NOTWITHSTANDING the colo
shoulder that congress appears to
be turning toward Coxey and his
army, there is a steady growth Of
sympathy for the common veal as
it approaches Washington. and in
sundry sections they are thinking
Of sending up a memorial to Speak
er Crisp and his bear garden, pray
ing that when the army arrives
the house will turn its hall over to
them, let Coxey take the speakers
chair and give them a months
trial at running the country. The
petitioners do not really believe
that 1T will do much good, but
they are curious to know if it is
possible to get a crowd Of three OF
four hundred Americans together
that will do any worse than the
democratic house has done for the
interests Of tie country. It may
be that this curiosity is pardona-

The following from the Pals
ade Times has the true ring to it,
and states the case faithfully:
awe r sorry to see the Nc
Cook Times-D Democrat, which we
have heretofore admired, apeing
the Omaha Bees tactics in fight
ing w. E. Andrews for the con-
gressional nomination. The Times
Democrats treatment of Mr..
Andrews is grossly unfai1, and we
cannot help thinking that it knows
it. Two years ago Mr.. Andrews
a ahead Of Gov. Crounse and
every candidate on the republican
state ticket in every county Of the
district. If that does not show
him to be a vote winner we would
like for the Times-D Democrat to
tell us what one is. If the Times
Democrat hasn't the figures we
can furnish them. The Times
Democrat doesn't have to support
Mr.. Andrews if it doesn't want to-,
but the tactics it is using in fight
ing him will not make any friends
for it's candidate, whoever he may
prove to be-"

following is q sample of his humor:
"Give the republican editors of
this part Of the state a show. We
nominate the following infallible
ticket for the fall campaign: For
Governor, F. M. Kimmell, Of the
McCook Tribune; Lieutenant Gov
ernor, w. T. Brickey, Of the
Frenchman Valley Times; Secre-
tary Of State, J. F. Haskin, of the

Attorney General, Col Peterson,
Of the McCook Times-D Democrat
Commissioners of public lands
and buildings, NJ. J. Abbott Of the
Hayes County Republican, and
c.. W. Barnes of the McCook
Times Democrat. The above is
the handsomest aggregation pos
sible to get together in the state.
When they + elected we are
sure they will not permit the ed
itor Of this paper to suffer in any
way because fame has spread the
olive branch upon their placid
brows."

For a Christmas Dinner,

North Clifton in Nottinghamshire,
England, is situated on the banks OF
the Trent, and boasts OF one custom
the like OF which exists probably no
where else in England. There is a
ferry across the river. but if you and
!, gentle reader, wished to 20 from
one side OF the stream to the other,
we could do so on payment of a fee.
But the Cllftonians are a favored
folk, and are entitled to the free use
Of the ferry on the condition that
they give the ferryman and his dog
their dinner at Christmas. As
Christmas cones but once year the
boatman would seem to have made
a very bad bargain. Let us hope he
gets a generous meal and wish him
a merry Christmas-nOt forgetting
the dog.
