Official 1’aper Sherman County
If we had more Dewey’s and Ices
Bryans in the United States, this
would be an ideal country to live in.
The German government has with
drawn all of its war vessels from
Manila, and placed its interests in
the keepiug of Uncle Sam. A wise
move for Weary Willey.
A leading ex-populist official was
beard to remark the other day that
“things begin to Iook pretty rotten
at Lincoln." But you could not tell
it by perusing any of the pop
papers of this county.
The Oregon will he with Dewey in
a few days and the Germans have
gone. Dewey is an impearlisl and a
patriot, and the opponents of good
government could not turn his head
by offering him the presidents chair.
I'be fifty- fifth congress contained
twenty populists, while the fifty-sixth
will contain but seveu, and Nebraska
furnishes four of them. It used to
be “bleeding Kansas," but poor old
Nebraska holds that distinction now.
The Orel Journal has caught on
and declares that it will no longer
support pass grabbers. This of
course is the smallest purt of their
iniquities hut the most pop papers
do not even dare to mention that.
By this time General Lawton and
his troops must huve arrived at .Ma
nila, und the Philippine Junta will
beur something drop with a dull thud
that will rnuke them shudder when
that old Indian fighter gets after
them.
The word “Little American” was
coined for the designation of the sore
beads who do nothing hut oppose
the President for political reasons
The facts are they are so infernal
small that the word “American"
should not be disgraced by applying
it to them.
The power of Aguinaldo, in the
Philippines is fust fading, and as
soon us these Islands become a
profitable and peaceful part of tbe
United States every little midget
souled opponent of tne present pol
icy of the government will cry, j
told you so.
The people of the United States
will never elect a man president that
will get a regiment of volunteers
mustered into service for the sake of
getting a colonels commission for
himself and then resign it at the first
sign of danger. Our people are
brave and patriotic, therefore will
always vote for a hero instead of a
coward.
Senator Alien's tenure of office!
expired last Saturday, and Nebraska
will hereafter be represented by two
republicars in the senate. Mr.
Alien can always feel proud of his
record in the senate regardless of
his politics. What a relief it would j
bo to Nehr. if Hill Green had the
principle and manhood that would
entitle him to the same praise and
distinction.
When the organ of a party will
try to cover up the thieving* of
their public officer*, you can depend
upon it that the downfall of that
par V is near a* it should he. Kvery
tuiuute* Hitting* of the legislative
committee while investigating the
charges made by deputy auditor
l.ichty was a continuation of hi*
charges, yet the leadtug pop paper*,
outside of the W orld Herald, make
every efforts to show to the (ample
that l.ichty himself was the trail*
gressor and the men who have a> k
nowledgrd themselves violator* of
the law aud emtieslers, are perfectly
dean while a great part of lh**e
papers do not even mention it
When a newspaper has not got the
mural stamina tu criticise Hi own
par*', when it kne»w* that its leaders
have betrayed the trust given into
their keeping look a little nut for

•DISEASED PUBLIC.”
\ e«. such seems to l»e the ease, it
is deplorable hut finite man lias uot
yet discovered a remedy. From all
ages it liasbeeu such, and if the mil
liniutn don't draw near and purify
the air, if the microbes that run
i iot in the brain of the egotist can
not be extirminate 1 before they at
tack that part of the anatomy of
the calamity manufacturer the world
will always look drear to some.
These poor fellows have always ex
isted, even from remote bible days
they have been with us, but in the
days of sacred writings they were
better able to cope with them. Then
the Lord was hare, or his plenipo
tentiaries was upon the earth with
full authority to treat them, and one
treatment was generally sufficient.
They knew them better then, and
the llrst outbreak wus treated. Some
of them hud as high us seven devils
cast out of them before they could
smile the smile of intelligence and
contentment. Hut now alas civiliza
tion must build asylums and coufioe
the more vicious while the docile
that only shoot off their mouth aie
allowed to run u' large and spread
the disease germs just as they find
congenial soil. Like all parasites
they flourish best in a dry atmos
phere, hence their wonderful increase
b Nebraska from 'fto to '9*1 inclusive.
Hut from later indications it is be
lieved that the good Lord will sub
stitute rain for, saints which there is
no doubt will have the same effect
as to casting out devils.
Last fall during the campaign when
the editor of this paper told some of
the leaders that the pass business
would be a wedge to hurt the popu
lists, we were laughed at by some,
others agreed; and such is proving
to be the case. There is nothing
that has so stirred up our farmer
brethren as this (|uestiou where the
St ite ollicials have admitted they took
all the passes they could get.' The
is*ue is not dead yet and we believe
the fusion forces are strong enough
to weed out until party pledges will
mean something. Last fall the
Journal gave as loyal support to the
state ticket as it could, excuse d the
pass ((uestion on the ground that
the other fellows had took
passes too, and that the populists had
made a good record. Now we are
going to (juit. Puss grabbing can
didates will get no support from us,
even it we have to sit on tbe fence
and let the procession go by. This
idea of continually setting a prece
dent that platforms and pledges
don't mean anything, is played out.

The great number of failures it
planting cedars and other evergreens
lias gone far to discourage furthei
attempts to succeed, personally, fail
ure lias far outrun any success in in)
own bard work and years of watch
ing and waiting. But while I gol
nothing for ruy wora or purchase
money, I gained valuable knowledge.
1 do not suppose that I half way un
derstand the subject now, but I
know several tilings I did not know
at the beginning
Fikst—A seedling will die in five
minutes if exposed to tiie sun and
air. Mr. flili, of Dundee, III. lias
tested this for forty years. In mov
ing plants I use my hand to grasp
the roots and earth arouud them,
press it into a ball and use paper or
rags to hold it there. This done
and I never loose a plant. In lift
ing plants a past* of mud should be
right at hand and the plant roots iro
merced in it and left there, or in
some shape equally safe. Keep the
air and sun away from the roots.
Keconii—Shade the plant the
whole summer after planting. They
will live without it sometimes, but
the shading the first year is the true
plan, old barrels, kegs, boxes open
above and below, plant iuside is
best, pickets driven in the ground a
few inches from the plant on south
side, and s. e. and s. w. corners do
very well where the pickets are close
enough to exclude the sun. Never
cover the plant so as to exclude the
light.
Third—Iso your spade liberally,
pulverize the ground well for two
feet or more in depth, and that much
or more m diameter. Throw back
the mellow earth, put the plant in
the center, loots well straightened
out in natural shape, pour in pail of
water, plunge both hands iuto the
mud and see to it that wet earth fits
every part of your plant roots, then
mulch for three feet all around if.

There were more trusts formed tn
the United States in lSflS than any
in the history of these combines, and
this in the face of the Sherman law
which makes it a crime to combine
for the restriction of production. A
trust is an octopus that will prove
dangerous to foster, and if the Jaw
now on the statutes of the United
States does not make it the duty of
someone to compell respect for it. it
should be speedly amended.

Up to the present time the pop
country papers genera'ly, have not
heard of the selling of their souls
lor a few pieces of silver by auditor
Cornell, or at least they have failed
to make it known if they have, and
news papers are supposed to keep
their readers posted. They sounded
the alarm early aud often when
Bartley and Moore was caught. But
then this is “Us.’
