CHIicial Paper of Cherry Comi

tOO JPer Yeur a Advance
JLlsLlbliKI EVERX THURSDAY
Entered at the Post ofllce at Valentine Cherry
county Nebraska as Second class matter
This paper will be mailed regularly
to its subscribers until a definite order
- to discontinue is received and all ar
rears are paid in full
In 20000 newspapers in the United
States last week appeared thjs item
MVe didnt Dewey thing to Spain
In our opinion T X Gaflin of
Saunders county is the best man yet
named by the populists for governor
When they get it settled we will
know it Some say Manilla is spelled
with two IPs others say with one
The dispute is whether Dewey gave it
1 6r knocked 1 out of it
iwatw j
During the late war between China
and Japan Chinas greatest source of
regret was that she was first to invent
gunpowder and since the opening of
hostilities between the United States
and Spain the latter is bemoaning tiie
fact thdtshe discovered Aiserica
The Fpuith of July committee
should get together and call a meeting
to make preparations for a

t
tion tiiis yeanYLe ge 1a the sur
rounding communities chance last
year so we should be in it this year
Desides everybody feels patriotic just
now and we uould have a rousing cel
ebration with very little effort
We suppose that ere long our Re
publican friends will point with pride
to the amount of revenue raised by the
Dingley law and will forget that con
gress enacted a special war measure
to vaise revenue For two months
our friends figured in the amount re
ceived from the sale of the Pacifir
railroads as a part of the Dingley law
revenue hence the supposition
Senator Mutz has foi the past two
weeks had an article in the Keya Paha
Call relative to the inequality of as
sessments under our laws The Sen
ator shows up the injustice of the
present method but to save our life
we caut find what remedy he pro
poses The law as it stands is all
right what we need is someone to en
force it Attach a penalty for viola
tion of the law and then see that it is
uade operative
Let us all be good Americans in
these trying days all loyal supporters
of President McKinley in his contest
with the Spanish butchers But also
let us remember that we have a duty
to perform here in Nebraska namely
the keeping out of place and power of
that political party which has furnish
ed every thieving state officer since the
admission of the states The party of
tiie Bartleys the Moshers and the
Moores is as blighting to the credit of
our state as are the hot winds to our
corn Lets all pray and work against
the return of either evil to Nebraska
Papillion Times
Tiie Democrat will in the future
charge one half regular rates for pub
lishing resolutions of condolence by
private or semi private organizations
cards of thanks and notices of suppers
entertainments etc where an adrnlu
sfon fee is charged If informed we
will gladly mention the fact that
resolutions have been passed but the
resolutions themselves must be paid
for The card of thanks habit is a
poor one but if anyone wishes to in
dulge in it at half rates we will accom
nfotfate him Frequently we jare called
upon to publish these cards and
resolutions for people who never con
tribute one cent toward the papers
support and we dont believe it is a
fair thitig If it was necessary we
would gladly furnish space free of
charge We make our living to a
Certain extent by selling space What
merchant would think of donating a
yard of satin or a sack of Hour to a
family every time they met with a
bereavement If the family needed
it they would do so very probably
but not otherwise We feel that we
are in the position of the merchant in
tiife matter

I Dissecting Table 1
There are at least theee kinds of iule
men in this town those want to but
tanlt work thobe who dont have to
work- and those who wont work
firat class are to be pitied the -second
envied and the third despised Here
is a fair sample of the latter class
A young man of good address
smart and healthy for several weeks
continually asked a business man in
town to find a job for him The bus
iness man was on to the fellow -so
madeno effort At last however an
opportunity offered to test the willing
ness of the applicant for a job A
gentleman wished a hole dug in the
ground a small job but good pay The
two were brought together but the
fellow refused the job yet he is we
are told on good authority living off
the proceeds of his wifes work and is
deeply in debt To see him on the
street one would think him worth a
mint of money but he isnt worth
the powder etc
Its a pity that there i3 no national
legislation for the suppression of such
nuisances on legs especially since it is
out of style to run a fellow out of
town
America is the richest country in
the world but the power of republican
principles is too great to permit pa
triotism to be stilled by the accumula
tion of wealth We are a Christian
people ctnd however individuals may
go wrong are in no danger of the
saturnalia of luxury that pessimists
are accustomed to predict because of
the growth of enormous fortunes The
parallel totli lasHhnrof librae which
so many ttemagngfc writers and speak
ersare fond of drawing is a mere fig
ment of the imagination Anglo- Sax
ons are not Romans who were a race
of people to whom pity and the oiher
finer feelings were unknown and who
besides were without the humanizing
influences of Christs example Louis

The exports of agricultural products
m the eight months since the Dingle
law went into operation are more than
those of any full year duriug the oper
ations of the Wilson law despite the
asseveration of the freetraders that the
high tariff rates of the Dingley law
would destroy our foreign markets foi

Will Bro Burleigh now please ex
plain how much of this fncrease is due
to the famine in India and the gener
al shortage of crops in foreign coun
tries God not the Dingley law is
responsible for most of the increase
and most every intelligent man knows
it yet items lfke the above are con
stantly appearing We even noticed
an item the other day which gave the
Dingley bill credit for the 20 cent ad
vance in wheat last week- and expect
to see one soon which will claim the
Dingley bill sent Spanish 4s down to
29 cents
The latest advices regarding the
war are to the effect that the U S
will send 25000 soldiers to Manila at
once and that Cuba will be invaded
within the next three days
The Spanish fleet has not left the
Old World hence the expected naval
battle oil Porto Rico has failed to
materialize
TheTirst regiment HT S G will
go to Manila and the second to Chich
