JUDGINO from the report of Com
modore Dewey's naval achievements,
it's little wonder that thocible was
cut to prevent the news reaching
Madrid too suddenly. Tho mercurial
Spaniards would have bureted with
indignation.
SrANlsii honor has not been en
tirely vindicated yet, hut if Admiral
Sampson meets the Armada ho will
finish tho job so beautifully begun by
Commodore Dewey. Wo must see to
it that tho "honor" of tho Castilians
is properly preserved.
Well, the Spaniards said the loca
tion of tho first battle would be a sur
prise to tho Yankees. It was. Very
few of them thought it woula be
seven thousand miles from home.
And tho result was a complete sur
prise to the Spaniards. Ex.
MEAT is quoted at $1.50 per pound in
Havana and while the soldiers are be
ingstarved out we are wondering what
the poor reconcentrado women and
children are living on. There won't
bo enough of them left to fight over if
Uncle Sam does not land troops with
supplies very soon.
The entire nation stops to praise
Commodore Dewey tho intrepid bravo
commander who won the first signal
victory in the Spanish war. His vic
tory and the real merit of tho man may
make him president of tho Unit', d
States. He is said to be quiet and un
assuming in manner much like Gen
eral Grant.
The supreme court last week re
fused to issue a writ of ousted in the
Moores case on behalf of W. J.
Broatch and the report of the referee
has not yet been acted upon. The
apparent victory of tho Broatch
crowd is not so important as was first
supposed, the supremo court having
tho power to set aside the referees
report entirely.
The Spaniards were so bittily
whipped at Manilla, and it was done
so quickly they are puzzled yet to
know how it was accomplished. One
Spanish officer says Dewey threw blaz
'og coal oil bombs onto the Spanish
snips, a munition ot war that is new to
the country. No coal oil bombs were
ever seen or heard of by the American
troops and the Spanish marine will
havo to guess again.
Marshalltown Iowa is to h ive tho
first factory for tho manufacture of
India rubber out of corn oil. This is
ono of the latest discoveries by tho
chemist and promises to revolutionize
the prices of India rubber which have
been going skyward for several months
Tho new material will give Marshall
town a reDutation all over the world
unless new factories spring up in other
towns.
Commodore Dewey seems to be
quite able to take care of himself.
He is already a bigger man than
admiral, if reports aro correct, hav
ing elected himself as governor gen
eral of the Philipino islands where he
is the executive head of a nation of
seven million inhabitants. Dewey is
a Vermont Yankee, and when they
fail to take care of themselves there's
no need of other people trying to help
out
The triumph of American sailors
with second class ship? at Manilla has
changed tho tenor of the European
press and intervention is not thought
of now except on terms to be dictated
by the United States. Even Austria
whoso emperor is a brother of the
queen regent says Spain must givo up
Cuba. A decisive battle on the Atlan
tic or the complete surrender of the
Spanish army in Cuba would probably
closo tho war at once.
Commodore Dewey is probably too
busy establishing a government on
the Philipines to think of exploiting
his recent achievements in the news
papers. Reports from Hong Kong
today secured by boat from Manilla
say th.at Dewey is in charge as gov
ernor general of tho islands, having
taken . full possession, with tho stars J
and stripes floating irom tne govern
ment buildings. Tho islands have
been under Spanish rule for GOO years,
but there is an end to all things and
Spanish rule is no exception.
THE OREGON.
Tho Oregon, according to some of
the or. iclos, says the St-ite Journal
will bo bu)t at an early day by four
of the bnt bhijM in the Sp.nl.-th navy,
protected cruisers, each about equiva
lent to taill-Hhip. Tho n.ivy men
are, however, not afraid. Tho Oregoti
is a ten thou -rind tonner plated with
lii inch. Ilarveyizod steel, tho best
armor in tho world, and furnished with
four l.'J-inch guns, eight 8-inch guns
and four G-inch rilles.
The four Spanish cruisers aro alout
7,000 tons each, and carry, ouch, two
10-inch guns and ton .rJ-inch rapid fir
ing guns. But this, to a landsman
does not tell tho difference. A broad
side of all theso eight 10-inch guns
would throw out an aggregate weight
of metal of 4, 0i) pounds or two tons,
while a singlo discharge of the four
13-inch guns on the Orogcn would hurl
4,400 pounds of metal.
But the difference of results would
bo far greater than tho difforenco in
tho aggregate weight of metal. The
plating of the Oregon will oasy stand
a five hundred pound shot from a 10
inch g-in. But when one of her 1,100
pound shots strikes the plating of a
Spanish ship of twelve inches, it will
penetrate it as though it were card
board. If tho gunners on the O.-egon
aro up to snuff, not one of the Spanish
cruisers is likely to get near enough
to injure her before it is knocked into
a cocked hat.
The News learns from a reliablo
source that Gov. Holcomb thinks ser
iously of aiding his boom for a third
term by calling a special session of tho
legislature for tho first of June. Tho
governor is a very smooth politician,
but he will find after the deal is con
summated that he has badly over
reached himself and ho will not only
be defeated in his schemes but the
popycrat party will go down with him
next fall to disastrous defeat.

Exchange.
Senator Thurston informs the Jour
nal that be has been working for two
weeks to secure tho acceptance of an
additional quota of troops from this
state, with the desire of mustering in
the Nebraska artillery battalions.
There is, in his opinion, no possible
chance of receiving a further call for
men, as every state is clamoring for
additional allotments and ours already
exceeds tho quota justified by tho
population. This will prove a severe
disappointment to large numbers of
Nebiaskans who wiah to go to tho
front with artillery and cavalry or
ganizations. State Journal.
A womans relief corps is being or
ganized to assist in tho Spanish w.ir.
The loyal, patriotic women will iird a
way to help, that is certain.
C. II. Smith has been confirmed as
postmaster of this city. Ho will now
send in his bond as soon as his com
mission arrivo3 and will th?n be ln
sta led as master of tho unils to suc
ceed W. K. Fox, whoso term expired
last week. Chet will make a first class
postmaster, hut in succeeding W. K.
Fox he relieves one of tho best officials
that ever held tho office. J. W. Mar
shall was appointed postmaster in 18G0,
then after years of service he was suc
ceeded by J. N. Wise for four years,
then II. J. Streight filled out a four
years terra and W. K. Fox succeeded
Streight. In thirty-eight years this
city has had but four postmasters.
The gaiety of the fracas is consider
ably heightened by the fears ex
pressed in dispatches as to the fate of
the battleship Oregon if attacked by
the Spanish gunboat Temarario. Such
a contest would bo as brief and unin
teresting as a scrimmage between a
diminutive poodle and a bulldog. If
the Spanish crew insist on taking an
involuntary bath in tho briny, Com
mander Clarke is just the gentleman
to accommodate them. Ex.
Bryan's lack of decision in tho mat
ter of going to war is having the effect
in Kansas to make the populists more
enthusiastic than over for a divorce
from tho democratic party. Bixby.
Tho harbor of Manila is said to be
the finest in tho world. It is 120 miles
in circumference, with an average
depth of three hundred feet and will
hold: all the navies of the world with
out crowding.
Two prominent populists were
heard to remark on the streets of Lin
coln yesterday that there were no pop
ulist state officers who wanted re-election.
Are we to infer from this that
all are democrats or are they so thor
oughly imbued with reform ideas that
they want to get out of tho way for tho
other fellow?. If the latter be the
caso human nature must have taken
a queer turn.
In looking over some old papers yes
terday O. fl. Snyder discovered an
autograph letter from Abraham Lin
coln written to a friend at Mt. Pleas
ant, Iowa, in 1SG2. Ho will havo tho
letter framed and displayed at the
store.
'
Itjpo has raised 20 per cent since
war with Spain was declared. Our
capture of Manilla so 3ms to have had
no effect on tho price.
An exchange suggests that it will
not require three weeks work of a
naval board of Inquiry to dctermino
what caused tho explosion in Manilla
bay.
STAIN is now claiming European
intervention on tho ground that she is
too poor to fight tho United States
successfully. It is noticed, however,
since tho buttle at Manilla, that tbo
intervenors who were quite numerous
a few weeks ago and loud in denounc
ing this country aro now singing a
different tune. Might may not mako
right, but it goes a long way in that
direction.
Cora Bvdle Fellows, tho handsomo
school ma'am who married an Indian
named Chaska, after a few months
housekeeping got a divorce and then
Chaska committed suicido from re
m rse. The Indian seemed to bo moro
sincere than tho iicklo maiden.
There are several ships now to keop
company with the.Maino at tho bottom
or tho sea.
Tho fellow who said tho Spanish
soldiers can't shoot straight is all
right but tho man who said they
would not fight was suffering from
strabismus.
Nebraska farmers with wheat selling
in Chicago for $1.75 per bushel and tho
outlook for a big crop hero" never so
flattering at this time of year as now,

The populist state central committee
is called to meet in Omaha Juno 2

Some sensational rumors of disbar
ments etc., como up from Nebraska
City that are quito serious, if true.
Washington dispatches say that ten
thousand troops will be 6ent from San
Francisco this week to reinforce
Dewey and take complete possession
of tho island. Fear is expressed that
the insurgents might rob and pillage
if they were given charge of tho city.
Some of the "grand stand" boys
who signed the muster roll down here
concluded they did not want to go to
war. Tho smell of powder makes them
sick and the din of battle grates
harshly on their esthetic nerves.
Edmisten is making an industrious
still-hunt for tho pop nomination for
governor this fall. Ho has plenty of
money to spend and reports say that
h3 pays out the cash like a plutocrat.
Old man Doty was in town today

to everybody that the Lord is on our
