The pops of the state are talking
Bryan for governor in 1902. Well,
we won't do a thing to him; that is
\ to prevent his nomination. No man
in the state could be easier beaten.
The army of republican voters
over the state will strand his politi
cal ship on the sand bars of the
Platte so far that the few remaining
anything for office seekers will never
able io launch her.
Of those who have put up a good
fight for the redemption of Nebraska,
the claims of M. P. Kinkaid stand
oat in bold relief. He has twice gone
into the lion's den, and though he
has not killed the lion, he has so
far drawn his claws as to make him
appear a comparatively mild animal,
compared witti 189(3. The majority
of the Big six has beeD cut down
to small proportions uud the repub
lican party is indebted to M. P. Kiu
kaid for waging the hardest fight of
the campaign. —Rushville Record.
President Kruger of South Africa
was received in Europe in Royal
fashion and his speeches wure listen
ed too w ith marked interest. He char
acterizes the British army as a host
of barbarians and says they are more
relentless than the KoHir. History
does not bear him out in this and it
is a hard tiling to believe they have,
all at once turned their backs upon
the code of civilized warfare. In true
English war determined to crush the
South Afracan Republic regardless
of the cost, but to day she burnt tbe
homes of defenceless women and
children, after their husbands and
fathers had been killed, is putiug it

The future of Democracy seems to
be the nil absorbing 'opie with most
of the people holdiug that political
faith and with many private memb
ers of the party, es; e iaily those w ho
have been particularly favored at
Democratic headquarters. Why lie
faithful should be so exorcised over
the future of their party is easy to un
derstand when judged from the past.
Mr. Higgins of Cambridge. Nebras
ka says in the World Herald that
“democracy has been the cry of the
masses for the past century, but it
has been tqe abode of ballot s for
half that time Mr. Higgins is a
good democrat and be knows. Yet
while he did not say so it is presumed
that he meant the last half. The
only objection we can or wish to
raise to his asset lion is that his
‘■half’’ is twenty five year? too short.
Democracy began her consorting
with “harlot’s" as early as 1825,and
her coarse has been marked by the
wreck of our commercial interist
during each of her administrations
since her persuasions have been as
smooth as down y felt to the voter
and her argument apparently plausn
ble, but a test of her policy stingeth
like an adder and biteth like a serp
ant. Democracy should take hee<*
from the past sue is filled with dead
men s bones and if berstables
are not renovated she cun well fear
for the future. She still prides her
self on traditions of Jeffersonian
doctrine, but fail to realize that con
ditions are constantly changing anil
that a hundred years hence will re
quire different legislation from that
of today if we would keep pace with
the worlds progress. So it is with our
policy of to day as compared with
that of a hundred years ago Jeffer
son would have hanged the man who
would dare to preach the doctrine of
VV. J. Bryan, yet they wonder why
Democracy is becoming a stench id
the nostrils of the America people.

The Fremont normal school is at
tended by a particular little heroine,
She is a young woman of about sev
enteen summers who seems determ
ined to overcome all obstacles in tlie
way of getting an education. She is
of American descent and has no rel
atives who are able to help her.
Last fall farm hands were scarce in
the county of Nebraska in which she
lives and she applied to a neighbor
for a job in the field husking corn.
He agreed to pay her the usual rate
per bushel and she took her team
and went into the field with the men
and kept tip witn them. She husked
out 1.4O0 bushels of corn for one
farmer and worked at eornhusking as
long as there was work tc be bad.
This summer she went into the fields
and did farm work because, as she
said, it paid better than anything
else that she could get to do. She
has earned enough to pay her school
expences for this year and, if she
can find nothing better to do, will go
into the fields again next season. The
joints of her hands show plainly how
hard lias been their usage but they
are tbe hands of a woman which it
will be safe for any >oung man. of
w hatever position in life to take,
rather than the young belle who
would permit her mother to wash the
dishes daily in fear that she would
chap the skin. She will make an
excellent helpmate not so much be
cause she is willing to work and
even do manuel labor, but because
she is unwilling to shirk responsibi
ities in order to overcome the prob.
that life gives. —Grand Island Inde

WHERE PRICES ARE STEADY.
Tbe Mountain Dealer Objected to a
I'all For IteliKlonn Keaaonn.
"That re mi tills me indirectly,” said
the other drummer, ‘‘of a yarn 1 heard
lately over In South Carolina told at
the expense of a peculiarly guileless
old chap who keeps a little crossroads
store up in the mountains. Everybody
wears boots in that part of the country,
and, as the story goes, the old fellow
had been buying his stock for many
years of a manufacturer in a big city
not 1,000 miles away. lie paid $0 a
pair for ids boots when he tirst went
into business, and the maker had con
tinued charging him the same figure
year after year regardless of the fact
that the market price had been steadily
going down. The old storekeeper, se
cluded from file world in his mountain
home, never dreamed flint he was be
ing fleeced and took pride in paying Ids
bills with docklike punctuality.
“At last, wlieu that grade of hoots
was quoted at $2.50, the manufactur
er’s conscience smote him, and lie de
cided to make amends. So he wrote
the country merchant, saying that
there had been a considerable decrease
In the price of leather, and lie was glad
to state that he would lie aide to let
him have the last lot of boots he order
ed at $4 a jiair. This, he added, was a
special low rate, made on account of
personal esteem and the fact that ho
had been a regular customer for such a
long period. A few days afterward the
conscientious manufacturer was amaz
ed to receive a letter running some
thing like tiiis:
“Dear Sir- It's mighty kind of you all to offer to
let mo have them boots at $1, but I wish you
would please keep the price the same as what it
was before. 1 have been, selling them boots for $10
a pair fur 12 years, and, being a deacon in the
church, 1 don’t think it ivould be right to take no
stronger profit. So no more at present from, yours
truly, Peter IX>e.’* i

THE PALACE WAITED.
A Huililrr’n Slinu?«t Ion Tlmt ChntiK*
<-<l tli? I’laiiH of a I’ope.
At a time wlicu there was great suf
fering among the people from lack of
food aud when famine in its worst
form was threatened Pope Alexander
VI had made arrangements for tlie
erection of a magnificent palace. The
best architects bad been employed, und
the plans had been submitted and ac
cepted, and an accomplished builder
had been sent for to come from Venice,
a man whoso work had won for him re
nown and who was known to be a just
and upright man.
The builder had arrived, and at an
appointed time he waited upon his ho
liness to receive the plans and make his
estimates. “There is one thing yet to
be done,” said the pope. “There lias
been no proper Inscription or legend
thought of to be placed over the main
entrance of the palace. It should be
put above the great gate. You have
had experience. I)o you think of an
inscription that would be appropriate?”
“If your holiness would pardon mo
for the liberty, I might suggest one
most appropriate at this time."
“Y’ou are pardoned in advance," said
the pope, smiling. “Now, what shall it
be?”
“Sovereign pontiff, let It be thus:
‘Command that these ston> , be made
bread!’ ”
The pope was visibly aud deeply af
fected. lie paid the builder munificent
ly for Ills expenses of coming and go
ing, and instead of building his palace
be fed the hungry ones of his children.

Married the Bay They Met.
Horace Greeley and Mary Young
Cheney were married the-first day they
met. They had corresponded for some
time, a common friend, who was some
thing of a matchmaker, having brought
this about. She was all his fancy paint
ed her, but she was much disappointed
in his appearance, so much so that
when he appeared before her, having
proposed and been accepted by letter,
she frankly told him that, although she
married him, she was not in love with
him. Their married life was long and
happy, and the loss of Ids w.ue was a
blow which Greeley did not -ong sur
vive.
