The Nebraska Convention.

Interested in the platform itself and in

a Bryan platform clearly. Certain
things which Mr.. Bryan has been
charged with insisting upon DO not APP
pear in il. No one was surprised that
gov ernment ownership of railroads was
not mentioned. because Mr.. Bryan's at
titude has always been that govern
ment regulation should he submitted
TO the most complete and final tests
before the alternative of public owner
ship should be appealed to. Only men
daciOuS opponents of the Democratic
party have ever accused Mr.. Bryan OF
any other position than this. That the
question of the initiative and referen-

campaign Mr.. Bryan is likely to adopt

ago by one Julius Caesar. who in his
commentaries says that when he went
into battle he left everything which
might impede his actions behind Not

Settle Garbage Issue.-The garbage
problem has been solved by the city

is TO wash the garbage and then to
have it removed from the city to some
point outside of the limits, where it
will be burned or disposed of in any
other manner that the proper parties
may see fit The special garbage COM
mittee recommended to the council
Monday evening that a contract be
signed with Nick Knaack. the city
scavenger. to haul the garbage out of
the city for 5000 per month. the city
to furnish three large box wagons in
which 10 haul the same. The plan will
necessitate the building OF either one
or two washing platforms, probably
one on the bluff and one in the down
town district. 10 be located in places
designated by the board of health. To
these platforms the city health depart
ment will convey the garbage of the
city, where it will be washed, after
| which Knaack will take charge and
have it removed from the city 70
places outside of the city provided by
himself for that purpose The contract
which will be signed by the city is bin /
ing for this year only and will be con
tinued for succeeding years providing
the city does not find some better
means of destroying the garbage.
