House after passing the Senate.
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.

many people change cars at Union
and if the grounds around the depot
were fixed up nicely it would give
the traveling public a better idea
of Union. With her new buildings
on each side of the street, if the
surroundings were made nice it would
be the best advertisement for the
town it could have. The people
are energetic and alive and if they
have the right kind of assistance
from the company that town will
be one of the best on the line between
Omaha and Kansas City except

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

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.
