Hi A KKW VRaTITHV!-
We are glad to promise the readers
of the weekly Joaraal, still amors for
their money than they have been en
joying. Besides strengthening the
news department materially with the
aid of the Daily Joarnal, we expect
next week to add a German depart
meat consisting of two pages. This
plan has grown one of the reqaosts of
many of oar German enbacriberi,
who feel that a coaaty paper in n
ooanty where there is so large a per
centage of Germans, aboald contain
eaoagh German to interest the older
people, many of whom do not read
English, and at the same time eaongh
to give their children paction in read
iag the langaageof the Fatherland
We shall aay no more at this time
except to repeat that it is oar purpose
to make the Weekly Journal not only
the newsiest paper in Platte county,
hut the best advertising mediam for.
Judge Parker informs the 6.000,000
democrats, with whom he voted for
silver in two campaigns, that the gold
standard is irrevocably fixed, and he
tells the delegates who declared that
"protection is a robbery' that he
favors a ''reasonabls revision of the
tariaT.' There is room for overtime
in the democratic explanation depart-
It wonll be interesting to have a
list of the democratic congressmen
-who are seeking re-election in the
middle and western states on their
nrgnment that the ' gold standard is
irrevocably established. " Jndge Park

Tiro ELECTIONS.
Vermont and Arkansas have held
state elections. There was a oartaia
similarity in result, though not in
methods. In Vermont, all the citissna
have the privilege of voting; in Ar
hanma probably a third of them have
that privilege. In northern states the
ratio of vote to population is on what
economists might call n quantitative
basis; in the south it depends on the
color of the applicant for suffrage.
Mince the race qaestioa is one of on
ly local application, the result of the
Arkaasai election is not significant as

ANOTHER APOLOGY.
"A feu week sgo job publicly charg
ed that the democratic members of the
bowdotMipervkonof Platte coanty in
reoeot yean bad always ran to the fall
liautof the law in making oomnty levies.
Yoar attention baa been repeatedly
called to the fact that your statement
waa antra. TTniW mTi iwwmmrtnwa
a jteatlessan mast make an apology."
The editor of the Taleirram
wholly saahU to distiswwsh bstween a
Mohargen and testimony introduced to
sopport that oharga. He also seems
amwillinffto quote the Joaraal's argn-
Tha question of whether or not Platte
otmatysaperrisorshaTe made the levy
np to the limit of the law is not an
Werefossto enter into a personal
argument through the columns of the
Journal It matters not to the tar
payers of Platte coanty whether the
editor of the Journal is a "gentleman"
or not That question is as far from be
ing at issue aa the amount of levy made
by the supervisors is and the Telegram's
argument may fall as far short of con
vincing the-taxpayers on that point as
it did of proving that there is no deficit
in Platte county's treasury.
Every siaglo statement made by the
Journal in regard to the county deficit
has been made either on the authority of
a democratic coanty official or has been
based oa the records aa kept by demo
cratic county officials, whom the Journal
regards aa honest men.
Theeditor of the Telegram insisted
that Platte county voters should vote
against republican candidates because
of the existence of a state debt which
he falsely charged was due to extrava
gant and dishonest republican officials.
We gave statistics to prove that fusion
administrations were partners of ropab
lioan adnunistrations daring the increase
of Nebraska's debtnd we explained that
neither fusionists nor republicans but a
defective revenue law was responsible
for that debt
We called attention at the same time
to n deficit in Platte county's treasury
and charged that deficit either to the
ssme defective revenue law or to the
extravagance of county supervisors.
The editor of the Telegram dared not
admit that the deficit was due to the
defective revenue law for snch an ad
mission would be an invitation to every
democrat to vote for Joseph Henggler
and against John Bender.
Then he attempted to explain the
deficit nway by charging it to floods.
We replied by showing that $9000 of
the $13000 deficit was to be found in
the general fund and not in the road
and bridge fund.
Unable to prove the absence of ex
travagance' by resorting to the flood
theory aad'not having the moral cour
age to admit that the new revenue law
was necessary to remedy the Platte
oounty deficit, he attempted to switch
the argument to an insignificant state
ment about the levy which is not vital
to the argument
A democratic oounty official, who is
honest and efficient in the administra
tioa of his offioe and whose business it
is to know the levies, told us that the
levy had been made up to the limit of
the law for the last two years. He was
mistaken. We repeated his statement
not aa a charge against the supervisors,
but merely as evidence to prove a de
fective revenue law. Everyone knows
that the supervisors have n right to
levy nil the law allows. It is no charge
of dishonesty, therefore, to say that
they made the levy np to that limit
However, aa soon as we leaned of the
mistake of the democratic official, we
oorrected it in the Journal in two issues.
The issue of September 7 contained the
following:
" Why.do not the supervisors take the
levy high enough to provide for that
amount? The Journal admits that
they could have increased it two mills.
Bat as we pointed out last week an in
crease of two mills, or in other words,
a levy up to the full limit of the law,
would have fallen abort about $8000 of
covering the present deficit That is to
ssy, the supervisors of Platte county
were powerless under the old revenue
law to provide enough money to pay
the county's expenses which have ac
crued since the levy was made."
The issue of August 24 contained the
following:
The asssssrt valuation of Platte coan
ty in 1908 was $2,754,620.
The levy for 1903 was 13 mills for
county purposes. The law permits a
levy of 15 mills.
An increase of 2 mills in the 1903 levy
would have yielded $5509. This would
have reduced the present deficit to about
$8000.
In other words, Platte county's in
come eould not have been made large
enough in 1903 to meet the county's
expenses under conditions as they were."
Now brother, who if the "gentlemen"
who owes an apology to other gentle
awn for false statements?
It you possess all the qualities you
demand in your contemporaries, please
quote the following questions from the
Journal, and answer them by "yes" or
"no."
Were not Platte county tax-payers
payiag7per cent interest on $13,225
worth of warrants when you declared
to them that "there is no county de
ficit?" Is it not true that Platte county
supervisors could not legally have made
the levy high enough in 1903 to pay
the county's expenses during the period
for which the levy was made?
la it not true that you juggled the
reoords when you gave figures to show
thstPlstteoounty's deficit was doe en
tirely to "unusual rains"?
Is it not true that the clerk's books
show that only $3768 of the present
deficit is charged to the road and bridge
fanda while more than $9000 of it is
charged to the general fund?
If nil the above statements are true,
do not the tax-payers of Platte county
need Joseph Henggler in the next leg
islature to ase to it that our new revenue
law which has provided n remedy shall
remain on the statute books?
If misrepresentation of facta on the
part of the democratic organ is neosss
ary to continue the operation of the
dwmneirstiu machine in Platte county,
hi it not time that the rank and file of
the democratic tax-payers were bolting
that marhias aad alerting man like R.
W. Hobartfor county attorney to guard
their uterests?
It is mighty oasnrorting to haven
(as they say in the
ECONOMY.
It was a Dsmsorat, no dwubt, who
wrote to the Msw York World, sug
gesting that the collection of nil the
burnt matches tor kindling would
prove n wise eoonomy ia thia wasteful
age. There once was aa U adage
about seeing a pin aad pioh it up and
the boys of half a oautury'ago were
advised to save ail the pieces of string
they found for hi too and tops. Those
old sooaamio saws were nil right ia
their day, for pins aad strings war

there always has been two kinds of
eoonomy, one of the miserly saving
aad the other of eoonomio aad wise
expenditures of one's talents. The
Scriptures condemned the servant who
saved his talent without putting it to
use and commended the servant who
invested his aad multiplied it ten-fold.
The ontioisms of repablioaa extrav
agance by the demooratio orators an

tured the neoole oa not earing burnt
matches. Eoonomy is a watch-word
with the demooratio party, aad for
years it has been promising to econo
mize ia expenditures if entrusted with
power. They tried it twelve yean
ago aad the result was a happy
They expended lens but it wns

compelled the people to pick up match

public soup kitchens. Taa Cleveland
Admiaistratioa expeaded more than
ito inoosae every year and sold bonds
to secure money to pay the ordinary
The republican party haa not follow
ed that eoonomio policy. It has not
despised burnt matches, but it has
not had the people to pick them up
because it has given them more profi
table employment. It has followed
business principles aad
the earning of more naoaey that
might be spent for the comforts aad
even the luxuries of life. The repub
lican party has not looked upon the
worHng asanas oae who should be
oompelled to drudge aad slave aad

burnt matches. It has tried toaooon

The policy of protection bat shut out

our worUagmea to give their atten
tion to better things. It haa the batter
kind of economy. The last Cleveland
administration was a good example of
demooratio oonomy nnd ia four years
increased the interest-bearing debt
from $585,000,000 where Harrison left
it to $847,000,000 or more than $363,

the insular questions which followed
that war, bat it only increased the interest-bearing
debt $198,000,000 and
the Roosevelt administratioa bus made
a redaction of $181,500,000 even with
the increased cost of the army and
navy. Thia is the kind of eoonomy
which is in harmony with business
methods.

French Cerrsspondsnt's Uncsnaorad
View ef Llao Yang Defeat,
Paris, Sept lS.--Tfie Journal'a Llao'
Yang correspondent having ridden to
Tien Tsln, aeada thence the follow
ing uncensored dispatch: "The first
part of the campaign may be consid
ered lost The Russian army has re
treated northward ia the directum of
Tie pass or further. The Russian
army's inferiority in men, guns aad
enthusiasm prevented Kouropatkin's
resisting longer at Llao Yang or
achieving at Yeatal a victory which
would have obliged the Japanese to
fall back. .The Japanese will shortly
triumphantly enter Mukden. The
Russian general staff now estimates
the Japanese forces nt from 400,009
to 500,060. The Russian army will re
concentrate Jn the north, but it needs
several months to fill the losses la a
number of corps, which must bo
doubled. Above nil, it Is essential to
restore the morale, affected by almost
unprecedented trials and difficulties.
A Russian offensive movement win
he impossible for n long time. Should
Russia be determined to continue the
effort it might still vanquish, but at a
cost wholly disproportionate to the re
sults. As an impartial witness, I am
convinced that it would be to the best
Interest of the belligerenta to sink
national pride aad by mutual conces
sions end a war which will otherwise
ruin both.
Jane Advancing Rapidly.
8t Petersburg, Sept 13. The
yiedomosti's correspondent at Tie
paaa telegraphs to his paper aa fol
lows: "The Japanese, who have been
accused of moving forward slowly, am
aow advancing very rapidly. Little
avails the Russian Increase of troops,
for the Japanese are receiving rein
forcements from New Chwang. Tho
Initiative win remain in the hands of
the Japanese and their tactics win
always be repeated."
With the luU la military operatlona
and aa. almost entire suspension of
dispatches from the front St Peters
burg has again fallen back on rumors.
Countless stories are afloat regardlag
the Russian defeat at Llao Yang, aome
of which are abaolately absurd.

FKI6IT RATES TOO NIH
Munree Telia Raaaaa far Discrimina
tion Against Dsnvsr.
Denver, Sept 13. Judge C. C
Prouty, member of the Interstate com
merce commission, began hearing evi
dence in thia city oa charges of dis
crimination in freight tariffs against
this city, which have been made
against nil western railways. Cattle
men allege that for -years the rail
roads have been steadily advancing
live stock rates and are aow threaten
ing to put them still higher. George
J. Klndel, n manufacturer, presented
evidence showing thnt goods shipped
to Denver from both the oast and
west are booked aa first class, which
are transported to nny other state at
third and fourth class rates.
J. A. Munroe. freight traffic mana
ger of the Union Pacific, testified that
competition between the cotton mills
of New England nnd those of the
south made discrimination In freight
rates a necessity. The density of pop
ulation along tho Missouri river also
controlled rate schedule! Mr. Prouty
thought that volume of traffic rather
than density of population should rule.
He asked the railroad attorney what
the Almighty had done for tho cities
along the Missouri that they should
be given lower freight rates than Den
ver. The question was not fully an
swered when a recess was taken.

that about 12.000 mea appUed for

' Many of the nonunion men failed to
