GRAFTON of the city council
The Post speaks for asphalt, because its use is no
longer experimental Experience has taught the world
that it is most valuable agent in the betterment of
highways and fixed it firmly in public favor A word

pavement ohtainable To insist upon asphalt is not to
labor in the interest of any particular paving company
nor for the benefit of any particular of contractors
There is plenty of competition in the business of laying
asphalt that the city in danger of being over
reached should it he determined to adopt asphalt in
this case, II but ordinary care is exercised in the
awarding Of contracts
In other words there is no reason to fear that less
honest work would be performed by asphalt than by

The republican party, like fond
parent, has dotted upon it's beautiful
progeny, the tariff, until the entire fam
lily seemed to think there was no other
"truly good and beautiful While our
tariff is "a thing of beauty and JOY
forever" it appears to the Chicago i'm
plement manufacturers that the Russian
variety is a horrid ogre. They have
actually called a meeting and notified
Secretary Gage that the infant industry
of making twine binders is being offered
as sacrifice upon the altar of the con-
sumptive sugar infant. 1t is really pre-
posterous that an attempt should be
made by Russia to cheaper agricultural
implements through the well-known re-
publican method of taxation. If all
nations would unite in protecting them
selves by a Mckinley tariff, wealth
would soon be drug on the market.
Mrs. Nation came to Chicago but
found the platform too tough even for
her and returned to the more congenial

Mansfield, the great actor, stated at a
reception that Good department. is

the next morning flew into rage be-
cause his mutton chop was not to his
liking and threw it against the wall of
his dining room. This is an eccentricity
of genius.
When Carrie Nation took up the
hatchet the Creek nation retired into

1t is a question Of some moment why
teachers should have a school maintained
for their profession any more than any
other business The maintenance of SO
many inferior schools is menace to our
real seats of learning and fosters the
idea that "a smattering" is an educa-
ton.
It transpires that Postmaster Gordon
of Chicago only contributed $lOO to the
campaign expenses last year. Under
Cne CIVIL SERVICE rules now preVd1llnS
Mr.. Gordon will soon be "benevolently
assimilated" with the common herd and
the office which knew him will know

A populistic surgeon at York, Neb.,
has been devoting much time to
hypnotism and asserts that by "sugges-
ton" man can be voted for Bryan and
Reform by simply indicating to sub
ject that con election day you will vote

of the field this opens up for the prac-
tical politician who wishes to be sure his
coin is not wasted or a candidate who
desires to have faith in his promises pre-
served until after the ballot is cast.
The Conservative, 1901-02-28
Che Conservative.

There is no justifying the use of the
government to protect any business
enterprise from loss or to insure
excessive profits.
The only man ever nominated for the
presidency by the republican party who
deserved to be called statesman was
Benjamin Harrison. He is today with
out question the greatest intellect in the
party, though it is likely to cost its
owner his position. The politician could
not grasp the situation when Harrison
was president: that the public service
should be considered instead of personal
friendship in appointments; that in out
lining policy that he should think of
the union and the future instead of the
party and present salaries, made him
almost as much of Sphinx as Cleve-
land. And now that he actually has
ideas of his own is creating a hubbub
equal to heresy trial in Presbyterian
church. In a party that CLOCKS to the
East to have Grand Master Mark
Hanna furnish all ideas, it actually
throws suspicion over Harrison that he
is leaning towards democracy because
he thinks for himself.
Bryan still insists that he was defeat
ed by his men being SO pusillanimous
that Mark Hanna bought them up like
sheep. But Mark record as business
man is shattered and he must be weep
ing over his wasted cash when he con-
templates how many more he bought
than were necessary. 1t must have
been that the rush Of Bryanites for
Marks Doodle broke the market so that
his contribution" to the campaign
bought double the number of "the allied
forces of reform" anticipated. The only
wonder is that they stayed bought.
Bryan confesses that the Nebraska
populist is like his brand of democrat.
1t will be difficult for him to find any
slur in Gold Standard paper upon his
style Of democracy that will equal his
confession for bitterness and scathing
sarcasm.
The nation is now awaiting with in
terest to see which city will first exhibit
the grim humor of inviting Bryan to
address a Fourth of July assemblage.
In spite of his remarkable utterance to

TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY.

The utter demOrallZatlOn OF tne QomO-
cratic party is thrust upon us by the an
nouncement that Tom Patterson of
Colorado and Dubois, of Idaho, have
decided to join it. 1t is reduced in size
to fit the caliber of Dubois and in repu-
tation to meet the requirements of Pat
terson.
The odor arising from stirring up the
finances of the Populist party indicates
the management of the campaign
to have been almost as disreputable as
the principles advocated. The truth of
the charges made by both Edmiston
and Porter can readily be admitted by
all fair minded persons. There has
never any thing emanated from popu-
listic sources with such ear marks
of truth as the character sketches these
gentlemen offer us of each other. The
vilest enemy of reform would not now,
in the face of the evidence, dare insinu
ate that sordid motives Of unhallowed
gain, ever entered the heart of these un-
selfish patriots. 1t might be said of the
Pop administration as was long ago said
of certain sermon: "Pretty good what
there was of it, for the kind, and plenty
of it such as it was"
In the name of all that's decent and
holy in religion why is it paraded in the
papers that Dinsmore is the president of
the Y. M. g. A. in the penitentiary. No
reason is alleged for the Y. M. @. A.
being in the pen, although electing Dins-
more president is sufficient justification.
There has never been so revolving q
crime in the borders of Nebraska as that
of this villain. He no doubt longs to
meet his bride of three months who
owes her being in heaven today to the
loving clutch Of his fingers at her throat.
The making saint out Of this lecherous
iend is disgrace to any church that
tolerates it. If soul such as that can
enter the pearly gates the devil must
find his career as near it's end as that of
pop orator.
The Isthmian canal should be built by
private enterprise. We do not need any
repetition of the Pacific Railroad scan
dial. All arguments and schemes for
government aid to this canal bear too
close resemblance to those advanced
for the Credit Mobilier in this country
and the Panama affair in France. If
there is legitimate demand for such a
work there is plenty of capital to pro-
mote it. 1t will pay fair profit. If it
is not of sufficient Importance to COM
merce, if it does not fill a along-felt want,
then it is too soon to build it. Capital
has grown to such stupendous proper
tions now that aid of governments is no
longer needed, and the asking of a sub
sidy for steamships or bonus for erecting
