The Evangelist Sunday has left n.
The charges and criticisms heaped upon
him in other towns reflects a greater dis
grace upon those towns than anything
said by him. Cussednoss w raped in cus-
sedness and defended by enssedness
never purifies. The people of Lincoln
were told more truth than was ever told
tbem in two weeks before. Sunday not
only told us not to sin but told us what
in was. JThere are lots of sinuers who
fool each other but they don't fooi God.
Who is it to tell us the truth aud the
whole truth if not the preachers? Say
of Sunday, only the goaded jade will
wince.

W. J. Bryan is about to start on a
trip around the world. The goldbugs of
Europe will cry out "satan came here
also to torment us before our time."
liutone man ever went around the
world who was better known in every
Innd than W. J. Bryan is and that was
U. 8. Grant. The two have been heard
of from pole to pole. This people will
not suffer by comparing the two men
with anythingever produced in any land
or in any age.
It is commencement time and .the air
swells with eloquence. Greece and Rome
have been built and torn down thou
sands of times. Demosthenes and Cic
ero have grown up from small boys,
shocked the world and left a record to
dazzle small boys. Thousands of men
and women go out into the world to
carve out their destiny and the ones who
have bad the most help will have the
hardest work. If their fathers have fur
nisbed tbem money to help keep up a
club bouse and Greek letter fraternity
style tbey will find life all the harder
road to travel and honor all the harder
to gain. Hut, if they have earned with
their own hands and brain, every dollar
they have spent in college they will find
it comparatively easy work. The best
scholars and the best men are made out
of the poor boys with grit. The boys
are hoeing corn today who will lead Ne
braska fifty years hence.
Another Jackson Hole row among the
red skins. The Indian is the only one to
blame and he and his kin are the only
ones to suffer. Just as it is with the
colored man of the south. He must
bear all the blame and he alone gets
hurt. The white man never insults a
colored woman and if he should it would
be the crime of crimes for the colored
men to resent it. If the authorities
would keep the white men off the reser
vations there would be no trouble. The
Indians' story is more consistent than
that of the white man.
Prosperity has struck Pittsburg sure,
ior wages in the iron works have been
cut ten per. cent. J'our thousand-five
uudred men have quit, They have
trampled McKinley's picture into the
dirt and gathered all their McKinley
marching suits together aud made a bon
fire in the Greets. The men claim they
were promised higher wages if McKinley
was elected. I nese men were loojen
once but the goldbugs will have hard
work to fool them again.
Age of 107
Probably the oldest, citizen of Ne
braska and one of its oldest residents
was Colonel John Johnson who died on
bis farm near Ashland in the night of
June. 2. He went to bed in the evening
at bis usual time, fell asleep and never
woke again. He was discovered dead in
his bed the next morning at 10 o'clock.
Col. Johnson's widow vouches for it
that he completed bis 107th year last
October. The colonel, who acquired his
military title by training a company of
militia in 1812, was boru in the north
west territory, near where Cleveland,
Ohio, now stands, Oct. 22, 1789. His
father was a recent immigraut from
England. His mother, a Scotch woman
was the mother of fifteen children and
lived to the wonderful age of 120 years.
Colonel Johnson was wonderfully pre
served np to the time of his death. P our
years be suffered with, the, grip since
which time be has been quite feeble, yet
he frequently came to town on foot,
walking from bis home, two miles west
of' town, with ease. His teeth were
sound, bis joints supple and bis eyesight
good. In late years his memory was
failing and he said he did not leel like a
boy any longer. He was first married
when 22 years of age. A son is now liv
ing in Missouri who is upwards of 80
years old. Two other children died long
ago. His second wife is now living and
is many years bis junior, Three child
ren, nil still living, were born to him
by his second wife, Ashland being their
birthplace, viz: Mrs. Robert Dixon of
Mundun. Kan.. Mrs. J. E. Smith of this
city and Mrs. Nelson Revis of Filmore
county, Neb. Col. Johnson came to
Ashland to live in 1800, and for thirty
seven years has been a resident of Saun
ders county." For the first fifteen years
of bis residence here he ran a meat mar
ket. During the world's fair year it was
arranged to have bim go to Chicago and
attend the fair as the oldest citizen In
Nebraska, but as he was suffering from
the grip he did not deem it prudent to
go. ine Nebraska commission ottered
to bear his expenses for the entire sea
son if he would consent to go.
Col Johnson has lived to witness the
official terms of every president of the
United States and claims, when a small
boy to have seen General Washington.
lie cast his first vote for James Madison
1812. For a number of years the
colonel was a bard drinker, but of late
years has been temperate in his habits.

fully avoided any pool and forced a fair

Jupnn has gone to a scold standard,
say the goldbugs, and if they had done
it in the same way in this country.it
would not have made any trouble. In-
tead of knocking silver in tho head the
Japs have reduced the size of their gold
coin. Silver and property remain the
same price and size but the gold coin is
smaller, A five dollar gold piece makes
about nine small gold dollars. Debts
ate paid just as easily for property
brings the same number of dollars.
The prespnt law makes a purpose to
put a biffh pratective tariff on Mexican
cattle, they say, to help the western far
mer. But it will help the iarnier the
other way. We get no fat cattle from
Mexico and we want their skeletons
to leed our corn to. We lack corn eat
ers all through the west. The fanners
who brougt in sheep last fall to feed, did
well. We heard one farmer say that the
four thousand he fed turned him thirty-
nine cents a bushel for the cord they arV
We want feeders, cattle or sheep, but a
hundred per cent tariff will knock us out
entirely.
There is quite a kick against putting
a tariff on tea and coitee. It wont pro.
tect anything, the high protective fel
lows say. The tariff on tea and coffee
will be lor revenue only. We can tret
along with dear drink better than with
dear clothing. Give us cheap shcep.gray,
cheap cotton and cheap stogy boots and
shoes aud you may put the hnzh tariff
on tea, coffee, broadcloths and silks.
1 he old McHtnly bill taxed common
things inont, for instance, ten dollar
broudclotn and dollar sheep gray were
taxed 42 cents iht pound aud every

The Attempt is Made in the Bartley Case
on Trial in Omaha.
The Bartley trial was begun in Omaha
last Tuesday and had not proceeded
far when County Attorney Baldridge
addressed the court, Judge Baker, and
stated that "an attempt has been made
to bribe the jurors." He stated that he
had positive proof of at least one case
and that he knew the names of the guilty
parties. Judge Baker at once directed
im to prepare an information against
those whom he knew had sufficient reason
to beliew were connected with the mat
ter. The county attorney prepared an
nformation against one Wright, first
name unknown, and giving 0 tuli ne
seription of him to enable the officers to
ideutilv aud arrest him. 1 lie juror that
e attempted to bribe was G. 11. Iluth-
bun.
County Attorney Baldridge afterward
said that Wrightcommenced his bidding
ior the juror s vote for his acquittal by
naming $75 as the sum of the bribe, but
ramed the price by degrees to a consider
able amount, but the final amount of
fered he does not wih to disclose.
Later in the day the officers identified
the man as Josiah S. Wriirht and ar
restpd him and brought him into court.
He plead guilty and was sentenced to
two yoars in jail.
Wright was induced to make tne at
tempt at jury bribery by some person
fmknown to him and whom he bas not
been able to sufficiently describe to en
able the officers to identify the man. If
he can be found he will be severely dealt
with, upon a charge of contempt of
court.
Wright is a gray-haired old man and
wept almost incessantly from the time
of his arrest. Me frankly admitted that
he bad done wrong, and that had he
known the extent of his wrong he never
would have entered into it. He says he
has lived iu Omaha for thirty-one years,
twelve of which he spent in the mush
business. He cried as he said his "little
wife has heart dUease, aud I don't know
whether she will ever be able to stand
this. I oiiiflit to have smaHhed him. I
oiiL'ht to have killed him when he came
to me instead of 1st ring him itt ine into
this trouble. 1 am old, pant OH; apd now
1 will have to no to mil. 1 II uever be
able to come out of it alive."
It is bolieved that this will put a stop
to bribery la this cum) at least.
The Railway Comm ssio era Demand a
Reduction in Kates.
After an extended conference with the
representatives of the railroads in.Kan
sas the board of commissiners of that
state has decided that freight charges
must be reduced. They have placed
their demands in writing in the form of
a letter to each of the roads doing busi.
ness in the state. The letter is as fol
lows: "Dear Sir At the conference held be
tween the representatives of railway
companies doing business in Kansas and
this board, after the board had verbally
stated its views with reference to a re
duction of freight rates charged by the
several companies for the carrying of
freight, the representatives of the var
ious companies requested the board to
submit to the company its views and
wishes in writing. In accordance there
with I am instructed by the board to
say that it deems tlie following reduc
tions reasonable, and asks that the
same be made:
A reduction of 20 per cent upon the
distance tariff schedule now in effect in
the state.
A reduction of 20 per cent upon its
existing coal rates.
A reduction of 15 per cent upon ex
isting grain and grain product rates.
A reductiou of 15 per cent upou exist
ing rates upon live stocks.
The board is of tho opinion that the
best way to arrive at this reduction, if
the companies will agree thereto, is for
the board to make an order covering
the above mentioned rates, and for the
companies to agree to put them iu force
and effect within a reasonable time.
Yours very truly,
R. W. Turner, Secy.
The Topeka advocate says concerning
the inatter:
It is likely that the raflroads hill
not be disposed to agree to these de
mands. If this is not done the board
may take up the complaints relative to
to discriminations aud excessive rates,
have a formal hearing for each, decide
that rates in line with the above de
mands shall be established and attempt
to force them to put them into effect.
A evidence that this may be done, the
following extract from a supreme court
decision found on page 212 of the 53d
Kansas will prove of interest. Thecourt
says:
It is well settled that it is competent
the, state leumlature to establish
sand clasHifications to be charged
by railroad companies for the transpor
tation of passengers or freight between
points on their lines within the state,
and also that this power may be largely
delegated to boards of commissiners.
Under t!lie act ot lottJ as siuce amended
a code of rules is piovidd for the rel
ation and control of railroads, and it
confers upon the board of railroad com
missioners the power to establish or re
vise rates of transportation, and the
finding and adjudication of that board
as to the rates is to be accepted by the
railroad company, posted up in the de
pots on the line of its road, and taken
as reasonable compensation for the ser
vice for which they are provided until
the contrary is proved.
It is stated that if the roads do not
adopt the damands above the commis
sion will proceed by legal proeess to com
pel them to do so. It is to be hped
that the courts will sustain sucn an ac
tion.

There are many who will not care tor
hail or cyclone insurance until after they
have heard of a storm and then it may
be too late for them as they may be in
the storm path.

One of the most striking sight that
takes the attention ol th traveler iu
Japan is that ol the wooden sandals
worn by tho 33,000,000 of peoiHe. These
sandals have a Reparate compartment
for the great toe and make a clHiikiug
noise on the street. Strav slippers are
also worn, and a traveller starting out
on a journey will stap a supply of
them on his buck, that he may put oa a
