McKINLEY will suit all old line or
straight Republicans and the fact that
lie can't give the password won't hurt
him a little bit. The Republican party
i is larger than any secret order , or it's too
small to elect a president.
i ONE strong , earnest general organiza
I tion will accomplish more for Nebraska
, publishers than a dozen local ones.
I . .
i Stand by the state press association.
I
Strengthen it. Its usefulness has been
but slightly tested as yet. There are
many unexplored possibilities ahead.
THERE is already considerable inter-
est being manifested in the selection of
certain state officers-who are said to
have legacy which they expect to inherit -
herit from their predecessors. The Republicans -
publicans will not take very kindly to
any combines made three or four weeks
in advauce of the next state convention.

The slate makers should take heed of
I
I. the fate of the resolutions presented at
' the Omaha convention.-Grand Island
I' Independent. I
A STRAW showing what Nebraska is
now doing in the matter of stock raising
I is seen in the shipment from Bennington
of fourteen cars of cattle-the largest
I single shipment ever made from that
point. The stock yards people , always
well informed upon the subject , antici-
pate a very large volume of business this
year and they know it is coming. The
, weekly bank clearings tell us what this
means to Omaha and the country mer-
chant already feels the impetus it has
given to trade.-Bee.
.
I THE sooner the Republicans of Nebraska -
I braska adopt the primary election meth
I od of nominating candidates the better
I it will be for the party and the people.
! The primary method gives the people
. '
some show at least and makes it more
difficult for the schemers and wire-pull-
ers to manipulate the politics and name
I their favorites regardless of the wishes
of the people and of the qualifications of
those sought to be advanced in the way
of political preferment. It 'will not
wholly correct the evil , but it will make
such work much more difficult on the
part of the politicians.
ONE of the follies of unthinking im
potent journalism is the gratuitous boom-
ing of candidates. The publisher's space
bears the same relation to his success
that the lawyer's advice and the doctor's
prescriptions do to theirs. It is as staple
an article as the grocer's sugar and coffee
or the dry goodsman's calicoes and ging-
hams. It takes money to buy advice ,
prescriptions , groceries and dry goods.
It should also take money to buy news-
paper space ; and the publisher who per-
sists in this gratuitous nonsense brands
himself as a "ninny" who is unfit in
brains and courage to occupy the sanc-
tum. One of the reasons why the news-
. paper profession occupies a secondary
place to that of law , medicine and the-
elegy is this matter of gratuitous ser-
vice so prodigally rendered everybody.
COLONEL CALVIN J. RESLER , the
handsome winsome , versatile and alto-
gether lovely editor of the Wilsonville
I Review made a heroic effort to say
j something pretty about the slave here-
of , in his last week's issue but failing or
neglecting to furnish the necessary diagram -
I gram the office force is unable to inter-
pret his meaning or purpose and are
j left in the dark as to whether Bole Hero
or Fonso Jr. is doing the heavy editorial
j trick on the Review. Nor does the fact
I
that Bole is well coupled on short legs and
has running through his veins the blood
! of sixteen crosses of the most fashionable -
ble families , nor the further fact that
t Fonso has a mealy nose and is a sure
I ! . prize-winner being "folded" in the full
' w , I of the moon throw any light on the
the perplexing question.
I
ALL sorts of combines will be heard
of from now on among the candidates
for state offices. There will be more or
less wood-sawing done yet no candidate
with horse sense , that all are credited
with having will be foolish enough to
commit political suicide by attempting
to put wheels on the political "band
wagon" so early in the campaign. We
hear of this and that set of men com-
bining-the railroads the old line and
mutual insurance companies and the
,
people against them all. Bnt when the
time conies for making governors and
other state officials , the one thousand
delegates in convention assembled will
have an individuality of their own that
. no man . or set of men can control by arrangements -
rangements made previous to the assem
bling of that convention. This year the
people are doing a great deal of slate
I
I breaking and a slate made in advance
. / of the convention will have to be encom
passed by a strong frame to insure its
I
t remaining intact.-Grand Island Inde

HENRY BOLLN ex-city treasurer of
Omaha has b.en found guilty of embezzling -
bezzling 103000.
IT is to be regretted that such a capa- I
ble man as Aden D. King of Culbertson
should be so handicapped in the source
of his announcement.
THE split in the national Democracy '
has become so serious that it is feared .
the bifurcation will extend right up between - '
tween its ears.
IT is a little early to begin fall house-
cleaning in July , but the Republican
I
party of Nebraska can afford to antici-
pate this unpleasant job at this time by
naming a state treasurer at the coining -
ing convention who will be pledged to
do the work and do it thoroughly. From
all accounts the job is becoming more I
and more imperative each year and next
fall is none too early to commence oper-
ations. Hence the necessity of the peo-
ple naming the next state treasurer and
not the versatile and cunning political
manipulator now so eagerly enterested
in his successor and the manner of the
reception of the legacy thereto attached.
Let us clean up before the other fellows
do it for us. 1 I
NEBRASKA people have lost several
crops af late but it is a consolation that
they have not lost their independence.
They still have spunk enough to assert
their own rights and among Nebraska II I I
Republicans one of 'these rights is to ;
smash political slates when they are not
satisfactory to the masses. Whoever
presumes to be state treasurer must act
along the line of open and fair methods
and an undue anxiety in his interest by
prominent manipulators will make his
nomination doubtful. Whoever pre-
sumes to be governor of this state must
stand before the people and defend his
party on the stump. The masses of the
people demand that the candidate for
governor shall be to some extent at least
a leader in public thought as well as a
good fellow.
IT is stated that the old line insurance
companies have taken the field against
the mutual and fraternal companies and
that they propose if possible to secure
legislation in their interest and against
the latter in the next legislature. The
people of Nebraska must not leave a
stone unturned in their opposition to
this movement of the old line com-
panies. The mutual and fraternal com
panies are about the only medium
through which the poor people can pro-
tect their families in the event of death
-the old line rates are so high as to be
prohibitive to the masses of the people.
This opposition of the old line com-
panies should be promptly and effectively
met by the people , whose interests are
closely bound up in the fraternal socie-
ties. See that your repesentative is on
the side of the people.
