A Broken Gilderfiuke.

The ingenuity of the Nebraska editor
who explains the delay in issuing his
paper in the Following manner, is wor-
thy to be perpetuated among the arch
ives Of journalistic achievements:
Our paper is two days late this week,
owing to an accident to our press.
When we started to run the edition
on Wednesday night as usual, one Of
the guy ropes gave away allowing the
forward guilderauke to fall and break
as it struck the fuke-hopper.
This, of course, as anyone who knows
anything about q press will readily I'M
derstand, left the gang plank with only
the ftp flap to support it, which also
dropped and broke off the wrapper
choke. This ioosened the iluliing be-
tween the ramrod and the filbersnatch-
er, which also caused trouble.
The report that the delay was caused
by over indulgence in Intoxicating
stimulants by ourself is a tissue of
falschoods, the peeled appearance of
our right eye being caused by our 60
ing into the hatchway of the press in
our anxiety to start it, and pulling the
coupling pin after the slapbung was
broken, which caused the dingus to
rise up and whalt Us on the optic.
We expect brand new guilder-huke
on the afternoons train.

While the farmer OF this country is

that has brought misery to one half

Spo. in California Whore Indians Refus
TOGO.

There is place in California where
earthquakes may be said to be kept on
tap" said Fresno county fruit grower
to q Pittsburg Dispatch reporter. 1.-THE
spot is at the headwaters of the Ke
weah, at the border of Fresno, Tulare
and lnyo counties. You can't hire an
Indian or Mexican to go near that
locality. They say it is the home of the
evil spirits. The country is rugged
and mountains with deep pre-
cipitous cliffs. Snakes, scorpions, ia
rantulas, centipedes and all sorts of
hideous reptiles and insects seem to
have made the neighborhood their par
adise, for they are there in very palpa-
BILE abundance.
"But in addition TO these attractions
this region may be said to be in state
of perpetual earthquake. The ground
trembles, quakes continually and the
rocks themselves seem to be grinding
and grating against one another con-
stantly, as if subject to some great in
ternal force. These phen omena are
said to be more emphatic at night than
in the day time. Frequent booming
discharges, apparently deep in the
earth, are heard, and men who have
heard both say they are exactly like
the mutterings of distant artillery. 1
have never heard anyone advance any
theory to satisfactorily explain this
uneasy and perpetually disturbed con-
dition of nature up there among the
far Keweah rocks and hills, but it is
there. If you happen to be in that vi
cinity ask the first Indian you meet to
guide you to the spot and sec how
quickly he will shy away and disap-
pear"

Resented.
Kansas and Missouri are just now
engaged in the throes of social war.
A beautiful girl who rolls cigarettes in
tobacco factory is the apple of con-
tention. At a flower carnival in Mis-
souri, the chief cities elected their pref
test girls as maids of honor and Chill
hcothe sent in the name of Miss Edna
Whitney, the most beautiful girl of the
city, and she worked in tobacco fac
tory, making cigarettes. Soon after
the choice was announced, Miss Whit
ney received the following dispatch:
Miss Edna Whitney, Chillicothe, Mo.
Your occupation is a barrier to your
acting as maid of honor.
W. S. HOLIDAY,
For Flower Parade.
AS soon as this became known the
labor unions held mass meetings to
voice their protest against the snob
berry that dictated such dispatch.
Every girl or woman who worked,
every member of the labor organiza-
lions took up the cry. The society
people listened with frozen indiffer-
ence at first, and said the storm was
merely socialism and would subside.
1t did not subside. 1t is growing
yet And, worst of all, Kansas, no
longer bleeding, but prosperous Kan

Holiday, Jr., of the Kansas carnival
knights, and a son of the millionaire
founder of the Santa Fee railroad sys-
tenn, jumped on his chair at Il meeting
called to consider the matter, and pro-
posed that an invitation be rendered
to Miss Whitney to come to Kansas
with the title of Princess Lorepa, and
become first maid of honor tie the queen
of Kansas. 1.-THE state" said Mr.. Hol-
liday, "honors a girl who makes an
honest living for herself and her wild
owed mother by honest toll, and pro-
pose a recognition of the nobility of
labor"
The proposition was carried unani-
mously, and an invitation wired to Miss
Whitney, signed by the knights and
the queen elect of Kansas. She accept
ed, and one hundred knights will be
placed at her disposal as an escort and
guard while she is in Kansas. The
young men of Topeka have guaranteed
to find her royal carriage, with $500
worth of flowers in it, and the young
ladies of the state will loan her a ward
robe and jewelry that will be worth
$4,000.
When Governor Leeder, of Kansas
was informed of the matter, he ten
dered the working girl the beautiful
senate chamber of Kansas for her
apartments during her visit to the
state. 81 am delighted" he said. In
Kansas n girl who works is as good
as any other girl, and generally
great deal better. Those society peo-
pie in Missouri who rejected this girl
are not generation removed from the
livery stables and the pig pens. and the
father of the snob who sent her the
telegram stating that her occupation
was barrier, was plasterer in st.

political economists No wonder, when
all that is needed to equip these wise men
las to the tariff, for instance) is a foot-ruie
and a ready-calculator,-the rule to
measure the length of the free list, and
the calculator TO discover the average
duty. Only one duty of 100 per cent. on
ARGOS, or any anything else, with every
thing else free, makes tariff eXorbitant.
according to the able civicists Tor jack-leg
statesmen, as you may regard them), be-
cause its average rate is so enormous-l00
per cent! So, too, IN average rate of 30
per cent. on everything in the world we
can't produce, or produce in infnites-
sinai quantities, and yet want or need in
vast quantities, is q low tariff and greatly
to he commended! \ long lree-list, made
up of catalogue, or inventory, Of all the
things We chiefly produce, or can produce
in unlimited quantities, is a blessing!
Now, it must be pretty evident, if we
have so many professors" of civicism in
our politics and press-leaders of windy
doctrine and opinion,-who know no
more about the tariff than what we have
called attention to in the above illustrations
of thecurrent gable of anti-Protectionists,
that we sadly need "a campaign of
education to teach the teachers and
professors" of freetradc little sense.
OF such tariff gable from these jack-leg
iourneymen and cobbers in affairs Of State
and public policy, we certainly have far
too much; but the Grass ignorance of these
FLOWS, backed by loud and insolent pre-
tensions of knowing it all calls for intel
Iigcnce and logical discussion Of the mat
ter, so that these charlatans may not mis-
lead tie people and make lis all hewers OF
wood drawers and of water for the rest of

THE BIMETALLIC COMMISSION.

President Mckinley has won nothing bu

Edward O. Wacott, of Colorado, Gen
Charles ]. Paine, of Massachusetts,, and
ex-Vce President Adlai Z. Stevenson, Of
Illinois. The President has made no de-

to that part of the national Republican
platform which gave endorsement to
bimetalism by international agreement
The character of the men he has appointed
is also striking proof of his honesty Of

Walcott is Republican, but pronounced
bimetalist. He has recently made visit
to the leading European Capitols and con-

FRIENDLY ADVICE.
A Democratic Newspaper Points Out a
Rational Course for Its Party
TO Pursue.
Brooklyn eagle" (Dcm.l


The Democratic members Of the House
of Representatives have resolved that they
are willing to consider any legislation
which the Republicans may propose, to
support it if it is good and to oppose it if
it is bad. Bailey, of Texas, offered the
resolution. 1t is a significant and capti-
waiting contribution to political literature,
1t is manifestly the result of inspiration,
it propitiates the pessimist and confounds
the optomist and 1t completely dispenses
with the necessity for anything i'll the
nature of apprehension. 1t at once estab-
fishes Bailey's unassailable supremacy and
makes it clear to his colleagues that another
of his fathom they have not to do their
business.
The plain truth about the resolCtion,
bvplay aside, is that it would do indefinite
discredit to the intelligence Of a child.
Politicians who gravely announce that
they will stand by the right and battle
with the wrong are of the rudimentary
variety. Party programmes are not usually
made up of that kind ofmaterial. States
men resort to no such wretched ana cheap
triyiaities. A more meaningless and
ouerile resolution never clamored for
ridicule and oblivion. 1t lowers Demo
cratic pridein Democratic Representatives.
The assertion that most Republicans are
opposed to the best interests of the
country is ranker than the fat weeds on
I.ethe's wharf. Bailey and Buncombe
threaten to become interccnvertible terms,
He promises to make patience drug in
the market.
Congress is in session for purpose. That
purpose was deemed to be imperative
enough to justify call from the President.
While flags nutter over the Capitol busi,
ness will be held up by the heels. The
sooner what is to be done is done the bet
ter for all concerned. For whatever is
done the Republicans will beheld account
able The Democrats can obstruct, but tc
the extent that they obstruct they will
clog the wheels of commerce. Almost any
thing is preferable to delay. The Repub
licans have the votes and sooner or later
they will cast them. Better sooner than
later. For the purposes of this session theiI
might makes right, but right generally be,
becomes might, and if the Republicans are
wrong they will pay dearly for it. Abso'
lutc veracity and courage Of thought and
action will help Bailey and his colleagues
The minority need not necessarily organize
itself into Kindergarten. Its numerically
weak enough as it is without reducing It's
members to ciphers. They will gain moth
ing by using the weapon of the vulgar
abuse. That will catch no Republican Or
the hip and feed feed fat 10 ancient grudge
The longer the inevitable is lodged the
worse for those who dodge it. Pave the
way to adjournment.

Sober second thought has brought about
a wonderful abatement of the Democratic
denunciation of the Dingley bill in this
section of the country.
When the bill was first presented it was
ferociously attacked even by many of the
men who earned the title of 'honor Demo
Gratis" in the late election. They accused
it of immensely increasing the cost Of living
and Of smothering the foreign trade.
They insisted that it was eXtravagant in It's
general range of duties-that, in short, it
was "protectionism run mad" No epithet
was too harsh to hurl against it.
But our superheatcd friends nov seem
to be cooling off They no longer crack
the welkin with shrill remonstrances
against this "robber" legislation. Here
and there Democratic newspapers have
gone so far as to speak respectfully of the
Dingley tariff, and it is only the most rabid
and INSCRIPTIONS sheets which cling to the
policy of violent misrepresentation.

THE MARSHALSHlP.

We have so far rerrained from sajing
anything about the marshalship for the
Western District of Virginia. Wehave been
impelled to this course by the fact that up
to this time several worthy gentlemen from
the Ninth District haye been applicants
for the place. Information has reached
us that there is no longer any candidate in
the field from the Ninth District but the
Hon. Henry Bowen, of Tazewell County.
This being true, we feel that it is our duty
as well as pleasure to urge the propriety Of
his appointment.
In the first place, he is thoroughly quail
fed to discharge the important duties Of
the office. In the second place, he is wor-
thy from. personal and political stand
point. He has always been held in high
esteem by his people, and was the first
man who was strong enough to carry the
Ninth District for the Republican party.
This he did twice, as tine candidate of that
party for Congress. He and his friends
have done more to give Republicanism
strength and backbone in the district than
any person or persons we know, Whether
as the leader or follower in the ranks,
Capt. Bowen has always been loyal and
brave in fighting for the cause. In the
third place, his appointments being urged
by Gen. Walker, the present Congressman
from the Ninth District. Cen Walker is
the only man except Capt. Bowen who has
ever carried this district for the party. In
the Fall of 1891, when the banner of Re-
publcanism was trailing in the dust in
Virginia, Walker came to the front and
won such decided victory for the partyin
our district that hope was once more re-
stored to the ranks of the disintegrated
party in the State When the popular free
silver question threatened to take possess
ion of all sections of Virginia heagain took
up the banner of Republicanism in the
Ninth district and carried il to triumphant
victory.
This district and the Tenth, carried by the
Hon. Jake Yost were the only ones that the
Republicans carried in the State. Capt.
Bowen ard his friends did much to con-
tribute to the success Of Gen. Walker
There are some Republicans in Virginia,
even some in the Ninth District, who are
laboring to have Tlesident Mckinley ig-
more Gen. Walker, Capt. Bowen and the
Republicans oc the Southwest. If the adj
mnistration listens to these men and ig-
nores the representative of the stronghold
of RepubIicanism in Virginia, as we'll as
the just claims Of that stronghold, he will
make Il serious mistake. We do not be-
y lieve the administration will be influenced
by such unwise and selfish counsel.
