It has not been the good fortune - tune of the farmers in Custer county to have so large a crop ; and as favorable prices for their I grain and stock for several seasons as this year of 1902. The persons engaged in the various lines of trade have cn- joyed a l beral share of pros- perity. The profe sion l man has not been without a fair share of tJusiness in his line. 'fhe spirit of gratitude has occasion to swell high in the breast of all who are capable of appreciation. Even those whose b.usiness may not have prospered as well as he would hav-e has reason to rejoice becalAse of the high piles of corn that can be seen at nearly every farm house. The nu ber of cattle and hogs being feed by the farmers of Custer county is unusually large. The farmer as a rule has enough grain to' feed his own stock , while a number have purchased cattle from the ranches so as to feed up the surplus. The farm home that i not happy and thankful to the Giver of all good for the bountiful harvest of 1902 is to be pittied. The busy housewife will have no occasion to fret over an enpty larder , if lord of the farm has improved the planting , tending and harvesting in season. Pork and hominy , vegetables and all kinds of garden sauce , make a bill of fare that should make all rejoice. God bless the farmer. How could we live without him : Let U9 all join in giving thanks for what we have and what we enjoy. 'Whether much or little is our portion we all have rensom to be thankful. Give God the praise.

In the clearer after-light , following - lowing the republican state convention - vention , the action of that body ill partically censuring NebraJ- ! raska's U. S. senators for their attidude on the Cuban reciprocity - city measure , seems to have been , at least , a trifle hasty. For years we have been taught that protection - tion to American industries , aud espically infant industries , is a cardinal tenet of republican creed. And the people of this country have , from time to time accepted such teaching and have declared it to be an essent.ial element of successful government. The matter of tariff is , i.n a sense 'a local matter , and in the framing - ing , or make up of a tariff sche. dule that will protect and raise revenue , it is well understood that , each community must make concessions for the good of.the . whole. If ypu take that mighty array of i articles , coprising a tariff schedule - ule , and which spe ks , eloquently - uently of the material greatuess of this countrj' , and compare i1 with Nebraska's products and industries , the conviction force its lf upon you that this stab : has and is making tremendom concession , without anything like acorresponding return. 'We havc 110 coal , no textile materials and products , no lumber and i ! thousand other things that neeC : protection. Yet , we have beet . good republicans and have cheer fully consented that the sistCl states , . possessing such things should have a full measure 0 profection. The only thing WIde do have that has a sumed tlll 1 proportions of a state industry i that of Beet Sugar. It is , indeed an iufant industry and eminent ! ' respectable. Under proper cm ; ditions , given but a tithe of th protection and support afforde other industries in other state ! it will blossom like th rose an become a source of wealth an pride to our peoplc.

Patterson of Colorado , in a recent speach at Lamar , Colo. , laid stress upon the' part the Sugar 'rrust was playing towards the beat sugar industry. He dcmonstrated from the te ti- mony before the 'l'e1ler senate com- mitte that the pleas for justice and sympathy for Cuba were based not even upon imagination , but upon deliberate falshood , > about the condition of the Cuban people , circulated by the sugar trust to manufacture a public entiment to force a demand f or the reduction - tion of the duty on Cubau sugar. The entire public outcry eU behalf - half of Cuba \\'a the result of manufactured : : > entiment that cost the sugar trusst many thousands - ands of dollars. The Scnator showed how beet suga r was ra p- idly g'aining cOntrol , of the sugar marl\et. In 18S ( , there were 1,202- 000 tons of cane sugar produced and but 241,000 tons of beet sugar , while in the .rears 1901 and 19U2 there verc 3,800,000 tons of caue sugar to & ,800,000 tons of beet sugar. Of the world's supply of sugar b& per cent. if ! now made from beets. No ueet sugar pa's tribute to the sugar trust. Every pound of refined sugar consumed In the United States passes throught the hands of the sugar trust. Beet sugar is refined at individual factories , while cane sugar is brought to the United States and passes through the refineries of the trust. This enables the trust to fix the prices of the cane sugar , but the beet sugar is confounding their monopoly. I'or ; every pound of beet sugar the trust can pre- l vent being manufactured , a pound ; . f cane sugar takes its place. . " f thc trust can drive the beet sugar out of existancc , " said Senator Pattersou , "the trust will control every pound of sugar I consumed in the country , and this is what it is trying to accomplish - complish : The deliberate pur. 1 pose of the sugar trust is tc - ultimately secure the free admit.

Jennings in reply to our criticism on Judg-c } wing's ad- dresg was long on worls bllt , le- fidcnt in logic. Hc occupied five COltUI1IHj of space in a futile etTort to hol < ; ter up a forlorn theory. He seems unable to comprelwnd the e1ifferencc tJ twcen the im- mutal laws of God and the power of Goel. "In tht : begining God created the Heavens and the earth. " Gen. 1:1. That was not the work of 'law. I < All tbings were made by him and without him was not anything made. " John 1 :3. : Creation was not in accord "lith any la w but the power of Go . In the creation of all things he made laws by which all things re goverucd. These are "immutable" as far as the creat ure is concernel. 1'he decree was that the created - ed animal , grain alHl fruit should be fruitful amI bring fourth of its kind. 'l'hc law of thc stary farmament are fixed. 'l'he law of gravitation is anoth'er of God's I a ws. 'rhcs laws are "immutable. " It is not in the power of man to change them. But has the laws of Him who created all things and the laws that govern them decreased ? . Man who was given dominion over all of God's creation neyer has and never will be able to change one jot or title of this material or spiritual law. It is true , "Christ came not to destroy but to fulfil" the moral law of God which man had broken. Having fu1f led thl1t law he became the "end of the law tG all who accepts the ! iacrif ce he made in dying in their stead. 'l'he dccree of death for sin wa met in Christ's death. The penalty - alty for sin was a spiritual death , It was to savc us from this deat ! : Christ died and not from the death of the body. Paul says itJ Heb. "It is appointed unto mar once to die. " Christ's mif'sion had nothing t < do with the heLlth ; of man. An ( those who believe and advocatl that it e\'er will be possible fo man to perpctuate this life by an mo e of Ih'ing or by mind sug gestion denies the teaching 0 God. It is within t.he province 1 of man to prescn'c health ane . prolong his days on earth , bu - not to perpetuate lifl' indefinitely 1 But it is 110t within the pO\'ver ; 0 . m < ln ; to heal the sick , raise tIll dead , n store the 1/linel nor tl annul the elrl'ct of natures law il . s the least iota.

It wns the question of Christs dh'inity that was at stake with men and ht' worled miracles through his apostles that the cvidence might be complete. God used similar mean3 before Christ to convince IsrcaJite9 that he was the God of the univcrnc and of their fathers. There were imposters in oldcn times. God permited the astrologers in Pharoah's time to copy afterMoses and Aaron , but it only ardened Pharnah's heart and made the . Egyptians more determined not to. let the children of Isreal go.

But it was not beyond the power of him who had crcated the la w that produced the bu h and the fire. The three Hebrew children that passed through the fire ) ' furnacc had no powlr . ; over the fire , but He who created them had power to pre- sen'c them , It was not a power inherent or' accquirecl no more than was the closing of the mouths of the lions whcn Daniel was cast into their dens. The prescn'ation of the Hehrew chih1ren wa thc suspension of the law of nature by 00(1 for a specific purposl' . ' ! 'he aClUsation of 1\lr. Jenn- ' ing's that Christ was a " 1aw breaker" when he did not apply medicinal remcdies in healing the sick , if the medicinial remedies are ordained of God is little short of blaspheny. It is a conclusion far fetched to say the least. No law of nature is immutable with God , nor would he be ala w hreak.er in the sense implied shoutd it sui his divine purpose to suspend anj" of those laws temporarily or permanently. 'l'he decree of God when he said lithe day ye eat thereof you shall surely dic' ' ' is immutable. So is thc decree , "In Christ shall all men be made alive , " " \Vhosoevcr will . may , come. " Shouhl God change those decrees he would compromise - promise himself. Any law of nature he may suspend ; but man can not and when h claims that power he is making himself , equal with God.

I Had they the Christ power as they claim , why do thcy not raise the dead or open the cycs of the blind or straighten the deformed , ankles or spincs. 'l'he power of ' . . . Christ was unlimited. But when Simon sought to use the power . to make money as some are doing _ " , , , today , they find that their power is limi ted , and in the judgement , if they do not disco\'er their error - ror before will here Peter's denunciation - I nunciation : "Thy money perish I with thee ; because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
