It should not bo necessary to compel

The many auction sales thnt are being
hold throughout this neighborhood and
the good prices that stock , implements
and other articles offered are bringing I
is n good testimonial to the financial
condition of the people , and many of
I those who are making sales nro con-
| vincod that the times were never better
for that bert of thing. The purchasers
have money and it is qulto the common
thing for them to take advantage of the
discount oft'ercd by paying cash.
Usually those sales also indicate n transfer -
for of real estate at a good round fignro
and the settlers are preparing to give
possession to the purchasers.
Those who have watched the two sub
sequent campaigns of Mr. Bryan claim
to recognize now the same IB
and characteristics that preceded is
other nominations nud have come to the
decision that ho is preparing for the
third round. The significant feature of
the proceedings is that none of the old
time democrats who oppose his princi-
i l'les and methods seem inclined to inter'
fero. The conviction is being reached
in some quarters that these old-timers
are quite satisfied with the republican
way of doing business nud it is opined
that they were more than half glad of
an opportunity to withdraw from a los-
ing caubo. _ _
It is now rumored that Bartloy is to
return to the treasury a portion of the
funds stolen whou ho was in office.
This may to some extent condone for
his original offense and ho is in duty
bound to do all in bis power tp reim
burse the state , but as. for its being some
thing worthy of praise , that is another , '
' matter , and cannot place him in any
other light than that of n criminal who
played , loose with public property ,

The editor of t'ho ' Blair , Pilot takes
pride in the fact that ho supported the
pardon of Bartloy before such a move wan
contemplated in the state house , and ho
continues to support Governor Savage's
notion ns though it wore the most popu
lar niovoinont over made by an execu
tive. The Pilot is to bo commended for
its loyalty to the stand it has taken in
the fnco of ndvorso circumstances nnd
the unpopularity with which its cause
has met. Tins Nicws on , the contrary ,
takes prldo in the fact that it was
among the first to oppose any mitigation
of the Bnrtloy sentence , believing that
liis punishment was not more severe
than his crinio warranted. It also takes
pride in the fact that it was among the
first to discover that Governor Savage
was notli man to bo honored with n
second term and opposed him on what
it considered good nnd justifiable
grounds. The pardoning of Bartloy
happened to make the stand this paper
took , popular with the rauk and ( Hoof
, the party but the people , may rest as
sured that if the governor had not sunk
his political aspirations by this master
stroke it would have continued to oppose
his nomination nud would have at
tempted to exert an influence nt the
state convention looking to his defeat in
that body.
The Lincoln Journal paid n uoat com
pliment I to the country press when it
informed i its renders thnt the candidacy
of Governor Savngo hnd boon settled by
the publishers outside of the citios. It
says "tho fight wns so overwhelmingly
I' ouo ' sided thnt oven the politicians who
promised to help the governor learned .
in i n few weeks that they were up against
it and quietly began looking around for
secondand third choices. " The .rank .
a.ud file of the party will not bo particu
larly glad to lonru this , nnd it is possible
that the "rapid lire guns of the country
press"havo been too vapid. They will
bo glad to know that his excellency has
no chance of a nomination , but they
would bo pleased to have the politicians |
who favored Savage continue in their
support of the governor up to and dur
ing the convention so that they might
have the priyilogo of picking up the
whole machine nnd placing it outside
the party or at least informing those
composing it in no uncertain Inugnngo
that they were no longer leaders. This
will bo done anyway unless the manipu
lations of these politicians are particu
larly smoothbut if they hnd all remained
solidly back of Governor Savngo they
could have been moro readily located :
and effectually handled. The party at
largo would hko to deal emphatically
with the men who consider that Bartloy
was n martyr and that treasury looting
is a proper matter for executive clem
ency.
The sugar trnst certainly , has un
limited resources at its command and
unless the friends of the- American in
dustry are right sharp it will yet win
out in its efforts for free or n reduced '
tariff on sugar. Failing to convince the
American people that their prosperity
nnd happiness depends on reduced prices
nud failing to prove that the growers of
the sugar beet in this country are dis
satisfied nud that the industry is of no
nccouut , they have now turned their at
tention to Cuba and nro furnishing free
literature showing how that island Is on
the verge of ruin for want of free sugar ;
that the planters are making noth
ing and that the people nro approaching
preaching starvation and despair. Com
bined with this pica is the gratuitous
isn
advice that concessions to the Cuban
planter will not prove a detriment to :
the American producer nnd that the
sugar industry of this country would in
no wibo bo injured. In their haste to advance
1nr
vance argument favorable to the sugar
trust it is forgotten that those best ac
quainted with the American industry
are in a position to most readily determine

That Charitable Su ar Truatf
The benevolence of the sugar trust
has now been thoroughly analyzed. The
reason is conclusively shown why it is so
deeply interested in the American pej-
pie receiving cheaper sugar and the J
Cuban planters higher prices. It hns
been suspected all along that the trust
would secure a slight benefit by such
action on the part of congress but in
what way and how much has beer
largely conjecture. It is now plain why
the philanthropic trust could afford to
spend a few millions if necessary to go
