J5?31S5535hBhi8h-w9m THE COURIER. Highest of aU in Leavening Power, Latest U. S. Gov't Report Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE Roi to attempt to commit an offense of this enormity. But 6uch waB the fact. No wonder that councilir.en quivered with excitement. No wonder that the fire engines hud to be called out to cool the ardor of the outraged authorities. Think of it, a bow window, right in the center of the city. And extendingout a dozen IncheB over the sidewalk, too! And this in a city where we boast of universities and culture and other things It was too much, or as the coun cil men said, "too much." O. course the order to suspend all further work was immediately given. Might as well discbarge the police force and give carte blanche, whatever that is, to the gambling houses and the saloons and the brothels, as to allow builders to per petrate projecting bay window?. It would never do. Today the new building of the Union Savings bank on North Eleventh street, a picture of which was recently printed in The Cccriek, 6tands a ruin, re sembling a palace in Pompeii after the eruption. Now and then a councilman passes by, a happy, contented smile lighting his dignified countenance. Hurrah for good government! Mr. Metcalfe, of the World-H erald. thinks that my remarks about Crounse's course, anent the late republican state convention, in seeking to obtain the favor of aliens such as Piatt and Quay at the expense of the good will of his own neighbors, the republicans of Ne braska, is susceptible of application to the men in this state who favored Mc Kinley and opposed Mandereon. It is respectfully submitted that it takes a somewhat vivid imagination to see any similarity between the advocacy of Mc Kinley by Nebraska republicans and the hysterical conduct of ex Governor Crounse in berating Senator Thurston The men in this state who were work ing for McKinley at no time felt that they were working against the interests of the state, or the repuolican party of the Btate. They knew that McKinley was the choice of nine-tenths of the re publican voters of the commonwealth, and they believed in "standing up for Nebraaka"by f urtheringthe wishes of an overwhelming majority of the people of Nebraska. There was no disloyalty to any Nebraskan in the advocacy of Mc Kinley. For two years sentiment in the republican party in tms state has been crystallized in favor of the Ohio candi date. The party was committed to Mc Kinley long before General Manderson determined to be a candidate, and not withstanding the general confidence in the sincerity of Manderson himself dis cerning republicans saw in the Mander son candidacy.not an effort to secure the elevation of a Nebraskan, but a move ment instigated by Senator Allisou and other anti-McKinley leaders, to defeat the wishes of Nebraska republicans. Time has shown pretty conclusively that that conclusion was correct. There never was at any time in the ante-convention campaign any desire to humiliate Gen eral Manderson or to do anything that would in any way injure him. It was seen that nothing could be gained for Mandersou by taking up his candidacy. It was seen that the movement bad its oriirin outside of Nebraska and was for the benefit" of persons other than Ne-braekans. Ex-Governor frounce inattemplingto secure the favor of Matthew Stack-em-up Quay and Thomw6 Corral em Piatt by attacking Senator Thuiston in a bit ter, malignant spirit, placed himself in a hostile attitude before the entire re publican party of Nebraska. It will be remembereu that his resolution was unanimously defeated. On the other hand the McKinley republicans in this state were at all times acting in accord ance with the wishes of the party hen-; as witness the vote for presidential pref erence in Lincoln, Beatrice and else where. Back of the McKinley agitation in Nebraska there was a strong, patriotic impulse. Back of the Crounse i emou 6t rat ion there was envy, hatred, nalig nancy. The New York Voice sajs: "Wonder if Ed Roggen.of the late Nebraska Bank ers and Business Men's association, didn't have something to do with the late Spanish elections in Cuba. His handiwork was Btrikingly apparent. "' It appears from this that E. Ponderous Roggen is quite as well known in New York as he is in Nebraska. There was something peculiar about the elections iu Cuba, and the Voice might well have imagined that Roggen was in the vicin ity. But the truth is Mr. Roggen was in Nebraska all the time. We know a good thing when we see it, here in Ne braska, and we have learned to hold fast to that which is good. We saw Roggen a good many years ago, and we have kept him with us ever since. He is much too good to Bend to Cuba. He is all right in Omaha. Silas Adipose Hikombis a gooa man, and he is doubtless well qualified for duties of some sort. Bat bis forte is not the gubernatorial role. Silas Adipose has had trouble all around him ever since be settled his ponderous frame in the executive chair. It has been dem onstrated to the satisfaction of every Imdy, possibly excepting Si'as Adipose himself, that be is a very dismal failure. No governor of Nebraska was 60 un fortunate in his appointments. Under no governor has there been such an ac cumulation of state institution scandals. 1 he public is tired of reading of the disgraceful proceedings at the various institutions, the superintendents of which were appointed by Governor Hoi comb. Most of these appointees have not only 6hown themselves singularly lacking in ability, but have added im moral conduct to inefficiency. Populism has had a fair trial and it has been made pretty dear that, whatever may be its merits, it is not adapted to the purposes of government. In Color ado populism filled a number of high offices, to the great scandal of the state. In Kansas, at one time, the populists bad possession of ntarly all the import ant offices, and the records show that with scarcely an exception populistic encumbeucy was accompanied by serious maladministration and scandal. In Nebraska populist ascendency al most invariably meant official ineffi ciency. Governor Holcomb may console him self with the thought that his troubles will soon be over. Major McKinley's strength ae a presi dential candidate is being put to the most severe test these days. As the leading candidate for the republican nomination he has the closely combined opposition of all other candidates. Quay in Pennsylvania, Platte in New York, Clarkson iu Iowa, Manley in Maine, and the great practical politicians o every state in the union, exceptingOhio, are against McKinley. He is forced to meet the veiled warfare of the most cunning, powerful and desperate politi cal despotism that this country has, per haps, ever known.
