That moral ct millions In Norfolk are improving somewhat Is proof positive that someone has boon at fault and neg ligent of their duties for some time past. The improvement is very satisfactory to the cltf/.ons in gouoral. The Newman Grove Reporter displays n rooster for Memmlngor and It crows very lustily for the louo winner on the fusion ticket in the county. It is a loosing CIUIRO , indeed , that can Hud uoihlng to rejoice over. Messrs. Thompson and Mickey Imvo set a good example to their followers by shaking hnmU by wire. Perhaps it would bo just as well for everyone to subordinate politicnl differences for n while- and stand up for Norfolk. There is said to bo moro suinllpox In the stntos of Ponnsylvnula nnd Ohio than In any of the other states of the union. Nohrns-kn has had n run of the disease in seasons past that should on * title it to exemption for a year or two. The fact thnt Mnjor Genornl Corblu considers the nriny cnutoen vnlunblo to tbo discipline of the army will have no effect with these who started out to ro * form the soldiers in this particular. They will ( imply assert thnt the geuornl doesn't know whnt ho is talking about nnd allow it to go at that. W. H. Thompson to J. H. Mickey : "Accept congratulations and my best wishes.

" "Big Bill" Davery of Now York calls David Bennett Hill "tho C human ice box.

Ever go into the market on a cold morning and pick up a fish ? Yes ? Then yon have shaken hands with Hill. " Again it has boon demonstrated that Mr. Bryan's logic does not'Jstiok. The states where ho made his greatest efforts failed to heed his advice aud warnings. Utah and Colorado wont' republicau and Nebraska remained on the right side of the fence. Thoeuomy'scountry , where ho failed to appear , approached the nearest to n return to democracy , bnt Hill , Cleveland , Morgan , et al. are entitled to credit for whatever changes were made in conditions there. In 1888 there were but 1,010 tons of beet sugar produced in the United States. In 1003 the boot sugar produc tion had advanced to 70,859 tons and 'one year later , in 1001 , it had almost trebled that productlbn and 185,000 tons of beet sagar were made in this country. With this phenomenal in crease the sugar refining trust is dissat isfied and the effort is being made to in duce the American congress to deal this developing industry ono of the most dis natrons blows in Its power. The competition for grain is reaching serious dimensions in the vicinity of Ash ton , whore a neighboring grain dealer is accused of burning one elevn- I- tor nnil attempting to destroy iinothor. It may lie presumed thut wlioro comjio * tltion becomes this kron thnt tlio farm ers uro bonolltcd by tlio bent prices ob- tiuimblo initl it in far moro profitable to producers than where elevators and grain nion nro in n cnnibiniitloii to pre vent tlio coinpotitloii that would ordi narily result.

They can yet learn a few lessons from tlio chamber of com * morco at Olmuotz , Moravia , wlioro , to prevent tlio election of Burgomaster Brnndhubrr as president , the minority nttondod the session armed with clubs mil cudgels , but their trump card con sisted of n number of "stlnlc bombs" loaded with chloride of limo , Hulphurio acid and nitrio acid. When these were fired the stench in t'ho hall was horrlblo and llglits were numerous. The Gor man majority llnally won. Are domocraoy's eyes opoii ? Do they not see thnt the foroiblo returning to their homos of the Douklmbor fanatics by tho'Oanadian ofllcials and the army could bo mrulo into n parnmonnt issno to abont the same extent as the Boor question tion in South Africa ? The idea of people who had started out to reform the world and w ro looking for their Messiah being forcibly stopped and re turned to their homos by force is enough to draw forth n protest , long and emphatic from these who cheerfully preach personal rights and liberty on all occasions wlioro' the law and the government interfere. The republicans have certainly cap tured the legislature , there being 28 republicans - publicans in the sounto to live for the fusionlsts. The prospoots are that the louse , will bo composed of 80 republi cans , with 18 fnsionlsts. The republi cans will have full swing and they should reward the confidence the people lave reposed in them by doing the busi ness to bo transacted with neatness and [ llspatch. They have a responsibility which should bo discharged with credit o themselves and honor to the party. The minority should not be able to in terfere to an extent thnt will bo a block n the way of the majority and the people are justified in expecting largo results from the body. The vice chairman of the democratic state ocmuiittoo thinks that if everyone had voted , the farmers , especialy , the result would have boon different. With the republican gains showing up in country districts and the fusion gains in the towns and cities it is not under stood how Mr. Scott can figure it that way. The farmers are not as foolish as some of the fusionists believe they nro. The evidence of the returns is that they were not ready to tnke n slap at the ad ministration under which they have known the greatest prosperity over ex perienced. They were well satisfied and proposed to lot the people and the reat of the country know it. It would be safe to gamble that if the vote had boon ont in full the republican majority would have been larger than it was. Two Presidents. A great coal strike threatened dire disaster in the United States. Settle ment seemed impossible. Then Theodore Roosevelt , pushing aside the advice of political friends , dis regarding all precedent , put one hand on the shoulder of Labor and the other on the shoulder of Capital and made the two shake hands. A great coal strike has long threat ened both prosperity and social order in Prance. The conditions are almost pre cisely similar to these In this country. President Lonbot is supine. He re mains passive until the' parliamentary body can take the matter up. The strike In Franco drags its long length through succeeding days , entailIng - Ing misery , loss and disorder. That is the difference between Presi dent Roosevelt and President Loubot. Omaha News , Independent. It Is now unlawful to dope butter with water , milk or buttermilk , In order to receive pay for something that is not butter. The law went into effect July 1 and provides that when moro than 10 percent of these fluids is found in butter the maker or the shipper shall be sub * jeotod to a penalty. The punishment is severe enough to warrant the use of pre caution that the limit may not bo ex * coeded- The addition of any substance the excessive use of salt for instance , to make butter weigh more than it should also brings it under the provisions against adulteration and exacts severe penalties. By this law the consumer of butter is fairly well protected , but it ia sometimes the case at this season of the year that any butter is acceptable the main question being to keep a supply of the sprendiiblo on hand. T. G. Palmer hands this logic to these who would Import Cuban sugar for the boni'llt of the refiners'trust and to the detriment of the American beet sugar industry : "If the American Htcol cor poration purchased HH raw material from foreign minus and blast furnaces , imported it and simply romolted it and run it into shapes for the American market , and was endeavoring to crush out the American minors and blast fur nace men and prevent the expansion of the industry in America , the case would bo analogous to the present economical position of the sugar trust and Its llgh against the rapidly developing boot sugar industry. How long would the American people play into the hands of the stool trust under such circnm stances ? Considering natural advant ages , there is no moro reason why the United States should continue Indefi nitely to send abroad for its sugar than that it should send abroad for Its iron and steel. " The non-acceptance of that ambas sadorship to Urn7.il by D. E. Thompson of Lincoln , gave rise to the rumor thnt Senator Dietrich was to resign his po sition and Thompson was to bo ap pointed in his place bnt the rumor has been "queered" by Mr. Thompson's ac ceptance of tlio appointment , which ho has recently given out but does not state when ho will assnmo the dut ies of the position. The appoint ment of Mr. Thompson may have two meanings. One is the desire to promote republican harmony In the state and the other to got him out of the way during future campaigns. The appoint ment will bo supported by the republi cans on either count. It is apparent that with the opposition ho has aroused whenever he took a hand In politics that ho could uovor bo of use to the party and ho may do it no harm if lo cated in Brazil. Reports roach THE NEWS that some of the liquor dealers of the oity object to the fact that this paper is advocating a bettor condition of city government , and they are making throats as to what they will do to THE NEWS as n punish ment. It is surprising to know that nuy man , no matter what business ho is en gaged in , should want to uphold the condition of lawlessness that has pre vailed hero lately. Quo would think that saloon men especially would bo glad to have the toughs , cut throats and robbers cleared out of the city , because from the very nature of their business the proseuco of this class of people must necessarily nmko them more or loss trouble. But if the saloon men want to rush to the defense of an administration that will permit of these atrocities being com mittcd , that uudoubtoly is their privilege. It would bo bettor for them to remain discretely silent , however , knowing as they do that there is scarcely a saloon in town where the provisions of the Sloonmb law are strictly enforced. The republican party was retained in power in Nebraska , the people thereby indicating that they consider the party as worthy of their trust. The party has assumed a responsibility that is no light ono. Its friends have assorted that the people would receive Jthe consideration they deserve and require , if this proved to be the result , aud it lies with officers and representatives elected to see that this promise is kept. Those who have given the party their hearty support have insisted that the candidates wore not subject to the domination of the railroads or any other corporation o individual and when questions arise in which justice to all the people is con corned it will bo expected that the railroads do not receive a greater share of consideration than any other pro portionate property owner. It is ap parent to many that the method of as sessing taxes in the state is not fair and equitable , not only where the railroads are concerned , bnt as between one prop erty owner and another , the small holder ordinarily paying a proportion ately larger share of taxes than the person or corporation having larger property interests. This is one matter that should bo adjusted and adjusted equitably. There are many others and the legislators should take it upon them selves , not to see that these who howl constantly against the railroads and corporate influence are silenced , bnt to see that the business of the state is as equitably and fairly handled as is pos sible. The republican party is careful to anticipate the wants and nends of thu people aud as long as it does so it may be reasonable to suppose that it will continue in power. The question as to whether or not the. present governor's pardon of an arch criminal should bo sustained or disapproved was never submitted to the people. The party took it In its own hands to settle that matter nnd with satisfaction to the people as the returns prove. So with other transactions of the officers and representatives. They must have the approval of the party to bo right and the party will be sustained by the people. A wise discretion should there fore be employed to see that the people receive justice during the coming two years if the policy of the party is to bo again approved at the end of that time. This cold wave Is not the sort of com fort duslrod by these who nro on their why to the head of Salt crook. The question now U whether or not the two Lincoln dailies , the Star and the Journal , will assume the same rohx * tlons ono toward the other , that the two ' Omaha dull its have held for years. I The Cincinnati Knqniror in perhaps ono of the bust pluasod democratic shuots In the country , because Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland , like wise n democrat bnt of n different sort , was covered up by the avalanche In that state. Some pciontifits recently secured 1 oO.OOO.OOO germs from n pint of mixed fruit gathered up from a fruit utand. The fruit wan washed and the washing analyzed. It ia not stated who counted the gorniH , but if there were but half that many the moral is plain wash the fruit. Nebraska's corn crop has broken the record for several years. Thirtv-two bushels per aero was the average this H' uson. Last year it was M.I , in 1000 20 and the ton-year average was 23 bushels per aero , If pork docs not become - come cheaper it will not bo because there is n lack of the staple material for increasing the product. If the railroads were responsible for the majorities in other parts of the state is it unreasonable to presume that the majority in Omaha and Douglas county was also under the thumb of the railroad managers ? It is unfair to their politicnl wisdom to presume thnt the railroads would rule in 0110 part of the state and not in the other. Omaha tobacconists propose to organ ize to fight the tobacco trust and main tain their independence. It is to bo hoped that they will win "ont'and.luoi- dentally that ; every retail tobacco mer chant In the country may realize bene fits and that the poor fellow who is compelled to spend his last cent for this necessity may reap the profit. There remain bnt n few weeks in which it is lawful to shoot prairie chickens , the season closing with Nov ember 80. Therefore those who have not had their share of shooting and eat ing should acquire it soon or they will bo compelled to curb their desire until next fall or bump up against the law as enforced by some alert game warden. The latest thing sprung by St. Louis to attract attention to the exposition city is a challenge to fight n duel issued by one of the parties to a fistic encouter in n hotel of that city. St. Louis is de termined to attract the ntteution of the world until nfter the great show , oven though it becomes necessary to engage an extra corps of sensational reporters. Stanton county continues to grope along under the haze of fusiouism after most of its neighbors have corno over to the republican column. Perhaps it is because of some differences between the republicans of the county. They should get together and endeavor to show different results by the time the 110x5 general election rolls around. The Atkinson Graphic is certainly not far out of the way when it says : ' 'Had Thompson been elected governor , Nebraska would have been a prohibi tion state in a short time. The liquor interests of the state are getting en tirely to presnmptuous Caud had they succeeded in defeating Mickey , the people ple would bavo risen up and voted them out of business at the first opportunity. " The Auburn Post thinks it likely that Edward Rosewater may come before the people in abont two years nnd re quest a United States senatorship as his reward for retiring a republican from congress and replacing him with a dem ocrat. If he does ho should bo entitled to the hearty support of the World- Herald , the editor of which has been honored through the slump of the Bee. The speaker of the state house of representatives and the president of the senate are the next matters to require the attention of politicians in Nebraska. The republicans have elected men who would fill either position with honor to themselves and credit to the state and it has likewise elected men who will see to it that the best material is chosen from their ranks to assume the re sponsible ofllces. Edgar Howard of the Columbus Tele gram has discovered that the railroads , "booted and spurred" are in the saddle in Nebraska. It was the same editor who arose in a fusion mooting as a fusion editor to announce the same con dition existed under fusion rule. It ap pears that Mr. Howard is destined to live under "railroad rule" regardless of what party is in power and ho shonldby all moans accommodate himself to the situation. Minnesota and Iowa permitted ono each of democratic congressmen to slip through , and perhaps Nebraska is not to bo censured as much as might bo other wise , for permitting Gilbert M. Hitch- cook to take n sent in the balls of con gress. It is certainly moro unbecoming on the part of the other states , whore a change from the right was permitted , while in Nebraska four fusion congress man were turned down and bnt ouo f uslonist elected in their place. The 10-year-old MHI of Gjvornor-Klect Mickey , who undoubtedly received the Inspiration from his sire to outer Into a Etrenuous controversy , didn't faro as well as his paternal ancestor. Ho en- tinged in n footbnll gixmo Monday .after noon and received n broken log ns his portion. His fnthor wns "center" in n game that put football in the shade by several degrees and ho didn't receive even so much ns a scratch. There is consolation in almost any condition if you but know how to bo optimistic nnd see the bright side of things. An eastern correspondent thinks thnt "tho ropnblicnu mnjority in the house mny not bo so Inrgo , but for thnt very ronson it should bo moro of footivo , being compelled to stnud to gothor. " It is safe to sny thnt it will uovor become n paramonut.jissuo with any of the parties to keep their major ities smnll for the reason given. They may sometime underestimate their strength nnd. throw the control over to the opposition. The World-Herald is pleased that the governor-elect of little Rhode Island is not only ajjdemocrat but ran on the Kansas City platform. It Is n small mat ter to crow over. The paper should recol lect that there were many democratic cnudidntos for governor who [ stood on the snino platform who were snowed under so deep that it will require n rotary snow plow 'to dig them out. There is some consolation [ to the now democracy , however , to think ] that the only successful democratic candidate for governor in the northern states stood on the much abused Kansas [ Oity plat form. While the democratic ticket'won ont In Missouri , as was to be expected , there was a mighty slump to the republican ticket and it can be seen that don o- cratic control ofjtho state of the big red apple is trembling in the balance. The Globe-Democrat | has heard from 35 counties , that show ] a net republican gain of 7,888 , or an average of 223 for each county and there are still 77 counties to hear from , by this test , out side of Kansas City and St. Joseph. The same paper remarks on the * sitna tiou ns follows : "If the republicans of the largo cities had made corresponding gains over their vote before they were put under cheating election laws Mis souri would bo republican today by 10,000 or 15,000. The state is republi can on a fair vote. The ring , , however , is nwaro that the majority of true votes is against it and has fortified itself generally ngniust nn honest ballot. " By the wny , has anyone seen or heard of Coin Harvey since the results were announced. There nro a large number of people who several years ago con ceived the fact that the free silver nt the ratio of 10 to 1 without the aid or consent of any nation on earth was a paramount issue and believed that Har vey wns the light to point the wny and thnt Mr. Bryan was the Moses to load them out of bondage into the prmo- ised laud of high prices and cheap money. They would bo pleased to know just where the lamp is being used and for what purpose it is shining at the present time when the people have dis covered that they no longer have need for it. Mr. Bryan is still in some evi denceJway ont here , but the man who lent inspiration to the campaign seems to have disappeared and boon forgotten. The mayor has been graciously yiald- ing to the trend of public opinion dur ing the past week and as a result matters - tors concerning the government of the ctty are assuming a much more favor able aspect. Orders have been issued by the mayor that the gambling houses shall be closed , last Sunday during the day the front doors of the saloons were closed , that evening all the doors were closed , and now it is announced that hereafter the Sunday law is to be rigIdly - Idly enforced. In the meantime , there has not been a robbery , assault or oven a flght for fully a week. The decision of the mayor to comply to public opin ion is a wise one , and will make his re maining months of tenure in office much smoother sailing. Norfolk was about as "wide open" as was possible for a town to bo and it is a source of gratification that the condition seems already materially bettered. The Lincoln Star has charged that the issuing of these fnc-similo passes al leged to have been carried by Mr. Thompson , the late fusion candidate for governor , was an inexcusable piece of politics and like seme of the fusion papers , charges that they were clumsy pieces of work , if not forgeries. The state committee is censured for using or permitting the use of evidence in timating that Thompson was under ob ligations to the railroads of the state. Chairman H. 0. Lindsay of the republi can state central committee has issued over his signature the following state ment of facts : "It has been charged that the 'Thompson cartoon' which ap peared in the Lincoln Journal and was afterward circulated by the republican state committee was a forgery. I desire to say to the republicans of Nebraska that I positively know that Mr. Thomp son , the late fusion candidate forgovor- ; tf Salt pork is a famous old- fashioned remedy for con sumption. "Eat plenty of pork , " was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea. , behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs : most. Scott'sEmulsionisthemod- ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs , Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats , especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this waywhich is often the only. Ji way , is half the battle , but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos- phites in Scott's Emulsion .hat puts new life into the veak parts and has a special , -ction on the diseased lungs , A sample will b& sent free upon request. Tie sure that this picture In the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of. Emulsion you buy. SCOTT & BOWNE , CHEMISTS , 409 Pearl St. , N.

" Perhaps - haps this will retire the question per manently , at least the fnsionists have never undertaken to deny the truths contained in Mr. Lindsay's statement , which are the main facts in the contro versy. If there is one thing evidenced by the late election it is that the opposition to republican policies is awnke nud active and it is no time for republicans to im agine that they have the enemy so badly benten thnt they will never be a- factor in politics , state or untiounl , ngnin , but they must keep the pnrty in fighting trim , prepared to meet dem ocracy at every turn. In New York , nud the reduction of the republican ma jority in congress , evidence is furnished that all that is lacking is an issue and an opportunity , to again place the * country in democracy's hands. Itwna well considered that the increased prices for farm products and the consequent prosperity of the producer would oper ate to maintain republicans power for some time to comobut it must be remem bered that in the east there are large districts the [ population of which is largely made up of consumers nnd that while the producer has.boen prospering : the consumer has been paying for his- prosperity very largely , much to his dis satisfaction. It therefore depends upon the producer and these immediately de pendent upon him to stand up in sup port of conditions as they exist or those who have been paying for it will unite to pee that conditions are reversed and that the consumer will profit to the det riment of the producer. The cry of the west was for higher prices when Mr. Bryan was at the zenith of his power. The higher prices were given and it rests with the people benefited to sup port the administration under which their desire was realized. Coldi " I had a terrible cold and could nardiy oreaihe.
