Ewing Advocate: We are often told that the poor should be thank fol that they have the rich to give them employment. But did you ever realize that if there were no rich there would be no poor. In which case there would be nobody. - *-—-. The leaders of defeated populism in Nebraska, it is announced, are promulgating a ocherne to move with a colony of the faithful to a southwestern territory, secure statehood and capture the offices. This is circumstantial evidence that they have no hopes of restoration in Nebraska. The members of the oncoming legislature have not solicited our advice, but we cheerfully give the same without being asked. For the good of the state and to avoid em barrassment of the republican party it is the part of wisdom to pass up candidates on whom the cloud of suspicion and reproach may be cast. The surface indications in France on the occasion of the visit of Pres ident Kruger are very flattering to the Boors. France has ever showed an active sympathy for struggling people when her hated enemy, England, has been the oppressing power. Through the enmity of France and England, much ban been accomplished in behalf of human liberty. ------ Seeing its party shorn of power and sitting wrapped in the weeds of widowhood, the Independent raises its pointed carcass from the wallow and hurls a half column of slime at Governor-Elect Deitrich. The In depent's article was not only de cidedly out of place but was willful misrepresentation. The Independ ent will make friends fast by maligning the man who the people of Nebraska chose for governor. --— Plain-Dealer; The Frontier just got nicely woke up last week aud began to crow lustily for republican victory all around. What was the matter with them just after election ? The Frontier has contracted the habit of circulating reliable informa tion ai^d when that is not at hand it says nothing. There is no delight to writer or reader in making claims that the next twenty-four hours may prove a lie. Now is the time to subscribe. Mr. Rosewater is working the strings hard to get into the senate. The vote he received may be inclined to flatter, but it can hardly be called an expression of. choice as but the one natne appeared on the ticket and any man even from obscurity might have received as many votes under similiar circumstances. There is a question in the minds of a good many republicans as to Mr. Rose water being entitled to such recog nition, but whatever any man’s personal choioe may be, it is only fair to say that Mr. Rosewater would be a power in Washington, as he is in Nebraska. The Chicago papers are stirring up the many nests of vice in that city of worldliness and sin. Mayor Har rison iB charged with conniving with the dive keepers aud is responsible for the present reign of licentious ness in the Sodom of America. For instance, the mayor ordered that a nest of notorious places be closed at uight, and when the keepers waited on him in a committee of protest he withdrew the order, and thus thousands of men and women con tinue to drink themselves drunk and spend the hours of night in revelry and debauch along Chicago’s, most public thoroughfares. Brighter Prospects. The Omaha Bee of Saturday con tained the following: Washington, D. C., Nov. 23— Special Telegram.—Notwitstanding this being cabinet day, President McKinley deferred calling the mem bers of the official family together uutil he had concluded an interview with Mr. E. Rosewater, editor of the Bee. Mr. Rosewater arrived in Washington this morning from New York, where he has been in attend ance upon the annual meeting of the Associated Press, and called at the White House. President McKinley was most profuse in his congratula tions on the reclamation of Nebraska and recalled the fact that Senator Hanna had told him in Ohio during October that Mr. Rosewater had predicted a very close vote in Ne braska with the chances in favor of the republicans. “I was just a little afraid that you might have been carried off by your invironmeuts when I heard that you predicted a republican victory in Nebraska,” said the president to Mr. Rosewater. “That is not my reputation at home,” replied Mr. Rosewater. “On the contrary, I am considered de cidedly conservative in my forecasts, and, if anything, I give the enemy more than they usually get.” President McKinley then stated that the victory was far reaching and would undoubtedly redound to the credit of the state. He said that while Nebraska is pretty well taken oare of now, under the new order of things, having returned to the re publican fold, it might reasonably expect even greater consideration and that the election of two republi can senators would go far toward bringing such conditions about. -- America’s Mechanical Superiority. (Globe Democrat.) The London Chronicle gives a fine tribute to the excellence of United States workmanship as shown in the international exposi tion of 1900. “The American ex hibit in Paris,” says that journal, “is incomparably liner than the British, and even there their great superiority in the very small tools \vas not fully brought out. It is useless to urge that Great Britain is poorly represented, for it would be difficult to find the materials in England to make a good show. There are at least four firms in America making a specialty of small accurate measuring appliances, and, so far as we know, there is not one in England making them systemati cally at all.” These words, written just before the Paris Exposition closed, are in line with expressions from other British journals and from French and German papers. Iu mechanical appliance of almost every variety the American exhibits surpassed those of the rest of the world. This su periority, as intimated by the Lon don Chronicle, was especially great in the smaller tools, and in the ap pliances for measuring and gauging. The American exhibitors in those lines carried off many of the choicest prizes of the exposition. The advertisement of American skill thus given will be of high value to this country. It was at the Philadelphia exposi tion of 1870 that America’s super iority in many of the mechanical arts first began to be revealed'prom inently to the world. But the country has made great advances since then. This was shown very plainly in the>exhibits made in Chic ago in 1893. It will be still more impressively displayed in the St. Louis World’s Fair of 1903. Com petition between the great industrial nations of the world is more active at this moment than it every was before, but the United States is maintaning its lead in the mechani cal arts. This is one of the reasons for the immense increase in the exports of all sorts of manufactures which is under way. The internat ional exposition iu St. Louis two and a half years hence will be an eloquent revelation to the world of American supremacy in many fields of labor. Ellen Terry’* Discovery. Miss Ellen Terry, who was recently at Dorsetshire, has awakened society to what may prove to be a new fad, namely, brine baths. Miss Terry is taking brine baths. She has discovered that by this process of bathing the worn-out cells of the body are reju venated. Society is much interested in the discovery and many prominent society women are following Miss Ter ry's example. Deadly Franco-German War. Official figures show that in a force of 25,960 officers and 862,800 men en gaged it the Franco-Prussian war, the battle l^ses were 1,650 officers and 26,627 men, while 144 officers and 10. 942 men met their deaths from dis ease. aerial fire truck. A Pretty Jolly Sort of Toy for tho Amusement of Bigger Boys, Somewhat different from the toy en ?ine or truck that the small child drags ibout on the sidewalk by a string is '.he aerial fire truck, as It is called, made for the amusement of bigger toys. This apparatus, exclusive of the '.ongue. Is about six feet in length, the wheels being a foot or more in height The tongue handle can be grasped Hy 'wo boys, constituting the team, or a Irag rope can be made fast to It, so that more boys can tally on to whoop | the truck along. There are two lad | iers to this truck, lying one upon the •>ther, and carried like the ladders on ! i Are truck. There is a seat for the iriver, this seat being so made that it fits down upon the top of and over the ladders as they lie upon the truck when not in use. When the ladders ire to be used the seat is thrown off. The two ladders really constitute nn ixtension ladder, which can be raised •o a height of about twelve feet, the -aising being done without removing •.he ladders from the truck, by the op eration of two cranks. Turning one :rank raises the two ladders, lying as 'hey are one upon the other, to the de dred position upright; turning the ither crank raises the ladder that had been uppermost as they lay on the ruck upward now in extension. The aerial truck is sold as a plaything for ;ity use, but it is more often used iround a country place, where there is more room and oportunity for its uhe. In such a place, where a lot of young iters can yank the truck off on the lead run to some bam or high wadi, there to raise the ladders in a great lurry, while a boy mounts to ibs top with a pail of water, they ins'Jage to ;et a great deal of fun and excitement >ut of it. | The first time that there were any demonstrations of a spectacular order in a presidential campaign was in 1840, (when miniature log cabins were drawn on wagons in the Whig processions, escorted by companies of men in coon* skin caps, and some in the garb of In dians, all 6f which were suggested by the early life of the candidate, William Henry Harrison. Companies of men dressed as pioneers appeared in the Fremont processions in the campaign of 1856, and “prairie schooners” were a feature of these demonstrations, illus trating phases in the life of the Path finder of the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas. In 1860 the Republicans had companies of rail-splitters, to repre sent Lincoln in one of his activities as a young man on the frontier. The most picturesque and distinctive feature of the Republican parades in that year, however, were the “Wideawakes.” This order originated in Hartford, Conn., and was not suggested by Lincoln’s own candidacy, for one of the Hartford “Wideawake” clubs was formed before Lincoln was nominated and escorted him to one of the halls in that city, where he made a speech, on his visit to the east in February, 1860. At that time Seward’s nomination was be lieved, in the eastern states, to be ines timable. The “Wideawake” idea quick ly spread all over the north after the nomination of Lincoln and Hamlin in May of that year, and it is estimated that there were more than 200,000 ’Wideawakes" in the free states in that canvass. In the canvass in 1880 clubs of Boys in Blue were formed to commemorate Garfield's service in the union army, and in one procession in New York, which was reviewed by General Grant, over 50,000 participants of this order appeared. It was the largest procession on either side seen anywhere in the Unl>d States in the canvass of 1880. All these campaign clubs, except the “Wideawakes” and the Boys in Blue, originated in the west, and. with the exception of these two orders, by far tho largest of the processions took place in the west.— Leslie's Weekly. DEPEW'S BAD FRUNCH. Causes Him Trouble Which Results In s Kiss. Having found a purse on the floor of a hotel near an armchair, where he had seen a pretty girl seated a short time before, Senator Depew deposited the purse with the hotel clerk in a leading hostlery in Paris. An hour later, being on the street near the ho tel, the senator recognized by the light of a Btreet lamp, the same girl hurrying home fr""n her call. Desirous of saving her aD <ty when she discov ered her loss, •. senator walked briskly after her, and when he had reached her side addressed her in his politest French. The girl, thoroughly frightened and not understanding him, shrieked for help. The kindly senator tried to pacify her, and as she per sisted in her failure to comprehend, and in crying out for assistance, grew vehement and scared her all the more. Finally the foolish maiden ran to a policeman who had appeared on the scene and appealed for protection. It was only after a long wrangle that the stupid officer of the law, zealous to appear in the light of the rescuer of a woman in distress, would admit the possible truth of Senator Depew’s laborious explanations. The hotel be ing near, the policeman finally con sented to accompany Mr. Depew and the lady there, sticking close to the lady all the way. The purse, which contained a large sum of money, was returned to the young woman by the clerk, and she, understanding at last, Impulsively threw her arms around the senator’s neck, and kissed him on the cheek. i . - The Kind You Have Always Bought isos UNION PACIFIC Tiijte is Moisey.
