The irrepressible stump speaker,
Bill Mason of Chicago, who, by some
inscrutable permission of providence,
blundered into the United States sen
ate from Illinois not long ago, has
broken loose again. This time it is in
a flamboyant harangue in favor of self
government for- the Filipinos. As
well talk of self government for full
blooded Choctaws. Translate his
speech into the commonest Filipino
vernacular, and the best of them would
not know what he was talking about.
The right of self government depends
on the ability for self government.
Tho nomination of Albert J. Bev-
eridge of Indiana for U. S. senator by
the republican caucus of tho legis
lators of that state, is one of those
events which go far toward keeping
up confidence in human nature. A
yountr man, fresh from the people, who
had fought his way upward from the
ranks of the hardest, and by his un
aided efforts taken the honors of the
university in his rise, he finds him
self at the age of thirty-six by sheer
force of popular sentiment, and in
spite of the impending inertia, as well
as active opposition which stand in the
way of every man of that age who is
put forward for such high honors, the
nominee of his party in the state, and
the welcomed associate of his party in
the senate of the United States. We
shall hear from this young man again
LANCASTER WANTS THE EAKTII
When the republicans figured out
the present congressional districts tue
boast was freely made that it was
ttfelv republican, and no democrat
would ever be elected. But they were
mistaken. Now these same statesmen
propose to do the same thing in this
judicial aibtrict. iney ao noi uko lor
Judge Ramsey to be on the bench and
to hereafter insure the election of a
republican they propose to do away
with the Second district and annex it
to the Third. This means that Lan
caster county intends to capture all
the iudeeships. - But we ao not be
lieve that the peop'o will endorse any
such a scheme, and we know that Otoe
and Cass counties would not favor auch
an alliance. Nebraska City New-
The News-Herald is now and al-
wfiy has been a republican paper, aDd
while we a'wnvs favor the election of
opur):ic- u offi.vvs, yet are unalterably
i p il 'r i- k' ig Cass and Otoe coun
t r- I wh nearer for judicial purposes,
d his respect agree with our
rn ; tie frierd at Nebraska City.
A f r- ;ce tn ihe vote on governor
o election shows a majority
i
J.
C s and Otoe counties of 364 for
IJ .vvsard. From this it would
s emtha; ihe Second judicial district
is republics. J-.uL c'luu.s'e the re
publican vote of Cass nn-l Otoe coun
ties with Lancaster on governor, and
Lancaste r castB more than 1,000 more
votes than the combined vote of Cass
and Otoe counties. And thus The Ne
braska City News is correct in saying
that Lancaster intends capturing all
the judges. We believe the people of
both Cass and Otoe counties are prac
tically a unit against such a change.
RE PR K SENT ATI VK DINGLEY.
By the death of Nelson Dingly the
republican party loses one of its best
leaders and. the nation one of its
ablest statesmen. Though a strict
party man he was a ereat deal more
than that. Beyond any other member
of his party in the house of represen
tatives, he had mastered the financial
problems of the present time, and rep
resented in tbat body the policy of the
present administration. Like so many
of our best men who are taken away
in the zenith of their usefulness, he
was the victim of overwork. What ho
could do so much better than others
they depended on him to do, and he
felt the full measure of responsibility
for doing well. As a result, when
disease came, and he needed reserve
force to combat it, the supply was too
nearly exhausted and a useful life that
should have extended ten yoars longer
was sacrificed.
BATTLE 8HIP8 ON PACIFIC COAST.
Intelligent patriots and friends of
the commercial expansion of the
United States are glad to note the safe
arrival of the buttle ships Oreeon and
Iowa at Callas Peru, and the depar
ture of the former for Manila by way
of Honolulu, and of the latter for San
Francisco. Tho Pacific ocean is to be
the world center of interest for the
Dext century, and we do well to take
tim by the forelock.
AH TO vrf I XL. IUNIS
Tho preHn Jin:iiu w i 1 1 be -n' led
on to puns hi on t t in-ition which
failed in tho l t'.s u w.tjca 8 rniir
to provide fo - le i m 1 out f ;ht
state lrfca-.ur . f Hi. i r iiiium n n
guaranty h..i d fo. lln- -tu u irnH-urei.
Tho propofi ' ion may uven tnk-
broader cop3 and provide aleo for tho
paynient out of the county treasuries
of the premium on guaranty bonds for
county treasurers. There are cer
tainly as valid reasons for the one as
for the other, sayB the Bee.
Without regard to tho question
whether under tho present law and
constitution the state treasurer can
legally give a guaranty bond, it will
bo difficult to draw the line if the
state undortukes to pay for the bonds
of its public officers. Under tho ex
isting bvsu-m wo require official bonds
not only from fctote treasurers and
county tro; surer.-, but from almost all
of our pub ic officials and many public
MiH'loyrs. Bonds aro exacted from
officeholders from governor down to
po. icemen and while there is a vary
ing risk to tho public dependent upon
those offices it is at as much of a
hardship upun them to procure official
bonds through tho favor of personal
friends or by purchasing a guaranty
bonds as it is for treasurers into whose
custody large sums of public money
nre entrusted. To be sure the bond of
a policeman is conditioned simyly up
on his faithful performance of duty.
but the condition is practically t he
same in the case of treasurers holding
public office.
The line might possibly bo drawn
between public officers charged simply
with the satisfactory performance of
duties and those entrusted with public
property for whoso keeping they are
held responsible. Still even here the
demarcation is extremely hazy.
It is well enough to lament the
hardship imposed upon stito and
county treasurers by the requirements
of large bonds to cover a possible
shortage, but, the legislature will do
well to look before it leaps and to ex
amine carefully tho consequences of
any new departure before endorsing
the propositions on this subject that
are before it. One thing is clear, if
the taxpayers are to pay for the bonds
insuring tho integrity of tho state
treasurer, they must in justice pay for
the bonds of all othe public officers.
THE MILKS-EAliAN V A It.
The controversy between Commisary
General Eagan and General Miles over
the quality of beef furnished the
troops in tho Cuban campaign, has
clearly reached the acute stasre, and
at the present time General Miles is
clearly on the defensive. His state
ments respecting a bid quality of
canned meat, ns well as what he was
pleased to call "embalmed" bet f, has
given additional color to the suspicions
of foreign buyers, especially Germans,
that A met ics n meats require such
close official inspection us to justify
uufiiendly legislation respecting their
importation. This of course involved
the great American packers, and the
Armours and Swifts -f Chicago, with
otherB elsewhere, have not been slow
in responding to the challenge nor un
certain in the character of their testi
mony. And one cannot read the state
ments of the great business houses,
whose word passes unquestitioned
wherever they are known, without
neeling that General Miles has beef
hasty and indiscreet in his statements.
And now comes General Eagan, more
immediately concerned than anyone
else in this part of tho investigation
and uses langu ige, which to military
ears must sound novel. It reminds
one of the major excommunication in
the Cathoiic church in its comprehen
siveness and intensity. Of course at

INFORMATION AND OPINION.
Many ask why small pox will spread
more rapidly in cold weather than in
warm, and a physician answers and
says: Cold weather is favorable to the
Boread of the disease, not because it
affects it directly, but because it
forces people to keep their houses
closed tightly and fresh air is not
given a chance to exercise its purify
ing functions. Nebraska City Press.
The Deepest Shaft.
The deepest shaft in Colorado Is that
of the Geyser mine, at Silver Cliff,
which penetrates the rock to a depth
of 2,400 feet. But even that is a shal
low puncture beside the one which
goes down Into the depths of the Com
Btock Lode, again active and produc
tive. In that wonderful treasure house
from which more than five hundred
millions in value have been taken out,
the new explorations are expected to
reach a depth of fi.000 feet.

The Krtviow of Reviews for January
has an article on "Tho American
Woman as Housewife." Chief among
the accomplishments of the American
woman is her talent for housekeeping.
The uneertaintj- in securing servants
for in America anything may be had
for money, but a good servant lat of
all and probably the influence of a
hard working sensible ancestry have
had their effects. An American woman,
with the exception of very moneyed
Americ an women, can run her house
without a "help" if she needs to, and
run it so well that one cannot always
credit there is no retinue of servants
behind. She keeps her house bright
and beautiful but not at the expense
of her personal appearance, she being
always neatly and prettily dressed
whatever she does. Her house is most
conveniently appointed for the t-aving
of labor and useless drudgery, the rea
son being that the prevailing stubborn
ness of servants in trying rew appli
ances has small weight in a country
where "brainy" women have so ( fu n
to do their own housework . and
naturally choose the brst ways to ac
complish it. It wouid bo a revelation
to some ardent English housewivts to
know that the ladies one meets at an
afternoon whist party- in America, who
have a ciub mc eting for every day in
the week, or who lounge in th' ir
piazza hammocks as though lifo were
one long holiday, who are all anima
tion and vivacity, have now and
again, perhaps all the time, been doing
housework of some kind. We should
have two or more serv ints, for, in this
country, getting up in the morning to
cook elaborate breakfasts t f hot bread
ani various indispensable dishes and
later making cakes, candies and dainty
stuffs, besides the real meals of the
day. Thus does Miss Edith Young in
the "Lady's Kenlun" view us with a
critic's eye.
In that delightful book by Lilian
Bell "The Under Side of Things"
is a pretty description of tho dear old
flag. "No one could deny that the
room was beautiful for the military
lends itself ready to the decorations.
From crossed sabres and stacked arms
up to small cannon, everywhere wore
the signs of tho peaceful sido of war;
and over and under and above, in all
kinds of soft draperies and floating
festoons, the flag, the dear, dear old
II ig, that tl ig which taste and love
and patriotism all combined m ike us
think the most beautiful in the world;
the flag which pulls at your hea t
strings like a human thing when you
see ii floating anywhere; which makes
you w-.nt to put your hands on it and
love it if you see pictures of it with
hosts of others; which, when you acci
dently lun across it in Europe, makes
you want to hug it and kiss it and cry
over it if you are a woman, and stand
up and take your hat off to it if you
are a man."
But It Dldat.
In 1840 a great convention was held
in this city by the young men of what
was then known as the Whig party for
the purpose of ratifying the nomina
tion of Gen. William Henry Harrison
for the presidency. There was no hall
in the city large enough to hold the
crowd of delegates who attended. The
convention accordingly met on the
Canton race-track, and when the Whig
orator of this state, who was chairman
of the Young Men's national commit
tee, arose to call the meeting to order,
he was so Impressed by the vastness
of the assemblage before him that, in
stead of the usual formula, he exclaim
ed: "The nation will please come to
order." Baltimore Sun.
Pretty Pettlr-oats.
These grow more and more luxuri
ous. Some notably beautiful ones In
white muslin have pink silk lining,
and are covered with insertions of
white lace placed horizontally; this U
continued not only on the deep flounce,
piped at the heading, but also to the
waist. The silk ones, mostly glace,
in light tones, which for the darker
days are subdued by black lace, are
made much in the same way, though
where a year ago a dozen yards of
lace were employed, two dozen are
needed now.
Fond of Moslr.
"There are few things," said Sena

vocally, I like that a negro make?
There's a peculiar harmony in a ne

calculated to inspire the most sduggarc

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle of

SICK OR WIOLL,, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle ot Santiago de
Cuba Were All Heroes Their Heroic
f forts In Getting Ammunition and
Nations To the front Saved the Day.
P. K. Butler, of pack-train No. 15,
writing from Santiago do Cuba, on
July 2o, savs: "Wo all had diarrhoea,
in more less violent form, and when
we landed wo had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a cao of rush ;ind
rush night and day to keep the troops
supplied with amunition and rations
but thanks to Chamberlain's Coiic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we.
were able to keep at work and keep
our health; in fact, I sinccrly believe
that at one critical time this medicine
was the indirect savior of our army,
for if tho packers had heen unablo to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to tho front. There
were no roads that a wagon train
codld ue. My comrade and myself
had the good fortune to lay in n sup
ply of fiis medicine for our pack-train

four cases it absolutely saved life."
