The unlqno baseball game planned

In Massachusetts the position of
lieutenant governor Is a stopping stone
to the seat of governor nnd the man
who worthily servos his apprenticeship
as lieutenant governor Invariably gets
the nomination for the higher olllco.
That would bo a mighty good Idea for
Nebraska to work out. In the pant
there have boon times when the non
tenant governor became governor by
accident , and the wtato lived to see
the day that that condition was regret -
grot tod.
Now that It Is learned that the dig
ging of the canal which Is to drain the
woat end of Norfolk , will cost Madison
county but a nominal sum , and that
the expense of the digging will bo
taxed up against the property owners
who are to bo benefited In the end ,
the people living throughout the coun
ty will need to have no alarm over the
situation. And It la further learned
that the llrst estimates of the cost
were wildly exaggerated , and that the
ditch will not bo nearly so expensive
as had been believed. The ditch will
nave the taxpayers of both the city of
Norfolk and the county of Madison
many hundreds of dollars each year on

The Russian czar made professions
of wanting to do the square thing to

speech , In which ho said that there
could bo nothing that had been asked
by the lower house , was like throwIng -
Ing a red rag In the face of a
bull , and trouble that has boon
brewing for many moons over there
may very easily bo expected as a re
sult. There Is no race of people on
earth which , after having been
whipped Into line and downtrodden as
the Russian peasants have , will not
eventually revolt. Russia has stood as
the most cruel and brutal of all the
world's governments In her treatment
of the peasantry and It now looks as
though the revenge for all of the terms
that have been served by Innocent'per
sons in Siberia , might como at last.
The loss of the military post at
Port Nlobrnra will bo felt by the whole
of northern Nebraska , nnd especially
by the Third district , which is n grain-
raising section. This post has been
the means of using hundreds of thou
sands of dollars' worth of the food
products of the Third district of Ne
braska for many , many years. And
yet , for all wo have ( In name ) a con
gressional representative at Washing
ton , this fort Is to bo abandoned with
out so ranch as n gun being fired by
that same , In an effort to hold the post.
Perhaps ho hasn't the ammunition that
is required to fire guns In congress.
There wns a chance for Mr. McCarthy ,
who has now had four years of expe
rience and who ought to bo by this
time able to find his way around the
capltol building , to do something for
his constituents. But then , who ever
hoard of McCarthy , In all of his four
years , doing anything for his constitu
ents but forgetting them ?
HAVE TO BE SHOWN.
McCarthy has made just as good a
record in congress as any other man
could make In the same length of
tlrno. It Is just as easy to make a
four-year-old mule in a mlnnto as it Is
to make a leader In congress In one
or two terms. McCarthy has worked
hard and has accomplished a good
deal. Ho now has four years of train
Ing and experience behind him and Is
Just that much better qualified for the
olllco than a now and unexperienced
man would be. Ponder Republic.
It will be a hard matter to convince
the Third Nebraska voters that J. F.
Boyd or W. W. Young , either one ,
could not , In a month at congress ,
make more of a showing and take a
more prominent part In at least ono
bit of Important legislation than Mr.
McCarthy hn taken during his entire
career at Washington.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Once again this nation will do hon
or to the soldier dead who fought and
gave their lives for the stars and
stripes , nnd all that they stand for.
Tomorrow , as Memorial day , will bo
observed by this nation that has been
preserved by that bloody war , and
America will bow Its head In tribute
to the boys who rcBpondod to the
country's call for volunteers and who ,
slnco taking up arms , have boon laid.
In tholr graves.
It Is lltllng that ono day out of each
year should bo set nsldo In which to
recall the crimson years of strife that
stain the pages of this union's history ,
In order that the generations that have
grown up slnco those times of can
nons' boom , and the generations that
are yet to como , may rolled upon the
deeds of valor and the loyalty and the
sacrifices of their forefathers of Abra
ham Lincoln's day.
To those who know of the civil war
only what they have learned In the
histories that have boon written , there
IB little reall/.ntIon of what that strug
gle between brothers of the north and
Kouth meant , or of Its vast effect upon
every community and almost every
homo from Pacific to Atlantic , until
they HOO the old soldiers in tholr aging
blue uniforms marching through the
streets and hoar the life and drum
piercing the air of every hamlet In
the nation today. To the cast and the
west and the north and the south ,
this country Is dotted with millions
and millions of cities and towns , and
there Is not ono to bo found on the
map In which there is not still n scat
tering of the veterans who shouldered
guns and wont following after Grant
and Sherman nnd the rest of those
great gcnoiuln when the war broke
out.
And thus , by the token of those who
still remain to march each Memorial
day to the cemeteries on the sldohllls
of the towns of America , may bo reck
oned the untold numbers of loyal cit
izens who joined the ranks of the fight
ing regiments and never came homo
from the smoking battle fields , nnd
of those , too , who did como homo but
who have responded to the last roll
call slnco the ending of that warfare's
season.
Hut perhaps today , for all there are
still with us many nnd many a vet
eran who shall still continue on this
earth for n score of years to come ,
the most Impressive feature of these
animal Memorial days Is the fact that
the ranks are growing perceptibly thin
ner nnd thinner , nnd ( ho fact that
every time the old flag , unfurled from
the staff that Is carried by a blue-
coated veteran , Is borne up to Pros
pect Hill , It goes to do honor to de
parted comrades who , the year before ,
had boon hero to help from the marchIng -
Ing squad. It Is a notable feature , too ,
that with each succeeding year the gait
of those who remain to carry flowers
to the last resting place of the com
rades , becomes appreciably feebler
and feebler.
Uut for all the diminishing of those
veteran ranks , from year to year , the
Interest and the glory that Is paid to
them by the surviving generations of
this American race loses not ono Iota ,
a fact noteworthy In its Indication that
the memory of the deeds of those fight
ers shall bo perpetuated In the hearts
of this country , for years and years
after those soldiers and their grand
sons have boon laid beneath the sod.
And this , In the eternal fitness of
things , will bo justifiable. The union
soldiers who fought nnd won In that
awful war that drew a line between
the two halves of this country for the
tlmo being , but which later welded all
parts together again as never could
have boon done with defeat , have
earned a fnmo that may ring down the
halls of Time.
Theirs was the feat of soldering to
gether , that it might bo perpetuated ,
ono of the great nations of the world
today. They bought that victory with
their blood , but the fruit of their win
ning lives on In unending life , so that
the end attained justified the price
those bravo men paid. It was the sac
rificing of the individual for the snko
of the society of future generations ,
a sacrifice In spirit Intensified a mil
lion-fold by the loss of tens and hun
dreds of thousands of lives , and to do
honor to those fallen fighters , many
of whom were burled In trenches and
whose bodies have never known
graves that were marked , is the mis
of Memorial day , set apart for
tomorrow.

diers dead I
CONGRESS NOT A KINDERGARTEN
Congressman J. J. McCarthy ( a
statesman from Ponca , Dlxon county ,
Nob. , who has been for three years
past , Is' at the present time , will Inev
itably bo until next year and would
like to bo for many yenrB yet to como ,
representative In congress from the
Third district of Nebraska ) In nam
ing the reasons why ho believes ho Is
entitled to bo returned for the third
tlmo to the halls of legislation In
Washington nt the expense of the people
ple of this district , gives the fact that
ho has not yet had much of an oppor-
tunity to do anything for his constitu
ents and Insists that ho bo sent back
again so that ho may tnko another kin-
ilergarten course , preparatory to ono
ilny rendering a service to his conn
trymcn and thus accomplishing things
for hlB district that are constantly beIng -
Ing accomplished by other congress
men for their districts , nnd which the
republicans who sent him there the
first tlmo know all too well ho has
failed to do In his Initial four years.
Mr. McCarthy takes the attitude that
ho has been abused by the people of
the Third district who scorn to have
expected that ho ought to have Identi
fied himself with some purpose , good
or bad , down at Washington , and , with
half Injured pride nnd a half apologetic
tone of voice , ho begs just another two
years' chance in Washington so that
ho may get otnrtcd trotting In the
class of real law makers.
While wo must agrco with Mr. Mc
Carthy In so far as ho Insists that ho
has not done anything yet to speak
of , yet wo are forced to take Issue
with him on the point that It Is neces
sary for a congressman to bo in Wash
ington for a half dozen years before
ho can get down to business. And wo
must Insist that If a representative ,
after four years of experience- con
gress , nnd with the advantage of belonging -
longing to the majority party , has
failed to make good , It Is nn unmis
takable sign that ho can never become
the real thing , though ho ho sent to
Washington for generations to come.
Wo do not want to discourage Mr.
McCarthy In his ambitions to become
a statesman , but heartily believe that
after a man has spent two terms In
congress , under favorable conditions ,
ho ought to have positively identified
himself with some ono principle at
least nnd to have done something to
ward pushing at least , that ono princi
ple along. Hut so far as wo have boon
able to learn , Mr. McCarthy of Ponca
has as yet failed to connect himself
In any slightest degree with any mea
sure , good or bad , that has como up
before the American public during his
term of luxury at the Third district's
expense. Unlike Buster Brown , Mr.
McCarthy has not even so much , so
far as wo can learn , as resolved to do
anything worth while , to say nothing
of doing It.
And so for this reason , If there were
no other , the people of the Third dis
trict of Nebraska as a whole , and the
republicans of this district In partic
ular , have a right to demand that Mr.
McCarthy , having boon given a fair
chance and having failed to accept his
opportunities , now stop down and out
and allow some other man to got into
the harness for the sake of this dis
trict's rights.
And , although Mr. McCarthy and
his friends Insist that four years Is
not long enough for a man to have
gotten n start toward accomplishing
things In congress , wo wish to turn
back the pages of history for a few
years at the most , and to call up be
fore the minds of the people of the
Third district of Nebraska the records
of two men who went from Madison
county under unfavorable circum
stances and either one of whom did ,
almost every day of his life at Wash
ington , more than Mr. McCarthy has
done during his entire two terms of
service. And we believe that wo be
tray no loyalty to republicanism when
wo select for this contrast as two men
who did things , a representative and
a United States senator who were
chosen from the ranks of our political
opponents. Indeed , with such records
as these men have made , belonging to
the minority party In congress , there
Is all the more reason why a repub
lican from this district should have
succeeded eminently as well.
Let us glance at the record of the
late John S. Robinson of Madison , who
went into congress as a minority mem
ber and who , despite that handicap ,
did things. Ono of the biggest mea
sures with which Mr. Robinson be
came associated was that which had
to do with the code of laws and the
form of government that were adopted
for Alaska. Mr. Robinson was largely
the author of the code of Alaskan laws
and ho became recognized all over
this country $ is a representative who
stood for something In that connection
that was worth while.
And again , in spite of the fact that
most of his time wns occupied with
that gigantic task , ho found time to
Introduce Into the house of represen
tatives and to push the passage by
that body of the bill appropriating
money with which to construct the
Norfolk public building the hand
somest public building for n city of
this nlzo known In America.
And boHldoB these things , Mr. Rob
inson secured many pensions and was
conspicuous In the principal debates
of the house of representatives all
through his term ,
So much for ono man who did things
under far less auspicious circumstanc
es than have been known to Mr. Me-
Cnrthv. These things were accom
plished by Mr. Robinson not because
ho was a democrat , but In splto of
that fact.
And then lot us glance at the rec
ord of another Individual from Madi
son county who did things all of the
tlmo while ho was In Washington , for
ils constituents. In spite of the fact
hat ho belonged to the minority wing ,
ho soon made his name known and
demonstrated clearly that It Is pos
sible for the right sort of legislator to
stand for some sort of principle , and
to push hard enough to accomplish
his desired ends. This Is former Unit
ed States Senator William V. Allen ,
who lives In Madison today.
During his term In the United States
senate , Senator Allen was by his early
advocacy of Cuban liberty largely In
strumental , according to Senator Gor
man and others , In bringing about the
war between Spain and the United
States by which the Cuban republic
wns established.
Ho secured the rebuilding of the In
dian bridge between Nlobrarn and the
Ponca reservation across the Nlobrarn.
He secured more than 1,000 pensions
for old soldiers In Nebraska.
Ho secured the passage of a great
many bills to quiet the title of settlers
to their lands.
Ho forced Collls P. Huntlngton to
reconstruct the Central Pacific rail
way.
way.He
He had secured n favorable report ,
when ho retired from the senate of a
bill to convert old Ft. Omaha into an
Indian training school.
Ho secured the opening to public
settlement of the old military reserva
tion of Ft. McPherson nnd Ft. Sheri
dan.
dan.Ho
Ho saved the life of Major-General
Rovera of the Cuban army from death
by drum-head court martial by the
Spanish troops by securing the pass
age of a resolution in the senate con
demning It , which wns Immediately ca
bled to Madrid , Spain.
Ho secured frco lumber throughout
the United States on the tariff net of
1891 , by which the consumer could
buy lumber for $ M a thousand which
now costs him from $28 to $ I0 ! a thou
sand.
Ho secured seed grain during the
drouth for the Snnteo Indians and $10-
000 extra money for them.
Ho secured free barbed wire on the
tariff act of IS ! ) I which was subse
quently lost by a combination of re
publicans and Cleveland democrats.
Ho secured the establishment of the
Mackenzie nt Sheridan , Wyoming , and
the removal of old Ft. Custcr.
Ho Introduced and had favorably re
ported for $750,000 a bill to constiuct
a public building at Lincoln.
He compelled the now Union Pacific
railroad to pay $12,000,000 more than
it llrst bin for tlio Union Pacific and
Kansas Pacific railways.
He secured htc establishment of the
trans-Mississippi and International ex
position at Omaha In 1808.
He secured the establishment at
Omaha of the present Indian ware
house , at which supplies for western
Indians are being purchased.
Ho secured the establishment nnd
holding of the Indian congress at Oma
ha , in connection with the exposition ,
in 1898.
Ho secured a settlement of , i lawsuit
with Attorney General Harmon Involv
ing 196,000 acres of Burlington lieu
land in Nebraska , by which those
lands were saved to actual settlers and
tholr titles thereto quieted. Many of
these lands llo In the Third congres
sional district.
By securing n charter for Captain
Talbot to maintain a pontoon bridge
over the Missouri river at Sioux City ,
ho secured the construction of the
present commutations bridge at that
place.
He defeated a bill to issue govern
ment bonds for $4,500,000 for the Dis
trict of Columbia.
He secured the passage of a bill In
the senate to construct the public
building at Blair.
He secured the passage of a bill , to
resurvey Grant , Hooker and other
western counties.
Ho secured an appropriation of $75-
000 to put In the backet work on the
Nebraska side of the Missouri river
at South Sioux City , and $25.000 addi
tional spent on the Nebraska side
above Sioux City.
He secured the purchase by the gov
ernment of the grounds for public
buildings at Norfolk and Hastings , and
Introduced and secured the passage of
the bill making appropriations for the
construction of public buildings at
those places.
Ho secured the passage of a law
which provided that naval and army
cadets taken Into the academics at
Annapolis oiul West Point must , by
actual physical residence , have lived
for two consecutive years preceding
tholr entrance to the academies , In
the district from which they are ap
pointed. This was to do away with
an abuse practiced for the snko of
landing sons of army officers and none
others , If possible , in the academies.
We are not discussing these things
that were accomplished by Senator
Allen. They stand for themselves In
the minds of the people of the Third
district , democratic nnd republican.
They are actual testimonials to the
fact that a real lawmaker and a true
statesman does not need a life time
of preparation in Washington before
ho begins to do things.
Tlio records of these two Madison
county , men , regardless of their po
litical parties , show that at the end of
two terms In congress , Mr. McCarthy
should have distinguished himself In
some way by becoming strongly Iden
titled as for or against some prominent
public measure.
So far as wo can figure it out , Mr.
McCarthy has done little In Washing
ton nsldo from allowing the govern
ment to carry out Its rural route ex
tension nnd drawing his $5,000 per
year.
FOR AN ALCOHOL FACTORY.
The suggestion that Norfolk bo made
nn alcohol manufacturing center , un
der the provisions of the denatured al
cohol bill that has just been made n
law and which takes from alcohol to
bo used In the arts and manufactures
the Internal revenue tax , ought to be
worthy of Investigation by Norfolk
business interests , Inasmuch as there
Is today owned by this city an aban
doned sugar factory In which there arc
now boilers nnd around which thcro
are ninny acres of fertile land to bo
used.
used.With
With the tax taken off of alcohol
which Is to bo used in the manufac
tures nnd the arts , the plant could , it
Is said , bo made a success here as well
as anywhere. It Is done in Europe
and there is said to bo no reason why
it could not bo done hero. Local cap
ital would probably Invest In such an
Industry , If someone who know how
to run the plant nnd manage the in
stitution could bo found , nnd it might
Ije the means of rehabilitating a plant
that has lain idle for some little time
and which , by Its Idleness , has cost
Norfolk many dollars.
It has been pretty well demonstrat
ed that no sugar factory Is going to
go back Into the abandoned buildings
hero nnd try to make a success of the
Industry where ono firm has failed.
It Is true that Norfollj fanners already
know all about beets , and that this is
an advantageous feature over starting
nn industry that would require new
knowledge along some other line , but
it is also true that the farmers of this
section of the state can make money
too easily off of other crops , in which
there Is not so much very hard labor.
Beets arc for the country that will
raise nothing else. They are for the
land that has to bo Irrigated , and
wnlcli will then produce as good a
beet as any acres. But land that will
produce corn and wheat and other
such crops , will not permanently , as
was demonstrated in Norfolk , be given
over to the raising of beets at the
rate that cnn bo paid for the roots.
And whore the factory overpays , in
order to secure the boots , such results
as that in the factory down at Leavitt
are found , that plant now being In the
hands of a receiver.
It looks now as though the packing
plant that had , a while back , been
suggested for Norfolk's deserted build
ings , would not materialize , nnd oth
er sorts of industries that have boon
suggested have not shown signs of
growing out of their Infant stage. And
so It Is about tlmo for Norfolk to be
gin to look for something new with
which to start again the wheels of
manufacturing in this city. And the
denatured alcohol bill opens an oppor
tunity.
It might bo that this could not be
made to pay , but it looks as though
it surely ought to be worth the Inves
tigation of the business men who own
stock In the old sugar factory.

Wayne Herald. The Ponder Repub
lic , whose editor officiates as school
superintendent of Thurston county , Is
so ardent and hysterical in his sup
port of Congressman McCarthy that
he makes charges that are not even
based on respectable suspicion , against
newspapers that have questioned the
propriety of renomlnatlng that gentle
man. The Republic man alleges In
substance that such papers are not
supporting McCarthy because they are
grafters and haven't been paid to sup
port him. It Is likely the Republican
man the grateful Fldus Achates of
one who ( the Ponder Times-claimed )

itor's itch for the county superinten-
dency could not think of a more stun

"graft , " making the statement with as
much bold effrontery as though It were
backed by some suggestion of truth.
In addition ho pats himself on the
