Ono of our citizens says that Hens ley wants to get a position down at Washington so that he can go fishing with Grover Cleveland. Nebraska is all right, likewise the people of Nebraska, if tho lessons of the past year are laid to heart and their inner meanings heeded. - Germans, let us ask you to lay aside your partisan feelings and vote for Gus G. Bccher for representative of Platte on your general interests. Don't bo deceived by the similarity of names, but bo suro to put your X opposite tho name of Gus. G. Becher, as a candidate for tho legislature. - Dig all tho irrigation ditches that are needed, but in tho meantime vote tho republican ticket.

He niado no other or furth er reference than this to Mr. Hensley's candidacy. It is very safe to say that we will have no more dust for awhile, except the kind that the demo-pop combination are trying to throw into tho eyes of the republicans. Tho barn of Jako Borowiak was al most destroyed by lire last Thursday evening. Two horses belonging to Joe Paprocki perished in tho Haines. In surance $200. Alii-uiioii, Ladies! You are re quested to call at Galley's store on next Friday, Nov. 2d, 'fll, and select a fall or winter jiictc.

Marble, formerly a regent of tho State University, makes republican speeches at Creston Oct. :H, Platte Cen ter Nov. 1. Everybody invited to hear him discuss the political issues. George Mitchell, U. P. conductor on No. 7 and S, suffered a paralytic stroke Monday evening and was left hero until Tuesday morning, when he was taken to his homo at Omaha. - "Tree Planters State" is the name recently adopted for Nebraska by the State Historical society. Excepting along the rivers, nearly all tho trees in the state have been set out by the hand of man. J. C. Spreeher, populist candidate for senator, speaks in this city tomorrow (Thursday) evening. Ho and Chas. A. Brindiey, candidate for county attorney, have been canvassing in the west part of the county. - A republican rally will bo held at Monroe next Saturday evening, at which short addresses will be made by W. A. McAllister, J. N. Heater, M. Whittnoyer and others. Let everybody, especially every voter, attend. Tomorrow (Thursday) ovoning, Nov. 1, Hon. A. E. Cady and lion. N. V. Har lan are to mako political speeches at Schuyler. Those of our readers who are within good going distance, should be suro to hear them. Tho new lire-alarm whistle manu factured by Mr. Spicer, is a startler suro enough; there is no mistaking what it is. If it is to bo used for any other purpose, another ono ought to bo mado that will sing a different tune. Tho Farmers' club met at John Tan nahiU's Friday, quite a large numbei being present, and subjects of general interest discussed. The next meeting will bo at A. W. Clark's and John Tan- nahill is to speak on Irrigation. - Gus G. Becher's election seems now to bo almost beyond peradventure, but it will be well for his friends not to re lax their efforts until the polls are closed. Gus will make a good representative of the county's interests at the capital. Rev. Pulis gives tho address next Sunday evening at the Union gospel temperance meeting, under the auspices of the Y. M.C. A., and Rev. Rogers gives the temperance chalk talk; besides which there wili be music. Everybody invited. - It looks as though there is to be a concerted effort to try to keep populist and democratic voters from supporting Gus G. Becher. Let his friends keep watch and see that he is sent to the legislature to vote for a republican U. S. senator. Bloom Bros, of Texas have got ahead of A. W. Armstrong of Columbus in gettiug their cotton-picking machine into use. Four men and four mules pick ten to twelve bales a day, and it is thought tho machine will revolutionize cotton farming. C. H. Marble, formerly a regent of the state university, will deliver address es as follows: Lindsay Oct. 30, Creston Oct. 31, Platte Center Nov. 1. Let republicans and all other voters turn out to hear him. The meetings will all be 4 held in the evening. The Devine meeting Monday even ing was attended by a comparatively small audience, but the populists present were well pleased with his remarks. Our space has been so called upon for protection that wo do not have room for any of his sentiments. Starting with Oct. 15th, 1891, The CoiiUMBCs Journal subscription rates are 81.50 a year, if paid in advance, I otherwise 82.00 a year. Settlements up io mat uate must be mado on the basis of the former rate. AU premiums now advertised hold good. Tha Seward Blade says that ''the Milford High school boys have organized a brass band, and they have each one agreed upon their honor that they will not use tobacco, liquors, or vile and obscene language while on duty, or while away from home under the same man ner." The Oakland Republican calls at tention to the fact that tho letter which candidate Devine reads concerning Kan sas affairs to prove that populistic poli tics is a good business investment, has been denied as a forgery by the Beatrice gentleman who is reported as receiv ing it. Hear all the speakers on all sides, as you have opportunity, keep your own counsel, and then do your own voting. It is good in all things not to be over whelmed with talk, or pushed away from sound principles by every wind of doc trine. Raw opinions are not good men tal food. John Krzycki, who lives eouth of tho Loup, shipped a car load of beets from here Friday to Norfolk. He says he will have two cars, or about thirty-six tons. At $5 a ton this will mako him 8180, and as he had but six acres wo think 8'0 an acre good money for one year's use. R. Coddington of Kearney has au irrigation pump that is cheap; he has no intention of taking out a patent; the ono ho has now at work draws 13,000 gallons an hour. He oxpects soon to have in operation one made of iron in stead of wood, and that will draw 27,000 gallons an hour. The Schuyler folks claim they have a rise of land a milo and a half from tho town that is as high or higher than the top of the city's 100-foot water tower, on which the new canal, projected by O. Nelson, could terminate and furnish a most excellent water power for the use of Schuyler manufacturers. - Down in Seward county Sunday of last week, a tramp broke into four farm houses while the families were absent from home and stole various articles of more or less value. If in all such cases tho farmers would mount their horses, turn out in squads and run the culprits down and secure their punishment, tramps would take tho hint and quit. -Tho reports from delegates to tho Stato Christian Endeavor convention made to the Presbyterian and Congrega tional congregations recently wore very interesting, and those who were present were much gratified with the facts stated. The papers by Rev. Rogers, Clarence Sheldon, Miss Minnie Becker, Albert Elliott and Miss Bessio Sheldon were well prepared. Mrs. J. R. Kinnan who lives ten miles from tho city in Polk county, raised thirteen hundred bushels of ap ples this year for which she finds ready sale. Years ago Mr. Kinnan set out a large nursery and the trees now on tho place are what was left of the nursery stock unsold. There is no doubt but Nebraska soil is especially adapted to raising good apples and grapes. In tho stato assembly Murphy and Ponnoy will make good companions of Gus G. Becher, and those districts may well feel proud in advance of the elec tion, over the prospect of sending threo such good citizens and republicans to represent them in legislation for tho state and in casting three good, strong votes for a United States senator, who will work in tho interests of tho United States rather than England. Murphy, the republican candidato for senator, is a successful business man of Rogers; ho is an ardent republican, an excellent citizen, and when ho gets to Lincoln as the senator from Colfax and Platto counties, he will doubtless make his official career as successful for the people's interest as his individual efforts have been for his own. Business integrity and a useful career as a privato citizen are very good corner stones for tho foundation of public service. We find tho following in the Seward Blado of tho 24th. Our information was that Mr. Green had removed to Lincoln: "Conductor Green who has punched tickets on tho A. & N. between Lincoln and Columbus for several years, is mov ing his family from Columbus to Bill ings, Montana, and will run tho flyer out of Billings, over the first division. Con ductor Erwin who has been running on the noon trains, Nos.41 and 42, will tako Conductor Green's old run on tho A. & N." Somo of tho inconsistencies of the campaign are too apparent for any voter to be deceived. To sturt with, Bryan, a free-silver advocate, supporting Boyd, a gold standard man as against Deaver, ono or his own kind; and in this district Hensley, a free-silver democrat, as against Devine, who is doubtless a freer silver democrat; democrats leaving their own nominee, Zentmyer, for tho popu lists' own nominee, Spreeher; tho popu lists using Powers to get votes for that portion of their full .ticket not in tho demo combine. When the 6tnoke of the congres sional campaign in this district shall have cleared away, it will doubtless be discovered that Judge Hensley had been lod by the ignis fatuus of ambition and soft words of his quasi-allies to believe that he would receive a largo section of the populist vote in the district, large enough to overcome the republicans. It is pretty difficult for most men to make cool calculations in the midst of a heated contest, and Mr. Hensley can hardly bo blamed for having an enlarg ed view of the situation. Nich. Blaser was in the city Mon day. Inquired of as to news, he told us that ho was about finishing a large dwelling house for C. Bienz, a neighbor of Samuel Imhoff, in Loup township. He also has the contract for moving house, granary and corn crib3 for Adam Smith, who having sold a large farm in Stanton county, has invested some of his money in the Bowman place east of this city. Mr. Blaser brought in Monday two loads of fat hogs which he sold to Lewis .fc Wiggins, and recently disposed of 21 head of cattle to Mr. Hendryx of Monroe. The Oxnard Beet Sugar Companv announces that their books are open for the making of contracts for the required acreage of 1895. They expressly desire only the best of farmers to contract. Blank contracts will be furnished upon application. As the seed has to be im ported from Europe early in December it is important that those who antici pate planting beets should make their contracts immediately that the proper variety of seed may be ordered, espe cially adapted to the different localities. Oxnard Beet Sugar Company, Grand Island, Nebraska. 4t Tuesday morning of last week, Rev. Father Anastacius, at St. Bonaventura church, united in marriage Anton Mas lonka and Miss Victoria Miecek. The event was one that was quite extensively celebrated, the festivities being kept up at the home of the bride for several days and evenings, and we are informed that hundreds of pounds of beef and flour were used, besides 125 chickens. 3 hogs. 2 sheep and liquid refreshments in the shape of a half hundred or so kegs of beer. There certainly were a large num ber of guests from different parts of the county, and joy, as the poet says, "was unconfined." Gus. G, Becher knows the needsof Platto county people, has an extensivo acquaintance throughout the state, and will, as soon as he enters tho legislature, bo regarded as a man of influence upon the legislation of the state. In matters of revenue there are always acts pro posed that should be very closely scru tinized before they are allowed to pass; many a good suggestion is made but some so crudely presented that it would bo disastrous to adopt them. A man of affairs, Gus. G. Becher wonld be careful to notice objectionable measures, and throw his influence against their adop tion. We congratulate the people of Ful lerton and Nance county on the good judgment manifested in tho nomination of Frank Penney as float representative from this district. Mr. Penney is a suc cessful business man who by his long and honorable course in our midst has won the esteem and confidence of tho entire community. Ho is recognized ns conservative in business and in politics; level headed and intelligent. Just such a man as anyone would be willing to trust to manage his personal affairs and such ns ono would feel safe to trust in the management of the affairs of state. If we elect Frank Pennov we shall have reason to be proud of our representative. Fullerton Journal. George Davis, son of the widow Davis, formerly of this place, and who had when here as a young lad a very checkered experience, developing mora and moro into criminal ways, was cap tured at Kearney Saturday. He was wanted for supposed implication in the murdor of the chief of polico of Missouri Valley about a year ago. There has been a standing reward of 8500 by the gover nor of Iowa for the capture of the mur derer, and officer Overmier of Kearney will claim it. Having been shown, by detective Vizzard of Omaha, a photo graph of the murderer, and recognizing it as the picture of a fellow who had been around Kearney for some time, ho had him locked up a few minutes after see ing tho picture. Wo understand that Judge Hens ley's political friends are working among tho old soldiers to get votes for him. The best electioneering among old sol diors is to know that, at all times, under all circumstances thoro is a steady desire to advance tho best interests of the coun try by tho enactment and enforcement of just laws, and tho fair recognition of houorablo service dono during the war, by the veteran now disabled, or for his widow and children, if ho ha3 gone the way of all tho earth. The democratic party, by its president and his Hoke Smith, would have, if it could, changed the wholo system of granting pensions and put the granting of them upon tho basis of pauperism, instead of, as the patriotic sentiment of the country is, a recognition, however small, of tho hon orable and very valuable services of the veteran. All tho old soldiers ask of any political party or its candidato is fair treatment, and thoy are pretty sure not to tako electioneering talk merely. - Tuesday evening of last week, Bert McFarland, son of J. K., who lives direct ly south of I. Gluck's residence, saw a man holding his hand over a small blaze that ho had evidently started in a load of hay standing on a wagon, near McFar land's barn. Young McFarland says that the man was tall ho saw him plain ly, but this is all he can say of him. His attention was turned to the fire, rather. Tho wagon was run into the street and tipped over so as to savo tho hay-rack and wagon from burning. The fire de partment was called out, and no further damage than the burning of the hay was reported; loss S5. Tho hay blazed up the next morning at 9 o'clock. This shows how necessary it is to use a great abundanco of water when hay is afire. As to tho origin of this blaze thoro were a number of surmises. It was rumored that Mr. McFarland had received two threatening letters lately, but ho says there is no truth whatever, in that. A man who would deliberately set such a fire, realizing the possible consequences, would no doubt commit murder in order to accomplish any foul purpose ho might entertain. The democratic central committee had a meeting at Maennerchor hall Tues day of last week as The Jouns'Aii was going to press. What was dono wo know not, but wo suppose the usual discus sions on such occasions took place. Wo notice, however, that in the Telegram of Saturday, the committee, through its chairman and secretary, by order, issue an address to the democracy of Platte county, in which thoy plead for Honsley and Bryan, who are specially named, along with reference to the ticket in general. Tho inference to bo drawn from this much of the address would naturally be that thoy desire special effort to be made for Hensloy and for tho legislative ticket to support Bryan. Nothing is said about tho demo-pop fusion and con fusion on tho stato ticket, and this omis sion shows tho skill of postmaster, Davis, "which is secretary." Of courso it is the will of tho committee, "tho voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau." In former days we heard something of "offensive partisan ship," when federal office-holders engag ed in politics, but when a Cloveland democrat only acts as secretary of a com mitteo to advocate tho election of an anti-Cleveland democrat to tho United States senate, republicans can surely be allowed to merely mention tho fact and let it go at that. Don't fail to read Reed's speech. In ono paragraph he makes clear to any man who will think a minute why it is that tho United States thrives under a protective policy, - so clear that none need bo mistaken. After pondering this thought, if you are a democrat and still have donbts, look up tho record of the past, your own great party men of tho early times, and see how far the modern leaders have lead away from the old standard of right, and the proper way. Thomas Jefferson, often referred to as the founder of democracy, in his second message, in enumerating the land-marks, mentions this as among the most promi nent: "to protect tho manufactures adapted to our circumstances"; "Shall we," ho asks, "suppress the imposts (duties) and give that advantage to for eign over domestic manufactures?" Again, "Tho general inquiry is, 6hall we make our own comforts, or go without them at the will of a foreign nation? He, therefore, who is now against domestic manufactures, must be for reducing us either to a dependence upon that nation, or to be clothed in skins and live like beasts in caves and dens. I am proud to say I am not one of these. Experience has taught me that manufactures are now as necessary to our independence as to our comforts." And so on we might quote from one after another. After satisfying yourself that the present stringency in business is due directly to the legislation already accomplished under the Wilson bill, as well as to the threat of going to still further lengths as the southern democratic leaders can find help and opportunity, make up your mind not to take the advice of Senator Allen or of Congressman Bryan or any such, but cast your vote for the men of the republican party who are pledged to the policy of protection to American in tereststhe men who live here to do the work required to furnish the products of labor for the consumption of laborers, because really all others can be elimi nated from the equation and not mate rially change the problem, for the pur poses of our home market, the workers are the consumers. We are fighting our national problems right here, when we cast our ballots, and if Gus. G. Becher and Penney for representatives and Murphy for senator receive your votes, you will be helping to elect men who will vote for a protection U. S. senator to represent Nebraska, as successor to Man derson, thus throwing your influence upon national politics in the right direc tion, just the same as when you vote directly for Meiklejohn for representa tive iQ congress. THURSTON'S SPEECH A GRAND VINDICATION OF REPUBLI CAN PRINCIPLES. The American Idea of American Prod nets for American Wage Earners American Money Good a the Best. A large crowd greeted John M. Thurs ton yesterday afternoon at the opera house, a great many being present from neighboring towns. Everybody was well pleased with the speech except, of course, members of the opposition party, who couldn't help but admire the wit of the orator notwithstanding. The Columbus and the Monroe cornet bands added greatly to the enjoyment .with stirring national and other airs. A special feature of the meeting were the songs by the David City glee club, composed of seven gentlemen, ono of whom accompanied tho singers on a small organ, j. and their productions brought down applause every time. "We are all longing for the coming of the G. O. P. and. prosperity" was the burden of one song. "Queen Lil." furnished amusement for another. "Too much free trade trash" for another, bringing in some of our local populistic politicians. We are very sorry that we have not tho space to give a full account of the speech, but occurring at tho very hour when we usually go to press, we have delayed that event to get a few words, and must be satisfied if wo can even hint at somo of the main thoughts of his speech. Although Thurston's voice was, as he said, rough and ragged like the fusion platform, ho had no trouble in making himself heard throughout. Ours is a government of laws and there are cer tain great underlying principles upon which depends the prosperity of tho people. Wo all honor our fellow citizeus who entertain political principles different from ours, but it is not American and it is not manly for men to forego their principles and make combinations merely to "down" somo ono political party, without reference to principles. The republican party stands for pro tection to American industries; every day's work that is to be dono for the people of tho United States, to be dono by the people of tho United States, to bo paid for in money of tho United States, and as good as any in tho world; tho prices of things that represent the workman's toil shall bo fixed on tho principlo of fair wages fixed by tho workmen. Two years ago tho transparancies of the opposition had on them: "No more 70 cent wheat when we turn the republi can party out." That was tho only promise "they had fulfilled but in a direction not profitable to tho American farmers. Two years ago this country was at the summit of prosperity, a high water mark in the world's history, and in all this country there was not one man who was willing to work but could get it, and get good wages. Today it is very different. Blood-to-the-bridlo Waite had said there are 4,000,000 idle men now, but put it at half that, each man representing, say, a family of four, and we 8,000,000 without work and of course not earning wages, and not buying the farmer's surplus products, and henco tho low price of wheat among other things. Wo must remember that only 8 per cent of what we raise is sold abroad; 92 per cont used at home, and most of it by wago-earnors in our diversified industries. But whon tho factories and mills are shut down or work on half time, and laborers there are thrown out of employment, our home market is paralyzed, and this lias been dono by tho Wilson bill Wilson receives his ovation among tho lords of England, McKinloy his with tho poople of tho United States. Ho talked with ono manufacturer who complained that his business had drop ped off wonderfully, ho was a maker of tooth-picks. When asked how it hap pened, as the new tariff law did not affect that industry, "Great Scott," ho replied, "don't you know that people who eat soup don't need tooth-picks." Bryan had said that in '92 thoro wero 4,000 strikes in this country. It was possibly true, but nearly all of them wero for higher wages or shorter hours and they nearly all succeeded-. But how is it now? Tho workman is fortunate, under existing conditions, if he can get employment half tho time at any thing liko fair wages, and glad to get it. Tho truth is that under protection labor fixes ihe prices, whilo under free trade, capi tal hxes them. Bryan had said that wo wero claiming tho blessings of Provi dence to be tho results of republican legislation. It did seem a singular thing that Providonco was always good to us under republican rule, but it looked as though tho Lord knows what politicians ho can trust in the United States. Ha then touched upon tho prico of wool and how the industry of sheep raising was injuriously affected by dem ocratic legislation. Tho Wilson bill lots in Australia wool in competion with ours, there no winter, cheap lands, cheap labor, wool shipped hero as ballast, and put into our market bringing down American prices. No wonder that sheep, which brought 82.40 a head two years ago, bring now only 40 cents. Horses much tho same. The McKin loy tariff was sufficient to keep out in jurious competition with the products of our farms, but now they can all come in and a good horse is not now worth his keep for the winter. A man in Utah the other day who owned 7,000 horses, found a tenderfoot, with whom he ox changed 1,000 head for land so high up the mountain that it was beyond taxa tion, and as the fellow could not count, he put on to him tho whole herd. As for cattle, ono of our great farming industries in Nebraska, tho McKinloy bill had a duty of 810 a head, but the Wilson bill puts 20 per cent ad valorem, that is, one-tifth of the valuation placed upon thorn by the owner in the country from which they are shipped. Tho papers the other day gave an account of one million cattle to be shipped from Mexico. These will bo valued at 3 to 6 dollars a head, and will come into this country at about SI a head duty. What then? "Grazed and fattened and ship ped to Kansas City or South Omaha, and conio into competition with every steer you havo for salo--you on your Nebraska farm competing with the Mex ican greaser, for supremacy in your home market! What an idea for Ameri cans! Tho beet-sugar industry was referred to with telling effect. Also tho recent elections which show that republicanism is on the boom. Bryan had said that the ladies are for free trade. He wished to ask just one question, whether the lady was the wife of a workman oa a banker, "Don't you find it harder to get 50 cents out of tho old man now than it was 810 two years ago?" The democratic party at Omaha was wrapped up in brown paper, tied with a fusion string and turned over to the pop ulists without even the formality of a receipt, but they would find that fusion in September would result in confusion in November. He wanted to say to soft shelled democrats and hard-shelled pop ulists that the republicans would send a man to tno United btates senate wno wouldn't have to talk fourteen hours to say something. In that historic scene in the house of representatives when Wilson was carried out on the shoulders of his confreres, Bryan upheld one of the hmd-quartere; he will also find himself at the end of tho procession in Nebraska this fall. He is like the fellow who made a night out, filling up on tariff drink (that is whiskey and sugar) and in making his way home came upon a worm fence, climbing back ward and forward until he was tired out, when he sat down to collect his thoughts: "Jerusalem, I must have walked a good piece, and I've climbed all the fences in the state." If there are any political fences that Bryan baa not yet climbed, they are republican we say this for our selves, John. He then touched upon the silver ques tion, but we must close our report ab ruptly. Down to T3 the United States coined 8,000,000silverdollars. From '78, (most of the time under republican ad ministration) down to "94, we had coined 8429,000,000, and every one of these dol lars as good as the very best in the whole earth. The opposition had said that gold went up in price because we didn't have unlimited silver coinage. If it did, then labor advanced because whatever dollar we have had could be exchanged, with discount, for gold. He exhibited to the audience two Mexican dollars, each with 5 grains more silver than one of our dollars, and yet he said he had bought them with one of our dollars at Lincoln the other day. The American people will protect every American prod uct; we will have an American system of finance, coin our own silver and gold, and let foreign nations care for their own silrer and gold. No party can sneceed built only upon prejudices, upon passions, upon tearing down the true practice is to build up, to stand up for Nebraska, and for the United States. Closing with a few words of commendation for Tom Majors and the ticket, he said let us go forward to a new prosperity and a new advance. A. J. Piper, republican candidate for secretary of state, was introduced by Chairman Kramer, and said a few words as to the condition of affairs in Kansas and Nebraska, in the section where he lives.

Stephen Kloibcr of Illinois and Mrs. Mary Noll of Iowa wero also present. Suddenly Killed. Monday evening at 8:30, Chas. Brown, a Union Pacific switchman, lost his life in the west end of tho yards here. Tho last seen of him alive he was on a car at tho side, lantern in hand, and it is sup posed he must have fallen to the track, where ho was found later, with a wound in his forehead, his arm and side mashed, probably six cars passing over his body, which was cold when found. Jack Dolan, the engineer, had his attention attracted first by an absenco of Brown's lantern, but supposed that it had gono out, but his body was found, as above described, about fivo minutes after tho light was last seen. The body was taken to Herrick's undertaking rooms. The deceased was about 25 years old, unmarried, had been here about a month, coming from Grand Island. Richard Brown, tho yard master, is a brother. The incident is one more illustration of what wonderful courage (conscious or unconscious), is exercised by every train man from engineer down, in manipulat ing tho greatest appliance known to civilization for the transportation of men and commodities. They are all truly soldiers, working for the good of their fellow-men, and exercising tho qualities which make heroes. Liablo to sudden death almost overy hour of their active service; liablo to mutilation, tho loss of limb, the loss of reason even, every one who thinks at all, must recognize the horoic principlo embodied in these very practical men. We learn from republican "fielders" that there are indications to show that there is a trade on hands which concerns the following candidates, and one usod to putting this and that together can readily seo what a fine opportunity there is, when you can fuso or not fuse just as the exigencies of tho campaign may in dicate to bo advisable: Hensley Devine Dirk BEcnnit Scuelp Sprechkic Zentmyek It is understood that Schelp and Dirk Becher understand each other and that both are to stay on tho track, Dirk to get as many German votes as he can, away from Gus. Becher, (some that Schelp could not get for himself), and in this way try to secure Schelp's election. We are told that Dirk Becher has declared that if there was no hope for his own election, he wonld do what he could for Schelp, and it seems as though he had come to that point in the campaign. The unusual strength Bhown by Murphy, the republican candidate for senator, has alarmed the fusion msnagers, hence tho effort to mass on Spreeher and throw aside Zentmyer. Now as to Hensley and Devine, tho situation is a little peculiar each ono thinks that if tho other was off the track, ho himself could win as against Meiklejohn, and however much they may in this surmise bo mistaken, there is no doubt of the opinion each holds, and of the sentiment that lies at tha bottom of it. Henco the stringency of the situation between the two and their campaigning forces they are not dwelling together in the unity of peace, but very much otherwise. Of course in a campaign of fusion where tho "fuse" is not of equally 6trong and co-ordinate elements, there must be more or less "confusion," and there seems to be more in this case, seeing that the central figure on the demo-pop side (Bryan), was drag ged into tho arena at Schuyler, and vir tually compelled to declare himself for Hensley as against Devine. And so it goes. We have fallen upon great times politically, sure enough. The best way out of it for our friends, tho enemy, is for the democrats, who do not wish to be delivered to the pops, and for the popu lists, who do not wish to be handed over to the demos, is to support the republi can ticket straight through. Young boys who are allowed to roam the streets at night are in danger of learning vices. A group of boys about 12 years old stole a basket of grapes from the front of Towle's one night last week, the next evening they robbed Arthur Schuster of a basket, and their third attempt was at Frank Hughes' store, where they were caught. The officers of the law turned the matter over to the boys' parents, who it is presumed spank ed them. The Herald has the names of the young thieves, but in consideration of the parents, withholds them from publication. Keep the boys off the streets at night! Schuyler Herald. ?mmm?mmnmmmmn 1373. F J.
