O. A. MILLER, Chairman;
P. C. Hansen, Sect'y.
Democrats, don't forget the pri
maries Saturday evening next.
Every voter at tbe coming election
should express his choice for U. S.
senator.
Free and unrestricted coinage of
both gold and silver, at 16 to 1, should
be the rallying cry in the coming cam
paign by every one who works with his
hands.
The democratic convention for Cass
county, which is called for Sept. 12
(Wednesday of next week), should be
a rouser. Every democrat in tbe
county ought to be represented,
through the primaries, in itsdelegates.
Genuine tariff reform is not
"tinkering"' with the tariff. To at
tempt to give special privileges to favor
itesas the senate syndicate has done
is "tinkering'' in the worst sense.
The country demands a complete over
throw of the ' tinkers," and the estab
lishment of a tariff for revenue.
Organized labor has begun an effort
to secure the impeachment of Attorney
General Olney tor the part he took in
the manipulation of the law to over
come the recent strike In Chicago, and
TriE Journal is free to express the
hope that its fight will be won. An
official whose highest aim is to over
throw liberty is unfit to hold any office.
Wk take it that every man who does
not live on a salary which is not re
duceable is by interest in favor of an im
mediate return to bimetallism, and
men, as a rule, favor that which is to
their interest. Bimetallism is the only
thing within reach that will bring per
manent prosperity to thi3 country, and
the soonet the people find this out and
act upon it the quicker they will appre
ciate its benefit.
Congressman Bryan Saturday took
charge of the Omaha World-Herald.
The first day's columns bristle all over
with editorials from his trenchant
pen, and indicate that on the tripod be
has qualities as a writer equal in force
and analytic power to the efforts which
have made him famous on the rostrum,
on the stump and in the hall of the
house of representatives. The Jour
nal predicts for his new venture com
plete success.
Osz of the bills passed at tbe late
session of congress was of especial in
terest and beneGt to pensioners. It pro
vides that hereafter all fourth-class
postmasters are"empowerea,aumonzea
and required" to administer all oaths
required to be made by pensioners and
their witnesses in the execution of
vouchers for getting their pensions,
etc and are allowed to charge 25cents
for each voucher. The new law will
add some to the emoluments of the
village postmaster, as well as the con
venience of the veterans.

MB. MORTON WOCLD BE A SENATOR.
The latest and most precious bit of
news that comes from Washington is to
tbe effect that Secretary Morton has
decided to enter the race for U. S.
Senator at the coming sessioH of the
legislature. A dispatch to the St.
Louis Republic from "Washington,
states that Mr. Morton thinks the
democrats will control the legislature
this winter, and, as be can serve in the
cabinet until March 4th next and will
have a six year term if elected to the
senate and only two years more as a
member of the cabinet, he prefers to
go to the senate when he can. The
name of Fred L. Fraucis, an employe
of the weather bureau, is given as one
of the promoters of Mr. Morton's
scheme, and thinks it very feasible.
With Mr. Morton in the field for
senator it will be interesting to note
the result on the democratic primaries
in the couuties yet to hold them
whether the people will favor Morton
or Bryan delegations. It strikes us
that Mr. Morton is going into the field
at rather a late date in view of the an
nouncement made some months ago by
Mr. Bryan; but perhaps he thinks it
llieotilj means al hand of preventing
a nomination of liryan by the state
convention.
Tnu Journal does not believe that
Mr. Morton will find much encourage
ment iu his race. He will find that the
s'ngle gold standard, which he advo
cates, is no more popular than it was
in 1SD2, when his vote for governor was
nearly 7,000 less in the first district
than was that for Mr. Bryan. Let the
fight go on.
The populists of the state seem to be
largely infected with the "middle of
the road" virus, and seem more anx
ious to have their candidates pose as
tartizans than to seek to succeed by
moderation or non-partizan combina
tion. There is a secret behind all this
that is important in its bearing, and it
is well for genuine reformers in that
party to study it. It is a singular fact,
as far as we have been able to observe,
that talk of that sort all orginates and
is carried on by men in the populist
party who were originally republicans
and are still infected with the virus of
protectionism. The man Taubeneck,
who is at the head of the populist na
tional committee, is more fearful that
protectionism will be injured by a
union of the elements who are in sub
stantial accord than he is that tbe
populist party will be hurt by it. He
it was who promoted the nomination
of J. M. Devine in the third Nebraska
district, and the design is to prevent a
combination to defeat Meiklejohn.
Populists should open their eyes to this
condition of things.
Iowa citizens are about to erect a
monument to the honor of its soldiery,
and, singular to say, there are some of
its living soldiers who are vying with
each other for the honor of having their
names or faces emblazoned on its
sides. It strikes us that there are quite
enough who heroically fell fighting for
the defense of the Union and the honor
of the state without embracing the
questionable taste of attempting to
honor any living man. Of all men
whom Iowa should delight to honor, it
appears to us, William II. Kinsman, of
the 23d infantry, stands at the head of
the list and yet, we learn, that his
name has not even been suggested. It
is a shame that personal ambition
should be allowed to overreach the de
mands of a high sense of patriotic
duty in a matter which is intended as
an inspiration for the future sons of
the state. The writer feels that he
has some right to be heard on this sub
ject, having served four years in an
Iowa regiment and done something
toward maintaining its honor on the
field of battle.
The Uuited States senate needs re
forming, by the insertion of new blood
into its composition. The fathers of
the republic, when they framed the
constitution came near adopting the
plan of allowing the states to recall
their senators and send a new senator
in his place. They had no idea that a
senator would ever be elected for more
than one term. If the senate were
composed of young men, like Lodge of
Massachusetts and Bryan of Nebras
ka a rule for closing debate at the
order of a majority would be passed in
short order. "Senatorial courtesy" is
a senatorial humbug that ought to be
wiped out in a jiffy.
The national democratic congres
sional committee and Chairman Wm.
L. "Wilson of the ways and means com
mittee are working at cross purposes
as to the tariff bill. This was to be ex
pected, as the committee is under con
trol of Senator Falkner, one of the
senate "herrings," who belongs to the
coal syndicate. Disaster may follow
this year, but it will surely result in
the purifying of the party from the
corrupting influence of protectionism.
Mr. Wilson is right, and should be
sustained by the democracy of the
country, and thoBe senators who have
Constipation and sick
manently cured, and piles prevented
hv JaDanese Liver Pellets; especially
been "ploughing with the heifer"
of protection must be driven from
public lire or into the republican party
where they belong.
The apostles of Jesus had their
Iscarriot, the American revolution
had its Arnold, and the democrats in
their efforts to secure genuine tariff
reform now have their senatorial
coterieof traitors to the cause but that
will not prevent the movement for
freeing America from the thraldom of
New England protectionism from
marching onward to ultimate triumph
ant adoption. Partially freed from its
curse the people will only have an ap
petite whetted for future conquest, un
til the whole system of at favoritism
and privilege is wiped out of existence.
The protectionists are in a bad box
as to the new tariff law. They are
badly put out because of its passage,
because it breaks down some of the
strongholds of the system, and they are
so glad because it is no worse that they
dare not abuse the bill. So they go at
it in patches, they curse free cottonties
and a few articles of southern use,
and declare it to be sectional on that
ground. Let them go on. The bill is
only an entering wedge which, when it
gets in its work, will leave the whole
crowd without a hook to hang a hope
on.
The Nebraska City Press is very
anxious that a full state ticket shall
bo nominated by the democrats, and
predicts the ruin of the party unless
this course is taken. It is not so
anxious for the opposition to republi
canism to get together as was Mr.
Morton four years ago. The fact is
that with the democrats and populists
each having a full ticket up will re
sult in the continuance of the republi
cans in power, as the News probably
knows. We believe it to be more im
portant to beat the republicans than
anything else.
The democrats of Cass county want
to make sure to express their senti
ments on thecurrency question at their
convention next Wednesday. It would
be in bad taste and cowardly for them
to evade the question. Let it be a
square declaration either for a gold
standard or for bimetallism at 1G to 1
"without asking the aid or advice of
any other nation on earth." Gold
coinage alone, or immediate free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver.
No dodging.
"The protective tariff is highway
robbery," says Congressman Champ
Clark of Missouri, "under the protec
tive system Ithode Island is the richest
per capita state in the union; that
country which God intended to be the
poorest is the richest, and the Missis
sippi and Missouri valley that caused
Thomas B. Reed, when he saw it, to
exclaim: 4My God, the soil is so rich
if we had it in the east we would sell
it by the peck for seed this country
has, by comparison, been getting
poorer.'"
Of course the republicans will not
follow Kosewater in their opposition
to Tom Majors' election. The rank
and file of that party follow their lead
ers without question, and the leaders
are all under the dominion of the rail
waysat least they are indebted to
them for favors, and they dare not op
pose the railway politicians. It is a
clear case of bargain and sale. Still
the republican party prides itself on its
patriotism. Hades is full of such
patriotism.
The recent investigation by the
government commission of the late
strike has left Carroll D. Wright, labor
commissioner, in a most unenviable
light. He has been riding for years on
a Pullman palace car pass from George
M. Pullman, and he refuses to give it
up. It was noted during the
hearings that his associates were much
more anxious to get at the whole truth
than he. How has the mighty fallen!
The popular fad among all demo
crats is to favor Wm. J. Bryan for
senator, and on this score there is no
opposition. With some people the
matter of a platform is a non-essential
affair; but with Mr. Bryan it is every
thing. He would not accept a sena
torship on a single gold standard
platform if handed to him on a gold
platter. Remember that.
TnE ruin and loss of life wrought by
the forest fires of Minnesota is some
thing terrible to contemplate. As far
as known 450 lives were lost belonging
to the villages of Hinkley, Sandstone,
Miller, Pokegama and various lumber
camps. The details are simply horrible.
Notwithstanding the hard times
this country has one great thing to be
thankful for: McKinleyism is dead
and protectionism, has received a
deadly blow.
