If United States senators cannot be
elected by direct vote of the people,
something along that line is now being
agitated by republican newspapers of the

nomination to be binding upon the
republican members of the legislature.

MR. HANNA AS A CANDIDATE.
Many newspapers are showing unwar
ranted annoyance aad irritation over the
movement to make Mr.Haana a candi
dhte for the j) residential nomination-before
the republican convention in 1904,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. "
It is assumed that Mr. Hanna, in per
mitting his name to be used in this con
nection, is guilty of disloyalty to the
president and to the republican party.
It is assumed also that, because there is
a movement to make Mr. Hanna a candi
date before the convention, Mr. Hanna
himself is aiming at the disruption of
the republican party.
Every man who has studied the polit
ical situation believes at present that
President Boosevelt will be nominated
in 1904. This, however, does not debar
any other man from being a candidate,
nor does it warrant the assumption that
Mr. Hanna is a traitor to the party be
cause of any reluctance on his part to
say that he is not a candidate.
The selection of a candidate is a mat
ter to be decided, not by the supporters
or friends of anyone man, but by the
republican convention. It is not the
part of wisdom for the majority in any
party to say that only one candidate
shall be considered.
smaliTfruits.
Farmers of the west, from having con
siderable trouble to produce a satisfac
tory supply of tree fruits, should give
more than the usual attention to vine
and bush fruits, for there is no part of
the west in which these it given reason
able care, do not flourish. Any one, in
fact, who has as much as a garden plot
of ground may have enough!1 of the high
ly flavored and healthful bush fruits to
supply the family with fresh fruits in
season and the most desirable preserved
fruits throughout the year. And this
without a failure more than once in
ten years.
The list of these fruits should com
prise strawberry, currant, gooseberry,
raspberry, blackberry, dwarf Juneberry,
and grapes, all of which may be protected
from severe winter conditions without
much trouble, and can be protected from
drouth by such simple irrigation expedi
ents as a well and windmill affords.
The first cost of starting a bush and
vine plantation is trifling, and its main
tenance or extension cost nothing.
This matter is of importance to all who
appreciate good living on the farm.
The one secret of success in the busi
ness is to plant sparingly, using only
those tried and proven good varieties and
care intelligently for what is planted.
A big family will be fully supplied
from the bush and vine fruit product of
a quarter acre of ground. Nebraska
Farmer.
Word comes from Lincoln that a
movement is on foot to establish a daily
newspaper there to be run as a demo
cratic organ, without Bryanite frills. It
is the intention of the promoters, who at
present are trying to keep their plans a
secret, as well as their names, to buy the
Post, which, it is generally supposed, is
being run at a loss to its owners, enlarge
the plant to the extent of $50,000 or
$60,000, and run a regular metropolitan
newspaper. A correspondent from Lin
coln to the Omaha Bee says: "Several
months ago plans for the purchase of the
Post were perfected and everything was
ready for the transfer of the property,
when some one discovered that the men
behind the plan were those who were
opposed to the doctrines of the demo
cratic party as expounded by Mr. Bryan.
Influences were brought to bear and the
deal fell through. This time it is said
there will be no failure and that the new
paper will be launched just as soon as
possible, in time to round up the dele
gates from Nebraska to the next national
convention. While Mr. Bryan may be
able to control the Nebraska delegation
to that convention, there is no question
but what a great fight will be made on
him. Even his most ardent admirers are
censuring him for his interference at the
Columbus convention and for his lack of
interest in the late judicial campaign
when the cherished idol of conservative
democrats, Chief Justice Sullivan, went
down to defeat. Now that Mr. Bryan is
in Europe, there is left little in Nebraska
to prevent his enemies from doing what
they choose, for without Bryan's personal
leadership his friends are helpl
The "Milkman" in the Norfolk Press
puts it this way: "It is good to say
'Stand up for Nebraska,' but it is better
to know what you are standing up for.
We have been doing a little careful
figuring and find that our state this year
produced enough corn to give three
bushels to every man, woman and child
in the United States. Its yield of wheat
this year was so great that every inhabi
tant of our glorious country can have
just a half bushel of Nebraska wheat.
Her crop acreage is so large, that, should
five people be placed on each acre, it
would depopulate every state and terri
tory but ours. If one man had the
money our live stock interests represent,
he could give to every inhabitant of the
United States one dollar and a half and
still have thirty-five and a half million
left The next time you meet a man
grumbling about Nebraska being good
enough for him, just0 show him this and
tell him to paste it in his hat."

The second annual exhibition of the
Columbus poultry and pet stock show,
which was held last week from Tuesday
to Saturday inclusive, was a decided
success. The judge, L. P. Harris of
Clay Center, Nebraska, complimented
the officers upon the improvement they
had made in their show, both as to num
ber of exhibitors and the kind of stock.
An average daily of one hundred and
fifty people visited the show during the
five days and all were enthusiastic over
the display. Counting the pigeons and
all fowls, there were four hundred and
fifty birds exhibited, representing forty
varieties.
A meeting will be held this Thursday
evening at the Zinnecker barber shop,
when officers for the coming year will be
elected and business important to the
association will be discussed. All who
are interested in poultry are invited to
attend this meeting.
The fine Buff Cochin cock of C. K.
Davies, for which he paid $25,was ooe
of the priaripal attractions of the show,
an attractive wiadow
much of the time. Mr. Davies has bean
informed that a brother of this bird
recently brought $100. The judge, Mr.
Harris, purchased twenty-two chickens
of Mr. Davies, which were shipped to
him Monday.
I As a result of the show many of the
birds were sold and it is predicted that
the interestaroused this year will be an
impetus for a still better exhibit next
year. Those who had the principal work
in charge, L. G. Zinnecker, E. C. Worden
and W. Kersenbrock are much encour

S. F. D. Ja. 3.
Coatiaued from laat week.
After oar short rest we resume onr
trip, now getting to the hills where at
some places you are going up one before
yon are down the other, if the term or
expression is applicable, which we be
lieve is in this case. On this part of the
journey are Wm. Albns and Wm. Langey,
two of Platte county's most sturdy
farmers who are up to date in everything
about their places, having the appear
ance of good management and thrift.
They have their farms marked by U. S.
mail boxes. Mr. Lange ia superintend
ent of the German Baptist Sabbath
school.
Leaving these two farms we come to
the old Benthack place now owned by
Fred Behlen, jr., who just a short time
ago took unto himself a helpmate.
A few more hills and we are at Mr. D.
Behlen's and Mr. Fred Behlen's sr., post
office boxes. These two gentlemen are
great fruit growers and much fine and
luscious fruit in the way of strawberries
and other fruit is marketed each year
from these farms. We notice that they
also farm quite extensively and keep a
great deal of stock. One thing we notice
also ia the attention they give to the
growing of alfalfa and their way of pre
serving the hay under sheds.
For a ways we have a level drive and
our team takes advantage of this and
trots up briskly. We are in sight of a
most beautiful farming country, perhaps
aa fine as there is in the state of Ne
braska. It ia well settled and all of the
best of improvements. The land is
slightly rolling and the soil just right.
This lovely country is known as Grand
Prairie township. Some of the farms in
sight are George Streeter, John Jeldon,
H. P. Mohrmann, Henry Wilkins, John
Brunken and our county treasurer elect,
D. A-Becber.
We are now at the German Baptist
church of Shell creek. Here the good
natured, popular and much beloved pas
tor greets us. He is always in a good
humor and has a pleasant word for us.
Bar. Papaahauaen has a prosperous
church and is' doing much good in the
commanity and is at times remembered
by people oataide of his church with
donations, simply asking his prayer in
payment. He. loves his charge, his peo
ple, and we hope as long as we carry mail
on Route 3 that he will always be at his
box to greet us.
