" An eastern exchange very pertinent ly says that "Jf free silver is knocked out out west by the defeat of congress men it must be knocked in by the gain of congressmen in the east. If the ad ministration is endorsed by the gain in the senate it must be condemned by the loss in the house. What do you sayV" The republican legislature , which will elect a United States senator to succeed Allen , could do no better than to elect a man by the name of Judge M. L. 11 ay ward. His splendid run for the office of governor and the able speeches he made did much to elect the present legislature. lie is entitled to the honor and would be a credit to our state as our senator. Ord Quiz. Allen will not be elected senator this year to succeed himself. But he will undoubtedly be a candidate two years from now. Senator Allen is today , by all odds , the foremost populist in the state , and it is not likely that anything will occur during the next two years to lessen his prestige , while his Avork in the senate next winter very possibly mav greatly increase it. The Times is for Allen for 1900 Silver Creek Times. The worst feature of the campaign was the defeat of Senator Allen , that noble giant who for the last five yesrs has stood up in the halls of congress and ably advocated Nebraska and the cause of her people. If there is any blame for Senator Allen's defeat it certainly rests with the mere than 30,000 voters who did not leave their corn fields and other farm work and go to the polls. They were overconfident dent that the state was safe and uo danger from the republican party which had but few years ago nearly robbed the state entirely Lincoln Letter. Captain Fisher , of Chadron : repre sentative elect , is an avowed candidate for the spcakership of the next house. An interview in the World-Herald last Saturday says : 'lie is the only veteran Avho is a candidate for the speakership. It is a good time to find out how we heroes of the Spanish-American Avar stand with the people here at home. " It was suggested that the senatorial question question might enter largely into the contest for the speaker-ship. "In that case , " said the captain , "I am out of it. If the house is going to settle the senatorial matter in choosing its presiding otlicer , then the next speakei Avill not be your humble servant. " ' When told that his name had been mentioned in connection Avith the sena- torship , Captain Fisher laughed Avith infectious good humor as he replied : "Well , that is one thing I am not after. I am not a candidate for the senate. I am a candidate for the speakership because I want it , and I think 1 am en titled to it. " The entire people of Xortliwc.- Ne braska are interested in Capt. Fisher's candidacy , and wish him success , This part of the state certainly deserves the position. The vote on senator from the 14th district was officially canvassed in Ainsworth last week , and the Aote shown to be as follows : CQUNTIE& . REYNOLDS. 3IUTZ.

Had Mut ' home done as Avell by him he would have been elected by a majority of five votes. But republicans canuot'boast of any great gains. The vote two yea is ago g.ive Mutz 3G"7S , and Ely 3353 , a total of 7031 as against 5971 this year , a loss this year of 1060. Of these 1060 Mutz had 751 two years ago and Ely 309. Besides this , at least 250 democrats failed to A'ote on senator at all , becjiusc Mutz IMII ou but one ticket' These figures show conclusively that of the home this the ftision- stay-at vote year , - ists last 3 to the republican's 1.

Parties taking outside stock to win ter should take the pains to see that the same is not mortgaged , as a mortgage precedes everything and there is a pos sibility of you losing your feed bill. It is a profitable ruse for irresponsible parties , on the verge of bankruptcy to let their mortgaged cattle out for some farmer to Avinter , as this enables them to speculate six months longer with out even the expanse of feeding , for when spring comes if cattle have went down , and they have lost money they can let the company foreclose and the farmer can whistle for his wintering.-- Springview Herald. A decision of much importance to live stock and live stock commission men has just been made by the Kansas City court of appeals , in a case which originated in 1879 , and which has been in the Kansas and Missouri courts for nearly two decades , the point in the case being the liability of commission men for the sale of stolen cattle. Nearly twenty years ago W. II. More- land shipped to Irwin , Allen & Co. , at the Kansas City stock yards , a car load of cattle of the value of $ (520. ( Irwin , Allen & Co. sold the consignment to Thompson , Payne &Co. Shortly after it was found that the cattle nad been stolen. The purchasers brought suit against the commission firm making the sale , and the case was carried through a number of the eourtsof Kan sas and Missouri. After it had been pending for some time there Avas talk of effecting a settlement , but it Avas finally concluded that it Avould be best to fight the case out on the issue and Establish the principle of the liability of the commission man , if he were liable in such case , Avhich Avas accord ingly done , and the decision just made declares that commission men making sales under such circumstances are not guarantors of title and are therefore net liable. The suit has been a very expensive one to both sides , but its de cision seems to have been necessary , in order that both cattle OAvners and pur chasers at .the stock yards , as Avell as the commission man making sales , should know "where they Avere at. " Homestead. The following was sent from Omaha. November 6 , to the Chicago Record and indicates that the Nebraska fanner has something besides "wheat to sell : The cattle industry in the west has been given a great impetus in the last few months. This change for the better applies to all branches of live stoc : , but more particularly to cattle and hogs. The sheep industry has been steadily good and any improve ment in that direction in this section is not so calculated to attract. attention. This marked improvement does not take in Nebraska only , but the ranges of northern Kansas , South Dakota , Wyoming and Colorado. When the shipping season opened stock began to come through from the western range in a way that puzzled wise heads who had known there was no stock to be shipped this fall In August stock was moving very freely , in fact , the receipts for that month at the local yards were so heavy that it exceeded any previous August in the history oi the yards except in 1895. In September the cattle came still faster , so that the total received fur the month in Omaha was 102,600. In October the story was more favo.ra.ble , 137,000 cattle coming into the local yards the largest number over received in one month. > ow the indication are that receipts for November will be even heavier , even though November re ceipts ordmarilv are lighter than are those of the two preceding months. The history of the hog receipts at the local yards during tiie month of Octo ber has been equally satisfactory , 1G2- , 000 hogs coming in , the number being exceeded but once or twice ii ) the hist tory of the yards. Of sheep , receipts for the month break all recordsat 134- , 000 head. All this stock brought top prices. Shippers of these cattle , hogs and sheep assert that the range conditions \yore n.Qvpr S.Q fuvo.ya.ble in Nebraska and in adjacent states for the produc tion qf stock. The fee'ding of sheep has improved so much in the last two years that to-day there are ten times more sheep fed in the state than ever before. Stockmen report that they have all the money they want to do business on at rates that are lower than they have been for many years. The scheme of bringing into the state the unfinished range stock of Arizona and New Mexico , which promised real dis aster the first year , now seems to be close to success. The1 "rawhides"'seem to thrive on Nebraska ranga grass and since having become accustomed to Nebraska winters they seem to stand the weather really better than do the Stack. , niri U i i\ \ E GEO. G.
