The outbreak of yellow fever at Ha vana is reported as serious. The most terrible flood in the history of the Colorado river was threatening Texas towns Monday. It is reported that Louis Figg, the founder of a religious sect, has bought 169 acres of land on Bellevue island, sear Omaha, where he purposes estab lishing his people, to enjoy their relig ious freedom. George L. Miller, well-known pio neer editor of the Omaha Herald, is re ported as laboring under a mental cload, and has been taken to a sanitar - iun in Council Bluffs. His friends are hopeful of his recovery. Let the daylight of publicity shine upon every doubtful transaction that .concerns the public welfare, and trusts (so-called combinations of business in violation of law and public policy) will be disarmed very quickly. W. H. Tnosirsox of Grand Island, a would-be United States senator of Ne braska, spoke in Silver Creek recently. He seems to be a favorite with the op . position, and he is probably one of the ' very best of their candidates for that position. ' Mobbibtown, Minn., was struck by a tornado Monday evening; a barn W8s raised in the air and dropped directly on top of a saloon, where sixteen people had taken refuge from the storm. All 'occupants were buried in the debris. Eight were killed. The storm made , jumps of a block, but when it came down everything was crumbled.

Udoo the voters of this country now rests, as it always has, the responsibility of good government; for with them is the sovereignty, and they choose (not their rulers) bnt their public servants, who simply execute the people's will as expressed in the constitutional direc tions, or general principles laid down by the people for the guidance of their public servants; and also by statutory laws framed by representatives of the people from time to time under the pressure of public opinion, which, when enlightened by worthy motives and wise councils, is, under Providence, the safe guard of our republican government, and our free institutions, which have meant so much to us that, although onr constitutional government has not been in existence a century and a quarter, our national life, in every line of human endeavor for progress, is regarded ev erywhere among civilized people, as a grand record in the annals of the earth. And so it is, so it is. But, it has not been perfect. It was Guizot who said that nations are com pelled to do right by necessity, and his tory -seems to justify the dictum. In other words, great bodies of men do what they must do, at the time, rather than, "seeing the evil beforehand, pro vide against it," which, of course is the better, more scientific and reasonable way, because "it costs more to do ill than to do well." The compromises of the constitution (as ordained by the fathers) were not only subjects of discussion by their suc cessors, but upon these came the full consequences, in treasure and life, as we saw in the civil war. It important whom we eleot. It is important whether we abide in the right, or wander off into the wilderness of wrong doing. We have in mind all the administra tions of this government from Lincoln down under republican presidents and policies, including that of our present excellent chief -executive. While all have been good, and good for the coun try, none have been better than Presi dent McKinley's; the country, in gen eral, has never before been so prosperous in every good way; we have had a thoughtful, conscientious, careful, con servative man of principle at the head of affairs, and it will be a stroke of good policy on the part of the sovereign citi zen voters of the United States to con tinue him in office. GEOBOE W. MABSH, the candidate for secretary of state, comes from sturdy Pennsylvania Dutch stock and was born in 1852. He came with his parents to Nebraska more than forty years ago. In 1861, his father and older brother having enlisted in the Union army, it devolved on him to help support his mother and smaller chil dren, and be worked on a farm during the summer season and attended school in the winter. In this way be became a teacher and he followed farming and teaching until 1884, when he sold oat and engaged in the drag business. He was treaaarer and clerk of Richardson county for eight years, filling the respec tive positions with credit and satisfac tion, In 1886, he was elected mayor of Palls City.

The republican candidate for county attorney is recognized as one of the best informed attorneys in this part of the state, and even his political opponents believe that he would make an excellent legal adviser for Platte county. He has had many years experience in his profession, and 6tands well with the legal fraternity generally, as well as the people of his acquaintance. Every once in a whilo something oc curs that requires more than the ordin ary legal talent, and it has been custom ary for more counties than one in Neb raska at such times to employ extra help to assist tho county attorney. Of course this has been an added ex pense, and the best way to do is to elect a first-class attorney to begin with. Mr. McAllister will make an attorney of whom you need not be ashamed. CHARLES WESTOC. The nominee for state auditor, was born in New York City in 1854. His early life was spent on the farm. When a young man he removed to Chicago, at tending the public schools of that city and graduating from the State Univer sity of Illinois in 1878. For two years he taught public school and then assum ed the study of law in the office of Wm. H. King, at that time president of the board of education of Chicago. He was admitted to practice, passing an exami nation with honors in a class of forty-five. Coming to Nebraska in 1886, he has since resided here. He is at present engaged chiefly in the livestock business in Sher idan county. .WILLIAM STCKFEB. The nominee for state treasurer, was born at Watertown in 1847. He remov ed to Nebraska in 1863 locating on a homestead near the present site of West Point He pursued the avocation of farmer until 1873 when he moved to West Point and embarked in business. He served as deputy oounty clerk, was elected state senator from bis district and served in the legislature 1895, in each position displaying strict honesty and integrity and a thorough knowledge of business affairs. Mr. Stuefer, who is of German parentage, is one of the lead ing citizens of West Point, being presi dent of the West Point National Bank and vice president of the West Point Creamery. He ia noted for his keen business judgment and splendid citi zenship. Oilirem Smemli Vet Italy at Heae. Notify your child's teacher that no more study will be permitted is yoar home.

Baker of Memphis, Tenn., was a confeder ate soldier daring the civil war. In a recent letter, in which he sets forth his reasons why he cannot support Bryan, he states the proposition as it Is fair ly and squarely. He charges that the aoatbern states would never have se ceded from the Union bad it mot been for the encouragement they received from the copperhead Democrats of the north, and, on this hypothesis, he con cludes that Agulnaldo find his follow ers would never have taken up arms against the United States, aad would not be in arms now, were It not for' the encouragement they have re ceived from Bryan and other Demo crats. In the letter he says: "I do aot believe that the southern Bor der states woald have seceded from the Union la 1861 bat for the aid aad comfort glTea thea by the copperheads of the aorth. When one distinguished orator d elared that the Union army woald have to march orer the dead bodies of 40.000 Indi ana Democrats before they reached the soath, the magnilceut ntterance electrised Teaaessee with hope. "Thoasaads of men hesitated aeon the Brink of the awfal abyss. They loved the Union aad hated the abollUontotsc The Union was a theory' entwined with oeaa tifal and patriotic sentiments: Slavery was a 'condition' la which was Invested the hard earaiaes of a lifetime. At the sh preme crista came the promises of northern Democrats that they wonld not let as be hart: their bitter denudations of the Ite pahllcan party. The soath made the leap. "Daring the war we saw Indiana regi ments and brigades march through the state of Kentucky. tTrsmp.' 'Tramp,' Tramp', they passed through Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina. We never did learn bow the poor fellows got over those 40.000 dead bodies of their Democratic friends and neighbors. We were fully per suaded they killed and made a corduroy road of them, because the anti-Imperial-itst of Indiana said they would. "Oar aext. hope after we got mixed up to gether waa that England and France would help as for commercial reasons. ValUn dlgham, Stevenson and a thousand other copperheads like the good brethren who held up Joshua's arms, held ours up by encour aging us to hold out a little longer, by de nouncing the war a 'failure and keeping as posted as to e movements of our en emies. "This Is all ancient history, but I, aa old confederate, can see very readily how the anti-Imperialist league can materially aid Agalnaldo aad his crowd. Every old soldier, aorth aad south, understands the force of moral support. Our war would aot have lasted three months but for north ern Democratic encouragement, and I be lieve Agalnaldo would have been as peace ful a cltlxen as Gomes but for the encour agement he has received from the senti mental traitors of the antl-lmperlal league." IMPORTANCE OF VOTING. It Is highly important that every Republican and every one who be lieves In continuing prosperity, in maintaining good government, should go to the polls and vote on election day. This Is all that is required to place Nebraska in that position where all the world will know that she has shaken off Populism and has taken a position in the ranks of Republican states. The danger is that the farmers and laborers, who constitute a large per cent of Nebraska's total vote, will be so busily engaged with their work and In such peace of mind that they will forget or neglect to do their duty on election day. Bnt, one thing Is cer tain, and that is, that the farmer who is getting good prices for his stock and crops and the laborer who Is getting good wages and plenty of work, can not expect this to continue unless they go to the polls in November and vote for the candidates of the party that has made these blessings possible. You cannot go to the polls and vote the Bepublican party out of power and then expect good times to continue. The Democratic party brought on the hard times. Free trade and determin ation to contaminate the standard cur rency of the nation frightened capital, drove money into exile, silenced enter prise, demoralized International com merce and finally precipitated wide spread suffering and distress. To vote the Democratic party back into power woald be to bring back hard times. This Is just as certain as it Is that night follows day. The farmer must sow In order to reap, and the laborer must toil in order to earn money. Neither can do otherwise and expect satisfactory results. So, too, they must both vote with that party that gives them prosperity In order for them to have prosperity. They cannot vote wrong and expect things to be right. They cannot vote for hard times and expect prosperity. The primary object Is to vote and vote right. Simply because you are satisfied with conditions is -no reason why yon should remain away from the polls. You should go there and vote, that this grand era of unex ampled prosperity may be continuous. It Is highly Important that the Re publicans shall control the next legis lature. Two United States senators are to be elected and other matters of almost equal moment will come be fore that body. Should Nebraska join the Republican column of states it would mean mack for her. It would attract capital for Investment and woald, even at the present low rate of interest, enable her people to borrow money cheaper, because throwing off Populism would be a guaranty that Nebraska Is not a state that believes in repudiation. No one suffers more from fear of repudia tion, bed collection laws and conse juent poor credit than the borrower. The one who loans may loan or not, aa he pleases. The borrower ia fre quently so situated that he most bor row or suffer the loss of the savings of a lifetime. Confidence In the hon esty and Integrity of the borrower makes it possible for the latter to se cure loans and this, coupled with equi table collection laws, enables him to borrow at a low rate of interest. It will be observed, therefore, that laws that are Intended to restrain proper and equitable adjustment of accounts between the debtor and creditor, while they may cause the creditor some an noyance, are infinitely more injurious to the debtor, for they not only limit his credit but they require him to pay higher Interest rates on every dollar he borrows. Popullstlc tendencies ia this direction have In the past coat tho state of Nebraska millions of dollars. . CONTINUES TO PILE UP. ' Evidence of Republican prosperity coBtinaes to pile up.

Statistics show that under the Mc Kinley law more than $41,000,000 were paid out In wages every Satur day afternoon to the laboring people ef the United States. Under the opera tions of the Wilson law, a Deasecratic measure, the total amount thus paid out feU to leas than $10,000,000 per week, or a shrinkage of $22,000,000 per week; Under the McKinley law snore than $2,000,000 were Invested in new 'busi ness enterprises, furnishing employ ment to 122,000 laborers. Under the Wilson law more than $300,000,000 were withdrawn from use hi commer cial and manufacturing Industries and nearly 280,000 men were thrown out of employment Under the-Wilson law the balance of trade against the United States In the 15 months the law was In operation amounted to the sum of more than $70,000,000. Under the present Repub lican tariff law (the Dlngley law) the balance of trade In favor of the United States for the hist fiscal year amounts to the enormous sum of $544,000,000. The estimated increase In the value of live stock, comparing the market prices of today with four years ago. Is more than $000,000,000, and the esti mated increase in the value of farm land and in the market price of farm cereals, on a similar comparison, hi $550,000,000. making the total profit or gain to the farmers of the United States foe the last four years more than $1,150,000,000. The Increase in bank deposits In so called farming states, states like Ne braska, Is more than 50 per cent while Interest charges in the same state have been reduced fully 40 per cent Governor Poynter and the fusion newspapers, as well as all the fusion leaders, are painfully silent on the re port that at the end of Poynter's term there will be a deficit or shortage in the public funds of no less than $100, 000. Their answer to this is abuse of Re publicans, but abusing Republicans will hardly satisfy tho taxpayers, who will have to pay the bill. The fusionists have boasted of the saving they have made in managing the state institutions. 'Four years ago they pointed to the amount asked and appropriated by the legislature. Two years ago they came to the legislature with a demand for more money than had ever before lieen required, and with a large deficiency and any number of unpaid claims. The legislature two years ago, not only made a large de ficiency appropriation, but appro priated more than $2,000,000 for the two years ending in 1001. All this has been squandered and it will require $100,000 more to pay unpaid bills and labor claims. The shortage In the penitentiary fund alone will amount to at least $25,000. There 'are at least 11 institutions that will come in with shortages ranging all the way from $3,000 to $10,000, and In some cases it will be even larger. This nmouiit added to the amount appropriated will run the expense in maintaining these Institutions to n higher figure than ever before in the history of the state. If Poynter's ad ministration has been a success In any thing it is in increasing the hardships of the taxpayers. From the governor down there is not a department of the state government that has not increased the expense from what It was under Republican rule! What makes bad matters worse Is that the state is not receiving a dol lar in interest on the $200,000 school fund. This alone represents a loss of over $4,000 a year to the state. It is a fact, proven by the official records, that the Poynter administra tion, say nothing of its depravity and general weakness, has cost the state more money than any other since the state's existence.

Now Mr. Bryan Is beginning to howl from a thousand stumps that Imperial Ism will rain the country? It Is fair to assume that his later prophecies are worth just as much as his earlier ones and that expansion will be the source of new prosperity and power. Such It has been to the United States for nearly a hundred years. New York Sum.
