Anothek oue of those calamity abolishing rains fell last night and this morning and now the pessimistic howlers are sad.

One more ruin like the one of last week and it will be next to impossible to get enough men to take care of the Nebraska corn crop.

MkI BRYAN, says the St. Paul Dis patch, ought to get om-i consolation out of the thought th t if this country is wrecked on the roi-fc of imperialism it will save it from gong to smash on the gold standard. IN 1S92, the big year of American foreign trade, the tirat billion-dollar year of tun -emn try's history, the value of manufactured exports was $158,5:0,937; the year ending June 30 their value was $338,607,794. Says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "Democrats must not forget that Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the De claration of Independence, annexed the Louisiana purchase without giving the slightest attention to the consent of the governed."

The interview with Mr. II. II. llanna, chairman of the Indianapolis monetary convention, expressing ap proval of the plans for currency legis lation already agreed upon by the caucus committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate, fur nishes gratifying assurance that the currency bill that will be presented to the fifty-sixth congress will unquali fiedly recognize gold as the fixed monetary standard of the country,says the Chicago Times-Herald. Having been J.n.S9n3u!taV3u '.Titatn'e.'members oi the senate fiaance committee at their recent meeting at Narrapansett Pier, Mr. Hanna is in a position to speak authoritatively regarding the prospects for financial legislation That he was invited to tta council of the committee will doubtless surprise the party trimmers, who have always opposed the scheme of currency re form proposed by the Indianapo'.i monetary convention. But the po litical trimmers on the currency ques tion have had their day. The time for evasion and equivocation is past. The gold standard party must take counsel of such men as Mr. Hanna, who stands for honest currency reform and who represents the intelligent business interests of this country. . The party in power has been pre vented by a silver majority in the sen ate from redeeming its promises made at St. Louis, to give the gold standard "the validity and vitality of law." With a sound money majority in both houses of the fifty-tlxth congress there is every reason to expect tKe enact ment of a law "coasistsrt in abroad and courageous way with the pledge offered the people in the money plack of the St. Louis platform." PHILIPPINES AND THE REPUBLICANS Sod at or Burrows of Michigan, who is an anti-expansion ffet,saya that if the end of the Philippine war is not in sight next year "the situation will be to the disadvantage of the republican party." There is a very strong prob ability that the war will be ended be fore the national conventions, early next summer, meet. The increase under way, however, when the next 1 national conventions meet this condi tion would not necessarily injure the republicans. It would simply provoke an inquiry as to who was responsible for the war in the first place, and that would exonerate the republican party. The men who wanted the treaty de feateflrand who voted against it when it came up in the senate are among the person who are responsible for the war. All of ' those except an in significant fraction are democrats. '.A'-l large share of the responsibility for the war also belongs to the men who opposed the bill for the creation of an army of 100,000 men. These too, were almost all democrats. Here are some facts which will come out in a very impressive way next sum mer if the war in the Philippines should be still in progress at that time. These facts will be destructive to tie democratic party. Many men were declaiming from the beginning of the war against all purpose to obtain any territory fr5m Spain. These men would have given up even Porto Rico. They would give it up now, notwith standing its cession by the treaty, if they could bring this about. All these persons are democrats. The Bryans, Gormans, Vesta, Cockrells, Stones and the rest of the men who which is being made in the army points in that direction. The trouble heretofore has been that Otis did not have enough men to garrison the towns which were captured. This drawback will not exist when the cam paign next fall opens, says the Globe Democrat. Even if the war should chance to be have been howling against expansion and all of those who were in congress voted against all measures calculated to strengthen the hands of the govern ment in the war are the persons who responsible for the conflict, and they. with a few trifling exceptions, are i democrats. It is reasonably certain j that American sovereignty will be ac-. knowledged throughout the whole of I WHY NOT HOLD The Time Is Ripe For the People of Platts mouth To Wake Up. t t t IE t & fc t t r- c There can be ne good reason offered why Platts mouth should not hold a Street Fair this fall. Other towns, not so large-as Plattsmouth, have conducted such enterprises with great success. It is an entirely new idea for this part of the state and this fact would insure largfe crowds. The agricultural exhibits, with the mam moth crops that are now growing, could be the finest in the history of Cass county. A number of merchants of the city have expressed their willingness to contribute from $50 to $100 toward the enterprise and if all of them would take hold of the project, it would be an easy matter to raise SI, 000 or SI, 200, which would be an ample sum to provide suitable amusements, music, etc. It would be a lasting adver tisement for the city and even if the merchants did not get their money back at the time, it would only be a short time until they would. Hastings and Lincoln are the only cities in the state which at present have such plans on foot. The former city raised $1,"400 in a half day. Is there any reason why Plattsmouth cannot do as well By securing reduced railroad ra-tes, large crowds could be attracted from every town in the county and also from neighboring towns in Mills county, Ia.

INFORMATION &f OPINION. The Mutual Life Insurance company of New York has instituted proceed ings against Thomas Chase and wife of Milligan, Tenn., in wlich it alleges that Chase, who is supposed to have died In February, is not dead, and that $20,000 collected by the supposed widow was fraudulently paid. Tbe bill enjoins four baiks. In which the money is deposited, from paying it to Mrs. Chase's order. An order has also been secured allowing the grave in which Chise is supposed to have been buried to bo searched. Three hundred years ago, in Eng land, it was customary to add beer to mortar to produce the required con sistency. It was asserted that tbe beer rendered the mortar more durable than if it were made with water. I', is certain that the workmen oft i tasted the beer, perhaps to convince themselves that it was of the proper strength and flavor.

Cornish, Manx and the old mys terious Romany tongue are also exam ples which should be mentioned in this connection. . . An offer of ship brokers to buy the cruiser.

The eagle, as an emblem of author ity, is so old that it would be impos sible to clearly trace its origin. It is found upon the most ancient sculptures that have yet been discovered, and was no doubt one of the very oldest of the totems, or tribe signs. The early Persian empire appears to be the first which adopted it as an imperial em blem. Among the Greeks the eagle was the emblem of Jove. The Romans also adopted the eagle as their stand ard, and so it became the token of Roman dominion. When Constantino became emperor he adopted the double beaded eagle as the insignia of his authority over east and west, When the German empire came into being in the twelfth century this em- ft STREET FAIR?

Some India rubber balls had rolled into the water, and to get them the constable paddled out in a punt This drew the notice of tbe male swan, which deserted his consort and the brood of cygnet, and went for the con stable with great fury. Once or twice he almost upset the punt by causing the constable to overbalance it in sav ing his legs from the bird's beak. It was only with difficulty end risk that the balls were recovered. The swan then followed the punt to the bank, makiog vicious darts at the constable. One of the mcst remarkable things on the North Pacific coast is the large number of ha'ibut in Alaskan waters.

Havana, Aug. 4. General Juan Isidro Jimincz, when his attention was called today to a cable summary of an alleged declaration made by him here recently and published in tbe United States to the effect that he was about to proceed to the United States to organize an expedition against the existing government of San Domingo, replied that ho had not made the statement attributed to him. He went on to say that it was quite unneces sary to proclaim himself hostile to the present government, as it could not possibly last beyond August 15. "I did hear," he continued, "that Heureaux was sending men to Cuba to kill me, but I know nothing what ever regarding the plot to kill him. I had no connection and have no con nection with Ramon Caceras, who did the shooting. I do not believe that the United States will interfere with my government in San Domingo, which will be a government peaceful and helpful to all, for the United States did not interfere with the gov ernment of Heureaux, who robbed and murdered for fourteen years." Leader Is Sore ef Welcome. General Jiminez admits that he has often been to the United States in cognito, but says he has not had in terviews with official persons. He considers that there is no need of promoting expeditions to land in San D miogo, as there already are 1,000 men waiting for him, a force which he deems quite sufficient for his pur poses. Referring to the future relations of San Domingo with the United States he expressed a desire to be on friendly terms with Washingtonvand said he could count on American sympathy. Gomez, he referred to as "esteemed by all classes of Dominicans, but not sought for as president." The people of San Domingo, he de clared, are impetuous and are urging him to come to thorn at once, but for a time he prefers delay, "as each day Is worth a battle won." GOATS ARE SOLD AS MUTTON. Thousands of AaKra Are Pieced Upon Markets of Chicago. CllICAOO, Aug. 4. The Daily News Bays: Thousands of goats are brought, slaughtered and placed upon the mar kets of Chicago and sold as mutton by some packers at the stockyards. This traffic is carried on most extensively during the winter and early spring up to and including the month of April. The goats and kids are of the Angora kind and come from the northwest, while a few are shipped in from the south. The latter are of the common goat species and do not find as ready a sale as the Angoras. Besides being very palatable as a food, the Angora goat and kid are used for other purposes. The skins of the goats are usod for making floor mats and robes for babies, while the skin of the kid is used in trimming furs. Dr. W. S. Devoe of the Bureau of Animal Industry, when asked today in regard to goats being sold for mutton, said: "They certainly are quite free from disease, are fat and make ex cellent eating. Of course the very common 'billy' goat would have a ten dency to bo strong and have a bad odor. There is no law to prevent them being sold and when we find them in tho packing houses they are inspected the same as any other carcass." The records of the yards show that some weeks as high as 8,000 goats have been received. Washington, Aug. 4. Referring to the reports that goat meat is being sold in some of the western cities as mutton. Dr. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, said today that the law provided only for the in spection of cattle, sheep and hogs and that nothing Bhort of congressional ac tion would remedy the defect. Dr. Salmon said, however, that he did not anticipate much danger from the use of goat meat, as goats were generally healthy animals. Last Honors For Hawkins. San Francisco, Aug. 4.

Erery Woman Who Could Ought tm Have a Check Book. A business woman, whose experience has been long and successful, said to me the other day: "If I were asked to give the best advice I could think of for young women who are earning their awn living, or who have the cares and expenses of a household to look after, and if I had to confine my self to Just four words, I should say, 'Start a bank account.' It is an easy matter to do so nowadays, when both the saving's banks and others offer women every opportunity and Induce ment. Beaides, it is a good thing to do for several reasons. It fosters a feeling ef Independence and develops buatneM-ltke habits, two essentials for ev business) woman. Then, too, it is a convenient and desirable thing to pay bills by means of checks where it U possible to do so. It preserves a rec ord of the transaction and frequently prevents annoyances and mistakes.
