It i3 now an assured fact that Henry (Jering will be the next city treasurer of Plattsmouth. "The national banking system is a cancer upon the body politic, and nothing but the horoic method of cut ting it out will cure the patient. Toe best argument in favor of Ku gene Moore's candidacy for governor is the fact that he is opposed by that oily rascal, Frank Hilton. Papilliou Times. The republicans in the Kentucky legislature are about to inaugurate Czar Heed tactics, and by unseating democratic members on trumped-up charges, electa senator over Joe Black burn. (Jive them rope and they will be sure to hang themselves. Ik Frank Morgan can be persuaded to make the race for mayor, he will have no trouble in being elected. The people are anxious for a change in the administration of city affairs and Mr. Morgan is just the man wanted at the head of the city government. All honor to Senator Thurston for his magnificent argument in support of the Monroe doctrine. As a democrat the Times wants to be first to pay trib ute to a republican senator when he doe3 his duty by talking true patriotism within the legislative halls. God grant that some day this same Thurston,who now fawns like a puppy at the feet of his railroad masters, may throw off the shackles which bind him, and that then he may employ his great powers in be half of the common people. Papillion Times. The advocates of the single gold standard, with an egotism that belies its purpose, delight to call themselves -sound money" men. That term, as applied to them, is a falsehood and a fraud. The single gold standard is even now toppling to its fall, and is the most unsound system the adoption of which w is ever contemplated. It means the impoverishment of the masses by the enrichment of the classes iu fact, the overthrow of a republican govern ment in this country. Secretary Carlisle has set the mints at work coining standard silver dollars. Just why he wants to coin more of what he and other goldbugs call 50 cent dollars is more than we can understand; as it is well known that (trover and all the rest have kept up a continual harping about there be ing more silver than they knew what to do with. Even oar own secretary of agriculture wanted it sold for old junk. Now the mints are to coin more of it. Such consistency. Crete Democrat. Xe'ijraska is for McKinley, for Thuiston himself ha3 said it. For four years Nebraska republicans have been insisting that the next republican candidate for president must be a western man, an advocate of western interests, but when the Union Pacific senator bids the rabble be still it straightway hushes its huzzas for a western man and joins its voice with Monopoly John in advocacy of a candi date who will be acceptable to the east. It i3 only natural that Thurs ton should favor an eastern man. In deed nearly all owners of Union Pacific stock reside in the east. Papillion Times. Senator Tillman gave the dry bones of goldbugism a severe shaking tip in the senate last Tuesday, and not only was Cleveland and his judas like cabinet given a sound roasting. but the hypocrisy of republican pre-1 tense was exposed to the light of day. It was by oaas me aoiest speecu oi me j . ? n .1 ntnnarl it a o utliftp t A I session, and placed its author well to the front, not only as a leader of thought and a powerful orator, but as the man since Ingalls' time possess ing the greatest power of invective, in the senate. He talked plainly and called things by their right names, and in;words of burning eloquence painted the brand of Cain upon the brows of the president and his cabinet members who bad betrayed the people to the money-kings of Xew York. It was a most notable speech which ought to be read by everybody. TIIE CITY'S FUTURE. The recent meeting of the Board of Trade was the starting point for the inauguration of business revival in this ifv At. that meetinc a full and rai expression of sentiment in favor of I united action looking toward the loca I tion of new industries in our city was had and an earnest effort will be made in that direction. It were a waste of time and space to enter into, anew th advantages of Plattsmouth foi these are all well known. The move ment in tavcr of a beet sugar factory is a wise one, as the country around the city is well adapted to sugar beet culture, and the superior distributinj advantages would make this faeloiy s cnfrt T.pt thf business men iuak this factory a success. The proposa to establish a college is one well worthv of consideration. A college ----- means a considerable addition to tl le population of the city during the schoo vear. and serves to increase the amount of money in circulation. In this man ner it is a benefit to a community ii addition to its elevating inlluence in ai educational line. The prospects for ; government building while not th brightest, are still within the range o possibilities, and no effort should be r spared to obtain this building if pos sible. The move for a new opera house is another that deseives en i'iinr:ii'pmpnr. Plattsmouth needs a n opera house, probably worse than an city in the state. Such a buildin g would be a success if properly managed as this city is one of the best show towns in the state, and the people will patronize a good play iouse. Another matter that the Board of Trade had under advisement was the location o; abrsmch factory of an Indiana firm This firm manufactured sheet meta tanks and was desirous of locating here. It would eniplov about fom men and would be a solid institution It rviifht to he secured. From all this " array of enterprises it would seem that a little energy is all that is needed to make a step forward during the coming year. This is not the time to waste energy iu theorizing but it is the hour for action. The great trouble in thiscityhas always been the useless and extravagant amount of talk and inaction and if this city is to progress it must drop this method and ami go to work. Prosneritv comes only to those who help themselves, and it is a foolish policy that causes people to sit and cry over the mistakes of the past. All that has happened is done, and we must gather together what we have ieft and make an united effort to remedy tl e errors. Let all our people pull together with the one central idea of the common good and the suc cess of the city's future is assured. I I IK CIT CAMiMlltN. The near approach of the spring election has caused the appearance of many booms for city positions. In a great measure thi3 is due to the fact that this year seems to be propitious to the democracy. The trend of pub lic sediment seems favorable to the democratic Dartv. especially in this city, upon local issues. For two years Plattsmouth has struggled along under the adverse inlluences of a narrow and partisan administration. To all fair, thinking people it appears that the time for a broader and more liberal policy has arrived, and upon this theory will the next democratic city ticket te named. For the mayoralty, Frank J. Morgan, John A. Gutsche and Henry It. Gering are being pushed by their friends. The nomination of any of these gentlemen means victory. They are all free hearted and liberal in their views and would give the city a clean and credit able administration. For city clerk, Thorn: Walling,Frank Green and D. C. McEntee are men tioned, and better men could not be named. Either of these gentlemen would add stiength to the ticket. For city treasurer, Chas. D. Cum mins, Henry II. Gering, Fred Ebinger and D. C. McEntee are being consid ered and the nomination of either of these gentlemen will meet popular ap proval. Judge Archer appears to have no op position for the nomination for police judge and his re-election is a foregone conclusion. On the republican side, the present city administration appears to be sure of re-nomination and either T. Frank Wiles or A. J. Graves will, probably, struggle to capture the judgeship. The populists will probably run a f ull ticket and may poll fifty votes in . 1 the city, Taken, as a whole, there is a splen did prospect for democratic success this spring. Men who would deliberately bring ruin upon millions of their fellow-men, as the gold conspirators have done, by bringing on the panic of "03 and its succeeding horrors, talk very glibly about upholding the credit of the coun try. The villains; they are the ones who have done it all the injury pos sible. Like the Pharisees of old, whom Christ denounced as hypocrites, they make broad their phylacteries and J boast that they are better thu other! men by declaring themselves for "sound'' money, when they know it is all a hypocritical pretense and a lie; that their scheme is inaugurated to make slaves of the masses while the few can revel in the luxury of un bounded wealth. But the people may awake in time to prevent their sch me from succeeding. ! Tuk republicans are proc tding to ' go through the usual formula of ar rangements for the coming presiden tial election, and while theie i.s up parently some rivalry between favorite j candidates this is about all the evi dence of interest or anything ap proaching enthusiasm that can be uoticwd. The tact is the hope that a high tariff which is about all there is of republican spirit left would bring again prosperity, has almost died in the republican heart, and were it not for the hope of office very little interest could be worked up among the repub licans of Nebraska. Tiik national banks have been send ing to the treasury offers to buy bonds under the proposed new loan in won derful amounts, indicating that they have been storing crold for sotih pur pose not required in their business. These banks have little or no money to loan to help ordinary business, but when a chauce is given to secure a ro year bond, with the hope of making them the basis of circulation for a greater issue of their own notes, the ?old comes out of its hiding place. The national banks are the meanest combinations of political power in all this countrv. NKHKAMv A NKIVS. District court at Ttcumseh has been adjourned until February 19. Action on the Honaciim-Murphy case was postponed until then. A newspaper, bank and a creamery were among the industries captured by Springview last week. Details for their locution will be arranged shortly. Two thousand dollars worth of notes, stolen receutly from a Yok firm, were found in a freight car 100 yards from the scene of the robbery. Thirty thousand in annuities was paid the Winnebagoes and Onuhas Monday. and the towns in that locality have been doine a rousing business since. Each Indian received $10.50. Ashland farmers are shipping cars of poul'ry to the New York city mar ket. .1. F. (ireen of that town made twenty-seven trips to the eastern mar kets with poultry shipments last year. As much a3'$70O profit per car has been tnade by Ashland shippers. Milton Campbell and two females from Norfolk attempted to take charjze of a saloon at Iladar in the accepted frontier style. All the windows were shot out before the sheriff's authority was recognized. The girls escaped while Campbell was being jailed. The 11. Sc M. at Loup City started separate actions in the district court this week against the payment of the levy for interest on the bonds voted by .Logan and Loup City townships to aid in the construction of the canal built by the Shermau County Irriga tion, Waterpower and Improvement company and secured temporary re straining orders from Judge Green against collection of the tax.
