hoped that ho will bo successful in in
cluding the Yankton , Norfolk nnd
Southwestern in the combine.
The refusal of C/.olgosz to renew his
Christianity before ho departed on his
journey was porhnpH the most sensible
action of his life. Ho may have had
too high a regard for those who occupy
heaven to thrust his presence upon them
were it possible for him to do so.

W. H. Lowe IB the logical candidate
for the position of comity biirveyor. HH
is thoroughly qualified and has an t\
tensive practical experience at the busi
ness. His competency to transact any
of the duties of the oillco is unquestioned
nnd ho will undoubtedly bo elected by a
largo majority.
Election is n week from tomorrow and
the n publicans should bo ready to meet
the enemy every minute of the shon

No faltering should bo tolerated ml no

The time allotted to Leon Gzolgosz is
very short and if the reporters Imve
boon accurate ho will take his departure
from this mundane sphere early tomor

mourners among sensible people nnd no
regrets. The Great Judge will see to it
that his pleasures in the next world are
not greater than ho deserves. <
J. B Barnes , jr. , is eminently fitted
for the position of county superintend-
out of public instruction. Not only is
ho n university graduate but ho has had
practical experience nt teaching nnd lias
given excellent satisfaction. IIo is
gaining in popularity with each day
that passes and will undoubtedly re
ceive a largo vote for the oilico.
The assassin of President McKinley
.has paid the penalty for his crime nud
it is hoped that his name will now
go into oblivion , only to be recalled
when it is desired to conjure up mom-

That is the only use his name should bo
put to aud the less frequently the bettor.
So long , Gzolgosz. May your kind
never increase.
Since ho held the oillco of county
judge before , M. J. Mover has had eight
years' experience in the general practice
of law nud is hotter prepared than over

His occupancy of the ofllco baforo was
very satisfactory and gave him a keen
insight iuto the requirements of the
position and if elected this fall he will
be prepared to discharge the duties iu

N > republican has an excuse for uol

Judge Sedgwick is one of the most em

Four yen ago when Judge Bulllvan
wnB n candidate for the Bupromo judgeship -
ship the fuslonlsts were exceedingly
anxious that the court should bo nonpartisan -
partisan , urging his election on that
ground nnd no doubt securing many
votes thereby. This year they have
entirely forgotten that they over advo
cnted Mich n policy nnd they seek to ro-
plane the only republican on the bench
with n fuslonist , thus making the court
strictly partisan. If they were consist
ent then they would bo supporting Judge
Sedgwick now. The election of Mr.
Sedg 'lck cannot change the "non-par-
tlsnnhhlp"'of the court the fusionists
wnro so anxious to secure , as two of the
judges are now fuslonihts and will bo

Hov. Irl U. Hicks , the St. Louis
weather prophet , takes credit not only
in foiotelling of the great drouth with
which thu country was nflliotod thu
past season , but considers that the un
counted millions of bushels of wheat
added to the agricultural resources of
the country was duo to "tho Intelligent
and timely action of farmers who heeded
the warning. " Arguing on the same
line the millions of bushels of corn lost
was no doubt do to the unintelligent
and untimely action of farmers who
headed not the warning. If tlio farmers
had placed implicit confidence in the
rworond prophot.s forecasts no corn
would have boon planted and the
wheat crop would have been doubled
or trebled.
It is said that President Roosevelt's

been accused of visionary tendencies ,
nnd will receive the endorsement of all
who reali/.o the needs of the country in
this particular. That forestry should
receive immediate and careful attention
on tlio part of the government at ) well
is the states is pertinent to all who have
i ivon the subject consideration. When
it is ruuli'/.od that the wood pulp mills

The Stanton Register Is quite exten-
lively quoted by the fusionists of the
stato. Not became its editorials nru
brilliant , but because it dares make as-
-ertions nud statements tlmt stretch the
truth further than the conscience of the
average fusion editor will allow him to
lo in an original article and while they
hesitate to do so they gladly show their
readers what Editor Pont is capable of
performing. Last week , nf ter'othor'fu-
don editors had passed up that exploded
showing that the fusiouists conducted
the state institutions cheaper than have
tlio republicans , the llegistor printed the
statement , which illustrates why it is so
popular with fusion editors who wield
the shears aud paste pot. It furnishes
their kind of argument without the op
probrium attached to original matter of
like sort.
The York Republican , published at
Judge Sodgwick's homo , gives the fol
lowing high recommend of the gentleman -
man who heads the republican state
ticket : "Mr. S. H. Sedgwick , the re
publican nominee for supreme judge , is
proving n tower of strength to the ticket.
The impression ho creates over the state
is more than favorable , aud republicans
find just cause for gratification at the
friendly feeling that exists in all the
. counties. Mr. Sodgwick is n Inwyer of
much inoro thnu ordinary legal attain
. ments , and the calm , judicial qualities
of mind that procure honorable recog
uition aud high standing for him where-
over ho is known , eminently fit him for
the judicial oilico. No abler candidate
was before the republican convention ,
nnd none to compare with him wns be
fore any other convention. While ho is
, a republican ho will not bo a republican
jndgo. This paper confidently promises
this to its readers. The constitution
and the laws of Nebraska only will
weigh with him in the discharge of his
official duties He will uot bo a judge
for the "masses" and he will not bo a
judge for the "classes. " He will bo a
faithful interpreter of the laws as they
exist , without regard to class , creed or
the politicnl faiths of the litigants in the
supreme conn , and this constitutes the
highest possible qualification. "
The fusion leaders were somewhat

K' nnl/.i ' d last year. t > n-lr foices Imve been
iti'itdlly but Hiuely di < lnti grating since
that time nnd In counties that were
tlNt
strongly organized last year there Is
now dissension nnd discord. The democrats
IIIO
ocrats nro prepared to refuse to vote for
nny populist state , national , county or
precinct | and the populists expect to bo
reciprocal nnd roftiBo to vote for nny
ndi
democrat. In localities where the dem
ocrats nro strong they have sought to
force out the populists nnd where the
populists nro strong they have endeav
ored ! to crowd out the democrats. This
has very naturally created j alousy nud
discord not to bo condemned and the
strong parly is likely to reap the results
of a dictating , domineering spirit in the
0Ic
loss of former loyal allies who have
worked hard with the idea that they
had principles at stake and with bnt
scant reward. Such n condition has
been repeatedly foretold as the effect of
fusion. The inoro desire for office on
the part of .leaders can never servo for n
permanent organization nud conscien

Mr. Bryan , in n recent nddross nt
Broken Bow , took occasion to scold the
fusionists of Guhtor county for back
sliding. Ho reminded thorn that while
in 1MHI ho had a majority of 1000 in that
comity , last year ho received barely 100
majority. Ho concludes that his per
sotmlity was not at fault because the
voters also backslid when they came to
Mr Poyntcr's mime. In philosophizing
over the cause of this Mr. Bryan said
I will toll you some of the causes ,
think tlmt the largest canto that con
tributed to our defeat last year was tin
prosperity argument. Aud yet , don'
yon know , I hate to admit it I hnto to
say that any farmer in this count ,
would stand up and say : 'I believe in
silver. I believe in government paper ;
I believe in the equality of individuals ,
bnt the price of hogs is up.1 What doyen
yon think of a man who thinks more of
the price of cattle than of the principles
of his party. " This statement is impor
tant in two or three particulars. In the
llrst place the statement that the repub
licans won by importing voters is con
clusively refuted by the great lender
himself who acknowledges that ho wns
the victim of a landslide , or ns ho him
self expresses it n "backslide. " Then
those fusionists who hit on the happy
idea of claiming that the prevail
ing prosperity was duo to the fact
that thi ) republicans had adopted their
hey are at fault. Mr. Brjan denies
h it the hope of the free silvcrites wns
o induct ) prosperity nnd ho hates to
idmit that voters believed they could
nt tain the same end by n different
nethod through voting the republican
ickot. They should have voted for
rue silver , regardless of the cense
luonccs to themHtlves or the country ,
: nerely because it was a democratic
irinciplo. This foolish idea of obtain-
ng good prices should not have influ
enced the farmers. They should not
: iavo forsaken calamity aud silver. It
s supposed that after this scolding the
farmers of Ouster county will feel par
ticularly menu nnd would consent to
vote for n yellow dog if democratic priu-
ilples demand such a proceeding.
Decidedly Weak Argument.
Ex Senator Allen of Madison recently
wrote n letter to 0. Q. De Franco , chair
man of the populist stnto central com
mitteein which ho expressed some viowt
on the issues of the present campaign
\mong other things the senator wrote :
"Tho loss of the penitentiary shortly
after the iuaugmati u of Governor
Dietrich , by which the state suffered
more than $100,000 damage , closely fol
lowed by the destruction of the hospi
tal for the insane nt Norfolk , by which
nnother $100,000 wns lost to the tnx-
payers , ought to convince candid meii
that there is marked iuconipeteuoy in
the stnto administration , nnd that it
should be changed as speedily as possi
ble , and be again placed in the hands of
those who have the capacity and dispo
sition to properly administer public
affairs. "
The senator's friends will be aston
ished to learn that he was capable
of such uouseu'-o. It is realized that
the campaign material of the fusiouists
is weak aud scarce , but it had been believed
lievod that nothing so vnpid ns this
could have been conceived of as an is
sue , especially by a nmn with the ex
perience of Seuntor Allen. If the loss
of the state penitentiary nud the Nor
folk nsylum by lire cnu be construed
iuto a reason why the republicans should
uot elect n supreme jndgo the nlitionnl
calamity by which President MoKiuley
lost his life should nt ouco bo traced to
the incompoteucy in the government
of Porto Rico.
If the loss of the penitentiary or the
Norfolk asylum , especinlly the Intter ,
cnu bo traced to the iucornpetenoy of
any party or department it should
be laid at the doors of the late fusion
legislature that utterly failed to provide
means for fighting fire.
In the interest of plain common souse
it is to be hoped that the senator will
deny the authorship of the letter or
withdraw the charge. Such a wretched
display of weakness on the part of the
fnsiouists is lamentable.
Another strong pull and Nebraska
will be very thoroughly rid of 1 union.
That opportunity to vote a straight
ticket with one mark IB highly valued

Doc Blxby of the State Journal has
some Ntrango ideas of dissipation and
bad habltsand has handed down the de
cision that "It is not a whit worse to bo

Carrie Nation. "
Reports from various parts of the
state < ire very encouraging for the suc
cess of the republican state ticket this
fall nnd if the party woikers keep right
nt it the result will undoubtedly be
gratifying to the party nnd discouaert-
ing to the enemy.

In 1MIO the farmers raised D.JiTO.OOO-
000 bushels of corn and the value of the
crop was fJSIi.OOO.OOO. This year they
raised but 1,500,000,000 bushels , and yet
the value of the crop is $720,000,000. It

That "prosperity argument" is likely

ugain this full and Mr. Bryan should be
prepared for the worst. Somehow
people have got to believing that their

business. They were of the opinion

the bench already that gentleman who

ample majority to call the corrupt re

The merchants of some Nebraska
cities are entering iuto n plan to
lold traders' carnivals or bargain days ,
hat is not a bad scheme to advertise the
cities and attract people. Special in

The morchnnts nro oxpec od to offer
special bargnius on n certain article or
line of goods kept in stock nud such of
fers nro supposed to bo arranged agree-
nble to the wishes of other dealers so
that there may be no coutlUt and so
that all will benefit. It is n scheme in
line with progressive ideas and in thi. '
way merchants of a small town m.iy
meet the competition of city departmenl
stores very f-uccessfully. The plau o :
such stores is to offer special bargains tc
attract people , hoping that other iner
chaudise may be disposed of at a good
profit. If people could secure such bar
gains at or near homo they would fine
no excuse to go to the city departmou
stores where not iufnqueutly the "bar
gain" is merely uu inferior articb
bought iu largo consignments and sole
nt n handsome margin. The busiues
men of n smnll town by the right np
portiournent could afford to sell gooc
goods at bargain prices and prove them
selves competitors of the departmen
stores that would bo hard to meet. Th
plan is rHCDUimeudud to the cousidera
