politics by running for governor, and
he evidently cannot be elected. His
defeat of two years ago of about 30, 600
is now doubled and it is hoped he is
disposed of.
The contest in this county over the
county candidates was earnest but
dignifed. 1t is ended with the election
and we think no bitterness worth men
tiOning has been engendered. The
contest has been without bitter person
alities. With very slight exception
or two the Advocate has been conduct
ell geutlemanly and we have tried to
conduct these columns properly. Both
sides went in to win one won and the
contest is over.
The republicans will rather disagree
ably remember some things that few
men who profess to be republicans did,
men who fight the republican party
under cover of being republicans
themselves, but as their work was
slight in results, and as they want to
drop the matter, republicans are also
inclined to do so.
Asmus Boysen made a big run,
gong ahead of the state ticket The
opposition so much talked failed to
develop. He received a great home
endorsement. We think he will be an
able and creditable member of the leg
islature
Fern Anderson will be the first re-
publican sheriff since Henry Herbert
went out fourteen years ago. Fern
will be q good one. He had lots of
faithful workers in this campaign, and
he deserved them all. "Hamp" Jones
made a strong fight, but the opposition
to him in his own party was consider
able. There is no doubt but that in
most ways he has been a good sheriff.
Charley BRENNAN is from now on
recognized as an old resident of our
county. He won out splendidly. His
opponent got good many republicans
in his vicinity, but in the town OF
Extra, and i'll Greedy and Hamlin town
ships which are close to him, ran hin
ahead. He will be a splendid officer
Although Arthur Farquhar came
out as the hind man on our ticket, ye
he is nearly the hero of the campaign

The value of rubies below the weight
OF l carat ranges from $40 to $40 per
carat, while stones of greater weight
than carats are of such exceptional
occurrence as to command fancy
prices. When perfect ruby of carats
is brought into the market ten times
as much will be offered for it as for a
diamond of the same weight. The sup
posed largest ruby known Is one
brought from China, which now forms
a part Of the imperial crown jewels OF
Russia. The two most important ru-
bies ever known in this country were
brought here in 1875. One was dark
colored stone, cushion shape, Weighing
81 carats; the other a blunt stone,
drop shape, of AZ 1-6 carats. The
smaller stone, it is affirmed, sold for
about $4,000, while the larger one
found purchaser on the continent at
500, 1000.

Republicans carried the day in this
county Tuesday and elected the
first straight ticket they have elected
since 1888. The result is given in the
unofficial table given elsewhere. The
result is very gratifying to republicans
and they are rejoicing. You can tell
them on the street when you see them or
on the road when you meet them. How
ever, there are also several democrats
who look pleasant over the result,
many of whom helped us on part of
the ticket. To them the republicans
make the proper acknowledgements.
However it is we'll enough to call at
tention to the fact that more republi-
cans helped democratic county candi-
dates than democrats helped republic
can candidates. Republican voters
are more liberal as rule than demo-
Gratis, and do not stay as close to their
party ticket. This is shown by the
fact that most of the republican county
candidates received less than their
party vote. A few democrats scratched,
but a few more republicans did
The marjority of 377 on the state
ticket is the largest that the party ever
had in the county, so we are told by
those who have been here longest, and
to have this come in an off year, was
even more than we could have expected.
We think there are several reasons for
this. One is, the argument has been
ON our side this year. The better
prices and this prosperity helped us.
The patriotism of the people rallying
to the support of our honored presi-
dent while the democrats hurled crit
icisms at him when he was trying to
put down a rebellion, helped us in
making votes.
Then the united and effective work
of the several republican leaders who
assisted by making speeches and by
other personal work, and the good
organization of township and school
district committeeman and the many
other interested republicans in every
township, these all helped to win and
make possible this victory. Many Of
these deserve especial mention, but the
list would grow to too great lenght.
The magnificent victory of Gov
Shaw is good testimonial to him per
sonally as we'll as an endorsement o
the party and it's principles. The at
tacks of the enemy have been aimed a
him and he has met them and the peo
pie have indicated him by giving hin
10000 plurality and $4,000 maiorit
over all, the largest any candidate 70
governor of Iowa ever received.
Iowa's loyalty to the administratio
when we are engaged in foreign wa
will surely not be questioned again fo
some time to come.
We do not desire to speak unkindl
OF the democrats, or their candidates
but we hope they will not run Ere
White for governor any more. ii
isn't the kind of man that woul
honor the exalted position if he wer
elected, and he doesn't honor low

into effect January 1, 1900. There will
be 5000 employees retired and pension
ed on that date. Thereafter all officers

and pensioned on the LIST day of the
month following their attainment OF
that age.
The plan also provides an age limit
for the employment of new men, nc

Employees retiring under the plan are
to receive a pension averaging l per
cent for each year of service. 1t also

A CONFUSED AND DIVIDED PARTY

Last week a member Of the house in
debate referred to Mr.. Cleveland as the
greatest democrat since Jackson, and
the report says the remark caused de-
risive laughter on the democratic side.
The incident serves to show the torn
up condition of the party. Cleveland is
the only a the democrats have re-
elected since Jackson's day. He re-
ceived the nomination three times. He
is the only democrat who has reached
the presidency since 1856. His second
term expired less than three years ago,
and yet his name excites nothing but
sarcastic merriment among the demo-
Gratis in congress. The point seems to
be a confession that the one democratic
president in half a century was one too
many. His W party. after repeatedly
bestowing upon him their highest hon
ors through a long term of years, have
nothing left for him but a mocking
laugh. If they are right now, they were
wrong in 1884, 1888 and 1892, and are
simply acknowledging an unlimited
capacity for making mistakes.
No doubt Mr.. Cleveland has some
friends and admirers left in democratic
circles, but they a have little in com
mon with the element now running
the organization. The party is split
up in 81 many ways that it is next to
impossible to describe them all. There
are gold democrats, silver democrats,
) greenback democrats, expansion dem
ocrats and other subdivisions too num-
erous to mention. Only about thirty
democrats could be mustered to sup
port the pretensions Of Roberts of
Utah, though their new leader in the
house tried to point the way. 1t is
true that Roberts has a particularly

Washington dispatches bear the in
formation that Congressman Mondell
has introduced his bill for the benefit
of settlers entering desert land. If his
bill becomes a law, and there is no rea-
son why it should not, desert entrymen
will be required to pay 25 cents per
acre cash, and will be given patent up
on making proof Of reclamation at any
time within four years from entry.
The yearly proof Of improvements will
will be required the same as under the
present law. The fees will be the same
as in homestead entries. This amend
ment to the desert land law should
make it a very popular mode of OBJ
tanning title to public lands, for the
reason that residence upon the land
will not be required and patent may
be obtained at any time after the re-
clamation is completed.

Defective Hearing on Railroads

Attention is called in medical jour
mails to the desirability of testing rail-
way employees for defective hearing as
well as for color-blindness. A recent
examination in Europe developed the
fact hat out Of eighty-two fremen
and engine-drivers only three pos
sessed perfectly normal hearing. 1t Is
suggested that there should be a stand
ard Of hearing power for the examina-
ton Of employees who have to depend

The Republican would be pleased to
see the ladies of Laramie who are urg-
ing the improvement OF the city take
hold of the matter of a city park. This
is a city improvement greatly needed.
II it is a fact, as many have stated,
that the present site will not do, then
the sooner it is abandoned and another
site selected the better for all concern
ed. But The Republican is not willing
to grant that the present site is not a
proper one. In the early days of Lar
annie an old Chinaman used to make
the finest kind of a garden on the south
side Of Spring creek, thus proving in a
practical N that vegetation will
grow there. Even with the slight care
they have received, trees have lived
and ven thrived on the present site.
The land should be broken, thorough
ly fortified and seeded with lawn
grass, and arrangements should be
made for an ample supply of water.
