Some of the democratic and insur-
gent newspapers of the state make
haste to announce that the "stal.
wart" republicans of the state are
preparing to oppose primary law, SO
far as it relates to the selection of
two United States senators at the
primary next year. This is of a piece
with the prejudiced and jaundiced
attacks frequently emanating from
our ultra insurgent and democratic
organs with reference to the pur-
poses and intentions of the stalwarts.
These statements are made for the
sole purpose of keeping alive pop
nlar prejudice against and distrust
uf stalwart leaders in the state. We
have seen nothing in the stalwart
press of the state to warrant any
assumption that there was any in.
sention to disregard the plain intent
of the primary law. A good many
stalwarts may not believe in the
primary law. A goOu many stall
warts may not believe Ill lne primary
so TAR as it applies TO state officers
and United States senators. We take
it from recent press comment that a
good many insurgents are coming to
think the same way. But the law is
on the statute books and as far as
we have observed, there is no inten'
tion to set it aside.

The Devils Lake Journal some days
ago stated that an offer had beer
made with respect to the senatorshiI
contemplating the sale of the News
for $4,000 to T. F. Marshall and in
surgent republican interests in the
state, provided Marshall was appoint
ed to the senatorial vacancy. The

were four witnesses present Of
equally good reputation for truth
and veracity. The Journal does

KEENLY INTERESTED.

LincoIn's Question After the Commit
teeman Had Finished.
Just after the second battle Of Bull
Run the Boston chamber Of commerce
decided that President Lincoln was
| not prosecuting the war with enough
CELEBRITY to conserve the interests OF
business, and so it appointed COM
mittee to go to Washington and re-
monstrate with him upon his dilatory
tactics. The committee was headed by
a Mr.. Pierce.
1--WE found" he said, "a man who
looked as if he had lost all the friends
he ever had in the world. who invited
US to take seats and inquired our busi-
ness. AS was the spokesman. open
ed our case. and as I proceeded the
presidents face relaxed. By and by he
smiled and betrayed actual interest.
and by the time concluded he was al
most in a broad grin. After had fin
ished he inquired If that was all l had
to say. and on my saying that I
thought it was be asked If some of the
other gentlemen wouldn't like to say
something. They replied that they
thought had fully covered the
ground. And then." continued Mr..
Pierce. what do you suppose this SOL
emn man did? Well. he just moved bis
chair over to mine, smoothed bis trou-
sers over his knee, then reached over
and smoothed mine down. too. and
then with a queer look. which none Of

The Carbuncie.

Carbuncles. 10 which the ancients at
tributed fantastic properties. were I'd
reality rubies. They served. 1t was
said. to give light to large serpents or
dragons whose sight had been en-
feebled by age. They bore them con-
staptly between their teeth and laid
them down only for eating and drink
ing. 1t was even claimed that the car
buncle emitted light In darkness and
that the thickest clothing could not
stop its rays. Without all the exag-
geration Of such legends it was be-
lieved for a long time that rubies con-
tanned luminous rays. The truth is
thar they have double refraction and
send out the red rays With unequaled
brflliancy. Traversed in vacuum by
an electric current. they are illuminate
ed with a red Ere Of extreme inteD-
sity. The greatest heat does not
change their form or their color.

Centers for the grain trade COM
plain that the farmers are holding
their wheat and that stocks of wheat
on hand al the centers are small and
insufficient. One thing that is evil
dent from this is that the northwest
ern farmers of the wheat growing
section are becoming better fixed f.
their grain to market as soon as it
is threshed. They may sell if they
choose, and if not they may wait until
the market price makes sale great
er inducement. The Tribune said
some time ago in connection with the
movement of the Society of Equity,
that the place to begin was with the
individual farmer, inducing him SO
to diversity his crop and husband his
resources that it would not be nee
essary for him to dispose Of his crop
at any figure that was offered as soon
as It came from the thresher. ThlS
advice seems to have been needed.
Wheat may remain in storage, if
properly stored and cared for, for an
indefinite time. 1t is not like many
other agricultural products that must
be quickly disposed of. 1t is not per-
ishable, in the ordinary sense of the
term. It would seem as though the
northwestern farmers are going at
their business in more businesslike
fashion, and when they unite to do
this, they can make buyers Sit up
and take notice. And at the same
time, the railroads are better able
to haul the crops, the elevators in
better shape to receive it, and the
farmer in better shape to market It..

What il Does.

But altogether II was admitted that the
bill does that which the promise was given
that Il would do-it guarantees absolutely
to every man, woman and child who has a
dollar deposited in one OF the banks char
tered under the Nebraska laws, that
neither dishonesty nor lack Of management
on the part of the bankers nor the terrors
of a financial crisis shall deprive them
from having that money returned to them.
1t makes their money in the bank moro
secure than in the old sock or the teapot
or cigar box.-world-Herald
This rhapsody from the Omaha
Double-ender is lifted in praise of the
guaranty deposit law, which has just
gone through the house at Lincoln,
but the paean does not exhaust the
possibilities of the proposition. The
soulful song of the ardent Bryanite
may be continued indefinitely and
probably will. 1t is altogether likely
that after Nebraska has swung into
line behind Oklahoma, as the Bryan
ties would have 1t do, that the hymn
of praise will be continued in a
slightly different key.
The guaranty deposit law has an
other side, which is not disclosed in
the quoted paragraph. If 1t makes APP
parently certain the return of the de-
posit TO the depositor, it also makes
easy the entrance into banking circles
of men whose character would not
otherwise open the door. 1t may guar
antee the safety of the deposit, but 1t
does not guaranty the probity of the
banker. The state accepts N RESPONSE
bility and the bankers who have built
up their business on character are not
inclined to risk their reputation by
standing sponsors for men OF specu-
lative genius who will be attracted to
the new field by the generous provi-
sions of the law, which Mr.. Bryan
and his visionary supporters are drlv-
ing through the Nebraska legislature.
