THE NEBRASKA
edited labor paper published at Omaha
and which i supporting Henator Allen
and part of tue popnliet atat ticket for
re-election voice the complaint of tbeee
Omaha worklngmen and pro mine tbeir
upport for Judge Haward for gov
ernor becau W. A. Fonter a a mem
ber of tbe Nebraska state commlaalon
did not secure tbeemploymant of Omaha
mechanic Instead of those who cam in
from other point in tb state. ttU
Tbi paper does not pretend to direct
or promise tba labor vote of Douglas
county. It doe not understand tb
login tbat lead Omaha worklngmen to
upport a railroad republican lawyer for
governor because said Omaha working
men did not act lob on tbe Nebraska
tata building.
In tbe first place there was tb regular
Tran-Misslsslppl director wblcb is
overwhelming republican In Its mem
berebip. This organisation bad tba
handling of nearly two million dollars
In tb construction and operation of tba
exposition. Why didn't It furnish m
ployment for tba Omaha worklngmen'
If with all thl vast sum if money to
bandla It did not employ Idl Omaha
labor bow could tba Nebraska fate
commission which only bad $30,000 or
40,000 to spend for buildings be ex
pec ted to furnish thorn employ metn 7
Aud If tb populist party with only
930,000 or so to spend Is to be charged
politically with failure to furnish work
for Idle Omaha men why should not tba
republican party be charged politically
with tbe same offense? And In whoso
faor would tb balance stand if tbe
charges wer entered upon tb Omaha
working man's ledger?
In tb second place THERE ISN'T AN
IDLE MAN IN OMAHA WHO WANTH
TO WORK.
Tb authority for this statement Is th
very highest -non other than M. L,
liny ward, republican candidate for gov
ernor, and John M, Thurston, republi
can United Htates senator, Tbe state
ment wu made by both of tim in Lin
coln last week In tb presence of trior
than a thousand witnesses and taken
down In shorthand for this paper. There
was no qualification or quibbling by
either, It wa a sweeping statement,
Either both these distinguished gentle
men ar liars and unworthy tb sup
nortofany worklngman In Omaha or
elsewhere or tba laboring men of Doug
las county have no complaint ugalnsl
anyone so fur a work is concerned.
They are all employed at good wages.
It should be said that no member of
tbe Nebraska state commission has
been consulted in preparation of this
article, The charges have been plainly
given and the fact to meet them. If
there is any reason why Omuha work
ing men should vote for anyone on the
corporation otherwise known as there
publican ticket wa should be glad to
print it.
YOUMU MKM MCA ft,
Editor Waite of tb Exeter Enterprise,
calls attention In a forcible way to a po
litical fact which has been noticed by
more than one person the past two
year.
He says:
Tbe writer hn attended a number of
convention of different political parties
in .Nebraska lately anil the most iiotiu
uble feature of them bit been the change
that ha taken place in the iMirsonnel of
the iliticreiit bodies In the lust few years.
The republican convention used to be
composed of young men in the prime of
life and o scusiouully a gray beard. 1 lie
populist convention used to show up a
great majority of bttld head and gray
beard long one. Now the condition
are exactly reversed The delegates to
the recent republican atat convention
at Lincoln averaged fifteen year older
than those to the populist convention a
week before, 1 heyouiiir men of .Nebraska
are coming to the populist party and
this fact Is full of inspiration and hojie
for tbe future, Aud those who do not
coma to the populiat find home In th
democrat In ttud Ire silver republican
camp, very few of them ar republi
can. A part which tail to attract

VI. V. WKIUIIT'S HOOK.
Mr. W. F. Wright, formerly state lec-
tnrer of tbe Farmer Alliauoe aud one of
tba well known populists of thi state
ba written a book. What la of more
Interest to tba reading pubiio be baa
published tb book in a neat cloth
bound, Illustrated edition ofS40puges
and offer it to said public
Tb till of tb new book is "Tbe Unl
verse as it Is." It la a surprise. Most
of us who bav known Brother Wright
for a number of year bave seen him
lampooned and ridiculed as "Rainmaker
Wright" by Bixby, and bave listened,
sometimes wltb weurluess to bl tbeo
rlesonrain production will be more
than surprised at this book.
It I a strong and in great part orlgl
mil discussion of tba great problem of
tba universe the creation of tba world,
tb origin of man, tb nature of disease,
physical laws of tb universe, tb des
tiny of llf.
Mr. Wright' fundamental idea is vl
bratlon of matter. II think tbat
musical tones control tbesa vibrations
and through them worlds am formed and
natur manifests herself. This leads him
to omeourlousand original conclusions
Among them I tb formation of rain
by certain spiral vibrations In the at
mospher, converting oxgen and
hydrogen Into water, Another i tbat
seed germs of different kinds exist
throughout th universe and that plant
of a particular kind bav power by
means of a certain vibration to draw to
themselves the germs and develop tlinm
as scads, II accounts thus for tb well
known fact observed by thousand of
Nebraska farmus tbat when pruiri is
broken up thousands of weeds spring up
that wer unknown before lu the region.
Th book is full of original thought
and acute observation tb result of
independent research and Investigation.
It Is an Interesting contribution to
modern science and will b read with In
terest by all who are concerned with the'
progress of humanity.

HARDY'S COLUMN.
The Nomination Mortgage Sale
Niagara and Pleasure.
We are pleased with tbe state noroina
tiona. For one a farmer heads tbe
ticket. Now we expect every tiller of
the soil will do bis duty. A hard handed
practical farmer for governor is a stake
driven the right place. Mora of our can
didatea should be called from tbe plow
handle. New blood I needed lu politics.
Wahava already too much of a state
bouse ring. Let tb ring be broken by
tbe new governor appointing bis own,
new, clean men. Two years hence we
most elect a new set of other state offi
cers and they in turn must appoint new
niun uri.l than crlvift lis tt. ftluiLP aWMeflMVefV

four years. Much a course will preserve
, i a t 1 1 .in.
our political iiuaitu,
One of the bast farmsof Monroe county
near Rochester, was sold last week, on a
forty thousand dollar mortgage. It
brought twenty-two thousand aud the
mortuane holder orefered to let it go, at
that, rather than bid it lo at a higher
figure. And yet that twenty-two thous
and dollars will buy. lust about as much
of anything today as th forty thousand
would ten years ago, when the mortgage
was given, Ho really tba man has lost
nothing. It is the increased value of
gold that made it Impossible for tba
farmer to nay the mortgage. The farm
could not be made to produce enough by
which to buy tbe high priced gold. The
cause tbat has raised tba value of gold
waa tba law striking down silver, there
by doubling the demand for gold with
out increasing tbe supply. Had th sup
ply of gold beeu doubled to till the place
of slaughtered silver tbs farmer could
bav paid th mortgage but when it
took twice th produce to buy a dollar
It wa Impossible changing tbe money
standard and applying tbe change to
contract already mad I the most un
just repudiation. Tbe constitution pro
vides against annulling contract by
law. It seems to be easy for eastern peo
pm to conclude that all kinds of prop
erty has declined, m value, aud gold
alone stood still; but It Is bard for tbem
to conclude that gold has risen in value
and all kind of property stood still.
The adoption of th gold standard aud
its effect upon trade is on of the most
deceiving wrong ever perpetrated upon
a conlldlng people. Instead of knocking
tb foundation from under them it low
ered tb foundation without warning
We can't pass Niagara without notic
ing some of ite Improved facilities for
taking In tbe sights, There are four
bridges across the river; one above tb
full and three below, 1 he old suHMinsion
bridge, (of which there were two, one fol
lowing the other in the same place,) has
been torn down aud as Iron arch bridge
substituted In It place. There is nn
other arch bridge near tho falls. The
cantilever bridge is between. There Is
something in un arcb bridge that In
spires more confidence than asuspmision
bridge, J o ride over a deep chasm, the
the water tumbling and foaming below
one need bis confidence stimulated a
little, But since we visited Niugralast
they bave laid an electric, double track
roud from tbe falls to Jewiston. It
runt along under the bank close down
by the side of the water and is known
as the gome road. There Is also an
electric road on the Canadian side run-
niiitr from the falls down to Oueenstown.
Tbe thing to do is to cross tbe river
just belowithe fulls.taks a car for Queens-
town, stop over one car and look at th
Urock monument, then cross the river
from Queenstown to Lewlston and take
the gorge road back to the place of
starting. One dollar will pay the
round trip and you see all there is of
Maura. the rapids and the whirl
pool are are almost as much of a
wonder u the lulls. I lien ll you
would have a more lovely ride than In a
Pullman tuko one of the floating palace
from Buffalo to Detroit. Nodust.no
rattle, all social and jolly a u marriage
march. Don't forget tbe gorge or the
lake.

Rosewater insisted that there bad to be
something of the kind in the platform to
talk about and tbe rent of thecommitteo
finally agreed that as the plank was de
lightfully indefinite it might as well go
in.
Tbe platform as finally created it
given below In full:
"We, tb republicans of Nebraska in
convention asHernbled, congratulate the
people of tbe state upon lb fulfillment
of the pledges made at the natiouul re
publican convention at St. Louis. Our
industries have revived, our finances
bav been maintained, our national
credit is restored and every dollar Issued
by the government is on a par with
gold.
"Our laborers are employed, our man
ufacturing establishments have resumed
owration, our mines ar being worked
to their full capacity, tbe masses of the
people ore prosperous and are consum
ing once more to tha extent of their
needs tbe product of the farm and the
(actor.
"We reaffirm unswerving allegiance to
tbe principles enunciated In tbs republi
can national platform of 1800. We urn
In favor of the maintainance of the pres
ent gold standard and unalterably op
posed to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
"We favor tbe payment of our soldiers
and sailor in the same money as is puid
th bondholders,
"We congratulate the nation upon the
successful issuaof the war wiihKpuin
prosecuted under the direction of Wil
liam McKinley, commander-in-chief of
the army and navy of tho United Btate
with th loyal support of brave volun
teers oo both land and sea.
"We emphasize our hearty approval
of the wise foreign policy of President,
McKinley and also of tbe terms de
manded of Hpaln oa tbe conditions of re
stored peace,
"We pledge, If restored to control of
th state government, an honest nnd
economical administration of public af
fairs and the introduction of strict bus
iness met boo into all state institutions.
"We pledge the abolition of all un
necessary or sinecure state offices.
"We pledge a comprehensive revision
of the revenue laws of the state with a
view to a more equitable distribution of
tbe tax burdens.
"We pledge legislation for state con
trol and regulation of public corpora
tions in tbe Interest of afl the people.
"We pledge thenecessnry steps toward
a revision of the state constitution,
"We call attention to the sham re
forms of the triple allied fusion parties
who have secured victory at the polls
under fulse pretentious and whose
pledges are proved by experience to be
unreliable and utterly worthless,
"We invite the co-operation and sup
port of not only all who believe in re
publican principles, but also of all who
wish bet ter government, to the end tbat
Nebraska may be no longer discredited
by being classed among tbe states in
subjection to populism."
After tbe platform bad been read A. E.
Cbdy, of Ht, Paul, rose to ask why tbe
committee had virtually repudiated the
1800 platform on which McKinley was
elected. Brad Slaughter replied that the
financial plunk of the platform was just
the same as that adopted by the repub
licans in Oregon and on which they bad
carried that state. There were impa
tient cries of "vote," Mr. Cady sat down
and tbe platform was adopted.
The populist party-the
child of illicit and unholy
union, was born in this
state; It was nursed and
cnadled on our soil. The
people of this great nation
will sing a glad requiem
over the grave, or rather
over the remains, of this
unnatural and unAmeri
can monstrosity. The
only trouble about burying
it is that we shall be re
luctant to deposit its rot
ten carcass in Nebraska
soil.-Speech of Tempo
rary Chairman Conklin at
republican state conven
tion, August 10, 1898.
