Transatlantic Steamship company as
certs that there Is nothing to con
firm the theory that tho General
Chunzy became unmanageable and
attributes her disaster, In which 156

Glavls, tho principal accuser of Sec
retary Dalllngcr, underwent his first
ordeal by cross examination whon

sumed by tho Joint congressional
committee. .
Tho cross examination was undor
tnkon by John J. Vcrtrees of Nash
ville, Tenn., attorney for Secretary
Balllngor. Mr. Vcrtrees drew from
tho witness tho fact that ho made no
charges of corruption against any one
In tho land ofilco or In tho depart
ment or the Interior. Glnvls doclarod
that If he had found evidence of cor
ruption ho would have taken the
matter to a grand Jury Instead of to
tho president.
Through a process of elimination,
Mr, Vertrees had the witness exoner
ate all of the other officials or agents
of the land office and the department
of the Interior.
Glavls 'said ho thought the facts
warranted tho opinion that Mr. Dal
linger and Mr. Dennett acted Im
properly and ho charged them with
official misconduct.
Glavls repeated tho statement he
had mado on direct examination that
bo was convinced that tho interior
department was not In safo hands
nnd that the peoplo's interests were

Washington, Feb. 15. Alaska,
which Secretary Balllnger has fre
quently said Is America's prize pack
age, may bo a greater prize than man

Cream of Editorial Opinion
And thou too, Moics! It is more than
confiding constituents can bear, this hell-
ism charge that Moses Kinkaid, the tablet-
eating congressman from the Sixth district
of Nebraska, has been caught with both
his soft, white hands smeared by the touch
of black coal in the Guggenheim coal land
frauds in Alaska. How could you do it,
Mose? You, who for twenty years have
been the love-light in the eyes of all Nc
braskansl And yet there are the marks
upon your hands. Never a whitewash
brush can be concocted white enough to
hide the marks. I do not grieve for you.
You deserve all you shall get, and that
will be a political grave so deep that even
so mighty a friend as Dennis Crom'n will
not be strong enough to resurrect you. It
is for Denny and kindred admirers that my
sympathy oozes. Columbus Telegram.
Just a tariff fact to look over. The wool
schedule has remained practically the
same for fifteen years. There is a big tax
on wool for the purpose of "protecting the
wool grower." The number of sheep per
capita has decreased during the past ten
years, Today there is about five-sevenths
of a sheep per capita in the United States.
Yet every man, woman and child in the
republic is taxed an average of $7.35 each'
to protect five-sevenths of one sheep.
That's more than a whole sheep is worth,
wool and all. Yet there are several mil
lions of men who show by their votes that
they hold to the belief that a protective
tariff, if it is high enough, will make wool
grow on the back of a hydraulic ram.
Red Cloud Chief.
The News-Blade will contribute a five
dollar bill to a fund to prevent the location
of the new state normal school at Chadron.
We want it understood that we bear no
ill-will toward Chadron, but the attempt to
shove a state institution of that character
over the'state line, where its usefulness
will be crippled for all time, is an outrage
and an insult to the intelligence of the
people of western Nebraska. It should be
prevented by all means. Bridgeport
News-Blade.
It will have to be admitted that the poli
cy of the initiative and referendum is not
very popular when neither side to a scrap
is not ready to submit to the verdict of the
majority. Grand Island Independent.
We want to say that if "Uncle Mose"
Kinkaid has taken a1 chance in the coal-land
lottery in Alaska, we hope he will not have
drawn a blank as most of them have.
Dee.
With United States Commissioner Bal
llnger as his attorney it is hardly probable
that he drew a blank. Custer county Dea
con The dismissal of Prof. Crabtree should
bring about the political and official un
doing of every person directly responsible.
Let this be the slogan passed all over the
state. Those who desire the removal of
Crabtree are only a lot .of political sore
heads who have long since lived their time
of political usefulness to this state. Hast
ings Republican.
The Bridgeport Blade 'offers 85.00 to a
fund to prevent the location of the Normal
school at Chadron. We can appreciate
now urotner uyncn leeis about it, but we
feel it is too late to kick now. However,
it relieves the feelings to offer to wreak
vengeance on the chumps who voted to
locate the Normal school at Chadron where
it will receive the smallest possible num
ber of students. ScottsblufI Herald.
The educational people of Nebraska are
up in arms (and they should be) over the
removal of Prof. J. W. Crabtree from the
presidency of the Peru Normal college,
When a political board gets so small that
they disregard the educational interests of
Nebraska to vent a political spite against
a recognized educator like Prof. Crabtree,
things are In a serious condition. It is too
bad public men cannot rise above their
party politics. Valley Enterprise (rep.)
Mr. Taft is quoted as saying
ho hopes on his retirement from
the presidency that he can point
to things done and not to a
"record of noise and fury and
hypocritical demagogy." The
report does not say thai ho was
looking at Teddy's picture as he
said this.
If it is justice, it seems to us
like a queer brand of it, that
sends to the penitentiary the
subordinate employes of the
sugar trust that got mixed up in
the sugar weighing scandal in
the New York customs house,
and at the same time lets the
"higher up" officials oft with a
fine that they will never miss.
It is ridiculous to claim that
while the employes of the sugar
trust were stealing from the
government until tho amount
had run up into the millions of
dollars, all of which went into
the pockets and coffers of the
trust magnates, that the "higher
up" officials of the trust knew
nothing about it ;When it is
determined to let rascals go un
punished, some kind of an ex
cuse can always be found.
