Till-: froo and unlimited eoiron of
wind is now tho proper ery of the
yellow journals that have e;reat lat
tles to report, whi'-n never took place
except in tho mind of the war cor
respondents. TlIK meric:iri war lh et has been
capturing numerous Sanish merchant
men, hut Spain will doubtless even up
tho score later on when she fcii'tcrs
her cruisers that have been hold at
Cadiz and Cape Verde Islands.
TlIE West I'oint military academy ii
awako to the situation and turned out,
lifty-tivo graduates yesterday who
would in tho regular course, not have
graduated until June. They will all
get commissions as olliccrs.
I'OLO RKUXAitu did not reside in
tho United States very lone;, but he
knew enough when war was declaa'-ed
to fly to Canada. There were several
people did tho same thing in lSOl and
they were not Spaniards, either.
A Xl'MUKlt cf governois have of
fered to go into service nrd lead the
state troops to victory. We have
heard of no such otTor from Nebraska's
governor. lie is evidently of the opin
ion that drawing a salary in tho safe
confines of Nebraska is better.
TlIE gold reserve has gone beyond
the $180,000,000 mark and bids fair to
reach $1100,000,000 and this in war
times, too. There's little wonder that
Bryan has cancelled his lecture en
gagements on the beauties of 1(5 to 1
and the overthrow cf our financial
f-ystem.
GOV. UoLC'OMli bucked the supreme
court and now is crossing swoids with
the secretary of war about whether
the Nebraska volunteers shall go to
Omahu or Lincoln. At this writing
the secretary appears to have things
mostly his way and Oinahas star is in
the ascendency.
MAYOlt Kiciiky starts out his new
administration under most favorable
auspices, and the city is assured of a
splendid administration. Mayor Gut
sche has made a splendid executive
officer and stepped down and out hist
evening with a few words of thanks
to tho council.
Jl'Pge Day, of Canton, Ohio, who
has been assistant secretary of state
was appointed yesterday to succeed
Sherman, and John Ihissett Moore was
appointed to succeed Day. The cab
inet is now complete again and Joint
Snerman is a private citizen for tho
first time in forty-three years.
The deadest town in the United
States today is Fort Crook since the
6oldier3 have been taken away. The
saloons and grocery stores which
monopolized tho trade of the town are
as quiet as a cemetery at midnight,
and the result must be that many will
soon be moving out for better quarters.
NOT an administration organ will
open its mouth about II anna's shame
ful treatment of Sherman. Nebraska
City News.
Why should they, tho democratic
press has always been so considerate
and complimentary to John Sherman
he need look no further for comfort
ing assurances.
The Havana blockade seems to be
effectual, no ship having thus far suc
ceeded in getting through the cordon
of war vessels. The haughty Dons
will soon be getting as hungry as the
poor reconcentrado's whom they have
been torturiug for over a year. Beef
steak was quoted at 75c per pound
there yesterday and the supply will
not last long even at that price, while
flour and other necessaries are equally
high.
The oft discussed Indian question
might be solved if McKinley would
send all the braves down to Cuba to
light Spain. They are willing to go
and the guerrilla warfare of the Span
iards would suit them exactly. One
Sioux Indian with the now ritle that
speeds a steel bullet live miles with
deadly effect would whip fifty Span
iards. By all means give the Indians
a place in the army and solve two
questions at once.
Wheat is again bounding upward
and there is no prospect of that um
bilical cord between wheat and silver
bullion being welded together again by
the oratory of he sixteen-to-wunnors
very soon. The war is not the only
element in the rise. There is re
ported a shortage of tho crop in Rus
sia and the farmers of the west will
have another harvest of wheat and
good prices in a very few weeks. The
crop is looking all right in Nebraska.

No Mo i:e pathi.tis incident has
transpired in connection with th
present outbreak ol war than the
enforced retirement of John Sherman
from participation in public alfiirs.
He is one of the last of the state-men
lhat the civil war brought forth, and
tho ! ivntesi surviving. One of the
ablest of all the secretaries of the
treasury since Hamilton, it was cer
tainly his fortune- t; do the mi st im
portant work. The resumption of
specie payments and the funding ol
the war debt are achievements sulii
cieiu to entitle him to a place among
thechisen few who have the genius
of constructive statesmanship.
That such a long, vigorous and, alto
gether useful life should b; b.oaht
virtually to a clo.-e by mental decay at
a period when lessor statesmen suiTer
no hiss of mental power is inexpres

Gov. Iloicomb seems inclined to make
Lincoln the place of rendezvous for
the Nebraska troops. Fort Crook is
in every way better fitted but it is
said the fort has. been turned down.
Kid McCoy, tho pugilist, pives it

study medicine. He believes there is
more money for a physician than for a
prize lighter and he is probably
right. Amnnrr tho n . w ilnmn flUtic-s" rrO-
