Last Wednesday morning, fire de

Mondat night of last week the log

Two of the teams have been found at

The republican party stands for hon
est money and the chance to earn it by
honest toil William McEinley.
The nomination of Hon. M. B. Reese, i
Dean of the 8tate University Law
School, for supreme judge by the re
publican convention is the very best
that could have been made, and is a
death blow to Silas A. Holcomb's
chances for election to that high and
honorable position. Judge Reese is well
known by all parties to be an able, hon
orable and incorruptible jurist and a
christian gentleman. His nomination
by acclamation, while not an avowed
candidate, adds great strength to the
ticket. He did not seek the nomina
tion, but the office sought him, and it
was not known whether he would accept
the nomination until he was consulted
by telephone. By giving up his place
as dean of the law school for a seat on
the supreme bench he would give up a
salary of S3.000 a year for one of J&500.
Judge Reese's nomination leaves no sore
spots, ana ms election u uui 4uiuu

The nomination of Judge Reese for
the suprMM baah,was a. arise selection
snd one that is bound to lead the party
to victory this fall This nomination
is one that appeals most strongly to
AVArv citizen of the state, whether he
belongs to the republican party or .not.
Judge Reese is a lawyer who is the
peer of any man in Nebraska. He has
held with great credit many minor posi
tions leading up to the bench, upon
which he sat with eminent distinction
for six years. Since retiring from that
place ten years ago he has been in the
active practice of law and at the head
of the law department of the state
university. He is therefore up to date
in the profession which he graces.

Dubinq the coming winter the Hon,
Thomas. B. Reed, ex-Speaker of the
House of Representatives, will be a fre
quent contributor to The Saturday
Evenincr Post of Philadelphia. Mr.
Reed's papers will, in the main, deal
with national affairs, and will rorm a
most important and interesting contri
bution to the history of American poli
tics. Mr. Reed's first article, unlike
those to follow, crosses the Atlantic for
its subject and tells how the procedure
of French law courts, and especially
those involved in the Dreyfus case,
impresses an American lawyer. This
paper, entitled Paris and French Jus
tice, will appear in The Saturday Even
ing Post of October 7.
If anything, Judge Holcomb six years
ago promised better for the bench than
ex-Governor Holcomb today. Six years
ago he was serving as a district judge
and had not yet made his damaging
record of rank partisanship, flagrant
favoritism and gross neglect of duty in
the executive office. His career as gov
ernor instead of commending him as
qualified to act the impartial judge af-
tgrtlm proof positive that on Um bonoh,
as in the executive chair, he would be
the pliant tool of the unscrupulous pop-
ocratic machine upon which the cor
porations have constantly pulled the
strings. Omaha Bee.
The following from the Schuyler Sun,
is a sample paragraph concerning the
repnbican candidate for supreme judge.
Tliey are all saying about tne same
thing in substance: "No better selection
for supreme judge of the state could
have been made by the republicans than
when they named Hon. M. B. Reese.
He is a life-long republican of anti
monopolist tendencies, is a judge of
recognized ability and is a man of the
highest honor and integrity. His can
didacy will appeal to the conservative
thinking vote of the state, regardless of
party, and he will be elected by a rous
ing majority.
Ox the edge of the Arkansas field, the
rush for mineral lands in the South
Missouri counties is especially notice
able. A little more than a year ago
Ozark county had 109,000 acres of land
subject to homestead or cash purchase
at $1.25 an acre. This has been re
duced to 78,510. In other counties the
same activity has been shown. Home
steaders are hastening to prove up and
get their patents. All kinds of land are
in demand, and the squatter is hustling
to make sure of his farm, and to be in
a position to sell to the mineral pros
pector, so says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. Ralph J. Pcgslet was born in Peru,
Illinois, came to Nebraska in 1885, grad
uated at High school at Genoa, finished
his academical work at Gates college.
Assisted his father on farm for two years,
and took a business course at Fremont.
Studied law in office for a time and then
went to Lincoln law college, and while
there the call for volunteers was made.
He enlisted in Co. K, First Nebraska
National Guards, was mustered into the
U. 8. service, took part in the capture of
Manila and other engagements in the
insurrection of the Filippinos.
The islands which have recently come
under control of the United States were
annually importing more than a hun
dred million dollars' worth of goods,
and of this large sum we were furnish
ing less than 18 per cent. We will se
cure hereafter the greater part of this
trade, and by making good government
and peace sure to them, their business
ability will be strengthened and traffic
largely increased.
We are indebted to ex-Congressman
Maxwell for a copy of the Memorial ad-
aresses on tne lire and character of
Nelson Dingley, delivered in the house
of representatives and senate, Feb. 11
March 1, 1899. He was one of our great
country's honored citizens, leading a
life of usefulness all his days, s model
for the young men of this country to
pattern after.

nine to twelve of them are laid across
each other in-the form of an X with the
butts and heads alternating, snd the
rest of the shock is made by setting
bundles in the comers caused by the

A rhythmic madness in their song.

ONE GLASS OF WINE.
A Belief Tfcat It Chamsed the Hlatery
if This Cowatrr.
It is said that a single glass of wine
probably wrecked the Demooratio party
in 1860. The story is worth telling.
After the breaking up of the national
Democratic convention at Charleston
the party in Georgia held a state con
vention. Great excitement prevailed.
The leaders of the party could not
agree. It was a critical period.
The majority report indorsed the so
ceders or bolters st Charleston, while
the minority report opposed their ac
tion. The leading champion of the mi
nority was Herechel W Johnson, and
his followers were confident thst his
eloquence snd logic would carry the
day.
It is quite likely that such would
have been the case but for an unfortu
aate mishap. Ex-Governor Johnson be
gan his speech before the noon adjourn
ment on the second dsy and concluded
after dinner.
Old men who remember that speech
say that it was a powerful argument;
and the impression gsined ground that
after the noon recess the speaker would
demolish his opponents with a few
eledge hammer blows.
But the overconfident friends of the
minority report were doomed to disap
pointment Johnson felt the strain of
the morning session so much that as
was unable to eat anything, and he took
a glass of wine upon an empty stomach
to strengthen himself. This was a fatal
mistake. That one glass of wine per
haps changed the destiny of the nation 1
The great orator resumed his speeob,
but the wine had nauseated him. He
wsa hazy, verbose snd unintelligible at
times. His style and srgument lacked
vigor, consistency snd positiveness. His
friends looked at one another ia despair.
The men on the, other, side were exult
ant It was evident that taw speaker
bad damaged his own causa.
Then Howell Cobb snd Henry R.
Jackson followed each other for the ma
jority report They spoke with an air
of expectant triumph and captured the
convention.
The majority report waa adopted. It
is unnecessary to follow the Idstory of
the next few weeks. The national De
mocracy was completely disrupted and
pat two tickets in the field. Lincoln
wss elected and the country was plung
ed into a civil war. Had Johnson suc
ceeded in inducing the Georgia conven
tion to adopt his conservative ideas, it
is safe to say that other southern states
would have fallen into line with oar
commonwealth, and the naUosaal Demo
cratic parry would have remained
united.
This is the story of what a little glass
of wine did. It ruined a great parry,
caused a disastrous war, and besides the
loss of life cost the south over $4,000,
000,000. Perhaps this is rather speoa
Istive, but there are many who believed
it a generation ago. Atlanta Constitu
