THE NATIONAL TICKET.
Hie Chicago convention is now
jrpart of the nation's history.
The tumult has died away , the
captains and the kings have de
parted. The coliseum , where
MCC the multitude assembled
and waved its preference and its
protest , is large in its emptiness
and strangely silent.
Again has the party that has
written the history of America
far Uie past lifty years made
public its declaration of principles
ciples- The platform adopted
is , ns Republican platforms have
ever been , a plain , easily understood -
stood and positive statement of
jts position on those questions
which.rightly settled make for
the construction ot a greater
people. There is no viewing
with alarm. The platform is
constructive and not destruct
ive. It promises tariff revision
but does not threaten the de
struction of the protective the
ory. It limits the power of the
Federal courts so far as the writ
of injunction is concerned , but
does not destroy nor attempt to
destroy the right of the judiciary
io protect each individual in his
property rights with this drastic
but entirely necessary process.
U reviews the laws passed by
Republican legislatures directed
agajnst the evils and oppressions
< nl great combinations of capital ,
and po'ints to the work of a Republican -
publican administration in the
anforcement of such laws. It
promises additional legislation
along similar lines , but in nc
particular does it threaten the
destruction of property rights
whether in the hands of a mil-
Honaictt or a section hand. It
ipeaks for the nation as a whole
and-not for sections. It lias in
U nothing that appeals to the
transitory in our national affairs
lout ih framed to meet those
things which are enduring in
Jheir nature. The Republican
party has never been an oppor.
iwnist the Democratic part }
'has never been anything else.
The Democratic party has evei

IThe party of opportunist !
In 1600 the people were dis
tressed. Our commercial life
was stagnant. The balance o !
irade was constantly against us
.Labor was idle. The spectre o
poverty and waul was abroad ii

and by the magic of his voic <
aiul personality induced his par
h' to take advantage of the con
ditiou to exploit a theory of fin
once against which all nation
stood and which the history o
ihfnorld had proved fallacious
.But the Republican party wrot

Sdsace and attendant prosperit

Republican party declared its
intention of meeting its respon
sibilities , and today , far on the
other side of the world "Old
Glory" is Hying as a symbol of
opportunity and liberty to the
brown face children of an island
on whose shores beats the lonely
China sea.
The party of opportunist !
The threatened revolutions in
Cuba , the necessity of preserv
ing peace and order in our in
sular possessions made it im
perative that our standing army
be enlarged. Again was the
man from the west able to grasp
an opportunity , and the cry of
militarism with prophecies ol
destinctive evils were raised as
apolitical issue. But the Republican -
publican party assisted Cuba to
raise the Hag ot a new republic
and withdrew the army from her
shores. Comparative order was
hecured in the Philippines and
the necessity of a larger army
was removed. Then the force
was reduced , not , however , at
the sacrifice of national duty.
"The Democratic principle of
yesterday is the obituary of to
day" .
Free silver , Imperialism , Mili
tarism , and the woes that they
wore were transitory issues
of opportunity , which have died
of their inherent falseness , and
today you may not speak of
them to a Democrat without be
ing accused of slander.
From the days of Jefferson
and Hamilton to the day of Taft
and Bryan the Republican party
has been the party of great prin
ciples which tnaUe for the en
during greatness of the nation
the Democratic party has been
the party of opportunist.
President Roosevelt says that
neither party has ever nominated
a candidate so eminently fitted
for the Presidency as is William
U. Taft. This is true. Through
the instrumentality of Roosevelt
Mr. Taft id today the best in
formed man on the Philippines ,
the Panama canal , Cuba , the
war department , the judiciary
and congressional requirements
of any man in the nation. For
several years he was Governor
of the Philippines and Congress
man Champ Clark of Missouri ,
a Democratic leader , said in a
speech in Congress that if every
body would keep his hands ofi
and leave Taft alone the Philip ,
pine situation would be settled
and settled right. The war de
partment under Secretary Tail
is building the Panama canal ,
and twice he has personally gone
over the entire work. It was
his personal presence and mas
terly ability that destroyed tin
incipient revolution in Cuba
He was on the federal bench foi
several years. It seems that al
of his life he has been preparing
and educating himself for tin
position to which he has beei
, f nominated.
Against these qualification
compare or rather contrast thos
n ot Mr. Bryan. While Bryan ha
ie been protesting and advising a
1- so much per speech , Taft ha
1is 'been doing things that hav
10 made him one of America's greal
'o est citizens. In no one thin
id ever intrusted to him has h
3t failed. Never has he been en
ployed for personal advancemen
or profit. Never has his prol
able opponent been employed i
e any other way.
One has been right in every
thing he has ever done.
The other has never done any
thing but talk and has been
wrong in everything he has ever
said.
ABOUT DRAINAGE.
It may be that the proposed
drainage ditch will prevent
overllows in the Nemaha river ,
but the Hoods this spring have
added to the army of people in
this country who will have to
be shown. The floods came
down the valley far to the west
of where the proposed ditch will
start. To say that a narrow
ditch but twelve feet in depth
will carry this great volume of
water a mile and a half wide
seems a pretty strong state
ment , and one that many people
reserve the privilege of doubt
ing. For the past thirty days
the whole valley has been a
drainage ditch that has proved
wholly inadequate to run off the
water , Will a forty foot ditch
prove more successful ?
LANCASTER COUNTY POLI
TICIANS.
There seems to be a number
of alleged republicans in Lin-
oln who are boosting Bryan
stensibly to give their town
reater prominence. The State
ournal , which has grown to be
ibout the most colorless daily
n the west , is apparently very
nuch in sympathy with this
novement. This same outfit is
aying plans to unhorse Senator
Burkett when his term expires ,
ut the great body of republi-
: ans throughout the state will
ee to it that no half baked
"iryanites dictate the republican
nomination for senator or any
Dther office.
In any event let us hope thai
he street corner statesmen ol
1890 will not show up during
he campaign of 190S.

matrons. Mrs. Cain will be in the
city about six weeks and at the

ocal office in fine shape. Miss
Allie Keeling is perfecting her
self in the telephone business tin
: ler Mrs. Cain's instructions , and
when the latter leaves the city she
, vill turn affairs over to Miss
Keeling , who will have charge of
the operators in the local office.
Reducing Prices.
The present hard times in the
effete East has brought forth some
curious etVects , but none more
curious than in Bayoune , N. Y. ,
where the police magistrate , OE
account of the high prices of food
and the scarcity of money , has re
duced his scale of fines.
This sympathetic officer has re
dnced the cost of disorderly con
duct from $5.00 to $2.50. Plait
drunks are on the bargain counter
having been marked down frou
$2.00 to $1.00 , which , as n Nev
York contemporary remarksbringi
them within the reach of the wor
thy poor , as well as of the preda
tory rich.
For some reason not stated , th <
ecorder draws the line at wife
beating. There has been and wil
be no reduction in that line , ant
the penalty for it will be the lis
price , without a discount for cash
This discrimination may seem in
vidious to some , but judges ar
only human after all , and in the !
case , as in that of others , allow
auce must be made for persona
prejudices and the personal equa
tion. Lincoln Star.

One effect of the financial
Hurry of last fall has been to
driye thousands ot foreigners to
seek refuge and employment
across the sea rather than to
join the armies of the unem
ployed on American soil. According -
cording to the records at the
ports of entry in this country ,
but 42,000 foreigners landed in
this country during the menthol
ol May , while 75,000 aliens sailed
for their old homes during the
same month. Since last October
when the panic was first felt ,
550,000 aliens have departed and
but 150,000 landed in the United
States. This tendency among
aliens to return to their homes
across the sea relieved the labor
situation in this country. Had
those who returned home re
mained here there would have
been 500,000 more unemployed
laborers to have been taken care
of during the period of dull times
through which we have passed
in the past six mouths. No
one , of course , imagines that
this tendency will continue for
any protracted period. The re
turn of prosperity and general
activity among the industrial
concerns of this country will oc
casion a swing of the pendulum
in the other direction and we
shall witness larger numbers of
immigrants than emigrants at
our ports of entry. However ,
the immediate situation has been
naterially relieved by the tem
porary return of thousands to
heir old homes.
The trouble in the labor prob-
em in this country is not that
of finding something for the
skilled laborer to do. For these
there is always employment. It
s the unskilled , dollar-a-day
crowd that causes the trouble.
And , for the greater part , the
foreigners coining to this coun
try go to swell the number of
these. During the past six
nonths there has been little do
ing in the extension of railroads
or in the promotion of enter
prises requiring large amounts
of unskilled labor. This has
been due to the inability of promoters
meters to secure funds to con
tinue their operations. As a
result thereof thousands of un
skilled laborers have been forcec
out of employment and must
either remain a charge upon the
people of the United States or
return to their homes across the
sea. When money gets easy
again and bonds can be sold the
railroads will begin again to
improve their tracks and extenc
their lines and there will be
work in large volume lor the
men who labor by the day. ID
the meantime the American la
borer has every reason to rejoice
because of the disposition of the
aliens to return to their homes

EGGS.
The Nebraska Pure Food law
imkes it unlawful to sell bud eggs
ml provides n pennlty of $10 to
i100 for ench offense.
Section 7 , part sixth , defines
oed as adulterated , "if it consist
n whole or in pnrt of n filthy , de-
omposed or putrid nnurml orvege-
able substance unfit for food,1'
nd that means bad eggs.
It is unlawful for the fanner to
ell bad eggs to the merchant.
It is unlawful for the merchant
o sell them to his patrons or to
egg dealers. It is a violation of
he national law to ship them from
one state to another. The law was
jassecl in the interest of hones1
lealing , and it is not honest to sell
) ad eggs for good money. It is
reported that in some cases spoiled
eggs have been taken from the in
cubator and marketed at the gro
cery store when the pnoducer
hought the buyer was too busy to
examine them. It is the duty of
his department to prosecute of-
enders whoever they may be no
natter whether producer or dealer.
Dhe law is trying to protect , not
only the consumer who is entitled
o get honest food for his money ,
nit the honest producer and hon
est dealer who is entitled to have
his dishonest competitors prose
cuted and exposed through pub-
icity.
Nebraska hens are producing
.30,000,000 dozen eggs annually.
These Nebraska eggs are worth
; hree to five cents per dozen less
than the highest market price in
New York , Philadelphia and Bal-
; imore on account of the low grade
they take in these markets by rea
son of the dishonest and careless
mixing of bad eggs with the cood.
Five cents a dozen on 90,000,000
dozen eggs amounts to $ 1,500,000.
By reason of this careless and
dishonest mixing of bad eggs with
good , we lower the value of our
anual output $ -1,500.000.
Does it pay ?
The law is trying to force us ns
n community to bring our product
up to the highest standard for our
own good.
A New Departure.
After considerable agitation
upon the part of those interested
in the settlement of Government
lands in the west , the govern
ment has now designated an en
gineer to show prospective sett ,
lers lands within the Shoshone
Project in Wyoming. This is an
innovation that will be appre
ciated by prospective homeseek-
ers lor the reason that in the
past persons seeking Govern ,
ment lands have as a rule had to
depend upon strangers to show
them the land and point out the
corners , but this is all changed
now. Settlers now going to
Powell , Wyoming , where the
Government Engineers have
their headquarters for the Shoshone
shone Project , have one of the
engineers at their service , who
goes with them personally and
points out the corners and gives
them any inlormation desired.
These lands are all platted into
farm units and the engineer who
did the surveying is the one de
signated to show the lands.
This is certainly a step in the
right direction.
