matter much to the community, after
the election, as to whether a man is
a republican or democrat But IL is
a matter Of vital importance to the
community whether "a man Is an hon.
est man or a thief. And IN this con.
nectiOn thief Is not name TO be
lightly used. No man, not even in
politics. Is justified In calling a man
dishonest without being more explicit.
If he Is not honest, he has stolen
something. If that be so, what was
1t? How much was it? When did he
steal it? Where did he steal it and
whom did he steal IL from? In these
days we have progressed in plain
speaking II not in politeness, and the
candidate who accuses his rival of dis.
honesty in general terms is condemned
OF injustice by the most ignorant of
his audience. Not that campaign
conducted in this way is admirable.
But the campaign of innuendo is
abominable. Every man, even the
transgressOr is entitled to fair play
and the spOrtsman's blood which fills
the veins Of most Of the spectators at
every contest. political or otherwise,
will see that he gets it.

these people, who buy only what they

patronage of the few rich men in the
largest city in this country Is not
comparable In bulk to the patronage
Of the poor and of those who are said
TO live from hand to mouth but
whose food Is paid for before eaten.
If William Waldorf AstOr's fortune or

English are not overjoyed and New

The Corn.
The last two weeks have not been
favorable to the corn. The weather
has been too hot and dry as the con-
ditiOn Of the corn in this section
shows. Much OF IT. is dry and
shriveled and loose on the cob. The
milk in the kernel has dried too
rapidly and yielded its moisture to
the air, leaving the kernel wrinkled
and insutficiently nOurished. Thus
our only inducement barring the
cultivation of a virtue for virtues
sake) to patience and submission is
destroyed. The delicate, hollow, silk.

are attached to each kernel in an ear

by the dry heat and the kernel is
starved. The effect OF the heat how.
ever Is not wholly disastrous for the
price of corn as result has risen.
The Carter Case.
The apOlOgists for Captain Carter
claim that his sentence was another
case of army prejudice and jealousy
like that Of Captain Dreyfus. This
is scarcely credible. Captain Carter
is not Jew, nor does he belong to a
nation or a sect which ignorance and
prejudice has been in the habit of
prosecuting He belongs TO a wealthy
family but when he was in charge Of
the harbOr contract he filled the

Old Stories.
A column of "Dont's" was published
in last weeks Courier, some of which
were peculiarly applicable to Lincoln.
Every place has idiOsyncratic features,
and Lincoln has its share. About in
its fortieth year the old dodgers of
Lincoln have fallen into the habit of
relating tales of the early times. This
is all very well but repetition maketh

lows himself to be leased into telling
a good story three or four times he Is
likely to get into the habit of telling

of the dodgers are not ESQ very old, not
much older than the city, but they

City Lighting.
The city pays SIS. 624 year for lights.
The gas company is not to be blamed or
called hard names for charging ne much
for electricity as the people will pay. A
high price is not robbery and compet-
tive market is the only regulator. Sen
timent has nothing to do with business
e'neS@ 30 uotVuoC ulOT6I OOr InWOT6I,
it is business and unrelated to anything
except the laws Of commerce.
The city council, l am sure, will keep
these principles which no one has made,
but which are immutabe in mind, when
dealing with the gas company.
Mr.. Thompson is the president OF the
gas company and is anxious to make
good bargain with the city for lights
next year. His private character and
the sntagonisms which were caused by
his political methods and ambitions
have nothing to do with the bargain the
gas company is anxious to make with
the city and the city is anxious to make
with the gas company.
The company is an old one. It has
enjoyed the use of the streets and alleys
