llunlies and the Vice-Presidency.
Governor Hughes of New York
has declared that he can not and
will not accept the nomination
for vice-president the
upon re
publican ticket. The governor
has a faculty of saying what lie
means and he usually means what
he says. As far as qualifications
KO , there is no man in the coun
try who is better qualified for
that position than he. It is not
known whether heill even ac
cept a renomination. He will
add much to the strength of the
republican ticlcct in his own state ,
and he has entered upon his work
as governor in a manner which is
very promising for his record as
governor. It is not too much to
say that he thus far has made a
record that has never been ex
celled in his state and the people
will be at a great loss unless they
succeed in re-clectinjr him pov-
ernor for another term.
A timely question is : who will
we have for vice-president ?
May corn sells at 79c. per bush
el at Chicago. It is not yet re
ported whether Mr. Bryan sees
any tendency between corn and
silver to go up and down together
in the markets of the world as he
said of wheat and silvdr in 189C ) .
However , we hear but little from
him nowadays , on these measures
of values.
With Dahlman , Berge. and
Shellenbarger as aspirants for
the democratic nomination for
governor this fall , it would indi
cate that they consider it an honor
to be beaten by Governor Sheldon.
If that is what they want , George
L. Sheldon can administer the
dose and will do it handsomely.
A number of our doctors have
recently declared it to be their
opinion that Harry K. Thaw is
insane ; and that it would be dan
gerous to public safety to have
him go at large. That is the
opinion of the general public and
it is gratifying to learn that some
men in the medical profession are
of the same opinion.
Some man in Nemulia county
is reported as having said that
there will not be one bushel of
apples to the acre in his orchard ,
which consists of many acres.
Old Richardson will have enough
fruit to feed two counties , so Nc-
maha will not need to go hungry.
Who says that our county is not
the best county in the state ?
The report comes from the
state of Washington that the
democrats of that state have split
on the liquor question. This is
surprising , as it is well known
that the democrats of Nebraska
are in clover when it conies to
the liquor question. If you doubt
it , call to mind Mayor Dahlman
of Omaha while at Sioux City.
Bert Taylor , the Minden mur
derer , is reported to be in Okla
homa. Unless he can be cap
tured by the authorities and
brought back to the scene ot his
crime to pay the penalty of the
law , Nebraska will have no ob
jection to his adopting Oklahoma
as nis future home. The fewer
of such characters any state has ,
the more fortunate is the state.
The State Journal is beginning
to show signs of taking a side in
the discussion of the great party
questions. The complaint had
become quite common that the
paper which at one time had been
considered the best and truest
party organ of the state was try
ing to humor both sides. It is
. .
gratifying to the party leaders of
the state to see the Journal show
some evidence of party gumption. I
MONEY is fihvays ready to earn you more
money when given the opportunity.

IF YOU IIAVE a few dollars of idle money
about you , you had better ask us about
the plan.

Common View of the Secretary.
"Mr. Taft seems to have a way
of attending to big affairs with
out bmss band accompaniment.
He has visited Panama , settled
troubles , inspected the work ,
placed a few charges of dynamite
under it where it will do the most
good and now he is homeward
bound , loaded with campaign
speeches and a report for the
president. " St. Louis
( dem ) .
These are the views of a demo
cratic paper and quite similar to
the view of the public generally
regarding the next republican
candidate for president. The
Secretary has been too busy a
man to waste much of his time
making public speeches or criti
cising the party in power. Not
but vcr } ' few men of our times
have shown so great a faculty
for adjusting difficulties as Mr.
Taft. Executive ability is one
of the first requisites of a great
president , and this he has in a
great measure. It takes a great
man to preside over the affairs of
eighty millions of people , but the
Secretary has shown himself
equal to any occasion thus far ,
and we have good reason to feel
perfectly secure concerning the
future , if the presidency falls
into the Secretary's hands , as we
believe it will.
There may be nothing in a
name , but Mrs. Gtmness was a
very proficient hand with a gun ,
or with some death-dealing in
strument. Her record of crime is
so astounding that it seems too
cruel to be human.
