NebIaskans at their own game. We
have the gall-and that is about the
only qualification necessary be
sides, we have the advantage of hav.
Ing sent a good many thousands of
our brothers down there before,
with whom we could affiliate.
Then, we have the diversified tai
ent necessary among our members,
to fill all the officers. We realize
that Populist in Kansas had about
as we'll ask for slice of the moon as
for an Office. We areTeally worse off
than our Nebraska brothers in that
line.
1t is truly a shame that such talent
as we possess should not be better
appreciated by this great state. Why
even in this county we have many
able fnanciers whose talent would
shame the memory of John Sherman
could they be allowed to exercise
it in behalf of our common country.
Then as to craftsmanship, why
every school district in this county
could furnish one or more statesmen
the peer of Gladstone or Blaine.
All they lack is the opportunity to
exercise their talents in the affairs of
state. Then, we could mention
them by the score with special ap-
titude for such positions as U. S.
Senator, Congressman, ETC., to say
nothing of the governors and state
officers.
We are in favor of making break
for Oklahoma. We don't think it
is doing justice tc our statesmen to
sit idle on our oars, with so many of
them out of job and this inviting
field before us, about to be occupied
by the Nebraska Pops, who are no
more loyal to the lost cause than are
we,
Let US move on this colorado and
in force. We can rely greatly on
our brothers who have preceded us
there. They have become so en-
crossed with the carnal things of
this world that they have forsaken
politics pretty much and quit trying
to run the government and become
very much engrossed with the world
ly idea of raising wheat and cotton,
cattle and corn and building fine
houses and beautifying their farms;
we think when the old war cry is
sounded in their ears, of the octopus,
the seven conspiracies, the money
sharks and barons, they will prick
up their ears like the old war horse
when the trumpet sounds, and say,
"Lead on"
Then, brothers, let our watch
word be, "On to Oklahoma"
There is where the offices are.
Statehood will come and our talent
will be needed and we hope apprec
lated better than in this state, to
which we rendered our best talent
and offered free so much good ad-
vice, which was so scornfully rejec-
ted. There in that favored land
we may yet be appreciated and re-
ceive the rewards our earnest self
sacrificing efforts merit.

WHO'S "wE?"

William Jennings Bryan said
in his speech at Grand Forks:
"They tell us that WE are pros
porous, still [ have travelled far
and the condition Of prosperity
which is claimed has eluded me.
It is always in some other place.
Who then are WE? The PROS
porous ones are the great mag
mates at the head of the trusts.
They then must be the ones who
are termed WE. It is said WE
are loaning m oney to foreign
countries. 1t is the national
bankers in Wall street who are
loaning and they get their money
from the government treasury free
of charge to loan to foreigners
while interest rates on farm loans
through the west have been ad-
vanced one per cent. Who then
are WE?" It would seem that if
there is condition of prosperity
it is not to be found with the
business man, the farmer or the
people III the common walks of
life, but with certain favored
class who should be prosperous as
they are prosperous at our expense.
The increase rate of interest we
have to pay on our farm loans
aids their prosperity. Let us then
throw up our hats and shout for
JOY at their condition Of prosperity
even if there is long cold winter
before us and fuel and other
necessities on the upward tendency.

ed these loans for the foreigners?

than they did last year. Who
were the noted ones outside Of the

a subject for our self-gratulation.
Let us all take off our hats and
shout before we become SO hungry
we can't shout and we'd better be
mighty quick about it too.

THE SILENT VOTE.

In the trip recently made
through North Dakota by William
J. Bryan material is furnished
which leaves politicians, especially
the. republican ones guessing.
The crowds were there, but their
attitude was, different to that
shown when Bryan visited our
state four years ago when the
people went wild with enthusiasm,
but did rot vote for him. This
time, and the republican press
draws special attention to the
fact, the waiting crowds heard
Bryan in silence. But this ST.
lence was not the silence Of con-
tempt. But this silence was not
the silence Of contempt, twas not
the silence of men who were
refusing to harken to the argu-
ments supporting the planks Of
the democratic platform. At all
stops made even at Grafton,
Iwhera what was considered the
coldest crowd Of the day was met
if the republican papers are to be
believed Bryan and the men
accompanying him looked down
upon seas Of upllfted, interested
faces. at every step-eyen at
Grand Forks, where Bryan en-
countered the biggest crowd Of re-
pubiioans met during his trip
through the state the listeners
hung on to every utterance Of the
speaker, and by motions Of the
head betrayed the interest they
were taking in what he was saying.
All this was strange and new to
the republicans leaders who have
heard Of the strange receptions
are now busy discussing it. The
silent voter the man who never
mounts Q dry goods box to air his
political views, who never tells his
real vote until he drops the curtain
|of the election booth behind him
and records it on the ballot made
up the major portion Of the crowds
that listened to Bryan il North
Dakota and If is hard to even
uesaswhat the silent vote will 40.
The trus signiiffi finance is that The
people are awakening to ditiona

| silence foretells that they have
made up their mind d and are nov

THE COMING ELECTION.

The ballot will not be as cumber-
some as that in use in many of the
states, for the reason that there
are not as many tickets filed, and
for the additional reason that the
legislature has provided that the
name of no candidate shall appear
more than once in the official
ballot. In other words, where a.
cand1datehas received nominations
from more than one party he must
elect in which column his name
shall appear. Formerly the
candidates name appeared as
many times as he had received
nominations from different parties,
but this has been done away with.
There will be six columns for
candidates ON the official ballot.
The republican ticket will have
first place, as that for which the
greater number of votes were cast
at the last election. Then will
come the fusion ticket, the in.
dependent democratic. Third will
be the populist ticket, nominated
by petition, then the prohibition
state ticket and then the social
democratic ticket. The straight
popu]ist ticket and the prohibi-
ton tickets are incomplete, only
partial state tickets have been
named. The social democratic
ticket was nominated by petition.
The sixth column on the ballot
will be for candidates nominated
by petition, and belonging to no
party designated. There will be
two ballot sheets to be voted on at
the election. One will contain the
names Of the candidates for Office
and the other the two constitution
al amendments which will be sub
mitted to the people. The
constitutional amendments are
printed on separate sheets to
insure full vote. In former
elections, when the question
amendments were tackled upon the
regular ballots, a great number of
the voters neglected to vote on
these questions and the object of
the vote was defeated. This year
the amendments are for the fuller
taxation Of express, telegraph and
dining car companies, and for the
creation of a state board of
pardons.

CAMPAIGN RooRBACKs.

This is the day of the roorback,
and the campaignlie stalks abroad
in the land. It is scarcely of any
use to warn people against them.
They will take on their usual
forms and will be for the most
part lost on the men they are sup
posed to influence, for the man
who feels the weight Of a baseless
charge in a partisan newspaper
probably isso far gone in partisan
ship that nothing could possibly
change him. This is demonstrated
in the flat failure Of the Kingman
canard printed Wednesday Of last
week in which some unknown Re-
publican said that an unidentified
young waman had told him that
W. J. Bryan's stenographer had
told her that Bryan had made
deal with a silver syndicate to
force the l6 to l plank on the Kan
sas City convention. Mr.. Bryan
was to get $l5O,OO0 for selling his
party out. Now, Mr.. Bryan has
been long enough in the force
light that beats about a pub
lie parsonage to prove that
his personal and political in
tegrity is unimpeachable. -Four
years ago there was some excuse
for bitter and blind partisans
charging Bryan with being the
agent Of the silver men. He was
comparatively unknown then. But
since that time his every act and
every movement has been observed
By keen and not to friendly eyes.
His everys utterance has been
scrutinized and weighed. His
bitterest foes now concede the
integrity Of the man and his mo-
tiyes. When men charge Bryan
with dish honesty they do it from
political motiYes, and not at all
from conviction. The Kingman
roorb back has notreceiYed editorial
dorsement from the more repu-
table of the Nc Kinley papers, and
| i will not. Republ blican editors
unde derstand very Well that thsir
Endorsement of the silly slander
would react. But they did not
lEscrnple To give the story plenty 81
prominence in their news columns.
The roorback may be looked for
in the publican papers from
now until election dsy. The
honest man seek king for truth

A man who said he was Capt. clark

in-law, Alexander Aronson &C Cincinnati,
and Mrs. Aromson, and stopped at the
st. Charles The man was stopping at
the hotel. He became fascinated with
Miss Warten and sent a card TO her room
telling her he was in command of the
battgeship and desired to meet her, Mr..
Aronson looked up Clark, believed his
representations and Clark and the young
lads were brought together. Two days
later they were married by Or. Perclyal
at the Church Of the Annunciation. The
next day Aronson learned Of some insane
actions OF Clark on the battleship, became
frightened and made an investigation ana
soon satisfied himself that the man was
either insane or an impostor Detectives

All that is wanted by the Outlanders,

In Mr.. nammord's opInl9n, the pres
eIt strife was forced upon President
Kruger by his inahiiitv TO longer con-
troll the widespread conspiracy he had
built up against England Dom Paul,
said Mr.. Hammond, was waiting for a
rupture between Great Britain and
some other power when he would make
his effort to attain independence. For
many years the Beers were actively
pursuing a scheme of conspiracy for
driving the English from South Africa
and were buying guns, building fortif-
cations and hiring foreign officers in an
ticipation of a conflict
1t might be supposed thar Mr.. Ham
mond was prejudieed in the matter in
favor of the English because of his
participation in movements against the
Beers, but, he claims. this view of the
matter would be wrong He spoke as an
American. he said, and put the facts Of
the case plainly before his auditors.

SAYS BRITAIN is RIGHT.
John Hays Hammond Condemns Dom
Paul and His Policy.

According 10 John Fl Hammond,
the American engineer whose activity at
johannesburg while associated with the
Rhodes mining interests at the time Of
the Jameson raid IN 1896. came near
costing him his life at the hands Of the
Beers. Americas sympathies In the Brit
ish- Boer conflict should be not with Dom
Paul but with her majesty's forces Mr.
Hammond gave expression 10 this view
at brilliant dinner given him few
days since in Chicago He spoke Of the
condition of affairs In the Transyaal
prior TO the war and took the opportunity
TO say that England was carrying on a
just war and thar the Beers were wholly
to blame for the present difficulty.
Mr. Hammond made the assertion that
the Transyaal mining industry would
never have achieved success we're it not
for the fact that English capital and
American ingenuity became interested
aud entered the field. The Outlauders,
he said. were invited to the territory by
Dom Paul, who, when they had served
his purpose, denied Them the right to ex-
list there By reason OF the oppressive laws
