The people are in the right mood aud will demand a change of af fairs. The local bosses of the republican party are all broken up over their fail ure to cause dissension in our ranks , and however hard they try to induce fusionists to become candidates , they are making a marked failure of it. The boys are onto the tricks of these wily politicians of the Mark Hanna contin gent. Mayor Jones gave out a general letter to the public , in which he states that he may become an independent candidate for governor of Ohio if he finds the reform movement sufficiently strong. He states that he is not work ing with either party , and that if the sentiment found and created by the Columbus Labor Convention develops he will be in the lielil. A populist in politics ordinarly is1 I 1 a very reasonable man to get along with. He abandoned either one or the other of the old parties on account ofj the issues they presented , and now that A .New Democracy has come to prevail he looks rather to the issues involved than the name by which it is called. It is therefor easily to see why democrats , populists and silver repub licans can work in harmony for the de thronement of the party of Mark Hanna. A dispatch from Washington in this morning's paper says : "The secretary of the interior having been given au thority to lay down rules for the regu lation oi entries under the act of 1897 , now says that no reservation will be made for a reservoir containing less than 250,000 gallons. For a reservoir of less than 500,000 gallons capacity , not more than forty acres can be re served ; for reservoirs of 500,000 gallons and less than 1,000,000 gallons capacity , not more than eighty acres can be re served ; for a reservoir of 1,000,000 gallons lens and less than 1,500.000 capacity , not more than 120 acres can be reserv ed , and for a reservoir of more than 1,500,000 gallons capacity , 100 acres may be reserved. This is definite , for it means that not more than 160 acres of public domain can be reserved for the purposes of the act in any one sec tion. But this is not all. .None of the lands so reserved Can be fenced , and owners of cattle who are using .the pub lic domain for grazing purposes may , benefit from the reservoirs so erected , whether they have entered upon the lands or not. " Bryanism and 16 to 1 may be dead but it is far better to be found in a respectable funeral procession than in a crowd hunting "benevolent assimi lation" with the riile. It is more con sistent ; more humane. We cannot go' back to republicanism with its extrava gance and aristocratic tendencies. $20- 000,000 to a tyrant , to an implacable foe of honesty and justice , lead and steel for a people whose only crime is a desire for liberty ; allowing Carter , who stole over a million dollars directly from the government , to go free and uupardoned after being tried and found guilty , retiring Gen. Eagan on full pay for violating the law. These methods we cannot endorse. The reform forces are strong enough , if united , to defeat this extravagant and dishonest party. Every other consideration should be laid aside , every grievance forgotten , and the slogan should be "simplicity and frugality , " and this party of wild delirious extravagance hurled from power. Think of the millions that have been transferred from the pockets of the poor to the bank account of the rich in commissions alone in the past twc years and be warned of the absorb ing tendency of this plutocratic party. With the Dingley bill , the war taxand the stamp act , this government is run ning behind every month , and wnat will it be when the principal on the bonds are to be paid ? There is an am ple cause for sober reflection. There is abundant reason tor a solid unifica tion of reform forces , and it is only a selfish and office seeking propensitv that will hind er or retard this noble and patriotic movement for a , more economical government. It is time to l move now. The late action of thel president in striking 4000 from the civil service list is a fair warning of the means that will be employed to retain power. There is work to do. Minden Courier. A birthday surprise party was given to E. H. Wilson and his daughter , Nellie Tuesday evening , by the fam ily and friends. They were given numerous and valuable presents and hearty wishes that they might sur * vive to see the next annual anniver sary of their birth. About 9 o'clock light refreshments were served to which all present did ample justice , after which we wended our-way home feeling the evening" had been spent " pleasantly , VALENTINE.

Taxpayers from Table and Minne- chaduza precincts appeared and pro tested against raising hurl in those precincts as the equalization schedule required. Acting on the advice of the county attorney , Commissioner Spratt , holding that the present method of equalization is unjust , for the reason that it did not equalize the valuation of the land throughout the county , moved to leave the value of the land in Table and Min- nechaduza precincts as found by the assessors , Commissioners Parker and Trowbridge voting against the motion for reason that they believed the mo tion to be contrary to la .v.

Jay Lentz , foreman in the mines of the Great Western Company , was caught 'under a fall of slate in the mines at Harmon , W. Va. , about three months ago. His skull was crushed and Dr. E. 0. Harmon and two other surgeons gave him up to die. A piece of his brain larger than a teacup was broken away from the main body of the brain structure and the skull cover ing it was broken away. After a few days the doctors decided to take heroic measures. The shattered brain was cut away and dressed. A healthy yearling calf was tied down , her skull was cut away and a lobe of brain was removed and fitted into the cavity in Lentz's head. The wound then was dressed and trephined aud re sults were awaited. The calf's head meanwhile was fixed up with half a brain in it. Both the man and the calf have pro gressed satisfactorily , and the man is nearly as well as before the operation , though his-mental vigor is not entirely restored. The calf stands as if asleep" until startled , when it moves until in terrupted in a straight line. It will not eat until its jaws are opened and then the jaw movement must be stop ped by force , as the calf continues to chew even when the food is remoyed. : It is indeed a wonderful operation , and the action of the calf reminds us of a machine editor of the republican or plu * tocratic party. In its report of the London cattle market the Mark Lane Express of May \ 2i notes that offerings of cattle from the' ' United States were 2,075 head and from ; South America 2,914 head. It says , j "Some grand cattle from South America - ' ca were shown. " Quotations on "States" cattle were 3s lOd to 4s per 8 pounds estimated dressed weight , while GENEBAL MERCHANDISE.

That is , the best American cattle were quotable only two pence per 8 pounds ( dressed weight basis ) above the best Argentines. Or if best Amer icans were worth 12i cents per pound , best Argentines sold up to 12 cents. There is no question about the increas ing competition of the Argentine beef producer. He is a good second both in numbers and quality to the American , though , the condition of his stock on arrivals not so satisfactory. There is a lesson in the progress that Argentine has made toward the top in beef pro duction. "Good blood" that is the reason and that is the lesson. Argen tine breeders have spared no expense for blood and they are getting it back many fold. The Long Pine Chautauqua will open August 11 , 1899 , at Long Pine , Nebr.
