Hi 11 . . 1 II' j fe By F. M. KIMMELL , Official City and County Paperv How verbose the average democratic editor grows over this sumptuary lcgis- * lation nonsense. Oa , the subtle sophistry of the anti- I prohibitionist's position on the economic bearing of the proposed amendment. 'On the temperance question the couutry press best mirrors the senti ment of tho people of Nebraska. The country press reflects their best and truestsentiments in most other respects. However well Representative Meek- ' I or may do his duty by his constituents I in other respects , in voting against the I submission question it cannot.be said I that ho represented even a respectable I minority of the voters of Dundy , Hitch- P cock , Chase and Hayes counties. Bbeidenx Olevel and , JMouday , ap proved tho bill creating the department of agriculture , and within a few min utes after signing tho bill filled the new office by tho appointment of Norman J. a Coleman. Presidept Cleveland isn't a spoilsman , of course , . but'he believes in giving democrats a chance tc draw from the .treasury every cent that it is possi ble" for them to draw. * - - • • Nebraska enjoys the distinction with Kansas and Illinois of being one of the three great broom corn states in America. Among them , it is said , , that they virtually enjoy a monopoly of sup plying all the broom corn needed for manufacturing purposes , being favored by peculiar climatic conditions. This is , of course , most gratifying to our in dustries. But the question arises , if this be so , why is it that the making of ' brooms has not become one of the 2 great manufacturing enterprises .of the state ? With the natural .advantages which Nebraska possesses in Taising broom corn , the state should , be able to supply a great part of the country hot alone with the raw material , but with the manufactured broom. ! The seven dynamite guns for which the secretary of war has just awarded the cdntract , are all to be completed , delivered and mounted ready for ser vice within eight months. This is chiefly to promote the interest of the 5 contractors. They have their defects. Their range is limited to a mile or a mile and a half. They cannot be used for horizontal shell firing , oven at that range , but must be elevated and trusted to drop , their projectiles- , the right distance. Their shells are a long time , in the air compared with those of regu lar guns , and cannot get the penetra- s\ \ tion whi , 3h enables them to do their best work. . Nevertheless , as the . New York ; Times observes , the knowledge that be fore the close of the present year Sandy Hook , Port Schuyler and Fort Warren will each have two fifteen-inch tubes , and Sandy Hook in addition an eight- . inch tube , is enough to justify the ex- \ penditure of the four hundred thousand dollars authorized by congress. : Springtime approaches and every Tvarm , Bunny day makes the farmer think o hauling - his "plow from its winter quarters and prepar ing for the crops of tho summer and fall. _ - Bussew B. Harrison , the general's son , proposes to remain in Montana , and may fig ure as a candidate for senator when that terri- tory is admitted. He is president of the Hele- | . na Journal publishing company , and.the other tv day bought out the plant , good will , etc. , of r the Daily Record , at an expenditure of $9,000. ' f - P. L. Brown , of McCoolc , was in Hastings , < * • Wednesday. Until recently Mr. Brown has been cashier of the First National bank of that ' ' city , but owing to the confined labors had to ' give up the position. Although not active in • ' the Tmnk he remains interested therein and ; : will reside in McCook. Hastings Democrat. i Representative Meeker and W. C.

What itwill be within ayear , when the national census man comes around t Is viewed with no little alarm in that state. t ? The legislature of Nevada , however , proposes ? ' to ask California to .cede three or Sour coun- . . ; ties in order to prevent its decline. Tho prop- _ * - " ositionis certainly unique. But generous as . ; - she is California is too jealous of her patri- , . > mony to yield a single foot. In view , how- . | . ever , of the desperation of the case and the j-t close relationship of the two states , California i. may be induced to lend Nevada a strip of her . * - _ . ; eastern territory long enough to allow the . \ - next census to give Nevada a population of a corporal's guard. .
