A recent ruling from * iho postofllco

however , that no law or ruling has yet
hoou made that will prevent merchants
Irom advortlbiug in the papers that the
carrier delivers to patrons of his route.
The papers ar blossoming out with a
Jitio of spring advertisements that indl
cates a determination on the part of the
merchants advertising to reap a share of
the season's trade , and the extent at
which they are advertising presages a
continuance of the prosperity that has
prevailed during recent years , of which

At thia convention Is the place for these

It is to bo desired that the ticket should

of the party as possible and they should
bo there to BOO that it is BO. In this way
alouo will a good foundation for party
success bo formod. The opposition has

In the heat of a closely contested cam

as an excuse , but when a canard is
worked to capacity merely in an en

no clouds the paper or person using it
shows not only poor business judgment
but a distressing lack of material in sup
port of a line of argument. The story
of the impressment of a Nebraska youth
into the British service for South Africa
la ono of thia kind. It was a strong ar
ticle to show the weakness of the British
cause and the extreme methods they nro
compelled to use to continue the war
against the Boers , but unfortunately for
the story it has developed that it is
largely fabricated and that the boy was
not impressed at all.
An Omaha druggist proposes to demonstrate

Ex State Tresurer Mesnrvo continues
to insist that the court trying his case
has no jurisdiction in the matter and
that the law provided does not apply to
his alleged transactions. If ho was scrap ,
nlonsly honest in his treatment of the
state funds he should permit no mere
technicality to interfere with a full and
complete exposition of his cose and a
thorough disavowal of his dishonesty b'y
the court to which his case has been sub
mitted. His present position is a near
approach to that of Governor Savage ,
who , while protesting that his pardon of
Joseph Bartley was strictly right and
proper , yet objects to any newspaper
interference with the case and refuses to
employ it as the piramuont reason why
ho should receive the nomination at tho'
hands of the republican state convention.
If the gentlemen are right and honest ,
the ouo should not fear , to submit his
case to the court and the other to the
people , neither of which nro likely to err
and muke an in just or wrong decision.

The World-Herald should read the
people of its homo city a Hormon as it
: lld the people who took an interest in
the condition of young Toddy Roosevelt

have boon paying altogether too mouh
attention to a young lord of the violin.
Ho has boon received by the society people
ple ; his comings and goings have boon
carefully noted ; his dross , mannerisms
and what ho cats have attracted atten
tion ; the newspapers have given him
columns of space ; the women have
made goo-goo eyes at him ; the men
have applauded and pronounced him
a wonderful musician , whether they
thought so or not , or whether or not they
were capable of judging ; ho has boon
there a day and a couple of nights , yet
nil know him well enough to have his
name on their lips. Why should * this
bo ? There is Herr Sahnupanspicl and
James Smith and Tony Brown , oil of
whom can play the violin very cleverly ,
and yet they never received one-half the
honor and attention in a month that
Jan Kubolok has received in a day , and
do not receive as much compensation for
a week of earnest effort as Knbolck ro
colvos for an hour , It is ouo of these
inequalities } that the common people
should resist and which should bo ad
justed by the law that is in the hands of
the people.k The World-Herald should
rise in its might and help adjust the
difference existing.
These stories of how tramps have became -
came good and how they have remem
bered former kindnesses with magnifi
cent gifts or how those who have enter
tained them have scoured profitable re
muneration or honors in future years
through the efforts of their ono time
tramp gncsts.which are at present being
ircnlat ed .carry the suspicion that as the
season for tramps is now on they are be-
ug published for the purpose of nfford-
ug his trampship a hearty and almost
oyous welcome from the people ho will
encounter in his travels. It might well
bo argued that where these benefits oc-
cured to ouo person hundreds of others
have suffered oxceediugly from the on-
ouragement they have given tramps ,
and that where one tramp has shown n
reciprocal or generous spirit many others
iiavo taken advantage of their benefac
tors to take their property or repay in a
rnoro brutal manner. If people could
but judge as to who was entitled to
their charity it would bo of great ad
vantage to all concerned. Some go on
the theory that it is better to bo chari
table to a hundred undeserving wretches
than to refuse one who is deserving ,
while others class them all as undeserv
ing and positively refuse charity to any
one tramping abou t. I u those prosperous
days it is probable that very few who
are able and willing to earn a livelihood
are compelled to tour the country beg
ging their living. In a time of panic or
depression more charity shonldbe shown.
The extent of the American sugar in
dnstry and the promises hold ont to it
by tho'fntnro were clearly Bet forth by
the statistics recently pub'ished con
oerniug the production of the American
sugar factories for 1001. It shows to the
public an important reason why the
sugar trust should wish to overthrow or
place stumbling blocks in the way of the
growing industry. It is shown by the
statistics which were compiled by i
special agent of the agricultural depart' '
ment , that last'sensou's ; production was
140 per cent in excess of the preceding
season , amounting to 185,000 tons ,
whereas but 77,000 tend were produced
the preceding season. This is a mag
nificent increase for one year and when
it is considered that the industry is but
about 13 years old , the Grand Island
factory having been built in 1880 and
the Norfolk factory in 1891 , these Jbeing
the two pioneers of the industry , its
growth is simply astonishing. It is
shown that the beet industry now has
41 factories and there nro nine more
building , while in 1000 but 31 foctorios
were in operation. There are now
many millions of dollars invested in the
industry and the factories will scon pay
at the rate of $15,000,000 annually to
sugar beet growers. The 'figures ' paid to
labor by this industry are not shown but
it is probable that the anneal sum will
not be far short of that expended for
boots. An industry showing this stu
pendous development is certainly worth
considering. Its advance is undoubt
edly more rapid than that of any other
industry ever started in this country
and it might be said to b > but just be
gun. And certainly this indnbtry means
more to the agricultural class and to the
west in particular than any industry re
cently developing. In the face of this

The supreme court has decided that
an occupation tax levied against saloons
by ordinance does not belong to the
school funds but is city money. The de

aa the occupation tax of $250 has but u

school funds , as in other towns. The
case bringing out this decision came
from Aurora.
The if armors who are removing from
Nebraska will probably find some day
that they have made a mistake in leav

bors or successors in this state will have
the wealth. The proposition of chang

with a good deal of doubt.
It is something decidedly unusual for
two brothers to run for the sarno office

stein. Whether city warrants will be
signed Jack or Dan remains for the
oters to say , but they will certainly
boar the name of Koenigstein.
Perhaps the cost of the banquet served

disclosures like tins it may finally develop
that the people serving the banquet

In the death of John P. Alfgeld of
Illinois the radical element of democ
racy and populism represented as Bry-
ahiim , loses a "pioneer and ouo of its
stannchest advocates. About the time
ho was honored by being chosen as gov
ernor of Illinois , Mr. Altgeld took a lead
in national democratic' politics and he
and his followers represented by Mr
Bryan have been successful in predomi
nating over the conservative element ,
but since serving as governor he was
never again successful in attaining offi
cial position and his element has never
succeeded in gaining control of national
affairs. Ho will be missed by that ele
ment of the democratic party , as he was
ouo of the most vigorous loaders.
Ex-State Treasurer Meserve has es
caped punishment and evaded the law ,
but he did it in the manner which has
been held up'by the fusibnists as pecul
iarly and deplorably republican. It waste
to be supposed that in view of the foe1
that republicans had employed tech
uicalitles in evading thd charges filed
against them , this sturdy advocate of re
form would insist on being cleared of
the charge right and if it was found
that the Douglas court had no jurisdic
tion , ho would himself move that the
trial bo held where the law would have
against the verdict of acquittal , although
the jadgo expressed his disapproval o
the loophole left by tbo law and practi
cally acknowledged that while the
state , school fund was shy $3,000 iu in
terest which had hioti appropriated by
the ox-tronsuror , the court was power
less to punish for the omission. A souse
of justice which is said to percolate the
l.oarts of all good fusioulsts should im
pel Mosoive to put it back , but ho will
probably bo appealed to iu vain. Pos
session is ju this case not only nine points
of the law but nine parts of the con

It is practically conceded that Gov
ernor Savage cannot bo the nomiueo of
the republican party , at the coming state
rtnntmtt'Hrtti flinf. ttinmn Vitm na ft
candidate would bo an abuse of public
opinion and nn ontrago on the sentiment
of the men composing the party who
object to being1 held responsible for his
actjlon in the Bartloy matter , or allow
ing it to appear in any manner that
Bartley and his friends are exorcising
the ] least control , over party policies.
This is well enough , as far as it goes ,
but the rnuk.and file of the party < will
demand more than that they' will de
mand fall and complete evidence that
it has been entirely cleared of that class
of 'men and their machinations. A
definite course must govern the deliber
ations of the convention that will dis
tinctly sever it from any entangling
alliance with the old machine. The
last state convention demanded Hartley's '
return to the penitentiary nnd tbo ces
sation of his parole , and this action me
with almost' universal commendation ,
The party is fhus on record as disapprov
ing executive clemency to Bartley. I
will not retreat from that position , On
the contrary it will sustain the action
of last year by a strong and vigorous
resolution censuring 'Governor ' Savage
probably the only man in the state who
would have the audacity to set himself
up as wiser than his partytotally ignore
the expressed desire of his party , and
proceed directly contrary to its instruct
ions and in defiance * of its demands.
But the convention must not oven stop
at'censuring his inexcelleucy. Candi
dates must be named against whom it
cannot be intimated that they are even
remotely connected with Savage , Bartley
or any of the Bartloy transactions as
beneficiaries or othenvise. In a clear ,
clean-cut repudiation of the whole
Bartley-Savnge gang only can the
republican party hope to secure Victory
at the polls next fall. The people are
ready to support the party if it adopts a
manly , honest position , but any half
hearted attempt to gloss over this public
outrage will mean defeat , decisive and
overwhelming. The hand writing is on
the wall. There is no qustion as to its
nterpretation. Let the republican patty

The opponents of the republican party
hope that the difference of opinion on
he Cuban reciprocity proposition will
result in an irrepairnble split between
the representatives of that party in con
gress , but they are quite likely to be dis
appointed and the difference existing
satisfactorily1 adjusted. It is theunusual
situation that proves both'ersofoo. The
republican party has always been the
sturdy champion of home industries ,
using home produced raw material and
employing hcme labor , and were the sit
uation an ordinary ono hi which a for
eign country was concerned there
would be no question about the outcome
for a moment , but this concerns a child of
misfortune championed through past
difficulties by the American people and
almost considered one of the family.
This is demanding recognition for its
products , championed by a'strong com' '
binatlon of capitalists in this country
who choose to appeal to sentiment
rather than business and it is1 bharged
that this combination will realize the
largest per cent of emolument should the
reciprocity measure be successful. * This
lends a bad flavor to the cause alleged to
be solely that'of the Cubans. On the
contrary there is no question about * the
worthiness of "the young and growing
American industry demanding protec
tion from its strongest adversary ; 'It is
a situation'with nice points' demanding
wise and careful consideration and yel
the republicans are capable of getting on
the right side of 'the question' and
reaching a just decision. Nebraska is
particularly interested in the greatestad-
vantage to the beet' industry and tihelr
constituents are pleased to note thai'the '
Nebraska delegation is lined up solidly
in favor of the industry and it is hopot
that their cause may win. It is statec
that the Cubans are now moro prosper
ous than they have been for years one
certainly they have not heretofore'fonhd
It necessary to secure special recognition
for their sugar by the United States in
order to get along. It is therefore pos
ible that they cau get along ns they
have done , at leasfuntil the American
industry is firmly established , which a
the present rate of growth will bo but' a
few years. Tbo American people wish to
see them aided but hardly at a dectdet
disadvantage or sacrifice to home inter

KopuW'cnn City I'olltlcH.
Republicans cannot view the proceed
ings of last evening's convention with
any great degree of pride. When it be
comes necessary for the dominant party
hi the city to beg some one to take the
fnr Um IftAdlnff noxitlnn nn
the ticket , It shows that something is
wrong. After many ineffectual attempts
to secure n mini to stand as candidate
for mayor , Jack Koouigstoiu finally nl- ,
owed the use of his name. He did not
want the nomination , having at first
flatly refused to run , but ho is good
uaturod and anxious for party success ,
nnd his friends at last prevailed upon
lim to accept. Now they should show
the same amount of interest at the
polls and see that ho is elected.
This is not the first tinio the republi
cans have hud trouble to secure a candi
date for mayor. In fact it has corno to
bo quite the expected thing iu ctty con
ventions. The trouble seems to bo with
the party itself , which either * will not
support its candidates for election , or if
elected the mayor is kept in hot water
during his whole term by the contend
ing elements in his party. In local is
sue's , the republicans are divided into
two distinct elements , the conservatives
and the anti-salooniuts , and heroin lies
the secret of why no man wants to bo
elected mayor on the republican ticket
in this city. If ho conducts his admin
istration along certain lines , he is blamed
by one element of the party for being too
strict , while if ho is moderately liberal
hi his views , ho is charged'by ' the other
element with being in cahoot with the
saloons. In either case he loses friends
and is put to a great amount of annoy *
anco , hence as the position calls'for ' the
volunteer of a large amount of his time
and in whichHhero is scarcely any rec
ompense except doubtful honor , it is not
to bo wondered at that it is difficult to
secure a candidate among republicans.
On the other hand , when a democrat is
elected to the place , only one thing is
asked of him and that is that he will
allow what is known as an "open town. "
He is not criticized for this kind of an
administration , because that is what is
xpected , but the contending demands
made upon the republican mayor are
more [ numerous than he can possibly
ulfilli
Norfolk has had republican mayors
n times gone by. Both Colonel Simpson ;
and W. M. Robertson gave the city ad-
minifitrnfinnHnf vchinVi i > m'trthf.
but neither received the united 'support '
of * his party ia his efforts to maintain
jood-government - and neither conld be
nducod to take the nomination the
second time. ' Nevertheless , in the light
of administrations given by democratic
mayors , both should have received the
hearty commendation of their party
rather than the condemnation of a
portion of it. When those identified
with the republican party learn that in
a community where the sentiment is as
t is here , it would be impossible to con
duct city affairs outside rather liberal
ines , and will support their officers in
lie discharge of their duty as they find
t , then will it be less difficult to induce
men who value peace of mind and the
'riendship of their neighbors , to become
candidates.
