The I-4cxington Pioneer very I pertinently asks : "Why should ! the Pullman Palace Car Co. , be permitted to sell whiskey , wine and beer in this or any nther county in Nebraska without a license ? Other bootleggers and joint operators are pullcd and luade to pay a fi ne , or Ji veil a jail sentence , or both , and why not the Pullman ? " Will some of our legalizers furnish a solutioll to the query ? The attempt at enforcing a compulsory franchise law on the people in man states is not meeting with favor. It is highly - ly desirable that every man shall be so interested in political conditions - ditions that he will voluntarily cast a ballot , but to attempt to enforce voting by means of penalties - alties will not improve con- di tions. Bryan says he won't be a can. didate for president in the dem" ocratic national' convention if one-third of the del gates are op' posed to him. S111ce secretarv 'raft has loomed up as the favorite of the people all over th ( United States it would look a ! though Col(1ossius ) Bryan ; wanted - ed to find some one to help hill let go. , Some of the anti-jingo fellow ! will be after the scalp of .I UStiCI Harlan , of the Supreme court who rccently-in a speech-stat ed that the United States shoull appropriate $50,000,000 aunuall' for ten years to build up th greatest navy in the world. Tha would undoubtedly do it. A reader of the RHl'UurfICA asks , "whv-in mentioning cer tain weddngs-is it referred 14 as a quiet one. " 'I'here's two rca sons : first , because a lot of hood lums did not appear in the guisl of a charivari party , and , second because a prior love ( hd not rus ! in and mal < : e a scene. . - . Since Georgia voted prohih tion it is claimed that recruits fc the navy were easier to secur tbcrt than anywhere clse in t11 United States.

" Despite the fact that a hu ! increase in the appropriation fl the postoffice department is d manded , there are still the : who insist on I1n additional bu den in the way of a parcels po system.

"Betcher Life" I'ruln th Callawav Ollel/I. 'I'hc Custer County l epublican hits the nail squarc on the head when it suggests thc namc of W , A. George for enc of the delegates to the National I cpublican con. vention to be held at Chicago. 'l'his congressional district is cn-I tiUcd to two delcgates , and there is no one wc would rather sce go asol1cof thclll than W. A. Georgc. Mr. George has , all the ql alifica- tions nccessary , is a loyal republican - can , and there is no othcr man in the district who could represent us at the convention better than him. Lets see that he is sent. The Aldrich Bill. 'l'he objectiolls to the Aldrich bill which leading bankers in Chicago and elsewhere in the west have so forcefully and earnestly - estly advanced servc to emphasize the complexity of our currency problem and the wide differences of expert opinion that prevail with regard to the exact form which the l1nperatively needed financial panic-prevention legislation - lation ought to take in order to meet the conditions , not merely of New York , but of the country at large. It is undeniable that the AId- j rich bill appeared to conform to I . the fcw principles that were ilHli- I : > ated in the currency paragraph . of the president's last mes age. It , was fr med with the idea of sim- 3 'plicity prominently in view , and . in hope of avoiding controvery ! and friction. But a closer study of : : its provisions has led bankerE and ncwspapers of absolute good faith and impartiality to expres grave doubts as to its'efficac , } ' and utility. Evcn in New York : it has been freely criticized b , } ' , those who arc independent of i Wall street. 'l"hese V1.rious criti. _ cisms are dirccted against the proposed tax on the en.tergency : > . _ notes , as well as aga1l1st the $250,000,000 limit and the char. e actcr of the securities suggeste ( ' as their basis. If a comparatively simple anI 'conservati ve' bill arouscs so mucl oppositioll , what , it may be ask ed , will happcn in the event of i comprehensive currency measufl being olTercd by the house com mittee ? But the existence of such pro nounccd ( lilTercnces of opinion or of interest , can surpnse nl legislator who has intellgentl ; : studied the situation , and ertain ly alTords no excuse for inactiol or shirking. No greater dut , - rcsts on the present congrcs x- than that of removing the dal : l ger of another stringency an another panic. 'I'he difficultic that exist must be overcome , th e divergcnces harmonized , as fa : > r as possible. 'I'hcy will not dh e- appear of themselves , and ther se is no other bed ' that can grappl r- with them.

Going back to the I 33 cention of newspaper publicit , 19 Mr. Atkinson demonstrates tht 26 the makers of the constitution ( 204\ \ the United States provided I ( -II . ' . . I" _ 'J u the 'frcclqn ; of t 1C prcg in these words , "Congress shall pas ! } no law abridging th ( ' freedom of t hc pre\t ! ! ' 'rltis , Mr. At1cinson asserts , dcmontltrates that the great mcn who framed thc constitution rcc- ogni ed the nccessity of having thc prcss remain frec and tool < it out of thl. power of cungrcss to curtail its liberty. Congrcs , itsclf , has done little ill violation of the desires of the mcn who cstablished this Jover- mcnt , but numerous postmastcrs gcneral and their assistants have cndeavored to usurp power great- cr than that Pos'ssed ! uy con- g-rcss. 'l'hey have trampled un- dcrloot the rights of publishers an violatcd the constitution of thc United Statcs in their highhanded - handed elTorts to be dictatorial.

Prepnring for a Fierce Fight. A Washington correspondent sees preparations being madc for il bitter internecine struggle and tells about it as follows : "While the attention of thc gcncral puulic is takcn up with thc talk of possible war with Japan and evcryone is foll.owing thc progress of the battlcship suadron ! 'round the Horn , a mighty army is being quietly marshaled h re in Washington and preparations for a bitter internccinc struggle are beinJ { pushed vigorously. And it will be a fierce figh t , cnd- ing only when the agressors are victorious. ' ! 'his is the fight whIch thc advocates ot prohibition - tion are planning to make before congress for the enactment of laws which will shut out the "Dcmon umt from the District of Columbia. If anyone thinks that the matter is purely a local issue they will find themselves vcry much mistaken. For the 110sts of temperance , believing that the time has come when thcy can force such a measure through congrcss , and realizing what an impetus would b ( ' given their cause by thus committing the federal government , are de- tcrmined to make every shot count and wi1lleave no stone un- turt1ed in razing the bulwarks of the liquor interests. Washing. tonians will have very littl : voke in the fight which is to lca\'e the city "wet" r "dry , " for the outcome will very largely dcpend upon the pressure cxerted on the individual members from their home districts and states. No quarter will be given , nOlle askcd ; It will be a figh t to the Ii nish ! " _ . . . . - - - - - - Stock Shipments. G. H. Russom , 1 car hogs to So. Omaha- and 2 cars to St. Joe. J. M.
