Mickey is now re sponsible for t!'.e special election for congressman, when it could have taken place at the general Novcmler election. Kyi:kyoni:, republicans and dem ocrats alike, who know Francis W. Brown, has a good word to say for him as an excellent business man. a social gentleman and a man with sufficient abilitv to represent the First tlistrict as it should be repre sented. A Jot kNAl. representative went down to Nebraska City yesterday to attend a meeting of the congres sional committee and hear Mayor Brown's speech of acceptance. It is an excellent document and shows very conclusively where our candi date stands upon the issues that now confront the people. The speech will le found in full in this issue. Francis W. Brow n, the people's candidate for congress is a man who says what he means, and means what he says. He is altogetherdif ferent from Pollard in this respect. Thk Journal hears nothing but praise for Mayor Brown's splendid address at Nebraska City. The people can depend upon every word saysheand every promise he makes. Wiikx the Evening Journal gets fairly started we will endeavor to give the "parlor editor" of the News plenty to do. He won't have time to count his chickens and find fault with the Journal, A Tiik Civic Federation of Chicago in passing resolutions against tne municipal ownership or operatioi of public utilities gives evidence of a realization that it is a condition and not a theorv that confronts the citv. More Patriotism Than Fireworks. The fourth of July was not es tablished as a holiday for foolish ness, murder and conflagration; but as an occasion whereupon the people might show their sense and fitness for the enjoyment of liberty, peace and prosperity. Let's lie thoroughly American and have a sensible Fourth of July. Let us have more patriotism than 1 hi; president has appointed a committee to investigate the meth ods of the executive departments of 'the government and make recom mendations where the committee finds that reforms may be effected. This is a step in the right direction, but it is the first and the easy step. When the committee reports, as suming that it does its work well, t will place before the president fireworks, more happiness in life many reforms which ought to be than trouble over injuries and sor- adopted but the adoption of which row over death.

Then the republican party and who re it will be a really happy and typical main in congress, not because of holidav. Mr. Poi.lad outlined his views before a convention of postmasters last week, in which he-declared that he stands for all the reforms the people are now clamoring for. their ability as legislators, but because of their cunning in secur ing "jobs" for the influential men of their states. Thk Milwaukee bank president who is a convict in the Unitec States prison at Leavenworth has leen assigned to duty as a time keeper. He will have many op purtunitles to speculate on the hours and minutes. What cares Mickey, or the entire state administration,' for that mat ter, when it comes to squandering the people's money? The special election for congressman in the First district, is an expense to the taxpayers which could have leen avoided. Tin: people will certainly get enough after while of the republi can party squandering money so uselessly. Why didMickey call this special election, anyway? Is the state blessed'with sojmuch sur plus that Mickey doti'tknow what to do with it? Tin: president has just appointed "Dr. Iledloe" to a $5,000 a year lcsition as financial agent repre senting this country abroad. Is this "High treason Bedloe" of Spanish war fame, the man who granted American register to a private ship conveying munitions of war to Aguinaldo? Surely this cannot le. Thk onlv wav Pollard is able to get anylxxh- out to hear him is to make his appointments in the countv seat towns on Saturdav He knows that a crowd alwavs comes to tnese towns anyway on that day, and thus takes advantage of it to get a crowd to listen to him. Pi.ATTSMorTH was laid out for a town fifty years ago, and our city contemplates celebrating the event on the 4th day of September La bor Day. Let everyone join hands with the Mayor and council in mak ing the day one long to be remem bered. Tiikrk isnot a democratic officia in the court house but what can be re-elected if he wants to, therefore none of them were worried very much over the decision of the su preme court. There records are well known to the honest voters of Cass county, and they are the ones who elect the officials. Thk removal of the state capital from Lincoln is being agitated, and Kearney, Grand Island, Hastings, Columbus, and a score or two of others are all putting in their claims for its location. Don't get excited gentlemen, wait a half a century at least lx:fore the capital will be moved from Lincoln. Whkn the people learn to elect men with sufficent sense to know the laws of the state in which he resides, there will be less bubbles in the affairs cf the state then Mickey has made since his incum bency. If the special election should now prove illegal nobody will be to blame but Mickey and Attorney General Brown.

During his speech at Lincoln, Mr. Brvan said: A few davs ago friend called mv attention to a cartoon in which Mr. Roosevelt and myself were pictured together in the tariff reform bed, and asked me what I thought of it. I told him that I objected to Roosevelt being in front as I had gotten in first." Lincoln papers report that 1,000 persons listened to Burkett and Pol ard in this citv Saturdav. As there were only 150 persons present y the most liberal count, the cor respondent to the Lincoln paper must have let his judgment run awav with him. Auburn Herald ing tne iiuriington interests, it appears the Mickey crowd triumph in that they succeeded in lowering the Burlington's taxes, while the U. P. faction triumph in fixing the valuation of that road some $5,000 per mile lower than the Burlington crowd favored fixing it. And yet, with Pollard and Burkett, that ag gregation of republican officeholders profess to all "stand with Roosevelt." Thk conviction of the Krause brothers on a charge of illegallv fencing government land and in timidation, should act as a warning to those who have been sailing in the same boat.
