The developments by Hie dispensary
investigation are becoming
more serious as well as sensational.
Heretofore the revelations
of alleged corruption and bribery
have related mainly to county
dispensers and other subordinate
officers of the dispensary system,
but during the past tew days
grave charges have been made
i.? :t it.. t:

committee against
former heads of the institution.
Whether tho?e charges can be sub
stantiated is altogether another
proposition. They are vigorously
denied by the parties accused,
and as a matter of simple justice
to those whose integrity has been
assailed, the public should bus
pend judgment until all the evidence
is in.
KHYAN IN THE PUBLIC EYE, AGAIN.
Democratic public sen'imenl
is gradually crystallizing in favor
of the nomination of Bryan for
President in 11)08. The
democratic conventions of
several states, among them
Missouri and Indiana, and a
number of judicial or congres
hional districts in <)liio, have al
ready endorsed Bryan as the proper
one to be chosen as the party's
national standard bearer two
years hence. Even Tammany is
said to be for the Nebraskan.
Time has demonstrated tie
wisdom and truth of much tha;
Bryan stood tor when he was de
Joaied in 1SVM> and again in 1000
?hence the general verdict that
.-e is the logical candidate ol the
Democratic party in the next
presidential campaign. There is
no telling, however, what the
conditions will be in 1008?what
new issues may be before the
country. By that time a stronger
and more available man even
than Bryan now appears to be

In his previous races Kryan
<1 id not receive the distinctively
conservative vole of the country.
He was regarded as being two
radical in his views. The pow
erful moneyed interests of tlie I
North, the East and the North- j
west fought him because it was
claimed that his election would
jeopardise the country's general
welfare?would unsettle values ^m
and possibly c'use a disastrous
tiuancial panic. But all that has 1
changed. There has been a revjolutiou
in public sentiment since !
those days. Instead of being the
extremist and violent agitator lie
was then pictured to be, the peo
pie now recognize in Bryan a
i man of marked liberality of
thought, great perspicacity and
wonderlul foresight It is now ?
seen, in the light of recent reye- ??
lauons, that the Nebrnskan was II
right when he made his charge- II

COURTHOUSE AND JAIL FOR SALE? ir.
The attention of the esteemed 1* 1
Abbeville Medium is invited to dti
| the notice of Lancaster's clerk
; that there will be no June term
jot court, in that county. While 'U
i the official notice does not give
ine reason, 11 is learned mat 11 is he
because there is not enough business
on tlie docket to justify
holding court The dispensary P"
was voted out of Lancaster last in,
year. We notice, by the way,
that the fence around the court
house has been sold, and we may
expect the court house and jail
to be advertised tor sale or rent ta
next.?Chester Lantern. of
Yes, esteemed contemporary, re
our people have become so good, dr
so law-abiding ? since the dispensary
went, "where the wood
! bine twineth" that the sale ot the '?
court house fence may soon be wi
followed bv the placing of the $1
courthouse itself and the jail on W(
the bargain counter. By the way,
1 doesn't Chester need 'em in her
business ? Your county now has
all of Lancaster's convicts and \\
there is no reason why you
shouldn't take the whole shoot .

PRICE ON THE PRICE OF COTTONPrice,
the f imous cotton speculator,
usually a "bear" but at Al

' swerable reasons why the mar- .
ket should advance. After re- ?
citing the fact that the depart
merit of agiiculture now pracii
i ca'ly admits that tiie increase in
acreage over last year "is barely a'
I *' * 1 n

daily papers, says that smdi ad- In

with the real truth ol the situa- ex
