The Cubans, like joliticians else where, are demanding a share of the spoils, but Governor Magoon is standing pat and declares he will let well enough alone for the pres ent. Some of these Cubin patriots will soon have to go to work or take to the woods if the- stand-pat issue is persisted in. Tuoi'GU the republican majority in the lower house of the next con gress will be only 5S, instead of 114, as it is in this, it will le quite large enough to make the republican party responsible in the presidential election for any trouble that may come of its straddling and vacillat ing course on the tariff. Reitclican leaders agree that the taxi J must be revised imme Jiatcly after the presidential elec tion of 190H. That is an admission that it needs revision.

He sa ie Sending of Taft and Root ini New York to charge Hearst with tutting the xssxssinatii n o McKinley did the work.

The j Tenure :s mainly political, though nuch of it is prompted Ly the sentinentahsra for the negro w hich more strongly r revails in the north and east than in any other :.art cf the country. Though the n-r ublicans Lave aboi:: abandoned the hoje of doing anything with the r.egro vote in the south, it is one of their most valuable assets in the north. If jn-th:r.g Lit. a close election in such states s.s New York, New Jersey, Ikrlaware, I'enr.sva nia, C)hio, Indiana and Illinois, the negro vote is the decisive factor if the re;uh.:cans w:r.. lney must held this vote at til hazards. Most of the: r agitation o: the -o-called race I'lollen." including the i-eonage prosecutions, :s carried on for the main purpose of holding it, Now the agitation assails discip' line in the regular army and threat ens the efficiency of the military service. A military organization which can with impunity shoot up an American city and kill or wound reaceable citizens with the guns placed in their hands ly the govern meet is an element demoralizing to the rest of the army and a men ace to tte reopie res:cmg near any post at which it may Ic stationed. I'verv memU-r of the mob of ne gro soldiers who wantonly killed a citizen of Brownsville and wounded others is guilty of murder, and ev ery one of theSr comrades who knows their identity and refuses to reveal it is an accessory to the crime. Individually and collectively they are unfit men to bear arms in the military service of the United States. It is for tho.- who con demn their dismissal under the pres ident's order to come forward with a Ji tter plan for ridding the army of them. The explanation given by Mr. Oliver. Assistant Secretary of War, remov s the objection as to punish ing all for the crime of some. He savs w ith the best of common sense that the order to muster out the en listed men of these three companies was not based upon the refusal of some to tell on the others, but be ans? investigations made by the war department showed that these hxee companies are dangerous to live in the service. No sounder conclusion was ever reached by any department of the government. The army and the country w ill 1 better off when these mutineers are deprived of their arms and stripped of their uniforms Governor Mickey has caused 'a ot of dry bones to rattle among prominent republicans by the an nouncement that he w ill make an effort to probe the Joe Bartley de falcations in his message to the leg islature. Kven if he makes such a recommendation the question is, what w ill the legislature do? Gov ernor Mickey dislikes to make pub lic his method of procedure and this alone is making many republi can grafters feel all the more ner vous. The shortage is 99,842 Hartley can greatly assist the gov trnor in his undertaking, if hewil onlv do so iHK trientts ot trie trusts and corporations endeavored to down W. J. Bryan in the committee room at the Trans-Mississippi congress at Kansas City, but his resolutions came up for adoption before that body propcr.and they went through with a whoop. The common peo ple always stand by the great com nioncr. The question of river improve ments is no joke. The railroads cannot handle the great products of the country. The only boi for relief i in the waterways. The riattsno-Jth Journal is one cf the fcx ;i;rs lt!or.g:r to tht school which saw noth- irggocdintheorK-Mngrartyand nothing in one's own organiz- ation. The Journal is intensely 1-.-"! u B,1Uu60 ' I and we know ci no jaj-r which hews more closely to the old lines of prejudice and blind partyisn. This is said with no intention of re flection upon the general character of the Journal, which gives Platts mouth one of the brightest little dailies in the state. Lincoln Star. While the Journal begs 'leave to object to one or two sentences in the foregoing, it also desires to extend thanks for the compliment bestowed. The Journal is a demo cratic paper, and in discussing the issues between the two parties we have not been more severe in so doing than manv republican parsers we could mention that great graft sheet, the Lincoln Journal, for in stance. We have been more fair. in reality, than manv pajxrs who have boasted that the e "have no u.'e for a democrat." We have never let our prejudice run to the extent of making such a remark. We have great respect for honest, con scientious republicans, but we have no use for either republican or dem ocrat, who are such simply for the "graft" in sight, of which Ne braska is so numerously afflicted. The consensus of opinion among the delegates to the Trans-Mississippi congress, in session at Kansas City this week, seems to be that fifty millions a year should be spent in river improvements. In addres sing the congress. Mr. Ransdell of Louisiana made a comparative state ment as to the cost of freight by rail and by water transportation. He showed that in Texas, where they have the best possible law fcr the regulation of the railroads and where they have a strong railroad commission, it costs $3 a bale to carry cotton 500 miles, while a bale of cotton is carried by river 3 miles for 50 cents to Si. The speaker further showed that the Missouri river is navigable from its mouth to Fort Benton, Montana, and used to be so regarded, and w ith very little improvement. He says that navigation can be profita bly carried on on all f the naviga ble rivers of the country. The av erage freight rate by rail is 7.S mills per ton per mile. The average lake rate, where the transportation is carried through canals improved by the government, is .S5 of one mill -r mile. There is certainly a field for investigation here. The season of the laughing hearth, with its chill winds out of doors and its w armth of heart with in, is a precious time to most of us. Leading as it does to the climax of Christmas, which is the world's great day of reunion, and ending in the first bloom of spring, which is the day of regeneration it is the season of nature's satisfaction and repose. The council last night decided to shut down on new street work for the winter, with the exception of repairing a few crossings that need immediate attention. The city has done an immense amount of work upon the streets the past season, and no one can possMy have any kick coming from that li rection. unless it le the same old chronic knockers. .AkizoxA nas ueciaea mat sue prefers to remain a territory than ft . t ! . 1 joiu New Mexico in statehood. The question was submitted to the two territories, and as Arizona re jected the proposition we will stil! have the two territories in the south' west to be run at the expense of the federal government. In point of territory either would make a state greater in extent than all the New England states.

The resolutions were proposed by Mr. Bryan in bis speech before the congress Thursday night, and are as follows: Resolved, That this congress heartily indorses the resolution unanimously adopted by the Inter Parliamentary union at its London session last July in favor of the sub mission of all international ques tions to an impartial court or com mission for investigation before any dc-laration of w ar or commencement of hostilities. Resolved. That this congress is unalterably opposed to pi ivate mo nopolies and, 1-elieving them inde fensible and intolerable, favors the enforcement of existing laws and the enactment of such new laws as may be necessary to protect indus try from the menace offered by the trusts. The adoption of the resolutions by the convention was a signal for pro longed cheering, many of the dele gates mounting chairs. The op position to the resolutions which cropped out in the committee is said to be born of political preju dice, some of the members being of the cuckoo stripe who kept the trail to the Palmer-Buckner headquarters hot during the trying days in the campaign of 18. Kd Third Tern. Everybody nearly in Cass county knows Tom Williams, he who was the republican candidate for sheri5 in 1901, and was defeated by John D. McEride. Soon after which he removed to El Reno. Oklahoma, where he is now engaged in p,ub- lishing a republican paper called The Tribune. Tom is opposed to a third term for Roosevelt, and so declares in the following language: "At intervals since the election of 1904 certain newspapers and pol iticians have insisted that President Roosevelt should be the republican standard-bearer in the next national campaign. They have thus been insistent in face of the president's repeated declaration that under no circumstances would he be a candi date again or accept another nom ination for the presidency. Some of the newspapers have even denied that the president made such a de claration. "Here is Mr. Roosevelt's state ment as issued over his own signa ture, and bearing date of November Sth. 19"4: "I am deeply sensible of the hon or done me by the American people in thus expressing their confidence in what I have done and have tried to do. I appreciate to the full ex tent the solemn responsibility this confidence imposes upon me, and I shall do all that in my power lies not to forfeit it. On the 4th of March next I shall have served three and one-half years, and this three and one-half years constitutes my first term. The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance, and not the form. Under no circum stances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination." The politicians and the people know that when Roosevelt made that pledge he meant every word of it, and that he is too smart a man and too honest to ever withdraw that declaration or to disregard it He could not hope to retain the re spect of the American people should lie violate that voluntary promise, and wc do not believe he could be induced for a moment to seriously consider such a move. "All this talk about the presi dent being nominated and elected whether he wished it or not, is sim ply foolishness, the vaporings of interested office-holders and half baked newspaper editors. The American people do not do business in that way.

LIFE" That's what a prominent druist said of Scott's Emulsion a short time azo. .-s a rule we cion t i.e or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, ':)'.: t the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connec tion with Scott's Emulsion that thev are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion otters a reliable means of remedying im proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul sion itself. What it does it does through nourish mentthe kind of nourish ment that cannot be ob tained in ordinary food. Xo system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from it.
