The remarks of the Chicago sailoi who arose in meeting Sunday and de nounced the parson for his kid gloved sympathy , while perhaps profane , were ( probably pertinent. The parson was advocating "Bethels" for the lake Bailers who , he said , in the absence of the beneficent institutions , inhabited dives and saloons and low lodging houses. The sailor's side of the case is that more wages not "Bethels" are needed by the toilers of the sea. From a purely non-sectarian , non-partisan point of view there seems to be much reason in the seaman's logic. The .average man , if he had more money , ould secures better accommodations 'tlian are offered by the fourth grade lodging house. There is a great deal of idle and innocuous sympathy wasted on working men and women by the parsons and hysterical people in the upper walks of life. This sympathy is largely given as penance , as a sort of balm lor a guilty conscience. What th-e working man needs is more wages and less sympathy. If the people who build "Bethels" would be just in their dealings with those directly under them ( lie labor problem would be nearer a solution than it is. Before , going into the maelstrom of politics , and casting your first vote , thereby taking a hand in the govern ment , Horatio , it might be well for you to commit to memory the fact that a man may be a democrat , and still have no capital crimes charged against him ; fee may be a prohibitionist and still be innocent of the offence of having rob bed his grandmother or chloroformed his aunt ; he may be a wheel horse of the people's party and not be guilty of hav ing stolen a horse. And likewise a man may be a republican and still be fit to Associate with the best people and oc cupy a pew in a church. You can't afford to condemn a man , Horatio , be cause his political views differ from yours ; there isn't a party that hasn't among its supporters scores of abler and better and more conscientious men than you can ever hope to be. Its all right to blaze away and try to prove that another man's theories are wrong , -but if you attempt to show that the man is a rascal because he maintains those theories , you are not only doing Jiitn a great evil , but you are running a great risk of having your face pounded into an unrecognizable mass. Take things comfortably , Horatio , trust in < Jed and keep your powder dry. And remember above all things that a man who saws wood has more friends than the one that airs his voice on the house tops continually. WALT MASON.

In this dearth of mundane satisfac tion we contract politic alliances with shadows.

We are trying - ing to know a little of the usages of that colony ; to learn the language and the faces we shall meet with there that we may be the less awkward at our first coming among them. We will ingly call a phantom our fellow as knowing we shall soon be of their dark companionship. Therefore we cherish dreams. We try to spell in them the alphabet of the invisible world and think we know already how it shall be with us. Those uncouth shapes which , while we clung to flesh and blood , affrighted us have become familiar. We feel attentuated into their meager essences and have given the hand of half way approach to incorporeal being. We once thought life to be something , but it has unaccountably fallen from us before its time , Therefore we choose to dally with visions. The sun has no purposes of ours to light us to.

This is a good omen ; but it is not surprising that these county exhibi tions should be better than ever , for the farmers , manufacturers and dealers of this state never before had so much to show. Troubles have an unpleasant way of coining in troops. Last week , the youngest child of Widow Mahana of South McCook was quite painfully hurt by being run over by a lumber wagon. On Sunday her second child , while playing around the show cars , had the misfortune to fall and break an arm. For the office of county commissioner of this ( the third ) district the demo cratic nomination is particularity ap propriate. C. J. Ryan is preeminently qualified to discharge the important duties of the position , a position second to none in its vital importance to Mc- Dook business men , whose cries for jetter roads and other needed improve ments in this district go unheeded. 3ur people now have an excellent op- jortunity to secure a commissioner who ives in McCook , is conversant with our needs , and who is willing to delis lis duty fully and freely by all. C. J. 3yan is entitled to a hearty support by ; he tax payers and voters of McCook , and of the entire commissioner district , as all portions of the district will re ceive fair and just attention at his lands. The issue rises above personal and political considerations. It is a msiness proposition , which Mr. Ryan's election will solve to our large advan- House For Safe , .

State Superintendent Gundy is everything in his power to further the success of the Columbus day celebration. He has bent samples of the official pro gramme to school officers and teachers , together with the following circular let ter : To School Officers , Teachers and Pat rons of the Public and Private Schools of Nebraska : In consonance with a joint resolution of the senate and house of representatives of the United States and with proclamations issued by the president of the United States and gov ernor of Nebraska , this department rec ommends to all officers , teachers and patrons of the schools of the state of NcDraska that the children , the patrons and friunds of education and American patriotism be invited to join in a school celebration of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America to be held on the 21st day of October , 189 , in the manner set forth in the circular issued ) y the executive committee appointed > y the department of superintendent of he national educational association of Brooklyn , February 17 , 18 2. This is the first attempt to make the schools of the entire country the centres of local demonstrations all over thcUni- ed States. The event to be celebrated is grandly itted to inspire a noble and an intelli gent patriotism , and the public school , he outgrowth of the American civiliza tion , may properly claim the right to lead this jubilee. While the public school is the pro duct of the American spirit , the perpetu ity and the character of our institutions depend largely upon the training which the schools of the siate give to the citi zens of the state , and so it is peculiarly fitting that in this festival the schools shall lead : so let the schools lead and let all the people follow. The boys and girls may be led to feel that in this celebration they are par takers in the opening ceremonies of the Columbian exposition in progress at the same time in the city of Chicago. I trust that every effort will be made in every community in every school district in the state to stir up the people ple to a realization of the far reaching results of the events to be commemor ated on that day , and that the local press , so ready at all times to do its part in arousing and intensifying every proper sentiment , may be everywhere enlisted. s I am confident that those in charge of the educational interests of the state will be ready to respond to this call as they have uniformly done in response to the recommendations of this depart ment.

Lamborn : My Dear Sir : I understand that my old comrade , E. M. Woods , has been nominated by the re publicans of Red Willow county for the legislature. I hope your county will do itself and Mr. Woods the honor to elect him. I have known Mr. Woods for thirty years or more. He was one of our most enterprising and reliable farmers , and was a soldier who saw hard service for three years in the late war. He was dangerously wounded at Poison Springs , Arkansas , by a shell "rom Shelby's battery. We left him in he hospital at Camden , where he fell into the hands of the enemy and had all of the varied experience that falls to a prisoner of war. The people of Nebraska can hardly realize how much their interests abroad are affected by the constant calamity complaints that are set un bv men who seek office A tf by preaching the gospel of discontent. Comrade Woods has always been one of those men who work for prosperity , instead of exhausting themselves in complaint against all existing things. Give him my kind regards and best wishes when you see him. Yours Truly , JOHN F. LACY. Indianola Courier. The Circus. Walter L. Main's big railroad show exhibited in McCook on Monday after noon and evening to large and appre ciative audiences. The performances were highly meritorious throughout ; the hippodrome especially being worthy of great credit. The circus was quite free of the fakirs which generally in fest such combinations. The men agerie contained a fair assortment of rare and fine specimens. They are sure of a warm reception upon future visits to our city. Every citizen should be a politician in the sense of taking a lively and un prejudiced interest in current issues.

Young's hardware and implement store , and but for the prompt and effectual work of the firemen a considerable conflagration would have doubtless resulted. As it was the building was badly damaged by fire and water , perhaps to the extent of $300 , which is fully covered by insur ance. Mr. Franklin of the Citizens bank is the owner of the building. Mr. Young's loss and damage to stock is small , and that almost all caused bw. water. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Franklin Academy.

The republican rally , last Saturday evening , was a very gratifying success. The opera house was well filled , an unusually large number of ladies dot ting the meeting with their cheerful presence. lion ? . Lorenzo Crounse , T. J. Majors and .1. C. Allen were the speakers of the occasion. Ilnn. .1. C. Allen opened the meeting with the fol lowing felicitous remarks : Mil. CIIAIUMA.V. I.AIHKri A.NII KKNTI.CMCN : It is with pleasure tlitit I meet you hciro this evening. I am no stranger to this audience. Two years aio my republican frionda In itett Willow county honored mo with their support In securing the nomination to the olllee thut I now hold. I will never forget the kindness I have received from the people of McUook nnd iieu mow county , i inn nero : IKUIII tonight n candiduto for re-election. 1 urn hero repre senting what I helievu to lie the grandest political party on the face of this earth. U'e have a platform which represents nearly three and u-half years of 0001101113- . pence and prosperity. We have heen prosperous for these three nnd a half years as we were dur ing the long series of years under republic-tin rule. It was our misfortune , however , two years ago when the hot winds swept across our country , to have spring up in our midst a new party. I have not a word to guy against that , but I have this to pay to the citizens of Ited Willow county , that while a midiake was made two years ago in supporting the candr dates of this new party to lepreeeut tin's county. I do not believe that it will occur igain. for this reason : Wohiive herein this > ortion of Nebraska a beautiful city and ns good n county as there is In the stute. We lave good homes , a good climate and every- liing that anyone needs , and there is no nce'l of Red Willow county sending u representa- ivo to the legislature who will cry poverty , uu-d times and calamity. I am glad that I belong to a party that grows ind increases in number with the prosperity of my country. I am gad ! I do not belong to iipurty that van only thrive on the misfor tune and calamity ol our people. It is u fact that the party was called the farmeis * pirty , nnd I have no doubt that the majority of the founders of thut party were honest and be lieved that thev needed relief and that they would get it through that party. Hut who lire the leaders of the farmers' party today'r Should 11 stranger desire to come into Ne braska and stop at Omaha , he would inquire for the leaders of the farmers' party , ami the first man that he would inquire for would be the national committcenian of that party. This man is a little attorney by the name of Strickler , and I don't suppose he has ever lived on a farm in his lite , and never had any experience whatever of the farm , and is not entitled to hold the important position of such a party , yet lie is the representative ot" the farmers' parly in Nebraska. Now along with him is Paul Vandervoot. It is not nec essary for me to say anything about him , a his actions and demonstrations are pretty well known to us all , and along with him is VanWyck. It ia not necessary to mention this gentleman'sDOliticalcareer. Farmers , its not fair for you to be represented by such u class of political shysters. The republican party have had in their ranks some of the grandest of statesmen , such men as Abraham Lincoln. John A. Logan , Ulysses S. Grant' James A. Oarfleld , nnd many others whom 1 might mention , and we all are proud of the career of such men , and I believe that there is no one here tonight but is proud to think that he belongs to a party which had such grand statesmen. In the place of Strickler , Weaver and Van Wyck we have men like. Keed. McKinley. Dlaine and Benjamin Harrison ( loud ap plause. ) You arc fortunate in having with you to- nijrht the next governor and lieutenant gov ernor of this state ( applause. ) They will dis cuss the great issues that are before our people today better , more forcibly nnd more intelligently than it is possible for me to do. I will simply state my position on the one great subject , the tariff. 1 have this to say. that it is the policy of the republican party that the burden of taxation , as it is neces sary to raise a half billion of dollars to carry on and pay out for the expense of our gov ernment each year , the republican party has held that the foreigner shall share equally with the domestic producer , the burden of taxation. These principles are not sustained , by the democratic and the peoples' party. Thank you , ladies and gentlemen , for your kind attention. Hon. Lorenzo Crounse followed with a lengthy address , full of sturdy repub licanism , dwelling at length upon the question of finance , and touching other issues now before the people. His speech was well received. Hon. T. J. Majors , "the handsome man on the republican ticket , " closed the meeting with one of his character- stic speeches which never fail to arouse enthusiasm. Sutton's band provided stirring music 'or the auspicious affair , which was all n all one of the most satisfactory political gatherings held in this city in rears. This was Mr. Crounse's first visit in this section and the impression nade and left is a most favorable nne. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. 3. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE
