There has been something political
going on In the city all the time, but
the big features of the week are to
come the Hitchcock-Rose water de
bate at the auditorium tonight and
the Mark Hanna meeting tomorrow
night. Last Tuesday night an anti
Thompson meeting was held at the au
ditorium which was addressed by Can
didates TIL bet ts. Miller and Doyle of
the fusion legislative ticket. It had
been anticipated as a general mass
meeting to uncover the republican op
position In the city to D. E. Thompson;
but that gentleman had Chairman
Cochran of his central committee issue
an address warning all republicans to
stay away and the result was mani
fest, as only 368 people were present
at the opening of the meeting and
that number was not much Increased
during the evening So far Mr. Thomp
son seems to be absolutely in control
of his own party, though there is an
undercurrent of opposition to him that
it is hard to determine the force of.
Around the state house politics al
ways rage, but this week things have
moved a little faster than usual ow
ing to the fact that the day is rapidly
approaching when no more changes
can be made in the official ballot. On
Tuesday the secretary of state decided
that J. R. Dodd, mid-road candidate
for congress in the Fourth district,
did not have fifty voters at his con
vention and he will have to rustle a
petition or stay off the ticket. The
protest against the mid-roaders using
the term "populist" as a designation
for their ticket reached the supreme
court on appeal from Judge Holmes
and was taken under advisement with
a promise of an early decision.
The city engineer has figured sout
that when the paving contracts 'are
closed there will be 41.000 yards of
new paving added to Lincoln streets
this year. Most of this is asphalt, and
the new streets are so much superior
to any of the old ones that already ex
pressions of regret are being heard
that the O street district was not laid
with this material last year, instead
of brick. The result will be to expand
the retail district both ways from O
street and equalize property values.
Rentals on a noiseless paved street
are always better than in noisy loca
tions, If not too far away from street
car service.
The city has finally made an eight
months' lighting contract with the
Standard Oil Gas company (successor
to D. E. Thompson) at a considerable
reduction from the old figures which
cost the city about $20,000 a year for
$10,000 worth of light. The city attor
ney has been instructed to draft an
ordinance calling a special election
to vote bonds for a city plant.
District court has adjourned until
after election.
Senator Mark Hanna will go to
Havelock tomorrow evening and ad
dress the shopmen before he turns
his oratory loose upon the Lincoln
people.
The police raid an occasional gam
bling outfit in the city, and last Sun
day night they took in a colored man
named Proctor for shooting craps. It
is current news on the street that cer
tain members of the city government,
including policemen, are gambling on
the coming election.
Today is the first day of registration
in Lincoln and the registration places
will be open until 9 o clock this even
ing. The next two dates are October
26 and November 3.
The delinquent tax list of Lancaster
county this year fills fifty-two columns
of the State Journal, with an average
of about 250 descriptions to the col
umn. That means that between 12,000
and 13,000 pieces of real estate in the
county are delinquent for taxes.
Last week was dog week, and the
first meet of the Lincoln Coursing club
was a success. Hounds of all degrees
and pedigrees were in attendance and
indulged in some merry chases after
rabbits. Red Diamond, a dog from
Utlca, Neb., took first place, and Na-
caret, a Lincoln hound, came out sec
ond.
Hold-ups are becoming too frequent

beries of recent date.
Those who have commenced corn

Thesr Bluffs Called
A man in Des Moines, la., the other
day, who had charge of a shoe fac
tory, notified his men that he was
afraid he 'could not continue in busi
ness if Bryan was elected, and so some
democrats organized another shoe
company and announced that they
would employ every discharged work
man at a 10 per cent advance if Bryan
was elected.
In th3 state of Michigan a furniture
manufacturer notified his employes
that he would discharge them if they
left work to attend a meeting where
Bryan was to speak. Another man
promptly appeared on the scene and
told the workmen that he would em
ploy every man that was discharged.
He said he preferred democrats to re
publicans for his employes any how.
Bill Dorgan appeared on the streets
of Lincoln the other day and an
nounced that he would bet that Bry
an's majority In this state would be
less than 5,000. Another man pulled
out his pocketbook and said: "I have
$150 here that I will not need for a
few weeks. Select a stakeholder and
I will put the money up." Bill said he
did not have any money with him. The
man said he would go to Dorgan's
office. Bill said he did not have any
money there. Then the man wanted
to know how he was going to bet if
he didn't have any money, and the
reply of Dorgan is not recorded.
Parol of Catron
Republican papers In the western
part of the state are using certain res
olutions passed by the Western Stock
Growers association against Governor
Pcynter for "pardoning" as republi
cans term it a man by the name of
Edward E. Catron, convicted and sen
tenced to the penitentiary for cattle
stealing. The facts in the case are
widely different from that as reported
by the republicans and instead of par
doning Catron Governor Poynter sim
ply paroled him for two months and
twenty-two days until his sentence ex
pired. Some time ago Mr. Korns of
Chadron wrote and asked me to as
certain what the official records
showed on this point and his letter
waa referred to Mr. Mary, chief clerk
to the governor, and who has charge
of the pardoning records. In reply to
this letter, all the Information relative
to pardons issued by the governor of
persons found guilty of cattle stealing
was furnished. .
- The real facts in the Catron case are
these: Catron was convicted of grand
larceny December 30, 1896, and sen
tenced to a term In the penitentiary
for seven years. After serving a por
tion . of his time , Governor Holcomb
commuted the sentence to five years,
which, giving him the benefit of good
time, made his sentence expire the
30th day of September, 1900. On July
8, 1900, Governor Poynter granted Cat
ron a parole. From this It will be seen
that although petitioned by 122 per
sons.i one-half of whom are engaged in
the. raising of cattle in the southern
part of Sheridan and northern part of
Duel counties Including eleven of the
Jurors In the case Governor Poynter
did not pardon or commute the sen
tence of Catron one day or a single
hour, but simply granted him a parole
for two months and twenty-two days,
which parole provided ; in distinct
terms that Catron was not to leave the
confines of Lancaster county under
any circumstances. This parole was
granted in order that Catron might
earn something toward the support of
his wife and ' children who were in
destitute circumstances. From the
above it will not be contended by any
fair-minded man that Governor Poyn
ter has In any way. laid himself liable
to criticism of any one. ;
In the Schwab-row case at the sug
gestion of the governor the Hon. J. H.
Broady made a thorough investigation
as to the facts. in the case and sub
mitted the same to the governor.
Among other things Judge Broady
said: "From my investigation I be
lieve that an action in equity to set
aside the Judgment would prevail, and
also an action at law for conspiracy
and malicious prosecution could be
maintained against Enlow and Chest
nutt." Mrs. Schwabrow Is not in a
financial condition to Justify such ac
tion. Enlow and Chestnutt were the
main witnesses against Schwabrow.
The Judge In his report to the gov
ernor severely crltlzes the men who
were instrumental In having the
charge of cattle stealing brought
against Schwabrow and when one
reads Judge Broady's report and takes
into-consideration that his pardon was
asked for by a large number of citi
zens the trial Judge and nine of the
Jurors it cannot be said that Governor
Poynter overstepped the bounds of
propriety in pardoning this unfortun
ate man.
General News
Since last week , the situation in
China seems to have changed so far as
the position of Germany' is concerned
and Germany is the dominating power
in the east since Field Marshal Von
Waldersee has been by agreement
made the commander-in-chief of the
allied forces. While the United States
has been urging and in a mild way
coercing the evacuation of Fekin and
while Secretary Hay has come out of
his sanitarium long enough to an
nounce that the only true policy Is to
give the Chinamen their capital city
and a chance to organize a government
for the purpose of negotiating with
the allied powers. Von Waldersee has
discovered that Tientsin is a very
unhealthy place and has concluded to
remove the military headquarters to
Pekin. This effectually blocks the American-English
plan and Secretary Hay
is likely to go into retirement again.

is the fact that several exhibitors at

The head of the fight against Peck is

and the Typewriter company, and he
charges that American exhibitors have
been at the mercy of a lot of officials
who cared not for decency, fair, play
or the honor of the United States, so
long as they could make big money
easy. Mr. Remington declares that
premiums and medals were not award
