Congress will HOOII proceed to dem onstrate that tlio people of tlio country never did a wiser thing than lo east their votes an they did on tlio eighth day of Novuinbur. Tlio edges liavo certainly boon c.hlpped olT tlio Holld Houth and In a few inoro campaigns It niay penetrate to Iho very center of the duinooratlo Htionghold that republican policies nro , al'lur all , tlio best thing ever at tempted by the nation. * 0om Paul Krueger nmy liavo boon porHeculod and abused In his political nmltllloiiH. but Iho Htnloinont thai ho loft an ostnlo valued at R7fiO,000 , Is ovldoneo that ho did not need to lack In Iho comforts and , luxuries of llfo during his closing days. An Oklahoma girl inarrlud a base bull pltchor 0110 day and tlio next aho Nppoalod to the court for a divorce. If It lakes an Oklahoma girl bill one day to loam that she duos not want a man who should assuredly occupy at lensl ono day In consideration before she marrloa. China and Mexico arc both striving to attain Iho position of the United States on the gold standard , and Ihoy will probably succeed. Slnco Mr. I'nr- kor has declared the gold standard as Irrevocably fixed all countries that liavo not got It are hustling to plaeo themselves In lino. With her magnificent plurality for Roosevelt , Nebraska will probably not bo entirely Ignored when It comes to the dlHtrlbutlon of federal patronage. The state WIIH us strongly republican , nccordlng to the number of votes cast as any state In the union and It IH a stand In favor of republicanism that deserves iccognltlon. The financiers of America handled the half of $00,000,000 Japanese loan that wan assigned to them and the subscribers wore eager for more tl.au was available , Indicating that there Is no Immediate fear of Iho disintegra tion of the Island empire by the HUH- slim war Hoot , on the part of the weal thy men of the nation. The famous Render family of Mis souri Is as frciiuontly encountered as the famous 1'at Crowe of unenviable Omaha reputation. The Homier fam ily , Kate and her mother , has lately been rediscovered In California , and tomorrow mny bo found In Australia. The Benders are irmoug the famous really are , then they will not be able found everywhere. The democrat who knows what prin ciples he will probably be supporting and what candidate he will be voting for in li'OS ' Is deserving enough to have his name placed In the hall of fame. A guessing contest to deter mine who could come nearest the truth would bo sulllclently In the realm of doubt and uncertainty. It would seem , to make It a winner. Kansas Is beading tip toward the top among the banner republican states of the nation and If Nebraska wants to keep in sight of Its sister on the south in achievements of this sort she will have to hustle unite strenuously , hi 1S9G the Sunower state gave n plu rality of 12,000 for Bryan , but at the recent election her Hoosovolt plurality was 11 ! 1.000. Nebraska has made a similar Hop-over but not quite so strong. , if the tales told about the debauch- cry of Admiral llojestvensky's Hoot nro true , the men and ofllcers will probably continue to see Japanese tor pedo boats frequently , until they ar rive nt the points where the Japanese really are then they will not bo able to see anything but smoke , lire , splin ters and other evidences to Indicate that their Hoot formerly existed. Slnco the war commenced a weak ness produced by debauchery has re peatedly boon charged against the Russians and unless the admiral and his men now on their wqy to the far east are exceptions to the general rule the Japx will prolmbly make short work of them The report that Iho- Union Pacific has bought thn ( Jieut NVonlern , ( him Hecurlng conneetloim with Chicago will undoubtedly Inlluenco tin1 Chicago and NorlhwoHtern to hustle along \\llh lln plans for connections with Iho COIIH ! Theio has been a gradual Heveianee of relations between Itio Northwestern and Union Paellle ami they ar seem ingly destined to boMvr.la In the fn- tuio between Chicago and Iho coast. Norfolk and other towns along the main line of the Northwestern will un doubtedly draw benefit H fiom this ri valry. One of the notable pluralities In the past election In Nebraska was that of M. I' . Klnkald In the Sixth district , which has. up until two years ago , been represented by a popullHt In con- gresH. Mr. Klnkald WIIH known to bo popular In Ills district , but bis warm est friends and admirers wore hardly prepared to look it | > on the magnificent plurality by which ho overcame oppo- idtlon and the K,7r > 5 , by which he wan re-elected stands at Iho head of any plurality received by any Nebraska congressman , exceeding by almost a thousand the plurality received by CongicHsmau llurkett. The school of agriculture at Lincoln announces that the course of study will HOOII begin and It IH to be hoped that ( hero will bo an Increasing num ber of farmer boys to take advantage of the schooling that will bo given. There IH progress In HIP agricultural world , as well IIH In other department of enery , and In other states the pro gressing farmers nro particular to sao Hint their sons have all Iho ad vantages afforded by such liiHlltullons and the attendance Is Increasing from year lo year with the prospect that In the near future the educated farmer will bo considered IIH essential to the demands of the country as the educat ed minister or literary man. Certain It Is that science affords wonderful de velopment In the Hold of agriculture and the wlde-awako fanners are prompt to avail IhemHelves of Itn ad vantages. The "solid south" Is below the Mis souri slate lino. Senator Tlllman ban subsided and It would doubtless set well with the people to observe that Colorado had come under the Influences of modern civlll/.atlon. Walte has gone but ho appears to have had some successors who are capable of emulating his ex ample. The Omaha World-Herald Is now nt-1 tempting to drift the sentiment against the dynamite outragors Into politics , but the people of Iho nietnJp- oils are onto the World-Herald's tricks and will not bo drifted unless they are assured that such a course Is right from some other source. The government reports showing that Nebraska equalled Illinois In the amount of corn produced per acre and j oNcollod in the quality ot the crop Is .proof that "Undo Joe" Cannon was I dealing out no Idle ( lattery when he said that Nebraska was raising as ! good corn as the famous black soils I of the Sucker state. i With Nebraska crowding Illinois for first place-on the production of corn ! per acre and exceeding her In qual ity , there Is no longer a good reason why the people of that state should exert themselves In vain to got hold of a farm property at prices beyond I their reach when there Is Nebraska , land of nsgood a reputation to bo oh tallied for a small portion of the out- j lay. Wise men of the east are mov-1 Ing Nobruskawtml. It now remains to bo seen whether ! or not General Nogl can execute the I order and take Port Arthur. It Is really apparent that the possession of the town , the forts and the harbor is essential to the successes that the Jap anese have so far attained and it Is necessary that this should bo consum mated before the Russians arrive with their Hoots , because then the Japanese licet will bo compelled to turn Its at tention from Port Arthur to the Rus sian navy and that will keep them busy for n time , no doubt , without maintaining a blockade on the enemy In the harbor. „ A Clmdron tax payer proposes to ci'usado ' against the uon-residont prop erty owner by the assessor. IJe charg es that the non-rostdont holder -of realty values his property above sur rounding property , never makes an Improvement but waits for the sur rounding resident owners to so en hance the value of the property that the non-resldont will finally got his price nt the greatest profit. The resi dent tax-payer thinks that the non resident follow should bo liberally ap portioned taxes and compelled to keep bis property on the same grade re garding Improvement as that sur- roumllng'lt. - It seems probable that the fntnl ex pel fence of Piesldenl McKlnlcy at the Murrain exposition , IIIIH given the oil- ! cent at SI. LoulH an Indication of how piesldentlnl visits should be received , and the fact that there wan no dem onstration against President Roosevelt spcakH well for the energy of the men looking after his personal safety. Had President HooHovoll been threatened at St. Louis It Is probable that the people of the country would have en tered an unanimous protest against the visiting of expositions by presi dents , unless It might bo done Incog nito. Recent reports of bank clearances show HOIIIO magnificent Increases In the amount of business transacted. The repot Is from Dun and Hradstreet also Indicate a healthy condition In the biiHlnoHH world , and the fact that holiday stocks are moving satisfactor ily to Iho merchants IH another evi dence of prosperity. Beyond and above It all , however , IH the Individual feeling among the people that good times remain with thorn and with each securing a shaio. The Nebraska Independent declares that the populIslH have nothing to look for from Mr. Hryan ; that , In fact , ho never did hnvo use for the popu- llHtH otherwise than to secure their votes. It assorts that If tlio demo cratic parly dwindles down to Cleveland - land , Parker and HIM , Mr. Hrynn would niako the fourth mombor. The Indepehdent says : "It matters not what the democratic platforms are In the future they may demand high tariffs , big standing armies , the reenlistment - enlistment of Nick Illddle's old na tional bank , domination of railroads or anything else and Mr. Hrynn will bo found supporting the democratic candidates. Mr. Hryan Is simply an old fashioned dyed-ln-tho-wool , rock ribbed democrat. Populists In plan- j ulng for tlio future should always take j that fact Into consideration and In- i dulgo In no vain hopes that Mr. Bryan | will ever he any else than a democrat. i Mr. Hryan got the vote of populists 1 > > deception. It In IMIti or 1 ! > 00 ho had said to them , 'I will never leave the democratic party. Before i would do that I would go on the stump along with firiivcr C'litvnlliml nml rinvn Illll and advocate the election of a Wall street , gold standard candidate for the presidency , ' he would never have got n populist vote. But that Is just what ho did In the last campaign. Mr. Bry an Is honest. Ho Is aHllcted with the worst form of partisan Insanity over known In the United States. The case Is Incurable. " The leaders of democracy Insist that the party must advance. Indeed it must If It continues as a party. Less than four weeks remain until Christmas and the shopper who Is "up to HUH ft" Is looking for the holiday gifts. An eager public Is hoping that Dav id Bennett Hill will not deposit his po litical carcass on the upper shelf with out once more assuring it that he Is still a democrat. I There Is evidence that the cashier of the defunct O'Neill bank was a fn- slonlst. Only a populist or a radical democrat would think of leaving sixteen - , teen cents to one bank ns a symbol of the sacred ratio. The t'uslonlsts linvo not yet charged their defeat to the farmers who re mained In thn corn llnlila nml to vote. The evidence Is that they \\ero all at the polls at the proper time and failed to vote the fusion ticket. Mr. Bryan says that he has no Im mediate plans for a conference of dem ocratic leaders. Ho will probably wait for them to recover sulllcieutly to real ize that , perhaps , after all they are leaders and that there are a few of them left. Manager BIdwell declares that the Casper extension Is duo to the repre sentations of the Casper Commercial club regarding what lies beyond In Wyoming. Another proof that an ac tive commercial club is the thing for any enterprising town. . It Is said that two thousand vessels disappear every year and are never heard from again. The Japs have In creased the mortality among disap pearing vessels this year so that there should bo many moro than that on the statistics at the end of tlio year. There seems to bo but ono source of regret nt the manner in which Mis souri has done things at this past election and that is in the defeat of Senator Cockroll for ro-oloctlou. Rec ognizing the good things that are and have been democratic , however , the republicans will undoubtedly see to it that the nation docs not miss the ser vices of this democratic veteran. Russia has signified her pleasure in the proposal to enter into an arbitra tion treaty with .the United States. The c/iir Is probably pleased to think bat another of the ixnvers tnat might lave bothered her In the event of a world's war will ho eliminated by the .realy of peace. II can be told by looking at the al- uanac or a calendar that Thursday Is : he llrst day of December and the people ple are assured that these publica tions are fairly reliable In matters of this kind. The weather Is HO deter mined to discredit the almanac and calendar makers that the people re- liilre testimony to their reliability. Tln % program for the coming legis lature contemplates a largo reduction In appropriations , and It IK certain that there can be a reduction In the time spent by the session just as easily. It II up to the legislators to hold the beautiful republican majority In Ne braska good and the prospects are that It will do Its best In that particu lar. Mr. Rockefeller's Income from his savings In the Standard Oil company during the entire year have amounted to but $11,100,000. Ho has probably given out tlio statement at tills time with the hope 'that some generous friend will give him a purse of a few dollars for a Christmas present Jimt as an evidence of good faith that the wolf will bo kept from the door during his declining years. The candidacy of Judge Jackson of Nellgh for the speakershlp In the com Ing house of representatives Is being received with favor throughout the northern part of the state and his friends are unanimous In hoping that ho will carry off the honor and preside - side to the credit of the legislature , the republican parly and the state. llo Is eminently qualified and the legIslators - Islators can Hud no bettor man among thorn for the spoakershlp. The Nebraska Independent has been consult Ing w.lth Its renders over Its fu ture political course and has found up to the date of Its last publication that i 1,87 ; : of them were In favor of lude- ! pendent action : iml that ITd favored co-operation with the democrats. In view of the fact that It Is presumed Mr. Bryan will again take charge of the democratic orgunl/ntion , this vote of twelve to one against fusion Is sig nificant. Many of the populists are evidently done with the democrats , whether Mr. Hryan lends them or not. The State Journal expects to see the Japanese kill off the Russian re- InforcementH as fast ns they can bo brought to the front , and It Is alleged that the railway Is capable of trans porting about .15,000 men a month to the scene of activity. It Is said that the re-lnforcemeuts thus far received at Mukden will not moro than offset the losses of Kuropatkln , and the Japs are ready to dispose of the new bunch just as soon as Kuropatkln feels the spirit move that will lend him Into battle. The Japs have likewise been busy with reinforcement and in strengthening positions all this time. Mr. Bryan found It was a profitable Investment to make a losing race for the presidency and the piospects are that Judge Parker will likewise find that it pays to serve a minority party. It is already reported that ho has se emed two jobs , oacii paying about $12,000 , and with loss trouble at tached than the writing of n gold tel egram or appointment of a postmas ter. If It Is true that It la better to be right than to bo president , It Is likewise almost proven that , in tlnan- j clal matters , it Is bettor to lose than to win the piesldency. It Is only about three weeks mote fo the shortest day of the year , and tnero has been no winter worth the name. As the days begin to lengthen , however , will come the long reach of Borons. There Is a movement of a number of South Dakota families for South Af rica where they think there are bet ter advantages. If they do not make good they may never return , because the trip is too long to be undertaken twice in the life time of a man with out wealth. If Sir Edward Clark has been readIng - Ing the American papers ho will quick ly come to the conclusion that he is not considered of vital Importance to the country. Ho has made some talk , however , which Is more than can ho said of many of his moro conservative countrymen. Mr. Berge will probably give his ap proval to the action the circus trust Is taking to do away with free passes. Merchants nave been "bribed" for n long time now with passes to permit the placing in their windows of gaily colored lithographs , and the manage ments of the great circuses themselves have undertaken -reform. . The Hugh Gurney fine of ? 05 has been remitted and the Massachusetts automobile incident is now declared to bo officially closed. There was a good deal of red tape about the affair , but it has given Mr. Gurney quite ex- tensive advertising hero and at home , anil the governments foot the bill , so that ho should ho very well content. Thu mikado will probably now bo satisfied If ho finds Port Arthur In bis stocking Christmas morning. Tom Watson contemplates starting a magir/lno In No\v York , which should give the Commoner all the competi tion that Is necessary to bring It up tea a high standard for fhe perusal of the common peoplo. Sioux City Is feeling very cheerful over the opening of the Armour packIng - Ing plant at that place , and the enter prising people expect to see It ad vance lo n prominent plnco as a stock market. It Is one of the best towns In Iowa and Iho people of the outlying country hope It will succeed In all its undertakings to make n market of Importance to the northwest. A greater Norfolk may bo slow building at the present time , but it is coming and when the realization of the dreams of Its progressive citizens have been attained the present city will bo n more vlllngo In comparison. It has the location for a metropolis In north Nebraska and It will fulfill some of Iho wildest Ideals thai have been advanced for Its deovlopment some day. The nearest Nebraska plurality on presidential election to approach Roosevelt's Sfi.018 , was the plurality received by the Harrison electors oyer Cleveland In 1888 , U7.S7 : ! , which Is less than a third of the magnificent vote lolled up for Roosevelt. The third was the plurality for Gnrllold In 1880 , 2tiirifi. The Roosevelt plurality Is far beyond the greatest record ever made In the slate. The agricultural college at Ames , Iowa , has been taking some of the handsome premiums at the Interna tional stock exhibition at Chicago. Next to having the premiums taken by the Nebraska university people noth ing will give the people of this stale greater pleasure than to see the awards go to the sister state on the east , which , next to Nebraska , Is about as fine a state and containing as fine a class of people as there are In any slalo of the union. Advocates of tariff revision are now making Ihemsclves manlfesl and It Is urged from republican sources and ex pected that a republican congress will do the revising so that there will be no national issue by the time the dem ocrats think of again laklng a chance al the government. Business Interests - ests will trust to the republicans to do something along this line of effort If It Is needed , where they would be frightened Into a panic If it came as the result of campaign agitation. America Is very naturally In sympa thy with the movement In Russia b > the /emstvos to bring the government nearer the republican form. The pee pie are becoming too greatly enllght enod , even In Russia to much longer submit to a form of government that has been discarded In whole or inpait by all Iho civilized countries of the earth. Everywhere the people are be Ing gl\en gieater power and larger recognition In the management of gov ernmental affairs and the c/.ar and his advisors will some day find that the people will not longer submit to an Imperial form in which they liavo lit tle or nothing to say. Since America has sot the pace other governments liavo been rapidly taking up the dem ocratic form and there has been a minimum of dissatisfaction where the people have usurped the power of au tocrats. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. At least once a week a man ses the prettiest woman he ever saw In his lite. If.a man carves and serves in a manner satisfactory to his wife , he shouldn't hope to become a greater hero. In a very small town , there. Is the same demand that a widow remem ber her dignity , as there Is In all towns about a preacher. Those women who go on the theory that a few minutes waiting for meals makes no difference to their husbands , have another guess coming. Occasionally you find an American who Is so conceited because ho Is an American citizen , and free , that he never amounts to anything else. Another hope that deceives males only : That a man may buy a gun in the fall , and pay for its cost by spring In the difference in the meal bill.
