The Delight. of the August Harper.

Huckleberry Finn-the same whose ac-
qusintanco so many OF us already enjoy
gives q characteristic description OF
spring fever. "when you've got II, you
want-ob, you don't quite know what
1t Is you do want, but 1t just fairly
makes your heart ache, you want 1t SOL"
Huck Finn tells Mark Twain's new story,
"Tom Sawyer, Detective that begins
in the August Harper's. To those OF US
who already know Huck, 1t need not be
told tnat the story Is to lose nothing by
that young mans telling. Huck Finn is
a different sort OF chap from Tom
Sawyer. In one point, for instance, as
Huck illustrates it, Sawyer runs TO mys-
terry, while he runs to pie. And the pie
nature OF Huok thoroughly grasps and
appreciates the mystery nature OF the
astute Sawyer.
The tale opens most promisingly. The
reader is prom pity interested in trio OF
scallawags, sharing such interest with
the narrator and his companion OF the
detective inclinations. And II is a mat
ter for rejoicing that MIR. A. IL. Frost
has been selected to picture the story

selected pen and ink instead Of the brush

As to Standing Up for Bryan.
Kearney, Neb., Hub.

Stand up for Nebraska? Well, yes!
But whoopng it up for Bryan because he
is Nebraska. candidate is not standing
up for Nebraska.
Mr.. Bryan came to Nebraska as polit-
ical fortune hunter.
He has done nothing Of note since
coming to the State except to keep his
political anchor well cast to wfndward.
He has contributed nothing to the de-
velopment OF Nebraska.
In material sense he has toiled not,
neither has he spun.
AS a lawyer he never had aught but a
political clientage.
As citizen Ie never assisted in the
promotion OF any scheme OF material de-
velopment.
While lawyers and doctors and farmers
and merchants have won their way
through and by creative effort, and have
won and merited political reward, he has
been merely u professional politician,
with an eye single, always, to the glor-
ihcation OF Bryan.
This is all right in the professional
political sense, but il has nothing to
do with standing up for Nebraska.

Republicans Must Show a Bold Front.
The situation makes it imperative, if
the national credit is to be preserved,
that there should be no wavering OF the
sound money lines during the campaign
and that at no time should such con-
dition of affairs DO allowed to arise as
would seem to foreshadow the success
of Bryan and repudiation. The exhaus-
ton of the gold reserve and the destruc-
tion of the only means by which it
could DO replenished would put the
country on the silver basis in advance
Of the election, for the small supply Of
gold in the treasury would be at once
boarded and treated as "a mere CONNER
cial commodity, for which u premium
would be charged amounting to the
difference between the bullion value Of
gold and silver.
That the effect of this abrupt descent
to the silver basis would react upon the
silver men and that it would lead to tho
overwhelming defeat Of their candidate
there can be no doubt, but tho losses
that would be inflicted upon the country
would be so enormous that even the
election Of a sound money president and
the stamping out of the silver heresy by
an actual object lesson would not make
up for them.
Treasury officials are not inclined to
discuss the situation freely, and profess
to believe that if another issue of bonds
becomes necessary it can be negotiated
at par, if not at u premium, but at the
game time they sincerely hope they may
not be confronted with such condition
as would prevail if tho gold reserve
should be depleted in conjunction with
a general belief in financial circles that
Mr.. Bryan might become the next pres
