The pope has expressed his disap

If a few moro years are added to the

As long as the condition of the go\

The Atlanta Constitution Is fearful
hat the democratic senators and con
gress will load the party Into a mighty
loop pit from which It can never hope
o emerge , If they continue In oppo
sition to the Panama canal treaty.
The Constitution speaks for a lot of
southern democrats who would rather
forsake the principles of Hryan , Jefferson -
forson and democracy than to have
the building of that canal interrupted
) r Interfered with. The question Islet
lot stronger In the north than In the
south , but there are a largo number
of republicans who feel the same way
ibout U , still they do not fear that the
democrats will over have an oppor
tunity to take the place of the admin
istration in Its support.

In the rural districts the farmers am
townspeople will have to cease their

fidence men who will willingly take
a generous share of the state's pros

business way Nebraska should keep
all the money.possible at homo , which
can bo done by patronizing homo
merchants , homo manufactures and
homo enterprises. Dollars that are
sent to the Chicago and Now York department
partmont stores may never again bo
counted in Nebraska's cash balance
and to the credit of the banks , As
long as the money Is In the state It
can bo counted as a portion of the
finance of the state and the chances
that It will again return to the hands
of the furmers are about ten times as
good as they would bo if sent out o
the state at first hand. To bo main
talncd as a state with money and
credit It will bo necessary for the pee
pie to oxorclso wise judgement in the
disposition of the money at their dls
posul , and it Is not wise judgement to
send it out of the state for things that
can bo bought at home.
Senator Hannn has again dcniei

and other politicians who have no ad

a wonderful temptation to make his
boom bigger than ever on the occa
blon of his re-election to the senate
today. Four years hence It may b
possible that the republican part }
will heed the democratic ndvlco am
nominate and elect Senator Hanna to
the highest office in the gift of the
people , but this year they canno
consent to the turning down of Roosevelt

Postmaster General Payne report
that the excess of expenditures eve
receipts In his department during th
past year were only $1,500,044.73
which Is more than a million less than
the estimated deficit at the commence

This is the day sot for Senator Hanna -
na to re-enter the senate with a rec
ord vote , and It will bo surprising if
those who have been booming him for
the republican presidential nomination
do not receive fresh inspiration , by
the achievment that has been fore
casted ever since the votes were
counted in his homo state. The repub
llcans have a majority of twenty-five
in the senate , and a majority of sixty
six in the house , making a total major
ity of ninety-one on joint ballot , am
It is expected that the senator will receive
coivo every republican vote In the legislature
islaturo , while the democrats mlgh
just as well make It unanimous , as
they can only muster fifty-two of the
one hundred and forty-three votes 01

He lands and buildings subject to the
action of the republican state conven

some time , but upon inquiry of Mr
Manning ho hesitated to announce his
candidacy until after consulting fur
ther with friends. He has boon nrge <
to be a candidate and gives It to the
press now that ho is in the hands o
his friends who assure him of a strong
support. Our attention has beei
called to it that in all of its htotorj

from the republican party , and i
would seem that this should bo takci
Into consideration at this time whei
the "south Platto" and the state house

asked for an office yet served the
county as commissioner by appoint
ment one term about fifteen years ago
and was a member of the state senate
In 1S89 , ono term , just before the pop
ullst enthusiasm swept the polltlca
map of the state. As state senator ho
was for the people and saved the state
largo sums by his good business qual
Itles. Ho came to Wayne county li
18S2 and engaged in farming am
stock feeding and breeding , having
six hundred acres of land and oftei
two thousand head of stock upon It
However , the financial crash of 1892-C
deprived him of much of his hare
earned fruitage of his early labors am
n further misfortune attended him in
the loss of his good right arm , bu
knowing no such thing as "failure" ho
has turned the energy of his youth to
the garnering of political honors tha
seem to bo well earned. Wayne conn
ty always feels honored by the fact o
a resident aspiring to a representative
place In our state's political flrmamen
and a loyal and hard working delega
tlon will assist In directing his cam
palgn. The people of the county per
sonally regard Mr. aiannlng very high

Senator Tlllman has lost confidence
n Ohio as a debatable ground for the

Nebraska opposition to President
Roosevelt appears to be so small and
Insignificant that it Is extremely dif
ficult to locate it , even in the ranks
of the fuslonlsts. A lot of them who
have never voted the republican tick
et , will have to bo shown a good and
strong man and a good and strong
reason , if they nro to bo convinced
that they should not vote for the pres
ent chief executive at the coming elec
tlon. There are hundreds who are nol
so bound by party ties that they wil
not vote to endorse a man who has
had the stamina and ability to stam
by the people in several Instances
where their rights have been threat
cned by the classes.
The Nebraska newspaper men , republicans
publicans , as well as democrats , do
not appear inclined to take off theh
hats and give the Nebraska yell over
the victory secured by Senator Diet
rich In the federal court. It Is con
ceded that Is was a splendid maneu
ver on the part of the senator's law
yers , but it was a long ways from
clearing him in the minds of his con
stitnents. It is good court tactics al
ways , for the attorneys to beat a case
at the earliest opportunity and thus rule
It off the docket , but when the case is
won as early in the proceedings as
was this clearance of Senator Diet
rich , there remains the suspicion that
a full review of the accusations might
not have shown an entire innocence
of the charges on the part of the defendant
fendant , and those who are rejoicing
with the senator over his escape are
very few.
Dunn's review of trade for the year
1903 gives the people of Nebraska an
other reason to rejoice In that the fall
ures In this state are away down in
the list in numbers and amount of li
abilities as compared with eastern
states , also that Nebraska failures
wore less numerous and less oxpon
slvo than during the year preceding
In fact the showing is moro creditable
to the west than to the older states
of the east. As the Review has it
"Minnesota reported three times ns
heavy liabilities as In 1902 , but Nebraska
braska and Colorado offset much of
this by making most encouraging ex
hlblts. " Nebraska's failures for the
year are given at ninety-seven , will
liabilities of less than half a million
or In exact figures , $334,200 , while for
1902 the failures In Nebraska were
100 and the liabilities $1,004,430 , nnd
that was considered a year of mucl
prosperity. The Nebraska failures
are designated as follows : aianufac
turcs eleven , liabilities $20,873 ; trad

ing eighty-three , liabilities $312,395 ;
other commercial three , liabilities
$938 ; banking two. With the sit
uation that confronts Nebraska at the
beginning of the now year there is
every reason to believe that there will
be as good a comparative showing at
the end of this year as there was dur
ing the past year. The bank deposits
are largo and healthy , business is
good , farmers have largo reserves of
grain , live stock and money , and the
prospects for crops during the coming
year are as good as could bo asked
this early In the season. Merchants ,
judging by local conditions , are hav
ing success In disposing of their ac
cumulation of winter goods and the
prospects are that they will have a
ready demand for the spring and sum
mer goods that will soon be exposed
on their shelves. There Is a general
feeling of confidence in the future
and in comparison with results fur
ther east , this fooling appears to be
fully justified. For such comparison
It is not necessary to go further east
than Iowa , whore the failures for 1903
are given at 318 , with liabilities
amounting to $1,839,751 , while for
1902 in the same state the failures
wore 271 , with liabilities of $1,519,302.
Further east the showing was less fa
vorable than In Iowa.
