The Madison county democrats are
to meet In convention on the 2nd ! ! at
llattle Creek to do up all tlio county
political business of their party at
one fell swoop , naming their delegates -
gates and all candidates at ono con
vention.
The Fremont Herald-Leader finds
that the only fault It has to find
with the Lincoln Star Is Its politics.
That Is no fault at all , but a merit ,
and vho people are becoming mighty
few who will agree with the Fremont
paper's criticism.
Another prominent Individual is
passing from the world's stage and
noon will bo forgotten entirely. Car
rie Nation has recently been placed
In Jail again , and the newspapers and
people scarcely noted the event , once
considered so Important as a news
feature.
The cool weather of the past few
days may not have helped the growth
of corn , but It Is noticed that poli
tics have been making some wonder
ful stunts , and the political pot will
soon be bubbling In all sections of the
state If the mercury keeps Its place
down In the tube.
W. W. Young of Stanton , formerly
state senator from this district , has
announced his candidacy for the
judgeshlp of the HlghMi district. 10.
K. Valentine of West Point , another
prominent republican politician of
the district , Is also desirous of the
honors , and the prospects are good
for a neat convention contest.
1 It is requiring some pretty hard
pressure to get all the water out of
Wall street , but the pressure Is being
kept up pretty regularly. The hope
ful indication Is that there are buy
ers waiting1 for an opportunity to
purchase as soon as the water is
removed , which would Indicate that
no general panic is likely to result.
The pope has been featured In the
telegraphic news for some time past
and now that ho has been crowned
and fully assumed bis exalted posi
tion It Is probable that the newspaper
correspondent may find something
to , take its place. War stories from
Bulgaria are In a fair way to take
top column , next reading matter for
nwhllo.
The republican convention of
Wayne county , held recently , adopted
resolutions endorsing the candidacy
of Judge Harnos for the supreme
bench. Kopubllcan county conventions
generally are doing that very thing
and it would not bo surprising if
Judge Humes is the only name men
tioned at the coming state convention
of republicans.
It is now necessary for foreigners
who desire to become citl/.ens of the
United States that they should take
oath that they bollovo in organized
government and are therefore not an
archists. It is the proper sort of re
quirement and It is hoped that here
after no anarchist will bo favored
with citizenship in this country ,
where it is more desirable to recog
nize government than to hold to
anarchy.
These who are at the head of the
farmers' movement in an attempt to
control the price of wheat , are now
reaching out to tlio producers of for
eign countries , and are endeavoring
to Interest the farmers of Russia In
the movement , and finally make it
world-wide. If it can bo demon-
started that all tlio agriculturalists of
this country can bo properly in
fluenced , it Is not unlikely that the
farmers of other countries will join
the movement.
The time is hero when the con
scienceless pot hunter shoulders his
gun and goes after the prairie chicks
that have but recently broken out of
their shells. A humanitarian Instinct
for the llttlo birds should forbid this
action , if not consideration for future
sport , and the man or boy who is
hauled up before court by deputy war
dens or any other officer of the law
is entitled to no sympathy for what
the court may deem a fitting penalty.
It should bo stopped.
It is said that there is moro im
migration from Vermont than there
Is from any other state in the union.

Nebraska soil , the climate out hero ,

Perhaps tlioro are not two ni'lgh-
borliiK towiiH In tlio Htatu that have
had a kindlier folding one toward the
other than Norfolk and Hattlu Creek.
Their rolatloiiH have always heon ex
ceedingly cordial. When Norfolk has
had "dolns" Htittlo Crook IIUH turned
out ommiHso and when Itattlo Creek
has wanted tlio attendance or help
of Norfolk people they have gone
there but the end IH In sight , and It
IH hard ' .o determine which town IH
to blame. They have all at once be
come rivals. Norfolk has a clrcim
billed for tlio S2nil ! and Hattle Creek
Is to entertain the democratic comity
convention on the munu day. It IH
now a light for tlio crowd and which
will bo the bent attraction.
Tlio work of oponlnK tlio way for
congress to place the Hosubnd Indian
agency at the command of the farm
ers of the country Is progressing sat-
Isfaclorlly and It Is now doomed a
certainty that It will bo thrown open
by the next session of congress. This
will ho of Importance to Norfolk and
this section of the state as the North
western extension from this city Is
the only road leading to the reser
vation , and these In search of some
of the fertile landsMiat will ho thrown
oiion to settlement will pass this
way. If llio reservation Is opened
this winter the rush will take place
next spring , and Norfolk Is on the
ground lloor. Como to Norfolk for
the winter and bo ready for the open-
Ing.
Do yon remember some time back
when the congressional campaign
was on , the democrats were simply
tearing their hair because a notor
ious measure , known as the Fowler
bill was certain to become a law If
the republicans were successful ?
Well , they made such a howl , and
the Fowler hill didn't pass as the
people know It wouldn't , but that
does not prevent tlio Commoner from
explaining , to Ivs satisfaction , why
the measure failed to pass. As a
matter of fact the hill was killed by
tlm committee a repnblcan com
mittee before it had oven the ghost
of a show of going before congress.
Nevertheless , and in spite of all this ,
the democrats will hatch up some
thing with which to try to frighten
the people by the time another na
tional campaign Is on , see if they
don\- , and the people will do as they
have done in the past pay no heed
to the scare crow 'and vote the re
publican ticket , as they know they
should for the benellt of themselves
and of the country.
The attention of the people is be
ing , called more and more to the at
tempts of certain speculators to
accumulate vast areas of western
land and the time is coming when a
radical reform will bo demanded in
the method of giving title to these
lands. Much of that which Is now
being gathered in is considered prac
tically worthless , but those who are
Investing and cornering this land
are cognizant that there are influences
at work that will in time make them
valuable. Tlio recent act establish
ing national Irrigation is ono ofvheso
and others will bo as potent , so that
in a few years the lands will become
valuable , but will not ho obtainable
by the people for whom they were
intended for farming and grazing
purposes , but will bo hold by spec
ulators who hope for big returns.
The experience of Ireland in this re
gard is given as a warning to the
people of the United States , who
should not permit themselves to bo
drawn Into tlio abyss from which Ire
land is just emerging.
Whether It is desired by the people
plo of 'ibis country that the United
States should offer such a premium
as was contemplated by the Hanna
bill for the encouragement of Amer
ican shipping or not , it Is certainly
pertinent that something should bo
done to Induce the handling of Amor-
lean trade in American vessels. Let
it first bo known that this is the
greatest commercial country In the
world , then let it bo considered that
the United Spates of the present day
with 80,000,000 people has but 873-
000 tons of American shipping en
gaged in foreign trade , while in 1810 ,
with but 7.1100,000 Inhabitants It had
a greater tonmiKo Mlmllarly engaged ,
or OSI.IHHI. and the amount of such
tonnage continues to show a decline
from year ' .o year. The figures pro-
Rented by foreign countries IH proof
concliiHlvo that the United States
needs to do something for the Amer
ican shipping interoHtH. The Hrlt-
1Kb empire has 1 1,800,000 tons of
merchant shipping ; Ciermiiny , J.'Jtli- '
000 IOIIH ; Prance. 1.180.000 tons ;
Norway , l/.C.O.OOO . tons ; Italy , 1,180-
000 IOIIH. lly far the larger part of
all these lloetH IH engaged In ocean
carrying.
A man living way hacit In York
state has had his avtentlon favorably
attracted Nebraska-ward , by the reports -
ports of the magnificent crops , but
ho IH apparently laboring under the
doluHlon that the state has remained
where 1'i WIIH ten or twenty years ago.
or soon after It was opent-ii to settle
ment. IIo wrote as followH to n real
estate'agent of the state : " 1 desire
to buy ICO acres of all tillable ,
smooth , level plain ; clear of all rock ,
hard pan , nllmlal ; no hills , bluffs ; gul
lies or ravines ; black , rich loam soil.
MIIHV bo located In good farming sec
tion where good crops can bo raised
to perfection , without a chance for
failure. Am willing to pay $10 per
aero for such hind If you will furnish
railroad tare for myself and fnmly. "
It Is perhaps fortunate for this fol
low that he did not make his wants
known personally and that Ne
braska's rich acres are Insensible to
Mio Insult that IIIIH been offered , else
ho might have been harshly treated.
Ills plans and specifications call for
a farm now worth from $50 to $100
an acre. The time was when ho
might have got it for $10 , but that
Is long past , and the time is approaching
preaching when they will no longer
bo obtainable at present prices , so
that if ho really wants a Nebraska
farm of the sort ho describes he had
belter raise his bid and raise It quick ,
or else change his specifications. Mo
might ho able to get a farm at that
price in some parts of the state , but
It will be conceded that the land will
not answer his description.
VACANCY CAUSED HY WHISKEY.
There Is at work a temperance
movement , growing stronger each
year , that is doing more to enforce
sobrloty and abstinence than has
ever been done through the efforts
of would-be reformers or by the en
forcement of prohibitory laws , and
that is the demand of employers for
sober men. Even the labor unions
and other like organizations are rec
ognizing this demand and are favor
ing temperate habits on the part of
members , recognizing that many of
their troubles have como from and
through the men who fill up on booze.
With the progress of this movement
it is not dllllcult to believe that the
man who drinks will soon be lookIng -
Ing for a job and fall to find ono.
Every employer has had experience
with men that shows those who drink
to bo unreliable and untrustworthy ,
and those who have permitted the
habit to creep on them are as un
reliable when sober as when full.
The railroads wore pioneers in this
movement and it Is spreading
to all branches of industry the drinkIng -
Ing man is not wanted , and a certifi
cate of sobriety has como to be an
important and indispenslble part
of an applicant's references. In
fact it will bo noticed that the sober
man is seldom compelled to look for
a job ho 'is employed while the
drinking man tramps the country
over , often in vain , in search of work.
Formerly it was considered that a
printer , n tailor , and other craftsmen
were not fully initiated until they
had acqutrcd the drink habit. Re
form is apparent oven in these lines ,
and sober men are being required.
Only recently a card has come to
this olllco advertising for a printer ,
bearing the requirement , "A drink
ing man need not apply , " and closing
with the statement , "Present vacancy
caused by whiskey. " The publisher
has had experiences similar to many
of his follow publishers and has de
termined to avoid such trouble in the
futuro-
There is no trampling of personal
rights In this. The man who would
prefer to fill ! up on intoxicants will
bo permitted to do so if ho has the
money but he need notoxpectsteady
employment to dovetail with a steady
appetite for liquor.
It Is a good thing for boys and
young men starting out In the world
to think about. No ono thinks It
"smart" of a young fellow to drink
and the worst of them have an ad
miration , well defined , for the young
man who will refuse. On the con
trary the young man who chooses to
acquire the habit must do so with
the understanding that with it goes
his standing in the community and
society ; his desirability ns an em
ploye ; his name and opportunity , not
to mention his money this is the
oxperlenco of the majority of drink
ers , and with the growth of the habit
it forces itself on all , sooner or later.
They are nowhere in demand.
The habit is not worth the price.
Cut It out.

( lovernor Mickey IH enthusiastic
over the present and prospective de
velopment of western Nebraska , and
if congress continues to stand by the
irrigation movement and the govern
ment Is successful In starting forests
In the sandhills there will bo thous
ands of other people who will learn
that western Nebraska Is far from
being the worst and most undesirable
place on earth. All any part of Ne
braska has over lacked to make it
produce and bear fruit is a sufllclency
of moisture and with this supplied ,
either naturally or artificially the en
tire stave will become ono of the
most desirable in the union. Nature
Is taking care of the eastern portion
and the government can do much to
redeem that lying In the neighborhood
of Colorado and Wyoming.
It is about time to retire that said
to be sage assertion that "silence is
golden. " It has stalked about over
the country for a number of years ,
misleading the people and acquiring
a sort of notoriety lor silence that
it did not deserve. Who ever ob
served silence to rake In the shekels
and accumula'io gold ? It has boon
noticed by the observing man that
gold seems to rather accumulate
about ( ho places where there is move
ment , bustle and consequent noise.
You can't make the side show spieler
believe that silence is golden. He
wouldn't take in a penny in a week
if ho didn't say something , or have
loud , noisy letters and pictures
do something for him. No more
can you toll the enterprising mer
chant , the same thing and hope to
have him believe you. When his
store is quiet he recognizes 'that there
are no customers and nothing doing ,
therefore no gold coming in. When
this happens the wise ones start a
little noise of their own. They pick
up a stray customer and talk an arm
off of him about the goods carried in
stock and he goes out and tells others
and this in 'cimo brings the noise and
gold of other customers. Those who
do not like this sort of personal so
licitation business take the newspaper
columns as a reliable and successful
way of creating a little of the noise
and bustle that brings in the gold.
Then take a town where there is noth
ing doing , where the streets are like
a graveyard there is nothing golden
about it. Gold hovers about 'die town
where the hammer is raising the ech-
oOs , the anvil is clanging , the engines
are snorting , the wagons are rattling
over the cobble stones , and each and
every individual who has any get up
about him is making some kind of
a noise. The speaker , the singer , the
writer , tlio politician , all will tosvify
that they were compelled to do some
thing , make some kind of a noise
and stir before fame and gold came
their way. It may be handy and right
to teach the children.that silence is
golden when they are making too
much noise , but for an every day ,
practical saying It should bo changed
to "noise and hustle and energy is
golden. "
It appears 'chat Charles M. Schwab ,
the late presfdent of the steel trust ,
could not stand his advancement ,
prosperity , and the notoriety at
tached , any better than some young
men who are taken off a dray wagon ,
or from chamber maid in n livery
barn and given a clerkship in the
postolllco. It was reported that ho
had rc'ilred or resigned , now it ap
pears that ho was ilred bodily. His
liead swelled to such proportions that
the capitalists interested In the trust
found no room jn the ofllco for them
and they got together and drew up
his discharge papers. Among the
deals on which Schwab let himself
loose was the purchase of n piano
costing $10,000 , and commencing the
work of constructing a residence to
cost $3,000,000. Ho commanded the
largest salary over paid in Industrial
pursuits , but evidently started in
with the dctormiatlon to spend It allen
on himself and make the eyes of his
neighbors protrude. Had he been
like steady old Andrew Carnegie and
dovuVed a portion of his now-found
wealth to the people or had ho been
like Uncle UUHH Sago and soaked
and Baited every Hou-markeo coming
his way ho might have hold the job
for a life time , but ho wasn't , nml
has since ascertained that something
was expected of him beside blowing
hlH income , swirling about in high
society and attempting to astonish
his equally rich but less prosumptlvo
neighbors. Ho was mipposod to bo
export In directing the affairs of the
steel trust and was employed to use
his knowledge to the trust's best ad
vantage , but he didn't and his sudden
retirement and coming effacement
and debasement should convoy a
moral to all who seek and would hold
advancement and prosperity.
ANOTHER PUMPING PROPOSITION
The city council has before it an
other pumping proposition , from the
Norfolk Electric Light and Power
company , through its president , B.
A. Bulloclc , who has offered to pump
the water used by the city through
the waterworks system at the average -
ago cost of such service during the
last throe years , which has been fig
ured at $2-18.11 per month , which in
cludes the cost of the coal used at
the pumping station , the keeping of
the pumps and boilers and other ma
chinery In repair , and the expense of
hiring a man or men for the service.
In addition the city is to be given ,
free of cost , twelve additional are
lights for its streets.
Tlio proposition is one which the
city cannot well afford to pass , and is
very desirable , as the basis of figur
ing Is fair and equitable and the city
receives as an inducement the twelve
additional arc lights , which at a mon
etary consideration , amount to $ CO
per month. In considering this prop
osition it should also be remembered
that the past three years , used as a
basis on which to figure the average
cost of running the pumping plant ,
have been very wet years , and that
nature has operated to reduce the
expense of pumping water as the
rainfall has made it necessary to
use very little city water on the lawns
and gardens. In the dry years that
have been experienced since the es
tablishment of the system it will be
remembered that there was a much
larger volume of water consumed and
that is was necessary to keep a vig
ilant watch to see that the lawn
sprinklers were not run over time , in
order that the expense of pumping
might be kept down. With the ac
ceptance of the proposition a dry
year or series of dry years would op-
crate to the disadvantage of the elec
tric company rather than the city.
The growth of the city and probable
increase of number of consumers will
also tend to increase the average cost.
These two points alone will con
vince many of the desirability of the
proposition the twelve additional arc
lights and the probable Increase In
average cost of secrvice. It is cer
tain that the city can lose nothing by
accepting the proposition and it may
gain considerable. It is therefore be
lieved by The News that public senti
ment will sustain the council in its
acceptance of the proposition and the
signing of .a contract on the terms
offered.
