Culver In u Stew.

Adjutant General Culver is
again on the anxious seat. For
long time he waited anxiously
to hear from the War department
that the Nebraska National
Guard could by participating this
summer in the army maneuvers
for this department at govern
ment expense, secure recognition
under the Dick bill that would
enable it to have an encampment
next year, the expense of which
the government will pay. Now
that he has secured a favorable
answer on that point he is again
in something of a stew because
the army authorities are liable
to call out the guards without
sufficient warning to enable its
officers to provide suitable quar-.
master and commissary supplies
He is now bombarding the War
department with gentle but sig.
nificant reminders that the mem
bers of the Nebraska Nationa
Guard do not live in barracks ant
that it is going to take reason
able warning to enable them t.
break away from their occupa
tions and fall in fully armed ant
equipped for camp duty ant
scientific maneuvering. Bee.

Not Correct

The Sunday Bee had a state
ment from its Lincoln Cores
pondent to the effect that the
equalization report of Custer and
Howard counties had not been re-
ceived by Auditor Weston and
that as a punishment the said
counties would be charged the
full legal limit of 9H mills. We
know nothing of the facts IN re-
ference to Howard county but the
statement is not correct in refer
ence to Custer. The report had
been completed and forwarded to
the Auditor by Custer county UNI
der a special delivery stamp last

Protection Wins by 300 Per Cent.

The product of pig iron to this
country the present year will ex-
coed twenty million tons. That
of Great Britain and Germany
combined will be considerably
below this; and the pre-eminence
of the United States in iron and
steel is growing more pronounc-
ed year by year, under the in
fluence of the benign policy of
Protection, which the Republi-
can party has conferred upon the
country. Our present rate of
production is remarkable con-
trast to the production in this
country nine years ago, the

week. On seeing the report in
the Bee, Deputy Clerk Pigman
went to Lincoln on Monday to
look the matter up. He found
that the report had been received
and that there was no disposition
upon the part of the board to add
to Clusters assessment because
it was not in there by the tenth
of the month, as most of the other
counties were in after that date.
In fact the auditor complimented
Mr.. Pigman for holding the re-
port back to get it absolutely
correct instead of sending it in
as it came from the assessors
books, as they frequently are in
accurate. He states there was
no prejudice against Custer as
the report was received by him
in ample time for the meeting of
the state board of equalization.

Visible to all.

From all parts of the land come
expressions from national leaders
of the Republican party and lead
ers of political thought declaring
not only their opposition to Tariff
revision, but expressing the view
that it would be certain to event
uate in injury irreparable to our
industrial and commercial in
terests. It would unsettle bust
ness, close the factories, and
throw labor out of employment,
by thus diminishing the purchas-
ing capacity of the home market
would adversely affect every
farmer in the land. Prices of
that which the farmer produces
would decline and there would
be little demand for his product
at any price. A period of stag
nation would ensue in COMPARE
son with which the hard times
and monetary stringency of 1893
would be prosperity. The utter
inutility and appropriateness of
Tariff revision ought to be mani
fest to every person who is a
clear thinker. It's deleterious
effects are plainly visible to all
who heed the light of past ex-
perieuce and are familiar with
the fundamentals of economics.

No POpulist In the East.

1t appears from the following
that the Nebraska Indepe ndent
has been sending out circulars to
the managers of the once popu-
list party soliciting their aid in
securing subscribers to the indie
pendent, with the view of re-
organizing the populist move
ment. One of the circulars
reached Eltweed Pomeroy, one of
the National Committeeman in
New Jersey. The following is
Mr.. Pomeroy's reply:
Editor Independent: Your
circular letter of May % receiv-
ed. There is not any of the pop
ulist party left in New Jersey; it
was never very large, but / do
not believe that meeting called
at present would bring together
ten men, and there is no use try
ing to revive it at present; it
would be impossible. The socia-
list party has absorbed the radi-
Gals and the democratic party
the conservatives of the old pop
ulist party, and few have gone
republican. OF course I would
be very glad to see itrevived, but
one man cannot make a public
movement. / think the same is
true of all the states east of the
Alleghanies and probably also
of many of them west. 1t would
be almost impossible to get sub
scripttons for your paper in the
east, as that kind of paper does
not circulate here.
ELTwEED PoMERoY.
East Orange, N. ].
The confession is a plain state
ment of facts. 1t is not only true
of the eastern states, but as he
suggests it is probably true OF
many states in the west.
The only places that the popu-
list party trys to maintain an
Organization are in counties
where the democratic party has
but small following. In such
counties the populisi organiza-
tions are being kept up with the
hope of getting the spoils.

have taken place in this city last
Saturday between AL. Philpot of

Galloway, failed to materialize.
Upon the arrival of Philpot,
Powell was seized with a severe
case of heart failure, and sur
rendered his forfeit. AS Philpot
was very anxious for a race, a
purse was raised and a race was
matched between him and Sam
Mcdonald, a farmer boy who
happened to be in town. One
hundred yards was the distance,
and the start was to be made at
shot of a revolver. The race
was won by Philpot, who got a
start of about ten feet before the
gun went off, but who won by
only about two feet. The friends
of Mcdonald Immediately match
ed him for another race with a
scoring start, and he won it by a
good big margin. Several dol
lars changed hands as a conse-
quenCe.

Lihcoln's great midsummer

from August 5th to 18th, inclu-
sive. This assembly, which has
grown to the largest proportions
of any summer gathering in the
entire west, has this year pur-
chased its own grounds, and the
assembly will meet in the new
location this season. The
grounds are admirable for their
purpose, exceeding even the Lin
coin Park grounds formerly used
by the assembly in suitableness
for camping and assembly pur-
poses. Permanent improvements
are being made which viii add
to the comfort Of the thousands
of attendants. The auditorium
is permanent structure that
will seat five thousand people
comfortably. Other improve
ments in water and sanitation
have been made which will give
the campers more comfort in
these lines than they have here
toforc enjoyed. The assembly

county officials for the
year 1902. At the same rate, at
the close of their present term
the sum will amount to $9,9lO,
which is good showing in two
years time. With a continuation
of republican administration a
still better showing will be made
in the next two year.

The new law regarding the
selling of tobacco, cigaretts or
cigarette papers to minors went
into effect the first day of this
month and those who have been
in the habit of selling should be
on the lookout from now on.
The fine is $50 or thirty days in
Jail. 1t means those under Fl,
not those who look like men.
The law also provides a penalty
for furnishing these things in
any manner. Leaving cigarette
papers around where the boys
can swipe them is punishable the
same as for selling. The best
way will be for those who have
these papers on hand is to burn
them and then they will be out
of the way.-Hebron Register.

In the denomination of w. A.
George for treasurer of Custer
county the republican convention
made no mistake. Mr.. George
has made one of the best treasur-
ers the county has ever had. By
the help of efficient assistants he
has not only kept his books up in
good shape but he has collected
the personal taxes closer than
has been done before in Custer
county without resorting to the
execution of distress warrants,
His system costs more for clerk
hire but it saved the expense of
sheriff fees and thus made saw
ing to the Individual tax payer.
He systemetized his methods of
collecting the tax deliquent and
by sending out repeated personal
notices almost the entire list for
last year has been COLLECTED and
and only two or three executions
were necessary to protect the
county's interest. We predict
for Mr.. George an increased ma
jority in the coming election.
