We must get togethor somehow. LiveriNGiovss and Test have ad- mitted enourh under oath to consign them immediately to the shades of pri- vate life. Ir THE lady who testified to the mis- conduct of the steward and suporinten- dent at Flastings was really such a bad woman before she met these two persons why was sho given a place in the asy- lum? A LONDON papor suggests that mur- derers in this country who are to be killed by electricity be chloroformed before the current is turned on. The suggestion is not a bad one especially coming from a country which performs its legal killing upon a scafiold with rope. SECRETARY OF STATE ALLEN was almost cruel in his examination of Liv- eringhouse. How could the thrifty ex- grocer and ex-butter maker of Grand Island be expected to explain why he bought a large quantity of tobaceo at 40 cents per pound on the last day of the quarter when he knew he could buy the same article the next day under a new contract for 20 cents per pound? Tue Burlington railroad is now within 200 miles of the Northern Pacific. In other words an extension of 200 miles will tap the cattle trade of the state of Montana. Omaha packers are getting in need of cattle. They have facilitios for killing from 150,000 to 200,000 more cattle than can be obtained from the prosont tributary tervitory. Montana would furnish these cattle and a half million head more to this market if we had the proper railroad connection. FAIRBURY, the prosperous and enter- prising county seat of Jofferson county, is rejoicing over the prospact of an olo- gant new stono court house to cost some- thing near $50,000. Jefforson is ono of the most fortile counties in the state and Fairbury the brightest jowol on tho St. Joseph & Grand Island railroad line between Hastings and St. Joseph. Both tho city and county are to bo congratus lated upon the new court house which is a pormanent monument of the prosperity and public spirit of as thrifty and intel- ligont a community as can be found in Nobraska. THE stoamer Robert and Minnie took a cargo of arms and munitions of war to the island of San Clomente and there delivered them to the Itata, a Chilian insurgent vessel, Tho Robert and Min- nio was libeled in the United States court. Judge Ross has dismissed the suit and sev the vessel free. This leaves the govornment practically without ground of action against the Itatn excopt on the charge of violuting the harbor vogulations by leaving without formal permission. The expenditare of $100,- 000, the exciting chase, the capture of the Itata and all this grand stand per- formance is likely to bo useless if not positively ridiculous. As has been be- fore remarked, the Itata is a Tartar, and the navy and state departments would give the valuo of the vessel for some ro- spectablo way to lot her go without fur- thor ceromony. JonN .

CORNERING WHE AT, A dispateh from Chieago is going the rounds of the press pretending to give somewhat in dotail a grand seheme for o farmers’ whoat corner. It is bavely | possible the loaders of the farmers’ al- linneo are attempting by co-oporation and secret manipulations to affect the market price of the great wheat crop soon to be garnered. It is highly prob- able, however, that instead of the farm- | ors’ alliance doing this the shrewd Chi- cago operators are attempting to bull | the wheat mavket for their own benefit. | Prices will bo higher than for years | without doubt. The American surplus will be needed abroad. The short erop of last year in this country ana the short crop of this yenr in Europe bave so mas terially reduced the supply in all the markets of the world that good remunerative returns are assured our armers. THE Bk has steadfastly urged Nebraska farmers to hold back their surplus for the later markets and is still of the opinion that such a course will bo im- mensely profitible. It has no faith, however, in any combination ov farm- ers’ trust for forcing high prices The scheme looks entiroly too much like an attempt of the oporators in Chicago to influence the market immediately. The warehouse law in Nebraska af- fords farmers the opportunity of which they have long stood in need. If advan- tage be taken of its beneficent provisions this year the immediate necessities of grain growers may he relieved by bor- rowing upon a portion of the crop, stor- ing it for that purpose and holding it and the remaining surplus for the bet- ter prices of the winter. Instead of at- tempting a corner of the markot the alliance can do its members and this agricultural state a vastly more important service by erecting at once the warehouses necessary to store the surplus. Under the new law every elevator and warehouse whore grain or produce is stored for a com- pensation beeomes a public warehouse. The owners of private clevators are, by the conditions, almost compelled to use their storago buildings as public ware- houses, or to construct others for that purpose. The effect of the law, thore- fore, is practically to make all elevators public property to the extent that they must receive the grain of the farmer without discrimination and store it upon the conditions laid down in the new law. Thoso who attempt to maintain private clovators without provision for the pub- lic in some pacticular are likely to feol the effects of the competition of the dealers with public elevators very lkeenly. The provident farmers will sell outright to the men who have extra storage for such grain, as they desire to hold for subsequent markets. The great question now with the Nebraska farmer is not 8o much what can he get for his wheat when he thrashes it, but where can it be stored after it is thrashed? Wo have not granaries or elevators enough to hold the surplus. THE last Texas logislature passed a stringent alien land law and now there is an urgent demand from the farmers of the state for its repeal. Their land mortgage indebtedness to foroigners amounts to some $45,000,000, and as the law prohibits aliens from holding title to Texas land the consequence is that the foreigners are threatening to call in their loans. This has caused a very uneasy feeling among the bor- rowors and the governor is bsing urged to all an extra session of the legislature for the purpose of repealing the law. There are objections 10 the ownership of land by aliens, but people who must borrow money cannot expect to have alt the advantages on their side. The ox pevience of Texas in this matter, though it is mot exceptional, may be useful as a lesson to other communities in which thore is an exargerated pro- judice against foreigners owning land, WILLIAM FORSYTHE, over whose ap- pointment as chiet of the horticultural department of the world’s fair there has been a flerce controversy, has met his enomios with documentary evidence of the falsity of the charges made agains him avd will probably be confirmed.

Bryan who complimented the society on its pr perity and bem considorable of what thoy terwed “taffy.” Still they took it good naturcdly and applauded him. Hon. Philip Audres, ono of the oldest turn- ers in America and fathor of tho Nebraska orzanizations, then appeared und delivered in German an interesting address on the sub- ject of “Plysical Culture.” He dwelt at longth on the great benefits to be der from syst training and urged bis b ers to divorce all_tendency to spor gambling from tho turnor exhivitions or competitions and rccommended that _the honor of winning and the physical bencfit to be derived from the training be’considered alono. This, ho was glad to say, was tho policy of the North American turners. A noble example was set by the Greele and Roman athletes who contested for the laurel wreath alone. The tirners were following this example. The speakor condomned the ordinary go-as-you-plcase gyinua- sium methods and commended the system- atic training of tho turners, He commended the Lincolu Turnverein for the wonderful ad- vancement made by it in only two years. He spoke with pride of the fact that the turner societies in the United States uot only looked after the perfect physical develop- ment of its member, but_also insisted on the development of a' patrictic spirt toward America and its institutions. ho lattor portion of the ovening was do- voted to dancing.
