A lMflrrrar uf Opiate.
Ttie Harrison correspondent of the
Otimlia Btt sent in & special bearing date
of July -Wth. stating that all the factions
of republicans io Sioux county were
united and the split in the party which
existed lias entirely disappeared. Tlie
person who sent that report either gross
ly misrepresented the matter or is
densely ignorant of the facts.
For weeks before the primaries Walker
and Hough had been hard at work set
ting up the pins to get control of the
primary and convention and ail know
the methods by which they work.
When the primary was held last Thurs
day they bad every one out whom tliey
could work by prejudice or pulling
strings and then found that noue of the
opposition appeared. Why was it?
Certainly not because the factional feel
ing had died out The reason waa that
those who object to obeying the orders
of Hough and Walker decided to stay
away. The result was that the Hough
and Walker delegation was elected to
the county convention. When the con
vention day came soma of those who
were elected from the outside precincts
on learning that the program was to
nominate Walker for county attorney
and Ben. Johnson for county commis
sioner declined to assist in any such
scheme and did not go to the convention
at all.
The ouly way that there is any less
factionalism is that the methods of
Hough and Walker have disgusted a
large number of those who have always
voted t!i3 republican ticket to such an
extent as to drive them out of the party.
No honest, self-respecting man can sup-
port a man with such a record, as George
Walker has for any office of trust and
the fact that he has been aided in his
schemes by Postmaster Hough who does
not hesitate to prostitute his official
position to gain his ends or down those
who do not stand in with him does not
add any dignity to tlie business.
Those who have been in control of the
machinery of the republican party in
Sioux county in the past have done a
great deal against the interests of the
party, but the nomination of George
Walker for county attorney and B. F.
Johnson, who is a pliant tool in Walker's
hands, for commissioner, is an insult to
the intelligence of the voters of Sioux
county aud a blow to every man who
will lie put on the republican ticket, for
the voters will judge the rest of the
ticket by those they know and the inevi
table result will be the loss of many
votes to the ticket.
The split in the democratic ranks in
New York shows no indications of heal
ing. Hili is sileut and Tammany is not
.exerting itself to any extent in behalf of
,he stuffed prophet.
The indications are that congress w
.adjourn this week. A great deal of
business will be left unfinished. The
session will go into history as ope noted
for delays and obstruction?.
The western passenger association hps
got into u muddle and a rate war is
heing indulged in to quite an extent. It
is an ill ind that blows ao one good and
A rate war will enable people to make a
.cheap trip.
The talk about the people's party
breaking the solid south is getting worn
threadbare and the intelligent voters are
beginning to realize the fact that there is
v,o grounds foe any such claims. Tlie
truth will lie plainly seen before Novem
her.
The republicans of the first district
have nominated Judge Alien W. Field,
of Nebraska City, as the candidate for
congress. It is considered a wise choice
and tlie indications are that Mr. Bryan
will have a chance to stay at home after
the close of his present term in congress.
An investigation of the records of Da
kota countv has been made and an ex
tre?surer found to be $13,400 short,
The county board has instructed the
county attorney to begin civil action
against him and his bontUmeu for the
amount and also to begin criminal suit
against the ex-official.
The postponement of the anti-option
bill until the next session of congress is
a temporary victory for the grain
gamblers, but it is quite evident that it
is only temporary and the bill will be
made a law in the near future. Such a
law is demanded by the people and tliev
will not rest until it IS accomplished.
A senatorial boom in circulating

Abort while but when the "devil" stuck
his head in at the door of the Timet? edi

Senator David B. may not be as
big a democrat as tlrover Cleveland, but

A private among the state troops sent
to preserve peace at Homestead on hear
iug of the attempt to kill Frick proposed
three cheers for the m.tn who made the
assault. By order of the officer in com
mand he was hung up hy the thumbs
one half of his face and head shaved and
then drummed out of camp, dismissed
from the army and disfranchised. The
case has called forth a good deal of com
ment The punishment was, indeed,
severe, but the offense was a grave one.
It is bad for a citizen in any station in
life to do aught that savors of approval
of the acts of anarchists, end when such
a thing is done by a man who has taken
the military oath and who at the time
is on duty to restrain riot, the magni
tude of the offense is greatly magnified.
The treatment of the man appears to
savor too much of the inhuman to meet
with the approval of the general public.
Prayer of Little Avail.
Dead wood Times.
Melbourne tlie rain wizard and his as
sistants, who tried to draw tears from
the clouds above the arid plains of Mexi
co, can now congratulate themselves
that they escaped from that country
alive. A Mexican letter to tlie San
Francisco ChronicU' tells how they pro
posed treating the failure of the Creator
to cause rain in the department of Cas
tanas. Tlie alcalde of tlie town and de
partment of Castanas lias promulgated
the following resolutions:
Considering that the Supreme Creator
has not behaved well in this province, as
in the whole of last year only one shower
of rain fell; that in tins summer notwith
standing all processions, prayers and
praises it v$ not rained at all, and con
sequently the crops of Castanas, on
which depends the prosperity of tlie
whole deportment, are entirely ruined, it
is decreed:
Article 1. If within the peremptory
Seriod of eight days from the date of this
ecree rain does not fall abundantly, no
one will go to mass or say prayers.
Art 2. If the drouth continues eight
days mora the churches and chapels shall
be' burned and the miosis, rosaries and
other objects of devotion will be des
troyed. Art 8. If, finally, in a third period of
eight days it shall not rain, all the
priests, friars, nuns and Mints, male and
female,' will be beheaded, and for the
present permission is given for the com
mission of all sorts of sins in order that
the Supreme Creator may understand
with rhoin he hat to deal. J

Tlie object of the managers of the Ne
braska state fair a;id exjiOsiuou h e.e.
been to present annually as full aud
complete a line of resources, prouuixs
and possibilities of the whole state as
can be gathered, thus to advertise and
mutually benefit every industry and in
dividual interest known, or to be thought
of, in the entire state. The coming year,
1S93, being the world s jubilee at U11-

cago, where an trie worm win oe in'.i
to see all the woild lias to show and
where a great Nebraska exhibit is to be
nstalled, extra elforts are being made
to have the state fair this full eclipse any
of its predecessors. It is desirable that
it shall be the "gathering together" of
the material for Chicago.
We are offjpially advised that outlook
was never more nattering. 1 ne people
seem to lie full of enthusiasm, and will
meet the emergency in a manner char
acteristic of Nebra-skans, and to the sat
isfaction of the most sanguine exriecta-
tions. Every man, woman and child in
the state should become a self constituted
committee of one, upon whom devolves
the whole duty of pushing to successful
completion this great enterprise.
While the substantial Jactor is as
stated, the board 'S not forgetful of the
important duty to provide for the pleas
ure and other interests of the public, its
patous. This being a political year
special arrangements have been made to
give each of the national political organi
zations of the country a day on the fair
grounds, and an opportunity to present
to the crowds there assembled their re
spective claims for suffrage. Tlie best
talent obtainable to represent each party
will be secured. Republicans, democrats.
people's independents and prohibition
ists of national repute will address the
people. Names of speakers and detailed
publication will be made later, we are
infomed.
An arrangement has Ixien made for
the Nebraska state land association to
hold its annual reunion on the grounds.
This will bring together tlie most exten
sive convention ever known in the state,
affording the rarest treat iu that line
our people have ever enjoyed. This fea
ture will continue during fair week, and
will be further announced in sjiecial pub
lications.
Friday, September 9, is set apart a
"Old Soldiers' day," when all soldiers of
the late war will be admitted to all parts
of the grounds free.
Tuesday, September 6, is children's
day, when all children iu the state will
be on hand and liave a good time in sight

Tlie premiums have been enlarged,
