If there Is any prospect of a power canal, why should Omaha buy Its light from the middleman Instead of buying It directly from the canal company? , The democratic campaign in Kentucky has been formally opened. Just what else the distinguished orators opened besides their mouths Is not told In the dispatches. The session of the American Mining congress at Deadwood is a reminder that the -Black II 11 la country has again be come' the ruoHt Important mining dis trict In the United States. ' Any other country but Turkey that confessed lta Inability to protect the for elgn ministers at its court would speedily find itself under a protectorate strong enough to protect. Commander Peary explains that he expects to make his dash for the north pole in 100 days, but as a precautionary measure be ia to have a three-years' leave of absence from the navy to do it In. . It la no longer a question of whether Omaha ia to have bltullthlc, slagollthlc, asphaltic, brlckolithic or crushed lime- atone pavement, but whether It la to have any old kind of pavement this year. James J. Hill denies that he has any Intentions to build a railroad to Labra dor. II should at the same time deny that he has a scheme to merge all the moonbeams radiating toward this planet .... The unanimity with which the social lata made up their county ticket nomi nations shows that they have no ex pectation of electing any one. Where there are spoils In sight there Is sure to be a fight In the coming judicial races randl dates sre expected to register and speak for their capacity for Issuing Injunctions. A man who cannot issue at least ten lnunctlons a day had bet . ter get off the track.- The Nebraska Independent says' It took the work of "the biggest man in the United States" to procure tho re pudiation of the Denver manifesto by the : Grand Island convention. Is It possible the state of Bryan boasts two biggest menf . ' Candidates ' for nomination on the republican ticket have until next Thurs day noon to plank down their entrance fee and file their solemn pledge that they will not run on the democratic ticket if they are defeated in the repub lican convention. The great bogle besetting our demo cratic friends is the fear that the loeal republican factions may all get to gether eventually In support of the republican nominees. That dreaded contingency mean certain defeat for very candidate bearing the democratic label. French courts are struggling with the problem whether the property destroyed In the Pelee eruption was destroyed by fire or by some other a&eucy not con templatsd in the fire risk. In view of the fact that in such a case circum stantial evidence alone must be relied on. the judgment must depend on which aids has to bear the burden of proof, LABOR'S CtLtBRATlOX. Tod.iy will b observed throughout the country by the great army of organized labor and this public holiday is one in which all the people have learned to take a deep interest, because it is really one of the most significant occasions of the year. On this day the country is reminded of what a great force in the body politic organized labor has grown to be and also of the fact that It is stendlly increasing in strength and in Influence. The celebration will suggest to the thoughtful reflection! in regard to the material and moral power of this mighty force and what may be Its duflo and obligations, not alone to labor, but as well to that which employ labor and to the public interests and welfare. This annnal labor celebration ought to be fruitful of good results. It should conduce to a wider and better knowl edge of the condition and needs of the lnlwrlng classes and a more friendly re lation between the employe and. the em ployer, between labor, aud capital. No intelligent and unprejudiced person can doubt, that organised, labor, is tin: this lun'd bo firmly established that its permanence is assured. The right of those who- toll 'to associate themselves for the promotion 'of their common in terests is admitted by all. The vital matter is that, such organization sbaH be so directed that the Interests of those Identified with It may be conserved without Infringing unjustly upon the rights of others and especially without doing Injury to the public interests and welfare. As President Eoosevelt has well said, "the worth of an organization de pends upon its being handled with skill, courage, wlHdom, a, spirit of fair dealing between man and man, and wise self restraint." There Is no doubt that this is more generally recognized by or ganized labor than ever before and there is reason to believe that It will be still more largely recognized In futnre. There is a growing sense of conserva tism, we think, in the ranks of organized labor which Is most promising In behalf of what every good citizen desires and should endeavor to promote industrial peace. . i , TUVTH ASD LOGIC. ': The Omaha Bee, after speaking of' the action of the state convention concerning the Denver conference, says, "If, therefore, the program mapped out at Denver is abandoned, as It now seems it must be, an attempt to hold a populist national nominating convention next year Is cer tain to prove abortive. It is doubtful If a call for such a convention would recefve a response from a dozen states in the union." The "If" in that sentenoe is the all-Important word. Should the program marked out at Denver be abandoned there is no doubt that the result would be just as The Bee state it. But It is not going to be abandoned. The above remarks by The Bee with the words "as It now seems it must be" stricken out, were taken from the speech of the editor of the Independent at the Grand Island, convention and the truth of them must be apparent to any one who .will seriously . consider them. The Nebraska Independent. Admit the truth and the logical In ference follows. . At the Grand Island convention every champion of the Den ver manifesto, Including the editor of The Independent, Insisted that the pro gram therein mapped out offered the only way to maintain a national popu list organization. Every one of them insisted that If the work of the Denver conference was repudiated by Nebraska populists its success ; in other states would be seriously jeopardised. More than one of the speakers declared in substance, "Vote down this resolution of endorsement and you vote the popu list party out of existence." The Grand Island convention voted down' the reso lution by referring It to the next state convention. If the Deliver conference populists knew what they . were saying, the prospect for a . populist national convention next year with bona fide delegations present from more than a dozen states is mighty slim. THE lit BR ASK A CAlttiWATE. The aspirations of Hon. John L. Webster for vice presidential honors are receiving flattering encouragement in. various sections of the country. The unanimity with .which his candidacy was endorsed by the republican state convention bas attracted wide attention and the almost foregone conclusion that the second place on the national ticket will, go to the west has brought to him assurances of support from leading re publicans of other states. Although no aggressive campaign has yet been opened for blm, his candidacy la obtain lng more than passing notice not only in Nebraska and adjoining states, but also in states east of the Mississippi. Since his presentation by the stato con vention, Mr. Webster has had invita tions to address several representative gatherings and will this woek appear as one of the speakers at the American Mining congress along with Secretary Shaw and other distinguished public men. If this demand for the? serving of the Nebraska candidate keeps up, be will be busy from now to the close of the Impending national campaign. P CO A It AUD BKKT8. According to officially complied fig ures, more than 5,000,000,000 pounds of sugar, valued at over 1100,000,000, was brought into the United States in the fiscal year Just ended. This is a larger importation of sugar than in any pre ceding year in the history of the coun try. The total number of pounds of sugar brought into America during the year was 8,217,077,064, while in no ear lier year In the history of the country has the Importation of sugar ever reached 0,000,000,000 pouuds. Th largest Importation In any earlier vear was that of 1897, when the totil was 4.018.005,733 pounds. Oa the other side, the domestic produc tion for the same fiscal year of 1003 was ouly ' 600,000,000 pounds. While the amount of imported beet sugar has been decreasing, the output of domestic beet sugar has been Increasing, yet plainly at nowhere near the rate of increase of total domestic consumption. There Is no good reason why tha United States should not develop a beet sugar industry that will eventually sup ply Its entire home market The produc tion of this sugar out of beets grown at home would distribute a Inrge part of the 100,000,00 paid for imported sugar nmong our owp American farmers. This is something worth working for. THt HEAL QLEi-TlUX. Next week the Alaskan boundary com mission will get down to substantial work, the arrangement agreed upon pro viding that oral arguments shall be commenced on the . fifteenth ot this month and the expectation is that they will be concluded early in October. There is some misapprehension, It ap pears, as to what this commlrwlon was appointed to do, the common Impres sion being, as gathered from newspaper statements, that it is an arbitration tribunal. That seems to.be the Mew taken of it by the British and Canadian governments) but it is not in accord with the American view. It is cor rectly pointed out that both President McKlnley and President Roosevelt have consistently held that the right of the United States to its Alaskan coast strip is 'too well established for arbitration! and it W understood to be the view of our Department of State that, this com mission or tribunal is not one of arbi tration, hi the proper sense of the term. Former Secretary of State John W. Foster, who Is "one of the American counsel, has thus defined the character of the tribunal: "The treaty does not submit any American territory to the adjudication of arbitration, but croates a commission of three American and three British experts to determine where the line should .be drawn lictwcon Alaska and British Columbia." The real question, therefore, ia that of defining the terms of the treaty of 1825 between Great Britain and Russia, which from the American point of view sets forth the boundary of Alaska in terms that afford no Justincatlon of the claims of Canada as has repeatedly been pointed out, the contention of our government is tbat in purchasing Alaska the United States succeeded to the Russian title to the territory, acquired by the treaty with Great Britain, and that 'this title was never questioned by Canada until the idea took possession of the people ot the Dominion that they should have a northern Pacific port or ports. There upon they advanced a new cone-tructlon of the treaty of 1825 and ever since have been insisting upon it, making every other question in issue between that country and this subordinate to the boundary controversy. So far as can now be judged, there is not much promise of an agreement by the commission and in fact the gen eral opinion is that the deliberations of that body will leave the matter unset tled. It is recognized as practically cer tain tbat no vital concession that is, none Involving any relinquishment of territory vill be made by the Ameri can commissioners, while it is regarded as equally ure that the twe Canadian representatives will firmly adhere to their contention. The British commis sioner is Lord Chief Justice Alverstone, who is the chairman of the commission, and it is possible, though it can hardly be regarded as probable, that he will side with the American contention. Should he acquiesce in the Canadian view there of course would be no decision and the Alaska situation would remain as it now Is. The very strong position of the United States at least warrants the hope of a different result The very ingenious scheme of Presi dent Nash to give the electric light company the monopoly of public light ing in Omaha does not contemplate a reduction of the tax levy for street lighting by a single dollar, nor .does It contemplate or suggest the slightest re duction In the cost of electric light sup plied to the private consumers. Why then should the mayor and council en tertain any proposition looking toward the extension of the electric lighting contract, which has yet over two years to run, for ten years, or even for five years? Judge Sullivan declares under oath that his renomlnatlon did not cost him a cent although he expects the local hospitality committee to draw on hlin for $25 as a promised contribution to the fund to provide for the entertain ment of the convention. Lee Herdnyin, however, has not yet filed his sworn statement showing hdV much It cost him for fusing by telephone. Secretary Wilson wants the schools to teach the elements of agriculture with the idea that they will tend to check the exodua from fatal to city if not to produce a counter movement from city to farm. Tfie difficulty In the past has not been in acquiring the ublllty to farm as the stability to stay on the farm. If farm schools can teach both they may be successful. The next time the city charter is re vised the government of the city of Omaha with all its departments should be vested In the seven judges of the district court Instead of a mayor and city council, city clerk, treasurer, comp troller and Board of rubllc Work's, with tho specific proviso that the. judges should not enjoin or mandamus each other in cases of differences of opinion. Omaha socialists have the courage of their convictions. They have nominated their county ticket with full knowledge that it is foredoomed, but, like the fa mous six hundred tbat marched down the valley of death with cannon thun dering to the right of them and cannon thundering to the left of them, they propose to stand by their flag until the last gun is fired. According to the democratic definition, conducting a campaign "on a higher plane" means tbat the republican papers should keep silent about all the blemishes ou the official record of the fusion candidate, while the democratic organs freely Indulge their license to malign and throw mud at the repub lican nominee. It costs the state of ( Nebraska 7 cents a day to feed convicts at the penitentiary. It costs the city of Omaha 10H cents a day tOefeed vagrants and disturbers of the peace In the city jail. It costs the county of Douglas 45 cents a day to feed the honored guests in the county jail. Comment is superfluous. Bishop Joyce wants a chair of com mon sense established in each of our theological schools. Why confine the benefits of such a sensible innovation to students of theology when so many other professions show a lamentable lack of that Ingredient in equal degree? All Agree oa Water. Cleveland Leader. The farmers In .Wall street have widely different opinions concerning the corn and cotton crops. However, they all agree that It Is profitable to give stock all the water It can carry. Trifles Waved Aside, ... Chicago News. Of course the coal dealers will not allow a little thing ilka the law of supply and demand to Interfere with them In their ex alted labor of fixing the coal price In a way to suit themselves. A DeaaltlOn that Deflaea. Chicago Chronicle. A correspondent writes to Inquire what s the difference between a "prominent clt- lien" and a "leading figure In the commu nity." Off-hand we should say that one swears off his taxes while the other "sees" the assessor. Revised oa Messrs Lines. Chicago Post. David Bennett Hill is worried because he can find no evidence that modern business Is conducted along scriptural lines. If he did not stick so closely to Wolferfs Roost he might have discovered long ago that the golden rule has been changed from "Do unto others" to "Do others." Consolation In the Brand. Indianapolis News. The ' discovery has been made that the Mad Mullah gets his arms and ammunition from London, so the British have the com fort of knowing that when that eccentrlo Individual Is making It warm for them he Is doing it with war munitions of approved manufacture. Reflections on the Platte. Chicago Inter Ocean. The report that the Platte river Is out of its banks again must be more surprising than alarming to those who are fortunate enough to know something of that stream. It would be as difficult to And the banks of the Patte as to locate Its channel when It Is at Its high-water stage. . Let the Male Biped Beware. Bill Barlow's Budget. The seat with Which the women are going In for golfing, tennis, bowling and other forms of athletics affords room for fear that while the coming man, 'tis said, will be a bald-headed and toothless physical phantom, the coming woman will ! have nerves of steel and muscles of Iron. Let the male biped beware; let him forswear the coffin-nail cigarette-- and ' enervating birch beer, ere It be everlastingly too late. Effect of TllT KJek. Kansas City Times. The Kansas railroads have decided to abide by the decision of the State Board of Railroad Commissioners and will revoke the Increased rate on live stock, although all parties to the controversy, including the board Itself, admitted the state has no au thority, under the present law, to enforce its rulings. A defiant attitude on the part of the railroads might result in a new rail road law, and the present law ia too agree able to risk losing. World's Trlbete to England. Pittsburg Post y The tribute the world nays Great Britain In interest and dividends Is shown by oft Cclal figures from London that are elo quent The total amount of British money loaned and Invested abroad and in India and the colonies was a little over $6,000, 000.000, on which the Interest paid was $304,- 100,000, or about $107 per capita for every man, woman and child In England, Ireland and Scotland. It has taken a deal of figur ing and Investigating to arrive at these facta, but they explain why English Im ports exceed exports year after year and the country still Increases Its wealth. UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS. Progress Regrettably Slow in n Mnch Needed Reform. Philadelphia Public Ledger. The committee' of the American Bar as sociation on uniform legislation reported that twenty-two states have adopted a uniform law on negotiable Instruments, while only three have passed divorce laws which provide that persons cannot secure a divorce in any state for a cause which would not entitle them to a divorce In the state In which they reside. The business of the country is of great Importance, but ia It paramount? Is it not Juet as import ant that the marriage bond and the post tlon of the family should be established beyond doubt T Uniformity is generally regarded as Im practicable. If not impossible; but in twelve European countries the practice Is Identical by International agreement. Mr. Juatice Simeon Baldwin of the Connecticut supreme court has said: Nothing can be more important to society than that there should be certainty as to what constitutes a marriage and what dls solves It Europe Is now. In this, far in advance of the I'nlted States. A judgment of divorce may be valid and effective In one of our states which would be treated as absolutely void In another. There Is no uniformity as to conditions under which a court may assume Jurisdiction of such a proceeding. The decision of Sir Francis Jeune's court In London, in the Constantlnldl divorce case, the other day Is notice to us that we are In European eyes, or at least In the purview of the sober and orderly British courts, merely pagan in treating the mar riage Trond, which ia at the foundation of' the family and the state. Constantlnldl, a wealthy Greek merchant, domiciled fn Lon don, was granted a separation from hit wife In 1898, and the decree prohibited the remarriage of the woman, who wlahel to marry the family phyrlclan. She had heard of the 111 fame of South Dakota, hied her self thither, and, after. a six months' resi dence, wss granted an absolute divorce by the complaisant court, which decides these things with an eye single to revenue and the prosperity of the state. She mar ried again and the British court de-He 1 that this second marriage was of no force in the United Kingdom. One of the counsel In the c-e cal'el Ihs South Dakota proceeding by the harsh name of a "fraud upon civl'.lied Jurispru dence," and not a good American resents the Imputation he has put upon us. It U barbarous, and as much almost may be said of the general treatment of divorce In the United States, where nearly all the states pursue the even tenor of their re spective ways and grant divorces for dif ferent reasons In aa incoherent meaner. ROISD ABOl'T HEW YORK. HlppUa on the tnrrent of Lite in the Metropolis, With the advent of September there is passing from the streets ot tho metropolis the picturesque urchin of tender yeara who sells newspapers for a living and whose fume has gone abroad through the land for many years. That Is, the small "newsle" will pass, if the law which went Into effect on September 1 la rigidly enforced. The law provides that no male child under 10 and no girl under 16 ytars of age shall In any city of the first class sell or expose or offer for sale newspapers in any street or public place. No boy "actually or appar ently under 14 years of age" shall sell or expose for sale any newspaper unless a permit and badge have been provided by the district superintendent of the Board of Education on the application of the parent, guardian or other person having the cus tody of the boy desiring such ermlt. The district superintendent is required to ex amine, approve and place on file the satis factory proof that such boy is 10 years ef age or upward. If the proof Is satisfac tory the district superintendent may then Issue a permit and badge. The permit will contain a full description of the boy to whom it la Issued the color of his hair and eyes, his hlght and weight and any dis tinguishing facial characterlsyca. The badge must be worn conspicuously at all times while the boy Is at work. The wit and readiness at repartee of the New Tork newsboy has long been a proverb throughout the country. As a rule he Is bright and up-to-date, given to slang, some times profanity, and as a crap-shooter has few superiors. Many of the most success ful of these small news merchants are un der the prescribed age, and they form no unimportant part In the breadwlnntng econ omy of many a household In the poorer quarters of the city. Now these young sters must go to school and learn to be come good Americans In a different way.

Under the shadow of the "Waldorf, in Thirty-fourth street, there is a hotel af fected almost exclusively by "gentlemen's gentlemen," or professional valets. Fellow servants in large houses know when a valet leaves, and they report the fact to others, who In turn pass along the news. Or the servant himself, whether he be discharged or resigns, goes to the haunt of his col leagues, and It Is straightway known that his former employer wants a successor. Then the unemployed seek out the valetlees. In, this Informal Intelligence office there are no fees, ,no commissions and no charges of any kind beyond the price paid to the host for his liquor. Standing about the bar or seated around the tables In the parlor the business which, combined with tlje pleasure, brings the men to the place Is transacted. The proprietor's profits come from the in crease In the bar reoejpts. Then there are always valets enough out of employment to fill his three floors of rooms above the bar. So he la not disposed to grumble. A. I. Voorhees. a farmer living on the Jersey side, turned a trick on a brace of confidence men last week. Early In the morning a well groomed stranger drove up to the voorhees residence and asked If the Voorhees property was for sale. Voorhees told him that the farm could be bought, and the stranger was shown through the house and a tour was made of the farm. The prospective purchaser seemed to be pleased with the lay of the land and was going over the details of a bargain when a man coming down the road stopped them and asked the way toNew Brunswick. He claimed to be from Alabama and said that he had lost his way. The fellow pretended to be Insane and pulled a roll of greenbacks and a pack of cards out of his pocket. At the sight ot the cards Voorhees became suspicious. The man with the roll said he wanted to get rid of the money, but could find nobody to take It. He handed each of the men In the carriage a to bill. Voorhees stuck the greeback In his vest pocket and. Jumping out of the carriage, bade the men good-bye, telling them that the game was too old for that locality. The man from Alabama suddenly recovered his reason and leaping Into the carriage he was rapidly striven away, swearing a blue streak as he went. WHAT MAKES FOR HAPPIXESS. Pleasure Can Be Bought, bnt Enjoy ment ie a Different Article. Harper's Weekly. We are used to feel to put it crudely that folks who have health and money ought to be happy. And so they should. A sufficient income promotes comfort, and that contributes to cheerfulness of spirit; and to have health of course means to feel well, and that is a long step toward feeling good. But how far do we have to look to find persons with health to squander and more money than they know how to spend making strenuous efforts to attain happi ness and merely achieving impaired health T If you have health and money you can usually buy pleasure, but enjoyment is a different article; and even when you have got enjoyment happiness may still elude you. Pleasure palls and sometimes demor alizes; enjoyment easily yields to weari ness; but you don't get tired of being happy, and you may be ever so tired and be happy still. Happiness Is a state of satisfaction. One reason why It Is so elusive may be because we human creatures are a complication of body, mind and spirt, and require for our complete satisfaction a particularly nice djustment of blessings and of comfort. If we Indulge the body too much the other two partners become mutinous; If we over cultivate the mind the body may break down, and If we bestow all our attention on mind and body, the spirit. Ignored, taken a sure vengeance on us for our neglect. It Is so difficult so to measure and direct our efforts as to appease all the demands of our triplicate natures that the simpler way la to regard happiness as a by-product, give over all direct attempts to acquire a con slant sSpply of It and simply accept how ever much of It may come while we go about our" business with such Intelligence as we can. We can usually keep our bodies In fair repair if we are not too laty or too self-indulgent; If we have to arn our Uv Ings our minda, and bodies, too, find occu pation that is usually wholesome; and the discipline of work done, as it usually Is, for others as wail as for ourselves, helps to satisfy the exactions of the spirit TALK. OF TUB STATE FHEM. Mullen Tribune: Judge J. B. Barnes of Norfolk was nominated by acclamation for supreme judge by the . republican state convention at Lincoln. It was but a fitting tribute to Nebraska's able Jurist and du re n and his majority this fall will be ex ceedingly large. Wausa Gazette: The many bouquets thrown at Judge Barnes by the press In all parts ot the state would indicate that he is a pjpular favorlto with the people and not the dreaded corporation tool, forced onto the party by the railroads, aa the World-Herald would make It appear. Wahoo Wasp: It took 111 ballots for the State Board of Education to decide on Kearney aa the location for the new nor mal achaol for which the last legislature appropriated 360,000. We are of the opinion that the selection of Kearney will give pretty general satisfaction throughout the state. O'Neill Frontier: Just thirty-nine coun ties out of a total of ninety counties in Ne braska were represented at the Grand Island convention, and the counties that had representation there were only repre sented by from one to two and three per sons from each county, except in about half a dozen Instances, where, counties had as many as five or six. Stanton Picket: 'Notwithstanding the convention statement of Judge Sullivan that Judge Barnes is a gentleman, a scholar and an able lawyer, there are those of his party who will not see It that way and are dis charging mud batteries loaded to the mux sla In Mr. Barnes' direction. Some editors appear to think their bread and butter de pends upon their abuse of opposing candi dates. The more abuse-the more bread and butter. Wausa Gazette: Chairman Lindsay of the republican state central committee has given out the statement that the campaign this fall will be carried on with as much energy and effort as if the outcome was actually In doubt. There will thus be lit tle chance of the fusion forces finding the republicans napping. Moreover, a thorough campaign this fall will pave the way for a so much more glorious victory next year. Dakota City Eagle: James C. Robinson of Hartlngton, republican nominee for Judge ot the Eighth judicial district, was In town last Thursday seeing his old friends and acquaintances and making new ones as well. Mr, Robinson having been state senator at one time bas a wide aqualntanoe throughout this district. He la a scholarly gentleman and makes friends as fast as acquaintances wherever he goes. His election to the bench Is a foregone conclusion. Kearney Hub: State Superintendent Fow ler comments on the increase In the pro portion qf women teachers In the state. Last year, he states, the number of male teachers was. 18 per cent, whereas this year it will be between 18 and 17 per cent. Un doubtedly the opportunities In more lucra tive employments are responsible for the decrease. It Is easy to agree with the superintendent's conclusion that the teach ing profession Is becoming more and more the province of women. Fremont Tribune 1 Some friend of State Chairman Harry Lindsay should have In troduced In the republican state convention resolution endorsing him for the position of United States district attorney, to which he aspires and for which he already has as fine a line of endorsements as any man ever had. It would have gone through with a whoop and would have shown once more what Nebraska republicans think of the action of Senator Joseph H. Millard In keeping Billy Summers, the friend of Joe Bartley, la .the place. . Albion News; The Nebraska Independent, which has stuck to populism through thick and thin for these many years, asserts that the death-blow was administered the party by the recent action at Grand Island, not In the matter of the nominations, but In its failure to endorse the work of the recent Denver conference. The Independent Insists that this action "can have no other logical conclusion than the abandonment of the populist organization in Nebraska, if no steps be taken to counteract the effect of the convention's body-blow." O'Neill Frontier: Those people who met In convention at Grand Island remind us of the doctor who Insists on going to see his patient after he gets well and then tries to collect the bill for the extra and needless visits. During the hard times produced by democratic administrations the people did get sick financially and were looking for political doctors, but since the republicans got into power and times became good again the people have no further use for political doctors, and when these bogus political doctors under take to collect their bill on election day they will find the people refuse to deliver the goods, and will not pay for .the useless visit to Grand Island. Tllden Citizen: Judge Barnes, the re publican candidate for Judge of the supreme court, Is known and respected in this lo cality aa a well equipped lawyer, a gentle man and a consistent republican. All the silly stuff printed in democratic and popu list papers against him Is simply, waste of good printers' Ink where the Judge Is known. The chief point attempted to be made in the editorials is that, he being the only candidate before the convention and his nomination belag unanimous, he la therefore the tool of all the railroads doing business in Nebraska. With the same pro priety and with as much reason, republi cans might charge that Inasmuch as Judge Sullivan's nomination was made under pre cisely the same conditions he Is therefore the hireling of the soulless corporations that have ground down the farmers of the state until their land isn't worth less than IM an acre. Substitute "our man Sullivan" for "our man Barnes" In the World-Herald and Its Imitators' columns of non sensical political rubbish and the yellow republican newspapers ' would have their slogan ready made for the campaign al ways supposing that such a monstrosity as an Impertinent blackguard could be found editing a republican newspaper In this state. .
