Caniu Nation has boon rcloaaod on bail and will try nor band at editing a paper. Thu Pacific mail sluamor , Kio-do Jtuiairo , was wrecked on a rook near San Francisco on thu 2Jd. Not less tban ICO victims are believed to bavo gouo down with the ship. "The Hastings Tribune alleges that tlio insane asylum at that plauo was overstocked with butter to the extent of twelve thousand poundH during tlio lust two months of the fusion administration , and that on February 1st there were Htill over nine thousand pounds of stale and worthless Bluff on hand. " Thin would indicate that HOtuuoue connected with the supply board got a good si/.ed tip. The railroad bond election in Arnold township last week was a very much one sided affair. The vote for bonds was 102 and against 42 , a majority of more than 2 to 1. The Hui'UULiOAN hopcn that the highest expectation ? of the people of the vicinity of Arnold may be realized and tint at an early date they may have the advantages af forded by a first class railroad , Senator ilarlau is being considered erod quite favorably for senator from the South Platte country Should D. E. Thompson withdraw from the raoc , Senators llarlan and Currto would make ideal mem bers of the United States senate and their election would strengthen the republican party in the state With Senators ( Jurrio and llarlan in the United States senate the ID tereslB of both the west and east would bo well represented. The editor of the Sargent Now Era , boasts of drafting the retolu tiona adopted by the auti.fusion conference hold in this city recent ly and suggest that the joint eon ferenoo to bo held on the 10th ol March , should declare for social ism. Bro. Wisely is an ardent sup. porter of socialism and should he bo as successful in the "next con * ference us ho was in the last the socialist party will succeed the pops. If Bro. Wisely can convince that gathering of discontents that the endorsement of socialism will con tinue the promoters at the public crib his theories will bo warmly en dorsed. Let the result ho as it may , Bro. Wisely will bo a socialist still , as we believe ho is a socialist from'Conviction , and that no allure meats in the form of sheriff patron age or official recognition will cause him to change his oourso or advo cate different principles. One of the cardinal principals of the republican party is that the majority should rule. Two years ago when the senatorial contest was on at Lincoln , wo argued that the minority had no right to block the * election of M. L. Ilaywar3 , simply because they could. Wo then favored the election of Ilayward and opposed 1) . E. Thompson be- oauHO wo beliovedhe was not entitled to the place , and farther because thu majority of the republican members of the legislature as well a the public were for Hay ward. Those now receiving the majority are not our preference. But if nuy one candidate has the majority of the republican members for him the minority have no grounds to claim the majority should yield their preference. It is now the duly of the legislature to elect the ono that has the majority , without any re gard as to whom the second man may be , There is no logical reason why both should bo oleoted at the same time. The caucus rule re. garding such a course should bo reoinded and lot there be a fair and open field for all candidates upon their own merits , This week ends the first term of Win. MolCitily. The record made has no parallel since tliu organiza tion of the government. Out of misery hns come happiness. Finan cial distress has been succeeded by business activity and prosperity The millions of idle laborers have been given work at remunerative wages. Instead of a deficit in na- tonal revenues the receipts have been thu largest annually of our national history. Exports of ( Yinerioau goods have increased ; rom a third rate uat.ou in thoosti * nation of foreign powers , wo now auk among the firsl. Our bound aries have extended into the isle of ho sea and unto the orient. Our dlo manufactures have boon put in poration. New industries have tarted and ull oiaases of legitmate lusiuoss is prosperous. All kinds f national currency have been laintained nt par and the Ameri- an dollar in worth ono hundred unls anywhere in the world , For- ign trade has increased , homo cou- umption developed and prioos of 11 farm and factory products im- irovod. With such a record con- rastod with the four years pro- eodiug MoKiuloy's administration ho only wonder is that everybody re not republicans. The People's Advocate , of Ansloy iaa in addition to ila other fallacies unbraced free trade , iu line with , ho rest of the calamity crowd. It charges that a protective tari ft is reaposiblo for the existanco of all trusts and as a result the people are being robbed. In the first place the country as well as every indvid- ial is in better shape under the present protection Hjstom than they were under the proceeding free trade adminstratiou. This being the fact , free trade must have been a greater robber than a protective tariff if. We deny that trusts are the creatures of protective tariff. They oxisl in a free trade country as well as iu the United States. Trusts are the legimato out growth of wioo business operation ! . Mui of means tried to build np business by means of competition and the result was that strife and jealousy would intervene and competition would drive the weaker out of busi ness and the survivor would bo so crippled that he birely succeeded afterwardh. When capital ceased to tight itself and combined its in terests il was enabled to engage in gigantic enterprises for the em ployment of men and machinery seas as to reduce the the price of pro duction and increase the price of labor. Not only has the system of combinations increased wages for the working men , but has increased the demand for laborers. This has increased consumption of the pro ductions of the farm and also in creases the price of tarm products. Instead.of trusts and combinations being the creatures of a protootive system or the republican or any other political party , they are the logimato out growth of individual enterprises and the only mission Iho government has with them is to control them. This the republican party has provided for by enacting - ing national laws restricting their operations to just and logimato busi nesses with the public. It is the systim that destroys confidence , depredates - predates property , closes up factor ies deprives laborers of employ mont. shuts up the avenues of trade , produces financial panics and brings misery and poverty on the people that "robs the poor" and millionaire alike. Plenty of work , good wages and high prices ia not au evidence of the poor being robbed but is an evidence of happiness and prosper * ity and a sure indication tnat the republican party is at the holm. But none are so blind as those who will not see. "Secretary of State Marsh turned into the state treasury last Thurs day $41 10 or 20 per cent of the amount reooivod uuder the marks and brand law.

LINCOLN , Nobr. , Feb. 23 , 1901. Ono thing is being done which is with out precedent and would cause trouble should a nomination bo made in the short caucus. Since the first mooting there has never boon sixty-seven members present. The auti Thompson says that they will agree to the selection of any two loyal republicans. The Thomp son partisans say it must bo Thomp son or nobody- The latter will thus have to boar the responsibility should there bo a failure to oloot. Some absentees are marked pres ent by proxyand their votes are east the same us if they were thore. Tbo proxy business has long ago boon coudemod by republican Con ventions , and not being allowed in joint sessions it would seem to bo much out of place iu a republican caucus. The possibility of au election in joint session on account of absen tees has not boon forgotten , and a forcible reminder of the value of an absentee comes from Deloware , where a member has made affidavit that ho was offered $2,000 to remain away from the session and thus give Addicks a chanoo to bo elected. The olianman of the national committee has sent word that two loyal republicans from Nebraska are desired and dickering with tus. ionists either in the past or in the future will not be tolerated. The national vice chairman has sug gested that outside help bo called in to fettle the mailer , but so far no agreement has boon arrived. The committee appointed to in vestigate the charges that jobs and railroad complimentancs have boon used to influence votes , has not re. porte.d , and so far as anyone knows has held no meeting. When the appointment was made it was not expected that the committee would do anything until after the senators wera elected , when a "whitewash" report would bo the order. The committee to investigate bill factory iu the lobby is also at a stand still- The republican members have spent considerable time getting a satisfactory apportionment bill ready and it is believed a fair one will be put through. There has boon no change in the legislative apportion ment since 1885 , and some of the counties now are very much over represented. If sentiment on the senatorial question is taken into consideration , many of the counties are very much "misrepresented. " The caucus has boon with us an other week , with no results. By a system of trading and borrowiug votes , some of the candidates have gouo up or down a few notobes , but the changes have boon without special significance. The promi nent features of the whole affair is that seventy members agree that none but republicans of unquest ioned loyalty should be considered , and that several members are now determined to hold the caucus to the bargain. ADAM GRAHQKIC Eric Johnson , editor of the Saunders - ders County New Era , wants it un derstood lhat ho has quit boosting candidates into oQioo for the fun of tuo thing. He declares that hence forth and forever , whou he rends his nether garments for a candidate , that candidate will have to put up enough for repairs to the under clothing and a little extra for inci dentals.
