Hastings Tribune: Omaha people have COM
menced their work with the state fair In
the right way. and II will certainly be a
grand success.
Leigh World: Omaha is pushing the matter
OF preparing for the state fair this fall.
II hustling. combined with money, will make
the coming state fair a success It will be a
good one.
Kearney Era: Bill Dorgan will soon go out
of business in connection with the state PEN
itentiary, Governor Holcomb possesses the
business qualifications to look after Nebraska s
interest, and the convicts will not be al
lowed to become a burden upon the taxpayers
by earning at least their own expenses.
Plattsmouth News: The Interstate Conn
merce commission is hearing some pretty
sound testimony in Omaha, showing that
Omaha has been and is now seriously dis
crminated against by the railways. II
Omaha had the same show as Kansas City
her stock markets would soon Outstrp the
town on the Kaw.
Cedar Rapids Republican: The best proof
which has been given lately that the repub-
lcan rank and file and republican papers
of Nebraska have not clean gone TO the bad
is their unbrOken silence about the merits
Of the late republican legislature. Scarcely
word is spoken in its defense or praise.
The general feeling seems to be that the
less said about the miserable tiasco the bet
ter.
Crete Vidette Governor Holcomb has
called upon DR.. Hay to resign his position
as superintendent Of the insane asylum at
Lincoln, and there ought to be some law by
which the call could be enforced. When a
man has pulled at the public teat so long
that he is not even willing to let go when
an adverse administration comes in he should
be forced to quit, and steps taken to see
that he don't get hold again. Such men are
a disgrace to their party.
Wisner Chronicle: The Fremont Tribune
thinks that Rosewater should be allowed to
weep his weeps alone. Just so long as the
Burlington Journal and the f. (r) Il. (&) NJ.
(onO V. Tribune and the admirers Of these
stall-fed creatures of the corporations are
seized with fit of belching every time they
see a locomotive blowing of steam, they
may expect Rosewater and the anti-monopoly
leaders to have plenty of sympathy and sup
port among the great mass Of the people
who wiring from the soil the means to feed
the COW which gives the milk that fills the
maws Of those sleek-cOated calves.
Kearney Hub: The Omaha Bee asks; "Who
is to be queen of the state fair pageant?
Nebraska produces more pretty women than
any other state in the union. We have sta
tlstics in support of this fact. Should the
prettiest maiden in the state be selected for
queen of the AkSar- Ben festivities, 1t would
add 10, 900 people to the throng OF sightseers.
The Bee has made a good suggestion, and II
1t is followed up and acted upon Kearney
will most assuredly furnish the queen. In
vestigatiOn on the part of the managers OF
the pageant is hereby called to this bold
statement, because Kearney is in position to
make it good.
Lyons Sun: The present State Board of
Agriculture has made up its mind to make
the state fair at Omaha this year the largest
and most attractive exposition of the kind
ever held in Nebraska. The drouth of last
year and the unfavorabe comments on the
productiveness of Nebraskas soil which have
appeared from time to time since last fall
in eastern papers should be answered by
every county sending an exhibit of its pro-
ducts for exhibition before thousands who
will visit Omaha during fair week. Such
display from eighty or ninety counties would
go far toward redeeming the good name of
the state as a cereal producing region, and
attract the attention of thousands toward
Nnhra ska.
