Nothing to Conceal.

Chairman Harrity is right when he says
the Democracy has nothingto conceal about
this coming campaign This is to be a
campaign of principle by the people and for
the people. There is no occasion for sharp
practice-there never is-and the fight must
be openand above board. The position of
the party is well defined, and because of it's
position 1T asks the support of all friends of
good government. When Democracy has
won its victory, as it seems certain it will,
the people will know just what to expect

Mckinley q Democratic Vote Maker.

The Leader believes that Mr.. McKinley's
speeches in Nebraska have made and will
make thousands of votes for the Demo-
cratic party. The average voter will read
lily and rightly conclude that if this great
apostle of protection can offer in support of
10 per cent tariff on necessities no rea-
son nor argument other than the dishonest
and absurd assertion that the tariff tax is
paid by the foreigner and that such tax
does not increase the price to the consumer,
then indeed must modern protection be in

ilcan rule it was not expected they would
ask, but then it was just as well to be pro-
vided for emergencies.
This is what occurred: The contractor
secured certificate, say for one forty of
land at 81. IS per acre, which would amount
to $50 for the forty. He would pay one
fourth, or $3.50 down, and go to work and
strip the forty of its timber. 1t must be
remembered that only the most valuable
land was sought out and taken in this way,
the pine on it being worth generally all the
way from $50 to 500 per acre. Taking it at
the lowest figure, one of these forty-acre
tracts would be worth s., 900 in good mer-
charitable pine. The trespasser might be
caught This is merely to illustrate, as it
seldom happened. On his certificate he
owed the government $3.50. According
to the penalty imposed in the law he would
have to pay double $3.50 or SIS. 90 and be
given clear title to the land and permitted
to Ego hence and do likewise" again. Re-
sult-S2,O 900 worth of pine that cost the con-
tractor less than 800, the full penalty of the
law and the price of the land included.
That the Sawyer regency and it's ring of
lumber barons throve under Republican
supremacy is too well known to prevent
any attempt at denial. How they were en-
abled to pile up big fortunes is shown. 1t
is not hard to discover where the sinews of
war came from which enabled the regency
to dominate the state so long. A man who
was getting $1,000 for 500 could afford to
be liberal in the matter of campaign funds.
They were,
In the light of cold facts now unearthed
the Republican speeches of two years ago
in defense of ''the little red school house"
sound like double-distilled irony.
1t cannot be asserted in defense that these
frauds were carried on under cover. They
were so open that every one connected with
the state service would have discovered
them with their eyes shut had they not de-
hberately turned in another direction. How

What Is Wrong with It?

If the Mckinley law is not responsible
for strikes neither is it to be credited with
avertmg them. Ever stree the law went
into operation there have been continuous
strikes in protected industries. And mas
much as the law is made for the protection
of labor, the people who are paying the
expense of it are quite right in asking
what is wrong with it.-Toledo Bee.

A most singular fact is that as the school
lands decreased, the number of timber
agents increased. In 1871 "four clerks"
were thought sufficient to protect these
lands; while in 1890, after the best timber
had been stolen and the best lands disposed
of, "eight agents" were on the roll. The
salaries and expenses of these agents for the
Six-year term were as follows.

Made RICH BY ROBBERY
How the Public Schools of the State
Were Robbed of Their Income.
THEIR PATRIMONY DESPOlLED BY
GREEDY LUMBER BARONS-

The SpOliation Not Only Winked at by
Republican Officials, but Assisted by
Carefully Drawn Laws-Discoveries
Made Since the Democrats Came into
Power-Diferent State of Things Now
School Funds Carefully Invested and
School Lands Protected from Thieves or
Damage from any Cause.
While Governor Peck's administration
has saved to the people over 500, 900 which,
under Republican rule would have gone
into the private pockets of party barnacles,
it has been of immense value to the tax
payers of the state by unearthing the nu-
merous schemes by which the Sawyer ring
plundered the state domain under cover of
accommodating and acquiescent governors.
The biggest sufferer was the public school
fund. 1t is a question, in the light of re-
cent revelations, whether the Republican
party was more in earnest in its defense of
the Bennett law than it was in fear that its
raids on "the little red school house" would
be discovered when the books passed into
other hands.
The general government provided mag
nificently for the public schools. 1t gave
large grants of land to the state for the
purpose Of furnishing a superb educational
fund. 1t was a splendid patrimony that
should have furnished continually grow
ing income to the schools of the state That
such is not the case is the fault of the
alleged friends of the "little red school
house," who two years ago raised the cry
that it would be engulfed if wave of Dem
ocratic success swept over the state.
The wave came and the schoolhouse
stands firmer today than it ever did before.
This is shown by the accounts of the school
and trust funds at the end of twenty-one
months of Democratic administration. The
comparison which follows is taken from
official figures:

wants to be of some assistance to the
country during this session of con-
gress. He has tired of telling the
people of America about suffering
Kansas and now turns his attention
to Indiana, President Harrison's
state: He has introduced a bill in

the people of Indiana, s1,ooo,ooo al
per cent. Why he should select q
prosperous state like Indiana is 8
mystery, but we persume the money
is intended to be used by the farmers

because the county treasurer of Ward
county withdrew the county funds from

posit funds. We publish the following

are the largest depositor at Coopers-

lately that thought would write you
a letter and say to you that deposit in
the First Bank of Cooperstown is as
safe place rs man can put his
money in the United States. am worth
a pretty handsome sum of money and
do not owe man cent in the world.
OF course if you take money on deposit
you must loan it out for the sake Of
paying the expenses of the bank and If
anybody can frighten the depositors
they will make a stampede ard it is i'm
possible to raise the money in one min
ute. I had a run on two banks and
the safe locked up tight of another ono,
and we hayc paid all Cur depositors
who wished the money and could pay
more of them if they wanted it. l
thought would just write you this in a
friendly manner.

Hnlley's Comet.

Edmund HALEY, who died late in the
seventeenth century, or about two hun.
dred years ago, was one of the most
distinguished astronomers of his gcner.
alton, and the first to calculate the ex.
act time when the comet which was
named fol him would return. This
comet, however, was not discovered by
him, for the first record we have Of its
appearance was in 1856, just as the
Turks had taken Constantinople. Great
fears were entertained that they would
invade Europe, and the superstitious
supposed the comet portended such a
disaster. Accordingly the then christ
ian world added to their daily prayer
-"Lord save us from the devil, the
Turks and the comet" OF the several
hundred comets that have been noted,
we believe there are only about twenty
which appear at regular intervals. The
most noticeable pecularity of comets is
their unreliabllity. A good railroad is
just the opposite, and of such Is The
Burlington, with an unrivaled record
for making its stations on time and
covering vast extent of territory.
