V X LABORING MEM! X.OS3 07 TX22XS X3 COBTXXI ALL the republicans need do in the present congress is to "keep in the middle of the road." IT is pretty conclusive that Sen tor Mattderson will secure the locn ion ol ti mint at Omaha. So mote it be. THE late Preston H. Plumb beg his career a a country printer. great many men commence th ei career in that capacity, but it rare occurs that they die as members the senate. SiNCB the appointment of Stephen R Klkins to the secretary of war hip, it has been discovered tha hi mother is buried in Nebraska City. The secretary's father was a citizen of Otoe county and agent o the Hen Holiday overland stage line during the civil war. The last resting place of the mother is marked by a simple marble slab. I.A Gk'IlTK is steadily spreading in this country. While its preva lence will probably become so gen eral that it may truly be called an epidemic, the disease is not conta- geous. It is caused by atmospheric conditions. Dr. Edson, one of the leading physicians of New York states that he believes there is no absolute preventive of the disease "The best advice I can give," he ays, "is, observe the general rules of health; try to avoid taking cold, and, if you have a cold, take good care to cure it. Always dress warmly, if possible with woolen garments. Above all, keep your digestive organs in good con dition." It is asserted upon good author ity that the Mills faction ot the democratic house propose to draft n taritf bill embodying the princi pies of the famous Mills bill of the Fiftieth congress, and urge its passage. Such a bill should properly be referred to the ways and means committee, but the plan of the free traders is to refer it to the committee of which Mr. Mills is chairman and thus secure a favorable report upon the bill Then it will be that the true demo cratic position will be known. It will be a contest in favor of the repeal of the McKinley law and the enactment of a free trade law on one hand and the retention of the McKiuley law on the other. Let the fight proceed. Neukaska teachers from both the city and rural schools, should be well represented at the State Teach er' Association w hich convenes at Lincoln to-morrow continuing over Thursday. A program bearing directly upon live school topics to be rendered by the educators of our state, has been prepared and the management announces that it will be carried out to the letter. Evening lectures will be es peceial features of the occasion, to be delivered by educators of na tional reputation. The most prominent of whom, probably, is lion. Andrew S. Draper, of Albany, New York, who lectures Thursday evening on the subject "Our Pub lic School System and General Ed ucation." This address alone will warrant the attendance of any live progressive teacher. We hope to see Cass county well represented at the meeting. THE ANNUAL MEETING. The Nebraska Press Association which meets at Fremont January Zi, should enroll a representative from every news paper in the state. The association has already con ferred great banefits upon the pro fession, bid there is a necessity for the manifestation of still a greater interest in the matter than ever be fore. This is an age of progressive . ness, and aa a means of acquiring helpful ideas that will aid in keep, ing pace with this onward and up ward march, meetings of this nature can rarely be excelled. The news paper men must keep out of th ruts. Get out by helping each other. Attend these meetings and thus make au effort to get this help. It is obviously au injustice to ones self and manifestely unfair to hi readers, for an editor to plod along endeavoring to learn the newspaper business thoroughly by actual finding out by experience, what he can learn by accepting truths that have been developed and firmly established heretofore. TAKE CARE I ST. JACOBS OIL, THE GREAT REMEDY FOR PAIN, cans RHEUMATISM, SpralBi, Brolies, Cats, Wounds, SoreaeM, StlffkMS, Swellings, Backache, Nei ralgla. Sciatica, Baroa, There are always splendid oppor tunities at these meetings ior par ticipanta to receive information that would probably require year to acquire by experimental know edge. Let us accept these deduc tions of wisdom, incorporate the into our work and bend our ener gies to mane discoveries of truth not yet accessible. Although assured as never before of countless coming bless ings from the coming crops, the country is even now halting and hesitating in its enterprise in a marked degree because of some undefined apprehension about the future financial condition. It is not unfair to attribute this feeling to the agitation respecting silver. This prevailingdoubt is, however. not without some good result. It has forced economy all over the land, restrained speculative opera tions, and prepared the way for the restoration of sound currency, What is thus saved and what is now certain to be earned through the gathered crops have together pro vided means and brought the country to a most favorable time when the silver law can be repealed with the least injury or incon venience. There is evidently a marked change in public sentiment upon this important subject which has so far progressed that neither of the great political parties will venture to avow itself distinctly in favor of the silver law of 1890, or to assume it as a party measure for the future Is it not, therefore, safe in policy and timely in principle now promptly to meet the issue, while so many favorable conditions exist, by repealing the law; and after that, to consider how the great mass of silver already purch ased can be disposed of with the least injury to all intercst.iuvolved in it? George S. Coe, iu the Janu nry Forum. Between tChiii and Scnor Garza, of Mexico, who is at the head of the revolution in that country the United States troops will have their haud full this summer. ACTIVE WORK FOR RUSSIAN RE LIEF. Governor Thayer and Labor Com missioner Ludden are actively at work i,n securing the proposed train load of corn to be sent to the famine sufferers of Russia. From dozens of points in the state re sponses are coming to the procla mation of the governor, and Mr. Ludden estimates that 2,003,000 pounds of breadstuffs will be donated by Nebraskans. Yesterday Governor Thayer received a letter from Governor Merriam of Minne sota, the letter stating that the millers' organization there had raised 1,000,000 pounds of flour for Russian sufferers. The letter sug gests that as the Russian charge d'atlairs had agreed to charter a steamer to take the supplies across the ocean, that Nebraska join with Minnesota in nuking up a ship oad. Gov. Thayer is in hearty ac cord with the idea that a, ship load be made up from a few western states but as the naval department las said that Nebraska and Minne sota can have the frigate Constclla- ion to take the supplies to St. 'etcrsburg at government expense the governor thinks that to be the preferable way of shipment. "I would like," said the governor, "to have the, contribution from this country go a free offering the on ire way and land in Russia in a ship carrying the American Colors. It would mHke the gift complete and much more satisfactory to the givers." Senator Paddock will oin with the governor in the ar rangement for shipping facilities and the governor hopes very shortly to be able to notify the many people over the state who have volunteered contributions list how and when to make ship ments.

The bishop of Adelaide of Australia certifies to the finding of a dead sea serpent sixty feet long on the beach.

Ckisi ii doing more for the republican party than ever Mills could have done, which causes the republicans to greatly rejoice. The Mills men say that Springer, the new head of the ways and means committee, is "neither a safe nor an efficient leader." The repub licans knew this all along, and this is one of the reasons why he suits them so well. The free trade leaders will have to look out or the south will soon begin to demand a McKinley bill for her special benefit. The leading democratic organ of South Carolina the Charleston News and Courier, favors a protective tariff on cotton mexicos revolutionists are causing considerable trouble just now on each side of the Rio Grande, but most of the trouble goes to the revolutionists themselves, as the United States troops and Texas rangers are after them as well as the government troops of Mexico. The record of 1891 will id al probability stand unbeaten for several years to come in the matter of wheat shipments to Europe, as the shipments have been much greater than ever before, and they would have beeu still greater if transportation facilities had been better. Less than a year ago three Ne braska congressmen went to Wash ingtou to ask congress for an ap propriation of $1,000,000 for the le lief of their destitute constituents. To-day those constituents are collecting a train load of grain to be shipped to the starving peas ants of Russia. Bee. Petitions are pouring into the national capital in steadily increas ing numbers urging congress to enact legislation for the free deliv ery of mail in the country districts and for one cent letter postage. Both projects are praiseworthy and they are almost unanimously de manded by the people of the nation Iowa State Register. The dispatches this morning look more like war with ;Chile than ever. They report that Admiral tiherardi will take charge of the naval forces and that General Miles will have charge of the land forces and that as soon as war is declared he will leave with 10,000 men from the regular army for Chili. These forces are to be taken from the frontier or western posts and their places supplied by the pnlisiment of western frontiersmen. TnE McKinley bill, now a law, will rank in importance and in its beneficial effect upon the country and its industries next to the Morrill Tariff bill. It embodies the doctrine of Protection to American industries. It adheres to the principle laid down by Washington, MadisOn and the founders of the government. It aims to protect home industries nnd home inte rests by laying a tax on all foreign products brought to this country to be sold in competition with American products and admitting free of tax or duty all non-compet- ng article brought here from other countries which cannot be success fully produced in the United States. t would be almost impossible to frame a perfect tariff bill, or one free from objections, or that would suit all interests. Taken all in all, however, the law just passed is a wise measure, framed in the inte rests of the whole people, American ndustries and home markets. Secretary of War Klkins. TIN-PLATE IN ILLINOIS.
