LARGEST CIRCULATION Of any Cass County Paper. Al'TKU her disgraceful reeord in Cuba, it iu ridiculous for Spiiin l be boasting of natioriiil honor. EVIDENTLY Franco is trying to pre vont hostillities until sho can unload tho rest of her Spanish bonds. I K you see a man carrying a knap Back, don't slam tho door in hi face on tho theory that he is a bookagent, as it might bo tho assessor, a very dangerous individual to olTend. AUSTRALIA is about to ship $0,1 00, 000 more gold to the United Slates. Tho financial philosophers who have been harping on the coward ico of gold must own up to another fallacy. It looks like Govornor Holcomb would havo to sit as a court and listen to the complaints which are to bo made against his Omaha police board. This is enough to make him wince and try to shirk tho job. When Spain, in resoonso to Mc Klnley's note, inquired if tho inde pendence of Cuba was a necessary feature of a settlement of the Maine affair. His response was brief and to tho point, lie only answered "Yes." Senator Allen is a great gallery boy. Ilia talk of resigning his posi tion in tho United States Senate to fight in the ranks against Spain, will not be mistaken for patriotism; in street parlance its poppy cock, nothihg more. The Baltimore and Ohio has eighteen women in its employ as sta tion agents, and the traveling auditors say their accounts are always straight and that their stations are kept neater and cleaner than those presided over by men. '.L1 ; i f. fusionisis at South Omaha had a close call. The majority of over a thousand one year ago was reduced to one hundred and twenty. The early return to power of the old reliable republican party is made more certain every day. Dick Baku and tho other cruel Plattsmouth populists according to tho Journal should "come into our parlor" and be good. Their cruel actions may stifle a delicate congress ional boom you Know and that would be awful. "Hyenas and lambs," is the Jour nal's comparison between pops and democrats. Wo aro a little out of practice at guessing, but wo never saw a democratic lamb and conclude the other animal stands for the Journal democrats. THE war talk is not affecting business in this part of the country. The re port of the Omaha Clearing House, yesterday shows an increase of over 40 per cent over the same week one year ago. Who said McKinley times were not felt in the west. The queen regent of Spain poses for sympathy because she is a widow. Sho has been chiefly engaged in making widows in Cuba for two years, and is entitled to the same sort of sympathy we lavish upon the wolf which has fastened its fangs in the flesh of the innocent lamb. Editor Caspar of tho David City Press, who saw fit to make unkind re marks about the late Miss Willard and her life work, has received more free advertising of an unsavory kind than any other man in tho 6tate, and he fully deserved all tho abuse that was heaped upon him. Col. Woodford is a great orator and was one of the bravest soldiers sent out from the great stato of Now York during the recent unpleasant ness, but as a diplomat he makes one weary, unless he is trying to hood wink the Dons while McKinley is get ting his war materials ready. Evert time congress lious and starts out to do iard killing on its own gets rebel- some Span- account the I man at the white house sends for a few cf the recalcitrant statesmen and when he gets through with a little talk they go back to their seats quiet and harmless as doves. Who was it said McKinley was not a man of strong character and that he could be easily influenced. People who are still complaining about the fact that New England cotton mills have been compelled to reduce wages may find an explana tion in the following table, showing the growth of the cotton manufactur ing; industry in tho south in the past eighteen years. It will be observed that this growth, which operates pre cisely under the same tariff law that prevails in Xew England, has been something phenomenal: Mills Spindles Looms Capital IS80 IH0 M7.000 14,000 $21 1890 1,712.000 39.0IK) ei.fl00.UJ0 18S8 4W 4,100.000 115,000 125.000,0(X) DOW N ON THE POPULISTS. Populis t.-i mufct got oil- tho earth, that is tho slogan of the demoemtie organ in this city as will bo noticed from tho following editorial which appeared in last evi nirig's Journal : "Tho fusion of politic.il purlieu is all right in principle, the name as a co partriernhi j i ti u business venture is. But it would bo preposterous to pi o pose tho fusion or co-partnership of u lamb and a hyena or of a dove and a Horpent. Arid it's just the same witli political fusion in some quarters. It is no more than just to s.ty that tho rank and file of all parlies are disposed to bo square and fair, yet in many localities they allow themselves to be dictated to am manipulated by one or two cheap grafters and p.u-iy iraituis, wlio have no uioro idea of p-inc!p:o than a Digger iridian has of I. e Darwinian theory of evolution. 'I h.y are po.itic il ha lots who chum to he members of the party which they seek to control, merely bee.iu-e they can make more by such pretended alleg iance than would bo possible by any other course. Their ways wo devious and dark. Party secrets at e obtained, that they may bo peddled for a profit. Fusion schemes aro cancoeted in order that some ono may buy them olT, and objectionable and unpopular candi dates aro forced upon union tickets s that such liekcts may be weakened in the interest of tho opposition." CHAPMAN REVERSED AGAIN. This is thu same old story, witli a new chapter. Tho supremo court, in passing upon one of tho many cases decided by Chapman, which, in the interest of justice, wore taken before that tribunal, says: Miller vs. Meeker. Error from Cass county. Reversed. Opinion by Jus tice Norval. 1. When an action is properly brought before a justice of the peace of one county, summons may if-suo to any other county to bring iti other parties defendant. 2. In a personal action, service of summons in a county whore a suit is brought upon a nominal defendant merely, who has no substantial inter est in the subject of tho suit adverse to tho plaintiff, does not confer author ity upon the court to issue a summons to another county for a real defend ant. 3. The jurisdiction of u justice's court is inferior and limited, and to support a judgment of that court, the record must affirmatively show juris diction ever tho person of tho defend ant. A SAMPLE OF PROSPERITY.

Victor Kosewatku of Omaha was before the supreme court yesterday and asked for, and was granted, per mission to tile a petition for a writ ior mandamus compelling the governor to hear personally the charges against the three Omaha lire and police com missioners. Mr. Ilosewater denies the right of tho governor to delegate the hearing to Judjje Tibbetts or any other man. Governor llolcomb will be re quired to show cause why ho shou.i! not sit in the case. The southern editor who "longs fo; one hour of Wil'.iam J. Bryan " need not go through life in disappointment. He can have one hour of Mr. Bryan at almost any time if he will charge an admission and divide the gate re ceipts. The Nebraska statesman is not exclusive, if he is rich. State Journal. Skxatou Allen, who is as large a man as M. V.Gibson of South Park, declares ho wants to resign and jine the army if we have war with Spain, tsince rendiDg his statement we are unalterably for war. The discovery of a copy of the Declaration cf Independence in Jef ferson's own handwriting is an inter esting event. But the Virginia states man's draft of a popocrat platform is still missing. INFORMATION ANIJ OPINIONS. Commissioner Evans has been called upon for an opinion as to whether a pensioner could enlist in case of war with Spain. The commissioner in formed his inquirers that they were pensioned for disability, and the gov ernment always sought for 'Sable bodied men" (naturaly) for soldiers. The pensioa stood in the way of old soldiers enlisting, for it was a certifi cate of disability which no medical ex amination could set aside. The Nebraska train on its arrival in Xew York will bo under the charge of the Central Cuban Relief committee comprising Stephen E. Barton, pres ident of tho lied Cross organization, chairman; Louis Klopsuh, of the Chris tian Llerald and Charles A. Schieren, of the New York Chamber of Com merce. Thi9 committee acts under the direction of tho department of stato and it assures tho Nebraska con tributors to tho fund that the supplies will reach their destination cither witli or without the consent of the Spanih authorities, and if r.ecssiiry a sic rial hte.-iriier will he charter 1 to c un too provisions If. en A-ba j p Jit i .attsmoul !i where the ueino crats and populists fu-eil on the city ticket, only a. police ju.l'e atid two in tied men ivero elected.
