Higfc of all in Leraaiog PowersLate U. & Gov't Report
ABMUmCY PURE
Mr. Mandereon announce that he does
not want his name presented at tit.
Louis until McKinley is out of the way
and psace would be restored. This is
reasonable and fair. Nobody knows better
than Maoderson that it would be use
less to present his name until McKinley
k disposed of. If McKinley is going to
be nominated Mandereon cannot block
the way. If he is defeated, then will be
the time to bring out Mr. Mandereon.
Farmers and others who left Nebraska
in the last two years are reported to be
making their way back to this state. A
any field for it In this city the officers
of the Army of the Lord have been un
successful in their attempt to make a
short cut to righteousness, or rather
to lead the multitude through a short
cut to righteousness. Cleanliness is
next to Godliness, In Lincoln the army
has sought to make the people Godly
before making them cleanly.
A noticeable feature of the local busi
ness situation is the fact that people are
no longer complaining as they were u
year ago. The change from prosperity
to adversity was so sudden that it took
aignitiaent fact in this connection is that ra j00g time to get over the shock. From
these people left with some money in
their pockets and are coming bBck
empty-handed and empty-pocketed.
The ministers of this city arc taking
a proper interest in the life about tbem.
Through the Ministerial association they
comneud the Lincoln system of voting,
call for the enforcement of the law
against gambling and the associated
erik, aBd protest against the opening
of the armory at the state university for
dasciBg purposes. Ministers still follow
the tradition that it k sinful to dance.
Maybe it k, under certain conditions.
Maay things that are constitutionally
harmless asd wholesome are rendered
harmful by environment or circum
staBce. I qH estion if there was any in
tea Uob to give dances in the armory,
aad it k doubtless just as well that
Bone be given there; but the implica
tion is the resolution adopted at the
ministers meeting will strike many per
sons as being unjust.
The Nebraska club, the executive
committee of which met in Lincoln thk
week, k one of the powerful agencies
bow at work in the development and
crystallization of state pride and patriot
ism. Standing up for Nebraska in
these days k something more than a
meaningless phrase. There is activity
aud patriotism back of it.
Cha scellor Canfield too't an active in
terest in university athletics, and Chan
cellor MacLean. to bis credit be it said,
made early recognition of this healthy
asd healthful element of college life.
Last November the chancellor appointed
a faculty committee on athletics con
sisting of Dr. Ward, Captain Guilfoyle
and Dr. Clark. Afterwards Prof. Fling
aad Prof. Barbour were added to the
committee. Under the system sow in
vogue at the university both te faculty
aad students share the responsibility for
athletic management, and there k as
surance that the best interests of the
university and the students will be
subserved thereunuer.
The Salvation Army up to the pres
ent timer has beeu notable for its discip
line and close organization. But schism
has overtaken it. What will be the ef
fect of the split 'time alone can tell.
Some people have been surprised at the
preauaeace gives to the army by the
newspapers during the recent disturb:
aace. Here is Lincoln where the army
oonsists nf a hilf dram earnest ofKcers
aad a straggling corps of unwashed re
oruUa, wedo not understand the real
iapertaBce of the organisation. The
SalTatieB Army has done great work la
large cities. Oa the whole it has baea
sisgwlarly successful. 1b towss as small
Liaesla. where thaw k bo industrial
fpf latka, there sWasBQt as to be
the spring of 1893 to the fall of 1895
there was a gloom over everything.
Business men were discouraged, and
ready to give up. Very recently there
has been a dktmct change in the feel
ing. Thought has succeeded fright.
Business men have determined to
adjust themselves to the conditions.
They have quit complaining and
are making extra efforts to meet the
emergency. It k generally conceded
that the prodigal period will never re
turn, that it will be harder to make
money than it waa in the past. But
sensible people are fully convinced that
Nebraska is going to continue to pros
per, that Lincoln will grow and develop,
and they are reconciled to the idea that
a greater effort is necessary than waa
necessary in the past. In thk city and
all over the state the people have settled
down to the idea that it is not possible
that Nebraska will fall away
in productiveness, and they are
confident the future will bring
gocd timee. Wo are beginning
to get accustomed to the changed con
ditions. It is a fact that there haB been
more activity in Lincoln real estate the
last three months than was manifest in
any similar period in the last year and
a half.
Mr. Blodgett's case suggests tie idea
that there is often bigger fish in the
stream than those that are hooked
and this is no expression of opinion on
his guilt or innocence; neither is it an
"attempt to impede the course of jus
tice." THE EDITOR
Allen.
The friends of the Hon. Ventus Allen
senator in congress from Nebraska,
venerate his talents, but complain of
bk disposition to put a bushel over the
same, says the New York Sun. He has
gifts, a voice of long range, a chastening
eloquence, and one of the largest
collections of views on all subjects
known to statisticians. And yet he is
so bashful, so paralyzed by stage fright,
so blind to hk great capacities, that he
doesn't address the senate more than
eighty-three timee a day and at all the
hours thereof. What the Hon. Ventus
Allen needs is more. confidence.

The Lincoln News accuses Col. Bud
Lindsay of purchasing the Graphic for
hk delegate boom. Nay, Dobbins, the
wheels in your cavern need oiling. We
are not personally acquainted with
"Bud,"' but the many flattering remarks
we have heard about him, we have
come to the conclusion that he is the
proper man for delegate to the national
convention. We also wkh to inform
you that no one writes for the Graphic
but the immortal John R. We reserve
the right to roast or puff a man as we
see fit and to preach his funeral or give
him a through ticket to h just as
our conscious strikes us. Firth
