Actios and progress are synonymous
with republicanism, just as obstruction
and retrogression are with democracy.
TnE republicans are assured of the
control of tho United States senate for
years to come, and if the voters of the
country do their whole duty the party
will also continue to control the house
of representatives.
It has been estimated that tho unnec
essary roll calls of the house caused un
democratic UUibustering during tho past
session of congress cost the tax payors
of the country S85.000.
Of course the MoKinley tariff law is a
blow at British interests. It was in
tended to be. The money we have been
paying English manufacturers will here
after be kept at homo to pay American
labor.
If Dorsey continues to serve his dis
trict as well in the future ;w he has in
the past, and there is no reason to doubt
it, tho Third district will have no reason
to regret his fourth term. Norf oik
Journal.
TnE good results of the McKinley tar
iff bill are already apparent. Austria,
Germany and Spain are tumbling over
each other, so to speak, in their efforts
to secure reciprocity treaties with tho
United States. Republican legislation
always tells.
TnE republican party stands for one
thing in every state in the Union. The
democratic party stands for anything
that promises to gain a few votes any
where; it sends documents and speeches
into one state that it does not dare to
send into another.
Word has been passed along the dem
ocratic lines, south of the Potomac, to
count out every republican elected to
congress. If the orders are carried out
it will certainly be the last time that
voters are so wiped out in any section of
this country.
Hibam Shultj, of Clarks, while under
the influence of liquor, undertook to
drive his team over a railroad crossing;
one horse was hurt so bad that he had
to be killed: the other is good for noth
ing, and Mr. Shull, it is supposed hi
received internal injuries, from which h
cannot recover.
If the republicans are defeated in
their efforts to retain control of the house
of representatives it will be the fault of
those republicans who sulk, for one or
another cause, and of those who are so
confident that the party will win that
they do not recognize tho necessity for
working and voting for its candidate.
If you have an idea that might prove
valuable, if patentable, you should lose
no time in writing to Messrs. C. A. Snow
k Co., 710, Eighth street N. V, Wash
ington, D. C. They are capable and
trustworthy patent attorneys, and will
advise you without charge. Read their
advertisement in this paper.
The Niobrara Democrat speaks of
Boyd as the grand old Mormon saint.
Continuing the Democrat says: "If Jim
Boyd of Omaha with his 'barrel' and his
unblushing salacious record is the best
the democratic party has to offer the
people, then the party should be buried
out of 6ight at the ballot box." And
this is all from a democratic paper.
EubopeaX retaliation on account of
the McKinley tariff law seems to be
causing some of the democratic editors
of the country great trouble. Just why,
we cannot see. How can they hurt us?
We could get along if there was never
another dollar's worth of European goods
landed in this country; in fact many of
our profoundest thinkers Bay we should
be greatly benefited, but how could Eu
rope get along without our wheat?
Europe is compelled to buy our grain
and other food 'products, while we can
easily do without everything we buy
from Europe. Nothing alarming in that
ituatton, is there?
We Know Wkat we Want.
The London Times talks as though
one of tho chief eiuties of life of the
people of this countey is to so frame our
tariff laws as to commend them to the
good opinion of English manufacturers.
Laudable as it may seem in the eyes of
the Great Thunderer, we are not just
now engaged in that kind of business.
The aim of our statesmen, the work of
the party which happens just now to be
in power, is mainly devoted to the de
velopment of our own natural resources,
to building up all the diversified indus
tries of our own country, to building
factories where needed, to fostering
those industries that will give increased
employment and. bring added prosperity
to the people of this land; to dig our
gold and silver, coal and tin from our
mountains; to furnish ourselves from
our own forests, fields, shops, factories
and stores, at least all that we ourselves
can use.
Give an ovor-production," so-called,
of all that we can eat and wear and use,
and along with it let the people provide
such a system of the necessary circulat
ing medium as will compel it to flow to
every man, woman and child in the
country who is by lalor and toil, by
skill, ingenuity and wisdom adding to
the common stock of good; let the peo
ple of this country own and operate the
railroads at a nominal cost, and thus
distribute the surplus products of one
section of our vast country to those
other sections where the same are
wanted.
These things can be done.
.They will be done, in time.
Let us help bring them about in the
near future.
The demand of the people must be so
great, so persistent, so relentless that
all political parties of whatever name
"race, color, or previous condition of
seevitude" shall run to execute the peo
ple's will.
When it comes to pass as an assur
ance that political preferment shall rest
and rei-i only on patriotism, upon an in-intel!i;---nt
appreciation of public needs
l i a strict adherence to the line of
duty in endeavoring to secure for the
people their own just desire in their own
affairs, then and then only will begin to
dawn that better day to which all eyes
are turned. All agitations, all move
ments in which people become interest
ed in thought and emotion, every en
deavor put forward to break a link in
tho chain of bondage, will be of some
use, and hasten tho day of delivery.
Every incident which serves to impress
upon ambitious and aspiring statesmen
the fact that this government of the peo
ple, by the people through their chosen
representatives, must be for the people,
now and always, will lead us into the
promised land of political equality
which our forefathers thought of.
Experience keeps a dear school.
The American people are slow to learn,
but they do learn pretty effoctually, on
great questions.
They are also very patient, up to the
point of danger and then, when patience
ceases to be a virtue, they are very de
termined in applying remedies.
As a people wo know and appreciate
the full value of our friends after their
death.
To como back to where we started, if
we lo ok after onr own interests to the
fullest extent of our ability, other na
tions need waste no sympathy on our be
half. Their seeming surplus of that
very useful sentiment might appropriate
ly bo turned into channels nearer home
where, while the exhibition might create
a good deal of surprise, it would doubt
less be fully appreciated.
The Political Ontlook.
The eopIe of Nebraska have a pecul
iar campaign to consider this fall. With
the alliance movement well organized,
prohibition with a ticket, and the de
mocracy after its own success, republi
cans can hardly afford to throw away
voles for the democrats to pack up. The
man who, on account of some personal
grievence or prejudice, votes against the
republican party makes a mistake and
one that never fails to come home to
roost at the most convenient time.
The Pioneer calls particular attention
to the danger of sending a democrat to
congress.
The national elections about to take
place are for members of the fifty-second
congress. This congress will not be
erected until March 4, 1892, and will as
semble in its first regular session in the
succeeding December. The present con
gress has been in session but nine
months, and a republican majority ap
peals to the people for a renewal of their
confidence upon a record still incom
plete. It comes before the country, how
over, with this assurance: that if the
people really want what they demand,
and if i liey believe in a party that keeps
its pr. j.ises, they must return the repub-
j! ans to power in this election.
Indirectly the administration which
was chosen is 18SS is also before the
people for a sign of their approval, and
it, too, enjoys a similar confidence.
It is, therefore, of the greatest import
ance that republicans should cast aside
personal prejudices and vote for the re
publican ticket from congressman
down. It is very easy to pick tiaws in
the public life of a man who has been in
office, for he is sure to run against some
snags. But what do the other parties
offer? The republican platforms, and
the men who are to aid in carrying out
those platforms, are certainly far above
anything offered by opposing parties.
It is no matter of personality but one
of political principle. Republican voters,
let your wisdom be on the side which
protects humanity, not on the side of
uncertainty and mob law. Niobrara
Pioneer.
Senatorial Convention.
The republican senatorial convention
for the Twelfth senatorial district of
Colfax and Platte counties met pursu
ant to call at the court house Tuesday
afternoon. The convention was called
to order by W. T. Howard who read the
call. Mr. Howard was chosen chairman
and John Nieman secretary. The com
mittee selected on credentials was W. J.
Newman of Platte, and John Benson of
Colfax. The committee on credentials
reported and recommended that the del
egates present cast the full vote. The
report was accepted and adopted. John
Nieman then nominaten John Rickert of
Shell Creek precinct, for senator which
was seconded. Mr. Newman of Platte,
arose and explained that the republican
convention at Columbus which sent him
as a delegate instructed him to support
O. Nelson. John McCurdy of Leigh,
who was Herman Pieper's proxy, made a
motion that O. Nelson be endorsed
which was seconded By G. A. Scott of
Columbus. C. F. Brown then made a
move that an informal ballot be first
taken. Motion was carried and the chair
appointed Mr. Scott and Mr. Benson as
tellers. The informal ballot gave Rick
ert 11 votes and Nelson 7. The formal
ballot gave the same vote and Mr.
Rickert was declared the nominee of the
convention and a motion of C. F. Brown's
that the chairman of the convention be
instructed to notify Mr. Rickert of his
nomination was carried. The conven
tion then named Mr. G. A. Scott of Co
lumbus and W. T. Howard as the com
mittee for the Twelfth senatorial com
mittee for the ensuing two years and
then adjourned. Schuyler Sun.
There is no longer any attempt to
conceal the fact that the independent
movement is operated as an annex to
the democratic party. The assault on
Van Wyck tears off the veil and exposes
the conspiracy. The services rendered
the producers of the state by Van Wyck,
in and out of office, cannot be success
fully attacked, yet the edict has gone
forth from political tyros that ho must
be suppressed. For what? For bear
ing truthful testimony to the fact that
N. V. Harlan stood manfully by the flag
of anti-monopoly when treachery stalk
ed through the camp. For this he is
cast out by men who have never made
an unselfish effort to right the wrongs
complained of by the farmers. His de
feat for the nomination of governor was
a conspiracy, which the latter act con
firms, to deprive the producers of the
state of a standard bearer whose record
required neither explanation nor de
fense. The republican farmers of the
state owe it to themselves to repudiate
the schemers who are striving to drive
them like cattle into the democratic
pasture. Omaha Bee.
Fees Coaaty Clrrk.
From the recent decision of the su
preme court, we clip the following, which
will be of interest to many of our readers:
State ex rel Frontier county vs Kelley.
Mandamus. Writ allowed. Opinion by
Mr. Justice Norval.
1. Where a county clerk, who is also
a notary public, takes acknowledgments
of deeds and mortgages and takes affida
vits and depositions as notary public, it
is his duty to enter upon his fee book as
county clerk and report to the county
board every item of fees received by him
for such services.
2. The county clerk of a county con
taining less than 18,000 inhabitants, is
required to report to the county board
all fees received by him for making and
certifying to abstracts of title, although
he may be a bonded abstractor and per
formed the services of such abstractor.
3. It is only the fees received by a
county clerk which are in excess of the
salary fixed by law, that he is required
to pay into the county treasury.
The Leland hotel, Syracuse, N. Y.,
was entirely destroyed by fire Thursday.
Total loss 500,000. Twenty-five persons
were killed, most of them on the fourth
and fifth stories. The fire, which started
in the kitchen, spread by means of the
elevator well, which was near the stair
way, and so all means of escape were
cut off and those in the upper story were
compelled to jump. The clerk of the
hotel began sending in the alarm by
telephone,but the flames spread so rapid
ly that he was driven from the instru
ment and compelled to jump to save his
own life. The firemen saved many lives.
Nothing is left of the building except
the elevator shaft and the chimney.

News comes from Kansas City, Mo.,
under date of October ICth that an in
tended extension of its business by the
Farmers' Alliance of the southwest was
discussed when it was learned that they
were about to establish an independent
stock yards in Kansas City. Texas, Ne
braska and Iowa are back of the scheme.
Fifty acres of land adjoining the pres
ent stock yards in Kansas City is the
site of the new yards. By maintaining
their own yards the farmers believe they
can save much money by marketing cat
tle by doing away with the commission
men and a great part of the other ex
penses. Noted Mnrderer Captared.
A dispatch from Fullerton to the Bee,
under date of the 20th, says: "Again the
town is thrown into a fever of excite
ment over the announcement that Geo.
Furnival, who murdered five people on
Horse creeK, has been captured at Ellis
ville, Miss. Lee Goddard, a man who
knew him well, was sent there last week
and telegraphed back that he had ident
ified him beyond a doubt. The sheriff
left on the morning train for Mississippi.
It looks as though the worst murderer
ever known in Nebraska has been cap
tured." A Rejoinder.

Democratic and independent orators
and newspapers will make nothing by
parading before the people the fact that
English and German manufactories are
shutting down because of the McKinley
bill, and that the manufacturers of all
Europe are mad about it If the con
sumer pays the tax, the amount of the
tariff could make no possible difference
to the foreign manufacturer, and to
claim that it does 6imply refutes the
democratic doctrine that the tariff
is a tax which is paid by the man
who buys and uses the goods. Norfolk
News.
Representative Lodge says of his
Federal election bill: "The bill is intend
ed to reach impurities at the ballot box
both in the north and in the south. The
south wails the loudest because it fears
to lose not only its own districts but its
control of the democratic party in the
nation and of the national government
if the democrats are in power. In one
word, it is a bill for honest elections, and
no honest voter need fear it; but it is
framed to bring the wrong doer to light
and inflict upon him severe penalties."
Children Cry for
Pitcher's Castoria.
Nobody has yet come forward to show
a solitary article the price of which pro
tection did cot steadily and ultimately
cheapen to the American consumer.
There are plenty of democratic organs
that denounce protection as "robbery,"
but none of them can show a single im
portant item which, upon a duo and fair
trial, is not cheaper now to tho consum
er than it was under any tariff for, rev
enue only that the democratic party was
ever able to legislate. Ev.
The present administration has, in
nineteen months paid S205.714.410 on the
national debt. In four years the demo
crats paid only S341,380,980. If the
present ratio is maintained to tho end of
President Harrison's administration, and
there is no reason for doubting its con
tinuance, the amount paid will reach the
enormous amount of $519,)99,552, and
four years moro of republican control,
from March 4, 1893, would free the coun
try of its national debt.
It would be interesting as well as in
structive for the opponents of Congress
man Dorsey to point out where he has
ever advocated or voted for any measure
that was against the best interests of the
farmers of the west. Abuse is cheap,
but a few definite statements would be
highly in order at this time. Give us
facts, not glittering generalities. Al

The Omaha World-Herald is much
grieved because the McKinley bill places
a tariff of 2l cents per pound on wire

was 4 cents per pound. Why can't news

SPEAKER KEED.
Sonic of His Uinzhtj; Word at Rochester,
New York.
Thomas B. Reed, whoso action during
the session of congress has called at
tention to him from all qnartors, deliver
ed a speech last week at Rochester, N.Y.,
which we reproduce for our readers:
I thank you very heartily for this
greeting, but I thank you more heartily
because I think this meeting means
something. Tho linos are laid
very deep in tho south. One man fol
lows in the footsteps of his grandfather.
Ho does not believe ho knows any more
than his grandfather. Another man be
lieves in progress; lelieves that tho
world is going forward. One man is. a
democrat, the other is a republican. It
is unfair to speak of tho history of this
conntry. It is unfair because the demo
crats have hat! very little to do with it.
We have to go ahead and drag them. I
do not say this in a ptrtisan spirit. If a
man thinks what I have said has a flavor
of selfishness on our part, he has only to
take up the principal events of the past
thirty years and show what principles
have been enunciated and when the dif
ferent conventions have ratified them.
The right of the people to rule is su
preme. No king can successfully dare
to outrage the public sentiment of Lis
conntry. We have a system of rulo by
tho majority. The majority of tho dem
ocrats live south of Mason and Dixon's
line. Tho northern democrats wince un
der the lash of the southern whip. I
have heard democratic congressmen
from the north mutter under their
breath and say what they would do at
some convenient time. But they never
do it. I wish it were otherwise. I think
some democrats begin to seo this thing
rightly. Some are losing their interest
in a losing game. Why do these people
gather together at every election? Why
do we deposit onr ballot on election day?
Our system of government is a system of
counting heads. Some peoplo think
there is a better system. I believe tho
angels themselves could give no better
system than that by which every man is
counted on one side or the other. I be
lieve the average intelligence of the peo
ple can be depended upon. Tho govern
ment by the peoplo Kicans the right of
every man to a place in tho government.
Where on tho face of the foot-stool
could such an audience as this bo gath
ered, intelligent and fit to control them
selves? How have attained this intelli
gence? By ability to control. You know
it is a government by tho people. Yon
grant this for yourself. How can yon
deny it to others? Tho democratic
party is an interesting party to talk
about our government leiug founded on'
a high intelligence. You believe in the
constitution of tho United States. Eight
million people in one section aro with
out their constitutional rights. Who is
it that gets these rights? Every south
ern gentleman counts for threo of us.
They talk about negro domination. The
democratic party hates the negro. We
have seen it in the house. The southern
democrats expected to havo tho same
control over the house as they havo over
the ballot box. They wero mistaken
and are deeply grieved thereat. Thev
denounced it as an outrage that they
should be obliged to assist by their
physical presence, not their mental, in
the passage of necessary legislation at
$14 per diem. They sat during the pass
age of the McKinley bill, which to tho
average democratic mind has covered
every western farm with a mortgage .'ind
filled every city with tho well-dressed
desolation which I seo before me; they
sat through that. But when the ques
tion of giving a colored man his seat
came up the democratic party was ade
quately represented by empty benches.
Perhaps it was because Prof. Langston
had attained to a high order of intelli
gence. For some reason, at any rate,
they got up and left the building. The
democrats allowed the administrative
tariff bill to pass for the sake of testing
the constitutionality of tho house pass
ing it without a quorum voting. And a
democrat has already decided that it is
constitutional. It will soon go to the
supreme court, I hope. But we have a
decision by a power more supreme than
the supreme court by the people of the
United States. The people of tho Unit
ed States are not so misguided as to
want a democratic house of representa
tives. If they do, let them have one,
with all that it implies. If we get a
republican house we want control. If
they get a democratic house let thenv
have control. If you voters want to do
your duty at the coming election you
will vote with the party which upholds
the rule of the majority."
Washington Letter.
From our regular correspondent.!
Again the angel of death has spread
his gloomy wings over the national capi
tal and there is a dense shadow cast over
the hearts of its people; again the flags
are sadly half masted to mark the de
parture for that "bourne from whence no
traveler returnB," of an honored son of
the nation. Justice Samuel F. Miller,
the most popular man who over sat upon
the bench of tho United States supreme
court, has gone to join the silent major
ity, which is ever growing larger and
larger, and grief holds supreme sway
over Washington, where he was univer
sally loved for his many good qualities.
He was stricken down last Friday while
returning to his house from a visit to the
supreme court room at the capitol, by
that scourge of the human race, apo
plexy, and although he rallied for a time,
it was plain from the first to those who
ministered to tho fallen giant, that the
hand of death was upon him.
Justice Miller was appointed to the
supreme court in 1862 by President Lin
coln, and his death leaves Justice Field
the sole appointee of Mr. Lincoln on the
bench of the supreme court. He was
the senior justice, in length of service as
well as age, of the court, and would un
doubtedly have been made chief justice
had the vacancy to which Justice Fuller
was appointed occurred under a republi
can president. Some of the opinions
i prepared by Justice Miller are as able as
any ever handed down in any court of
law, and will live as long as the republic.
As a lawyer he has always ranked with
the best; but it was as a man that he was
loved and admired most. His place will
be bard to fill on the bench, and in the
ranks of humanity he leaves a vacancy
that can never be filled. He was 74
years old last April, but there aro few
men of fifty as active or well preserved
as he was.
Mr. Blaine is going to Ohio to speak
for Mr. McKinley, just as he has all
along intended to do, and just as he long
ago promised to do, and the busy bodies
who have recently been so industriously
engaged in circulating stories of his hav
ing refused to go to Ohio, because he
was desirous of seeing Mr. McKinley de
feated, are suffering from the chagrin
which they so richly deserve for having
written stories which they knew had not
the slightest foundation.
The first certificates under the new

Nels Berlin and Miss Matilda Benson
were married last Saturday evening at
the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs.
Andrew Person. Gus Benson, brother
of Mrs. Berlin, and Miss Gertrude Jones
"stood up" with them. Rev. W. D. El
well, pastor of the Baptist church, per
formed the ceremony. The few presents
were very nice, but the most valuable
ones were not there, so we have no list
of them. A delightful evening was spent
by the few invited guests. Mr. and Mrs.
Berlin went immediately to their new
home where they are cosily keeping
house.
Rev. W. D. Elwell has accepted the
pastorate of the Baptist church for half
time the present year. He preaches ev

All are most cordially invited to hear
him.
Mr. R. B. Kerr of Elgin, 111., has been
visiting W. F. Hanchett's family the
present week, returning on Saturday
morning. Mr. K. has a farm at Fairview
which he purchased several years ago
and has rented. He is greatly pleased
with his farm and tho country, noticing
the great improvement since his former
visit. He is very anxious to move out
here with his family and if he can make
things turn to his pleasure will do so in
March. Mr. Kerr and family will make
a good acquisition to the neighborhood,
and his friends are anxious to have him
move here.
By some mistake somewhero we have
had two open alliance meetings in suc
cession. On Friday of last week the
speakers were expected but no one came
but Mr. Freeman of Grand Prairie. On
Friday evening last no one knew of it
till the speakers came, so of course but
few could be notified. The notice in the
Argus was thought by our president to
be a mistake as he had not been notified.
Mr. Albert and Mr. Stevens came. We

There is another "ft" which has ulo come to stay.
It is unlike the figure 9 in our dates in the respect

It will permanently' remain. It if called the "No.

The "No. 9" was endorsed for first place by the
experta of Euroie at the Paris Exposition or 1889,
where, after a scverocontest with the loading ma
chines of the world, it was awarded the only
Grand Prize given to family sewing machines, all
others on exhibit having received lower awards
of gold medals, etc The French Government
also recognized its superiority by the decoration of
Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler, President of the company,
with the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
Tho "No. 9" is not an old machine improved
