Hill pronounces It nn ( deal cnntllilnto on nn Ideal platform , nnd that Is enough to queer the whole proposition with a largo num ber of voters. The Indications nro that politics ( will now ho buzzing around very live' ly In every state , county and pre cinct Judge Parker has spoken what more Is there to wait for ? The Oakland Independent says that It will not hereafter notice iiimes of baseball played on Sunday , which Is nothing If not a serious blow to Sunday baseball In that Im- tnodlato locality. Canada has taken a swipe at the American trusts by passing through the house of commons a bill aimed directly at the tobacco combine of this country and calculated to favor the Independent manufacturer. At the rate the railroads nro throwing their box cars onto Nebras ka sidings there cannot bo much doubt that those Important carriers expect n big business when It comes to moving the grain crop of the otflte. In deciding to support Mr. Parker for the presidency has Mr. Uryan forgotten the "common people , " or can he by some hocus pocus manipu lation of his thinking apparatus iin- nglne that August Uclmont nnd oth ers of his class are now "common people ? " - , The fuslonlsts are entitled to con- uldorablo anxiety between now and the time for the calling of the con vention to order tomorrow , but the Indications are that they have every thing all fixed and that the unruly ob jectors will bo promptly nnd eff.ec.tu- nlly dealt with. Everytlmo the price of nnthrnclto coal raises ten cents a ton the min ers get a raise of three per cent In wages If they are working , but the operators seem to have taken the precaution to see that there are few injners working when the price Is most likely to advance. It will look funny for the argument that the democrats have been using against the republicans on Wall street influence for the past two cam paigns to be thrown back In their faces now , and with n good deal more pertinency than when the democrats used it. But It is possible. The Nebraska democrats may take exceptions to what the republicans may say regarding the Wall street domination of the party , but they will hardly go back on Mr. Bryan to the extent of declaring that ho didn't know what he was talking about when be said that the party Is under the control of the Wall street element. The British in looking over the r Thibetan country think that they have found an Ideal agricultural dis trict , but It will be a long time be fore it is ready for any Immigration , and in the meantime the farmers will make no mistake in pulling a fortune out of Nebraska soil to pay for their passage there If they decide to go. The democrats should be able to extract some consolation from the fact that Judge Parker Is reputed to be an expert swimmer. By reason of this achievement the sage of Eso- pus may be able to prevent an entire and Irrevocable BUbmcrglnK when the llda ) wnvo of ropubllcnnlHin nweeps across the country early In Novem ber. A recent notable change from de mocracy to republicanism In the west Is that of Olnf Kidman , n promi nent young attorney of U rook In KB , 6. 1) . , who was nominated for attorney general by tha democratic conven- Ion recently held at Aberdeen. He lias embodied his reasons for the change In n letter to the democratic state chairman. Nebraska would bo. pleased t herd In this slate during the next few weeks all the Thomases who doubt that the state will over pro duce crops worth mentioning , If they have any butter prospects anywhere the Nebraska ! ) will have to bo shown , and It Is certain that there are no places whuro land Is cheaper than here that can raise better crops. Martin Langdon , chairman of the Douglas county populist committee , resigned at a recent meeting of the committee , after It was seen that fu sion was favored , and announced his Intention of voting for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. It nil seems toeiul In that direction , and fusion or no fu sion , the republican majorities In this state thin fall will undoubtedly bo the largest over recorded. Tom Watson of Georgia Is to be with the populists when they meet in state convention nt Lincoln on Wednesday nnd It In Intimated that whether ho accepts his nomination for the presidency or not depends somewhat on the attitude of the par ty hero regarding fusion. He does not propone to run alone nnd If his supporters jump Into the gold stand ard democratic wagon he Is likely to jump the job of trying for the presidency. It has been rumored for some tlmo that the Standard Oil company wns ono of the recent trusts to come out In support of the democratic ticket , nnd the demands that have boon made for oil to pour on tha troubled democratic waters In nil parts of the country Is Indication that the trust In looking for now and profita ble business has not made n mistake In acknowledging the democrats as the most likely patorns. The country has made rcmnrkablo advancement during the time It has been under republican rule. This may have been the result of the re publican iKillclos nnd it may have been Just n speck's of good fortune , ns is nllegod by the democrats. If the Inttor , few voters will cnro to Ily in the face of fortune and change the result , and If the former there is no question of what the majority of the voters should do , PO that from either viewpoint republican success Is the thing. If the republicans of New York re ally want Mr. Hoot for governor they should go nfter him with the same determination the republicans of the west went after and got Mr. lloosovolt when they wanted him to run for the olllco of vice president. It is not a mntter of doubt thnt every man can be influenced , and if the New York republicans renlly must have the ex-secretary and go after him properly they will bring him safely into the gubernatorial nomina tion regardless of his present an nounced preferences. The Cleveland democrats have not waited long enough for the people : o forget the last democratic adminis tration If they wish to win out at the coming election. They would have made no mistake In leaving the par ty In the hands of Mr. Bryan for four years longer to permit the lapse of memory on the part of the voters to got In its work. The rule of ' 92-90 Is altogether too recent. The old voters will need to die off nnd n new generation become of voting age , who knew nothing of those times , before democracy can hope for any large degree of success. Tomorrow the question of whether or not there will be a populist party in Nebraska deserving of the name will bo answered by the delegates , and the prospect nt this time Is that there will not , but that It will be n non-principled , nnythlng-for-ofllco affair that will not appeal to the honest voters of the state. The way the populists have been acting in the county conventions to name delegates Is that they care very lit tle what the result Is. They have been pretty well satisfied with the existing order of things and even with a straight out and out , honest populist ticket In the field the proba bllity Is that many of them will vote the republican ticket The Nellgh Yeoman does not be lieve there is any principle Involved whether the populists accept fusion or not , nnd thinks It purely a mat ter of policy , but It lays It down flat thnt the democrats should under * ntand that no Parker democrat can he nominated for governor by both parties and demands thnt the candi date for governor shall be n straight populist , Why , on the Yeoman's own platform , should the candidate for governor not be a democrat , nnd a Parker democrat at that , If the dele gates decide that "policy" demands such action ? If there Is no principle Involved , the best man and the best vote getter should he chosen regard- lesH of his politics. In other words , the man who might stnnd n chance of getting the olllco Is the one to select regardless of hlH beliefs. The Yeoman Is contradictory when It de mands a populist nominee , fmys thnt no principle Is Involved , but wants the most politic move inado. As for getting Parker democrat votes for n Htrnlght populist , It could hard ly be done , and If the populists nro In for fusion to get the most votes they should not begin laying down any fool speclllcntlons thnt the dele gates might not think It policy to follow. The republican pnrty hns been the ono from which nil the Important re forms of the country have come nnd It Is Its proper Held to undertake the movement thnt will bring the people from under the control of the trusts. It hns been swinging about to that point of view very rapidly in recent years as the trusts have been gain Ing In influence and power and the trusts have been steadily swinging nway to the support of Parker ever since his name was mentioned for the presidency. Through that party they will appeal to the people for the privilege of drawing the noose tighter , but Uicro Is reason to doubt their ability to secure sufficient In fluence and with another republican victory It Is safe to believe that they will feel the effects of judicious legls atlon for their control enforced by n fearless administration in the inter ests of the people. It will be a mighty battle when the time comes but the trusts have themselves thrown down the gauntlet by refus Ing to believe that It Is right that the laws governing their nctlon shouh he enforced nnd their self nssumei privileges curtailed. The people must win nnd they will win If they keep their heads and refuse to bo influenced or driven by the Wai street follows. The capitalists hnvo some of the best men in every com munlty out In their Interests am will make subtle appeals for supper of the democratic ticket , but the gooc Judgment of the American people should bo depended upon to safely carry the country through the or deal. The populists should not bo ca joled into again fusing on the demo cratic piomiso that fusion can carry Nebraska this fall except on the na tional ticket , nnd least of all the eglslatlvo ticket There may be re publicans and quite a number of them who are not partial to some of the present state officials , but this will not apply to the national or the egislatlve tickets , and the same poll- tics that w'ill influence them to carry the state for Roosevelt will dictate that the legislature should go repub- lean that a republican senator might be elected to support the president. A member of the republican state central committee has recently shown what an extravagant pipe dream the fuslonlsts are dreaming when they claim to see a possibility of carrying the legislature. The fact that they concede the state to Roosevelt velt Is In itself cause sufficient to concede the legislative ticket to the republicans. The figures show thnt In the Inst legislature there wore 105 republicans and twenty-eight fusionists - ists , and the returns show that the fuslonlsts might be conceded every republican member , or twenty-nine of them , who were elected by loss than 200 votes , nnd still the combin ed pnrties would Inck nineteen mem bers of controlling the legislature , nnd few of them when the mntter Is presented to them In this light will be so foolish ns to continue In the belief thnt the legislature would gofer for fusion. It Is the biggest sort of a pipe dream to believe that the state would give a large majority for Roosevelt and the republicans fall to elect the local men who are nomi nated for the legislature and by their personal work contribute to the suc cess of the party ticket There might be enough republicans to set a seal of disapproval on one or two state officers to elect fuslonlsts to their place's , but when It comes to the na tional and legislative tickets only one outcome can In fairness be fore told , and that is for republican suc cess. The Parker democrats who of fered Mr. Bryan the senatorshlp from Nebraska were either applying their soft soap indiscriminately or knew nothing of the situation In Ne braska on the legislative ticket If Judge Parker was not handl- nppcd by having both Wall street and Tammany hooked on to his cart , 10 might bo able to make a great ace with the start he has made. Judge Parker has finally pok iD and there Is relief In the hearts of ho politicians who have been wait- ng so long to know what the candi date the democrats have named might stand for. H required several columns to con- aln Mr. Parker's "yes" to the demo cratic committee. Almost any girl would have found the three letters amply sufficient on a far more mo mentous question. The democrats can now continue their negotiations with Mr. Tibbies ooklng toward the full and complete consummation of the fusion program. Perhaps , however , they will not con sider it worth while to bring him in to the fold. Mrs. Nation has been heard from again. Her latest and by far most sensible move was to contribute out of her earnings $1,500 for n home for the wives of drunken husbands nt Topcko. It was n politic inove nnd should bo the menus of still further Increasing her Income. The populists who fused will find out the prlco of their devotion to the democratic cause when they examine the returns on the state ticket this fall. They have not yet learned that a democrat will do things for the populists In convention that they will not consent to sustain at the polls , but they should wait for the returns In November to be shown. THE PARKER ADDRESS. Judge Parker's speech of accept ance Is now before the people for their consideration , and It must be admitted even by ills political ene mles that he has made ono of the ablest presentations of his position over made by a democratic nominee The beauty of the whole address Is that It Is clean. The republlcai party and Its lenders are dealt with Ii a manner that cannot be productive of 111 fooling for the democratic noml nee , and were Mr. Parker , the man alone concerned In the present con diet , ns judged by his nddross , It might well ndd to his strength , but there nro other considerations. In the first place Mr. Roosevelt is not loss dignified than he , and the pros poets for a clean and elevating cam palgn are flattering Indeed , nnd be twcen the two gentlemen In this par tlcular there Is no need of n change Those who have desired rndlcn changes nnd fiery denunciation's o such evils as exist will be the most disappointed in Parker. Ho Is verj mild and conservative in his treat ment of men and measures. Judge Parker Is positively in favor of the gold standard , and on one or two other questions he speaks out em phntlcally , but much of his address gives no indication to the public at largo what his attitude on various Interesting and Important issues might be. As for the gold standard there Is no need of a change. The present administration Is ns unalter ably In favor of gold as the mone tary standard of the country as he On the trust evil the judge gives no promise of Improvement. He would not change the present laws and while admitting that vigorous en forccmcnt Is needed he docs no1 state that he would fill the position as the anti-trust people would have him. On the tariff he can promise no reform for four years to come , am only on the Philippine question does ho seem inclined to take any radlca steps , giving Indication that Mr Cleveland's policy of dealing with outlying territory would be his , and that he would cut the Philippines adrift at the earliest possible oppor tunity. This position was a leading Issue In the last campaign , and in the campaign of twelve years ago and on both occasions the people emphatically spoke out for giving these Islands all the benefits of wise American direction In building them up to a state of higher clvlllzatloi and mure advanced government. Mr Parker's criticism that this govern ment Is not doing all that It can fo the Filipinos is an admission o American incompetency and he slan ders a people that are praised in other portions of his address. His statement that he cannot accept an other nomination sounds all right bu It would have had more strength I given utterance after first being assured surod that he would have a first term It Is a pleasing address , but there I no convincing argument that Amer : ca needs a change from Roosevelt tc Parker , and when consideration 1 given to whom Mr. Parker's closes political admirers and advisers are there will be ever } ' reason to believe that the people will be disinclined to make any experiments on the ques tlon. . , _ FRIENDS FEEL ENCOURAGED WITH CONDITION TODAY. HE 18 A ROYAL HIGHLANDER And Members of Hit Lodge at Pierce Have Already Raised $200 With a Possibility of $1,000 With Which to Prosecute the Assailant Olllo Caglc , In his roojnlng house on South Fifth street , Is a little Im- irovcd In condition today and there a n little more encouragement among ils friends and relatives who have eared nil of the week that ho might He. Pierce people and Norfolk friends ns well will be glnd to lenrn thnt the nnn who struck Cngle has been np- irchended by Chief of Police Knne. Thnt officer left Norfolk yesterday loon alone. He had planned to take with him one of the young men who wns with Cnglo on the night of the wounding , but took the noon train mt yesterday over the Northwestern , le arrived at York last night and within n few hours had his man in a stool cage. Cnglo Is a member of the Royal Highlanders and it Is said that the edge in Pierce has already raised $200 and can raise $1,000 for the pros ecution of the man who struck Cagle. SAYS PIERCE IS INDIGNANT. The Reason for Not Publishing Story Have Been Told Already. A. Cross , of Pierce , and Woods Cones were In Norfolk yesterday on business. According to Mr. Cross there is a belief In Pierce thnt the mntter of the wounding of Ollie Cn glo wns unpublished because of a desire on the part of The News to suppress the matter. Having read The News of Wednes day , which explained the reason why the story was not printed until it was that reason being that the story was Kept quiet and was not Known by the newspaper until It was print ed It Is to be presumed that Pierce people understand the circumstance. Doing reasonable , they can blame no one but the physicians and police who kept the matter quiet , not even telling Cngle's own relatives In Nor folk. Mr. Cross says that people In Pierce thought Dr. Alden had re quested that the story be kept quiet by the paper. That report is n mis take. Suffice It to say , The News would have published the story if the mat ter had been reported , just ns it die publish the facts when they were brought to view. There could have been no reason In sup pressing a matter of live news like that. If there had been , the story of the shooting of Louis Aultmnn would probably have been kept dark. Pierce people are reasonable. They certain ly understand. "Wo all appreciate the service you are giving us , " said Mr. Cross , In conclusion , "Although I am a demo crat , I read your paper first of all. ' OATS YIELDING WELL , FIFTY TO EIGHTY BUSHELS.

Wheat is generally poor , going from six to ten bushels , with nn occasional field yielding fifteen. Most of it is low grade. Now that the spell of cool weather is over , prospects are good for a late frost and an abundant corn crop , which is now very promising. Beck Back in Pierce. Pierce , Neb. , Aug. 12 , Special to The News : Hon. H. S. Beck , former ly president of the Pierce County bank but who recently severed his connection with that institution and moved away , returned to Pierce and will remain until nfter election. This Is looked upon as a shrewd move as Mr. Beck wields Influence in politics and ns this Is presidential year , it will cause the democrats and popu lists no small amount of worry. Mr. Beck represented the district in the state legislature In days gone by and has frequently been chairman of the county central committee.
