The Argus claims that Sampson was a
populist, but Colonel D. B. Anthony, of
the Leavenworth Times, goes him sev

'Satan was the first populist. He

they were itlmsed when they were not

Never has so many train robberies
ben reported as of lato. Almost daily
the papers contain accounts of attempts
in that line, so that it lias come to be
referred to as ao epidemic of train rob
bing. Express and railroad companies
.are taking steps to protect themselves
and their patrons. In a number of in
stances the robbers have been repulsed
With loaa of life at the hands of those in
charge of the train. There will likely
fee some sharp fighting if the attempts
are continued.

that a gusher will reward the venture.
Senator Stewart does not explain the
meaning of the Fremont Tribune in ref
erence to the contests. It must be that
be was into so many dirty schemes that
he is afraid that he might try to ex
plain the wrong one and get tangled in a
web of his own weaving. What has be
come of the "honor" about which he
was so sensitive a short time ago?
The Tucker bill the object of which is
the repeal of the federal elections law
is causing a good deal of stir in congress
and a hard fight will be made by the
members from the south to carry the
bill through. It is the measure by
which the democrats hope to be enabled
to maintain their supremacy, but its
passage is considered doubtful.
The crop report for August shows a
large decline iD all of the principal
grain crops througout the United States,
while fruit and potatoes are out of
sight. The result of such a condition in
other years would be advanced- prices
but in these good old democratic times
the purchasing ability of the people has
decreased just about as much as lias the
amount of the products so that there is
not likely to be any material change in
prices.
Terrence Powderly is out with a de
mand for the government control of
railroads in order that the men em
ployed on them ma3' receive higher
wages and pensions at the close of their
term of service. The pops have been
out for three years now clamoring for
government control in order that the
cost of transportation may be reduced.
When Terrence and the pops finally get
on top and begin putting their theories
into practical application there will be a
halcyon on tap. Lincoln Journal.
It looks as if the silver advocates in
the senate had talked repeal to death
It is claimed that the administration is
now attempting to bring about a coni'
promise. The situation proves that
neither free silver nor a single gold
standard will be the result. The busi
ness of the country is resuming its
normal tone and the money is getting
back into the channels of trade for the
people have become satisfied that good
money will continue to be the currency
of the nation. Now if congress will
take some action which will show that
it does not intend to force free trade on
the people, the factory wheels will once
more begin to move and the cry of
hard times would soon be extinguished
by the hum of industry.
The wild attempt of the editor of the
Omaha Bee to secure the nomination of
his pet candidate for another term on
the supreme bench has brought out
some peculiar things. One of the most
amusing is the statement by the
"Pilate" of the republican party that he
did not seek to be made member of the
national committee and that the position
was forced upon him. The people of the
state have not forgotten the warfare
waged by Hosewater on his predecessor
on the committee for a long time before
the selection of a new man was nmde
and any one who Una watched the tac
tics adopted by the Bee man knows what
such a course under such circumstances
means. Again it has been shown that
Eosewater secured a renewal of the
lease of the apartments used as army
headquarters by democratic endorse
meat on the grounds that he bad helped
to elect John A. McShane to congress
and had done as much to elect Boyd gov-
ernor as any democrat in Nebraska. It
is about time that the republican party
should cease to bow down to such a
creature. His pitiful whine is pretty
well shut out by the scorings given him
by Ross L. Hammond and L. D. Rich
ards. If Maxwell was the best man to
have been nominated a short time ago he
has lost his availability by the action of
Hosewater. It is to be regretted ;that
the nght Mas been forced in the republi
can ranks by Rosewater in his attempt
to force the party to do an unwise thing.
The democrats and pops have been pre
dicting dire disaster to the republican
party if it does not make Maxwell its
candidate. The leaders of the opposi
tion know full well that Maxwell is
veik and hence they want him put up
in hopes of electing one of their own
kind of people. It would be a credit to
the aged chief justice if he would step
aside and give some good, young west
ern man a cliance to throw himself into
the breach and lead the party to victory
in November.
As predicted in these columns last
week Chas. E. Verity has become the
editor or the Independent, having re
signed as cashier of the Bank of Harri
son to accept the management of pop
organ (probably at a much greater sal
ary) and he proceeds like all his prede
cessors who have run the opposition
paper to wade into the editor of TBI
Joubmau As the opposition paper baa
devoted more apace to that subject for
something over four years than to any
tttmr ita reader will no donbt apfcfc!e
a series of articles on the topic. A case
is cited where editor of this paper did
not meet a note when due and has siujs
poken of the cash: r of the I1"' t ' ' -,
vhora the money was obtaine- - a ,
ocoi.sistanl 10 advocating x uocu -nivra
nd continue in the uuikiug business.
Of course it is a high crime not to be
able to meet debts promptly aud it is
certainly ungrateful after having paid
the debt and good interest, cot to al
ways uphold the cashier m all of his
political moves, and should any of the
homesteaders to whom Mi-. Verity has
oaned money at (i per cent a month fail
to help him carry on his selfish, con
temptible schemes they will be forever
branded as being "ungrateful.'
Because Simmons did not pay a note
when due is all that is needed, to justify
nil the acts of treachery on the part of
the rtfonner-for-G-per-cent-a-inonth. It
is all the excuse necessary for the con
spiracy of Verity, Lindeman, Guthrie
and their strikers in the village election
last spring.
Because the editor of Tue.'Jouk.nal did
not pav a note promptly is probably the
excuse Senator Stewart will give for his
dishonorable tricks during the legislative
session.
Because Simmons did not pay a note
promptly is all the reason necessary
why men who can be controlled by the
graud dictator of the litlle ring of cute
people should be elected to ofhee at the
coming election, regardless of the inter
ests of the people.
It is the same old cry of "look at Sim
mons" in order to detract attention from
the acts of those sham reformers who
are tinder the thumb of Mr. Verity.
But the people have become aware of
the fact that office or boodle is all that
Verity and his strikers have "reformed"
for and will act accordingly.
