President McKinley at Decatur, Ala.
A good deal of corn, for some reason
or other, is missing grade at Chicago,
one day only 9 cars out of 179 passing as
contract. The Inter Ocean says: "A
large sample of 800,000 bushels of corn
held at an outside point was passed
around among elevator men and receiv
ers yesterday. The majority declared it
to be good No. 2 corn, but Supervising
Inspector Smilie said it was too soft, and
would grade No. 3. George H. Phillips
says the inspection department is right
in its grading of corn, as that failing to
pass contains too much moisture." The
JoitrnaIi believes that the best policy
for Nebraska farmers is, as much as is
possible for them to do, raise corn to be
fed on the farm. So soon as all get fore
handed, this will doubtless be done, and
only such products be sent to market as
embody the greatest values in the light
est weights, and yet preserving, and
increasing year by year, the fertility of
the soil. One fact will illustrate a gen
eral principle. We had a year when
corn was worth $5 a wagon load, and
bacon $250 a wagon load. A farmer
twelve miles from Columbus could make
the trip with one load and return home
in one day, but the $250 worth of raw
corn took fifty days to deliver. Do your
own grading, as much as possible, at
your own home, and in your own way.
The more thoughtful of Judge Baker's
friends were pained to read his remarks
upon the jury in the Callahan case. A
sudden outburst of wrath on the part of
the good judge, should, perhaps, not be
taken too much to heart by the jnry, but
many men liable to do jury duty are
asking themselves What are the duties
and the rights of jurors in the trial of a
case? Are they to be the mere echoes of
the court? Are they to take the judge's
charge as the law in the case, and put
their own estimate of the facts as pre
sented to them in the evidence, or are
they to sit in the box, look and listen,
and give their verdict by simply sum
marizing, as mind readers, what the pre
siding judge may think? Suppose one
of the jurors had resented the remarks
of the judge, would he have been in con
tempt of court and justly liable to fine?
General Charles Dick, of Akron,
Ohio, chairman of the Republican State
Executive committee, recently made a
speech, and has published an interview,
in which he favors government owner
ship of telegraph and telephones, as part
of the postal system of the United States.
He says the people are proud of their
postal system, and would never consent
to have it managed by a private corpo
ration, and that now they need the tele
graph and telephone, and that they
could and should be made as free to
them as the mails. Congressman Dick's
statement is a strong one, and will set
the people to asking the question, why
not? Cadiz (O.) Republican.
The government has closed a contract
for 100,000 pounds of fine bacon packed
in South Omaha, which was shipped
Monday for the Alaska commissary de
partment. Little items such as this
show in the strongest kind of a way
what Nebraska and the great middle
west in general have been doing these
latter years, and point unerringly to a
future of marvelous possibilities. Thirty-one
years ago The Journal declared
that Nebraska would eventually find the
most profitable market for her farm
products in the mining and manufac
turing centers of the west. We see no
reason to change that estimate of Ne
braska's situation.
The sentiment in official circles at
Washington is not always indicative of
the sentiment in the country at large.
It is, therefore, advisable that the Presi
dent escape occasionally from official
environment into the larger areas of
public opinion and discussion, remote
from the national capital. The earlier
Presidents saw the advantage of such
journeys among the people, and Monroe
undoubtedly caught in this way the
spirit of a rising distinctive American
ism, jast as McKinley caught the spirit
of a broader Americanism in his jour
ney of 1896. Chicago Inter Ocean.
Omaha's population as estimated by
A. M. Dewy, special agent of the United
States department of labor, is 118,000
instead of the 102,000 as made by the
census enumeration last June. The
figures are based on number of school
children, families supplied by water
works, etc. The one matter of astonish
ment was that the city paid out annually
for hydrant rental upwards of $100,000,
which, if applied, would soon purchase a
waterworks plant by the city.
The little article in The Journal
entitled "Showing direction of wind," in
commenting on a Leader local has put
many to thinking. Every one of- the
present incumbents of the court house
when first nominated howled against
Gus Speice and Dan Kavanaugh, and
now they want to go these gentlemen
one better. In fact they would like to
enjoy a life lease of office. Columbus

very good indication of what the admin

toward the good, and also demonstrates
to the country how much easier and
better it is, all things considered to work
with a surplus than forever to worry

The editor of the Omaha Bee has pre
dicted that William J. Bryan will be the
democratic candidate for governor of
Nebraska next year. It is very hard to
tell what may happen between now and
then. If the many whisperings wa have

they go, Edgar Howard of this city may
be a formidable candidate for the honor
of standing up against some good repub
lican in a losing contest.
The following significant paragraph
appeared in the New York market reports
one day last week: "The street seems to
regard it as a foregone conclusion that
the acquisition of the Burlington system
by the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern companies will precipitate an
alliance between the Union Pacific and
some one of the more important lines
with which it connects at Omaha.''
The center of area of the United

On the Chicago board of trade Friday
the fluctuations in prices of corn were
the most violent in years, the market
closing at 58 cents, the highest price for
May corn in twenty years. Phillips let

and 58 cents, netting him a profit of

The police commissioners of Kansas

The Kelly well at Beaumont, Texas,

The rain of Friday was as welcome
a shower as we have seen in a long while.
Seemingly everybody was glad, and cer
tainly the individual members of the
vegetable kingdom hereabouts expressed
their sentiments in an unmistakable
manner. While the atmosphere ia de
cidedly cooler as a result, there seems no
danger of a reaction, even to the extent
of a light frost, which also is to be reck
oned as a great blessing, because, judg
ing by present prospects, Nebraska this
year is to excel all previous seasons of
her career for fruit.
Rising City has been having some
excitement over a society of boys who
named their organization the "Devil's
Den." It was just one of those kind of
things which do boys far more barm

got them into trouble when one of the
mothers discovered its existence. The
boys evidently went to the "Devil" or
somewhere else very suddenly when she
appeared. The "den" has since been
deserted. Rising, like all towns, has its

A complaint has been filed with
Justice Curtis against Theodora Gonka,
charging him with burglary in the night
time of the residence of H. J. Alexander,
between Saturday and Sunday last, sad
taking therefrom two gold watches, one
belonging to Mr. and one to Mrs. Alex
ander, valued at $75. The young man
is 20 years old, and, it seems, has been
engaged in other questionable acts.
Monday afternoon he made confession
to an ofltcer and took him to the Union
Pacific coal chute, and turned over to
him the two watches that had been
stolen.
W. H. Lewis received a letter from
Dr. Clark of Clovis, California, on busi

California, and when returned to the
writer didn't even notice that it had

wrote to John Wiggins to know what
had become of Lewis, etc. Saturday
Lewis answered in a long letter, that be
would hardly go so far as to Columbus,
California, for his mail, and he didn't
think that the doctor would take that
method to get him out there. The joke
is certainly on the doctor.
Holt county northwest of us is be

with tliia additional drive: "A special

arrived over the U. P. Sunday and were
unloaded. They were shipped by a for

driven to Holt county for summer pas
turage. The overland trip, a distance of
fifty-five miles, was begun immediately,
a number of Ord's embryo cowboys going
with them, and the trip occupying about

Congressman Robinson of the Third

will be held in the High school building,
Norfolk, beginning June 12 at 2 p. m., at
which time the committee will announce
the program of examination and pass on
the proofs of residence, certificates of
good character and physical qualifica
tions. June 13, at 9 a. m., the examina
tion for mental qualifications will com

oral in part, as the committee may
determine, but all shall be public.

Dr. Condon finished planting the
trees in his park this week, and the
number planted now foots up to a grand
total of twenty-seven hundred and fifty;
nine hundred and ten having been plant
ed last year and eighteen hundred and
fifty planted this year. There are fifteen
kinds of evergreens and about thirty
kinds of other trees and shrubbery, mak
ing a total of forty-five different kinds.
We doubt if there is another private or
public park in the state that can boast
of as many trees nor as many different
kinds. It certainly shows a very enter
prising spirit on the part of Dr. Condon
and it is an enterprise that is highly
commendable. Mr. Condon also informs
us that it is his intention to put water
works of his own in the park. He will
