Six Months, .r 00 2 50 10 5 tl 00 50 THE LARGEST CIRCULATION Of any Cass County Paper. Goverxok Altceld is billed to explode on St. Jackson's day in Chica go. An outsider would suppose, from the rcceot vote of Illinois, that the governor would gracefully subside, but it seems not. Aldekmas Madden, one of Chi cago's "machine" office-holders, was thought to be a dangerous candidate for the Illinois senatorship a few days ago, but it seems that tho people are stronger over there than the machine and Mr. Madden is likely to receive a black eye. Uox. John A. Bingham, of Cadiz, O., who is now in his eighty-second vear, has the distinguished honor of having shaken bands with LaFayette Mr. Bingham has been one of the most prominent of Ohio's many statesmen, whose personal memoirs would bo of great interest, he having been in pub lie life for more than half a century. A Canadian commission has been appointed to visit Washington and try to secure more favorable commer cial relations with this country. The wealth and prosperity on the United States' side of the line, as compared with the Canadian wealth and pros perity, makes up a very pretty argu ment in favor of our protective tariff The Federation of Labor has adopted stirring resolutions in favor of the recognization of Cuba. Uncle Sam may dislike to have war with Spain, but the American people are so near unanimously in favor of help ing Cuba that war or no war, the rights of the little island should be recognized without delay, and let the blame rest wherever it would belong, From a populist paper wo read the other day this country contains a million idle men, and war witti Spain would give them employment, wliil we might take Cuba to foot tho bill. It looks very much is though w with Spain was inevitable unle Spain backs down and grants the the Cubans their independence. The matter may drift along for a time, but with the feeling shown in America there can be but one result. Aubuckle Bros., the millionaire coffee merchants, who haveibeen con trolling prices for years on that article got mad at the sugar trust and to the edification of the public, these eigan- tic aggregations of capital seemed ready to have a contest which meant lower prices for both coffee and sugar. The Arbuckles began erecting an im mense refinery and the sugar trust has purchased tho Woolson coffee and spice plant at Toledo which is the largest in tho country and was the chief competitor of the Arbuckles. Just as we begin to look for lower prices, however, a rumor comes float ing along to the effect that a truce is being patched up and the people will continue to pay tribute to these two institutions which are a disgrace to civilized government, ana whose methods of extorting money for com mon necessaries of life ought to be made a criminal act punishable by both fine and imprisonment. Even out in Utah there are doubt ing Bryanites who fail to 6ee the evi dences of improved business condi tions since the eletion of McKinley, which moves the editor of the even ing Press at Ogden, to say: "Good or bad times commence in the east. It will be recollected that the hard times and the panic of 1893 did not reach us for two months after they commenced east. All the reports are that times have revived wonderfully in the east since election. Even in Utah they are better. It is not prob able that the work on the Pioneer Electric Power company's project would be running now if protection had been defeated. Already loans have found their way into Utah as a result of the election. The farmers have sold their wheat high, laborers have already found employment. Of course, cold weather is a poor time to expect great results." The Cuban imbroglio continues the chief topic of conversation in official circles. as well as with the general public. Secretary Olney has taken a decided stand against recognizing the belligerents and informs the honorable senate that the resolutions proposed will have no effect on the chief executive. In the opinion of a majority of tho people Mr. Olney has not shown any great degree of statesmanship in the stand he has taken, and the sentiment of the country will continue to favor the struggling Cubans. The butchery which goes on daily under the guise of war, is a disgrace to American civilization and it bids fair to con tinue unless this government comes out squarely favoring the recognition of these unfortunate patriots. It looks as though no proclamation would be issued, however, until Major McKinley is installed as president r IDATIO i i be fourth state to grant complete woman's suffrage Colorado, Utah and Wyoming being- the other three. FOUR Cincinnati newspaper men have started for Cuba, not to write, but to fight. If they get a chance they probably will put a few leads into Weyler's nonpareil columns. Ex- IF ALL the states were as populous as Massachusetts their aggregate population would be 1,118,045,000. And vet one of tho standing needs of this country is more Massachusetts people. Governor-elect Tanner of Illin ois, in the a. King of all appointments where democrats are to be represented, says he will only recognize gold demo crats, as the silver brand are only populists, anyway. An American corre&pondeut has interviewed Dr. Zertucha, and the latter says he did not betray Maceo. If the doctor had said anything else he ought to have been locked up in an insane asylum at onca. Ex. It is said that more than $2,000,000,- 000 has been paid to pensioners by this government since lfcGo. This is indeed an immense sum of money, but we find that within the same time a much greater amount of property has been consumed by fire. CONGRESS seems to have been fore warned of the appetite of some of the Nebraska members and has voted to exclude liquors from the capital. A side-pocket with flask will doubtless soon be very fashionable at the na tional seat of government. It has already leaked out that W. J. Bryan intends to succeed Allen for senator two years hence, providing a demo-pop legislature cau be elected. The D.:mon and Pythian relationship that has heretofore existed between Messrs. Allen and Bryan is likely to receive a cold chill when the Ne braska senator awakes to the real sit uation. Even though populism should succeed, which is not likely, Allen will find that his term of usefulness as a United States senator from Ne braska is ended. WHEN Allen of Nebraska introduced his resolution to in vestigate tho late presidential election to Gud out if pos sible how it happened, Morgan of Ala b.ma turned pale and almost disap peared under his seat. Ttey will not bo at all anxious down south to have Mr. Allen's proposition go through, Aim such aiueuum -Lts as would cer tuiuly be suggested in the houie io nave it extend to the in vetig li..u ol Oitilot box otuUintr as well as to out ing arouud among the campaign ex penses. State Journal. Being a keen lawyer and business man, Joe Choate of New York, when he wrote a letter recently to the union league dub, consenting tostand as a candidate for the senate next winter, throw in a remark that amounts to a pledge that if he is elected he will not leave the party be fore the close of his term. This hint ought to be taken all around the cir cle for the benefit of inchoate Tellers, Mantles, Pettigrews and Duboises. The republican party has been vic timized by this bunco game a good deal in the past and it might be well for it to introduce a new sort of pri vate oath of office for United States senators chosen under its auspices. Slate Journal. California bobs up again with a new candidate for a place in Mr. Mc Kinley's cabinet. Congressman Hor ace Davis is the man, and he is said to have the endorsement of Senator Per kins and the other republican congress man from that state. The strife will be between Davis, Editor DeYoung and Judge Waymire. Mr. Davis is the president of the University of Cali fornia, and has been a prominent busi ness man in San Francisco. The place selected for him is that of secretary of the ioterior. It is thought McKin ley is anxious to recognize the Pacific coast by giving a cabinet position to a representative of that part of the country. It seems to be deanitely set tled that Congressman Dingley will get into the cabinet as secre tary of the treasury. This makes Congressman Grosvner of Ohio the republican leader in the bouse, a posi tion which Mr. Grosvner is very capable of filling with credit to him self and party. INFORMATION AND OPINIONS. The Lincoln postoflice fight has quieted down and our old friend II. M. Bushnell is generally recognized as the next postmaster of Lincoln. This office carries a good salary and wo are glad to see a worthy newspaper man get his just deserts in this life, as mst of the boys by force of circum stances are compelled to wait for generojs approval until they reach the next world. So far this term of the district court Judge Ramsey has disposed of ninety cases. When the term is through there will be but about twenty-five of the old cases left on the docket to dis pose of. Had the lawyers been ready with their cases a great many more of the cases could have been disposed of. Judge Ramsey is making a record that no judge in this district has ever as yet been able to equal. Nebraska City News. O. E. Miller, whose picture has been conspicuous in all the great news papers as an advertising physician. must have been a hummer iq his way. 1 1 turns out that he has overdrawn his account with a bnk in Denver to tho amount of $123,000, with not a penny of assets to make good his over-draft. A cashier and president who do busi ness in that way ought to have a season of mental rest for tho remain der of their days behind the bars. Charles R. Crisp was elected to con gress at a special election held Wed nesday to succeed his father, the late Speaker Crisp of Georgia. Kleptomania is a very peculiar malady only those burdened with wealth have ever been known to suf fer from it at least the courts have so held and of course the courts must be right. Who wouldn't be proud of Nebraska in such weather as this healthful and invigorating. People whose coal bins are low seem to be specially f.ivored. Cornelius Vanderbilt is worth several million but he has lost the use of his right hand and his physical con dition is bad. The chances are that Mr. Vanderbilt would be willing to change places, physically and financi ally, with some of the Nebraska ed itors. This is comforting anyway. You may find honesty among thieves, truth among liars and wisdom among fools, but you'll never find a spark of manhood, womanhood or principle in the meddler. The thief may chronicle the truth by mistake, the fool may say wise things by accident, the man who noses around and mixes up in other people's affairs will remain the same contemptible, unprincipled cur. Ex. The expenses of teaching in the Omaha schools for one year amount to $18:2(5 per capita; while the ex penses in the Plattsmouth schools figure up a little less thau $8., which is certainly a remarkable showing. e believe the work hero in every department is fully as good as that secured in Omaha, for which the school Doard and Superintendent Mc Ilugh are deserving the thanks of the tax payers of this city. The citjT of Jacksonville, Fla., has a pretty good investment in its electric plant For comrLercial lighting it gets an income of $1,000 a month, the cost of the plant having been $100,000. in addition it gets its street lighting which at the uual charges would cost about $17,800 a year, but which now costs nearly nothing after deducting interest aud operating cost from the $12,000 income, Ex. A new jury law goes into effect on J ; nu i y 1, m-xt, and as a eonseq uence, the pre en urm of cou-t is tfio last out to Oi- w -: ri. a by tne opt r timis of iho unsatisfactory st.. lute which be came operative a year ago. Under this new law the judges, at the recent election, selected both grand and petit jurors to the number of 475, seventy five of them being for the first named body and the balance for the trial body. In addition to this number, 150 names were set out f.-ora the poll list in Glenwood township to be know as the talesman list. The auditor, clerk and recorder will draw from this list of names as they have for merly done from tho list of all the voters, and the names which come from the box shall constitute the jury for the term drawn. The advantage of this law over the old one fs obvious. The 400 names for trial jurors are not selected at random, but are chosen by the election officers with special refer ence to their fitness for the position. It is anticipated that the new law will prove most highly satisfactory. Glenwood Opinion. Farm for Sale. 240 ncre farm three miles from Plattsmouth, one mile from Mynard, Cass county, Neb.
