Wrote 10 the Wrong Man.

Congressman Hunter, of Bowling
Green, KY, recently addressed a
letter to Governor HOlcomb, in
which he requested the governor
to assist in raising a fund in Ne
braska ''to aid in the election of a
Republican governor in Kentucky,
and thus break the solid south"
Governor Holcomb, who is a
populist, replied that it would
please him very much to witness a
breaking up of the solid south, but
that he would regret to see the
people of Dixie throw of the yoke
of Cleveland Democracy only to
assume the bonds of such an or
ganization as the Republican party.
The governor adds: ''Your letter
was doubtless addressed to me be-
cause the news of the partial re-
demption of Nebraska from Re-
publican misrule had not yet reach
ed the headquarters of the Repub-
Ecan executive committee of Ken
lucky, therefore / return the COM
munication, as you would doubt
less not desire to have 1t given
publicity"

Wonder what they called the
men of Hicks stripe in the days
of the struggle between the patriot
and the tory, for American liberty.
Guess they hadn't coined the word
nor the man either. Think Hicks
type is later productions cross
between the kicker and the topper.
A flea as it were, which refuses to
be driven out from under the bOs-
ses' clothes, but continues to kick
and bite the boss.
For over three years now Bro.
Hicks has raised a tempest in his
little tea pot against the bosses,
and he has not even himself in
fighting shape, to say nothing of
an army of well-drilled soldiers
that he should have fighting.
Last summer, when we heard
Peter Trezevant say that he would
see that Hicks came back into the
Democrrtic party, so that all who
voted for HIM for Congress might
also be able to come back, we lit
tie thought that the arch schemer
could reach and so influence his
supposed political enemy.
Yes, vote for the goldbugs, Bro.
Hicks. if they are nominated, which
they are sure to be by the machine
to which you are clinging, but we
have an abiding hope that there are
enough patriots in AmerIca-des-
cendents of Revolutionary ances-
tors-who like Sorrelle, hold prin-
ciple above party, and who will
vote as their cOnsciences dictate, to
down the combined votes of Wall
Street, Wall Street tools, and the
week knees, like Bro. Hicks, who
are held to Wall Street by party
ties.

That inexplicable political JIM

We once thought Bro. Hicks a
brave, true man, but alas, how

He has not only had to take back
q lot of his own sayings and charg-

ever made. Take back" utteran-

what purpose ; ''just to take the

All the Populists, and their name

Democratic barbecue at Campti on
Thursday, the 10Th inst, desire to
thank the managers of that nice
affair, for the courtesies extended
them and their speakers, and in
turn, the Democrats should be
thankful to the Populists for the
magnificent crowd furnished. At

Put Up OF Shut Up.

Last week our Enterprise advi-
ses "Free Coinage Populists,"
which must mean all, for there
never was a Populist who didn't
believe in the free coinage of silver
at 16 to 1, to come back to the
Democratic party to get it, as it
says there is no earthly chance to
get it in the Populist party.
Now, if the Enterprise is in
earnest about tins invitation, it
will have to do three things or
stand convicted of insincerity and
false cavil.
1st. 1t must show by the votes
of Democratic congressman and
Presidents, and by Democratic
platforms, that the Democratic par
ty is in favor of the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
End. 1t must show, by authen-
tic records and not by idle asser-
tions that any Populist ever elected
to any Office in these United States
cast any vote or did any act against
the free coinage of silver, at the
ratio of 16 to 1, as it so insOlently
and falsely charges in its article.
3rd. 1t must open the doors of
the Democratic party to these invi-
ted guests, who at worst, have made
fewer mistakes than the people who
are doing the inviting.
If you really desire us to come
back, neighbor, as you say you do,
it IS only fair for you to do all
three of these things, and from
your loud boasts We presume it
will be no trouble for you to do it.
So trOt out your records like you
did at Campti the other day, and
let's get this little matter settled.
But don't 90 and waste lot of
time on that old speech of Joe
Wheeler's which he never deliver
ed, but had printed in the Con-
gressional Record, for it is tissue
of lies. and has been so proven
long ago. 1t will be 8 waste of
time, as IT wasat Campti, and life's
too short to have to prove a lie
twice IN the same campaign.
Trot out your record, neighbor,
your friends are getting impatient,
and the Pops are getting disguised.
We have some records we want to
show up if you will only pitch in
and give us an opening. We are
little too modest to open the pot,
but will stay in as long as the fell
low who doesn't hold a better hand.
So put up or shut up.

During the FOSTER Nc Emery
campaign the Fosterites said: IF
YOU eliminate the farmer from the
Democratic party in this State
what is left would look like q suck
ed orange" and yet, the first thing
Foster did after he was counted
into Office was to take the farmer
by the nape of their necks and the
slack of their trousers and dump
them outside the party lines, and
now this ungrateful governor, who
holds the Office by returns tainted
with fraud has, through his friends,
opened a campaign of abuse against
these tillers of the soil, and called
around him coterie of men whom
he denounced as boodlers, corrupt
politicians, the scum of the cutters
of the city of New Orleans, and
proposes, by the election machine
ry, to bind hand and foot the great
commonwealth of Louisiana and
again ride into, Office. The people
of the State are going to. rspudi-
ate such individuals, and the clever
people of New Orleans will never
consent to be delivered TO- these
parties whom he denounced in 1892,
but whom he has taken TO his bo-
som for the coming campaign.

forerunner of what is going to take
place throughout the State Its

CITIZENS EXCITED
Great Indignation at Omaha
Over Alleged Municipal
Corruption.
MASS MEETING TO BE HELD,
Prominent Men, Representing
All Political Parties, Sign
the Call.

OMAHA, July 1.-The demand for
municipal reform in Omaha has be-
come so pronounced that business men
and citizens, regardless of party feel
ing, have united in the publication of
proclamation calling for the orTaniza-
ton of a movement looking to the in
PRODUCTION of business methods in the
city government. The embers of pub
lie Indignation have been famed for
several months by the alleged corrupt
ness existing III local municipal affairs.
Months ago it was noticed that city
money was being used by spectators,
contractors and others with political
influence. The matter became 50
fragrant two weeks since that the
school board
Demanded an Investigation
as to its funds. The next day City
Treasurer Bolln fled from the city
leaving note that he had gone to
commit suicide. Officers located him
in hiding. Developments showed that
many members Of the city council and
other politicians owed the city from
500 to s., 900 each. The only security
the treasurer had was a slip in the cash
drawer indicating the amount due the
city on the |. q. L. Cash was missing
to the amount of $780, 900. Since then
this has been reduced two-thirds by
the I. 0. US being taken up. The
council, in the face of the situation,
refused to depose Bolln, though many
citizens We're delnadning his arrest. A
week after his defalcations Were made
public Bolln resigned The mayor re-
peatedly sent names of citizens to the
council to succeed Bolln, but that body
Refused to Confirm tho Nominations,
in the meantime leaving Bolln in Office.
After turning down many of the most
reliable citizens of Omaha, the council
at 10 o'clock last night, after weeks
delay, confirmed j. H. Dumont as city
treasurer. These developments con-
tributed SO powerfully to the general
demand for reform that proclamation
signed by 1000 of the most prominent
citizens Of Omaha, representing all
political parties, was published Friday
calling upon citizens generally to join
with them in vigorous non-sectarian
and non partisan citizens movement
for municipal reform. The A. P. A.,
which is now controlling faction in
local politics, is not mentioned in the
proclamation, though its wording car
ries the inference that war is to be
made on that organization.

WILL GO HIGHER.
Short Wheat Crop in Europe
Ought to Affect Prices
in America,
WE HAVE LITTLE TO EXPORT.
Our Surplus This Season VIII
Be Less Than Any Year
Since 1890.

New YORK, July .-Bradstreets
says: Dominating business conditions
OF the week are the continuation Of the
large demand for and further increase
i'll prices for iron and steel, which have
surprised even the trade. The jump in
rail prices and scarcity Of and higher
quotations for plates and nails have
tended to produce temporary scarcity.
Improving wheat conditions have
finally convinced many in the trade
that there are likely to be fully 425,.
900, 900 bushels harvested in the United
States this year, which, with probable
available surplus of 50, 100000 bushels
being carried over at this time, points
to only 100, 900, 900, possibly 10000, OOO
bushels, available for export during the
next IL months, which is less than any
year since 1890. With short crops
abroad, in some instances, this can
hardly fail to bring
A Higher Range of Prices.
1t will doubtless prove disappointing to
learn that the exports of wheat (and
-four as wheat) both coasts Of the
United States and from Montreal, have
amounted to only 1.946, 4O2 bushels
this week against 1857 900 bushels last
week. There are few evidences of re.
vivals of general trade at the South, but
merchants at almost all leading cities
in that region report that demand con.
tinues very moderate and collections
are slow. General business on the
Pacific coast continues in contrast tc
that elsewhere. Increases are reported
in several lines from Seattle where .
glass factory is to be built.
Relatively Less Activity
is reported by Tacoma; Portland an.
nounces Oregon fruit crop will be a
large one, but there is no change in the
general business situation. Wheat is
being exported from San Francisco as
fast as it can be loaded into ships
Wheat flour shipments to Europe are
to be resumed from mills at Vallejo
after suspension of one year.
The only changes West and North.
west are continued improvement in
cereal crop conditions, and the stimulus
to business by continued firmness OF
