KAVSAJ and Nebrasfa a'a enormous corm crop indicates plainly that the money devil and Hanna are still at it.

How about the new wall-paper trust just organized in London for #15,000, 0009 Is this due to the fostering influence of the Dingley tariff?

MRIOUS question for Democrats to consider is whether suicide is a sin in politics. If not, of course they have a right to keep silver to the fore.

IT is now hinted that if Porto Rico had not been assimilated and brought under the sphere'of Hannaistm there would probably have been no hurricane.

HAVE the buff colored journals taken due note of the fact that Mr. Root has now been in the cabinet a month and that the war is not yet ended?

THK Kansas Populists are laying low about the 300,000,000 bushel corn crop. They hope to be -able later to ring in a few calamity shrieks about "using corn aj fuel."

THAT was good news from Ohio— McLean's nomination good news for the Republicans meaning as it does at least 75,000 plurality for the Republican candidate.

Tua Memphis Scimitar says that poor old Watterson is being kicked and cuffed by all parties and factions in Kentucky, and he has to grin and pretend that he likes it.

WITH Richard Oroker, the Rev. Dr. ParkhurBt, and former Speaker Reed, §11 standing on or under the same platform7~~%he age of political miracles seems not to have passed.

THB more Richard Croker's declaration for Bryan iB considered, the more it becomes apparent to political student! that it was Intended solely for local effect in the coming November •lection.

I* the antiB and the PopB could only connect American expansion in some waj with the present bad Btate of affair* in San Domingo and blame the whole trouble on Hanna, how effective it would be.

NOTHIK6 is more eloquent than facta, •aya Dan's Review. Actual payments through the principal clearing houses for the week were 23 per cent, greater than laBt year and 53 per cent, larger than in the corresponding week of 1893.

SBNATOB PKTTIGREW'S declaration that this country should apologize to the world for itB course in the Philippines, recalls us to the fact that we have here a few skunkB and pessimists whom the country ought to apologize for to the world.

JUDGING from the number of dinners to which Amiral Dewey has been invited, there Beems to be an impression abroad that, in addition to having the wisdom of a Solon and the courage of a Leonidas, he alao possesses the digestion of an ostrich.

SECBBTABT ROOT has promptly adopt* ed one of the recommendations of the Porto Rican commission by directing the oommiiBary general to buy Porto Bican coffee for UBB in the army. A large part of the product will be immediately purchased and the money for it will go to thoBe badly in need of 11

GBNKBAL MBBBITT, who was the first American commander in the Philippines, hae gone to Lake Ohamplain, at President McKinley's request, presumably to talk about Philippine affairs. This has revived the rumor that General Merritt would return to the Philippines, but no confirmation can be obtained in official circles.

BOTH the Democrats and the Republicans in Ohio are said to be highly gratified over the nomination of John B. McLean for governor. Of course the Democrats may be pleased at the prospect of Mr. McLean opening his well filled bar'l, but otherwise are not their gratification protestations some* thing on the order of the belated school boy's courage as he went whistling through a graveyard?

BBYAH'S warning to Democrats not to rely too strongly on the anti-trust issue is for once sound and timely. He sees that many of the trusts are breaking up from natural causes and that others will collapse before the meeting next year of the national conventions. Moreover, others see it if Bryan does not, that the Democrats have been no particular enemies of trusts until now all of a sudden they think they see In such an attitnde a chance for a political move. The Republicans attacked trusts earlier than did the Democrats, or rather their attacks were opposed by Democrats, and national legislation against trusts enacted by Republicans was at the first opportunity repealed by Democrats. This was at the time of the destruction of the McKinley «and enactment of the Wilson law. It probably was not a matter of Democratic friendship to trusts, but Bimply an action hostile to Republican policy, bat is either case it showB clearly that the present intense and righteous hatred of the Democracy for trusts is a thing of very recent origin.

THE American high priest of Bilver sayB that the present good times are caused by the increase of gold mined and put into circulation and that therefore with free-silver, we would be yet more prosperous. As he expresses it: "Any improvement in business conditions due to the increased production of gold or to a favorable balance of trade, instead of supporting the gold standard doctrine, showB that more money makes better times and pointB the way to bimetallism as the means of securing a permanent increase in the volume of standard money throughout the world."

In other words if we have bad times, they are due to the accursed gold standard but if we have good times and on a gold standard, it simply shows that we ought to have Bilver. It is rather hard to get away from a socalled argument that fits any condition.

THE Omaha World-Herald, Mr. Bryan's paper, which is now for freesilver, but was once for free-trade, makes sympathetic comment on the "administration's hard struggle for revenue." The editor of the WorldHerald should make examination of the present receipts ci the government before venturing such rr^sh commiseration. Including all the war expenses the first 39 days of August showed an excess of $3,000,ono of receipts over expenditures. Of course the World-Herald would like to see a large monthly deficit, but it is not likely to be accommodated during the present year.

A NUMBER of construction concerns have had to close their works temporarily because the iron and steel mills of the country are unable to keep up with their orders. If it wasn't for the present administration, the Chicago Post says, this never would have happened. The Iron and Bteel mills would have more material on hand than they could conveniently dispose of, and, incidentally, most of them would be shut down. Thus it is plain that this man McKinley must be defeated at the next election.

BRYAN'S pathetic appeal in his recent speech at Tipton, Mo., shows how uncertain the young man considers his chances and that he realizes the necessity of mustering every vote possible "Let us," he said to the Democrats and Populists, "travel" together when we can and separate only when we have to." The Democrats will generally stick by Bryan but it is not probable that the Populists relish again coming out at the little end of the fusion horn.

THE Washington committee that is collecting money for the relief of the Porto Rico hurricane sufferers, has received checks for 8250 each from President McKinley, Vice President Hobart and Secretary Root. The latter has appointed a national committee to take charge of the distribution of contributions, to which all local committees will report. Ex-Secretary Bliss iB chairman of this committee.

Now General Miles has incurred the displeasure of the yellow newspapers by commending the general management of affairs in the Philippines by General Otis. AB a matter of cold fact the only great military lights of the country area few correspondents who know everything and an equal number of editors hoi couldn't tell a "column left" from a "fours right."

,:'.v

MR. BRYAN says that when a new baby is born Into a household the parents do not expel the other children. The Democracy, he says, should gather all the new babes—Imperialism, militaryism and trusts, as well as free silver—into its arms and fight for them. Bat still, as we hear the first sounds of tha wicked onslaught, we fear that one child haB been forgotten and left out in the cold, hard world, too weak to even cry for help. Forgotten! Forgotten! Mr. Bryan's poor little firstborn,—free trade.

WILL the proposed investigation of trusts by the Democracy begin with the Bilver trust, which continues to -look after'1 Mr. Bryan?

THE COUNTY COUNCIL.

It 1* Enabled to Make a Radical C«t In Taxes for Next Tear—The Flfam,

The county council last Friday completed its work and adjourned. The session was an interesting one and from the results obtained it ia to a certain extent a vindication of the good of the county reform law. In this county, perhaps, the good of the law will not be so clearly seen. We have had a magnificent board of commissioners for the past' four years and they have administered the affairs of the county in such a way that brought us out of debt. Had the county council never been heard of the commissioners would have made another reduction in *'. Tes this year as it did li6t, when it was at the same time paying off the county debt.

The new law, however, will result in the county being conducted considerably cheaper than it ever has been since it assumed anything like its present importance. The poor account. for example, is ICBS than half for the coming year what it has been in the past year. There are other expenses that correspond. The total appropriation for county expenses made by the council is 805,979.58, and for free gravel roads, 817,745. This allowed a reduction in the county tax of from 30 cents for last year to 20 cents for this year, and on the free gravel road tax a reduction of from 10 cents last year to S% cents this coming year.

The council did not cut the estimates of any of the officers except th6 commissioners and Beveral of the assessors. The estimate of the assessor of Madison was reduced from 8181 to 8150 the assessor of Coal Creek was reduced from 8320 to 8240 the assessor of Ripley from $240 to 8150 and the assessor of Union from 811200 to 8900.

The commissioners' estimate of 825,000 for repairs for court house was disallowed after considerable discussion and no appropriation for new bridges was made. The county council is evidently of the opinion that we do not need any more bridges in the county.

An Ohio Sportsman.

There lives in the vicinity of Columbus, O., a rich farmer who is so contrary that he coopers whatever his neighbors may do. Recently they got together and agreed that their lands must be posted if they expected to have a quail or a squirrel, a 'possum or a coon left in the county. Accordingly it was done. Signs painted in gory letters suddenly stared the sportsman in the face, and guns and fishing tackle dropped thirty points in tha market. Our country friend decided that he would not post his land, and, in direct opposition to his neighbor, set up a score of these signs about his 5,000 acres of rich bottom on the banlts of the Olentangy: "Shoot and fish all you please on this land. And when the horn blows come to dinner."

He is the most popular man in the county, and the hunters and fishermen have offered him any office that may be at the disposal of the electorate. A WONDERFUL, CUE OF DIAKKHQCA,

I suffered with diarrhoea for a long time and thought I was past being cured.
