f r The Plattsmouth Journal "Wk All Pul Together," should be the motto every citizen of 1'lattsraouth for 11)03. Ir the duties on coal and beef are re duced, what will two Infant Indus tries do? Did you resolve on New Year day to Hand up for Plattsmouth? If not go to some town you can stand up for. TYitat did Cass county republicans get In the Nebraska legislature? Got It where the chicken KOt the ax right square in the neck. Hard coal is $ 1.S..V) per ton, ami the dealers prollt is just 50 cents a ton for handling It. How wc trusts make the people pay for living! While the removal question is up, In which the Lincoln papers seem to take a prominent part, why not agi tate the removal of the capital from Its present contaminating locality? B. & M. and anti-D. & M is the man ner in which the members of the pres ent Nebraska legislature arc desig nated. However, honors in this re spect are alwut equal. The U. P. has the governor. In the battle royal forcontrol of the Nebraska legislature, the Burlington railroad got in their work In great shape. Where could blubber-neck Baldwin of Iowa, have been? JcdoeJkshen was In Lincoln to see the fun In organizing the legislature, notwithtanding the numerous people who were here to attend court Monday and were compelled to go back home and come again at thelrown expense. Has It not come to a pretty pass that the railroads control the legislature? Mockett.a Burlington henchman, won out for Speaker. Well, honors seem to about even now. The U. P. got the governor. How long will the people of Nebraska submit to railroad dictation? The remedy Is in their hands. Will they ever use It? In the eighty years since the Monroe Doctrine was first propounded, the navy or the United States has never equalled that of any of the great Eu ropean powers and yet the Doctrine has never been violatad. The reason Is plain. The United States feeds a large portion of Europe. Were Ger many or England, for instance, to make war on the United States their armies would starve. All this talk about making our navy in strength equal to their Is jingoism. If every citizen of Plattsmouth will do his duty In 1903, we can have a much better town. If a person comes along and desires to locate here, encourage him to do so. Don't tell him there ;s no room for the business he desires to engage in. If the city council desires to make any public improvement, don't kick simply because it is not done in yourwatd. They are not going to do anything unnecessary. Makeupyour mind to encourage them in all public improvements in 1903, bearing in mind what might have been done In 1902 had you not been such an everlasting kicker. The twenty-fifth annual meeting of the Nebraska state historical socie'yl will assemble in Memorial Chapel of I the State University at Lincoln, Tues day, January 13, and continue in ses sion two days. An Interesting pro gram has been prepared for the occa sion, on which we note that Hon. Ed ward Rosewater is down for an address on the subject of "Railroads in Ne braska Politics." It Is a most appro priate subject just now during the ses sion of a legislature controlled by the B. & M. and a governor owned by the Union Pacific, and Rosey ought to be able to do the subject justice. The Journal regrets to chronicle the death of Mrs. M. A. Dockery, wife of Missouri's chief executive, which oc curred at Jefferson City on New Year morn, after an illness of about two weeks of heart trouble. Thus has passed to the Great Beyond one of the noblest ladies in the land. The writer has been intimately acquainted with Governor Dockery since he entered congress twenty years ago, and on sev eral occasions had the pleasure of meet ing Mrs. Dockery. This Is a sad blow to Mr. Dockery, and no one more truly sympathizes with him in his deep af fliction than the Journal. Mrs. Dock ery was a most excellent lady, and to know her was but to love her, and her death is an irreparable loss to Governor Dockery. iacsss; Plattsmouth, Normal and Business College!

Mr. Olney is a rood man, and withal, an able man, but how would the de mocracy be benefitted by his nomina tion? Can he carry Massachusetts? Presumably not. If the democratic party desire victory In the next presi dential campaign, It will and must look to New York for a winner. If I this be the case, where can be found a better person than Judge' Alton B. Parker? Were they to look the coun try over and over, and then again, they would be unable to flr.d a purer, cleaner ar d abler man. That he can carry the Empire state, Las already been fully demonstrated. Richard Olney is one the nation's ablest men also, but In the ensuing presidential campaign we are In duty bound to select a candidate who can get a majority of the electoral j Tote. And we candidly believe that Judge Parker is just the man to wrest the misguided reins of government Oct. 10, Stenographer, Oliver Co.,' Omaha, Miss Beaver.

Plattsmouth, Miss The Successful Democratic Nominee Will be Gorman, Olney or Alton B. Parker. Special to the Journul. Washington, January 3, 1903. Ev eryone knows that Congressman Rich ardson is One of the brainest men in the lower house of congress and the democratic leader of that body. When asked his opinion theotherday regard ing the democratic standard-bearer in 1904, he said: "I think the contest in the next National Democratic Conven tion for the presidential nomination will be between Senator Gorman, of Maryland; Judge Parker, of Xew York, and Richard Olney, of Massachusetts. Each of these gentlemen will have sup port, and I am not prepared now to say which would make the most acceptable candidate for the Democracy." He went on further in the interview, as follows: "I think I can see a leaning in Mr. Bryan toward Mr Olney. There is no question that Mr. Olney is being boom ed in the West. He will make a form idable candidate. While not person ally a magnetic man. he has a clear political record and undoubted ability, lie supported Mr. Bryan, as did Mr. Gorman, and they are equal there. It may be that some of the lingering ani mosityto t. Cleveland will reactupon that gentleman's former Secretary of State, but we can't tell. "Manv democrats have become re conciled with Mr. Cleveland, and y-t in some quarters, a great deal of bit terness toward him is felt. Whether Mr. Olney would share it isa question "Mr. Gorman we all know. He has been with us, worked with us and for us. and his record is plain to all democratic beholders, nis friends will not let the nomination go to another without a contest. Mr. Gorman will be in that convention, and no man will say that he will not be the dandidate. "Judge Alton B Parker, of Xew York, is forging to the front very rap idly. From what I hear of him he would be entirely acceptable to the Southern democrats if he should be the choice of the convention. .He has not a blot on his political record, and would go into the contest for the nomination with a clean escutcheon. TARIF KEFOKM THE ISSUE. "What will be the issue?" Mr. Rich ardson was asked. "What better issue do we want than the one the Republican party is now furnishing us through its division on the tariff quest ion V" Mr. Richardson replied. "The people arc demanding tariff reform. The republican high protectionists will not give it to them. "You will never have tariff reform to suit the people," said Mr. Richard son, with empnasis, "so long as me manufacturer virtually sits in commit tee and writes the schedule. The way the protectionists usually reform the tariff is to stick on a few points more of duty. Then, when there is a clamor for a change they say: 'Oh, leave the revision of the tariff in the hands of its friends.' . "Some of the republicans, who are more far-sighted than their associates, realize the drift of the sentiment, and they are trying to save- their party by granting a modicum of revision. They cannot get even that much. The high protectionists are intrenched and they cannot be persuaded to come out by pleadings of their colleagues. They will have to be routed out by the dem ocrats. The country is pat ent and has been inclined to gi ve the republicans a show : to let the tariff be revised by its friends, but the country cannot be fooled for ever, l think tne people are awaKen- ng to the realization that the 'friends' of the protective tariff will revise it only to their further advantage."

Kead what George F. Morse, 67 years old, writes: Wells & Richardson Co., Gentlemen: Just a word in favor of Paine 's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch the eye of some afflicted person, and they may receive the same satisfactory benefit. Some 15 years ago I had a combination of malaria, chills and fever, and grip, which con tinued for a year or more ; meantime I lost in weight about 60 pounds, trying different medi cines and doctors with unsatisfactory results. Paine 's Celery Compound was recommended, and, after using a little I began to improve, gaining about a pound a week. In a year I had regained 50 pounds of the lost weight and good health, and have been a well man ever since. Yours truly, GEORGE F. MORSE. Leominster, Mass., Oct. 27, 1902.
