lis I'.rown what a galaxy of re
formers! Whkn private interests are also
to resist the public will, there is a
bad state of affairs.
Tkdhy's genuine raids have not
been made on the railroads and
meat packers, but on the wage
caruers, who pay the taxes.
"At.i, com:!" is what they are
now saying in Washington. This

to the mlministration, as it should
be, the republican concessional

stiller for lack of funds.
Skckktaky 1 ai t made a very
pretty speech at (.reensboro; but it
had two defects: it was evasive in
most important particulars; am
where it was not evasive, it was uu
fortunate.
Tun government in spending this
year 510,000, 000 more than its to
tal revenue in 1 897. This is Roose-
vtltian economy. This is prosper
ity for the world-power bunco steer
ers, but not for the taxpayers.
Sknatok 1Ykaki:k says he can
not sit still for two years. Why o
course not. President Roosevelt
can't sit still for two minutes. The
rattled condition of the republican
party won't allow any rest for its
ardent votaries.

Oh, How Kind. I
Senator Sheldon, who wants to be
governor of Nebraska, is pouring
hot sl-.ot into the railroads, ac
cording to his speeches. Congress

hese two worthies both hail from
Cass county.
To show how effectively these
gentlemen are opposing the railroads
it is only necessary to state that the
republican convention of Cass coun
ty will be held at Plattsmouth on
the 24th inst, and that the Missouri
icific will run a special train for
the benefit of the delegates from
the south part of the county, and
the H. & M. trains will be ample
to accomodate the delegates" from
the north.
This is exceedingly kind on the
part of the railroads, in fact it is
ike heaping coals of fire on the
leads ot those who persecute von
and do you evil. Nebraska Lity
News.
The Banks Gain Millions.
Press reports from New York re
port that the secretary of the tivas
ury when in that city a few days
aeo authorized the statement tnat
le would promptly deposit money
in the hanks, if money rates hard
ened and that he would immediately
return to the banks in the shape of
public deposits the money received
rom the sale of Panama canal
muds. So the banks under this
arrangement are to have their cake
and eat it too. They buy the canal
bonds and draw the interest and
our kind and devoted friend of the
corporations, the secretary of the
treasury, will hand them back the
money, "if money rates harden,"
and who can doubt the rates will
not "harden" under such an incen
tive. If the rates harden to n
per cent, the banks would be able
to loan the 530,(1(10.000 at the rate
of 5-,,M,."(io a year and at the
same time be drawing the regular
interest of 2 per cent on the bonds
or (ioo,(ioo.
The question naturally arises,
whv did the administration sell
Panama bonds when the money
was not needed in the treasury?
Kcspcctlully rctcircu to the presi
dent and his secretary of the treas
ure.
it not look better for these peo; !e
to pursue a common sense view f
the matter, get married and follow
the scripture in its advice to multi
ply and replenish the earth? It is
never to late tt) do good.
It seems that most of the Lin
coln republicans in the eastern
states arc withdrawing from the
present organization. If they be
lieve in the principles of the im
mortal Lincoln, it is a great won
der thev have remained with the
present corrupt party so long.
How many Lincoln republicans
are there in Nebraska?
The old maids and bachelors f I Mii.i.ionairks may come and
owa are on the defensive. Would millionaires may go, but the Stand
ard Oil flows on forever.
Tin; action of the Lancaster
county convention yesterday is
sufficient to demonstrate that Cass
and Lancastet are going it againthis
year "hand in hand." Of course
Cass will instruct for Sheldon next
lucsilay, simply tor appearance
sake, but the ring republicans knew
all the time that Lancaster would
not instruct for him.
Sknathk Sm.i.iM in should h.ive
received instructions from Lanc.is
ter count v. The hand of the railroad
lobbyst was displayed in the con
vention; this is the reason why
"Muster" Ilrown captured the del
egation and Sheldon didn't. The
lilroad people can expect nothing
from Sheldon, while they have a
friend in the attorney general, who
wants to lie senator.
Tim Lancaster county republi
cans yesterday refused to instruct
Sheldon for governor, but by a hard
strggle Pollard's friends managed to
railroad an instruction through for
lim.
the instructions also. The republi
ms of Lancaster county are split
wide open, and to such an extent
that it will be hard to close. There
was a very bitter feeling manifest
ed.
It is now explained that Secret
ary Taft was sent to North Carolina,
because those "lUackburu people"
had been endorsing at some of their
county conventions vice president
Fairbanks as successor to President
Roosevelt. The question is, has
Taft stopped the revolt?
Tin- race for the democratic nom
inations for govenor and Tinted
StateJSenator has narrowed down
to Shallenbarger and Merge for the
first named position, and ex-Congressman,
(1. M. Hitchcock of Om
aha, and W. H. Thompson, of
Grand Island. And the friends of
the latter are moving the heavens
and the earth in an effort for the
latter, while Hitchcock does not
seem to be worrying about the
matter.
A Republican Prediction.
That erudite and trust controled
republican purveyor of news the
New York Sun in a late issue says:
"The Sun craves permission to
present its humble service to the
supreme powers at Oyster Hay, to
Messrs. Piatt and Depew, to the
new and austere hierarchy of Odell
and associates, to one Prank Way-
land Higgins. the putative governor
of the state of New ork, and to
all the soberminded and self-respecting
republicans to whose confidence
it can appeal, and with all deference
and respects submits:
"The next governor of the state
of New York will be a democrat.
"The next govenor of the state of
New York will be the president of
the I'nited States."
Yet after all the Situ will le mis
taken and the next governor of New-
York will not be the next president
of the United States. Hut its pre
diction shows the democratic trend
of public opinion nnd that even re
publicans sc the probable downfall
of the party of trust, protection,
graft and scandals.
Pit) 'tis 'tis True.
( :u- of the leading journals o
the country says- 1 he highest lin
ancia lew aids ot oolitics are no
longer offices, but contracts, fran
hises and special privileges."
Another great journal says
The cheap rewards of politica
place count for little now in politi
cal maneuvers. The'boss'is no long
er the man w ho distributes 'patron
age.' The real boss is the railroai
man, the traction man, the insur
ance man, the man who is willing
to contribute enormous sums to the
campaign fund, if only his own in
terests le lett sate or his new pro
jeets be aided."
"Protection," which means fav
oritism, is the price paid for ofli
eials, high and low, in return for
contributions. The corHrations
pay tribute to the party in power
:uul the nartv in power gives the
corporations the privilege of plun
dering the people with impunity
"Protection," in the form of higl
tariffs, franchises, false certificates
like those- given to the Uef trust
and inununitv from punishment
for crimes, is the policy now.

Ci-okdi- W. Hkkck seems to be
in the lead so far for the democratic
nomination for govenor. Recently
250 leeters were sent out asking
democrats who they were for, and
out of that uumber 23$ were for
Berge. Straws show which way the
wind blows.
Down in Tennessee, where there
has been some foolish talk of a
Roosevelt wedge in the Solid South,
they are saying that there wouldn't
be any republican party there if
there were no federal offices to be
filled. Same wav in Arkansas:

important about the Thaw murder
case that it should claim so much
attention. The whole affair amounts
to some disgraceful preform-

socially high, and morally low, and
whose title to notoriety is their
wealth. Probably shooting and
stabbing scrapes of the same nature
occur every night on the Bowery,
and the public is not burdened with
the harrowing details.

This last congress has squander
ed enough of the people's money to
give us one of the best administra
tions in the history of the world,
but they have done nothing which
will be of any pratical benefit or

been enough loop holes left in the
laws enacted for the corporations to
crawl through and take their
"swag" with them. That's what
the corporations have paid attorneys
in congress for, and they have ac
complished their purpose despite
the supposed "man of iron" in the
executive chair, or more properly
speaking, with his aid and consent.
