The republican campaign text book
Is out nnd from thin time on the op
ji position will receive hot shot all
along the line from an authorltatlvu
source.
The campaign will certainly be
bubbling and rolling now within a
vary short spnoo of tlmo nnd there
will be excitement for the multitude
ns well ns for the candidates 'and the
politicians.
If the Japanese have nil but three
ol' Port Arthur's defenses she may

which Is about ns logical a fore

The democrats of the west may be
expected to do like those of the east
have done the past two campaigns
Bay vary little about the political
situation , bitt swut their party hard
when It comes time to vote.
Nebraska Is going on record with
oats , producing better than 100 bush
els to the acre In this year when some
of the states further east and sup
posed to bo better In an agricultural
way , will be lucky If they get a quar
ter that much grain from an acre.
Stand up for Nebraska.
The Nebraska stnto fair Is on next
week , nnd If there nro In the country
any scoffers , doubters or others who
do not recognize the pre-eminence of
Nebraska as n crop state , they are
*
urgently requested to be present nnd
see for themselves what the soil nnd
climate here will produce.
The enemy has been furnishing the
republicans more ammunition than
during the average political contest
with which to nsault the works and
cripple the lighters. Quotations from
present nnd former democratic lend
ers are the best material In the stock
of the republican orators nnd editors.

Some ono has been tlgnrlnr out

If lloyd county Is able to show up

Mr. lirynn said during the heat of
ono of his campaigns that If the re
publican party should bo successful
and the gold standard adopted Imperi
alism would have the republic In Its
grip and celebrations of the Fourth of
of July would pass away. Ho Is now
supporting a candidate who promises
If elected to carefully sco to It that
the gold standard la faithfully preserved -
served , It Is a remarkable shift of
position , but those who have- ob
served Mr. lirynn through two com-
palgns will readily concede that ho la
qutto capable of the maneuver.

Some of the anti-fusion papers have
taken to running tlio national ticket
at tlio head of theJr editorial columns
und omitting the state ticket , nnd
strange as It may suem , one of the
notnblo Instances of this sort Is fur
nished by the Custor lleacon , n popu
list .sheet. It would be presumed that
the populists had the best of the
deal as far as the ticket Is concerned ,
hut that It not what alls the Deacon.
U 1st huh opeless untangling of prin
ciples which the fuslonlsts have en
tered Into thnt disgusts the lleacon
editor nnd he Is dotonulnod to keep
his skirts out ofth o mlro by going

cucstances nnd Ignoring the fact that
there la any but a populist -national
ticket In the Held.
Nevada has some silver voters who
nro not going to vote for a gold can
didate and n gold plank If they can
avoid It , nnd they see n possibility of
avoiding It by supporting Watson and
Tibbies , who nro for free stiver be
yond n doubt , nnd they propose to do
It regardless of the fnct thnt their
loyalty to democracy might be Im
pugned. There Is a probability that
the action of the democratic national
convention , and Parker , may cost the
democrats the three Nevada votes
that they have been counting ns
theirs , for Nebraska has been un-
donledly democratic because of that
party's position on the stiver ques
tion. With nothing further to hope
for In that direction n great slump In
the democratic vote there Is to be
expected. The state went better than
four to ono for Uryan In 1S96 , Bryan's
vote being 7,803 , nnd McKInley's 1,938.
In 1900 , the state went considerably
less than two to ono for Uryan , his
vote being 6,347 , und that of McKInley -
ley 3,819. While this leaves an ap
parently hopeless democratic plurali
ty for the republicans to overcome , It
would not be surprising If Parker's
telegram would accomplish It for
thorn. The bolting of forty-live delegates -
gates from the recent stat * conven
tion nnd their decision to support
Watson nnd Tibbies Is an Indication
'of the drift of sentiment there.
In another week an anxious public
will learn how Malno KOCH.
Judge Parker might try Mtandlng
on the republican platform entirely If
ho finds that the gold plank he ex
tracted from It la likely to prove pop
ular.
Senator Hour npprarn to be deter
mined to live as long aa possible nnd
long enough to disqualify his doctors
as progixistlcaturn of the final action
In his notujilo career.
A alugglng match like thnt between
JeffnrloN and Munroo the other night
may ho Interesting and well worth
seeing In the opinion of some , but the
description la amply milllclent to satis
fy others.
Tliti republican party shirks no du
ty and It usually manages to get on
the popular aide of questions , ao thnt
It la entitled to n popular endorsement
of Its actions when election day nr-
rlvcB.
It In hard to understand Andrew
Carnegie. He says ho desires to die
n poor man , yet ho boldly refuses to
visit the fair nt St. Louis or to take
other means at his command for dis
posing of his wealth.
The democrats dodge that frco sil
ver plank Just In tltno to save
themselves additional embarrassment
In maintaining as true what Mr. llry-
an said , that the price of wheat keeps
even pace with that of sliver.
Judge Parker's conclusion that the
gold standard. IH ( Irmly and Irrevoca
bly established , was only reached af
ter ho had done as much ns his vote
could do to plnce the government on
n silver basis nt the rntlo of 16 to 1.
The strikes mny ho creating dis
tress In the localities whore they cen
ter , but so far aa the western country
la concerned business Is moving along
without a tremor , nnd there scorns to
bo an Increase rather than n decrease
In the prosperity.
The scrlpturca advlsu the people to
take no thought of the morrow , but
what the democrats would most lllco
to see blotted from the record Is yes
terday. They could make choice prom
ises for the future If only the past
would not confront them with Us
record concerning promises nnd other
things
The republicans do not need to do
much arguing during thin presiden
tial campaign. All they need to do
IH to turn loose the democratic utter
ances of previous campaigns and set
them on the present da } ' arguments
of thnt party. If that don't put thorn
out of business nothing will.
The Japanese have decided to give
Port Arthur a brief respite and turn
their attention to Kuropatkln , whom
they hope to have vanquished In very
short order. The attacks on Port Ar-
thus have proven too costly In men
for the advantages thnt have been
gained and they propose to proceed as
certainly , If more Blowly , without snc-
rlllclim : ns many lives.
Nebraska Is feeling very thoroughly
sntlsllud with her prospects of an
abundant crop to bo disposed of nt
prices thnt guarantee n good proltt-to
the tiller of the soil. With nil this ,
there Is an abundance of good land
yet to bo had that will contribute to
the success of others who nsplre to
own n good Nebraska farm homo and
get some of the pro Ills thnt It Is cer
tain to bring.
The latest conservative estimate Is
that Nebraska will bo for Roosevelt
by nt least 50,000 plurality , but the
democrats have two months In which
to reduce that majority somewhat It
they will get busy along the lines that
will appeal to the people , but they can
not hope In that two months to en
tirely overcome the sentiment which
at this tlmo promise the republicans
the stnto by 50,000.
Chairman Cortelyou Isn't saying
much but Is said to bo patiently
"sawing wood" for the republican
ticket , nnd the older campnlgn man
agers have expressed astonishment nt
the remarkable facility with which he
has taken hold of affairs nnd is shap
ing them to bring results when elec
tion dny arrives. They are entitled
to greater astonishment when the
votes nre counted.
Senator Hill says that the states
which four and eight years ago were
In the doubtful column nre now lined
up for Parker. The senator must be
getting reckless In his statements In
his old nge. Nebraska nnd South Da
kota were then In the doubtful col
umn , but the people here nro too nenr
Missouri to lot such n statement ns
Dave Hill's go unchallenged. There
nro no democrats here with the ef
frontery to say they are lined up for
Parker this year.
Some people are looking for some
thing for nothing nnd It Is not sur
prising that thu democrats should fall
Into the popular conception nnd ask
n free gift of the people. They have
nothing now In the way of Issues ;
they nre able to offer nothing in the
way of reform ; they cannot assure the
people that they have a better man
for the office than the republican can
didate , nnd they nro by no means cer
tain that the country would bo bone-
fitted by n change of administration ,
however If the people will give them
the offices thnt will be sufficient for
present ncedi nnd they will be duly
grateful.
All the grent guns of nil political
parties nppenr to bo confining their
efforla to the cast nnd thu doubtful
states thus fnr In the campaign , nnd
there la n decided derth of political
eloquence In the west. Perhaps , Inter
In the campaign n few orators of na
tional fame will be swung out this
way , juat na n matter of formality.
With the leaders the west la looked
upon as having already voted , nnd the
result la considered as cut nnd dried
na the Chicago convention ever dared
to bo.
Many farmers arc undoubtedly In
fluenced to hurry their wheat crop to
the market by the very excellent pri
ces that nro being paid , but If the
situation la anything ncnr ns bad na
has boon painted by the crop experts ,
the wise farmer will bo the ono who
will hold hla crop until later In the
season , With the new grain starting
In nt n dollar n bushel It would not
bo astonishing If It should bo double
that price before 'another crop Is
ready to bo marketed. If the situa
tion haa been exaggerated , however ,
the wise farmer will got hla grain to
the market at his earliest poslble con
venience.
There nro those , nnd they arc not
Russians either , who continue to fear
that Japan will bo wiped off the map
by HtiHsta , In spite of the wonderful
showing that him been made by the
llttlo brown men In the present con-
Diet. Perhaps If It came to n contest
of wiping ona or the other of the nn-
tloiiH out , that would bo the result ns
the Jnps could scarcely hope to
march upon St. Petersburg nnd take
It , but ns far as the situation in the
far east Is' concerned , regarding the
control of Manchuria and Corca , the
Japanese nro undoubtedly In n fair
way to drive the Ilustans , nnd dic
tate the policy thnt shall prevail In
thnt portion of the world. Russln may ,
In the course of ycnrs , prepare to reassert -
assort her swny there but for this
tlmo It Is not doubted that the Japs
will win and control.
It Is not the best corporations thnt
have tholr InllnenccH nt work to encompass -
compass the defeat of President Roosevelt
velt If possible , but those organiza
tions that want no law nnd no en
forcement of law , those that seek n
wide license to steal nnd rob the people
ple ns they wish without let or hin
drance. The president nnd the repub
licans In general , In fnct nil people
who luivc no fanatical streak In their
make-up , nro willing to concede that
them nro corporations and organiza
tions of capital that are of benollt to
the country. At the name tlmo they
realize that there are Influences at
work In thu business world thnt must
bo curbed , and It Is sUch that have
reason to fear President Roosevelt.
Ho has taken n determined stand In
behalf of the people nnd mny bo ex
pected to maintain that position af
ter his election. That Is the reason
there Is a largo Influence at work to
accomplish his dofent and It would
bo disappointing to the people In general -
oral If they should bo successful.
That the people In general should
he Interested In the prevention of
strikes nnd In the early settlement of
them when they begin , has quite a
forcible testimonial right here In Ne
braska , Douglas county officials hav
ing estimated that It has cost $16,000
to maintain order nt South Omaha
during the progress of the strike.
This expense does not come out of
the exchequers of the packers , nor
yet from the pockets of the strikers ,
but the people nro compelled to meet
It from the general expense fund of
the state or the county. Resides this
there nre other expenses to bo mot
by those not personally interested ono
way or another in the strikes , par
ticularly In the Increased cost of liv
ing , nud no benefits nre to be de
rived. The public usually takes nn
Interest ono wny or another In the
strikes , but It la such nn Interest' ' ns
Is shown In every conflict. For the
well being of nil n movement should
be fnvored thnt would make strikes
Impracticable nnd If that could not
be worked the public should take nn
Interest In effecting their Immediate
adjustment.
In another week the children nnd
young people will again be devoting
their attention to the school duties
that have been laid aside during the
long summer vacation of three
months , and they will continue to absorb
serb knowledge through the nine
months between then nnd spring to
the advantage of themselves , their
family nnd their country. In no
country In the world la more Import-
nnce attached to nn oducntlon than
In America , nnd In no other country
Is It so easily obtained. Yet there are
young people , nnd boys especially , who
do not realize the benefits to be de
rived nnd permit golden opportuni
ties to pnss thnt they would give the
best part of tholr lives to recover In
nfter yenrs. Girls go to school be-
cniiRo they do not have ns much to
urge their attention outside of school
ns boys , but the boys nro most greatly
In need of the education In their
walks through life. There nro few
schools hut thnt graduate more girls
than hpys , nnd as , the school year approaches
preaches parents should .give the mat
ter their earnest consideration nnd
cornl the boys. They will ncqulro
something of value to them through
out life nnd it isnn Investment that
will pay returns to keep them In
school.
Campaign mnnngorfl are juat now
looking for good things. Wonder If
they have thought of trying to In
duce Mra. Maybrlck to go on the

It has been announced that George
Fred Williams will tnko no pnrt in
the democratic campaign , nnd re
publicans have considered that they
nro losing out on ono of the beat
propOBltlons of the two preceding cam
paigns. Perhaps they might be In
duced to contribute something toward
Inflenclng Mr. Williams to change his
mind.
General Grosvenor , who has some
thing of a record In making campaign
prognostications glvea It out cold
that ' "Roosevelt will carry every state
west of the AllogheneyH and north of
the Ohio river , west to the Pn.clfic
slope. " This covers n largo portion
of the United States nnd unless the
democrats can prove that the general
has erred the battle Is an good as
lost.
It begins to look na though the Rus
sians under General Kuropatkln were
to bo compelled to make n show of
their strength by the Japanese who
nro forcing them Into battle nt all
points , nnd the decisive engagement
of the campaign Is supposed to bo
In progress. Kuropatkln has been
permitted to choose his own grounds
nnd if ho la routed nnd dofonted the
Japanese will bo In control of the
situation , nnd all that remains will
bo to encompass the overthrow of
Port Arthur , which Is admittedly Inse
cure.
There Is n sight at Lincoln that will
effectually combat any notion that
people may have that Nebraska Is not
In the garden spot of the world. The
state fnlr Is n grent exhibition cnl-
culnted to disabuse the minds of those
who hnve formed wrong conceptions
of Nebraska as a stnto advancing In
development , growing In wealth an
manufactures and attaining Intellec
tual perfection , and It Is particularly
to bo desired thnt the people of the
east , having wrong Ideas of Nebraska
might bo Induced to visit tlio fnlr
nnd look over the fertile fields of the
state.
Since the Gnlnsboro Incident there
nppeais to bo quite n general epidemic
of mob Inw nnd rare troubles sweepIng -
Ing ever the country , nnd the problem
may bo expected to be worked up In
all its horrid details before It again
subsides. These spasms of race , ha
tred nppenr to be Increasing in Im
portance with each year nnd some
dny the tlmo will como when the prob
lem will either bo settled and settled
right , or there will bo n massacio or
something equally ns repulsive , that
will put the American people to shnmo
nnd cause the Turks to nppenr ns

A large crowd of people turned out
nt the stnte fnlr grounds Tuesday to
see Dan Patch do something In less
thnn n minute nnd they were disap
pointed nnd claimed n bunco deal
when the famous Dan wnu led out on
the track by a halter strap and the
announcement made that he could nol
be exhibited because the track was
wet nnd muddy nnd the bluo-bloodei
animal could not bo permitted to
make the run before the next day. The
people might have been unreasonable
In expecting the dainty piece of horse
flesh to soil his hoofs , but the manage
ment might fairly have Insisted that
the brute do his best and If his bes
wns disappointing to try it over the
next day.
Nebraska Is going on record In nl
lines of achievement nnd production
nnd Just now Is busy demonstrating
thnt the stnte cnn raise nn abundance
of fruit of excellent quality. A few
years ago the people here looked to
the extreme west or the east for It
supply of fruit , , but this year almos
nil the fruit that the trade demand
Is grown right hero nt home. Smal
fruits , peaches , apples , plums , ant
other fruit , home grown , have been
plentiful on the market nt prices thn
cnnnot be mot by the fruit grower
of the enst nnd west , nnd with th
showing made this year , the forecas
is Justified that In n very few year
more Nebrnskn will grow nil the frul
thnt is wanted for locnl consumption
nnd place thousands of bushels on
the general market for neighboring
states. The soil and climate are nl
thnt cnn bo desired , nnd only th
planting of the trees nnd bushes an
vines are needed to bring the frul
production up to a high standnrd. No
braskn is n grent stnte , but Its limit
less resources have but farily com

Edward. Atkinson , the noted econo

ndvlco there need bo no harmful of
ferts from the use of the weed. Th
proper ngo to begin the use of to
bacco according to this learned gentleman
(
tloman , Is sixty-five , that Is when h
commenced , and previous to that tlm
e had been acquiring a place In th *

that tobacco gives me n grent donl
