Matbews of Omaha will deliver a Republican speech in McCook , next Friday evening. LABOR is busy is better paid s i d haste to work shorter hours than in any other country on earth. Under ihe Republi can administration of the goveruient , he is today better fed , better housed , better clothed , better educated than any where else on God's green earth and be will be slow to vote for a change. FROM a nation of borrowers we have become a lending nation , and interest rates are cheaper today in the United States than anywhere else on earth. In place of selling bonds in time of peace we are paying bonds in time of war , all of which proves that the claim of na | tional prosperity is based on substantial facts. No OTHER nation on earth supports so few soldiers. Notwithstanding the re ? belliou on Luzon , the ttoubles in China ; and the temporary intervention in Cuba , ! less than one person in every thousand of our population wears a uniform ort carries a gun , a record without parallel in the history of any people , ancient or modern. THEY say that Banker Shallenberger ( though he owns a large slice of the stock of the Alma bank of which he is cashier ) now claims that he is only a e hired man in the bank on a salary. a And , in order to throw a little m < /re dustin - tl in the eyes of the Populist farmers of the tlP district , he has removed his name and title from the bank's advertisement in o the Alma newspaper. What chaff ! SI SIn THE gold Democrats of Maryland , who assisted in electing a Democratic governor P c ernor and legislature in that state , have reorgnized and will do everything in g'fc fc their power to bring about Republican fcai ai success this year. When they rallied to the support of Gov. Smith they announced tini ni nounced that , if the Democratic national niO' O' al convention made the financial ques O'P tion an issue , they would duplicate their tl position of 1896. And they have kept Ic their word. IT is beginning to dawn upon the world and to be more and more appre w ciated by the people that it requires feC more than a bootleg full of type , a feD cheese-box and some molasses or even D the fanciest modern evolution of that archaic type to constitute a newspaper M in any true sense. The real essentials hi are soul and conscience and heart and brains , and the people will do wisely tobi be and well when they definitely discourage the irresponsible fakirs and adventurers that now infest the business , damage its w influence , blackmail and malign , and 11 made of a good thing but a hissing. 11di di IF the write-ups of Roosevelt day that dig' appeared in the Omaha Bee and the Lin g' coln Journal are the best that their trw "staff" men can do , those enterprising w dailies , in the future , had better send aiol out their janitors , office cats , or some ol other artists of equal ability. Such a stupendous , unprecedented event ought to be adequately "done" by stars. The at Bee summed it all up , wittily , thusly : O. The Journal saw a little of the dust and smelled somewhat of the consuming tlw kerosene of the torch-light procession at tlbi a distance , through windows of marvel bi ous magnifying power , but missed the real thing. It is difficult to decide which it was the more disappointing. 500-page tablets for 50. Loar.

The following article from the Hast ings News , Populist , sets forth in pa thetic language the lamentable condition of Populism in the Fifth congressional district. It is worthy a reading and the consideration of every earnest Populist : "Edward Everett 'Hale pathetically and tragically describes the "man with out a country , " but it remains for some lover of his party and its principles to adequately pen the humiliating condi tion of a once great party without nomi nees ; without leaders ; with its time- honored and life-giving principles thrown overboard ; the party helm in the hands of strangers to its principles , who are regardless of its integrity , and but seek Populist votes to carry Demo crats into power. This is the painful state of affairs in the Fifth district of Nebraska 3 , and it calls for no uncertain action on the part of Populists who are opulisls for principle and not Fusionists - ists i for office. The danger and dishonor of fusion has been 1 referred to repeatedly by the real .uiu tried 1 nulifrt papers and leaders of Nebrask ; for the very idea of fusion suggests and carries \vith it the com promising of Teal principles for pelf the sordid emoluments of office is loud- smelling with "deals" and altogether foreign to the fundamental thought of Populism. Here in the Fifth district , the Popu lists , who cast four-fifths of the votes , have been delivered over into the hands 15fi of the Democrats , who muster but one- fifth of the voters of the district. Not fie only were the rank and file of the Popu list party deserted by its leader , but the licl choice of the one-fifth part of the fusion cld deal represents the very fact and article that the Populist party is a protest tla against. And then , to make the dose all the more sickening to Populists , Banker Shalleuberger , the Democratic nominee , selects a railroad attorney and pass-distributer , John Stevens of Hast ings , another Democrat who had the iiCi congressional nomination bee in his bonnet , for his chairman of the con gressional u committee ; a man who is backed , aided and abetted by railroad attorneys and railroad promoters of odorous fame , by men who more than all others in the Fifth district have been instrumental in delivering the Populist party over into the hands of the railroad influence and rendered void all the iie efforts of the people to secure relief in any practical or effective form. How , then , we say , in the face of these indis putable facts can the Populists of the Fifth district hope to have the principles of their party faithfully represented by such a nominee ? Such men have no more real and unselfish interest in the principles of the Populist party than a chicken-eating ! sow has in a brood of goslings. ' They are in the movement for the purpose of securing the offices and dictating the character of legisla tion , and to eventually absorb the party name , as they have the nominations , all over the district , this fall. Either the Populist party will have to throw off this Democratic Jonah , or the ship is lost , and that forever in Nebraska. " EX-SECRETARY OLNEY was the man who advised President Cleveland to use federal troops against the strikers in Chicago during the term of the last Democratic administration. C. A. TOWNE of Minnesota spoke at Minden , today. Four men afoot met him at the depot and escorted him up town afoot. Populist enthusiasm must at alow ebb down in Kearney county. S WHAT did Ex-Secretary Olney doTe when he was attorney general to check the growth of trusts and monopolies ? Nothing. But he made an excuse for doing nothing. He said , when attorney general ' , the trusts could not be con trolled by federal laws , but that they were under the jurisdiction of state laws and must be proceeded against by state officials.

Rogers brought suit yesterday in district court against the B. & M. railroad for $5,000 damages for the killing - ing of a thoroughbred Hereford Bull , Anxiety Monarch , which died as result of injuries received in a wreck on the defendant's road near McCook. The bull was brought to the state fair and took the blue ribbon. It was one of the best animals of its kind in the state of Nebraska and the owner was anxious that no harm should come to it. He paid the freight on the animal coming to Lincoln and then as per agreement with the association , he was to receive his transportation free to the destination from which it was originally consigned. Near McCook a wreck occurred in which the animal was severely injured. It was given the best of care but several days afterward it died. The price of the bull is said to be $5,000 , and this is the sum asked of the road for damages because of its death. State Journal. Name the Victims.

Those who attended the "Roosevelt Day" jroceedings in McCook , Monday , report an ibsolutely ! unprecedented political event for South-Western Nebraska. Such a crowd uch enthusiasm , such a good-natured , order- y , yet noisy gathering , has never been seen n this section of the state since its settle ment. It was an inspiration to all Republi- ans , and a great success even by Populist icknowledgement. The progressive nations of the world are .he : great food consuming nations.
