The time for holding conventions is
rapidly approaching. We trust that
the claims of individual office seekers

the sll-absorbing topic of thought.

MANY farmers have q hesitancy
about selling their cream to the
creameries, but they are, according to
all reports, fast learning that it is
about the correct thing to thus dis
pose of their milk. 1t pays fully as
we'll, If not better, than to attempt to
make butter on q small scale, and it
relieves the good housewife of heap
Of hard work and vexation of spirit.
Some farmers have been experiment.
ing in this matter to determine satis-
factorily for themselves the best plan
to pursue, and all accounts thus far
coming under our notice have been
in favor of selling the milk. Evil
dence is not wanting in those com.
munities where creameries have been
long established to show that the
farmer is largely benefited by them.
1t is demonstrated in hundreds of
instances in our neighboring state of
Iowa, where these institutions have
long been in operation, and 1t will
be shown just as cOnclusively in this
state in coming years. The creamery
business in Nebraska is comparative
ly in it's infancy, but the industry is
rapidly coming to the front, and the
time is not far distant when produc-
ers, if they have any doubts about the
most profitable channel through
which to utilize their milk, will doubt
no more. Let the work of establish
ing creameries 60 on, and while they
are sure to prove profitable to the
men who conduct them, they will
likewise be good institutions for those
upon whom they rely for the raw
material.--Omdha Republican.

The San Francisco Post sounds

While we have not been prema-
ture in suggesting Democratic
nominations, and while We have
seen Journals whose energies have
been devoted to hamstringing the
Democratic party, year in and
year out, mapping out the pro-
gramme for that organization, we
nevertheless deem 1t our duty, at
rare intervals, to give some evil
dence of the faith that Is in US, and
we regard 1t as but perfunctory
obligation to suggest that the DEM
ocratic party is neither dead nor
sleeping. We have heard great
deal about the "machine leaders"
of the Democratic party. BY that
term is probably meant Democrats
who inherit from two to three gen.
erations OF Democracy. who have
never sold out and who don't mean
to sell out, their honest, ingrained
and inherited Democracy. 1t has
probably an obliqne reference to
partizans who have been sturdy
and consistent. We have been
treated to all the changes upon
this term Of the "machine Demo.
cratic leaders," The probability is
that the meanest Of the lot never
sought any utilization with the
prize black guard of oil ages, Denis
Kearney. While we concede to
all men the right to the most abso-
lutte possession Of their opinions,
we are constrained to confess that
no man was ever led, by either his
moral or intellectual impulses, into
the Kearney camp. Demag0gy,
pure and simple, only could carry
him there. We claim that We
have exercised o rare moderation
