remarks that "politicians Avlio can
not discuss questions at issue with
out letting their passions get the
better of their judgment and com
mon sense should be muzzled. "
THE farce is pluyed now for all
it is worth and the curtain had
better be rung down on Mr. Eose-
water's performance without fur
ther delay. He has forfeited all
Ms pledges and discovers himself
a very commonplace little liar , and
that is all that has come of these
mighty attempts to "harmonize"
republicanism and Eosewater in
Nebraska. Now let us harmonize

Judge Cochrun , of McCook , respond-
d , reciting historical data in reference

being icsidents of this progressive state.
Prof.V. . E. Andrews , of Hastings ,
the "entlcm.Jii who received the nomi
nation of this district to congress , is
one of the most scholarly gentlemen
it IIHS been our pleasure to listen to in
a long time. His description of Impe
rial "Rome on the banks of the Tiber ,
and couipaiiscMi of the new city of Im
perial near the Frenchman , was a mastei
niece of word painting. If the people
of the district elect him to congress
they will he represented by a gentle
man of culture and attainments , that
no other district in the state can match.
General Hastings , in his inimitable
manner , expressed his pleasure at being
[ iiesent. He renewed old acquaintances
iiid made many new ones.
Tom Majors , Nebraska's lieutenant
jovernor , was the next speaker , and
whatever community Tom goes inter
) r wheiever he speaks , his stock goes
ip.
Judge Crounse , Nebraska's next gov-
: inor. like the preceding speakers , be
ing limited to a five minute talk , had
not the opportunity to display his
oratorical powers. His appearance and
appropriate remarks , together with his
courteous manner , made a favorable
impression , and many friends.
Hon. A. G. Humphrey of Ouster
county spent his five minutes in giving
a statistical account of the number of
bushels of corn , wheat , oats and other
cereals raised during the year 1891 in
Nebraska showing the amount the state
was enriched thereby , which figures
and statistics , if presented to the farm
ers of our eastern states , would cause
such an increase of immigration here as
would greatly augment our population
and treble the price of our land.
Mr. Bartley and Senator Kountz ,
the last speakers , had little difficulty
in presenting to the people of Chase
county the advantages of the extension
of the B. & M. K. R. into their section.
On the labor saved in hauling thirty or
forty miles to market , a saving on a ton
of coal alone being $3.00. Two weeks
ago before the advent of the road , ev
ery ton of coal cost the consumer $10.-
00. .Now it can be had for $7.00 , and
with encouragement for still further
extension of the road this commodity
may be reduced 33 per cent more.
Ample accommodations were provid
ed by the citizens of Imperial to serve
the thousand and more people present.
After dinner a ball game was witness
ed between Wauneta and Lamar , re
sulting in a victory for Wauneta. The

After reaching McCookat 10 o'clock ,

as their representative , for his assidu
ous care for our comfort on the journey.
