The New York Herald publishes what
IL claims to be a synopsis OF the Mica
rapua Canal Commissions report, IN
which it is stated that the cost or the

Railroads. attorney who will represent
them in the Senats) statement that the
people OF Nebraska are for Mckinley
for President because times were bet
ter under the Mckinley law. the Chica-
90 News says: Hard times in Nebras-

the farmers lacked was not high
tariff, but rain We are confident,
therefore, that what Mr.. Thnrston

Nebraska. first, last and all the time,
are for Charles y FarweIl Of Chicago
and their motto IS, Z save - g presi-
dent who can make rain and we care
not who thinkers with the tariff. " +"
