Official Paper Sherman County Can you look into the eye of a First Nebraskan and say I endorsed the veto. Dewey is on bis way home. He says he dreads the reception of bis country men. When the democrats begin tbeir proposed investigation of the trusts sf the country, will they demand in formation as to the amount which the silver trust has paid in behalf of Mr. Bryan during the last four years. According to late statistics there are 812,643 Odd Fellows, 780,717 Free Masons, 410,000 Modern Woodmen and 370,000 A O. U. VV. men in the United States, or nearly tw i and one half million members in the four orders. There ie the complete nucleus of a ring in Sherman county politics at present that needs watching very close. If tbe farmer voter will keep his peepers open he will discover that some people are becoming in toxicated with success, and that a little turning down is the best pana cea. It is said that a change in parlies once in a while for local government at least, is very healthy for the pen pie, bb rings and faetions are very liable to be formed and officials get corrupt. \V<* belie vaj we have eome very good populist officers in this county hut our voters must not im magine that all tbeir nominees are saints. It takes h man whose liver has all turned to gall to veto a resolution of thanks for services well done and then run 1,500 miles to be first to ■ bake bands with the men be has in jured A regiment wbo can boaslof a fighting record second to none are no lick spitlal* and don't you never doubt it. While it has been the practice of the populists of this state iu the past to discredit anv charge that was made against their leaders by assert ing that, as it came from a republi can it would not be believed, that day is fast passing. They got reck less just to the extent that this scheme for covering up their rotten ness succeeded and from this on wdl be expected to show up or quit. The p< pulisl papers of late have been doiug some tall whistling to keep up the courage of their parly by telling them that thsy were all patriots sud ready to lay down their lives for the stars aud stripes if ueed be. Weil, most people are, hut a coulewplible wielcb who never dates to publish a latter from lbs seat of wai unless he happens to tumble oo to oue that is chuck full of treason and inspired by a brain a% coarse as the kniuny of a bul lock, tan t make the world believe there le much lo)slt> in him Will tba popullal idiiuri and laatlara ganarallt uf Nabraaba aipar lame that alaaina entrant i*oru of a • »ru» lik-ari ami a lot* for Iba <la faa>iara of oar couatrt a dag, atari from iba aaat of a (fa at Ion and eoura* tbrtitrgb bia train*. tom tong a Itha eur rant from iba baart of onr auldtar b<>> a aa tba) t’l*a|* baiota Mp*>a tba drat wanting of lira l>«'>n«a<| bartta front tba HkillHtMkN. ttr will Iba blttab of aitawa wtatla b<* tl«a«b aa ba gaaaa tato tb« «t bitat b><t a a)aa and raatl li-attn tba fato, lb ugb •*i|ipr**a».l, tbat iba odium • ngbl to It* baat»d «|*o« tba ta anti Iba eatta* M a bub tbat «*r* dgntiwg la Mail b mm* l*t atari boat* itiMtag tttiualaar The ‘Trust Octopus” as it is styl ed by the allied forces io politics, as opposed to the Republican party, is no doubt a menace to many small institutions of production in the U. S , and therefore will woik a hard whip to certain dulses of people, more especially the “Drummer” or traveling salesman for wholesale houses. Business will be more con centrated and less of that class will be required to do the work, compe tition in the wholesale trade will not be so great, but so far experience teaches us that prices will be the very lowest possible thereby benefit ing the consumer directly but indi rectly throwing more men upon the market to compete with him for wages, thereby probably more than overbalancing any benefit he might derive from a trifle lower prices in merchandise, tberofore it is the sen timent of the people of all parties to pass good sutlloient laws for their restriction. That the Republican party is indirectly the cause of the formation of these combinations we are uot ready to dispute, but that that part} are any inoro to blame for their existance than a beautiful summer day is for being followed by a cyclone that wrecks buildings and destroyes life we deny. The policy of the Republican party lias been the harbinger of prosperity always. One need not lake the word of any man for this, but look up authentic politi history aud satisfy themselven. In our own day we know that trusts are active when the country is enjoying increased prosperity. Daring the Cleveland regime, from '92 to '96, when the country was compelled to borrow more than five million dol lars for every month of democratic rule to pay running expenses, trus's were not beard of, simply because capitsl feared the policy of depres sion which always has characterized democracy. But as soon as pros perity set in trusts became active. Would the average voter destroy our present unprecedented prosperity and commit commercial suicide for the purpose of getting rid of trusts? When they do they are killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Would it not be far better to join in with the only party that ever passed an anti trust law and restrict these com binations, than to again promote democratic demoralization as w ? have had it in the past Dr. TurtoD, of Lexington, in his address of welcome to the Republ can congressional convention, last week said, that be had been a life long democrat but now had come to the parting of the ways, had served his country as a soldier in the war of '61 to '65 and tad been a democrat through all the yrars sinee, but he could not nor would not endorse the sentiment of disloyally promulgated by the democracy in recent platforms and speeches. Nor never would re cognize the utterances of disloyalty ms applauded by the populist con gressional ccnveniion held in that same building the week before. A min liter of the gospel told us the other day that while ou the tram a short time since, he met a soldier Just returned from the Philippine*, who delighted in abusing the war, the President, (Jen Otis nod the whole push.
