A prominent democratic poli
tician was approached Ihe other
day hy a well known lady suf
fragist, asking his support for Ihe
cause, and here is the substance
of his reply: "If the suffragists
of .Nebraska, in convention as
sembled, will pass resolutions
condemning the depredations en
acled by Mrs. l'uukluirst and her
followers in England. I will sup
port woman suffrage. ' She left
him with no reply. Will they

TOO MUCH BOSSISM.
I he best wav for democrats to
secure harmonious action, so that
in Ihe approaching 'state election
results may iiij obtained inat will
be construable as an indorsement
of the administration, is to treat
each oilier fairlv and avoid the
taking of unfair advantage.
It is useless lo deny that llier
are two well-defined factions in
Ihe Nebraska democracy and that
they are aggressive in seeking to
obtain advanfase of each other.
If each is delerinined to have
eerthintr its own way in the
conlrol of the party machinery
and tjie conduct of the party con
ventions, it is going to be very
eay to get up a light that will
dissipate any chance Ihe demo
crats may have of carrying the
tale and securing1 an indorsement
of the national administration.
If democrats are to be expected
lo vole Ihe parly ticket and help
express approval of the national
adrninislralion they must not lie
continually confronted and given
I.. ,, ... I . ...I II. ..I II...- !.,.( I
lor lactional reasons, recognized
as members of the party which
they have followed and sustained
all of their lives.
There has been a species of
osl racini in operation in the
democratic parly in this slate for
some time which dVs not promise
well for the, party. Men who have
been recognized all of lliejf lives
as members of the party of Jeffer
son and Jackson, of Cleveland and
Uryan, are conslantly being told
that I hey are not recognized as
democrats now. II, is unreason
able to expect that under such
circumstances they will exert
IhemseUes lo secure an indorse
ment of the national adrninislra
lion. If the provocation is suffi
cient, they may even be exasper
ated into throwing their strength
against such ai indorsement.
Any democratic leadership that
does not recognize existing- con
ditions in this regard is worse
I ban unwise. Every unfair advan
tage exercised by one faction
against the oilier simply makes
more difficult the reconciliation
that must come before the demo-
cra.s oi .erasha can nope in
i j i t. i i.l
work in harinonv for an indorse-
ment of the national adininistra-
lion and the election of the slate
ticket.
It would be very easy for the
hitherto hostile democrats in
Nebraska to get together. The
voting masses of the democracy
are anxious for a retsoration of
harmony. Thev want to see the
national administration indorsed
because they believe it has been
a good administration and ought
lo be indorsed. They would like
lo see the democrats present a
united front in the light for the
loiuioi o i mis siaie.
, I.. I ! 11." I
aii mat stanus in the way of
democratic harmony are Ihe per-
sonal ambitions or a few leaders
and their determination to brook
no opposition by their rivals for
parly supremacy.
If the vole of Nebraska should
be anything else than an indorse-
ment of the national administra- that it has come to stay, unless it

it can't be done bv those who think

It must be done bv one element
considering the other element just
as good as they are. and entitled
to just as much respect
in tin
councils of the parly. The demo-
era tie- masses will not submit to
bossism any longer. They have
had enough of this. If we are a
party of the people, let it be ruled
by the common masses, and not
by the few who have been trying to
control the whole business. Right
is right, and wrong is wrong.

She was a lady prominent m

evidence pointed so unmistakably
lo her that she has been indicted
by the grand jury "for mailing
obscene, lend and lascivious let
ters" and has been held to the
grand jury. It does not appear
that she was aclualed by a spirit
of revenge, but rather look delight
in stirring up trouble and in
volving her friends and acquaint
ances in scandal, and sowing
dissensions and strile m tne
community. There are some
people who delight in dabbling
in flllh, and who are perpetually
circulating evil tales, gossiping,
whispering and insinuating and,
like the dungeon toad, seeming to
fatten upon the poison which lliey

these cipers? We hope not.

TWO KINDS OF PATRIOTISM.
We must have been a very
patriotic nation a few vears ago.
We were so thoroughly imbued
with love of country that when the
Fourth of July came along we
just uncorked all the loyally and
enthusiasm that had been bottled
up for twelve months. We got up
early in the iiinrinni: and shot oil"
cannon crackers under our sleepy
neighbor's window. We spent
hours in a fusilade' that tilled
every city street with a rattle as
of musketry and an intolerable
stench of burnt powder. We
helped the children lire toy
pistols, and aided and abetted the
Use of detonating canes thai ex
ploded on the sidewalk and made
the unwary pedstrian jump half

just as patriotic as we used to be.
