Tho World Herald is venting its
spleen on tho poor Irish potato because
it ih down However much tho
ostoemed World Herald many endeavor
to dodge tho issue this staple vegetable
Is this year a victim of tho inexorable
law of supply and demand in Nebraska
That paper delights in comparing tho
price paid in 18110 Ii0 cents per bushel
with tho presont price 20 cents a bushel
In 1801 if memory servos aright thoro
were not potatoes enough raised to sup
ply local doinands and farmors them
solvos woro compellod to ship them in
from moro fortunate localities This
year thoro is plenty and to spare but tho
Nebraska farmers market for tho veget
able is almost exclusively a local ono and
overybody has potatoes Is It very much
wondor that tho prico of potatoes is low
Is tho World IIorad slncoro in Insinuat
ing that the administration is responsible
for this low prico It will bo hard to make
tho people believe that the editor of that
paper is quite so light in tho upper story
And it will bo harder yet for him to
convince tho poople with such bombast
to vote tho fusion ticket
Democrat ic argument this vear as al
ways is of an ultra pessimistic char
actor Present conditions aro almost
totally ignored and tho most vivid im
innginntionH are brought into requisition
to depict what might happen if things
aro thus and so Thoy fail to seo any
thing bright in tho present Their
vision is totally obscured by tho supposed
impending gloom of tho future They
should loam sometime that tho people
of tho country aro not to bo turned by
doleful sounds The same class of ar
gument was used in ISOli but tho people
put no faith in them and as a con
sequence tho dismal pictures so vividly
drawn have faded away and tho glorious
hustling presont is tho result Not dis
heartened by their former failures the
pessimistic brush is again boing applied
with now vigor anl those who turned
out to bo tho falest of falso prophets in
181H1 aro disseminating their cheorless
tales to ears made deaf by tho bustle
and clatter of trutllo The pnoplo have
faith in the repnblieau party aud
that faith is renewed and streutheud
oach time that party is placed in power
It is hard to crowd pessimistic theories

Some of the moro patriotic of demo
cratic papers aro just now trying to ex
cubo their party and deny that it wants
President McKinloy to withdraw tho
army from the Philippines If that is
uot what they want tho entire bottom
has been knocked out of all thoir argu
ment concerning tho Philippines All
President MoKinley has endeavored to
do is to suppress tho insurrection in
thosa islands and has necessarily estab
lished a tomjKirary military government
to proscrvo order in the portions where
the rebolliou has boon dispelled Ho
has not abbrogated to himself tho power
to establish a permanent government for
the islands nor could he That duty
rests nlouo with congress and until it so
decrees tho Philippines will neithor be
auuoxed nor a government established
under tho authority of tho United States
This view of an occasional democratio
sheet of patriotic tendencies is not tho
opinion of t ho vast majority of such
publications What they most desiro is
to obstruct abus0 and discredit the ad
ministration If thoy thought they
could cause tho president to withdraw
tho army uothiug would pleaso them
better nud thoy would have n great deal

THE NORFOLK NEWS THURSDAY NOVEMBER 2 1850
Ilolcnmli n Petty Politician
Tho following Htiitouieut shows how
tho boys who volunteered to servo their
countrydurlng tho lato war with Spain
were turned down by tho then governor
lo make a place for Col Brynn who
was expected to receive much political
benefit fiom the bombastic inarch
of his Third Nebraska regiment on
to Cuba but who himself flunked
before his soldiers sailed from United
Slates soil The action of Gov Hoi
comb demons rates that ho U by nature
a very small boro politclutirat her t ban an
hommible high minded man qualified
to make a fair and JuM judge
Inasmuch as tho friends of Coventor
llolcomb hae made the charge that tho
heavy artillery regiment wiw organized
Jim a bluff with a knowledge that It was
no required and would uot bo accepted
on behalf of tho young men associated
with that organization wo wish to re
sent this insult and disprove tho charge
Those who undertook tho organization
of this regiment woro larnestand pitri
toio in their desiio to outer I hu military
service of their country Thoy began
its organization as is well known with
the sanction id and under tho advice
and direction of Governor llolcomb
Tho fact that tho regiment was desig
nated us heavy artillery would not and
did not militate against it in tho War
department for as is well known
among men familiar with military or
gan itlon heavy artillery is llrHt or
ganized equipped and drilled as infantry
and is essentially inluntry and inter
changeable with that branch of tho
sorvlLo Tho organization was llnally
completed and cost between 500 and
ItlOO every cent of which was borno In
dividually by tho members of tho regi
ment Tho regiment was then tendered
by Governor llolcomb to tho govonnont
in a telegram as follows
Lincoln May It lKllS Senator
William V Allen Washington D C
Pleaso tender to tho president a regi
ment of heavy artillery now nearly
formed which could soon bo lit ted for
active service Regiment commanded
by Captain Dudley U S A whom I
would bo pleased to appoint as colonel
with presidents permission and olll
cercd by Nebraska men educated in the
military dopnrtinont of the state uni
versity Would muko a strong organiza
tion Silas A HoiroMii
Governor
At tho time tho tender was made tho
governor must have contemplated send
ing tho regiment out as a part of tho
regular quota of Nebraska Th torniH
of the tender prove this fact Tho ex
pression with Captain Dudley of tho
regular army in command whom I
should bo pleased to appoint as colonel
indicates that ho did not intend sending
tho rogimont out as a special orgnization
as in that case tho president and uot the
governor would make the appointment
of tho colonel Furthermore on tho
piuuo day the tender was niado ho prom
ised that it would bo tho next roimnont
to leave tho state whether tho call
should bo for artillery cavalry or in
fantry
When tho call camo forgotful of his
promise forgetful of his tender on file
with tho War department tho governor
Hindu other arrangements to supply
Nebraskas qouta by authorizing Mr
Bryan to organize another reginiont and
bo colonel of it Although Mr llrynn
had at ono time a few wei ks pievious
attended a banquet given by tho heavy
artilory regiment and in tho capacity
of toiiHtiuaster pledged his loyalty and
support when an effort was now made
to compromise after considoiiug the
proposition a weok or ten days ho de
clined with but ono exception to in
clude any part of tho heavy artillery
regiment in tho ono ho was organizing
It was in this inontur thnttho heavy ur
tilhry boys were turned down to accom
modate tho plans of politicans and tho
claims of men of iniltry training disre
garded in favor of tho lmro insistent
demands of political warriors It was
enough to bo disappointed in our mili
tary ambitions by reason of tho fickle
ness of Governor llolcomb and Mr
Hryan without now boiug called upon
to bear tho additional humiliation of
boing accused of cowardice and having
our motives and patriotism brought
into question This ono act of Gover
nor llolcomb this betrayal of tho ion
lldenen of young men who treated him
with tho utmost frankness and honesty
who were unfamiliar with tho subter
fuge that characerizes his school of
politicans such an at alone ought to
bo enough to bring down upon him the
disapproval and censure of every
citizen Respectfully sub
