Senator Burkett made a vigorous fight for greater privileges to the Homesteaders on the floor of the Senate when the bill was up for passage. While the equities of the settlers were admitted by the Ir rigation Committee, they did not see their way to grant all the eon cessions urged by Senator Burkett. There is still a chance to hav-i them ncorporated before the Bill passes the House, and if they are put in, both Congressman Kinkaid and Sena tor Burkett will exert all their powers of persuasion, eloquence and what ever else they can use with propriety tosee that they stay in.

Thc people of Lincoln are now happy, the greatest man in the eyes of the average citizen of tlat city laving arrived Sunday. His name is Hon. James W. Sullivan and he hails from San Francisco, California. Mr. Sullivan is the playing manager of the Lincoln ball club of thc West ern league and if that team should cop thc pennant this year Mr. Sullivan could have his choice of any office in the gift of the city. Just the same tiie people of Lincoln have na kick coming on the playing manager of the Antelopes. He is a gentleman all the time and everywhere.

A great HORRIBLE. There has been some wonderful things published in thc "Why" col umn of the Lincoln News, some of them so wonderful that businessmen of the city have petitioned the editor to cut them out, but thc latest and most picturesque of any ytt is the following in that paper of yesterday: What and from whence arc these poor, biainless biped things, usually incased in very remark able imitations of gentlemen's garb, that have so pitifully .been divested.either through the whim sicality of nature or by misedu cation of all evidential sense of respectability and politeness that they really find pleasure and pas time and nourishment for their diabolical instincts in browsing about our principal thorough fares and public places, jeering at and making fun of innocent and inoffensive people in about the fashion that a bunch of un restricted cura would bark at the passerby, with resemblance in action perhaps to a colloquy of unsophisticated monkeys though without near so much comedy to their laborious efforts, and with about as much intelligence to their gibes as there would be conscientiousness of purpose in the review by one of our own lunatics of the shape of a triangu lar chip after three years serious daily contemplation of the same. We are indeed moved to pity and chargin by the mental des titution and neglect of these guys and wonder why thc civil author ities or at least the humane socie ty have made no efforts to rid the public of this unnecessary annoyance and restore or inRraft a littie tolerable sense into their numskulls before they are allowed to come back again. We fear that if civil effort is not exerted to reclaim these poor demented clods to Borne usefulness, that other individual and more pun gent methods will be employed to transfuse a little of our modern courtesy and civility into their system. -Francis Drake. The writer of the above should be elected to congress and steered up against Uncle Joe Cannon. About one shot like the above at the old speaker would put that gentleman on thc glim and out of business. IT WAS EXPECTED. The Journal in its article "On the action of the Commercial Club in requesting that the papers of the city should not publish as news, items which would tend to leave a wrong impression in the minds of the non-resrident reader regarding the city, says that the request came from a few real estate men and others who are . interested in real estate. It was expected that that paper would be unable' to see the right side of the proposition from a business standpoint. A paper which caters to yellow journalism and which be lieves in the sensational can not see beyond the nickels and dines which drop into its own coffers ly reason of the sale of its papers. A newspaper can print the news and give it as it is and at the same time do it in such a way that it wil not harm the business interests of the city. It is true that people like sensational papers. The paper which can write up a dog fight in the most sensational style as a general thing will be read wiln the most interest. In this the people to a great extent are to blame themselves. The sling of thc Journal that the idea cminated in the minds of a few reel e.tate men and a fev other:; interested in rea' estate may be tiue. Every rea' estate Innn and every man who owns real estate in Plattsmouth is in'eresad in real estate. Every man who attended that meetingi and there were real estate men, merchants, bankirs, lawyers, tele phone managers and a few other lines, were of the opinion that much harm had been dome thc city by the manner in which the papers had sent out the news. We believe that thc point of the commercial club was well taken. This paper will continue to print the news, but we believe that it is not necessaiy to publish some ol the stuff which has been sent out by one of the papers of the city and possibly both. We believe that judgement should be used in the disseminating of news, but the sensational paper does not carry that article in its makeup. IDIOTIC NONSENSE. "Mr. Bryan has succumbed to the influence which surround his home. Lincoln is the nucleus of more societies for thd reform of mankind than any other spot of its size on earth. One can find anything there from socialism to Seventh Day Advcntism; from raw food cranks to spiritualism; from icligious orthodoxy to athe ism: from labor unions to capi.a 'istic combines. Every other door is a Young Men's Christen association, or a college or a church and between these is either a crank or a Rrafter trying to skin the innocent. The citv is built on a salt marsh and ih? inhabitants never get a breath of real air un less they leave town. Nearly every reformer in Lincoln has ono hand on the Bible and the other in some one's pocket. The su burbs consist of more colleges,su burb towns populated mostly by worn out preachers and lust ycar' deaconesses, while farther are penitentiaries and reformato ries, idiot homes and lunatic as rics, idiot homes and lunatic asylumf. "Fairbury Journal. The above mess of rotten garbage taken from the Fairbury Journa and given sanction by publication in thc Omaha Examiner last week, must have cminated from the putrid brain box of an idiotic monstrosity, who has no more regard for the better things of life than the filthy hog which wallows all day in its muddy hole and never thinks except at mi al time. This dirty fling has had but one effect and that of showing to the world that even man can sink so low in his journalistic career that ho can stoop to falsehood and misre presentations and vilify those who most men, no mutter what their calling or no matter how low they may have fallen, are always willingv to take off Micir hat and pay them mnii"f When he attemps to speak in contempt of those women who have given up good homes, given up those things which to most women are thc dearest ihings on earth, and go out doing good, going down deep into the hell holes of earth and picking ou from the gutter men and women who have fallen so low thai they are despised by all,and -ry to make better men end women of them, he is unwor'hy the name ot man and unworthy even the companion ship oi those whem as he says are to be found in the idiotic and insane asylums. A man who speaks in such language of those who devote their lives to making the world better, who go into the homes of the sick and nurse them back to life, is a dis grace to the newspaper profession. We have nut men in newspaper work, whom we thought the profes sion would be better off if they were not members of it, but the Fairbury Blot upon Journalism is so far below anything we have ever before dis covered that for the first time in our newspaper career we bow our head in shame because we belong to a pro fession which has within ils ranks such a diabolical defamer of pure and good women. The daughter of the editor of this paper is in a deaconess school pre paring herself for deaconess work,, as her life work. She went oir, we hope from a good home, the only child of the home, answering a call to go and help make the world better, and the man who throws slurs upon those good women who sacrifice so much to make others more happy ought to be relegated to the hottest hole in hades with a special attendant to keep him sizzling constantly. This may not be the proper Chiitian spirit, but it expresses our sentiment just at this time. Retailers at Omaha. Several local merchants are at Omaha attending the Fourth Annual Meeting of thc Federation of Neb raska Retailers being held there this week. Some four hundred merchants registered and it is the largest meeting in the history of the organization according to President Fred Diers. The retailers have a program calling for the discussion of many important store problems and the meeting in Omaha has demonstrated the need of the organization, according to lenders. The retailers were tendered a banquet by the Commercial Club of Omaha, Wednesday evening at the Hotel Rome.
