The World-Herald cannot be shown
that Mr. Mickey IB a farmer because he
no longer follows the plow or hoes corn.
Perhaps the World-Herald editor , isn't
a printer because he doesn't pot typo and
feed the hand press. The people , will
probably consider Mr. .Mickey more of , a
farmer than they would Mr. Bryan. , who
had himself photographed in high-top
boots , overalls and. . a broad brimmed hat
during the last presidential campaign.
Tliero is n difference between being a
farmer no longer compelled to farm aud
n retired politician who never farmed.
A couple of David Oity mon have

money each month for a certain length
of time he can draw u purse of money

he cnn find a girl who will consent.
The scheme will undoubtedly prove
most seductive to love-lorn swains who )
would be sorely dissapointed should it t
not happen to pan out.
An intoxlcatedEnglishinan in Bston

insult Americans , in Boston. Because
Senator Hoar doesn't'toko ' kindly to the
doings of the American army is .no in
dication that tbo people of Massa
chusetts will stand for an in suit from 'a
drunken Englishman. Americans'may
eay mean things about themselves. , but
they will not submit to similar treat

The scoundrel who caught Beatrice at

A newspaper may be ridiculed and
the people may wish to toll the editor
how to conduct ouo successfully or may
attempt to believe that it would not , bo
missed were it to suspend , but if for
any cause the publication is delayed
and delivery is not made at the usual
hour , the publisher has some oppo'r
( unity to learn of the estimation in
whiqh his publication is hold , by the
oft-repeated nnd solicitous inquiries as
$ o w.hiU is the reason of the delay nnd
as to when the
difficulty can bo rem
edied and the paper distributed. It is
one of the few opportunities that the
editor has of ascertaining that ; his work
i.u the community is appreciated. Those
publishers who never had n gnsoliu
engine or other hitch in issuing should
rnnico one some day or some week just

The democrats , who are endeavoring
to resurrect the tariff corpse were mor6
than anxious to dodge such nu issue in
180G. It would have been cts i'mpos-
Bible to have got them to make the camN
paign on tfyo tariff'issue , that year asit
would bo to induce them to accept the
free . . nnd nnlimited coinage of silver , at
the * ratio of .10 to 1 without the ] aid .or
consent of any nation onTenrth , as the ,
paramount issue in 1004. They may be
willing to go down to defeat m democ
racy's . cause but they nfo not willing to
go' . at a speed and certainty that would
sink their party into the'gnlf , of oblivion
never to be resurrected. They may be able
to figure it out that the tariff issue will
lot them down easy , , , but the American
people of tvoting age are inclined to
think differently.
The republican congressional commit
tee expect to turn loose , a large number
of orators in Nebraska this coming
campaign and they , will depend more
on oratory than on literature to swing
doubtful districts into line for the
ticket , Perhaps many of the voters
will bo pleased to listen to speeches on
political subjects , but. as fnr as argu
ment for the republican ticket is con
cerned : , the best is evident to nil , and
thnt is the existing conditions of general
prosperity and the evident intention on
the part of republicans to conduct the
nnfl of the country in a manner that
will bo nccoptnble to the people. The
matter of conducting the campaign
should bo an easy ono for the repub-
licans. It is the democrats who have
the wofy and planning for a reason-
ably successful campaign coming.
An Illinois veteran who has , a con
science as sensitive.as the exposed.nerye
of a decayed tooth recently wrote to Mr.
Ware , commissioner of pensions , in the
following strain : "I1 am now getting a
pension of $80 a month. Recently the
Lord has prospered me , and I do not ;
think , I should get so 'much money , I
gaje rny.serv'iqe to the country , and -J
thbkl ehould have some , pension-
course , bntI , , think $3Q a month is too
much. la there.any way.I can.have . my
pension reduced or suspended while I
enjoy the prosperity that is mine at
preterit-
This IB the only request fora reduc-
on of pension e'v.er received by.th'e '
bureau. It was referred to the pension
examiner in the district which the man
lived , who reported ai follows' ' : : "I have
the honor to inform you that the
persdn who applied for reduction in bis
pension is now in the insane asylum at
this place , and has been , for some time. "
On June J , 1000 , according to. the re
pent cen > ns there were 121 ,635 farnm in
Nebraska , valued at : $577,600,020. The
value of implements and farm machin
ery is given at $2-1,040,450 and. that of
live stock is placed at 1145,840 87 ,
which makes a total , value of the farpis
of the state of fMTiflOO.OS ? * The total
value : of form products for 1809 was
found to bo $ lG2eJO,3SO , this value be
ing greater than that for I860 by ? 05-
858,700 , being a gain since that time of
more than 148 per cent. The average
value of farms is given at &l,763and the
gross income is given at 10.7 percent.
These figures furnish a wonderful state
ment of the wealth of Nebraska farmers.
much vaunted wealth of some of the
millionaires is not so great'when the
wealth of tbo formers of ono state is
considered as a whole.

The World-Herald calls upon THE

from the Lincoln correspondent of the

why should the Monitor's .pessimism
allow it to imagine that Mr. "McCarthy

dently does not know , what it is talking

was.not nominated by the convention
which adopted the plank that tbo sugar
trust and its supporters bavo seen , fit to
interpret as , a slap at the beet , sugar in

The democrats of the house of repre
sentatives at Washington have decided
thnt there should be three pnrnmount
issues during the coming campaign the
tariff , the trusts and the failure , of the
republican administration , to make n re
ciprocity arrangement with Caba. That
good old tariff issue of the democrats has
been adjusted to the satisfaction of the
people , who once gave that party per
mission to change it but will never do so
again not until the democratic panic is
forgotten. The democrats may make a
big howl about the trusts , but they
never have and never , will do more to
protect the people from unjust trust
exaotiouB than has the republican party ,
and the'party in power will conle pretty
n ar to regulating the trusts when it
undertakes to do so. The democrats
might have had a pretty fair issue
from , that point of yiew in the .failure
of. a reciprocity ttrrancement with .Cuba
That would be their forte working for
the sugar trust and against n growing
, Ameriban industry , but unfortunately
for them , the republicans are. not lined
up unanimously oh either Bide of , thq
question and until the-party in power
reaches au agre&rnont they will be fight
ing only a portion of it. If the demo
crats in congress 'had joined with the
administration a reciprocity bill would
undoubtedly have been passed at the
late Cession in splte of the .opposition of
a.number of republicans. If this ip the
democratic program , for .the campaign
the people ot the country mny be justi
fied in wondering what has. become/of /
thnt other paramount issue of imperial
ism and of opposition to the republican
policy in regard to the Philippines. 'It
was ' supposed that .such an .issue was so
paramount ? that it ; would live in the
democratic . . . party for generations , unless
it , was settled according to their express
ed . ideas. If it has joined the free silver
issue so soon it will be a sad disappoint
ment to those who have studied and
prepared . to lay down the law regarding
imperialism and the indefensible efforts
,
of . the administration regarding the Fil
ipinos.
