It in evident that the populate of the
Third congressional diRtrict propose to
HOO whether or not the democratH will
treat them with fairness. The boom of

growing nnd It IH not doubted that ouch
sentiment is behind it.
Big Cherry republicans have an car
close to the ground and havu named
delegates favorable to the nomination
of W. M. Robertson for governor.
There will be other counties to bo proud
of the distinction that they were Rob-
urtnon counties before many yearn have
passed. _ _
Two weeks from today Is tlio date
when W. M. HobortHon will bo named
for governor and a mouth from the
Biuno date in the occasion of Norfolk's
monster Fourth of July celebration.
There is therefore every reason why
the people of this city should look to
the future with satisfaction.
Democrats who peruse the proceed
ings of the Ohio nud Kansas republican
platforms may readily conceive that if
their party chooses to enter approach
ing campaigns on a scuttle policy in
reference to the Philippines , the repub
licans will bo only too willing to fight
the battle with that as the "paramount"
jssno.
Senator Allen is of the opinion that
unless Mr. Bryan will consent to bo the
Indian nominee for governor , the demo
crats nud popullsta will each name a
candidate. For the benefit of the fus
ion cause Mr. Bryan will probably con
sent to rush iuto the breach while Mr.
Allen will contiuno to edit the Madison
.Mall until another broach is opened.

The representative of the Filipino
people recently interviewed by the
house committee stated that Governor
Tftf t is much loved by the people there
l > nt he will have difficulty in making
the democrats on that committee be
any such silly rot. The governor is
despised and they know it whether the
people of the island are aware of it or
JlOt.

It is little more than two weeks until
the republicans , meet in state conven
tion and by that time , if W. M. Rob
ertson continues to grow in popularity
as he has been doing , it will be just ns
well to dispense with a ballot for gov
ernor , as it will be assured that the re
publicans and the delegates represent
ing them will insist that hb should be
the candidate of the party.
In spite of what some statesmen who
should know better may say , the Amer
ican ( lag is in tthe Philippines for a
noble purpose and time will demon
strate the truth of the assertion ,
Furthermore it is likely to remain in
those islands until the purpose is ac
complished with all honors accuring to
the people who oppose a policy of scut
tle.
It is most disgusting for certain
persons after the democrats have pre
pared and proven , to their satisfaction ,
that the United States army U composed
of heartless brutes to appear and prove
the utter falsity of the testimony on
which the highly patriotic democrats
have based their story. They have no
regard for the worthy inspiration for
good that prompts democratic hearts.
President Roosevelt , who made sev
eral speeches in Nebraska when he was
candidate for vice president , may renew
his acquaintance with this state this
fall. He no doubt recalls with pleasure
the reception ho got here at that time
*
and would enjoy n similar experience
again Certainly the people would be
delighted to have him come aria can
afford to promise him a rousing welcome.
Mr. Bryan's recent trip into the south ,
Bpokeu of as a lecture tour , was in real-
4ty planned to feel the southern pulse
regarding the reorganisation of the
democratic party according to a Lin
coln corrocBpBdcnt. The result of MR
trip leaves him nHsurod that the south
) H determined to stand by him , and ho
oxpeotR to control two-thirds of the
delegates to the next democratic na
tional convention ,
The key note of General GroBvenor'B
address before the Ohio state convention
was , "Hold the Philippines nnd lot the
tariff alone , " which will bo n winning
cry if adopted by the republicans gener
ally. It is safe to Bay that there
IB a Tory small majority of the people In
the country who favor thoBouttlo policy
of the democrats nnd In view of the pre
vailing prosperity there nro few who
will wish to risk n return to calamity
by a revision of the tariff laws.
Now will those who are endeavoring to
make trouble in republican rnnkB let up
a llttlo on the Htory that Senator Hannn
oHplros to BUporcede President Roosevelt
volt in 1 ! 04 ? The Ohio republican
state convention lion mot and Senator
Hnnnn's friend * ) had everything their
own way and yet Rtrong roBolutioiiB
were adopted endorsing the policy of
President Roosevelt and strongly com
mending MH attitude on the question of
the day.
It IH rumored that the Lincoln ring IH
insanely jealous of the ono in Hayes
county whore seven of the twenty republican -
publican committeemen mot recently
and appointed delegates to the state ,
congressional , senatorial and represent
ative conventions. It is enfo to say that
if nny of the seven rommitteomou
wanted to go to n convention they were
given that privilege and no questions
asked. Thin is perhaps the most imper
ialistic sample of ring rule ever chron
icled in the htnto's history.
It is evident that the galleries of the
Rcnnto sometimes bettor represent the
Koutimont of the country than the sena
tor who tuny bo addressing that body.
When Senator Carmack made another
attack on the soldiers in the Philippines
the other day MB words were received
with hisses of disapproval. The senator
should consider those hisses as coming
from a largo majority of the American
people and cense his attacks on the
soldier hoys if ho desires to bo popular
with any largo portion of his country
men.
It is evident that the Lincoln people
arc nwnko to the necessity of doing
something to "do gang" and propose
that boss rule shall shortly bo elimi
nated from the republican councils in
that city. The host evidence of Lin
coln's sincerity will bo for it to unite
with the balance of the state and nomi
nate a state ticket above suspicion with
W. M. Robertson for chief place. After
they have'dono that the voters at large
will have reason to behove thnt the cap
ital city's politics have boon thoroughly
purified , for the time being nt least.
This season promises to bo one during
which more people will go away for an
outing or an extended visit than any
summer season for many years , and it is
becnnso more people have the money to
spend for such pleasures than ever bo
fore. They nro prospering and getting
out of debt nnd feel that it will not only
benefit them but that the expense o :
some pleasurable recreation can be met
without proving burdensome to their
finances. It is a condition to he desired
and it is to be hoped that nothing wil
occur to change it for years to come.
The candidacy of W. M. Robertson
for governor has taken north Nebraska
republicans by storm and has received
favor with many from the south Platt
country. Ho would make a desirabl
candidate to head the republican state
ticket and many republicans realize
that it will take a particularly clean and
able man to maintain ; the republican
plurality that bos been created in the
state. If the convention that meets on
the 18th is fully informed concerning
Judge Robertson there is little question
as to the results of its ballot for the man
to head the ticket.
President Palma is already encounter
lug some of the snares that lay in th
path of official life , as the chief execu
tive of his native land. Some enter
prising newspaper of that island go
hold of nud published his message before
fore it was given to congress and th
house passed a resolution in which i
was stated that the premature pnblica
tlon of the document was n discourtesy
on the part of the president. The pros
ideut has undertaken to discover th >
leak through which the uewspape
gained its intelligence. Preslden
Palma is thus early brought to realiz
that he not only has n congress on hi
hands but some energetic newspnpe
people ns well.
President Roosevelt expresses hi
determination to discourage crueltlei
and outrages in the Philippines , but h
objects to having his" course along tha.
line pointed out by representatives from
portions of the United States when
lynchings with inhuman cruelty an
barbarity are practiced without a wor
of protest from those who pose a
critics of the action of the soldiers. Hi
holds that those outrages ore no excns.
for permitting cruelties in the Philip
pines , but considers that they should uct
to control the language of those senators
and congressmen representing states
where action * are winked at which are
n dlngraco to the civilization of the
people of the United States.
Sioux City commission men see relief
In sight for the people who have boon
compelled to dig deep for the price of
their beef Btoak nud the coal with
which to cook it. The relief will en
force n vegetable nud fruit diet , but
this will bo welcome , ospeoinlly in the
snmmer time , to n largo number of pee
ple. It is said that potatoes are now

they may soon be purchased for n quar

grapes will bo cheaper , but strawberries
will continue high and scarce , because
the vines were burned out last Hummer.
This is a pleasing picture for those who

lidro to tell the little Americans in con
gress , not only that the American sol
diers are gentlemen , but thnt the Filipino
pine people appreciate what the Amer- .
3ans have douo for thorn and are urn-
itious to become Americans. Aud the
itatemeut comes from Aguinaldo him-
elf that if the Filipino people had real-
/.ed what the Americans would do for
.hem . there would have boon no opposi-
ion to their occupancy of the islands ,
t may appear strange that some Amer-
cnns have to bo told thnt this is n flue
ouutry nnd supports a civilized govern-
nent by these ono time enemies and
eprcseutatives of an inferior race , but
hero are some very queer people who
mjoy the distinction of being Ameri

Rev. George Armor Fair , pastor of
ho Immanuel Baptist church nt Sioux
City is of the evident belief thnt Sunday
outings nro beneficial. Ho considers
that "people who receive n small salary
nnd who are shut up all week need a
little fresh air ouco a week. " It is not
unlikely that a broad construction of
the intent of the scriptures that Sunday
should bo n dny of rest would enable
many to see that rest for a person who
is kept in the house all week would be
an outing on Sunday , while the contrary
would be true of those whose employ
ment keeps them out of doors during
the week. Such n construction would
not necessarily mean that those who go
on an outing should indulge in boisterous
sports or dissipation. An outing may
be of n geuteol sort and in that way re
ceive the sanction of many modern
churches. It is not improbable that
churches in the near future will attempt
to bring their work into conformity
with the Sunday outing spirit nnd carry
on their work so that religion nnd out
door rest may be had together. This is
possible at camp meetings and chantan-
quas now but those are only for re
mote neighborhoods nnd for but two or
three Sundays during the summer at
that.
In n lengthy editorial last week the
Madison Mail names Hon. W. J. Brvan
for the fusion nomination for gover
nor , explaining its reason for so doing.
Mr. Bryan was interviewed at Lincoln
regarding the matter and while denying
that he is n candidate , the interview is
couched in language to indicate that he
would not refuse such a nomination
if it was offered by the fusion parties.
It has been expected that this was the
plan of the party leaders , ns they were
so careful in keeping their names from
being connected with an office which
they knew could not be their's inasmuch
as it was necessary for he who assumes
to be dictator of the party's policy to
win some sort of standing by at least
carrying an election for governor in his
home state. A weak point in the Mail's
nomination is thus expressed : "The
Mail sees no force in the argu
ment that the republicans will flood the
state with money to defeat Mr. Bryan.
If they can defeat him with money they
certainly can defeat n weaker candidate
with a less sum of money , nud they
cnn defeat any candidate with a suf
ficient amount of money. " It Is weak
in that it is a slam at the voters
who are expected to support Mr. Bryan ,
intimating that they are purchasable
cattle , and will bo bought regardless of
the principals they claim to support and
regardless of the candidate who may be
named. If the fusiouists are pur
chasable and there is anyone who will
desire their puschase it is the wing of
the democratic party opposed to Mr.
Bryan's policies. They will readily see
thnt by his defeat for governor he will
be successfully removed from the party
leadership or any possibility of being
the democratic nominee in 1004. If the
state is flooded with money and the
fnsionists are bought the purchase price
will undoubtedly come from snch a
source.

Sonntor Dietrich may be a young man

Appearances are that "VV. M. Robert

pearances are deceitful ho is a good ,
strong second , anyway , and crowding
the leader in an uncomfortable manner.

The democrats make the charge that
the government is endeavoring to sup
press information concerning the
American army in the Philippines. The
democrats certninlyKexert themselves ,
If not to suppress , at least to discredit ,
anything in favor of the army or the
government coming from those islands.
There wns evidently something wrong
with the head of the ticket in Oregon for ,
whereas the demoorntio candidate for
[ overuor was elected by a majority of
letweon one and two thousand votes ,
; he republicans elected the balance of
: heir state ticket nud their candidates
for congress by pluralities ranging
.round the 10,000 mark , and both houses
if the legislature will be republican.
Nebraska republicans can avoid a show
ing of this kind by nominating W. M.
Robertson for governor.
The Lodge Philippine bill has passed
: ho senate , and it has ngniu been passed
up to time to demonstrate that the re
publican policies in regard to the Phil-
ppines nre the best , nnd this it will cer-
ainly do. The democrnts with one ex-
jeptiou voted ngainst the measure.
This exception wns Senator McLnurin
of South Carolina , who has been with
; he republicans on their expansion ideas
over since the question came up. If
there is one feature of the passage of the
bill more pleasing than another it is the
thought that perhaps for n time speeches
on the fioor of thnt high body will not
be made in denunciation of the Ameri
can soldier and in support and praise of
his Tngalog enemy.
The astonishing news is given in the
World-Herald that the Boer delegates
to the pence conference "wrote their
names quietly. ' ' It had been considered
thnt they would ride in on their
chargers , smash the furniture nnd at
tach their names to the important docu
mentwith , a Galling gun , or that they
would be brought in in chains , raving
wild and after yelling at the top o _
their voices nnd dancing the Boer war
dance would have accomplished the
signing of the nrticles , but a grent daily
informs its readei that they wrote quietly
and a terrible suspense is relieved.
If they had only seized their trenchant
pens with on iron grasp and flourished
them abont their heads for & time o :
two and then signed with a worm ,
sizzling sound , no astonishment would
be felt , but that they signed quietly i 1B
almost beyond belief and the peopl B
have the World-Herald to thank that i
had a special correspondent on the
ground and a cable hired to inform the
public that they "wrote their name
quietly. "
The impression seems to have been
given currency in some ports of th e
state that W. M. Robertson is in th Q
race for governor to be retired in favo r
of some other candidate after the ballot
ing begins. It is safe to presume thn lt ;
this story has been circulated by thos
who nre opposed to the north Platt
candidate. While it would be presnmp
tions and impossible for Mr. Robertson
to hold his supporters under nn ire
clad promise that they should vote fo
him and no ono else during the conveu
tion and few delegations would .submit
to any such dictation he does desire
that his friends should stay by him as
long as there is any hope for his nomination i-
i11
nation , which his backers believe will
11d
be until he is nominated ; but if it should
develop that there is no chance of the
nomination coming to Mr. Robertson he
will undoubtedly favor his supporters
going to the candidate next in their per
sonal favor. Friends of Mr. Robertson
who are thoroughly acquainted with him
emphatically deny that he has any
thing of the machine-man attributes !
and they know him to be sincerely in
earnest in his canvass for the position
of the republican candidate for gover
nor.
Order-to Engineers and Pump
men Goes Into Effect.
DOTH SIDES ARE STANDING FIRM
Ufc of Organized Labor Is at Stake.
Should Strikers Gain the Day It
Means Vast Destruction to the
Mines Furnace Workers Strike.
Wllkesbarre , Pa. , Juno 2. The be-
sinning of what Is looked upon as a
moot Important week in the progress
of the anthracite coal miners' Btrlko
finds the entire region in an apprehen
sive mood. The order of the United
Mine Workers of America calling out
all the stationary engineers , firemen
and pumpmen unless the companies
grant them an eight hour day at preo-
cnt wages goes Into effect today arid
no one can foretell the outcome of the
now move. Victory for eitker aide
will bo of immense advantage and
both parties to the controversy arc
striving with nil the power at their
command to win. If the union suc
ceeds in shutting down the companies ,
the mine properties will suffer dam
age that may reach into millions of
dollars , and if the employers should
bo able to keep the water out of their
works without the hid of organized
labor it means that the power of the
union in the mining region has
reached its limit and that all help In
the effort to force the mine owners to
grant the demands for the army of
147,000 men must come from some
outside source.
Three-fourths of the firemen , engi
neers 'and pumpmen employed at the
1C collieries In the Mulmnoy valley
quit work In response to the call of
the miners' organization for an eight-
hour day.
Garrisoning the Mines.
The methods which have been adopt
ed with regard to the nonunion men
who take the places of strikers is not
known. Practically all the nonunion
men to be employed are now In the
region. An army of approximately 3-
0.00 armed Coal and Iron policemen ,
sworn in under a law of the state , Is
in the field , ready to protect these
men and the mining properties.
Every colliery in the coal belt has
either a board or a barbed wire fence
around It. At some of the mines
"camp" cars are lying on the siding
for the 'accommodation ' of the non
union men , most of whom will live
within the colliery confines during the
suspension. '
About 20 officers , in charge of a
coal company agent , boarded a trolley
car at the Hazleton house for Free-
land last evening. The streets of the
city were crowded and when the ofil-
cers came in sight about 500 men
nished at them , hissing and yelling.
It was feared the crowd would attaclc
the officers nnd trouble would un
doubtedly have occurred had not
Chief of Police Ferry and his men
held the excited strike sympathizers
back until the car left. As * the car
started the yelling and hissing was
resumed. Two of the imported men
remained in the city and as they pro
ceeded through the crowd under po
lice protection were hooted. The ten
servant girls at the Hazelton house ,
where some of the officers are quar
tered , immediately after the episode ,
quit their posts , with declarations that
they would not wait upon the im
ported men.
FURNACE WORKERS QUIT WORK.
Operators Claim the Strike Is Prac
tically Defeated.
Pittsburg , June 2. The blast fur
nace operators of the Shenango and
Shamokin valleys feel confident that
the strike of furnace workers , inau
gurated yesterdayis practically de
feated. The operators say ten of the
30 furnaces are working and claim to
have new men ready to take the
places of all strikers. No effort was
made to extend the strike to the Pitts
burg district , the leaders say , because
in some instances superintendents of
furnaces asked for more time and ar
ranged for conferences during the
week.
Reports to the furnace owners say
four furnaces of the National Steel
company at Youngstown and three at
Newcastle of the same company , are
operating. Also one of the Sharon
Steel company at Sharon and two of
the W. P. Snyder company at Sharps-
ville. Twenty of the other furnaces
in the valleys are banked. The strike
leaders claim that most of the valley
furnaces are closed down. Thomas H.
Fllnn , the Federation of Labor organ
izer , who has charge of the strike ,
says that unless concessions are
made the strikers' ranks will be
doubled within a week.
Will Vote on Socialism.
Denver , June 2. Today's session
will be the most important of the
Western Federation of Labor and the
Western Miners' union. The matter
of the adoption of socialism or of in
dependent political action will come
up in both conventions and It is ex
pected that a vote will bo taken before
adjournment for the day. President
Boyco and some of the other leaders
predict a victory for socialism , but
It Is estimated that this will not carry
ivlthout much opposition.
