Oklahoma is in a serious condition from drougth and unless they soon hare rain all crops will be entirely destroyed. The Falls City News says the present rise in wheat is due to silver agitation. That would be "important if true." But it is not true. There is daily noticeable an increas ing activity in real estate exchanges and everything indicates that a single good crop in this state would almost wipe. out the remembrance of the bard times. Adyiss a girl that social damnation is in the path she is treading, and she'll sit up nights to hate you: advise a young man, for cause, not to wed a certain lady, and he'll marry her cr suicide. Then don't do either, but you will. Ossard will be given thousands of dollars by republican legislation as a beet sugar bounty again this year. When it comes to stealing from the general public for a private capitalist or a corporation the republicans air strictly in it. Toe Nebraska City Press wants the farmers of Otoe county when they ship their fruit and grain to the mar kets this fall to mark on the invoice in great big red letters: "This bill is payable in gold or its equivalent only' What's sauce for the goose, etc. Nay, nay, Andrew, you're wrong. The expression "free" silver does not mean that money made of that metal will be free for everybody. It will require just as much honest toil for the average man to acquire a silver dollar under free coinage laws as it now re quires. It is pretty hard to have the state support a man for eighteen years and then be thrown out of office by a pop governor, but that seems to be the fate of the superintendent of the insane asylum at Lincoln. He should now be made to go without another office for eighteen years. Toe more that people think about and consider the question now agitat ing the public minds, the more they are convinced that the source of all disturbances financially, is the direct result of people spending more than they earn. There are but two ways of getting money. One is to work for and earn it, the other is to steal it. No legislative enactment can change this immutable law. Now that business is adjusting it self to the new conditions made pos sible by the passage of the Wilson tar iff bill prices on all commodities are going up to where producers can make money, while the revival of business generally gives the consumers an op portunity to earn money with which to purchase. Within another year people will be so prosperous as to forget that hard times ever prevailed. The new mayor of the city of Lin coin is a thorough sport. He has not only lifted the embargo which sent the gamblers and the soiled doves to the bottoms, but he has just issued a proclamation calling upon the bus! ness men of Lincoln to encourage the base ball team in a substantial way. By the time the state conventions meet the mayor hopes to have things down to a normal condition. It has been predicted by knowing ones that the shortage in hogs for the next two or three months will amount to 100,000 a month, says the Nebraska Farmer. If the mcney market were easy it is believed that prices would fairly soar until another nog crop Is nroduced. With high priced corn it will be natural to feed off the hogs for market at an early age, besides it will tend to cut down the crop of spring plga in numbers. At the very best our figures point to high priced pork for twelve months to come. A good corn crop this year will put a finishing touch to a boom in bogs. I1ASK lNCllt ATITUDE. Quite a number of subscribers to Thk Journal, failed to receive their paper last week, and the omission is not the fault or should not be charged to the present management. The fact is well known to nearly all readers of The Journal, that the paper has been in financial straits perpetually during the past few years, and that on several occasions the leading democrats of both the city and county have been appealed to for financial assistance to keep the paper alive. During the month of October last year a mortgage for $300 in favor of the Citizens' bank aud against the ofiice was foreclosed, and a distress warrant for some $100 for over-due taxes was issued against the plant by the county treasurer. The publication of the daily was stopped and for ten days the sheriff had pos session. After an unsuccessful effort to raise the money to meet these obli gations several of the leading demo crats were induced to give their in dividual notes for various amounts, payable in six months, and one of the banks loaned the money ($550) upon these notes, the parties making the notes taking a mortgage upon the paper for their security. This mortgage fell due several weeks ago, and at Mr. Sherman's request the mortgagees foreclosed and took pos session of the paper under the terms of their mortgage. One reason why the foreclosure was asked was to pre vent the plant being levied upon to satisfy a judgment obtained by the es tate of John Fitzgerald for oilice rent, amounting to nearly $400, and thus force the mortgagees to defend their claims in court. The property was all supposed to have been turned over to the mortga gees, as called for by the mortgage, hut instead of being so it was dis covered that the entire mailing list of the weekly had been removed from the office. Last week's issue was printed and ready for mailing before the mail ing list was missed, and the edition was delayed in the office for two das. Finally an old copy of the list was found and the mail made up, but as this list was several years old all changes in that time were necessarily missed, and the entire miscellaneous list of nearly two hundred failed to re ceive their papers. What the ex-editcr of The Jour nal, hopes to gain by such treatment of his subscribers many of whom have paid him in advance for the paper and of his democratic friends who came to assistance iu time of need is not conceivable. The price of meat is going up be cause the supply is smaller than usual. The drougth last year and the small hay and corn crop throughout the west reduced the number of cattle offered for sale, says the Hastings Democrat. This is unfortunate for the meat con sumers, but it will elTect the producers materially. They will receive as much money for their few cattle as they have usually received for their many cattle. There is an interesting economic law in operation here which it is well to re member when we are talking about the evils of small crops. There is ap parently a fixed sum which is spent for products of any kind every year. When the supply ia small the price goes up and the people without money deny themselves of the article. When tho supply is large the price goes down an I great quantles are consumed. The amount received by the producer re mains practically the same with large crops or small crops. The last legislature enacted a law that will prove a discouragement to the establishment of new newspapers. The law defines a legal publication, and provides for the printing of legal notices in newspapers of not less than two hundred circulation, and after they have issued fifty-two successive issues. Thus a weekly paper would be barred from the publication of legals during the first year, which is mually the rockiest" year for the average country publisher. The new anti-lottery law appears to be having a good effect. Neither the mails nor the express companies now carry lottery matter, and the result la that the steamer which has beeh plying monthly between Hon duras and Tampa, Florida, carrying notices of drawings will make no trip this month, because there is tc be no drawing. There is good leason to believe, therefore, that this form of swindling is finally about to be wiped out. The Nebraska City News says: Col. Polk, of the I'lattemouth News, has not declared war on England for two whole days. It is feared that the col-j onel is becoming chicken hearted. J Where itarit Times are Unknown. St. Joseph Gacette. Neither varying seasons, drouths nor panics have any terrors for the haughty gamblers who thrive by forestalling the markets and naming the terms upon which humanity may have access to the great granaries and larders in which are piled up the products of fields and docks. To these privileged nurselings of greed good times and hard times are alike. According to recent Chicago telegrams, the profits of Armour, the projector of the gigan tic speculation in wheat which is at tracting so much attention, were $UG0, 000. This master stroke was contem poraneous with the deal in dressed beef. The comments of the New York World are timely and just: The one deal Illustrates the other. The principle and the method are the same in both. The man who distributes product from producer to consumer is entitled to take toll for his trouble. That is honest business. As long ns he is distributing he is preventing scarcity, feeding the hungry and clothing the naked. Every business man who hon estly does the best he can to distribute the largest possible amount of the product he handles is a benefactor of the world, doing as much for its pro gress as could be done by tho same amount of brain aud energy invested iu any otheF way. Hut when he stops distributing, when he does his best to prevent dis tribution, that instead of relieving want he may increase it then he ceases to become u benefactor and be comes an extortioner. The gambler who uses his money to prevent the distribution of wheat until he iucreaes his profits to a million ha oiued hunger Into money. lie may have deprived a family of bread for what he has taken. He has created scarcity instead of relieving it. He has increased the misery and suffering iu the world instead of diminishing it, as does every man who conducts an honest and fair business. Mr. Armour's profits are not made from bread and beef. They are made from misery and hunger at d ruin. History is filled with denunciations of the class to which Mr. Atmonr k longs. Of all the enemies of public order, of all fon.enters of n.ischief and discord, of all the enemies of man kind, the forestalls of the markets have proven themselves the very chiefs. Moreover, where, as a resi.lt of long- continued abuses and protracted op pression f f the masses, the- people have resumed the exercise of supreme authority, as they did in France about a hundred years ago, the penalties pre scribed by madness for the infraction of God's eternal laws have not fallen solely ujori the heads of public func tionaries. The forestaller of the mar kets and the robbr farmer of the taxes, the one representative of organ ized greed, the other of government perverted to ignoble purposes and con verted into an engine of robbery, have fared alike. Sooner or later the Amer ican people will get lid of these ene mies of the commonweal. How will it be accomplished? We don't know. The end and the beginning of epochs in the history of human development have been marked by distinct triumphs, sometimes of wrong and sometimes of right- The unlimited sway of the speculators and the stock jobbers wit nessed by this generation must come to an end, sometime. It is for Ameri can statesmanship to decide whether means for the emancipation of the people from the rule of corporation mongers and food monopolies shall be devised by the government and en forced through the medium of its established tribunals. The next gen eration w ill find a remedy somewhere if not peaceful, violent, and above everything else, effective. Ox Friday afternoon of In ft- week a terriGc wind storm passed over north western Iowa, demolishing buildings and killing and injuring people by the score. Several school houses were blown down and the teachers and many of the pupils were killed while others were fatally injured; The cy clone was most severe near Sioux Center and at Sibley and Southerland. Thous ands of dollars are being raised to provide and care for the homeless, the injured and the dying. The beautiful houses iu the pathway of the death dealing cyclone were in a few short minutes a mass of ruins and destruc tion. Ijffe itself was given up ns quickly, and fragments of human bodies were scattered all along its route. Thk I'apillion Times say s: We are proud of Senator Thurston'tf xorowe8s as an orator, but ashamed or tiw Jack of sincerity. He faithfully protn&ed that he would sever all connection with the railroads before the beginning of his senatorial time. Ho has broken his promise. It was a foolish pledgo at best. There was no call far it. lie was elected by men who knew that he was and always would continue u rail road employe. GOLD AMI 9ILVJTH. First As silver had been fiom time immemorial an accepted instrument of exchange aud has been adopted by our government as the measuring unit of all values, to suddenly disfranchise it was an inexcusable outrage. Second Depriving silver of its money functions and making gold the only measure of value so contracted the volume of legal tender that all debts were practically doubled, and the real and personal property which constituted the only means of payment were reduced one-half in their money or exchangeable value. Third The silver dollar Is the hon est dollar, because it has, under all circumstanceri, most nearly represen- Jted the normal value of the staple commodities of the oountiy. Fourth Tho gold dollar, by reason of its appreciation, has largely in creased its purchasing power and given to creditors an undue advantage over their debtors, virtually interfer ing with the obligation of contiact. Fifth As the difference in the mintage value of silver and gold was caused by uuwise and vicious legisla tion, the parity of value of the coins can only be effected by repealing the unfriendly laws and treating both metals alike. Sixth This goverrment, Leii g a government of the people should hold the scales of justice even between creditor and dehtor, and avoid all class legislation hich gives to either a legal advantage. Seventh The depretsion of all our industries, the non-emplo rnent of labor, the hhrinkaH iu the price of real estate, the products of farms, mines aud factories, the derangement of business, the paia!is of trade, the general discontent, the want, misery and crime which everywhere nttounds, must be attributi d to the demonetiza tion of silver. Eighth The Ilmtl deduction from facts is that it is the duty of every patriotic citizen of eeiy political patty to ignore all other issues aud cast his ballot for no man rYr president or rnembr of congress who Is not un conditionally in favor of the full en franchisement of silver at its old ratio with gold of It! to 1, without consult ing the v bhes or asking the c opera tion of any other nation. Ar.Tliofutl for nearly two years this country has been passing through what is known as "hard tines, at present the pro;pect lor business revival is brighter than at any time during the period, llusiness men and business methods hv hren tested to their utn:ost. The result has brcri that the unconservative and thnst conducting their business on torroed capital have been forced to suspend The eflVct of this general depression has pres.-ed ti e hardest upon the Ul'oriii classes. Thousands of households have been placed iu absolute want, even people of means have been foiced to confine their outlays to the actual necessaries of life 'To htld to the general condi tion of the country, Nebraska and in fact the whole northwest had a crop failure to contend with, a thing itself destructive to an ugricultuial country, even at a lime when prosperity is most bountiful. The conintei cuil leports show thai- the business tr.tns;o?ii d in the pa-tt month is greater than at any similar period since the commencement of the panic in KK. and the prospect for renewed vigor iu all occupations is close at hand. Certainly this is en couraging. and when considered in con nection wilh the ret'i-nt copious ruins which nrtkes the faun give piomiseof ait abundance, humanity in geneial has reason to rejoice ai.d b ir.'piiid with renewed hope that ere long the many homes in this beautiful land of outs will again be filled with plenty, con lent ment and happiness. Tiik Fremont Herald says: As the "only true friend of the ngricultura classes, etc," what can the republican party offer the farmers for having turned a deaf year to their enireaties to enact some form of legislation to restrain the South Omaha stock y ards people, in the policy now enforced by which they confiscate n large per cent of stock shipped to that city, under pretence of charging for feed ant! y ardage? Was the matter lost in the shullln with the so called prerogatives of the man charged with causing the severe "jar" that fractured the ver tebral column of Major's ambitionr Isn't it about time for the republi can calamity howler to let out a bow about high prices? Wages have been increased. Tho price of I aim products has increased. That "dollar wheat" which they joked the democrats about is not so far off. Trade in general has been stimulated. The bright side of life is being turned to the struggling masses and signs of prosperity are cropping out on every hand. This is terrible. Jtyall weans let the calamity ihowkr howl. LEGAL NOTICES.
