LINCOLN, Nerx, Sept The poli tical situation in Nebraska as viewed from Lincoln, can be summed up in a few sentences. There are two state tickets in the field, democratic and re publican. The democratic ticket pre tends that populism is fused with it, but this is not true. On the (ace of it there is fusion be tween democracy and populism, but at the heart of it there is no fusion, for the populist voters do not consent The only real fusion with the demo cratic ticket is its fusion with the railroads. The democrats had a pre-conven-tion contest in which Berge represent ed the anti-railroad element, Shallen berger the railroad element, and Sballenberger won. The' republicans also had a pre coBventioa contest in which the anti railroad element won with an emphasis that has produced a pro found impression on the entire state. The determined struggle on the part of the republicans to rid their party of railroad dictation, and its pronounced result, is by all odds the most important and conspicuous fea ture of the whole Nebraska situation. Along with the election of the state ticket is coupled the election' of a United States Senator, for each party has nominated its senatorial candidate, and it may be said that we now have election of United States Senator by the people. The pre-con-vntion railroad and anti-railroad struggle among the republicans has resulted in a general uplift of the whole public conscience. The politi cal atmosphere is clearer today and public sentiment is on a higher plane than ever before. There is more ac live independence among the people, and' we, are nearer representative government than ever .before. The raUraad influence has been driven out of the counsels of the republican party aad has been compelled to seek re fuge with the democratic office seek ers. The republicans expect tho most strennons opposition from the rail roads and are prepared to meet it The railroads oppose such men as Norris Brown because they are inde pendent enough in character to re sist railroad influence and strong enough as public officials to get re sults for the public. They oppose such men as George Sheldon, the re publican nominee for governor, be cause such men demand liberty for men and they hate coercion and cor poration, greed. It is not worth while just at this time to discuss the party platforms. Platforms are important, but they are not as important as men. The party platform is only a promise. The man in the place of power is a reality. The man, what he is and does, is the government If tin corporations fear and oppose George Sheldon, that means that he is ndttheir kind'of a man and that his administration would not assist their kind of government, and that met, and it is a fact means more to the peeple than all the platforms that could be written. If they 'oppose George Sheldon and consent to Shal lenberger, that means that Shallen berger ia their kind of a man aad that ild expect their kind of govern- , front him, aad the knowledge of that fact makes the honest populists akyatthenteation of his name, for they, know that a railroad pet would net ant things as they do and would the So much for the general situation. The public have planned and have already inaugurated a vigorous cam paign in which all the candidates agree and will participate for the practical reforms that the practical people of Nebraska need and desire. With that straightforward directness peculiar to each, Brown and Sheldon have commenced a discussion of freight rates that will shed more light on the concrete facts of rate extortion than the Nebraska people have ever seen before. Many efforts have been made in the past to stir the producing people to a sense of the wrongs they are suffering in rate extortion, but the people have seen things only through the light of glittering generalties, for neither the campaigners nor the press have given out the concrete facts. The facts and the figures, these are the concrete elements of the railroad question that the people want now. Norris Brown in his opening speeches at Emerson and Tekamah talked about Nebraska wheat and the en vironment of extortion between it and the Chicago market As a basis of comparison he showed that wheat moves across Iowa and Illinois on its way to the Chicago market at the rate of 1 cents per bushel per 100 miles. The railroads, he said, voluntarily put in this rate between Omaha and Chicago and therefore they cannot deny that it k profitable and satisfactory. If they can haul wheat at that rate across Iowa and Illinois, why should not Nebraska wheat ride to the Chicago market at the same rate? If Exeter is 100 miles further from Chicago than Omaha, that means that Exeter wheat is 1 1 cents further from the Chicago mar ket If the rate from Omaha to 'Chicago is 6;3 cents per bushel for the 500-mile haul, then' Exeter 100 miles further away should be 1 J cents more, or 7:6 cents which is ( cents less than the wheat raisers at Exeter are paying now. Mr. Brown showed that a still higher extortion was being practiced against wheat at Holdrdege, Broken Bow and other points, and that investigation proved an average extortion on Nebraska wheat of. over '6 cents per bushel, or about $3,250,000 annually against a 50,000.000 bushel crop. Brown made the point that the extortion was against the whole crop, whether it was all marketed or not for the price in Chicago is the value of the commodity in Nebraska less the transportation charges. At these same meetings George Sheldon, .the republican candidate for governor, talked of coal rates in Ne braska. From Glen Rock and other nearby mines of Wyoming tfie freight charges over the Elkhorn road for the 145 miles to Crawford is $2.10 per ton, while the same coal is hauled on to Lincoln, 630 miles from the mines, for only 70 cents more per ton. The rate from the mines to Chadron is the same as to 0Neil, although O'Neil is 250 miles farther away. Coal coming into Nebraska from Colorado over the Burlington shows still greater lack of discrimination between points as to distance and a still higher and more extortionate rate than is charged via the Elkhorn line. From Canon City, Colorado, to Benkelman, Neb., the distance is 360 miles, and the rate charge is $4.00 per ton, while the same coal goes on to Omaha and Lincoln and to all inter vening points at $4.35. Note the disregard for distance: , They haul to Benkelman for $4.00, and then on 235 miles farther for only 35 cents more. These rates are in some in stances three times as high as the-coal rates in Iowa. The total deposits of these three banks on September 1, was $1,156, 417.73 and the total loans, $840,108 21 These large deposits indicate not only a general confidence in Colum bus banks but a condition of unpre cedented prosperity among farmers, tradesmen and' professional men 'in this territory which is a high tribute to the natural resources of the' country and the sobriety, thrift and industry of our people. The large amount of loans, on the other hand, indicates a business activity and a faith in the future of the country and its govern ment which should make us all proud of Columbus and the just and peace ful administration of government which makes it possible for every man to make the most of the great natural resources of the place selected for his home. The bank statement is the business barometer for the community in which the- bank is located. And judging from the latest bank state ments, the business barometer for Columbus reads "clear and fair" for a long time to come. ' Editor Ladd of the Albion News puts the whole argument in a nut shell: "Brother Bryan's little nlan to run the trunk lines of railway un der federal ownership and the branch lines under state ownership does not go far enough. The switches should be managed under county owner ship." The Journal urges the attention of every reader, especially every demo crat and populist to the statement of political issues made by the republi- a w canstate central committee aud pu blished elsewhere in these columns. No party committee ever prepared a more concise, conservative, sensible, truthful and convincing statement of the facts, than this is. It tells the whole story. The republican party is with the people. The railroads and corporations are with the demo cratic party. We ask republican readers to hand this paper to a demo cratic friend. Remember that this year nine out of ten voters in all parties are independent voters and are open to conviction. To stockmen Ifynn lisve CATTLE, HOGS r SIIBBI to market, ship to us.

Perhaps even better than calling it irrelevant would be to say that it is immaterial; that is to say, there is nothing to it It is an empty mockery for the bride whose thoughts are far away, at least several feet away, from the immediate object of her cold salutation, and it is likewise a vain mockery for those who are favored with the bridal kisses. The small boy who is impelled by reason of policy to kiss teacher, or the man who for similar rea sons indulges in the practice of kissing open-mouthed infants is in the same boat with the wedding guest who kisse3 the bride." St Louis Globe-Democrat: Begin ning as a boy orator. Mr. Bryan has held attention steadily as a public speaker. He can draw a crowd wher ever he makes an address, but the rec ord is against him as to the convincing quality of his arguments and the sound ness of his paramount issues. It is settled that the public flock to bear a Bryan speech on any subject but has never approved his doctrines at the polls. The intelligent voter listens, but analyzes for himself when making up his mind how to cast his ballot Mr. Bryan woald attract a full house if all his political followers were excluded. He would be admired as an orator by such an audience, yet it would ue more against him as a political adviser when he finished than when he began. He must ever remain in the shadow of his colossal fallacy, the exploded free silver theory. But as an orator he continues to be an object of general cariosity. Lost or Stolen.

Central City Nonpareil: There is a strong suspicion, amounting almost to conviction in many minds, that despite his statements and speeches to the con trary George W. Berge would not shed a tear over the defeat of Mr. Sballen berger. Mr. Berge was euchered out of nomination by the railroad politicians and while be will try to save his politi cal face by a nominal support of their candidate the chances are that down deep in his heart he hopes to see the people turn them down in November. State Journal: Mr. ShaUenberger, democratic nominee for governor, was nominated by Ed P. Smith of Omaha. Mr. Smith m one of the leadimr attor neys for the grain trust of Nebraska. He was so eager to see Mr. Sballenber ger head the ticket that he disregarded the agreement that no nominating speeches should be made in the conven tion and made a speech lauding Mr. ShaUenberger to the skies. It has been duly noted that Mr. ShaUenberger was nominated by a 'corporation man and he is expected to receive the support of the corporations. Notice.

Hjffl-S COLUMBUS BANKING INSTITU TIONS. The Jouanal published the state- to of three of Columbus banking iastitntions last week which indicate the highest point of business pros perity, ever reaches! in the territory tributary to Columbus. Our good old friend Pete Barron is still going astray on the subject of kiss ing. He wrote an editorial in the World-Herald the other day on "Kiss ing the Bride," which indicates ope of three things. He either never enjoyed the exquisite bliss of kissing another fellow's bride, or expects soon to have a bride of his own whom he wants none of bis Columbus friends to "Blobber" over, or has become engulfed in politics since he went to' Omaba and has been indulging in the habit ol kissing what he calls 'open mouthed" infante. Here is his editorial: "English journals are having some discussion over a question raised by a clergyman who would abolish what he calls the "foolish and irrevaleat" custom of kise- the bride after the wedding ceremony. ii tt comforting to note that BURLINGTON BULLETIN...
