Last Saturday evening Chal Stur-
geon arrived in this city with the
body OF his brother, Arthur Stur-
geon, whose death was chronicled
in The Journal Of last week, and on
Sunday afternoon Rev. E. H. Votaw
conducted funeral service at the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. &. Sturgeon, and the body was
laid away in the Extra Cemetery.
AT the time of his death Arthur was
working on ranch about one mile
out from Emerson, Nebraska, a
town west Of Sioux City, and that
day was assisting in cleading out
an eighteen-foot we'll at the house
on the ranch. The owner of the
place had thought of and intended
going down in this we'll to remove
some pieces of the curbing that had
fallen down, out not being an ex-
pert climber Arthur had volunteer
ed to go down in his place and
when at the bottom of the we'll the
men at the top called out and asked
how it was down there and Arthur
answered back that it was pretty
rocky and that he guessed he would
come up. He was within six feet of
the top when the men were horrl-
fled to see him loose his hold and
fall to the bottom of the we'll. Mr..
Charley McVey, his brother-in-law
was standing, at the top of the well
and hastily tying cloth over his
mouth and nostrils ne risked his
own life, descended to the bottom
of the we'll, tied rope about
Arthur's body and assisted in rails
ing the body to the surface. Every
means known was used to resusci-
tate the unfortunate man, but to no
avail, and soon life was extinct. He
was about thirty years of age, and
in the full strength of manhood and

A FORTUNATE AVOIDANCE.

The people Of Lincoln. Neb., are said to be
generally disinclined to have their city made
the scene of non-partisan demonstrations IN
honor of the Democratic candidate during this
campaign. Instead therefore, OF creating a
rhetorical storm centre at his own home Mr..
Bryan will journey to other places where his
presence may be desired and whence his
speeches can be disseminated as easily and
effectively as if they were delivered at Lin
coin. Explanations of this somewhat unex-
pected development differ, but it is not wholly
unreasonable to conjecture that his more in
telligent fellow citizens, including possibly some
who may feel constrained to vote for him,
shrink from attempting to counterfeit an ap-
pearance of interest and respect while listen
ing to such a declaration this from Mr..
Bryan's lips: THE Republican party, which
was unwilling that black man should be
sold for $1,000, now claims that a Filipino
"can be bought for 50 80. The principle is ex-
"actly the same"
1t has been curious to note on the part Of
men who formerly despised the shallow intellect
and oratorical tricks of Mr.. Bryan, but who
have now attained to such a degree Of deep
seated prejudice" against President Mckinley
that they openly or secretly hope for his defeat,
a growing eagerness to convince themselves
and others that the Democratic candidate has
acquired a powerful mind and sober judgment
during the last four years, has been imbued
with deep sense of responsibility and become
an impressive exponent of great truths Doubt
less their cherished hostility to the President
has made the task easier than it would other
wise have been, but yet the strain upon their
nerves must have been considerable already,
ahd they have good reason to shudder at the
prospect before them when they find in a
b1v boir dor
the inspiring circumstances of his return to
Lincoln from the notification trip SO melancholy
an example of ignorance or deceitfulness as that
which we have quoted. How is it possible to
talk gravely of the mental and moral growth Of
man who is capable of making such a state
ment with every appearance Of confidence and
satisfaction? If Mr. Bryan's fellow townsmen
prefer that utterances of this sort should be
heard and applauded elsewhere rather than at
Lincoln there is no occasion TO reproach them
with lack of hospitality and local pride

MR. sHEPARD's ANALOGY.

Mr.. Edward NJ Shepards apology is an
analogy He strives to excuse his rafting" to
Organism by drawing a parallel between 1862
and 1900 In the former year. he tells us, in
order to save the Union and to free the negroes
this Government adopted paper currency In
the latter year in order to defeat what he
regards as the pernicious heresies of "impe-
rialism," he is willing for the country to adopt
the free coinage of silver at Is to THAT is to
say. deprecated and dishonest currency. 1t
will obviously occur to the discriminating
reader that Mr.. Shepard's analogy is false and
his logic hopelessly bad.
In the first place, the paper currency of 1862,
though for q time deprecated, was never dis
honest. 1t ultimately redeemed to the
uttermost cent at par in gold. There never was
a greenback issued which the Government did
not intend thus to redeem. and which 1t In time
did not thus redeem upon demand. Mr.. Shepard
knows perfectly well, according to his own
better utterances of four years ago. that such
would not be the case with the ifty-cent silver
dollars which he is now trying to foist upon
the Nation He must realize that it is the
rankest sophistry TO try to establish an analogy
between an honest and dishonest currency.
Again. the issue of paper currency was merely
an incidental means TO the preservation of the
Union. 1t was not the chief means. nor was it
done for It's own sake. The operations of the
National armies were the real means employed
for the ends the Government then had in view.
The issue OF paper currency was merely a
necessary detail. Does Mr.. Shepard mean to
persuade his followers or dupes, that dishonest
depreciation of the currency Is now an essential
means to the defeat Of vicious tendencies of
government? Does he mean that there is no
way of keeping this Republic from becoming
an empire except by repudiating It's debts and
degrading its credit?
If Mr. Shepard is opposed to maintenance of
this country's legal and moral rights in the
Philippines, and to the policy OF the Mckinley
Administration upon that subject, that is his
right. But he will not add TO his repute as a
clear thinker and honest pleader by pretending
that the only way to make such opposition
manifest is to debase the currency, pack the
Supreme Court and block the administration of
