ed IT, Old Pete in for free silver coinage,
and the balance Of the democratic platform.
-Tipt0n Record.
The BULLETIN cOngratulates its
self that it is not responsible for the
Records Interpretation of the inan-
cial plank Of the democratic plat
form. That plank declares that the
purchasing power of both gold and
silver shall be equal in the markets.
Will the Record assert that the
purchasing power of the gold and
silver dollar is equal beyond the
boundaries of the United States?
If not will the Record enlighten the
BULLETIN as to how they may be
made equal, other than by an inter
national agreement The readers
of the Record are aware of the fact
that time and again that paper cal
led upon GovernorTurney for an ex-
preston as to his position concern
ing the silver question. That was the
only question which the Record de-
sired information from the Governor
upon, therefore the want of analogy
between the proposition of the Rec
ord as to the lawyer who advertises
in the BULLETIN and its advocacy
of the candidacy of Governor Tur-
ney. The utterances of that paper
clearly indicate that unless a man
favors free coinage of silver he
would not be qualified to fill the po-
sition of Governor. The BULLETIN
has much more faith in John Sher-
mans ability upon financial ques-
tions, especially when they are in
harmony with the Democratic plat
form, than in that of Weaver and
Mrs. Lease. We would remind the
esteemed Record that il is the bus
mess of congress and not the presi-
dent to pass a law revealing the fed
eral tax, the Office of president is
not a legislative one. The Record
overlooked the latter part of the
BULLETINS editorial, and we pre-
sumo the cause for SO doing is that
the truth hurts. But if it prefers
to flop with Mcdowell and Mrs.
Lease rather than with President
Cleveland, it should do so openly
and above board.

THE coal miners are beginning to
weaken in their great strike. For
six weeks nearly every mine in the
country has been shut down, the
men refusing to work unless higher
salaries were paid. Many violent
deeds have been committed by the
strikers, men killed who refused to
join chem, railroad trains captured,
tracks torn up, etc. The situation
il becoming very serious with the
railroads. Many are almost entirely
out of coal, and have been forced to
discontinue the running of trains on
that account. An early adjustment
of matters is hoped for.

IF the editors of the Record
will but read the financial
plank of the national plat

contains the following: "But
the dollar unitofcoinage must
be of equal, intrinsic and

justed through international

parity of the two metals and

spearman's FrultIess Fight.

The prettiest fight was for the McCook
rsseivership. Months ago Castor in
dorsed Frank Spearman, but owing to
the peculiar conditions existing declined
to do anything more than to allow his
name to remain on the papers. Spear
man made his own fight and came
within sight of winning. His endorse
ments were largely from outside the
state and included John Dewitt War
ner of the Reform club of New York,
Franklin McVeagh of Chicago and
numerous leading Democrats of Nebras-
ka. Spearman was in Washington, last
week, working hard in his own interests
and left, on Monday, satisfied that he
would win. Mr.. Cleveland, however,
in looking over the papers of Pat Glib
bons, pronounced them much the
strongest. His endorsements included
Euclid Martin, large majority of the
state central committee, Dan Cook of
Beatrice, John A. McShane, John A.
Creighton, Charley Hoyt of Beatrice,
and leading and influential Democrats
all over the state. 1t was urged against
Mr.. Gibbons that he was sixty years of
age and not accustomed to Office work
having spent most of his life as a con-
tractor and used only to outside affairs.
These arguments did not seem to weigh
with the president, who considered his
splendid endorsements and made the
appointment. Hon. A. S. Campbell for
register of McCook had walkaway.
He was endorsed by the national COM
mitteeman and by about all the Chicago
delegation, as well as by majority of
the Democrats of the state.-W. E.

By letter from his father, William
Huber of our city learned, first of the
week, of the death of his brother Frank,
last Friday night, by drowning. He
was going to or from church, few
miles distant from the farm down in
Missouri, and the drowning is thought
to have been accidental. The remains
were not recovered until few days af
terwards. so the funeral did not occur
until Wednesday morning of this week.

The Mccook irrigation convention
failed to throw any special new light on
the irrigation question, but it was useful
inasmuch as it served to give good evi-
dence of the strong hold which the irri.
CATION idea has taken upon the people oi
the semi-arid region. The interest and
enthusiasm that marked the proceedings
of the convention clearly indicated that
the delegates were in attendance for the
purpose of laying the foundation of sem
timent that would eventually culminate
in the solution of the problem of how to
make possible the reclamation of the arid
lands of the new west by the irrigation
system. All grand achievements that
benefit humanity are almost invariably
the result of extensive agitation, and
upon this fact can be based the theory
that the McCook convention will very
probably be productive of great good in
the efuture.-Benkelma Bee.
