WllAT 18 the matter with the

The Nebraska state firemen are
in Beesion at Fremont. They will
name the time and place to hold
the annual tournament.
The defense of San Francinco is
not as strong as it should be, but if
war is declased with Chili, she need
not fear an attack as the Chilians
will be kept pretty busy around
home.
The patrons of the street railway
of Chicago, want a law passed com
pelling the street railway com
panies to furnish seats for all pas
sengers or else take no pay from
those who have to stand up.
The New York post office yielded
a net revenue of $4,080,411 last year.
This is attributable in large meas
ure to the fact thit the post office is
one of the liiir.ir in Kzx York that
tammany does not control. Globe
Democrat.
G rover Cleveland has gone
south to hunt alligators in the
Florida swamps, and to fish for the
southern democratic electoral vote
for prebident and it is hoped he
will have lots of sport even if he
does not catch the vote.
The two surpassing facts with re
gard to the federal finances are
that the public debt has been re
duced $259,000,C0O during the pree
ent administration, and that the
people have gained $50,000,000 in the
past year by reason of republican
tariff reform. Globe-Democrat
The war cloud still thickens and
it looks now as if Chili would open
the ball herself by opposing the
passage of the White fleet, under
command of Admiral Walker,
through the Straits of Magellan.
Admiral Walker has six vessels,
but no torpedoes, and Chili has
ent six vessels to the straits, one of
which is the noted torpedo boat
that blew up Blanco Encalada.
THE JUS r CAUSE OF WAR.
The Chicago Times is of the
opinion that a war with Chili would
cost a great deal of money, that it
might extend over much 4i me, and
that it would be unprofitable in re
sults. As to its first proposition,
the Times is quite right. War is a
costly undertaking. As to its
second proposition, it may be right;
it is for no man to measure exactly
the power of aa untried foe. As to
its third proposition, it is wholly
wrong. The one priceless posses
sion of a nation is its honor; this
would be maintained, even if the
event of war were against us. The
mau who strives to vindicate the
honor of his mother ut the peril of
his life is honorable, even if he lose
his life in the attempt. Be who
. j
does not strive to vindicate the
honor of his mother is base, t'ougi
he should save millions of dollars
and his life by his cowardice. "The
republic," said Cicero, "is the
mother of us all," and this clause of
the Roman creed is part of the faith
of America.
It is to be hoped that there will
be no war. Chili has not a foot of
land that this republic covete, has
not a dollar of which this country
would despoil it, has not a vessel
that this nation desires to capture.
That Chili may grow rich and popu
lous, that it may enjoy n stable
government, nnd that schools and
newspapers may multiply within
its borders is the wiHh oi the people
of the United States.
But since certain seamen of the
United Slates have been maimed
and have died on account of in
juries inflicted by a Chilian mob, of
which uniformed officials of that
republic were part, apology to this
nation and recompense to its
maimed citizens and to the families
of its slain ones is due. It is a due
that can not go unenforced witLout
loss of the national honor, and,
whether the Times believes it or no,
that is held by most Americana to
be the thing that must be preserved
at all costa and at all hazards.
Indeed, the preservation of national
honor has come to be considered aa
alinoHt the only just cause of war.

RAILWAY EMPLOYES.
It id estimated from the most
re :ent report of the statistician to
the interstate commerce com m in
sion that the total number of men
employed on the railways of the
United States during the year end
ing June 30, 1890, was 649,301, being
an increase over the number em
ployed the previous year of 44,558.
This increase is at the rate of 708
new men for each 100 miles of new
line brought into operation. It
raises the average employment on
railways in the United States from
459 per hundred miles of line in
1889 to. 479 men per 100 miles in
1890, being 'an inciease of twenty
men per hundred miles of line. By

La Grippe.
No healthy person need fear any
dangerous consequences from an
attack of la grippe if properly
treated. It is much the same as a
severe cold and requires precisely
the Bame treatment Remain quiet
ly at home and take Chamberlain's
Cough Kemedy as directed for a se
vere cold and a prompt and com-
plete recovery is sure to follow.
This remedy also counteracts any
tendency of la irrippe to result in
pneumonia. Among the many
thousands who have used it during
the epidemics of the past two years
we nave yet to learn ot a single
case that lias not recovered or that
has resulted in pneumonia. 23 and

CURIOUS WAR INCIDENT.

A few evenings ago Col. E. A.

French, s Philadelphia hanker and so
officer of lbs Signal Corps during the
war. Anionic the other guests were
some member of the local corps and
Col. John S. Musbj-, the well-known

contributed a number of articles to
the Century and other tnnirii zincs re
lHlin to his escape from Lihlir Prison,
and at the (I inner-table he narrated an
incident wbicli has not yet been pub
