Senator Henderson has secured harmony
In the Nebraska congressional delegation in
the matter Of public buildings, aud as a re-
suit Hastings Is likely to get government
building at this session. Mr.. Henderson
deserves credit for this, as no buildings
could have been secured II each man had
been pulling In o different direction II Ne

We were promised good times, 'good
old Democratic times" when the Demo-
Gratis got into power. Times have been
getting worse ali tho time for year. But
U the times continue TO grow worse for
three years more perhaps we will reach
the "good old Democratic times by the
end of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Ind,

"For ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain, commend us to the present adj
ministration," is the way leading Demo-
Gratis speak Of the appointment Of Romeyn,
OF Detroit, as consul to Chill. Ono OF the
members OF Congress was heard TO say the
other day that Cleveland was spelling what
little chance the Democracy had Of carrying
Michigan. --[Semi- Weekly Republican, Man

The congressional fight In this district
was virtually settled ON Tuesday, when
White county instructed for the Hon. X. w.
TownsheDd. This ends the candidacy OF
Mr.. Williams, who would have made n
better fight than he did had II not been for
some OF his bad advisers In this county.
Mr.. Townshend deserves a unanimous re-

ceive, and the Leader desires now to con-
graduate its Democratic friends in the
nineteenth district for their good sense and
sound judgment IN standing SO nobly by a
gentleman who is an honor 10 the district
he represents, and also to the state In which
the district is located. Mr.. Townshend
has at all times and under all circumstances
been steadfast friend OF the soldier, and
as long as this district Is so largely Demo-
cratic, the soldiers In II will naveno cause for
complaint II the party is always represented
by such an able man and warm friend as he
has proven himself to be.-ILeader, Nc
Leansboro, Ill.
The Washington Post (Dem.l observes
that "the Democratic party. Is not agreed
to-day upon any matter In which the people
OF this country take a rational INTEREST,"
In that case the Democratic party should
put Itself on a streteher aud be taken 10
the hospital for repairs.-.tDaily Union,

Commissioner Sparks, the NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN suggests, ought TO be transferred
to marine bureau. He has failed so
egregiously In land decisions that II is time
for him to try water.-[ Western World, Wa

Mr.. Powderly's promise that every mem
Der OF the knights OF Labor who has aided
In the destruction OF property will be ex-
PEELED from the order viii, ii fulfilled, do
much toward establishing the order In the
sympathies and well wishes OF the people
at large. That workingmen have the right
to combine their efforts for their own good
no reasonable person can deny, but that
acknowledgement does not imply that they
have right either to destroy property or
TO forcibly prevent other persons from earn
ing their living as they may see nt.-Isterl-
