SPUKLOCK, Philadelphia, McKinley victory 1 Continued prosperity! Dewey and Bryan are to have a lit tie conference in . Chicago May 1. The Colorado Springs Gazette advc cates the nomination of Senator Wol cott for vice president. Judge Jessen of Otoe and Frank Beavi9 of Richardson did some pood wire-pulliDg laat Thursday. The democratic convention of New Mexico instructed its delegates to sup port W. J. Bryan for president. We want to see the color aDd the length of the man's hair who thinks he can defeat lion. E. J. Burkett. C. D. Clai'I of Elmwood was lected from Cass to serve on the cen tral committee of the First district. THE sugar kings, the large epecu'.at ore in tobacco and W. J. Bryan have shed large tears ovar the Porto Rican bill. Remember the "mass" meeting of the free silver republicans to be held in an office in this city in the near future. THE Omaha Daily News insists that democracy's hope is in Dewey. It say Bryan's defeat would be certain, and for that reason he should be dropped "Bud" Lindsay of Lincoln is whole host in a political convention Unlike many politicians he can be de pended upon to do what he says he wllL Chakl.es II. Allen, assistant t cere tar j of the navy, has been appointed civil governor of Porto Rico. The selection is considered as a very wise one. IjANCASTEK countv didn t seem so anxious to defeat Judge Spurlock as they did Judge Tucker of Humbolt, but it was evident they would stand or fall together. THE regents of the State University wiU have to look around for another man for chancellor. Superintendent Andrews of the Chicago schools de clines to accept the position. Before the campaign is over thi9 same Porto Rican bill, about which the fusion politicians are making so much fuss, will prove a thorn in their flesh It's going' to be a vote getter for the republicans. THOSE who are better acquainted with the editor of the Journal than are Cass county people state that his productions havo been exceedingly yellow and thesame saffron tintihas marked his recent effusions. Superintendent E. B. Andrews of Chicago has consented to consider the matterof accepting the chancellor ship of the..University of Nebraska, and has come to Lincoln to consult with the regents and to look into the affairs of the institution generally. Ex-Governor Robert W. Furnas is prominentlymentioned for the head of the republican ticket in Nebraska next fall. lie is an honest and capable man and has the confidence of the people. He has been identified with the agricultural interests of the state and ought to he especially popular with the farmers. He is an old soldier as well and would receive the votes of the veterans of the late war. Colonel. Bryan has been endeavor ing to win back the voters of the Pa cific northwest by denouncing the war and financial policy of the administra tion. All of the evidence, however, indicates that he is speaking about two years too late. Practically all of the candidates running for o9ice on his platform since the war with Spain have been ingloriously defeated, and the people say that no matter bow many more such candidates appear they have defeats enough to go 'round. Lincoln Journal. WORK VS. WIND. Hon. E. J. Burkett has had a few days more than four months in con gress and during that time has shown as much good judgment and common sense as anyone ever sent from the state. Instead of making a fool of himself , by making long winded speeches he quietly went to work. It takes a man several months at least to become acquainted with the work and with the members. Burkett has started right He has not tried to make a show of himself. Senator Allen created a sensation early In his career by making a four-teen-hour speech and by ' getting drunk. V7. J. Bryan was In congress four years and during that time suc ceeded in getting an elevator in the postoffice in Lincoln. He spent most of hia time making speeches for pub lication. Dave Mercer has accomplished more, Derbips, than all the other con res men put together and he dasn't made a speech yet. If Burkett will but keep on working and let the other fellows do the talking, ihe people of the First congressional district will stny with him to tho end. s Tlf E PURIO KICAN BILL. The News has been requested by a number of its readers to give a sum mary of the Porto Rican bill. SVw questions will be discussed more dur ing the next six months, and for that reason evervone sbould. Know some thine about it. Take time to read i carefuMy: The new law applies to the island o I'orto Rico and to the adjacent islands lying east of the seventy-fourth merid ian, which are designated Porto Rico By tho law's provisions tho same cus torn duties are levied on all good entering Porto Rico from foreign countries as are levied on the same goods entering tht United States, sav that coffee, which has free entry into the United .States, is to pay a duty of cents a pound on entering I'orto Rico Scientific, literary and artistic work and books and pamphlets printed in the English language may enter Porto Rico free of duty. The tariff section of the bill relating to duties between the United States ind Porto Rico is as follows: "Oq and after the passage of this act all morcbandise coming into the United States from Porto Rico and coming into forto ltico Irom tne United States shall be entered at the several ports of entry upon payment of 15 per cent of the duties which are re quired to be levied, collected and paid upon like articles of merchandise im ported from foreign countries; and in addition thereto upon articles of mer chandise of Porto Rican manufacture coming into the United States and withdrawn for consumption or 6ale upon payment of a tax equal to the in ternal revenue tax imposed in the United States upon the like articles of merchandise of domestic manufacture "Such tax is to b3 paid by internal revenue stamp or stamps to be pur chased and provided by the cominis sioner of internal revenue, and to be procured from the collector of internal revenue at the point most convenient to tho port of entry of said merchan dise in tbe United St ites, and to be af fixed under such regulations as tbe commissioner of internal revenue, with the approval of the secretary of the treasury, shall prescribe. ' On all articles of merchandise of United States manufacture coming into I'orto Rico, in addition to the duty above provided, there shall be a payment of a tax equal in rate and amount to the internal revenue tax imposed in Porto Rico upon the like articles of Porto Rican manufacture Provided, that on and after the date when this act shall take effect, all merchandise and articles except coffee, not dutiable under the tariff laws of the United States, and all merchan dise and articles entered in Porto Rico free of duty under orders heretofore made by tde secretary of war shall be 'admitted into the s'everal ports thereof, when imported from the United States, free of duty, all laws or parts of laws to the contrary notwithstanding. "Whenever the legislative assembly of Porto Rico shall have enacted and put into operation a system of local taxation to meet the necessities of the government of Porto Rico, by this act established, and shall by resolution duly passed so notify the president, he shall make proclamation thereof, and thereupon all tariff duties on merchan dise and articles going into Porto Rico from the United States or coming into the United States from Porto shall be entered at tho several ports of entry free of dutv. "In no event shall any duties be col lected after the first day of March. 1902, on merchandise and articles go ing into I'orto Rico from the United States or coming into tho United States from Porto Rico. The duties coilect-.-d under the above section shall bo placed at the disposal of the president, to be used for tho government and benefit of 'orto Rico until the government of Porto Rico shall have been organized. when the moneys collected shall be turned into the local troa-ury of Porto Rico . Goods imported frcm Porto Rico and under bond shall pay only tbe duty imposed by this act." Under tho governmental provisions of tho new law the capital of Porto Rico is located at San Juan. Persons who were Spanish subjects April 11, 1S00, and who have not elected to pre serve tneir allegiance to Spain are held to be citizens of Porto Rico and entitled to the protection of the United States. The governor is to be appointed by the president and hold bis office for four years, having the powers con ferred on governors of territories of the United States, but he is to make his reports to tbe secretary of state to the president. An executive council, appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate, consisting of a secretary, at torney general, treasurer, auditor, commissioner oi interior ana eauca- ion and five other persons, is to hold ffica for four years. The council is the upper branch of the legislature, five of whom be natives of Porto Rico. The other branch shall be a house of delegates, to consist of thirty-five mem bers elected biennially by the qualified electors. All citiz3ns of Porto Rico shall be al lowed to vote who have ben bona fide residents for one year and who possess tne otner quawncaiions oi voters under the laws' and military orders in force on March 1,-1900, sub ject to such modifications and addi tional qualifications and such regula tions as to registration as may be pre- fCribed by tl executive council. No person ..jail be eligible to mem bership in the bouse of delegates who is not tonty-five years of ageand able to read and write either the Spanish or tbe English language, or who is not possessed in his own right of taxable property, real or personal, eituated in Porto Rico. On the regulation day in November and every two years thereafter Porto II c j may choose a commissioner to represent the island at Washington. His salary is $5,000. The civil government features of the new law are to go into effect the first of next month. Millions 6lven Away. It is certainly gratifying to the pub lic to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The propri etors of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, coughs and colds, have given away over ten million trial bottles of this great medicine; ar.d have the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma, bronchitis,hoarseness and all diseases of tbe throat, chest and lungs are surely cured by it. Call on F. G. Fricke & Co. druggists, and get a free trial bottle. Regular size 50c and $1.

To tho People of Plattsmouth nnd Cass notwithstanding the inclemency of the wealber. tie churches were approp riately decorated for the occasion and the attendants, generallj-, speak of the services as both delightful and im pressive. The extra efforts made to have more and better music on Eister is another reason the services are more enjoyable. It being the anniversary of so great an event it is but meet that only tho best should be given in its celebration by both pa9tors and choirs. Those privileged to attend could oot but feel uplifted and better prepared to meet life's battles. County: Save your money by buying your wall paper of the undersigned.

It was one of the must insane and weak things ever inflicted on a suffering public Plattsmouth Journal. The public should bear in mind that tbe editor of the Journal was not present to hear Mr. Burkett's explana tion of the Porto Rican bill. People who did hear it spoke of it in highest terms. It is difficult to understand how one can have the supreme nerve to make such rank and unjust state ments, having no foundatio-j whatever, in fact. What Do the Children Drink?
