DoLLIvER APPOINTED.



Fort Dodge, Ia, Aug. 23.-Fort
Dodge went stark mad with joy at the
appointment of Congressman Jona-
than Prentiss Dolliver as United
States senator to succeed the late
John II. Gear. Everywhere last night
there was wild jubilation. The church
bells rang, whistles screeched, fire.
works were discharged and the atmos-
phere was dense with powder smoke.
Thousands of persons shouted APP
proval Of Gov. Shaw's action and in
dorsed his choice. Mr.. Dolliver is
not at home, being away on lectur-
ing tour with Champ Clark, of Mis-
souri,, but upon his return monster
reception and demonstration will be
given in his honor. Fort Dodge claims
Dolliver and for many days to come
Dolliver can claim Fort Dodge. There
is no doubt among the local politicians
but that Mr.. Dolliver will be able to
so fortify himself and win the graces
of the people that he will be elected
by the legislature at its next sessions,
over year from now, for the long
term.

Democrats and tho Trusts.

In bis address Saturday night J. H.
Atwood recited st length the evils Of
trusts and charged the Republicans
with responsibility for their existence.
He was particularly bitter in regard
to antitrust Legislation Of 70 years
ago and arraigned the Republicans
because the national administration
had not enforced it, apparently for
getting that Democratic admins.
tration has been in power large por-
ton Of the time. As q matter Of fact
the Democrats have the wrong side
Of the argument on trusts.
The Republican party has always
been earnest and practical in its Ell.
forts to restrain and suppress the
trusts. The Democratic has always
been insincere, has done nothing to
limit the power Of trusts and mas a.
ways opposed restrictive legislation
when the Republican party introduc.
ed it, thus showing an effectual
friendship for the monopolies. The
record is notorious.
The Republicans never put q spe-
cial clause in any law to favor any
trust, as the Democrats did in the
Wilson. German law to favor the
sugar trust.
The Republicans made and passed
the Sherman act; the Democrats OPP
posed it.
The Republicans passed an anti
trust clause in the Mckinley law;
the Democrats opposed 1t.
The Republicans tried to retain
that clause in the Wilson-Gorman
tariff; the Democrats cut 1t out.
The Republicans proposed an anti
trust section Of the Dingley tariff act.
The Democrats opposed 1t and defeat
cd it.
The Republicans proposed a con-
stitutional amendment giving con.
gress absolute power to abolish every
kind Of monopoly, in the last session
Of congress. The Democrats voted
against it and defeated 1t.
The Republicans proposed last SEES
sion another law which went as far
as the constitution at present allows,
but the Democrats showed no dis
position to assist in putting 1t through
in the crowded work Of the session.
This is an unanswerable record Of
facts. The Republicans, we say,
have beenlhostile to the trusts. The
Democrats have been friendly to
them.

No Change Wanted.

The current issue OF the Nebraska
Dairyman contains q significant edi-
torial on the duty Of the farmer and
dairyman to commune in secret
with himself" before deciding on his
political allegiance this year. The
Dairyman is not political journal.
1t is devoted wholly and unreservedly
to the development Of the dairy and
farming interests Of the state, and
when it ventures word on politics
it is only for the purpose Of assisting
its readers in securing for themselves
the largest possible amount Of COM
fort and prosperity. II politics has
anything whatever to do with the
material conditions OF the western
farmer, the Dairyman believes that
the men on the farms owe it to them
selves to prepare their votes in &C
cordance with their own ideas and
experiences rather than after the ad.
vice Of professional politicians whose
only interest is the acquisition Of a
fat office.
When smoke is belching forth from
our factories, when the day laborer is
carrying dinner pail-these are de-
cidedly evidences Of prosperity for
the farmer, for the factory and the
wage Garner create a demand and
utilize the products Of the farm. The
Dairyman says:
"To us, looking at the situation
from a non-partisan standpoint and
glancing back at the condition Of our
people, we shudder to anticipate that
there is even a possibility Of return
Of the experiences and conditions Of
four years ago. We will not discuss
the subject as to whether the present
administration Of our government is
the best-we will simply ask the
farmer, Do you want return Of the
times experienced six years prior to
1892 II politics is in any manner
responsible for the business condi-
tons Of our country, we feel that
every farmer ought to be in favor Of
a continuation Of the present condi-
tions which, in our estimation, show
a wonderful improvement over the
few years preceding 1897"
1t is the opinion Of the shrewdest
political observers that the campaign
Of 1900 will be decided by this issue
alone. The farmers and laboring
men have had all the experience they
want with unnecessary political
changes and will vote en- masse
against disturbing the satisfactory
conditions now in existence.

Brutally Slain In jail.

Sioux City, Ia, Aug. 24.-In the
Jail at Wayne, Neb., Robert Bigham,
of Dunbar, Neb., was brutally slain
by another man who gives his name
and address as Adolph Wonlund, of
auckland, Mo. The slayer gave as
his reason for committing the horri-
BILE crime-the crushing of Bigham's
face with his heels-that the muir
dered man was an enemy of his soul
and God had ordered him to do the
bloody work.

Murdered Because He Would Not Treat.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 24.-Early yes
terday morning Harry Floth, en-
ployed by the Barber Asphalt COM
pany; Leo Coyne, employed in the
Union Pacific shops, and Mike Moll-
ner, a laborer in the Farrell strip fac
tory, murdered E. J. Fee, an electro
clan, because he would not furnish
money with which to pay for can
of beer. The three men were arrest
ed at noon and taken to the police
station, where, in the presence Of
Chief Donohue, Capt. Her, assistant
county attorney, and Stenographer
Wilson, they made a full confession.
When Fee declined to treat Mollner,
Floth and Coyne beat his face with
their fists and kicked him in the
stomach. As they went away Fee
staggered to his feet and was knocked
down again, the men this time rifing
his pockets.

CAPT. M'cALLA's REPORT.
An Interesting Account Made Public Of the
Dong. Of the la ssnaiio"ai C0luna
Under ADMIRAL Reymaur.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The navy de-
partment has made public the report
of Capt. B. H. McCalla. who was in
command Of the American contingent
Of the international column under
Admiral Seymour, that, on June 10,
made the first move in the relief Of
Pekin, but which was cut off by the
Chinese troops on the road and forced
to turn back from Tang Tsun, being
in danger Of complete humiliation
before coming in touch with the re-
Inducements sent out to meet them
from Tien Tsin. The report is most
interesting, despite the official brew
ity with which the romantic features
of the story are dismissed and the
corresponding wealth of official, but
to the lay mind, unimportant detail.
The force Of which Capt. Mccall
las command was part was made
up of eight nationalities, British,
Russian, German, Austrian, Italians,
Japanese, French and American ma
rines and bluejackets. Its aggregate
strength was 2,07S officers and men,
of which 112 were the Newark's men.
These forces were all acting with
nominal independence, but were tacit-
ly under the command of Admiral
Seymour and operated as one body.
1t is interesting to note Capt. Nc
Calais description of how the various
commands co-operated, how the Brit
ish and Russians in turn helped to
shift the Newark's three-inch rifle
from one position to another when
the American crew was inadequate to
transport it, how the Americans led
the advance up the railway and pro-
tected the rear in the retreat and
how during the repeated attacks Of
the Chinese on the Tien Tsin, arsenal,
British, Russians and Americans in
turn would spring nto the breach to
defend the hard pressed outposts of
some other nationality that was bear
ing the brunt of the attack. The CO.
operation of the entire force seems
to have been perfect, and Capt. Nc
Gala has nothing but the warmest
praise both for Admiral Seymour and
all of the other officers who partici-
pated in the expedition.
