Now for postmaster we are a
candidate and our work in the in.

speaks for itself.
:o:
The house ami senate will both
be democratic-, which is the way it
should be to give President. Wil

The election of Wilson and
Marshall is one of the greatest
political thumps in the history of
this country. Might as well have
made it unanimous.

John II. Morehead by the little
governor did not get him much
He evidently made votes for the

are very slow coming in, and are
getting slower every year. We
are unable to see any cause for it.
At last accounts Morehead had

was still increasing his vote.

in connection with Chas. S. Sher

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN.
What makes the difference be
tween men? Although the prin
ciples upon which lhi govern
ment is founded declare that all
men are created equal, and this
is being loudly reiterated by the
disciples of a certain ethical cult,
no person of any discernment can
deny the fact that there is a vast
difference between.the majority of
mankind. Stand on a street cor
ner and watch the passing crowd
and the contrast between the
arious members of it will be
great. One man 'slouches by
dragging his feet as though he dii
not have sullicieut energy to raise
them as he walks; his hair is un
kempt, his hat thrown on without
regards to looks; his coal droops
and his trousers are shapeless;
ll'i'i'c is an atmosphere of dejec
Don about him that is depressing,
and neither his attitude nor his
appearance are calculated to com
mand the respect of those who
meet him. Walking just behim
him comes a man, quick, alert
fully alive, and it is but a 1110111-

The indications point to a llm
holiday trade. The crops general
ly have been good and the people
are disposed to spend plenty o
money during the holidays. The
wastefulness that formerly char
acterized the celebration of the
holidays has been curbed lo a
great extent. Hut the giving of
presents is generally observed
and the class of goods purchased
is even better and more sensible
an the days when extravagance
was in vogue, u no proper observ
ance of the holiday spirit is com
mendable. It has become a sol
tied anniversary for the world of
Christendom and nowhere in the
wide world are the people in bet
ter condition financially for the
festivities than in the central por
tion of the United States. Tho
retail merchants have bought
liberally in anticipation of a heavy
holiday trade. Doubtless they
wil not be disappointed.

Will Maupin's Weekly. Aye!
nt before he passes the first one
on the street as doubtless he has
surpassed his neighbor in the
pursuit of success in his chosen
walks of life.
To look at such a man is a
pleasure, for his whole appear-
ince commands respect. His ap
parel and his demeanor are of one
who respects himself and whom
the world honors. Perhaps these
men were neighbors wnoii chil
dren and had an equal chance for
education and business advance
ment, but one has oulstipped the
other and the distance is so great
between them that they do not
even know each other as they pass
in the street. What, has made
I hem different when they started
apparently equal; no man can
te. One man is trustworthy and
upriglil, while Hie oilier lias no
sense of honor and though he may
not be a drunkard, he is "down
and out," and complains bitterly
thai the world has not treated him
fairly. Perhaps be has merely
lost his grip through inisforl unes
Dial have come lo mm: me loss
of money, friends or relatives
Possibly I he other man may havi
met with similar mishaps, but he
had more stamina and recupei
alive power. He simply refused to
be downed by misfortune, regard
less of w hat they were.
The tlrsl man seized upon any
excuse for what was really his own
negligence. Not that he was re
sponsible for the loss of relatives
by death, though it may have been
on account of his own careless
ness; but he certainly might have
retained the regard of friends by
paying proper attention to them
Doubtless he was self-conscious
and cultivated a hypersensitive
feeling that made him ever on the
lookout for slights and quick to
resent what may not Jiave been
intentional. He nursed his
grouches until he became incapa
ble of doing anything and could
not. pay attention to business. No
man can keep friends or retain his
business, whether he be an em
ployee or manager, who does not
have some regard for others; he
can neither keep a position nor
retain the patronage of custom
ers if he neglects them.
(I will not do to act on the idea
that the world owes one a living
and that the debt is to be collect
ed regardless of a "quid pro quo;"
for as a rule a fair return is ex
acted for all that we get from the
world. If the laborer is worthy of
his hire he should see that he
earns his pav. in endeavor 10
snatch a living from a grudging
paymaster is to antagonize. On
the other hand, a good business
man demonstrates his self-re
spect in his trim appearance, and
all whom he may meet recognizes
the fact, at a glance. Having n
good opinion of himself ho im
presses the fact upon others, for
the world is quite apt to take ont
at his' own valuation, unless the
figures are manifestly too high.
He is constantly on the alert lo
please, as he values the good will
of his associates and thus is wil
ling to render service to gain their
approbation. inis man is de
termined to make a success of
himself as well as of his business
and thus he studies how the end
may he attained, lie Knows tne
value of cheerfulness and willing
service, so he has a smile lor
everyone.

Will Maupin's Weekly, which
has done such valiant work for
the democratic state ticket, has
ceased publication, and Mr. Mau
pin will, about the llrst of De
cember, begin the publication of
a monthly magazine, entitled
"Midwest." It will be devoted
principally to Nebraska and her
resources. Will Maupin has al
ready achieved great fame in the
publication of his weekly, which
has been .greatly devoted to the
special interests of Nebraska. The
new publication will give Mr.
Maupin a great opportunity to
"spread himself" and we are wil
ling to wage anything within rea
son that this magazine will be
worthy of the support of every
one who has the true interests of
our great state at heart. Success
