Attorney Genkkal Smyth in his motion for a now trial in tho B irt'ey case makes a strong: showing' in favor of tho theory that the jury has been tampered with, and every taxpayer not having a financial interest in tho defense, will hopo to boo Judge I'owell grant a new trial. THE gold reserve in tho national troasury is now over $200,000,000 and no bonds have been Bold, either. How do the popocratic prophets liko it V Their silver prophesoios aro of the same cloth as those which said Mc Kinley would have to issue bonds to keep gold, in tho treasury. Theke hasn't been a revolution in Central America for ten days, but wre are promised a big one right away which win involve costa inca, non- duras, iNicaragua,fcalvadorand L-uate- mala. The latin Americans have a habit of boiling over and lighting like pirates over trival matters. Judge Newell's name is mentioned of lato by his friends for tho mayor alty, and with his former experience in the ex cutivo chair he would make a most acceptable ollicor. F. II. Steimker, a man of storling integrity and sound judgmont,is also mentioned for the same position. Either of these gentlemen could be elected. John O. Yeiseb, who is better known as "HelloYeiser" since he got tangled up with tho telephone com pany, imagines he is candidate for gov ernor of the pop cohorts. John's high opinion of Yeisercuufortunately is not shared by tho general public and his boom will never get farther along than the kindergarten stage. THE New York Journal has become so unreliable a newspaper that it seems strange anyone should care to read the worthless sheet. The World- Herald of Omaha, which reprints its bogus Havanna dispatches that are written in New York, is so utterly unreliable that people who care to know the real conditions of affairs, must look to the State Journal or Bee for information. Your Uncle Sam has as good credit as any nation on the globe since he re fused to scale his debts and try to pay in a depreciated dollar. lie has a few hundred million now ready to use without issuing any bonds, and for tho first time in four years, the monthly balance sheet at the treasury shows an income a few millions larger than our expenses. We are all right when republicans are on deck with a tariff and honest money policy to en force. If Spain needs a little disci pline, Uncle Sam is tho fellow to ad minister it, and we shall only be glad of a good excuse for taking decisive action against the cruel Spaniards. Tiie government continues'to talk peace while night is turned into day at every ordnance factory, in an effort to put all of the twenty-four hours in. in the manufacture of powder and mu nitions of war. Tha investigations of the causes of the Maine disaster move slowly along while the Spaniards fume about what they will and won't do. War has not been declared except by the Yellow Kid Journal of New York, and it may not occur. If it does come, however, the United States will be found in perfect readiness to face any emergency. The policy of the presi dent has been safe and conservative and deserves tho unanimous support of the whole people. The Nebraskan who went to Massa chusetts and begun the manufacture of shredded wheat for the esthetic Bostonians, has made a fortune out of the venture, and now in memory of tho state which gave him a start in the world, he is turning his attention to a new product called shredded corn, which is said to be very fine. We certainly shall not envy him his wealth if he thereby doubles the con sumption of our chief staple as a table food product. The heart of the grain is extracted, and the balance is put through a steaming process and shredded. From the heart of "the grain, a fine article of oil is extracted and the residue is used for stock feed. The Review of Reviews which, bar ring the Cosmopolitan, was the only standard magazine in this country that apparently espoused the cause of Bryan and IG to 1 in 1896, lays down its arms and confesses that for all practical purposes the gold standard is as firmly fixed and as permanently a part of the republic as the Missis sippi river and the Rocky mountains, and that the whole civilized world is committed to it, and that further kicking is useless. The sane portion of tho people oi tno country win nave . ... . I H 1 I come to the samo conclusion before the campaign of 1900. As the Review nf Reviews outs it. "The question is nettled " Ex. I IS OUT OF POLITICS. Tho fact of D. S. Guild, chief of tho supply dopirtment of tho H. Sc M., having bconj mentioned as a candi- dato for mnyor of this city, is deemed of 6umciont lmp0rt for ;tho manage I merit in Urnana to wrlto ilr. Ci. a very cloar statement about what they thought oi politics nnd tho candidacy of men in their employ for political nreferuiont, "The Burlington has gone out of politics" is a statement we have often hoard, but from a perusal of the letter referred to, wo aro forced to believe tho management is in earnest this time. Among othor things tho letter says: 'lhe dividing or your tirno with engrossing political aJrairs wo could not afTord, however much wo might personally onjoy ovidonco of you ability to secure and hold public con fidence." The strictures placed upon thoso who aspire to political preferment in dicatns very clearly, that a resignatio of a man's position would bo expected from the company whenever a noini nation was sought for. It looks to us a if thocompany mightbo going too fari its rule, and was not allowing its lowe ollicials enough liborty of action, bu maybe experience has taught th management the course they now seek to.follow, is the best, and we shall note results later on. Mr. (luild, therefore, will not allow his namo used at all. Members of school board and social or family f fairs the management explicitly states is not of their concern. Captaix Palmek and some VVyom in friends are in Washington trvin to got Fort Custer rehabilitated. naving Deen uisoanoed a year ago According to the dispatches from r i a . . - wasningion tnese gentlemen are fearful of an Indian outbreak up that way, and want protection. To a west erner this looks liko a good joke, as the Indians in the reservation u there are nenrer civilized and are fa more law-abiding than the averaer Wyoming cow-boys who go to make up a large part of tho population of that part of Wyoming. Nebraska is in as much danger from the Indian up near Pender who are engaged in cultivating the soil as tho Sherida people are from their neighbors. A fort may be a good thing to have around, but the danger from India outbreaks is too absurd to talk about seriously in the west. The report of the secretary of the treasury shows that between Novem ber 1, 18J3, and February 1, 1898, 37, 735,572 standard silver dollars were coined by the United States. This means that after the Sherman act was repealed, in the very time the cheap money people have been conducting a big campaign for the restora tion of silver to its old place,' wo have coined more than fou times as many dollars as the govern ment did in its entire history up to 1S73. The government is using more silver all the time than it did before the "crime," but the miners are dig ging it out of the hills so fast that the price connot catch its breath. The 16 to 1 people are working at the wrong end of the proposition in all of their efforts to restore the party. Jf they really want 16 to 1 restored they had better go out to tho mountains and stop up tho mines that have been mak ing the trouble. State Journal. INFORMATION AND OPINIONS. Watersweet, Mich., was almost des troyed by fire yesterday. Its name was no protection. Senator Thurston and a party of Washington law-makers have gone to Cuba to look into the Maine disaster for themselves. Wiid ducks are said to be very plen tiful and a number of hunters that returned have today brought with them heavily laden game bags. Ne braska City News. Since the great Burlington route has about completed a fine depot in Omnha, the Union Pacific has awak ened to the situation and will at once begin the erection of a fine building on the north side side of the tracks nearby. The other eastern lines will probablj enter the U. P. depot, since they cross the river on the U. P. bridge, and will make it practically a Union station. Jim Dahlman's resignation from a $2,000 do-nothing job on the state rail way commission is again rumored Dahlman's resignation is one of those things that will be accepted as a re ality when it is accepted by the state authorities. Ex. Edmisten, the pop candidate for governor, is not very well thought of at home where he is best known. This reformer owns nearly one thous and acres of land out on Wood river which he has under the ditoh. He rents the land at regular rates and when dry weather sets in, it is said that he extorts enormous water rents from his tenants before he will allow any water onto the land. This infor mation is given us by a populist. Ed- misten wouid be a sweet candidate in the interest of reform. Professor Bossey was recently elected associate member of the academie Internationale de geogra phic botanique, Paris. This society is the leading one of its kind in the world. The election of Dr. Bessey was unknown to him until their publi- cation arrived in America.

Larsh and David Brown roturned last eveniner from Platts mouth, where the former purchased tho Ervin farm near Union, which is said to bo one of the best farms in Cass county. Nebraska City News. A Plattsmouth man recently pur- chased a piece of city property for $150. Wednesday, when ho went to make his last payment thereon ho discovered there woro two mortgages on the property one for $400 and one for $1,300. Ho is now waiting for tho title to clear up. NO LOVE NOK IE A It OK STAIN. F. J. Coates in Monday evening's News says ''it is easy to talk of war; it will cost us a million of men and untold wealth to conquer Spain." In reply will say we know this and are ready to take the responsibility. War is dreaded by all, but when Spain re fuses to pay tho damage done to our navy by blowing up one of our best vessels and sending 258 souls into eternity, what else can we do but go to punish these treacherous devils? Or are wo dongo like to say to Spain, "We forgive you, but please do not hurt us hereafter;," No, a thousind times nol Tho American people are not built that way. Surely, it is not our fault to be dragged into war with Spain. This government has been ever lenient toward Spain in order to keep out of war. In fact, too lenient. Had wo acknowledged the belliger ency of the Cubans, the latter would have driven the Spaniards out of Cuba s me time ago, and Cuba would bo free. Instead of hel ping the Cubans, we spent thousands of dollars to keep help away from this country. And at the same lime fully knowing that the Americans in the revolutionary war gladly acceoted aid from the French. L-ifayette, with his ship-loads of sol diers, ammunition and provisions, was gladly and thankfully received by Washington and the American people and we thank Lafayette today for the assistance he gave the country. In his memory they will build a monument at Washington or New York. We agree with Mr. Coates the French generals, such as Nye, Mc Donald, Lannes, Murat and others were brave men. We had just such generals in our late war, such as Gen e al Lee, Sherman, Sheridan, Custer, and a great many more, who, if alive, would lead the Americans to victory once more and would not be afraid to fight the Spaniards. If war must come we will have able leaders who will offer their services, besides, Mr. Coates, the Spanish nation today is not what it was in Napoleon's time, at that time, Spain was a power ful nation and had plenty of money and credit, today Spain has no money or credit. Tn fact, she is unable to pay her Cuban soldiers their misera ble monthly wages. The French went into Spanish terri tory to conauer the country. It is different with us, we don't want to conquer Spain, consequently if they want to fight us they will have to cume here. All we want is a free Cuba for the Cubans, and that we will have, and next we want pay for the damages done to the Maine and pay for the poor widows and orphans left to mourn the untimely death of their husbands and fathers. This is all we want Mr. Coates, and I use the words of Gen eral Jackson; "By the eternal we will have it." To close I will say to Mr Coates, Dongoo will have to to take a back seat, or, gopher-like, dig a hole in the ground and pull the earth after them, if war would break out. Conrad Sciilatek. IJootlrgger Released. Spuing field, Neb., Feb. 2S. George Schular, the bootlegger who was tried in the county court of thi county last week and found guilty and who finally pleaded guilty to the charge of selling liquor without a li cense and was fined $250 and costs by County Judge Howard and oent to the Douglas county jail to work out his fine, was released Saturday afternoon by District Judge Keyeor, who claims that Judge Howard had no legal right to impose more than $100 fine and even then could not sentence him to jail. The temperance people of the village are much excited over the case, as they advanced $50 to the Om aha detective for conviction. There s strong talk of taking the law into their own hands and appointing a committee to wait on such men as Schular and give them so many hours to vacate. Schular used to run a salo n at Cedar Creek. Hard and Soft Coal. John Waterman is sole agent for tho famous Mendota soft coal.
