THE news from Cuba with reference
to the cause of the explosion which
6ent the Maine to the bottom of Ha
vanna harbor, is as vague and indefi
nite today as could well be imagined.
The Cuban Junta is certain that
Spanish treachery was at the bottom
of it, while Uavanna is in mourning
over the unfortunate occurrence and
showers words of sympathy and con
dolence on the government which lost
eo many brave seamen. There has
been no investigation, and with the
giant warship lying at the bottom of
the harbor it is not likely that there
will be anything definite known for
several days.
The report that Russia has ordered
American armor plate for two of her
new vessels at the rate of $500 a ton
should do something toward settling
the controversy over the cost of that
article, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
As the American company had to
compete with the European makers at
some disadvantage as to distance, it is
fair to conclude that the Russian gov
ernment is not overcharged and that
$500 a ton represents only a moderate
profit over the cost of production.
The fact that Harvtyized steel plate
was chosen in preference to that made
by the Krupp process is another ele
ment of satisfaction, since that is the
material with which our own vessels
are defended.
For shame 1 for shame I will be the
universal exclamation in thi3 state
when the opinion of the supreme
court is read which makes Eugene
Moore, the embezzler of $2S,000 of
state money, a free man. Moore
plead guilty to taking the money, but
denied the embezzlement on the
ground that he had no right to re
ceive the money which had been
voluntarily paid over to him. Th
supreme court takes the same view oi
the case, which, to the untrained
legal mind, seems little short of fool
ish. The opinion is written by Com
missioner Irvine, a democrat, and is
acquiesced in by Ragan, the populist,
and the republican members of the
court Judge Sullivan alone dissent
ing. The present state auditor is re
ceiving the same funds every day that
Moore did, and if a change is not
made at the state house pretty soon,
he will walk out with his pockets
bulging from a surfeit of public
money. The new theory that appro
priating public money to a man's pri
vate use is not a crime, is not likely
to become very popular, and will not
likely be followed outside of this state.

The people of Nebraska, we believe,
are in earnest in their desire to make
M. L. Hayward governor. His fitness
for- the position la pre-eminent and no
corporation influence is strong enough
to defeat him.
PROSPERITY AT WORK.
Are we prospering ? There was a
mass of snow on the streets yesterday
morning; we know that in some resi
dence districts not an idle man could
bo found willing to take a job of side
walk cleaning, says the Chicago
Chronicle (dem,) A year or .two ago

from his sleep or was disturbed at
his breakfart by penis at his bell
made by men in Bearch of a job. Last
month the relieving oflicer for Cook
county gave coal and provisions to
0,116 families; in January, 1897, he
gave help to 12,40'J. The outlay on
county charities for January. 18'J8, was
$14,076; in January, 1S97, it was $32,

The glucose trust has put on the
market a by-product called "flourine,"
which.it is expected, has been adopted
by a lrge number cf millers who feel
a philanthropic desire to k.3ep the
price of flour from soaring up into the
clouds with Mr. Leiter's wheat. It is
made from corn, it looks even whiter
than flcur, and it is guaranteed to
contain nothing of an injurious char
acter. Whether it bears any relation
to the new corn flour is net fully ex
plained. The millers are making a
big disturbance over all of these sub
stitutes for flour and are demanding
that they re driven out of the market

f.-el much afraid cf any kind of Hour
made from corn and will be content
with legislation requiring an accurate
branding of the goods. That is all
the flour miller s have a right to ask.

James Parton was a biographer of
the old school and the publication of
an extract of his book giving informa
tion about General Jackson, published
in the last volume of "The World's
Best Literature," reminds one of the
fact, says an exchange. The para
graph that holds up the old hei o to
the world as the man who by his vic
tory at New Orleans "secured an hon
orable peace between Great Britain
and the United States," putting an
end to the war of 1812, is an instance
of loose historical statement that is
very characteristic. The treaty of
peace was signed at Ghent more than
a week before the battle, but neither
Jackson or Packenham had beard of
it. The battle was thoroughly legiti
mate and a good thing for the glory of
the republic, but notwithstanding,
it was a cruel mistake, for which per
haps Morse was to blame for not in
venting the electric telegrapn sooner.

KKI'LIKN TO li. U. TODD'S LETTER,
Nehawka, Feb. 16, 1808. Editor
News: I think that characteristic
letter of L. G. Todd's published in
The News of February 20th, merits
an answer. Having as yet saw noth
ing thiit couid bo called such, and. not
wishing to sou so prominent a fellow
citizen as Goo Todd thus blighted, I
enter upon the somewhat tedious task
myself.
The Goo says: "If we borrowed gold
and agreed to pay in the same kiud of
money, your joint is a strong one."
Well, that is ju-?t what we did do to a
very great extent, until gold went to a
premium. The first bonds that were
sold in 1861 over $1,000,000,000 wei e
exchanged for gold, dollar for dollar;
American gold, too, furnished by the
banks of Philadelphia, New YorK and
Boston.
Again ho says: "English gold was
sold in the United Statei for green
backs; one dollar in "gold for two and
a half in greenbacks." That is true.
These greenbacks were exchanged for
United States bonds drawing good
interest. That is true.
"About $-300,000,000 known as 'five
twenties' were is ued." That is true.
"And payable in the same kind of
money paid for them." That is not
true. Now what is ,trueV The 500,
000,000 five-twenties, better known as
the "old five twenties," did not
specify that they were to be paid in
gold or in any other kind of money.
But they did specify that the interest
was payable in gold semi-annu illy.
Also that they were i edeemable iu five
and payable in twenty years.
Redemption and payment are terms
that meant gold or its equivalent. We
cou.d either have bean effected in any
thing else. No state bank note or
United States note at this time had the
woid gold on its face, but simply
"will pay bearer ten dollars on de
mand." That meant gold or coin dol
lars, and were always paid in sueh
when presented for redemption. It
was just so with the bonds.
But the credit strengthing act, af
terwards passed, he says, made them
payable in coin. That is true, hut
they were just as certainly payable in
coin without tbat act as with it. Tne
act did not change the character, but
only reaffirmed what had before been
plainly implied not in all cases
plainly expressed that coin, siiver
coin and gold coin, should bo the
money of final redemption. Inas
much as gold was the standard and
silver comparatively scarce it pointed
to gold. In this connectiun it is only
proper to state that it w;:s at this
period that the greeubacker in poli
tics was evolved, and commenced a
howl that has not died out yet. He
went roaring up and down the laud,
exclaiming, "Pay the bonds otf in
greenbacks and let tbe greenbacks
look out for themselves." As a result
of this wild cry, the question of pay
ing the bonds in greenbacks became
a mooted one, hence the credit
strengthening act.
While not deeming it appropriate
to the subject to drag into it questions
of scriptural faith as the fall of man,
etc., which my friend, avers,
was not so well established as this 16
to 1 bimetalic; theory. I may say that
one fact that might be offered in sup
port of that particular tenet is the
persistency with which some of the
species cling to the monstrous and
long 6ince exploded doctrine of fiat
money coupled with and depending
upon a vain, vile and scheme the
creation of wealth and value by legis
lative enactment.

Supreme Court Decisions.
The following cases appealed from
Cass county have been passed upon by
the supreme court:
Karnes vs. Dovey. Error from Cass
county. Affirmed. Opinion by Chief
Justice Harrison.
It is the purpose of the statuary law
to absolutely exempt from forced ap
plication to payment of indebtedness
the sixty days' wages of parties de
signated in the statute.
2. If an account, claim or evidence
of indebtedness has been sold and as
signed by the party to whom it be
longed, and in an action in the courts
of this or another state or territory
the exempt wages of the debtor have
been taken under process and applied
to the payment of such indebtedness
in an action by the debtor against the
original owner thereof to recover tbe
amounts as provided by statute, he
may, if there are facts shown in evi
dence from which an inference or
conclusion might be drawn that the
assignment had been made without
any intent or purpose on the part of
the assignor to avoid or evade the
effect of the exemption laws, the
question of the existence or non-existence
of such inteution or purpose is
one of fact to be determined by the
jury under appropriate instructions,
and an instruction requested to be
given wbicb igno es said p-oposition
is erroneous and its refusal proper.
3. Errors in giving instructions and
in refusals to give requested instruc
tions must be separately assigned in
the motion for a new trial ai d petition
in error. Where this rule is violated
and the trial court's action is tie er
mined to have been pi oper as to one
of either of instructions given or re
fused in relation to which errors have
been assigned in gross,-the assign
ment need be no further considered.
State ex rel. Thomas Clock Co. vs.
Cass county. Error from Cass countj-.
Reversed. Opinion by Judge Sullivan.
One in whose favor a claim has been
dully allowed by a county board may,
by mandamus, compel the issuance of a
warrant for the payment of such claim.
2. The validity of an order of a
county board allowing a claim connot
be raised for the first time in thiscourt
in a case brought here by appeal or
petition in error.
3. A denial that the relator "is a
corporation duly organized under the
lews of the btate of New York" does
not put in issue the relator's corporate
existence.
4. Evidence examined and held in
sufficient to sustain , respondents' plea
of payment.
A DEAD CARNATION.
Leonard Contrmplatm the Content f m
Dealt Drawer.
The desk drawer, opened, exhaled an
odor of faded flowers.
"Let us plunge into the atmosphere
cf sweet memories," said Leonard.
Wifo absent, Leonard, addressing
Bayard, his most intimate friend, indi
cated withered blossoms. Faded and
grown musty in the lapse of years, they
reposed at the bottom of the desk
drawer.
"This lily," said Leonard, sighing,
"was the flower given me by Blanche,
my first love, when I took from her
lips a timid kiss. She was as white as
its impeccable petals, fragrant as its
pure corolla, graceful as its drooping
stem, and who knows what might have
happened had she not died in the bloom
of youth?"
"And the rose?" asked Bayard.
"Ah, that was later 1" said Leonard,
with a burst of laughter. "Rosette gave
me that when she first brushed my lips
with her own. The petals were once
rosy as her warm being, and the flower's
beauty was radiant and amorous as her
young womanhood. If she had not been
fickle, she might now be my wife."
"And the orchid?" queried Bayard.
"Hippolyta presented me with that,"
said Leonard, thoughtfully, "when Bhe
saw me trembling in adoration at her
feet. Time was when it had the mystio
charm of her own perverse personality,
and if a Russian nobleman had not
eloped with her I should still be her de
voted slave. "
Bayard discovered a bunch of faded
violets.
"And these?" he interrogated.
"They were the flowers," murmured
Leonard sadly, "which Etienette sent
me when I had treated her brutally, be
lieving that she had deceived me. She
was demure and tender as the blooms,
and, after the storm of my passions, she
came like a peaceful sprite to pour
beauty and love into my life. Had she
forgiven me, it might have been"
At this point Leonard interrupted
himself, seizing angrily a dead carna
tion. "Why is this flower here?" he cried.
"It has no place among the precioua
memories. Away with it at once!"
In a moment the unresisting carna
tion was reduced to dust under his piti
less foot.
"Why do you destroy it?" questioned
Bayard.
"Because it is the carnation Emilia
gave me when she said she would be
my wife," said Leonard, cynically,
"and I married her." Philadelphia

Hard to Heat a Boy.
A cigar dealer in the west end said
to a reporter for the Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune : "It takes a mighty
6harp man to get ahead of a boy! for a
fact. One of them came in here not
long ago, and he was old enough to buy
cigarettes and wanted a package. I sold
them and got the money. In a minute
a neighbor came in and wanted to know
what the boy bought. I told him.
"'Well,' said he, 'that beats the
devil 1 Do you know what that boy did?
He was in my store about five minutes
ago and asked me to buy a pamphlet
that is issued by the Anticigarette
league, whatever that is. He told me
that the boys in the public schools were
trying to sell them everywhere to do
away with the bad habit of cigarette
smoking among the schoolboys. I
thought it was a good thing, and I
bought one from him. He sold some
others in the same neighborhood. Now
that little rascal comes in here and
spends my money for cigarettes, and
I'll bet a dollar that you'll find him
around here somewhere near smoking
for all that's out. I'm going to look
him up.
"The next day I asked him if he had
caught the kid, and he said:
" 'I did. He and some chums were
having a good time of it, and, more
than that, all of them were in the same
business. They thought it was a good
joke, and I suppose it was on me but
if they come around my store again
they'll get booted out.'
"But," said the cigar dealer, "they
are too sharp to get caught. They only
work one man at a time, and none of
the gang ever goes back again. They keep
a list, and I expect an examination will
show that they have been to every store
in that whole neighborhood. Where
they get the pamphlets I do not know,
but I imagine some of the good people
of the league had them printed for gra
tuitous circulation, and the boys con
cluded to sell them. They're pretty
slick."
Felt Acquainted.
A Boston lady of the most reserved
and exclusive type was waiting for her
change at the glove counter in one of
the large stores when she was ap
proached by a very large, gaudily dressed
and loud looking woman, who held out
a pudgy hand in a bright green kid
glove and said:
"Why, how do yoa do, Mrs. Blank?"
Mrs. Blank ignored tbe proffered
hand and, drawing herself up stiffly,
said frigidly:
"I do not think that I know you,
madam."
"No, I s'pose not," replied the wom
an, in nowise embarrassed by the cold
ness of her reception, "but I've knowed
you by sight for a long time, and now
I've got a hired girl who worked at your
house once, a year or two ago, and she's
told me so much about you that I feel
real well acquainted with you. Pleas
ant day, ain't it? Well, if she ain't po
lite to sail off without so much as a
word! Shows her raisin, anyhow!"

REMARKABLE TOWNS.
One In England That Is Made of Railway
Carriage.
Scattered throughout tho area of
Great Britain are numerous towns and
villages of a curious character. One
large village actually consists of old
railway carriages, even tbe little mis
sion chapel being built out of four largo
horse trucks. Another village, with a
population of 1, 100 and a ratable value
of 8,000, has neither church, chapel
nor school, the only public edifice being
a pillar letter box.
Villages with a single inhabitant are
not unknown. At Skiddaw, in Cumber
land, there is a solitary householder,
who cannot vote because there is no
overseer to prepare a voters' list and no
church or other publio building on
which to publish one, while the only
ratepayer in a certain rural Northum
berland parish has recently declined to
bear the expense of repairing a road be
cause he considers it quite good enough
for himself.
In the isle of Ely there is a little
parish which has been somewhat con
temptuously described as "a portion of
land, with three or four houses and per
haps 12 inhabitants." This place has
no roads at all and is consequently put
to no expense in keeping them in repair.
As a matter of fact, there are no ex
penses of any kind and no rates.
One of the most remarkable villages
in this country is Kemptou, near Bod
ford, which is seven miles long and ex
tremely straggling. To walk from one
end of the village to the other occupies
two hours.
Sometimes whole villages will prac
tically disappear. A little Shropshire
village has gradually sunk, until now
it is almost out of sight. It is built on
a disused coal pit, and the sinking goes
on steadily every year. Now and then
a tottering house is propped up to keep
it standing, but in spite of all precau
tions buildings are constantly falling to
the ground, and in course of time doubt
less nothing will be left but a few
bricks to mark the spot where a village
once stood.
There are plenty of deserted villages
throughout the country. A diversion of
trade into other channels is sometimes
sufficient to produce this effect. Not
many years ago the proprietors of an
iron works at a town let near Sheffield,
being unable to obtain certain conces
sions from a railway company, removed
their works. Shortly afterward half the
place was to let, and the windows of
many of the houses were boarded up.

Informal Receipt.
Uneducated people sometimes have a
happy knack in coming to the point.
Here, for example, is a story from the
Boston Herald:
Dan and Mose, neither of them noted
for erudition, were partners in an enter
prise which it is needless to specify.
One morning a customer called to settle
a small bill and after banding over the
money asked for a receipt.
Mose retired to the privacy of an
inner room and after a long delay re
turned with a slip of paper, on which
were written these words:
" We've got our pay. Ale and Dan."

has never had the rheumatism since he
began to carry it, and indeed it appears
to have had a retrospective operation
for he never had it before."
