siys: "The Fi ipinos have shown
their unfitness for self government at
the very outset by a raah and untiim-ly
manifestation." Unless The News is
greatly at fault the London press
gives expression to the feeling of the
American people as they today read
the telegrams from Manila. The best
time for a weak nation to make terms
with a great power is before invoking
the war spirit. We are naturally
a peace loving race. But we love our
flag and national honor still m; re.
The memory of our encounter with
Spain is still fresh, and it is not prob
able now that any influential voice
will be lifted against prompt and
effective repression of the wanton
attack upon our flag at Manila.
We cannot commend too hinly
some of the bills that aro now pending
before the legislature, and suggest
that the citizens who approve of their
provisions so inform their representa
tives and let them know that their
course in supporting such measures
receives tho commendation of their
constituents. We have in min i par
ticularly the bill by Senator Newell
providing that no transfer of real
estate can be recorded until the taxes
are paid upon the real estate con
veyed. Another measure far-reaching
in its effects, is the one that pro
vides that no m in is eligible to any
oflice within the state of Nebraska,
who has not paid his taxes, both real
and personal. What a depletion in
the rank of candidates or an increaso
in the available revenue of the several
counties in the state should this bill
pass. CasB county would profit by the
passage of such a bill.

General Grosvenor referred to him in
a speech in congress as "that unhung
barbarinn, that vile traitor, who twice
sold his country's lienor for money."
That is biography without the embel
lishment.". In Aguinaldo tho Spanish
strain of bleed is dominant. His edu
cation was Spanish, and his ideas of
govert. meat are derived from the same
source. He accepted a large um of
Spanish money to leave the Philip
pines ai d then sought an opportunity
to return as a passenger on one of
Dewey's transports. No sooner was
he landed than ho began to plot to
sei.2e the sovereignty of the islands

claims to have put tho United States
in a secondary place.
Some of the contractionists papers
picture this vonnl npology far a man
as a hero, the liberator of his people.
One such paper, published in Spring
Held, Mass., says that "Aguinaldo'e
defense against the charge of bribery
is that tho insurgent leaders l ad lost
all their property by fighting Spain
and yet had families to support. They

position of the Aim-riom pe .pie. The
analogy b.-tween tho s';tua.ien inv un-i
that at the opening t f the Civil war
when the American Hag at Sumpier
was tired on, is suflieiemtly e'0-0 to
justify one in citing tho two cas'ts to
gether. Then tho situation was ex
tremely strained, both sidos dreaded
war, and neither side preferred to
strike the first bio.,; tho North especi
ally was greatly dixided upon the
issues before the public, and was will
ing to make any reasonable concession
to prevent bloodshed. But with the
first shot at the national Hag the foes
of the administration wore silenced,
the friends became outspoken, the
wavering ranged themselves upon the
side of national integrity, and the war
spirit carried everything befoi" it.
Similarly the sinking of tho Maine
precipitated the war with Spain.
The London papers interpret the
American spirit better th in sonic of
our senators. Tho l ime? says: "We
imagine the news will strengthen the
determination of America to take up
the white man's burden " The Gra
phic says: "Uy this act of folly the
insurgents have not only courted de

its export trade, and while this trade

INFOK.UATION .Sl OPINION'.
Ct.a les II. Ho, t. the well kn wn
author o 01 my lollicknij' f :ce .u.il
mu-ic.l cora-uies, has btoieii doAn,
and is now in Washi igion at the Ail
inglon, under tne care f Dr. Barry,
of 1 ork, Irel nd, prt p iring for a trip
to Hot Sot ings, Va , where be hopes
to recuperate. The failure of Mr.
Hoy t's comedy, "A Dog in the Man
ger," seems to have produced the
climax in his unfortunate mental acd
physical deterioration. It was pro
duced recently in Washington and fell
li t, nd w. be iiiken fr'm ine b mi ds.
Mr Il yt is si. id t. bo a mtnt'tl and
plnsica1 wreck, and his friends fear
that tie will never bo himself again,
so far as a remarkable productivity in
stngo authorship is concorned. Of
lute Mr. IJovt has been tho victim of
t eavy mislortunes, and it is
feared
that ihe recent death of his beautiful
wife, Caroline Miskel Hoyt, and that
of his child, have preyed on his mind
to such an extent that he will b'3 long
in recovering from the shock of those
great s-orrowa. Mr. Hoyt has been one
of the raoi-.t prolilic of modern farce
writers, and has probably t-cored more
popul .ir successes in this line than any
three of his con tempo iries.
Corporal W. L Kiilian of Wahoo,
late a member of tho First Nebraaka,
who has just returned from Manila,
assert that there was di.-crimination
between regiments as to the amount of
pay received by discharged soldiers,
and that the Nebraska boys were the
slighted ones. He has written a let
ter to Adjutant General But ry, who
has referred the matter to tho secre
tray of war, with a request that tho
charges be investigated and tho ac
counts of the soldiers be properly ad
justed. In the district court at West Point
Mrs. Grace Nicholsen of Winner was
given a verdict for 2,2U 40 against
the Musonie Aid association of South
Dakota, in which company her de
ceased husband was insured for $3,0(M).
The company resisted p ivme-nt on tho
ground of suicide .
1. l Sullivan of West l'oint, who
has conducted the Progress o that
place for twenty-three years, h is sold
the paper to McLo in & Miller of
Wahoo, and will retire to private life.
He has made a great success of tho
paper.

"Nothing liice Foley's Honey and Tar"
is the universal verdict of all who
have used. Especially has this been
true of coughs accompanying and suc

j CLEANINGS.
OMKof tho Chicago people (tho
editors, at least) ro becoming
aiurraed over tho fact that tho "effete
' oa&t" 'd drawing upon tho west for its
brightest and best pulpit orators. From
a recent editor iul published in a Chi
cago daily we clip the following: "Not
content with robbinp- Central church
of tho Sunday morning eloquence cf
Dr. Ilillis, New York is now casting
covetous eyes upon Dr. Hirsnh of
Sinai Temple. Next week it will b)
some other pulpit star, and the week
after it will be ono or two others.
This utain upon tho western city's in
tellect and eloquence has been going
on for years. Now Chicago naturally
has more brains and talent than any
other city 0:1 the continent, but no
city in tho nalutu of things can have
good preachers to burn. Not that
Nev York is in immediate danger of
following the example of Sodom and
Gomorrah; the supply of fire and brim
stone has unfortunately run out on ac
count of a largely increased demand.
But though New York is naturally in
need of all the religion it can get, it is
not fair that Chicago should constantly
be robbed of its brightest ecclesiastical
lights to supply the Cimmerian void.
The whole east needs moral recon
struction in this matter of pulpit rob
bery. If Gotham has in times past
taken from us Dr. Hall and a score of
others like him, Boston has also taken
Dr. Lorimer and Washington has cap
tured Dr. Bristol, while Dr. Strykcr
and Dr. Barrows have likewise gone
to maintain the old and exp oded
claims of tho east in the matter of in
tellectual superiority. These are only
a few names picked out at random.
They stand as representatives of a
long list of eminent names that belong
the the west, but have beer, embezzled
by the insatiable east."
Some live years ago a "leading Pres
byterian riper, published in Chicago,
"hfid this to say of the same. Dr. Hillis
recent ly called to P yniouth church:

Max OTIell in a recent number of
the North American Review speaks of
tho coming new religion: "Tho Re
ligion of Christ," and by way of illus
trating what this new religion will
teach he tells a touching story of the
pleasures of poverty in the case of a
cheerful, happy looking old "woman in
Edinbu.gn, who sold sweets to the
children of the Congate, a squalid spot
in the Scottish capital. Her whole
stock amounted to no more than a
couple of shillings, ar.d she once told
OTiell that when at the end of a day
she had made six or eight pence she
was quite satisfied. Seldom was a
child who could not afford to pay her
allowed to pass that basket of those
pink and rose candies without, receiv
ing ono for love. At her funeral bun
dreds of barefooted little boys and
girls in rags followed their departed
friend down the Congate. And the
genial Frenchman says: "When that
old woman arrived at the gates of
Heaven there were mote angels to
meet her and take her to the throne
of the Almighty than there would be
for the arrival of all the dukes in
Christendom."
No Right to Ugliness.
The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be attrac
tive must keep her health. If she is
weak, sickly and all run down, she
will be nervous and irritable. If she
has constipation or kidney trouble,
her impure blood will cause pimples,
blotches, skin eruptions and a wretch
ed complexion. Electric Bitters is the
best medicine in the world to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to
purify the biood. It gives strong
nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety
skin, rich complexion. It will make
a go d-tooking, charming woman of a

A CRITICAL TIMIi
During the Battle of
Santiago.
SICK OK WELL, A KUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba Were All Heroes Their Heroic
Efforts In Getting Ammunition and
Patlons To the rront Saved the Pay.
P. F.. Butlor, of pack-tr ain No. .5,
writing from Santiago do Cuba, 011
J uly 2o, says: "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 case of rush and
rush night nnd day to keop tho troops
supplied with amunitiou and rations,
but thanlts to Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, wo
were able to keep at work and keep
our health; in fact, I sincerly believe
that at ono critical timo this medicino
was tho indirect savior of our army,
for if tho packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front. Thore
were no roads that a wagon train
could use-. My comrade and myself
had the good fortune to lay in a sup
ply of this medicine for our pack-train
beforo we left Tarn pa, and I know in
four cases it absolutely saved life."'
