II Congressman Andrews' speech ,
II last Friday evening , was well received
I by the large audience gathered to
j , hear him on the money and tariff
* I questions. He is clear , frank and
* convincing and his hearers were with
1 him in the movement.
- § Few men now stumping in Nebraska -
§ ka have the faculty of simplifying
1 8 and making clear political questions
like our present congressman , Hon.
! W. E. Andrews. He is earnest and
energetic in his study of the problems
I of the day and carries conviction
with his utterances. He is a safe
man to reelect.
The Fifth district congressional
committee met in Hastings , Wdnes-
day , for the purpose of organization
of the "committee and to ascertain
the state of affairs in the various
counties of the district. Practically
the old organization that made the
I successful campaign of 1894 was cong -
g . tinued. Reports from the several
counties indicate that Congressman
Andrews' reelection is
practically cer
tain. Gains are reported in most of
; the counties and few defections. The
district as a whole is in good shape.
Any means of showing eastern people
ple samples of the agricultural pro
ducts of Nebraska this year cannot
fail of bearing rich returns. Every
year there is in states east of us a
large class of men ready to come west
and rent or buy land. They go wher
ever the promise is brightest or in-
j ducements greatest. Nebraska rail
roads will this fall carry sample pro
ducts free to county fairs in Iowa
and Illinois , so the people may see for
j themselves the wonderful fertility of
Nebraska soil and the products there-

I ' The Secretary of State will not be
entirely satisfied , that the legislature
acted wisely in taking from the governor -
# ernor the authority to place the pub
lication of the amendments to be
voted upon at the coming election ,
until the votes are counted in Novem
ber. If he used as much poor judg
ment , exercised such a lack of fair-
I ness and exhibited many cases of
breach of promise , all over the state ,
j as he did in Red Willow county , he
i has some occasion for unrest , or there
! are more poltroons among- Nebraska
j Republican'newspapermen than we
„ , ; believe there are. I

I * J
Under the present state laws it is I J
necessary that all proposed amend
ments to the state constitution should
be published in a paper in each coun
ty for three consecutive months prior
to the flection'at which they should
be voted upon. With each amend
ment the governor's proclamation is
making withal a very
fmblished . This fall twelve such
amendments are to be submitted to
the voters of Nebraska , and the esti
mate cost , judging by former publi
cations , was $90,000. This work of
publications falls under the super
vision of Secretary of State , Joel A.
Piper , and he has demonstrated again
his ability to look after the interests
of the state.
Mr. Piper has devised a new form
for publication which has been de
clared by the legal department as
fully satisfying the law , which prints
the governor's proclamation but once
for the entire twelve amendments.
This changes the estimated cost to
the state from $90,000 to about $23 , -
000 , making a saving of $07,000 in
clear cash.
While it would have been very easy
for Secretary Piper to follow the old
custom and form , and distribute the
extra $07,000 to the newspapers
which had given political aid when
he was a candidate for the present
office , he rightly chose to serve the
state as a whole , and should receive
the hearty endorsement of every cit
izen for his' effort to save the state as
well , even if to his own political dis
advantage. This great common
wealth made no mistake in entrust
ing her business into the hands of
Joel A. Piper , as will be further at
tested at the ballot box in November.
Orleans Progress.
The above laudatory editorial is im
portant if true. The fact however
that the Progress gets the job of
publishing the amendments may have
something to do with the Progress.
Now while our honorable Secretary
of State was working in the interests
of the state at the expense of the Re
publican papers he could easily
have saved the state another $15,000
by letting1 the contract to the lowest
responsible bidder among' Republican
papers. And as the Progress seems
to think it a virtue in the honorable
Secretary to disregard the claims of
the Republican press he could have
let the job to Independent papers and
not cost the state over $5,000 , and he
could have gone still further and
made a better deal with the Kelloggs
and others. On the other hand the
honorable and strictly honest Secre
tary could have published the pro
posed amendments in all the Repub
lican papers in the state for a no
greater sum than he pays one paper
in a county.
It was openly charged in the Re
publican county convention in this
county that Joel A. Piper entered in
to a deal with the McCook A. P. A.
ring a few days before the conven
tion. As this charge was not denied
and as the A. P. A. organs in this
county are publishing the amend
ments , we are certainly justified in
conclusion that the charge was true
and that Piper is a tool of this un-
American , anti-Republican organiza
tion. lndianola Reporter.

" " slim account
The "pick-nick" was on
of rain , Tuesday. Some four or five
Sabbath schools were to have met on
Spring creek , but the inclemency of
the weather kept most of them away.

missed two and split another , then
missed four and split another , then
one and split one and stopped.
Not So Funny After All.
Two little fellows struck a mine of
amusement one day last week and work
ed it for all itwas worth.
Their plan was to stand at the street
corner , and when a pedestrian got in
good range they called out excitedly ,
pointing to the victim's feet :
"Say ! You dropped your footsteps 1"
It was great fun for the boys.
Presently an old lady approached the
corner. She was fat and looked impor
tant. The boys hugged themselves in
sheer delight. This time , to prolong the
enjoyment , they began :
"Say , missus ! 'Sense us , but you
dropped soniethink ! "
"Dear mo ! What ? Such nice little
boys , I'm sure. " And she stopped and
picked up a silver quarter lying directly
before her and sailed on. Philadelphia

Costly Society In the Navy.
A commander in the United States
navy says that the heaviest drain on the
resources of the officers comes from so
cial obligations , especially in foreign
ports. They are invited to dine with a
king , a prince , a governor , and as a rep
resentative of this nation they have to
go. Then in return they must invite the
potentate to dinner with them. They
must decorate the ship brilliantly and
provide a sumptuous "spread" not only
for the king , but for as many ministers
and hangers on as he chooses to bring
with him , and every time this is done
each officer must go down into his
pocket for $25 or more. San Francisco
Chronicle.
Napoleon's Mother.
Napoleon's mother was as much of a
soldier as her great son. On one occa
sion , when he wanted his own way , she
gave him to understand that the first
duty of a soldier was obedience and
that if he wished to be a soldier he
must , first of all things , learn to obey.
He had , to the end of his life , the high
est regard for his mother. At his court
she was styled "Mme. Mere. " Speaking
of the influence of the mother on the
character of the. child , he said , "The
future destiny of the child is always the
work of the mother. "
The Retort Courteous.
The essence of all fine breeding is the
gift of conciliation. A man who pos
sesses every other title to our respect ex
cept that of courtesy is in danger of for
feiting them all. A rude manner ren
ders its owner always liable to affront.
He is never without dignity who avoids
wounding the dignity of others. Lord
Lvtton.
