Any tariff bill must necessarily be
better than the one the country is
now staggering under.
No section of the country is
slighting President McKinley by
neglecting to invite him to visit it.
The majority of the house are
showing the country that they have
themselves well in hand, and are not
to be stampeded.
By poking fun at Omaha the
Chicago papers demonstrate that
their opinion of the greatness of
Chicago has been somewhat warped.

V ON CUBA.
V The president sent the following
special message to congress last
, . Monday: “To the senate and house
; of representatives of the United
States: Official information from
our consuls in Cuba establishes the
i fact that a large number of Ameri
can citizens in the island dra in a
state of destitution and are suffering
. v for food and medicines. This
applies particularly to the rural dis
tricts of the central and eastern
% parts. The agricultural classes have
LU been forced from their farms into
T;

ft
w
the nearest towns, where they are
without work or money. The local
authorities of the towns, however
kindly disposed, are unable to
relieve the needs of their own peo
ple and are altogether powerless to
help our citizens.
“The latest report of Consul Gen
eral Lee estimates that there an
6,800 Americans without means ol
support I assured him that pro
visions will be made at once tc
relieve them. To that end I recom
mend that congress make an appro
priation of not leas than $50,000, U

be immediately available, for nsi
under the direction of the secretary
of state. It is desirable that part o:
the sum which may be appropriated
by congress should be in the discre
tion of the secretary of state to be

ican citizens who, desiring to return
to the United States, are without
means to do so.

BETTER TIMES.
There can be no doubt that there
is gradual and general improvement
of the times as the first half of the
year is passed. Trade is better,
steadily somewhat better from the
retailer up to the jobber. Tho nows
from the jobbing centers lately
indicate a large increase in trade,
and there is no reason why it should
not steadily increase in the future,
and every reason why it should. So,
too, a great many manufacturing
enterprises have resumed or have
enlarged operations. Tens of thou
sands of men who six or eight
months ago were idle are now em
ployed. More are being employed
every day, and more will be em
ployed in the future in manufactur
ing industry. No small amount of
improvements, publio and private, is
being inaugurated or planned, and
this is giving employment to a great
many people, os well as stimulating
trade. These are not flush times
indeed, but the aggregate of new
work in the country in progress or
in sight is growing all the time.
Finances are improving. Credit is
stronger. The banks are not only
getting in better shape but also are
beginning to expand accommoda-'
tions. Many loan companies ai>d
agencies are boginning to take new
business even in the western states.
There could 'be no more significant
fact than the gigantio refunding
operations which some of the great
railroad companies have lately com
pleted or are now carrying on. The
old debts of some of these compan
ies have been exchanged for new
ones carrying only 3£ per cent,
interest, and running a hundred
years. There have already been
lately such refundings to the aggre
gate of several hundred millions.
It demonstrates beyond all question
that our credit rests on a secure
foundation in the judgment of the
financial world. These refunding
operations would have been utterly
impossible on any other condition.
In other words, enterprise, which
has been paralyzed and which has
been disjointed and torn down, is
beginning to rebuild. Almost be
lore we know it, we find the times
indisputably improving. Much, very
muoh, remains to be dona It will
require several years fully to recover
a condition of complete confidence
And complete readjustment, but
before we know it we shall find our
selves in the midst of prosperity. It
will not be this spring or this sum
mer or next fall, but before the year
closes we shall 'in all probability
have reached a point from which we
all can see the good times of the
future—and then good times will
have eome.—Sioux City Journal.
NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS.
The republican party suffered de
feat at the polls in Nebraska last fall
and its restoration to power should
now be the purpose of the thought
ful, conscientious men who compose
it
But for one thing there could be
no doubt of its immediate restora
tion. The popocratic legislature
which sat at Lincoln nullified the
victory of the enemy. The session
was nothing but a wake and politi
cal debauch. The disgraceful
actions of the majority showed the
popocrats to be dangerous and dis
honest and unworthy of confidence.
The people show much dissatisfac
tion and disgust with the actions cf
their representatives.
The one thing standing in the
way of republican success is the
defalcation of two of the retiring
state officials. Will this offset the
weakened faith of the people in the
honesty of purpose and policy of the
enemy, as shown by the majority oi
the last legislature?
The republican party condemn:
Moore and Bartley for' their affioial
misconduct It is safe to predict
that the state platform this year wil
i denounce their defalcations in un
' measured terms, because the party
! never condones crime nor counten
ances official misconduct. The re
publican press has from tbe^ first
denounced the rascals in unmeas
ured terms.
Will the popocratic platform
adopted next fall arraign the ballot
bnrglers? Will it denounce * the
high banded and arbitrary unseat
ing of the Douglas county members,
just because there was u brutal
majority to do it? Will it arraign
the rascals who manipulated bills so
as to increase the appropriations,
and to show the passage of meas
ures which did not have legislative
sanction?
Nobody expects it to do anything
of the kind.
Instead of condemning this rot
tenness in its own party, as the
republican press is doing,. every
little popocratic sheet from Omaha
to Ogallala is condoning it.
At a meeting of the John L.
Webster republican club in Omaha
last night Mr. Webster delivered an
address in which he touched upon
this subject. During the course of
his remarks he said:
I do not know whether Moore and
Bartley are guilty of the charges so
freely asserted against them. It is
too early to pass judgment upon
them. It is a principal of law as
old as the English speaking lan
guage that persons charged with
crime are presumed to be innocent
until proven guilty. Wliten we
humor that presumption, we are in
dulging in a principal of justice that
had its existence before the 'Magna
Gharta.
If these men be conceded to be
defaulters and embezzlers of public
moneys their offences are not to be
imputed to the party—but their
crimes must rest upon their own
heads. The republican party never
seeks to protect but hastens to con
demn criminals. If these men are
^uiiuj Will uuuviciwu m u I
publican court; if they are sentenced
it will be by a republican judge; if
they have betr.iyed the trust of the
republican party, that party will
convict and condemn without hesi
tation and without reluctance.
If they have betrayed the trust
and confidence wo reposed in them,
it furnishes no justification for con
demning the great principles of the
republican party or its grand organ
ization.
The army of Washington had a
Benedict Arnold, but the people did
not condemn the revolution, nor for
sake the principals of the Declara
tion of Independence.
Mr. Webster spoke truly. Repub
licans will condemn their own scoun
drels. Will the enemy do as much?
Two republicans cannot represent
the party, but a constitutional ma
jority of the legislature, it must be
admitted, does represent a party*
certainly to a larger and fuller
degree than two men.—Fremont
Tribune.
