Foil liag f tne Philippine Islands William Jennings Bryan. THE manner fn which THE NEWS' subscribtion list is growing is very gr; lifying to the publishers, showing us it does, that the people appreciate their homo papor. One of North Dakota's most impor tant industries that of the divorce mill has received a black eye at the hands of the legislature, the residence provision of the law having been amended to twelve months instead of three. Goveknok Poynteh has evidently been carrying a little note book and is now commencing the delightful task of executing some of Governor Ilolcomb's appointees. It may be fun now for Mr. Poynter and fun for the fellows who grt the jobs, but look out for the man whoso scalp is taken he will be heard from later on. Colonel Bkyn made a serious mistake when he resigned his position with the Third Nebraska, as he could hardly have found a constituency tfhat would approve his present utterances any more than the Cuban insurgents. If the colonel had gone to Cuba and made the campaign he is now making against the United States, he would have been the most popular man the war has produced in the eyes of the Cubans and that ought lo have been glory enough for one war. The anti expansionists are all at sea for the reason that they do not know what they are fighting. The administration has out-lined no defi nite policy with reference to the care or control of the new territory, so that Mr. Bryan and his class do not know whether they are fighting repub licans or democrats, or merely mak ing a war on "wind mills." Of course it makes little difference to Mr. Bryan as he is like the proverbial Irishman, who is "ferninst" the government, no matter what the proposition, so long as hi is not permitted to stand at the head. EACn successive turn in the affairs of the Spanish difficulty confirms the wisdom of President McKinley when he sent his message to conerress that led to a declaration of war. With the inr-iirbt of a true statesman. President McKinley saw that the Cuban in surejits were s unstable as the Spa.i iards who we e trying to control them. and im-tijad of favoring the recogni tion of Cub n independence, his state ment i hat a sti.b e gore r m nt should be established in Cuba, meant mu h more th-tn hi-t closest r iends then Understood. Ij iter developments show that a stable governmtnt does Dot mean a Cuban government, and until tho Cubar s have learned that they are to live by honest 1 tbor instead of pillaging ihcir supposed enemies, Uncle Sam will have to kt t p a strong nand on Cuban affairs. The governor of Indiana declaims against lynching, but his fevered in terest in the question will not hare much effect in changing local condi tions. The law is now bitterly op posed to all lynching and could not be made stronger, but what ihe people of this country need is enforcement of law against criminals, and the public sentiment that will back that enforce- ment, and there will be no occasion to ignore it and attempt to mete out pun ishment under the direction of Judge Lvnch. It is true Indians has been disgraced by several lynchings re centlv. but an education that will teach respect for her laws and the se lection of men to enforce them, will do more to prevent lynching than all the proclamations that chief execu tives have ever issued. Colonel Bkyax has a certiiu faci lityand felicity of expression which, to people of literary tastes, is exceedingly attractive. As an example of making the best out of a bad cause, his reply to President McKinley's question, 'Who shall haul down our flag," may be cited. But unfortunately for him, he has the proverbial and traditional facility of his party for blundering. In an address at a banquet in Cincinnati, given in his honor last evening, he took up and emphasized his adherence to the defunct sixteen to one issue, and devoted the remainder of his time to exposing his crude and grotesque ideas about military affairs, and to antagonizing the manifest drift of the national mind, and the obvious de stiny of the Amerisan people in the direction of a wide- and more influen tial national policy. On these issues "the stars in their courses" will fight against him. STATE AM) COUNTY KAIKS. Thfie is no good reason why the public treasury in tho 8tat of N -br.-ifka Fhould bo depleted each year $2.0)U for tho pur pi 'ho of running a stato fair, says J. Slotting Mi rtoi.'s Conserva' i vo. If the farmers and manufacturers of Nebraeka deem it advantageous to have a state fair each year they have a right to hold one at their own ex pense. But there is no excuse for a law which puts the hand of the state Board of Agriculture into the popular pocket for the purpose of tking out, each year, enough tax-levied, tax- gathered cash to pay tho ex penses of the board and its officer for running a state fair. More than twenty j-ears ago the ed itor of tne ConservUive served as lVsido'.t of the Stato Board of Agri culture. While c ng in thai capacity he de -lined to i th - -tato appro priation for lh- li id of Agriculture. To Hon. Euyeno Mun , ttien a m m bor of the legi-1 itur,. from otoe county, he nd Irossi-d a lotto prot-si-ing against th app opr-iation. It was not made. Tho st.te f iir was a -uo-cess financially a id in every de-iranle way. Bat never s nco that time has the Stato Board of Agr.cu lur f tiled t seek and secure an 1 consume fls annual stipend of $2,000 from the state. In the last twenty years that stipend makes an aggregation of more than $60,000. No tuch appropriation is needed. No such appropriation should be made. If tero is not demand for a sta'e fair in sufficient force to pay the expenses oi a state fai. Nebraska ought not to indu'ge in a state fair. Things undemanded are valueless. There is among the statutes of Ne DrasKa one wnicn provides lor an annual allowance of $o00 by the com missioners in each county for tho pur nose of holding a county fair. Tho ninety-eight organized counties of tne commonwealth availing themselves of this lax, unwiso and extravagant leg islation may squander in horso trots about $o0,000 annually. In the last twenty years these expenditures which are wholly unnecessary have added about $1,000,000 to the taxntion of Ne braska. The legislature of NebraKa should abolish all subsidies to the State Board of Agriculture and to county agricultural societies. If these laws are not repealed it is a duty of tax payers to sue out injunctions and per manently, under order of tho courts put an end to this waste of public money. the cost of expansion. Among the spurious arguments ad vanced against a colonial system by the L oiled States is its expense; and men of slender information or narrow views will figure out tbe cost of a large army, the expense of a great navy, the increased taxation resulting and then sit baeU and solemnly tell us that this is the highway lo ruin. Sup pose Great Britain hnd figured that waj' during the past century? Or to come closer home, and bring ourselves possibly within the comprehension of these prophets of evil, suppose that Armour & Co. or Swift & Co. of Chi cago should figure out the expense of a Nebraska branch of their business without taking account of piospec tive profit? How soon would others take the place ieft vacant by their short sightedness or timidity and the success of these great bouses be arretted. The truth is, Great Britan's policy of expansion has not only paid its way but t nrich d the mothei toon trv beyond pr cedent. If the United &'at-s enters on this career, it wt 1 be in narmony with the diiring of ih Nicaraugu t ca at, the ere ttion of merchant marine and the pi. in of marketing her owa j r. bluets instead depotu lrg oa t'l.errf. It is but cn- t - . i ,i-i.t a iartiiog ui o ijl njoinoti oi me iarm r possessing ordinary thrift. But hith er:o we have paid Lui.dredsof millions of dollars to fcr ia vessels, princi pa.iy iHiiisn, ior cci tl c:i: g our ex- charg a. 'I hat monr-y sl.ould be kept at home hereafter, and in that event the additional expense ot the army and navy will be overbalanced many fold. The policy will not impoverish, it will enrich the nation. AS BEtiARDS SELF GOVERNMENT. The right of self government de pends upon the ability of self govern ment Even Jefferson did not favor its extension to our Indian tribes, and the latest advices from the Filipinos raise the same question as to them. In reply to a question as to the ability of the insurgents there for governing themselves, Major General Merritt replied "that it would take time, that they would have to be educated up to it. " General Greene said, "no native government can maintain itself with out the active support of a strong for eign government. It is difficult to see how a foreign government can give this protection without taking such active part in the management of af fairs as is practically equivalent to its own name." .now could we expect anything else of a race or races com posing the population of these islands? Barely semi-civilized, as most of them must be, ignorant, wrong headed, fit tools for any ambitious demagogues, these natives, and probably those of Cuba and Porto Rico, for their own welfare and for many years to ccme. will have to be treated as wards of tbe government, and held under military restraint and tutilage. YANKEES have a happy and valu able knack of quickly adapting them selves to any situation, and as quickly becoming ready to do tho right thing, which was never, in bettar evidence than during our war with Spain, when we improvised sailors and firemen by the. hundreds, always successfuly, while our enemy's efforts were palsied. imply because they didn't possess that happy and valuable kn.ck. Some day. though, we may g-t up against a different kind of an enornj , .ud things will le very different fi r us! Ol'K MNkNtllL l-OSIIION. Tin unpn c ndetited and enormous balance of trade in favor of tho United States during the past year, over tix hundred millions of dollars is telling in a decisive way on our available supply of gold. The most recent statistics place it at $910,000,000, an increase of $284,000,000 since July 1S96. Comparing this great sum with the crnl 1 cmrtnlir rtf nthnr nntinnj urn flrwl j thflt u exceeds lhttt of Great' 1Muin by $215,000,000; of Germany by 3285,- 000.000, and of Prance by $00,000,000. Of late years we have been recalling our bonds from foreign holders, and now our debtors aro beginning to ad just their balance in gold Should this c ndition of tr .de continue, and at present there is no tip pa ent reason wl.y it hou i n t, the U .iled States A'i.l become what Engl.-ind has been so long, the en duo - nation of tho wo Id WITH ihe arge amount of corn rais d y th f ti mers and the good prices they are rec iviug for it, money is more plentiful in Plattsmouth than it naa been for many years.

We trust and believe that the re publican legislature will make some honest efforts in the direction of penuine economy. We want none of that sort of economy that imposes upon the inmates of asylums and soldiers' homes, but thero are many channels in which good republican reform may be useful. A great responsibility rests upon this legislature. Republi can representatives should appreciate that responsibility, and act wisely and carefully. Lot good measures be adopted and good laws made, even if the governor is sure to veto them;that wili be his lookout. Beatrice Times. Two children have died at To'edo, O. ,from the effects of poison contained in colored candy and they are in a critical condition. Parents cannot be too careful about allowing their chil dren to eat colored candy. Vice President Robert the other evening gave a dinner at which the Chinese minister. Wee Tina Fang, was guest of honor. Half a dozen re publican senators decided to test the oriental dsplomat's drinking capacity. Drinks came fast and furious and in an hour or so all the senators became woozy. One by one they disappeared and finally only the host and the minister remained. The latter, still fresh as a daisy, inquired blandly: "Where are the senators?" Mr. Ho bart reluctantly admitted that they had retired, whereupon Wee Ting Fang took a nightcap, walked quietly down stairs and drove homo.

SICK OR WELL, A RUSH NIGHT AND DAY. The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de Cuba Were All Heroes Their Heroic Efforts In Getting Ammunition and Rations To the Front Saved the Day P. E. Butier, of pack-t,ain No. 3 writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23, says: "We all had diarrhoea in more less violent form; and when we landed we had no time to see doctor, for it was a case or rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with amunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, I sincerly believe that at one critical time this medicine was tbe indirect savior of our array, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a sup ply of tnis medicine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life." The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, the Chamberlain Medicine Co., De6 Moins, Iowa.

"In London ju-l 'round the corner from Trafalgar Square, stands the National Portrait Gallery, a three story building, iti tbe Italian palatial styles, donated to lh nation by Mr. Win 1 1 . Alex imb r, and HCeopled by the governim-nt in ss. The collection, which now iin-ludos over a thousand portraits. anil contains pictures by Van Dyelc, llolbi in. ll y nolds, Gainsborough and others, was originally founded by act of in r! i i- ment in lb b At present tho "Gothutni'.os' are holding an exhibition i f portraits of '.-.ocial lo idors" in tho Aculomy of Dosign on Twenty-third street, for tho In-uetil of a noted hospital. Mi Fiench writes of this exhibition, "Neither American men nor women eminent in history, literature, science and art aro largely represented, but Mrs. Mackay, who was Miss Duer. and whose wedding lust Juno was uni versally chronicled. Mrs. Arthur Kemp, too, is thoie, and the beautiful Mrs. Burke Roche, whose portrait by Li G.tndata i-i modeled even to its satin skirt, and its poso giving the long lino to tho back and tho turn to tho head 6een upon his famous por traits of Sarah Bernhardt and other European beauties and celebrities. Tho place of honor in this large col lection has been given to the portrait of Mrs. Henry Pay no Whit.iey, about which ate grouped those by tho f-aiiie artist (Mr. Benjamin Porter) of Mrs. Bryce, Mrs. Frelinghnysen, Mi-s Morton, Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish and of other distinguished women, noted for social graces, accomplishments or at tainments." Tho exhibition promises to be a great success financially, and will re main open until the 14'h of January. Tho members of the Plattsmouth Woman's club during tho pasi week havo had a "picturo show." At the residence of II. J. Streight on New Year's evening they welcomed their friends and gave them a ro il treat in the display of pictures, which tire to be hung in our public schools. These pictures cinnot fail to advance the cause of genuine art education in our schools by teaching children to love the beautiful The Madonna of the Chair in the Pitti al Florence and the beautiful Sistino Madonna the latter, it has been said, contains the most glorious image of the Christ child that the world htts ever seen copies of both of these famous pictures art; in this c Election. Who can tell whit sweet lessons of tho Christ-chiid will be gained by the study of lher-e pic tures alone. The other pictures (and thero are twelve) are equally good, in fact there is not a poor picture in the collection. A study of one of Landseer's f.tmous pictures by Winifred Unruh is hung with the other pictures. Tho little artist may never realize that her ex cellent work served as a stimulus to some hesitating child "lo go and do likewise." In the chapel of tho hospital of the innocents at Florence there is a fine painting of the Adoration of the .Magi.

The Heat and Cheapest. The New York Independent, the leading weekly newspaper of the world, and one whose payes exercise the widest influence, is entering upon its fiftieth year of publication. The Independent emphaiz?s its fiftieth year by changing its form to that of a magazine, and by reducing its annual subscription price from $3 to $2;single copies from 10 to 5 cents. The Inde pendent io its new form will print 3,640 pages of reading matter per year at a cost to subscribers of $2, while tho prominent magazines, which eell for $4 a year, print only abou 2.000 pages. The subscriber to the Inde pendent gets 82 per cent more of equally good reading matter at one- half the cost! It is not only the le id- ing family weekly newspaper but by far the cheapest and best.
