"WE have had ten month's trade
with Cuba under the reciprocity
treaty completed by President
Harrison. In that period ( ending -
ing June 30 last ) , we have
sold Cuba $16,095,468 worth of
American productsfarm and mauu-
iactured , against only $10,393,271
.sold in the ten months previous to
-the treaty a gain of § 5,702,487 ,
-or over half a million increase a
.month. In the same time OUT
-purchases of noncompeting prod
ucts from Cuba were § 64,374,083 ,
against § 52,539,117 , a gain of
S11,83J,965. These facts prove
that the republican policy of reci
procity is widening the foreign
markets for American products.
FRONTIER COUNTY will present

mill as a candidate for senatorial
honors at the McCook convention
to be held Aug. 17th. Capt. Gam
mill is a representative Nebraska
farmer , having owned and operated
a ranch in this county for twenty
years. He is also a representative
republican who has the courage of
his convictions and the fidelity of

will fight to win. His ability for
conducting a campaign , against
the political anomoly who will be
nominated by the opposition , is
unquestioned. He is a favorite
son of Frontier county and has
been urged by his friends to accept -
- copt the nomination. The conven-
tionwili probably nominate him

THE STANDARD BEARERS.
The republicans of Nebraska
can congratulate themselves as
they separate at the close of their
nominating convention for 1892
that no matter what their personal
preferences were or how much mo
mentary disappointment some of
them may feel , they have selected
a thoroughly respectable , thor
oughly representative and thor
oughly republican ticket. The
contest over some of the offices was
sharp and prolonged , but such
struggles leave no wounds in the
bodies of true republicans. The
ranks are already closed and the
lines are already formed for one of
the liveliest and most aggressive
campaigns the party has ever con
ducted in Nebraska.
It would be hard to find a man
to head the ticket who is better
known to the people of Nebraska
or who has been longer iudentified
with their interests than the Hon.
Lorenzo Crounse , who will be our
next governor. Judge Crouuse
has been a Nebraskan since 1864 ,
when he came here from New
York , the state of his birth and
his home for thirty years. He
had practiced law from 1856 up
to that time except for about three
years , when he was engaged in de
fense of his country as captain of
an artillery company. In Nebras
ka he was elected to the territorial
legislature in 1865 , and helped
frame the state constitution. In
1866 he was elected to the su
preme bench , where ho served six
years , and then Aveut to congress
for two terms. From 1878 to
1882 he was collector of internal
revenue for Nebraska. Last year ,
through the friendship of Secre
tary Foster , a colleague in con
gress , he was appointed assistant
secretary of the treasury. During
Ins entire residence in .Nebraska
he has made his home on his farm
in Washington county , sixteen miles
north of Omaha. He has been
both a farmer and a stock raiser ,
and turning his attention chiefly
to blooded stock , has made it a
successful business. His special
fitness for the high office of gover
nor of Nebraska must be acknowl
edged by all classes of citizens.
His long public service prepares
him for filling the place with
marked distinction.
The nominee for
lieutenant-gov
ernor , Rev. J. G. Tate , is recognized
as one of the most effective orators
in Nebraska. He was born in
Bilston , England , in 1850 , and
came to America after his mar
riage in 1872. After living six
years in New York , he visited in
England and then came to Shel-
tou , Buffalo county , Nebraska ,
where he was pastor of the Pres
byterian church for nearly ten
years. In 1890 he removed to his
present residence at Hastings. In
1886 he was elected grand master
of the Ancient Order of United
Workman , and has received the
same office by acclamation for sev
en successive years. Lately he
has given his entire time to the
service of the order , which has
13,000 members in the state. He
has been active as a campaign
speaker for many years , and in the
last presidential campaign was as
signed by the national committee
to speak in Illinois , Indiana , New
York , Connecticut and New Jersey ,
but was called back to Nebraska
after speaking seven times in Chicago
cage and six times in Indiana. He
is an eloquent orator , and in his
constant movement about the state
has won a host of friends. He is
clean , able , and a credit to the
ticket.
The successor of Hon. T. H.
Bentcn as auditor of state will be
Hon. Eugene Moore , of Norfork ,
one of the most efficient and popu
lar of all the rising young men of
the Third congressional district.
Mr. Moore was born in Dahlonega ,
Iowa , on the 13th of July , 1854.
He was educated in the public
schools of Ottnmwa , and in early
manhood adopted the profession
of teaching. While thus employed
he became a stenographer , removed
to West Point , Nebraska , in 1877
and was appointed court reporter
under Judge E. K. Valentine. He
served as official court reporter un
der Judge Valentine , Judge J. B.
Barnes , Judge J. C. Crawford and
Judge AY. F. Norris. Mr. Moore
is known as a young man of much
native ability and strong character.
He has resided at Plattsmoulh and
West Point and for several years
past has lived at Norfork.
Hon. Joseph S. Bartley , named
for treasurer , came of farmer stock
in Indiana and lived on farms in
that state and Illinois from his

birth in 1858 until 1880 , when he
came to Nebraska and took up a
homestead in Holt county before
the coming of the railroad. He
has paid si good deal of attention
to stock raising. In 1884 he be
gan a banking business at Atkin
son , Holt county , which he has
since conducted. He is proud to
say that in that time he has never
forclosed a mortgage , never sued
a man , nor had a law suit even in
a justice court. He is a man of
brains , manhood and business abil
ity. In his own neighborhood he
has the loyal friendship of the en
tire community regardless of po
litical views. Mr. Bartley has
been a lifelong republican.
The convention rewarded the
faithful public service given by
Secretary of State Allen , Attorney
General Hastings , Land Commis
sioner Humphrey and Superinten
dent Goudy by renominating them
by acclamation for the offices they
now hold. This completed a tick
et that in the opinion of this paper
will command itself to the people
of Nebraska and insure a victory
for the republican cause next No-
reuiber.
MB. GLADSTONE defined the po
sition of the liberal party in par
liament yesterday with great force
and clearness. He set forth the
meaning of the recent election in
England in terms that rendered
perfectly manifest to the govern
ment the supremacy of the Irish
cause. The world has witnessed
few spetacles more thrilling and
impressive than this great states
man standing in the evening of
his life between the oppressed
people of Ireland in their humili
ty and poverty and the poAver of a
mighty monarchy.

GREEN B. KAUM , pension com
missioner , has just issued a report

1891 , to May 31st , 1892 , and other
dates as below :

(576,160. ( This was increased dur
ing the eleven months stated to
856,087 , an increase of 179,927.
This was due largely to the liberal
act of June , 1890 , there being in
that time granted 207,255 origi
nal cases , 71,903 increases and
998 restorations. Ihe average
payment now is 3138.25. Last
year it was 3173.70.
There is still one pension paid
on account of the Revolutionary
war. It is to a widow and was
reissued. She gets now 330 a
month. A single survivor of the
war 1812 gets 330 a month , an
increase of 322. Thirty widows
draw monthly 3336. Army pensions

and more than any other congress

is this foi democratic "economy ? "
