Time to End the Masquerade.
Thn status of tho populist party In
Nebraska with reference to com
manding a separate party name on
tho official ballot (s said to bo lit
doubt. The truth is the name and
livery of tho populist party has been
regularly purloined bjy tho demo
crats for at least a dozen years, and
used all that time by the receivers
of stolen goods meroly for the pur
ine of practicing deception upon the
voters.
A continuance of this masquerade
of democrats, misbranding them
selves as populists, Is n brazen fraud
which self-respecting members of tho
party cannot Justify and ought not to
countenance. It is a fraud that
should hare been scotched long ago,
and should be ended once and for all
right now.

The Trespasser Problem.
As shown by The Bee some time
ago, altogether too largo a propor
tion of the total number of railroad
casualties was duo to trespassing,
and too many of those killed or In
jured on railroads were people with
no business about the trains or
tracks.
The trouble Is that this fact In not
cloar'jv understood by the public fit
large. Tho people as a whole nave
not had occasion to go Into the sub
set and consequently do not realize
tho extent of the trespasser problem.
It would seem, under tho circum
stances, a good plan tor the railroads
to aid In getting the facts before the
nubile. Why not Institute a cam-
palgn of education along this lino?
Surely even from a purely monetary
(standpoint it would pay tho corpora
Hons, and it certainly would be a
humanitarian thing to do.
The responsibility and blame for
the trespasser problem rest on both
the railroad and tho public and, as
Usual, neither is taking the active
stops needod to meet it.

Tho failure of a small state sav

with a failed national bank Is- fur
nishing tho first practical test of our

total possible claims of the deposl

that thoy'will bo eventually wholly

is worth noting, however, that tills
failure is laid not to any withdraw

fear, but to Insldo diversions that
have depleted tho assots. What this
test Is demonstrating, however, is
the conservatism of tho Nobraska

Twice Told Tales
Hiram Held Back.
Tho bashful lover of the cabbage aone

of New Hampshire told of Hiram and
Abigail.
For fifteen year Hiram ahd courted
Abigail, calling twice a weok and taking
her to country dences and strawberry
festivals, but in all that time Hiram said
naught about leading the dear one to tho
preacher.
Finally Abigail decided that Hiram was
a trifle slow In proposing and, setting It
down to his bashful nature, she decide 1
to help him along.
"Hiram," said she one evening to the
bashful swain, who was sitting in a far
away corner of the parlor, ' what do you
suppose people are saying?"
"Denied if I know, Abble," answered
Hiram, thoughtfully. "Thl-y ain't pre
dict! a hard winter, are they?"
"No," blushlngly responded Abigail,
they aro saying that you and I are go
ing to be married very soon."
"Yo don't mean it!" was the unex
pected rejoinder of Hiram. "Won't they

As to the Shopmen's Strike.
OMAHA. March 10.-To tho Editor of
The Bee: Let mo answer your art'ele: "If
the mine workers have paid $,000,000 In
striko benefits, wonder how much was
paid to tho Union Pacific shop men since
they went out on the strike" over two
years ago?
I am not In a position to know the ex
act amount that was paid, but I would
estimate at least three times that of the
mlno workers. One not knowing the true
conditions of tho strike will naturally
ask If It pays for ft strike that cost co
much. No, it doesn't pay the individual
striker who was in many cases receiving
$100 per month, or more, before the strike
and who la now paid $1S or $C0 per month
in strike benefits. But it docs pay to
the shopmen on other roads who are
paying $1 per month assessment tor the
Harrlman lines shop men's strike and
these men In many cases have had their
Pay Increased In the last two years in
spile of the slack season in the railroad
industry. This increase would not have
been possible If tho Harriman lines shop
men hadn't gone on the strike, because
these idle mechanics, who have taken the
places of the Union Pacific strikers,
would have been depended on by these
railroads the same as the Union Pacific
depended on them.
I also wish to state that since the call
ing of the Union Pacific strike, thirty-
five railroads have recognised the shop
men's union, which the Union Pacific re
fused to do, and which was the cause of
the strike. ONLY A STRIKER.

tho total rattle 6f all crops raised in

$500,000,000. Ho goes into mlnuto

general conclusion that for the most
part those diseases are preventable.

Air. Lever conceives it to bo neces
sary to show what the farmer has

order to impress on congress tho

Surely It will be granted that, aside

prosperity Is essential to that of his
country, ills country ought to mote
clearly than over at this particular
time Bee the extrcmo importance of
affording htm every reasonable aid
and co-operation in Improving the

Our disordered economic condi

and rightly so, to the failure to keop
our sources of supply up to our con

certainly should do all within Its
power to aid the farmer In the solu
tlon of his problems.
