F.iitr at ttitr postolllce at I'lattsmouth, Ne braska, ah Hccoridclass matter. Now y mi know what "tarill revision by Its friemls" means. Kvkn a message from I lie President couldn't side-track tlie Aldrieh hill. Tiik democrats in the lifty-seventh congress fought consistently for tarilT revision and anti-trust legislation. IlKi'i'i'-LieANS and deinocraLs are unanimous in acknowledging that the retirement of Senator Vest is a loss to the senate. Tiik statehood hlnckadc has done its duty in blockading most of the legisla tion which could have best served the interests of the jx-nple. Ilv its established record in the mat ter of anti-trust legislation, the tifty seventh congress, now passed into history, lias proved that the interests of monoly are absolutely safe in re publican hands. Tiik associate press (controlled by the republican party) is now busily en aed in the attempt to kill of the iMtom of Jiid'e Parker for president by continually associating the name of David II. Hill with that of the coining candidate. IJut it won't work. Pkksiok.nt Kooskyki.t's call for an extra session of the senate of the tifty eihth congress was made necessary by the failure of the republican majority to dispose of the most important meas ures that came before the lifty-seventh congress, which passed out of exitence yesterday. Dklawakk's legislative deadlock is broken at last, and the state will have a full representation in the senate of the United States for the first time in four years. At a special session of the legislature .1. Frank Alee, an Ad dicks republican, and Congressman Pall, a regular republican, were elect ed to the senatorships. C. A. Snow & Co., patent lawyers in Washington, report a recent decision of the latent Oilice adverse to the multi-millionaire inventor, Cornelius Vanderbilt. Mr. Yanderbilt desired to broaden his application for a car ap pliance after an interference had been declared. This was refused by the ex aminer and the refusal was sustained by the Commissioner of Patents. Tiik republicans in the senate have twice voted down the Littletield anti trust bill which was reiorted by no less able a republican than Senator Hoar. Their excuse is that no time remained for the consideration of such important leislatation at this session. And yet they have insisted on passing the Aldrieh bill, a far more complicated measure, at the eleventh hour and practically without debate. With the expiration of the term of the the lifty-seventh congress this weelc a mighty nl friend of the trusts has passed out of existence. The mourn ing of monopoly should he deep and genuine. Unless all signs fail, it will not be so easy in the future to prevent legislation for the public welfare and tosubstitnte service to the trusts in stead. Although the tifty-eighth con gress is republican, the high-water mark of subservience to trust dictation was probably reached by its imme diate predecessor. Statistics from the U. S. census reports, says W. II. Cihent in his book, "Our Denevolent Feudalism," show that in the whole country, tenants operated i.5 per cent, of all farms in 1S80; 2X.4 per cent, in lsiH), and 1.3 per cent, in l'.ioo. In our own state he shows that in 10 IS percent, of Ne braska farms w ere operated by tenants; 24.7 in l!M), and .";.; in I'.). What have the farming population been do ingwith their share of the prosperity we have been credited w ith in the past six years? The fact of the matter is tliis cry of "prosperity" we have heard so much about is all buncombe of the worst kind, and the reports all confirm this fact. Representative-elect Hearst says: "I doubt if the country knows there has been any trust legislation at this session of Congress. Congress has legislated all round in the vicinity of trusts. The situation is like a fellow winking at a girl in the dark. He may know he is winking, but nobody else does." THE OLD RELIABLE Absolutely: Furo TlllTllS K3 SUBSTITUTE "When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn, is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work tho'.igh no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Kmul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treatment. We will send you the penny, . e., a sample free. Be sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of KmuiMOD you buy. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl St., N. Y. 50c.andf1.oo; all druggists. A Dastardly Outrage. The most dastardly and outrageous proceedings that ever took place in the halls of congress was the manner in which James J. ltutler.of the Twelfth congressional district of Missouri was ousted on the 2."th ult. Nothing to compare with it has occurred since the days of reconstruction and previously thereto, when such high-handed out rages were of weekly occurrence. The republicans bya rising vote, passed the resolution ousting Mr. liutlerand seat ing (leorge C. Wagoner, an obscure ward heeler of St. Louis, who knows as well as he knows he is alive, he was not entitled to the emoluments of a seat in that lody, for which place he was de feated by more than ,ooo votes. The expeditious manner in which this was done is w ithout precedent. The democrats made a strong tight for the observance of parliament a ry de cency in such an important matter as this one, effecting, as it did, the mem bership of thehou.se, but without avail. While the democrats were interposing every possible obstruction, the majori ty were greasing the boards. When all was ready Butler was shot out as if on a toboggan. .Never before was a member ejected with such scant courtesy. There was no record vote, and hardly time for stating the uuestion, when Wagoner, who was in waiting, was escorted to the Speaker's desk and sworn in as a member of the fifty-seventh congress. Seats have been declared vacant and members ejected before this, but never in such a manner as this. Hon. I). A. DeArmond, a member from Missouri, sizes the transaction up about right, and poured the hot shot into the republican members of that body, as they justly deserved. Among other things Mr. DeArmond said, he let go the following: "In all such proceedings, not only in the United States Congress, but the wide world over in history of elect ion contests no other case so base, so low, so mean, showing such utter want of decency and all pretense of right, so thoroughly colorless of anything ex cept iniquity and wrong can be found: nothing in baseness and hypocrisy, nothing in meanness and deceit, noth ing in bitter partisanship and cant, to match or to be compared with this case. "Take the seat if you choose to take it; steal it if you choose to steal it. Rob the man who was elected if you choose to rob him. Throw upon the people of that district who twice have returned Mr. Ilutler to congress the representation of a man they have re pudiated. Hring this man in here, as sociate with hini upon terms of equal ity for the remaining days of this ses sion. Welcome him to your bosom as a man not at all entitled to the seat, but a man fully entitled to political fellowship with those who would steal it for him the recipient of stolen goods placed upon a precise par with those who stole the goods." President Roosevelt has been recent ly the subject of captious criticism on the ground of hisalleged extravagance, liut whose business is it if the presi dent wishes to spend his, not large in come, generously? As a matter of fact, the president of the frugal French re public has an income of 120.noo, while Mr. Roosevelt's salary is only .V.noo, most of which is required for Inevitable expenses which in France are defrayed by the government. The Standard Oil company promptly gave a magnificent banquet to Secre tary Cortelyou. Rockefeller knows on which side to butter the Secretary's bread. ' Mr tes Editorial Snap-Shots lias anyone heard a trust "bust?" A discredited Speaker makes an ex cellent lobbyist doe-s'nt he? Tin; President has now turned his attention strictly totbe national con vention of I'.'ol. What a valuable man Minister How en would make on the diplomatic staff of Sultan of Turkey. The Roosevelt-Knox conception of publicity for trusts is evidently some thing strctly private and confidential. Wanted -by the republican, a meth od of revising the tariff without incur ring the displeasure of the trust mag nates. Tin; Cubansevideiitly appreciate the beauties of self-government, as is de monstrated by their haste to issue bonds. The yellow journals will now have an opportunity to describe, in "horse type," t be hazing of the new Cabinet member. Senator I'ettus holds the proud dis tinction of having been elected to the senate at a total cost of 1, the fee for his cert i Heat e. The price of soft coal would indicate that bituminous miners had adopted the ratio of Kito 1, Hi for them and 1 for the consumer. The Attorney tieneral (Knox) says theadniinistrat ion is satisfied with the anti-trust legislation. Of course, and s are the trusts. If Col. llingham, formerly of the White House staff, ever sang 'Tut me off at Buffalo," he will now have ample time for repentance. Will the President have the courage to call an extra session of congress to ratify the Cuban treaty? If so, he will have the approval of the public. A good many men have to work so hard to get intotbe United States Sen ate that they are too tired to do much after they get there. This has been especially true of those recently elected An English syndicate is building a railroad in Cuba and has the approval of President Pal ma. When the bonds Ix-come due. the United States is likely to have another Venezuelan case on its hands. When congress adjourns, those north western republicans who voted the re publican ticket on the promise that the tariff would be "reformed by its friends" w ill have lieen taught a useful lesson. Senator Ilevcridge is not even invit ed to participate in the councils of his party called for the purpose of effect ing a compromise on the statehood bill. Such is the fate of the man who talks too much. There is no question as to the exact location of the Alaskan boundry, ex cept in the mind of Secretary Hay. The Canadians and British are merely "bluffing," but are awful careful not to carry theirbluff too far. Rudyard Kipling's forcible charac terization of the A nglo-CJerman com bination makes the average consumer wish Mr. Kipling would turn his pow erful invective against the men who are holding up the price of coal. Herliert Spencer has predicted a great cataclysm in the United States. Mr. Spencer does not believe that the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few can continue without mak ing the social structure topheavy. A republican senator recently pur chased a graphophone and a miscellan eous lot of discs. When it arrived he started to entertain some of his friends with it, and the first thing it produced was an anti-tariff speech by Represent ative Sultzer. It is now in the repair si iop. The house committee on naval affairs solemnly reports, after its bribery in vestigation, that Representative Less Icr proved to its satisfaction that he was offered a bribe, and that no one offered the bribe. Such investigations are satisfying. The member of the German Richstag who fired at himself at short range without doing any damage must have been trained in the German navy. A larger expenditure of funds for target practice and less spent for bluster would improve the efficiency of the Teutonic naval forces. Senator Ilanna's ex-slave pension till is generally regarded as the first announcement that the Ohio boss is a candidate for the nomination in 1904, The scheme may be used to swindle thousands of negroes, but what does that matter if it makes them believe Mr. Hanna can give them the cash equivalent of "forty acres and a mule."

Pctsnt U Hit Him Again. The Times is both sorry and pained to note that I Ion. (I. W. Meredith, the fusion senator from Sarpy and Saun ders counties, is lending his assistance and is working teeth and toe nail in the interests of the corporations and against the ieople's interest. His ac tion against the Independent Tele phone companies and in favor of the Bell fieople isclearly against the inter est of his constituents, who are deeply interested in securing cheaper tele phone service. In thisand other mat ters Meredith has shown himself to be a traitor to those who elected him to the place he now occupies. Ilis almost every act is against the principles ad vocated by the parties who sent him to the state senate. Unless he makes a rapid change and puts himself in line with his party he should be tabooed by every democrat and populist in the district. Tragedy Averted. "Just in the nick of time our little boy was saved" writes Mrs W. Watkins of Pleasant City, Ohio. "Pneumonia had played sad havoc with him and a terrible cough set in besides, lectors treated him, but he grew worse every day. At length we tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, and our darling was saved. lie's now sound, and well."

Blame tor the accident to tlie presi dent's party seems likely to lall in the same way that it did iu the case of the first human trouble. The nio torman on the trolley ear says the driver of the carriage was at fault, while spectators say the motoi man was at fault in driving his car at ter rific speed. But it is said the women in the ear were urging tlie motonnaa to "let her go," so that they might got a good view of the p -evidential party. And so the blame aga.in falls ultimate ly on th weaker vessel as a last re sort of Adam's successors. occasion to use your BUck-Draught Stock and Poultry Medi. dnc and am pleased to say that I never used anything for stock that gave half as good satisfaction. I heartily rccom mend it to all owners of stock. J. B. BELSHER, St touis, Ma Sick stock or poultry should not eat cheap stock food any more than sick persons should expect to be cured by food. When your stock and poultry are sick give them med icine. Don't stuff them with worth less stock foods. Unload the bowels and stir up the torpid liver and the animal will be cured, if it be possi ble to cure it. Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine unloads the bowels and stirs up the torpid liver. It cures every malady of stock if taken in time. Secure a 25-cent can of Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine and it will pay for itself ten times orer. Horses work better. Cows give more milk. Hogs gain flesh. And hens lay more eggs. It solves the Jroblem of making as much blood, esh and energy as possible out of the smallest amount of food con tained. Buy a can from your dealer.

Interesting Finds Made at Bergen In Norway. St. John' convent at Bergen, Nor way, was .situated on a slope near the present Htr:Mil;;aden street, where, till within six years ao, still existed tiie maiden, the kH::ht's hall, whose walls were eovred with pictures rep-resentinj.-. tiie el. use, and a large vault ed cellar, tlie eeiiiiig of which was supported by nia"!;ivH columns, but these reliea iroM a bygone time were iblitt iated to make room for modern our -story brick buildings. An adja : e.'t jtreet still bears the name of rear:: siii u.i; (Tower lane). The story f the convert of St. John was re ailed few days ago when in exca vating the site of a building recently destroyed by fire on Strandgaden street the ancient cemetery of the onvent was exposed to view. A large number of skeletons were disinterred ud several objects of interest were found. Kar below the turfaee of tho rot.nd was discovered a stone wall of enormous thickness, the remnants of a eeilar. As the convent was abol ished about the year l.r00, tho skele tons f.uind must be at least 400 years old. SURE GROUND HOG TRAP. Pennsylvania Farmer's Device for Catching the Pests. Christian Weiss has rid his farm of a pest of ground hogs. "Seine of you folks may want to know how to get shet of the pesKy things," he told his neighbors, "so I'll just tell you how it's done. "If theie's one thing a groun' hog hates worse n another it's a tortle. And next on his list is coal lie. Well, you just catch a tortle, soak some cot ton with ile, tie the cotton to the tor tle, and point his nose into the groun' hog's hole. "Then you want to have a bag ready quick, for out'll come all the hog meat that hole ever heard tell of. "You lose your tortle, but look at the ground' hogs you get!" Bager town (l'a.) Dispatch in Detroit News Tribune. Took Thorough Revenge. A Russian who is now a porter in a hotel in Vladivostok served out a sentence of twenty years' imprison ment in Siberia for murdering the inhabitants of a whole village in order to avenge the insult that had been offered by the marriage of his financee to another man. According to his ideas and those of the class to which he was born he could hard ly have acted otherwise without be coming an object of general con tempt. His last statement at the court is sufficient to prove that he considered he had acted justly. The president having asked him if he had anything to say in his own de fense, "It is a pity," he replied, "that two men should have sur vived!" German Criminal Catcher. Ilerr Eugen Fass has hit upon an elaborate method of alarming the Inhabitants of a town whenever any great crime has been committed, in order to prevent the escape of the criminal. His idea is to erect in all the most public parts of the town booths containing a table, writing materials, telephone and electric bells, and in front a large board for the display of the notices. As soon as a crime is committed a bell is set ringing, which calls the near est policeman, who is informed tele phonically of the details, and these he promptly writes down and places them on the display board, so that he who runs may read. Thus, within a few minutes of the perpetration of a crime, a public hue and cry is raised, which it Is hoped may end speedily in the capture of the crim inal. Edward Eggleston's Creed. Edward Eggteston's creed was, "Never postpone your happiness for a day, but exact of life that it shall, if possible, pay you spot cash without running in debt to the future." The little preposition in this creed ren ders it somewhat difficult to follow, and then, too, there is more happiness in lotting on what is to come. As that little boy said when asked why he looked so sorrowful, "Why, I haven't a single thing to lot upon!" It is the "lotting," the anticipation, wherein the chief part of the Eggles ton "haDDiness" lies. Fascination of Widows. It is commonly supposed that widows captivate only men, but this supposi tion, like many more that are popular. Is only partially true. Let It be said by one who has made a study of the subject that widows fascinate as many women as they do men. Showed Good Sense. A Lewiston, Me., infant, asked by his Sunday school teacher what he should have done first of all if he had been miraculously cast out of the whale's belly like Jonah, said: "I fink I'd gone home and got some clean clothes on."
