The Plattsmouth Journal It. A. BATES, 1'iuusiiEii. ri UI.lsllED WEKKLV AT PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA. Entered at the pnwlnffir-t it Plattsmouth, Nc bra-ska. a aocuudcluu mailer. Sknatoii Smoot should not overlook his opportunity, lie can make a for tune selling his photographs In St. Louis this summer. Dkmucbatic newspapers and leading men In the party should put In more time attacking republicans instead of members of thclrown party. As Ohio couple took an oath that they'd never be divorced. Newly mar rled couples always feel that way, but they usually wake up at the end of a month. Akk Mr.Tcegardcn and his deputies sticking closely to the text of "equal assessments to all special favors to none?" The peoplo will know bye and bye. The Pun commercial agency reports 241 business failures last week against 1(10 the year before. This unfortunate hitch in the prosperity campaign will not be called attention to by republl can spellbinders. It would appear, from all accounts, that thcl'latUmouth Republican Ring has agreed upon I. F. Dale, of Green wood, for one of Its candidates for rep resentative. At least one would Judge so from the ring's mouth-piece the Evening News. "The Hand Writing on the Walt!" A Washington special, under date of pril 30, says: "Representative John Sharp Will- lams, of Mlssisslpl, the democratic leader of the house, in an authorized statement today, says he believes that the nomination of Juo'e Parker at St. Louis is assurred. " 'It seemscleartomenow,' said Mr. Williams, 'that Judge Parker will be nominated by such an overwhelming vote that there will be substantially no opposition when the time for the convention arrives. .Individually, I favor his selection.' "Mr. William, when questioned con cerning the report that he will be a candidate for the presidential nomin atlon, said: 'I think you know me well enough to know that 1 have never been Idiot enough to take this talk seriously. There has been some talk of the nom liiatiun of a southern man. I do not think such a course would be wise just now. That time will come and it w ill not be very far distant, as history counts time. When it does come the south will be able to find 10,000 men abler and 100,000 better men than I am.' " Tub News editor Is so given to lying that he will resort to a "little white lie" when the truth would suit better, L - Ma you Geuinu will do his duty Ir respective of the Polk-Farlcy coterie, It Is better to have the 111 will of some people than it is the good w ill, and we would guess that Mayor Gering will carry out his administration on this line. Tub republican idea of reciprocity is to grab all you can and keep all you get. The clawlesscat in Tophet would have a better chance than this pet of Blaine and McKlnley in a con gress whose policy is "stand pat." Mayou Geuinu Insists that he has remitted no fines, the court record not withstanding. News. Well, Mayor Gcrlng's word goes for more than that, of the editor of the News that should settle it. - t In a speech on the tarilt last week in the sciatc, Senator Bacon proved that our sewing machines, sold for $1 In England cost t'25 in this country, and American steel rails could be bought 85 ft ton cheaper in England than in T hnsylvania or Alabama. Wondkii if thero Is a mad-stone in .Ibis vicinity. Some of Farley's friends fear he Is somewhat afllictcd with the "rabbies,"and they are on the look-out for a mad-stone, the usual remedy for such hydrophobic creatures. It is a fact that Dietrich is lending 'what little Influence he has for Blow bard Burkctt to succeed him in the senate. Dietrich's idea Is to be suc ceeded by a man with less ability than himself, and he gets him in tiic person of the brainless fop who mi-rcprescnts the first congressional district. The greatest exhibit that Nebraska could make at the St. Louis Fair would be to link together Midget Mickey Bribe-taker Dietrich and Blowhard Burkett three of the greatest nln compoops on earth. To charge an ad mission fee of ten cents, the republican party would derive quite a campalg fund. However, the exhibit wouldn' reflect much credit to the state abroad Ik Dietrich is exhonorated from the charge of bribery, and the republican party feel that ho has, what Is the matter with bis re-election? Most certainly a senator of Blowbard Bur kett's calibre wouldn't improve the state's representation in the U. S. sen ate. But Dcrhap as a slv schemer is more of success, and then railroads can use him to a better advantage. The total capital of industrial trusts is $7,21(1,342,533. Those organ ized since January 1, 1S'.I8, represent the enormous sum of iy0;)013,,r00. That is to say, more than nlnc-tentl of existing trusts have been organized slncc.the republican party returned to power in 1807. They have sprung up and nourished under a republican ad ministration to an extent beyond any thing previously known, and the far mcr contiuesto pay the freight, In the three years of republican "re demptlon" the state debt has been In creased $."3.',72!),4!), and all because tl 'redeemers" arc spending the peoples money with a lavish hand.

Olive copies tl article of the News In reference to tl findings of Judgo Jessen In the l'olk Kupkccaso, and heads It "Gives l'olk Now will the editor tho Herald be so kind as copy the sections of the findings last week slssucof the Journal? The show a different face on the matter that Is among those who understand the modus operandi of letting a folio down easy. Tho News was nev known to give a fair statement in any thing It publishes, and only publlshe that of a political nature that iuIU tho ring, of which the editor Is one the members. The decision Is only m(xtli attempt of "whitewashing" we believe that Is what the principal The Right Spirit. In sending out advertising to the L 'ious newspapers of Cass county for the Street Fair and Carnival next week, the Union Ledger was the first on the list. In reply to our request to publish and send bill to this offlce the following reply was received: li. A. Bates, Ek., Plattsmouth, Neb. Iear Sir: Yturs of the 2d inst. received, in which you request the Ledger to do some advertising for your Street Fair to be held next week. You also request me to "send in bill for same." I will cheerfully comply with your first request by advertisement to ap pear iu the Ledger this week, but your request to "send bill" will have to be Ignored, for the reason that it has been paid many times in the past. I remem ber how liberal the newspapers of the county have always been in advertis ng our "Old Settlers' Rc-unlon" here each year, and this Street Fair ad. only affords the Ledger an opportunity to repay In part the generosity of Platts mouth newspapers and citizens, who have always been loyal supporters of "Union's He-unions." Yours very truly, C'HAULES L. GltAYES. "IIoo-IIoo" MI8S SUSAN IS. ANTHONY at 84, as chipper as a blackbird and merry as a cricket, says, "I may not be here when the campaign opens, but if anywhere. I shall be somewhere." This is lucid diplomatic, a little mysterious and de llghtfully non-committal. She would make an excellent secretary of state if anything should happen to John Hay Ouu republican friends insist that the scandals of this administration should have no part In next fall's cam palgn, and that the grafting, boodle snatching arraignments, indictments and convictions which have filled even conservative newspapers to overflow lug, are "ordinary incidents." Why not see what the people think about It? The republic of Panama did not re ceive that tlO.000,000 about April 1st as the Associated Press announced that It would. There are still complica Hons, law-suits, appeals, obstacles hitches, snarls, and other impedi mcnts. And now Colombia actually stands boldly up, declares that she has been plundered, and Is ready for war, Boi'ukk Cochuan made a trcmend ous sensation In congress recently by his brilliant and eloquent speech against Teddy's usurpation of legisla tlvc functions. The accidental presi dent will probably hereafter rank him with Senator Carmack, whom he not! fled that "he would sec him in h 11 before he would grant him any favors. The proposition to suspend a state from the Union on account of Its re liglon Is about as rank as anything ever heard of. But It can be done. Congress refuses to make a martyr of Senator Smoot because President Smith has six wives, President Itoose veltcangetln his patent by simply Issuing an executive order that Utah Is no longer one of the United States, Congressman Baker, of New York has a keen sense of Justice. He has made five efforts to hitch on to the ap propriation bills a provision to rclm burse the railroads of the country for the .amount they have expended In dead-heading Roosevelt and his suite The republicans do not seem to appro elate Mr. Baker's liberality. In fact they secra to resent It. They probably think that a frequent railroad train is a proper pcrqulsito of the executiv otlicc. in Recent speeches In congress, direct cd detininely and with mature consld cration at the issues of the coming campaign, disclose no sign of conflict The Intellectual party spokesmen both houses, representing all sections of the country, have given precedence In tho deliberate arguments to the same Issucsof government. They hav adaresseci themselves to the same faults of republican legislation and ad ministration. In the situation of par tics there Is not a timely or pressing issue upon which the democracy Isdi vlded. There Is every reason except the reason of Individual selfishness for a consolidation of all the elements which naturally range themselves un dor the banner of democracy.

Sptirgeon says: "Leniency to the bad Is unklndness to the good." The political Inlluencc of tho Polks Iu this county Is a thing of the past. It is said that Slg. and Milt made quite a team In their day when they w orked in unison to gain the same end. Slg. was a high dignitary In tho church and the other a frequenter of saloons, thus focusing two elements of society In aid of one cause.
