Mark Hanna's cry is "let well enough
alone. " Will Mark kindly define "well
enough ? "
There is not much democracy in a
democratic platform that is sanctioned
by the republicans.
And the railroads should continue to
keep a big , plain check on Mickey or ,
in spit6 of themselves and him , they
will be likely to lose him. World-Her
ald.
D , M. Strong , of North Bend , attend
ed the republican state convention and
was killed by the cars while on his way
home. The moral is , don't attend
republican state conventions.
A republican paper in telling about
their new candidate for governor says :
"He took up a homestead in Polk coun
ty in 1868 and moved to Oaceola in
1S72 , For twenty years he has been a
farmer , banker and stock raiser , and
has very large holdings in farm lands.
As a politician , he was elected treesur-
er of Polk countv in 1870 and served
ten years. He was a stdte representa
tive in 1861 and 1 G2. " They lay par
ticular stress on his being a farmer to
catch the farmeis' vote. It will be
seen that he was elected treasurer two
years after coming to the state and has
held the office nearly ever since , which
1 has evidently been profitable , as he has
very large Holdings in farm lands. "
All the large cities are chock full of
his kind of' 'farmers. "

GRAND ISLAND , June 25. W.

known as the "Little Giant of
the Big Third , " was nominated

York , for Lieu tenant-Governor ;
Judge Broady , of Lincoln , for
Attorney-General ; John Bowers ,
Secretary of State ; James Bran-
non , Commissioner of Public
Lands and Buildings ; A. De
France , Auditor of Public Ac
counts ; Claude Smith , of Daw-
son , Superintendent of Public
Instruction ; Dr. Lyrnan , of
Hastings , Treasurer. Complete
harmony prevails and there is in

Did the republicans nominate Mickey
in the hope of capturing the Irish vote ?
Hands up. How many of you know
what they are fighting about down in
Venezuela ? Omaha Daily Hews.
They are fighting about all of the
time. That's easy. Ask something
harder.
Senator Chauncey Depew has gone
to attend King Ed's coronation cere
monies and will be unable to take in
the Fourth of July festivities in Valen
tine. He will never know what he has
missed ,
For a real sociable time a Tennesee
garden party takes the first premium.
At Knoxville the other evening some
remarks were made about the American
army in the Philipines and when the
argument was finished they gathered
up several dead and wounded.
The republicans of this congressional
district thought they broke the record
when they took 177 ballots to nominate
Judge Kinkaid , but they didn't hold
the championship very long. The re
publicans of the Fourth district , at
Beatrice , took 343 ballots to nominate
their candidate.
Mount Peelee erupted and killed 20-
000 people , and America stood aghast.
More deaths have been the result of an
eruption of imperialism and greed in
this country , yet thousands of people
profess to see the liand of God in it and
encourage further eruptions of the
same kind. Commoner.
To the east of us , on the coast , is a
mosquito bitten community known as
New Jersey and it is the home of all
trusts , the most of the anarchists and
numerous other plagues. For a week
or two in the town of Patterson , the
headquarters of the anarchists , thev
have been up against the real thing in
the shape of a strike in the silk mills
and the net results are a lot of proper
ty destroyed , a number of broken heads
and other losses to numerous to men
tion and they don't seem to enjoy it.
New Jersey was a comparatively re
spectable place when the democrats
were in control but it has been going to
the bad of late years.
King Ed's coronation show has been
postponed. The stuff is off for a time
and all the work in this direction has
been in vain. Some days ago it was
announced that his royal nibs was
suffering from some trouble and now
he has been operated on for perityph-
litis. We don't know what this is but
suppose it is some high priced disease
that only kings or queen or jacks can
afford to have. He has been operated
on by five doctors , enough to kill any
ordinary mortal , and they say Ed is
pulling through all right , though the
distinguished surgeons issued the same
the same kind of bulletins about
McJKLinley , Garfield and others where
final results did not seem to justify
their predictions.

pect of a reduction. The coun

to the increased valuation of prop- 1

ment of tho board of supervisors ,
