In a sluirt tlmo now the democrats
and populists will meet and pull off
another pro-decided affair , nominating
Judge Sullivan for the supreme bench.
The loaders and railroad men In the
party have all agreed on Sullivan as

the party will not kick out , providing
the populists agree to again fuso.
A Kansas bank has established a

It was not the railroads who sah
It should bo so , but the north Plntv

A man who has just completed a
trip over Nebraska , covering the state
aa far as Kearney to the wont , Norfolk

The endorsement of John L. Web-
tor of Omaha as a candidate for the
Ice presidency by the republicans of
Nebraska Is welcomed by the poll-
[ clans and the press of the nation as
lie llrst dellnlto political move to
ead up to the campaign of next year ,
ml honors to the llrst announced can-
Idate for the position are being given
reoly. This ovldonco of Interest on
lie part of the people of the nation is
s much appreciated by the ropub-
cans of Nebraska as It Is by Mr.
Vebster himself.
It Is already Intimated that demo-
ratio politicians are to agitate the
liners and other employes to strike
text year with the belief that the
omocratlc cause will bo honelltted
> y such action on the part of laboring
nen. It appears that no game Is too
cop for the politicians , but the tlmo
nay como when they will urge thous-
inds of men to glvo up their employ-
n out , to the detriment of themselves
ind their fnmlllcs.to the danger of
mipcrty and lives , merely for the
sake of giving a pretext for the exist
ence of the democratic party.
After making the learned assertion
hat Judge Barnes Is little known out
side the district In which ho served
is Judge , the World-Herald of yos'ior-
lay morning , before the convention ,
levoted a column and a half news
space , a two-column cartoon and two
columns of double leaded editorial to
ho republican nominee and the con
vention by which ho was nominated.
Consistent people will Imagine that
.ho two facts the assertion and the
four or live column spasm do not
| lbo , but If they are at all familiar
with World-Herald politics and jx > H-
clos they will realize that they arc
Just as consistent as always.
If there Is not much of the world's
commerce being carried on by Amor-
lean vessels , they do not lack for fame
In other directions. Emperor Wil
liam's private yacht Is an American
built vessel , King Leopold of Ilolglum
is to have one of the same make , and
soon no monarch's equipment , nor
monarchy's navy will he complete
without one or more vessels put up
by American workmen In good ap
proved American workmanlike man
ner. It is rather a matter of regret ,
however , that , while wo can build the
vessels for Europe , the vessels that
do our commerce and the world's com
merce cannot afford to sail under the
American ( lag.
For the first tlmo In six years the
Nebraska populists and democrats are
to meet In separate conventions to
morrow , which , however , does not sig
nify that there will not bo fusion.
On the contrary it Is expected that
a very complete sot of wires will bo
in operation between the two conven
tions , and the ticket turned out , with
Judge Sullivan at the head , will un
doubtedly have the approval of both.
It has long been given out that Judge
Sullivan has heon picked on as their
man by the leaders of both parties
and so Imperial has been this dicta
tion that no other aspirant for the of-
has dared to make known his ambi
tion. Some tlmo ago It was oven
intimated that Sullivan did not care
to make a race which ho believed
would bo a losing one , but the leaders
have said ho Is the man , and oven his
preferences are not considered.
A person would think from the per
sistency with which the World-Herald
has heon declaring that there was rail
road dominltlon of the republican
party In Nebraska and judging by the
fact that the republican party has
been winning repeated victories in
state contests , that the people of Ne
braska had by this time become the
slaves , pure and simple , of the rail
roads , and that their liberties wore be
ing ground Into the dust , their
property despoiled and every right
denied thorn by these corporations.
It really does sound pretty big in the
Abstract for that paper to bo contln-
ually howling about railroad domin
ation , but If It WIIH pinned down to
proving it , how many Intelligent cit
izens of the Htato would admit that
they , personally , were subject to rail
road control , and that If true the
rallrodH control Nebraska they
are Injured in the slightest degree
thereby. The World-Herald HCOIUB to
Imaglno that It IH dealing with sense-
ICHH nlnnloH and not with Intelligent ,
thinking American citizens.
The Humboldt Enterprise tolls of
what the fertile neil of Nobranka has
accomplished for one man. He moved
from Iowa In 1870 and bought a farm
for $12 an aero. Eight years later ho
Bold it for $10 an acre , and bought
another at $8 per aero that had never
known what a plow was. This ho
developed and later bought an addi
tional quarter for $1,000 , which ho Hold
four years later at a prollt of $2,100 ,
putting most of the purchase prlco
In another line puarter adjoin
ing his original farm. Ho has recent
ly erected a barn on lite place at a cost
of $ ! ! , r > 00. Ho linn moved to town but
still owns one of the finest half sec
tion farms over seen , for which ho
could easily get at loaHt $80 per acre.
Ho is fixed for llfo anl all his money
was made from Nebraska land. The
land ho created Into wealth Is no
longer available , but there are thous
ands of like opportunities In the state ,
and there will bo fortunes made In
the future that will equal his , though
good virgin soil at $8 and $10 per
aero Is becoming hard to find.
Tomorrow , whllo the Nebraska dem
ocrats are In session at Columbus and
the populists at Grand Island , the
Ohio democrats will meet at Columbus
In that Htato. Perhaps there Is more
than a coincidence in the choice of
Columbus as a meeting place by the
democrats of these two states. It Is
understood that Mr. Bryan Is greatly
Interested In the Johnson candidacy
for governor of Ohio , ami it Is not
Improbable that his man will win , in
which event , the name of the discov
erer of America may bo the magic
word under which the democrats will
hope to march to victory this year and
next and how appropriate that the
Nebraska democrats should be In ses
sion at Columbus to catch the Insprl-
ratlon from Columbus , If It is not
sldo tracked. There may bo better
than a paramount Issue generating
right now that will blossom forth
and llonrlsh simultaneously In the
towns of Columbus , Ohio , and Colum
bus , Nebraska. The best people can
do who are not the Inside It Is watch
and wait.
Whllo owners of power in Norfolk
appear to bo anxious to make propo
sitions for pumping the city water ,
why should not the council Indicate
that they are In n receptive mood for
such propositions , and perhaps one
might bo made that would bo worth
whllo to consider. It is a theory of
government that has been considered
good in any public ofllco or body , thai
whenever a contract can bo made
that will operate to a saving In money
for the ta pxayors coljoCmotaolnshrd
for the tax payers who support the
government It Is good policy to do
so. First came a proposition to do
the pumping for what it has cost the
city , and in addition contribute the
addition of $ GO a month In lights
Then came another proposition to
pump the water at a cost of $81.41
less per month than has been the average
erago cost per month for the past three
years , a much bettor proposition thai
the first. A saving of $81.41 pormontl
looks pretty good to most business
men and there are business men 01
the council who should not be averse
to doing things for the city in a busl
ness-like manner , and though they re
celvo no bettor proposition than tha
from the mill company , they mlgh
well afford to make that much of a
saving and not bo condemned by anj
person with sound business sense fo
a lack of judgment.
Senator Allen Is getting pretty boh
In questioning the motives of Mr
Bryan In condemning Mr. Allen am
his compatriots who went to Denve
and launched that declaration of in
dependence from democracy and fus
ion. Ho holds that Mr. Bryan has nt
right to criticise the populists. Whoi
that party a couple of times gave bin
the highest nomination in their glf
It virtually said that ho was bette
than they , and ho shbuld not now bo
censured for taking to himself the
tlatterlng honor that they thrust upoi
him. If ho Is bettor than they , ho
has a right to criticise nnd scold ode
do what ho deems proper to dlrcc
them in the straight and narrow path
of right. The senator should not a
this late date kick over the traces be
cause fusion , with his sanction and 1m
portunlty , is bearing its legitimate fruit
The senator should either ho a goot
fnslonlst and knuckle under to the
leader of his party , or make his Independence
pendenco so positive that the former
candidate can by no manner of means
bo retained. Ho must have knowi
that Mr. Bryan would refuse to bo
swung loose from several thousam
votes without a protest.
Of course It will bo Sullivan but
oven Sullivan mot his Corbett.
With an army of 1,189,315 people
In the employ of the railroads of the
country it can ho realized that they
are an Important factor In the pros
perity and the progress If the country ,
and not subject to continual abuse
and condemnation that they receive
at the hands of Homo of the people
especially political reformers ,
Mr. Cleveland's enemies , Mr. Bryan
Included , are doing just what Is re
quired to glvo him n standing with
the people. When a man Is nbused
and In his turn maintains his personal
dignity and the dignity of his position ,
the people cannot but admire him ,
nnd right now there are people who
lately had the same opinion of Cleveland -
land that Mr. Bryan and his admirers
express , who are compelled to admire
the man and consider him better for
the olllco that ho once filled than ho
over was before.
It frequently happens that when
icoplo begin to really worry over per-
iloxlng problems of state or govern-
nent or crops , or household matters ,
something develops to show them
hat there is and has been no cause
or worry , and worse calamities some-
lines fall upon them suddenly without
giving them tlmo for worry. It would
appear that perhaps , after all , there
s no reason to worry over the
race problem. Statistics compiled
from the twelfth census and sent out
'rom Washington show that among
.he negroes In all the large cities of
.ho country , the death rate is ex
ceeding that of births , and if the
same ' conditions continue and are
shown throughout the country It will
ncan that the American negro will
n tlmo become extinct. The excess
of deaths In Chicago was 290 , in St.
Louis 01 , Now York 510 , Boston 87 ,
Washington 701 and Now Orleans
1,575.
The Ilollnnco won. It did not como
as a surprise. American people have
como to the point where the surprise
would be that anything as distinctly
American ns the Reliance and Its crow
failed to win. What the Reliance did
Is being duplicated every day In a
sense. The American people are win
ners , their policies are winners , their
business methods are winners. They
win In about anything they undertake
against foreign competition , untl
about everything worth having is
thelr's. They will continue to win
too , with right policies , and right men
to direct the affairs of state , unti
their foreign competitors make a far
different nnd better showing than any
thing they have yet put up. It Is
a pleasure and a matter of divine favor
to bo an American under these con
ditlons.

of what was accomplished Saturday
In the Interest of the up-to-date , wide

place simultaneously at points acres
the continent from one another , wor
given to News readers whllo they
wore news. Then there was th
launching of the Pennsylvania at Phi
adelphla , and last , but not least , froi
a local standpoint , was the report o
the democratic county convention a
Battle Creek on the same afternoo
that It took place. It is but a sampl

addition that anyone may have fo

Those ignoramuses who'presid
over certain newspapers throughou
the state and who are assuming tha
Judge Barnes lacks ability and hone
In his profession would perhaps d
well to Inform themselves before thcl
silly opinions have an opportunity t
run up against the cold , cruel fact
that will dlscrecdit them with the pee
pie. Because the republican cand
date has never flirted around eve
the state for petty-fogging notorlet
as did their own Constant Ja\
Smytho , is no reason to assume tha
he has no record as an attorneey an
a jurist. Those who know the Judge1
record are aware of the fact that 1
Is ono of which many attorneys wit
a record for blow and bluster wouh
bo proud. During his practice ho ha
won many Important suits , and man
that appeared hopeless. That ho 1
a lawyer of ability all members of th
bar with any wider knowledge of th
courts will admit and it will not ben
efit the cause of the opposition to
attempt to mislead the people Into be
lieving that Judge Barnes Is unknown
nnd therefore Incompetent for the po
sition. Such work will net ns a boom
erang in this campaign as it has in
past campaigns. It Is certain that
Judge Sullivan would not approve of
this sort of campaign. Ho knows , if
Is cheap political admirers don't ,
mt Judge Barnes has a good legal
ecord. It Is further certain that
one but very foolish republicans will
ttctnpt to return the compliment by
Hacking Judge Sullivan nnd lying
about him. The republicans expect to
win on an open , clean fight.
