It seerns to be the intention of tie
railroad companies to allow the new
fate law to go into effect without rais-
roer tlie ouestion of its lefralty. It is
expected that its enforcement will maVe
it very unpopular and then, after a fair
trial, the matter can be taken into the
court later.
The reports from the worlds fair are
that Kebraska day was a great day and
that all passed off with credit to the
tate and to those who have had charge
of the work of eettintr up and arranging
the exhibit. Nebraska has demonstrated
her ability to get to the front in good
shape whenever occasion requires.
The management of the state lair is
making a very hard effort to have , the
exhibit of this year surpass that of any
previous year. This should be kept in
mind by the people of Sioux county and
Oil effort should be made to have the ex
hibit from this county the best that can
possibly be made. A great many people
will be there for the purpose of seeing
just what Sioux county has to show and
the result of a good collection, properly
arranged will be that many new settlers
will be secured, and that is just what is
needed.
The report is that a fight is to be
made on the newly appointed superin
tendent of the government building at
Omaha on the grounds that he is not a
Citizen. It is about time a law was
passed whereby a man who becomes a
candidate for any office, either elective
or appointive, would be obliged to make
proof of hia citizenship, unless he was
born in this country, before he could
'nave any standing as such candidate,
Tile frequency with which that question
is raised of late years demands that
something be done.
The United States authorities have de
cided that there can be no compromise
With Mosher, the wrecker of the Capital
National bank, and he must stand trial.
It may be a little tough on the deposi
tors, but the punishment of the man
- who caused their loss should be us se
vere as the law will 'allow. Mosher
would never have done as he did if he
had been certain that he would have
been sent as a felon to serve the state.
The more certain the punishment the
less frequently will crimes be com
mitted. With the third part of "Omega," the
work of the French astronomer Flamuia
rion, which appears in the Cosmopolitan
for July, the reader is able to grasp
something of the great purpose of the
author. "Omega" is declared by those
who have read the entire work to be one
of the most remarkable writings of the
century. While pretending to be a
novel, it is a work having a deeply phil
osophical purpose, as is more fully de
veloped in later chapters. It is some
thing that no fairly intelligent person
can afford not to read, and is surely des
tined to become a classic.
The people of Sioux county should
make it a poiut to urge their friends in
the east to keep watch for the announce
ment of the dates of the harvest excur
sions which will give them an opportu
nity to visit this locality at a low rate of
fare. A special effort should lie made to
get those who have no land of their own
to come and see what can be had in the
west. It is to the interest of all to have
large number of people in this county
as soon as possible. Wit h a well settled
community real estate will advance in
value and prosperity will be general and
all will be gainers thereby. It is not the
duty of one more than another, but there
should be a united effort for more
settlers.
Soote of the papers of the state are
attempting to make out that the major
Ujfit the judges of the supreme court
erred in its decision in the impeachment
rams It does not look reasonable t hat
the two who decided that the state of
Irtals were aot guilty as charged wonld
be as likely to go wrong as the one who
dissented in his opinion. The former are
in tbe prime of life and vigor and with a
future before them in which they may
nave an opportunity to be still more
highly honored if tbey show themselves
capable and worthy, while the judge
who delivered the minority opinion is an
Id mao practically in his dotage who
Is mow seeking to be elected for another
term of six years in the position he now
oeupiea. The hue and cry which was
soade against tbe state officials led him
to tbe belief that be could, by deciding
that ' the defendant were guilty a
barged, fide iato office on a popular
sJm XThmk both side are considered
tlMrtaiati kMkaasbi llkehr that tafst
Senator Xorth has secured the ap
pointment to the offii-e of collector of
internal revenue at .;.:dia. He is an
able, honorable man and will conduct
the office in good shape.
Atlee Hart has been convicted of con
swracy to extort money and there are
seven or eight more counts on which he
is to be called upon to answer. He will
likely conclude that lie bad to pay pret
ty bigh for his whistle.
A terrible thing happened at Washin
ton, I). C, between nine and ten o'clock
last Friday morning by tbe collapse of
the old Ford Theater which was occu
pied bv the surgeon general and was
Oiled with government clerks. This is
the building in which Lincoln was shot
twenty-eight years ago. The loss of life
caused by the falling building was very
great.
From out the gloom and disaster at
the result of the trial the impeachment
committee is attempting to provide a
straw for the pops to grasp at for they
have done gone been and went and cut
Bill Greene off with only f.COO instead of
allowing him the $2,500 which he did
not earn. The result of the impeach
ment farce is that the pops are out ( f
material for political thunder, the tax
payers are out the costs of the suit and
Bill Greene is out of a job.
On the tenth of this mouth through
rates on grain from points in this state
are advanced two cents per hundred
This is the first step of the railroads to
niee"t reductions on some local rates pro
viding the Newberry bill stands as law
Under tiro agreement of lower through
rates made in 1887 with the board of
transportation when Judge JIason was at
the head of the board, the rates could
not be raised without the consent of the
board. The legislature that took the
rate question away from the board ig
now made by the roads the grounds for
raising through grain rates which will
probably take away more than the new
rate will save. Lincoln Call.
The following catechism is going the
rounds of the pop press:
"Who owns the United States?''
"The people.-'
"Who owns the people ?"
"The politicians."
"Who owns the politicians?''
"The bondholders."
"Who owns the bondholders ?"
':The devil."
And there the catecliist stops. But
the devil is not the final cause in this
world, and why not proceed? "Who
owns the devil?" There is but one an
swer of course. His satanic majesty is
a created being and God owns him, so
after "all, the country is measurably
safe.- Lincoln Journal. .
On last Thursday the republicans of
Ohio held their slate convention and by
acclamation, renominated Major McKin
ley as the party candidate for governor.
His speech of acceptance was one of the
best and strongest he has ever jnade and
that is a good deal to say, for .taL great
protectionist has made many MstJiMe
speeches during the time he has Tleh in
public life. Il is thought to be the
practical announcement of principles on
which he proposes to stand as a presi
dential candidate in 1896. It seems to
be conceded by all that McKinley will be
re-elected as governor of Ohio by an
increased majority and will add much to
the strength of the rest of the party
ticket.
The federal court has decided that the
gates of the worlds fair must be closed
on Sunday. That is a victory for the
churches, saloons and outside shows
which were working together to get
such an order of things. It is one of the
most singular things that can be wit
nessed for the people who are religious
to insist on a thing which will do more
to throw the vast crowd of visitors into
temptation than anything else. If they
had added a little more to their request
and had it obligatory that all should
spend Sundays in church it might have
done some good, but it is out of the
question to legislate people into morality
and if the churches want freedom they
should be willing to grant it to others.
It would be in order for those who keep
the seventh day, to ask the court to is
sue an order to close the fair on Satur
day. There is no more domineering
element known than the churches when
they once get the power. It matters
not what denomination or under what
circumstances. They seem to forget the
rights of others in their effort to make
the rest of mankind do as they think is
right, regardless of what those effected
think about it. Care will need to be
taken or church and state will not long
continue to be as distinct as our fore
fathers decreed they should be.
A Senseless Custom.
Washington Star.
Anti-treating leagues are being organ
ized in more than one city in this coun
try. They should be encpuaged. There
is no more senseless custom prevalent
and few more dangerous to weak char
acters than that which insits that
because two men have drunk once they
must drink again simply "to be socia
ble." A large proportion 6f the human
wreck that are floating toward the
Potter's field on an alcoholic sea lost
their sense of manliness and acquired the
habit of intoxication through tb
"treating" eariom.
It is reported that Governor Cnjuivse
intends to take a trip around tlie world
which will last three months. ' " ' II
make Tom Majors governor for mat
time and Rosewater and the Deadman
statesman will liave a prolonged siege of
the jim-jams in consequence thereof.
The failure of banks and large busi-
ness enterprises are reported with much
more than usual frequency. The chief
causes are that the change in the admin
istration has weakened tlie confidence of
people and that will not be re-established
until the financial policy of the domi
nant party is known, and also to the fact
that a vast amount of money has been
taken from tbe ordinary channels of
business to be used by people who will
attend the worlds fair. It is the general
opinion that the worst has past and
that money will be easier in future.
