Iowa leads all corn states in av
erage yield this year. Nebraska
comes close to Iowa anu is five
points ahead of Kansas in the
average.
Secretary Morton is reported
to have said that he rejoices at the
result of the election in Ohio, be
cause it improves the prospect of
“a fair and square stand-up battle
between the arch representative of
protection and some sturdy demo
crat identified with tariff reform.”
The Tribune does not like to
seem impertinent, but in view of
the fact that with §57,829,000 on
hand above the legal requirement,
the New York banks increased
their loans only §003,000 during
last week, it would like to enquire
if they had heard of the repeal of
the Sherman law?
At Independence, Iowa, John
son, the noted bicyclist, went a
mile, with a flying start, in 1:5G§.
and the same distance from a
standing start in 2:2g. The last
performance stamps Mr. Johuson
as a genuine ;‘cuss on wheels,”
and has caused Nancy Hanks, the
great trotting mare, to crawl into
the darkest corner of the stable.
The American states are already
in a blaze of indignation over the
action of the state department in
dealing with the trouble in Hawaii.
The course of the administration
in holding back the information
until after the election was unques
tionably inspired by a very guilty
knowledge that the country would
not endorse the findings of Presi
dent Cleveland and the political
curio who poses as liis secretary
of state.
Evidence is rolling in entirely
vindicatory to the great and good
work accomplished by the re-elec
tion of Judge Gary. Editor Sam
uels of the Loudon Anarchistic
paper declares that he is a “dirty
man doing dirty work,” and other
able advocates of dynamite bombs
and opera house explosions are
loud in their expressions of disgust
and indignation. With Emma
Goldman on Blackwell’s island,
Governor Altgeld nursing a black
eye in Springfield and the Span
ish bomb throwers awaiting the
garrote in Barcelona, the holy
cause of anarchy does not appear
to be in the most flourishing con
dition at present.
That is a good idea of the man
agers of the Midwinter Fair to
combine with a low rate railroad
ticket to California in admission
to the fair and an excursion ticket
to the Yosemite and the big trees.
It is to be hoped that the railroad
companies which made such a ter
rible mistake and blunder in re
gard to the World’s fair will dis
play business sense and genuine
enterprise this time. A chance to
visit the Pacific, the Midwinter
fair, and a couple of the wonders
of the world, all at once, is some
thing that should strike the broad
and very comprehensive American
mind very favorably.
The tone of Gen. Van Wyck’s
interview on the results of the
election in Nebraska indicates that
it would not be surprising to see
him attempt to break into the next
republican convention held in Otoe
county. He finds that the pops
have wrecked themselves by their
foolishness and that the democrats
are in no better condition. That
leaves the republican party master
of the situation and dispenser of
the offices. There will be no
fatted calf when the general comes
back into the fold, but he can
probably get along without veal
by this time.—State Journal.
The tariff question will be up
for a knock-out this winter, nnd no
general revival of business need be
expected until the people know
just how much industrial institu
tions are going to be disturbed.

The New York Sun says thai
“if Ingalls of Kansas is to be em
ployed as the editor of a paper out
in Omaha, we must condole with
him. The place in which the ex
senator ought to found a great
journal, all his own, is in the city
of Chicago, which is the sensitive
centre of power.” The Sun forgets
that Chicago has several of the
best newspapers published in the
world, and at least half of them
preach the republican faith. In
Omaha it is different. No good
newspapers are published in Oma
ha and the republicans have been
without a representative there for
years.—State Journal.
Metropolitan journalism long
ago discarded the rooster as an
emblem of political victory, but
the late election was too much for
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and
it covered its title page with a
poultry show garnered from the
cast-off copper plate cuts in use
before the war. On the whole this
fuss and feathers is to be depreca
ted. Victory stands for itself and
is made no more emphatic by a
vainglorious display of Plymouth
Rock roosters flapping their wings
and crowing above the prostrate
forms of the enemies of good gov
ernment. Then, again, political
triumphs are too much like the ebb
and flow of the saline ocean, and
the breaker reaching nearest the
heart of the continent has no time
to feel good over it till it has to
double itself up for another effort
to bathe the feet of nature a little
higher up. So the political party
securing a victory to-day should
not become boastful lest the ebbing
tide that is sure to follow swallow
victory in subsequent defeat. Take
down the roosters, be glad and let
it go at that.—State Journal.
An analysis of the vote cast at
the recent state electian is not so
encouraging to the republicans as
would seem to be indicated on the
face of the returns, which elect
Judge Harrison by over 7,000.
Last year the populists carried 41
counties, the republicans 40, and
the democrats 9. This year the
pops carried 57 counties, republi
cans 25, democrats 8. The fact
that Judge Holcomb received con
siderable democratic support prob
ably accounts for this apparent
increase in the populist’s strength.
Their gains were confined to the
smaller counties, where the repub
lican majority was slight at best,
while in the counties of Douglas
and Lancaster the republicans
gained enough to counterbalance
that of the populists in a dozen or
more counties. While there is
little in the returns to dishearten
the leaders of the populists, the
repeated failure to elect a state offi
cer has a tendency to distinegrate
the ranks, and a well-directed cam
paign by the republicans next year
will remove the party as a political
factor in state politics for years to
come, if not for all time.

Mr. Foot has returned from Sherman
county.
Thanksgiving will soon be tiere and
the turkeys are roosting high.
Mr. Crawford and son, William, have
gone over to Danbury to build a house
for Mr. Everist.
Those afflicted with Lagrippe are the
families of r. I. Grundy and Mr. Bram
ble, also Mrs. Boades.
We hear that Mrs. Doll, an old resi
dent of Driftwood, has recently gone to
California to spend the winter and to
enjoy the beauties of that climate.
We see men who hardly know where
the next day's work or the next day's
food is to come from; and it they suc
ceed in securing work for a few days,
as soon as their wages are received
they invest them in the traffic that as
sists in swelling the school fund, and
then cry “hard times." Laddie.
