The Freeport , Illinois , Jonnml wants Homo ono to dig up a moamiro whioh 1ms boon t-lmmpiouod by the democratic party during the past quarter of a con * < ury that is not dead and buried beyond the hope of resurrection. That paper should require something easier. A trip to the north polo , a Illght to the moon or the driving of n camel throngl n noodle's eye would bo much more readily accomplished. These who are inclined to favor n lit of pessimism will take great delight of t heir kind in reading thostorioa prog nosticating that this is the year for a visitation from the 17-year locusts. The optimist , however , will pntiontly wait to bo "shown" and will go right on plant ing his crops as though the sensational reporter had not discovered that this was the year when the post was duo to make a pilgrimage and ho will probably find that the forecaster was again mis taken , That trouble which the democrats anticipated would come to the republi can party through differences ever the Gubau tariff question in the national IIOUEO of representatives docs not appear to have developed largely to their satis faction when the final test cnmo and the question was decided almost as a unit. The'will endeavor to magnify what difiVioneos were manifest , but by the time they could make tha best ust > of such a condition they will llnd it en tirely dissip.Ued. It is the way the re publicans liuvo of disappointing the remnant of the democratic party. The failure of a 'busman to got a pas EGiigor to the depot in time to catch the train has boon made the basis for a $15,000 damage suit at Webster City , Iowa Thu passenger wa * to have undergone an important surgical operation at Des Moinud without an hour's delay and the 'busman neglected to call in time. If the Milt against the 'busman and the hotel running the 'bus is successful there will hereafter bo some risk in neglecting to call for passengers iu time to mnko their trains. With- o it doubt tVo survico of some 'busmen would bo beiulited if they understood that there \\as a risk in delays and dis appointments. The shoritY of Dodge county and the foreman of the jury that returned the verdict have unit d in representing to Governor Savage that the l.iw should bo allowed to take its course iu the ease of AVilliam Hhea and that ho bo permitted to hang on the Sfith , which is next Fri day. The sheriff loviows the case at length hid c tting that Hhea was a cold blooded and deliberate murderer , ocut on lobery at any cost. Ho bhot /uhn , who had his hands in the air in accordance with the demand of the rob bers , kicked bis prostr.ito body and after wards robbed the pockets of the dying man. From his statoaieut it would ap pear that death by hanging H notio too good for the young mau , as a punish- uiont for the crime a id us an example to others of a like bru'al naturo. The Sioux City Journal bus evidently reud Nebraska's famous World-Herald and feels capable of interpreting its desires on the meat question. It has como to the conclusion that § 7 steers for the farmer and stock niit-er and five , cent beef for the laborer would about Biiit that paper. By the way , it would undoubtedly suit the parties concerned nnd all the rest of mankind. If the Wotld-Herald can bring that sort of condition to pass , not only iu regard to incur , but Hour , eggs , butter , sugar , etc. , uto. , it will probably have the hearty co-operation of all the other papers in the state , regardless of political favors i0r prejudices , and all will agree to work night nnd day until the donlrcd reform in accomplished. Iloforrod to the people , It would carry unanimously. The farmers could certainly bo dojxmdod on to line up for $7 fitocrn right along nnd the coiiflnmcrs of moat would ably and effectually Biipport thorn , knowing that five-cent boot would result. This country in "In it" with any of Its competitors as far as the world's mark ets nro concerned according to the HtatlflticH for the eight months ending with February. This showing Is to the effect that the United States exported domestic products to the valno of | IH > 8,000,000 , , agnlm-t $0:17,000,000 : from its greatest competitor , that of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. A margin of fill,000,000 overall all , in the lead would appear to bo a pretty wife ono for the country after the belt as a leader of commercial snpproin- aoy , and then to think that this country lacks a good many years of attaining llfi highest point of dovclnpmont ! Thorn are acres and acres of fertile land right around hero that nru now producing practically nothing which when placed under cultivation will go a long ways toward swelling the export showing pro vided the exporters continue as sue cossfnl in getting the pioducts bo foru the peopluof other counties. The World-Herald has again thrown a lit over the republican campaign cry of "Four years more of the full dinner pail" used in the last national campaign , the fit being caused by the advance in the price of moats caused , as the calamity organ claims , by "trust" exaction. Its spasm is to little purpose , it is safe to say , with the workmen , who nro getting more work at better wages than they have for years. Kvon at the present price of moat they can botlor afford to eat it than when , under democratic rule , the price of hoof was hovering around the $1 to $ ! ! mark and hogs as low or lower. Thou people could not aiTord to oat meat as well as they can now be cause they had no money to buy it at any price , and their ability to stand the raise now is undoubtedly ono reason why it has been going up , but they now have a larger cash balauco than they did under the good old democratic days when meat was cheap. The World- Herald would bo doing the thing with better grnco if it would save its fits un til the people could view them with greater appreciation , The voters can inaugurate n move- inout at the primaries that will effectu ally head off any echoino looking toward the nomination of Savage and the justi fication of Looter 13artloy and they should bo nwnko to such an opportunity. The only hope of the combine is that the rank and fllo of the party may prove listless at n critical time and permit the naming of delegates who may bo manip ulated to answer the purpose of the schemers. The matter should not be allowed to rest with the belief that there are no admirers of Savage in the county or precinct. There nro men in perhaps every county in the state who would be glad to have Governor Savngo nomi nated , either because they support his action , admire his methods , ewe him nmnothlng or would like to see the re publican party handicapped during the coming struggle. They nro not many in this part of the state , but they wi'l ' accomplish their purpose unless the largo number take an interest iu the primaxies and in the county convention. Now is the time to wake up and keep awuko until nftor the 18th of Juno. Edgar Howard of the Columbus Tele gram has started in to reform the re form parties , his argument being along the same lines as the republicans , who have made wonderful headway toward the elimination of Savagery nnd Hartley- ism from republican state politics. Judge Howard's criticism is merited and the proposed reformation is needed but ho is a little late in starting. Before be can work up the sentiment necessary to accomplish such a reform the republican party will have entered the campaign cleansed and rejuvenated , with a. state ticket composed of men of sterling in tegrity and worthy of the utmost con fidence of the voters. It requires time to eil'ect such reforms and fortunately the proper spirit was aroused in the ie- publican party in time through the par don of Hartley by Governor Savage. It is to bo hoped that the fusionists will not require the same sort of awakening as the republicans received , but without such nn pyo-opener it will require con siderably more time to effect n change than was necessary in the case of the re publicans. Judge Howard should keep on with his work until the desired re sults nro nchlovcd. Some of the city papers appear to take unusual delight in announcing every now candidate for governor that is sprung in north Nebraska. It is recog- ni/.ed that the more candidates brought out in this section the greater opportun ity is presented to have the delegations split np so that none of them will have an opportunity of scouring the nomi nation and the greater chance is pre sented for the old leaders to again dic tate the nomination , nnd in doing so it is not unlikely that their first choice will be Governor Savage , who should likewise bo immeasurably pleased to have the forces to opposed to ho nnd Bartley so divided that their strength is rendered ineffective. Perhaps there is no such intention on the part of the candidates or tholr friends , but there is no question but that other politicians will endeavor to hnvo such n condition result and will do nil in their power , to aggravate any differences existing be tween delegations HO that they may bo converted to tholr own uso. Kx-Sonator Allen , viowlug the situation from the other side of the political fence , says iu last week's IBBUO of the Mmlison Mail : "Tho way for the republicans of the North Platte country to bent themselves out of the nominee for governor is to spring n few more candidates and go into the convention with divided strength. " Homo newspapers nro recommending that , in view of the high price of moat , the people bo induced to eat less of that food which , while probably made nee- cscury to many who like moat on their bill of faro , is far from agreeable. The Ni\vs : risen to suggest that a more satisfactory method would bo the giving of more attention to stock-raising. At present prices there is big money in the stock business and fanners and stockmen - men can well all'ord to invest moro time and capital in growing beef and hogH for the market. The meat business is ono that a trust cannot very sucf'ssfully control , as far as the west is concerned - corned at aty rate , The people have the recourse of raising their own meat if there is no other way out , and it is not impossible that the present price of moat will induce more small private hog ponswhero a winter's supply of pork may be developed with little expense , to the undoing of any meiit trust and , with a little more room and advantage a cow or two may bo kept , the increase from which will go toward supplying several families with moat. While meat may not always bo kept at its present high price there is little risk but that the small raiser way come out more than even by increasing the atten tion ho has been paying to the industry. If that recent legislation looking to ward the doing up of the oleomargarine industry in the interest of the creamery and dairymen is responsible for the prevailing high price of butter , there are these who would favor a provision that some of the people might bo iu * duccd to oat the tallow product so that the lovers of butter might indulge their appetite without having to pawn the baby's shoes or mortgage the furniture. It seems ( habit really should bo charged that a "trust" or some other nefarious influence is behind this scheme to make the people dig up from 25 to10 cents for the privilege of spreading the residue of. COW'H milk on their toasts , and that , too , at the season of the year when it is to bo supposed that the budding verdure has operated to bring the price down to the minimum. This is another of these instances whore the farmer and his wife nro prospering at the expense of the eater , but the western eater with an eye to the future is not complaining. He recognizes that when the farmer is prosperous - porous there is the greatest degree of prosperity for everyone else and ho will certainly gather in his share. Not a portion in Nebraska should object to having butter , beef , eggs , corn , lard and other products of Nebraska soil reach the highest limit iu prire. If anyone is entitled to complain it is the locality that does no producing and even it is benefited indirectly. TUB NEWS does not like to keep at it so persistently that the people will come to believe that Judge Robertson is accustomed to furnish the inspiration and advertise himself continually , and those who know his innate modesty will not for a moment believe him capable of such action , but it wishes it kept before the voters and impressed 011 their minds that , since ho has consented to stand for the nomination for novovnor on the re publican ticket , it would bo a grave mis take to allow him to bo replaced at the state convention by any man unlos * bo be better adapted to the position , and it is not believed that there Is Mich a man in the state. Helms all the attributes that the people admire and that admir ation may readily bo turned to the deepest love and regard on closer ac quaintance. Ho is thoroughly qualifie 1 for the position in every way. A pol ished gentleman , with inbred diplo macy ; well informed on the laws of the commonwealth , having been a member of the constitutional convention and through his wide practice hits kept in close touch with the laws since ; ho possesses a strong personality , knows his duties nnd responsibilities and will not bo swayed fiom the course ho considers right , one iota : lu < has excellent judgment and a broad , intense mind to govern his ac tions , and if nominated and elected will bo n credit to himself , his friends and the state. It is early to indulge in prognos tications , but this paper would like to go on record \sith the forecast that if Hon. W. M. Rub < , rt.son is honored with one term in the executive cilice ho will be renominated , and elected by a bigger majority than ho received the first time or than any Candidate for the position has recently received. This is made as an evidence of the faith his friends pos sess in the ability and character of Mr. Robertson. As a campaigner ho will prove eminently satisfactory. With n good platform appearance , ho possesses strong magnetism and a pleasing de livery and will be capable of swaying the voters as few can. L The Fremont Tribune is led to remark that ' ( spring fervor will go a good deal further than spring fever in pushing Fremont to the front. " A similar motto should adorn the gates of a good ninny towns nnd cities. An exchange is fearful that J , Pier- pout has overlooked the aerial naviga tion lines , and that such means of transit hnvo boon loft out of the com bine. They should not worry , Ho has shown that ho has boon awake hereto fore and will not allow the aerial lines to got away from him if they prove to be n good thing. If it is really true that there is a trust engaged in boosting up the price of cattle the farmers of Nebraska and other western states should extend it a vote of thanks for working in their interests nnd fighting their battles for thorn. It is probable that no more satisfactory thing could happen than the present high price of cattle , as far as the farmers nro concerned. If the trust is exacting too much for killing the beeves and placing them on the market the farmers are also in position to circumvent thorn at that , by killing their own beeves and placing them on Halo. If there is such a thing as the meat trust it would bo considerable of n task to maintain it so that it would have a cinch nnd not benefit the coimuncr at ono end or that other class , about as numerous as the consumer , on the other end the stock raiser. The Ord Quiz cauio out in magazine form last week , the entire issue being devoted to Ord and Valley county. Articles on pertinent subjects have been contributed and with the fiiio half tone illustrations used made the publication ono worth filing away for reference nnd UH a valuable souvenir. Ono of the best showings in the edition is the increase in bank deposits in the country. In 1807 the deposits in nil the banks of the county wore $ flO,750 ! and in 1902 , on the first day of April , they wore $318,910. The growth of the live stock industry as shown by the assessors' returns is also very satisfactory to the people thoro. In 1897 the assessors reported 9,072 , head of cattle. In 1902 the assess ors' estimate was that there were 24,050 head of cattle in the county. If this in dicates the general increase of cattle throughout the state and country it need not bo feared that anyone will starve to death for want of moat because the "trust" is placing prices too high. It is to ba expected that a certain class of publications and politicians will denominate Morgan's new merger as moaning the utmost evil to the country and the people but there are these who can see whore it will operate for the common good and be of immense ad vantage to this country and Us com merce. The statement of Clement A. Griscom , president of the International Navigation company appears to be very reasonable : "The consolidation will result in better trans-Atlantic service , steadier nnd more uniform rates , a just distribution of traffic over all American and Canadian seaports , increased Hues on the Pacific and services to South America ns traffic may be found to justify thoui. Having lines between Great Britain and Australia and Now Zealand and intimate connection with the far east , American manufacturers will bo able to distribute their products on through bills of lading and avoid the expense of transhipments which they now incur. The products of the farm will be shipped from the seaport most convenient to that of production. In a word , it is intended to reduce trans portation charges ns far as po ible to everyone ; to improve facilities , and the company expects to make its increased profits over the condition of the pas' ' ' from economical management. " The telegram from Congressman Hob- inson yesterday brought reliable infer- mntion that the efforts of Norfolk to secure an appropriation for n public building have at last boon crowned with success. This city has been stiiving for the past 15 years to have a federal build ing located hero and the news that success has finally been achieved , is gratifying indeed. Many did not r.-ally believe that the appropriation could bo secured at this session of congress , ow ing to the fact that the congressman from this district does not belong to the dominating party in the house. Con gressman Kobinson himself was not particularly confident of setting the bill through when he introduced it , nor could ho have done it if ho hid not had help. While ho was loyal to his con stituents in this city and strained every nerve to secure the past-age of the measure , much of the rciil credit for .success belongs to another , and Con gressman Kobinson is fair enough to concede this fact. That other is lion W. M. Robertson , who made a trip to Washington iu January , representing Norfolk. His acquaintance nud influ ence with members of the committee and of the house , contributed very materially to the success of the bill. Mr , Robertson has a wide acquaintance and stands high witli men in Washing ton who mould legislation , men who are iu position to make or kill a bill , Through the respect that these men have for him ho was able to obtain a promise that the political complexion of this district should be overlooked , nnd in face of the fact that our congressman is not in harmony with the majority' that the appropriation should bo made at this session , Hence the ftatcmout is reiterated that if it had not been for the presence and lullnnnco of W. M. Rob ertson in Washington n public build ing for Norfolk would not bo in night at this time. He has repeatedly shown that ho possesses the energy and strong character necessary to achieve success and very essential iu high public offices. Being a man of strong per sonality , ho has force to inako himself felt nnd when ho goes after a thing ho gets it. No stronger man could bo found iu the state for governor nnd his election would bo n guaranty of as clean and able nn administration as has ever been had in Nebraska. His friends in this part of the state feel confident that the man who can secure an appropri ation for a public building in face of ad verse congress , will bo nominated at the coming republican statu convention nud that ho will bo elected. THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS. Philippine Bill In Senate and Oleomar garine Measure In House. Washington , April 21. The senate will begin the week by taking up the river nnd harbor appropriation bill to day and when that measure is dis posed of , will resume consideration of the Philippine government bill. It IB not expected that much time will bo required to get the river and har bor bill through the senate , ns It Is generally approved by senators. It Is now understood that Senator Rawllns , senior Democratic member of the sen ate committee'on the Philippines , Khali lead off in the speech-malting In opposition to the Philippine bill , to be followed by other members of the committee and other Democratic sen ators. The opinion Is expressed that the bill will be before the senate for at least three weeks. The early part of this week In the house of representatives will be de voted to routine business , with a pros pect that some important general legislation will be taken up during the latter part of the week. Wednes day will be devoted to the oleomargar ine bill , which was amended by the senate. During the remaining days of the week It is practically settled that the nntl-anarchist bill of Chairman Ray of the judiciary committee will be considered. The measure Is much more stringent than the anarchist bill passed by the senate. Plans also are on foot for considering the omnibus pub lic building bill during the latter days of the week. FRANK R.

SOME FACTS ABOUT SARTO. Man Who May Succcd Present Pope is of Serious Turn of Mind. Rome , April 21. Cardinal GUIS- seppe Sarto , of whom the pope re cently said In a conversation with Father Lorenzo Perosl , the Italian composer : "Hold nlm very dear , Perosl , as in the future ho will ho able to do much for you , we firmly believe ho will be our successor , " was born at Ricsc , in the province of Venice , Junu 2 , 1835.

Fancy dressed chickens have sold ns high as ll'a cents , against S'X.- cents at this time last year. Dcud Compares Beef Prices. Chicago , April 23. President Levl B. Doud of the Chicago Llvo Stock exchange said : "Comparison of prices of live stock nnd dressed beef at the present time nnd exactly 20 years ago show that In the spring of 1882 live stock was higher In the markets of the United States nnd the proportion of cost of the dressed product ready for the consumer was considerably greater than at the present time. At that time every city nnd town of any consequence had its own slaughtering and dressing houses , " Flames Break Out Simultane ously in Several Parts of City.
