Out in Nebraska.

The fall campaign in Nebraska is
home of Bryan. No governor or Leg
islature is to be elected. only a judge
and one or two minor state officials.
Still. public attention will be directed
to the campaign in that state, and the
indications are that the silver leaders
most frantic efforts will not prevent
his state from swinging into the Re
publican column in splendid style. 1t
is more than a straw that at last
weeks state convention of the Repub-
leans the greatest enthusiasm was
given to the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley and the prosecution of
the Philippine war. This is probably
due in some degree to the recent re-
turn of the Nebraska regiment whose
members, almost to a man, are enthu
ly have only contempt for those who
assail the flag and keep up a fire from
the rear.
There were present at this convcn-
ton many Republicans who, in 1856,
were carried away by the delusive
promises of the silverites. They have
seen their mistake. and joined with
| their party in the convention in pledg
| ing support to the administration in its
management Of affairs at home and
abroad and in denouncing the Demo-
cratic Aguinaldists as allies of the bar
barians who are resisting the authority
of the United States. One feature of
| the convention was the speech of
| Chaplain Malley of the Nebraska regi-
mcnt who electrified the convention
and promises to be the drawing card
Of the campaign upon the stump. He
said that he had never voted the Re
publican ticket and would not hesitate
| to be against the administration now
| if he believed it to be wrong. but "in

In Iowa there is a law which forbids
any savings bank to allow its deposits
TO become more than ten times as
great as the amount of the capital
STOCK. Never before this year has this
provision interfered with their bust
ness, but of late many of them have
suddenly been confronted with the al
tentative of refusing deposits or in
creasing their stock. Naturally they
chose the latter course. and no less

Dewey Literature.

Among the numerous presents which
it is planned to bestow upon Admiral
Dewey when he reaches this country
is an immense scrap book, the largest
ever made, filled with clippings about
himself and his achievements. 1t is
not claimed that this unique volume
will contain one hundredth or one ten
thousandth of the matter that has been
printed about the hero of Manila. But
it will serve to give the modest YER
monter some idea of the results OF MS
great victory in printers ink. he may
already realize what he has done as
maker of history; a perusal OF tniS
scrap book will give him some idea OF
the great factor he has been III oo-
nestle history during the past Il
months.
What a vast amount of Dewey inter-
Azure has been showered upon the
world since May /, 1898. It has been

Rocks have been printed with Dewey
&c their theme and there are many
moro to come. The man never lived
who had SO much written and printed
abo,,t him in the same length of time,
as Admiral Dewey. Probably no man
was ever more talked about in the
same time by the whole world.
Three books on Dewey have just been
issued They are The Hero of Ma
Mia" by Rossiter Johnson: Admiral

and George Dewey, Admiral by
Frederick Palmer. who writes especial

Dewey books. magazines and clippings
could be easily collected, and it would
be a most interesting as well as
large collection. The makers of titles
for the later Dewey books may have
to exercise their ingenuity to avoid
repetitions, but they will be equal to
the occasion.
All this show what a great popular
idol Admiral Dewey has become ana
will continue to be. The public never
tires of reading of him. There is some
thing fascinating about it and people
read with cagerness the same reminis-
cences and descriptions dressed little
differently in different magazines. TIL

1t is to be regretted that the Dewey
reception committee should have so
Numbered in its plans as to have
brought about any unpleasantness with
the veterans of the Civil War The
matter should be adjusted as quickly
and handsomely as possible. The only
body of men entitled to precedence of
the veterans of '6l-65 in that parade is
the crew of the Olympia. The veterans
OF the war with Spain and the New
York National Guard should step in
gracefully behind them, and be proud
to be allowed in the same line with
them.

The picking season is with us.

Bath Times: A peculiar coincidence
is related by NJ. II. Douglas, the
clothier. About a year ago a lady
bought a pair of wooden gloves at the
store of j. l.. Douglas & Son. Later
she exchanged them for another pair
and it happened after the season was
over that the first pair was packed
away. short time ago Mr.. Douglas
sold lot of gloves to a Hebrew dealer,
including this particular pair. The
Hebrew sold this pair of gloves to
man who boards with the original lady
purchaser. He took them home and in
trying them on found in one of them
2 small bunch of keys which his land
lady had lost year ago. 1t seems
that when she returned the gloves she
left the keys in them.
