mission through the. malls as second
class matter.
The Republicans of Sherman coun
ty have a fashion of running their
affairs to their own liking and if the
pops are not satisfied they can take
the less of it.
Europe IS said to he 26K,000,000
bushel short on wheat this jear
which aught to add to the price of
that cereal in this country. IJnc'e
Sam has a cinch most all the lime of
late.
We have perfect confidence in
Governor Savage’s honesty of pur
pose In the Bartley case and do not
expect to have it shaken until there
is a good reasou for it. When there
is we will say so and don't you for
get it. _
The Omaha Bee is authority for
the statement that the Panama route
for our isthmian canal is not «fl'e«ted
by the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. If
such is the case the fact that Co
lombia is very favorable to the,
United States building the canal,
and the French owners of the Pana
ma plant being desirous to sell out
to us, the prospects for the southern
route are (latteriug.
W. J. Bryan in experiencing a cold '
snap in the east that was not even *
expected by the Republicans. Half
dozen states have already turned
him down in democratic circjes and
more are expected to follow Mr.
Bryan's meteoric career was ephem
eral, simply because his ability was
not what his ardent admirer* believ
ed it to be, and ins deductions on
political economy were entirely ero
neous. No speeches of recent years
has called forth the multitudes aud
left as little lasting impression a*
those of Mr. Bryan. His eloquence
is grand but his reasoning deficient,
his prophesies never come to pass
and his sowing was of the whirl wind
type. _
A pop was heard to say the other
evening that Norlin, the pop treas
urer of Kearney county, that stole
#10,000 of the county’s money this
spring, was a republican. This re
minds us of the old story of the hog
and the Mohammedan mosque. For
a hog to go into one destroyes it tor
all time as a place of worship One
day a swioe entered a very costly
one and a counsel of high priests
was called to determine what to do.
After much worry ami fuss over the
matter it was decided by a majority
vote, that the moment the hog cross
ed the threshold he became an angel
and remained an angel until he re- j
tired when he became a hog again. J
They may show that this fellow had
been a republican before he joined
their party, and he was considered a
very fine man at that time, but I
they must acknowledge he acquired
the bristles while with them.
The uegroes of Alabama are com
bining and forming themselves into
wonting organizations for the pur
pose of combating the new eoustitu ]
lion now nearly complete in that
state, and which has for its object
the disfranchising of the black man.
The negro has nearly arrived at that
point where he will work out his
own salvation. Perpetual disfran
chisment of his race under the stars
and stripes and in the face of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments will be an utter impossibility,
and the more it is tried the less it
will became a fact. Contact with
the Caucasian race has developed
his senses and taught him that his
intellectual growth must keep pace
with that of bis white brother, if he
would enjoy the same privileges.
Education has brought forth its fruii
and the slave of yesterday can be
heard debating his own rigb's today.
Any one residing in the west side
of the county can make any arrange
ment necessary for undertaking and
embalming with C. W. Gibson at
Litchfield. All orders will be
promptly and satisfactorily attend
ed to at reasonable rates.

LETTER FROM THE NATH
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Aug. 16,01.
Dear Father—1 again take the
opportunity of penning )ou a few
lines. We are all well, except ‘Bid’
j lie is troubled considerable with
rheumatism. It is still very hot
here, as we have not had any rain
for a long time. The battleships
Iowa and Philadelphia are anchored
in the bay on the opposite side of
the Island from here, also the gun
boat Petral. There was a big lire
at Berkley, just across the bay. A
large planeing and saw mill burned,
a starch factory and cocoanut oil
mill. There were about three acres
of buildings burned said to be
worth between ten and fifteen mill
ions of dollars. While we were hav
ing genera! signals the other day, we
saw a sailing vessel, weighing some
30 tons, out in the bay capsize. There
were three men on it and they clung
to the bottom of it. The ferry boat
Knical, was just ten minutes out of
Oakland wlieu sbu saw it. Capt.
Harmswortb in charge of the ferry
boat steered straight for the light
house on Verba Beuna or Goat Is
land, and when elo9e enough drop
ped a life boat with a crew of five
and picked them up. The sloop or
sailing vessel, drifted on this Island
and a party of apprentices got it.
The great rock which lay in Golden
Gate, and was dangerous to naviga
tion was blown up yesterday at 12
o’clock. There was :}0 tons of dy
namite used and it was blown down
40 feet below low tide. The big
strike is still on in the cities of Oak
land and San Francisco. The ocean
vessels are being anchored out in
the bay f<w safety and from the fact
that they cannot get men to load and
unload them. How are the crops
coming ou with you. I hope they
are all right. One of our Omaha
landsmen got a medical discharge.
There is nothing much going on on
the Island just now but will have a
hot time on the 2 1 st. There will he
boxing, music, races and a little of
every thing.
Sunday, Aug. 18th.— Well I will
endeavor to Gnish my letter. To
day is Sunday and there are a great
many visitors over from the city.
To-morrow at ten o’clock there will
be thirty landsmen go from here on
the Iowa. She leaves for the Isth
mus. to look after our interests there.
I guess I have told you all of any
interest so I will close. From yours
as ever.
