is to expunge Organism from the Demo

the play Of Hamlet.
The issue is TO be carried into the
South and West. one of the principal
backgrounds being Nebraska. 1t is
purposed to crush VIM. J. Bryans IN
fiuence in his own state and to prevent
at all costs his control of the Nebraskan
delegation to the next Democratic Ma
t1onal Convention.
Associated with Mr.. Hill in the I'M
dertaking are said to be former Score

Whitney, former President Grover
Cleveland, Hugh Mclaughlin, leader
Of Kings County; Senator German, OF

MIR. BRYAN's SPEECH.

Mr.. Bryan's "Test of Democracy
speech appears on our eighth page. Some
of his critics call it defiant. Who does
he DEFY except the boter, and why
should he truckle to them? 1t Is sug-
gested that he will bolt, if he does not
get his way. What is his way? IL is
along the plain paths marked out by the
two last national platforms; and can ne
be called bolter for adhering to the
platforms of his party? We are told
that he has been twice defeated, ana
should "quit." Quit what? Who has
any respect for quitterP he is not q
candidate. He has disarmed his critics
and disappointed the reorganIzers ny
taking himself out of the probable can
didates for the nomination. What else
must he quit? Go way back and sit
down and sulk because he was defeated?
Abandon, disown and attempt to dis
prove the principles enunciated by his
PARTY and so ably defended by himself
in the last campaign? Change like a
weather cock, and that at the bidding
of the mammon worshippers who de-
serted to the enemy when the battle
was on? Quit indeed! The strongest
virtue Mr.. Bryan has is that he won't
quit. The very thing he IS blamed for
doing is the very thing he ought to do.
He ought to stand by the principles and
platform of the party that has honored
him. He ought to represent and defend
the ideas and wishes and interests OF the
six million democrats who trusted him.
He ought to be true to his own ideas,
and stand for his own record. why
should defeat deter him or his party
from contending for the truth? How
many times has tariff reduction, tariff
| for revenue only, been fought for ano
losts And yet the very ones who are
contending that Bryan should quit be

are claiming that the tariff must be the

SETTLER KIDNAPPED.
Markille Pioneer Takes a Free

Cattle rustling is nefarious business
chicken stealing is worse; but the ma
who would attempt to steal his neigh
bors residence and carry it bodily ava
ought to be hanged and quartered. Ant
yet this offense has been committed
more than once in our own county, bu
never with such startling results a
occurred few days ago.
An honest pioneer of Markille hac
called in his dog, fastened his door fo
the night, finished his evening devotion.
and retired to his couch, to forget the
toll Of the day in blissful slumber
Secure in his little 1Ox12 cabin he neve,
dreamed that ere he awoke he would be
under new star
But the shack thieves were around
and coming to this little home they
heard no sound of life, for the master
and dog were both wrapped in dream
less sleep. The cabin was lifted up,
placed on a sled, and hauled for dis
tance of fourteen miles and set down on
new homesteader's quarter. By this
time it was getting daylight and the jar
of setting down the shack awoke the
man. He got up, reached up on the
wall and took down his "Smith & Wes-
SON. and stepping out into the gray
dawn of frosty morning confronted
four men who with their teams and sleds
were about to retire from the scene.
"Don't rum said he, cor I'll bore
you" He then explained to the shack
thieves the miserable contempt he felt
for them, which made him value pow
der too highly to shoot them with it, and
informed them that they were to pay
him S25 apiece and haul him and his
house back to it's original location. This
task they accomplished with wonderful
alacrity, and after digging up the called
for funds were allowed to go their way
Our pioneer hero had no horses of his
own so he could not drive to town to
''blow" himself as he had a right to do
after such an adventure, but his neigh
bors acted as stewards for him when
they went to town, and his shack is now
well lined with all the necessaries he
will require until next spring.
