LAST DAY.

Frankfort KY, March 1.-THE
redistricting bills are among those
to be left over. They passed the
House, but we're pigeon-holed in the
Senate. There is already talk of
an extra session, if the amended
revenue bill, carrying the new
capital appropriation, tails to get
through the House.
Treasurer Hager has been quot
ed as saying that the State could
get along without a new revenue
law, and Auditor Coulter has been
quoted as saying with even greater
that unless the Revenue
Bill was passed the State would be
compelled to suspend payments in
side of six months.

QUEER VERDICT.
''NOt Guilty, But Don't Do it
Again"

A most peculiar verdict was rem
dered by jury in the County Court
at Frankfort. A woman in the
county was charged with selling
liquor without license. The al
legged buyer of the whisky said he
met the woman in a field and asked
her for whisky; that she took HIM to
her house and produced a bottle;
that he laid down a half dollar and
took the liquor. The woman testl-
fed that the man told her he was
sick and needed whisky; that she
went to her house nearby, and gave
him the bottle to take a drink; that
she turned her back a minute,
when he walked off with the bottle
and never left a half dollar or any
other sum to pay her. There was
no other testimony, and the jury
promptly returned the following
verdict:
eve, the jury Ind the defendant
not guilty, but don't do it again.

Trusts in No Danger.

The fact that the great fnanciers
and trust managers of the country
are not exhibiting any extraordina-
ny excitement over the action of the
president in ordering the attorney
general to test the legal validity of
the Northern Securities Trust Com
Pany's operations is almost sufi-

the fight until the last vote is
counted. The REPUBLICAN is
here to concede that organization
have planned to do all that is
claimed for them except the re-
suit. That they will not ac-
complish. The saloon orgarlza-
tion with the machinery of the
democratic and populist parties
under their control can not con-
troll the state of Nebraska, There
are thousands of church men
who belong to the democrat and
populist parties that will not sub
NIT to the dictation of the rum
power even with as clean a man
as w. II. Thompson as their
standard bearer. If it is to be a
fight of the rum power of the
state against the church, political
lines will be abliterated in Custer
county as well as every other
county of the state. The RE-
PUBLICAN accepts the issue with
out any fears of the results,
What few republicans the saloons
may be able to control on that
issue will be replaced tenfold
from the ranks of the midroaders
populis and democrats who will
record their votes in protest,
against the domination of the
rum power in state politics.

Gurrie's the Man.

Unless some Valley county man
of equal fitness should signify
his willingness to accept the re-
publican nomination for state
senator we are of the opinion
that the coming senatorial con-
vention ought to renominate the
present incumbent, +. M. Currie.
His abilities have have been pro-
ven and his integrity tried, and
a better man for the place we
could not hope to select. We re-
greet that there seems to be a
common assumption that, because
he was in the race for a higher
Office, he could not consistently
accept this one again. But
moments thought will show
that this ought not to be the
case. Other men holding posi-
tions of honor and trust, failing
in an attempt for a nomination
to higher place, have with all
honor and no sacrifice of dignity
continued in the position they
were holding. Were Mr.. Currie
not our senator it might not look
we'll for him to ask the, place,
but the fact that he is still sena-
tor makes it perfectly proper for
him to continue in the place. 1t
is generally understood that
he never sought the
nomination in either of the
former campaigns and we feel
confident that he is not DESTROYS
to continue, but he might be in
duced to remain in the place he
has filled so honorably. AT any
rate let us re-nominate him if he
may be induced to serve us again.
His eminent service and expert
as state senator fit him all the
the more for good service in the
future. Ord Quiz.

produce. Talk about taxing the
clothing the poor man wears for
the benefit of the trusts. When
was clothing ever cheaper or
labor and farm products higher
than at the present time. The
present laws are in the interests
OF the poor and the rich also pro-
fit by them. Education is free to
the poor and rich alike and more
of the poorer class are giving
their boys and girls the advant-
age of higher education to-day
than ever before in the history
of the county, simply because the
conditions enable them to afford.
If the Beacon thinks it can per-
suade the voters to vote for the
return of the free trade days of
% to 90 it is very much deceived.
They are happy to know that
the present is far ahead of that
panic period and they will never,
knowingly vote to return to those
days. The proof of it will be
seen in an increased majority for
the republican ticket in every
county and state in the Union
this fall.

Ii Wont Work.

We buletly here it intimated
occasionally that the democrats
are basing their hopes of success
this fall upon help they will get
from the brewer or saloon or
ganization of the state. 1t is
Claimed that the saloons of the
state do not propose to take any
chances with church man for
governor and a republican legis-
lature and that they will not only
contribute freely to the fusion
campaign to secure Thompson's
election, but that they will pay
out IN great chucks whenever it
can be used to advantage in the
interest of the democratic ticket.
They figure that with harmony
restored between the pops and
democrats, by the equal division
OF the spoils that the two parties
will present solid front at the
polls for the ticket. They also
Inquire that every saloon will have
number of republicans, they
can control on the whiskey issue.
These combinations they figure
will elect the entire ticket with
such majorities that the republi-
can candidates will scarcely know
they were in the race. Our in
formant says the plan is for the
saloon organization to keep in
the back grounds and declare
publicly and privately total in
difference in the results of the
campaign, while their trusted
agents are supplied with an UNI
limited amount of money and
goods and instructed to stay in

farms by the sweat of his brow
and not by the perspiration of his

But he is not ashamed of it. He
has not denied it nor will he try
to evade it. How much different
is his attitude as "A farmer and

Either Blind, Ignorant or Both.

Either Blind, Ignorant or Both.
When the republicans tell you
in their platform or on the stump
that they favor this, that or the
other law if they are reelected, tell
them they lie and they know
they lie. And prove it, show
them that they have had for SIX
years the President, the Senate.
and the house, and could have
enacted any law the people de-
manded and their national plat
forms proclaimed. They do not
want any legislation. All they
want is the votes of the dupes so
they can continue to skin the
public. The Republican party
has passed in the last six years
every law the trusts, the mo-
nopolists, and protected interests
have desired. 1t has never pass
ed a single act that made it
easier for the working man to
make a living. But its legisla-
ton has resulted in enabling the
special few to tax the clothes off
his back, deny his wife and chill
dren the necessary food for their
proper sustance and put beyond
the reach of any wage Garner the
possibility of an education for his
posterity.-Beacon.
There is no party that has
ever had control of the govern
ment, state, or county that has
been truer to it's principles and
its representations than the re-
publican party. The history of
the administration of the re-
publican party is proof of its
loyalty to the people. No party
in so short space of time ever
accomplished as much for all
classes, the rich and poor alike as
has the republican party After
the election of William WcKin-
ley and republican congress in
1896, one of the first acts of the
republican administration was
to repeal the Hill-Gorman free
trade act that did more than any
other factor in bringing a
financial panic on the country,
that not only threw laborers, by
the millions out of Employment,
but bankrupted hundres of
thousands of others who were
getting fair start in life. The
republican party under the lead
ership of William Mckinley re-
enacted a protective tariff law
that at once restored the con-
tidence of the public, started the
factories to running, provided
employment for the millions of
idle people at renumerative
wages, created a demand for the
products of the farm and factory.
Where want, penury and bank
ruptcy prevailed, plenty and
prosperity in every walk of life
has been substituted. In
dividuals as we'll as corporations
and trusts have enjoyed increas-
ed compensation for their labor,
produce and capital. We de-
nounce the assertion that the
republican party never passed a
single act that made it easier for
the working man to make a liv-
ing. 1t was the protective tariff
act which provided protection for
the products of the factories, the
meat, cattle, horses, eggs, butter
and in fact everything produced
or manufactured by American
labor that furnished Employment
for the working man and gave
the farmers fair prices for their
