CLEMENTS Commissioner M. L. FREIDRICII Governor Shallenbarger has an nounced his candidacy for renomination for a Becond term. The governor will find that there are other patriots who will want to run the race, notwith standing the hopelesness of the chances of winning. The governor will also find that the fellows who were instrumental in his winning lust fall are not feeling very enthusiastic over the way he for got to remember them after he got a chance to reciprocate for the favors done him. With the honorable gentle man from Omaha out with his little las soo, with George W. Berge of Lincoln out with his knife, the chances are that the gentleman from Alma will find the sledding very hard and in some cases the ground very bare. There has not been very much in the administration of the governor that has a tendency to make the faithful enthuse, and what the outcome may be is a problem. Say, honestly; after reading the Lin coln Evening News, wouldn't you guess the first time that it was a democratic paper? The enterprising citizens of the town of Louisville, up the creek, are agitat ing the building of an opera house, with good prospects that they will succeed. A town without a place of this kind is greatly at a disadvantage, and the pos session of an opera house sufficient to hold a crowd such as a town of that size would naturally want, will help a great deal in its development. After a six months' absence in search of health and recreation, Editor May field of the Louisville Courier is again at the helm and expects to make the Courier go some. We have not the pleasure of Mr. Mayficld's acquaintance, but an editor that can afford to take a six months' vacation must be a curios ity and a jim dandy. Here's hoping that we meet him. It is keeping the World-Herald busy these days fixing up a ticket for the re publican party next year. It has brought out several combinations which are all good ones, but it now comes out with Ptill another which looks some thing like this: D. E. Thompson for the senate, Sheldon for governor, Hay ward for congress and Rosewater for the senate two years hence. It is prob able that the World-Herald may have to guess again. In any event it could put in its time more usefully trying to pick out a combination that at least would make an interesting fight for its party next year. The democratic party will have plenty of trouble of its own picking out a ticket. It will not be be cause of lack of good material to pick from as in the case of the republicans, but because of the scarcity of compe tent patriots who will be willing to be put up to be killed off. The Fairbury Gazette announces that it will discontinue its scmi-weckly edi tion and return to the once a week is sue. The Fenii-weckly has been run ning many years but unfortunately tie postcfTice regulations do not al low the distribution of a semi-weekly by carrier in a town the size of Fair- burv. The Gazette also celebrates its fortieth year with tho issue ot this week and feels well and hearty. The Gazette is a good paper and we wish it forty years more of success. go by they continue to elect republican . iafactjoa 0f ,.arrying his own state rec presidents and republican congresses and the pic counter to the democratic patriot looks farther and farther ii the distance. Is it any won der that things look gloomy. If it was not for the fact that they enjoy the privileges that the rest of the people enjoy who appreciate the good things the country has e ijoyed under the republican ad ministrations of past years, they would certainly frizzle up and blow away. The Minden Courier had a mighty bnd case last week and things look awful gloomy to Brct'ier Richmond. He doesn't see anything but disaster to the country in the agitation of the tar iff commission plan. He thinks that the railroads, the trusts, the rich men and the bad men will control the com mission and everything will go to the everlasting bow-wows. Just indiges tion. That's all. Come out of it old man or you will die before your time. You and every other democratic editor who has a lick of sense and will not let his prejudice get the better of his judgement, knows that the commis sion plan has proven a success in every place it has been tried. You know that the commission plan in Nebraska has been a success. You know that it has brought the matters that have been unsuccessfully handled by the legislatures in years gone by to a point where the facts can be gotten at in telligently and solved without any po litical tie-ups to hamper the solving of the questions at issue. You know that the railway commission of Nebraska has solved the question of how to handle corporations successfully and you also know that the law was passed by a republican legislature and signed by a republican governor which created this commission and if you were not continually finding fault with present conditions and all the time looking for the nigger that you think must cer tainly dwell in every republican wood pile you would be able to see a few things right. ompense the state at large for the lots A Subscription Campaign.

This a e will ! extra policemen to the discretion of the The Kearney Hub, in commenting on an editorial published in the News Herald the other day, in which we said that no one wanted to be the leader of an army filled with soldiers who might take a shot at him in the back, says that there is "more point in the state tnent than the News-Herald intended." We desire to say to the Hub that such is not the fact. We meant every word we said, and cannot even then make it strong enough. Jealousy, treachery, and the feeling on the part of some that it would be a nice thing to help out a friend who is running for office on the democratic ticket has led to the defeat of several of the best officials that Ne braska ever had. This persistency on the part of republicans to follow the democratic hearse to the democratic graveyard, just to show the mourners that you are a good fellow, will rot build up the republican party in your precinct, county, district, state or ration. A great deal of discussion has been had since the adjournment of congress over the tariff bill as passed by that session. If nothing else has been ac complished, the fact has been demon strated that there must be some other way to solve the tariff problem besides the present one. When one looks into thi matter carefully, he finds that those things which we of an agricultural com munuy wouui nxe to nave come our way are opposed by a great majority of the members from other localities In fact should it come to a show down and the proposition made a straight is sue, the number of congressmen who would naturally favor the things that we want are far, far in the minority. There must be some ether way to solve the question. Nebraska fought out the railroud transportation question for years in its legislatures, but the ques tion was never solved until the present railway commission was created. So with the tariff question. There are too many localities, too many interests to be considered to leave it to congress. A commission is the only way to . solve the question, and while it may not come soon, it is the only and ultimate solu tion of the great matter. democratic congressman in this district last fall recompense the district for the loss of a republican congressman who was doing good work for his district with a prestige established that would have given him an opportunity to do greater work in the future? Did the election of a democratic governor and a democratic legislatnre recompense the state of Nebraska for the laws that they passed and which, luckily for the Btate, were most of them so bungled up that they arc useless? Has the fill ing up of the public institutions of the state with democrats, many of them in:ompetent, recompensed the state for turning dew i those who after years of excellent service had proven themselves competent and their services of great value? Did the election of democrats to county offices in Cass county two years ago, giving that party a footing which enabled them to send a demo cratic representative and a democratic senator to the legislature last winter, recompense the republicans who voted for them for county office? The men placed upon the republican ticket in Cass county this fall are above reproach. They are men of standing in the community in which they reside. jus: about pay for the paper it is print- mayor, and the freedom of the city ed on, but we propose to make a cam- j from rowdyism during the week speaks piign for subscribers between now and we for the ability of the mayor in the first of the year and make this rate ha dling a situation which durin ; car so that all can give the paper a trial, j njvu time is a trying one.

Mrs. Frank Rand of South Omaha was in the city during the week visit irg with relatives and taking in the carnival sights. While here she drove out to Eight Mile Grove cemetery with Geo. R. Sajles, representative of the C. E. Speidell monument company, and gave instructions relative to the placing of a monument at the grave of her mother, Mrs. Sarah Sage. An Old War Horse. Dr. M. M. Butler, that old war hor3e of the republican party at Weeping Water, was a carnival visitor last week. The doctor loses none of his interest in politics as the years advance, and may always be depended upon to do his share in promoting the interests of the republican party. How natural it is for a democratic nwspaper man to look on the dark side of every proposition. Nothing looks good. Everything look's bad. Every time the republican party pro poses anything that might tend to as sist in making conditions better, the average democratic editor gets a bad case of indigestion and everything looks gloomy. Of course he really should DOES IT PAY? A condition, not a theory, confronts the republicans of Cass county at this time. Two years ago, with a normal republican majority of something like four hundred, the people of this county elected several democrats to office, and they are now in the court house using their influence toward placing other democrats in similar positions and in holding on to the jobs they now have. We do not blame them for this. It is their privilege to do so if they so de sire. It is a laudable ambition for any man to aspire to serve the , people and also to get his friends to do likewise. However, of that it is not our inten tion to speak. The fact stands out and cannot be denied that these democratic officials are there by virtue of republi can votes. We do not know what par ticular republicans assisted in the mat ter, neither do we care, but we do say that it is not a condition that has since, nor will it coutinue in the future, to build up the republican party in Cass county. It has been the history of this country that the democratic party has never been able to deliver the goods tat they contracted to deliver. A busi ness man who would promise to deliver one brand of goods and then send his customer an inferior brand, or send no goods at all, would not be able to con tinue business very long. The demo cratic party of Nebraska has been! in that particular condition from its verv first inception. Luckily for the state they have never been in power very bng, but in each case it was plenty long enough. They have been before the people every year with a long bunch of promises which they never ex pected to carry out because they never expected to have the chance. Unfor- i. tunately for them, in a few instances, they have been successful and were given the chance to carry out the prom ises that they never expected to have the opportunity to do. The result in e .ch case has been tho same. Flushed with an unexpected victory, they spent t le time in looking after their own pel sonal welfare, and the state at large bad to suffer.
