Subscription , $1 a Year in Advance IT was u powerful combination that Senator Thurston and his friends went up agaitibt at Lincoln , this week , but it was a glorious victory for the senator , who is several lively stages from being a dead duck yet. THE Republicans of Nebraska must now bury completely out of sight all personal and factional differences , put on their fighting clothes , fight a good fightand in November victory will perch high on the party's banner. HON. W. S. MOKI.AN of McCook was nominated for congressman by the Re publicans of the 1'ifth district at their convention at Holdrege , this week. The "deacon" is a strong man and a sure winner. Good-bye , Mr. Sutherland , take keer o' yerself. Palisade Press. W. S. MORGAN is not a boy orator. He has grown gray in tne practice of his profession in Southwestern Nebraska , and is recognized as the most able attor ney in this section. His fidelity to a client is unquestioned. His honesty and integrity are beyond reproach. If he is elected to congress he will represent the people of this district as conscientiously as he has served his clients in the prac tice of his profession Beaver City Trib une. IN A report to the adjutant general of the United Stales army , Chaplain Chas. C. Pierce states , as the result of his ex perience , that "the morale of our army has greatly improved in the thirteen years I have been permitted to judge of it by personal contact with its soldiers , and it gives me pleasure to refer to Bishop Potter of New York , who was my guest for six days prior to my de parture from Manila , ami to the surprise manifested by him at the groundlessness of many of the charges and criticisms which had been voiced in America b3" many persons , in connection with this subject. I think he will join me in say ing that our army is composed of men of quite as high a type as the ranks in civil life from which they were recruited , and that they are men worthy of a na tion's honor. " THAT our salts to the orient are rap idly growing is shown by the latest ex port figures of the bureau of statistics. While there has been a continued growth in our exports during the past fiscal year , by far the largest percentage of gain has been in our trade with the orient. To Europe , our exports during the eight months ending with February , increased 5.4 per cent as compared with the corresponding pending months of the preceding fiscal year ; to South America , 8 per cent ; to North America , 13 3 per cent ; to Asia , 38 per cent ; to Oceanica , 51 per cent , or to Asia and Oceanica combined , 44 per cent ; while to Africa there was a slight reduction , owing to the disarrangement of commercial conditions there by reason of hostilities. Taking our exports as a whole , it is found thas the increase dur ing the eight months has been 9 per cent , while the increase to Asia and Oceanica has been 44 per cent. ONE of the most dishonest pretexts upon which the Democracy is attempt ing to get back into power and treat the country to another spell of the dumps , such as it went through during the last Cleveland free trade administration , is that it is necessary to overturn the Ding- ley law and protection in order to over turn the trusts. People should under stand that it is the natural Democratic itching for free trade , and no real abhor rence of the trusls , which makes the Democratic party clamor for the destruc tion of the Dingley law. Democrats everywhere show that they are not afraid of the trusts. They are members of trusts themselves , stuffing their pock ets with trust stock , and engaging as lustily in the business of trust promotion as any Republican. Mr. Havenieyer , who so loudly denounced the tariff as the mother of trusts , is at the head of the most arbitrary and oppressive trust in the country , the great sugar trust , and he always contributes to Democratic campaign funds. But the falsity of his declaration is shown by the fact that England , a purely free trade country , is overrun with trusts ; every country in Europe , no matter what its tariff or whether it has any tariff at all , has its trusts , and usually a good many of them ; and trusts are even formed in Japan. The trust movement is world wide and has no relation whatever to tariffs , a fact known as well to Democratic anti-trust howlers as to anybody under the sun ; but unfortunatelj' with them , a lie well stuck to is better than the truth.

HARMONY IS THE WATCHWORD Thurston Wins His Fight. Dietrich for Governor by Acclamation. The Republicans of Nebraska assem bled in state convention at half past two o'clock , Wednesday afternoon , and in four hours of straightforward work , set tled all of their differences , named a full state ticket , and adjourned amid the best of feeling and with a strong conviction that they had planted the seeds of a de cisive victory. The only conflict of any importance in the selection of came delegates-at- large to the national convention. An effort was made by the opponents of Senator Thurston to send Noiris Brown of Kearney to Philadelphia in his stead. During the balloting on these delegate the interest was tense and the air of the vast hall was surcharged with excite tiieut. When the roll call showed the senator to be safely in the lead his friends gave expression to their joy in a long and loud demonstration. Then the convention settled down to routine business and finished everything in a single industrious and well ordered sit ting. THE TICKET. Delegates-at-large : E. Rosewater , Douglas. John M.
