Nothing would please the friends o

The democrats aud populists may fuse
on the state ticket and have fused on
the date for holding the conven
tions , but failed to unite on loca
tions. The democrats will meet at
Oolnmbns and the populists at Grand
Island. This is probably meant to get
rid of that all night session in getting
together which has distinguished former
fusion conventions. Both parties have
evidently had plenty of that long wait
for the white winged dove of unity ,
with committees visiting back and forth
jat intervals not very wide apart.
Indications are that unless the negro
learns to behave in a civilized manner
ho will find the north as well as the
south the enemy's country. Northern
negroes as a rule are industrious and
well-behaved , and it is the one fresh
from the south who usually occasions
trouble to his own detriment aud that
of his race. There is opportunity for
the negro if he will take it and many of
the race are improving such opportunity
advantageously , but it is useless for him
to consider that his liberties are to be
greater than that accorded the white
man.
There are a few populists in favor of
continuing the fusion program , and one
of these is T. If. Tibbies , who argues
that inasmuch as Nebraska is the only
state that maintains a populist organiza-
tiou and is the only BtMo that hoi con
tinued to fnflo with the democrats , fns-
ion ia good for what ails the party and
it should contlnnojto tnko it in liberal

If thoHO who are exerting thomnolvfB
o BIVVC the lifo of Murderer llhoa had
tartod earlier they might have accom-
ilUhed something. The tlmo for theme
o have commenced was when Ilhca was
accumulating criminal instincts that
would load to murder. Their Influence
hould have boon directed toward av-
ug the lifo of Ilhea's victim and inci
dentally his own. As it ( ! B they may
'all ' , but there nro thousands of others
whoso bent is in the same direction that
od to Ilhoa's conviction. Theno they
might save by beginning in time , and
by the Fame action they mijiht bo able
o save the lives of their prospective in
nocent victims , by directing them in
mtliB that load to reform , rather thane
o a murderer's coll. It is awful to bo
compelled to hang a man for murder ,
but it is more awful to have men with
murder in their hearts assume the terri
ble responsibility of taking the lives of
other and innocent persons.
The calling of the county convention ,
while it will have nothing to do with
the nominations for county offices , has
started the county political pot to sim
mering some v ith premise for au inter-
eating campaign when the time actually
arrives. Already candidates are de
claring their intention of seeking the
various offices at the hands of one party
or the other , aud lu some instances there
are two or more candidates in each party
for ono office. When this is the case ,
the thing to do would bo for the candi
dates to got together and not hamper
their party with a fight in the ranks ,
leaving all the strength of the organiza
tion to combat the mutual enemy , and
clearing the way for a party victory.
With the republicans the dominant
party in the oounty.thoy may experience
the most pronounced pro-convention contest -
test and to keep their prestige it is par
ticularly necessary for them to moot the
opposition with a united front.
Pavlnfi and 1'rogrsa.
The protrrotsivo spirit is very apparent
ont Norfolk this spring , and should bo
encouraged and directed in the right
channels. Business men aud property
owners appear to bo ready to do any
thing within reason for the advancement
of the city aud if they are convinced
that an advantage will accrue to the
town from auy certain public improve
meut they will not bo slow to favor it.
One of the first things that should bo
done is to pave the principal business
streets. There are no up-to-dnto cities
but have paved streets , and in almost
every lustiuco the investment has prov
en profitable to the town aud to the
property. After a towu has expert
encod the benefits of paving nothing
could induce it to return to the old dirt
roads and mudholes. It has been the
experience of other cities that when pav
ing is once started there is no difficulty
at all in extending it , and the person
who has lived in a city with paved
streets finds scant inducement for
investment or residence in towns whore
paving is unknown. Norfolk should
certainly pavo. It is not nocessarv to
go to au extreme , but the business streets
should thus be improved , by all moans ,
aud other streets could bo cared for as
occasion demands , and after the paving
in the business part baa boon given a
fair trial as to benefits and results. It
will be quite au expensive investment ,
but the value that will be added to the
property will more than meet the ex
pense and add eorne for good measure.
Norfolk has as good location aud as
good a start towards making a city
as any town in the state , and with the
sort of enterprise that paves streets and
otherwise adds to the appearance and
convenience of the city , it cannot help
but develop and prosper. The improve
ments already being made are attract
ing state-wide attention , and the right
sort of effort will bring it to the atten
tion of the eutiro country with much
accruing benefit. The time for Norfolk
to begin improving is now. It is the
jcar of growth , achievement aud pros
perity for the city , aud the work of pav
ing should not be delayed.
CltUens in no Hurry.
Architect James Tyler , jr. , is busily
engaged on half a dozen or rnoro dif
ferent jobs for the stato. The board of
publio lauds and buildings has in
structed him to first look after repairs
that must be done to protect the build
ings already standing before attempt
ing plans for new buildings. The most
important now structure is the hospital
for the insane at Norfolk. This is to
cost § 100,000. Recently it wns reported
in the uowopaporB that tbo people of
isorfolk voro importuning the state
board to commence work , but a mom *
bor of the board IB authority for the
statement that the citizen * are not
ready for It yet and nro in no haste.
The board will probably not begin work
on the building until next year. Re
pairs nro badly needed at the institu
tions at Grand Inland , HantlugB and
Kearney. State Treasurer Mosorvo Bays
ho considers the school for girls at
Gouova one of the beat buildings owned
by the tate State Journal , 20.
The oar marks of the above indicate
that there la some orndo reporter on the
Journal staff who has volumes aud vol
umes to learn before ho is entitled to
pose OB a journalist. It indicates in
the first place that the alleged interview
with "a member of the board" was at
eng range , for it would not bo possible
n view of what the board knows of the
itnation and the dorires of Norfolk , to
ick ont n member so demo as to make
inch an absurd statement and hope to
mvo the people who have the Rlightcst
knowledge of foots believe it. The board
therefore evidently misrepresented.
The general characteristics of the item
wo further exposed by the foot that
State Treasurer "Mosorvo" IB quoted.
iVnyouo holding residence in Nebraska ,
T infinitely worse , in the capital city
f the state , who would make such a
; laring error as this should not attempt
o Bay what the members of the state
board believe , or what the desires of
ho people of Norfolk aro. Then , again ,
.ho Norfolk hospital for the insane is
ipokou of as a "now structure" aud the
doa is convoyed that there is no prop
rty on the site to bo benefited by im
mediate repairB , when the fact is there
a state property worth thousands of
dollars hero that needs immediate care
o prevent loss of value.
And the board is quoted as not con
emplatiug the beginning of work here
before next year , which is very absurd
u view of the fact that late in May a
delegation of Norfolk citizens , among
whom was the writer , secured the prom
so of members that the matter would
bo taken up at once and that at the
mooting of the board early in Juno there
should bo action and the state architect
started on the work.
But by far the most absurd statement
u the alleged interview is that "the
citizens ( of Norfolk ) are not ready for
t yet and are in no haste. "
Immediately after the fire which destroyed
stroyed the institution almost two years
ago , the people of Norfolk attempted
energetically to prevent oven the tem
porary abandonment of the institution
but wo "aro in no hasto. "
The people hero offered to help care
for the patients after the fire until re
pairs to the hospital could bo made
but wo "aro in no haste. "
The city hired men to protect the
state's property and assist the attend
ants in looking after the patients but
wo "aro in no hasto. "
We protested long and loud against
the removal of the patients and the fur
niture and supplies but wo "are iu no
haste. "
The first objection to the Savage regime
gimo originated in Norfolk on account
of his vacillating and ovunivo attitude
toward the hospital , TUB Nuws taking
np the fight ngaluKt _ him later when it
became apparent that ho was determined
to remove the hospital as far as in his
power lay. IIo was so effectually re
tlrod that his uamo was hardly men
tiouod iu the succeeding convention of
the party but Norfolk is "in no haste.
North Nebraska supported Norfolk on
the rebuilding proposition to au extent
that was very apparent in the republican
can convention , aud that had a vital in
fluence in uamiug the candidate for
governor but they "nro in no hasto. "
Goveruor Mickey was induced to in
corporate a paragraph iu his message
urging the rebuilding of the hospital
but we "are in no haste. "
Tno matter of the appropriation was
so conducted iu the legislature that
there was scarcely any opposition in
that body but we "aro in no haste. "
Committee after committee of Nor
folk people visited the state house ,
spending their time and money to
secure its passage , during the pendency
of the bill bnt we "aro in no haste. "
The efforts of the people resulted in
the attaching of an emergency clause
to the measure , so that it would not be
necessary to wait until the first of July
before work could commence , but tbe
fact that up to the present moment not
a thing has been done must indicate
that we "are in no hasto. "
Delegations and individuals have
called on the state board to urge them
to immediate action , informing them
that the appropriation was available on
tbe first of April bnt we "are in no
has'o. "
The question frequently asked by the ,
people of everyone from Lincoln is the
status of the rebuilding plans bnt we
"are in no haste. "
No , we "aro in no haste. " The
strenuous efforts of the people of Nor
folk and the friends throughout north
Nebraska were all made so that at the
leaisuro of the board , when no other
matters are occupying publio attention
they could put in a little spare time
figuring ou how to rebuild the hospita
but auy old time will do us we "aro
iu no hasto. "
What Norfolk has to do to get ready
for the building and what means may
bo taken to indicate that wo are
anxious to have work commenced wil
bo taken up at the next meeting of the
literary society but wo "are in no
hasto. "
The Bontlmrnt in fhv > r of paving
Norfolk's streets is right and a way will
bo found to nccompllsh this desirable
improvement. No opposition to the
inovcinont ) ms boon noted , which is n
itrong argument for progresslvoncBS in
, ho city.
The democrats appear to hope thnt
the poRtal investigations will extend
ever into next year and afford thorn a
pretext for naming a candidate in oppo
sition to Preflldont Roosevelt , but with
that gentleman in the executive chair
they have scant hopes for such a realiz
ation. Ho is abundantly capable of din *
posing of the scandal effectually and at
an early dato.
The Iowa democrats mot a few days
ago and disposed of the Bryan and free
silver ideas , being ouo of the first Hear *
vontlons of the year to tnko n step to *
ward reorganization. Thin week the
republicans will moot and dispose of the
Iowa idea" of tariff reform. In the
first named convention there was a
breaking away from existing party con
ditions ; in the latter the effort will bo
made to get in closer tonch with exist
ing party conditions a distinction and
a difference.
When Norfolk's census was taken in
1000 there were a largo number of vacant
louses , Since then many have been
built and ( till inquiries for rentable
property are heard every day and there
appears to bo no immediate hope that
all the people who want to make this
city their homo can bo comfortably
housed. Now houses in desirable loca
tions are routed almost before the foun
dations are laid. It is an era of growth
and progress , and tenant houses are
proving to be good investments.
What appears to strike the Germans
at Kiel as the most peculiar thing abont
the American jack tnrs who are visiting
there is that they take carriages and
cabs while viewing the city. It was
probably supposed there that carriages
and cabs wore the exclusive luxury of
the rich until the American sailors
proved to them that oven a poor man
might spend his money in that manner.
American sailors and others not born
with silver spoons in their mouths
might , if they would learn how to at
tain a competence , taking note of the
economy of the Germans who save
their quarters and half-dollars and walk
when the distances are nut long.
An English writer fears that the
Americans are destined to degenerate
into a savage race resembling the In
dians whom they have supplanted. The
recent outrage at Wilmington , and the
assertion that the young men of Amer
ica are developing the "high cheek
bones , piercing eyes , straight nose , hol
low cheeks , long , active limbs" that
were the characteristics of the Aborig
inal Americans , leads the writer to as
sume that the climate and other charac
teristics of the American continent tend
toward this result. The fact that he
says nothing about the yoang women
leads to the conclusion that American
beauties and their dollars will continue
to bo sought after by the Englishmen
whoso only boast is an ancestry and an
estate , which they lack the money and
ability to care for.
Tnn NOUTOLK NUWB predicts that
Norfolk will add fully ouo thousand
uion , women and children to her already
swelling population before the first snow
storm. Some one must have been put
ting up a story and a half cottage over
in Norfolk to call forth such a warm
prophesy as the above. Nebraska City
Tribune.
Yes , Norfolk has put np n story and a
half house , and ouo or two that were
full two stories , but this does not tell
the entire story. The News is confident
that the improvements now under way
and that will soon be started here will
amount to more in money invested and
actual good to the city than those of any
town in the state , with the exception of
Omaha , and perhaps Lincoln , Nebraska
Oity not oxcepted. And the prophesy
of a thousand additional inhabitants is
more likely to be underestimated than
overdrawn. Nebraska Oity need well
fear for her laurels as one of the cities
claiming to be third in the state , because
Norfolk is after them and has the loca
tion and country surrounding to some
day get them , but.it will do no good for
the Otoo town to merely grow jealous
and sarcastic.
The Yank ton , Norfolk and South
western is to be heard from no more ,
forever , except In ojreoord way when the
property of that road is transferred to
the Yankton and Golf railway , articles
of incorporation for which have been
filed with the secretary of state of South
Dakota. The dispatch gives it out that
this road is to extend from the northern
boundary of South Dakota to Port Ar
thur , on the Gulf of Mexico , which un
doubtedly contemplates the use of the
grade between Norfolk and Yankton ,
and Mr. Miller of the Yankton , Norfolk
and Southwestern , is one of the directors
of the new corporation. Such a route
would seem to be both feasible and
practical and it would not be at all sur
prising if ono should bo built to permit
Port Arthur and Gulf points to com
pete with the eastern markets for the
products of one of the moat fertile sec
tions of country in the world. Other
roads for that destination have been
planned , but they have seemed to lack
the necessary force to push them through
to completion. It is to bo hoped that
the Yanktou and Gulf will develop the
uccoRsary capital and force to bring it
to a realization. It will have abundant
obstacles to encounter in overcoming
the opposition that is certain to develop
from the roada that are feeders to the
ooflt , as they will not bo expected to sit
snpinoly by and permit competitive
business to bo built np in their best ter
ritory , but it has boon proven frequently
that whore there's a will there's n wy ,
and such n line offers flattering induce
ments to capitalists who are independent
of eastern influences.
The fusion press is early , loudly and
continuously deploring the fact that
Nebraska is in the grip of the railroads
and that the corporations are monarchs
of all they survey. Their grief for the
clear people knows no assuaging , and
some of them have given np all hopes
that the commonwealth will ever be
redeemed. They are almost ready to
fold their bauds and allow this horrible
condition of affairs to take the state and
the people and the little children to the
domuitiou bowwows. " The futnro
looks gloomy to them and they fail to
BOO oven a silver lining to the cloud of
their despair. The pictures painted by
them are done in pessimisto colors ,
and the frame work is of blood and
tears and groans and sighs , ground out
of the prostrate bodies of a subjugated
and servile people. The warrant for
this silly clap-trap and twaddle is not
far to discover. There is an election
for supreme jnge this fall and the fn-
sinuists propose to have a candidate for
the office. They at first proposed that
the people should flock gaily to the sup
port of said candidate by desiring
that it should bo a non-partisan affair
and his election nnanimons. There
were too many however , who imagined
that there might bo a taint of partisan
ship in it even with a fusionist on the
ticket alone. Failing in this they have
started to wall and moan and tear their
hair because of "corporate influence"
and their lamentation is heard through
out the state , but somehow it seems to
bo unheeded and for a very peculiar
reason. The fact is that the court they
wish to redeem is and has been for two
years a fusion court and it is proposed
to renominate on the fusion ticket the
fnsionist whose term expires this year ,
and some of the people fail to see
how the state may be redeemed by reelecting -
electing the same court. Some of the
more exacting seem to believe that if
the state is in the grip of the octopuses
with a fusion court in office , that court
comes in for a share of the arraignment ,
and if the arraignment holds good now ,
they are given to conjecture and sur-
m'so ' as to how a re-election of the retir
ing member wll operate to change it.
Such people are undoubtedly too exact
ing abont insisting that facts should
justify with the arguments put forth ,
but nevertheless they will be found to
be.stubborn in their position and will go
right ahead voting the republican ticket
and for the republican nominee. Later
on will come exhibits to sustain the
fusion position , and if they succeed in
proving that the state is really under
the thumb of the avoracious and soulless
railroads , people will somehow continue
to believe that a fusion supreme court
Is sustaining a share of the blame.
Nevertheless the frothing at the month
of the fusion press will continue to be
watched with > erne interest. So let the
war go on , and when the proper time
comes vote the republican ticket.
Situation in Haytl Disquieting.
Port au Prince , Hayti , Juno 30. Th
situation here Is disquieting. The for
eign minister and the minister of the
interior have resigned and no suc
cessor has yet been appointed to suc
ceed the late minister of finance , who
resigned because he was opposed to
prosecuting the inquiry into the finan
cial scandal. In an address to the sol-
dlers of the guards. President Nerd
vigorously denounced the attitude of
the senate , the chamber and the national -
tional bank as being opposed to his
administration. The president shouted
"down with the chambers. "
Many Bodies Extricated.
Madrid , June 30. By midnight 100
bodies had been extricated from the
wreck of the Bilbao train , which was
overturned Saturday night from a
bridge into the Nejerllla river , and it
s estimated that seventy corpses re
main in tbo wreckage. The bodies are
horribly mutilated. Differences be
tween the civil end military authori
ties rendered the work of rescue more
difficult. That many prosperous per
sons are among the victims is testi
fied by the great quantity of money
end jewelry collected by gendarmes.
King Peter's Troubles Begin.
London , Juno 30. The Times' corre
spondent at Belgrade telegraphs that
at yesterday's sitting the skupshtina
demanded that the new government
ahould present itself to the chamber ,
but the government declined to do so
on the ground that the ministry was
the same as that previously approved
by the skupshtina. The Independent
radicals demanded dissolution and an
Immediate election. The situation ,
concludes the correspondent , Is not
clear , and King Peter's troubles have
begun.
Colorado Mountain Totters.
Ouray , Colo. , Juno 30. An immense
landslide 1,000 feet wide came down
from the main range into Silver creek
basin , beyond and between the Revenue
nuo and Camp Bird mines. The whole
top of tbo mountain broke oft , and an
other section of the mountain looks
as if Itwould break off. The slides
are caused by melting of the jleep snow.

Kansas City , June 30. Representa
tives of the United States .Packing
company , organized under tho' laws of
Colorado In October , 1902 , to compete-
with the beef trust , so-called , arrived
in Kansas City to consider the ques
tion of establishing a million dollar
packing plant here. According to
Charles F. Martin , secretary of thd
company , ? 1,750,000 has already been
subscribed. James H. Peabody , gov
ernor of Colorado , Is president of the-
United States company , which sprang
from agitation started at the conven
tion of the National Live Stock asso
ciation In Kansas City last June , when.
John W. Springer , president of the as
sociation , stated that if the packing- ,
companies merged an independent
company would be organized.
John Dickey , the general manager
of the new concern , said : "We have
worked quietly In the organization of
the new company and now wo have It
on a firm basis. Much of the $1,750-
000 secured ia from small investors.
Many of the wealthiest stockmen of
the west and southwest are In the con
cern. I have just returned from the- f
east , where wo have interested many t-
of the small retailers , and also labor
unions. Ono labor union in the east
subscribed for $26,000 worth of stock.
Thus wo have with us the cattlemen ,
who produce the stock , and the re
tailers and consumers. "

Dark Hair
" I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor
for a great many years , and al
though I am past eighty years of
age , yet I have not a gray hair in
my head. "

We mean all that rich ,
dark color your hair used
to have. It it's gray now ,
no matter ; for Ayer's
Hair Vigor always re
stores color to gray hair.
Sometimes it makes the
hair grow very heavy and
long ; and it stops falling
of tne hair , too.
