The New York World is just now strenuously | exerting itself in making an almost daily appeal to the republicans to “also nominate Wilgon, and backing it up with letters from staunch | democrats folowing suit on the lead. It goes | without saying that there is about as much chance that the republicans will “also nominate Wilson'’ as that they will “also nominate Bryan,” for whom the same sort of an appeal could bhe to put patriotism above politics, peace above war, and humanity above natfonality made, As every school boy knows it is not in the | leaves of history for one great political party to ““also nominate” the candidate of the opposing party and thus to admit that there is mo one else who can successfully guide the ship of state | through an emergency. The one time, since the days of Washington, when conditions made unity essential to the perpetuation of the republic was when Lincoln was up for re-election, but the democrats did not “also nominate” Lincoln, but, on the contrary, set up McClellan on a platform declaring the war to gave the union a failure, As a matter of fact were it not for the com plications of the Kuropean war, the democrats themselves would in all probability hold Wilson | to his one term pleuge and nominate someone the | else. The only rational explanation of World's campaign must be that it is horn of fear of Wison's weakness For the Waters of the Platte Proceedings between the states of Nebhraska | and Colorado, concerning the dlstribution of the | waters of the South Platte river, will be more in the nature of equity than law before the court, The law of the use of water {s pretty well fixed For irrigation and similar purposes the doetrine of priority applies. The first to claim I8 entitled to the use of what he actually needs as against any other, and subsequent rights are listed in order. This rule doeg not halt at state lines, but applies throughout the length of the stream.

Senator John son of South Dakota fathers a measure that would have the Indians name thelr own superin tendents, while Senator lane of Oregon pro- poses to place the entire control of Indian af- falrs in the hands of a commission of three to be appointed hy and responsible only to con- gress, The effect of thig legislation is plain to foresee, The Indian is still generally considered an incompetent; the federal government is under the most sacred of obligation to glve him the fullest of protection, If the demoorats have their way as indicated by the bills they are pushing, It will leave the Indian helpless be- fore rapacious whites, who seek to strip him of the last vestige of his wealth, Friends of the Indian, who have long labored to secure him justice, are energetically opposing these meas- but are compelled to fight a powerful lchby which {8 well entrenched in the . demo- cratle in congress. The measures are typieal of the reform being practiced by the ad- niinistration ures, majority Either All or Nothing. Mayor Madgett of Hastings has aset a roa sonable example for others in making out his list of expenses the late primary campalgn He has given the total amount of his expenditures, although the law will permit him to withhold some items, Other candidates have not been quite so open, or so truthful. Tae original design of the law was to procure such publicity ax would possibly obviate the corrupt use of money in connection with eloctions, The primary law placed additional burdens on aspir in requiring that they mgke themselves known to their fellow eltizens.
