ALL WOMEN
AGREE.
A druggist in Macon , Ga. , says : " I
have sold a large quantity of Mother's
Friend , and have never known an in
stance where it has failed to produce the
good results claimed for' it. All women
agree that it makes labor shorter and less
painful. "
Mother's Friend
is not a chance remedy. Its good effects
are readily experienced by all expectant
mothers who use it. Years ago it passed
the experimental stage. While it always
shortens labor and lessens the pains of
delivery , it is also of the greatest benefit
during the earlier months of pregnancy.
Morning sickness and nervousness are
readily overcome , and the liniment relaxes
the strained muscles , permitting them to
expand without causing distress. Mother's
Friend gives great recuperative power to
the mother , and her recovery is.sure and
rapid. Danger from rising and swelled
breasts is done away with completely.
Sold by druggists for $1 a bottle.

Out for McKinley.
Interest Charges Reduced and Uank
Deposits Rapidly Increasing ,
Fusion liugabooH Intended to Divert At
tention From tliu Keal
Omabn , Aug. 20. The outlook for
the re-election of President McKinley
grows brighter each duy. Judged from
the prosperous conditions that exist
everywhere in the United States , and
from the magnificent administration
of affairs during the past four years
his re-election has never been doubted
for a moment. We find , however ,
other forces working , though less pow
erful and less important , than those
above referred to , that are worthy of
notice. In looking over the list of big
guns in the Populistic and Democratic
party we find them one by one drop
ping out of rank and announcing
themselves for McKinley. Noted
among these is the lion. A. M. Steven
son of Denver , Colorado. Mr. Steven
son will be remembered as chairman
of the Colorado-Teller Republican
state committee and one of those who
walked out with Teller from the St
Louis convention in 1896. Ex-Senator
Lee Mantle of Montana is another of
those Silver Republicans who fol
lowed Senator Teller in ' 90. lie , like
Stevenson , announces that not only
will he refuse to support Bryan , but
that he will use every effort to secure
the re-election of President McKinley.
Ex-Senator W. A. Peffer of Kansas ,
one of the most widely known Popu
lists in the United States , has within
the past ten days made positive an
nouncement of his intention to support
McKiuley. Coming nearer home we
find the Hon. J. E. Boyd , Nebraska's
only Democratic governor , announcing
that he will not support Mr. Bryan
this year. Mr. Boyd , however , does
not announce that he will support Mc
Kinley. TV. P. TVappich , one of
the stalwart Democrats of Omaha , an
officer of the late Kansas City conven
tion and a delegate to the late Demo
cratic state convention ; the Hon. E.
TVyman , at the present time a member
of the state legislature from Buffalo
county , are among those prominent in
Nebraska politics who refuse to stand
for Bryan and his fallacies. In his an
nouncement , W. P. TVappich brands
imperialism as a false issue and an
nounces in his discussion of the Philip
pine question that Mr. Bryan has put
the cart before the horse. In speak
ing of this important subject Mr. TVap
pich says : "I am a thorough believer
in the course being pursued by the
present administration as regards the
Philippine islands. I can think of no
other course of procedure for the erec
tion of stable government there. First
of all order must be wrought out of
chaos and the Filipinos forced to re
spect the law. Until this is done a
stable government for them is impossi
ble and independence for them is not
to be considered. After the establish
ment of law and order in the Philip
pines will be the best time to consider
what kind of a government they are
fit for. I think the preaching of Filipino
pine independence is premature. Mr.
Bryan probably knows that he is put
ting the cart ahead of the horse , but
by doing so he is enabled to use the
Filipinos for campaign purposes and
that is all he wants to do. "
Low Itnte of Interest.
Benefits resulting from sound finan
cial legislation promulgated by the au
thorized representatives of the Repub
lican party are beginning to fall into
the hands of the people.
Already the rate of interest on farm
and real estate loans has dropped to
about 5 per cent , which means a sav
ing alone in interest to the debtors of
Nebraska of more than § 1,000,000 per
year.
Four years ago it was difficult to
borrow money on good security at less
than 10 per cent , and very few if any
loans were made at a lower rate than
S per cent. Today money is abundant
at 5 and 5 % per cent. The figures rep
resenting the full amount of the mort
gage indebtedness of Nebraska are not
at hand , so the exact amount thus
saved can not be accurately com
puted. The report of the state labor
commissioner just made public , how
ever , shows that during the first six
months of 1900 farm mortgages were
filed to the amount of $11,472,208 , and
the interest saving in one year on
this sum alone , compared with the rate
sf interest charged four years ago ,
amounts to upwards of $500,000.
The same reports show that there
were 578 less farm mortgages filed in
the first six months of 1900 than in the
5rst six months of 1S99. They further
show that in the first six months of
L900 the farm mortgages filed
imounted to § 11,472,208 , while those
laid off amounted to § 12,747,192 , a dif
ference in favor of the borrower or
lebtor class of § 1,274,984. On town
ind city property there were 247 more
Mortgages paid off during the first half
) f 1900 than during the first half of
: he previous year , and the amount
) aid off exceeded the amount addition-
lily mortgaged by § 1,051,248 , showing
i reduction in mortgaged indebtedness
in town and city property for the first
six months of 1900 of § 1,051,248.
These reports also show , that while
he amount of chattel mortgages filed
! or the first half of 1900 exceeds the
imount filed for the first half of 1S99
by § 1,207,000 , the amount paid off for
the first half of 1900 exceeds-the
amount paid off during the first half of
1899 by more than § 3,000,000.
Other Evidence of I'roHperlty.
Nothing contributes more to evidence
of prosperity in Nebraska than the
figures setting forth the amount of
money deposited in the various banks
of the state.
Today the deposits of the national
banks in Nebraska amount to more
than § 30,000,000. The deposits of the
state banks amount to more than § 25-
000,000 , a net gain in four years of
over 40 per cent. In the last three
months the deposits in the state banks
have increased more than § . ' { ,000,000
or at the rate of more than § 1,000,00 (
per month.
Think of the people of Nebcaska in
creasing their bank deposits at the
rate of more than § 1,000,000 per month
and then talk about calamity !
Nor does this include the deposits in
the national banks , which would per
haps double the amount , or SIIOAV an
increase In the deposits of more than
$2,000,000 per month.
Under such conditions what excuse
have Mr. Bryan's followers to offer for
making a change ?
Bryan's predictions of hard times are
completely shattered by these exhibits.
If the Republican policy has brought
prosperity , which it surely has , how
could an opposite policy , Intended to
upset the Republican policy , bring
other than the reverse ? The Demo
cratic policy is the opposite and it
would bring opposite results it
would mean hard times instead of
prosperity. This problem will admit of :
no other philosophy ; will admit of
no other solution.
This is something for the people of
Nebraska to think about. Lay aside
partisanship for a moment and give
these facts and figures sober and dis
passionate thought. Partisanship is
all right in its place , but when it is so
deeply rooted as to prejudice the-voter
against subserving his best interests
it becomes at once a dangerous men
ace. Prosperity depends upon the
roter he can vote to have it or vote it
away , just as he pleases. Principles
and policies that carry with them a
guaranty of prosperity principles that
have been tested and proven sound-
can not be exchanged for principles
fraught with commercial disaster ,
without that result attending it. "The
wages of sin is death , " and no amount
of false philosophy can change it.
A Board of Control.
Should the Republicans succeed in
electing their candidates for governor
and a majority of the legislature ,
many much needed reforms will be in
augurated at the next session.
One of the most important of these
reforms is the enactment of a law
creating a non-partisan state board of
control , whose duties would be to ex
ercise superintending and managerial
control over all the state institutions.
i
The State Campaign.
The pathway of the fusionists is be
set with many embarrassing obsta
cles. The one hardest to overcome is
the administration of Governor
Poynter. Poyuter has played fast and
loose with the public" institutions and
there are many fusiouists who refuse
to excuse him or condone his offenses ,
even on the ground of partisanship.
The manner in which he has managed
the state institutions is gradually coin
ing to light , and it is a continuous
story of shameful incompetency and
fraud. Nor should Governor Poynter
be permitted to escape righteous retri
bution. He has persisted in interfering
with the management of each institu
tion and he therefore becomes jointly
and directly responsible for the evils
thereof. When it is said that his ad
ministration is distinguished from all
the rest for incompeteucy , discord ,
retrogression and dishonesty , it is say
ing a great deal , and yet it is merely
a dispassionate statement of the facts.
This distinguishment , however , does
not apply to Governor Poynter alone ,
but extends in scope so as to include
the various state departments. Thus
far reports of fraud and incompetency
have been confined to the executive
department , in so.far as that depart
ment was connected with the manage
ment of state institutions. Subse
quent reports , after the state institu
tions have all been reviewed , will deal
with tiie other departments , all of
which will be of keen concern to the
electors of Nebraska , irrespective of
partisanship.
It may be depended upon that the
fusion campaign management will re
sort to every possible scheme to divert
the attention of the voters from the
real issues. They will seek shelter
from attacks on the record of the state
administration behind such false
alarms and bugaboos as "militarism"
find "imperialism. " They know that
they can offer no defense , so far as
Poynter's administration is concerned ,
aor can they hope to achieve success ,
in the face of unexampled prosperity ,
by making an open issue on party
principles. Their guarantee of contin
uous prosperity , in the face of the ter
rible distress and suffering under
Democratic rule will hardly be accept
ed as being in any way substantial ,
ind the only thing they can do is to resort -
sort to some scheme to divert atten-
: ion and lead the voter astray from
: ho real questions involved. It is
lighly improbable , however , that pubic
ic- credulity in Nebraska has
cached that point where everybody
: an be so easily duped. This is a cam-
laigu in which the voters of Nebraska
ire likely to do their own thinking ,
md , assuming this to be true , the bug-
iboos and schemes of wily politicians
ire not likely to prove much of a re
straint to a free and intelligent exer-
: ise of the right of franchise.
