3 The Proper Conclusion- t
Printers' Auxiliary.
3 At a recent meeting of the
a businobS men of Nebraska Citjr, t
they cimo to the conclusion that c
3 tho newspapers were the best t
3 friends Nebr iska City had, and fc
3 that hereafter they would give fc
3 them as liberal support as pes-
3 sibio. This is certainly wise on
their part. There is nothing'
that accomplishes as much for a
3 town as its newspapers, and fc
3 when properly supported by the
3 homo merchants, they can do
3 more for a town than all other E
sources combined.

What was the result of the police
investigation? Has ttny one heard of
lines beingr impos. d for conduct un
becoming a gentleman and an officer
of the law? Anyone suspend d or
discharged from the force? If all re
ports are true. something of that kind
ought to be done, and that mighty
quick.
Eleven of the 6tate institutions con
trolled by the pops are now asking for
a total of $622, 7S0 more than they
received in 1897. And this in the
face of the "economy" claims made
during the last campaign. It is an
admission that the last legislature did
not appropriate enough, or else there
has been a lot of money wasted in the
past two years.
Despite the wonderful progress of
the United States during the nine
teenth century, that hundred years
may be said, after all, to have ben
more devoted to preparation than to
expansion. With a revived American
merchant marine and a population
reaching upward toward two hundred
millions, with our natural resources
and manufacturing skill contributing
to our own and the world's comfort,
what will we be during the next cen
tury? Wo HK in o M EN in all parts of the
United States should unite in demand
ing the passage of the bill now in
Congress for the promotion of our
shipping in the foreign trade the bill
introduced by Senator Har.na and
Representative Payne. That bill
means increased employment in
American iron and coal mines, in the
forests, upon the farms, in the
factories, in tho shipyards and on
board the 6hips. It means the re
tention at home of somo two or three
hundred million dollars now annually
paid foreign steamships for doing our
foreign carrying.
One-third ol the senate may stave
off a vote on the treaty for a few days
longer, but this obstructiveness will
end earlj' enough to permit both
branches to finish up the work of put
ting that compact in operation before
the present congress expires, say the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat. When the
vote is taken the country will be sur
prised at the feebleness of the isola
tionists. Probably the contractiooist
vote in the country at large is propor
tionately even smaller than it is in the
senate. Moreover, the longer the ob
structionists hold up the tieay the
smaller their vote will be when that
agreement comes up for final action.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
The erat fying intelligence c mes to
us throU2h the L udo correspondent
of tho New York Tribune that ne
gotiations are in progress between
Secretary Haj and Lord Salisbury
looking to tho dis-Mit inglemsnt of the
two countries represented, f.om the
me-hes of the old Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, and the the taking up of the
question in the liy h t of existing facts.
The facts are that when the old treaty
was negotiated about a half century
ago, the interests of the United States
in this enterprise were far less vital
th'in tlic h f o no , w h 1- tho i t:' -st8
of G'o.it. iiri;ia mm! far gioitor.
The complcti. n of tho Su'-z on ill, and
the lending position miico acquired by
Great Ilritian in its in nagement, to
gether with tho shortC' dis-turu:; to
her East India p leaonsionH which this
route ulTordu, have dr.iwn tho atten
tion of her statesmen that way; while
the growing importance of tho Pacific
coast pofcesslons of tho United Statcn,
together with the recently dtmon
itrated necessity of closer connections
by s,'u, for naval purposes, between
our Atlantic and Pacific sea boards,
h-ivo centered tho attention of this
country on tho indispensable import
ance and value of this gicat public
enterprise.
In view of these facts, tho British
cabinet, with a wise consideration
which is to be all the more appre
ciated because it has not characteri zed
the foreign policy of that country
hitherto, seems wiiiing to cast aside
all consideration of the complications
which have grown up about the former
troaty and treat tho question de novo,
conceding to this country the control
to which its larger interests entitle it.
Should this spirit continue and result
in a mutual good understanding one
of the greatest obstacles to the con
structions of the canal by tho United
State government will hnve been re
moved, r.nd another bond of sympathy
between the two countries will have
been created.
ARMIES AM) NAVIES OF KI KOI'E.
It is said that several years ago
Lord Salisbury communicated to the
emperor of Germany a statement
showing that from 1SS2 to 1SSS the
great powers of Kuro;e had spent
$4,873,575,000 upoi their armies and
navies. This so impressed the Kaiser
that the other great powers were
sounded to the end that steps might bo
taken to call a general congress to dis
cuss tho question of disarmament.
This congress was not called, because
of the opposition from France. And
this nation is said to fctaod in tlve way
at all times, of any step looking toward
permanent peace. The outcome (if the
France-Russian war has left her in a
chronic state of hostility, which noth

write- uyon the subject puts it in the

expense of $710,000,000 "represents

tons of gold. Jmagiae a railway train
of Dinety-nino trucks loaded with gold
eagles, instead of coal, and you have

armies and navies.'' And all this tit a
time when these vast sums are so much
needed for the promotion of internal
improvements in such countries as
Russia; and when all the rest could,1
by reducing the expense of the army
and navy, do so much toward lighten

How Heavers Fell Trees.
Mr. Vernon Bailey, who has recent
ly studied the work of beavers, says
that those animals have an ingenious
method of cutting the trunk of a tree
which they wish to fell. Instead of
attempting to gnaw It straight
through, they make two cuts, one
above another, and then pry out
pieces between the cuts. The result
of their operations is a V-shaped
notch, resembling that made by a
woodman with his axe.

A CRITICAL T I M l
During the Battle of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at Ihe Battle of Santlauoite
Cuba Were All Heroes Their Heroic
Efforts In Getting Ammunition and
Rations To the front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago do Cuba, on
July 23, says: "We all had diarrhoea
In more less violent form, and when
we landed wo had no time to hoo a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and
rush night and day to keop tho troops
supplied with amunltion and ration-,
but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, wo
wore ablo to keep at work and keep
our health; in fact, I sincerly boliovo
that at one critical time this medicine
was tho indirect savier of our army,
for if tho packers had been unable to
work there would havo been no way
of getting supplies to tho front. There
were no roads that a wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself
hnd the geod fortune to lay in a sup
ply of this medicine for our pack-train
befeiro we left Tampa, and I know in
four cases it absolutely saved life."
The abovo lotter was written to tho
manufacturers of this medicino, the
Chamberlain Medicine Co., Dos
Moins, Iowa. For sale by all druggists.
Constituents of at Human Hotly.
All the constituents of a man
weighing 150 lb. are contained in 1,200
ordinary eggs. There is enough gas
in a man to fill a gaso-nieter of 3. (11!)
cubic feet; enough hydrogen to fill a
balloon that would lift himself;
enough iron to make seven tacks;
enough fat to make three to seven
pounds of candles as well as a good
cake of soap; enough carbon to make
sixty-five gross of lead pencils, and
enough phosphorous to make 8.0G4
boxes of matches. Six salt-cellars
full of salt, a good bowlful of sugar,
and a 9V& gallon cask of water are
other component parts.
Four -Eyed Fish of the Tropics.
There is a fish with four eyes along
the sandy shores of tropical American
seas. It is the anableps and is unique
among vertebrates on account of the
division of the cornea into upper and
lower halves by a dark horizontal
stripe and the development of two
pupils to each orbit. One pair of these
appears to be looking upward, the
other sidewise.

Bombarding Clouds In Auntrix.
Iii this country experiments have
been made in inducing rain upon the

namite. In Austria the minister of
agriculture is trying an experiment of
exactly an opposite nature. He has
sanctioned an appropriation of 66,000
florins to establish thirty-three sta
tions for trying the effect of gun fire
in breaking up hail clouds. The army
furnishes the guns. The concussion
and smoke are expected to affect the
atmospheric state of humidity.
