It .is a meritorious measure. No one knows this from living mem ‘ : ory better than the Carolinan. His bill should become law. Twenty-six cars of canned beef were lately drawn over the rails out of Chicago for tranportation to jBptttty' Africa for the use of British soldiers. Now if some enterprising j ., Boev sympathizer will ship Oom Paul a train load of Nobraaka bron-' costeak a market will at once be Opened in the far east for the only .^American product still confined to American markets. . I The sage presiding over the es teemed Republican at Atkinson tosses his irongray mane to the breeze and comes clamoring to the rescue of that hideous excerpt of the most truely good and beautiful word of the English tongue, X-raas. ... It pleads from a religious stanpoint for the furtherance of the contarctod ■j, manner of Christmas. The Ilopub •• • lican’s station is insecure. Its style 1 of orthography, etomology, syntax and prosody is obsolete j since the seventeenth oentry. None but su .lf l peraouat^d men of letters give them • - selves to. the use i of abbreviations. t As h matter of truth and fact X is jr no iOoi'G' indicative of thje erucifio “ tion than Y, and ho encomium or " ^impulse of church! or the Holt County ivJRepublican, can einblematicize it. ...i.. “Since the Mass of the Cross follow ed the oruoihotion” and tjho advent ' of the Babe of Bethleham preoodod ''1 both there abides no excellence in .the aacripton of one to the other. Moreover had the Republican con sulted ancient and inspired records ! with the steadfastness with which it . : talks of things it know nothing about, it. would know1 that the r - birth of the' Babe of Bethleham oe curred many months after Christ mak' The republican is ;in the van • i .'

Nebraskaing The Language. 1 hi 1 (OUIcago Inter-Oqean.) . . • Oar esteemed contemporary, the 'i Palmyra (Neb.) Item, in addition to ” sa large1 amount of interesting and 'Instructive general and local infor ,, matiou, contains in a focent issue v the intelligence that “Mrs. Thomas * I*! Stewart trained to Lincoln this week,” that ’“Mrs. Claddy and grand daughter Christmas at Syracuse,” and that “the Misses Hill of Have ..<• .lock are here pleasuring their uncle ► v and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hill.” • - We take it that the Palmyra Item is being edited as nearly as possible with the view of meeting the de . mand of its readers for something • i-cpiquant and unique in the composi tion of personal notices, which are, .. juuhappily, too often verbed and adjectived by our rural contemporar ‘ ■ ies with distressing uniformity, and are not infrequently tautological and commonplace in construction: 1 The style of diction in. which the* Jtern'seems to bave attained coom. siderable skill is, it is reported, be> . )coming] j ‘ exceedingly popular * throughout Nebraska, bat, strange to say, up to this time it has been >’•' ntroduced only into the presonal 'and society colums. j There is no very good , reasons . why it . should not be adopted by the Nebraska press in treating of the movements and actions of pol^ UifiiahS, however, and we look for ward with some degree of hope and -f |j HANDSOME Ci|[?| a 3 V W M W i Dilfibg the yelir lS'JSUThere were SfV* e t* quarter millions of dollars given in large gifts to benevolences j«5 in the United States. i confidence to the time when the Palmyra Item and other newspaper* of espial entefpri!»e i throughout’ the ntate wilj bo telling us that William Jonnings Bryan ostriched in. .Tpxas a few days ago, or is enjoying; him self panthoring with Governor Hopg or is going to Chicago to ratio \trith !

A Growing List. • ■ (Sioux City Jburoul.)'' The constantly growing roll of southern senators said to be open advocates of the expansion policy, as exemplied in tho retention of , the Thilippines now includes the names of Morgan and Pettus of Alabama, Mallory of Florida, Clay ot Georgia, Lindsay of Kentucky, CafTrey and McEnory of- Louisiana, Sullivan of Mississippi, McLaurin and Tillman of South Carolina, Culbersou ,... and Chilton of Texas and Daniel of Vir ginia. All of these have given ex-' pression . to expansion sentiments mainly as a ,business proposition. The south is interested in an ex. panded market for its cOtion and has roadily recognized the oHental trade toward securing which the 1 Philip pines will prove such a; donvehieut stepping stone. In view ;of the com petent evidence of this w^li develop ed expansion sentiment in the south furnished this list of expansion sena tors the hopelessness of pehmttding the democratic party to ljne up sol idly in support pf jmti-eipansion as a national issue next yoaf. is: quite apparent. .

The national dish, and the common- food ot tho masses, is “chupe,-’ a sort of first cousin to the Irish stew. It is a con glomerate composed of Irregular con stituents from the anlmkl ami vege table kingdoms—a mess of mutton and such other meats as are available; chicken, fish, fruits, potatoes, carrots, barley, corn, rice, onions, yams, etc., chopped up, highly seasoned with pep pers and herbs, and stfe\Ved to a con sistency of porridge.
