Next week, the 18th, the birthday Of
Abraham Lincoln will be celebrated all
over the country. In the last ten years
Lincoln's birthday has been accorded
prominence almost equal to that given
to Washington's birthday, and it is
probable that the former will be cele-
brated with more and more enthusiasm
as tune goes on. just now there is
more interest iE Lincoln and his life
than has been manifest any time since
the war.
Mr.. Newbranch, elsewhere in this
issue OF The Courier, discusses hard
times in Nebraska. He speaks Of the
scarcity Of money as a principal cause.
Money is scarce, it is true. But what is
it that makes money scarce? For three
years we have been sending money out
OF the state instead Of bringing it in.
Just as soon as Nebraska is restored to
its normal agricultural condition
money will be plenty again. and times

inc regret TO all who have ever come in
contact with this gentleman who occu-

public life OF Nebraska Here in this

when We find a man who has these
qualities and is with Al jolly good fell
low, We are in the presence Of product
sufficiently rare to be regarded with
rather marked respect and esteem. Mr..
EstabroOk ia not q self -assertive man.
He is much less known than fifty or a
hundred infinitely smaller men who
manage to attract public attention in
this state. But where he is known he
is appreciated. As regent of the state
university and as a guest of the Young
Mems Republican club, he has been
prominently known in this city. In his
departure from the state the university
will lose one OF its staunchest and ableet
friends and Nebraska one of its FORE
most citizens. Mr.. Estabrook is the
most polished, scholarly speaker in Ne
braska. As an orator his fame is ma
tional. He is the kind of men Nebraska
could well afford to put premium on.
Nebraska cannot afford to do other
wise than cast its full vote for McKin-
ley in the republican national conven-
ton. The distinguished Ohioan has
many elements OF strength. He is a
perfect type Of American citizenship.
He has the sturdy honesty. the out
spoken will. the unfiinching courage
that are associated with the ideal Amer
lean character. He represents as no
other living man represents the aggres
sive, moving force OF advanced republi-
canism. Mckinley stands as no other
man stands for the great principle
which the events of the last two wears
have caused the whole nation to regard
as the practical basis of national pros
perity. But he is not man of one idea.
He is broadly republican and patriotic.

1t is something to have in a candidate

CLAY SE0.4N.

The Democracy of Jefferson Coun- ty have never been charged with ingratitude. They are loyal and faithful people and never fail, when opportunity presents itself, to reward those who have stood up for the people of this county.
 In the present race for State Auditor there is candidate in the field who has on more than one occasion proven his friendship for the people of Jefferson County. We allude to the Hon. Clay Sloan, of Lawrence County, candidate for State Auditor Mr. Sloan has served three sessions as a member of the General Assembly of the State-one session in the House and two in the Senate. In his public career Mr. Sloan. has often shown his sympathy for and ap- preciation of the conditions that surround the Democracy of the swamp district ' MT. Sloan was chairman of the caucus that framed the present Election Law and was one of the few men from his section of the State who stood up for and advocated the passage of that bill. And during the last two sessions of the Legislature, as one of the Senators therein, the writer can give personal testimony to the fact that during that period Senator Sloan always came to the support of the swamp Democracy, and especially Jefferson County, when ever appealed to; and that he was one of the few men from the north western section of the State that really understood and appreciated the conditions and needs of South eastern Arkansas.
 The railroad men all over the

State also have occasion to remem- Der Senator Sloan gratefully and kindly, for he was one of the Senators who voted and worked diligently for the passage of the FelIow-Servants Bill.
 We think Senator Sloan's services in the past for the interest of these people, and the people of this sec tion of the State, are worthy of recognition and reward, and there fore we hope when our county con- vention meets on June the 10th that Jefferson county will instruct for Mr. Sloan for Auditor

Marshal telegraphed back to hold them
and they will be returned to their homes
today.
About 800 people visited the scene of
the cave Sunday.
The CONS truction of the underground
camp elected the admiration of all and
showed that If the minds OF the runa-
ways should be turned in the right
channels they had abilities as artizans
which if developed, would make them
masters as architects and builders. In
selecting the site of the cave they had
taken into consideration the advantage
of tunnelling it beneath large trees
where the rootsiwould hold the soft dirt
and prevent a cave in.

children that this is only one of several
such camps, the locality of which is I'm

these will develop is now anxiously

HARRISON.

Knox of Massachusetts,, addressed the
people of Harrison last night on the poll
sioal questions of the day. Although the
evening was dark and rainy there was
fair sized audience. A goodly number
of Democrats were present. Mr.. Knox is
fine speaker and held the attention Of
the people or an hour or more. The
speaker brought up the argument that
the Democratic party used four years
ago, which was we'll remvm bered BY

ever to their whereabouts.
The officer went first to some of the
companions Of the children for clue.
He coon learned that it was the same old
story, the runaways were victims of dime
novel reading and had become imbued
with the romantic wild west. fight In
dian spirit, AMI that they had started
out toward the setting sun, no longer
to be under parental control, but to en-
joy the freedom of the western plains.
1t was not the inspiration of moment
but was the result of much planning
and preparation. The officer was direct
ed by companion of the young people
to grove of woods at the head of Roch-
ester street, opposite Woodlawn cemetery.
The boy directed him to the side of a
bank beneath clumb of trees and draw
ing away some boughs, an entrance to a
cave was disclosed. The entrance WIGS
artfully concealed and no passer-by
would have had any suspicion of its ex-
istence. Removing some boards the
entrance was made.
Following along a hole just large
enough to admit the officers body, for
about ten feet. he came to An under
ground dwelling, which gave him quite
little astnnishment. 1t consisted OF
large room excavated in the ground
and was furnished after the fashion OF

furnishing, blankets, pillows, etc. In

nor indifferent, and adds that he hopes
for more effective results from the efforts

He also POUNDS great hopes of a final sup

The people of the United States have
voluntarily and intelligently adopted the
gold standard and they will not submit
to the diotation OF the Chicago plat

Never before was the parricidal hand
of the Democratic party raised against
the author Of its existence-the eonsti-
tuition. Never before was it's suicidal hand
raised against its own existence. When
we plead for the constitution we are
called traitors. When we strike down the
felonlous hand raised to destroy our
party. we are called boilers. With firm
resolve to do our duty by our country
and by our party; with reliance on
the sober second thought of our infatuat-
ed brethren and on the vinhioation that
honest purpose. and sound judgment al
ways secure from awakened reason, we
repudiate the Chicago platform as nm
American and unDemooratic and hoist
the flag Of true Democracy that will
never be lowered, so long as there are
patriotic hearts to revere it and patriotic
hands to maintain it. We all know that
your exalted patriotism places country
before party and that the assaults on the
constitution of our country by the Chica-
go platform will be resisted with the
same courage which you displayed on
many bloody field in its defense. We
know that your devotion to your party is
only surpassed by your love for your
country; and that the flag of Democracy
which you unfurl, will ever be seen in
the forefront of battle wherever it's foes
| assail or its botrayers soil it,.
| And, sir, your hands will be held up
| in your noble fight for the constitution
and Democracy, by the soldiers who wore
the grey. Their patriotism is aroused by
the blending of the oolors; the blue and
grey meet and melt into colors of
promise, where every tint is an inspira-
| ton and every hue call of duty. And
| Democracy and the country rejoices that
| soldier Of the Union and a soldier of
| the Confederacy unite in peace to defend
| their common country, it's noble copsti-
tuition and great party which has upheld
both since the foundation of the repub-
