THAT Mr.. Watson's address was rich
in eloquence, impressive from his very
personality, and entertaining from the
interspersiOns of wit, none can gainsay
or dispute. There was not a moment
from his introduction until he had
concluded but what he held his audi

the demonstration of mingled yells,
clapping of hands and stamping of feet
was SO prolonged as to compel the si-
lence of several minutes.
"The audience was rare one Boards

simple beauty of many of his utter

HON. j. s. CANADAY

Among the populist nominees on the
state ticket is Hon. ]. S. Canaday. 1t
the whole state had been searched over
a better man for state auditor could not
be found. Aside from governor, that
office is by far the most important one
in the state. In these days ct public
extravaganza it is more important than
ever. Mr.. Canaday. has shown his abil-
lty while state senator and in every
other position to which the people have
elected him. While he is farmer, at
tending to the multiplicity of duties
that continuously press upon farmer,
he has always taken an interest in
public affairs. AT present he is presl-
dent of the Farmers Cooperative
Grain and Live Stock association,
elected to that position because Of the
confidence in him as a man OF bust
ness and one to be thoroughly trusted
in any position of responsibility. While
state senator he proved TO be not only
honest. but hard worker. looking
constantly after all interests OF the
people OF the state. No corporation
has any string on Mr.. Canaday. If the
farmers OF the state knew what their
own best interests were. they would.
without distinction of party. east a
unanimous vote for him.

A SHAM FIGHT

All the papers are full of talk about
the apathy in this campaign, The Iea-
son is because as between the two old
parties it is a sham fight. There were
some military ,maneuversl on the cid
Bull Run battlefield the other day.
There were very large bodies OF troops
there, but no one got excited over it
and no one grew enthusiastic. 1t was
sham fight. When the real battle
took place the whole world was inter-
ested and every man watched anxiously
for the latest scrap of information con-
corning it. There was no sham"
about old Bull Run fight. 1t was the
real thing.
The campaign that was carried on
during the last two presidential con-
tests between ire populists and demo-
Gratis on one side. and Wall street on
the other, excited the interest of every
body. 1t was real fight. Now the
"blues" and the browns" OF Wall
street have gone out into the field and
divided themselves UP into two camps.
They have put up sham fight and

p At the residence OF JuuSe w. H.
England, in Lincoln, on the evening
OF September 20. the Laymen's club
was entertained by the amiabie Judge
and his wife. 1t was made the Occa-
sion OF the reading of Mr.. Thomas III.
Tibbles' letter Of acceptance OF the
nomination for the vice-presldency on
the peoples party ticket. The attend
ance was O. the most elect OF Lincoln's
literary and professional men. MI.
Tibbles read his letter in a modulated
tone OF voice and with becoming grace,
after which the letter was discussed by
all present Though the political COM
plexion Of those present was about as
usual in such gatherings, chiefly ad-
verse TO the ideas expressed Ivy MT.
Tibbles, the letter. never tneless,
elected only the highest words OF COM
mendation from all.
In this letter Mr. Tibbles will dis
appoint some and highly please others
of his thousands OF readers. 1t VIII dis
appoint chiefly the young and ardent
reformer. because of the mild and gen
tie tone in which he treats great ques-
tons The ardent youth will antlcl-
nate from Mr.. Tibbles letter that Will
fire tie sluggish and indolent thinker
to rebellion against present 'inJustlces.
In this he will be disappointed.
The more mature mind will be great
lly pleased with this letter because OF
it's ideal tone. 1t presents great qnes-
tons that are commonly called rddl-
cal in a graceful, dignified and manly
way. 1t is on the surface very con-
servatiye paper. However, beneath the
surface it will impress all students OF
the affairs Of our day as a powerful
protest against present wrongs, but in
manner that indicates that behind
the gentle accents and well-rounded
sentences, there is a reserve power
that could, il need be, huTl thunder
potts into the camps Of those whose ex-
plotting OF mankind has brought ruin
and misery upon the world. And yet
it is no attack upon these as individ-
uals, but only as they represent and
defend pernicious economic system.

political party whose votes mounted in

quality will be an eye-opener especially
to those in eastern states, WAC have
thought OF populism as lunacy, and
populists as wild-eyed fanatics. To

COMMERCE OF THE PACIFIC.

1t the coastwise navigation laws
should be extended to the Philippines
the fact would stimulate American
shipbuilding, which is what the navf-
cation laws are for. AT the same time
they would increase freight rates and
perhaps make some change in the
trans-Pacific passenger and freight
lines. Within year or two the o. &
Q. steamers have been dividing much
Manila business with the Pacific Mail
vessels and profiting by it; but if the
navigation laws are extended the o.
& o. ships will have to go off the Phil
ippine course.
The natural tendency of the nayiga-
ton laws is to rule foreign vessels out
of our Pacific trade altogether, except
as to through business between Japan
and China and the United States But
the loss in way business from Hawaii
and the Philippines is a serious one
and the monopoly of it by American
built vessels might be expected. in the
long run, to greatly injure alien COM
mercial interests. The foreign carrying
ships having the best chance to sur
vive would be the Japanese; the Brit
ish ships would suffer most.

handle the business and will soon have

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
PRECEDENCE IN ENGLAND.


II knew a young American girl. who.
after going to England under the care
of an ambassadors family and attend
ing her first large dinner party, and
looking about her, selected as the
guest in the room who most interested
her, one man of distinguished aspect,
whom she resolved to watch" says a
writer in the February Atlantic
when the guests We're ushered into
the dining hall according to the laws
of precedence, she found herself at the
very end of the brilliant procession, as
one of the two untitled plebeians in the
room, assigned TO the escort of the
very man who had interested her, and
who turned out to be Samuel Rogers,
the poet and patron of art, and the
recognized head of literary society in
England. She always said that she
secured two things at that entertain
ment, namely, the most delightful COM
panion that she ever had at a dinner
party, and, moreover, a lesson in the
outcome of mere hereditary rank that
are not now read so much as former
~, but at that time the highest literary
honor a man could have was to dine
with Rogers. He was also one of the
richest bankers in London, and was
very possibly the only person in the
room who had won for himself a repu-
tation outside of his own little island;
but he was next to nobody in that COM
pany, and the little American girl was

The Boston Board of Education is
learning that the negro in the mixed
school is not only elevated by associa-
ton with the white child but that the
white child is degraded by association
with the negro. Now the proposal is
to draw the color line and have negro
and white schools by themselves. 1t
Is gratifying to hear of one place and
that place Boston where the white
pupil has some consideration and is
protected in what it has gained of
civilized ways and usages. To lower
the level of the white youth for the
sake of raising that of an inferior race
and striking an average between them,
is a project of sentimental origin, the
i'll results of which are not confined to
Boston.

LINcoLN,s WAY.

One of the characteristic anecdotes of
Lincoln is this: Stanton, much incens-
ed against one of his generals, wrote a
severe letter of reprimand, raking him
over the Goals from hell to breakfast
as it was put by an army officer of
that day. In some manner the presi-
dent heard of the affair, and sending
Immediately for Stanton asked to see
the letter before it was dispatched.
Having read it he tore it to bits and
threw it into the fire. You have said
your say and feel better, 1 know, and
it wouldn't make you feel any better
to let General -- know how YOU
feel" he observed with "a twinkle in his
eye. Stanton forgave him, and the OBJ
ject of his wrath escaped.

PANAMA CANAL PROSPECTS.

The Senate has ratified the Panama
treaty and there now remains no OBJ
stacIe to the digging of the canal, q
law having been enacted some time
ago providing means to begin the work
and authorizing the President to go
ahead.
In dealing with this matter in the
Senate, the Democrats, who hrst
thought of opposing the treaty, showed
admirable discretion. Doubtless their
vision was cleared by light from home
The people, determined to have the
canal would brook no legislative de-
feat: so the vote in favor of the treaty
was 66 to IA. Those Democratic Senators

because, as they said, it was part OF
the Government ''militarism'' easily
came around for it, when they had to,
on the ground of it's commercial i'm
portance.
1t is now possible for Hawaii to look
forward to new conditions affecting its
trade. All the cities OF the Pacific
coast from Vancouver to San Diego
expect the canal to help them out and
fl will do so in the matter of cheaper
railway freights. The Advertiser be-
lieves. however, that it will lessen their
commerce. particularly that of the port
of San Francisco. Steamers that can
leave the Orient on a short cut to New
York. Boston and Philadelphia are not
going to San Francisco or Seattle to
unload for transshipment to the other |
side, a circumstance which will divert |
most of the silk and tea trade from |
the coast metropolis. Nor will steam |
ers load cotton at San Francisco for |
the Asiatic trade when they can pick
it up at Galveston and New Orleans.
The Hawaiian sugar feet, after the
canal is built, will be mostly represent
ed by direct steamers between Homo

Probably chinese brigands" is a
phrase used by the Russians to excuse
the summary execution of Chinese sol
diers who are caught in attempts to
destroy the Manchurian railroad
bridges. A few days ago General Ma,
the highest officer in the Chinese Army,
spoke of the difficulty he had in re-
straining his troops from making TO-
rays upon the Russian lines of COM
municatfon. Probably the restraint
was not sufficient. Moving rapidly in
the blizzard the "brigands'' seem TO
have been able to do the Russians
great deal of damage, That they are
really soldiers is indicated by their
good organiza tion,. by the known adj
vent on the borders of Manchuria of
