The election of Griggs as governor
of New Jersey has started a genuine
boom in the barber business. Griggs
is the Virst successful republican gub
ernatorial candidate in that rock
ribbed democratic commonwealth in
thirty years. Away back in 1SGG thou
sands of good old republican voters
witnessed the sweeping from power
of the G. O. 1, and then and there re
solved that, come what might, they
would retain their hair until another
republican should occupy the state
house. That was thirty years since.
In the ides of November last, these
grand old patriarchs diminished in
number, but not in brains (for that
were impossible), were elated to see
their idol triumph, and to 1-e enabled
to enjoy a clean shave ouce ;gain.
And then the deluge. From Ilack
ensack, the land of the musk-melon, to
that far region known as Atlantic
City, where pretty girls toy with the
rolling waves of the salt sea in short
skirts, came whiskers innumerable;
whiskers white with the foam of
Mother Ocean, whiskers green with
Erin's reflection, and whiskers of the
cold grey of approaching dissolution.
In i'atersou a panic ensued. The
shops weie overladen baibers' wages
ascended human hair fell. The deal
ers in hirsute appendages leduced the
price to $1 per bale, aud hair was a
druson the market. It is related that
one aged and decayed relict sent to
Governor Griggs a choice grey beard
and wroto: "Glory Hallelujah, we're
saved' we're saved! Accept this with
my thanks for deliverance." All this
shows that republican government
was sadly needed in New Jersey.
C 11. i'.oatright, an Omaha stock
broker, has a large tale of grief. It
seems that he became enamored with
one Jenny Brown, and bestowed upon
her sundry articles of wearing apparel
and other things which cost hira sun
dry wealth. When Jennie's love for
C. R. grew cold she didn't da a thing
but call the game off, and failed,
omitted, neglected and refused to re
turn the soft boy his goods and chat
ties. Hence the roar. C. It. has rushed
into court and replevined his gifts, tut
Jenny will give him a merry fight. In
our humble opinion, C. 11. is making
of himself one grand spectacle. When
a fellow becomes infatuated witb a
girl he does many foolish things which
he may afterward regret, but it doesn't
improve matters to air his troubles in
the press, ltather let him corral
another girl and forget Jennie.
The recent pernicious activity of the
Associated Press on behalf of the pres
idential aspirations of Wm. McKinley
is beginning to attract the attention it
deserves. If an experienced political
boomer is deceived by this spontane
ou3 McKinley boom, his experience is
of the barnyard kind. To an outsider
it looks as if the Associated Tress was
running a sideshow to the McKinley
circus.
Lincoln is soon to go another step
lower and pass a curfew ordinance
providing for the herding of small boys
off the streets at nine o'clock, p. m. It
would seem Lincoln should be large
enough to do this work with the aid of
tire-bell3 and such truck. The curfew
business is a pretty good sign of de
generation. If the theory of the cur
few were carried out in Lincoln, most
married men of that town would be at
home sooner and resulting scandals
would be abated.
The efforts of Secretary Keefer, of
the fair association, to arrange a rac
ing circuit by means of which l'iatts-
inouth people can see good racing wiil
be appreciated. There is nothing as
exhilarating and exciting as a good
horserace and .nothing that people will
patronize better. Mr. Keefer has a
very wide acquaintance among horse
men and thoroughly understands hia
business and his management is a
guarantee of success.
The introduction of the beerometer
into the local trade is looked for soon
This is a little invention that bids fair
to revolutionize the beer business. It
is now used in Germany but its ap
pearance in America will soon take
place. It consists of a dial upon the
bottom of the mug which the barten
der pushes forward and registers the
number of beers taken out. It cannot
be reversed and operates to the great
satisfaction of the saloon-keeper.

TIi New Silver Farty'a Principle.
Last week a conference of the advo
cates of independent bimetallism was
held iu Washington and the first steps
for the organization of a uew political
nartv were taken. The following de
claration of principles was made, which
we regard as the best form of declara
tion we have seen, and it is entirely
unobjectionable:
'The paramount if sue at this tin.e
in the United Stattsisiudisputably the
money question. It is between the
gold standard, gold bonds, and bank
currency on the ono side, and the bi
metallic standard, no bonds, and gov
ernment currency on the other.
"On this issue we declare ourselves
tobe in favor ot a distinctive Ameri
can financial system. We are unalter
ably opposed to the sinvlegold stand
ard and demand the immediate re
turn to the constitutional standaid cf
gold and silver, by the restoration by
this government, independently of any
foreign power, of the unrestricted coiu
age of both gold ami silver into stand
ard money, at the ratio of IK to 1. and
upon terms of exact equality, as they
existed prior to 1S73; the silver coin to
be a full legal tender, equally with
gold, for all debts and dues, public and
private.
44 Wo hold that the power to control
and regulate a paper currency is in
separable from the power o coin
money; aud hence that all currency in
tended to circulate as money should be
issued, and its volume controlled, by
the general government only, ami
should be legal tender.
"We ate uii ilterably opposed to the
issue by the United States of interest-
bearing bonds in time of peace, and we
lenounce as a blunder worse than a
crime the present treasury policy, con
curred in by a republican house, of
plunging the country in debt by hun
dreds of millions in thf vain attempt
to maintain the gold standard by bor
rowing gold; and we demand the pay
ment of all coin obligations of the
United Spates, as provided by existing
laws, in either gold or silver, at the op
tion of th government and not at the
option of th creditor.'
Greenback Have l'altl for Tli,iinel vm.
The president in his messages to
congress in December makes the dis
closure that the entire volume of the
greenbacks in circulation have been re
deemed by the treasury once and then
paid out again arguing from this that
they have cost the government their
full face value in gold to keep them
in circulation. He fails, however, to
look at the other side of the picture or
to show the people how much they
have saved in the matter of interrst
Let us examine that matter a little
The volume of greenbacks now in cir
culation is reported at about ?34G,6S1,
mK). These bills have been in circu
tution continuousiy for more than
thirty years. If the policy now advo
cated by Mr. Cleveland bad ben
adopted in 1S65, and 4 per cent bonds
had been issued in their stead, those
bonds at simple interest would have
cost the government up to date some
$410,017,584 or over $116,000,000 more
than the greenbacks are worth at their
face; so that, notwithstanding the folly
of Harrison and Cleveland in redeem
iag these greenbacks in gold, instead of
in 'coin" (that is, gold and silver), as
the law directs, the plan of keeping
them in circulation has proven a paying
operation. Mr. Cleveland should try
his hand at some other feature of
financiering next time.
Thkuk is only ono question of doubt
arising as to tne propriety of promot
ing the culture of beet sugar and the
building of a sugar factory in the com
nuinity, ami that is the unquestioned
power of the sugar trust. The sub
ject was discussed to some extent at
the board of traoe meeting. From ex
periments and tests made as to the
profitable cultivation of the sugar beet
in this county, that matter is practi
cally settled. Cass county soil is as
good as the best in the state for the
growing of sugar beets of a high grade
of saccarhine quality, so there need be
no speculation or doubt on that score.
llecent inventions have made the
manufacture of crude sugar and syrup
a comparitively inexpensive affair, so
that such a factory could be built and
put into operation for some $30,000,
while such refineries as that at Grand
Island and Norfolk are much more ex
pensive affairs. These small factories
could work up the syrup so that much
of the cost of transportation of the
beet could be saved, and when manu
factured the syrup would be sent to
the refineries and there worked into a
granulated sugar. The only draw
back to the complete success of this
plan is the existence and immense
power of the trust, which controls the
price of all sugars and makes the
manufacture a success or not, at its
will and dictum. Xo local company
could be organized that would be
powerful enough to compete witb that
concern, and this throws an element of
doubt on the whole business.
