POINTS IN POLITICS


In these closing days OF the campaign
the republican central committee is
receiving many specially encouraging
reports from all sections OF the county.
Perhaps never before has there been
such an aggressive campaign waged as
in the present instance. The committee
has thought best to put the larger part
OF the effort in meetings, and for two or
three weeks past many meetings have
been held nightly. ard almost every
country school house. city hall or wher-
ever the rallies have been held, have
been crowded to their utmost capacity.
The best speakers OF the party have
been secured and they have given freely
OF their time. All this has been in
marked contrast 10 the proceedings OF
the populist committee. 1t has been
doubtless noticed that there have been
practically no populist mass meetings
or speeches. Now, in the first place, the
populists have found il impossible to
secure speakers who would con. pete with
the republican orators. There are only
one or two men available for this pur-
pose. Then there seems to be an &C.
acknowledgement Oh the part OF the popu-
list committee that the cause is hopeless
90 far as making new converts is con-
cerned, and all efforts have been bent
towards making what is known as a
financial campaign. All other argu-
ments have been subordinated to the
money argument. The winning ways
OF some OF the populist candidates have
provoked much discussion, and the
trend OF this discussion is unfavorable
to the populist candidates. The report
that one candidate on the populist
ticket. in order to secure the withdrawal
OF an opposing candidate. offered him
considerable sum OF money, has been
followed by many other similar reports
OF the free expenditure Of money for
political purposes. There seems to be
an inexhaustible amount OF money at
the disposal OF populist candidates,
which is distributed freely. and some OF
the political workers who are in politics
for what there is in it have found in
these candidates veritable mine. The
candidates have neither the
ability nor the inclination to pursue this
sort Of canvass, but it is not thought
that they have lost anything thereby.
The better element OF people is not at
all influenced by the methods above
cited. Messrs. Trompen and Low, who
have been compelled to make stronger
fight than the rest of the republican
have not attempted to COM
pete with Messrs. Miller and Baker
along financial lines. They have gone
out among the voters Of the county hon
estly and frankly stating their position,
no promises they are unable to
fulfill. They have impressed voters
everywhere b. their candor and honesty.
The republican candidate for sheriff,
should he be elected. will never give any
for the accusation that he
caused the American flag to be lowered
rom a public building on patriotic
The Germans and other liberals who
nave enjoyed the beer and other liquid
supplied by the populist
candidate for the clerk OF the district
,ourt do not, many Of them, know that
his same candidate has the endorse
nent Of the prohibition party. The pro-
,ibition endorsement and Mr.. Bakers
can hardly be reconciled. and
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1895-10-26

the same time will lose votes from both
sides.
1t is no secret that the populist can
didate for clerk OF the district court il
making a determined effort to secur'
straight democratic votes in the face o
his recent declaration that his democrac,
is only skin deep. Democrats have no U.s.
for skin deep democracy, and they arr
apt to repudiate Mr.. Baker as he repu
dated them. 1t is also easy to see how
straight, middle Of the-road populists, il
there are any Of these left, might take
offense at Mr.. Bakers declaration. What
he told them was, in effect. that out
wardly, to all intents and purposes he
was democrat. but that inside. where
nobody could see, he was a popuiist.
Another case OF straddle that is likely
to prove disastrous.
The candidates for the judiciary, Hall
Holmes and Cornish, are considered to
be particularly strong candidates. The
fact that they are not opposed with any
considerable vim would indicate that
the opposition has no hope OF defeating
any one OF them.
A particularly noticeable feature OF
the campaign is the fact that the re-
publican candidates have been on the
aggressive from the very start. No re-
publican candidate has had to defend
himself against single charge. The
demo-pops, on the contrary, have been
on the defensive from the first, and they
have been kept pretty busy explaining
things. The republican candidates for
judge OF the district court and sheriff
and clerk OF the district court, upon
whom the opposition has conferred its
strength. are beyond the reach Of at
tack. They have no weak places to be
uncovered, and there has been no I'M
covering. They have nothing to ex-
plain. They have been left free to con-
duct an old-time republican campaign.
In the present campaign it must be
that there is no populist
party. no democratic party. The only
party presenting solid front is the re-
publican party. Mr.. Miller and MIR.
Baker represent about all there is left
of the free silver democrat and populist
parties. There is another democratic
wing in the field, but it's Tapping does
not attract any attention. On the other
hand the republicans are thoroughly
united and harmonious, and a vote for
the republican candidates means some
thing
The personnel OF the county ticket
has been pretty thoroughly discussed
in The COURIER. 1t is not necessary
at this time to 60 over the ground
again, but too much Importance can
not be laid on the necessity for voting
FOR every candidate on the republican
ticket. There is no good reason why
any good citizen who inclines toward
republican views should refuse to vote
Tor any republican candidate. The candi-
dates are the best selection that could
have been made. and il you think there
are good men on the other tickets Just
look at the republican ticket and see if
the men on it are not as good or better.
Vote the whole ticket, from top to
bottom, from judge down to constable,
because it is the best ticket in the field;
because the other ticket does not repre-
'ent anything save personal desire for
,ffice; because a complete republican
,ictory at this time will place the party

SURGICAL CURE FOR IDIoCY.

Two most interesting operations
have been performed during the past
week by DR.. S. B. Powell at the New
York Post Graduate Hospital. If they
prove to be successful, as there is
every reason at present to believe will
be the case, two children will be trans
formed from idiots into beings possess
ing fair amount of intelligence.

cal Society last Monday night DR.. Pow

The operation, in brief, consists Of tax.

the top of the head, thus affording the
cramped brain an opportunity to grow

ed the operation on Tuesday. The
two children were each two years old,
and had beeen idiots since birth. The
head of the child selected for the first
operation having been shaved, it was
put under the influence of ether. A
strip of muslin was bound around its
head to prevent loss of blood. DR..
Powell then made long cut down the
center of the head, beginning at the
forehead and ending in the crown.
The scalp was then laid back, and
four trephine openings made in the
skull. A broad strip of silver was then
thrust gently into one of the openings
and worked along between the brain
and the skull until it protruded from
the next hole, thus forming shield
between the brain and the skull, OBJ.
Waiting danger of accident if the saw
should slip.
A minute circular saw, operated by
electricity, was then brought into
use. A cut was made from one tre-
pinned hole to the other, and second
one then made one-eighth OF an inch
from the first. The intervening piece
of bone was then removed, leaving the
brain exposed. Two more cuts were
made between the other two trephined
holes, the bone removed, the silver
strips withdrawn, the flaps of scalp
drawn back and stitched, and the re.
quisite bandages applied. The opera,
ton lasted twenty-five minutes.
The second operation was performed
in similar manner. Both children
are doing well. The ultimate results
of the operation will be watched with
much interest.
