Where are those middle-of-the
road populists? Alas they have
been fed to the democrats.
The Independent party had better
change its name to dependant party
as they are wholly dependant upon
the democrats and fusion for suc
cess.
The government expects to defray
the expenses of the late war with
the receipts of the war revenue act
in twelve months. This will relieve
our pop friends of the fear of those
dreadful bonds Imaging over them
for the rest of their natural lives.
If one year’s receipts do not pay
the bills it certainly will not take
over two years to Bijuarc up.—State
Journal.
When the independent party start
ed outone of its planks in its plat
form was, • ‘let the office seek the
man not the man the office? This
is the principal which Brown ot the
Times advocated after he became a
full fledged pop. Last week he
made light of the fact that the re
publican party did not have several
candidates for each county office,
who like the pops were hounding
their party to death for recognition.
Norris Brown, the republican can
didate in the big Sixth district has
issued a challenge to Bill Greene,
the fusion candidate, for joint de
bate on the political issues, the de
bates to be held in various cities in
the district beginning the 10th of
September and continue until the
night before election. The people of
the Sixth may therefore expect to
be visited by hurrycanes of oratory
every night during that time, except
ing upon those occasions when Bill
will be taken with severe attacks of
tonsolitis and will therefore be un
able to hold up his end of the string.

France is again being shook from
stem to stern by the disgraceful acts
of her men in high places and Cap
tain Dreyfus, the much sinned a
gainst victim of the chicanery of
French army officers, is likely
to get a rehearing and a vindication
in the near future. M Zola, the
fearless Frenchman that laid the
charges against the high officials of
for ;ry and purgery in the Dreyfus
case and who was stoned and mob
bed by the populus for interfering
in the case, had the pleasure last
week of seeing one of the forgers
confess his guilt and then commit
suicide. The once proud nation that
had all Kurope at her feet is crumbl
ing to decay from the weight of her
own perfidy. If she don’t change
her tactics she may soon be calling
upon Spain to return the good offices
she has supplied her with so as to
save herself from going ashore on
similar shoals.
When men so far forget them
selves as to use the language in con
nection with the chief executive of
this great republic that some of the
pop papers in this bailawick have
been using ot late it is a sure sign
of desperation, on their part and of
dry rot at the heart of the party
they represent. The people of this
-(
land of the free elect men to the
highest office m their gift on account
of their worth and the republican
90 far has never made a mistake.
When Grover Cleveland was elected,
on false pretense, the republicans in
congress assisted him in carrying
out the policy which be said would
heal our woes alt for the purpose of
showing him and the voters that
elected him that he was mistaken
in his ideas. While they criticized
him aDd told him, and bis party that]
their policy would ruin us if persist
ed in, jet he was always treated with j
respect by republicans because lie
was our chief executive, elected by
the people and therefore worthy of
our respect. Hut some of our
pop editors have sank so deep into
the slough of discontent that their
foul cminations will ere long disgust
the better classes and convince them
that nothiog good can come from
such putrid carcusses. Heaping in
sult upon such magnanimous men
as President McKinley always kills
the viper that spuse it out.
A Nebraska female horse who was
the mother of a mule colt, watched
over her offspring with care and so
licitude, hoping that it would final
ly develop into the likeness of her
family; but one day when the colt
getting wellgrown it turned loose a
long bray, whereupon the mother ex
claimed sadly: “Alas this is the re
suit of fusion. 1 thought 1 could
raise you for a horse hut whenever
you open your mouth you speak like
an ass.”
Moral—The result of fusion is ne
cessarily disappointing.—Ex.
Gen. Joe Wheeler, an experienced
soldier, held a little investigation of
his own the other day at camp Wi
kotf. lie had been told that there
was a scarcity of medicines in the
camp. lie routed out Colonel For
wood, the chief surgeon of the com
mand, to know what was the matter.
The colonel assured him that he
had an abundance of medicines, but
the division and regimental surgeons
would not come and get them. Then
he called a meeting of the division
surgeons, t >ld them that there were
plenty ot medicines to be had tor
the asking and that by the next day
he would excus e no one found with
out a supply.
The next day there was still com
plaint and he summoned all the doc
tors before him and inquired if any
of them were unsuplied. One of
them, a Dr. Wood, complained that
he had made a reqmsition, but had
got no medicines. “Ilow is that
Forwood?” he asked, turning to the
chief. “The requisition was
all right," answered Forwood, “but
Dr. Wood did not send a conveyance
to take them away,” Then Wood
said he had only one horse and it re
quired three horses to haul those
n edicines. Wheeler rose in wrath
and hammered the table while he
thundered’“see here, if you don’t
know enough to send your one horse
three times for your medicines, then
you have no business here.” And
he added: “This nonsense has got
to stop right here. There are sup
plies enough of all kinds here in camp
and if the soldiers don’t get them
it’s your fault Men arc dying for
lack of medicines because of your
petty ways of doing things. If not
slopped at once l shall hold you per
sonally responsible tor every death
that occurs from lack of care. I
shall accept excuses about lack of
medicines from no one.”
Wheeler bus hit the right nail.
The camp lacks for no medicines now
and the general took a more direct
and sensible method to stop the a
huse than to call in a correspondent
and abuse the secretary of war for
the lack of medicines in camp Wik

Advice to
Consumptives
There are three great reme
dies that every person with
weak lungs, or with consump
tion itself, should understand.
These remedies will cure
about every case in its first
stages ; and many of those
more advanced. It is only
the most advanced that are
hopeless. Even these are
wonderfully’ relieved and life
itself greatly prolonged.
What are these remedies ?
Fresh air, proper food and
scon’s irnmim
of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo
phosphites. Be afraid of
draughts but not of fresh air.
Eat nutritious food and drink
plenty of milk. Do not forget
that Scott’s Emulsion is the
oldest, the most thoroughly
tested and the highest en
dorsed of all remedies for
weak throats, weak lungs and
consumption in all its stages.

work from the kindergarten up
through the State Univer
sity and is pronounced by lead
ing educators ol other state as one
of the finest educational exhibit ttiey
have ever seen. The New England
Journal of Education, published at
Boston and Chicago, in its issue of
July 1 t makes the following com
ment: The educational exhibit of
Nebraska at ilie Trans-Mississippi
Exposition, Omaha is one of (he
best, if not literally the best, ever
made in the United States.” Great
credit is due to the thousands of
educators and pupils of the
Nebraska schools who so faith
fully co-operated with ns in making
the exhibit a success.
While we all are proud that Neb
raska has the lowest percent of ill
i'eracy we feel that this exhibit is
right in keeping with the high stand
ing onr state has attained.
The work is neatly arranged and
tastefully decoaitcd. Visitors can find
seats where they can rest and exam
ine the work. Vou can ’’Stand up for
Nebraska” perhaps in no better way
than by taking your freinds with you
to see this exhibit which no doubt
is as fine an educational exhibit as
