Editor Post: The long dark four years of night is breaking, so the repub licans say. The last is already streaked with light and confidence. New trusts are being formed which mean more mil lionaires. A higher tariff Is also talked of, which means a higher price for what we buy, sure. The coming four years are bound to be years of high tariff, trusts and syndicates. Well, we are glad that prosperity may come to a lew. Bryan would have knocked the stuffin' out of trusts then where would we have been? The best medicine for trusts is free trade or the article in trust Take the tariff off window glass for a year, and let the glass trust hump. Then for tl.e coal trust, let the government open up a few coal mines, pay good wages aad iuterest on the investment and sell direct to the consumer by the car load at cost, then see how many millions the coal trust would make. Six millions is the esti mated profit this year over last. At the same time wages are going down and cheap foreigners coming in. Corpora tions, protection and trusts have become the framework of our republic and what shall the fruit be? Our opinion for years has been that this power had got as by the throat and there was no use in try ing to shake them off. For a month be fore election we did have a little hope, but alasl we found that fifteen million dollars had bonght a million votes. Nnw the nlnntrri tar h nil ha of farmers 2nd non-tariff-protected mechanics have discovered that the republican platform does not cover the mouey question and have called a "currency reform" conven tion to meet in Indianapolis January 12 to see what more can be done to crush the farmers. Every change, alter this, that is made, at least for four years, is going to be made in the interest of the money lender and the fixed income grab ber. Why should it not be so as long as the last election was carried by those men and their mouey? It the farmers could go into a trust, or if a tariff or bounty could help them as much, then there would be some show of equality be fore the law, but as it is farmers are too numerous. Six hundred can form a trust, but six millions can't. So the ( farmer must stand as an apple tree by the wayside to be shook and clubbed by every passer-by. We are told that the voters in Colo rado were "brutally" selfish because they voted out there for their own local in terests. Pennsylvania, New York and New England always vote for the whole country they are patriotic (?). Local interests are buried when they go up to, the ballot box. The tariff in no way is a local question. All Massachusetts wants a tariff for is to protect the corn and cotton of the west and south. A lot of Kearney boys have cut sticks, they say, and all because their head boss is about to be torn from them. That cannot be the reason, for their boss has been away running politics a good share of the time anyway. We hope they will get a set of officers and teachers who will not smoke, chew and swear, and then wallop the boys, for doing the" same things. A man can't run politics and that school too. We were in hopes the authorities would conclude to place a woman in charge of the girls at Geneva. A man cannot instruct and train young girls as they should be. A father cau't train his own girls as the mother can. I would as quickly think of letting an alligator brood my chickens as to turn girls off with man's instructions. The home for the friendless is the best man aged state institution we have, and all managed by women. Some politicians really think that men ought to have the job of rocking those fifty cradles and have tried to take the institution out of the women's hands. H. W. Hardy. TRAVELLING LIBRARIES. Useful Empire State Invention That is Moving Westward. A new aid toeducation and intellectual development has appeared in the shape of travelling libraries. The empire state must be given credit for pointing the way in this, as well as in other forms of progress. The New York legislature in 1892 authorized the regents to lend for a limited time selections 6f books from the duplicated department of the state library or from books especially given or bought for this purpose, to public libraries under state supervision, or to communities meeting required condi tions. Ten libraries of one hundreds volumes each were at once selected and prepared for circulation. The conditions under which they can be secured are very simple. The libraries can be lent to the a i .J U fcv TotmsFpitor : I have an absolute Cere (or CONSUMPTION and all Bronchial, Throat aud lass; Trouble, and ail conditions of Wasting A way. je y its umeiy use tnousana 01 apparent ly hopelv cases have been permanently cured.

Alw vs sincerely yours, T. A. SLOCCM, M.C., ilj Pearl St., Vew York. , v a wnmai we uavvx, iss tatioa this pane trustees of any public library, officers of university extension centres, study clubs, Chavtaaroa circles, or on petition of twenty-five resident tax payers, if these organisations are registered by the regent. The cost of transportation is to h borne hv those who borrow the library. At the end of six months the library is returned to Albany, a com plete record of its use having been kept by toe borrowers. it goes without saying that these h hrariM have been aDDreciated by the nMinla in the mall towns and school districts of New York. One hundred of these libraries are now travelling to the people of New York state, in tlie parts of the state where it is the most difficult to obtain fresh reading matter. . The object of the libraries is notentire- ly to furnish either amusement or inior mntinn Thev are the forerunners of free public libraries. The people borrow ing the libraries pledge themselves to es' tablish a nublie library, if they are with- out one, as soon as the time is ripe for such a movement. During the first year of their travels the libraries became the starters of six public libraries. In six months there were issued from the trav elling libraries l5,8o8 volumes, ine books went to eiguty-srx places in me first year. These places were in all parts of the state from Lake Placid in the Adirondacks to Jamestown onJChautauqua. Every where they went they were read eagerfy and man a bookless desert blossomed for the time being. The selection of the books was made most carefully, ine various branches of knowledge were rec ognizedthere being books on philoso phy, religion, economics, arts, both fine and useful, history, literature and science in each library. There is no reason why people who live in small towns and on farms should not have advantages in the matter, of books, as well as those who live in the cities. Travelling libraries meet just this need. ' New York has been especially generous in this matter, and the success of the experiment is assured. Michigan, Mon tana and Iowa have followed hard on New York's track, while Wisconsin and Ohio are about to fall into line. SDaii Nebraska come next? . Edna D. Bullock.

Faibbuhy, Neb., Dec, 2, 1896. According to the Century Dictionary bimetallism means ''the use of two met- as money at relative values set by legislative enactment; the union of two metals in circulation as money at a fixed rate:" Mr. Bryan knows that that re sult has never been achieved by the free coinage of silver in this country or any where else. W nen silver was cheap and the coinage of that metal free, as was the case in the early history of the gov ernment, gold was driven out of circu lation. When silver was high, as was the ease during roost of the period be tween 1792 and 1873 that metal was withheld from circulation. When silver was high as was the case during most of the period between 1792 and 1873 that metal was withheld from circulation and the consequence was gold monometal lism, the only time lu the history of this country that the only possible kind of bimetallism has been since 1873, which the coinage of silver on account of the government and the volume lim ited to an amount which could be main tained at a parity just as other token money, or promise-to-pay money, is keot at par." Kansas City Star. Yet the Star will insist that values cannot be "setbylegislativeenactment," that you canuot legislate value into anything, and tries to make people be lieve that silver bullion, between 1792 and 1873, and since, was relatively dearer or cheaper than gold bullion be cause of something else than "legisla tion." Silver in its days of cheapness never drove gold out of circulation in the United States. A chosen inspection of what meagre facts are obtainable will show any reasonable man that scaly bank currency drove both gold and silver money out of circulation into hid ing places. " , "Relatite values set by legislative enactment in foreign countries caused our silver bullion and much of ourcoined silver to go abroad subsequent to 1834 and prior to 1873. Legislative enact ment in foreign countries and this coun try in 1873 and 1884 cut off a large uae for silver bullion; hence, the price fell. The supply and demand theory that papers of the Star type formerly used as a club over the silver man's head, is a veritable boomerang when taken bold of at the demand end. "Why, supply and demand regulate the price of everything" was formerly the cry; but now that thinking people see that by legislation a use can be created or destroyed; that use creates demand and demand and supply together regulate price. These fellows skirmish around to find some mysterious other thing that they say makes one metal immutable as God himself and the other shifting as the sands of the sea. Buymetalliem and byemetallism are not what Mr. Bryan and Jiis followers are seeking just plain bimetallism, the use of two metals as money at relative values set by legislative enactment, is what they ask; printing a sixteenth of au ounce of paper with a promise to pay one dollar in gold does not set the rel ative values of that quality of paper and gold bullion, nor does the redemp tion of gold coin of a piece of stamped silver 412 grains standard constitute bimetallism. It is not the use of two metals as money at relative values set by legislative enactment. There is no value set on the silver metal in that piece at all it merely represents a gold dollar and depends upon that gold dol lar for its value. ,'': It is surely a waste of qnite .valuable material to use silver for a substance on which to print a promise to pay in gold coin, paper is vastly cheaper and much more convenient. As between silver promise-to-pay money and paper prom ises, we'll take the paper every time. And as between "bimetallism and buy metallism," we'll take the former., C. Q. DeFbInce. ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES- Of the Pyramid Pile Cure. Is the fact that it cures every form of Piles without one particle of pain. This desirable point is not obtained by the use of injurious opiates which simply deaden and paralyze the nerves of , the parts and make matters worse in the long run. But it is done solely by its remarkable healing and soothing effects. And while it thus gives immediate re lief, at the same time the disease is not merely checked, but a radical cure is rapidly accomplished. And the point we want to make clear is that all this is done without a parti cle of pain. This fact is one reason for the great popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure and constitutes one very great difference be tween it and almost any other kind of treatment for piles. Every kind of surgical operation for piles is excrutiatingly painful besides en dangering the life, of the patient and in most cases is not to be compared with the Pyramid Cure, neither in making successful cures without pain nor in cheapness and safety. The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be fore the public too long, and its merits recognized by too many people to allow it to be classed with the many salves, suppositories, pills, etc., and you run no risk in trying it, as is often the case with new and untried preparations. If you are ever troubled with any form of piles or.rectal disease do not forget the Pyramid Pile Cure.

The Omaha committee was first on hand early in the morning and when Messrs. Burke and Martin of the Cook county democratic club arrived in the afternoon they found prospects of hav ing a fruitless trip. They thereupon de cided to change the date of the Chicago banquet to the evening of Wednesday, January 7,.und with this arrangement Mr. Bryan accepted the invitation. After speaking at Chicago tm that date he will leave ou an early morning west bound train, reaching Omaha in time for an address on the evening of the 8th. There is some possibility that Mr. Bryan may make some comments on President Cleveland's message in one of the speeches. The United Associated presses sent correspondents here yester day to get Mr. Bryan' views on the message, but he told them that he naa nothing to eav concerning the document at present and probably would not have unless he concluded to refer to it in some public address.
