Spain
for many years, und was, jit
that time, the seat of several consider
able Spanish settlements. It is not ol
record th;ii ihey were consulted in the
negotiations. On the contrary, they
were tmnsferied "as to many sheep,"
to u?o a favorite txpressiou of the
anti-ex, a iibionibts.
In 1813, at the close of the Mexicm
war, Mexico coded to us nearly 550,000
square miles of territory outside of
Texas. This was under President Polk.
In 1853, under President Pierce, we ac
quit ed nearly 50,000 more by the Gad
sen purchase. The first and larger
acquisition might be regarded as a
conquest in part, and in part as in
commutation of the expenses of the
war. In both cases the territory ac
ouired was, in some extent, settled by
Spaniards. This was especially true
in California, which, for present pur
poses, may be taken as an example.
The best part of the land of this state
had oeen taken up and was actually
occupied by families that prided
themselves on being of the oldest and
purest Castilian blood. The prevail
ing conditions were feudal in type.
The hacienda, where the proprietor
and his family resided, standing in
place of ancient castle, with the cot
tages of the tenants or retainers, gen
erally of more or less mixed blood,
scattered around. Beyond any ques
tion, if Spain is a civilized nation, this
population of California was civilized
at that time. Hence, "if all govern
ments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed," they were
entitled to the side whether or not
they should be "transferred like
sheep" with their tenants and lands
to the government of the United
States. To be sure it is not within
the memory of the oldest citizen that
this question was raised at that time,
although we were then living under
the good old democratic administra
tion of President Poik. But since new
times give birth to new principles, it
may not yet be tco late to raise the
question as to the original ralidity of
our right to all this Mexican territory.

THE NEW COUNTY OKKK IALS
Yesterday closed ibe term cf offi e
of two of the most important offices of
the county Mr J C. Htyes, one of
the boaid of county coromisi-ioiers, b
ing succeeded by Turner Zink, and
Mr. A. J. Graves, by J L. Root. Mr.
Hayes thus closed his second terra as
county commissioner. The career of
both outgoing offijials has been
marked by a conservatism and care
that have saved much money to the
taxpayers of the county. The office of
county attorney ia one that peculiarly
demands a positive character, other
wise the county would be embroiled in
much useless litigation, and a large
number of prosecutions would be in
stituted that would result in nothing
but a cost bill for the county to pay.
In this particular respect has Mr.
Graves' services, while unseen by the
general public, been of peculiar bene
fit to the county, as he has refused to
prosecute a vast number of personal
enmity cases that could not have re
sulted in conviction, and so saved the
county a great deal of expense. There
aro times when a man's value depends
as much on what he does not dd as
what he does. Mr. Hayes has like
wise been careful of the county's in
terests, and lias, in this respect cer
tainly been consistent, as he was not
given to economy in one thing and ex
travagant expenditure in others.
The News welcomes their succes
sors into office, and is confident that
-hey will be equally as careful of tho
ami b 1'Wnke t1

THE Philippine insurgents, if they
have the sense which they want the
J world to believe that they poise-H, will
avoid u conflict with the Americans.
They are indebted to the Americans
for freedom from Spanish oppression
which they now enjoy, siya the Globe
Democrat. They would, single
handed, have bee a as powerless as the
,Cuban insurgents to have made head-
way against, toe opaniaras. i. ney naa
been suppressed at the timo the Spanish-American
war began. Dewey
gave them arms and started the new
rebellion. The Americana made this
rebellion a revolution. Aguinaldo
ought to keep these facta in mind, lie
and his friends owe to the United
States all the liberty they have Re
sistance to the United States will uot
bring them independance. It would,
in fact, postpone the measures of home
rule which this country intends to
give them when they show they are
prepared for it. The sooner they
submit unreservedly to the govern
ment to be devised for tht-m by tho
United States the earlier the military
regime will end and civil authority
setup. These are critical days for
the Philippine leaders.
No KETUBLICAN legiflature was

I hompson is likt ly to receive. Vary
few of the legislators have come out
openly agitating the election of Mr.
Thompson, and yet each one is ready
to admit that Mr. Thompson has a
strong organization and that a large
number of fellows aro likely to vote
for him, but aro saying nothing about
it This leaves the other candidates
in a peculiarly anxious frame of mind,
as there seems to be a general dispo
sition on the part of the members of
both house and senate to find out,
before expressing an opinion, who is
the coming man, and this distrust
makes the situation a very peculiar
and interesting one. Mr. Thompson
will have a strong following probably
at the beginning, but if be does not
marshal sufficient force to secure his
election early in the fight, it is likely
that he will not succeed. The Grand
Army posts are passing resolutions en
dorsing Mr. Hay ward, which will
place the Grand Army men, in botn
houses, in a position where they will
hardly date ignore this vast constitu
ency. While the legislators them
selves can do no better than guess at
the situation, an outsider is in little
better position to predict the result.
There being seventy-one farmers
in the Nebraska legislature it is
pretty ceitain that the interests of
the tillers of the soil will be carefully
looked after.

With the legislature properly or
ganized, there are but two more things
necessary for the good of the state
which the legislature can do elect a
United States senator who will repre
sent the people of Nebraska, and pass
the nacessiry appropriation bill that
will provide for the running of the
state for two years more.
CoxsiDEKABLE guessing is being
indulged in by republican members of
the legislature, as to what position
Governor Poynter will take with ref
erence to legislation that may have
the slightest partisan flavor on it. It
is to bo hoped, however, that he will
let the republicans assume the respon
sibility, and approve whatever meas
ures they may pass.
It is not surprising that Ex-Governor
Crounse is a candidate for United
States senator. If there is anything
in sight in the shape of a good job.
that Mr. Crounse is not after, or has
not been after, since his' residence in
Nebraska, the office has not been
made public. We think that Mr.
Crounse should take a much needed
rest, as too much office holding is
likely to bring on premature old age,

cluded to oriie 1. to camp and vote
with the republican in t-ui port i f the

a ncxolion of the recent y acquired
territery. Mr. Hale says he dreads
the results of such a policy, bul d6ea
not consider himself larger than the
republican party. No one but a Wil
liam Jennings Bryan could assume
such magnitude about himself, to be
bigger than any and all parties, and
assume to dictate the policy of the
United States.
IT IS annonnced today that Senator
Allen will soon leave for Nebraska to
take part in the election of a United
States senator, hoping that there will
be a republican dead-lock, and he may
be chosen to succeed himself. W e
ventuietbe suggestion that there is
not a republican member of the pres
ent legislature who has any such Judas
blood in him that would induce him to
vote for Allen or any other populist to
longer represent this state. If M-.
Allen pays railroad fare he had better
save hia money, stay in Washington,
and continue his devotion (?) to tho
country's interest.
THE following is the solemn oath
which every member of the legis
lature took before entering upon the
duties of his office and which ho is ex
pected to live up to: "I do solemly

Mrs. Lucre ia Knt, a widow, of
Sprinsfie d. III., met her death in a
manner horrible in the extreme a few
days ago. Her fate was revealed when
a friend entered the house and found
her dead body. Une hand was pin
ioned inextricably under a heavy fold
iog bed. The body was badly decom
posed, showing that death had oc
curred several days ago. When found
the woman's broken hand was still
clasped in the bed as in a blacksmith's
vise. How tho accident happened
will never be known definitely. Tho
woman lived alone in the house and
that accounts for the tardy discovery
of the body. It is presumed that after
desperate struggles she may have
starved to death.

the county infirmary. It is no other
than Tellenau ilogerft-ster, who ia
well known in Miis city, having driven

Mattes Brewing company. His eye
sight is gone and he cannot walk any
more, but any of his limbs can bo
twisted clear out of their sockets and
turned around once, and when re
leased will liy b ick into place The
jiculia- part of it is t hat it does not
cause him the least pain to twist hi
limbs and he will throw ail of his
joints out of pi ice for the oen.iit of
visitors at any time.

The New York Independent, the
leading weekly newspaper of the
world, and one whose pages exercise
the widest influence, is entering upon
its fiftieth year of publication. The
Independent emphasizes its fiftieth
year by changing its form to that of a
magazine, and by reducing its annual
subscription price f i om $3 to $2;si ngle
copies from 10 to i cents. The Inde
pendent in its new form will print
3,640 pages of reading matter per year
at a cost to subscribers of $2. while
the prominent magazines, which sell
for $4 a year, print only abou' 2.000
pages. The subscriber to the Inde
pendent gels 82 per cent more of
equally good reading matter at one
half the cost! It is not only tho lead
ing family weekly newspaper but by
far the cheapest and best. A free

JrniiM.
"The children or tho chapel" at St.
James' are Just now anticipating with
boyish pleasure the Christmas pres
ents that a:e every year sent them by
the queen, the prince of Wales anJ
other distinguished people, says Lon
don Mall. These boys, ten In num
ber, are educated and generally main
tained by her majeBty during their
term of office. They enter the chapel
at about 10 years of age and remain
there till their voices break, usually
at about 15 years of age. The Chapel
Royal, St. James', dates a long way
back into history, and many of the
antique customs are maintained to
this day notably the dress worn by
"the children." Their undress uni
form has a eeml-mllltary appeal ante,
being of dark-blue cloth, with scarlet
pipings and gilt buttons; though the
little Eton jacket and ordinary col
lege cap proclaim the fact that It Is
a scholastic rather than a military
uniform. It is the state Kiilt, how
ever, that is so remarkable to the eyes
of the beholder. It is a relic or the
Jacobean days. It is made of scarlet
cloth, lavishly trimmed with heavy
gold lace, two lines of purple running
down the front between double rows
of gold; the back of the coat Is even
more resplendent than the front. For
merly the head boy could always de
mand "spur money" from any oflieer
who entered the chapel wearing spurs.
It is said that the duke of Welling
ton was the last to pay this forfeit.
