Mr. Hayw&rds Successor.
Tuesday morning of last week Senator
Hayward of Nebraska City passed into
the spirit world, after making a brave
struggle for existence, a third stroke of
paralysis bringing the close peacefully.
Governor Poynter has the appointing
of his successor, and while there are not
likely to be any surprises, we imagine
that Mr. Poynter has a mind of his own
in this matter. He has had just enough
experience with politicians to be quite
shy of them and of their advice he
might as well take the responsibility, he
will get the blame anyhow. It is just a
possibility that the governor may lay
aside all ordinary considerations and
appoint a conservative republican to fill
out the senator's term. This would be a
deed long remembered by the people of
the state of Nebraska as something out
of the ordinary, and would show that we
had in the governor's chair, n man who
had a sense of the eternal fitness of
things. Indeed, one of the ablest parti
san journals of the state, edited by Mr.
Baird of Cedar Rapids, advised this
course, and it commends itself for several
reasons. It would place the senator in
the political party where the people
placed him among the republicans,
keeping the sovereignty with the people.
Judge Allen, finding his hope of enter
ing the senate blocked, took up another
line of work went back to being a dis
trict judge, and is now serving out a
term as such. He is provided for, why
not consider that there are other gentle
men who have claims upon consideration.
It is pretty nearly time (if a republican
is not to be considered in the succession)
that a democrat be mentioned. There is
Mr. Thompson of Grand Island and also
Mr. G. M. Hitchcock of Omaha, who has
done more than any other one democrat
to hold the party together, and keep it
going as a conglomerated party of fusion
forces to correl the offices.
Whenever Mr. Bryan makes a state
ment it is a cunning attempt to deceive,
or create a false impression. This is
also unfortunately true of almost every
fusion speaker and many of their papers.
Nothing is fairly stated, everything is
distorted and everybody misquoted.
Still there are men who claim to have
been led away from the republican party
by them. While we respect the man who
openly avows his eternal opposition to
the republican party and says he will
ngnt it on eTery occasion and every
issue, we confess a feeling of pity at least,
if not contempt, for the weakling who
admits he has been fooled by the cheap
John sophistry and misrepresentation of
men who shift their position and argu
ments two or three times a year, and
whose foundations are on wheels. If
you want to be dodging and shifting
along with the thimble-rig, three-in-one,
office seeking outfit, who are pops in Ne
braska, free silver in Colorado, democrats
in Kentucky, Tammanyites in New York
and artful dodgers everywhere, stay with
them and keep your eyes peeled to watch
the leaders and not get lost by the way,
but for heaven's sake do not claim to
believe what they say nor to be influ
enced by it. Do not claim to worship
Lincoln and despise McKinley. Do not
claim to believe that free trade was the
only salvation for the country in 92, free
silver in 96 and Tagal success in '99. If
you believe in confusion, and anarchy,
treachery and folly in government, be a
f umonist, a popocrat or anything to beat
the republican party, but never let your
selves down by claiming to believe their
bugaboo, emergency "issue," that they
pick up for the occasion and drop uncer
emoniously as soon as election is over.

Session.
Chairman Tefftof the republican state
central committee contributed to Gov
ernor Poynter's woes by presenting in
person the following:
"Governor W. A. Poynter, Lincoln,
Neb., Dear Sir: In the death of Senator
Hayward, the state has suffered a loss
which can scarcely be expressed in words.
A man of grand character, he had en
deared himself to the people by his ster
ling integrity and devotion to principle.
The people have lost their chosen repre
sentative just when in the ordinary
conrse of affairs he would have been
entering upon the discharge of his duties.
"Probably at no election for United
States senator in this state was the
choice of the people so faithfully res
ponded to by the legislature as by his
election as senator.
"The i6sue before the people in the
election of the legislature was distinct
and well defined, and resulted in the
deliberate choice of a republican major
ity in the legislature, the electors fully
understanding that it meant the repre
sentation of this state in the United
States senate by a republican for six
years. I believe, governor, that you
fully assent to the proposition that when
the electors of the state have deliberately
passed upon a question, that their wish
should be respected, and that there can
be no plainer duty for a public officer
than, so far as lies in his power, to seo
that their expressed wish should receive
full fruition.
"Speaking for the republican organiza
tion of the state, I ask yon, in view of
the foregoing facts, to appoint some
reputable republican to fill the office
which death has made vacant, or call the
legislature together for the purpose of
filling the vacancy.
"By this action, governor, you would
establish yourself as a broad, fair-minded
man, with a high conception of duty, a
man whoconld rise above mere partisan
ship and act along the higher lines of
statesmanship and fidelity to the inter
ests of the whole people.
"I have the honor to be, governor,
yours very respectfully,
"Orlando Tefft, Chairman."
A few figures on wool show the differ
ence between republican and democratic
industrial policies. Under the McKinley
tariff the American wool clip increased
from 307,000,000 pounds in 1891 to 348,
000,000 in 189a Then the Wilson law
came in and by 1897 there was a decline
to 259,000,000. The Dingley law turned
the tide again. The wool clip last year
increased 2.6 per cent, and the number
of sheep by 2,121,000. In addition to
this the demand for goods is so great
that most of the woolen mills have con
sumed their accumulations. Natrona
(Wyoming) Tribune.
Ernest Bauer, an extensive poultry
raiser of Coffeyville, KaiL, having read
in an agricultural journal that boracic
acid would preserve chicken meat al
most indefinitely, assumed that the
chemical should be mixed with the feed
of the fowls and given to them to eat.
He tried the experiment, with the result
that 762 of his 800 chickens died within
twenty-four hours. He sued the editor
of the paper, but the court held that
any man of ordinary intelligence should
have known better than to try to pre
serve the flesh of living fowls by means
of chemicals.
In New Zealand a man who drinks too
much for his own good may be sum
moned before any justice of the peace on
complaint of any member of his family
or any other person interested. Wit
nesses are then heard and if it can be
proven that the man misspends, wattes
and lessens his estate greatly injures his
health, endangers and interrupts the
peace and happiness of his family, the
magistrate will issue a written order to
all liquor dealers within his jurisdiction
forbidding them to furnish him with any
intoxicating liquors for a period of
twelve months. Severe penalties are
provided for those who violate such an
injunction, as well as for persons who
may obtain for or give to the convicted
drunkard any intoxicating drink.
Charles Harris, editor of the Belden
News, shot and instantly killed H. C.
Blinlriron Sunday night. The shooting
occurred in the News office with no one
present but Harris and Blinlriron. The
trouble arose over an article which ap
peared in the News criticising Blinlriron
for a transaction he had had with the
Belden bank a few days before. Harris
gave himself up, claiming he shot in
self-defense. The Belden News was for
merly owned by L. G. Patterson, who is
stopping in this city.
