Owing to the change in the manage ment of The News it is desired that all money due on subscription or other accounts be paid ns soon aa possible. All accounts are payable to either C. S. Polk or J. E. Marshall. THE Cubans and Spaniards of Ha vana are loath to part without taking one final punch at each other. The criminal columns of the papers make us hope that 1899 will not Have such a murderous finish a 1898. The war up to the close of the year will cost $250,000,000, a sum that Spain might have peacefully secured for Cuba. What the folly of going to war has cost Spain would be hard to com pute. It would seem that General Brooke had made a grave mistake in issuing an order that the Cubans will not be permitted to participate in the evacua tion day ceremonies. To be sure they are of an unruly nature, but it was for their freedom that the war was car ried on, and to deny them this pleas ure would make them still worse. THE latest thing in labor circles is the organization of the hired girls' union in New York. This is a trouble the poor, down-trodden housekeeper was not looking, for. Speaking of the new organization an exchange says: "But the hired girls' union, with its flat-Iron rules for the regulation of the house-wife and for the use of the front parlor, overshadows all thes. diabolical assaults upon the happiness of mankind. This is an octopus by the side of which every trust is a shrinking, docile, p- a-green turtle, with a knot in its tail." Sea power it the mort potential of nil powers, as Capt. Mahan has pointe out with a pr cisic and a onvincing nefsi that leaves no 'iog ti ho said. Sea power does iit c nsi-it alone in a navy Capt. Mahan makes that clear over and over ng;iiu hut the merch ant marine is an ets-'iial and invilu ab e f ict r in 'be creation and main tenance ' Bea p r. We have a r-avy, wt h a ylor u record, eveu il nut iumi-ricaJy gro it As it grows, iiotrtvt!, w. shall -e -eriously embar r.tt. ed f w do not p altet its growth with that of un American-built. American-owned, American-manned merchant marine. THE HAVANA DISTURBANCES. lhe disturbances that are taking place at Havana must convince every body that our government would have made the gravest possib'e mistake had it followed the consul of those who opposed our military occupation of Cuba and permitted the Cubans to undertake by them9el ve, after the Spanish evncuutioa, to establish an in dependent government, says the Omaha Bee. It is perfectly obvious now what would be the result of turn ing the island over to the people un der existing conditions. Murder and pillage wojld spread thro-ighout the island and an innailely wre state of affairs would ensue than existed when the war was declared. If the appeal of the American authorities to the people and the presence of American power does not secure order, what would happen were they absent? There would be a civil conflict marked by outrages that would shock the civilized world. It will be surprising, notwithstand ing the precautions which have been taken by the American military authorities, if there are not more seri ous outbreaks during the next few days than have yet taken place. Hatred and the spirit of revenge ap pear to abound everywhere. It is posj 6ible that the work of pacification may proceed rapidly after the United States takes full control and its author ity can be vigoriously and sternly exer cised, but there is reason to appre hend that the task of getting the Cuban people into ondition for self government will not be an easy one. BALANCE ON OUR TRADE LEDGER. We cannot tell just how much we have sold to Europe and the countries across the sea until the reports for De cember ar all in, but whe i the red lines are drawn under the ye ir's busi ness the ledger will show a tremen dous trade balance in our favor, says The Times-Herald. Figures that meHSU'e the volume of trade for a year have little significance to the ge eral public, but when the secretary of the treasury informs us that ''in a general way it may be t-aid th t the exiorts of the year will be the laigest in our history and the im ports the smallest since 1885," the aver-ge Ame. ican prick- up his ears and begins ;to detect within himself the swelling emotions of pride. With the average American it is a qu- ion ol winning the race for commercial supremacy. His exulta tion is in the thought of cor qnest and advartsge, not in th rum hi r of the doll'ira, f' vho i iul. ; concept on of a billion do i i i is. to t-ay Hie loot, rather v ig'in . in adequni Figures a o 1 q e t only Ih compi i- n-i. It is eou or thu. man who dues not live in n uank or run a great commercial enterprise to know that our exports for 1808 may be et down at 1,1 25, 000,000 in value, while our imports for the year are valued at only $635,000,000, leaving a net trade balance in our favor of $615, 000,000. In other words, we sold the people of Europe, Asia, Africa, Mexico, South America and other countries nearly twice as much as we purchased from them. This means heavy importa tions of gold, which has been finding its way into the pockets of the far mers, manufacturers and merchants. This mennj that the wail of the calamity howler is drowned in the hum of industry, and that tho new year will cover with mountains of prosperity the graves of populism and discontent. INFORMATION AND OPINION. The annual meeting of the Ne braska State Historical Society for 1899 will be held at the chapel of the State University on the evenings of January 10 and 11, at 7:4) o'clock. An interesting program has been prepared. Much to his own delight, Senator Cullom's resemblance to Lincoln grow more pronounced as the years roll on. Men who knew the great liberator during the later ysars of his life say Mr. Cullom is his living counterpart. He has been in public life over a quar ter of a century. It is rumored in Washington that our new ambassador to Great Britain will be instructed to do what he can towards securing the release of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, and her lriends hope that, while ail such efforts have heretofore failed, a pardon may now be secured because of the increased cordiality of feeling between the two countries. A well-defined instance of death from grief is that of Mrs. Paul Rich ason of Wabash, Ind., widow of a former conductor on the Wabash rail rond. A few months ago Conductor Richason felt from the cupola of Ii8 caboose and was so 'ndiy t un th.tt survived but a short time. 11 i ;i..U his wife were dt;vot6lly attac. 1 to each other, and she was iilrr.o t .iUJ when the hody was br u.

These nails had, with other refuse, been dumped into the pen from the black smith shop and swallowed a- few at a time as tho porker bolted its food The walls of the stomach were not punctured or lacerated. How the animal managed to live puzzles vet erinarians. Glen Eyre, a village on the Hones dale branch of the Erie railroad in New York, has been sold at auction on a mortgage foreclosure. The laiid on which U o vl'.lr;.. e stood, comprising S42 acre?, ws UiOrtgnged by John Deeming an his wire for $6,000, when they were un.ibie lo pay the interest foreclosure p"0"ceiliags were begun. The village conFifd of a dozen bnuorg, raLio.id station, postoffice, barns, s'orcs, storehouse, factory building, stone yard, sawmill, black smith shop, etc. On the day set for the sale a goodly crowd of people col lected, and there was spirited bidding, which resulted in the village being knocked down to Mrs. Mary T. Car penter, of Searsdale, N. Y., for $7,600. By this action Mr. Carpenter becomes the owner of a village, although she is not a voter and has no voice in its control. The Best and Cheapest. The New York Independent, the leading weekly newspaper of the w6rld, and one whose pages exercise the widest influence, is entering upon its fiftieth year of publication. The Independent emphasizes its fiftieth year by changing its form to that of a magazine, and by reducing its annual subscription price from $3 to $2;single copies from 10 to 5 cents. The Inde pendent in its new form will print 3,640 pages of reading matter per year at a cost to subscribers of $2, while the prominent magazines, which sell for $4 a year, print only abou 2.000 pages. The subscriber to the Inde pendent gets 82 per cent more of equally good reading m.iter atone half the cogtl It is not only the le d ing family x eny newspaper but by far the c ems n best.

December 28. was united in marriage to Miss May Mitchell, an estimable young lady of that place. Mr. Williams will re turn to Elmwood tomorrow, ac companisd by his bride, when they will take up their residence on the Clapp farm, about two miles northeas of F.lmwood. The Leader-Echo ex tends the usual congratulations. Frank Clark, of the hardware firm of Clark & Voorhees, quietly slipped off to Pella, la., last Saturday, pre sumably to spend Christmas, bu in reality to enter into a state of "blessed doubleness."

Mrs. Rosser, who has just committed aicide with her husband, the FrencL yclist, in Melbourne, prepared herself .'or the great e.vent as carefully as if she had been dressing for a ball. She put on her most effective dress, elabo rately curled and dressed her hair, ar ranged herself upon the bed In a grace ful pose, and died with her face set In a pleasant smile. The writer knows of another similar Instance, but the woman in the latter case hanged her self in evening dress, with all her Jew elry on and a touch of carmine on her Hps. The average man's vanity is not small, but it is a poor passion beside that of the average woman, who would always rather look wll than be well. Sydney Bulletin. Free Homes In Western Florida.

The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de Cuba Were All Heroes Their Heroic Efforts In Getting Ammunition and Rations To the Front Saved the Day. P.E.Butler, of pack-t-nin No. S, writing from Santiago do ubu, on July 23, says: '"We all hnd diarrhoea in more less violent form, and when we landed we ha l no time to neo a doctor, for it was a e iso of rush and rush night and day to kenp t tie troops supplied with a man i I ion :unl r.ition, but thanks to Ch.-unberl. tin's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoe-t It-nn-dy, wc were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, I frincerl.v boliovo that at one critical timo this medicine was the indirect savior of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to i lie front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself hud tho good fortune to lay in a sup ply of this medicine for our pack-train before wo left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life." Tho above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, the Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moins, Iowa. For sale by all druggists. WAS A VERY INTERESTING CLOSE. Hoys' History Class Hold a Most Inter, esting Meeting. The Boys' History class ("The Seniors") with their girl friends "made merry" the closing hours of the old year at the residence of Mr. Windham Saturday evening. For the third time in the history of the Boy 8' club have they been welcomed in this hospitable home, and the mem bars are coming to anticipate a meet ing there and a greeting from Mr. Windham as a part of their annual program. Each member invited one guest, and this brought about sixty boys and girls out, and they enjoyed the evening as only young folks can. There was an "art room" for the girls, where all tho artists we e blindfolded, and each one sketched an ideal oig. In an adjoin ing room the boys showed equally as much talent as the giri, and not ; atLle merriment was occasioned whe the drawings were exchantr- d. It n is been decided i o"- to frame these p c tures for the puolic school. Ofcurse ih'-re was the ben-i j r. and the gu s-ing" iva acti ve.

The Peterson sisters, without previous notice, sing a p etty little song and then Claire Dovey played a march, which brought the guest3 into line and somehow they brought up in the dining room where refreshments were served. And most generously was each guest remembered with cake, candies, fruit and lemonade. It was after 10 o'clock when they returned to the parlors where a social half hour was spent and then the good nights were Baid to Mr. Wind ham and his family who had given them such a delightful time.
