The 6potted cow called Speck, made

Matthew Gjcicino has signed Guy
Livingston's muster roll, and will
march on Cuba at tho first call to arms.
Whether he will play a fife or go as a
drummer for Guy's company has not
been decided.
The civil service commission wants
an elevator conductor at the Lincoln

The church and state never worked
together in this country. While the
great power of the Pope is for peace,
the members of that church are a unit
in this countivfor war. and will be
among the first to carry a musket and
set foot on Cuban soil.
Polo y Bernaue, the Spanish min
ister, will bid us a hasty adieu today.
Polo, we shall miss your foolish habit
of using a small y for your middle
name, but we can't think of any other
regret for your hasty departure. As
representative of a brutal barbarism
called a government you did very well.

The fellows who said there would
be no war are now beginning to reef
their sails and get in under the big
tent. The resolutions and ultimatum
which McKinley will sign today means
nothing else than war, and before the
week ends your Uncle Sam will be
burning powder in an effort to get the
Spanish brutes off theearth.
Genera Lee is to have a commis
sion, and will command a regiment or
brigade in the Cuban contest He is
the right man, and his Confederate
experiencewon't hurt him, either. He
knows better what the Stars and
Stripes stand for than the stay-at-homes
who still think they have a
monopoly on American patriotism.
The Spanish minister asked for and
received his passports and sailed for
Spain, but the American minister at
Madrid had to be insulted by having
his passports sent to him before he
had requested them. We are glad
a day of reckoning is near at hand,
when people may be taught that it
costs something to insult an American
citizen.
What has become of our Wra. J.
Bryan ? The muster rolls for volun
teers will soon be open and fur a man
out of a job a trip to Cuba must prove
alluring. His voice rising above the
din of battle exhorting the "boys in
brown" to wipe the Spaniards off the
ear tli would sound better than in the
16 to 1 business advocating national
repudiation.
Governor W. Y. Atkinson of
Georgia has announced that in the
event of war he would lead the Geor
gia military to the front. "I have re
ceived so many pathetic letters from
mothers all over the state asking me
not to send their sons," said the gov
ernor, ''that I have concluded the best
reply I can make is to lead the boys
myself,inasmuch as I may be compelled
to order them out.
It is to be hoped the flying squad
ron and the aggregation of Spanish
war cafts at Cape de Verde may
come together this side of tho ocean.
Many mooted questions would soon be
settled. Any reparable damage in
flicted could be remedied in a short
time by Uncle Sara, while the Don's
crippled crafts would founder before
arriving in sight of a friendly port.

democratic and populist parties.
WAR MUST COME.
After tho house amended tho senate
resolutions by striking out that part
referring to tho independence of Cuba,
a conference was, after much acrimo
nious debate in the senate, agreed to.
Tho conference committee, Foraker
himself a member, wrebtled for toiuo
time with tho house committee, when
finally an agreement was reached, and
at little past one o'clock this morning
the resolutions agrtoJ to passed both
houses and will do laid before the pres
ident today. The country will soon
know what sort of metal McKinley is
made of when ho takes definite action
on the power granted him, which is
greater than that of any king or mon
arch in Europe.
The resolutions adopted, and which
McKinley will consider today, read as
follows :
the resolutions.
Whereas, The abhorrent conditions
which have existed for move than
three years in the island of Cuba, so
near our own borders, have thocked
the moral sense of the people of the
United Stales, have been a difgraco
to Christian civilization, culminating,
as they have, in the destruction of a
United States battleship with HGG
of its oflicers and crew, while on a
friendly visit in the harbor of Havana,
and which cannot longer ba endured,
as has been set forth by the president
of tho United States in his msssage
to congress of April 11, 189S, upon
which the action of congress was in
vited; therefore
Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America, in congress assembled:
First That the people of the island
of Cuba, are and of right ought to
be, free and independent.
Second That it is the duty of the
United States to demand, and the gov
ernment of the United Sates does here
by demand, that the government of
Spain at once relinquish its authority
and government in the island of Cuba,
and withdraw its land and naval forces
from Cuba and Cuban waters.
Third That the president of the
United States be, and hereby is, di
reeled und empowered to use the en-
tire land and naval forces of the
United States, and to call into actt,a!
service of the United States the mili
tia of the several states, tosuch extent
as may be neccessa-y to carry these
resolutions into effect.
Fourth That the United States
hereby disclaims any disposition or
intention to exercise sovereignty, jur
isdiction or control over t-aid island
except for the pacification thereof;
and asserts its determination when
that is accomplished, to leave the gov
ernment and control of tho island to
its people.
Mike Cavey, who has a habit of
speaking out in meeting and saying
some wholesome truths without the
consent of the powers that be, writes
an interesting letter which appears in
another column. As the News has
said before, fusion in this county i:
dead, and the effort of a few Platts
mouth democrats who aro suffering
from office itch, to resurrect the
corp3e will prove futile. The honest
populists who oppose fusion and are
dubbed Benedict Arnolds, because
they refuse to sell out their princi
pies to the democrats, will be found
very numerous. The effort of brother
Dearing to keep bis residence in this
county in order to send a fusion dele
gation to the state convention is not
certain to bear that kind of fruit.
The populists are fully" conversant
with the situation and will not accept
the unpleasant situation of catspaw to
any more ingrates. Cavey's letter is
a pointer from the country precincts
which the demo-office hunters may
heed with profit.
Spanish officers are placing great
stress upon the fact that many Ameri
can war ships have a large percentage
of sailors of foreign birth enrolled,
and say the first shot will terrorize
and stampede those "mercenaries,
Seems to us there were similar pre
dictions made thirty-six years since,
but the men who fought with Siegel,
Meagher, Mulligan, Zaggoni and
other lesser lights gave the" lie to
those predictions, as will the native
sons of Ireland, Britain and Scanda-
navia to the treacherous Dons when
an opportunity is given to avenge the
Maine.
The Spanish orators are wild at
the idea of having the "glorious
honor" of Spain sullied. Their ideas
of honor and glory seem very similar
to those of a Sioux Indian. Senor
Sagasta says there is nothing left but
immediate war, and Spanish prepara
tions are being rushed to make ready
for the fray. Every hour's delay now
can not help the U. S , but is of in
finite value to Spain.
CnARLEY Wooster, the pop rooster
from Silver Creek, is a candidate for
congress in mil ureene s district.
One of the chief attributes of a Ne
braska pop congressman lies in his
ability to absorb large quantities of
corn juice and barley. If Charley is
not equal to the occasion he had better
begin getting drunk now, so he will be
fully equipped by next fall.

HOW IS THIS?
jr war scare hovers over
Wall street and Naw York. This time
wo ore going to become involved in an
imbroglio with Spain. Just what par
ticular steal the magnates contemplate
at the present time is not clear, but
they surely see something in sight in
the inoiiey-uiaffing line or tho scare
would never hanpen. These war
scares only come when there is some
nefarious plot on foot to loot the na
tional treasury, as witness Cleveland's
war message anent the Venezuelan
business, which served as an excuse
for the issuance of bonds. Of course,
war is always a possibility, but it is
extremely improbable, as there is no
tenable ground for Suain to fight upon.
The idea of a country like Spain with
a total available war forco of 250,000,
going to war with the United States,
whoso available war footing is 10,000,-
000 men is absurd. The United
States would wipe them up in no time.
There is no immediate danger of war,
but the stock gamblers affect to be
lieve there is and are laying the wires
for a panic which means another op
portunity for these leeches to loot and
rob somebody. Plattsmouth Journal,
November 8, 1897.

yootls for which he paid spot cash at the factory.

neither can they meet him on a marvelous assortment of
everything in his line.

guaranty, and its half a hundred designs.
