If you believe in free silver, don't vote for Henggler. because Henggler will not vote to send W. J. Bryan to the United States senate. If the republican convention coald have named two stronger men than Mr. Hobart and Mr. Henggler, wa don't know who they wonld be. A vote for Hobart is a vote to pro tect yoar own interest in county mat ters. A vote for Henggler is a vote to keep in foroe a revenue law which will provide running expenses. Judge Sallivan said it was a good law, and it is a good law. A report comes that Tom Taggart has broken the news to Mr. Parker, informing him as gently as possible that he has no show on earth. And here he has passed up a fat job in the New York oourt of apieale. When a man goes into inlitics his trouble be gins. "This fellow Berge will not get as many votes as the Parker electors there is not a nonulist in the state who will vote for them." Judge W.H. Thompson.

"Except in the matters pointed out with regard to the method of assessing ana taxing insurance companies, we believe the law to be not only fair to the tax-payers, BUT ONE ADMIR ABLY ADAPTED TO THE DISTRI BUTION OF THE BURDEN OF TAXATION AMONG THE PROPER TY OWNERS OF THE 8TATE.,M Prom the opinion of Judge Duffy, Fasion Commissioner of the Supreme Court. The Telegram editor explains his "no deficit" statement by saying: "The editor of the Journal is batting bis head against a brick wall". If the head of the Journal editor misses the wall at each "butt" as far as the ditor of the Telegram missed the trath in regard to Platte onantv's dafioit it will be good for the batting process' as long as the editor of the Telegram fails to take the democratic tax-payers of Platte county into his esnfideaoe. An eastern democratic organ remarks "It is upon the trusts organized since 1803 that the republican soothsayers largely rely for victory in the coming Motion." This is refreshing in view at the fact that the trust magnates warn opposed to the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt and taat Wall street money was liberally aaed, a far the direction of Angast Belmont, ta Mcara delegates to the St. Loaia a vantioa favorable to the nomia atian af Jadga- Parker.

THE GRAIN TRUST. "In the face of the fact that Ne braska farmers have in recent years been fleeced oat of millions of dollars by the grain trust, vet here cornea Baebe Schneider, president of trust, ana injects himself into the campaign as the real leader of the republican machine. It would appear the part of good politics for such an obnoxious factor to keep in the dark during the campaign, lest the republican can didatta suffer from the burden of Bch aederiam. But Reube la not worrying about the sufferings of the caudirtawa He baa business on hand. Hie bua iasas ie to aee to it that the republican state officials and legislative nominees shall be friendly to the grain truac Every democrat or populist elected to membership in the legislature this year will be solemnly pledged to vote for a counterpart of the Brady bill, which Schneider killed during the closing days of the last legislature." Telegram. The Telegram's charges in the mat ter of the "grain trust" and the "Brady bill" are as far from the truth as its statement that "there is not deficifin the Platte county treasury Here are the facta about the so-called "grain trust" of which Mr. Sch neider is president was honored by an presidency of the Dealen' Association. is composed of several state associa tions of grain dealers and of members of some of the large oommfesion firms. The chief purpose of this association is the improvement of terminal mar kets to enable grain dealers to pay the highest possible price for grain. This association, the very purpose of whose organization is the improve ment of the market for the fanner. is called the "grain trust". And yet. this "trust" has not a single dollar invested. Its president does not draw a cent in salary, and the Nebraska Grain Dealers' Association is not now a member of it. It is not incorporated. It has power neither to issue a share of stock nor to declare a dividend. It can neither buy nor sell a bushel of grain. In fact it lacks every single essential of a "trust". And yet the Telegram insists that a "trust" with no existence has " fleeced " the farmer out of millions of dollars, and asks the intelligent farmers of Platte county to vote for democratic candidates because R. B. Schneider, on account of his ability, chances to be a member of the repub lican national committee at the same time that he is the unpaid presi dent of an association organized for the sole purpose of promoting the, mutual welfare of farmers and grain dealers, justthe same as the editorial associations are organized to promote the mutual welfare of newspaper pub lishers and advertisers. The Telegram asserts that the farm ers of Nebraska will never be free from thia imaginary trust until the "Brady bill" is enacted in law. Here are the facts about the "Brady hill." Previous to the enactment of the Elkins law by Roosevelt and a repub lican congress, rebates and discrimin ations were practiced by the railroads in favor of large dealers, and the small independent grain buyer and farmer's elevators were given a choice between "pooling" or quitting bus iness. It was also complained that farmers' elevator companies found difficulty in getting railroads to grant sites for elevators or to furnish cars for the shipment of grain. While in most cases too many elevators were already on the ground, fairness de manded that farmers should be given the same facilities by the railroads for operating elevators as were enjoyed by other elevators and when the leg islature assembled in VJO'i. democrats and republicans 'alike were anxious to go on record for "fair play". Accordingly, a bill known as the "Ramsey bill" was introduced in the House and the "Brady bill" waa in troduced in the Senate, both bills be ing supported byf riends of the farmers' elevator. The Ramsey bill became a law. The only objection to the Ram sey biU made by the friends of the Brady biU at the time ot its passage was the fear that it might be found unconstitutional. They admitted, in short, that it would be all right so long as it remained alive on the statute books. The Ramsay law is alive and in full force today, guaranteeing "equal facilities to all persons or associations who desire to erect or operate ele vators". Its constitutionality has never been questioned and probably never will be. It will be time to talk for the Brady bill when its "counter part", already on the statute books, is foand unconstitutional. Democrats all remember how Cleve land and his attorney-general hid be hind the imagined unconstitutionality of tthe Sherman anti-trust law for years, as an excuse for their failure to enforoe it. They remember also, how the democratic judges on the su preme bench came within one vote of foiling President Roosevelt in his fearless enforcement of that law. Democrats have memories, brother, that is why so many of them are straight repablioaas thia year. Don't imagine for a moment that the ghost, "unoonatitutionality", whioh frightened Cleveland so badly, will frighten sensible voters into a support of democratic candidates for the Nebraska legislature. They have oome to look upon' ' anoonstitationalty ' aa a constitutional disease of the dem ocratic imagination. Weeuggeat in all kindness to the editor of the Telegram, if he wishes to retain the confidence of his readers, that it would be wall for him to dis cuss some abstract theories in whioh democrats believe and to keep oat of the field of political history from whioh ha fails ao ategularly to gather nay facta. Meanwhile we suggest that ha nog alga the "grain trust" to the same limbo that containa the lifeleaa forms of "Coal Oil John", "No County De ficit" and "Repablioaas Stood Be- t A BUSINESS PROPOSITION. What wa need in theomc attorney is a man of auMciant adi tioa, mental ability ami knowledge of the law to iaeara the tax-payers of Platte coaatfy that whan the county is party to a legal action it will be rep resented na ably aa the other aide may be. Every civil cult in which the county nttomey is eaamgad ia a matter directly Bleating taw pesketcook of every psapeilj owner smd taxpayer in Pmtte county. Every criminal suit ia which ha is oalled upon to not ia a matter directly affecting the peace, safety and sseisJ welfare of every ras identof the eounty. What aaaa in Platte county would fail to employ the ablest attorney who ooald be found, if the litigation in question waa an affair of hia own private bus iness, or one involving the protection of hia own property and family? And thia ia th? problem which oonfronta every voter in Platte county when he comes to vote for a county attorney. He knowa not what moment the coun ty's interest, in which he aa a tax payer owns n part, may require a ca pable and efficient representative in the courts. The county ia already in debt ; it cannot afford to pay oat big attorney fees for "assisting" counseL Every voter must recognize that thia ia a simple, plain, business proposition. National politics is made the Une of distinction in the nomination of local officials be cause it is an establiahed and con veninent custom. The county attor ney of Platte oouaty has to do with governmental policy the tariff, 'im perialam, standing army, the dining of negroes abeolately nothing a all. But with the protection of Platte county's flnaacial and social interests the has everything to do. Upon him will depend the enforcement of the lawa of the state, not the enactment of laws. He wUl not deal in economic theories, but with common, everyday, practical business matters matters which appeal to the tax-payer in terms of doUara and cents. Mr. Hobart ia a man of high legal attainmenta and unquestioned personal character. Nothing will be said against him because there is nothing that can be said against him. The county's legal business will be safe in his hands. He will be elected asn republican, but not on political issues, Thia is a business proposition. PJIOGRESS IN RUSSIA. Cruelty is the one thing that dis tinguishes the ancient and mediaeval civilization from the modern. What ever may be the tendency of the times in matters of religions creeds, it ia certain that man's inhumanity to man is being tempered more and more every year. The barbarous forms of punishment which disgraced early civilization have disappeared in en lightened countries, and now the czar of the Russias has abolished corporal punishment in his domain. It ia true that thia waa done while he waa under the chastening influence of military reverses and the softening influence of th advent of his first-born for girls don't count among royalty. Bat, whatever the immediate cause, the forward step has been made, and it can hardly be retraced. And the civilized world receivea the tidings with thanks giving. Americans have ever been in the forefront of humanitarian progress. In the struggle between Russia and Jap an, Americans have almost univer sally sympathized with Japan. In the matter of Christianity and even of national morality Russia ia in advance of Japan. But the Japanese have been generally regarded in thia country ae a gentle, nrtiatio race whose short comings were what we call moral ir regularities aad whose barbarisms did not take the form of savage cruelty. Russia, on the other hand, though a Christian nation and one of the so called civilized nations, has long been a blot upon the world's page of pro gress by reason of the inhuman cruel ties that have been practiced upon criminal and political offenders. Corporal punishment of ndnlts has within the mat hundred yeara come to be regarded in thia oountry aa a bar barons practice. In the case of child ren, it is still countenanced and prac ticed by many in their own families, and still permitted in our public schools. It cannot be doubted that we shall grow out of it in time, and it is to be hoped that we may lead the world in thia reform, as we have in so many others. THE COUNTY TICKET. Harmony and enthusiasm are the two words that tell the story of the re publican convention last Tharaday. THATUTT1 editor of the the At kit, aad ha ntifnl prose his feasant ad forgets to tell si! bird ha da- Populists who are flghting WaU and democrats who are working hand in hand with Wall street sup porting the same candidates. Bather qaeer combination when you oome to look at it. -Monroe aWpubUon, And the sentiment of B. W. Hobart'a most excellent speech, printed in the Journal thia week, explains the reason for that harmony and enthusiasm. The f republican voters of Platte oounty are united in solid phalaatx this fall. Every man ia in hia plaoe,hia energies stimulated by the pride he feels in the achievement of his party ia nation and state : by the unexampled record of Theodore Roosevelt ; by the able and honest ndministration of repabiii state officers. R. W. Hobart for county nttomey and Joseph Henggler for representa tive are men to inspire the enthus iastic support of evsry repubUaan.snd to invite the votes of every old line democrat and every populist who ia a populist from principle, who have been betrayed aad insulted Ijy the dominating offioe-aeeking faslonists. Every tax-payer ia Platte oounty ac quainted with conditions must know it would be money in his pocket to have a man like Hobart to look atf er the oounty's legal business. Every tax-payer knows that a vote for Joseph Henggler is a rote for a just sad eqaitabls rereane system and n vote against a man who la pledged to overthrow oar present revenue law and to support for the United States Senate a man who to sailed to the free silver fallacy aad state ownership for railroads, bat who maapporthsgaman for presidency who Is allied with the gold standard and railroad corpor ations. County economy plsads for the elec tion of R. W. Hobart An equitable state revenue ajsHm and the election of a United States Hiastor in harmony with Theodora Roosevelt speak elo- oaeatlv for the alssHea of Joanna Henggler to the legialature, I .BIRD. The well writes poeans on Bath readers the scribes. Those who av. the Uttle bird fly into the court house whsiew dating the republican convention Inst Thurs day and parch upon the buck of n chair while it uttered notes of history concerning the defaulting Platts coun ty tresamrer, agree that the bird was clothed in plumage of the blackest hue. They declare ia fact that it be longed to the same brood with those crowa that have become rtniiiff to Journal readers under the names of "Coal Oil John" and "No County Deficit." And remembering the greedy voracity with whioh the editor of the Telegram devoured the nest fellows of this last unfortunate bird, they are already trembling for its fate. For this bird, which may be named "BepubUcans stood Between," like its neat-fellows. "Republicans Stood Between", is knew its notes were false and it did not took its aaditora ia the eye when it uttered them. It knew that it would have been impossible for nrepubUcan bondsman to stand between Lynch and the penitentiary even had he ao 'desir ed. It knew that the sole resnonaibUity for the failure of criminal proaecatioa must ever stand on the debit side of the democratic ledger against n demo cratic board of aaperviaors and n dem ocratic oounty attorney, whose plain duty it was to permit neither demo crat nor republican to stand between n defaulter aad prisoa. Bat the poor bird was hungry, and it was told that the democrats ia Platte oounty hold the string to the grain sack from which it must get its food; and that the democratic granary wiU continue always to be the repository of that sack. It waa told also that there was only one key that would unlock the door of this democratic granary and that if that key ahould be lost the re publicans would gain entrance to the depository of golden grain. This key, it was said, was distinguished from the rest of the key ring by being marked in deep plain letters "Mis statement of fact. " The poor unfor tunate bird used this key to open the oourt house window last Thursday. Bat the rspubUoan county convention waa temporarily in possession of the granary. And R. W. Hobart, seeing the crow with the key, captured both, delivered the key to the republican convention and deUvered "Republi cans Stood Between" to the Journal to be fed to the editor of the Telegram from the same trough from which he cleaned up "Coal Oil John" and "No Oounty Deficit." Here's hoping our brother'a digestive organs wiU not collapse before the end of the cam paign. Parker and Wall Street. That the great combinations regard Judge Parker as a"aafe"man for them there is no reason to doubt. Tne St. Louis platform is very pronounced in its anti-trust declaration. It demands a strict enforcement of existing stat utes against the combinations and such further legislation na may be necessary to effectually suppress them. In his speech of acceptance the candidate for president made a tame reference to the subject and expressed the opinion that "the common law aa developed affords a complete legal remedy against monopolies". The candidate for vice president did not refer to the matter ia his speech of acceptance, but it ia qaite well understood that being very much identified with great corpor ations railroads, banking and indus trialhe does not sympathize with the demands regarding them of St. Lonia platform. He ia not anxious that the existing laws shall be enforced and it is not to be doubted that he concurs in the opinion of Judge Parker that no further anti-trust legislation ia needed, that the pubUo can rely upon . the common law for protection against monopoly. There is not a reasonable doubt that the managers of the demo cratic campaign will appeal to WaU etreet for aupport and that they will get liberal contributions ,from that quarter. The evidenoe ia ample that they have carefnUy planned to do this and it is safe to aay with-the full acquiescence of the candidate. A abort time ago the WaU 8treet Journal stated that very oonfldent aaaertioaa were made by local democratic politi cians that there will be any amount of Standard Oil money for Jadge Parker aad said that the hatred of the men of "high finance" for Roosevelt ia undi minished and. indeed, rather refresh ed by the hope of defeating him. It may fairly be doubted whether one of the great combinations, or so-cnUed trasta, will contribute to the nampaiga, but if all indications of the past few montha are not mialeadiag the demo crats will be Uberaily provided for from that source.

The World-Herald is inconsistent if not desperately deoeitfaL It is just now devoting much space to testi monials from prominent men in Lin coln in regard to the character of Mr. Barge, the fusion nominee for gover nor, in which they make the statement that he is a cleaa conscientious christ ian gentleman. While these testi monials are highly complimentary to Mr. Berge, tbey show n large degree of inconsistency in the World-Herald as they are the most prominent alleged against Governor Mickey by that paper. Just bow the World Herald can hope to gain the vote of the saloon nnd bum element of the state for Mr. Kerge and nt the same time alienate it from Mr. Mickey by this cross-fired manner of political skuldugery is saore than the average iateleligeat voter is likely to be able to comprehend. Bradahaw Republican. The f nsionists are tryiag for votea with the promise or at least the impli ed promise that they can pay the state indebtedness nnd the state running expenses with less money than the republicans and that therefore the taxation wiU be less under their gov ernment than under that of the repub Ucana. An election with each n promise to sustain would be a greater disaster than n defeat. The taxpayers will be compeUed to meet the indebt edness of the state and pay the runn ing expense or go further into debt whether it be under republican or fusion government and the party that wiU make the taxes heavy enough to meet these demands ia the one deser ving of aupport, because the sooner the debt is wiped out the sooner wiU the property owners get rid of the in terest that is now being paid in ad dition to the other expenses.

A full line of White Coats and Aprons FRIEDHOF & C2 The World-Herald is making a fight on Mickey that ia both disgusting and harmless to its victim. By editor ial and cartoon that paper is present ing Governor Mickey as an overly pious person. Some of the cartoons in the World-HerW on this score would be too boyish to appear in a schoolboy sheet. Beyond its attempt to ridicule the governor by making burlesque of his Christianity no charge is made against him. His nets as gov ernor are not assailed. As he has been in the office now for nearly two yean his official acts must be pretty satis factory to the pnblio if hia enemiea must resort to ridiculing hia chriat- ianity in order to find something to aay against htm. Bat this sort of opposition ia made all the more harm leas because Berge, the fusion oppon ent to him, is also a man of the same rnligioua faith. If being a chriatinn la auffioient grounds for defeating Mickey it ought to be enough to de feat Berge. The World-Herald's dab is a boomerang. Ord Quiz. COLUMBUS MARKETS.
