TlIK enthusiast: who liavo been hanging General Wey'.cr in clligy, wo fear, will not lo t-o enci gdic in an ef fort to capture tho Spanish butcher. TllKRK is now but ono war governor living mid Nebraska lias that honor Alvin Siiun.k'is. in a hhort time, however, wo will bo blcssi-d with forty-fi ve of them in this gro't. big country. I'UKSIDKNT McKlNI.KY's proelania tion, declaring Cuban oints Llocadcd by tho American lleet, shows that the administration will not wait for Sp tin to take tho initiative. It i-, war no-A-to a finish. SPAIN is raisin? money to prosecute tho war by holding bull lights in all tho largo towns. A line method of increasing the national treasury. It ought to take about two weeks to whip such a nation. GenkkaIj Blanco's trochas and barb wiio fences will not avail him much longer. It takes more than a wire fenco to turn back an American soldier as tho Spanish general will abundantly learn later on. Tin: call of President McKinley for 125.000 vol unices will give about 2,200 Nebraska patriots a chance to join the army and help vindicato the poor boys who were murdered on the Maine by the Spanish cowards. McKlXLEY shows himself tho co. 1 headed master of the situation. With more power than the Czar of Russia, he is tho same even minded combina tion of soldier and civilian that may be relied upon to make few mistakes. THE democratic -press is engaged in booming EU. llowaid, the Sarpy county wind -bag, for governor. How ard would be a pudding for the repub licans and we hope he may be success ful in carrying-otT the democratic nom ination. Polo y Ukknaiu;, the ex -Spanish minister, has gone to Canada, and will watch the war from Toronto. Polo is a bright boy an J knows better than to return to Spain where Amer ican shot and shell may be Hying before the war is over. The West Indies are doing a rush ing business in coal before war ships of the enemy stop the business. Coal dealers down that way must in ike big money out of their supply which can not bo recuperated after the war is on as it all comes from England or the United States. The long-looked for war is on at last, and mericans will soon be called up on to show what metal they are made of. Tho foreigners look upon us as hysterical, with a love for talk and a fear of fighting. Wo shall soon see whether the brutal Spaniards are not of the talking class themselves. The fighting lleet has been ordered to Ha vana. Gov. IIOLCOM it is urged to call a special session of the legislature, to make a war fund a; propriation. S. long as the general government is running tho war it is enough for Ne braska to supply her quota of men promptly. The state treasury is in no condition to be drawn upon for extra expenditures and even war times will not excuse a waste of public money. IIexuy U. Johnson, tho man who has misrepresented the splendid radi cal old republican Sixth district of Indiana in congress, w;is turned down Saturday, his own county of Wayne having repudiated him and east her solid vote for a more worthy man. The Richmond mugwump dude, whose voice was for peace at any price, is probably inclined just now for war, after hearing from home, but he is too lato. IF Edminsten calls his pop state con vention, early, before the other fel lows can get around to it, and has him self nominated for governor out of hand, what will the other rings of the celebrated circus be able to do in the premises? Mr Bryan will be hurrying home, if he hears of this proposed in surrection. He will never recognize the independence of the Edminsten reconcentrados. Because if he does, where is he? State Journal. THE resignation of Postmaster Gen eral Gary, on account of tho serious condition of his health, creates gen eral surprise, as it was not known such a step was contemplated. Tho president, however, seems to have been posted on the matter and imme diately nppointed tho brilliant Phila delphia editor, Charles Emory Smith, of the Press, to fill the important ponition. Mr. Smith has every quali fication to direct tho affairs of this great ofllco in a manner that will reflect credit on tbo party, nldna a counsellor to the rr-shlent hiywill ill io provo a valuable man.

COAL AS CONTRABAND. Great l.-iltain s decision to hold coil to bo contraband, and to prohibit the sale thereof by British subjects at home or in tho colonies to either billigereut in case of a conllict be tween the United States and Spain, is deeidediy advantageous to us. Our iships could procure all the fuel they need at home ports near the scene of operation, but the British coaling stations in the West Indies and the Bermudas wouid bo clcs jd to Spanish ships. The position of Great B; Utah) was very different in 1870 71, when Frcich war ships obtained as much coal as thty desired in British ports, notwithstanding the protests of Bis mai k. The award of the Geneva tri bunal in 1872 may have had something to do with tho case; nevertheless we may attribute tho change in the British attitude t a desire to go to tho limit in showing a friendly dis position towatd this nation. Phila delphia Record. The "V.rginius a flair," so o'ten mentioned in connection with the pre-ent trouble with Spain, occurred in 187.'. The' Virginius, a steamer sailing under the American ling, was captured by the Spaniards while at tempting to carry arms and ammuni tion from Ilayti lo the Cuban insur gents. Tho trade -was unlawful, and Captain Fry, an American citizen, was shot, with lifty-two persons who were with him in the expedition. Ninety three others were convicted, but were saved by Captaiu Lorraine, of the British ship. Niobe. who threatened to bombard Santiago de Cuba if they were executed. The alTair caused great indignation in the United States and President Grant was sevsrely criti cised because he did not retaliate, with war. In a couple of years Spain paid i.80,000 for the relief of tho American citizens who weie executed. State Journal. The Spaniards denounce the inter ference of the United States in Cuban affairs as an unwarranted piece of im pertinence. It should scarcely be ex pected that a nation were 70 per cent i f the population are ignoramuses and where 100 per cent arc devoted to the glories of bull lighting, will under stand and appreciate Die high moral ground Uncle Sam assumes in demand ing that Spain cea?e its p- stime of starving heipltss aud innocent recon centrados to death. If this is too much for her sense of right perhaps she can appreciate why Undo Sam doesn t like tho way the blew up theJ Maine. She can tako her choice 0 these two crimes for which to bo licked. John SiiisiimAx, the man soon to be retired from the oflico of secretary of state, on account of infirmities of age, was born May 10, 182;, at Lan caster, Ohio. He is a lawyer by pro fession, having been admitted to the bar in IS41. He was a member of con gress from 1S5-3 to 1801 six years ar.d was in the U. S. senate fiom 1S61 to 1877 sixteen years; was secretary of the treasury four years under Hayes, and has been in the senate up to tho beginning of the McKinley ad ministration, when he resigned to ac cept the portfolio of state. This makes his term of public life forty -three years. According to W. E. Annin, the Washington correspondent of the State Journal, Minister Woodford is in disgrace for having failed to de liver the ultimatum until ten hours after he received it. thus giving Spain time to hear from Bernabe.

It's safer and more piofitab'e than going to war A singular accident befell Landlord Gruber's little granddaughter, Lulu Scharp, living out south of town, one day last week. Her older brother had ben standing a nail on end aud bend ing over and picking it up with his teeth, ihe little girl, not vet 4 years old, tried the experiment, but lost her balance and fell, forcing tho four-inch wire nail into her forehend. just above the right eye, and the head was close up to the skin, tho whole nail having entered tho head. Her father, who had been sitting near reading, hastily removed the nail and summoned physician. The child was soon at play as if nothing had happened. The wound has not yet healed, but no set ious results are feared as ',he child suffers no pain whatever.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gen erally needed when the languid, ex hausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid aud sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often abated long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and free ing the system from the malar.'al poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con stipation, Dizziness, yield to Electric Bitters. Fifty cents and $1 bottles at F. G. Fricko's drug store. 1 l'oley'.s lloiif j- mill Tar.
