Baltimore American. 1. 1. ftwt. Hon. F.N. Front, nominee for attor ney general, is a descendant of the stur dy. Holland Dutch who figured so con spicuously ia the early history of the New England states. He was born in 18M ia New Jersey but came to Illinois with his parents three years later, who located in Stark county. Mr. Front be gan the study of law at an early age and was admitted to practice by the supreme court of Dlinok in 1875 and practiced there six years. In the fall of 1881 he came to 'Nebraska, locating at Blue Springs. After practicing law there seven years he removed to Beat rice in 1899. In 1897 he was appointed city attorney at Beatrioe by Mayor Bourne, which office he filled with signal ability for two years when there was a change in the city administration. In 1896 he was elected to the state senate and during the 26th session was chair man of the committee on revenue and reform schools and other asylums. He served as a member of the Cornell investigating committee of which body he was appointed chairman. While living at Blue Springs Mr. Prout began and brought to a euccessful issue the first case of its kind brought in the state, a ease, the nature of which caused him to be severely ridiculed when it was first begun. When the Burlington railway built ita line south from Beatrice, the company ignored the town of Blue Springe by building through there but failing to open a station there, the Lincoln Land Company organizing the town of Wymore one mile below and here the railroad company placed the station. The suit referred to was one brought to compel the company to open a station at Blue Springs. Judge Amass Cobb, who was on the supreme bench when the case reached that court, said: "This is an entirely new action and we will-expect a full exposition of the law or else you will go down." Members of the bar were included among those who laughed at the man who had the temer ity to begin such a suit, but notwith standing the almost universal sentiment against him, the case was fought out and won for the town people. The subject of this sketch is popular among the members of bis profession as he is among the town's people where his ability, integrity and high character are known and appreciated. As an attor ney and exponent of the 'law he ranks with the best talent in the state and his loyalty to party and principles is above reproach. ' WILLLiM HAURKAIW. A ihsrt Aeestmt the lefthlkan fiaaiiaate far ItureiaatatiTc f District 25. American sympathy and love are al waya with those who win success in the face of adversity. It therefore gives us pleasure to present a brief sketch of the life of Hon. Wm. Hauptmann, candidate on the republican ticket for representa tive from the 25th district Born of German parents in New York City on July 3d, 1871, Mr. Hauptmann ia now 29 years old. He was brought face to face with the hard facte of life, when in 1882 his father who had just failed in business died. At that time I he waa 11 years old, small for his aire. hut full of pluck. He showed the kind of stuff that was in him when he stood with his invalid mother against a divis ion of the family insisting that he could take care of the younger children with out outside assistance. While attend ing school he sold papers each morning and evening and in 1884 had one of the largest paper routes in New York. After graduating from the public schools he entered mercantile pursuits for a time but later began work at a cabinet maker'a bench. Having deter mined to secure aa education be attend ed night school after his day's work waa over at the expense of his health and eyesight. Although advised that it BMaat blindness he persevered and at the aad of six yean graduated. In 1894 he entered Oberlia college where he fin ished his education. Mr. Hauptmann in intensely patriotic aad when the war with Spain broke out he left hie studies aad returned to New York to enlist in the U.S. navy as a He passed easily aa ordinary but waa rejeoted on account of his eyesight. This he would not accept aa final and for two days went from one recruiting station to another until finally he secured enliatssent in Company E of the Twenty-second N. Y. as a private and served until the close of the war, re ceiving aa honorable discharge. 8oon after his discharge from the army Mr. Hauptmann came to Nebras ka, settling in Monroe aa pastor of the Ubngregalmnsl caureh but is now loca ted at Genoa as pastor of the Congrega tional canren tnere. rnuertoa Mews.

Republicans everywhere are recogniz ing the fact that never in the history of the country from its foundation have we had a president, save one, who has had .more difficult and more vital problems to solve. The Jodkkal sincerely believes we have never had a president more devo ted to the good of the country at large, and who evidenced a better grasp of the vital principles upon which our govern ment by the people is founded. Steadily from the first right along all through the outrageous opposition that has beset his path, the president hits held to bis oourse as the chief executive of a great, self-respecting nation of peo ple devoted to the best interests of human kind. Extraordinary conditions; circum stances which could by no means have been foreseen, have tested the' presi dent's ability to keep the great ship of state in her just course through all the sea of .trouble through which she has come during the years of this adminis tration. So far, we have had, save Lincoln's, no more illustrious administration in our history. As for the business of the country, it has had no equal. Very few sensible people but are satisfied, pleased, delight ed with the situation, and the prospect. Thk Joubnaii believes that the voters of the country have determined in their own minds that William McKinley makes a wonderfully safe' president and should be re elected for the country's good. Harry 1. land. . The republican candidate for repre sentative of Platte county in the state legislature, was born in Manchester, New Hampshire, in 18C2, and is there fore 38 years of sge. At the age-of 4, he went to Mansfield, Ohio, living for nine years on the farm of ex-Senator John Sherman. In 1876 he came to Nebraska, and has resided north of the city ever since, hav ing been occupied as a farmer. March 18..188B, he married Miss Elizabeth Erb, and they have two chil dren, Elizabeth May and Catherine Eliza. Mr. Reed has been for some time and is now the secretary and manager of the Bismark Creamery company. Such is, in brief, a mere outline of a life crowded thick with varied exper ience. Mr. Reed has the old-fashioned qual ities of integrity, earnestness, and faith fulness to duty, and if elected to the im portant office for which he has been named, he will .doubtless do honor to himself and the county while represent ing their interests at the capital of the state. Every candid thinking, intelligent man in the United States believes the Wilson bill had much to do with the industrial paralysis that followed its en actment by the congress of which W. J. Bryan was a member. It was not as extreme as Mr. Bryan desired as can be easily gathered from a speech delivered in the bouse of representatives in which he used the following language: I think the duties all the way through this bill are higher than necessary, and I favor the bill, not because of its perfection, not because the duties are brought down as low ss they might be, but because the bill is infinitely better than the law which we now have, and is a step in the right direction. Wayne Republican. Tax selection of Mr. Hauptmann by the convention waa a case of the office seeking the man as the nominee has no string of political strikers to pull the wires for him. In making this nomina tion the republicans present to the voters of the district a clean, capable and honest man; one who by education and training is able to represent well the varied interests of the people. The nominee is a young man of energy nnd push and ia entitled to the hearty sup port of every voter in the district inter ested in pure politics and good govern ment.

T. Eamr. .NhkAjuxt. iff 1HL Poyntex's Term WUlClosc With a Deficiency of at Least $100,000. facts aid figures .Taken Froni the Osntial iecords Which Will Ad mit of No Dispute. ' ' Wealth Ml the Tmxmu Omaha, Aug. 27. It Is a low esti mate to say that at the dose of the fiscal year the state of Nebraska will be facing a deficit In the funds for the maintenance of the various state in stitutions of not less than $100,000. If anything,, the amount will be larger. Neither is this mere conjecture. Al ready the records in the auditor's of fice at Lincoln reveal a large short age, and, assuming that there will be no increase in the rate of expenditures, the deduction leads up to these figures. At best the shortage cannot fall below the $100,000 mark. This is certainly .a bad showing for the Poynter administration, consider ing the fart that the last legislature appropriated for general purposes more than $2,000,000. More than $500,000 was appropriated for salaries and wages alone and, yet,' generally speaking, there will be a large 'shortage in these funds. The records' in the auditor's office at this very time, with six months' ex penses unprovided for, -show a short age in the funds appropriated for the Normal Scnool at - Peru, the Institute for the Blind at Nebraska City, the Fish Hatchery at South Bend, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at Mil ford, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at Grand Island, the Institute for Fee ble Minded Youth at Ber.trice. tho Asylum for the Insane at Norfolk, the Industrial School at Kearney, the Asy lum for the Insane at Lincoln lu short, they show a shortage in the funds of every state Institution. These facts are taken from the offi cial records and they cannot be suc cessfully refuted. The 'records also show an utter disregard for law iu the matter of diverting funds. While the law contemplates that specific ap propriations shall be used only to meet obligations against such funds, the practice hi general is to use ' many specific funds as general funds. The custom is, where a fund is exhausted, to draw on some other fund specific ally appropriated for other purposes, an act clearly in violation of law. That the present fusion administra tion has been an expensive luxury to the people of Nebraska can no longer be denied. It is a fact, which the of ficial figures will substantiate, that at the end of Governor Poynter's present term the state of Nebraska will have paid out more money and Incurred more indebtedness -In the way of def icits and unpaid bills for the main tenance of the public institutions than for any other two years since the state was admitted to the Union. Neither is there any excuse for this large deficiency. The last legislature was liberal In its appropriations, and, while it did not appropriate the large amount demanded bythe beads of the various state Institutions, for the sim ple reason that it would have imposed a hardship on tax payers, it appropri ated an amount which, had the insti tutions been honestly and econom ically managed, would have been abundantly sufficient. Ifcllaetoaa Prophecy. Back In the olden times, when the people were less tolerant and the lamp of reason and Intelligence shone less brightly than today, false prophets were frequently exiled andt false prophecies were put under a ban. Not so today. The spectacle of to day is that of a false prophet running for president on the Democratic ticket with his false prophecies recast Into a platform of principles. Of all the prophets, Bryan has been the most prolific and at the same time has made more and greater mistakes. In the campaign of 1806 be said that a Republican victory would bring untold distress and suffering. Is there one man hi Nebraska who be lieves it today? On the contrary, isn't it the universal belief, and Is It" hot an established fact, that the country is more prosperous In general than for many years? Bryan said Republican victory meant Industrial slavery. Where is it? Bryan said Republican victory meant low prices for farm products. Has that come true Is there a farmer in Nebraska today who believes it? Bryan said a gold standard would impoverish the masses and decrease the purchasing capacity of labor and farm products. Has this come true? Is there a farmer who will say that he is getting less for' his cattle, hogs, corn, wheat, oats, butter, wool, or any other product of the farm, than he re ceived four years ago? Is there a la borer who will say that he Is getting less pay for his work than he received four years ago? Bryan's philosophy waa'fatfacious then and it is just as fallacious! now. There is no more logic or truth in his philosophy of today than there was four years ago: It was without foun dation in fact then and It Is without foundation in fact now. It was in tended -to frighten the people then and ft is intended to frighten the people now. Everybody admits that be ' was wrong in 1890, not In one prophecy, not in one instance, but in alL What right, what excuse has any- one to of fer for pretending to believe hi his vagaries today? Bryan has himself deserted his philosophy of 1880. He has taken another tack, not of fcis own volition, but his philosophy of 1896 has been shattered by the logic of events and there Is nothing left of them but the reverberating echoes of the calamity forebodings of the "boy erator," so he has been forced to seek shelter behind a new orthodoxy. He has taken cover behind "militarism" and "imperialism," something new to the voters and something therefore with which they may be more easily duped. If elected, his peculiar brand of "militarism" when analysed would be found to be that hydra-headed monster, free trade; and his "Impe rialism," free silver. Bryan and his party may rant about "militarism" and "Imperialism," but behind It all and the hidden motive, is to get Into position to promote the came, of free trade and free silver. No eae knows better than Bryan that hj free trade and free silver sophistr caste with the people. No one knows better than he that It would be pelttt cal suicide to attempt to conduct a campaign hi defense of these 'princi ples. Free silver and free trade are dead. Republican prosperity has die credited them in the. minds of the peo ple aad has stamped them out forever. Mr. Bryan still adheres to them, bat, with all his boasted fortitude, he dare not attempt openly to impress pen the minds of the .electors. The American' Agriculturist will hardly be accused of being a partisan publication. It Is one of the oldest, as well as most substantial of the period icals devoted to the interests of the farmers, and whatever appears in ita columns la wotny of credence and consideration. In the issue of this magazine for March 17, 1900. an arti cle appeared which gives very clearly the condition of the faroaer today aa compared with his condition during the years of Democratic suprem acy ln the TOs. These figures were In most part derived from sources which the Agriculturist vouches for aa accu rate. The editor indulged In a little In dependent investigation along these lines and from answers from a list of many hundred correspondents, ha whom he placed great faith, he de rived the figures which he gives hi the article from which we condense the following: The advance in farm values la the United States in the year 1900 aa com pared with the years of Democratic depression, 1894-90, la shown by the following figures: Gain In value Uve stock.. .$008,000,000 Gain In value staple crops. 401,000.000 Gain In value live stock products 370.000.000 Gain in value other prod ucts 200.000.000 Total gain .$1,680,000,000 Gain in real estate . ... .'$2,550,000,000 Total advance. $4,219,000,000 The above figures show that the pro duce of farms of the United States In the year 1890 realized to the farmers $1,600,000,000 more than In any of the years 1804-06. The farm values for 18t0 are given as follows: Land, buildings, etc $14,500,000,000 Live stock 2,558.000.000 Improvements and ma chinery 500.000.000 Total $17,558,000,000 The total of these Items In the Dem cratic year 1895 was $14,280,000,000 and the highest previous figure reached was in 1889, when the total was $15,984,000,000. The prices received by the farmers per bead for live stock In. 1900 com pared with the 'lowest point since 1892,' which was during the years of Democratic depression, la shown In the following table: Low Point 1900 Horses $33.65 $45.60 Mules 39.66 48.67 Cows 21.40 31.12 Cattle 14.15 24.83 Sheep 1.60 2.07 Hogs 4.13 4.90 The editor of the Agriculturist turns from these figures, showing the pros perous condition of the farmers, to an other line of argument, which Is also a very telling one. He takes up the question of farm mortgages and he finds that ten years ago the farms of the United States were encumbered to the amount of $1,086,000,000. This year this large amount has been re duced to $800,000,000. In 1890 the av erage size of each mortgage waa $1,224. In 1900 the average size was $1,000. In 1890, 74 per cent of these mortgages were for purchase price and improvements, the rate of interest was 0.3 per cent and the percentage of value of the farms mortgaged was 36. This year 78 per cent of the mort gages are for purchase price and Im provements, the rate has declined to 6 flat and only 27 per cent of the value of the farms of the United States are covered by mortgage. These figures are undoubtedly aa nearly correct as it is possible to obtain. They were gathered, as stated above, by a period ical which is non-partisan-and the re sults given were not shaded in favor of either party. That they Indicate, however, a large gain In all that goes to make for' the prosperity of the farmer is a fact, and one which should call the attention of the people bene fited to their duty to vote the Repub lican ticket Simeon. VOTE FOR M'KINLEY. REPUBLICAN PARTY SHOULD BE CON TINUED IN CONTROL. What Fratectlra Has Dae Far the Amerleaa WorklBaraa -Praeta f Cheap Ferelaa Lafcsr Bxela. Wain aa Prteea CaaalSerea'. The Republican party has good cause to ask the voters of the country to con tinue It in control of the government and to re-elect President McKinley. The results which have followed the application of Republican principles to the administration of the United States have not been accidentaL Aside from the conditions arising from the war with Spain, no one will dispute that the nation's affairs are far better than they were under the Democratic administration which preceded the election of McKinley. All financial and commercial conditions have improved. The riots incident to the strikes during the Cleveland administration were the acts not of strikers, but of starving and unemployed men. Within two years after President McKinley was inaugurated all of the Idle of 1896 were at work, so much so that In the strikes of 1900 it is not pos sible for employers of labor to fill the places of men going out on strikes. Never before have strikers had so many victories over employers, and never before have employers been so able to meet the demands of the strik ers. In every line of employment of labor there has been an advance In wages more than equal to the advance In the cost of living products. It Is now seen that production has run beyond the limits of demand In many lines, and this will adjust Itself by lower prices In 1901 than In 1900. The adjustment has been going on for three months, and now prices In all lines of Iron materials are lower than In 1809. One year ago the trusts and large manufacturers advanced prices, and when they got beyond reasonable limits the consumption ceased and val ues bad to faU. Manufacturers have thus learned that they cannot maintain unreasonable prices by stopping pro duction. They have also learned that they can run their plants to full capac ity If the prices of their commodities are reasonable.

In some respects it waa a decided im provement upon the old law, providing safeguards to the traffic that all men who reason at all upon the. subject rec ognize, and have recognized as whole some provisions of law, in the interest of the public welfare. In one very important particular, it was a great, a far-reaching measure, doing away, almost at one sweep, with all the low, ill-kept, illegal places for the sale of liquor, that the people them selves chose to close, having not only violated the law, but defied the law. The crossroads doggery of the olden time is almost a thing of the past, and the present law which has now been in existence eighteen years, ia to be credit ed with a good deal of valuable work, along the line of bettering conditions.
