A dispatch to the Bee from Valen
tine states that suitable resolutions
were adopted by ttM republican con
vention Why cerfc Any old thing
is especially suitable for a republican
convention to adopt Chadron News
Up in Dawes county a county com
missioner named Schmidt left the
county and his place was filled by ap
pointment Schmidt however return
ed and signed a statement saying the
appointment was perfectly right and
proper He holds the office however
Schmidt is a republican The man
appointed is not
Republicans claim that we are ex
porting more manufactured goods
than we are importing They claim
that foreigners can make goods ship
them to the U S and sell them
for less money than can local concerns
hence the high tariff Take your
choice of these two alleged facts
Both cannot be true
A special to the World Heraldgives
the names of the delegates to the var
ious populist conventidns Keya
Paha and says the senatorial delegates
were instructed for Mutz The dis
pBtch concludes with the significant
words The representative will go
tcr the democrats This is significant
in as much as it points to a complete
and harmonious fusion of reform
5cswgpgnthftlegialati7e ticket
The American JEcpnomiat of August
12 devoted over three pages of its
valuable space to a labored article on
Blight of Free Tradej Blessings of
Protection by tables of -selected
reports gathered by the Tariff
League seeks to show that the coun
try is fairly running over with pros
perity The tables give reports from
2229 different employers and each
report shows an increase in the num
ber of employes in March 1898 over
March 1895 together with an increase
in wages paid each employe And
the Economist wishes its readers to be
lieve that these repoits exactly repre
sent the conditions in the Union as a
whole To show the falsity of this as
sumption it is only necessary to note
that trom Nebraska 137 reports were
received and from Illinois only 50
from Missouri 206 and only 88- frorif
Massachusetts Washington is credited
with 168 and Ohio with only 86
The article claims that these reports
are a comprehensive industrial cen
sus yet we find that the industrial
centers are but meagerly reported
Does anyone believe for a moment
that Nebraska has more manufactur
ing enterprises thanlllinois Ohio or
Massachusetts How then can these
reports be claimed as a comprehen
sive industrial census The Econo
mists tables look well but they are
not reliable Given time and money
we can get reports from more than
2229 establishments that employed
fewer hands and paid less wages in
March 1898 than they did in March
1895
Figures lie but liars will
figure
Uncle Bob one of Brown coun
tys staunch democrats has the follow
ing letter in last weeks Home Rule
which does away with McKinley
prosperity argument regarding the
good financial condition of this state
I noticed in last weeks Star Journal
that the editor is trying to mislead his
readers He knows he didnt quote
facts when he stated tbat God Al
mighty and the republican party are
making the people happy with full
crops and prosperous times
Now he knows that the God who
rules the destiny of states stood by the
republican party in Nebraska until he
saw that they were bound to steal
all that came into the treasury For
their bad faith He caused the rain to
cease the hot winds to blow and the
drought to fallipon the fair lands of
Nebraska As that did not stop their
plundering Kffsaid I will put you
and thete436 redeemed
soo in 1896 He sent His angel unto
the fusion conventions and they chose
wise and honest men to administer
the affairs of state They were elect
ed and the rains came and the land
blossomed like the rose with bounti
ful crops Schools are prosperous
state warrants at a premium and some
of the republicans have been turned
out of office into the penitentiary
By the good advice of the guardian
angel the fusionists have nominated a
state ticket that is a sure winner and
the fusion candidates in Brown county
are as sure of election as November
comes
The financial planksof the republi
can state platform are fearfully and
wonderfully made
Here is one plank We favor the
payment of our soldiers and sailors in
the same money that is paid the bond
holders
Here is an extract from another
paragraph Our national credit is
restored and every dollar issued by the
government is on a par with gold
If every dollar issoed by the govern
ment is on a par with gold why is not
every dollar issued by the government
as good as gold when it comes to pay
ing the bondholders The men who
drafted that platform knew that our
soldiers and sailors cheerfully accept
any dollar issued by the government
Why then -did not they say We
favor the payment of the bondholders
in thesame money as is paid our sol
diers and sailors World Herald

The Hon W L Greene will deliver
an address in Valentine en the evening

should greet the congressman
Just because we have been having
a season of damp and cold weather
our citizens should not neglect the
agitation of new methods in our water
system It seems to this paper that
an ordinance providing for meters at
all taps establishing a flat rate for

additional charge for each thousand
gallons above that amount would be
about the proper thing Study this

The Fremont Herald commenting
favorably upon Mr Poynters freedom
from corporation control says Mr
Poynter has refused some other things
for instance that 1000 cash offer
from Tom Cook when they tried again
to get him to run for congress on the
Vandevoort ticket a la Divine to de
feat the regular nominee Meiklejohn
slipped through on that kind of a deal
but Hammond was unfortunate in that
Poynter exposed the offer to purchase
He had nothing to gain by saying so
unless it was a fact Aud some good
people get so calloused by politics that
they think this kind of offer is legiti
mate business If Mr Poynter thinks
the use of a railroad pass as an official
is likely to prejudice his judgment he
is right in -not using it
