REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. For Judge of tho Supremo Court, A. M. POST, of Platte. For Regents of the State University, JOHN X. DRYDEN.of Buffalo. C. W. KALEY, of Webster. The average wages per man in India are $11. England ought to lie ashamed of herself. A CmtoN'ic whiue is mighty had poli tics and was formerly unknown to any of our parties. (" lobe-Democrat. Wooi, has advanced in price, too, as well as wheat, and thousands of farmers are contemplating going into tlse sheep raising business. If the high price of grain will lose votes for J. J. Sullivan, is there any other reason why than that Mr. Sullivan's par ty depends on calamity for campaign strength. The Albion News calls attention to the fact that if it was wheat alone that the farmers had to rejoice over, ''the calamity wailers might patch up an ar gument that would do until after elec tion day, but prices have been going upwards on several products. Lowtahitk, tariff reform, free silver, etc., are not any more attractive rally ing cries for the opposition, so the lead ers are studying the signs of the times for something drawing in the way of a shibboleth. Tin: political opponents of .ludgePost are compelled to acknowledge that ho is "an honorable citizen aad a capable judge," while at the same time, for party reasons, they oppose him. The above is the language of the Schuyler Quill with reference to Judge- Post. Said a vigorous pop the other day 'You republicans may carry tho state this year, but if we don't get good crops next season, we'll lick yon worse than ever." What an organization to tie to -founded on poor crops, nurtured on hot winds and pessimism and ready to die a natural death at the approach of pros perity. Tilden Citizen. The New York Sun, while democratic, was not an admirer of the Cleveland brand of democracy, and neither is it favorable to tho Bryan stamp. The Sun remarks: ' I'lio IIuii. William Jonninfta Bryan continues to revolve through the West ern country, but tho reports of his speeches do not reveal that he has ever mentioned the present striking verifica tions of his prophecy that wheat would fall to twenty-live cents if Mr. MeKin ley should be elected president." When republicans suggest tho truth of tho matter, thero arises a question at once. But what is to be said when such a pa-ier as the Kearney Democrat talks like this: "The indications arc plain to us that there is going to be a 'slump' toward the republican party this fall and it will require level and conservative heads to carry the full strength of tho republi can opposition through to a successful termination." Beforo the campaign is ended, gentle men, very many of you will be glad not to oppose tho republicans. Fool legislators aro about the worst kind of fools, because, besides tho gen eral inconvenience, it is very expensive also. John Sprecher, editor of the Schuyler Quill, though a populist, swears every time ho thinks about the blanket ballot which will be in use this full. He says: "It is a shame that people will send to the legislature a lot of chumps who feel called upon to do something and then the people must suffer for it afterwards. We had a fine ballot and aside from a little amending onr election laws and provisions were all right. Tho last leg islature was one that causes every pop ulist to blush with shame every time it is mentioned. Another such a legisla ture and goodbyo populist partv in Nebraska." In Bryan's speeches in St. Louis he missed a grand chance to draw a parallel between the conditions which prevailed ou Labor Day this year and those of tlse same day one year ago. In August, 188(5. the treasury gold reserve was down to SI00, 000, 000 at one time, but the certain ty that the Bryanites would be over whelmingly beaten in the elections in September sent the reserve up a little. This year tle reserve has been in the neighborhood of SU2.000,000 orS143,000 000 all through August, and is advancing. Last year at this time the people were boarding gold, and were looking for an other bond sale to protect the treasury reserve. This year nobody pays any at tention to the reserve, because everybody knows the reserve can take care of itself without any outside aid. Last year the eptcter of Bryanism was be fore the coun try, mid the suspense and dread just be fore the election blighted enterprise and created a sort of reign of terror. This year Bryanism is a subject of laughter and not fear 1,000,000 men who were idle last October are now at work at fair wages, aud prosperity and happiness aro seen on all sides. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. WHICH BRAXD OF DEMOCRACY? The nomination of Judge Sullivan for supreme judge by the threo silver con ventions at Lincoln gives tho greatest satisfaction. He is unequivo cally opposed to ring' rule and does not believe in turning tho state over to cor porations. Although a silver democrat, lie has the enthusiastic support of ev ery populist in the state, because he is a man who will not bow to tho money power. Tekamah Burtcnian (pop.) By such assertions as these the fusion is! press is endeavoring to counteract the very marked dissatisfaction in pop ulist ranks with the forced nomination by their state convention of a democrat ic candidate who has always opposed populists and everything that oavored of populism. Although Judge Sullivan was foisted mpon them by the state house machine, SfiGsn9BfiH99 Judge Sullivan says there never has been and cannot be any doubt about his "ardent support of every plank of the Chicago platform." This queers him in Dodge county, which is by a large mnjority in favor of sound money and upholding the U. S. supreme court. Fremont Tribune. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmt with the aid of its patronage-plastered satellites, honest populists are assured that he is opposed to ring rule. Al though Mr. Sullivan's whole public career shows him to have been the inti mate associate of corporation lawyers and railroad democrats and always with in call when needed by the railroads, men who joined the populist party to fight railroad domination are told that he does not favor corporations. To the statement that the fusion nom inee for supreme judge is an original silver democrat and a man who is at outs with the money power, the best answer conies from the gold-democratic papers that, while denouncing silver fiat ism and fulminating eternal warfare upon populism, proclaim a readiness to support Judge Sullivan as a gold demo crat in spite of his fusion endorsements. As an example, the following from one of the most outspoken exponents of the extreme railroad wing of the Xebraska gold democracy is in point: While tbo Democrat is not inclined to endorse the mixture compounded by the three-in-one convention, it feels favora ble to Judge Sullivan for the reason that he is a sound-money democrat, having always espoused tho gold stand ard and never accepted the 1G to 1 idea, lie did support Mr. Bryan last year upon the ground of regularity and not be cause he indorsed the wild and erratic doctrine sent forth by the Chicago con vention. With Judge Sullivan and Judge Post to select from, we would prefer Snllivau, even handicapped as he is by a populist nomination. Beatrice Democrat (gold-dem.) The question is, Which is best fitted to give cxtiert testimony on Judge Sulli van's brand of democracy the gold democrats with railroad proclivities, with whom he has always trained and to whom he owes hia political prominence, or the popuiists, whom he has always antagonized and who know nothing of him except that he was made their standard bearer against their will by the free pass brigade of the fusion ma chine.

The largest number of cases reported cu any day since yellow fever first made iis ap pearance in Xew Orleans two weeks ago was recorded ou the books of the board of health last evening at 0 o'clock, although at that hour not a single case bad proved fatal during the day. There wf-re is fHtea iu all. including nine re ported bv Dr. Joseph Holt, all of the latter having been duly flagged and been put under quarantine regulations. The niot sensational incident of the day was the announcement from Dv. Joseph Hoi: , ex-president of the board of health, that he had discovered nine cases among his practice, the firsr of which had come under his observation on Friday. Dr. Holr wrote u letter to President Olliphaur and entrusted it to the mail and his letter reached the board of health otlice iu the moruiug. Bur fearing thai tho letter might not reach its destination iu time, Dr. Holt sent a siuvial m-ssenger to the lf-sideiice of Dr. UUiphant on the boail at IS o'clock Sunday night, giving this infor mation. The public, however, did not learn of the Holt cases until shortly before noon. At the board of health office when the Holt letter was opened there was opened t here was first iucrcdr ulity aud then criticism of Dr. Holt be cause ho had adopted what the board considered an irregular way in which to make known his eases. Immediately upon tha receipt of the latter, the machinery of the ijourd was placed in motion aud inspectors wore sent to the various houses where Dr. Holt reported sickness to exist. The places were all disinfected and guards placed iu front of tbeaj, but the board said it had very little hope of the effec tiveness of these measures .since, all ; those who desired were given an oppor tunity to cxa-ape from the infected houc-.s. One of tjirj houses, where four of the patients are, in a fashionable boarding houe. The first 'ase to de velop iu this house was at 2 :r0 Satur day morning and the other cus.es iu tho same plr.ee were noted on Saturday afternoon. Tinny Jiviug iu the house, of whom there were quite a number, knew of the ei'sSenee of thti !Vvr early Saturday morning and theivforu got our as fr as possible. Some of them moved their baggage on Saturday aud others on Sunday, while it is said some of the boarders took a train aud went to Atlanta. Shortly after tbo board of health wiw made acquainted with the contents of tlu' letter of Dr. Holt, it held an executive conference and de cided to immediately order its Itoard of experts to visit the nine eases of Dr. Holt and decide whether or not they wero suffering with yellow fever. The expeits attempted to carry out the in struction oi t ne roam, out wnen tney piuiuu ... ti. ,.i,-. jiviun.-. ai. nun entered an objection ana reiuseu tiiem pennissiou to examine any of iijs pa tients, taking t he position that he had properly diagnosed them and that, be ing an expert himself, there was no oc casion for further investigation. After the experts made their report the loard of health went into executive session and dicussed at length what was termed Dr. Holt's violation of a city ordinance which he had himself passed and which provides for the pun ishment by line or imprisonment of any physician who might fail to report a positive or suspicions case of yellow fever in a period like the present one. The question of the immediate prosecu tion of Dr. Holt came up aud was cou sicbrtd. but the board finally decided to summon Dr. Holt to appear before them and explain his alleged negligence in the promises. The result of the meeting wjlj decide whether or not there shall be a prosecu tion of Dr. Holt iu the courts. Dr. Holt is one of the most eminent physicians in the south, was for several years presi dent of the board of health, is a yellow fever expert and has an international reputation by reason of his invention of the quarantine system at the mouth of the river, which has been pronounced tho finest in the world, aud which has beiu copied by all the leading cities of this and other couul-ie.s. The lionnl of liiv.lt h decided to send an appeal to Governor Foster asking him to supplv the Loard $23,000 from the surplus fund of the state to assist the board m prosecuting its fight ugainst the f.wr. After a conference of the health and city authorities, the Oakland driving park was selected us the site for the camp of detention, lr is situated in the rear of the city aud was tendered to the officials by the Crescent City Jockey club. A large force of men were im mediately put to work and it is ex pected tliat by touigln the camp will be ready to receive 200 or 300 people from the Italian quarter. Many people who live in infected houses, who de sire, may go to this camp and be cared for. AN ILLEGAL COMBINE. Judge Foster Makes a Sweep ing Antitrust Decision. KNOCKS OUT C-riPTT i-r-s, vv "OH.

Toij:ka, Sept. 21. United States District Judge Foster made a sweeping decision, in which be declared the or ganization known as the Kansas City Live Stock exchange illegal under the provisions of the antitrust law. The exchange is an org :;:iz.ttion of commis sion men who coiit rul the sale of lie stock iu Kansas City. All stx-k which enters the city must pass through the bauds of this organization. Judge Fos ter enjoins the exchange from doing business and declav. .-: it an unlawful combination. Kansas Cirv,Sepr. 21 The news of the decision rendered by Uuiteil States Judge Foster, declaring the Kansas City live stock exchange :: violation of the Sherman antitrust law. caused a great deal of suppressed excitement at the stock yards here. Some memljers of the exchange say the dissolutiun of the exchange will be a severe blow to the live stock interests if it stands the test in the higher courts. They say that the business as carried on under the rules of the exchange has been reduced to a scientific basis ami guarantees to every patron an honest deal. President John C. McCoy said : "We are in the hands of our lawyers aud until we see them we do not know what action will be taken by the ex change. Iu fact, we do not know the full import of the decision and are iu no position to stay what we can do." The case was that brought by the United States district attorney nearly a year ago. when Grc-e. Mills & Co., a Chicago-Kansas City firm, was driven from the exchange. The firm was sus pended for the nonpayment of fines ag gregating $1,000 and" sued for an in junction. Tho association h located on the Kansas-Missouri iinr-in tht, immediate vi cinity of the Kansas City Stockyards company's yards. The decision declares that the exchange is elearlv a combine tiou whose purpose is to restrict, control mid monopolize the buying ami soiling of live stock at the Kansas City yards and continues: "The methods and aims of many of thes CA.-hargHS and boards of trade are nor altogether beie ficial to the business and commerce of the country. The crying complaint of today and the great menace to the wel fare of tjie people is the tendency of wealth to inouopolixp ayd control by trusts and combine the product and industries of the country, end ir mnM be confessed by every thoughtful ob server that many of the so-called slock and prodnro exchauges are among the most potent i!itruro&ntaliiics for the accomplishment of these purposes by speculators and adventurers' Judge Foster defines the interstate law aad says : "It is iudisputabk- that all the live slock shipped to these de fendants for sale from states other than Kansas or Missouri, after it has entered the current of cojuttit W. tetweeij the states, coutiuue and remain subjects erf such commerce until the transportatiou ?s terminated and the property become a parr .; tjie general property of the state It ia ate, well settled that while this property in tm .subject of interstate commerce, no state, inuuiciiulitv or . other power but congress can impose I faxes, restrictions or regulations noon H, cx.'-i.;jt as far as proper in the exer cise of polK-e u-jjr.Jations for the protec tion of the health, morals Jjud person of the citizen, and except rot- jwoper charges and regulations for the use of local instruments as aids or incidents to uucii eoiiipyn-ce, such as docks, bridges, wharves. efevgtQts, ferries, pilotage, etc." ROADS FAVOR HEAVY SHIPPERS. i tiiertatf Coniiiifrrr Commission Hearing Charges of Warehousemen. Kansas City, Sept. 21. The hearing pf the case of the Ameilcan Warehouse men's association against the Illiuoia i Central railway and G other great trunk lined of tho United States wag begun iu the federal bsjltuug this after- noon before J. D. Ycomaus uf Sioux member of the interstate uitv, ta., a commerce commission. The hearing here relates only to the lines running from Kansas City. The American Warehoifctoineu's association has com plained to the commission that the rail roads of the country, since tlicy iav.e been prevented by the interstate com merce act from favoring their heavy shippers with rebates iu freight rates, have, cuutiuued to show favoritism by granting to thtr. large shippers the privilege of free storage in their freight warehouses. By this railroad are house companies are cut off of a large volume of busiue&s and therefore the association has made a complaint to the interstate commerce commission. E. K. Sumuierwell of New York, attorney representing the Warehousemen's asso ciation, sam touay mat tne case IS probably the most important ever brought before the commission. Local freight agents of the Wabash, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and the c-iicago Great Western ap peared before the .commission today. All admit that their big customers have been receiying a consideration top which the railroad was not compensated. MEETING OF HOMESEEKERS. First Aaaaal Convention of the National Association. Chicago, Sept. 21. Tho. first annual convention of the National Honieseck ere' association, a meeting of those in terested in urging the surplus popula tion of the citie3 to take up homes in sparsely settled agricultural regions of the United States, was held here today. About 50 delegates were present from all parts of the country, but at least 200 are expected to appear at tomorrow's session. Today's meeting was called to onler by George B. Girling of Chi cago, chairmau of the executive com mittee of the association. He made a short speech outlining the work of the association and also read the call of the convention. The call says: "We firm ly believe that the safety of the repub lic is threatened by tho concentration of the population into the crowded center. and history teaches that those uatious achieve the highest attainments where the majority of the people are home owners and not tenants, aud at the pres ent time nearlv three-fourths of the American people are liviug in rented homes. Such a coa M iou endangers the stability of the government." Per manent organization was then completed. ODD FELLOWS IN SESSION. Sorerelgu Grant! LoiIr.- Convened at bnrinsnVlif, Ills.
