The Atkinson Enterprise has changed
from republican to alliance and cites for
its reason that 70,000 in the state have
changed before it
W. O. Chapman is now alone in the
conduct of the Leader of Broken Bow, J.
Horn having retired at the beginning of
the year. Mr. Chapman is thoroughly
oompenent to run the pajier and it is safe
to predict that the paper will be kept
fully up to the times.
The legislature convened on last Tues
day and the matter first to be settled
will be that of governor and .after that
the regular grind of the session will be
gin. It is not likely tliat the contests
will occupy as much time as was ex
pected but no information has been re
ceived as to who will be governor.
It is pretty poor grace for the Bee to
call attention to what the republican
platloMn committed the candidates to,
after the editor of that paper made the
platform and then deliberately assisted
to defeat the man placed at the head of
the ticket. Rosewater wants to compel
Others to do as lie says not as he does.
Gen. Miles' scheme to liave the Indians
transferred to the war depart went did not
meet with a great deal of approval. He
wanted the agents removed and live
army officers apj-oioted. That would
not better tlie case at aJL If the present
incumbents were removed and five men
who knew something of Indian nature
appointed some good might result. What
the people of the northwest want, is tliat
the Indians be put in a place where tiiey
will need no agent at all. Tliey have
caused mre trouble, loss tyid auxiety
than they are worth and the sooner they
are made "good Indians" of tlie better it
will be for the government and the peo
ple, and the Indian problem will never be
solved until that is accomplished.
The forthcoming number of the Rail
way Age will contain a review of the
foreclosure sales and receiverships for
1890. During the year there were sold
Under foreclosure twenty-nine roads, ag
gregating 3,825 miles and about
9182,500,000 of funded debt and capital
stock. Twenty-six railways went into
the hands of a receiver. They embrace
nearly 3,000 miles of line end over
f 105,000,000 securities.
It is reported that preparations are
making for the investment of a large
amount of capital in the oil and mining
regions near Casper, during tlie coming
season. The owners of the oil fields are
confident that tbey will strike it rich.
Tlie prospects are that the region west
and north of here will be equal to Penn
sylvania in its wealth of oil and minerals
and the consequences will be that this
locality will reap great benefits therefrom.
The Omada eel, who edits the Bee, in
the issue ofthat paper of the 5th inst.
does a great deal of wigghjigand i
squirming about the Jstter "recently ad

It will prove a very hard task for the
Omaha traitor tq make the republicans
of Nebraska believe that he is uot a fol
lower of him who betrayed his master
for thirty pieces of silver, and his efforts
to get out of the difficulty are likely to
result the same as did the last act of Judas.
It is proposed to make the attempt to
find tlie open polar sea by means of an
air ship. A balloon capable of raising
seventeen and one-half tons is to be pre
pared and five men are to undertake the
trip. Gas to inflate the balloon will be
manufactured as needed. No greater
height will be attained than is necessary
to avoid elevations of the land. Toe
scientists appear determined to find the
north pole if there is any such thing pos
sible.

bers of the state militia responeded to

Tlie organization of the American har
vester company is likely to prove one of
the greatest monopolies against whidh
the farmers have ever been called upon
to contend. Not only will it make it
impossible for farmers to purcliase a har
vester except by paying the monopoly
price but it throws out of employment
over 10,000 laborers. This also falls on
the farmers, indirectly, for tliat number
of men out of employment means that
about 50.000 people must be supported
by some other means. Many of the men
will drift into agricultural pursuits and
raise more farm products instead of help
ing to consariie what was raised, and
give in exchange therefur the work of
their hands in the manufacture of ma
chines.

A great change lias come over a great
many members of congress within the
past few months. It was only a little
while since the general expression was
that there was enough money in circula
tion. But since the people (.-bowed what
they desired by their votes on Nov. 4th.
there is a great scramhlu to see who will
be the first to provide a way to overcome
the stringency in finance. Almost every
member has a pet scheme which he ad
vocat es as the best and only practicable
one. I tie point to be wateliod is not to
select the plan which will 1 only tem
porary in its benefits, and also to avoid a
plan which is in the interest of the bank
ers and capitalists. Let a little law
making on the financial question be done
direct in the interest of tlie poor man,
just for the sake of seeing how it would
work. It would undoubtedly be a very
novel kind of law, but it would be ap
preciated by a great many people.
