If you do, support the gold standard. Mr. Cleveland i3 still permitting the gold shippers to draw gold out of the treasury by presenting greenbacks to ship it to Europe. Wednesday a round million dollars was thus drawn out and sent to Europe. Yet they say there is plenty of gold in the world to do business on. TnE banking fraternity and the cuckoos dominated the democratic con vention of Iowa, as was expected, and the party decided to commit part-kari by sticking to the Chicago platform. The cowardice of the party will justly Le defeated by probably 100,000 ma jority. The republican party is a body organized for political rule and not to perpetuate principles or carry out pol icies. From the party of freedom it has gone back and become the organ of monopoly and usury. In Iowa it is for prohibition; in Nebraska it is against prohibition. It is anything for power. As the treasury is again being de pleted of its gold coin for shipment to Europe the hope of making the sirgle gold standard permanent goes glim mering. If, with the biggest money syndicate in Europe backing the treas ury, it cannot hold its gold, what will it do when the whole combination goes to grabbing for it ? It is admitted that but for the poli ticians Kansas would have no state campaign this year, and that the su preme judge, the only state officer to be elected, would be placed on all the tickets by common consent, and then only county officera would be to elect. But the republican politicians demand a convention, and there is a row on foot over the matter. Has our esteemed goldbug contem porary, the News, heard the news from Missouri, where the decadence of the silver sentiment is so pronouneed that the democrats have adopted a 16 to 1 free coinage platform without a dis senting voice ! And they also sent a message of congratulation to Senator Blackburn and took complete control of the party organization. Charles F. Crisp, ex-speaker of the house of representatives, is sight seeing in London. He recently visited the place where he was born, in Shef field, Jan. 29, 1845, while his parents were visiting in that city. The bimet allic league invited Mr. Crisp to a con ference and he will be dined previous to his departure for his home by the speaker of the house of commons, Wil liam C. Gully, and by John Hare, the actor. In Jackson's time the power of the United States bank was so great that it threatened the overthrow of the government itself unless its demands were complied with. Had some weaker mau than Jackson been in the presi dential chair the probability is a revolution alone would have saved the country from its domineering influence. But Jackson wTas equal to the occasion and at once ordered the governmental deposits removed to the treasury. At present the banking combine, unfor tunately, has the president on its side and the people have no defender. The gold monometallist papers of Georgia speak of the friends of silver as fanatics because the silver men "hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and sil ver, without discriminating against either metal." If we are fanatics so were the delegates to the democratic national convention at Chicago in 1802 fanatics. So were the framers of the constitution fanatics. So was Jeffer son a fanatic in 1805 when he stopped the coinage of silver dollars and told his mint officers to coin all the silver they could into half dimes, dimes, quar ters and half dollars, so as to get more silver into circulation. So were Presi dents Madison, Monroe and Jackson fanatics. Georgia Ex. .ljjlBMM TriERE is no fact of history more clearly demonstrable than that the panic of 1S93 and all its subsequent horrors to the millions of America's poor was the result of tx deep-laid scheme of the usurers of Wall street, backed by the power and influence of the treasury of the United States, with the full knowledge and consent of Secretary Carlisle and PresidentCIeve land; that their share in it as an nounced at the time was to be 'an ob ject lesson to the free silver advocates of the south and west; but the evidence is that after the bankers' scare had been well started they lost control of it and were themselves well-nigh swamped in the inaelstorur they had created. These historic fcts, easily proven, 'clearly prove that a power so irresponsible and diabolical should be overthrown, which can only be done by the adoption of bimetallism the free coinage of gold and silver, and every patriot must bend his energy to that end. We are curious to know what politi cal line work was responsible for the dismissal of so etlieient and zealous tax collector as S. 1'. Holloway has shown himself to be, and the appointment in his stead of a man named Johnson from Weeping Water. It is said that Mr. Eickhoff gave no reason for his summary action, merely informing Mr. Holloway that he would need his services no longer. As amatter ot fact, the larger part of the delinquent taxes placed in the hands of the deputy for collection are for in and around Platts mouth, and Mr. Johuson, being a stranger, no matter how capable he may be, has a much poorer show of collecting them than a man as thor oughly acquainted as Mr. Holloway. There is evidently a political scheme back of Mr. Holloway s dismissal that the coming campaign may brin to light. We fancy that the old army comrades of Mr. Hrlloway will not lock upon his unjust dismissal with any great degree of satisfaction. The bimetallic standard was abol ished in 1873 and the gold standard wa3 set up without the people know ing about it. The bill was hurried through congress under the whip, with out many of the leading men in con gress being aware of what it contained or what its chief purpose was. This is proven by the subsequent statements of Jas. G. Blaine, l'ig-Iron Kelly, Holman, Garfield, Voorhees, and Pres ident Grant. The single gold stan dard has since then been of value only to the money lenders of Europe and America, and its continuance from this on is in the interest, almost solely of the same class. There is nothing truer than this, and this fact can be ascertained by any one who wishes to investigate the matter. Hoke Smith has been so much in earnest in his effort to hold his job that be has sent out letters all over the United States of which the follow ing is a copy: Postmaster My Dear Sir: Without any purpose to affect your personal action, I send you several copies of Secretary Carlisle's recent speeches. I will, however, appreciate your dis tributing them among those likely to read them. Yours, very truly, Hoke Smith. Time was if one of Mr. Cleveland's appointees did the like he would be bounced instanter, but the gold fever has struck the president 6o hard that he will wink at anything that will help that cause. A Salem, Oregon, newspaper comes to us with a marked article reciting the fact that three judges of the Ne braska supreme court with their fam ilies recently visited that town in a special coach, in charge of an official of the Union Pacific company, enjoy ing the hospitalities of that company to the most luxurious extent. The in ference is plain that some favors had been done or were expected in return for this great distinction. The judges spoken of are A. M. Post, T. O. C. Harrison and John M. Ragan the lat ter being a member of the supreme court commission, and appointed as a populist. The article is quite sen sational, and directs attention to the danger likely to come from such cor poration favoritism to the judiciary. Iowa democrats are not satisfied with the position taken by their state convention on the money question, as dictated by the federal brigade. The Sac County News (democratic) says of their platform: "On the currency question the con vention at Marshalltown thedomocrats adopted the straddle of 1892 s inter preted by Grover Cleveland. This means more hypocricy. That we pre tend to be bimetallists and at the same time do all in our power to discredit silver. It is practically admitting that the republicans did right in demone tizing silver and the democrats were wrong and dishonest when they de nounced the act as a crime." TIIKSi: AKK rilK FACTS. To the democrats of the state of Ne braskaGentlemen: An organization presided over by Mr. Euclid Martin and claiming to be the democratic state central committee hps assumed to call a convention of dernt crats for the pur pose of nominating a state ticket. That this organization is a usurper, without a shadow of authority torepresentyou, is shown by the following tacts taken from the official record of the last dem ocratic convention: That convention met in Omaha pur suant to the call of the stale com mittee. Mr. Euclid Martin, then chairman of that committee, called the convention to order, intiodiu-cd Uih temporary chairman ami thereby sur rendered his authority and the author ity of his committee to the convention. Afterward the convention was per manently organized; the. state central committee, for which we speak, was selected; the chairman thereof was chosen; the platform was adopted; the Hon. W. J. Bryan was nominated for United States senatar and the Hon. Silas A. Holcomb for governor. These facts took place in the order in which we have stated them and in eaihact each county in the state, through its delegates, participated. Immediately upon the nomination of the governor about thirty-six of the o5' delegates in attendance, finding themselves de feated at every point, withdrew from the convention, repudiated its action and formed an organization which claims to represent you as jour state central committee. One or more of the chief bolters served on the committee on creden tials, on the committee on permanent organization and on the committee on resolutions, and either signed the com mittee's report or submitted a minority report. Besides, each of the delegates who bolted, before withdrawing, voted for the committee of which we are officers and for the chairman thereof. By every rule of houorable conduct among men these gentlemen who bolt ed are bound by the acts which they participated in. B:it apart from that, they represent at best only about thirty-six delegates, while the committee for which we speak repiesents 520 delegates they represent about four counties of the ninety in the state. If these gentle men thought the last convention did not represent the overwhelming senti ment of Nebraska democracy, they could have appealed to you and taken your decision, but instead of that they have become a law unto themselves, decided their own case and now pose as your representatives. There is but one question at issue between the two committees, viz: The right of the majority to rule : the right of "20 delegates to control the action of a convention against the wishes of thirty-six delegates. If you believe in the right of the majority to rule and if yon are opposed to bolters, let your decision be made known by sending delegates to the democratic state convention called for Omaha, August 22, 180a. By order of the democratic state central committee. C. J. Smyth, Chairman. Eke IIkkhmaj , Secretary. The federal brigade of officials can more easily control the democratic sentiment of a strong republican state like Iowa, on the money question, but when it comes to democratic states like Missouri and Mississippi the peo ple cannot be dragooned into taking a false position for the sake of the ad ministration. Did Bro. Polk notice how unanimous is the sentiment for bimetallism in the democratic state conventions of Mississippi and Mis souri. The press dispatches have hei aided the news that the recent suit between Nebraska City and the water company was won by the latter, yet the News of that place shows that in the items in controversy the city was the winner the jury having found for the water company only on those points' not in volved in controversy, and it shows the figures for it.

Ymi Fleet on Sunday morning at t lie Methodist church contained some thoughts show ing theililTereiice between Christianity or the teachings of Christ and ma terialism that were of a character to make a lasting impression, based upon the text: "Is thine heart right?" Men ordinarily are disposed to let things take iheir course. If they see a man go down in the world they are disposed to give liiui a kick ami push him further down the hill. Chris tianity goes to liiiu and extends not only its sympath . but. it binds up his wounds, engages a physician, cures him, aids him financially and puts him on his f e . again. Christiami v means sympathy, love, Hi u ity, brotherhood. Christianity, or Christ. ' teachings, are at the foundation of all patriotism alone of country, the equality of man. of free government, in tact of all those sentiment- which crow out of the heart and are inspired by a desire to help one's fellowiuan. The theory of the materialist the survival of the fittest.'' knows no such thing as sympathy. of kindness or brotherhood; it is heartless. Like the pharisee w ho, when he saw the man wounded, bleed ing ami helpless, "patted liy on the other side.'' It was the Christ-like good .Samaritan who w elit to l he poor mau, ministered to him. bound up his wounds, "put him on his own beast,'' took him to the inn. paid tor his keep iug and bade the inn keeper to care for him until he could return. It is to the heart that Christianity appeals. A (iootl Ijy tor l''--lf re. Thursday's Daily. Yesterday was a good day for feed ers, says the South Omaha Daily Stock man of last evening, ami shipments were about the heaviest so far this year. There were some sixty-four loads, 1,700 head, taken to the coun try, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois being the heaviest purchasers. The demand has been very urgent for all grades, ami notwithstanding the biginciease in receipts, the supply has not been more than sufficient to keep up with the demands. The yards have been cleared up right along, and at no time has there been the slightest indication of a surplus or glut. When it is re membered that most of the preent big demand comes from adjacent states, some idea may be formed of what a big call there will be a little later on when Nebraska and Iowa feeders get ready to stock up. All previous record.- of feeder shipment will be knocked into a cocked hat.

KINK fATtTI.K A N HOGS Cass county at the out in stock rais- i iug. The fact is well established that j high-bred cattle and hogs, sis well as horses and sheep turn off far more money for the invest mrnt and the time employed that ordinary or scrub stock, so it neomes the farmer to seek the best breeds and perpetuate ihem for his own enhausement. Messrs W.H. Ileil and Hrother of thi vicinity of Cedar Creek, this count , are pushing U eir breeds of line cattle and hogs to the front and aie reaping substantial rewards for their enterprise. V.
