County Commissioner.
Having lived in this county nearly all my life and
never having asked for, or held, a county office,
I have taken this opportunity to offer myself as

All those who would dishonor
the flag naturally look to the
Democratic party for help. With
patriots it is different.
The State regiments arriving
from the Philippines do not bring
back with them the supply of ter
rible stories the anti-expansion
cranks were expecting.
It will be noticed that the Dem
ocratic platform makers are too
busy with foreign matters to pay
attention to the "full dinner-pail"
question.
Mr. Bryan is still trying to
master the difficult feat of riding
three different parties in the State
of Nebraska. The country circus
riders will be able to learn some
thing from his experience.
Everything indicates at present
that the fall trade will be about
the biggest boom ever witnessed in
this country or in the world. It
will be a hard matter to make the
sober common people believe that
the "advance agent of prosperity"
is not a great success.
Bryan says 30,000 traveling
men will oppose the Republican
party. Traveling men throughout
the country are having the biggest
sales on record, and what is more,
they know to whom they owe their
prosperity. —\V orcester (Mass.)
' 'Spy-"
The fact that over 100,000 claims
were rejected shows the care taken
by the present Administration in
dealing with the Pension question,
and also is an evidence that too
much care cannot be exercised to
keep the Treasury from being
looted by fraudulent claimants.
Just now it looks on the surface
as though Bryan was certain to be
nominated again next year, but if
the Republicans carry Nebraska
this fall, and thus beat Bryan in
his own state, the two-thirds rule
of the Democratic Convention
would be almost certain to beat his
nomination.
This is a Republican year—and
the bank clearances and commer
cial agency reports show that fully
50 per cent, more business is being
done in the United States than was
done during the reign ofGroverll.
And yet you will now and then
run across a hollow-headed poli
tician who will tell you that it
would be well for this country to
go back to the deed sea stagnation
of those hard old Free-Trade and
free-soup Democratic days.—Dar
lington, (.Mo.) "Record."
Atkinson, leader of the "Antis"
in Boston, has served notice on the
President that he has been given a
few days of grace to repent of his
expansion policy and withdraw the
troops from the Philippines, and
threaten to form a party of their
own if their requests are not com
plied with. There was no use of
doing this. They should act at
once, for they have quite a job
before them. Iloar and Atkinson
•should make a ticket that would
.add greatly to the humors of the
<campaign.

The Barbarism of the niddle Ages
Surpassed.
The infamous verdict of the
military court martial of Captain
Dreyfus, at Renues, France, last
Saturday, was a surprise to the
Christian civilization of the entire
world, and is received everywhere
with acute manifestations of horror
and disgust.
Not since the dark days of the
Middle Ages has there been a par
allel of this signal act of military
despotism in the annals of French
history. The glorious army of
Franee, the pride of the people and
master of the nation, composed of
men who are the incarna
tion of religious and political
bigotry, debauchery and hypocrisy;
sons of bankrupt noblemen, who
have been left to choose between
the honors of militarism and the
emoluments of politics as a means
of livlihood; robbers, gamblers,
beggars, reeking with filthy and
licentiousness—unique specimens
of the most degenerate manhood,
through the medium of a farcical
court martial condemns an inno
cent man to a long term of im
prisonment, without a scintilla of
proof of his guilt and in the face of
overwhelming evidence of his inno
cence, just to satisfy the honor of
the army, while the populace in
approbation stands idly by shouting
its benedition of "Vive 1' Armee"
in a voice that awakens the echoes
the past; and the barljarous wail of
the Middle Ages mingles with
the shouts of the vandals of the
present to drown the stern voice of
justice in France. It is a step back
wards for justice, but it is only to
gain a fresh start that will give it
momentum enough to carry it over
the barricade of bigotry and hatred.
The prisoner's hope that he
would be accorded a fair and im
partial trial received a rude shock
the day he was placed on the wit
ness stand, when the effrontery of
Colonel Jouaust, President of the
Court, first manifested itself and
grew more pronounced as the trial
proceeded, as evidenced by his
opposition to almost every measure
of the defense that was slightly out
of order or in any way personal,
while Generals Mercier, Billot,
Roget, M. Bertillion and other
witnesses of the prosecution were
allowed to keep the stand for hours
heaping upon the prisoner tirades
of abuse and torturing him with
malicious machinations which had
no bearing whatever on the case
and to which not even a reply was
allowed by the Court.
The verdict of theCourtand that
of the world is greatly at variance,
as the opinion of the general press
shows, and which highly condemns
the action of the army. Dreyfus'
star has not yet sunk and ere many
days we believe that he will be
liberated and vindicated by a ris
ing passion in Republican France
that will sweep the General Staff
from its feet.
Are these ,Wen Democrats.
The Chicago platform Democrats
held a great mass meeting in New
York on Monday evening, at which
ex-Governor Altgeld. of Illinois,
was the chief speaker. It was a
movement of the free silver leaders
to force the Democrats of New
York into the acceptance of the
Chicogo platform in its entirety,
says the Philadelphia Times, Dem.
The meeting was overwhelming
in numbers and intense in its en
thusiasm. Two names were cheered
to the echo. When Bryan was
named the audience was tumultous
in its cheers, and when Aguinaldo,
leader of the barbarian cut-throats
of Luzon, was proclaimed as "one
of the great heroes of the world,"
the vast audience became frantic
in its cheers and applaudits ol' ap
proval.
On the same evening Senator
Tillman, ol' South Carolina, spoke
in Providence, R. 1., before the
New England Bimetallic League,
and his mission was the same as
that of Altgeld in New York.
They are doing missionary work to
force the Democracy to repeat the
suicide of 189G by reaffirming the
Chicago platform in 1900.
Senator Tillman's speech was
quite as treasonable as the speeches
before the cheap money, repudia
tion and agrarian audience in New-
York. After exhausting his vast
reserve of political blackguardism,
he concluded with this significant
statement: "The South and South
Carolina will at any time send as
many men in proportion to its
population to any war of decency
and honor, but it will not send a
regiment to the Philippines."
How long can Democracy stand
the ebullitions of leaders who fall
little if any short of the Anarchist;
who have only words of cheer for
the barbarous foes of our brave
soldiers in the Philippines, and
who denounce their President,
their government, their Hag, and
the honor and credit of the nation,
and pour out the highest encomi
ums upon Aguinaldo? If Demo
cracy is to make a battle in 1900,

Are these men Democrats?
WASHINGTON LETTER.
{From wtr Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11th, 1899.
President McKinley and Secre
tary Root are both pleased at the
rapidity with which the recruiting
of the new regiments for the
Philippines is going on. Although
a number of the recruiting offices
in various sections have just open
ed, reports to the War Department
show that half of the ten regiments
are already enlisted. The official
order for recruiting two colored
regiments, which will be the last
of the volunteers, was issued Sat
urday afternoon.
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana,
who recently returned from the
Philippines, where he made an ex
haustive personal investigation of
affairs, was warmly welcomed by
President McKinley, to whom he
made a very full statement, during
conferences covering a considerable
portion of three consecutive days.
Senator Beveridge declined to make
a statement for publication at this
time concerning what he told the
President, but it is known that the
President considers the informa
tion brought him to be important,
and that much of it is confirmatory
of what Prof. Sehurman had al
ready told him.
Commissioner Evans has been
holding a continuous reception to
G. A. R. men ever since he re
turned from the encampment.
Speaking of his experience at the
encampment he said: "The good
will of the veterans was manifested
wherever I went. There was not
a ripple against me wherever I met
them. The only opposition was
led by Washington attorneys,
whose attempts to influence the
encampment were a failure from
beginning to end. lam much
gratified at the outcome of the en
campment, so far as the Pension
office is concerned, and I am feel
ing very comfortable over the fact
that, after so much threatened
trouble for me at Philadelphia, I
have returned to Washington, not
only unscathed, but with a strong
endorsement of my official acts. I
have performed my full duty con
scientiously both to the government
and to the pensioners, and I say
again that I am highly gratified
that the veterans have acknowl
edged mj' good faith in the admin
istration of my office."
The association of Spanish War
Veterans, whose first encampment
has just closed, elected President
McKinley as their first honorary
member. Gen. J. W. Keifer,
Commander-in-Chief, and Miss
Helen Gould, Sponsor.
Brigadier General Overshine,
late Commander of the Second
Brigade of Lawton's division,
Eighth Army Corps, is in Wash
ington on sick leave. He said of
his Philippine service: "I had in
my brigade the Wyoming, North
Dakota and Idaho regiments of
volunteers, and the 14th Infantry
of Regulars, and was in the south
ern part of Luzon with Lawton,
about six weeks. We captured
everything we went after and held
every city we took. Gen. Wver
sliine says he thinks the next cam
paign will wind up the rebellion.
Of the men's rations he said: "We
had the best Australian beef and
mutton, even better than you get
in Washington. Our other sup
plies were equally as good, and
there was no complaint," and of
another story widely published, he
said: "As to the reports of Fili
pino soldiers mutilating our dead,
and our soldiers mutilating the
enemy for revenge, I never saw a
single case of any kind of mutila
tion and don't believe there was
any with Lawton's command."
Tho War Department wishes it
known that it will forward pack
ages of books and papers to the
soldiers in the Philippines, free of
charge, if they are sent to either
Major Long, l\ S. Quartermaster,
San Francisco, Cal., or Col. Jones,
U. S. Quartermaster, New York
City. These packages may be for
general distribution or addressed
to any organization, just as the
donators may please.
The best informed men in Wash
ington have known for some time
that Mr. Hobart was as certain of
renomination as Mr. McKinley,
provided the state of his health
would permit him to accept His
health has not been good since
last winter and that has caused
fear among bis friends. There is no
ground whatever for the gossip
alleging a movement among prom
inent Republicans to supplant Mr.
Hobart on the ticket. There is
not a single Republican, prominent
in National affairs, who is not
cordially in favor of Mr. Hobart's
renomination, and President Mc-
Kinley's strong friendship for Mr.
Hobart is known everywhere.
There has never been a President
and Vice President more thor
oughly in accord, personally and
politically, than these two men
liave been from tlie day they were
placed on the ticket together, and
there has never been a Vice Presi
dent who was allowed so large a
share in shaping natioual policies
as Mr. Hobart had. The great
ability of the man has had as much
to do with this as the friendship of
tlie President for him.
It Is Not Necessary.
"Mr. Bryan," says the ('amerou
County Press, "will goto the next
National Democratic Convention
as a delegate, hat it is not believed
that President McKinley will follow
his example."
President McKinley goto the
next National Democratic Conven
tion ? Not while the birds sing
and the rivers run towards the sea!
He won't even goto the next
National Republican Convention,
and his reason for staying away is
conclusive.
His presence there will not be
necessary. He will be renominated
on a winning platform, without
opposition.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
