THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
President Cleveland's message ap
peared in public print this mornine.
It is really a very common-place state
ment of public affairs. Tbo president
continues to prefer words of six sylla
bles to express meanings that would
be more clearly expressed in words of
one making of the document a rather
bombastic and high-sounding state
ment. It is so long an account,
dealing with details of many subjects,
that the general public will never
take time to read It through. While
the message does not contain much to
be seriously condemned, yet it con
tains nothing to be really commended.
The reference to Cuban affairs is not
what the people had a right to expect.
The butchery of Weyler has continued
without objection, and the American
people, we believe, ftvor decisive ac
tion in the matter, as was clearly evi
denced by congress. In this matter
the president seems to be very
squarely on the fence. He deplores
the butchery, but refuses to take the
part of the struggling Cubans by ac
knowledging their belligerency. One
of the most serious questions in which
the people generally are interested
that of the deficiency in the national
revenues was passed over as it
trifling matter of but little import.
All in all, the message, we believe
19 a disappointment even to Mr
Cleveland's friends.
Leedt, the new pop governor of
Kansas, seems to think he is gover
nor of the United States. His time
since the election is being given to
the spreading of the silver proga
gatida as zealously as if poor old Kan
sas could cut any figure in revivifying
the corpse. Leedy's friends ought to
ask him to subside.
Spain continues to bristle up and
the president's message did not seem
to allay the feeling of Spanish hostil
ity to this government. It is a pity
when an opportunity could so easily be
afforded not to let the ancient grandees
smell American powder, when we
could do so with profit to ourselves
The next president, who did not send
a substitute to the front, but went in
person, may conclude for the general
good, to give the Spaniards a thorough
trouncing.
New York City has paved thirty
five miles of streets with asphalt
since January 1 and claims to have
saved $542,000 on the price of it as
compared with the figures under the
Tammany administration. But just
think of it, how much Tammany has
lost. It is also said that the obnoxious
Raines liquor law has already col
lected from the city of New York
iu,uuu,uuu. it Degins to iook as
though reform administration of af
fairs in New York City would prove
so beneficial that Tammany will have
a hard time getting back again.
TnE very sensational reports from
Cuba indicate that General Weyler's
days are numbered and that Cuban
supremacy is not far off. The worth
lessness of Cuban dispatches has been
shown so often, however, that little
credance can be given them. Tomor
row's telegrams may be entirely differ
ent and go to prove that Weyler has
captured everything in sight. The
American people would have a right
to feel deeply chargrined if the
Spanish should again succeed in their
attempt to take full charge of the
island. As opportunity has been af
forded to obtain possession of Cuba by
this country at comparatively small
cost, the American people generally
beiieve the opportunity should be im
proved. The idea of forcing fair elections in
the south sets the dough-faced demo
cratic press of the north howling wiih
denunciation and abuse of a measure
that would bring about such a result.
The Nebraska City News howls vigor
ously about McKinley's program in
cluding a measure of this kind. It is
very remarkable that a bill to brine
about fair elections in any part of the
country should meet with such strong
opposition from people who make a
pretense of being fair and honorable.
The south has intimidated and
counted out the majority for so many
years that we doubt very much if Mc
Kiniey will interfere with what seems
to please the minority of the south
and a great many of the people of the
north. However, a new light seems to
be breaking upon the southern people
and they are fast growing ashamed of
their rotten election methods, so that
it looks as though in time the matter
would, be righted at home without the
interference of the national govern
ment. It could have been righted
long ago had the states in the north,
where fair elections are held, opposed
those unsavory southern methods in
stead of supporting them almost
unanimously through the northern
democratic press. We shall await the
dawn of the new era with unfeigned
pleasure when the southern conscience
is quickened, and an election in Mis
sissippi is as free and fair as an elec-
tion in Nebraska. or
TnE fact that McKinley's vote in
Texas is double that given to Harri
son in 1892 shows a gain in that state
which is highly encouraging to repub
licans. As was natural to expect, the
principal part of the gain is in cen
ters of intelligence and progress, says
the Globe-Democrat. The large towns
and the farming districts, where the
j standard of education and general en
lightenment are highest, all give
largely increased votes, as comrared
with previous elections, to the repub
lican party. Among the new repub
lican recruits are thousands of men of
character and standing who have
hitherto been prominent in demo
cratic councils. The bt ains of the old
democracy is coming over to the re
publican side, and as a consequence
the state's credit will be increased,
and it will have new attractions for
capital and settlers. The popocrutic
lead in the state was in the neighbor
hood of 125,000, but if that combina
tion of Blandism, Altgeldism and
Dobsism has enough life left in it to
make a canvass in 1000 Texas will be
a very doubtful state.
The Omaha World-Herald deplores
the alleged fact that the "organs of
the defeated party in Nebraska" are
criticising the original and invigor
ating method of the pop brethern in
distributing pie in public a month be
fore they come into the offices. Bless
the Woild-Herald's 60ul, there has
been no carping criticism. Nothing
but subdued enjoyment of the dra
matic entertainment has been indi
cated so far as the Journal has turned
over its exchanges. Deprived of their
old roles as star actors on the stage,
republican newspapers eit in the
boxes?, tne galleries and the pit as the
audience, and applaud every good hit
made by the new company. Let all
tall hats be taken off so that an unob
structed view of the play may be af
forded us. State Journal.
Mark Hanna has finally declared
himself in relation to cabinet posi
tions by stating that the only occupa
tion he knows anything about for cer
tain is farming- therefore the onlv
place in the cabinet which he feels
competent to fill would be the secre
taryship of agriculture. The farmers
during the last campaign and a great
many of them still imagined Mark
was a plutocrat, bearing some rela
tionship to Wall street. We are glad
even at this late day to show by his
own statement that the farmer's job is
the one he feels at home in.
,-HHtxPeffer got back to Kansas
after the ele ction he found the climate
was a little frigid and to restore him
self to circulation he revoked his re
cent declaration that he would not op
pose a republican revision of the tar
iff during the present session. He
says he will cheerfully fight every
thing that the republicans want. But

One misfortune of the late election
seems to have been overlooked that
referring to the fact that Rainmaker
Wright, whoso party is in the ascen
dency now in this state, will be very
much in evidence all around trying
to find an office that will fit him

freaks that the populist party ever got

From a cursory glance at the presi
dent's message it is very evident that
he has not profited very much by his
four year's experience with free trade
low tariff.
Secretary Morton's recent re
port, that part of it relating to farm
mortgages, is interesting. It shows
that the statements of the populists
that the farms of the country are cov
ered with plasters is only imagina
tion. In point of fact 72 per cent of
the farms in the United States, occu
pied by their owners, are absolutely
free from mortgages or other incumb
rances, and a majority of the 23 per
cent of farmers whose farms are mort
gaged are solvent, are getting much
more benefit out of the money they
have borrowed than the rent they
paid for it in shape of interest. Lin

The worst public evil the people are
called upon to grapple with is the
combines known as trusts. They are
institutions of modern craft and are no
respecters of the government. Blaine
went to England for a study of that
country and when he returned he
reported England as being plastered
all over with trusts. These combina
tions of capital gather together for
the purpose of controlling the prices
on many of the necessaries of life and
must be checked as their greed seems
insatiate. How to do this best with
out losses to trade is and hue been a
very diffcult proposition.

A prize of $10 is offered to the one
who will best tell what he would do if

like to be tho wife of a noble, loving
man. Someone with flattery in their

the Journal. Some of the answers are
ludicrous, some are sensible, but most
of them show a decided yearnin

today in regard to the death of Miles

cattle that had strayed away, and he
was out in the wilds of Eight Mile

Mr. While, who was coming to Platts-
mouth with a team, of course, from

find his cattle that trip and accepted
Mr. While's invitation and rode into
town with him . He was, therefore,

William Morris and Music
Some idiot, says a writer in The Sat
urday Review, takes it on himself to as
sure the world that William Morris had
no musical sense. As a matter of fact,
he had a perfect ear, a most musical
singing voice, and so fine a sense of
beanty in sound (as in everything else)
that he could not endure the clatter of
the pianoforte or the squalling and
shouting of the average singer. When I
told him that the Amsterdam choir
brought over here by M. de Lange had
discovered the secret of the beauty of
mediaeval music and sang in with sur
passing excellence, he was full of regret
for having missed it, and the viol con
certs of M. Dolmetsch pleased him
greatly. Indeed, once during his ilness,
when M. Dolmetsch played him some
really beautiful music on a really beau
tiful instrument, he was quite overcome
by it.
I once urged him to revive the man
ufacture of musical instruments and
rescue us from the vulgar handsomeness
of the trade articles with which our or
chestras are equipped, and he was by
no means averse to the idea, having al
ways, he avowed, thought he should
like to make a good fiddle. Only neither
in music nor in anything else could you
engage him in any sort of intellectual
dilettantism. He would not waste his
time and energy on the curiosities and
fashions of art, but went straight to its
highest point in the direct and simple
production of beauty.
The Child of a Village,
All the scenes and atmosphere of one's
native village if one is fortunate
enngn o have been born in such a lo-
cality lie around the memory like the
horizon line, unreachable, impassable.
Even a socalled cosmopolitan man has
never seemed to me a very happy being.
and a cosmopolitan child is above all
things to be pitied. To be identified in
early memories with some limited and
therefore characteristic region that is
happiness. No child is old enough to be
a citizen of the world. What denatiou
alized Americans hasten to stamp as
provincial is, for children at least, a sav
ing grace. You do not call a nest pro
vincial. All this is particularly true of
those marked out by temperament for a
literary career. Literature needs for its

John Bauman, while riding

the road near Patrick Roddy's place,
north of the city, yesterday, was slmt
in the face and his horse was shot in
several places by hunters who wcro
n the timber near tho road shooting
quail. A single shot struck .John in
the face to the right of the no.-.c and
just below the eye, and it was with
ditficulty that it was gotten out. It
was a narrow escape for him, for had
the shot struck a little higher ho
would have lost an eyo. II niters are
entiiely too careless in shootir.g while
out hunting and it is a wonder that
there are not more serious accidents
