THOSE SMALL FUS10X 1ST APPRO
PRIATIONS. Fusiouifits "point with pride to"
their small appropriations for main
tenance bnt reserve a digcreet silence
on the magniGccnt deficiencies requir
ed to supplement those appropriations.
Voters of Platte county, stndy care
folly the following statistics before
yon vote for a single fssiouiEt candi
date: We admit that the state debt on No
vember 30, 1697, when the fnsioniets
were in complete control of all the'
departments of state government, was
$1,570,389.86 while on November 30th
1903, when the republicans were in
full power it was a2.33, 177.21. This
makes a net increase of $6SG,787.35
which of course increased Platte
county's burden of state taxes.
Bnt the fnsionists were in power till
Jannary 1901, and in that time added
151.057.86 to the state debt, leaving
f535,7J9 49 chargeable to repulbicans,
aince tne fusionists were ousted.
Now, if the republicans can show
that this money was spent in response
to the neeas of our growing state and
not "wasted," the republican ticket
is entitled to tnu support of every
honest tav-jtayer.
Happily, the repulbican party can
account for more than twice the
amount of this increase, in spite of
the fact that the state has been strug
gling uuder a revenue law, wholly in
adequate to tne needa of a growing
state.
Fi ret. Extra-ordinary epxenses from
1901 to 1903 alone more than explain
increase of 1535,729.49.
Here are the items :

THE OLD STORY.
Another example of progressive po
litic is to be seen in the recent alleg
ed letter of President Roosevelt, con
dsmning labor unions. The New York
Evening Poet published an editorial
article in the form of a letter which
it thought Roosevelt ought to write
to the president of the butcher' un
ion. The Miner's Magazine of Den
ver published the letter and repre-ent-4
It as having been written by the
president. Now Michael Donnelly, the
president of the union, exposes the
fake and culls it a piece of stupid poli
tical work; the Evening Pest claims
its own and announces that the letter
tne work of its own imagination
ays, "We never dreamed of its
ling to figure as a campaign
." One is retained of the times
qaarter of a century ago when Gar
ftsid and Blaine had to deal with
forged letters which would have sent

Deficiency from fusion administra
tion, which a repulbican legislature
had to make good in order to preserve
the state's credit. 182. 735.97.
For return of First Nebr.. Regiment
from San Francisco, f 17,370.75.
For addition to Hastings asylum,
the inmates having increased from
542 in 164.7 to 1.013 January 1. 1904,
$55,000.00.
For nine supreme court commission
ers and their assistants. $y.t800.00.
For Pan-American Exjraition, Buff
alo, 10.000.00.
For permanelnt location of Nebraska
state fair, $35,000.00.
Total extra-ordinary expenses. $57S,
107.72. It will be seen from the above fig
ures, wntcn are taken from the aud
itor's books that the extra-ordinary
and nnsual expenses alone, over 200,
000 of which was for fusion deficien
cies, more than accounts for the total
increase of state debt daring the re
publican administrations which are
under consideration.
By way of more complete explana
tion of some of the items entering
into the unusual epxenses it is proper
to state that the wolf bounties had
been accumulating for years, under a
law which made their payment obli
gatory. A fusion legislature failed to
make sufficient appropriation for the
payment of these claims, in an effort
to make a grandstand exbibiton of
esonomv. A republican leigslatnre
made provision for the payment of the
accrraed debt and the repealed the
law.
The item representing "deficiency
from fusion administration" is the
accumulation of 'deficiencies from the
several departments and state intsitu-
tions during the fusion regiment. It
was a desperate effort to make a record
for economy. Appropriation were
made which were entirely inadequate
for the maiutenauce of the institu
tions and hence indebtedness was in
curred which later had to be made
good.
In regard to the unusual item of ex
pense for the supreme court commis
sion it is proper to state .that on April
15, 1901, hero were 1600 cases awaiting
judication in the supreme court. Be
tween that dato and January 1, 1903,
1078 new cases were filed, making a
total of 267S cases to be oonsidereJ in
less than two years. Three snnreme
judges could not possibly do the work.
Relief was necesasry and all political
parties so agreed. This condition of
affairs accounts for the existence of
the commission and the expense inci
dent thereto.
Second. There is still another ex
planation of the state debt. The re
publican legislature, of 1903, proud of
the University of Nebraska and its
excellent work in behalf of tbo sous
and daughters of Nebraska farmers,
raised the miserly f usionist appropri
ation of 1252,500 made in 1897, to
779.500 an increase of $527,000 nearly
equal to the entire increase in the
state debt form 1901 to 1903.
Now we ask the editor of the Tole
gram, did the republican legislature
"was" that 527,000 which it paid in
order that your son and thousands of
other Nebraska boys might have edu
cational facilities in our own great
state equal to those offered in eastern
institutions? Are you not proud of
bearing your portion of a state debt
incurred for the sole DurDoee at en.
abling your son together with other
young men and young women of Ne
braska, to start out in the battle fof
life without the handicap of an in
ferior education? Platte county tax
payers your burdens of state taxes has
been increased by enongn to pav your
share of this University appropriation,
no more. Is this extravagance? If so.
what will von call the appropriations
made by this same "extravagant"
republican legislature to pay fusion
deficiencies amounting to $200,000
wnich ih nearly naif the iacrease in
the state debt?
It is true, the state debt has increas
ed because of a detective revenue law.
But that increase under republican
administrations is represented by new
schools and, additions to onr state in
stitutions. It is equally true that Platte county
was powerless under the same defec
tive revenue law in 1903 to pay the
county's expenses and as a result
Platte county taxpayers are paying 7
per cent interest on $13000 worth of
warrants. But that increase in Platte
county's expenses is not represented by
n new court house nor, by any other
improvements that wUl explain the
j rf 9000 worth of warrants drawn on the
-1904 fund. The difference between the
j increased expenses in the state and
rhoso in Platte county is that the state
pprupriations are represented by
ii.verial improvements while Platte
co. ity'b deficit from 1903 is not. The
reel tost of fnsionist economy is how
much they charged Nebraska taxpayers
for transacting their business for
thioi. Here are some examples of
"fusion economy" sized np by that
test.
Those "economical" fusion legisla
tures cost the people of Nebraska
$130,000 each. The extravagant " Dei
trich" legislature coEt them $113, COO.
Governor Mickey has spent an
average per capita of $82.76 in main
taining the soldiers' and sailors' home
at Milford.
Under Governor Poynter's adminis
tration when the fusionists had every
state office and the legislature, the
per capita for this institution was
$93.12.
The average saving for each inmate
for six monhts is $15.36 or $61.44 for
the two years.
There are '.Hi inmates in the home.
Multiply $61.44 by 1; and yon will
see that $5,896.24 has been saved by
the appointee of the present executive
in two years.
The inmates, as well as the build
ings, were neglected under the fus
ionists they are being well cared for
by Mickey. What became of the $59.
89S.24? Taxpayers, if you want economy,
how will yon vote?

ARGUMENT.
The World-Herald is shedding a few
more tears of joy or sorrow it does
not appear which over the fact that
Uncle Joe Cannon owns land in Cass
or Saunders county which was assessed
this year at more money than Uncle
Joe paid for it. Tho World-Herald's
writing evidently has nu bearing on
religious or temperance matters, so it
is to be presumed that it is designed
as a political argument. The further
presumption is that it is supposed to
be an argument favorable to the dem
ocratic side.
It must be admitted that the ways of
the democratic mind are devious and
past finding ont. A man buys some
land in Nebraska. In several years
time the land i found to have increased
in value. Down with the government !

AISGESPIELT.
A democrat of Columbus remarked
lost Saturday : "John Bender is a re
publican and always has been. If we
can't have a democrat to vote for in
Platte county, why don't we discard
the name?" And sure enough, what's
the use of keeping the old name. A
populist for governor, azi unidenti
fied man for congress and a republican
for the legislature. Just as well dis
band, boys, and make it unanimous.
COLUMBINES.

A DEMOCRATIC OPINION.
A man cannot be too careful about
what he puts in black and white.
The New York World has appointed
vaa
McKillip and the democratic organ
ization in Platte county are to be con-
graruiaieti on tne snrewd campaign
thev are conducting. They have Mc
Killip, " loggers ; out making a close
personal canvas for McKillip vote.
They go to a populist voter and say
"McKillip is entitled to yoar vote.
Doesn't he stand on the Kansas City
platform, favoring government owner
ship of railroads and other populist
doctrines?" Then they go to a Bryan
free-silver democrat and swear that
McKillip is a friend of free silver and
all the other "anti" doctrines of
Bryan. And to the Parker democrats
they point nut McKillip enthuisins-
tic support of Parker, te trust aud
the railroads and his allegiance to
every principle opposed by the pop
ulists and free-silver democrats. And
these "leggers"are even asking re
publican voters on the ground that a
man who can be a good populist, a
good Bryan democrat and a good Par
ker democrat all at once, must cer
tainly have more qualifications for
being a good republican than Mc
Carthy, who has never tried to be any
thing else but republican.
We repeat that McKillip and these
smooth Colnmbus manipulators are
wise in conducting their campaign
under cover where they have a plat
form to meet the tastes of every in
dividual they meet. They arj wise,
provided the voters of Platte county
are "easy". But these wise men will
find out on November 8th that Platte
county voters want Roosevelt and that
thev are not so silly as to Eend Mc
Killip to congress to vote against every
measure proposed by Roosevelt.
Platte county voters know that Roose
velt can do nothing without a friendly
congress. They know McCarthy is
friendly to Roosevelt and they know
that by tlie time McKillip. it elected,
should make good bis promises to Par
ker, Brtan and the populists.that he
would hnve little time left to help
Roosevelt in his crusade against the
trusts.
Roosevelt's friends can prove them
selves only by voting for McCarthy
and Henggler.
itself bell-wether pro tern, of the ilem
ocratio hosts, and as snch has been ad
dressing some tierce personal letter
to President Roosevelt and otherwise
making itself perniciously active, as
Grover would say. And now some
body digs up an editorial which ap
peared in the World last March, in
which it told the truth about a repub
lican president. Here it is :
1. Thp Anti-Trust law was framed
by a Republican, was iMissed bv a Re
publican House and a Republican
Senate, signed by a Republican Presi
dent. 2. The law remained a d ad letter
on the statute books during the entire
second term of Grover Cleveland, a
Democratic President. Through those
four years of Democrat administration
all appeals and all efforts of the World
to have the law enforced were met
with sneers, jeers and open contempt
from a Democrat attorney general.
Richard Oluey, who pretended that
the law was unconstitutional, and
who could do nothing toward prevent
ing violations or it.
3 The first effort to enforce the
law was made by Theodore Roosevelt,
a Republican President. The first at
torney general to vigorously prose
cute offenders and to test the law was
a Republican attorney general. Phil
ander C. Knox.
4. The decision of the supreme
court of the United States, given as
a nnaiity xroni wnicn there is no aD
peal, upholding the law as perfectly
constitutional and absolutely impreg
nable in every respect, as the World
for twelve years constantly insisted,
was dne to five judges, everyone of
whom was a Republican.
5. The dissenting minority of the
court included every Democratic judge
of that tri bunal, to-wit : Chief J ustice
Fuller of Illinois, Mr. Justice White
of Louisana, aud Mr. Justice Peek
ham of New York. All these dis
tinguished Democrat not only voted
against the constitutionality of the law
but pronounced it as a danger to the
republic.
6. Under these circumstances it
does not seem probable that the Dem
ocrats can make great capital in seek
ing to monopolize the anti-trust issue
and charging the Republican party
with the crime of being owned body
and soul by the trusts.
it is just as well to record some
plain truth, however unpleasant or
surprising.
Nobody can dispute any of the
above. The New Yotk World is one
of tho leading democratic papers of
the country. Truth is mighty. '

In theee degenerate localities it would b a re

of state and they say: "Be it enacted, that here

ever) candidate must iwrjure himself and say
under oath that he has only spent about f 1(5 in

Iendeil in the rental of hacks. And any who
shall refnse thus to irjiue himself shall lie

Float Senator.
Tkw demooratio and populist con
ventions for the nomination of a float
senator to represent Platte and Oolfax
counties met Saturday in the court
house in Colnmbus, but failed to agree
on a sunn. The democrats conveyed
to their popnlistio neighbors the im
pression that they were ready to nom
inate James Hughes or Schuvler any
time the pops chose to signify their
willingness to indorse him. The
others failed to signify, however, and
both conventions adjourned to meet
again in Schuyler on the l3th. The
pops realize that they hold the whip
hand, just as they did in the state
convention, and they eeem disposed
to rub it in for a while longer. There
seemed to be a sentiment on the part I
or m&av or the populists to endorse
Hugh Hughes, the republican nom
inee, and a prominent politician re
marked that Hugh Hughes stood much
nearer to the populist vote than did
the domocratio machine. Whether
be is endorsed formally or not. it is
predicted that Hugh Hughes will poll
a large per cent of the populist vcte,
especially in Platte county where
the pops hnve never been given any
recognition by the local democratic
ring.

vrte a chairman and secretary of the
float central committee.
The nomination was a surprise to
Mr. Hughes, but he has accepted the
nomination and the action of the con
vention is meeting the commendation
of all republicans. Mr. Hughes is re
garded as one of the very strongest
men that could have been nausd. One
republican expressed the opinion that
Mr. Hughes wouhl get a big majority

District Ceort.
In district court Friday Judge Hoi
lenbeck heard the case in which Em
ma Haney applied for n divorce from
John Heney. They were married
ten year ago and reside in Walker
township. The evidence showed that
quarrels had taken place during the
whole period of their wedded life,
dne mainly to the fact that Mrs. Ha
ney had five children from a former
marriage. The complaint alleges ex
treme cruelty and abusive language.
Last May Mrs. Haney left home. The
court granted her a decree of divorce
nnd custody of the children, and took
under advisement the question ' of
alimony.
A case of certain creditors of a busi

successor in the business allege that
the farm was worth less than repre
sented and ask that the mortgage be
set aside. The case is a part of an
action brought from the Merrick
county court.

A GOOD NOMINATION.
The nomination of Hugh Hughes
for float senator is received with ap
proval and confidence by republicans
generally. It is another example of
harmony and of good political seme.'
Hugh Hughes is one of the old-time
residents of Colnmbus. He has been
in business here for many years and
has always been a consistent republi
can. He has the confidence of all his
acquaintances and will carry Platte
county. Stand np for Platte and a
republican in the United States senate
to help Roosavelt.
The Albion Argus declares that the
highest compliment that can be paid
man these days is to can mm a pop.
If he is an honest populist he is
worthy of the same respect as an hon
est democrat or republican, no more.
But how about the populist who de
clares that Parker and the democratic
platform are the creatures of the trusts
and Wall street and yet are supporting
both by voting for McKillip for con
gress. Genoa Leader.
SCIENTIFIC FARMING.
The time is at hand in fact, has
been here for some time when scien
tific methods have taken the place of
the old-time way of doing things.
This is true in all kinds of business.
The merchnut who kees the most
exact and systematic record of every
department of his bucness.expenditure
and Income, who profit by the exper
ience of others, who keeps up with the
times, who advertises with system and
persistency this is the successful
merchant. The professional man who
keeps abreast of the times and follows
the advanced mothnds of the leaders
in his profession is the successful doc
tor or lawyer. The tradesman who
adopts the improved appliances and
methods of his trade is the man who
is successful as a skilled workman.
And now the great class of men who
hare gone lomtest in their own indi
vidual paths, following only the meth
ods of their fathers and learning new
things only by dint of costly exper
iencethis class which numbers a
third of the working population of
the United States has finally come to
a wide and constantly widening use
of scientific methods.
scientific farming is no longer a
theory but a practice. Farming, which
includes agriculture, horticulture,
stock and poultry raising, has become
a profession and is coming more and
more to be a learned profession. Our
Nebraska State university has a three
years' course, six months each year,
in scientific farming, which is open to
They Are Vet.
It often happens that the people at
home keep their own party news paper
editor in ignorance of what they pro
pose to do, so mnch so that he is com
pelled to go pounding along in serene
confidence tha be has every thing in
hand. He is not particularly to blame.
perhaps he is too busy to catch on. or
has to look so closely after business
matters connected with feeding the
babies and the kitty, that he can't
help it. Some one who wishes the
editor of the Columbus Telegram well
might call his attention to this, of
course in no mean tpirit. The loss of
the German vote to the democrats of
Platte county, would mean the ruin
ation of the democratic party locally.
Too much bog wash in the Telegram
about the rights of the poor down
trodden farmer, means just that.
The German farmers of Platte county
don't call themselves poor. ".Silver

pleted. Mr. Schupbach who retire from

For real, genuine eutemrise The
Omaha Bee leads the proceesion. It
has just added new color magazine
features to 'The Sunday Bee which
compare favorably with the best New
York and Chicago papers. The e
normous expense involved giving its
readers the benefit of tne lateBt inno
vations in artistic color nresa nrk
may not be fully understood, but it
should be richly rewarded with great
ly increased patronage. It is certainly
gratifying that we have such an en

it must be gratifying to The Bee
to know that it is recognized as the

The following letter was secured
by the High School Lecture Course
Committee Monday morning from the
Redpath Bureau. The committee had
contracted for William Hawley Smith,
but the letter makes plain why he will
not be able to appear ou the coarse
this year:
Colorado Springs. Colorado Sep 24,04
My Dear Friend Wm. Hawley Smith
opened our course here last night.
Have heard nothing from you since
wiring you that he would take Co
lumbus date. This morning he asks
me to write stating that he must not
fill it. He got through pretty well
here by Fitting through the lecture
but was used up physically and has de
cided that he must not try again. He
was quite disappointed as he had hoped
for his old strength back again which
I fear he will never have.
