A terrible wind and hail storm visited
Doniphan, Xeb.. last Sunday evening
The growing crops were all destroyed
and building- damaged to quite an ex
tent
L. L. Polk, president of tins national
farmers alliance, died at his home iu
Washington. D. C last week. He
would quite likely have been given a
place on the national ticket of the alli
ance party.
The assessed valuation of the railroads
of the state of Nebraska is $29,339,731.00.
That is a pretty fair sum, and when it is
considered that the assessed valuation of
property in Nebraska is far below the
actual value it give a little idea of the
capital invested in railroads in the state.
The sleeping car assessment is not in
cluded iu the above.
Ihe June apportionment of school
hioney has been made by State Surierin
tendent Goudy. There was $319.2S3.C7
to be divided among 333,115 school chil
dren, being 95 cents per capita. Sioux
county will get fTiM.M. The apportion
ments in future should be larger than in
the past for the school kinds are increas
ing in value and the state school fund is
growing larger all the time.
When the national republican conven
tion got down to business at Minneapolis
the selection of a candidate was a short
job. WTiile the first ballot was being
taken it became evident that Harrison
would have a large majority orer ail.
Most of the votes not going to Harrison
were divided between McKinley and
Blaine, and when the roll or states was
about half called Governor McKinley
railed a delegate to the chair
and taking the floor he offered a motion
that tlie nomination of Harrison be made
unanimous. It was some time before
the applause subsided enough to enable
tlie motion to be put to a vote and after
th vote the enthusiastic shouts again
broke forth. For vice-president White
law Reid of New York was unanimously
chosen. There being no other name I 're
nted to the convention.
The ticket is conceded by all to be the
strongest that could liave been named.
The record made by President Harrison
will form tlie platform on which lie will
siaud and tlie wise policies followed by
him during his administration lias proven
so satisfactory to the people that they
f ill give him a hearty endorsement at
the polls next November.
The nominee for vice president is one
of tlie most widelv -known men of the
nation. He has on numerous occasions
demonstrated his ability as a public
official. Dunns the present administra
tion he has filled the position of Minister
to France and by his energetic and per
severing efforts in tnat position ne nas
accomplished much for the commercial
interests of the United States.
With Harrison and Reid as tlie stand
ard bearers of tlie party the republicans
will go into the campaign with a vigor
and confidence which will insure success
at the polls next November.
Tlie removal of the Morewood tin
plant from Wales to Gas Ciiy, Lid., will
hardly be mentioned by our friends, the
enemy, as another sure sign that this
reat industry cannot be successfully es
tablished in the United States. The
Moorewoods "are among the largest
juakers of tin plate in Great Britain, and
their new plant in Indiana is to be the
largest of its kind in the world, costing
l,O00,O0O and giving employment to
2,000 men. State Journal.
The action of James G. Blaine in re
gard to the presidential nomination and
his sudden resignation as secretary of
state just on the eve of the convention
has without doubt brought to a close
the public life of one of the ablest men
of the nation and ma'ny wh6 have for
years been great admirers of him will
look upon the closing acts as a cloud on
his otherwise brilliant record. Had he
adhered firmly to what he said in his
letter of last February, and not made the
attempt to embarrass the administration
by resigning as he did, he Could have re
tired at tlie proper time with the respect
of all, but now he will be remembered as
a great man who let his personal greed
get the better of his judgment.
. It is reported that the action of Blaine
in keeping silent at to being a candidate
and his sudden resignation as secretary
of state was brought about by Mrs.
Blaine who verv much dislikes President
Harrison ami in a recent interview told
him she would bring about his defeat for
re-nomination. Considering the belief
which many entertain that a woman is
at the bottom of all trouble, that report
has some eolpr. It is well known that if
a woman takes a notion' to turn her hus
band against anyone she generally ac
complishes it, no matter how warm
the friendship between the two men had
been or how much confidence they bad
in each other,, and' it frequently results
as it did in the cae of Mrs. Blaine and
President Harrison she dragged down
her husband and did no harm to the ob
ject of her wrtitru
The Guide would like to see the 14th
senatorial district represented by a man
who would wield some influence in the
senate a man of ability,' integrity, hon
esty and experience, who would bring
tlie Northwest into recognition the same
as the other localities of the state. It
has no special fault to find with Bon,
W. W. Wilson, the present incumbent
cfo doubt be did the very best he could,
but if things political are to be equal'
iced, or distributed among the different
localities, Mr. Wilson nor any other
Dawes county roan should expect to be
iven a seat in the legislature. Then
aire Other counties in ' the Noctfcweat in
which are men who would, do honor to
either branch of the legisfcture, besides
doing great and good things for this
port ion of the stote, and just such a man
is Hon. W. Wood of, Sheridan. He
tq net the a brag nor a blowhard but, a
nejsof cool, deMbtwOe and sound judgv

The Journal is in receipt of a printed
slip stating that 8. L Meseraull of the
Crawford Boomerang was waylaid last
Saturday evening and beaten with a re
volver. The slip also contained a lot of
rot about the past actions of Meseraull
and asserts that the beating he received
was because he had offended the saloon
people. The slip is not signed so there
is no certainty of its truth. One state
ment is that be was assaulted for
speaking tlie truth. Now it will be re
membered that a few months ago this
same Meseraull took quite a hand in
Sioux county affairs and judging from
the statements he made in connection
with them it is a question whether he can
tell the truth. From what is reported
of Meseraull it is safe to believe that
there are things for which he would be
much more likely to be assaulted than
for telling the truth. The whole thing
looks like a bold bid for sympathy.
I'ncle Billy's Cabbage Plants.
Lincoln Journal.
"Howdy-do, Uncle Billy, howdy-do,
howdy-do," said the candidate as he drew
rein at the garden fence. "Plantiu' out
your cabbage, hey? Gittin plenty o' rain
now; reckon it'll be a year fur cabbage!
Got yer taters planted yit? 'Pears like
about all a furmer gits out o life these
days is what cabbage an' taters he can
eat Railroads an' grain spekilaters
can't git away 'th them, that sartin
But I was readin' in the paper this morn'
in' 'at McKinley had gone an' put a cab
bage tax p' 10 cents' a head into his bill,
Beckon that'll drive the dutch all back
to Germany. We'll git rid o' tlie Dutch,
but it'll be purty hard on us fellers 'at
have to live on cabbage. And they
say 'at the freight rates on turnips has
gone up 40 per cent in the last ten days.
Gus they think 'at the heavy rains
goin to dround all the crap 'cept turnips,
'an' the're gittin ready to rob the farmers
outen their turnips. Reckon ye hearn
at the boys is hggenn on runnin me fur
the legislatur from this presink? Funny
how them things git out on a feller.
Boys all agreed to keep it under the bat.
and not let the lawyers nor the railroads
git onto it, but t'other day I was up at
the depo and the .agent was sort o' sidlin
;up to me like he wanted to gimmy a
a pass. But Tm on the lookout for 'im
an' if be ever does offer me a pass there'll
be a dead agent, that's all. An' I been
expecting some o them Omyhaw bood
iers to come unvin out to see roe some
day. Tve loaded yp the shot gun 'th
slugs an' shingle nails, an' I left word 'th
Nancy if she saw anyone drivin' up to
the house 't looks like a boodler to give
'im both barls. That's the kind of
man I am. I may not be as peart in
lar as some o' them lawyers an' town
fellers, but I'll tell ye Uncle Billy, if
Ood ever put breath into an honest man
its me. i
Uncle 'Billy had been stooping over,
punching the boles and squeezing the
dirt about the cabbage plants, and the
joints of bis old back .creaked painfully
aa he slowly straightened himself up and
looked the candidate squarely in the face,
"Do you know," said Uncle Billy,
'that you farmer friend candidates, with
prpfessioosiof honesty, remind me of
priiutiniuof who men carryin' a banner
with the motto, .we are virtuous.'"
And tiie candidate' moved on up the
las wblls Uncle Billy continued to prod
the g&n&wjtb.his. pointed stick, and to
mtl soft earth about the cabbage
iAaats,
ealth in tlie
statement has been going
the paiiers for some time that tliere are
in the United States 81,000 millionaires.
A New York paf Dty been
inventing the matter and finds there
are but 3,100 and proceeds to locate
Uiem. We Cod in looking over the list
that there are less than thirty in the
state of Iowa, and of these seven are
credited to Des Moines, When names
and locations are given the public has
some means of judging as
and tlie general accuracy
ment as to the number of millionaires in
the entire country. We have been at
some pains to make inquiry of men who
advised as to the facts and we find that
it is extremely doubtful if there is more
than one man in the city of Des Moines
Rhoiswortha million dollars. Tliere
are several who control a million dollars
worth of property, but are known to be
very large borrowers of money. It takes
a very fat estate to fry out a million.
A man lias to be fatted very nicely to
cut np into quarter millions after he i
dead.
The worst feature of this common
practice of the daily papers in boasting
of the millionaires in the city or state,
is, that it increases to a very great ex
teut and without any just reason, the
revailitig discontent with social ana
business conditions.
If the facts are as stated the rublic
has a right to know them. If, however,
as in tiits case, the statements are glar-
ly false and known to be so by the
men who have an opportunity to know
the facts, then this foolish boasting of
ealth that is as fictitious as "wind
lieat" on 'change, is an injury to the
entire community.
Judging from what we know of Dos
Moines we doubt whether there are more
than five millionaires in the state of Iowc
and possibly not evea that number.
he real millionaires in Iowa have be
come so very largely througn tne aa-
ance in real estate. They have been so
fortunate as to locate in a city that has
afterwards grown rapidly and have held
on to their investments or they liave ob
tained choice lands at a low figure and
have held on to tnem, or in the cities on
the Mississippi they have been engaged
in the lumber business and become en
riched by the combination among deal
ers. No man ever becomes a million
aire by any real service he does the com
munity. Life is too short for any man
to render a service the community for
which he receives or is entitled to re
ceive a million dollars.
Are these millionaires any hapjier
than the ordinary farmer? We do not
believe as a rule that they see half as
much real comfort. A farmer can trust
his friends, the millionaire never koows
whether the friendship is for him or his
money, a man can tie a master ot a
moderate fortune, but, when it mounts
up into the hundreds of thousands it be
comes master of him and the millionaire
is ordinarily the "man with the muck
rake" that Bunyan saw in his dream.
Tlie men who really enjoy life are those
whose expenses are so far within their
income that they can lay up a little
every year and who are out of debt. It
is foolish for a man in this shape to envy
a millionaire.

The republican convention did right in
not seating the Mormon delegation from
Utah. It is aboui time that the Mor
mons learned that they are not welcome
or wanted in any respectable fathering.
The blot they have made on the history
of the nation ia black euoiijjti how.
There is an attempt being made to
again agitate the bond question and get
another proposition submitted. Two
propositions hafe been submitted and
both defeated. That is pretty good evi
dence that the people of Sioux county do
not want to. bond. It is admitted bv all
that it is a hardship to have to do with
out road and bridge improvements in
order to pay the indebtedness incurred
prior to 1890, but if the indebtedness is
once cleared up it will be done for and
then a low rate of taxes will meet tlie
necessary expenses. The Journal was
heartily in favor of bonds when the
propositions were submitted and still be
lieve that it would have been good
policy to liave issued the bonds, but tlie
wiMlnm if 1..1m . . , i ,
...u vi uumg bo at, mis uate is
doubted. The commissioners
kicked and abused for, submitting tlie
iormer propositions and it is liardly
lik-eiy that they would again submit a
proposition unless a petition is presented
large enough to make the carrying there
of aa near a certainty as could be. With
as economical management of tlie
affairs of tlie county , as has prevailed
during the past two years and a half tlie
oia debts will soon be paid and bv a con,
tinu&nce of .0 same policy the rate of
taxes in, Si'oux county will be niuch
lower than in most of the counties of tlie
state ana that will be
tion to tlie tax-payers.
