Tn Platte Co. Democrat of July 26

always harmless in its effects, bat we
woald offer a suggestion, which we hope
Col. Daffy will take kindly, and that is
that the next time he refers to this

half to something closer to the' mark.

Ih the rioting 'of Thursday night at
New Orleans, the mobs were composed
alaftost entirely of boys under 21 years
of age acting on a common impulse
against negroes in general. One negro
was beaten to death, six so badly woun
ded that their lives are despaired of, and
about a score of people more or leas
aarioaaly hurt. In a long time such
cruel, heartless and apparently sensoless
murders have not been known even ia
New Orleans. And yet, "all men are
created free and equal and are endowed
with certain inalienable rights, etc."

Everything in any of the worlds -we
are acquainted with is matter of quality,
quantity and degree, and music is no
exceptioa. There is the abundant air to
begin with, and the numberless methods
of coavertiag the raw material into
pleasing melodies, songs, choruses,
marches and what-nots. Of all these
methods, the band of our time, accord
ing to ability of individual members,
with conscientious and thorough leader
ship, is regarded as one of the very best
interpreters to the public, of the master-pieces
of musical composition. There
is individuality of expression, with var
iety and fullness, so that when there ia
wanted the "chime of the evening bells;''
the tramp, tramp, tramp of the soldier
to the battle-field; the clarion tones of
the trumpet to the charge; the all-embracing
anthem of praise and thanks
giving, voicing a nation's warm grati
tude to the Almighty Giver of all good
gifts, the thoroughly-equipped band is
sufficient for the occasion. Neither is it
lacking when there is to be a dash of fun
and frolic.
The services of the Columbus City
Band are likely to be called format the
Grand Island street fair, and theee
words will apply, to them, and we here
wish also to say a good word for the
Hagenow Band to the good friends at
Fremont for their street fair. We per
sonally know several members of that
band, talented musicians, and the ag
gregation of thirty-six makes a first-class
band, occupying the position in this
part of the United States that Sousa's
does for the Union. By the way, we
notice that at the national convention
at Kansas City recently, W. F. Beckett,
formerly of Genoa and a well-known
musician, was with the Hagenow band
in their excellent service on that occa
sion, where their work was highly
praised. Last year at Kansas City
Hagenow's band were at the Modern
Woodmen meeting, and won the first
prize in a contest open to all, and their
work is such' that we feel a lively inter
est in seeing them capture all the large
prizes in this region, and we are very
sure that if Fremont should secure
Hagenow's band they will make no mis
take. A number of Columbus citizens
will doubtless attend the fair if Hage
now is there, and there are doubtless
others. Stand up for Nebraska.

A bulletin from the Nebraska Experi
ment Station at Lincoln says "it seems
reasonable to conclude that no danger
ia to be encountered in pasturing sor
ghum of healthy growth in eastern Ne
braska.'' The records show no cases of
sudden death from sorghum occurring
in the eastern portion of Nebraska, with
the exception of a few on second-growth
sorghum. There is also reason to be
lieve that plants producing this disas
trous effect have not made a healthy
growth, and are yellow and wilted, a
condition easily detected.
T. L. Lyon goes on further to say:
"Again it would appear that no danger
is incurred if the sorghum is fed after
cutting and allowing to lie for some
time. A sample of sorghum was re
cently received by the Station with a
letter accompanying it stating that the
plants were parts of a very few partially
eaten by a cow which was killed by them
in two minutes. The sample was fed to
a cow on the Station farm without in
juring her in the least. This together
with the fact that no poison has been
detected in samples sent to the Station
for analysis would indicate that any
toxic substances which the plants might
have contained have become dissipated
after cutting. The length of time re
quired for this is not known, but it is
certainly accomplished in a few daya
As sorghum is undoubtedly the beet
annual midsummer forage crop for this
region, it is important that its limita
tions be well defined. The use of
healthy sorghum for pasturage with the
ordinary precautions in eastern Ne
braska, and of sorghum hay, may be
considered safe."

Latest advices from. Oregon show
that the Republican pluralities in' this
month's elections In that state were
larger that at first reported. - The Re
publican candidate for governor had a
plurality of more than 10,000, almost
exactly the same as it was In 1898.
For congressmen the combined plural
ity of the two Republican candidates
was about 11.500, or 2,800 more than
the plurality given to the same candi
date In 1808 and fully 10,000 larger
than the straight Republican plurality
on congressmen In 1896. It should be
remembered also that in 189C there
was no fusion of the opposition vote,
Whereas this year all the parties op
posed to the Republicans formed as
complete a fusion as was ever made.
Besides this, Mr. Bryan bad made a
tour of Oregon a few weeks before the
election.
Price off Cattle.
The average price of cattle on the

bead on the farm. The Increase In tne
last three years has been 50 per cent
These figures are froni the reports of

'Speaking to' the National Leagae of
Republican' clubs in session at St. Paul,
Governor Roosevelt gave utterance to
some things which in a large degree
show the true character of the man.
He said: "A politician who isn't hon
est, no matter how able or smart he is,
is a curse -to the community. Don't
let any man delude yon by trying to
convince yon that he can help yon by
being a little dishonest on yoar side.
He will desert you when the crisis
comes.
"I have tret here today a few men
from my old stamping grounds in the
Dakotas and Montana, where I used to
be a delegate to the cattle conventions.
There are a few of my fellow delegates
here tonight. I was then in the cow
business myself: Out there the cow
puncher and the branding iron took the
place of the fence. We used to brand
the calves every year, and if a cab? was
passed over it became a maverick. It
was the rule in those days that a mav
erick when found might be branded
with the brand of the ranch on which
it was found.
"And one day I was riding over the
ranch with a cow puncher and we came
across a maverick. It was on the
Thistle brand ranch. The cow puncher
roped and tied the maverick and we
got off to put a brand on itr. I remem
ber that I took off the cinch iron to help
put on the brand. And I said to the
cow puncher: 'Remember, it is the
Thistle brand.' He grinned and said
he knew his business. But I saw he
was putting on my brand. 'Hold on
there,' I said, 'you are putting on my
brand.' 'I always put on my boss'
brand,' h3 replied. I said to him: 'You
can go to the ranch and get your time.
If you will steal for me, you will steal
from me.'
"And that applies in politics as well
as in the cow business. You have got
to have honesty first, and you have
got to have courage with it. I have
mighty little use for the honest,
timid man, the man who takes
out his honesty in his own
parlor, bnt who can't trust himself with
it out in the world to do his work
among his fellows. He may be very
nice and pleasant, but he is no use.
"But no matter how honest and brave
a man may be, if he is a natural born
fool you can't do anything with him.
He must have the
Savlae Grace of Caamoi Be;
Honesty, courage and common sense are
needed in public life just as they are
needed in private life. And it is be
cause I believe that associations like
this club, associations like this league,
make for the elementary decencies of
political life that I take such pleasure
in addressing you tonight.
"I do not address yon as a Repub
lican addressing Republicans, but as an
American addressing his fellow Ameri
cans, urging them to stand for honesty
and the honor of the flag. We have
come here to begin the work of a cam
paign more vital to American interests
than any that has taken place since the
close of the civil war. We appeal not
only to Republicans, but to all good
citizens that are Americans in fact as
well as in name, to help us in re-electing
President McKinley. It was indeed
of infinite importance to elect him
four years ago. Yet the need is even
greater now. Every reason which then
obtained in his favor obtains now, and
many more have been added. Four
years ago the success of the Populistic
Democracy would have meant fearful
misery, fearful disaster at home; it
would have meant the shame that is
worse even than misery and disaster.
Today it would mean all this, and in
addition the immeasurable disgrace of
abandoning the proud position we have
taken, of flinching from the great work
we have begun.
"We ask support for President Mc
Kinley because of what he has actually
done, of what he now stands for and
typifies, and because of the marvelous
work that has been accomplished under
his administration. We ask the sap
port of all upright citizens because
against him are arrayed
The Fereea ef Chaotic Kvllt
because of the brooding menace to our
moral and industrial welfare which is
implied in the present attitude and pur
pose of the Populistic-Democracy.
"We know definitely what we be
lieve and we say it outright.
"Our opponents, who represent all
the forces of discontent, malice and
envy, formed and formless, vague and
concrete, can-hardly be said to know
what they really do believe, because
the principles they profess, if put forth
nakedly, are so revolting, even to their
own followers, that they liko at least to
try to wrap the mantle of hypocrisy
around them. They rant about trusts,
but they have nothing practical to ad
vance in the way of remedy.
"Nor is this to be wondered at, when
one of the makers of their platform, the
representative from New York, and the
leader of that organization in New
York, are-both themselves among the
most prominent stockholders in the
worst trust to be found today in the
United States the ice trust, which has
justly exposed itself to the criticiam
which our opponents often unjustly ap
ply to every form of industrial effort.
"We now come to the Philippines aad
to the general question of exaaatioa.
Many of the positions taken (by the
Populistic-Democracy at the moment
are so palpably dishonest an4-main
tained in such palpable bad faith that
to state them is sufficient. It is hardly
necessary to discuss what they aay
about "the constitution following the
flag." The Democratic party never
championed the doctrine thus set forth
save in the dark day, whan it aa4 be
come the
HaaaaaaMea ef Slavery
and rebellion, and danced to any tuna
which the apostles of slavery chose to
pipe. When, under Jefferson, the great
West beyond the Mississippi was ac
quired, when, largely through the in
strumentality of Jackson, Florida was
added to the Union, the new provinces,
with their Indian populations, were
govanKd precisely and exactly on the
tlMOsyaneter which the Philippines are
aw governed, rreatdeat Jeff

President McKinley secured the Philip

aaeed of honor which has been held to
he peculiarly theirs, we cannot deny
the sejM high praise to President Mc
Kinley. At Kansas City, the men en
gaged in preaching the gospel of dis
honor and repudiation solemnly assert
ed that imperialism abroad will lead
quickly aad inevitably to despotism at
home.' Yon men of Minnesota and the
Dakotas who are here this evening can
appreciate the fatuousness of that state
ment by the simple process of thinking
whether your liberties have been
abridged by the return of the Minne
sota and Dakota troops who won such
honor for themselves in the Philippines.
There are geometrical propositions so
essentially absurd that mathematicians
hold their mere statement tobe-equiv-alent
to their refutation. So it is with
this proposition. If it were worth
while I would point out its dishonesty
and insincerity. But flagrant though
these are, its absurdity is so much more
flagrant that nothing need be said.
"So it is witlr their cant about mili
tarism and -'intimidation and oppres
sion at home' as following what they
are pleased to call 'conquest abroad.'
We cannot argue with them on this
proposition, because no serious man
thinks for one moment that they be
lieve what they assert. During the great
civil jrar there were many preachers of
the gospel of disloyalty among the so
called copperheads of the, north, and
these meu, like their representatives
among our opponents today, prophesied
the suhdivisiou of the country when the
great armies of Grant and Sherman
should come back from the war; but the
great armies of Grant and Sherman re
turned to civil life and were swallowed
up among their fellow citizens without
a ripple. A considerable army was
kept for a year or two on the Iudian
frontier and in some of the southern
states, but it never entered the head of
a human being to attempt what
The Copperhead Propheta
of disaster had frantically foretold. In
'96 and '90 you yourselves' saw regi
ments and brigades and divisions re
turn from Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, to be disbanded and swal
lowed up ia the mass of the people, if
volunteers, and if regulars to assume
their ordinary work in fort and canton
ment, and after greeting them on the
day they returned the bulk of the peo
ple would never have been able to tell,
except by the newspapers, whether they
had come back or not.
"Of all idle chatter the talk of the
danger of militarism is the idlest. The
army we have now is, relatively to the
population of the country, less in size
than it has been again and again during
the last century and a quarter, in times
when we had only onr own Indians to
guard against. In Washington's admin
istration Gen. Wayne spent some three
years in Ohio warring against the
Tagals of that day, with an army under
him larger in proportion to the then
population of the nation than all our
present national forces, regulars and
volunteers combined, and there is just
as little danger from the evils of mili
tarism now as there was then. It is as
utter folly to talk of our liberties as
menaced by the existence of a force
capable of keeping order in our outly
ing possessions as it would have been to
talk of their being menaced in the
seventies by the soldiers who followed
Ouster and his fellows against Co
manche, Apache and Sioux.
"I would ask those who by their
words have encouraged the warfare of
the Filipinos against us to recall the
letter of General Lawton, written jut
before his death, in which he pointed
out that the blood of his soldiers red
dened the hands of the men at home
who encouraged
Oar Voce Ahread.
"Some years ago when certain east-'
erners were clamoring in the name of
humanity against the army officers who
warred to protect the western settlers
from the Indians, General Sheridan
wrote: 'I do not know how far these
humanitarians should be excused on
account of their ignorance, but surely
it is the only excuse that can give a
shadow of justification for aiding and
abetting such horrid crimes.'
"The scheming politicians at Kansas
City have not even the excuse of ignor
ance when they incite the insurgents
to fresh warfare against our soldiers
with the base hope that thereby they
may further their own political advance
ment." Simkox.
An Ideal Climate.
The first white man to set foot on
Utah soil, Father Sil ventre Velez de
Escalante, . who reached tho GREAT
SALT LAKE on the 23d day of Sept.,
1776, wrote in his diary: "Here the cli
mate is so delicious, the air so balmy,
that it is a pleasure to breathe by day
and by night." The climate of Utah is
r one of the richest endowments of nature.
On the shores of the Great Salt Lake
especially and for fifty miles therefrom
in every direction the climate of cli
mates is found. To enable persons to
participate in these scenic and climatic
attractions and to reach the famous
