Watch the wheat market and you will see that the amount of the gold reserve affects the price whether it goes up or down almost every day. Price is the bushel which measures prosperity. 'Low prices cause hard times with everybody, but the annui tant and the man whose wages never change. Fourth class postmasters are soon to be included in the list of those ex cluded from removal for political rea sons. They will be put under civil service rules. It is a significant fact that in every part of the country where a ballot has been taken on the money question, free and independent coinage has won by a large majority. The bankers of the country are now : dointr a little toward keeping up the 'credit of the government. Uncle Sam don't have to depend entirely on the English bond syndicate. The recent find of a "pre-historic man" the missing link between man and monkey didn't turn out as ex- .pected. It was more like a missing ; link between two kinds of monkeys, .rather. FrrzsiMMONs has gone to Texas, and he took with him four crates of chick ens. Does he want to tempt the col- : ored men of Texas, or does he think white people down theie haven't any thing good to eat ? The Xew York democracy are again broken up into factions, thus in suring the success of the republicans in that state. They don't deserve sue cess, anyway, having completely sur " rendered to Shylock. Ex-Gov. Boies of Iowa has come 1 out squarely for free coinages and Judge Babb, the democratic candidate : has substantially taken the same posi tion in his first speech of the campaign. :; Iowa democrats, will now get into line t without trouble. j Mr. Sovereign's boycott of the national uau& uuic uucb uuu occm w ihave been universally successful. A .xd many people are liable to forget I when they are offered bank bills, to re fuse to take them, and demand govern ment or bard money. It is pleasing to note that the demo crats of Otoe have buried the hatchet oa the money question which they can "not settle in their local campaign, and will unite without distinction on a county ticket. They will leave it to be fccgLt to a finish next year. II RYAN PREDICTS. Ex-Congressman Bryan in his recent speech at the free silver democratic convention, predicted that the national convention would adopt the same kind of platform as that adopted in Ne braska one year ago, and then democ racy would mean something. It was too late to make the word democracy mean something new. and it was time to quit allowing men to make plat forms just to break them; time to quit using language to conceal instead of to express purposes. The silver men, the fanner, the laboring man and the mer chant gave good reasons for their faith. They said they were for free silver be cause it would benefit them, and were honest in saying so. lint the financiers declared they weie for a gold standard because they lived the farmer, the laboring man and the merchant, and while bimetallism might benefit them the financiers they were not in favor of it. Such unselfishness was not natural, even in financiers, for they were no better than the reat mass of humanity, which admitted it was in favor of what would benefit it. Mr. Jhyan makes a very plain statement of the position. The free silver men are placimr a large amount of books before the people, and the people are paying for it and reading as never before. The bankers of Wall street are send ing out great loads of goldhug litera ture, but the people do not pay for it; in fact, they do not want to read it, for it is hog wash, and the American peo ple do not want it. The financiers say they vant bimetallism while the fact is they want to such thing and are working to destroy such legislation. We are all selfish, but the bankers are devilish selfish. Fremont Leader. It is apparent that somebody is to blame for the escape of the prisoners the other night. The sheriff is al lowed under the law $1.50 a day, as jailor's fees. This, we understand, he appropriates to himself without render ing any service for it. Denson, the man who is supposed to be the jailor, gets nothiDg for acting in that capa city, and says it is not his business to do anything but board the prisoners, for which he is paid 50 cents a day for each one. It is easy to censure officials wrongfully, but if Sheriff Eikenbary is net to blame in this matter, or Den son, either, who is? And now they say the Rothschild's syndicate only made G per cent on their bond transaction with Uncle Sam. Do they take the people for fools ? If they sold the bonds to themselves as individuals and permitted them to make the extra eight millions, or hold the bonds for a rise, while the syndi cate only netted four millions, that is immaterial, but the fact is well known that there was twelve millions of profit in the transaction befoie three months had passed, and we never heaul cf a Rothschild who would willingly avoid a chance like that for turning his credit into cash. Some republicans have been per suaded to believe that our financial troubles have nearly all grown out of the repeal of the McKinley bill. If that were true as to the receipts from customs duties the question is, what has reduced the receipts from internal revenues? The internal revenue laws have. been changed so as to increase the revenues, but instead of that they have greatly fallen off since the panic of '93, just as the customs revenues have clearly proving that the gov ernment would be short on revenues, even under the cut-throat duties of the McKinley act. That plea is a hum bug. The editor of the San Francssco Chronicle wants the republican nom ination for vice president. We have been making presidents out of sheriffs and lawyers, but the editorial force has not been depleted by a call of that kind. Polk's News. Strange, isn't it, how forgetfulness, if not oblivion , marks the defeated can didate for its own. Our neighbor has clean forgotten Whitelaw Reid,of the New York Tribune, whom, tradition says, once ran for vice president along with Benny Harrison. The governor of Texas has called the legislature together in extraordi nary session determined to prevent the state from being disgraced by the much-advertised Corbett-Fitzsimmons pugilistic encounter, if it can be done by law, or to throw the responsibility on the shoulders of the law,, makers. The Russian thistle has lost its ter ror. A farmer in South Dakota has found that cattle prefer the terrible weed to straw, and this year he has put up five acres of the weed for winter consumption. Now, . if this proves true, and the weed proves a valuable forage plant, farmers, instead of fight ing it, will be fighting the pests that are trying to destroy it. A New Organization. There is a movement on foot to in corporate a political company whose object will be to direct and c ntrol the political affairs of Cass county. We have not as yet learned the names of all the stockholders, nor the amount of the capital stock, but the heaviest stockholders are of Plattsmouth, the next most interested are from Tipton and Stove Creek precincts, and one of not much importance is from Salt Creek precinct. His investment con sist of services rendered to the com pany. We think this a good move as uuder this arrangement oi political affairs it will not be necessary for the voter of Cass county to any more burden his mind with politics, as the company will make all necessary ar rangements and all the voter will be expected to do is to keep his hand near the brim of his hat and "holler" Hurrah ! when the company announces the ticket. Hurrah! For Plattsmouth is to the front once more. Murdock Columbian. ( Rep.) Kx-(ioveknok Thayer got what he deserved at Louisville, Ky., last week at the (. A. R. reunion, when he -as hooted from the plafform by all the old veterans. No state has put up with more imbecility and been inflicted by a more inflated political blister on its body politic, than has Nebraska the last twenty-live years, at the hands of this insufferable old ollice-holding granny. He has ever been a toady to the rich, the tool of coiporations and an office seeking par asite that constantly annoyed his own party and insulted and traduced those of other parties. The old veterans did right when they refused longer to hear his sickening twaddle and silly attempt to curry favor with the east ern plutocrats by assailing the efforts of the poor to maintain their position as free American citizens, and extoll ing (J rover for the worst break a presi dent ever made; that of invading a state with federal soldiers without the lequest of the governor. He should now subside. Crete Democrat. When money is. scarce and prices low rates of interest are invariably low also with the rise in prices rates of interest rise; because when pro ducts are increasing in value men will invest in that kind of property. The chief reason why wheat, corn and oats are so very low in price is that the business men of the world have no faith in the future increase in the value of such property; hence they do not invest in order to hold such prop erty. Gilt-edged securities are going up, however. A little girl recently had both feet cut olT by a Brooklyn street car. In the suit for damages the jury awarded her 813,208, of which the court or dered that $7,2-15 be paid to her law yer. This and many other instances 3hov to what an extent the people of this country are under the rule of courts. If the victims refuse to obey the commands of one who in reality has no authority over them, they are fined and imprisoned for contempt of court. Wyoming Review. I People geuerally imagine that bankers understand the money ques tion, but as a rule they do not. Not one iu a dozen can tell you why money collects at the money centers while it is scarce among the people, or why low rates of interest invariably result from a scarcity of money. Yet such is the fact. We know of men who have been in the banking business who actually believe that money is plenty because the banks of N w York report that they have plenty of it the very reason why it is scarce among the peo ple. TnK telegraph brings news to the effect that Spanish officers in Cuba are spoiling for a fight with Uncle Sam as soon as they have the rebellion there put down; and there is a hint abroad that Great Britain is in sympathy with them. As to the Spanish fellows, that is nonsense. As to the Britisher, she isn't liable to raise any ruction while her syndicates have the chance of carrying Uncle Sam's credit round on a golden platter. Not much. The Nebraska City News has got so far over in favor of free coinage as to commend the speech of Judge Babb of Iowa, who argued that silver must be given free coinage and that it is the mission of the democratic party to re store it to its former place alongside of gold. Glad to see the News falling into line on the right side. The Fremont Herald says: "Let's quit fooling and acknowledge the Cuban insurgents as belligerants. Spain has never hesitated to give Uncle Stfm the worst; of it. She acknowl edged Maximilian as emperor of Mex ico, and she was eager to acknowledge the Confederacy. Spain has no love fer Uncle Sam, and he is making a mistake in trying to keep on both sides of the fence, at once in this Cuban matter." A good idea. Let's see; the Wilson bill was going to ruin the irou and steel industry by opening the gates to foreign manufac turers. But, lo aud behold, steel plate has gone up so high that all of McKin ley 's tiu plate mills have been forced to either close or double their prices. Fremont Herald. Senator Vest wants it understood that he has not retracted one jot or tittle from his position iu favor of free and independent coinage of silver and that the reported interview with him in Europe was a pure invention of the goldbugs. It is too bad to thus break down the castles of the gold press. N K II K A S K HAI'PKN I NCiN. Cedar county caught a three-inch rainfall all in one day.
