Biiby eays Mrs. Dewey makes the mistake of thinking herself a heroine because her husband is a hero. Superintendent Andrews ex pects to accept the chancellorship of our state university, but has not yet so notified the regents. W. J. Bryan stampeded the demo cratic convention four years ago, and Dewey thinks it his turn to make a similar performance. It seems the democrats are goirjg to demand three of the seven places on the Ltate ticket, viz: Auditor, attor ney general and lieutenant governor. TheB. & M. band received tweDty five new pieces last Saturday night That lookslike business. The boys are croing to keep on giving something new. "I believe President McKinley ought to have a second term. He has made a good executive, and the coun try should do well by him' Admiral Dewey, October 3, 1899. Senator Allison of Iowa is said to te President McKinley's first choice for a running mate. He has been a national figure for some time and is a man in whom the whole country has confidence. It WOULD be difficult to conceive of a president's prosecuting a war more successfully than has President Mc Kinley. Every week from now until November will find him stronger with the American people. Senator F. M. Prout received the unanimous indorsement of the republi can convention of Gage county for at torney general. He is an able man and will in all probability be nomi nated for that position. There seems to be no disposition among republicans to make Mayor elect Parmele trouble on account of his apparent violation of the election laws. He got the votes and they are perfectly willing for him to have the office. Congressman DaveMekceii would be & vote-getter on account of what he has done. If placed on the ticket with McKinley, Douglas county would give the republican national ticket a vote that would surprise his Lincoln neigh bors. The Journal would have you believe its pet, Matthew Gering, to be a great statesman and Hon. E. J. Burkett an imbecile. It is certainly to be hoped that the people of the First district will have an opportunity to pas9on the relative merits of these gentlemen. Contractor L. G. Larson is put ting' the finishing touches on the new High school building. It is going to be quite a model for convenience acd comfort and, indeed a credit to our city. The dedicatory exercises will likely be held next Monday evening. How AUOUT that large pile of saw dust in front of the ice house on South Seventh street? Would not the owner of that property just as soon have it removed? The suffering public would appreciate a good sidewalk in that vicinity, and then have horses, wagons, ladders and rubbish kept oil of it. A. R. JULIAN of Dawes county is mentioned as a probable candidate for state superintendent on the republican ticket. He was a candidate before the convention two years ago when Prof. J. F. Saylor was nominated. C. F. Beck, present deputy of Superintend ent W. R. Jackson, is the probable candidate on the fusion ticket. The Alabama democratic primaries have been a genuine surprise to the Bryanltes all over the land. Senator Morgan, the leading expansionist of the democratic party, was victorious by a tremendous majority and the nom ination of Stanford, a gold bug, for governor is assured. It is predicted that the state convention will send a delegation to Kansas City opposed to Bryan and the Chicago platform. State Journal. The business manager of the Jour nal was making light of Congressman Burkett Friday and hooting at the Idea of his attempting to explain the Porto Rican tariff bill in his speech be fore the republican congressional con vention. But on being questioned as to the provisions of the bill he had to admit that he had not seen or read it, and, in fact, knew nothing about it. It would be well to ask these fellows who do so much talking against the bill to please explain its character to you. In at least nine cases out of ten you will find them in dense ignorance as to its provisions. Perhaps they will have heard that Bryan is against it, and that it is "bad," but if questioned farther, will have to wilt. Idewevs first lesson in l.ibok POLITICS. Admiral Dewey has been subjected to discipline all his lire, the exacting discipline of the navy, but he has now to learn that there is a worse discip line of politics. Hardly have the preparations fof his reception in Chi cago begun when it is announced that he is expected to choose between union and non-union labor. The unions will blacklist him if he reviews a parade from a grand stand erected by the con tractors with whom they are at logger heads, and demand that be shall de clare for them by insisting on a stand union made. If be were still only a naval officer he could rejoice in his independence and reply to the demand with character istic vigor. But its menace is directed toward quite another person, though his title is retained by c curtesy. "If Admiral Dewey comes to Chicago and ignores union labor," said a spokes man for the Building Trades Council, "the workingmen will be badly dis appointed. He c:iu't afford to review the parade from a nonunion grand stand if he is a candidate for the presi dency." There is the rub which te'.ls of the sacrifice he has made. He has known subordination to a Farragut, but that was subordination to genius and to superior experience in hi pro'ession. What be has to learn is the subordina tion of his every opinion to Tom, Dick and Harry, to this federation, to that society. When he is at the order of political managers he will find that it is considered fatal to offend anybody, and that he must not speak before the public until his words and ideas have been revised by the pen of capital and the pick of labor. This is true, however the present af fair may be afranged. Should he es cape the servitude at one point it will be imposed upon him from another, and it will be impossible to tell from day to day where the next commands will be sprung. Hence, if he thinks that the duties of the president are light, he will notbe long in forming a different idea of the duties of the presi dential candidate which will try his temper to the last notch. It will give him a twinge every time he crooks his stiff knees that office may follow fann ing and he will recognize that all the years that he has spent in the navy would no more than suffice to prepare for the unaccustomed and uncongenial labor. Never did man make a worse exchange. Times-Herald. The News editor failed to hear one expression of doubt at the convention Thursday about the re-election of E. J. Burkett. Republicans seem to be with him to a man. He spoke for about forty minutes ar.d received the closest attention. He spoke in high est terms of the action of congress in passing the Porto Rican tariff bill, and stated that as a matter of sentiment he, with mo:-t of the American people, opposed such action, but under exist ing circumstances, as a matter of busi ness, politic?, justice and right it was wise legislation, and that the people would heartily indorse it when thoroughly understood by them. It seems that on account of severe storms on the island the crops were almost destroyed, hence cannot pay last year's taxes, say nothing of a tax for the sup port of their new government. The question arises whether this country should give them the money, lend it to them, ask them to levy a direct tax or by placing a tariff on sugar, tobacco, etc., and thereby letting the sugar kings and large speculators in tobacco contribute to the support of the gov ernment. It was they, said Mr. Bur kett, who worked 60 indefatigably for free 1r tde with Porto Ri3o. When the democratic governor of Idaho c lhd out tho troops to suppress rioting and destruction of property he gave serious offense to the Sulzers and the Len z a in hia parly. Democratic leaders never were quito agreed upon such questions. It . will be recalled that, upon tho occasion of the Chicago riots, a democratic governor, seeking politic .1 capital, encouraged the dis order and lawlessness, and a demo cratic president sent General Miles and his troops to bring order out of chaos. Inconsistence, incompetency and incompatibility are specialties of the democratic purty. INFORMATION AND OPINION.

The ways and means committee gave a hearing yesterday on the question of reduciu the revenues derived from proprietary medicines, etc., under the war rev enue act of lS'JS. Those heard repre- sented the drug interests, who asked the repeal of the claims requiring a stamp tax upon proprietary articles and preparations, pertumery, cosmet ics, etc. George P. Englehard. of Chi cago, president of the drug association of that city, stated that under the rul ings of the revenue bureau the act was not restricted to patent medicines as originally designed, but to all medi cines save those issued under a physi cian's certificate. Why not, he asked. similarly tax food and clothing, as this was distinctly class legislation. The only medicinal preparations receiving exemption, he stated, was the vast and and increasing product of foreign un- compounded chemicals, mainly from Germany. Statement Promptly Controverted. Grosvenor questioned this statement. poiuting out that if tbe foreign reme dies paid uo internal revenue tax they paid a heavy customs duty, six or eight times greater than the internal tax on domestic products. Chairman Payne also brought out that such American products as were similar to the German would have a like ex emption from the internal tax, al though Euglehard said there were practically none of these. Grosvenor said he was surprised to learn that such common drugs as arnica aud pare goric were taxid as "patent medi cines." that it had never boon the in tention of tho f miners of the law to have it so construed, and that, it should be resisted In the courts. " Complains of Department Store. Ilirzman, of the Now York Phar maceutical association, said the drug trade throughout New York was being greatly depressed by "department stores," which for advertising purposes sold patent medicines at less than cost, and some of them were now putting in regular prescription branches. This was given as an additional reason for relieving the regular trade from the present tax burden. Speaks of the Treasury Surplus. Charles Clark spoke for the manu facturers, lie said some of those pres ent paid $10,000 and $20,000 annually. Much of the tax was on a variety of articles designed for suffering humani ty. Many of the bandages which saved the lives of our soldiers had to boar revenue stamps. With a $82,000,000 surplus the course of tho government in taking $10,000 from a manufacturer and storing it away in the treasury amounted to a confiscation, and Clark protested against such action. Several of the members of the com mittee suggested that if the surplus was cut down other interests, par ticularly the beer interest, would ask that they share in thereduction. Payne stated thar the increase of revenue un der the war revenue act was about $102,000,000, so that if the entire act was wiped out there would be a con siderable deficiency. Boutell favored reduction of the taxation. HOAR OPPOSES "IMPERIALISM." Addresses the Senate for More Than Three Hours on That I'oint. Washington, April 18. For more than three hours yesterday Hoar oc cupied the attention of the senate with a speech in opposition to the polfcy of "imperialism" upon which, he main tained, this government has embarked. As prepared the address was 50,000 words in length, but Hoar omitted much of it owing to an incipient attack of the grip from which he was suffer ing. He spoke for more than three hours, and while it was a tremendous strain on him the more Important pas sagos of the argument were delivered with force and vigor. The speech was brilliantly written, was illuminated with splendid rhetorical figures, and was rich with citations from history. One of the notable parts of tho address was the eulogy of Aguinaldo. Hoar did not liken the insurgent leader to Washington, as has been done here tofore, but to Kossuth, Oom Paul, Joubert, and Nathan Hale. In statecraft he likened Aguinaldo and his associates in the leadership of the Filipinos to the best minds ever produced in the Asiatic race a race which handed down to us "the scrip tures of the Old ami New Testaments, the poetry of David, the eloquence of Isaiah, the wisdom of Solomon and the profound philosophy of Paul." One of the most effective parts of the address was his fancied roll-call of some of the distinguished statesmen of the United States on the question of the retention of the Philippines. He began with George Washington and closed with William McKinley. each in a sentence giving the reason for his vote. Every vote was in the negative except that of Aaron Iiurr, who voted "yes" and explained: "You are re peating mv buccanneering expedition down the Mississijpi. I am to be vin dicated at last." When the name of William McKin ley was called, ho replied: "There has been a cloud before my vision for a moment, but I see clearly now; I go back to what I said two years ago: 'Forcible annexation is criminal ag gression; governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, not of some of them, but of all of them. I will stand with the fathers of the republic I will stand with the founders of the Kepublican party. No." The effect was dramatic as rioar pronounced, ms peroranon; tne still ness in the chamber was Intense. Ap plause swept over the galleries, but it was quickly hushed by the president pro tempore, nis statement of what h would do in the Philippines was practically that he would extend the Monroe doctrine over them.
