Old line democrats who have the
courage of their convictions aro begin
ning to speak out in repudiation of
Itryanlsin. Conspicuous exumples are
Judge Morse and. V. It, Shelby of
Michigan, both life-long democrats, the
latter chairman of the gold democratic
state committee.
A few days ago Judge .Morse gave
out a signed statement of his reasons
for not supiMM'tlng llryan. "I shall
not vote for Bryan," ho said, "no mat
ter what tho platform U, because lie
still Insists uon the silver heresy being
made a part, and a prominent pari, of
the democratic creed. In my opinion
he Is a dangerous man lo the best In
terests of the country, not only llnan
daily, but In other respects." Judge
Morse declared that he shall support
the republican national ticket If Uryan
Is nominated. Mr. Shelby, In an In
terview, stated his belief that the sound
money democrats generally will this
year rally to tho support of Mclvlnley.
"Not a sound money democratic vote,
he said, "will be wasted on a third
ticket or kept at home, but erery last

ono win oo registered ior uiu iciuu-
llcan candidate." He declured that
Hrynn has not changed since 1SO0 and
his platform has not Improved with age.
Another notable example is Dr. Wil
liam Everett of Massachusetts, who has
long been prominent In tho democratic
politics of that state. Ho Is opposed to
nryanlsm not only because ot tne iree
sliver heresy, but also for the reason
that the principles and policies it rep
resents are "subversive of law, order
and peace at homo and abroad." He
regards Hryan's utterances as danger
ous and pronounces him unsound not
inerelv on tho mouey question, but on
the fundamentals of national and Inter
national policy.
Undoubtedly as the campaign ad
vances such examples will multiply.
Many old-lluc democrats will await, be
fore taking position, the declarations of
tho Kansas City -convention, hoping
that thero will bo a modlllcatlou of the
Chicago platform and that the princi
ples enunciated at Sioux Kails will not
be endorsed, but when this hope is dis
appointed, as it is most certain to be,
they will not be found supporting
Hryanlsm. As tho Now loru Times.
referring to tho declarations of the con
vention of the fusion populists, snys:
'Tlmo -will make It no easier to support
these things and the candidacy of W.

or be done to solve any doubts, remove
any dilllcultlcs, or rauko tho steep and

crats and republican dissenters. Kither

of wild doctrine they vehemently repu
diated four years ago or they must vote
for William McKluley and his theory
of the national duty. They might as
well show the courage of men by rauk

City convention will bo little more than

accept tho Sioux Falls candidate for

fusion populist nomination or Mr.
Uryan and much If not all of the plat

HOW TJ1EI' GAIUUED TUB COlATI.
The Invincible battalion under tne
brilliant leadership of Colonel Walter
Molse. ald-de-camp to his excellency,
Governor I'oynter, has carried Doug
las county by storm. -ot ouiy nuo
his cohorts routed all opposition In the
Fifth -ward, where Colonel Molse s
home guard bivouacs, but they have
also swept Hamcat alley, triumphed In
simiiii Omaha and overwhelmed tne
enemy entrenched lu all tho country
mcclncts, Including Cloutarf.
As a result of this masterful general-
ship the ahl-de-camp of his excellency
will take a solid delegation from Doug
las county to Lincoln on tho day of the
democratic state convention. Kvery
man of this delegation has been picked
and pickled, and, with the exception of
three eminent Journalists who are re
warded for. their part In tho valorous
assault on the Jacksonlan breastworks,
every mother's son not already holding
ojllce Is slated for a Job on the police
force not lower than a captaincy.
Like the gallant (MX) at Balaklava the
colonel's command galloped down the
valley of death, figuratively speaking,
with bottles (o tho right of them and
poker chips to the left Of them, regard
less of danger. In the meantime the
faithful Sauclio Pnnza Gunsolus kept
watch on (he tower, but not a cat
stirred nor a mouse squeaked while the
list of delegates was being made up In
star chamber by Colouel Molse and his
committee.
And when tho bloodless baltle was
over and tne remains or tne enemy
strewn on the Held, a shout of glory
weut up that was heard way down lu
the stale house. Ills excellency knew
by (hat sign that his pretender police
commission had delivered tho goods
without troubling the democrats of
Douglas county with a primary election.
KnTUCKy cam: surtiian.
The sunremo court of tho United
States has settled tho Kentucky gov
ernorship contest by affirming tho de
cision of tho stale court of appeals,
which was that tho action of the gen
oral assembly was final. Tho opinion
of tho supremo court, to which four of
tho justices dlssenled, slated that the
court laid no Jurisdiction, that It was
purely a state case, that Kentucky Is lu
full possession of Its faculties as a mem
ber of tho union anil that there was no
emergency at this time calling for inter
ference. Tho opinion was delivered by
Chief Justice Fuller and stated that all
the conditions ami regulations provided
by a state for the election of Its officers
should bo free from external Interfer
enco except o fur ns plainly provided
by the constitution of tho United States
This, It was held, Is essential to the in
dupcudcuce, peace and tranquillity of
tho stales. Doubtless thero aro many
who will concur lu the dissenting opln
ion of Justice Harlan, who made a for
clblo argument against tho view that
the federal supreme court hud uo Juris
diction in such a case, but undoubtedly
there will bo a general feeling of satis
faction that this ugly contest has been
settled.
Another election for governor will
take place next November and It Is said
to be anticipated that It will be even
more bitter than tho last election,
owing to the Intense partisan antagon
ism that has been created. The repub
licans will make their light, as before,
against the Infamous CJoebel law and
they ought to be successful, but this
being a presidential year the chances
may be somewhat against them. That
law, however, has been so generally
condemned for Its vicious character
that It would seem the democrats them
selves should see tho wisdom of repeal
ing It.
TIUDU UELATlUXS WITH GEIIMAXY.
From tho report to tho State depart
ment of tho American consul general at
Berlin, nn olllclal whose experience and
familiarity with (lorman commercial
affairs give great weight to his opinion,
It Is to bo expected that (torinany will
show no favors to American trade In
tho near future. Consul Oonorul Mason
states that It Is the purpose of (.terniany
to revise her tariff on the line of a gen
eral and heavy Increase of duties, espe-
ally upon Imports from the United
States. Attributing the prosperity of
this country to the tariff that Is, to the
protection given to American Industries
-It Is argued that a similar system
must prove advantageous to t!erinany,
although that country has a pretty
strong protectlvo tariff now.
Tho consul therefore anticipates tariff
changes which will materially modify
commercial relations between Germany
and tho United States and he points out
that the sentiment Is very strong there
In favor of such a policy. Thero Is a
feeling of resentment, he says, in cer
tain business circles, of course chlelly
among manufacturers, which would
vent Itself in tariff legislation that
would bear harder upon American prod
ucts than upon those of other countries.
German statesmen must be governed
In this matter by what they conceive to
bo for the best Interests of their coun
try. Tho right of Germany to establish
whatever tariff policy she pleases can
not of course be questioned by this or
any other country. Hut If Germany in
making her turlff should discriminate
against tho United States sho could uot
reasonably expect that this country
would take no notice of such discrimina
tion and would contluuo to treat Ger
many as all other nations are treated.
AVo should certainly feel called upon to
adopt a retaliatory policy.
Consul General Mason expresses the
hope that a treaty or treaties will be
framed regulating vexed questions nnd
securing liberal Justice to imports of
food products by reciprocal concessions.
This ought to bo attainable, but In view
of what he says In regard to the feeling
In Germany hostile to the United Stntes
thero seems to be small promise of Its
being realized.
AS lO AOVEIIT1SINU OMAHA.
The man who watches a game
chess is almost always sure that
of
he'
would havo played it much better than
tho players. The same Is true of news
paper critics. Almost everybody In the
community Imagines he could conduct
a newspaper much better than its ed
itor. An example of this Is again furnished
by George B. Morton, who admits he is
a newcomer, but takes it upon himself
to arraign tho Omaha newspapers for
not advertising Omaha. Mr. Morton
feels sure Omuha Is not ns well and
favorably known as other western cities
because Its papers do not keep up a hur
ricane of brag and bluster day in and
day out. Ho attempts to draw a con
trast between Omaha and Kansas City
and asserts that the pre-eminence of
Kansas City In trade and Industry is
uo chiefly to the incessant booming of
their town by tho Kansas City papers
If Mr. Morton had taken tho trouble
o Inform himself ho would have dis
covered that no western city has been
extensively advertised by Its
newspapers and no city of Its size nnd
mportancc is better known abroad than
Omnhn. He would find thnt tlio omana
newspnpers hirvc every year given bun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth of
advertising space to public enterprises
of all kinds to promote the growth and
prosperity of Omaha.
No occasion has passed that lias not
been fully utilized by the Omaha news
papers in giving prominence to Omaha
pluck and energy. Tho Transmlssls-
slppl Kxposltlon, which advertised
Omaha far nnd wide nnd brought the
it v and slato to the attention of the
world, had its conception In nn Omaha
nowspappr and owed Its success chlelly
o Omaha newspapers.
But a man cannot pull himself over
a fence by his boot straps, neither can
a great city be built by constant blow
ing nnd puffing. Tlio growth of a city
lepends largely upon Its natural rc
sources, tne country irinuiary io us
trade, the enterprise of Its citizens and
the character of the men and women
who make up Its population. Omaha
lias never been on a nioro substantial
basis or enjoyed nioro promising pros
peets than It does today. Its newspa
pers- are as wideawake as those of any
other city and may be depended on to
do their full share in making known
every forward step the city accom
plishos In lis path of progress,
Tlio explanation Is offered thnt the
renson why Governor I'oynter and his
fusion associates on the State Board of
Uquallzatlon havo fixed the railroad
assessment for 1WO at the same figures
as 1S1S nnd 1S!K) Is that they decline
to rccognlzo tho existence of prosperity
for the railroads or any other line of
business. Tho only wonder Is that
thesu great reformers did not reduce
the assessment to prove thnt railroad
property In Nebraska Is shrinking In
value under the blight of the single gold
standard.
Douglas county democrats havo been
given another example of the leader
ship Hint dares not trust the rank nnd
file by the action of tho democratic
county committee in appointing without
utiy primary election the delegates to
represent this county In coming state
and congressional conventions. How It
can be democratic lo nominate a demo
cratic ticket without consulting the
wishes of the party voters or giving
thciu nn opportunity to choose the dele
gates to voice their sentiments Is
beyond the ordinary mind. Shades of
Jefferson and Jackson Is this democ
racy '!
The Turkish admiral who Is In this
country says he comes, not to pay the
claims of the missionaries, but to buy
ships for tho Turkish navy. They build
ships In this country, but ate in the
habit of selling only to people whose
financial rating stands good. If the
Turk has the collateral, however, he
can get about anything he wants In
this country.
Tho supreme court leaves Governor
Taylor to the. whim of a legislature
packed to keep him out of the guberna
torial olllco to which he was unques
tionably elected by the people of Ken
tucky. This, however, Is another case
where tho Judgment of the court of
public opinion, although at variance
with Hint 'of the law courts, has more
weight In determining the verdict of
history.
Illinois democrats of prominence are
not falling over themselves In nn effort
to secure the nomination for governor
In that state. It has come to pass that
when any faction desires to shelve a
man they mention him for governor.
Up to the present the party has not
been able to secur a victim and the
chances are It will bo forced to make a
draft.

Holdrcgo Citizen: The republican state
ticket Is ono that should recelvo the hearty
support of overy loyal republican and the
changes that havo ben wrought in tho
material Improvement of the country ought
to be enough to make moro loyal republi
cans In Nebraska than ever before.
North Platto Tribune: The republican
Btato central committee, in session last week,
selected Omaha ns headquarters for the
coroniltteo during tho coming campaign. As
Omaha Is of moro easy uccchs to tho greater
part of tho stato than Is Lincoln, wo -bellevo
tho selection is wise. And In addition tho
location may have some bearing on tho
result In Douglas county next November.
Gothenburg Independent: The nomina
tion of Charles II. Dietrich as tlio republican
candidate for governor of Nebraska Is ono
of tho best that could havo been made. IIo
Is a man that has made a success In life by
his own efforts and U not a politician, but
a thorough -business man. IIo gained his
nomination by no political trickery, but was
tho choice of tho majority of tho republicans
of the state. IIo will bo elected.
Hastings Ilecord: Tho action of the state
central commltteeo In removing the state
headquarters from Lincoln to Omaha Is not
a subject for criticism. The solo aim of the
commltteo was to socuro the best posslblo
results, regardless of personal preferences.
Lincoln has been favored with tho location
of the stato headquarters, btato convention
and state fair and there Is no good reason
vliy Omaha should uot receive same favors.
Hastings Tribune: Tho Sunday Illustrated
lice contained a fine picture of Charles H.
Dietrich and Borne vivid fiketches of his early
life In Hastings, Tho moro tho llfo of
Dietrich Is given -to tho public tho bettor ho
will stand before tho voters of the stnto.
Those scotches In Tho Hee "wero but a few
of what will he given to tho public befnro
tbo campaign ends, His life has not always
been In tho face ot danger. His peaceful
deeds stand out as prominent as his deeds
of daring In times of danger.
North riatto Tribune: The republican
stato ticket la composed nf as clean, capable
and progressive men as havo over stood for
election at the hands of tho people of Ne
braska. Every ono of them ought to bo
elected and If tho fovcr of nryanlsm has
lost Its power to dim the popular Judgment,
they will bo olected. Nebraska cannot nf-
ford to have her affairs managed for two
years more by tho political stcercrs now
In control at Lincoln. Neither can the stato
suffer these men to natno their succefcsors
in tho high places, for although tho person

corrupt hands which pull the strings to con
trol them would remain the same.

the nld of what he has condemned. The
most striking feature of the aggregation ot
political bunco-steerers who run tho oppo
sition to tho republican party Is Incon
sistency, nnd Lang had to keep up the
record.
Grand Island Independent: Porhatn by

I'oynter heard them. He whitewashed tho
reformer evidently upon agreement that the
reformer would resign. After the coat was
delivered the nppolnteu changed his mind
about the resignation and, the charges hav

is always better to bo fair and square.
Kimball Observer: Dr. U. F. lang, who

secured a writ of injunction from tho dis
trict court to restrain the governor nnd his
new oppolntee, Dr. Dearlng, from Interfering
with him In his exercise of duties as super
intendent. Governor I'oynter says ho will
pay no attention to the Injunction and tbo
fun has commenced. If the governor had
exercised duo diligence In the appointment
of a thoroughly competent man for such a
responsible position, ho would havo been
spared tho present humiliating task. Whllo
Dr. Lang Is a very nice man socially nnd
morally, he Is woefully lacking In executive
ability and has little standing as a physi
cian. Kearney Hub: Governor Poyntcr declare
that ho will disregard tho Injunction of tho
court restraining him temporarily from In

governor declares that tho Judicial depart
ment of the Btate has no control over the
executive otllce, and that If he should be
Imprisoned for contempt In refusing to obey
the Injunction ho would pardon himself. It
la evident that the governor is on his mrt

sumption that any citizen of the common
wealth becomes by reason ot his election lo

tho constitution and tho law that aro re

Indianapolis News: Baden-Powell Is
worthy of oil the honors that the British
empire can give him. His defense of .Mafe

sieges with which the course nf the British

pluck, of cheery defiance, of unconquerable
courage that write the words Mafeklng and
Baden-Powell large.
Springfield Republican: Colonel Baden
I'owcll deserves to rank high as a hero of
tho Boer war. Ills long and successful do
fenee of Mafeklng has been superb, although,
from a military standpoint, tho siege ha?
been very subordinate In tho strategy of the
war. Tho Boers have at no time sent
against the placo a very strong force, and
their chief effort has been to keep the
British garrison penned up there.

I've never seen spring In the same sown

This year hcr-Ojonnel I brighter bine,
And the1 robe she wraps about herself,
It never was ot ouch tender hue.
Iler breath smells sweeter of rpruce and
Pine,
Her step sinks deeper In velvet moss,
Ami the river banks roach out to her.
To kiss her feet as hIio steps across.
Iler smile Is brighter on llntd and hill
. More fragrant the pinks she tosses down.
And richer the gold the willows bring
To hnng in fringes along her gown.
Iler pulse beats stronger In bough and bud.
Her charms unfold with more witching
. trace,
A happier llcht Is lu her glance
And a warmer Hush upon her face.
The earth rejoices In gladder ureeii.
To farther edges the Melds respond;
Life sllrH more swiftly lu root and stem.

"Change of life," the period to which

the passing from girlhood to woman

Warm clothing, light diet, avoidance
