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.

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:

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.
Reports from 15 of the leading com
mercial states on the number of busi
ness failures for the first quarter of

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

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.
