NORTH pLArrE AND soUrH Platte.

NORTH PLATTE AND SOUTH PLATTE.
A review Of the republican sena-
torial situation in Nebraska, published
In the world-Herald. calls attention TO
the fact that with the exception Of his
own home county not a single county
north of the Platte has yet given in
structions for Norris Brown for SEN
ator. In other words, the leading can
didate for the succession to the SEN
atorship that since the admission Of
Nebraska to the union has been &C
corded uninterruptedly to the North
Platte, finds his support almost exclu-
sively south OF the Platte. The sig
nifcance of this exhibit lies in this,
that the South Platte country. after
having nominated the South Platte SEN
ator two years ago without interior
ence from the North Platte. is now
undertaking to name the North Platte
senator irrespective of the expressed
wishes of the republicans north of the
Platte.
II these conditions had been re-
versed two years ago and the North
Platte people had gone down to the
state convention to dictate the South
Platte senatorship. the protest that
wonld have been entered can we'll be
imagined. The North Platte people
would have been told that having their
own senator they should keep out or at
least wait to see whether the South
Platte we're reasonably united upon a
preferred candidate and that they
would have no right to mix in unless it
developed that a number of South
Platte candidates we're equally in favor
in their own territory.
The present situation is certainly
anomalous In this respect in the po-
litical history of Nebraska. The at
tempt to array the state against Omaha
seems to have resulted principally in
drawing the line more sharply between
North Platte and South Platte and put
ting the South Platte in the position
of trying to force a senator upon the
North Platte who has no preponderant
following there.

SAN FRANCISCO DEPENDENTS

Although the earthquake and fire
disaster is now only fading memory
to the general public, the need Of relief
remains still one of the most pressing
subjects for the people Of San Fran
cisco. The multitude which has to be
fed. clothed and sheltered has dwin-
died from 25O,0O0, who we're home
less for a long period but IT is still
large enough to be a tremendous bur
den on that portion of the population
which has become self-supporting, and
as the rainy season approaches the
burden will become heavier.
A point has been reached at which
the number Of dependents to whom
food and other necessaries must be
distributed decreases so slowly that
the resources at the command of the
authorities are now being largely de-
voted to the purpose of putting them
in position to become self-supporting
rather than being mere objects OF in
terminable charity. Thus money is
being given outright to re-establish
households, to buy tools and in many
cases to build cheap houses, as we'll as
to transport to places where there is
assurance of employment or mainten-
ance. The amount of cash so given
has averaged over $4,000 a day for
a period of several weeks. Beyond
these outright gifts, the sum of $2,-
10000 has been apportioned for con-
struction of cottages and flats. to be
repaid in monthly installments on the
basis of actual cost. the installments
to be reinvested in the same manner
Indefinitely.
But in spite of all that can be done
by extraordinary effort in this direc-
ton, 1t is now realized that the num-
Der of the absolutely helpless will be
far greater than was anticipated even
by those who were on the ground.
Large sums accordingly are set apart
for such purposes as a winter pavilion
for the aged destitute, and park shell
ters for the homeless. while efforts
are redoubled to provide the food and
other relief which will be indispensa-
BILE during the rainy or cold season to
prevent grievous suffering and hard
ship.
While outside public donations have,
of course, fallen off immensely from
what they were at the time of the
catastrophe, a vast volume of assist
|
sources, mainly from relatives and
friends of sufferers. but this does not
save those who are friendless as well
as destitute, although indirectly it
helps their case by reducing the num-
Der of dependents. 1t is bound to re-
main for many months a fearful draft
upon the stricken city which at best
would have a hard struggle to regain
| a footing

THE IOWA DEMOCRATS.

The spirit and action of the Iowa
democratic convention show how
keenly the progress of the bitter ante
convention fight between republican
factions has been watched by the OPP
position While the democrats could
hardly hope to win the election in any
event, they have evidently been en-
couraged to special effort to harmonic
their party and to put the best foot
forward with a view to get the organ
ization on a better basis than has been
possible in Iowa since 1896.
Accordingly the convention. which
was controlled by the conservative"
element, endorsed with ELUSIVE rhet-
ORIG Colonel Bryan for the presidency,
Notwithstanding he has been the bone
of contention for a decade among
them, while the state ticket is agree
ably divided between the old silver and
conservative for governor aud a con-
spicuous radical for lieutenant gov
ernor. The platform, too, particularly
with reference to the tariff. which is
pushed to the front. is framed with
special reference to local political con-
ditions.
The Iowa democrats. however. are
simply grasping at a straw, there being
nothing more substantial for them to
lay hold of. In no other state is re-
publican party discipline more ef1ca-
cious, and whatever factional irrita-
ton may have been caused will have
little influence by election day. More
over, there is no more stalwart con-
servatism than that of a large Iowa
element, which summarily and finally
abjured the democratic party just ten
years ago because of the Bryan leader
ship, and now to endorse 1t without
reserve is rather fresh offense than
an invitation to that element and
tends to merge it more completely In
the republican party.
1t is, nevertheless, a novel circum-
stance that Iowa democrats should for
moment withhold their hands from
each others threats even for the pur-
pose of grasping at the straw which
passing republican discord is vainly
| imagined to afford.
