The fusionists would like uothing bet
ter than to be able to turn the strike
situation iu Nebraska to an advantage
in their campaign. .
Some of the southern portions of the
state are congratulating themselves over
having secured a rain. They are welcome
to it. What we want up here is warm
bright sunshine.
The census bureau has found thai
.there are 2,631,383 more bachlors in the
United States than there are spinsters
and most of them , in proportion , are iu
the west. This indicates an unpardon
able fault of the calendar makers in hav.
ing leap years so far apart.
Iowa is again confronted by a Oooc
situation. The sister state on the east
tias many desirable qualities but it
has been going to such extremes during
several years that some people of this
state would not exchange Nebraska for
two states like Iowa. Stand up for Ne
braska.
It is feared that King Alfonso of Spain
is beginning to give evidence of n weak
mind. Is it any wonder ? The king had
u wcnk constitution to begin on and
with the weighty affairs of state thrust
upon him when ho should be on the play
ground or in the gymnasium , is it sur
prising that ho should develop occeu-
tricties ? Perhaps the back-number
European nations will sometime see to
it that Inheritance sball not choose their
ruler , but that he will be selected by
the people , with development , fitness
and ability as his qualifications.
The American navy cannot seem to get
up a scrap with the navy of any foreign
country and lias therefore divided
itself and will participate in amirnio
battle , Just for fun and to keep in prac
tice. The attacking ileet will bo under
command of Commander John E. Pillsbury -
bury and the defense of 250 miles of
coast line will be by Admiral Francis
J. H. Aigglnson. Hero's hoping that the
best side wins. The country can loose
nothing either way. If the attacking
force can make a successful raid on the
coast it is safe to bet that it could make
as successful an attack on the coasts of
any other country. If the defense
againet the Pillsbury ileet is good it is
safe to wager your last copper that no
other ileet would be capable of conduct *
ng a successful attack.
In civilized communities it has lately
> een the endeavor to shut out anything
and everything of a graft nature on the
occasion of public entertainments. In
vivid contrast to this determination is
an event planned to take place at Syd
ney where they are evidently looking
for trouble in connection with an approaching
preaching street fair and carnival.
They advertise that everything will be
wide open and bid for the attendance
of grafters , who will bo protected. As
an inducement their ad reads : "The
best over five big days , and commenc
ing on railroad pay day ; 600 men adver
tised for iDO miles. " This probably ex
ceeds anything of the wild and wooly
west days , where such things have been
permitted but never bid for. In addi
tion to the railroad men there are
soldiers and Indians in the neighbor
hood and if there isn't plenty of excite
ment of the kind it will not be the
fault of the promoters.
Deputy Labor Commissioner Wntson
estimates that there will bo a gain of
something more than two million pounds
in Nebraska's sugar output during the
coming campaign and his estimate is be
lieved to be very conservative. Last year
the output was 14,912,800 pounds and he
estimates that this year with au acreage
of 11,193 and ten tons of twelve per cent
beets to the acre the product will be 1C-
739,500. The crop has been putting
forth a wonderful growth , especially in
this section of the state , and with favor
able weather to close the season on and
put the sugar into the roots it is probable
that the labor commissioner's estimate
will be greatly exceeded. This will giro
to those who have been inclined to sneer
at the importance of Nebraska's sugar
industry something to.thiuk about. It
certainly should indicate that the state
has a much greater interest in the beet
sugar industry than it has in Havemey-
er's refining trust , Stand up for Ne
braska ,
