power to fix rates. The right to ap-
peal should not, of course, be denied,
but when the commission has fixed
the rate it should go in force immedi-
ately and remain in force until re-
jected by court of competent juris
diction.
We congratulate President Roose-
welt upon his rejection of the tariff
barons' plea that protection should be
employed as guise for extorting I'M
fair prices from the American con-
sumner. We commend him for his or
der that supplies for the Panama
canal will be purchased in other mar
kets if such a course be necessary
to avoid the impositions on the part
of the special interests SO long pro-
tected by the republican party.
Candidate Pledged
We pledge the people of the First
COMPRESSION district of Nebraska that
the nominee of this convention will
not accept favors-in the form OF
free transportation or otherwise at
the hands of corporations or at the
hands of any individual whose inter-
ests may be affected by his vote; that
in every effort made to obtain the
greatest good for the greatest number
his vote will be cast upon the side
of public interests; that he will faith
fully discharge his duties in the effort
to obtain immediate and effective re-
lief in every particular where the peo-
pie suffer; and that he will cordially
cooperate in every effort-with
whomsoever it may originate and by
whomsoever it may be urged-that is
designed to give to the American peo-
pie relief from corporate imposition.

F. w. Brown, mayor. of Lincoln, was
nominated for congress by the demo
Gratis of the First district, who as
sembled in convention on June Is.
w. NJ Maupin, Judge Tihbets, Tom
Parmalee and J. A. Mcguire were
mentioned when the democrats began
to gather in the city. The conven-
tion did not meet until 2 o'clock and
by that time the sentiment was in
favor of Brown. He was nominated
with a whoop and it was unanimous.
After the routine OF organization
had been completed Mr.. Bryan was
called for. He declared that popular
election Of United States senators
was one of the gateways to reform
He insisted that the senate would
have to be made to represent the
people, and devoted considerable time
to the tariff issue.

H. H. Hanks of Nebraska City was
made chairman. He made a short
speech opposing the Philippine policy
and indorsing w. J. Bryan.

We, the democrats of the First con

convention assembled, send greeting
to the Nebraskans whose duty it will
be to select a representative in con
gress July Is, 1905.
We reaffirm our faith in democratic

Bryan. ss5
All passes Condemned
We condemn the free pass system
We demand not only that public off
Gals be prohibited under heavy pen
alties from accepting such favors, but
that the entire free pass system be
abolished. The free pass to the pub
lie official places him under obliga
ton to the corporation extending the
favor. The free pass to individuals
generally not only enlarges the bur
dens upon the general public in main
tanning the corporation. but tends to
bring the private citizen accepting
the favor under the political control
of the corporation granting it.
We demand the enforcement of all
antitrust laws, and particularly the
criminal clause of the Sherman anti
trust law. Private monopolies are
indefensibls and intolera3le."
We congratulate President Roose
welt in that he has recommended the
adoption of the democratic plan Of

Movement.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2.-Stocks showed
constantly fluctuating tendency today,
which was due. apparently, 20 a conflict OF
speculative parties more than to conflicting
forces in the development Of the day,
Groups of stock which might be subject
TO a common influence from one cause were
affected from time to time. but the possible
causes for the movement were obscure.
This is notably true OF stocks OF companies
dealing with the treatment OF metals and
ores. Smelling, National Lead, Federal
Mining and Smelling, and United States
movement Rumors have long been preva-
lent Of a consolidation of interests in this
field Of industry, but no immediate news
was forthcoming on the subject today
The coalers Of a group made up another
instance Of such movement. The high
priced, closely held members of the group,
which move widely on slight provocation
from quite normal, led this movement,

labor outlook in the coal mining industry
has been induced by the harmony of senti-
ment on the subject shown In recently pub
lished views coming from the head of the
mine workers and from one of the chief
executives of the anthracite companies.
Such occasional strong points in the day s
market served partly but not entirely, to
overcome weakness, which was quite gem

wheat damage reports and the yellow fever
quaranttnes were the professed grounds for
| the selling. An effort to attribute the
selling to the account of a veteran pro-
fessional operator with great prestige as
! a leader of bear campaigns in the past
made some impression on sentiment but
with a mixture of suspicion OF manipulative
purposes. The Pittsburg coal strike broke
violently as result Of the financial state
ment published today showing results for
six months Of operation. The rebound was
even more violent and indicated an urgent
requirement from an oversold short inter-
est. Great Northern preferred and North
ern Pacific sold on on Insignificant trans
actions supposedly by reason of the tele-
! graphers' strike. The June earnings state
ments OF Pennsylvania and Illinois Central

with the month turn was checked by with

CATTLE-There was very light run
here today. eighty loads being on sale
These receipts were about ninety-fOur loads
lighter than last Wednesday and show a
small decrease as compared with the same
day last year. The receipts consisted
largely of cornfeds, only a few westerns
being included In the days offerings.
Beef steers constituted the big end of the
receipts and some pretty good cattle were
offered owing partly to the light run and
to a better feeling on the part of buyers,
the market was strong and active and The
most Of the cattle were cleaned up in good
season. Packers were free buyers and
picked up the stuff right along. Sellers
had the advantage and found little difficulty
in dlsposing of their holdings at fully
steady prices. On some OF the choice corn
fed stun the market was better and prices
ruled stronger. What grass cattle there
were on hand went at strong prices, and
there was better call for them than there
was yesterday.
There was only a small supply Of cows
and heifers here and the feeling was very
good. Buyers went right after the stun and
trading was brisk. Packers as well as other
buyers wanted supplies and a clearance
wPs made early. Good Cornfed cows sold at
an Jdvance of l0ql5c, while the commoner
grades and grass cattle changed hands at
prices ruling steady to stronger.
Bulls, veal calves and stays were in fair
demand at just about steady prices.
Stockers and feeders were in good de-
mand, although there were not many on
sale Good lightweight stuff moved at
steady prices, while on some of the heavier
grades sales looked barely steady, and in
some cases lower. Trading was fairly ac-
tive and the stuff was cleaned up early.

SHEEP-No new features developed In
the sheep barn this morning, the same slow
ness which has been characteristic of the
market this week is in evidence again to-
day and buyers and sellers did not get to-
gether till well along in the forenoon. The
receipts were light, only about twenty
eight cars being on sale. The stuff did not
arrive very early and was wet ana haru-
looking, although of good quality. Some
statesmen had a good deal of sorting TO do,
another reason for the slow opening, some
sales made early were at stronger prices
and The general market could best be
quoted that way. As has been the case for
the past week there was a good demand
for feeders and prices today were stronger.
