supposed, that, they would get down to

WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAID.
It frequently happens that a "half
truth is a znot dangerous lie. This is
illustrated by tbe efforts of certain par
ties! to hold Gorernor Poynter. responsi
ble for a certain bill that was introduced
in the legislature for the payment of
sugar bounties. It must be remembered
that Governor Poynter is responsible
only for tbe language and statements
tnade in hi inaugural address. The
governor said in his inaugural address:
-I AM. INDIVIDUALLY. AND THE
1 PAKT.Y OF WHICH I AM A MEM-
11 EK IS OPPOSED ABSOLUTELY
TO THE PROTECTIVE POLICY OF
TAXING ONE INDUSTRY FOR THE
UPUUILDING OF ANOTHER; HUT
MY PAirrY IS NOT NOW. NOR HAS
IT EVER HEEN AT ANY TIME.
EITHER IN THEORY OR PRAC
TICE. IN FAVOR OF REPUDIATION
IN THE SMALLEST DEGREE. The
legislature baring made a BAD BAR
GAIN for tbe state, should not seek to
be relieved of that bargain by a SUB
TERFUGE OR UPON TECHNICALl
TIES. Tbe sugar bounty act of 1835
baa created a number of just claims
against tbe state, which are now IN
THE HANDS OF THE FARMERS
WHO GREW THE SUGAR BEETS.
recommend that you make provision for
the payment of all claim.- arising from
the act of lH:ij which may be PRE
BUNTED BY THE ACTUAL GROW
ERS OF SUGAR BEETS IN THE
STATE, whenever such claims are prop
erly attested by certificates of weights
from tbe proper authorities."
Tbe statement that "Governor Poin
ter's lir-t official act was to recommend
to a republican legislature that 1100,000
be paid to the sugar trust" is an unmiti
gated falsehood. He made no such rec
ommendation as the eztiact from his in
augural address .which we hare quoted
above plainly shows. Individuals and
newspapers alike are decidedly hard
pressed for something upon which to
criticise a public official when they at
tempt to distort the governor's inaug
ural address into a recommendation to
pay the sugar - trust 1100,000. Get a
copy of the governor's address and read
for yourself.
Tbe principal charge that the Hozie
Pilot makes against Gov. Poynter is that
he will not discharge one L. B. Fenner, a
carpenter at the Kearney industrial
schoob In its issue of last week the ed
itor of the Pilot makes five questions out
of one. The editor of the Pilot seems
surprised that the governor does not

he wa treating as a private snap. Some
times it is wise to to permit a well fed
serpent to lie in its comatose condition
until a proper club can be secured with
which to beat its brains out. We are
not acquainted with Mr. Fenner. He
may be competent or he may nob Cer
tain it is that the position of carpenter
at the industrial school is not of such
gigantic proportions as some would make
believe. It shows how difficult it is for
Gov. Poynter's accusers to find anything
upon which to base their charges.

The Markets
Weekly market letter, furnished by H.
R. Penny & Co., No. 131 South Eleventh
street, Lincoln, Nebraska. '
Lincoln, Neb., July 5. While wheat
prices have not reached the $1.00 mark,
predicted by a great many, the market
has apparently found a higher level
which will likely be held for some time
to come. - " '
From 88c last week, July option yes
terday sold to 77c But today rallied a
couple of cents. The bulk of the trad
ing is in the. August option but later on
the most of the trading' will undoubtedly
bo in September, as that option was
posted for the first time yesterday since
the 60 d ys limit has been in effect, and
for a time it was hard to get a line on
the September, but today there ap
peared to bo more trading in it, ahd the
price run more evenly at lie spread
with the August.
The last few days of last week, the
market did not seem to be able to show
any rallying power, but since Saturday,
it seems to bull a great deal easier than
it goes down. The huge volume of
speculative trade apparent in last week's
market has almost disappeared, but are
probably waiting for a lower mark to
get in again, as this is the time of year
when the professionals seek' every low
point, to get in the market to be ready
for any bad reports regarding the out
come of harvest.
The spring wheat situation has not
improved. There have been some good
showers but the larger part of the three
northwest wheat states is still dry.
The bulls had a strong inducement to
get into the market again the latter
part of last week, as Crop Expert Snow
whose information started prices up be
fore, gave cut a report Friday reducing
his estimate of the total crop, winter
and spring to only 4C0 million bushels or
li t million less tnan indicated by tne
June government report.
Foreign markets did not follow our
market up as fast as they followed us
down. They refuse to become alarmed
over tne question oi iuture supplies
while so abundantly furnished with
wheat for their present needs.
This has been a strong week m corn
The bier traders apparently got out of
their wheat last week and took up corn
for a few cents. The trading seems to
be evenly divided between the August
and September options .the spread being
about one-half cent. The export de
mand for corn has been very large
The primary market receipts last, week
were z million less than a year ago.
This deficiency - in the face of higher
prices and good prospects seem to indi
cate the supply of corn in the country is
small. Tha speculators who are usually
liearish at this season of the year are on
the bull side now. Frequent showers
are keeping the corn in line condition
and if the present weather continues
tome decline may be looked for.
Here it is the fore part of July with
out any sort of uneasiness over the crop,
It is a fact, however, that rams have
been more timely than" abundautr 'The
average precipitation in June- over the
corn belt was below the normal. A
week or two of hot dry weather this
month would start a scare and the in
herent strength in the market is so
irreat that a scare this year will be un
usually effective in putting prices up.

HEIRESS AS ENGINEER
Girls Worth $50,000,000 Pilot an Engine
Across Oklahoma.
The train bearing the first arrivals to
the Oklahoma City convention of rough
riders left Wichita Friday morning. In
a special car were Col. Alexander Brodie,
Mrs. James Banks Reynolds of New
York, Miss 1 Josephine Reynolds, and
Misses Elizabeth and Louise Van Buren.
The young ladies were making their first
trip to the west and were anxious for
some fun, but they did not apprehend
that it would come seriously. At Ar
kansas City it was announced that the
engineer, Jim Haynes was, slightly ill.
This information caused Capt. Frantz of
the rough riders to make a wager in the
special car to the rear with the New
York heiress that they were afraid to en
ter the cab and put their hands to the
lever under the direction of the sick en
gineer. They quickly took him up, and
with the permission of Henry Asp, gen
eral superintendent of the Santa Fe in
Oklahoma, Josephine Reynolds took the
throttle and Elizath Van Buren used the
fireman's seab Capt. Frantz sat on the
coalbox to see that the wager was prop
erly won.
The two girls, whose personal wealth
is $50,000,000, started up with old-timers'
skill. Their pretty white faces were
scon covered with dust and grease, but
the throttle was pulled farther open and
the train jumped across the plains.
Bands of Indians and farmers in their
wheat fields looked at the flying hair
and thought, the engineer must be dead.
But the speed grew until it reached a
mile a minute. The girls made all the
stops and kept the train on its regular
schedule till they pulled into Oklahoma
City several hours later.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION
A Full Ticket Xsinsd-Harmony and Un
- bounded Enthusiasm. ' . "
The populists, democrats '" and silver
republicans of this county held conven
tions in this city last Saturday. The at
tendance was large and greater interest
was manifested than is usually the case
in this republican stronghold. Condi
tions at present indicate the election of
the legislative ticket, ahd very probably
the county commissioner and the county
attorney. The results of the election
will show whether the,, republicans who
have been fighting D. 'E. Thompson are
really opposed to bim or whether they
are mere hypocrites playing a rather
smooth hold-up game, to compel .Mr
Thompson to open his barrel or make
them pledges of political preferment in
the event of his election. The ticket
named by the fusionists is composed of
men of the highest business and moral
standing. There is no reasonable excuse
why republicans opposed to the Thomp
son machine should not give them their
support. Time will tell how deeply they
were interested in the result. The fu
sionists have met them half way and
have nominated business men rather
than mere politicians. t Every candidate
is competent to fill the position for
which he has been named. The Inde
pendent will give a more detailed and
lengthy description of them at a later
date. The candidates chosen are as
follows:
For Senators, A. S. Tibbets and T. J.

For Representative: John C. Muggle

REPUBLICAN PLATFORMS
Interesting Comparisons of the Platforms
of Fremont, Lincoln and Hanna.
To see how completely a great party
can reverse itself, it is only necessary to
read the republican platforms since the
organization of that party. Its complete
flop on the money question is too well
known to deserve a repetition. From the
party of the masses it has degenerated
to a mere tool in. the hands of a small
clique of New York millionaires. It now
proposes to ignore the principles of the
declaration of independence and repudi
ate the obligations cf the constitution.
Read the following from the platform of
18o6, and compare it with the present
course of the McKinley administration:
"Resolved, That the maintenance of
the principles promulgated in the decla
ration of independence and embodied in
the constitution is essential to the pres
ervation of our republican institutions,
and that the federal constitution, the
rights of the states, and the union of the
states shall be preserved.
"Resolved, That with our republican
fathers, we bold it to be a self evident
truth that all men are endowed with the
inalienable riglt to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, and that the pri
mary object and ulterior designs of our
federal government were to secure these
rights to all persons within its exclusive
jurisdiction; that as our republican fa
thers when they had abolished slavery
m all our national territory, ordained
that no person should be deprived of
life, liberty or property without due pro
cess of law, it Incomes our duty to main
tain this provision of the constitution
against all attempts to violate, for the
purpose of establishing slavery in any
territory of tho United States, by posi
tive legislation prohibiting its existence
or extension therein. That we deny the
authority of congress or of a territorial
legislature or of any individual or asso
ciation of individuals to give legal exist
ence to slavery in any territory of the
United States while the present consti
tution shall be maintained.

fers upon congress sufficient power over
the territories of the United States for
their government, and that in the exer
cise of the power it is both the right and
duty of congress to prohibit in the ter
ritories those twin relics of barbarism,
polygamy and slavery.
"Resolved, That the highwayman s
plea that "might makes right,' embodied
in the Ostend circular, was in every re
spect unworthy of American diplomacy
and would bring shame and dishonor
upon any government, or people that
gave it their sanction.". 1
What a different ring from the million
aire production at Philadelphia recently.
The following is a plank 'from Lin
coln's platform in 1864: - ,
"Resolved, That the , maintenance of
the principles promulgated in the decla
ration of independence and the federal
constitution "that all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights;
that among these . are , life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness; that to secure
these rights governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed; is es

lican institutions, and that the federal
constitution, the rights of the states and
the union of the states must and shall be
preserved."

PAINE.
Should Renominate Poynter
The Democrat has not, up to the pres
ent, said aught pro or con of and con
cerning the renomination of Gov. Poyn
ter, nor has it much to say now. What
it does say will not be in defense of the
governor for the very competent reason
that he needs no defense.. His public
record as chief executive of a great state
is open as a book and has been so dis
tinctively upright, conservative and hon
orable that all the malicious attacks and
garbled and distorted records of his acts
by the republican machine, aided by
peevish soreheads and "pried loose" dis
contents, have failed to discolor the re
cord to the governor's undoing.
xsut one specihe charge has been made
and that was so fully and completely an
swered by him in such a manly, frank
manner that even the Journal of Lincoln
unfair as it is in the treatment of po
litical foes dared not return to the at
tack, but is content to produce foul con
catenations . from the Deaveriled, D.
Clemetized press, of which the Kearney
Pilot is a maudlin sample, under scare
heads without endorsement, and this
seems to be tbe sum of Poynter's oppo
sition. .
Poynter will be renominated and re
