more demons rated that in a campaign of education money is a far better teach er than reasoning and not hal so mucli energy is required The election returns would indicate that Simon Bolivar Buckner had un up against another Donelson But ibis time he did not intend to win as 7 iie did in the sixties so he is not very much No wonder the republican ticket was defeated For the first time in its history the Omaha Bee supported the entire ticket X wonder John M Thurstons promised majority for Mc Kinley failed to materialize Well ofone thing -we may rest as r suretl and that is John M Thurston will remain a simple senator not eabi i net secretary The republican party will not allow him to resign when it is - an assured fact that his successor v would be a populist or democrat An interesting question for debate 3ust now is How many gold stand- 7 iird democrats voted -for McKinley And after that is settled to your - faction figure this out How will the ieiintUioanpttriyjorrt3aXeTfflUeSS to the supporters of Palmer The editor of the Gordon Journal is xerypssimistic in the last issue of his m paper even though McKinley was elected He says The people you can trust in this world caribe

favoras Orover Gleveland was four McKinley has nothing to nboast of in Illinois was the only real victory won as the balance of the states were almost conceded neforethe election to McKihlev Perhaps McKinley will appoint Robert W Furnas of Brownville sec retary of agriculture to succeed Sterling Morton 2STo better selection could be made and in that way Neb raska will retain her position in the

present eouuty judye of Cherry county F M Waliir whs electedto the otlice of county attorney and in that capacity be wtil serve tlie people for the next two years Judge Wal cott once more demonstrated his abil ity as a vote getter as it is not only generally admitted but is proven by the returns that his election is due to populist and democrat votes aud oa that poinc hangs a tale This paper has been frequently told that it could have elected Thurston if it had heartily supported him as the democratic nominee and while The Demookat modestly hangs its head and blushes becomingly at the implied compliment it is nevertheless willing to admit the truth of the proposition so long as it is not put in a form which would imply that it is responsible for Thurstons defeat Mr Thurston does not can not con scientiously and it is believed will not blame this paper- for any small sins of omission which it may have committed in the campaign Very few journals would iiave done as much for the success of Mr Thurston as diti this paper had they been placed in its position This is a fact admitted by all who are conversant with the par ticulars of the case Xo details will be given unless they are deemed necessary owing to the continued circulation ot the compliment before spoken of the which is intended to hurt the paper The Democrat will never pursue de fensive tactics when it is entitled to the position of aggressor UNUSUAL CAMPAIGN Tve have reached the ud of one of the greatest and most important political battles waged in this country for thirty years There are many things which will cause the campaign to be talKed about for years The most remarkable of them all has been the wonderful physi cal and mental power displayed by the democratic nominee Arid not less notable than these qualities is the spirit of fairness and good will with which the issues upon which he sought elec tion were set before his hearers In this he stands out in striking Ltrast to hisopponent Xo euithet has been considered too strong to hurl at his head He has stood the shafts of ridicule and sarcasm without a mur mur The viie abuse heaped upon him by the majority of the gold standard organs he has not deigned to notice He has goneon in pursuit of his duty JtraveLnftandspwaking bjunight and by day Whenever any charge has been made -against his political good faith he has shown to the wroiia that it was founded on malice not on truth He has confined himself strictly to the consideration of the principles which he represents lie has received ovations of which the greatest hero might feel proud Whatever be the result of the election Bryan will be re membered no less for his oratorical gifts and untiring energy than for bis magnetism and maganimity St Louis iRBpubUc BUSINESS Xow let it boom All the institutions which control business have the re sults exactly suited to their mind for which they contended The banks have put their best foot forward and evidenced their confidence in paying out gold and talking from the start that money is easier ttome of them claim to have loaned money in ad vance discounting the result This should have the immediate effect which has been promised The Penny Press position has been that business wmild improve assoon as the election was over no matter who was elected That it would improve more quickly in McKinleys than Bryans election was certain but we hoped more for per manently improved conditions in the chaogeswhich would follow bimetal ism If this is delayed let us all hope the more from those immediate i Te sults promised Atr any rate let us all to business hopeful of the country and offering no obstacle to a full and fahltrial of what ever methods the party in power may propose If confidence will do -it let us all unite in supplying an over whelming quantity 2tfow4to business Press 1 Thisis the first time the republicans have beeti entirely out of power in tbi3 state since it was organized and the state house will be thoroughly aired now Even republicans the better class axe glad the old ring which has so long controlled affairs in this state is gone never more to return iByen iudefeatYilliam J Bryan is the noblest American of tbem all It is remarked thaf for the next three or four years at least a great many republicans will go around the state of Nebraska with their lips puck ered up as if they had been eating un ripe persimmons they having hung onto the public teat so long it has caused contraction of the facial muscles McKinleys cabinet will becomposed of the following men and none will fail to admit that in each as8 the selection is a wise one Secretary of State Marcus Aurelius Hanna Secretary of the treasury Marcus A Hanna Secretary of the Interior -Marcus Hanua Secretary of War Mark Hanna Attorney General M A Hanna PostmasterGeneral Hanna Secretary of Agriculture Hanna Secretary of the Navy Aurel ius nanna Should the republican partyabandon its ultra nrotectionism and takim1 enue reform it might make difficult the task of democratic reorganization But the Ethiopian cannot change his skin and with McKinley as president there is no likelihood of the abandon ment of a policy which has come to be known as McKinley ismi There will be therefore an inevitable renewal of the struggle over the question of nue and an inevitable restoration of The scramble among Nebraska tor neys for the place made vacant ai hv already bpgun Among those named for the place so far re Attorneys Wool worth and Mahoney of Omaha Harwood Ames Sawyer and Watkins of Lincoln Monger of 1 Fremont and Crawford of West Point all of whom are bug democrats Since President Cleveland has the selection it is to be presumed ho will choose a man of his own political stripe and we would suggest the name of A W Crites of this city as being a man who possesses all the political qualifications necessary Judge Crites has a good personal and professional character and is undoubtedly well equipped for the place It is true he is a little out side a charmed circle about one hund red miles in diameter of which Oinitia and Lincoln are the center but that fact ought to militate in his favor rather than against him He has been a resident of this state in active prac tice in all her courts for many years and probably has the largest law prac tice in this section of the state Chadron Signal Recorder BLDE GLASS JMiYIVAL Ilia of

-color-bath-or treatment by associated rays Fash ionablCWomen in New York are taking it up and have turned their boudoirs into blue glass hospitals for the cure of all sorts of ailments Irom a head ache to a case of- typhoid fever It is somewhat paradoxical that one should go to a blue room for relief from the blues but there is doubtless some homeopathic principle underlying- its effects and if is undoubtedly a fact that the treatment has been very t caeious in eases of nervous disorder The sunlight cure is as old as ones and the blue glass remedy was used ten years ago but the combina tion of two kinds of light is entirely new It has been found that a ray from old Sol cannot be taken in bulk as it were with such beneficial effects as when it is divided up into parts and administered in

for man wears has been able to show that certain color rays are more efiicacious in killing germs than others ire has found that the blue red and orange rays have a pronounced chem ical effect upon organic matter and of these the blue is the most powerful Now there is of course a certain pro portion of blue in every ray of light but if the amount can be increased it is natural to suppose- that- its beneficial effects will be greater For this rea son it was at first believed that an en tirely blue atmosphere spenking lit erallywould be the best destroyer of germs By experiment upon the liv ing body however it was found that 1he undiluted bine was too powerful and finally Dr Bleycr hit upon tticplan of alternating it with streaks of white This treatment was at first used upon patients afflicted with nervous diseases and the effect produced was very bene ficial But owing to its known chem ical effects upon germs Dr Bleyer tried it upon tlie various infectious diseases and with such good results that he proposes with the aid of a stock company which has been formed by several prominent physicians to build a hospital solely for this purpose Washington Star A LONDONS GROWTH STOPPED
