Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 18. To the
Editor of The State Journal: As a re
publican I wish you would put up to
every Nebraska aspirant for the repub
ican nomination for congress and par
ticularly 1 to Congressman Pollard, the
question whether, if nominated and
elected, he will cast his vote for Joe
Cannon for speaker of the next house;
also the further question, if he proposes
to vote for Cannon, why does he not
vote instead for a republican speaker
of the progressive type. I am open to
persuasion on the part of party as
sociates, but my present conviction is
that I am being goldbricked when ask
ed to vote for a republican congress
man of the progressive kind who, on
reaching Washington, will put his pro
gressive principles in cold storage with
the distinguished reactionary who as
speaker has blocked Roosevelt policies
as much as he could and thereby given
some hopes to the democracy, at least
in the middle west. A vote for Joe

Cannon looks to me like a vote for all
that he stands for and a vote against
all that he opposes, and I wish to know
whether any would-be republican con
gressman from Nebraska will have the
hardihood to make his race in Nebraska
this year on that platform.

Land Commissioner at Wasta, S. D.,
Sends Details of Sale
The Journal is in receipt of a com
munication from Davfd P. Thomas, U.
S. Commissioner, at Wasta, S. D., re
lative to the auction sale of public lands
adjacent to that town on September 16.
Mr. Thomas states that he is in receipt
of many communications from parties
in this vicinity relative to this matter,
which he finds it impossible to answer,
owing to the heavy work in his office,
hence he asks that the following brief
synopsis of the sale be given:
"That by an Act of Congress, certain
lands of the government domain were
given to the State of South Dakota, for
the purpose of building up and develop
ing the State and its various institutions.
Approximately 27,000 acres of this land
adjoining Wasta, S. D., on the P. R.
C. & N. W. Ry., (Northwestern line,)
will be sold at public auction to the
highest bidder, on September 16, 1908.
This is, strictly speaking, State Land.
There are no requirements as to resid
ence, occupancy, cultivation or improve
ments. I migbt add that the lands to
be sold are the choicest lands of the
State of South Dakota, having been
selected by a commission several days
ago, prior to settlement, thus giving
them a vast area of land to select from
and I feel no hesitancy in saying that
it is positively the choicest land to be
found in this section of the country. I
would suggest that all interested part
ies who desire full information and
particulars regarding the land, the
terms of sale, and the various details
in connection therewith, correspond
with the Secretary of the Wasta Com
merical Club for full details.
Berge is Confident
"I believe that Bryan will carry Ne
braska by several thousands," said
George V. Berge, candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor of
this state, to a reporter of the Fremont
Herald the other day.
"I have traveled over the state con
siderably of late," said Mr. Berge. "I
have sounded democratic sentiment in
many counties and I am convinced that
Mr. Bryan will carry the state in Nov
ember. Unless some of us are badly
duped his plurality will be 25,000. That
is the way it looks a, present and
would not be surprised at a democratic
landslide that would envelope the whole
country in a wave of Bryan enthusiasm
I think that the prospects are very fa
vorable for a democratic victory.
'As to the gubernatorial situation I
believe that I will be nominated. It
seems to me that that is sure. I am
naturally anxious to be the nominee of
the party and after that to be elected
I desired to carry on the work of pro
gressiveness in Nebraska according to
the standards of the democratic party
, "Thirty-Cent Clubs"
Mr. Bryan's Indiana friends are mak
ing a most effective and sensible reply
to the New York Tribune's sneering
and insolent, "Won't somebody con
tribute 30 cents to the Bryan fund?"
They are banding themselves together
into clubs known as "Thirty-Cent clubs, "
each member giving just that amount
to the campaign fund. The first club
organized raised $20 the first day, and
has "hardly begun to fight." Similar
clubs are being organized all over the
state.
It is a good idea, we see no reason
why it should be confined to Indiana
There isn't a Bryan club in Nebraska
or any other state, for that matter,
whose every member would not gladly
give 30 cents as a retort courteous to
the Tribune's insulting jeer at Mr,
Bryan and the democratic party lor ap
pealing to the plain peorJe for campaign
funds.
The World-Herald suggests, to the
several hundred Bryan Volunteer clubs
and other democratic organizations in
the state, that the Indiana example is
not a bad one to follow. This fund
could, and should, be entirely separate
and distinct from other democratic com-
paign funds, in order the more emphat
ically to rebuke the leading Taft organ
of the country, the New York Tribune.

In Justice Court today there were
three small cases filed and Justice Arch

defendants. He could not find that a
contract for the work in question had
been made by the plaintiffs and de
fendants believing that the mistake re
sulted from a misunderstanding of the
parties.

munication with Shore
at Ia Guaira.
Caracas. Aug. 10. A sensation has
been caused in diplomatic circles by
the refusal of President Castro to per
mit the Brazilian minister to take
charge of French interests in Venezue
la, although Ir. Jose Paul, the Vene
zuelan minister of foreign affairs,
originally agreed to this arrangement
As a consequence of the attitude of
President Castro the foreign minister
has Indited a second note to the effect
that the government now refuses to
accede to this arrangement because
the dispute between Venezuela iind
France hears a close relation to Vene
zuela's dispute with the United States
and the promised arrangement would
therefore endanger the continuance of
friendly relations with Ruizil.
Significant Invitation.
The French interests necessarily are
being neglected, and many monthly in
stallments due to French claimants are
still uncollected. It is very unlikely in
view of the present state of affairs
that President Castro will permit the
representative of any of the foreign
countries to take the French interests
In hand. President Cflstro has left
here for a ' trip to Rarquislmeto, em
barking on the gunboat Itestaurador
for Tiicneas. which is about twenty
five miles from Puerto Cabello. The
president invited the Rritish minister
to accompany him, which Is believed
to be significant in view of the present
crisis.
Fxcitement at LaGuaira.
When the Dutch cruiser Gelderland.
after taking away Minister de Reus,
came back to La (Juaira without saint
ing. and with decks in fighting trim,
the greatest excitement reigned here in
Caracas, as it was known that Castro's
new French coast defense guns mount
ed on the mountain side above La
Guaira and on the loach had been
maae ready to meet any emergency.
Speculation was rife as to whether the
warship would bring an apology for
the de Reus letter and the stoning of
Consul Lopez In Curacoa. a demand for
the immediate release of Carlos .Perret
Gentil. a Dutch merchant of La
(Jnaira recently imprisoned on a con
traband charge, or an ultimatum of
some kind.
Not Allowed to Communicate.
The curious were doomed to disap
pointment, however, as the unexpected
happened, as it usually does here.
The cruiser was not allowed to com
mtmlcate with the shore, or deliver
any of the documents which It brought,
presumably because of its failure to
salute on this and a recent occasion
bus been considered an offense by
President Castro. So the Gelderland
had to return to Curacoa -with its mis
sion unfulfilled.
Embargo on Curacoa Trade.
On learning of the stoning of his con
sul in Curocoa and the desecration of
the Venezuelan shield and consulate
there General Castro lost no time in
severing diplomatic relations with the
queen of Holland, pending an apology
and Indemnification for the Insults al
leged to have been recently suffered.
He also put an absolute embargo on

ders that the First infantry of Chicago
shall return to thsit city today. The
only piece of violence reported during
the day occurred on North Eighth
street. A sinall crowd of white men
and boys set uon a negro and leat
him severely. He managed to break
away and ran. pursued by his assail
ants. The affair was reported to the
limrquarters of General Wells, but the
roughs had scattered by the time soJ
dlers reached the scene.
Iw and Order Must Iteign.
Following Governor Deneen's proc
lamation calling upon all citizens to
aid In restoring order and promoting
justice, an enthusiastic meeting of
business men was held at the Chamber
of Commerce. It was called to order
by Ir. K. A. Hall, who introduced E.
L. Chapin as chairman. The lattpr
launched into a vigorous address in the
course of which he said that "the
question lief ore us is whether law and
order shall prevail in this community,
or whether it shall be committed to
the rule of riot, ruin and rebellion.
We love this city, and no
nol. jarge or sinall. shall defv the
law."
Color IJne Is Cut Out.
A torrent of applause followed the
speech, and was continued when other
orators delivered themselves if similar
sentiments. The resolutions had been
previously drawn by Dr. J. W. Scott,
who was health officer of the state
under Governor Altgcld. but when his
production was read Dr. Scott discov
ered with a show of anger that to the
original demand for the protection of
"life. liberty and property to every
citizen." somebody had added "with

Dr. Scott protested against these words
