Briefly at the head of our
editorial columns will be found the
result of the Republican state
convention. It was a great victory
for Tom Majors and a Waterloo
for Ed. Rosewater.
Andrews will again lead the Re
publican hosts in this district and
this time it will be to victory. Two
years ago he achieved a compara
tive victory; this year it will be
positive.—Edgar Post.
Odis esteemed friend Mitchell
has gone over to Populism to im
prove his social and financial con
aition; and our esteemed friend
Bishop has gone over to Republi
canism presumably for similar
reasons. And they are both happy.
If the Democracy is satisfied
with the tariff bill perhaps Repub
licans ought not complain of the
measure. It is the most stupid
political blunder of the past quar
ter century, and practically just
amounts to suicide for Democracy.
We have it under the hat that
Ira Cole of the Culbertson Era is
now living on an exclusive diet of
Populists. They say that that
blood thirsty little Republican ed
itor man devours a full-grown Pop,
hide and hair, at each meal, and
licks his chops for more. The Pop
party is threatened with extermi
nation in this section of the state,
if some scheme is not soon ex
ploited to button up the cavity
in Ira’s countenance, that’s all.
Once more it is Andrews for
congressman from the Fifth dis
trict, and everything indicates that
Andrews will make even a stronger
run than he did two years ago
when McKeighan got such a terri
ble shaking up. But two years of
additional experience with McKei
ghan has taught the people of this
district some lessons and we be
lieve that next November the
people will decide that they have
had enough of political dema
gogues with rheumatic failings.—
Holdrege Citizen.
The Republicans of the Fifth
district nominated W. E. Andrews
for congress by a unanimous vote,
without the formality of a ballot
and roll call of the counties in the
district It was an endorsement
of which any man might be justly
proud, as well as the selection of
a candidate of which any organi
zation might be justly pr®ud. Of
all men in Nebraska who have
ever been nominated for any office,
Mr. Andrews stands out as one of
the ablest, cleanest and best. No
man can say ought of him, either
personally or politically. He is a
Republican because as a student of
civil government and the history
of nations he believes in the doc
trines of the Republican party as
being the best for the good of the
people as a nation, and for each
and every man as an individual.
He will make an earnest, educa
tional campaign, gentlemanly and
dignified, and when the votes are
counted in November the Gazette
firmly believes that the good peo
ple of the Fifth district will have
shown that they have returned to
reason and good sense by electing
him as their congressman. No
apologies will ever have to be made
for Andrews.—Minden Gazette.
THE NEED OF AN ACTIVE AGENT.
Piy t Salary to a Wide Awake Man to Look
After the Town's Interests.
“Everybody’s business is nobody’s
business’ ’ is an old adage that applies
very well to town booming. If every man
is expected to look after the business of
attracting the attention of outside cap
ital to the town, he will he sure to de
pend upon his neighbors to do the work,
with the result that no work will be
done. Business methods are needed to
build up a town the same as in other
enterprises. Every board of trade shonld
have a paid secretary whose business is
to see that the town is well advertised,
and that all inquiries concerning its
advantages are answered promptly,
courteously and intelligently.
Such a secretary may be secured for
a moderate salary, especially if some
bright young man is chosen who has
other business that does not fully engage
his time. In addition to conducting the
ordinary business of the board, the sec
retary will often hit upon very clover
schemes for attracting attention to the
town, and if he is particularly wide
awake he will often, through the me
dium of the ever ready local press, start
paragraphs about the town’s advantages
that will be widely copied and meet the
eyes of many who are looking for a place
to locate. If there are certain industries
the town is fitted for and is particularly
anxious to acquire, the secretary may
by investigating the subject learn where
many of these industries are located
and enter upon a campaign of missiona
ry work by mail that will produce good
results. For example, if the town is in
the vicinity of largo forests of valuable
timber, a pamphlet describing the char
acter of the timber, its cheapness and
the ease with which it may be brought
to the town by wagon or rail will often
materially assist in securing a planing
mill, or a chair factory, or some other
big manufactory that uses vast quanti
ties of natural woods. With the board
of trade’s business in the hands of a
paid employee, building up the place
will he much more of a success than it
will be if the board has no active head
in its endeavor to secure the location of
new industries.
POTENT PRINTERS’ INK.
How It May Be Used to Materially Assist
In Booming the Town.
The Irishman’s motto, “Whiniverye
see a head, hit it!” should be the motto
of every town that is ambitious to grow
in size and importance. One very effect
ive booming club that should be ready
for use the instant the head of a new in
dustry appears is what may be termed
a town boom book, describing in detail
all the natural and artificial advantages
possessed by the town, its schools,
churches, prosperous enterprises and
prominent citizens.
Such a book, finely illustrated and
printed in artistic style, may be issued
at a comparatively trifling expense, and
the inquiring manufacturer who sees it
will be at once impressed with the en
terprise of the town’s citizens, and if
the arguments in the book are prepared
as they should be and are backed with
telling facts the book will be a great
aid in persuading the manufacturer to
locate.
One excellent feature of such a book
is a carefully prepared map of the town,
showing its natural advantages, its im
portance as a railroad center and ship
ping point, and indicating the various
raw materials that may be found near it.
The advantages of the town as a place
of residence should also be dwelt upon,
and every improvement, waterworks,
electric light, street cars; paved streets
and schools—if the town possesses them
—should be exploited. The book should
also contain good pictures of the finest
school buildings, churches, public struc
tures, business blocks, manufactories
and prominent citizens. These pictures
many of the citizens, actuated by public
spirit and a knowledge of the value of
advertising, will be glad to furnish
themselves if they are given an oppor
tunity.
Such a book can be made a typograph
ical work of art by one of the local print
ing houses, and in every instance will
be like bread cast upon the waters, so
far as its effect upon the prosperity of
the town is concerned.
A Guarantee of Good Repute.
There is another merit in advertis
ing apart from its value in giving the
public daily information of what yon
have for sale. It makes yonr name
known to distant people, and although
they may not afterward remember just
what you then advertised, yet when they
come yonr way they will recognize the
name over yonr store as a familiar one.
Though there be a dozen places in your
line of business around and about yon,
they will almost instinctively enter
yours first, for they will feel that they
are not going into a strange place. In a
measure, the constant appearance in the
daily papers of a man’s name and busi
ness is an assurance of reliability and is,
consciously or unconsciously, in the
mind of the reader a guarantee of good
repute. If therefore your advertising is
what it should be, and yon sucoeed in
building up a profitable business, you
cannot put into figures how much a
force of salesmen is worth which brings
to your store such an army of purchas
ers.—Exchange.
The Duty of a Citizen.
The first duty of a citizen is to be a
practical American politician. The peo
ple were responsible for the conditions.
Let the politician be defined honestly,
let the knaves be denounced, and the
politicians who sought for good govern
ment be rewarded. There is too much
decrying of politicians and laying accu
sations against the bosses. The power
was in the people’s hands.—J. Sloat
' Fassett.
Our Beautiful Country.
The splendors of our inland scenery
and the wonders of man’s ingenuity are
sources of American pride. Nowhere is
a country more prolific of the beauties
of nature or the marvels of the engi
neer’s skill than in our glorious republic.
IN THE INTEREST OF BEAUTY.
A Town Should Hove Control of Planting
and Pruning Tree*.
Who is not interested in seeing our
streets lined with rows of beautiful
trees? What a boon their shade 1 Trees
in a town often have a hard time of it
Poor soil and little or no attention do
not conduce to Rtrong and luxuriant
growth. But in many towns and cities
trees are made to flourish, showing that
it is not an impossibility. It is hardly
necessary to say that trees will not
thrive unless they are treated with an
intelligent understanding of their re
quirements. While every property own
er plants a tree or not in front of his
property, as it suits him, and retains full
control of it, chopping off limbs and
otherwise mutilating it as he sees fit,
the aspect of our streets cannot improve.
The town should take entire control
of the planting and pruning of shade
trees, and under the direction of some
person who has knowledge of their re
quirements in time long rows of verdure
will border our thoroughfares.
Mr. Joseph Meehan, in a paper read
before the Pennsylvania Horticultural
society, made some useful suggestions
as to tree planting in towns. He says:
“As to spring or fall planting, it
makes no difference. Unless in locali
ties where the natural soil exists in its
original purity it is better to dig out a
moderate cartload of soil and fill in
with fresh, good earth. Rank manure
should not be used at all, but that a
year or more old, well decayed, may be
mixed with the soil moderately, but
good planters think it better that it be
not in direct contact with the roots, so
unmixed earth is first thrown in to cov
er the roots.
"It is well known good practice to do
some pruning before planting. Jnst
how much is determined by examining
the roots. All trees lose more or less
roots in digging. If but few are lost,
but little pruning of the top is called
for; if many are, a good deal of the top
must come away. Nonattention to this
is the cause of the loss of thousands of
trees. Numerous branches make more
mouths than the roots can supply, and
the trees die. Do not be afraid of a
good pruning of the top. There is an
other reason for pruning at planting.
The trees may be unshapely, the branch
es too low or the top spindling. Pruning
or cutting away of branches to remedy
these defects aid the roots at the same
time. ”
ARREST PUBLIC ATTENTION.
A Maxim In Business Is That No Man Can
Afford Not to Advertise.
A book entitled “How to Get
Money,” published way back in the
fifties, contains the following on adver
tising:
“Whatever your occupation or calling
may be, if it needs support from the
public, advertise it thoroughly and effi
ciently in some shape or other that will
arrest public attention. I freely confess
that what success I have had in life
may be attributed more to the public
press than to nearly all other causes
combined. There may possibly be occu
pations that do not require advertis
ing, but I cannot well conceive what
they are. Men in business will some
times tell you that they have tried ad
vertising and it did not pay. This is
only when advertising is done sparingly
and grudgingly.
“Homeopathic doses of advertising
will not pay. Perhaps it is like a por
tion of physic—making the patient sick,
but effecting nothing. Administer lib
erally, and the cure will be permanent.
Some say they cannot afford to adver
tise. They mistake. They cannot afford
not to advertise. In this country, where
everybody reads the newspapers, it will
be seen that these are the cheapest and
best media through which persons can
speak to the public where they are to
find their customers. Put on the appear
ance of business, and generally the real
ity will follow.
“The farmer plants his seed, and
while he is sleeping his com and pota
toes are growing. So with advertising.
While you are sleeping or eating or con
versing with one of your customers your
advertisement is being read by hundreds
and thousasnd of persons who never saw
you cr heard of your business and
never would had it not been for your
advertisement appearing in the news
papers.”—Holyoke (Mass.) Free Press.
Stable Nuisance In Cities.
The Ladies’ Health Protective associ
ation is one of the most useful societies
in the city of New York. For eight
years it has concentrated its efforts to
do away with the nuisances of stables
in thickly settled quarters of the city.
Some of these have been abated locally,
compelling them to seek other quarters.
It has also been striving to have the
baling of manure made compulsory.
They have had the matter thoroughly
worked up by experts and are prepared
to show that the pressing and baling of
manure reduces it to one-third its loose
bulk, in which state it can be removed
without filling the air with poisonous
effluvia, and with a great economy of
handling, so that it will be really a sav
ing for the stables to adopt the plan.
They can also prove to the farmer who
buys the manure that it is not injured,
but instead improved for fertilizing uses
by the compression. The society’s me
morial to the legislature is indorsed by
the highest scientific and medical au
thorities.
London’* Model Tenements.
Model tenement houses have paid
well in London. Sir Sydney Waterlow
made the first experiment of the kind
in 1860 when he built at his own ex
pense four blocks in Work street, Fins
bury. The buildings accommodated 80
families, or 400 persons, and such was
their success that in three years, in con
junction wdth several friends, he started
the Improved Industrial Dwellings com
pany, of which he is chairman. That
company has spent over £1,000,000 in
the erection of dwellings on 45 estates
in London. The dividend paid is 5 per
cent, and the average rent of each room
is 50 cents.

Thirty-two Democrats of Wy
andotte, Michigan, met together
last Saturday and decided to join
the Republican party. They have
all heretofore been working Dem
crats. They have issued an ad
dress containing four reasons for
their change of heart. The first
reason is that of general incapacity
on the part of the Democratic
party; the second is that of its
dilatory action on the tariff ques
tion, thereby paralyzing business
interests; the third charge is that
of weakness in foreign affairs, and
especially as regards Hawaii; the
fourth charges that the Democrat
ic party has discarded its time
honored financial policy by placing
itself in the hands of the gold
bugs. It is surely time that peo
ple were getting their eyes open.
The question is whether the peo
ple will continue in power a party
whose conduct of government af
fairs has plunged every communi
ty into a condition of wretchedness
and poverty.
The fact that the name of John
J. Lamborn for representative does
not appear among the nominees
in the Republican ticket carried at
the head of the esteemed and loy
ally Republican Times-Democrat
is doubtless an oversight of the
true blue publisher. The omis
sion will in all probability be
made good in the next issue in
bold-face type. The Times-Dem
ocrat is Republican to the core.
F. M. Rathbun of Furnas coun
ty will lead the Republican cohorts
of the 29th senatorial district to
victory in November.
The Independents have renom
inated L. W. Young, of Furnas
county, for state senator from this
district.
