It is estimated that the I'h!liihiiu'
frolic h:is cost the United States ip to
New Year day about $(;27,(O0,0i)O, in
eluding the bonds about to be issued
for the friar lauds, taking no account
of the 10,000 deaths. Whether the
oriental game Is worth this Occidertal
candle, well, they say It altogether
Niatc to talk about that.
Now Is the proper t'mc to Increase
the circulation of the Journal . If ev
ery friend of the paper In Cuss county
would take it upon himself to secure
one new subscriber before the first uf
February, he would be doing the Jour
nal a great favor. There arc numerous
democrats who could easily do this, if
they only would. But will they? Wo
only hope so.
By All Means Nomlnati Teddy.
The original and only Johnny Mick
ey, the Minerva of Nebraska, with Its
rivers un.l htreams, and a coterie of
Lincoln lesser lights a few nights since
organized a Roosevelt club. At their
meeting the pledged support of the
H. & M., from J. J. Hill down was se
cured for "their man." In the light of
this it will be hard for them to weave
around the 10 by 12 brow of Terrible
Teddy and his teeth a garland of honor
because of corporation hostility. This
crowd want to ride Into oftlce behind
Roosevelt; and so they say the North
ern Securities are against him on ac
count of that injunction which did no
good. Yet from the fact of his cring
ing and masterly Inaction toward all
other trusts and his fear toenforce the
criminal law In thUthey dwarf and dis
honor the man by showing uphls grand
stand play to fool the people into giv
ing him a nomination, rather than an
honest attempt to give the people
needed relief from ravaging trusts by
a just, fearless enforcing of the entire
law. We believe the people of Ne
braska are getting onto the theatri
cal displays of the- meaningless trust
busting omnipotence of. the acting
president as t hey seem to have done a
long time ago in the eastern states. It
comes from the headquarters of one of
tN republican' senators from. New
York that "any old democrat" can
carry that state this year by 100,000 In
case Roosevelt should be nominated by
the republicans. It Is In Ihe Interest
of, the democratic party w the natioV
to have Roosevelt as the opposing can
didate. The people are getting hlni
r.b cd up. Ex-Senator Thurston says ol
him that he is a man "whom everybody
is for and nobody wants." Many who
were once for him now realize how In
linitely superior would have been the
coi. duct of the affairs of this nation
under the noble simplicity and states
manship of Mr Uryan had not the In
toxication of the success of the Span
ish war and better times been success
fully thrown against him. Roosevelt
is losing ground for his nomination
everyday and If Mark llanna wants
the nomination It Is his.

Roosevklt shook hands with 6,711
