The fact that the national convention
are Irat 18 months ahead has spurred
the democrats to renewed efforts toward
discovering the loplcal candidate'for
their party during the coming national

position are being discovered it is nou
too long in which to disclose the needed
loader.

The money in circulation in the
United States on December 1 was $2,353.-

This is a greater amount than has ever

This is certainly against the opinion o

democrats have hold , a large circulation
of money will prevent hard times.

A Vermont dispatch states that a
young worain was blinded while weep

by getting some of the powder from her

either not weep and run it Into their

Some democrats pose as free traders

The report that the legislators tribn

lopublicaii of that city , which , in reply
o such an insinuation by THIS NKWS
says : "Tho DAILY NKWS is mistaken i

A remarkable experiment is reported
by Dr. Burrows of Bollovno hospital iu
Now York. A woman , recently a
mother , was dying of blood poisoning ,
her temperature being 108 and her cir

the most eflluiout of antiseptics , and the
physician determined on a desperate

of formaline into her left arm. The ef

woman recovered. The doctor is pursuing -

of such an injection on animals.

If leading democrats continue to insist
hat their party can only bo successful
hrongh a recurrence of hard times ,
many of their followers will hope and
work for such a condition with increas
fervor. There are a lot of demo
crats and other people , however , who
would prefer to retain prosperous con
ditions , rather than have a democratic
victory , with the panicky results that
followed the last national success of that
party. There will bo found iu the
country a whole lot of voters who do
not care what party is in power so that
the government is well conducted and
there are prosperous couditions for the
people.
It is reported from Washington that
the chairman of the judiciary com
initteo has introduced a resolution iu

and coal mines in the Uuitod States
and all Hues of trausportatiou agencies

There are numerous people iu the conn

being fanciful , who consider that tin
time is at hand when the govurnmeu
should govern , or delegate that power U
some of the larger corporations , an
the sooner it is determined which is to
bo supreme the sooner will the people
Know to whom they must own alle
giance. This action of the chairman of
the judiciary committee is the most
sensational that has been presented to
the people in many years and there are
those who will hope that the govern-
moiit may have now power and now
significance from this time on.
Some of the friends of the measure
for the rehabilitation of the Norfolk
hospital for the insnuo had judged from
the reports from Lincoln that ono ohC
joct of the Boars resolution was to prevent -
vent an appropriation for this purpose ,
Mr. Mommlngor objected that the reso
lution was rather broad inasmuch an
the state had Buffered the loss of the
penitentiary and the asylum at Norfolk ,
both of which ought to bo rebuilt. Mr.
Sears explained that the intention was
not to ont off appropriations , but only
to make provisions for paying before
the bills wore panned. lie agreed that
for the time being it would out off re
pairs , but there was no use going ahead
with anything until the revenue had
boon scoured , This explanation was
evidently satisfactory to the supporters
of the rebuilding bills as many of them
wore registered in support of the Soars
resolution , which carried by a vote of 70
for to 17 against. Therefore no bills
appropriating money can bo passed to
their third reading until the matter of
rovonno is provided for.
Robert Armstrong , 20 years of ago
and the youngest man over appointed to
the assistant secretaryship of the treas
ury , is a living exponent of the fact that
the door of opportunity is not cloned to
the young men of America. Seven
years ago Mr. Armstrong was working
for | 8 a week on a Dos Moines news
paper , and ho now occupies ono of the
most responsible positions in the country.
Ho has boon onorgotlo , and though hemet
mot with many discouragements ho has
porsiated until ho has advanced to an
enviable position. What Mr. Arm
strong has douo , other young men may
do , if they will but aim high enough
and permit nothing to discourage them.
AH a young inau Mr. Armstrong lacked
porslatanco and was inclined to switch
from thin to that. His employer en
deavored to teaoh him to complete what
was undertaken. Ono morning at
breakfast ho made an attempt to Hpoar a
paucako with hid fork and finding that
they wore beyond his roach sot back in
his chair and waited for them to bo
passed , His employer advised no ono
to pass the cakes ; that if they wore not
worth getting they were not worth
having. Yonng Armstrong got the
cnkcB and ho also received a lesson that
has influenced his entire career. When
ho has started to accomplish something
ho has gone at it with energy and an
intention of succeeding. A pancake
loseon would bo valuable to many other
young men.

County Superintendent 0. W. Cram
is endeavoring to have the , compulsory
attendance law , passed by the legisla
ture of two years ago , enforced in this
county. Several previous efforts have
boon made by legislatures to pass such
a law but they have boon ineffective
and iuoporativo. Mr. Orum thinks the
law now on the books is a good ono ,
and thereia no question but that it
should bo enforced. It provides that
nil children between the ages of 7 and
M years must attend some school two-
thirds of the time that the school is
taught in the district of the child's resi-
deuce. It provides a fine of not loss
than $5 against any parent failing to
comply with its provisions. Children
residing more- than two miles from the
school honso are exempt. In the [ Janu
ary issue of the School News Mr. Or urn
says :
"Last month I sent ont notices in the
form of circular letters to 301 families
whoso children hod attended less than
two-thirds of the time school had boon

rectors , who are truant officers , to he
served on such parents. There were
352 delinquent children in these fami
lies. Those notices went to 61 districts.
There were 2Gj districts that bad not
had enough school to require .notices ;
they will bo notified this week.

A few of the replies received by the
uperintendont are published. Ono of

mr children , and we don't know as UP
\uy of your business whether they at-
end school or not. Wo will take care
if our children and you will have all
ron con do to take core of yours. " Of
ho replies the superintendent says :
'Some speak kindly , others show irrlta
ion. Some make good excuses ; sonu
criticise the county superintendent ;
others the teacher ; while others criti
cise the school board. It is the object
of Jtho News to bring those differing
interests closer together , and ofllcors
better acquainted with each other and
their work. The county superinten
dent is not above criticism. Ho wautf-
to be criticised. Ho has all these inter
ests and individuals to moot and deal
with , Ha has made mistakes , and wil
make moro. The man who makes nr
mistakes ia dead , and wo are very ranch

by the children of the county as the

It is apparent that some newspapers

the pope will live too long to permit
their use of the story of his death.
When they do not have him sick and

them by passing away in advance of

Perhaps on the whole it would bo just

Some of the democrats think that the
manufacturer should not bo consulted
regarding any proposed tariff changes.
In this instance they are probably con
sistent. It is not difficult to believe
that the importer , the agent of the
foreign mannfactmor , was the man
whom the democrats consulted when
they were last in control of the national
administration , anyway it was ho and
his foreign backers who were benefited ,
if anyone. The people of this country ,
manufacturers , producers and con
sumers were far from being pleased
with the results of the democratic ex
periment aud would much prefer that
the American mauufactnror < _ shonld be

It is occasionally allowable to present
figures that indicate prosperity else the
people might forgot that times are tiny
bettor than they wero. The Massachu
setts state labor bureau presents some in
teresting figures under this head. The
level of population , employment and
earnings in February , 1898 , is given at
100. For October , 1002 , the following
figures are noted : In population ,
110.03 ; in employment , 117.77 ; in earn
ings , 142 27. It will be soon that em
ployment has increased much more
than population and earnings much
moro than employment. In fact , wages
have increased nearly 50 per cent since
1898 , and far more than 50 per cent as
compared with 18UG.
For a real strenuous logislatve session
the people are advised to look toward

The republicans opened hostilities by
throwing some democrats through the
transom and the senators tossed a bunch
of republican members of the upper

It is noticed that many merchants do
not give proper credit to customers who
pay cash for what they buy. 1 ho cus
tomer who runs an account of $20 to $40
a month is given greater credit than
one who spends that much cash , because
at the eud of the mouth the merchant
\
realizes just how much the credit man *
has purchased and if he is at nil good
when U comes to payment he is deter
mined a good customer while the cus
tom of the cash man is ignored. Just
the opposite should be the cose. The
cash customer deserves the best that is
to bo given while the merchant realizes
that many customers who ask credit are
not entitled to a place on his books.
The cash customer is naturally inde
pendent and one merchant is not likely
to corner his trade unless he makes
peaial efforts to invite that class of
custom , but when a merchant does se
cure such a customer it should bo to his
uterost to retain him. The bill of a
credit customer is frequently discounted ,
while the man who pays the cash is
charged full price. The man who runs
an account is likewise , very frequently ,
given greater accomodations than the
ono who pays cash. People who pay
ash under these conditions are fre
quently induced to run an account and
the result sometimes is that a good cash
customer is converted into a poor credit
customer and the merchant may bo letdown
down for quite an account finally.
