It Is probable that if Manuel were king of this country he would give Alaska to the Guggenheim. -:o:- The democratic county ronven lion held in Plattsmouth last Saturday was one of the largest and most harmonious gathering of the faithful ever held in Cass county. Every section of the county was represented by lead ing representatives of the party. :o i It should be remembered that ex-President Roosevelt not only knows all there is to know about Alaska and it richness and it methods of access, but he also knows all there is to know about the gratters who long sought and apparently have succeeded in obtaining a monopoly of them :o: Is a postmaster compelled to attend every little gathering held by the republican party in order to hold his job?

S. Upton of Union, demo cratic candidate for railway com missioner, was very much in evi dence at Fremont Tuesday. Sim was busy the entire day meeting old friends and making new ones. Mr. Upton is a hustler and we do not believe there was a prominent democrat at the convention that he did not see. In fact, we be lieve he met most of the people Success be with him. :o: i Ir. J. S. Livingston was select ed as a member of the state cen tral committee at Fremont Tues day from the Second senato rial district, composed of Otoe and Cass counties. Dr. Liv inccston newspaper saves the people in exposure of public frauds it steals two by permitting financial , has been chairman of the demo shysters to use its columns tojeratic central committee of Cass The prospect of 1 cent potage will seem less alluring if your creditors are thereby encouraged to send their bill fortnightly in stead of monthly. :o: Indiana, after manfully swat ting the fly. is to have a "kill the rat" day, on which occasion the Hoosier poets should be able to get a square meal. :o; Even the 10 cents per voter which candidates for congress are allowed to spend under the new publicity act will be an improve, ment over the kind of cigars heretofore used.

It has been easy to show that men in other countries are paid less than in the United Stales for a day's labor, and there the show ing has stopped, no figures being given on the comparative amount of work done. It appears now that some real and meaning comparisons are being made. In Japan and China, according to the testimony of an American congressman, who is himself a manufacturer, the labor cost in the produtcion of certain articles is three or four times that in American factories, al though the daily wage of the foreign workman is only a fifth as much as here. And the Satur day Evening Post, remarks that the cost of production may be less with the highest-priced labor than with the cheap labor, which is a truth that every business man knows.

He is an honest, upright, conscientious gentleman. :o: Talk about entertaining visit ors, but Fremont beats the beater at this business. If anything, she outdid herself Tuesday. One of A Plattsmouth man is planning a trip to the mountains. Some of his friends were wondering how,he largest state conventions that he could afford it, until they,ever held in Nebraska as- into foreign markets am compete with foreign manufacturers on their own ground, as they are do ing now all over the world, there may be some credence given to the stories about the cheapness of production in other countries be cause they pay thetr laborers less per day.

For sale by F. O. Fricke & Co. learned that he had five bushels of potatoes rind had mortgaged them. :o: The re-election of Chairman Byrnes and Secretary Matthews was done unanimously by the state convention.
