Last week the Star Journal of
Ainsworth swapped proprietors ,
Jas. W. Burleigh retiring and K.
S. Rising and C. A. Barnes assum
ing charge. Mr. Burleigh gave a
long farewell address in which he
indicated that his heart was right
though he made mistakes and asked
:
'the forgetfulness of the people for o >
them. The new proprietors are oe oe
well known business men of Ains- e :
wprth and if they follow their intentions - <
tentions the Star-Journal will rise c
above personalities and controver ir
sies. The paper will be republican it
in and with * 'the ittl
politics start be tl
lief that the republican principles tltl
have been responsible for the un
precedented prosperity of the 01
country , and that republican of !
ficials and law-makers are necessary
n ;
sary for the carrying into effect
of those principles. " The DEMO
CRAT extends the usual courtesies
and hopes to meet them as men ,
though opposed politically to their Pi
jbeliet di
t
The Democratic State Platform ,
Following is the platform adopted at the state convention at Columbus :
We , the democrats of Nebraska , in convention assembed , reaffirm
our faith in the principles of the party ad enunciated in the last national
platform , adopted at Kansas City.
We denounce the national republican administration for its failure
to carry out its promises heretofore made and its subservience to special
interests at the expense of and to the detriment of the interests of the
public at large.
We are unalterably opposed to any form of asset currency legisla
tion and to any legislation of the character of the Aldrich bill.
We demand that the attorney genenal of our state shall make ap
plication to the supreme court of the United States for permission to
put the Nebraska maximum freight law into immediate effect , in accord
with the suggestion ot the court. In the campaign one year ago the
democracy of Nebraska charged that the election of a republican legis
lature would be a victory for the railroads and other corporate interests
which presume to dictate in state allairs.
, We call attention to the faithful manner in which republican officials
have championed the corporations , enacting and applying statutes to
the injury of the home owners , farming and business interests to the
profit of the raihoads and othe public corporations. We charge that
the late republican legislature deliberately substituted the Ramsev bill
intending thereby to deny to the farmers of this state all relief irom the
grain trust , the most burdensome and exacting combine now operating
within this state.
We arraign the republican party of Neb.aska for the failure of thei
last legislature to keep its ante-election promises ; to provide a just and j
equitaple revenue law , and charge chat it surreodered to corporate in
fluence and dictation , discriminated in favor of the railroads in the tax-
's ' ! ation thereof.
We arraign the republican state administration for its extravagant
expenditures and for burdening the state with an immense lloating in
debtedness as a direct result of such action and we demand a more
economic handling of the public funds. The shameful interference by
Governor Mickey in the efforts of his deputies to properly and honestly
enforce the provisions of the oil inspection law should meet the severe
condemnation of every lover of law. His notorious and successful at-f
tempt to pei mit the Standard Oil company to sell in this state a grade"
of oil condemed by his deputies as dangerons to the life and property of
consumers must be construed as evidence of woeful ignorance or crimi
nal collusion.
We believe the judiciary to be the corner stone of American govern
ment , both state and national. Upon its ability , independence and in
tegrity rests the future of American institutions. We therefore demand
that the judiciary of this state be kept free from partisan bias and the A
undue influence of special and corporate interests.
We commend to the voters of Nebraska the record of John J. Sulli
van as embodying our ideas of the high character the judiciary ought to
entertain.
We invite all citizens , without reference to their political affilia
tions , who agree with us in the foregoing principles and who believe in
an independent judiciary to support the nominees of this convention.

1803. The celebration will take place
from September 26th to October 1st

program that includes a

MAY MAKE CHANGES IN ARMY
SiniT31ay Divide De
partment of Missouri anil
Rehabilitate Abandon
ed Forts.
Washington , D. 0. , Sept. 2. The
Post says that the general staff of
the army is considering the advis
ability of realigning the depart
moots to conform to changes in
the transportation situation. "It
is possible , " says the Post , "that
one or more departments will be
created. The department of the
east , for example , may be divided
into two , the new one to be desig
nated either as the department of
the south or the gulf. Kansas ,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
may be taken from the the depart
ment of Missouri and combined in
to one department.
Another proposition , even of
more interest to the country , that
is being considered by the general
staff , is the rehabilitation of num
erous forts and posts in various
parts of the country , but mainly
in the west , which have been
abandoned for several years. Now
that the army consists of nearly
70,000 men it is discovered that
the posts which have been kept in
repair are not numerous enough to
accommodate the troops comfort
ably. It is not improbable that in
this necessity some new posts will
have to be establised. World-Her

The great State of Nebraska , in
making her World's Fair exhibit
at St. Louis , will draw largely from
the state museum , with its treas
ures , valued at more than § 125,000
and will also have the private col
lection of the Hon , Charles H. Merrill -
rill , which cost more than 850,000.
Nebraska's commission selected
a building site on the plateau of
.States facing the Kansas building ,
and between the Oklahoma and
Colorado buildings. The building
was designed by Thomas Kimball ,
of Omaha. It will be 80x100 feet
and will cost $15,000.
The appropriation provided by
the state legislature is § 35,000.
Commercial organizations and pri
vate individuals have undertaken
the task of doubling this sum , and
have guaranteed the success of the
undertaking. With the collection
of the state museum and Prof. Mor-
ril's valuable collection , Nebraska
will practicably have § 200,000 at
her disposal.
In the department of Education ,
Nebraska will make an especially
comphrensive exhibit under the
control of Prof. E. H. Barbour , of
the Nebraska State University , at
Lincoln.
In the Palace of Agriculture , the
sugar beet industry will be the basis
for a splendid display , showing the
accepted methods of cultivating the
beet , and in the production of sug
ar. A sugar beet factory will be
shown in operation. Nebraska is
the state in which this great indus
try was developed , and where the
first sugar beet factory and refin
ery were established. ,
Other products in the agricul
tural department that will form
the basis for large exhibits will be
wheat , corn , oats and the grasses.
The horticultural exhibit will em
brace choice selections from the
apple , grape and small fruit crops.
The usual field day exercises
will take place at Ft. Niobrara
next Tuesday , Sept. 15th. For
lack of space we are unable to pub
lish the program this week.
We enjoyed a pleasant call yes
terday with Mrs. M. E. Phelps , of
Chicago , a sister of Mrs. Jas.
Wilson of Georgia , who died about su
year ago. Mrs. Phelps has been st <
