The Stanton Picket has learned that

Now that the Argo starch factory at
Nebraska City has resumed operations
and is grinding corn nt the rate of 2,000
bushels a day it is presumed that the
worry of the f uslouists regarding thnt

will help materially in disposing of
some of the surplus corn crop of last

Henry M. Teller , fusionist , has finally
been chosen to represent Colorado iu
the United States senate fora term of
six years. It was a close fight and the
candidate hadn't a vote to spare. The
signs of the times indicate that Mr.
Teller is about the last to bo chosen for
a high office whose record was made as
an advocate for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. Colorado was almost
unanimous for that innovation and it is
perhaps to be expected that it will take
some years for her to break entirely
away.
There nro people who are ready to apol

that the Tilliuans do not represent the

that state to improve the first oppor

better specimens of South Carolina

that there are bettor men to ad

John D. llockfollor , the Standard oil

Ono of Plntto county's delegates to
the legislature proposes to endeavor to
have no partiality shown in the pur
chase of voters nt any election , but de
sires that all votes shall bo paid in a
way. Looked nt from another point of
view it is a fine against these who fail
or refuse to exercise their rights of
franchise. Ho has introduced a bill pro
viding that each voter shall be assessed
a tax of $3. If he appears at the polls
and votes , the election board presents
him a receipt for the tax , but if ho re
mains awny the tax stands against his
account. The man introducing the bill
is a fnsionist and thinks that if it
should carry there would be no more
republican victories in the state aa there
would be no more stay at home fusion
votes. He might be disappointed in
the final ontcomo of his measure , ns li
has been quite conclusively shown that
there are republicans who neglect to
vote.
Senator Stewart cannot seem to un
derstand why coal thnt is purchased nt
the mines at $3.60 n ton and that costs
$1.60 cents in freight to got it to the
consumer should bo $9.25 a ton by the
time it has reached its destination.
There are other people besldo the senator -
ator who would bo pleased to know a
reasonable excuse for the charge. It
can be understood that there is n consid
erable expense in mining the fuel , that
it is worth something to its original
- owner and that it costs something to
haul it a certain distance over the rail-
road , but it is not understood why it
should almost double in price after these ;
- expenses have been met. The whole
saler may deserve something , the ro-
. toiler an additional something nud the
man who does the hauling aud hand
ling fair compensationbut { it should not
be necessary for the three to receive
almost 100 per cent over the original
cost.
'Real estate deals involving large ;

The girl who called Senator Oochrnn
a liar because ho accused the United
States of pursuing a truckling policy to
Great Britain mny havn used language
thnt is moro expressive than polite , but
there nro many who would not hositnto
to echo the sentiment in minor tones.
It is not believed that there is any ne
cessity for a truckling policy on the
part of this government to any European
nation and it is furthermore believed
thnt no such policy is employed. This
does not menu that the United States ,
should not bo friendly with any or all
of thorn. The interests of the United
States are no longer bounded by the
country's outlines. It is a world power
and as such it is the part of wisdom
that it should bo on friendly terms with
ether world powers aud if the greatest
of thorn all roooivos the larger [ degree of
friendship it is but another evidence of
wisdom on the part of this government.
England is no greater gainer by the
friendship of the United States than is
this country , if as much.
Deputy Labor Commissioner Watson
hns prepared some interesting figures
regarding tbo boot sugar industry of
ibis state that go to show that it is
rapidly developing into a loading in
dustry of the state , nud has undoubt
edly attained that position in n manu
facturing souso. Mr. Watson's figures
show that during the past year 11,103
acres of Nebraska land were devoted to
raising the saccharine vegetable , from
which was produced 22,800,000 pounds
of fine granulated sugar , 103,858 tons of
boots being worked up by the three
factories. The average price paid per
ton for beets was $5. The employes
unmborod 700 and their pay , excepting
the oillco force , amounted to $120,000.
The operation of these factories afford a
valuable aid to ether industries of the
state and country. Mr. Watson's
figures show thnt 13,000 gtons'Iof lime
stone , which were takou from the
quarries near Plattsmonth , were used.
Coke to the amount of 1,400 tons was
used nud 2-1,000 tons of coal were
.burned. The factories purchased from
the bag factory at Omaha 228,000 bags ,
aud the freight in and ont amouted to
$150,000. Of the acreage of beets pro
duced , Madison aud adjoining counties
produced 1,550 acros. The factories
consuming this product are located nt
Norfolk , Grand Island , Ames , and
South Sioux City , the latter not being
counted in the sugar production , as
its product is syrup. It is an industry
worth standing up for and loyal No-
braskaus who have given it their sup
port are entitled to praise and emu
lation.

There is no better and moro desirable
employer of men than Uncle Sam and at
the same time there is no employer more
exacting. A government position pays
well and good work is required. The
opportunities for serving in a govern
rnent position are constantly enlarging.
The young men of the country are
striving to merit its employment and
under the civil service laws a set of
rules is laid down that present a definite
requirement from applicants. The
government has made an unqualified
success of its postal service and there
are many who are not visionaries who
hope that in the future it may under
take other lines of work and afford
'more and hotter positions to the people
of the country. The postal service has
boon under government supervision for
so long that it could not be imagined
what the result would be if it was con
trolled by a private citizen or a corpora
tion. Other publto utilities have been
so long in the charge of private enter
prise that it could not be realized what
the result would bo if the duties and
responsibilities were to be delegated to
tho'government , nnd yet from the ex
perience of the people in postal matters ,
there are many who would consider it a
happy solution of many vexing problems.
There are never strikes or similar disturbances -
turbancos iu the postoffico department
and there is. general satisfaction on the
part of patrons with the conduct of that
service. There are a great many people
in the country who are not populists
who believe in the public owneiship
of publio utilities nnd the recent trouble
with the cool supply and the agitation
against trusts has served to strengthen
them in their position favoring public
ownership. They might not bo in
favor of confiscating the property oi
private owners , but would bo in
favor of acquiring the property in t
f ftlr and reasonable manner.

The newspaper editors and publishers
are anticipating an enjoyable meeting
at Hastings on February 10 and 11 , dur

prospots of a largo attendance.

Judging from the proceedings thus
far during the session'the Nebraska
legislature is composed of a moro intelli
gent body of men than those of the
average state legislature. There is a re
markable absence of freak bills with
which legislative proceedings kare fre
quently encumbered , and the business
of the session is proceeding along lines
indicated by conservative and businesslike -
like tact.
If Ex-Governor Savage could he

ever , that his influence no longer
reaches that far , and the burned struct
ure may be rebuilt and rehabilitated at
an early date.
The Nebraska legislature is not oreat
ing a gieat amount of disturbance , but
is proceeding with the business in band
with a steadfastness of purpose and
united action that adds to the confidence
of the people that it willbe , a session of
splendid results. Whatever is done
must reflect glory or discredit ; on the
republican party and the members of
that party are especially interested in

Representative Perry is of the opinion
hat the house of representatives will be
as well able to transact the business
coming before the session of the legis
lature without the lobbyists as with
hem. It does have the appearance
somewhat of a burlesque to choose men
o transact the business of the state and
hen have other men congregate and
endeavor to tell them how the busi
ness should be conducted. It is
believed by Mr. Jacobs that the
business in hand can be as well and as
economically transacted without the
help of these self-constructed advisors
and directors. A lobby may sometimes
assist legislatures in keeping in touch
with public sentiment and when they
do the practice is not detrimental , bul
very frequently it is the object of these
lobbyists to work against the sentiment
of the public and urge legislation thai
does not have the approval of the
people , or prevent that which the people
of the uituu desire. Winm this is the
result a lobby is harmful. If the legis
lators are honest and intelligent they
muy learn the sentiment of the people
without the aid of a lobby and on the
whole business could be as well and as
economically administered if the Nebraska
braska legislature should adopt Mr
Perry's resolution and if other legis
lutures , from the national congress
down , should adopt similar rules.
