The Bherman county Agricultur al society are making preparations for the holding of a good fair. “Speak gently it is better far.’’ And if you can’t, go edit a pop paper and hear yourself howl. The Republican Congressional convention, for the sixth Congress ionnl district will he held at Broken Bow, on the 24, day of August, Speak kindly of a man when he is living, it does him good and makes you looks pleasant; any galoot can say a kind word for a man after he is dead. Did you ever get vexed? Well if you didn't you never belonged to the prohibition party and had your lead ers quit you cold for a pop nomina tion and thus “sell their birth right for a mess of potage. The query is, is Poynter, the pop nominee for governor, county attor ney Long and the editor of the Times still in good standing in the piohibi tion party. The poppy peculiarities of phat the devil is it, on Bail Roal, St., de voted so much space to the North western last week that Tibbies letter was crowded out. It is pbunny about that patent medicine agent that blew into the phest homo over the street. He sized up the place and then came over to the orphanage and paid us a decent price in cash. He said the Times man wanted f“0. worth of worm medicine for the work but he did’nt dare sell it only to dealers. The free silver republicans have got so scarce that there is only a very few left, and those are kept in museums for future geueratious to see after the race becomes extinct. There is room left in the case for a pop or two, who are fast following their half brother. They will be known as the Kunsas-Nebraska twin mummies when they get a little dryer. On .lime 30, last the end of the fiscal year for Uncle Sam, the excess of exports over imports was $1151, 000,000 or nearly ten dollars per head for each tuan woman and child in the country. Or if taken before the last democratic administration give us the set back would of been suf ficient within 17,000,uuo to of li ■juidated our national deb1, und us It is would pay (wo thirds (he pres ent amount. If that is not prosper ity what is it. A uet gam of )uat that much wealth for our couuiry in one year, and that drawn fioui other countries. Of course that is tough od the other fellow but the republi can party looks after our own coun try first and the o her fellow after wards Paring the democratic ad ministration everything wss differ cut. The pop platform declared that we were “on the brink of tiers I flnsnolsl slid political ruin,' ami it Itegaii to loos a little that way. Hut Presto i Usage, the country is pots l*rou», and the wealth of the world l i io being dumped at our doors, the laborer lias wo rk, (he hungry are fed. Our wealth increasing at the same rale for ten years would pile up a per capita that even a pop editor would be astonished at. But there is but one way to make a populist leader happy and that is to give him an office, in his own estimation he is a little above the common held and should be a ruler. It matters not how successful an administration is, if it is not pop it is wrong. According to their speakers no policy is right but theirs, and theirs is a second i growth of democratic dclcriums that would run the country into dpht faster than the Wilson bill did. A genuine pop stump speaker is likoi a Maltese Jack, lie is noted for the distance you can hear him bray and the rapidity with which he kicks. You couldn't make him smile if you tick eted his nose with a straw, he always cairies u semi cemetery look about him. But say ofllce to him and his ears will wiggle like a jack rabbits when ho hears the hounds, and a smite will encircle his head from ear to ear The religious demonstration made on board the battleships at Santiago, in connection with the victory over the Spanish having given rise to some invidious comparisons be tween the commanders, one of these the captain of the “Iowa,” has felt called upon to exhonorate himself I I w If l cm: *.

He gives the following reason for not summoning bis crew to a r< ligious service of prayer and praise at the conclusion of Hie san gunary engagement which destroyed the Spanish fleet: “I found my ship surrounded by boats carrying dead and wounded prisoners and others of the crew of the ‘Vizcaya’ to the number of 250. To leave these men to suffer for want of food and clothing while I called my men aft to offer prayer was not ray idea of either Christian ity or religion. I preferred to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, ami succor the sick, and I am sfnmg ly of the opinion that God has not put a black mark against me on account of it.” Beyond question the captain of the “Iowa” is fully qualified relig iously to command his ship.—Arner idan Senlinal.
