'l'IIE President's message , like all other presidential state papers , : is a statesmanlike utterance , or a disalipointing failure , just a you look through Republican or Democratic - ocratic optics. ) / ' THE Nebraska delegates in theY Traus-Mississippi congress who wish to secure practical results from the session here will urge the questions - tions of irrigation and immigrrtion upon the attention of the congress. These matters are paramount in this state today and they go hand in hand. The time will soon come when every agency that can be employed - ployed by our people will be used to further irrigation enterprises and swell the inflow of newcomers upon Nebraska praries.-Omaha I Bee. ' . THE deficit for th'j month of ' October in the national treasury was $ G,000,000 , . It was reduced a million on the last day by sharp practice , the treasury paying out only a few thousand dollars in place of the average million of a days expenses. Of course that was simply passing the additional million of deficit over to November , "after the elections. " The amount of the deficit since the 1st of July , the beginning of the fiscal Year , is $1G,000,000. At the same rate the year's shortage will b e about $50,000,000. T'IIE agitation for more convenient - venient dress for women has been won in advance , and the only delay - lay will be in accepting and getting - ting used to the results. It is now clear that women are to compete with men in many lines of activity. This being admitted , it cannot be expected that they will long consent - sent to handicap themselves by in- / COIIValliellt methods of dressing. They may not come to dress like men , but they are bound to dress as sensibly. Women can get along with doll's feet as long as they are treated like dolls , and no longer. THE Russian thistle has made its appearance in New York and the scientists there say it is a blessing. The Canada thistle once invaded the same territory , and in order to get rid of it the farmers had to ' thoroughly cultivate and dig a little farther into the bowels of the earth to extirpate the roots of the alleged . . ' pest. The consequence was that ' , it polished of their Canadian , invader - vader they increased the crops everywhere , Rhe Canada thistle is gone and now , lest they should stop thorough cultivation , the Rus- sion thistle comes along to encourage - age them to continue their well- doing. The Russian thistle will not grow where the soil is thoroughly - ghly cultivated. ' DUMAS , the author died in Paris i on the 27th. Alexander Dumas , novelist and dramatic writer , was i . ' born in Paris , J my 28 , 1824. He early gave evidence of ability in the line of work along which his distinguished father , II.
