail routes now being established are only for political purposes and that they are to be discontinued after elec tion. In reply I desire to say that election will have nothing whatsoever to do with the establishment or discontinuance of any rural mail route. No route will be discontinued. In short you need have no fears oi any of your routes being discontinued. In my opinion rural free delivery has come to stay. The action of congress regarding rural free delivery during the past two years practically assures its contin uance. Yours very truly, A. Vf. Machen, Superintendent.

For the price of the presidency he is willing to extend the area of fraternal slaughter. Reverdy Johnson, at New York, Oct. 21, 1864. The people are profoundly convinced that republican rule is the ruin of the country. They have had four years' trial of it,and find that it is bloodshed, bankruptcy, taxation, poverty and despotism. New York Wojld,October 15, 1861. President L'ncoln has thown by four years of usurpation of lawless and reck less migovernment that no principle,no respect for law that nothing in short but his fears, would restrain him from any further desperate and lawless acts necessary to perpetuate his hold on power.: New York World, October 27, 1864. Under the pretense of a military ne ceseity of a war power higher than the constitution, the constitution itself has been disregarded in every part, and public liberty and private right alike trodden down and the material pros perity of the countiy essentially im paired. Democratic National Plat form, 1864. The temptation of ambition caused Napoleon to wade through blood and slaughter to the throne. And, to compare great things with smaller, it has induced Mr. Lincoln to abandon his often-recorded opinions with the hope of attaining thereby another lease of power. Reverdy Johnson, at New York, Oct. 21, 186. After nearly four years' experience of the rule of the republican party, the merchants and capitalists have met to gether to declare that the only certain way to restore an honorable peace with the union is by hurling Abraham Lin coln from power and placing the gov ernment in the hands of patriots and statesmen. Hon. John T. Hoffman, City Recorder, New York,Oct. 31,1864 The transcendent question which we have to consider is what can we do for the salvation of our country. Have we the power to restore the union and con stitution, or nre we doomed to continue the subversion and overthrow of the political fabric framed by the wisdom of our fathers. Washington Hunt, in an open letter to the democratic asso ciation, New York, October 24, 1864 -f I have not been able to resist the conclusion that almost any other party would be more able than tho republi can party that almost any other presi dent would be more likely than Abra ham Lincoln to accomplish that great consummation which every Christian patriot should have at heart, the earliest practicable restoration of the union. Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, at New London, Conn., October 18, 1S64 - The republican party, instead ofjre storlng the union, has so far as in its power, dissolved It. Under its repeated assaults the pillars of the government are rocking on their base, and should it succeed in November next and inaugurate its president we will meet as a subjected and conquered people amid the ruins of liberty and the scattered fracments of the consti tution. Democratic National Plat form, 1872. Resolved, That the administration of Abraham Llncoln.by its usurpations, its disregard of the constitution, its violation of personal liberty and state rights, its resort to military power to subvert civil authority, its temporiz ing and cowardly degradation of the nation in its foreign policy, its pervor sion of the war from its original ob ject and its avowed determination to prolong it has become revolutionary in its character. Resolutions adopted by democratic state convention, Al bany, N. Y., Sept. 15, 1864. William K.

Finally quiet was obtained and Bryan spoke, concluding at 9 a. m.. a speech of an hour and fifty minutes, which was fre qnently Interrupted by wild applause. He then retired, and Hon. A. E. Stev enson followed. ROOSEVELT AND SENATOR HANNA On Going- Eaat and tho Other Waat Talk ing: Republican Doctrine. Hamilton, O., Oct. 17.

KEAUXS ALIVE AN1 WELL Is Now Enjoying His Freedom at His Home In Canada. Dispatches from Ottawa, Ont., pub lished in today's State Journal and Omaha Bee, give lengthy accounts of John Ben well Kearns, one of the mur derers of Matthew Akeson of this county, who was released from the state penitentiary by Governor Poyn ter on May 23. 1899. Kearns, it ili be remembered was pardoned and "sent home to die," but of the sixteen months he has beeu free he has devoted ten months to mental and physical labor and today is as healthy appearing as any man in the city of Ottawa, being tail, erect and in fine physical pro portion. Kearns is now living with his par ents, and despite the fact that they are using the utmost care to guard his record, considerable information has been secured in regard to the incl dents leading to his pardon. The dis patches quote Kearns as follows: "I was pardoned out of the pen i ten tiary May 23, 1899. I had been sick prior to that time, but was convalesc ing at the time I was pardoned. I was kept in the hospital up to the time I was released, but 1 was up and around four weeka before. Of course, ad long as they let me stay there I would have been a fool to hare asked to go back to the cell." "Who interceded for you or asked for your pardon?" "I do not know. Brown of Montana was down to see me once, but I don't know whether he made any special ef fort to get me out." "Is it not a fact that Brown's money inspired your pardon?" "I could not say. I know that there was considerable talk about the pris oner's getting out through influence and the use of money, but I can't say in my case. Warden Leidigh is the first man that ever mentioned pardon to me. I had figured that I was there for ten years, at least, and I never hoped or thought of getting out sooner. I never dreamed of pardon nor thought would get one until a few weeks be fore I got it. Leidigh promised to get me out, but I doubted his ability to do it. I never talked with Governor Poynter about It. He did not see me but once after I was convicted and that was one day when he was there on a visit. He did not know of his own per sonal knowledge what my condition was at thetime I was pardoned. "Leidigh had a good pull with him, and he helped me out. I wrote a let ter thanking them both on reaching here. I was released late in the after noon and was taken to the depot in a carriage. They bought me a ticket through to Ottawa, and I lost no time in getting away. At Chics go I bought a suit of clothes and sold my prison suit to a second band dealer. "I had a good appetite the last four months I was in the penitentiary hos pital, and was getting on my feet when I got out. My hemorrhages stopped long before I was pardoned and I have never had any since," he said, with a squint of the eye. "You are a pretty rugged looking corpse," was remarked. "Yea, I am in pretty fair shape, though I don't fell exactly like my former self." "Is that not due to worriment and thoughts about the awful crime you committed T" 'Well, there are some things that worry me aside from the condition of my health. Of them I would rather not speak." James L McCabe has at last found a play that is admirably suited to his peculiar style of delineation. His latest effort is "Maloney's wedding Day", which is one of our earliest.
