The revival of the Yankton , Nor
folk & Southwestern rumor , comes
almost too late to connect It up with
the expression that "It will bo com
pleted before snow flies , " but Its late
start this year may warrant the dig
ging up of that phrase early next
spring.
If North and South Dakota , Mon

The Irrlgatlonlsts nro strenuous In
their efforts to prove philanthropists ,
They not only propose to nmko two

With the nipping of vegetation It
may bo expected that the political pot

or. In two weeks more the republic-
nns and democrats of Madison county
will hnvo full tickets In the Hold and
October will be n month of much nc-
tivlty In the political Held.
Bulgaria's notice to the powers that

such a war without the aid or consent
of the powors.
Carrie Nation Is one of the people
of the country who cannot adnilro
President Hoosovelt , and has criti
cised the man and his administration.
It was to ho expected. Hut It will bo
noticed that few cranks of one kinder
or another are nssalling the president.
Even the democrats have little fault
to Hud with him.
Great Britain Is evidently desirous
of taking in some of the prosperity
' with which the United States has been
favored , oven though It should bo nec
essary to go back on free trade and
adopt a system of protection along
the line that has been In use in this
country with such magnificent suc
cess for a number of years.
The Northwestern ofllclals arc
among the first to attempt round-the-
world excursions , traveling west via
the now American possessions. It af
fords an excellent opportunity tc
those who have the price to visit the
territory recently acquired by the
United States In the far east , and In
addition a chance to take In the other
sights on the trip around the globe. Tlio
plan is unique in western railroad en
terprise , and It is hoped that it will
be of such success thnt they may find
it profitable to have them frequently.
Mrs. Russcl Sage has nothing but
contempt for the American girls
whoso ambition it Is to marry n titled
foreigner. Mrs. Sago made a very
clever selection herself nnd Is evi
dently of the opinion thnt there are
as good fish In the sea on this side
of the pond as over were caught oven
at this late day and age. It Is cer
tain that few of the tltlo-marryhiR
girls will succeed in getting a money
maker to equal our own Uncle Russ ,
Ho is the peer of any titled foreigner
oven If he will not let loose of his
wad.
It will bo noticed thnt the demo
cratic move for a non-partisanship
judiciary is always made in years
where thnt party's candidat.es had nc
hope of RUCCOHR iinlcnn they could
succeed In bamboo/ling the people.
There wan no effort to aid the repub
licans when Judge Sullivan ran the
first time , nor yet when ex-Oovernor
llolcomh WIIH elected. They thought
that by getting the populist votes
coming their way they had a cinch
on the oIllo.OH , nnd they did at that
time , but now it Is different. They
are earnestly In for non-partisanship
provided mich non-partisanship will
Influence the voter to support Sulli
van -nnd republicans are considered
extremely clever fellows If they will
be non-partisan long enough to de
liver the hlgheHt judicial honor to a
democrat.
It appearH that their fusion with the
popullHts , having been so unprofltably
Hliort In Its desired effect , the demo
crats would now work a idirowd polit
ical scheme to fimo with the repub
licans. Otherwise , that on a plea of
non-partlHaimhlp In districts where
there Is no hope for u democratic vic
tory they will eiidorHo the republican
candidates , hoping thereby to Interest
the repiibllcann In voting for theli
candidate tor mipromo juuge. u uiuy
had commenced at the other end and
endorsed the republican state ticket ,
there might have been evidence of
sincerity , or had they given up their
candidates where they had majorities
It would have sounded hotter. It In not
worthy of note when none but hope
less minorities nro surrendered to the
people.
Something unique in a south Platte
paper Is an acknowledgment from the
Lincoln Star that the north Platte
country has some merits that arc de
serving of recognition. In speaking
of the territory in n wrlto-up of a trip
to IJonostool , 8. D. , n staff correspond-
out of the paper nays : "It in now
regarded ( hat the north Platte coun
try contains some of the host agricul
tural districts in the state and In many
of the places the best crops in the
west are produced. The Northwes
tern made n bold stroke when it loft
Fremont and wont northwest to Nor
folk nnd opened up n delightful coun
try. Corn nnd grains of all kinds
thrive abundantly nnd the glories of
this territory have been told In the
exhibits at state and county fairs.
It Is a picturesque country and well
deserves the mention which has been
made of It. Hut less Is known of
the territory beyond , between Norfolk
and Verdlgre , wiucn until mm year
was the terminal of the railroad coun
try. Out of Norfolk the road enters
a rich hay district that forms some
of the largest cattle ranches In Ne
braska and these cattle only Illustrate
the value of the farms. Corn Is also
raised and some wheat and oats ; but
tlio farmers and stock raisers have
discovered the secret of the north
land and have found that It IK better
to convert the products Into beef before -
fore selling them , and they have made
the cattle Industry the strength and
foundation of their fortunes. Sugar
beets are raised In all this country
and the sugar sent to all parts of the
country. "
PAKE STORIES.
It Is to hoped that every voter will
have the good sense to use his judg
ment and reasoning power in regard
to the fake stories of Judge Barnes
being the "railroad candidate" for the
supreme jndgeshlp.
In the first place those who person
ally know Mr. Hnrnes are satisfied
that there Is not n crooked streak in
htm , but that he Is straight ns a pine
and sound as an oak. Hut the major
Hy of those who must cast their volt
for or against him at the coming elec
tlon have neither the pleasure noi
the profit of such acquaintance , ant
must form their opinions from whai
they hear and read. It Is these when
wo ask to use reason.
No one will accuse the railroad pol
Itlclans of being fools. It Is well am
notoriously known that they are th <
sharpest , shrewdest fellows In th <
business. Therefore If they really desire
sire the election of Barnes , why shouli
they make the desire public , slnco b ;
parading the matter before the pub
lic the opposition has already admitted
thnt known railroad endorsement Is
a detriment to any candidate. It Is
certainly not because the railroad
men cannot keep a secret , for they are
acknowledged to bo past masters in
thnt art. Rather would the fact of
their open preference for a man Indi
cate that they desired his defeat.
But again , grant that the railroads
did favor Barnes' nomination , and
oven that does not compromise Barnes
in any manner whatsoever. The rail
roads could not have secured power
enough In the convention to have de
feated Barnes and they know it. In
the circumstances they had bettor ap
pear to favor a sure winner than to
risk his enmity after probable elec
tion.

The truth of It is that the opposi

This warm weather Is fine and all

for a pinch in the market.
During August the American coal
miners dug out of the ground 5,160-
400 tons of anthracite , which should
bo sufllclent to supply the majority
of American families using that fuel ,
but the barons evidently Intend to
keep it until consumers nro able or
willing to dig up the price asked.
It will bo found when the time for

it.

President Stlcknoy of tno Great
Western certainly has a flattering way
of attracting the attention of the people
ple to his road. Ills optimistic utterances -

to set asldo n little of their business
for it.
It is said that a gang of sharpers
are now working in some of the cities
m a C. O. D. packngo scheme , which
results In their getting the money
nnd their victim drawing worse than
a gold brick. Those who read the
papers are being put next to the fake
nnd are saving themselves numerous
dollars and much chagrin.
The American Grape Acid associa
tion of California has posted a reward
of 125,000 that will be paid to the
chemist or the scientist who will solve
the problem of extracting cream of
tartar from grapes. This should set
a number of the smart chemists of
the countrY to working over time
with the prospect of that nice little
wad before their mind's eye.
The London milliners have hit upon
the scheme of publicity to collect bills
long duo from some of the wealthy
and fashionable people of the Eng
lish metropolis. They have threat
ened to publish names In the Official
Gazette which would make the debt
ors ineligible to attend court func
tions , and the threat has done won
ders toward making some of them pay
up. The total amount duo to five
prominent costumcrs is moro than
$200.000.

Held Is bad enough , but when they
rub It in by calling the principal av
enue of the town "Washington" pa
tience ceases to bo a virtue and the
British rise up in indignant protest ,
and Insist on names not so pronounc
edly and patriotically American.
The Omaha World-Herald Is mak
ing a pretty fight In support of Judge
Sullivan's position on the famous Bl
blo decision , and calls on the repub
lican papers to publish the opinion
rendered , but Inasmuch as many of
them have not taken up the case
against the judge it is dllllcult to see
wherein they should take It up in his
behalf at the behest of the Omaha pa
per. If the Blblo case Is forced into
the campaign It will give It n char
acter that no one should particularly
desire.
Illinois has n way of dealing with
lynchors that may bo expected to bo
discouraging to Judge Lynch in that
state. Ten members of the mob who
attempted to break Into the jail nt
Danville to lynch a man , have been
given , .permission . to enter the peni
tentiary and work for the ntato with
out compensation. If mob law was
treated likewise in all states there
would noon bo an unpopularity at
tached to the method that would bo
discouraging to would-bo lynchern.
The latest from Colombia Is that
there is no hope for the isthmian ca
nal treaty. No extension of time has
boon asked by that government and
the time limit In which it can bo ac
cepted expires today. It would seem ,
therefore , that the Colombians nro
not desirous of having the United
States dig that ditch , but they may
live to regret their action in the mat
ter , as this country will some day
control Hiich a canal nnd will bo under
no obligation to that government In
Its management. It IH really opposi
tion of thin kind that makes the average -
ago person holding residence In the
United StateH determined , nnd with
the convening of congress Colombia
will undoubtedly be shown a sample
of such determination the kind that
wins.
* UKKIN1SU.
NON-PAHTIHANSHU .
The fusIonlstH arc making a very
attractive grand stand play for a nonpartisan -
partisan Judiciary that Is they pro
pose to give all they can of nothing
for enough votes to elect Judge Sul
livan If the republicans will permit
the wool to be drawn over their eyes
without n protest or an effort to as
certain how deep this "patriotic" sen
timent runs. The chief object , per
haps , In making this n non-partisan
campaign is that the democratic clerk
of the supreme court and all his dem
ocratic retlnuo may bo kept in office.
In this department there has not been
enough non-partisanship apparent to
give a republican oven a minor po
sition since thtr fualonists have had
a majority on the bench. There has
been something in these appoint
ments and non-partisanship could by
no means bo stretched far enough to
mean that a republican should have
any salary or glory that may be dis
pensed from there. Non-partisanship ,
from a fusion standpoint , was meant
for a purpose altogether different
from giving any ofllccs or chances
for olllce away.
To make tholr manifestations ap
pear sincere they consented to give
up nominations in certain districts ,
which is quite a concession from a
democratic standpoint , as the dem
ocratic itch for office or any rescm-
blonce thereto Is permanent nnd all-
pervading , nnd to give up even
this r/aist be considered a concession.
However this is all they give , and
should be accepted at its true merit
from a voter's standpoint.
In the second district , composed of
Cass and Otoo counties , the republi
cans have a majority , a certain ma
jority , ranging from ' 500 to 800 and
there is no possibility of n fusionist
being elected. With a fusion nominee
the best and strongest man those
parties could muster Paul Jessen ,
who Is the republican nominee and
very popular with all parties , would
have been elected by a majority of
anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000.
Here the fusionlsts have endorsed the
republican nominee. Gave up ab
solutely nothing but the expense and
chagrin of making a hopeless cam
paign , and in return they want re
publican votes where they will do
tlio most good for their nominee
for the supreme Judgeshlp.
In the Third district Lancaster
county It Is different , being worse
and more of It. The district Is safely
republican by a plurality of from
2,000 to H.OOO and here also the fu
sionlsts have magnanimously con
sented to withdraw from the Held
and endorse the republican nominee ,
hoping for a substnntilnl remunera
tion In votes for the fusion state
ticket. And no worry or work or ex
pense attached as there would be
with a fusionist in the Held.
In the fourth district the plot is
deeper and there is more at stake
than anywhere else. The district's
republican majority is well and cer
tainly up In the thousands , and the
republicans have kindly consented to
advance a few of the fusion nominees
in return for an endorsement of the
republican nominees , which is n
big concession , but to be certain that
that they are not taking the worst end
of the deal the fustonists will hero In
sist that the republicans owe them n
few votes for the head of the fusion
state ticket. Hero there are fifteen
candidates in the Held for ten posi
tions and some of them nro certain
to be elected.
In nil other districts of the stntc
where the fusionlsts hnvo any sorl
of a show of winning they are plac
Ing candidates In the Hold and preparing
paring for an aggressive campaign
with their desire for non-partlsanshlr
conflned solely to the state ticket In
favor of Judge Sullivan. Four year ?
ago eight districts of the flfteen Ir
the state elected fusion judges nml
they nro giving nwny no chances ol
having this repeated , but nro making
their non-partisan play lit districts
hopelessly lost to them on the vor >
start.

and the scrappers decided to whip

were so timid that it would bo neces
sary to deceive them. So they invited
the cowards into a secluded room on
pretense of taking a drink , and mak
ing up. After the four men were in
the room , tlio scrappers locked the
doors , nnd announced that the cow
ards would have to take a whipping.
The cowards begged and tried to got
out , but the scrappers spat on their
hands , and took off their coats , nnd
the flght began. Seeing they wore Infer
for it , the cowards then did their best.
A man who saw the two scrappers In
the hands of the doctors , says there
wasn't n spot on them as big as n

scared that they didn't quit when the
other follows wore whipped , and kept
on throwing hatchets and beer bottles ,
