Ex State Treasurer J S Bartley who
was sentenced to a term of 20 years m
tho penitentiary for the embezzlement
of f201 000 of state funds was released
on 00 days parole by Governor Savage
Saturday night after having served
four years of his term Governor Sav
age claims to have an object in paroling
Bartloy which ho has not made public
and has imposed conditions which may
lengthen his parole indefinitely Whnt
the governors object was and what the
conditions imposed may be nmple suffi
cient for his action and until these ore
known it may be uufair to offer criti
cism For some time it has been quite
generany oeiievea mat Hartley was
made to suffer for tho wrong doing of
others and that not he but they were
theones who profited by his action If
this were true those who participated
in his crime aud derived the profit there
from should certainly share his punish
ment and his ignominy Thishowever
would be 6caut excuse for his pardon
rather the other guilty persons should
bo discovered and punished What
ever the governors objects in pardon
iug Bartley they Inust bo exceptionally
strong for the crime was no light tine
aud the sentence considered from facts
on the surface was not extreme The
public is so far interested in the case
that they would desire Bartley s punish
meat to be of such a nature as to put a
atop to further defalcations of public
officers If there i no punishment for
the crime there are many officers who
would take advantage of their position
to profit at the peoples expense and the
peoplo do not so much desire Bartleys
punishment as that others should be
deterred from following his example
reputed to be the largest single holder It is to be hoped that the governor may
be able to satisfy the people that
leys parole is deserved

The action of people of the drouth
stricken districts in uniting their

sential and powerful in times of pros
perity and happiness People who enn
sincerely pray for relief from drouth or
other distresB should just ns sincerely

An American doctor has been honored
by the French Academic de Medicine
for discovering a new disease Now if
it had been a new and certain cure for
an old disease or if the new disease had
been accompanied by a new and certain
cure humanity would have rejoiced

much nfllicted with both old and new
diseases to feel like taking off their hats
and yelling the new discovery into their
throats on account of his find They
only see in it an opportunity for new
experiments and a possibility of an epi

the entertainment will be a fine adver
tisement and will result in benefit for
months It will help attract attention
to and build up the city and if tho en
tertainment is rightly mnnaged will
promote a friendly feeling among vis
itors and induce them to come again
This iB the prime object of all public
entertainments and the city that is the
most successful at entertaining is the
most successful in other respects
Mr Bryan inconsistent I Well not
much of tenor than he speaks or seizes
his trenchant pen He is now scoring
the Ohio democrats because they didnt
come out boldly either for goldorBilver
If he could remember as far back as a
year ago he would realize that his Kan
sas Oity platform touched about as
lightly on the money question as was
possible and that the colonel himself
was very mute regarding rilver the
paramount itsueol the IfcWlsampaign
In his Indianapolis speech of acceptance
he made a wonderful tilea to have the
man placed above the dollar but
whether n gold or silver dollar was not
specified Quoting the gTeat leader s
own recent words j If the gold stand
ard is good it oujht to have been en
dorsed if bnd it ought to hnve hcn d
nounftd To ignore the snt jtel entirely
was tntxctisable
It is quite uenfrally believed in politi
cal ciiiltM that the democratic
platform is to furnish the keynoto for
the policy to be pursued by that party
iu the national campaign of 30 i iu
which event tho reorganizes appear to
have decideTlly tho best of it or at
least the party will show n radical
change from conditions that have pre
vailed during the two proceeding cam
paigns Mr Bryan has been decidedly
Bnnbbed his name not being mentioned
iu the platform whilo neither tho Kan
sas City or Chicago platforms are men
tioned Fre silver is ignored and im
perialism receives but scant recogni
tion The paramount issue according i
to the Ohio document is tarih reform
a tariff for rewnuo only being de
manded It is certainly a subject for
congratulation lor the Ohio democrats
to pull their feet out of the miro in
which their party has been lloundering
during the past eight years even though
they do find it necessary to resurrect
the old mumified tariff issue It indi
cates that thoy aro coming to their
souses and are willing to make a fresh
start on the track of political honor
The forestry work of the department
of agriculture will no longer be con
ducted under the name division of
forestry having been advanced on
July 1 to the rank of a bureau along
with three other scientific divisions of
the depnrtment The forestry work of
tho department has made such wonder
ful strides and become of such import
to the country that it is with consider
able satisfaction that friends of the
work undertaken noto its advancement
That it has commended itself to congress
is evidenced by tho appropriations of
that body In 1S9S S 2S520 was set
aside for forestry development and pres
ervation During the year just ended
the division had 8SJ20 nt its disposal
and the lost session appropriated lSo
440 to tho work The change will ad
mit of a larger ofilce force in d more ex
tensive field work and the bureau will
be organized in thr e divisions The
work of this bureau is of pnrticular im
portance to Nebraska and other western
states that have immense nreaB of land
that could be ben ficinlly converted into
forests and it is to be hoped that the
bureau will consider this work of prime
importance Thero are millions of
acres of land that would be converted
into valuable property by planting it to
trees and the climnte of the west would
be immensely benefited thereby If
the state government corporations nnd
private individuals will co operato with
the bureau tho work will advance much
more rapidly and thoroughly
