exigente como la hospitalidad rusa, Sc

amos de residencia en- San Petersburgo.
Son menester cabeza y est6mago a toda
prueba para resistir los efectos de una
tarde social en- Russia, y he aquf al
gunos de los pormenores del modo en-
que Sc pasa:
No haceis mas que entrar en- una ca.
sa y el anftrion os lleva su bodega y
os hace tomar algo. ALI estan va los
visitantes del sexo feo escogiendo cada
cual la botella de 10 que mas le agrada,
siempre de 10 fuerte, y sirviendose a
cada minute.
81 sois prudente y diplom atico, po-
dreis esquivar las ocasiones de libar de-
fnasiado antes de la comida; pero hay
que l1sar mucha destreza en- este, por-
que ell an6trion ruso que We sus hues-
pedeS extranjeros hacer mala cara sus
efectos espirituosos 6 10 tomara como
! indicio depresivo de la calidad de suS
licores 8 como indirecto reproche sus
habitos.
Tanto beber no les estraga el apetido
como 4 uoSotros; por e. contrario, GUAM
do mas bebe I'm ruSo mas hanbre tiene.
Esto y ell china son, en- mi concepto,
Ia salvacion de aquel pueblo de beoe-
dores.
A las seis de Ia tarde enpieza la CO.
1iida, que dura hasta las nueve. Es-
panta Ell n1mero y abundancia de
n1anjares, y hay vino, seglin parece
cada cucharada. Hombres y mujeres
beben champafIa como aqua, sin que
les haga mas efecto que el aqua misma.
Entire cada dos 8 tres platos Sc pasan
los cigarrillos y todo el mundo fl1ma,
sin distinction de sexos, al propio item
po que Sc converse.
PaSo una parte de Ia tarde. Luego al
teatro, donde Sc han tornado palcos de

ga portatil del anftrion, una GAIA que

Has sifoues, vases, :acacorchos y cubo

matter of Sheriff, we owe more to
our political opinions than to our
personal friends. We can't swap
principles for personal ends and
claim to represent political ideas.
J. O. Taylor is, in every way,
qualified for the Sheriff's office.
The personal abuses against Tay-
lor are all in his favor when the
facts are known. 1t is very sim
gular that those who profess a
love for the farmer, should invari-
able accept every preteXt TO vote
against a farmer, J. O. Taylor
is farmer by profession, and a sue
cessful and honest man. Populists,
show your faith by works, and
give a famer a chance. Sargent

IL Is u Political Trick.

The assumed leaders of the
democratic parry of this city has
for some reason withdrawn the
democratic candidates and re-
fused to certify up the names of
their candidates to be placed on
the ballot. The chairman of the
democratic convention was DR..
c. l.. Mullins and the secretary,
Ross c.. Moore. The law makes
it duty of the chairman and
secretary to file certificate with
the county clerk of the nominees
of the party. Why did they not
do it? Did they expect by this
scheme to COMPEL the democrats
of Custer county to vote the pop
ulist ticket. Will they do it?

George b. MAR should be ell
ected by a handsome majority.
There is no republican in Custer
county more deserving than he,
For twelve long years, George b.
MAR, through the columns Of his
Galloway Courier, labored hard
year in and year out for the prin-
clples OF the republican party,
battling against adversely and
pop majorities that reached into
the thousands, AS firm as rock,
Mr.. MAR never swerverd from
duty. Conducting a republican

of populism in this county, sup

Economy Put in Practice.

ECONOMY" remarked the pop
statesman, els the science of
running the government in such
way as to save the peoples
money" Then the p. S. falls
into a dissertation OH the good
qualities of M. f. Schneringer
as treasurer and longs for the
time to come again when the
business like administration
Mark put up will be again in
order at the Court House, with
Armstrong or his deputy playing
a second economy fiddle in the
sherit1's office.
But what do you think of
that particular brand of economy
put in a republican, that
charges SOC for issuing a distress
warrant for l4c and turning it
over to a pop sheriff for service
so that the poor fellow who has
it to pay must put up SS.15 to
pay 14c tax claim" stuff,
mere stuff, a lie put up by Hanna
hirelings to deceive the very
elect" replied the statesman.
Yet l will admit that writing
looks nightly like Marks and
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1903-10-29
Interest on County Money.

Ask Mr.. Schneringer to stand
up and answer, did he ever lend
any county money to any person,
his answer to this question will
be no.
OF course he did not. The
law forbids the county treasurer
lending or investing one dollar of
county money.
Then how can Mr.. Schneringer
and the Beacon claim that Mr..
Schneringer or Mr.. George are in
any way responsible for the
amount Of interest received on
the county money deposited in
the banks. The County Board
have full and complete control of
this matter and designate the
repositories for the county
money, designating the limit de-
posted in each bank and the rate
Of interest which the county is
to receive.
Any bank wishing to have
county money deposited with
it makes application to the
county board, accompanying such
application by the proper bond
(Surety Bond,) stating the
amount of money it can take and
the rate of interest it will pay.
So the deal is made. Not with
the county treasurer but with
the county board. That is how
it is now, that is how it was
when Mr.. Schneringer was in the
Office.
Neither Mr.. George nor Mr..
Schneringer ever loaned a dollar
of county money.
Now Mr.. Voter do not be de-
ceived in this. matter. If you
doubt the above statement take
the revised Statute and read
Chapter IS, Article 5, Sec
tion IS, and then go and examine
the Supervisors Record where
they designated the Banks for
the treasurer to deposit the
money in, and you will find that
in this matter as in that of the
amount of business and the cost
of collecting. taxes Schneringer
and the Beacon are running their
campaign on bluff and deception.
If Mr.. George is elected he

Ellis. But since the fellow paid
it, | can't see why it is pulled in
to this campaign to prejudice
voters" replied the statesman.
Now loook here voters, its like
this. / the fellow against whom
this warrant was issued had not
paid it, it would have been
charged up to the county and
the taxpayers would have footed
the bill. 1t was done in other
cases Just like this and where
the warrant was returned mot
found" and the county paid
thousands of dollars for that par
ticular brand of economy. Do

1t sometimes makes a differ
ence whose OK is gored. A few
years ago when V. c. Talbot was
the republican candidate for
sheriff, some of the most active
opponents he had were fusionists
who had been in the Spanish
American war with him. Now
that fusionist has received the
nomination for a county Office,
these same persons are now in
sisting that it is the duty of all
the Spanish-American soldiers to
vote for him. 1t makes a great
difference you see.

Prof. ]. M. Scott came out
last week in the Bea-
con with charges against
the republican nominee for
county superintendent. This
week copy of the same article
is sent to the REPUBLICAN, by
Mr.. Scott requesting its publica-
ton. We supposed the
Prof. would not attempt to force
his personal grievance upon the
public after his bitter experience
at the republican county conven-
ton. The REPUBLICAN believes
in Mr.. Lewis and approves his
faithful and honest efforts to
build up the schools of the
county. We do not approve of
any one who has had his day in
the convention publicly opposing
the nominees of that convention.
No loyal partisan will do it.
The REPUBLICAN has never been
guilty of playing the roll of aid
to populists and therefore most
respectively decline the use of it's
columns by Prof. Scott or any
one else for that purpose. Bat,
says one "if you refuse to publish
it will not Scott work for the de-
feat of Taylor, Armour, George
and the rest of the ticket?" Let
that be as it may, we propose to
maintain the reputation of the
REPUBLICAN and the principles
of the republican party as we be-
lieve we should regardless of re-
suits. Let every loyal republic
can resent such methods to de-
feat any one they have chosen
for preferment. Strict loyalty
to the whole ticket means sue
cess. Divisions may bring de-
feat. Let every voter place a
cross at the head of the ticket.

Farmers don't you know to a
certainty that the 7 mills tax the

ical dodge to deceive you? They

Col. IIDbleS OF Lincoln, dis
cussed the political issues of the
day from the populist standpoint
at the court house last Thursday
night. He frankly admitted that
the people are prosperous under
republican administration, but
claimed it was all because of the
coinage Of the silver bullion the
government had accumulated and
that was just what the populistS
had demanded. Il republicans
are doing just what the pops
would have done why does not
Mr.. Tibbles join the republicans?
Mr.. Tibbles knows as does every
we'll Informed pop that the popu-
lists demanded that silver should
be made the standard instead of
gold and that silver should be
coined by the government Tree.
The free coinage of silver" was
their great battle cry. Every
dollar of silver that has been
coined by the republican admin
istration has been coined on a
gold basis and every dollar of it
is worth as much as gold. Had
the pops succeeded it would have
been coined on a silver basis of
10 to !. Instead of having pros
perity we would have had poverty
greater than we had under Cleve-
land.
