Official Paper Sherman County
The Spainards says Santi-I*go,
Shafter is coming
When Dewey Says O lymp-ia to a
Spaniard he goes off on one leg.
Gen Shafter weighs 310 lbs, no
wonder Spaniards get out from under.
Grant weighed I7"> lbs Shafter
weighed 310 lbs but we will waite
until the Cuban campaign is over
to see which was the biggest man.
Osborn Degnan one of the beros
of the Merrimac was a weary waggles
in 1892 another exemplification of
the fact that great men may spring
from l’lebeans as well as patricians.
The populists of Holt county in
convention assembled last Saturday
turned Congressman Greene down
by rejecting a resolution which
favored him as a candidate for an
other term, Judge Westovcr seemed
to be the favored candidate.
Sagasta bas resigned as Premier of
Spain, and a new cabinet must be
selected. They had bet er come over
and get Uncle Sam to release Ceave
ra, and make & Prime Minister out of
him. He shows more and better
judgment than all the other Spanish
officials combined, and ho realizes
the worth of Yankee friendship.
It is not yet fully decided upon
by the pops of the big sixth wither
they want the curley headed preacher
statesman from Kearney’ for their
next candinate for Congress or not.
Some counties seem to oppose him
but Sherman, as of yore is never
happier than when she can find a
first class bag of wind with a six inch
muzzle attachment for high wines.
Congress adjourned last Friday
sinie die. They passed resolutions
of annexation of the Hawaiian
slands before their final adjourn
ment. The Democratic trick of pull
ing down the stars and stripes from
State house at Honolulu, five years
ago has been rightcn by a Repub
lican admmistiation again placing
old glory in the same place that
Cleveland temoved it from. Ret
her waive until all the world tastes
of her freedom.
There was a populisticus conven
tion held at Watkinson hall last Sat
urday, lor the election of delegates
to attend the State, Senatorial and
Congressional convention. A small
but faithful crowd was on hand as
usual, some of the leaders)heretofore)
failed to pop and it looked to “a
man up a tree" as if a goodly num
ber had clipped their eyebrows and
daylight was gleaming into their
orbs once more. A full set of So
cialistic resolutions was gotten
through the convention preparatory
to a run for third base as soon as
the pop vote falls short in an elec
tion.
The Santa Fee railway company
will consume over #130,000 worth
of war stamps annually, exclusive of
the stamps necessary to carry on
the companies stock and financial
transactions in New York City. This
company, after the new revenue law,
passed, at once dispensed with the
pay car system aud went to issuing
private checks to all of their em
ployees and as the government re
HUires them to stamp each check the
cost would sproximate the above
figures And yet the pops howl
about the railroad companies not be
ing generous aud public spirited
enough to help whsn an opportunity

government ownership of railroads

We h're a good many say that
Cervera should he turned loose out
of respect for bis kindness shown to
Hobsen and his Crew. We believe
too that this should be done, provid
ed he wishes it. At present, how
ever, he seems to he well pleased
with his treatment and seems more
anxions to find out how the people
of his own country will accept the
news of his defeat than he does
about his own situation. There is
do question Cervera should receive,
and is receiving, the kindest consid
eration from our people. He was in
the boat that came out and took
llobsen and his men pr.soners, and
but for his commanding presence
they doubtless would have all been
killed.
Is the country lost* or will it sur
rive the shock of another summer
sault by the Long Cottonwood of the
Platte? Since Hilly has become a
“Cunne.” he has concluded that it
is not all togather free silver that
worries that noble brain of his. But
the intense fear that our Uncle Sam
uel may annex some outlying terra
tory and thereby depart from the
hoary headed Monroe doctrine, has
given Mr. Bryan, a new idea, or re
lieved him of the painful necessity
of forever dwelling upon an obsolete
subject, and presented the grand
oppertunity of taking up a living
issue. That cross of gold has been
relegated to the rear and hearafter

Sam will commit an unpardonable
sin if be don’t taue another bitch in
his belt instead of allowing himself
to expand.
The following quotation from Col.
Hepburn, of Iowa at a recent
convention which renominated
him, for the eight time, to congress
give some facts worth reading. The
Col. says:
“Do you remember that on this
year ending on the 31st day of this
month, eleven months of the time,
we having the accurate figures, and
the other being an estimate, do you
remembar that we have sent abroad
and sold $0,0CH),000,00O more of
merchandise than we have bought
abroad. Our export trade will reach
the enormous sum of more than one
hundred and twenty five thousand
million, ending on the end of this
month; while our imports have been
at a little in excess of six thousand
million more sold than we have been
compelled to buy abroad. Why,
gentlemen, it is only a few years ago
that we were told if we had a high
protective tariff it would destroy our
foreign comerce. We were told if
we did not admit freely of imports of
other nations that they would not ad
mit our exports. Doesn’t that sound
familiar? How many times the arches
of this room have rung with demo
cratic declarations of that character.
And yet the gentlemen will say that
is because of the great distress of
other countries and their need of
our wheat.
I have other good news to tell
you. Our export manufactured ar
ticles exceeds the import of manu
factured articles more than twenty
five millions of dollars this year, a
thing that has never happened be
iure m tue uiniury ui mis coumry.
We have sent abroad of our manu
factured articles more than eighty
five million dollars worth of goods
this year, while we have brought
abroad only fifty millions of dollars
worth. We pay from one hundred
to one hundred and fifty million of
dollars every year for carrying our
foreign merchandise and what we
import. Ought we to do that? We
are now building ships in American
ship yards for foreigners, for Russia
for Japan, for China. We began in
IHBs to build a modern navy. 1 had
the pleasure of voting for the first
bill authorizing the building ot a
first modern steel vessel for the Am
erican navy, book what a navy we
have now! grown in fifteen years!
and to it we are addings and vising
with all others to protect the best
ship yard* in the world, and we are
building them rapidly. That nation
