Only When They Forget.

People who ought to have
known better, actually fancied
that because the Government
pursued the policy of an or
dinarily prudent individual and
had money ahead, they were
grievously wronged. So they
wanted a change" and they
got it with a vengeance. The
democratic party did not keep its
tariff pledges to the people to the
letter. But the bugaboo of a
surplus disappeared, and was
succeeded by the "epdless chain"
of issuing bonds to replenish the
gold in the treasury, greatly to
the profit of the Wall street
captains of finance. And as to
the period of financial and in
dustrial depression that lasted
during Clevelands second term,
there is no occasion to speak.
People who have not forgotten the
political history of that time,
know all about the suffering and
misery of those four terrible
years.
For decade the country ha;
enjoyed prosperity that is as un
PARALLEL as were the hard times
that preceded it. When the
republican party took charge il
the spring of 1897, the frs
thought was to restore thu
prosperity that democratic bung
ling had driven away. The pro
tective tariff was re-enacted, ant
provision made for ample revenu
. for current expenses-and some
thing over. People know tn
result.
And now after all these year
and their lessons, the old attemp
, to create scare about thu
surplus is renewed. 1t will sue
, coed only when the America
people forget.

The west, and especially
Nebraska, is extremely fortunate
in the class of immigrants that
have come and settled on its fertil
lands during the past score of
years. They have come, largely
from the land of the midnight
sun-from Germany, Denmark
and other northern countries
the kind of men who help to
build up instead of tear down
who obey and observe the laws
instead of violating them. Con-
trasted with the immigrants that
reach some sections of the United
States, Nebraska is to congratu-
lated. The people of this section
have escaped the contamination
of the scum of Europe. There
are no black hand societies, no
hot-beds of anarchy, no discon-
tented, murderous foreigners
ready to kill and burn. Instead,
the non-American element is
peace-loving and Industrious
ambitions for education, jealous
in religious work and quick to
assimilate the best of the things
they find in their new home.

There is a war of determination
being waged in some setions of
the country against house cats.
The felines are in great disfavor
because of the fact that they
are contaminated with germs of
so many diseases. SCIENTISTS
have conclusively shown that
cats carry and spread tuberculosis
one of the most dreaded of all
diseases. There is little use of
waging war on the white plague,
some claim, without first getting
rid of house cats. The cats are
all right in barns, corn cribs,
warehouses and places infested
by rats, but their presence in the
house is not necessity and are to
be discouraged since it is found
to be fact that they are pur-
veyors of sure death diseases
This view will no doubt be bitter.
| ly opposed by many-especially
old maids-who are fond of their
Toms and Tables, but there is
no doubt but that there is {
great deal that is Objectionable
about the felines as house
tenants.

Opening of Government Lands.

The Wyoming land board has
just announced the opening, un-
der the Carey act, of 100000
acres of the Eden valley lands in
Sweetwater and Fremont couu-
ties, north of Rock Springs on
the Union Pacific railroad.
Thirty thousand acres are now
available for public entry. 1t is
one of the finest bodies of irrig-
able land in the state. The land
is irrigated from the public
domain under the Carey act.
Any person 81 years old or over
is entitled to claim of 100 acres
or any legal subdivision thereof,
provided such person has never
previously made use of the Carey
act. The land is a rich sandy
loan, free from Alkali and stones
and will produce abundant crcp'
of grains, grasses, fruits ant
vegetables.
Water for irrigating is OBJ
tanned from the Big and Little
Sandy rivers and their tributaries
which head in the great water
shed of the Wind river range O.
mountains and drain an era o
thousands of square miles. The
water is distributed by an exteu
sive system of canals and bitches
Elasticity to the supply is OBJ
tanned by two immense reservoirs
which impound billions of cubic
feet of water. The fee to tn,
state which accompanies applica
tion for each claim is Is cents
per acre and an additional q
cents per acre is paid upon max
ing final proof within three years
The, cost of the irrigating sys
tenn is charged against the lan'
at the rate of $50 per acre, pay
able in ten annual installments
All of the irrigation works be
come the property of the peopl
who own the land, each acr
representing one share.

Travellers over the state this
summer are forcibly impressed
by the difference in the methods
Of farming. There has never,
perhaps, been year in which
the benefits of good farming
stood out so prominently. The
late season enabled the weeds to
get good start and they have
been unusually in evidence this
year. On some farms they seem
to be chief product. On others
frequently adjoining the bad
fields--the corn is clean and
there is scarcely weed in sight.
It's the difference between the
pains-taking agriculturalist and
the slip-shod, careless fellow who
is merely after immediate returns
with the least possible effort.
Even in this he is following a
mistaken policy, for the weeds
destroy not only the yield, but
likewise the quality of grain
grown on fields which they
infest. The conditions this year
present in a striking manner the
necessity of change in agricul'
tural methods. Most land owners
have been attempting to do toe
much and have not succeeded in
doing anything too we'll. Less
acreage and more attention to the
seed used, the preparation of the
ground and other incidentals will
get larger returns. The con
dition of many fields are sucf
that it is up to the owners to tak'
immediate action to clean thu
land if they expect to even rais'
profitable crops.

With one or two established
facts-such as that Bryan wants
the nomination for president so
badly he can taste it and that
William H. Taft is the favorite
for the nomination with many
republicans-the correspondents
at Washington are able to write
interesting, though somewhat
visionary, reports about national
politics. The wise reader dis.
counts dog day politics for the
reason that state Legislative
bodies are not in session, the
national congress is down and
but during the headed period and
the nations executive and mem
bers of his cabinet are spending
the sweltering days far from
their desks. 1t is of the nature
of things that the fountains OF
political information have beer
dried up by the mid-summel
torridity.

of his business was whisky and
per cent drugs and sundries.

AMERICAN MADE WORDS
By FREDERIC ]. HASKIN

The manufacturing instinct of the
American has not been confined to the
material things of life. When he has
needed n word he has made ii. Just
as he has invariably made other things
that he wanted. Sometimes he grated
the bud of his thought on to some for
eign stem, sometimes he took foreign
words and acclimated them, and some
times he evidenced a glorious amount

who was something of wag saw the

he supposed they stood for ''Uncle
