THE reaction in favor of opening
the world's fair on Sunday is a
liopeful sign. It would make i
possible for many thousands to see
the big show who would other
wise be debarred.
THE supreme court of Iowa has
affirmed the decision of the couri
below in the celebrated meteoi
case. The decision is that when n ,
meteor falls from heaven on a
man's farm or into his door yard
it is a gift from heaven to the
owner of the land , and no passer
by has a right to dig it up , cart it
off and sell it for a thousand dollars
lars to a bloody scientist.
Pit OF. ANDREWS is winning
golden opinion wherever he goes.
Wherever he goes crow ds gather
to hear him. More they hear and
know him the more the people
believe they should send him to
"Washington .to represent them.
When they seat Prof. Andrews in
the congressional chair western
Nebraska can for once expect to
have a representative there that
will represent them in such a way
that they will be proud. Hol

THE interviews with Secretary
State John C. Allen published
by this paper in relation to the af
fairs of the insane asylum as con
ducted at present have met with
ihe hearty commendation of the
business men of the city. Many
merchants who have had * dealings
vith the asylum management are
.satisfied that the present method
of purchasing supplies is essen
tially vicious and productive of
loss to the state. They earnestly
desire to see the adoption of a
system that will make the mani
pulation of figures by sharp
bidders an impossibility. Jour
nal.
THE Des Moines Leader ,
angered and irritated by the many
Harrison commercial traveling
men's clubs , made a bitter attack
upon the "commercial traveler"
in a recent issue , calling them
"hobos , " "bums , " "paid pimps , "
'blow hards" and other sweet
names. The fact is , there is not
a baud of more sensible , decent
and more intelligent men in the
country than these commeicial
travelers. In this respect they have
made a wonderful improvement in
the past few years. And they are
working and Toting for Harrison
because they are dealing every day
with facts and prices , and repre
sent truly the great business inter
ests of this country which are op
posed to the disastrous financial
and tariff policies of the democratic
platform. Bee. .
REPORTS from various parts of
Nebraska show that the farmers of
this state are giving more atten
tion than ever before to winter
wheat. It has been clearly
demonstrated by recent experience
that this state can produce as
much wheat to the acre as other
states in which this cereal is the
sole dependence of the farmer.
Although corn is acknowledged to
be the king in this state , it is
gratifying to note that wheat , the
greatest staple the world over , can
be produced in Nebraska as easily
as elsewhere. A prominent citi
zen of this state , who has given a
great deal of attention to this sub
ject , says that there is no reason
why Nebraska should not raise
100,000,000 bushels of wheat
yearly instead of the present pro
duct of 18,000,000 bushels. Reports -
ports published from time to time
in this paper show that the wheat
product ranges from twenty-five
tr forty bushels to the acre. In
tins statp us ii others , the princi
ple of ei\ ) | > rotation will sooner or
. ; uer b > : adopted. Dr. Miller says
that i he tc [ > that is paying off
mortgages ih this state today is
wheat , and that there is a vast
amount of land in Nebraska thnt
is particularity adapted to this
cereal. It is gratifying to note
that the "World's fair commission
ers of this state are preparing to
make a great wheat exhibit.
Samples of wheat will be shown
from fields yielding forty bushels
to the acre , and the quality of the
grain will be of the best. ' 'The
state of Nebraska , " says Dr. Mil
ler , "is a garden spot , and there is
no reason why it should not be one
of the richest states in the union. "
Intelligent farming is needed , and
in a few years it will be seen that
the state of Nebraska is by no
means dependent upon her great
corn production. The teachings of
experience will be heeded and the
capabilities of the state will be
developed from year to year in ac
cordance with the development of
diversified agriculture. "There
never was another spot on earth , "
says Dr. Miller , "where God
smiled so generously with sun and
rain as he clo s here , and a man
on one of these farms , if he has
any energy at all , will continue to
grow rich in spite of himself.

THE death of Joseph Ernest
Reuan , which is announced today ,
was brought about , as in the case
of so many distinguished men ,
especially scholars , by the contrac
tion of a cold developing into con
gestion of the lungs. Mr. Eenan
was born in 1823 , and so lacked
but little of having attained his
; hree score and ten years , but his
intellectual vigor had not abated
and he was in the full tide of liter
ary production , working on his
Treat "History of Isreal Before the
Birth of Christ , " of which two
volums have been published.
Renan was born of a devout
'amilyand was intended for the
priesthood ; in fact , he had begun
lis preparation for it , when he
developed beliefs , or perhaps a
ack of belief , which led to his
abandonment of the seminary of
3t. Sulpice as a theological student ,
instead of becoming a minister of
he Christian religion he became
one of the most powerful opponents
along a certain line. It is doubt-
: ul if any other writer in the ranks
of unbelief ever possessed more of
he peculiar learning which is
isually arrayed on the side of
! aith than Kenan possessed. He
vas a great Semitic scholar and
le made himself familiar by per-
onal visitation with all the country
o often spoken of as the "Land of
lie Bible. " His best known book
in this country , the "Life of
Jesus , " exhibits all the charms of
his wonderfulf clear and fascinating
style. The objection to other
writers , that they dealt with their
subject in a coarse and , to the de
vout , in a blasphemous manner ,
did not in the least apply to M.
Reuan , whose chapters were full
of tenderness and reverence. His
private life was most happy , and
to believer and to unbeliever he
was a most interesting personage.
Exchange.
STAND up for Nebraska. The
gentlemen can do this by voting
the republican ticket in November ,
and the ladies can do if by calling
for Kearney cotton in the dry
goods stores and accepting no
other brand. We are all for Ne
braska this year and every other
year. . v * , ,
SOME idea of the advantages of
advertising may be had from the
fact that the train loaded with
Nebraska products , which is now
on its way east , is attracting the
attention of thousands of people in
every town where it stops. It ap
pears that in the little village of
Onedia in Illinois over 400 people
have immigrated to Nebraska
during the past year in consequence
quence of having seen the exhibits
of our advertising train last fall.
In another small Illinois town 879
excursion tickets to Nebraska were
sold during the past year as a
direct result of this form of adver
tising. The plan of running this
year's advertising train over the
same route taken last year is
certainly a wise one , for it wil
confirm and emphasize the favor
able impressions already made up
on the minds of many who contem
plate seeking new homes. They
will see an exhibit much larger
and more diversified than that of
last year , and will be impressed
with the fact that the resources of
this state are only just beginning
to be developed. Large result
may be confidently expected from
this advertising exhibit. Bee.
AN unidentified exchange
C
to this office the following on the
subject of "McKeiglmu. the stale
slanderer : "
In the Republican valley , Mc-
Keighan's district , homeseekers
are coming in by the hundreds ,
into every county and buying up
the farm land at $10 to § 15 per
acre. They are coming from
Iowa , Illinois , Indiana and Wis
consin , against the advertisements
of McKeighan , that his farmer
constituency were on their way to
the poor house. Looking over
his record as an agitator for the
past twelve years can he now
point to any word or utterance of
his that his ; induced any home-
seeker to come to this state ?
Will he now have the audacity to
claim any part of the splendid
progress of his district ? Has he
ever been instrumental in advanc
ing the value of any poor man's
home ? Lei the Republican valley
stand up for Nebraska and re
pudiate McKeighan.
THE veterans carried away from
Washington the most enthusiastic
impressions of the Harrison ad
ministration. First , the presi
dent's touching sentiments in his
letter of acceptance ; next his sad
letter of regret ; then the tender
ness and the noble welcome of the
vice-president all to the co-ordinate
branches of the government ; then
the opening of the White House
without regard to hours , the cor
dial welcome of the president's
commisioncrs of the district , and
their care for so many thousands
in the school-houses ; and , lastly ,
the splendid decorators of the great
executive buildings all these
impressed the truth on the minds
and hearts of the veterans that
this , in a peculiar sense , is a
soldier's administration. And ,
doubtless , to every one of them
came the reflection that the
democrats have nothing absolute
ly nothing with which to
parallel this inestimable element
of Republican strength.
SECRETARY of State John C.
Allen , or "Johnny Allen , " as he
is called by all classes , is making
a quiet , but none the less effective
campaign for republicanism this
year. His personal friends are
numbered by the thousand. They
are scattered all over the state ,
and never lose an opportunity to
say a good word about the
geniality , the honesty and the
conscientiousness of the secretary.
He has made so many firm Mends
by his courtesy and his able and
just management of the office that
his part of the campaign goes
marching on whether he is in his
office hard at work or out among
the people kissing the babies ,

GENERAL DANIEL SICKLES of
New York , a democrat who cannot
support Cleveland , says that in
1888 he stumped his state in be
half of Mr. Cleveland and found
the soldiers almost unanimously
opposed to him. He believes that
the old veterans have not changed
their minds and that they will
keep the pension record of the
democratic candidate in mind
when ihey go to the polls. Mr.
Cleveland has shown that he looks
upon the union veterans with con
tempt and regards the pension
system as a mere system of alms
giving. His pension voters are
full of contemptuous and sarcastic
allusions to the defenders of the
country who were fighting for the
flag while he was paying a substi
tute. Bee.
MRS. LEASE says : ' 'The spirit
of lawlessness evoked and foster
ed by the organized democracy of
the towns and cities of the south
has become so intolerant that it
demands the attention of law-abid
ing , God-fearing people every
where. Free speech and a fail-
count of the ballot are arrogantly
and openly denied. Within the
past few days the southern chivalry
of Georgia in the democratic clubs
of Waycross , Albany and Macon
resorted to mob violence , and in
cited and encouraged by the demo
cratic press of the state indulged
in hoodlumism and vile language
and conduct that would put to
shame the natives of an uncivil
ized community. "
