CQKE THEM OFF
There are in Liucoln the of
this glorious commonwealth two corre
spondents lor country papers who for
the good of their respective parlies
should be choked off Tb first of
these is J W Johnson who writes for
the republican papers J ohnson de
votes most of the space al lotted him
to the- most rotten stuff imaginable
Trivial occurrences are m rgnitied ua
til they assume vast prop- ortions and
Over these he fumes and f rets and gets
himself into a fine fury His sarcasm
is wonderful and is aim ed at every
thing populistic Doubt less there is
many times a small foun elation for his
wrath but as a whole hi s productions
are worthless being vatuable neither
for their English nor reliable as to
facts
The correspnndent -for the populist
papers 48 T II Tibbles and he is prob
ably worse than Johnson because the
latter apparently tries to tell the truth
but Tibbies stoops to downright de
ception and hasnt the wit to conceal
the fact asthe following contradictory
remarks f ram one pa ragraph of a re
cent letter oer his signature proves
There is no way or arriving at the
amount of mortgages satisfied except
a man went u each county seat and
spent several days in each county ex
amining the books It would take a
year to do Uie work In the audi t
iOrs ottice there are the annual reports
from the county clerks up -to January
1 giving the amount of mortgages
filecLaad released during last year
Mortgages filed during 1897 On
farm property 2203344719 On city
propertv 444115959 On chattels
f 20i92922S2
And there the record ends Tibbies
evidently failed to find the record of
mortgages released but he says it was
there even ttter asserting there was
no record to fee found His statement
that several days would be required to
search the record is a wilful falsehood
This paper publishes a monthly report
of mortgages led aud released and it
never requires more than ten minutes
to get the figures
Again we say these two men should
be choked off Strangers reading J
W Js letters vrould think our state
officers a lot of who concerned
themselves about nothing but childish
bickerings and quarrels Strangers
-reading T W TVs lotters would sup
pose there was not an honest man in
the state outside the populist party
and after readinglris mortgage records
would conclude that Nebraska is a
good place to stay away from
The Omaha Labor Bulletin after a
brief existence offourteen weeks an
nounces that unless it receives more
substantial support from the retail
dealers it will cease to exist The
-Bulletin from its birth -engaged in an
active crusade against th -Bee Torld
Herald and those enemies of the one
line retailers the department stores
The Bulletin was a 4 page 6 column
paper and carried 8 full columns of
advertising in its last igsse but that
was not enough The Bulletin was
radiCl too radical for its own good
and it falls Thus goes another friend
of labr killed by lack of support from
those vrJiom it befriended

German not Americau sugar The
members of the sugar trust pufiin sep

bid was the same to a fraction of a
cent Whilo the trust was figuringup
the profits it would make on the deal
an insignificant German stepped in
and gobbled the contract It may bo
un American to glory over the fact
that a foreigner should get a govern
ment contract but iu this instance we
