The Sioux City Journal Bays that
bioyolo tires will be considerable
advanced in price this year. How
ever , RO long as Senator MaHon ,
Pettigrew and lion do not enter
into a combine the coat of infilling
the Urea will not bo advanced mat
erially.
It begins to look like the fu
sion forces are having" all the
trouble they want. Of course ,
they find comfort in the peaceful
harmony that prevailed when all
the kickers were turned out. The
action of'the national committee
has served public notice on all
pops , that hereafter they must be
democrats or be kicked out. The
"people" we used to hear so much
about , have become a few self
constituted bosses , and the fusion
party represents the most pitiable
farce of a self governing- party
ever known. Well , it is not our
fight , and we shall enjoy watch
ing them "chaw" each others
ears.
We are informed that the dem
ocrats are making a strong effort
to force a democratic paper into
every populists home in the state.
The Chicago Dispatch is working
with every means to insinuate it
self among the pop brethren. Re
quests are being sent to populis1
central committee men to forward
names of all populists. Strange
the populists can't see that this
is one of the ways being used to
wholly absorb their party. It is
not much wonder the democrats
dare to pitch the pop delegates
"over the transom , " since the }
have filled pop homes with demo
cratic literature. We predic
there will be thousands of formei
republicans who will not enjoy
copperhead literature now an )
more than the } ' did during the
civil war. The memory of dem
ocratic soup house * still haunt
some people.
It begins to look like the Pops
will have to find some other po
litical orphanage than Democra
cy. While it was mean , yet it
was a natural thing to do , whet
the Democrats riRBD the Pops
"over the transom. " The Demo
crats iinow that Eastern Democ
racy despises Pops , and will no1
mix with them in convention or
be in any way compromised bj
them. They recognize the im
possible gulf between a KKAI , Pop
and Democrat , and do not propose
to have their national convention
embarrassed with them. Thej
KNOW that the leaders of the Pop
party can be duped into obedience
to their will , by promises and
these leaders are expected to plead
with the voters with tearful eyes
and "Once more for Bryan's sake'
'till they get them into line. We
predict lots of fun next fall when
AIL these political jobs get to
working. Will the Pops ever
learn what a fool Bryan is mak
ing of them ! The Pop's love for
Democracy reminds us of Rutl
and Naomi , except that one is
SACKED history and the other PRO
FANE. The Democrats may "pUcl
them out over the transom , " bu
they won't leave. They still re
peat , "Entreat me not to leave
tliee , or to return from following
after thee ; for whither thou . go
est , I will go ; and when thoi
lodgest , I will lodge ; thy peopl
shall be my people , and Bryan
who is thy God , will be my God. '
We saw a pig the other day
chasing1 a cow and trying to suck
The cow exhibited her disgust by
kicking- the pig end over end
Still the pig kept up its calami
tous squealing and grabbing fo
the teat , We said that repre
cuts IhcjPops after Democracy.
Mio old cow never kicked the pig
larder than the Democrats kicked
he Pops at Lincoln in their na-
ional committee. Still they
queal for the public tcta.
While Americans naturally
ympathixe with the Boers , be-
auhe they are the weaker , we
annot refrain from reciting a
ittlc history to show how incon-
istant Bryan and his followers
ire. As will be remembered the
emocrats'colonized Texas when
t was part of Mexico. These
emocrats wanted to run affairs
n Texas. The Mexicans ob-
cctcd. The democrats appealed
o the president of the United
States to be protected against
Mexicans. The Mexicans said ,
ve will attend to our affair , you
ittetid to yours. A democratic
) resident Sent armies to punish
he Mexicans. It was a GI.OKIOUS
JKMOCKATIC war for Impcrilism"
ind Slavery.
By the way , the trouble bc-
ween the Boers and England is
exactly the same as the trouble
) ctwcen the United States and
Mexico was. Democrats seem to
forget about their history. Well
t is no wonder , for they have

Special Correspondence. )
' 1 ho dotnocraticMiat'oual coiumit-
.00 naa just finished its mooting
aero , with the result that Kansas
City is selected as the place for the
convention and the fourth of July
as the date. Once before the dem
ocrata aoloctcd July fourth as the
dale for a convention. They made
up vhat they called a "consecrated
platform , " and nominated a "con
secrated" candidate to boat Grant.
The record of the party was too
bad , however , and self-styled "oou
socratiou" did not save il.
In Iho recent mooting of demo
crats Arthur P. Gorman of Alary-
laud took part , in spite of Iho fact
that ho was opposed to Bryauiam
in 18 < JO and is opposed to it now.
Ho has a prcsdontial bee of his own
which ho is keeping hived until
1004. Like other hard money dem
ocrats ho knows thr L the only safe
ty of the leaders is to apparently
stay with the party until Bryan'um
is vripcd off the political map. A
largo number of eastern democrats
will act with the party so far as
appoarauo' s go , but will vote
ag.uuat Bryan
It le considered almost a joke
for a party to select the Fouith of
July as a convention date , when the
delogalea assembled will represent
a conglomeration of ideas such us

Independence written by such an
assemblage would be a great cuii-

A gentleman in Washington who
has boon looking up some figures
regatdingtho progress of prosperity
in the west has made public what
ho considers some extraordinary
facts about Nebraska. Ho finds
that uudur the last three years ol
the democratic national admini
stration the real estate owners in
Nebraska increased their mortgages
$8,517,085 , being an increase of
debt of $5.00 per capita on land
alono.
Under the ursl tbreo years of
McKinloyistn Iho Nebraskana re
duced their mortgage indebted ness
$1 ) ,907,007 , being a not reduction
of It 19.00 per capita , and fairly
representing the difference between
republicanism and democracy.
It is also remarked with much
Wonder in the east that the individ
ual bank deposits iu Nebraska
amount lo nearly $50 per capita ,
being an increase of fully $25 since
1800. Add the $25 ineroaso in
deposits to the $11) ) representing tbo
decrease in land mortgages , and it
ia found that the people of the stale
are $44 per capita , or aboul forty-
four million dollars better off than
were in 1890.
It ia such figures as these that
will worry the calamityitos in the
coming campaign.
In the debates no ( V going ou in
Congress the democrats keep up
thoirusual policy of antagonizing
everything the republicans propoao.
In this they simply follow the pre
cedent established in 1804 when
ihoy declared "Iho war is a failure. "
The "anti-ovorylhing" policy wil'
bo carried right through iho coming
campaign. Nebraskans will have
to moot the same ill-natured growl
which is being generated hero. II.
