Senator Edmuuds says the farmers
alliance movement is only a temporary
fever. Has the senator forgotten the

The United States builds warehouses
to accommodate those who deal in the
product Of foreign labor: why can it not
build warehouses to aid in the exchange

The other day we had talk with a
money loaner about the vacant dwell
l:ngs in Wichita. He expressed great
sympathy for the poor widows and
orphans back east" who had been de-
ceived into loaning money on these
houses and now couldn't get even.
Poor widows: poor orphans, who have
money 10 lend on western real estate;
how they must suffer! Oh bosh.-Amer-
lean NOncOnfOrmist.
A political paper that contains no.
thing but a defense Ola party right or
wrong, and abuse of an opposing party,
is unworthy public patronage. An edi-
tor is unworthy the title if, in these
times of social and political corruption,
he can find no evil to oppose, no prin-
ciple to develop. no truths to impress
upon the public mind. Defending a
policy of political expendiency for
Doodle has demOralized the old party
press.-Nonconformist.
The Argentine Republic has decided
to issue notes against silver held in
reserve, to be legal tender for all
future obligations. 1t is expected that
law will be passed declaring invalid
all contracts STIMULATING other than the

Last week. some 200 of the leading
democrats of this congressional district
met at Hastings, to try and patch up
the democratic party, and bridge over
Boyd. They passed unanimous resolu-
lions endorsing James E. Boyd and
Governor Boyd, and the administration
of Governor Boyd; but when they re-
solved to endorse the veto of the New
berry bill some forty kicked and voted
against it, but the resolution passed
just the same So you see the leading
democrats are sustaining that veto;
and Boyd was exactly in line with the
leadership when he defeated that law.
Every man who stands with that party
must swallow it. Do you hear?-Head-
light, Stromsburg, Neb.

The safety of the people is the Sill
preme demand of the government.
With the homes of 20 per cent of the
