Tiik gentleman who went to 1'nion to work against Travis on election day didn't accomplish very much, if re ports are true. A democrat of that village says if he had been there a daj or two lie fore the precinct would have leen unanimous for Travis. It seems that every democratic can didate the Weeping Water papers were so bitter against, especially the Ilepublican. were elected and run ahead of the democratic stateticket in that city. This shows what influence the old fossil of that paper possesses. Mi:. If aw kswouth has leen elected county commissioner, defeating oneof the best farmers in Cass county and a gentleman w ho should have been, in our opinion, elected by the people who well know the worth to them of Jacob Tritscli in that important position. Tiik '"picture man candidate' is al lowed to retain his position at the bead of the public schools of Louis ville, or peddle organs, just as he w ould prefer. lie did not get in by that "handsome republican majority" for county superintendent of schools, for which he came to Cass county especi ally to serve the people. A i iikat many Kdicve in giving an official a second term if he has given even fairly good satisfaction. With an equal footing in the race for county clerk, and with no first term to back him, republicans willinglv acknowl edge that Melchoir So.Minichsen would have come out victorious by several hundred majority. Tiik Journal is shedding no tears over anything it has said during this campaign. We have said nothing that we feel ashamed of and neither have we said a word calculated to cast a stain upon the character of any can didate, yet the Journal has jersistcd aM along that its candidates were the ln?st. The returns indicate that the course the Journal has taken was right. I'oi.iTics is a game in which man does the proposing an ! a something which men call chance does the dis disposing. In politics nothing is cer tain until it is accomplished: other wise there would be less nervousness on election night and candidates and their friends would take no interest In returns.

It will be seen that it makes a little change in some of the majorities. Groping for an Issue. Secretary Shaw in a recent speech over in Iowa drew a solemn picture of the Pemoeratic party. He said that within twelve months of another na tional campaign the Democrats were without union on an issue. Some of them were for silverand some of them for the gold standard, some monomet allists: and some for IJryan and some for Cleveland. "Of course," he said, "they all daresay that the tariff should be revised by a Democratic majority. Of course, they all dare say that the tarilT should be modi tied wherever it would be to the advantageof the coun try to have it mdi!ied." Dreadful, ;sn't it? Hut are the Republicans in any better condition? What have they to oiler on the Jinances, the tariff, or anything else? They claim that their majority should revise tli? tarilT: but although in the majority lor a long time they have done nothing in that direction. All the time. tho:ig'i. they are bringing grist to the Democratic mill. The Dem -cratsare not in crying need of an issue j.is now. The tarili questi n is a'i'c i iy a prouii:i mt issue. The Republicans will have to handle it in the pres- r.t (iuresiracknowledge they are afraid of it. There is simply a postponement of wrath. Ths Election Abroad.

Graft a National Issue. liviili nt!y th" full story of the reign of graft in Federal alTairs is not yet !e fore the public. Disclosures already cove- a v. ide tield of operations in many section-, of the country. The facts now fully j;is! ify pai ti.au cognizance of t he si i uat ion. From the remote North west, Oregon, comes the information of a gigantic conspi racy t o defraud t he ( lovernment, in which Federal oif.cials participated. Asa II. Thompson, ivcci verof the Uni ted States Land Otliceat La (Irande, is under indictment. About l,00o,ou acn s of line timber land are involved, according to Secretary Hitchcock, who Iris been in vest igating for the last nine months. The fact, that this man Thompson was hacked by both Oregon Senators, and the figures given by the Secretary plainly show the case to be serious, thio'.vsan unpleasant color over the maimer in which Covernment inter ests have been looked after in Oregon. ''There are others besides Thompson who will be suspended or discharged," says the Secretary. "There is a con spiracy, no doubt, ami some public of li. iais an; in it; but it is a gross exag geration to say these frauds are the urea test in the history of the depart ment. There have been other frauds anil tluy come up periodically and we must ferret them out." Whel her they are the greatest in the history of the department is not the point. They seem sutliciently great. That there have been other frauds is well known; witness the Indian Terri tory stench. Public opinion is compelled to focal ize upon the issue of departmental ad ministration thus raised and to con demn the Interior and Postal depart ments, not specifically as to their heads but upon their general record. No intimation of remissness is made at the expense of Mr. Hitchcock. He is a good man, though at that he can make a mistake of judgment. His an swer to President Barrett of the In dian Rights Association, in which he accused Mr. Carrett of gross impro prieties in publishing the Rrocius charges, was not a document upon which couid be set the seal of public approval. Quite obviously such charges should be published, and the point lies not so much in the courtesy or discour tesy .shown Mr. Hitchcock by Mr. (.arrett, but in the truth or untruth of the charges. Criticism of Mr. Payne is more justi fiable than arraignment of Mr. Hitch cock. Payne, indirectly, bears the odium of the Postal scandals so replete of proven graft and indictments. Payne, also, in the Miss Todd Dela ware case, played the most unlikable role of all the actors and the list in cludes, beside himself, Addicks, Sena tor Alice, Senator Hall, President Roosevelt and the unfortunate holder of the fourth-class oniee, Miss Todd. In short, a decidedly disagreeable odor is connected with Mr. Payne's otlicial record. Faiough of out-and-out graft and of maladministration now is public prop erty t o cause a natural query as to how much is undiscovered. Clearly, popu lar dissatisfaction with such a state of affairs must be expressed, and the prop er rebuke lies in the ballot.

Evidently the voters did not take much stock in the News' denial, as the returns would indicate. When you s:e it in the Journal it is true. We expect to gi ve a full history of the Kupke case very .shortly, and then the people can see who tried to deceive the voters on the eve of election. Time Table Plattsmouth, Neb. Lincoln.

New Vay of Using Chamberlain's Cough Rerrjedy. Mr. Arthur Chapman writ ing from Durban, Natal, South Africa, says: "As a proof that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a sure cure suitable for old and young, I pen you the following: A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it. 1 suggested that if they would get, a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and put some upon the dummy teat the baby was sucking it would 'no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby." This remedy is for sale by all druggists. A Runaway Bicycle. Terminated with an ugly cut on the leg of J. H.
