Newspaper without Type.
From the New York Herald.

IUH tIt -NVW 1uIk Herald,
Petlt Bleu, prominent newspaper in
brussels, has made a new departure In
newspaper publishing. During a recent
strike of compositors and pressmen the
Petit B}eu appeared without the help of a
single compositor as richly illustrated
sixteen-page paper.
The news had been set up on a type
writer The single type written sheets and
PICTURES We're pasted on a large cardboard
corresponding in proportions to the size of
the newspaper Then the whole was re-
dueed by Photography to the actual siza,
and from the negative a print was made
on sensitized sheet of zinc With the aid
OF nitric acid the type and illustrations
We're etched in, and the result was a com
plets solid form ready for the press.

THE NEW RaLIDT

Nebraska voters will Tuesday be
called upon to record themselves upon
the new ballot never before used in this
city and state.
The ballot law enacted by the last
Legislature does away with what was
known as the pictorial ballot, as also
with the circle voting. In other words
instead of being permitted to vote for
the entire ticket with one cross-mark
placed within the circle under n party
emblem, such as the eagle or the cot
tage home, the voter will be compelled
to put cross-mark opposite the name
of each candidate for whom he wishes
his ballot to be counted.
The new ballot is more like that
which was in force in Nebraska before
the pictorial ballot was introduced, but
with this difference: On the original
Australian ballot in this state the
names of the candidates were arranged
alphabetically without regard to the
party by which the candidates We're
nominated. The present ballot contains
the names grouped by political parties
and placed in the order of the votes
polled by those parties at the last pre-
ceding election. Under the new law,
furthermore, "A candidate is not allowed
to have his name on the ticket more
than once, but when nominated by
more than one party, the name of the
candidate is followed by the names of
the various parties enclosed in n
bracket opposite which is the square
for the voters cross-mark should he
wish to record himself for that candi-
date.
The result this year is that the re.
publican candidates on the ticket have
their names followed simply by the
word republican" and the fusion can,
didates are designated by the names of
the fusion parties grouped in bracket,
The relative position of the tickets viii

of the different county clerks as to

for Bryans sake we want TO be careful and
not put him in an ONCE like supreme Judge
for Bryan's sake or for the sake OF any
ono cleo who could be so nprincipled as
to drag the supreme bench down TO the level
OF Tsmmany hall Doodle Joint.
Kearney Hub The contrast between ex-
Judge Reese and would-be judge Holcomb
Is exceedingly striking. The former stays
at home and attends TO his business. be-
lieving that a candidate for judge OF the
supreme court has no business tramping up
and down the political highways begging
for votes. The latter has put in all OF the
weeks OF the canvass attempting to ex-
plain his dubious record and dragging the
high office to which he aspres around in
the dirt after him. The former Is a man
fitted by experience and instinct for the
position The latter is not fitted for It at
all.
Seward Reporter: One OF the strongest
arguments in favor OF the election of Judge
Reese that we have seen Is a letter written
by r. ]. Nightingale, an attorney of Loup
City. Mr.. Nightingale is well known to
many old residents OF Seward county. hav-
ing resided here number of years ago
He has always been a democrat, but re-
CARDS the election OF judges as a matter
that should be settled outside of partisan
politics He has known Ex-Governor Hol-
comb since before his election as district
judge and speaks of his record as a Judge
and a politician from intimate knowledge
On summing up OF Mr.. Holcomb's char
acteristics he concludes that he Is in no
sense fitted for supreme Judge. Mr. Nightin,
gale speaks highly of the qualifications OF
Judge Reese and makes a comparison OF
the two which is greatly in favor of Reese
To all who know Mr.. Nightingale this let
ter will come with much force, as his hon
esty and high character are conceded by
all his acquaintances Coming from a dem
ocrat, who knows Mr. Holcomb intimately
and who has practiced in his court, the let
ter Is certainly worthy of consideration and
its evident candor and fairness make 1t very
much more entitled to credit than the usual
campaign argument

DISGRACEFUL CAMPAIGNING.

There is a code of honor among
thieves and gamblers and there is de.
cency in politics even if the politician is
of necessity compelled to wade through
the mire of the slums in order to get
votes.
In the present campaign the World
Herald has resorted to all that is vile,
low and indefensible from the stand
point of decent politics. Its columns
have been reeking with filth, falsehood
and perjury. Instead of confining the
campaign to the discussion of issues
and candidates, it has showered abuse
and vilification upon private citizens
who are not candidates for office, but
whose offense is opposition to the con-
glomerate ticket of sham reform.
In this campaign of vilitication the
irresponsible hirelings and blackmail-
ers have indiscriminately assaulted and
libelled men and women and fabricated
falsehoods concerning them in order to
make political capital for a desperate
cause. Instead of trying to manage the
campaign of their own party they have
republican party and have by deliberate
misrepresentation tried to impose upon
the few republicans who began to read
that sheet when it was supporting
Majors at $75 day.
Nothing could be more hypocritical
than the World-Herald's constant wall
about the wrongs of the coored man.
the alleged maltreatment of the Jews
the fictitious grievances of the Bohe-
mians and the terrible frauds by which
the republican county ticket was foisted
upon the party by the so-called Rose
water Moores machine.
Who has done more to insult and out
rage the colored people whenever the
opportunity offered than has the World
Herald?
Who constituted that sheet the cham
pion of the Jews, when it never ceases
by hool-nosed pictorials and anti-Se-
mitic screeds to create prejudice against
the Jews?
What have the Bohemians ever had
to show in this city and county in the
shape of office or patronage when the
| democrats We're in power?
And where is there any evidence
whatever that the republican primaries
We're carried by unfair means or that
fraud was perpetrated in the nominat-
ing convention?
AS matter of fact no primaries ever
held by any party in this county We're
more free from fraud and carried by
more decisive majorities. In the ban
ner republican wards, for example, the
Fourth and the Sixth, the delegates
chosen We're elected by two to one in

San Francisco Call: Over and over again
Brils critics have denounced the censored
reports sent out from Manila under the
orders OF General Otis. Over and over again
they have assumed a superior virtue in
lecturing the American people upon the mis-
representation of news. Never, however has
there ever been committed by the officials of
this country, whether civil or military, any
such wholesale and extraordinary misrepre-
sentation as that which is now being carried
on by the British.
Baltimore American: In all the victories
won by the Beers in South Africa these
sturdy fellows have proved that they can be
humane as well as brave. English soldiers
wounded and taken prisoner have been
treated by them with the utmost consdera-
tion, and their hospitals are as open to
their enemies as to their own men. Yet
| English writers have Iabored to make the
world believe that the Beers are little, If
any, better than sayages, brutal in their
| treatment of all in their power, possessing
| none of the instincts that are developed by
| true civilization. Boer kindness to their
captives shows how unjust are the charges
| their enemies have laid at their door.
| Springfield Republican,: Most of these
British regiments have histories that go
! back century or two. The Gloucestershire
regiment, which the Beers have so badly
! shattered, was under Wellington IN the
! Peninsula war, and in one battle there, wi h
rear rank faced about received French
! charges on both front and rear at the same
! time. For this distinguished feat Yelling
| ton allowed the regiment to wear a special
| badge on the back OF their shakos. The
! Royal Irish Fusileers, which also has been
| so badly cut up in South Africa, enjoys the
| glorious tradition of having captured the
| eagles OF a French regiment in the Napo-
leonic wars. Such traditions as these are
carefully nursed in military organizations,
and they serve to give a splendid esprit de
corps TO the rank and file. Most soldiers OF
| the queen can find enough TO fight for in
the honor OF the regiment" without think
| ing even Of their country, or going into the
merits that brought two peoples to war.

THE ONLY MENACE no PROSPERITY

THE ONLY MENACE TO PROSPERITY.
The only menace to prosperity is in
the possible success of the opposition
to the republican party in those states
where national questions have been
made most prominent in the campaign.
All the conditions are in the highest
degree favorable to continuance of
good times for several years to come
if the policies which have produced
prosperity shall not be threatened by
the success of the party of free silver
and free trade. Financial confidence
is now stronger than for many years
and the spirit of enterprise was never
more active among the people. To
maintain this, to prevent apprehension
in regard to the future. to encourage
the investment of capital in productive
enterprises, it is necessary to defeat
the party whose principles and policy
are hostile to everything that has con-
tributed to give the country the un-
rivalled prosperity it now enjoys.
The basis of that prosperity is con-
tidence in the future. That confidence,
now strong and general, could not fail
to be to some extent impaired by re-
publican defeats. If in such states as
Ohio, Iowa and Nebraska, it should
he shown that majority of the people
are in favor of popocratic principles
the effect would be to create more or
less apprehension in regard to the re-
suit of the national contest of next
year. 1t would give encouragement to
the advocates of a debased currency
to prosecute their crusade against the
national credit and public and private
integrity with increased zeal and vigor
Although the popOcratic party has in
Its campaign given the greater promi-
nence to so-called Imperialism and to
trusts, everybody understands what
the real purpose of that party is. All
men know that if given power to direct
national affairs that party would
change the monetary standard from
gold to silver and would so change the
tariff as to greatly lessen or destroy
protection to home industries Every
body familiar with the public record
he is as earnestly devoted to free trade
as he is to free silver and that it is
only very recently that he has
evinced any concern about the trusts
Even now he merely rails against the
combinations, without suggesting any
practicable means for their suppression
or remedy for the evils connected with
them.
All classes of people, except popo-
cratic Otticeseekers, desire the continu-
ance of prosperity. The farmer the Ia
borer and the man of business want it.
In order to promote it, it is necessary
that confidence shall not be impaired
and that the policies which have plo-
duced prosperity shall be sustained.
Republican success will assure a con,
tinuance of the conditions which pro-
duce prosperity.
