ANNOUNCEMENT.
I hereby announce myself as a candi
date for the republican nomination for
Register of Deeds' of Cass county, sub
ject to the pleasure of the voters at
the coming primaries. In asking for
thia nomination I desire to call atten
tion to the fact that my services in the
office of county si rveyor, while being
largely of a "thank yoa" nature, the
remuneration being insufficient fr the
support of a family, have eminently
fitted me for the duties of the office to
which I aspire, and in case I should re
ceive the nomination I shall use my
best endeavors to be elected, and will
give to the office my best attention.

The maximum and minimum feature
of the new tariff bill puts a weapon in
the hands of the President which pre
cludes the possibility of these "just
when needed"rains pilingup a surplus of
farm products which would have a ten
dency to a reduction in prices. Germany
and Frsnce will hardly enfore a prohi
bitive duty on American farm products
when we are in a position to retaliate.

Since the expiration of the term of
office of Carl A. Rawls, as County At
torney for Cass county, of whom the
gambling fraternity were afraid, Hen
ry R. Gering of riattsmouth, has res
urrected his slot machine (which is a
gambling device) and put it into action
to get the nickels from the children of
the community, and teach them habits
of gambling. We wonder why, also if
there is another such device doing busi
ness in the county. Weeping Water
Republican. The attention of "Cass
County's Pride" has been called to this
particular gambling device, but the
belief has been expressed in certain
quarters that he doesn't know the dif
ference between a slot machine and a
cream separator.
One of thef principal features of the
new tariff bill is the maximum and
minimum provision. The schedules
contained in the new law are the mini
mum. The maximum rates are twenty
five per cent higher. The minimum
rates or those contained in the Payne
bill will apply to I'll those countries
that give the products of American
labor the benefit of their lowest tariff
duties. Under the terms of the new
law the President is authorized to im
pose an additional duty of twenty-five
per cent against the imports of those
countries that discriminate against
American made goods. It has been the
custom of some foreign countries, not
ably France and Germany, to levy a high
er rate of duty against goods coming
from the United States than they do on
similar goods that come from our com
petitors. This custom of France and
Germany has been one of the greatest
obstacles in the way of our extending
our foreign trade with these countries.
This discrimination has been especially
directed against farm products. Wheat
and corn and the meat products of South
America have been admitted to these
countries at a much lower rate than
was charged against these same goods
coming from the United States. Under
t'lis severe discrimination exports of
farm products to these countries has
graduallyfdeclined. Under the present
law it hal been impossible to retaliate
or do anything to prevent the discrim
ination. The maximum and the mini
mum provisions of the Payne law are
intended to meet this condition. The
moment the new law goes into effect
the President will be authorized to no
tify both these countries that unless
they admit our goods on equal terms
with those of our competitors we will
charge a rate twenty-five per cent
higher on goods they send to the United
States than we do on goods coming
from other countries. This elastic fea
ture of the new law can no't help pro
ducing good results. The United States
is not asking any favors of anybody.
All we ask is a square deal with all the
world. This we are in a position to
demand the moment the President, signs
the new law. An increase in our ex
ports of farm products can be ex
pected just as soon as France and Gei
many admit the products of our .farms
on equal terms with our competitors.
This is one feature of the Payne bill
that is of especial importance to the
farmers. The more wheat und corn
and me it we can send abroad the less
of a surplus will be left to glut the
American market. The present high
prices of farm products can continue
only bo long as there is no surplus left
over from the previous crop to froce
prices downward.
A winning smile and a good stiff back
bone in the White House has given the
American people a tariff bill that will
give general satisfaction. With few
exceptions the increases of the law are
on luxuries and the decreases are on
the necessaries of life. There is no
doubt but the bill is a revision down
ward. It comes as near being a fulfil
ment of platform and pre-election
promises as could be expected with the
high protectionists of both parties de
manding higher duties.
Plattsmouth's Business Men's Car
nival is to be a hummer. The required
funds have now been secured and ac
tive work commenced which will give
to Cass county the biggest event of
the kind in her history.
The democratic press of the country j
is in high glee just now. Daily; it is
reproducing the belabored tariff com
ment of near republican papers with a
"now see who's come" expression that
is really pathetic. The hilarity will be
short-lived, however, as this tariff ses
sion of Congress has been educational
in several respects. Not the least of
the results accomplished will be a new
alignment along political lines, and
jme of the alleged republican journals
S will find themselves in the democratic
ranks, where they rightfully belong.
Judge Douglass is just enough of
of a newspaper man to call it a "fat
take" and credit his loss and gain ac
count without further comment.
Murder trials come high. The fee
bill of the district clerk's office alone
in the Clarence case amounted to over
six hundred dollars. -
This county campaign is beginning
to warm up a little, though not much'
is to be expected until after the pri
maries. Nothing but the friendliest of
feeling exists between the various Re
publiban contestants for nomination
and it is now a foregone conclusion
that the party will go into the fight
with an utter absence of any factional
strife which could militate against its
success at the polls. There is only one
way for Democrats to secure office in
Cass county-by Republican votes -and
that avenue has been closed for
this year.
For Supreme Judge.
Judge J. E. Cobbey of Beatrice, is a
republican candidate for one of the
three places to be filled in the supreme
court of Nebraska, and the encourage
ment his candidacy has met in all parts
of the state justify the expectation
that he will be one of the winner?.
That Judge Cobbey is regarded excep
tionally well equipped for the responsi
ble duties of a supreme judgeship is at
tested by the letters of commendation
and endorsement pouring in since his
candidacy became known. Lawyers,
different public officials and other citi
zens have recognized Judge Cobbey's
excellent fitness, legal knowledge and
experience, judicial temperment, fair
mindedness and high character, all es
sential to a clear and impartial deter
mination of facts and application of
law, all have volunteered assurance of
ordial support.
An Omaha lawyer of standing has
this to say of Judge Cobbey's fitness:
"There is probably no member of the
Nebraska bar who possesses a more
thorough knowledge than Mr. Cobbey
of the many legislative enactmen.s and
the law of the state since its founda
tion. One of the most highly esteemed
and efficient members of the supreme
court of our sister state of Iowa, Jus
tice McClain was chosen mainly be
cause of his labors in that state similar
to those performed by Mr. Cobbey in
Nebraska." A lawyer in western Ne
braska refers to Judge Cobbey as a man
"whoso natural ability, aided by pro
found scholarship, and supplemented by
years of successful experience, would
insure, in our appealed cases, a fair,
impartial and conscientious finding of
facts, followed by a fearless but judi
cious applications of the law. " Anoth
er lawyer writes: "Mr. Cobbey's works
speak for his qualification; his work on
chattel mortgages and his book on re
plevin are recognized as standard. He
saems to have a genius for accomplish
ing work."
We could quote columns of letters
'speaking in the highest terms of the
character, ability and cultured mind of
Judge Cobbey. He has lived in Ne
braska for thirty-two years and his ex
cellent fitness for a place on the su
preme bench is generally recognized
and appreciated.
The people of Nebraska will not only
add strength to the supreme court, but
bestow honor on a deserving Nebraska
lawyer by nominating and electing
Judge Cobbey.-Beatrice Daily Express.
