Jnminr came in like a lamb, appar ently, but the recent unprecedented cold snap proves that it was a bliz zard in lamb's clothing. Emperor Menolik of Jibuli, French Somaliland, has recently sent two lions to President Roosevelt as a mark of friendship. The pets will no doubt ro quiro strenuous training before they will be allowed tho privilege of the white house grounds. Mayor Harrison and seven others were arrested last Tuesday charged with being accountable for the Iro quois theatre disaster. All of tho ac cused gave bonds pending action by tho grand jury in Chicago. Mayor Har rison was acquitted of any responsi bility nt tho preliminary hearing before Judge Tuthill. A cablegram from Vienna states that Montenegrins and Servians at Bel grade have been engaged in a vigorous agitation against the Karagcorgcvitch dynasty and have even planned a con spiracy cgainst King Peter. A dynasty with such a handle as an appellation is dangerous in itself and it's little wonder that the royal crown weighs heavily on Peter's cocoanut. Russia has made an expression as in llnr nttitllrllln tnunrr1 Innnn (.lin insists upon two alleged vital points. Russia wants full control in Manchuria, declines to give Japanese unrestricted admission to Chinese province and would also limit Japan in Corca and still further the Russian bear objects to tho little power building forts which will command tho sea. Japan will not consider the unreasonable issues of Russia and if this dispatch proves of ficially correct there will no longer bo any doubt of hostilities. Tho new year starts in with no let up in accidcntH and the destruction of lift. Between 180 and ino men wore buried alive in the Ilarwick mine of the Allegheny, Pennsylvania, Coal company last Monday. A like disaster occurred Tuesday morning at the Strut ton Independence mine in Victor, Colo., in which fifteen miners lost their lives. Two railw ay collisions this week claim the lives of at least a dozen persons. The tragic end of so many human lives every day lends serious reflection to the Uncertainty of human existence. Congressman Hitchcock is after the committee on appropriation and de mands information as to the number of horses, carriages nnd automobiles maintained at government expense for officials of that department. Mr. Hitchcock characterized the use of car riages as governmental extravagance and ilkhal expenditure and said ex travagance of that kind "carried on in the dark" should be stopped or there would be a "rattling of dry bones." The Omaha congressman evidently has discovered something in Washington official circles that needs "fixing," The Democrats in congress passed joint resolutions in caucus recently for the purpose of getting additional in formation concerning the Panama sit uation. The members of the commit tee were Senators Gorman, Culbcrtson, Carmack and Cockrell. The resolution is as follows: Resolved, That the president be request ed to inform the senate whether all the correspondence and notes between the Department of Stato and the legation of the United States to Bogota and between either of these and the government of Col ombia for the construction of an isthmian canal and all the correspondence and notes between the United States and any of its officials or representatives or the govern ment of Panama concerning the separation of Panama from Colombia have been sent to the senate, and if not, that he be re quired to send to send the remaining cor respondence and notes to the senate in executive session. It is hoped that the lack of informa tion that has been wanting in this mat ter wili;be (forthcoming. It has be como a too prevailing habit withhold ing important information regarding public questions in which the general public is interested aud has a right to receive information. The Panama question is most important and hence the above resolution should receive immediate attention. Colonel Arthur Lynch, who com manded tho Irish brigades against the British forces during the war in South Africa and who waB afterward convict ed of treason and sentenced to impris onment for life, was liberated last Sun day. The liberty-loving people of the world will tcjoicc exceedingly over this good news. Col. Lynch has gained laurels that compare with tho honors surrounding tho glorious names of Washington, Lafayette and others. In the darkest hour of tho little South African republic's struggle, this modern liberator took up arms in dofenso of tho lost cause and his military tactjes togcthor with a fearless spirit were the cause of many British defeats. A bravo man is Col. Lynch and may Ire land always honor her noble son. With the decline of live stock comes a fall in the grain market. A break of over zVi cents occurred Tuesday at the board ol trade, Chicago. This slate of affairs does not speak well for prosperity, and the interests affected by the general decline will cut a decid ed figure in the coming national cam paign. When the products of the range and farm can be manipulated by the combines and trusts and prices destroyed at a snap of the finger it is time to call a halt. The only remedy for this evil lies tjirough legislation. If the common people, tho producers, and the toilers desire relief from this abuse they must find it through the ballot. There is no other recourse. An administration that permits the exist ence of combines, such as the beef and kindred ilk, should be removed at the first opportunity. Number Your House.
