HON. GKOKGK D. MIUKLKJOHN has
honorably and ably filled every public
station approaching the U. S. senator-
ship and he would give a good account
of himself in that position , by the same
token.
MR. BRYAN confess that Nebraska
pops look so much like democrats that
you cannot tell them apart. This is the
result of natural laws. It has always
been noted that in happy marriages ,
husband and wife finish by resembling
each other. Despite their little family
jars the marriage of the pops and demo
crats in Nebraska has been measurably
happy. The twain were evidently made
for each other.
ONE of the strangest of the phenom-
eua noted in Cuba by General Wood is
the large immigration from Spain which
during the past year has exceeded sixty
thousand. But it is still more strange
that these new settlers fresh from Spain ,
where Uncle Sam is perhaps hated more
intensely than anywhere else in Europe ,
are almost unanimously in favor of an
nexation to the United State * , preferring
the stars and stripes to a flag of their
own. Journal.
TUB friends of Donne college will re
joice to learn from the special report of
the endowment committee that success
has attended the campaign to place the
finances of the institution on a sound
basis. A large amount of money bus
been needed to pay off old debts nn-l to
keep up the running expenses , but the
money has been furnished together with
enough in addition to increase the en
dowment of the college to $ [ 50.000
The full extent of this victory for Doane
college will be understood when the re
port is read and it is seen just how much
money has been required to bring about
the present satisfactory situation The
college has been doing faithful and
efficient work in the cause of higher ed
ucation in Nebraska for
nearly thirty
years. It is a cause for general congrat
ulation among the school people of the
state as well as among the supporters of
the Congregational church , that Doane
college has been strengthened and stim
ulated to so marked an extent by this
successful campaign for
an increased en
dowment. Lincoln Journal.

SECRET OK SALVATION ARMY SUCCESS.
Its subjects preach and practice two
cardinal truths : First , believe in Christ
to the salvation of your own soul. They
do not make two bites to that cherry.
They believe that when Christ saves a
man he is saved and that if saved , his
life in disposition and conduct will show
it by growing in the grace of the know
ledge of Jesus Christ.
Second , work to save your brother.
They take no stock in any man's salva
tion or profession of salvation , no matter
how orthodox his creedif , he won't work
to save his fellow man.

English Losses In South Africa.
The British war office admits the loss
of 40,000 men , exclusive of those in hos
pitals and those .who were invalided
home. Now what is the number of
these ? The British governnient is silent
on that point , hut we are told that about
100,000 men garrison the territory oc
cupied. Roberts has 30,000 men for of
fensive operations ; the admitted losses
are 40,000 , thus making a total of 170,000.
The number sent to South Africa WHS
according to official statement , 220,000.
Where are the missing 50,000 ? There is
but one conclusion : Great Britiun has
already lost forty per cent of the army
raised for this war or about 90,000. If
the Boers know this , then it is not as-
touishing that they refuse to give up the
struggle , for they are still the real victors
despite their reverses. England must
continue to send troops or her army by
next April will have melted away to such
an extent that it is no longer a match for
the burghers. Truly the latter have
staggered humanity. The Literary Di
gest , October 20 , 1900. 4
