and for the transaction of suh other business as jnay prop The Democrats of Hock county have elected delegates to the state conven tion which is held the 2 th The greatest menace to Democratic success is not found in the republican party but in Democratic dissensions Chairman Holt of Brown county has called the Democrat convention to meet in Ainsworth Saturday the 18th to elect four delegates to attend the State Democratic Contention to be held at Lincoln on April 29th The completion of a 10000 ton job of steel rails for Japan by the Ed gar Thompson Steel Works of Pitts burg is says a large eastern paper an event of extraordinary character in the industrial development of this country It shows that we are at last able to compete with England in the markets of the Orient And all this happens during a Democratic adminis tration The birthday of Thomas Jefferson was fittingly observed in many of the larger cities Mondaj One hundred and fifty three years hare passed since the father of Democracy was born and no name on the American roll of honor shines more brightly than that of Thomas Jefferson no man deserves more honor than he no party has a - sounder basis than that given to ocracy by him Some men allow hero worship to take possession of their souls without fully realizing the fact or knowing the true worth or title of their hero To illustrate At a recent public gather- ing we listened to a fine eulogy on General McKinlev and heard Ma- jor Manderson highly praised The titles had to be used some way or other and as general implies greater honor i than major that titleTTOasy given to jIcKinley WOOL TO SELL Thr imaginative faculties of the calamity howlers are beginning teffiag as is shown by the absurd story that England is importing large numbers of sheep with the view of competing with Australia Argentina Texas Ohio California ilontanaand New Mexico for the control of the American wool market In proof of- this story they say that the British imported last year 10G5 470 sheep of which 308094 were sent from Argentina alone But they fail to state that these sheep were in tended principally for consumption or i that last year the United States ex ported 500171 head of which number 414914 were shipped to Great Britain or that these sheep were sold for over 7 a head invoice price m this market That is quite a contrast to the price at whiclvthey wort sold in Detroit about two years ago 1 per head In ad dition to this last year the United States exported nearly 6000000 pounds of wool While American sheep and wool can freely enter -England and other European countries it is essential that there should be no restoration of the barbarous duties of the McKinlev tariff erly come before it All demoeratia citizens of and nurses under the rules of

Cent Com The Democratic party has always been active in the matterof civil ser vice reform and now another lot of government situations have been put under civil service rules Mr J A Carroll the efficient issue clerk at this place recently received notice that all clerks assistant clerks property and issue clerks store keepers and other clerical positions at Indian agencies have been placed in the classified ser vice and that those now holding the positions named will net be removed by the department except for cause Another order places supervisors of Indian schools day school inspectors assistant teachers industrial teachers assistant matrons civil service law No appointments to the above named positions will be made unless the applicant has passed a satisfactory examination except the applicant be an Indian in which case he may be appointed - without exam ination ftarch 4th a iaw affecting timber rculture entries was approved by the President The law is in substance as follows Be it Enacted That timber culture claimants shall not be required in making final proof to appear at the land office to which proof is to be pre sented or beforean officer with in the county in which the land is sit uated but such claimant may have his or her personal evidence taken by a United States Court Commissioner or Glerk of any court of record The law is in our judgment a good one and will save non resident holders of timber culture entries many hund reds of dollars The testimony of the witnesses will be taken in the same manner as formerly but the testimony of the claimant may be taken before any of the officers named wherever he may happen to be The land office officials here are to -be congratulated on formulating and securing the pas-sage-Of the law The leaders of political parties and menholding public office should at all times be prepared to take a decisive standon one side or 4he other of all public questions When a proposition is new there is some excuse for hesi tancy but when they are approached on the subject of finance we like to hear straightforward answers like the following giveriby Chairman Harrity of the national Democratic committee 1 am in favor of sound money and opposed to the free unlimited and in dependent coinage of silver as pro posed by the tree silver people Furthermore- I believe that those whotfa vor sDundmoney will constitute a ma jority of the next Democratic national convention Compare that answer -with the replies of numerous states men and leaders whose names we will in charity withold The republican leaders find it diffi cult to geta good runningmate for McKinlev This difficulty arises from the fact that they want a first class i marifor second place when they have alhird class man for first place If McRihleyis nominated they will find iit no small task to put a tail on their iiticketthafc is npt larger Sban the head TTrwtnTrttf3niT The Cherry County Independent has been purchased by Bobert Good who has changed the name of the paper to The Valentine Democuat making itihe only paper of any kind in that town which js the -county seat The first isue of the paper reached our ta ble this morning and is bright and newsy If there is anything in a name Mr Good should continue the publica tion of as good a paper as the one just received WymoreDaily Arbor State And they say there is nothing in a name We know from experience that there is We thank the Arbor State for its kind words but cant help ob serving that Dodd must have been looking at the Moon when he said ours is the only paper here We wouldnt say such a harsh thing ot our contem porary The Democratic county convention which meets here Saturday should se lect good sound honest men to attend the state convention men who will represent the county and act according to the will of the people as expressed at the cohventiou regardless of which wing of the party is recognized The j V pIl iS 3 JB cffi -Aw M JBL t -
