Virtue clad in rags is dressed in queenly raiment when vice in silk and satin appears as the picture of poverty 4MSSSSSSSSMSSSSSSSSSSaMSSSaaasSSSSalsaaiSSSSSSSBB The frosts in this section have not harmed the fruit blossoms and the out look for a bountiful yield was never more promising. j. Figures 'are said to establish the fact of a fifteen per cent shortage in cattle, and as figures cannot lie we may as well accept this as final. 1 etty thieves continue to ito a thriving business. Jail sentences are no longer a terror to this class of crim inals. A rock pile and chain gang would be. The outlook for a good season is first rate and the farmers are quite cheerful and hopeful. After another croo is raised and sold times will probably begin to look brighter. Although the democracy of Ken- tucky is divided into hostile camps on the money question there is an under - current of harmony manifested whet it comes to downing the old spirit. Five million cans of tomatoes were put up in this country last year. Aiid yet there are people living in this coun try who can remember when tomatoes were not eaten. They were called love apples and raised for ornament. Tna county democracy has bever been in better shape to make a win ning fight. All factions are now work ing in perfect harmony, which will re sult in a sweeping victory for the democrats at the coming fall election. Reports from different parts of the state indicate the heaviest rainfall in two years far the same length of time in the last ten days. This will almost Insure small grain. There will be in creased acreage of corn because seed wheat could not be had by farmers. The recent "breach in the ranks of local republicans has caused a report to be Btarted to the effect that a new republican newspaper will soon be launched on the troubled sea of jour nalism in riattsmouth. The "other side" appear to belieye that an "official organ" is necessary in their business. Ik the court room a lawyer may call a man a liar, scoundrel, villian or thief and no one makes complaint when court adjourns. If a newspaper man prints such reflections on a man's character there is a libel suit or a dead editor. Can it be that everyone be lieves the newspaper man and no one believes the lawyer ? The recent frosts have done consid erable damage in various parts of the country, while Nebraska vegetation has not suffered very much, yet on the lower grounds beans and. similar ten der plants are to a greater or less extent injured. Throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas the frost was more severe, and in localities in these states the freezing was so great that the whole produce has been dam aged and some of it totally destroyed. After a lay-off for several months' Charley Graves has resumed the pub lication of the Ledger at Union, and accounces that the paper has come to stay. During the time the publication of the Ledger was suspended the bus iness men of Union doubtless realized bow inconvenient it was for a town to try to get along without a live local newspaper, and now that its publica tion has been resumed will no doubt better appreciate the many good feat. ures of the Ledger. Mrs. Klock, a member of the late legislature of Colorado, does not ap pear entirely satisfied with the results of her experience. She doubts the wisdom of having women as members of the law-making body because the furroundings are not what they are cracked up to be. Only woman of mature age, of settled convictions, strong will and a certain indifference to masculine rudeness can hope to serve through a legislative terra and retain their self-respect. Local, republicans are already adopting their old-time tactics or "farming" the democrats on the ju dicial ticket for the second district. On a square fight with party lines drawn to the extreme tension the democracy has. a clear plurality of votes in Cass and Otoe counties, so there is no good reason why they should be "farmed" out of what right fully belongs to them. The chief wire pullers on the republican side realize that they have no show whatever In a test of strength at the polls, and here tofore have apparently risen above party lines by declaring in favor of This scheme has worked to their entire satisfaction, and a republican judge has thus been enabled to occupy the judicial bench for two terms when the wool sack could just as well have been ornamented by a democrat. This thing of "keeping the judiciary out of poli ties" may be commendable, and if our republican brethren are really and honestly in favor of it they can be so placed on record this fall by not uom iuattng a candidate on their own ticket or by endorsing the candidate selected by the democracy. Such a proposition will no doubt be received with derision by republicans, but exactly the same propositions have heretofore been made to the democrats of the district. If the republicans will not accept these peaceful propositions and thus con tinue to 4keep the judiciary out of politics" then war may as well be declared, and we'll soon see who's who and what's what in this district. TlIK MONRO: DOCTlUNt: l'he connection which (ireat liritain It is had in regard to the trouble recently occurring in the Central merican Republic of Nicaragua and theSjuth American state of Venezuela h ts .troused much consternation in the United States, least (treat llritain should attempt to gain possession of American territory. This government has been urged to enforce the prin ciples Involved in the Monroe doctrine. rhese principles were advanced by President Monroe, and were to the euct that the United States should prevent any European power from attempting to establish its foim of government in any country on this continent. The occasion for this doc trine was the intent of Spain, assisted by powers joined in the holy alliance. to regain some of the possessions lost in America. The United States be lieved that the establishing of Ku ropean system of government on the American continent would menace the freedom of its own government, and should notbe permitted. In the present Instance Great Bri tain is accused of the desire to gain possession or sumcient territory in Nicaragua to be able to govern the traflic which should pass through the Nicaragua canal, when it is completed. The fact that Great Britain is con stantly gaining more territory In Ven ezuela, and is unwilling to join with that couutry in forming a distinct line between Venezuela aud British Guiana, is cited as another scheme for gaining territory. The United States cannot Interfere, according to the Monroe doc trine, unless Great Britain is found to be actually gaining valuable posses sions on the continent, and by thus spreading British influence in America tends to impair the freedom of the United States. A Good Newspaper. A good newspaper is the best prop erty a county can have for the money it costs. We do not say this simply because we publish a paper. We will prove it. A newspaper gives aid in some way to every kind of business and public endeavor. If a merchant begins to sell off his goods at an es pecially low rate he announces It through the newspapers and the sub scriber saves enough in his purchase as a result of that one announcement to pay for his paper for a year. If you want to buy any goods at any time your newspaper tells you the name of the merchant that has them for sale. The merchant who does not advertise must necessarily have an old stock of goods and out of date and self-worn. This is true because he does not push his business and hurry his stock to sale and replace it with new. If a man comes into the community to buy wheat or farms, the farmer who has these for sale learns of it through the newspaper. If a confidence game or swindling peddler attempts to defraud the people, the newspaper exposes him and runs him out. If there is a. crime committed or a fraud being practiced the newspaper is the first to ferret it out and expose it and thus it prevents more crime than the officers of the law. If a revival is started the newspaper spreads the good story and aids In bringing in the multitudes. If a rail road is to be built the first place the promoter visits is the newspaper office. If a political campaign comes up the people look to the newspaper for guid ance in exercising even the high duty of voting. If a new kind of cattle or horses or chickens or potatoes or corn has proved a special value the people learn of it through the newspapers. If a school is started the principal burden is on the papers for carrying the enter prise through. In fact no subject of real public concern can exist without the newspaper. And It is often valued to a community not by what It pub lishes but what it refuses to publish. It is not too much to say that he who does not read newspapers Is set down as a blockhead and an ignorant dullard whenever he attempts to converse with his neighbor. Take newspapeis out of this couutry and all kinds of business will be in confusion in five years aud the profit of all lessened more thauten per cent annually. A t'reiuluu ou Tlteli. Papllllon Times. The great state of Nebrabku is a chump. It has never yet recovered a single dollar stolen from It by ciooked public servants, and today the scores of thieves who have looted the state treasury in various ways walk the streets uumolested and breathe free air as regularly as their more honest fellow-men. Men can even steal the funds set aside for the unfortunate insiue, and the voters of the state applaud the deed and re-elect members of the same gang to office. A state oil iuspector dips his hand down Into the public crib, extracts a half dozen thousands of money paid by the tax payers and laughs at the boyish efforts of the state to make him put it back. Lincoln banker plays horse with the state treasurer, holds him up for a quarter million of the public funds. and the treasurer' bondsmen wink at t'je childish efforts of the slate to recover the stealings. Perhaps the state can go ou indefinitely putting a premium upon rascality by falling to ferret out and punish public thievery, but a busiuess man wouldn't last long if his business principles were no bet ter. The time is ripe for the appear- . . . a . ill auce or a public servant wno win employ the last resource of the state to hunt down and bring to justice the man who betrays a public trust and steals the people's money. La All Mankind Kajvlce. Boston Pot. Good times art coming again. Every- . va one wno iooks aronna can see. xur surest sign aud the most gratifying sigu is the advance of some of the leading industries. These advances have been numerous of late. Not a day passes without the announcement that another factory has put the wages of its operatives up to the figure pre vailing before the great depression set in. And this is not charity. It is a matter of business. The demand for manufactured products baa revived and is still growing. At Fall llivtr, the print market is booming. At Havehill, the shipment of shoes last week was one of the largest in the his tory of the industry. At Pittsburg, orders for iron and steel are accumulat ing. All over the country there Is a revival of profitable industry which tells of the coming of the good old times of prosperity and comfort. Treaty with the L'ta Indiana. Major Meredith II. Ktdd, formerly connected with the Danes Indian com mission, has been selected by the United States government to urge the southern Ute Indians to give up part of their reservation to white settlers. The Ute Indians originally held tracts of laud in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada. In 1872 they ceeded about 4,000,000 acres of valuable territory to the United States government to be opened up for settlement. The present plan is to run a dividing Hue from north to south through their territory, to make the western division a reservation for the Indians, and to throw the eastern division open to set tlement. The Indians will be allowed to take up homesteads the same as others, if they desire. The tribal rela tions between those who move to the regular reservation and those who re main and take up farms will not be destroyed, so that any benefit from the future sales of land will be shared by all Indians of the tribe. In view of the result of the recent suit against ex-Treasurer Hill for the $230,000 lost in the Capital National bank Attorney General Churchill has announced his intention of. bringing suit against the receiver of the Capital National bank for the amount of the deposit, or to secure the state's just proportion of the dividends thus far declared in favor of depositors. It will be remembered that State Treasurer Hartley filed a claim for the ; full amount of the deposit, which was thrown out by the receiver, but the latter is said to have something like $40,000 ou hand for an emergency which can be applied to the payment of the dividend on the state deposit in case the court directs it.

The constitutional convention of Utah has decided that school, munici pal, and judicial electloui shall not come in the years that general elections are held, also that plural marriages shall be prohibited.

The deed bears the dste of August 24, 18CJ. The United States government has dispatched two war ships to Syria to offer protection to American mission aries and citizens resiling in that country.
