AT last The State Journal comes
out clearly aainst Thompson for sena
tor by puh!ihin a picture of his face.
N believ r in physiognomy could vote
for him after seeing that.
The Washington correspondent of
th..- State Journal brings out eom in
teresting f icts, throwinglight on the
Miles-Eagan affair. Mirny today would
rather be in the shoes of Genernl
Higan than of General Miles. Prob
al ly many more wi;l be ot that mind
before tho pffair ends.
The gi avity of the Eagan caEe at
present lies in the fact that if the
court martial finds General Eagan
guilty he must be dismissed from the
army unless axecutive clemency
should intervene and one cannot well
see how he can be acquitted. Should
the verdict go against him, it is to be
hoped, in view of extenuating circum
stances, that President McKinley will
interpose. And then the open mouth
course of General Miles should receive
attention.
Tiik announcement that Joseph
II. Choate of the New York bar is to
go to London in place of Ambassador
Hay, now secretary of 9tate, will
now gratify all true Americans. At
the present time, as never before, our
diplomatic service needs to be well
manned, especially in all leading posi
tions. Mr. Choate is a leader of the
New York bar. and a near relative of
Kufus Choate, at one time leader of
the Boston bar. He will honor the
country which has honored him.
The protracted contests of the dif
ferent state legislatures over the elec
tion of United States senators lends
moral support to the measure intro
duced into that body by Senator
Mitchell of Oregon several years ago,
for the election of senators directly by
the people. The influence of money in
the elections of Nevada, Montana,
NewJersev and sometimes of Cali
fornia, as well as other states, more
especially of late years, has bred a dis
trust and disgust that nothing but
radical measures can remove.
THE loss of the pleasure yacht, Paul
Jones, with all on board, in the Gulf
of Mexico,is one of those events which
bring joy and tears into closest con
tact. Fitted out as a pleasure j-acht
with a pleasure party on board, rep
resenting tho weahh and social posi
tion of four of our largest wester n
cities, it di-appeared without one fare
well word from a soul on board, and
only pieces of wreckage and pitiful
bits of peisonal belongings are lefo to
tell of the end that has thrown so
many households into mourning.
It seems n;w that Sei.ator Foraker
did not aftt-r all speak for the ad
ministration when he proclaimed that
the United States would deal with the
Philippines as with Cuba. Even he
now disclaims with some warmth the
'uferences of the London pipers to
'hat etf ;ct. Weil, the next time Sen
ator Foraker paints a horse and calls
i. by another name, he wi uUl do well
t label it. Nearly everybody iu
America, as well as Londoa, under
stood him to speak for the erovernment
and to those with good memories the
surprise was great.
When the Otoe Indian reservation
lands were offered at public auction
eight or ten years ago there was a
swarm of land speculators to bid them
in, at fancy prices, considerably above
their appraisement, says the Omaha
Bee. '1 he purchase money was placed
to the credit of the Indians and is held
in reserve for them in the United
States treasury. Now the speculators
ask congress to give them relief from
their own recklessness and pay them
back the excess of what they paid over
and above the appraised value of the
lands. This bill has actually passed
j the senate, but it is not likely to pull
through the house. While it may be
the duty of our representatives in con
gress to give Nebraskana all the assist
ance they can to recover legitimate
claims, it is doubtful whether they are
justified from the moral standpoint in
robbing the Indians for the benefit of
speculators. Had these lands been
purchased from a railroad corporation
or a real estate syndicate the pur
chasers would hardly have thought of
such a thing as demanding a part of
their money back on the plea that
they had foolishly outbidden each
other.
AN UH.IKCT I.KSSON.
When tho congress of tho United
Statos unanimously and promptly
pased a bill placing the enormous sum
of fifty milliriMof dollars in tho hands
of tho president of tho United Stitto,
"for national defense," tho patriotic
spirit of tho people rang out in the na
tion strong and true, and from end to
end of our greut country encomiums
upon the stilling of partlsaD spirit was
commended in the pres?, upon tho
platform, and in tho pulpit. Nothing
that tho United Stittes, as a nation,
ever did was more iiupros&ivo eithe r of
the extent of the patriotism, nor the
generosity of an aroused and deter
mined people, than tho passage of
that historic and remarkable act.
Wisely, prudently, and with i careful
regard for tho exgeneies of tho oc
casion, as well as with a due appiecia
tion of the groat und flattering confi
dence thus reposed in him, the presi
dent of the United States has adminis
tered that great trut, and there is
none in tho land who has ever felt like
questioning the di-psition of that vast
sum of mono, but, on the contrary, a
unanimous feeling that, had every
thought that t-nte ed tho prtsitlont'.
mind, every mot ive that inspired every
act that led to it- d siosition, been
written b--id ana 1 rgj beforo the
country, tlio acts would have beep the
6amo, the d snosition of thj fu d no
different than in fuct it was.
For tho national defense for the
welfare of the entire nation it is
essential that conyre-s should in tl e
same spirit now approach the subject
of dealing with tho tevivalof Ameri
can shipping in tho foreign trndc.
This !s not a partiau, nor a parly,
question; it is essentially and wholly a
national question a question of
national and commercial development.
For that reason it is to be hoped that
neither of tho groat parties in con
gress, nor any of their representative?,
will be disposed to attempt to make
party or partisan capital, either for or
against measures offered for the solu
tion of this vexed and complicated
problem. Let the same spirit that ani
mated congress in placing fifty mil
lions of dollars in the president's
hands, for him to dispose of as the de
fense of tho nation required, agtin
animate that body in reviving the
American mercantile marine, for
national defense, and tho future
growth and permanent prosperity of
our shippiog will be definitely as
sured. THE late Nelson Dingley had a mo.e
minute technical knowledge of the
tariff question than any other man who
has served in congress at any time in
the past quarter of a century, with the
exception, perhaps, of William I .
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, who died a
few years ago, says tho Globe-Democrat.
Dingley, however, was a much
broader man than Kelley. He had a
closer acquaintance with polities in
general. He was a greater statesman.
As the head of the ways and means
committee, and thus the leader of the
majority party on the floor of the
house, he had an important influence
on legislation. The tariff act which
bears his name was a leading factor in
the financial rally which has come in
the past two years, though, of course,
. i .i i-i. i i
me placing oi tno goiu standard on a
solid basis, which was also involved in
the republican triumph of 18110, bore a
decisive part in the business improv
ment. In one particular the experi
ence of tho Dingley tariff has been
like that of the Morrill tariff. If the
Spanish war had not occurred the rev
enue under the present act would fully
meet the expenditures of the govern
ment. Had the war of secession been
averted the Morrill tariff, which wa
passed just before the war began,
wonld undoubted v have furnished
abundant revenue.
SHIPS, nowadays, are made of steel;
fteel is made of iron o-e and coke and
limestont ; a'l of these things exist in
great natural abundance in this
count! y, we have a surplus of people
eager to mine and quarry the essential
materials; wo have tho finost skilled
labar in the world capable of turning
it into steel, and i f turning the steel
into ship?; we have the money -n
abund snce with which to run the
ships, and we have a great foreign
tr;ide worth nearly two bi lion of dol
lars annually to carry what, then, i-
there to stop us from doing our own
own carrying once we begin? We
shall not be able to hesrin, however.
until congress s iys the word.
THE times are particularly auspic
ious for a large increase in the op
portunities for trtde for American
ships in the West Indies, Central a? d
South America. A man with half an
eye could eee tnat; ami the con
templation of it ought not to be con
fined to the people of the North. The
lesson ought to be lejrnel in the
South as well.

SOMETHING more than Jive years
ago, through a circular signed by
clergymen of all the denominations
and leading citizens, this club was
started for the purpose as stated In the
circular: "To take boys off the street
at night: to givo them as far as prac
ticable a physical, manual and moral
training; to teach them industry and
thrift; to help them find employment;
to find homes for those who are or
phans and friendless." The first four
propositions have been faithfully car
ried out. There has never been need
of tho club taking upon itself the fifth
proposition the charity phase of the
work.
The work of the Bunker Hill Boys'
club is to make life pleasant and
profitable to this class of boys who are
known as the "neglected boy, "tho boy
without occupation or restraining in
fluence of i-choo'; the boy who roams
tho street from erly morning till In te
at. night, gathering from saloon nnd
wharf nothing but hith on which to
feed his ardent nature. And this club
is doing a work for these "men of to
morrow" that shall ttand for all time.
If a boy desires to become a member
f this club he applies for a ticK t.
hich i- forfeited for misbehavior
rily M- mbership entitles him to the
use of the library, gamo room, reading
room and gymnasium. Wo line is
drawn as to r oe, creed or condition.
Ary b y eight to sixteen 3 ears of age
is tliyible for membership. There is
no pre)vision for religions teaching.
not from any aversion on the part of
the management to instruction in mat
ters religious, but with tho object of
avoiding contention by members of
various denominations and creeds as
te the methods or object. The direc
tor in bis fifth annu.il report says:
"We do teach a boy, however, to be
maniy and honest. Wo take every
opportunity to sho.v him that a good
boy is worth more than a bad one,
hotn to himself and to society, and
thru right living and abstention from
evil practices plrces hiin on a higher
plane in the estimation ef tho world."
The enrolled membe-bhip of this
club is lo.i, and average daily attend
ance 4o. There, is a printing class,
which meets two evening each week.
A carpentry eiass which has an able
instructor, four hours each week. The
members of tins class are very pro
ficient in the use of tools, and each
completed a twenty-inch sloop rigged
yacht f latest model during the past
year. These yachts were exhibited in
Boslexi in June, and attracted much
attention. There is a game room
which has been a resort of pleasure to
hundreds of boys, but the gymnasium
has proved its drawing power, and
many boys have enjoyed tho aerial
ladder, the tumbling mats and the
striking bag.
This organization is self-governing.
The eHicers of the club, namely, presi
dent, vice president, attorney-genera),
financial secretary, and twelve judges
are chosen by the boys from among
their own ranks. The ansual election
in November, with its preceeding
caucuses, is a time of great excite
ment. This mode of government has
proven itelf to be very efficient, the
court often imposing severe sentences
on tho young offenders.
From the fifth annual report of this
club we cepy the following memoriam
a tribute to one whom mary Platts
mouth people remember, Mr, Thomas
Doane:
"The passing from earth of Mr.
Doane took from the Bunker Hill
Boys' club an active worker, a staunch
supporter and a warm friend. Since
its organization he was auditor of the
club's accounts, and his faithful atten
tion to even the minute-t details of his
po-ition was an inspiration to all other
officers to like effort. His broad
philanthropic spirit, pract.cal mind
and generous heart responded to every
call, and in fact, were so often volun
tarily given to the service of the club
as to place the management under
continual obligation to him "

club was recently received in this city:
Boston. Mass.. Jan. 10, 1S!9. Robert H.
White, Secretary of the Boys' History Class,
I'lattsmouth, Neb. Dear Sir: Your letter to me
conveying as it does the good will of the organiza
tion which you represeut, came duly to hand,
and allow rue to express to you as best I may my
sincere thanks and appreciation of the same. It
is indeed gratifying to know that our work meets
with your approval. Of course all organizations
depending on popular subscription for their sup
port keep one constantly on the alert, and such
encouraging letters from co-workers serve to spur
one on to better things. I have at present 17
boys on the list ol active member'--, and the
average attendance is about 125.
The aiui of the club is to keep the bovs otl the
treet, aud eventually to make them become
better morally, mentally and physically. This
is a great undertaking as, of course, you are
aware, i ne uoys send grueling 10 uic memuers

thank you very much for your thoulittul-ne-is.

Electric Bitter.
Electric Bitters is a medicine 6uited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
erally needed when the languid, ex
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is tornid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic and alterative is felt
A prompt use of this medicine has
often abated long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the eystem from the malar.'al
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
stipation, Dizziness, yield to Electric
Bitters. Fifty cents and $1 bottles at
