The man who Isn't ntlllctod with liny fever has little excuse for finding fault with the wuathor In August. Taggnrt has not yet given ovldonco of an ability like that of Jones to Improperly forecast the results of the election. , For eight years It has been the "enemy's country , " now It Is directing the campaign and furnishing the elnews of war. 't 'tn What enthusiasm the Ilrynn demo crats could stir up over Tom Watson 'i ' nnd his platform If only they wore 1 not democrats ! It is about n safe bat that the Japs will take Port Arthur , but the gen tlemen who desire a little uncertainty In thelr's will have to guess on the when. Sir Thomas Llpton has got to the point of Iminlrlng of yacht designers their probability of being able to build a winning Shamrock , but that will not cinch the race. Wall street may have the Inside track on the democratic party , but It will need to acquire considerable more headway before It has the coun try where It can control. The democrats have dona a great deal toward making Missouri a re publican state , nnd If the republicans can only do a fair share there will be a break In the ranks of the solid eouth. The state campaign is , as yet , rather on the quiet order , because the fu slonlsts do not appear to have been able to stir up the excitement and enthusiasm for their ticket that they rather expected to be able to show. If that Chicago strike only contin ues long enough to build up small packing plants In other towns and re store to activity the country slaughter house the people will have at the same time have escaped a condition dependent on the millionaire packers. Judge Parker Is now announcing that he will make few political speeches this campaign. lie Intends to give no more of his opinions to the public than is absolutely necessary , and expects the endorsement of the voters on the presumption that he Is right without telling them so. They are pretending In New York to be making : great and vigorous ef- fin In to harmntilte Tammany with the domnoratlo licked but perhaps nflor all they are hoping that the tiger will OcintliHio to sulk , having observed that It was of no poxslblo nnHlBtanco to Mr. llrynn In winning the election of 1000. Last but not least of the republican political program IN the choosing of candidates for representatives and Hmiatms. As It appears to bn the greatest hnpo of the domooratB to elect a nmjoilty In these bodies no an to pay the party's debt to Mr , Dry- an , It will ro < iulra of thn republicans that they nhould | iut up thulr best and strongest material. The democrats are not at nil cer tain about the Issue they will present to the people this fall as of para mount Importance , and are only cer tain that they want the people to have such a change us will elevate Ilium to power , This Ix not milllclont argument with the voters , however , and they will he compelled to show a hotter hand as the campaign ad vances If they ilcslro the support of any considerable number. Knrly In the season Texan was shipping potatoes to Nebraska , now the agriculturalists of this state are demanding a return of the Nebraski money by placing on the Texas mar ket Nebraska potatoes by the car- loud. The Nebraska crop promises to bo ( inn of nhundanco and the fallurt In other states will undoubtedly servo to bring a good price for It on tin markets. This state ban "spuds" o rare quality and before spring It I anticipated that the consumers will bo bidding high for them. The domncratlo party has been try ing quite hard to overtake the repub licans In the matter of advocating measures that will meet with popular approval and at the sumo time prove of henotU to the public , but they are always several years too late In gain ing the position and the questions are generally emphatically settled long before they arrived on the scene. They are now where the republicans stood years ago on curtain public questions. Just now they are endeavoring to catch up on the republican ninnotary plan , the plan for a larger and better navy , the Panama canal scheme , and ire slowly oruoplng up toward the re publican policy of protection to homo Industries. In the future they will ippvoneh the point ( if admitting thu justice and right of the republican policy In regard to the outlying Island possessions and some day they will ho generous In their praises of Rooso- \olt. In the meantime the lopubll- cnits , supported by the people , will bo dealing with the now questions that confront the country and taking care to keep the government at Its bust H has proven what It can nnd will do and there Is no general demand for a change. To all appearances A. A. Worsloy of llutto Is about the most pnpulai man among thu ftiHlonlstH of his sec tion of the country and the state a largo. At the recent state eonventloi ho was nominated for the otllco o commissioner of public lands am buildings. Ho had not much more than captured that honor than ho was told by the populists that ho wa the very man to act .In the capacity of speed-maker for lion , Moses P Klnknld In his record run agntns time for congressman of the big Sixth and was nominated with the under standing that he should \vltlulru\ from the state ticket. At the muotlnt. of the committee however , at Lincoln they refused to permit his withdrawn from thu state ticket , and ho Is In dilemma what to do. In the mean time It Is said that ho has boon noml natinl for the state senate from th Thirteenth district. The fioquoncy with which Mr. Worsley Is handed a nomination Is evidence of ono or two things : He must either be popular In the party. Is toady to complacently and uncomplainingly shoulder all the empty honors that his party and Its allies can bestow , or there Is a dearth of populist statesmen In his part of thu state and he Is compelled to take the several places on the ticket as an evidence that his party Is really a living and moving fact. The Kearney Democrat , In politics as its name Indicates , charges that the solo and only reason for the two fu sion parties putting up a state ticket this yenr was to afford trading ma terial on the legislative ticket that Mr. Bryan might bo sent to the sen ate. The lenders of neither party ex pect to elect a single democrat or populist to a state otllce , but they do expect It to afford good trading ma terial for the state senatorial and rep resentative candidates. It looks very much as though the convention was Intent only on giving to Mr. llryan the payment that had been promised by the national leaders In the event that the fuslonlsts are able to con trol in the legislative districts. For Bryan to bo thrown over the transom at the national convention was bad enough , In nil reason ; but when his friends and admirers attempt to pay the ntaloiuil party debt t o the former leader , after they had cast him out , by selling their entire ticket is dis graceful. If the Nebraska democrats and populists had wished to pny the party debt to Mr. Bryan nnd pour oil on the wounds ho received at St. Louis , they might nt least have at tempted nn honorable payment with out sacrificing all their other friends and nominees. Nebraska In thoroughly nonked , but t IB not waterlogged. There ronmlnn but little more than wo monthn until election. Thn Japs have politely requested lusala to get out and vacate Port Ar- hur and now they propone to kick hem out. The Japanese undoubtedly want 'ort Arthur bad enough ; but II Is expected that they will bo several lays In gutting possession. A funny proposition : "Wo have been n the wrong for the past eight years on the money question and the re publicans have been right , therefore vote for us" the democrats. A Hloux City dualor In campaign badges claims that ho has sold 100 Iloosuvelt emblems nnd but ten of the Parker kind , It Is about the ratio In which the Iowa vote will be regis tered. Some of the nominees on the fusion state ticket have wanted to pull off to try for Homo county or district of fice that they might stand a chance of winning , which Is not a nattering Indication of what they expect thn state ticket to got at the hands of the voters when election day arrives. Governor Mickey has designated September ft as labor day. Outside of Omaha and Lincoln It Is presumed that the larger part of the observance by laboring men will bo In labor. The holiday Is Intended to bo all right but outside of the cities that have labor rgnnlzatlons , It has small slgnlll- itnco. Employment ngonclos uro working dollar or two out of applicants for obs on thu Panama canal so froqnont- y that the government has given out a warning that no such agencies can ollvor the goods and the man who gives up his money to the sharpers has joon fleeced of the sums paid. The goveinment will do Its own hiring vhen the time arrives that ft needs aborors. The campaign Is not yet In perfect tinning trim. Itnsldus the luttors of loeeptanco of the national delegates , .hero tire the county , representative mil senatorial conventions , not to iicnUnn the ward and precinct enu- MISOM leading up to thorn. By the line the polls are open , however , It Is hoped to liavo all thu preliminary work out of the way. The real proposition : " \Ve demo crats , In convention assembled , do- clnro that wo want olllco ; now If you voters will support us wo will prom ise to do things ns the republican ! have done and In the republican way which Is right ; wo tried for your vote ; by promising to do different from tin republicans , but you wouldn't have us now will you have us If wo do jus like them ? " Nebraska Is too much ono sided this campaign to enjoy any large degree of the political excitement that will bo experienced In the doubtful states of the country , but It will come In for a sluira of political interest on its own account , no doubt , and some stir ring times may quite confidentially bo anticipated between this time nnd the date of election. Not a little of the Interest will bo on account of the fight for .state and district ofllcos. There Is some Interest In the Second end district regarding who will be the republican nominee for congress. Two years ago the election wont to Mr. Hitchcock of the World-Herald , be cause of the bitter fight made against Dave Mercer , both before and nttor the convention. This yenr It Is not improbable that the republicans will unite on a satisfactory man and Mr. Hitchcock will boshown that It was more his good fortune than fusion supremacy that landed him In the house of representatives. General Stossol was bravo when ho told the Japanese that no thougjit of surrender was in his mind , but at the same time he was evidently aware that ho was In n perilous situation ns he has bidden good bye to a friend In these words : "Farewell , forever. Port Arthur will bo my tomb. " The only advantage to Russia In the course pursued by the bravo otllcer will bo to delay the movement of the Japan ese nnd perhaps exact enough of the enemies' lives In forfeit to pay for Russian losses. Kven this seems like Inadequate payment for the loss of General Stossel and his bravo sol diers. Champ Clark is more inconsistent at times than other democrats. When In ono breath ho declared that the republicans desired to rule the country by assassination and In the next promised to cut the throat of the man who called him a liar , from ear to e.ir , ho gave strong evidence that he was ns bad as the republicans ho condemned , the only difference be ing that his threatened crime might have been considered murder with premeditation and malice afore thought , rather than assassination. The politicians nre soon to have straw to Indicate how the wind Is blowing and it will bo furnished by Vermont which holds Its election on September 6. There are no bets to be had against the proposition that It will go republican , but there Is n chance for doubt whether It will give a stronger republican majority than heretofore or a lighter vote. It will BOOH bo known , however , nnd on the tmtcomo will depend wliluh of the leading political parties will fool good and which will feel that the fight In turning ngalnnt them. Nebiaska should be n good duck and goose state. Nebraska may have popular votes for Uoosuvelt to spare , but It will not consent to give up any of Us votes In the ulectoial college. Thuiu seems to bo no reason to be lieve that President Hoosovelt will not poll his full party stongth , and add to It some democrat , populist and prohibition votes. The battle of the politicians may bo on some day , but It Is unreasonable to expect that It will gain great mo mentum while thu thermometer is busy registering 100 degrees In the uluido , This may not bo just all that could bo wished for adding to human com fort , but the comfort nnd healthfulness - ness of thu corn under the circum stances could scarcely bo Improved. Guessing contests have just been de clared Illegal by the Texas supreme ourt nnd nil guessing In that state ivor the outcome of the national elect Ion will have to bo without giving It ho appearance of a contest. Nebraska would cheerfully con- rlbuto a share of Its excess moisture o drouth-stricken Indiana or other dry states of the east If It could , but localise It cannot It will share willing ly of Its bountiful crops to keep the [ icoplo of leH.M fortunate regions In food until they are able to raise n crop. Tom Watson was not giving the lilies of his party any considerable * advantage In national politics when he said : "I have no words of abuse for Theodore Roosevelt. I bollove him to bo a brave , honest , conscientious man. I glvu him full credit for hav ing a splendid courage of conviction. " Bishop Potter's saloon has had a far-reaching effect , having dispersed throughout the country a hilarious effect that could only como of In toxication. The funny men of the newspapers are especially Intoxicated with the opportunity to poke fun at the good man s head , while In reli gious and piohlblllon circles the stult sold In the sub-way tavern has pro duced violences. Somn of the election prognostlcn- tors luivo placed Nebraska In the doubtful column ns a menus towart counting Parker Into the ofllco. II other states In the doubtful colunu are to cast their votes with Nebraski it Is safe to concede that the democrats crats haven't n ghost of a show foi an election. Fiction will require n reversal If the robberies In the thickly populated centers of the east are continued. Numerous authors have done their best to have the west appear as the scone of famous acts of outlawry , but the robbers who have Investigated , find the east a far more favorable place for their operations , and are just now devoting their attention to thnt section of the country. The activity shown by the czar In making reforms In the Russian em pire and In moving for forces with which to continue the war In the far east .since the arrival of his son and heir Is proof thnt the little boy bnby Is a most Important factor in the empire and had he arrived several months ngo there Is n likelihood thnt the Japanese would now be far less advanced In their undertaking ngnlnst the Russian forces. A Norfolk farmer has recently con structed a handsome new house , the lumber for which was cut out of trees planted by his own hand , and yet there are other farmers who hold that the planting- trees Is of no mate rial advantage In the way of acquir ing wealth. For years this success ful farmer's trees have sheltered his homo nnd his stock and assisted In conbervlng the moisture necessary to develop his crops ; now they have gone Into the construction of n home with only the cost of cutting the lum ber and the work of putting It togeth er. It is n rare Instance In Nebraska these days , but the rate nt which trees are lately being planted gives promise that in the future there will bo many homes , barns , nnd outbuild ings constructed of home-grown ma terial. The fuslonlsts are trying for votes with the promise or at least the Im plied promise that they can pay the stnto Indebtedness nnd the stnto run ning expenses with less money than thu republicans nnd that therefore the taxation will bo less under their gov ernment than under that of the re publicans. An election with such a promise to sustain would be a great er disaster than a defeat. The tax payers will be compelled to meet the Indebtedness of the state and pay the running expenses or BO further into debt whether it be under republican or fusion government and the party that will make the taxes heavy enough to meet these demands Is the ono de serving of support , because the sooner the debt Is wiped out the sooner will the property owners get rid of the Interest that Is now being paid In ad dition to the other expenses. ATCIII.HON ( ll.OIin SIGHTS. "You are eight years old,1' n man in Id to his boy , "but you have already liad more school books , more alntcn nnd more pencils than I had nil my life , " Ono of the funniest thlngn In n little town Is thu smnrt set. . Ono looks terrible when eating corn on the cob , but the feeling Is heaven ly. How a girl enjoys her brnld when It Is long enough to hang around her neck In front 1 If you cat corn on the cob don't ag gravate your offunso by mixing a mustnohu up In It. It Is one of the inexplicable attri butes of women thnt they really Jlke to get n long letter. The town drunknrd gets drunk so rcgtilnrly now thnt It IH generally hoped thut he won't live long. It Is unfortunate that this faith n woman hns In n worthless husband can't be cashed at n grocery store.

If n man Is sick and you say he ooks badly , you have no tact , and if , 'ou do not notice that ho Is sick you lave no heart , and there you nre. There seems to be something in go ng out of town. At leust four old girls In Atchlson have married this summer , nnd they got them out of own. When n mother has all her work done up and sits down to rest , the bn- iy discovers It and wakes nnd cries. Wo should really bo kinder con sldurlng that all of us nro undergoing the snmo kind of sorrow ? Growing old together. When n girl hns n girl visitor with all kinds of glad clothes , the pn- rado on the main street begins earlier and coven * more clrculous route. A girl will leave n line homo to follow the fortune of n poor young man ns cheerfully as she will , a little later give up her slice of cnko to the baby. A man was married In the country not long ngo. lie talked next dny of a divorce. Subject for discussion nt the Lancaster Literary society tonight. Why ? The man who says "Oh , fudge , " when ho fools profane , may bo a bet tor example to the children , but some how It doesn't seem that ho would lo ns much of a protection ngatnsl burglars In the night. This Is the season when n man goes home hot and cross from the ofllce and his wife meets him hot and cross from the kitchen , and pence hikes oul of the window to remain till the stir has gone down. In order to break his women folks of the hnblt of writing letters , an Atchlson mnn will not have anything In stationery outside of postal cards In the house. An Atchlson man Is never without hick of something to scold about. When everything else falls , he abuses his wife for the manner In which she neglects the grave of her first hus band. As n rule when you see n girl enter- tnlnlng n boy on the front porch you cnn depend upon It that she hns either telephoned nnd asked him to come , or ho Is making n party call , or they are engaged. An Atchlson man who is visiting at the seashore says ho sees sights that remind him of the summer when he was a grocer's delivery boy In Atchl son , and used to find women In their kitchens clad in ono piece. An Atchlson woman Is very Indig nant over two things : Ono thnt her son hns fallen in love , nnd wnnta to marry , and the other is that the girl was so unappreclatlve of her good luck thnt she refused him. An engagement lasted so long In Oak Mills recently that a year before the marriage took place , the man was scolding the girl when things didn't suit him , and she was nagging him. But they went on nnd got married be cause everybody expected them to , and they were ashomed to back out. The amateur entertainment given at Melnteer hull Inst night was , with ono or two exceptions , the rottenest thing of the kind ever seen In Atchlson. The Mnglng of Miss Rildno Farrlson was something awful , sounding most of the time like a pig squealing for romethlng to eat. Miss Miss Farlln- son Is n victim of politeness. Her fi lends pretend to enjoy her singing In private , whereas they were bored. They spurred her on to make herself extremely ridiculous last night , nnd did grent harm by not giving her n hint of the truth. The Londerson sis ters played a duet on the piano for fifteen minutes by the watch. It was simply awful , but the audience thought It would not be polite not to applaud ; nnd brought on a second nt tack which lasted ten minutes. The sisters were probably ruined for good housekeeping by this misap plied kindness of the audience. Fal- son Interson , a youth who should bo put to work , sang one of those maud lin popular songs about Sadie going away from home because her father would not keep her supplied with street car tickets. Fnlson loafs around with the girls too much , nnd he will never amount to anything. The violin lin solo by Miss Ancherly was too bad for description , and the accom panlment was no bettor , The recita tion by Annie Chanter and Allco Polnton wore the dame old thing , on the same old subject. Yet both were applauded , and their minds turned from the right channel of housework and dishwashing. It was nn unfortu nate nnd painful affair throughout , and no good can come of It.
