The government appeal's to be in
earnest in getting at the facts con
cerning the charges of cruelty to the
Filipinos by certain American soldiers.
If the charges be true, the guilty ones
havebrought unretrevable shame upon
American arms, disgrace to the uni
forms they wear and the everlasting
contumely of the American people
upon their dishonored heads. A swift
and memorable example should be
made of every officer who had part or
parcel in the disgraceful and brutal
work.
The Independent of April 25 said
that “the county is legally entitled to
$290.38 from Mr. Stewart, and the
county is morally entitled to recover
$188.65 from the republican county
board, who, by their ignorance and
gross incompetency, have allowed
claims that were not legal charges
against the county through their
bullheaded stubborness In not asking
the advise of the county attorney.”
In its rantings about “republican in
compentency,” the Independent over
looks the important and very material
fact that this $188.65 dates back into
the years of poplsm on the county
board—1900-1901. Is the moral sense
Of former populist supervisors so
accuto that they will now step up
and pay the county 188.65?

M. F. Harrington has addressed a
communication to the state eqaliza
t4on board, asking them in the name
of fair play to shove up railroad assess
ments to somewhere near their valua
tion. Editor Rosewater of the Bee is
also working to the same end and has
gone before the board in person to
make an appeal for higher railroad
assessments. As a matter of fact the
state has long suffered a gross injus
tice in the matter of railroad assess
ments. While the value of railroad
property has been continually on the
increase their taxes have been steadily
lowered. There is no earthly nor
heavenly reason why railroads should
be given about two-thirds the best of
the private citizen in taxation.
Sidney Republican: Judge M. F*
Kinkald of O’Neill is making a deter
mined canvass of the big Sixth for
congressional honors. The judge has
friends in every corner of the district
who will be much in evidence at the
proper time. He made the race twice
twice under adverse circumstances
and now that the republican nomina
tion being equal to an election it
seems to the Republican that the dis
trict is yet under obligations to Judge
Kinkaid. He is an earnest and ener
getic campaigner and makes votes
wherever he goes, and to know him,
and to know him well, is only to ad
mire him still the more. He always
has that hearty handshake whether
he is on the bench or in private life.
He will be found a strong man in the
republican convention at Crawford.
A special from Thomaston, Me.,
announces that the Jackson club, the
first Bryan club organized in the
country, has repudiated the Ne
braskan and gilded its silvery banner.
When Bryan received the nomination
in 1896 the democrats of Congressman
Littlefield’s district, organized the
Jackson club. During the six years
that Bryan has been a national figure
the club stuck to him and free silver.
It was the last political organization
in New England to forsake 16 to 1.
Dr. G. L. Crockett, the club’s presi
dent, says: “Science has solved the
monetary problem and Bryan, like
Clay, Calhoun and Blaine, must die
with an unsatitied ambition.” The
leading democrats of the country are
fankly admitting the error of 16 to 1
and there is no show of the Chicago
platform ever being reared beneath
the democratic party again. _

THE FLAG WILL STAY THERE.
Chicago Inter-Ocean: “The repub
lic has put its flag in those islands,
and the Hag will stay there. The
flag will stay put!”
Such is Theodore Roosevelt’s answer
to the successors and imitators of
Clement L. Vallandigham in the
United States Senate and out, and it
is a true American answer.
If any of our soldiers, in dealing
with barbarous Malays, has exceeded
the legitimate usages of warfare witli
savages, he will be punished. The
republic’s justice and the govern
ment’s power will take care of him.
But the Hag will stay there.
^The Pattersons, the Rawlinses, the
Carmacks, the Dudoises, and their
like assume that the American peo
ple care more for low-browed Malay
savages than for their own kinsmen.
The assumption is false. Argument
with those who made that assump
tion is vain. But the flag will stay
there.
The President did well to voice the
feeling of the nation before a gather
ing of men who take pride in their de
scent from those who fought to make
this republic. His words are Ailed
with the spirit of ‘76 and of ’61.
In every national crisis in tlie past
there have been men who counseled
cowardice in the name of humanity
and submission in tlie name of peace.
But in every case tlie American peo
ple rose and said: “But tlie flag will
stay there. ”
And the Hag did stay there, victori
ous at Yorktown, triumphant at Ap
pomattox. Tlie flag is in the Philip
pines. The American people sent it
there, and they will keep it there.
Tlie insane extra vagence and wild
luxury of the Russian aristocracy is
primarilly the cause of that country’s
present troubles with her peasant
subjects. Even a brute will rebel
against a cruel and oppressive master.
ITEMS OF NEBRASKA LIFE
Socialists at Minden, Kearney coun
ty, have secured a building in which
to hold regular meetings once in two
weeks.
The West Point Republican tell of
two young nem of its town who have
started on a trip around tlie world
a-foot with a mule for packing the
luggage.
A hypnotist, in endeavoring to en
tertain an audience at Long Pine,
was hooted off tlie stage and chased
about town, all the while dodging bad
eggs threw good.
Robert Maxwell, a 13-year-old
Omaha boy, who was hit by a flying
sidewalk in the storm of April 25,
died Sunday night. His skull was
badly fractured and several teetli
were knocked out by the blow which
he received.
Eldon Peter, the 11-year-old son of
Frank Salts, residing one mile north
west of Beatrice, was shot through
the heart and instatly killed at his
home by the accidental discharge of a
thirty-eight-caliber revolver in the
hands of Clifford Shellaberg, 10 years
old.
William 15. Price of Lincoln, lawyer
prominent fusion worker, part owner
of an oil claimlin Texas and formerly
a clerk in the auditor’s office under
John F. Cornell, has been appointed
by Governor Savage to succeed J.
Sterling Morton as member of the Ne
braska commission for the Louisiana
Purchase exposition.
The Munson line steamer Olinda
has arrived from Cuban ports, bring
ing as passengers 19'J enlisted men of
die Tenth cavalry U. S A., who have
been stationed at Holguin, Cuba, for
nearly three years. The men belong
to troops 15, I), 1 and K, and are in
command of Captain R. J. Fleming.
They are enroute to Fort Robinson,
Neb.
The case wherein the state sought
to recover from former Secretary of
State Porter the money he appropriat
’d to his own use as fees, received by
virture of his membership in the
Brand and Marks commission, will
be appealed to the supreme court,
rhe fees taken by Mr Porter amount
ed to about $1,000. He didnt deny hav
ing accepted the money, but declared
that he had a right to it, and meant
to keep it.
C. K. Murphy, an aeronaut, be
lieved to be insane, leaped in front of
a rapidly moving trolley car in Omaha
Sunday evening. He was knocked
down by the fender and sustained
several severe bruises. He was taken
to the police stat ion and locked up,
charged with being insane. When
asked why he leaped in front of the
car Murphy answered that he was try
ing an experiment which he would ex
plain later.
The state board of compromise has
accepted $8,000 as full payment of the
shortage of $13,278.45 of ex-Treasurer
Lynch of Platte county. The board
adopted a resolution, stating that J.
W. Lynch, as treasurer of Platte
county, had collected for the state
$13,278.45, which amount he refused
to pay over when his term expired,
and that his bondsmen had offered
$8,000as a full settlement of theshort
age, which sum was accepted.
George Beck of Nebraska City went
to Omaha and fell among theives.
Sunday night in the red light district
he found a genial stranger who gave
his name as Ed and his address as
Fremont Neb. George and Ed be
came very friendly during the course
of the evening and they finally retired
at the Richlieu hotel, occupying the
same room. This morning Beck
awoke to find his bedfellow missing.
An inspection of his personal effects
disclosed the awful fact that they
were missing. Not only his gold
watch and $30 in money, but his new
suit of clothes, his hat, shoes, socks
and underwear were gone. Only
George and t he bed covers were left.
Peeking over the transcom as far as
was consistent with the rules of the
house, Beck called to a bellboy and
related the facts surrounding the de
pleted condition of his wardrobe. The
boy promised to do his best to assist
him. Half an hour later Beck, clad
in a pair of overalls and a frown, ap
peal’d at the police station, where he
told his troubles to the sympathetic
desk sergeant. The police gathered
together a few garments to make
George presentable. He left on the
first train for Fremont to look for Ed.
MATTERS OF NEWS.
Queen Wilheluima of Holland,
whose life had been hanging in the
balance for many days, is better.
A raft containing 11,000,000 of lum
ber, the largest ever floated, was re
cently taken down tlie Mississippi
river.
The bill to admit Arizona, New
Mexico and Oklohoma to statehood
was passed in tlie house Friday on a
voice vote without division.
Rear Admiral William T. Sampson,
retired, whose fleet sunk the Spanish
squadron at Santiago in theCuban war,
died at his home in Washington on
May 0.
Paul L. Ford, novelist, was fattally
shot at his home in New York on
Friday last by his brother Malcomb,
who then sent a bullet through his
own heart. 11 was the outgrowth of
long standing family differences.
Tlie weather in London is bitterly
cold and snow has fallen in various
parts of England. There have been
snowstorms in Cheshire and Lanca
shire, in Dover and other parts of
Kent and in Leicestershire and Nor
folk. ,
An anti-beef-eating league is being
organized among the 5,000 employes
of the General Electric company of
Lynn, Mass. Between 1,500 and 1,700
names have been secured, represent
ing 3,500 consumers. Dealers com
plain that tlie consumption of meats
is falling off rapidly.
The Sheraden yards at Pittsburg of
the Panhanble railroad was the scene
Monday evening of the most disas
trous explosion and tire known for
many years. A score of lives were lost
and about 300 persons were so badly
burned that, according to the judg
ment of physicians in attendance, 75
per cent of them will die from tlie
effects of their injuries.
A Chicago special of Friday says:
Proxies for the Chicago & North
western annual meeting, to be held
here June 5, are at a big premium to
day. A battle royal is being waged
for their possession, the contesting
parties being those now in control of
the property on the one side and the
Moores-Leeds-Gates interests on the
other. Books for the transfer of stock
for the annual meeting closed last
week, so that purchase of stock in the
open market cannot be made available
unless they carry proxies with them,
and efforts are being made to secure
the proxies without reference to pur
chases. Those now in control of the
property have awakened to the fact
that a big coup has been planned to
be accomplished at the annual meet
ing, and they are now putting forth
their strenuous efforts to pervent it.
When the books closed last week they
thought they were safe, but they
have since been convinced by indis
putable evidence that they are by no
means out of the woods. Large holders
of share are being importuned by
both sides to the contest for their
proxies, and valuable considerations
are being offered for them, with a
large number of stockholders refusing
to surrender their rights to either
sides at this stage of the proceedings.
Norway newspapers are printing
alarmist articles on account of the
recent increase in emigration from
Norway to the United States. It is
estimated that 30,000 Norwegians
have sailed to America this yefir, dou
ble the number for the same period
last year. Emigration has not assum
ed such proportions since the time of
the famine, forty years ago. Ex
tremely slack trade, heavy taxation
and a poor fishing season are given as
the causes of the exodus.
Fruit growers in northern Missouri
are much alarmed over the ravages of
the canker worm. Apple, peach and
cherry trees in many counties have
been entirely denuded of foliage by
the worms and in consequence the
the fruit crop is destroyed. The or
dinary solutions of paris green and
water and of copper sulphate do not,
in every instance, destroy the pest.
One orchard near Armour, where the
crop of apples for many years has sold
for $10,000, will yield nothing this
year.
Mine workers throughout the entire
anthracite coal regions of Penn
sylvania, to the number of 145,000,
formally begun their struggle Monday
for increased wages and shorter hours.
Never in the history of hard coal
mining has a tieup been so complete,
not one of the 357 collieies in the terri
tory being in operation. There is
every indication for the belief that
the suspension, which was to cover
only the first three days of this week, ■
will be made permanent by the 1
miners’ general convention which met |
at Hazeleton Wednesday.
The worst catastrophe that history
has been called upon to record since
the fall of ancient Pompeii befell St.
Pierre, the commercial capital of
Martinique, one of the largest islands
among the Lesser Antilles group
in the Carribean sea, southwest of
Porto Rico. Mont Pelee, a volcano
ten miles from St. Pierre, belched
forth clouds of lire and molten lava,
completely inundating the city and
the country for miles around. The
estimated loss of life is 40,000 with
not a single surviver to tell the tale
of the doomed city.
A baseball umpire out in Lincoln,
Neb., hit a player so hard that he
went home and died. The rules are
to be strictly enforced this year.
Many housewives are discovering
that their sons who can win prise cups
in golfing contests have not enough
strength to beat a 2x4 Smyrna rug.
Luckily for the good health of the
rest of the community, the story over
which a New York doctor laughed
himself to death is not being repeated.
There is a man in New Hampshire
who boasts that he lives on sixty-nine
cents a week. There’s a fellow who
can snap his fingers at the beef trust.
A jealous lover wrecked a house with
dynamite in Ohio the other day.
Strange to say, even that heroic meas
ure did not cause the lady to love him.
An Ohio man has run away from .
home to escape from people who want
to thrust a public office on him. Major
Pond’ll get him if he doesn’t watch
out.
In Germany they are now making
sugar from beets and gasoline from po
tatoes. They have not as yet been
able, however, to get blood out of a
turnip.
Since ping-pong was invented 8,000,
000 of the featherweight zylonite balls
have been turned out in London. And
their life since then has not been
an idle one.

Yale’s new launch, the Elihu Yale,
has been tried and found to be all
right. Perhaps a launch race between
the Elihu Yale and the John Harvard
would be interesting.
In Kansas they are killing prairie
dogs by turning jets of steam into their
holes. In these days of electricity .
this method seems extremely cumber
some and old fashioned.
F. Marion Crawford has just finished
a play called “Francesca da Rimini.”
Clyde Fitch is about the only play
wright we know of who has not as yet
written a “Francesca da Rimini.”
The esteemed Philadelphia Inquirer
may not have portraits of all the not
ables in stock, but this hardly justi
fies that paper in printing a cut of
Chief Justice Fuller of the United
States supreme court and labeling it
“Rear Admiral Coghlan.”
There is a great rush for member- .
ship in the new millionaires’ club
which is being started in London.
This is one instance in which even
the modest man would like to be in
the crowd.—Philadelphia Saturday

The Boston literary critic who has
compiled a list of what he calls the
fifty “best” American poems gives
thirty places to the authors of his own
