Paul Repu - lican. Some weeks ago , the reports from \Vashington announced that the Ne raska senators had united in recommending the ap- po lHment of Senator J. R. Van Uuskirk of Alliance , receiver for the Alliance United States Land Ot1 ce to succeed the present in- cum ent. li'ortunatcly for Mr. Dorrington , the President did not act promptly on the senators endorsements. A protest was filcd with the President y Mr. Dorrington's friends , which resulted - sulted in thc rcjection of Sena tor VanBuskirk-with thc pro a i1- ity that 1\11' . Dorrington will e retained. Knowing something of the inside of thc matter , the \ H1.tPUIII.ICAN is still with President - dent Rooscvelt. . . - - - - - - - 'l'he resolutions of the pop state convention advocates legislation - lation reducing the transportation rate on railroads from 3 to 2f cents per mile. If we are not mistaken a few years ago the reform - form forces were going to reducc freight and passenger rates on railroads along with many other reforms. li'inally , on their pledges , they were placed in con- trolof the state. Did thc'reduce rates'l No ! All they did do was to reducc the valuation of roads for taxation and then for. age off thc railroads for free transportation for themselve and friends for all the road would stand.

It is interesting to note the coarse maneu vering of some of thc leading fusionists in their efforts to lind the people to thc political - cal intrigues. An instance to the point is the attitude of Mike Harrington in the fusion state convcntion at Grand Island , and the fusion congressional con- vcntion at Kearney. At Grand Island Harrington at1 lliatcd with I the pop wing of the convention . and got its unanimous endorsement - ment as candidate for governor and a day or more was spent y the populist to get the democrat- wing to drop the name of Smyth , the man they had endorsed and accept their choice , Harrington. It was quite a surprise to us after Harrington's famous prediction two years ago that the democrats would have the entire pop contingent - tingent swollowed. Notwithstanding - standing that he was the ideal candidate for governor on the pop ticket. But the democrats - crats would not yeild and finally oth conventions through the shrewd manipulation of Harrington - ton or someone else agreed on the "lit tle giant , II W. H. Thompson of Grand Island , a life-long democrat - ocrat , one of the leading B. & 1\1. attorneys of the state , as the fellow just to suit. But last week another fusion convention was held at Kearney to nominate a candidate for congress. There the democrat convention nominated - ated Harrington as a democrat , and the pop convention S llivan. Finally the two conventions agreed upon P. II. Barry. 'rhe interesting part of the deal is to lenow how Harrington could e an ideal pop in one convention and the champion democrat in the other. If democrats and pops have ecame synonymous terms thc result seems to indicate - if dicate , ' why play at the game fusion longer. It can e nothing more or less than the practice of deception. Such practice should and , no dou t , will disgust cvery tairminded man when he fully rc- alizes the true situation and it can prove nothing ut a loosing game for oth parties. 'I'he world admires a man that IS true to principle an.d contends for what he elieves is right let him takc what position he may. L'herc has ecn a time whcll : democrats ment one thing and I populism another. The funda. mental principles of the twc differcd as much as the principle of thc rcpublican party diffe1 from either of them today. 'L'hc principles of those parties have . not changed and the question is why do they fuse. Is not it sim. _ ply ecause the Icaders , who sel that the populist party with it ! 1 ( ) to 1 amI sub-trcasury schcme ! has ceased to intcrest thc publici As a matter of fact thcy (1 < lmow that the pop party as < - part ) ' has ceasad to hcye a na tional following and must SOOl - he numbered with thc Gree" acl - and other parties of similar rec ords that out live < \ their da's 0 uscfullness.

Worry null the Wcathcr. Recently a man who had kept account of his worries for a given number of years declared that of the thousand 'of things which had caused him anxiety he could remem er only two that had any su stantial asis , and that these , viewed from ad istance , Well' tri- vial. 'I'his Man voiced a common experience of humanity. Worries - ries are in the vast majority of cases unreal. Yet there are persons - sons who are laden with anxieties regarding the prospects of the weather. Two months ago it seemed perfectly - fectly clear to these persons. that thc drought of a year ago was a out to e repeated , and worked upon the feelings of the 'Western population until days of prayer for rain were set apart y some of the Go\'ernors. 'l'he heavens opened in due I time and the floods came , and these persons were certain that the rains would continuc until the growing crops were washed away. Yet there was a hot period - iod , and it proved to them that we should havc a hot and dry summer , which would e especially - ially trying to those whose con- stitutions' demanded cool and wet summers. By J 1.Ine the north winds egan to low and the early summer took on all the characteristics of a late spring. 'l'hen the same persons were quite certain that we should not . have sunshine and heat enough to ripen the crops and that the "unscasonable" weather would prove calamitous to pcrsons subject - ject to throat and lung trou lcs.

I : President Rooscvelt's Triumph. ( From tbe New York C"mmerclal. ) As the first distinctively Administration - ministration measure to pass oth Houses of Congress during the pr sent session the national irrigation - gation ill is deserving of special attention at this moment. Not that its specific provisIons or its passage present anything new in a matter that has long been under pu lic and leglislative discussion and consideration1t1 this country , ut ecausc Irrigation legislation was one of the comparatively few . things to which President Roosevelt - velt called the especial attention of Congress in his first annual message , and to securc which he has devoted his energies and influence - fluence unceasingly for nearly seven - ven months. His approval of the bill by formally attaching his signature - nature to it-which he will nat- "rally do with becoming prompt- I ; 1 ness-will mark a notable triumph - ! umph for the President ef the United States. I Most of the House leaders in in the party of President Roosevelt - ' I velt were strenuously opposed to . the measure , and fought it vig- ! ' to the very last , but the very significant - nificant vote of 146 to 55 by which it was finally adopted not only emphasizes popular sentiment in support of the measure itself ' ! , s represented in the lower House ' I' of Congress , but rings out into bold relief the political independence - ence of the twenty-sixth President - dent of the United States. An Executive of less marked individ- ' ' individ'I' 'I' uality , or one more inclined to "trim" for party su pport , would i have quietly suffered his wnet , . . \ measure to go do n to def tit.
