REMEMBKR tba Hon. T. L. 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.

Populists Without a Party.
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.

Wants $5OOO Damages.
W. N. 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.
