Eves is a star at howling for pap if his “roasts” do make one sick. When the democrats find an issne they ought also find a champion. ---- Cronje, the Boer general, has snr rendered with 3,000 men to Lord Koberts. -Mt« The prevalency of blackleg doesn’t deminish the consumption of beef steak to any extent. —.. » «•» .... The oonntry is reasonably thank ful that the names, Dewey and Aguinaldo, have disappeared. V -.. ... The coming summer will be a hot one. It will be a season of presi dential and state campaigning. --■»•►-« Politicians are just as apt to be hypocrites as chnrch members, and on a deuoed sight bigger scale. —- -— -.. The World-Herald’s editorial page makes np in display whatever it may lack in quantity and quality. --- .. American soldiers write from Manila of the "novelty” of sleeping in churohes. It’s nothing new to sleep in church. -- «»►«■- ...— As a matter of fact it matters mighty little whether J. H. Edmis ten is the fusion candidate for auditor or some other fellow. Eves says he "laughed it off as a joke.” And he has created more laughter and ridicule than any other victim of a joke of the season. If the English at Ladysmith are frightened from their stronghold by Eves’ heartrending howl for pap a good mission will have been accomp* lished. ----- Mrs. Catt is the name of the new president of the Woman’s Suffrage association, whereat some cynical cuss is liable to remark that the far will fly. The British have nowhere of to boast even if they thrash the whole of south Africa, much less over the taking of the brave Cronje and his gallant three thousand, who stood out so well against fifteen time their number. To Editor Eves: Your attention is called to a set of resolutions adopted at a populist mass meeting held in Ewing last week which we print in another column. Great is your ’fluence, Eddie! The Inter-Ocean shows up a million dollar steal of Carter Har rison’s as mayor of Chicago. The World-Herald threatens an expose of robbery by Mayor Moores of Omaha. Here are a brace of cities that rival the devil in wickedness. Omaha Bee: The three popo cratic do-nothings who constitute ' ' board of transportation breathe easier now since the rail roads have generously tronsferred the rate controversy from their jur isdiction to the United States court. The populists, having repudiated the Independent, are without an official organ at the county seat. The Frontier is still the official organ of the republican party and the county and publishes all the news. Now is the time to subscribe. Fifteen men ought to crush one man out of existence in a very short time. That is just the number of British to each Boer at Paarderberg, and it took the fifteen men a solid week to down their man. Here is a people that should be free, my countrymen. -- »—■-— The Frontier has received a good deal of free advertising in the In dependent’s cheap columns the past two weeks. The Independent got two out of seven. If we bad re ceived such a bump from our own crowd we would at least be wise enough to keep still. Mr. Jones, he of the democratic committee,is a corporate individual of some size. He is in the cotton trust in the person of the American Cot ton company. When Mr. Bryan re ferred to the '‘robber’s roost” at Jersey City the other day Mr. Jones never winked an eye. Oom Paul Eves raised his clarion voice a pitch higher, scowled a wrinkle harder and yelled his best last week. This howl for pap is a genuine trait of the Nebraska re former. The Independent has been a pap sucker ever since its birth and it squeels like a pig when taken from the tit —«-» —» ■»- - State Journal: The moat un reasonable man we know of is a fellow who spends all his money for booze and occasionally beatB his wife because he finds nothing to eat m the house when he comes home. His wife is the most unreasonable woman in the world for continuing to live with such a brute. -- The democratic national convention will be held at Kansas City on July 4. It is presumed this reverred and patriotic date was selected upon that inspiring invironments might he thrown about those who are ex pected to indulge in fervid denouno* iation of republicanism and ex pansion on that occasion. . — »«»»•«— A democratic friend suggests that free trade will kill the trusts. Un doubtedly. Free trade has a decid edly killing effect as shown by ex periments a few years back. Free trade came near killing every in dustry in the country except the free soup house and it would prob able work the same again. The democrat is right this time—free I trade will kill the trusts. - ' ( iMM ' IfWV' AMAAAAAAAAA, NATIONAL MATTEBS U Washington, D. C., Feb. 24. The democratic national committe e has been in session here this week. W. H. Thompson, the nonpareil giant, is the member from Nebraska who has been here to help deliber ate. The German voters of the country were anxious to have the convention go to Milwaukee, but the committee turned them down and decided in favor of Kansas City. Governor Poynter has been here this week. It is said that he hurried away from Lincoln because the pop ulist committee was going to meet there. He knew they would have a fuss among themselves and he did not care to take the part of either faction, so he left town before the trouble began. He was pleasantly entertained here by the Nebraska colony. _ Some of the southern congress men have been claiming that the national banktng system was all in favor of the north and that the sooth was being held down in varions ways. They said that the country ought to return to the old state bank system in order that prosperity might visit the south. This led to an investigation of conditions and it is found that in thirteen southern states since the election of McKinley the individual bank de posits have increased over $110,000, 000, and that in manufactures and commerce the improvement has been 100 per cent. in three years. The growl comes only from two or three dyspeptic congressmen. The southern writers are all playing a different tune. Charles E. Magoon of Nebraska, who is solicitor for the war depart ment, has just written a long and careful opinion on the legal Btatus of the territory and inhabitants recently acquired. He holds that it requires additional congressional action to make citizens of the in habitants, and that the Malays may he excluded the same as Chinese are now. It seems that the treaty with Spain did not give full citizenship to the inhabitants, but expressly said: “The civil rights and political status of the native inhabitants of the territories hereby ceded to the United States shall be determined by congress.” Without congression al action they are like other inhab itants who become citizens either by birth within the Udited States and allegiance thereto, or by compliance with naturalization laws. On this question Magoon cites many learned authorities. The argument is being made on the floor of the house, however, that the United States having acquired the territory by the treaty should admit the Porto Ricans and their products to full fellowship at one fell swoop without action by eongress, while the Philippines, which were ac quired in the same way and at the same time as the “bolo members,” as they are called, think that they ought to be turned over to Aguin aldo. The researches of the war department solicitor developed the fact that when Jefferson expanded the country and acquired Louisiana the inhabitants were not at once made citizens; that the “divine right of citizenship has never been ex tended to inhabitants of territories or the Distaict of Columbia; the emancipation of the negros did not make them complete citizens. Hence the new inhabitants are not yet citizens. H. Norfolk News: Ik is suggested, gratuitously of course, that if Mr. Bryau has sufficiently reformed the east and got the solid south into line be had netter return home to look after his fences in the west. Here the populist committee has just met iu his own state, in bis own town, and—due no doubt to his absence—split wide open, leaving as his firm supporters a small minor ity. The two factions have gone off on a tangent and it will be exceed ingly difficult*to induce at least one of them to again taks shelter under the fusion wing. If his reason for staying away was because he was ashamed to be seen affiliating with his populist friends for fear of hurting the tender feelings of his eastern love, he should have in some manner indicated his undying devo tion to the party largely responsible for his introduction to the country. Then there is L N. Stevens of Den ver, formerly vice chairman of the national silver party, whose work in 189G was a feature of the campaign. This gentleman haj assumed the managing editorship of a republican daily. He, in common with Mr. Sewall and and Mr. Sibley, acknowl edges his mistake on the money question in ’96 and renounces it as of no consequence. Surely Mr. Bryan must see that an immediate rear-platform campaign is imper ative. Delays are dangerous. Wil liam, haste to the rescue! -- The public school system of the United States is counted the best in the world. But that is no argument why it should not be better. Students are what the books and instructors make them. The tendency is to develop a race of Greeks and Rom ans in the public, schools of the United States. Greek and Roman studies form a large part of the high school course, and how can it produce anything but Greeks and Romans. The school courses should be revised in this particular. If the Cincinati and Sioux Falls populist conventions both are to nominate ^Mr. Bryan why not get together in one convention and do the job. Start the Year Right.

Being published at the state capital it prints more news of in terest to Nebraskans than any other paper in the state. Many of its patrons have been subscribers for over a quarter of a century. The Journal has built up a tremendous business by its puBh and energy and the paper stands at the head of the column. Its daily and Sunday issues not only contain all the current news of the world, but are filled with special features.- The Semi-Weekly Journal, which by many is called “the farmers’ daily,” gives 104 papers a year for $1.00 and is one of the greatest bargains ever offered readers. The year 1900 will be a record-breaker with The Journal, as 1899 has been.
