There is much dissatisfaction
among the ~populists of Nebraska
over the failure of the democrats to
endorse rowne and the populists in
Custer Go. in that state adopted a
set of resolutions denouncing the
action of the democrats in nominat-
ing Stevenson as an insult to the
populist party and calling upon the
populist national committee to with.
draw the name of VIM. j. BRYAN

The. latest government wheat crop
report places the condition of wheat
in Minnesota at 4S, in South Dakota
at Al and in North Dakota at so.
70 this, III. V. Jones, the wheat
crop expert of the Minneapolis
Journal, takes strong exception,
claiming that unwarranted state
ments, without foundation, about
the northwest yield have been put
in circulation. He estimates the
minimum yield of these three states
at 1875, 100000 bushels and the
possible yield 10000, 600 bushels
against 203, 100000 bushels in 1899.
He backs his estimates with an array
of figures and with positive state
ments as to condition Of grain and it
is possible that with the improve.
ment in wheat since the recent rains
and cooler weather, he is as near cor
rect as the government experts whose
estimates were compiled at a period
when the outlook was the darkest.
The activity of the bear element in
the wheat market would indicate a
larger yield than promised in the
government crop report.

The news from. Picking continues
vague and contradictory. The world
is informed that the foreigners have
all been cruelty murdered, and the
next cable will bear assurances they
are safe. The situation in China is
certainly critical and all indications
point to a world war. Chinese
forces have invaded Siberia. which is
considered equivalent to declaring
war against Russia. The most en-
couraging news is that the allied
news is that the allied forces have
captured Tientsin.

attacking the trusts is a plutocrat.
The following extracts are fair sam.

either was an Endorsement of both. There
can be no reunited democracy under that
sort OF leadership. Mr.. Bryan himself
proclaimed such a reunion absolutely
impossible. He denounced all gold stan.
dard men as conspirators against the
public veal. Those who had formerly
acted with the democratic party he an
athematized as traitors and in a familiar
speech at Richmond, Va. declared that
they shall be branded as traitors, and
shall not come back.

purchasing power so that now n acre
of it will buy 100 gold dollars and when
| saw it sold first one acre would buy
only one dollar and a quarter. According
to the economics of Bryanarchy this land
with a constantly increasing purchasing
power, is the enemy of the poor and a
n to society. According to the de-
mocratic platform good honest land
should never appreciate in value, nor
should any other honest thing.
There was a balmy humor that was ex-
ceedingly refreshing with the tempera-
ture at 100 in the shade in the aggress-
i've wal made against trusts by Messrs.
Van Wyck. Carroll and Croker. l I'M
derstand that Judge Van Wyck wrote
the antitrust plank in the platform
while sitting on a cake of Knickerbocker
ice, trust brand, warranted to remain be-
low zero, and sold to the residents of
tenement houses and other plain people
and to the government of the city of
New York at / cent a pound.
DIn 1898 Mr.. Bryan was assessed for
for $3.50 and in 1894 for $500 of personal
property. In 1895 and 1895 he was re-
turned as a lawyer and assessed for $40
and S270 of personal property. During
the years 1S97-S-9 and 1900, while en-
gagged in his presidential canvass he
gives no occupation but he is assessed
for 5 1,4S4, S2,9S0 and $4,560 in personal
property, and | understand that he has
$4,000 in government bonds on which
he pays no taxes. Thus, one may OBJ
serve that the business of running for
president under a gold standard law has
made MIR. Bryan a plutocrat and caused
him to wax monopoIistic and trustworthy
as at axpaying citizen.
This imperialistic craze is nonsense.
