INFLOW OF GOLD.
The enormous sums of gold that
are coining to us on both sides of the
continent more than 9 1,000,000 a day
since February 25 are a source of
national strength far too littlo appre
ciated. They add largely to tho ability of
tho poople to support the government
in case of need.
Tbey greatly increase the volume of
money in; the country, every dollar
meaning, as a bank reserve, from $4
to $0 of availablo money with which
to meet the needs of commerce.
They mean that the country as a
whole is buying far less than it is
soiling; that it is living far within its
moans a circumstance that is as sug
gestive of thrift and prosperity in the
case of a nation as it is in the case of
an individual.
They mean that our national credit
and the credit of all our enterprises
aro unimpeached in foreign markets.
Otherwise American securities na
tional, state, municipal railroad and
industrial would now be flowing in
upon us from timid foreign holders
and we should be exporting gold to
pay for them.
At a season when we usually export
gold, and with a "war 6care" on, we
are still importing gold in phenomenal
quantities. The fact is reassuring in
an extraordinary degree. New York

IN FURNITURE
SPAIN has not solved the question of
naval coal piles on this side of the At
lantic. It is believed by good judges
that a Spanish fleet in American wat
ers could soon be reduced to helpless
ness by cutting off its fuel supply.
The Spanish bluster about how dear
they hold tho honor and integrity of
their country, and how they will sac
rifice everything for it, sounds very
much like the talk which Greece put
up when the Turk9 got after them
and at the first smell of real battle the
Greeks ran like frightened hares. If
Spain can fight she must show us.
The Central City Democrat, which
has been scientifically named, sets ite
foot down against at hird term for Gov.
Holcomb. "That will not do,
boys; it won't do at all," Bays the
Democrat. "Our people would beat
the twelve apostles if they were run
ning for a third term."
The democrats in their city con
vention here last week, spiked fusion
very effectually, so far as this county
is concerned. Populists who would
consort with them after such a square
slap in the face as was given, would
be very cheap sort of men. From those
we have heard talk, fusion is
squelched for this year in old Cass.
The gulf railroad organized by Matt
Daugherty and a few other cowboy
capitalists, which was to run clear
across the state gulf ward, failed of a
filing in the state house yesterday
because the fee wa9 too high. Its a
great pit to nip so promising a ven
ture bo summarily. The idea of
squelching a ten million dollar rail
way by charging $500 for filln
corporate papers is bad and the
in this particular instance may tfever
know what it has lost.

Leading Clothier of Cass County
Mb. Bryan is evidently not in it
for his health. He made a speech at
Lawrence, Kas., Wednesday night on
the silver bug a boo which netted him
$175. His crocidile tears for the suf
fering and down trodden laboring
people are thus wiped away and his
head aches for the suffering masses
assuaged by the healing balm of
money not earned. Oh, demogoguery.
thy name is surely Bryan.
The Nebraska National guard is in
a state of cold perspiration, having
found from the oath taken that the
president can order every company to
the front with little ceremony, and
make yellow fever food of the Ne
braska heroes of Pine Ridge. The
dodging of Spanish bullets is not half
so bad as the trial to keep out of reach
of Cuban microbes. The latter enemy
strikes terror to the Nebraska soldiers
heart as he is only familiar with clear
sunshine and pure air.
The populists have been slapped in
the face so many times by the remnant
of Jeffersonianism in Nebraska it
would seem that they would some time
come to their senses and give the dem
mies the rebuke they deserve. The
latest insult is the withdrawal,
through democratic influence of sev
eral candidates from the populist city
ticket. Let the populists vote repub
lican ticket and they will be voting
for their friends. At least, not for
men who are seeking to use them as
cat's paws.
A SPECIAL to the State Journal in
reference to the Rock Island case
does a majority of our jurymen from

that theory, are backed by everyone

stopped, the engine detached and the
injured man brought to this city and
taken to a room at the Perkins house
where he now lies. He has suffered a
great deal from his injurios but Dr.
Cummins, who is in attendance, in
forms the reporter that he will recover,
though he will have to remain in bed
for many days and perhaps weeks.
Updegrove lives at Clair. Mich,
where ne has a home and family a
wife and five children. He says he
is not a drinking man andthat being
out of work he was on his way to Oma

seems to be a man of good intentions
and good habits and we trust he will
soon recover. The family has been no
tified of the man's sad condition.

Plattsmouth, Nebraska.
HAVELOCK ITEMS.
Plattsmouth can well afford to
donate liberally to the cause of the
suffering Cubans. Everybody can af
ford to give something be it ever so
little. None of us would suffer from
the loss, if necessary of one or two
meals, that some starved creature of
the little isle might enjoy one whole
some feast altar many days and weeks
of fast F. E. White's remarks at the
meeting last night that Plattsmouth
should send five car loads of provisions
to the sufferers waswell timed. Every
one should respond.
Since John P. Sutton, of Lincoln,
has heard of a possible alliance offen
sive and defensive with Great Brit-
tain he shows a disposition to consider
it purely offensive, especially to him
self. This is all wrong, John 6hould
remain neutral in a case of this kind
and not harrow up the feelings which
have been slumbering since 1812.
England has a navy that is a pretty
good thing to have around in case of
a dispute with a foreign power, its
monster battleships forming the most
convincing argument in favor of a
proposition that a government ever
had tho pleasure of considering.
War with Spain ia now almost a
certainty. The report of the commit
tee appointed to investigate the
Maine explosion has been received at
Washington and it is given out that
the report alleges the cause was a
dynamite mine or torpedo located on
the outside of the vessel. American
residents of Havanna have been noti
fied by this government to leave and
a vessel has been sent to bring them
away. The note from the govern
ment to Spain with reference to the
disposal of the torpedo fleet coming
this way has been entirely ignored.
Insult is being added to injury and be
fore the sun rises on this day of next
week there can be no question but
what the conflict will be on in all its
fury, and the supremacy of the Amor
can navy will be put to a crucial test
However much war may be deplored,
there is but one opinion, from the
lakes to the gulf and that is in favor
of punishing the barbarous Spaniards.
McKinley has, with rare wisdom,
staved off the day of conflict which he
foresaw several weeks ago must come,
and the country is on a pretty fair
war footing. The work that has been
accomplished in the last month on the
navy and coast defences being almost
marvelous.
Gave liiiu a Pass Home.
A tramp by the name of Frank
Crease, who walked in here Saturday
was given a ticket today by the au
thorities and shipped to his home at
Ottumwa. Some time ago he sustained
a broken ankle and walking so far on
the railroad track his ankle became
so badly swollen he was unable to
walk further. Saturday night he was
given lodging at tho tramp rendezvous
adjoining the council chamber and
Sunday was cared for at the county
jail. He was in a bad fix and it was
tho proper thing to send him to his
friends where he could receive proper
treatment.
A Hlrthday Party.
A few friends and relatives gath
ered at the home of Mr. and Mrs C.
H. Reid on Chicago avenue Saturday
evening in honor of Mr. Asa Wain
scott, it being his twenty-first birth
day. The evening was spent in music
and social chat, and at a late hour
refreshments were served consisting
of coffee, cake and fruits. The pa-ty
dispersed after partaking of these
good things, leaving many good wishes
with the young gentleman and hopes
for many happy and successful returns
of the day.
There were present Misses Stella
Herington, Lilly Manspeaker, Hattie
Yunker, Cora Jones, Jessie Barboe,
Maud Nickle and Mrs. Lena Layton;
Messrs Dallie Gibson, Elmer Yunker,
James Roberts, Asa Wainscot; Mr.

Dovej'n Prices.
Doveys have been in business here
for more than a quarter of a century
and never have they sold shoddv or
inferior goods in all these years. The
prices they quote in the big ad in this
paper may seem like they are too low
for the class of goods they carry, but
they are the result of close buying and
a datermination to sell more goods at
c'oser margains. It will pay you to
read their ad and inspect their goods.

Secretary Gage says the financial
resources of the government are

bring. This is the judgment of an
able and conservative man, who is in
a position to know what he is talking
about. The government could un

the money which it woud need to carry
on the war. The capital of the out

Death of Tay Morrow.
Miss Effie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs,
William Morrow, of Murray, has been
in town taking charge of the Vienna
bakery which her father traded for, a
few days ago. Last evening she re
ceived a telegram announcing the
death of her twelve-year-old brother,
William Tay, whom she did not know
was dangerously ill. She departed on
the late M. P. train last night for
Murray to attend the funeral which
occurs tomorrow at 10:30 o'clock from
the Christian church in Murray. The
little fellow has suffered for some
time from heart trouble and has not
been strong, but the immediate cause
of his taking off was malignant sore

the services, assisted by Rev. Oldham
of Murray. The remains will be in
