There are three things necessary
to populist success in Nebraska, fu
sion, confusion and a failure of crops.
The same elements the devil banks on
for success.
The pop organs have the words
’’Combines” and ’’Trusts” stereoty
ped on the brain of heir hypo-edi
tors and when they run out of other
material they just howl trustsand
combines.
Old Glory is the pride of the

The Cuban Junta chose the red white
and blue as their colors, Aguinaldo,
in the Ph.lippines did likewise but
blue seems to predominate with the
Rpadiard. When they encounter the
Yankee, they are rather white, soon
after their prevailing color is red and
for along time after a battle they
feel blue.
The confiding reader of our Mug
wump contemporary will possibly be
shocked when he learns that in 1828
31 duties were nearly twice as high
as they are now, or have been since
1883. They were then $12.50 per,
ton and arc now $0.72. It is a rare
effect of Free-Trade audacity which
would persuade us that the present
duty, £0.72. per ton, nearly the high
est in the history of the country.”
It reaches this conclusion by esti
mating that the duty of $12.50 per
ton was 4 0 per cent, ad valorem
sixty years ago, while $0.72 per ton
is 58 per cent ad valorem now. A
more ludicrous illustration of follies
of Mugwumpery could hardly be
conceived. It would almost per
suade us that the decline of CO per
cent in the price of iron is a grave
misfortune because the decline has
been attended with the terrible ad
vance of 45 percent in ad valorum
duty.

In 1688 when the Spanish Armada
sailed for the shores of great Britain,
i< was by far the most formidable
fleet of war ships in the known
world, and constructed by the proud
and wealthiest nation on the globe.
Intoxicated by her successes in the
western world sought to build a fleet
that would bumble the Anglo Saxon,
and when it was ready to sail away
against the British, it consisted of
160 vessels all well manned and
equipped and supposed to be an in
vincible flotilla that would ravage the
Coast of England and compell her to
sue for peace at any price. But Sir
Francis Drake, writing afterward !
said that, with ail their ostentation,
and circulated reports through Italy
France and elsewhere of great vict
ories won, they did not even sink a
cockboat or tiurn a sheep cote on the
island.
The British met her with a fleet of
fifty sail and drove her all over the
setts dealing a blow every time the
boasttul Don would show fight and
never receiving auy harm in returr,
until finally he battered remnant of
the greatest fleet the world had
known plowed the waves from whence
she came covered with disgrace and
humilliation, as she had sought to
place it upon the people she hated.
The Anglo Saxon had inaugurated j
for her the beginning of In r down- i
ward course and since then it has j
continued. 1 be blowing up or me
Maine, in Havana harbor on Feb.
15, last marked another great epoch
in her history. The hand that touch
ed the button that exploded the mine
which caused that terrible catas
trophe was a withering one for
Spain. The lleets she has lost on :
account of that dastardly outrage
was far more formidable than her
Armada, that she sent against Great|
. i
Britain, jet tiie history of its annibi- j
lation reads like a romance and pla
ces Spain. in the lowest rating among
nations.
The Anglo-Saxon begun the work,
and the Anglo-Suxon has completed
it.
When the populists went into pow
er they did it under the plea that the
old parties had become corrupt and
that a change would unearth all the
crookedness. Of course they had
another reason but this was their
main battle cry at the onset. They
argued that a change every few years
was good. Iu that case if the men
in office were doing wrong it would
surely be discovered. And so nearly
nine years the populist9
parly has had the reins of govern
ment in Sherman county. But
since the election of their first officers
we have never heard them advocate
that a change would he good. The
North western has always maintain
ed that a change in office was good.
In years gone by we advocated a
change of county officers and after
persistant efforts succeeded iu elect
ing what was tbeu called the farmers
and tax-payers ticket. At that time
things were just as they should have
been in the matter of electing county
ollicers. There was no politics in it.
The two factions were pretty evenly
divided and most of the time there
were otHcers of different political
faith to serve the people. Then if
mistakes were made they were surely
discovered. Hut when one faction
or party is continually iu ollice it is
next to impossible for the people to
discover mistakes or wilful uiaifetn
anee in olliuc. Sherman county has,
since the election of a populist ticket,
been more fortunate than some of
her sister counties, at least so fur .is
the people know, or have at. v way of
tlmling out except by a change of
