the young man eloquent. All that
We. his admiring erstwhile constituents
can know. is that he is doing heap OF
travelling and jumping sbout.-and isn't

What can the matter be-
Twas talking with an old populistic
war horse recently. and he spake
thusly:
Just you wait; just You wait. There
will he free silver clubs and free silver
leagues in every town and township in
Nebraska in the next thirty dsys;-and
in every state where there is any free
silver vote inside Of sixty days. We are
organizing my boy. We are organizing,
and you'd be astonished to know how
thoroughly. But you mark this; the
free silver vote is going to be polled for
a free silver ticket.-and we're ali get
ting together.
Take il, or leave il. as you hke,-but
is it not fair to presume that desperate
effort is being made. and that our own
Billy's silent comings and goings are
simply the necessary concomitants OF
the work of superintendent
OF course its disgraceful thing to do.
and bespeaks low. grovelling and un-
educated mind to say word for silver
money nowadays. but the opportunity
for an object lesson is too good to be
missed
Morey is scarce in Nebraska And so
prices are low in Nebraska. Prices are
always low where money is scarce. But
more than that. prices have been falling
and are falling, in Nebraska Because
money is getting scarcer and scarcer.
And decreasing money volume always
means falling prices, just as An increas-
ing money volume makes rising prices.
Now for the next step. Times are
hard in Nebraska. They are harder
than they ever were and are getting
harder every day. This is because
money is getting scarcer and prices keep
on falling. The connection OF cause
and effect here is not hard to establish
Where money is decreasing in amount
each unit Of money is rising in value. Ite
value is as thoroughly the result Of the
relation Of supply to demand as is that
Of wheat or corn. Where the dollar rises
in value, what the dollar can buy-that
is everything else, must be falling. This
also must be clear. Sothen We have the
first conclusion that decreasing money
volume means falling prices.
But when prices are falling bushes,

checked. This must also be clear Mer

MAJOR Mckinney pfeslueniidi pon'
seems to be reaching proportions that
will render il irresistible when the re-
publican convention meets in ST LOUIS
in juno. With the exceptions OF Iowa
and Indiana the Mckinley adherents
have already assured themselves OF
practically all OF the north central
states. Kansas and Nebraska. together
with other Of the western states seem
also safe for Mckinley as do q great
number OF the southern states
So it appears that the high chief
apostle OF protection will enter the
convention with the strongest follow
ing Of any individual candidate.
Reed will have New England, unless
present indications fail. Morton, New
York; and Allison, Iowa. OF
the first two. one will have
Pennsylvania and Boss Quay. Indeed
it may safely be hazarded that the
Reed and Morton forces will be CON-
bined in the convention, in case OF pro-
tracted balloting. So one OF these
candidates will have New England.
New York. Pennsylvania, a few other
struggling votes.-and the whole ma
chine Of Plat, Quay q Co. behind him.
This will be the nucleus against the
doughty Ohioan, and the odds at
preeeut are that he will smash the CON-
bination, is providing that fire
alarm" Foraker can be held in line in
Ohio.
The indications then are the nomi-
nation Of Mckinley on a high tariff plat
form, one plank of which shall delicately
and judiciously straddle the money
question. And still farther. the indi-
cations are that the ticket and platform.
-straddle and all, will be uproarious-
~ and almost unanimously elected. 1t
is true that few OF the ultra western
states will probably bolt the convention
and the ticket.-but it is also true that
q great many more states will probably
bolt the democratic ticket. OF course
it is within the bounds OF possibility that
all bourbondom will unite on Col. Hor
izontal Bill Morrison and a free trade
platform nicely balanced on the none
tary fence and 60 down to irgloiious
and ignominious defeat a whooping. But
the temper displayed by the free silver
democrats indicate far different course
OF action.
This 10 nothing more or less than a
bolt OF almost half OF the democratic
convention, Bland and Bryan and a
host OF chivalrous Southrons dramatic
ally shaking the gold dust OF the Col
iseum from their feet and segregating
together with Teller and and his crowd
and Allen and his crowd in thu nom
ination Of free silver or bust" ticket
And it will be 'bust" Not because OF 9
lack Of free silver votes in the United
States,-but because Of q lick of the
organisation OF those votes. What the
free silver forces stand imperatively in
need Of is what they have not got-ar
organizer. They need q man who is 9
finished and practical politician able t.
unite al the little bosses with repub-
lican and democratic and populistit
predelictions,-and this done, able I,
unite the people who made the bosses
There 10 no sign that this is being
done or will be done. The free silve
voters are simply an incohate and dis
organized mob with no recognized
leader or leaders and no unifyinl

HON. GRANT HERRING ENDORSED,

At their recent county convention
the Columbia county Democrats in
structed their delegates to the state
convention TO vote for and use all
honorable means to secure the cleo
ton of Hon. Grant Herring as a dis
trict delegate to the national Demo
cratic convention to be held at
Chicago in June next.
There is no prominent Democrat
in this state who is more deserving of
such an honor Mr.. Herring as a Dem
ocrat is of the true blue stripe he up
holds Democracy because he believes
in its never dying principles. AS a
campaigner, he is a willing worker
and he has done valiant service in ad
vocating the election of Democratic
candidates on national, state, con
gressional and county tickets. His
address in this city during the last
Cleveland campaign will ever be re-
membered as one of the best ever
delivered in Democracy's cause. Mr..
Herring withal is popular gentleman
and an efficient official, which quail
ties, in addition to those already
mentioned, are worthy of any support
that will be given him as delegate to
the national convention. If the
honor is conferred upon Mr.. Herring,
Democrats can well rest assured that
in his capacity as delegate, their best
interests will be looked after with the
fidelity and loyalty that has always
characterized the gentleman.-LotA

You often hear people say that
there never was such Spring, or
Summer, or Winter. During the
disagreeable weather of last week, a
similar remark was made, when by
stander who has kept diary for a
number of years contradicted the
statement. He said that "two years
ago on the nth of April there was
twenty inches of snow on the ground.
1t commenced showing on the 10th
at II O'Clock, and continued without
interruption until 3 o'clock P. M. on
the IIth." 1t sometimes is a good
thing to have a diary.
