It Is rather discouraging to find out

American harvester companies who

Col. Henry Wattcrson In a recent
address said "Wo should strip the

hold It ready for the fray. " The chief
charm In this ouphonlus bit of ndvlco
IB the doubt ho leaves the reader In
ns to whether II IB the democracy or
the surplusage that Is to bo held for
the fray. Probably they will endeavor
to use the ono they think will cast the
most votes. What does Col. Walter-
B'OH mean by surplusage anyway ? If
lie refers to the radical element , the
nrynnltos , Hearstltcs and other lies
too numerous to mention , ho Is quite
likely to find that they will have some
thing to say about being stripped from
the party , and when It comes to the
convention "show down" Col. Walter-
son Is likely to find that his surplusage
Is the democratic party.
Chancellor Andrews Is being crit
icised for his speech In which he said

that rich men have some rights as

Columns of newspaper space have
been given over to the exploitation ol
the dlro disaster and woo resulting
from the scourge of yellow fever. But
as a matter of fact typhoid Is a far
greater menace to the health of the
nation , and yet less effort Is made to
stamp It out. When the country gets
as much concerned over this disease
which In every northern city ever.s
autumn claims scores of victims as
it has over Its southern and less dead

made In the cnro of the race and the

The people of the United States art

reclamation of this semi-desert trac

sections whore some rnln falls but no

a tract of land as large as tha state o
Texas , which Is now given over to
sago brush and cactus Marconi when
will grow with ten Inches of ralnfnl

the aero where ordinary grain Is a

chief botanist of the Agricultural de

President Roosevelt's success In

but In looking back over the wars In
which the United States has engaged
It hardly seems possible that any Inter
national conflict In which our coun
try has been Involved could have been
averted by the kindly offices of neu
tral powers. The causes have invar
iably been fundamental. Yet there Is
much to be gained by the president's
commendable activity. Any plan
which brings nations of differing alms
and traditions Into earnest conference
is calculated to promote a better un
derstanding and thereby peace.
WHAT MAKES A DEAD TOWN.
A gentleman in the city yesterday
from' Fullerton tells a story that fur
nishes nn example of what may be
done to a town under certain condi
tions. The gentleman'referred to has
been a resident of that town for moro
than twenty years and Is fully on the
Inside of what transpires there. In
the early days of the town and up tea
a few years ago , it was the hope and
ambition of people who llvo there that
it would some day become a thriving
western city. It Is splendidly located
to make a town of more than ordinary
Importance. It Is the county seat of
Xnnco county , has an opportunity ot
draw trade from ono of the richest
districts In Nebraska , has an abun
dance of water power to operate a
number of manufacturing plants but.
says the resident , the town is dead.
Nature 1ms- done much for the town but
the people have killed it. Its downfall
was started a few years ago when
thcro commenced to bo dissention
among the cltl/ens of the place.
Every llttlo trouble between business
men became public property , people
took sides and the merits of each
quarrel wcro tried on the street cor-
with the result that factions
wcro formed , and then factions within
factions , until thcro Is no unity of ac
tion along any line mid nothing can
) o done , nothing can ho oven proposed
that It Is not Immediately opposed by
.hose who belong to other factions
.ban the one tn which the man who
advanced the Idea belongs. It has now
como to the point that no ono offers
a suggestion for the betterment of the
town , bc'cnuso It Is known that there
arc enough "antls" to every Individual
! o kill any measure proposed , no mat
ter how meritorious.
It Is a bad condition for a town to
get Into. It not only moans the stop
page of all progress In the growth of
the city , but It means 111 will and hard
feelings among the people , which can
never bo fully eradicated. The object
of tolling this story Is to point out to
Norfolk the way that wo are drifting.
Wo nro rapidly reaching the point
where every proposition that Is sug
gested IB Immediately jumped on by
a small coterlo of "knockers , " who are
putting forth every effort to Increase
their numbers , and who insist that
unless the Ideas suggested by them
prevail nothing good can como of any
movement. If those people were really
and nt heart Interested In the welfare
of the town , when nn Idea Is proposed
which has for Its object the upbuilding
of the city , they would give It support
oven If It does not coincide with the
method that they think should bo em
ployed. When the city commenced
work on the Corporation gulch trou
ble , The News did not think the irght
method was being pursued , believing
that a solution of the problem was In
carrying the water down Fourteenth
street instead of Thirteenth , but it did
not commence to "knock" on the con
trary It commended the council for
making an honest effort toward reliev
ing the situation. The last flood dem
onstrated that the council were well
informed when they planned the work
as they did , ns the relief promised
was given.
What does It matter about the meth
ods employed , just so they are honor
able and secure the desired end ? It
is fair to give every person who has
an Idea an opportunity to develop It
It Is oven bettor to assist him , and
then if ho has not shown that his plan
will do what ho claims for It , it would
bo time to suggest a remedy.
The time was not so very many
years ago that there was the utmost
harmony In Norfolk , and any proposi
tion that was made that scorned good
for the town received the unanimous
support of everyone. Lot us quit
drifting away from that condition of
harmony , lot us pull together when the
good of the town is at stake , let us not
"knock" until wo know that the plan
proposed will not do what is claimed
for it. Above all. let us not got into
the condition that Fullerton is.

WEDS HIS RIVAL.
He Paid Her Fare But She Traveled

His hopes of bliss dashed to earth
and his faith In womankind seriously
shaken , Fritz Schultz returned yester
day from Ellis Island , where ho had
reason to believe his sweetheart ,
Frieda Luhrs , was anxiously awaiting
his coming , says a Now York dispatch.
She was there , ho found on his ar
rival , and was anxious because of the
fact that , although the savings of Fritz
had been spent for her passage money ,
she arrived as Fran August Wagner ,
and Herr Wagner was with her. Fritz
at once recognized in him n hated rival
for the hand of Frieda , whom ho had
left behind in the German town of
Dusseldorf.
To the Immigration officials Fritz
told the story of his coining to Ameri
ca two and a half years ago to make
a homo for his Intended bride. The
oillcials looked over August and Frieda
and decided they would bo valuable
acquisitions to the ranks of the Gor

TELEGRAPHERS GET RAISE.
Operators on Chicago and Northwest
ern Will Receive Higher Wages.
Sioux City Tribune : The telegra
phers of the Northwestern railroad sys
tem have received news of a substan
tial Increase In wages. The committee-
representing the Order of Railway
Telegraphers of the Chicago and
Northwestern railway system , the
members of which have been holding
dally conferences with the officials the
past month regarding a now schedule ,
have finished their labors and a meet
ing of the committee with the operat
ors of the Galena division and of the
Peorla line was held In Sterling , 111.
A draft of the now schedule was
road. It provides for a substantial in
crease in wages over each division of
the entire system , graded according to
the different offices. The committee ,
as well ns the Individual employes , is
well pleased with the treatment re
ceived nt the hands of the company of
ficials. The raise In wages follows a
similar wage Increase granted about
a year ago. The Northwestern com
pany docs not propose to neglect the
men holding the responsible position
of train dispatcher and operator , along-
its lines and the Increase In wages
about to bo granted will make the pay
of the Northwestern key men equal
to that on any road In the middle west.
