Tom Reed's opposition to annexa
tion of Hawaii was not endorsed by
his district convention. There are
times when a man has outgrown his
surroundings that a sort of shrinking
process is a good thing. Tom needed
a slight diminution in his opinion of
the infallibility of Mr. Reed, and he
got it.

Peter Jansen for governor, creating a
tiresome feeling among its readers. If
Janesen evr did anything beside run
for an office we haven't heard of it.
Nebraska has pienty of more suitable
men to select from than Jansen, and
no time should be wasted on that class
of candidates.
The Nebraska City News says edi
torially: "With an abundance of la
bor to perform there is no one to hire.
With an abundance of peopie wanting
money the banks hold millions of idle
capital. With a powerful nation, ca
pable of creating its own money, it
goes to ruin ror want of it." Wnat a
patriot (?) to pick flaws and preach
dissatisfaction without offering &
remedy. If there are so many people
wanting money, and there is an abund
ance of labor tj be performed, it is
very evident that those wdo want
the money prefer te steal it rather
than work for it, or tramp around and
exist without work. A powerful Na
tion has never yet been of sufficient
power to create values, or make some
thing out of nothing. If the power
to make money in any quantity exist
ed, tben it would be criminal to allow
any paupers to exist. They should all
be made rich every Saturday night
by the government paymasters who
are to be the agents of the creator of
all wealth. Our neighbor is either
very bilious, or else it is drifting into
socialism.
THE RICHEST NATION
Mr. Michael G. Mulball, the noted
English statistician, is clearly of the
opinion that no other nation compares
with ouas in all the essential elements
that go to make up aggregate wealth.
He also notes the fact that while the
most European countries ha ve attained
their growth, the United States is ap
parently on the threshold of an indus
trial development which it has never
dreamed of before.

These computations arobisod upon
values as shown by real estate records,
buildings, merchandise and railways
as well as the circulating medium in
each nation. As will be seen, our
wealth is more than seven times great
er than that of Spain, double that o.?
Germany, two and a half times greator
than Russia, nearly twice that of
France, equal to the combined wealth

Emperor William, of Germany, who
talks too much for what he hits to say
has been nicknamed "Billy the sud

It wouldn't be fair to send the
cruiser "Yankee" with Watson to
Spain. Their ideas of the Yankees
have already undergone several
changes.
Roosevelts rough rides don't seem
to be doing much riding, but they
fight like a stack of wild cats and give
the Spaniards a definition of what a
rough house is like.
Sagasta remarks that the 100,000
Spanish troops in Cuba will never
surrender. But there aro 10,000,000
Americans of fighting ago who say
they will have to. Tho result is not
hard to gues?,
It was Admiral Cerwra who made
a grandiloquent speech to his seamen
before starting for western waters to
annihilate the American 11 iet and lay
waste the coast of New England. The
poor old man must feel bitterly humil
iated now. He has no mote orations
to make. He appears to be a superior
sort of Spaniard. He is not entirely
selfish, but devotes some thought to
his men. Ex.
Just a little while ago the Spanish
ship Vizcaya visited these shores. It
was at the time of the excitement over
the Maine disaster. Captain Eulate
spent several days at New York, and
then went away and told the Spaniards
that there was no discipline on board
American war vessels, and that we
didn't know anything about naviga
tion or the management of guns. Now
the captain's ship lies on a junk heap
and tho captain himself is a prisoner.
He might be persuaded, while on board
an American vessel, to give us a few
pointers on the management of guns.
Ex.
The Krag-Jorgensen seems to have
come to stay. Its. terrible power of
destruction were amply revealed in
the fighting of Friday and Saturday.
And it was noteworthy that our Sec
ond regiment had hardly begun firing
Wednesday afternoon before it was
ordered to stop, the smoke from the
Sgriuefield rifies making too good' a
target for the enemy. The Spring
field was a great gun in its. time, and
soldiers who have used it part from it
with regret, but its day is past. The
sooner it is replaced everywhere by
the new magazine rifles the better.

EXPOSITION NOTE
From the Bee.
A temporary stoppage in the sewer
near the Press buildiDg daring the
rain -Wednesday afternoon caused the
entire street to be covered with water
to a depth of a foot or more and people
bound to or from the north tract were
obliged to wade through this water.
Many men and women attempted the
feat, wading through the water and
creating all kinds of fun for the on
lookers in the adjoining buildings.
Several camera fiends seized the op
portunity for catching snap shots and
the bad humor of the waders was
greatly augmented by the knowledge
that they were being put on record in
their ridiculous plight.
Commissioner Lesson of New Mexico
