selection of candidates in the order of

tion, if elected, to do the best possible
for the public.
E. Pohl was next placed in nomina
tion for county clerk, and bis nomina
tion made unanimous by acclamation
In accepting the honor, he made refer
ence to the fact that he was not so

the schemes put on foot by the opposi
tion. He felt it an honor to address a
republican convention, and a great honor
to receive at their hands a nomination
for such an important office as county
judge. Our enemy in Platte have mark
ed us out for defeat, but no man needs
be ashamed of the republican party.

preciated in a degree, the import
ance of the interests of the
six thousand children of the

place of the men and women, and

could towards their perfection, and to

A New Horoe Dieae.
The Fremont Herald tells of the death
of a considerable number of horees dur
ing the summer from some ailment
which the ow ners could not understand.
Nearly always the malady seemed to
attack the horses which were in the best
condition; they would drive along all
right for a mile or two, and without
warning stop and stagger in tbe road,
showing weakness particularly in tbe
hind quarters, and in most cases would
die a few hours afterwards, in spite of
any treatment. Most of them after fall
ing would keep swaying the head and
violently striking the ground with it,
evidently being delirious and in much
pain. Mr. Emanuel wrote to Dr. Peters,
veterinary surgeon at the state agricul
tural farm, describing the symptoms,
and received a reply that the disease was
probably azoturia, and that it is gener
ally caused by too rich feed, over-feeding
and not enough exercise. He rec
ommends that horses be fed very spar
ingly while idle, and points out that
while in some localities the disease was
quite prevalent among nice, fat horses
during the winter, it gradually died out
when they were compelled to shut down
on the rations during the drouth of the
summer. He advises that a skillful vet
erinary be obtained as soon as the first
symptoms appear and to be especially
careful of over-feeding when not much
exercised.
The entire state will probably be
interested in tbe sorghum factory which
is about to open operations at Beatrice.
If good sugar can be made from sor
ghum, it will take a man who is a great
hand at figures to estimate the possibil
ities for Nebraska. Cane can be raised
in any part of the state, in vast quan
tities, and with far less labor than must
be expended upon beets, and the yield
per acre is generally enormous. The
proprietors of the new factory say that
by their process tbe extraction of sugar
from cane is not an experiment, but an
accomplished fact, and we hope, for the
general good, that their success may be
of the howling brand. Lincoln Journal.

CALIFORNIA LETTER.
Tke Joarnal Corrrnpondnit Writes Cone re
lax tke.l'olawbas Colony Near
San Diego.
Editor Journal: I have been so fre
quently reminded of Columbus today I
am inclined to seud you a fow notes. I
came over from our Riverside home to
spend a bit of vacation by the seaside at
San Diego and vicinity. I find quite a
number of old time Columbus people
here and about. Our old friend Amy
Stenger, now Mrs. Deford, is comforta
bly located at National City, assisting
her husband in managing quite an ex
tended and prosperous business. Tbe
somewhat noted lemon and orange or
chards of San Diego county are near
National City. My special mission was
to learn something of their orchard
methods and Mrs. Deford very kindly
took me among the growers. It was
very gratifying to see how wide nn ac
quaintance she has among this interest
ing and intelligent class of people, and
how cordially she is received into their
delightful homes. I find that her quiet
benevolence, kindly ways, and intelli
gent activities in tbe affairs of tbe com
munity in which she lives have secured
for her the esteem of all classes I am
glad to record this success of a Colum
bus girl.
I found Mr. S. C. Smith in a real es
tate office in San Diego, reminding me
of the little office on Twelfth etreet
where we used to know him years ago.
Mr. Smith is thoroughly conversant
with the growth of this attractive city
during the last decade as well as tbe de
velopment of the large citrus fruit
interests in the vicinity. He rendered
me valuable service in making my in
vestigations. Mr. Arnold was away fishing as usual
when I called at his home in National
City. I found Mrs. Arnold well and as
pleasant as we used to always know her
in Columbus. Later, I met Mr. Arnold
and was surprised to find him looking
so young and well. He is interested in
gold mines in the Sierras, with which he
is so well satisfied. The Klondike fever
now raging pretty severely here does
not affect him. It seemed a bit unreas
onable to see genuine Russian fur sleep
ing bags and other appurtenances to
make oneself comfortable in a frigid
climate displayed in front of outfitting
establishments in this semi-tropical
town.
Mr. Routson, formerly with Mrs. Dr.
Potts' Sanitarium, which is now closed,
I was told is in a real estate office in
San Diego. I did not see him.
Mrs. Clark, formerly of Columbus,
whose husband died at National City,
has a very pretty home there.
I met Mr. Phinney in San Diego,
looking remarkably bright and well,
seemingly younger than when he used
to come out to buy my hogs at the big
barn on the biuffc. His son, who used
to sell nursery stock for a Fremont
house, came over hero some years ago
and sold young lemon trees to growers.
He is now buying and packing their
lemons, doing an apparently good busi-
UbSS.
Mr. Schutte is yet at Carlsbad; I have
not seen bim, but am told that he lias
been having good crops and is also
handling grain and doing quite well.
Mr. Wadsworth is justice of the peace
at Escoudido. not faraway. I learn of
several other Columbus people here and
hereaboutc whom T have not had time
to hunt up. One thing ory certain our
friends have found homes in a most do
ligbtful climate, in a country to which
large prosperity is bound to come, soon
or later. Wo of Riverside concede odds
to no locality at homo or abroad in pro
ducing not only the moat but the finest
oranges grown, but have to concede
some advantages to this locality in pro
ducing the lemon.
By the way, I have noticed with much
satisfaction that The Journal has per
sistently held to its old faith in and
continued to put in its vigorous good
works for the old republican party, aud
it may care to know that our far off
state has alreudy commenced receiving
very substantial results from its faith
fully fulfilling its promises. We do not
expect any considerable advance in
prices because of the satisfactory pro
tection accorded to our fruit products,
but are assured of a steady market at
fair prices, enabling the producer to
invest bis money and arrange his plans
for tbe future with some assurance. At
the same tune consumers in the east
will pay little if any more for their fruit.
Our ability with the help of Florida to
supply the American markets with citrus
fruits is conceded beyond a doubt. Cal
ifornia will probably send not less than
ten thousand car loads of oranges to the
east tbe coming eeason (one-tbird of
which will come from Riverside).
A word as to Hawaii. We are selfish
mortals, and sometimes allow personal
interests to blind our minds as to the
general good. But on general principles
I can see no good and sufficient reasons
why we should depart from the well es
tablished American idea by annexing
those islands. Besides, to California,
Nebraska and some other states this
annexation presents a serious commer
cial question. That America in the
near future is to supply her own markets
with sugar I think is conceded by all
who have studied tbe subject carefully.
I will not go into the matter further
than to eay that we on the continent are
not prepared to compete with the cheap
labor already foisted on to those islands
in addition to their natural adaptation
to tbe production of this important
commodity. It seems to me a matter
worthy the consideration of the Nebras
ka people.
I sincerely hope that Columbus will
be well represented at the coming Irri
gation congress to be held at Lincoln.

JUDGE SULLI VAX'S CONVER
SION.
Public men are not to be judged by
their professions, but by their acts.
While the adage that wise men change
and fools never holds good in politics as
elsewhere, there ia a vast difference be
tween a change brought about by con
scientious conviction and a change
for policy's sake. This applies with
special force- to Judge Sullivan, the dem
ocratic candidate for supremo judge.
In his awkward attempt to explain
his eleventh-hour conversion to the free
silver clause Judge Sullivan refers to
the platform of the Nebraska silver de
mocracy of 1896, which he says he helped
to draft, as a proof of his sincere adher
ence to each and every doctrine and
principle enunciated therein. As a
clincher he declares: "There has never
been and could not be at any time
among the people of this vicinity the
slightest doubt of my ardent support
and approval of every plank in the Chi
cago platform."
The platform which Judge Sullivan
prides himself in helping to draft, every
word of which he says he indorses, con
tains the following declaration:
We are in favor of the election of Uni
ted States senators by the direct vote of
the people.
When was Mr. Sullivan converted to
this principle and what has brought
about his complete summersault on this
question':
In 188(5 the people of Nebraska, under
tbe constitutional provision which au
thorizes tbe popular expression of
choice for United States senator, by an
overwhelming vote proclaimed Charles
H. Van Wyck their choice for the Uni
ted States senate. Did Mr. Sullivan
respect the popular will as expressed
through the ballot box? Did he not
deliberately join with railroad demo
crats and railroad republicans in a con
spiracy to defeat the popular will? Is

not his vote on record in the journals of
the house of representatives of 1887, of
which he was a member, for J. Sterling
Morton, George L. Miller and other pro
nounced gold democrats whose candida
cies were notoriously in the interest of
the corporations?
But this is not all. Can Jndge Sulli
van square bis present professions of
faith in the people with the record on
page 242 of the 1887 house journal?
That record shows that on January 13,
1887, the following memorial waa pre
sen ted by Mr. Horst of Polk county,
now a prominent populist:
To the Honorable, the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America:
Whereas, It is the sense of thia house
that existing circumstances demand the
election of United States senator by the
people; therefore,
Yonr memorialists, the house of rep
resentatives of the state of Nebraska,
respectfully petition your honorable
body to submit an amendment to the
constitution of the United States pro
viding for tbe election of United States
senators by a direct rote of the people.
The vote as recorded shows that Sul
livan voted for tbe indefinite postpone
ment of tbe resolution, thus killing the
memorial. Taking tbe record made by
Judge Sullivan as a legislator as the
true teat of his make-up, no other con
clusion can be reached than that he,
like other political weather vanes, re
gards party platforms as mere fly paper
to catch the unwary and credulous and
to be deposited in the ash bucket after
it has served its use. Omaha Bee.
