Tn& offoring of terms of peace by the Boera look like the war may be about at an end. Ouk new violinist, Eric Goede, has organized an orchestra with ten pieces He is reported to be a fine musician. and under his leadership we may hope for another musical organization that will be a credit to our city. KENTUCKY republicans held their I state convention Thursday and strongly J i indorsed the administration and in-1 structed its delegates to vote for Mc-1 Kinley for president and O. W. Bradley of Kentucky for vice president. I - - - i HOWARD of Alabama says the mid- roaders are going to make a "red hot campaign" and that they will poll J 2,000,000 votes this fall which went largely to . Brvan four vears atro. They claim the organization in two-1 thirds of the states. Aouinaldo seems. -to be alive and J Issuing proclamation's to his friends to continue to fight. He insists that President McKinloy's commission can not act officially, not having been au thorized by congress to treat with them. It is possible he knows. Senator Wolcott states that of the fifteen delegates to the stato con vention from his town, twelve voted for Bryan in 1896. They are all for McKlnley this year. When Colorado goes back on Bryan and IG-to-l what may we not expect of other states? Governor Smith of Montana has ignored the appointment of W. A. Clark by the lieutenant governor in his absence and has appointed Martin Maginnis to represent the state in the United States senate. There seems to be no end to the fun Mr. Clark is hav ing. Tiik Nebraska university defeated Kansas in the debating contest at Lin- coin Thursday. The decision of the judges wae unanimously in favor of our own people. wnue tne juagea were out W.J. Bryan responded to the demands of the audience for a speech. IT is really too bad Senator Alien and others cannot get the United States government mixed up in the war in South Africa. They would have another opportunity to stand by the bodies of dead American soldiers and insist that President McKinley was a murderer. TWO of Kentucky's moBt prominent) democrats Judge W. H. Yost and R. W. Knott of the Louisville Evening Post addressed the republican state convention.' A great many of the democrats of. that state are in sym pathy with the republicans in the Tay- lor-Goebel contest. The merchants who signed the Sun day closing agreement are to be heart ily commended for the action taken. It will take but a short time for those in the habit, of trading on Sunday to aocuBtom themselves to the change. It is understood that otherB not yet on the list will join in the good cause.

Their coming will rouse a considerable en thusiasm among "true populists" of Nebraska. . D. Clem Deaver will be in clover. Editor Rosewater has been or dered to appear before the supremo court of Nebraska June 5 to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt. He has been writing too many editorials criticising the court, especially the fusion members, Hoi comb and Sullivan. The outcome will be awaited with considerable interest. B.ILTIMOKE BUNCOMBE. At Baltimore, in 1896, the voluble Mr. Bryan made a prophecy, the ful fillment of which he was so cobli Jent abjut that he put it into cold type in that marvel of marital biography called "The First Battle,' Bay a J. Sterling Morton's Conservative. Upon page 464, one can read the cheerful prediction of that great calamity fore caster, as embalmed by the ivy an family canned, as it were, to b, ud at luncheons in 1900, when ho and iiis zealots must eat their own words every day. If we win this fight now reform will begin at once; If we are defeated in this campaign there is nothing be- fore the people but four years more of harder times and greater agitation, and then tne victory will come. Our opponents say that they want to re store confidence, but the republican party cannot restore prosperity in tnis country so long as thnt prosperity is doled out to us by foreigners who profit by our distress. Business men complain tnat ousi ness conditions a-e bad; I warn them that business conditions cannot bo im proved by following out the financial polity which has brought business to its present conditions.". When one reads the foregoing from Mr. Bryan, a man whose profound in vestigations and experiences in finance have astounded the world by their depth, bieadth and height he can but be amazed at the sage and ea-ceJ character of that great and gifted interpreter of future events. Beside Bryan, the seventh daughter of the seventh son is, in the prophecy business, like a tallow caiullo compet ing for the illumination of the world with the sun at its zenith. The marvelous verifications of Brj - -an's readings of the financial condi tions of the years 1897, 1898, 1S99 and 1900, down to date of this isiue of the Conservative, knock the ordinary clairvoyants, mind readers and palm ists clean out of the ring of pretenders and quacks They make Mr. Bryan the royal seer, the king prophet of commercial and financial affair, who alone predicts, with unerring accu racy, the absolute truth and stands as s'xteen to one amongst all other mod ern soothsayers. One of the principal objections the democrats have to Towne as a can di- date for vice president is that he will insist on talking free silver, while Mr Bryan wants to change the subj ct Since none of his predictions of four years ago have come true, ho must ne cessarily mdko an awful noise about - something else in order that the peo pie may forget the patst. lie should be given credit, however, for being one of the greatest schemers on the lace of the earth, and tne way he can jump from one sinking craft to anothor is amazing. Says the Beatrice Express: The true shepherd when he wants tore move bis Bheep across a rocky.dan.gor ous way neither drives nor calls them lie gets among his flock and guides and gently moves them along with him. When Piesident McKinley wishes to bring his peop'e to a higher plane of action he starts them, goes with them himself and they generally are with him when the journey is over. Wit ness the Dingley tariff, the Spanish war, the Porto llican tariff, the Phil ippine war and the coming cmp:iign Democratic congressmen are in something of a dilemma. Tie repub lictn9 have introduced a strong anti trust bill and it breaks their hearts to have to support anything proposed by the republicans and at the same lime they are afraid to oppose it. Among other things the bill provides for constitutional amendment to the effect that "congress shall have power to de fine, roguhite, control, prohitit or di? solve trusts, monopolies or ccmbinii tions, whether existing in the form of a corporation or otherwise." Thk citizens of Weeping Witter have decided to hold a celebration on the Fourth of July and have apponted ccm mittees to make the necessary arrange ments. Plattsmouth has not cele brated that day for several years and there seems tc be little disposition to do so this year. The fact that the B fc M. band is. to be in Kansas. City on that date will probably put a damper on any thoughts our citizens may have had of celebrating. A good band is absolutely essential to a first-elas Fourth of July celebration. The republicans of Montana indorsed President McKinley's administration in convention Thursday,but denounced the members of the party who sup ported Senator Clark in the following terms: "We denounce in unmeasured terms the betrayal of republican prin ciples by the eleven republicans who voted for and assisted in the election at the last legislative 'assembly of a democrat in the person of W. A. Clark to the United States senate." The nomination of Charles II. Die trich as the republican candidate for governor of Nebraska is one of the best that could have been made. He is a man that has made a success in life by his own efforts, and is not a po 1:.; - . . .. . . mician, out, a morougn business man He gained his nomination by no polit ical trickery, but was the choice of the majority of the republicans of the stato. Ho will be elected. Gothen berg Independent. TnE Boer delegates were officially welcomed to the city of New York Thursday. - Mayor Van Wyck ad dressed the committee and assured them of his sympathy. Dii. Lano of the Beatrice state in Ftitution seems to be making a regular fool of bimself in his efforts to retain his. position. One would think him quite as feeble minded as the inmates themselves. ' Had Governor Poynter fired him bodily instead of treating him to a coat of whitewash and asking him 'o resign ho would doubtless have hhd lc-a trouble with him. It 13 hardly likely that there is any scheme on foot to prevent Mr. Rose wnter's attendance at the national re publican convention. If he nas votes enough to elect him as national com mitteeman now, he will have then. It looks more as though an attempt were being made to prejudice some of the delegates against Mr. Schneider, rather than to keep Mr. Rosewater away. Eastern democrats want a demo crat nominated for vice president who is an expansionist and for the gold standard. Bryan and Towne being anti-exp:tnsionists and soft money men, t seems they hope to catch all kinds of democrats. The one object seems to bo to fix up a combination that will catch votes, l'rinciples corao last with unionists this vear. The per capita circulation of the United States today is $-6 oS, as against $21.10 when Mr. Bryan ran for president, lie said tlio circulation w juld become loss and less if free silver was not adoptid. And in those days a false prophet arose and spoke many things unto the people th:it were not true. INFORMATION AMU OPINION. Counterfeiting was oncj punishatlo by death iu England a fact which led a judge, in passing sentence on a m in convicted of that crime to say, "I can hold out to you no hope of mercy here, and I must urge you to make' prepara tion for auother world, where I hope ycu may obtain thnt mercy which a due regard for the credit of our paper currency forbids you to hope for cur."

The following dis patch explains itself: "Pretoria, May IS. It was officially. announced today that when the laagers and forts around Mafekins had been severely bombarded the siege .was abandoned, a British force from tho Eouth taking possession of the place." From the mention of the laagers In the Pretoria dispatch It Is understood liere that prior to the raising of tho 6iege of Mafeklng the Boer laagers around that place were vigorously bombarded by the British relief col umn, and that the burghers vrere prac tically compelled to abandon the siege. London Hoars the 'ewi. London, May 19. The dispatch of the Associated Press announcing the relief of Mafeking was posted outside the Mansion House and the news rap idly spread. A largo crowd collected and at 9:40 p. m. yesterday all the streets in the neighborhood were al ready resounding with cheers. The war office, at 9 p. in., anounced that no news had been received, and at 9:40 the lord mayor in his official robes of office announced the 'joyful news to the crowd outside. The masses of peo ple outside the Mansion House soon grew Ho such dimensions that the po lice were compelled to divert all traffic, omnibuses, etc., through the side streets. Tho cheering was incessant. ISnller Reportt Mure I'rosircss. London, May 19.

Iler Millions Spend a Night in the Street Cheering anil Sinirins London, May 19. Loudon's millions spent half last night in the streets, and even at 4 o'clock this morning troops of young men were promenading, sing ing and cheerinj and there were crowds in front of the Mansion LTouse, Marlborough House, the clubs on Pall Mall, and the war office and in parlia ment square, waving flags and joining in th enational airs. This sustained bellowing and uproar of hundreds of thousands amazes the Englishman who ceases for a moment to be an ac tor and becomes merely an observer. Sober, phlegmatic, London is beside it self with emotion. Gusts of patriotism have set th etown quivering twice or thrice before during the war, but noth ing has quite equaled last night's hun dred square miles of almost furious demonstrations. It Ava sa curious thing for the on looker ot see solemn, gray-haired men toss their opera hats into the air and join iu the hurribane of cheers when a wreath-crowned banner, with the opr trait of Colonel Baden-Powel on it, was borne along Piccadilly: " "Bobs" is a man of his word," sa3 s the Man-in-the-Street. and this esntimcnt is no smal If actor inthe rejoicings of the people. In one" short hour from the time the news was received the scenes in the streets o fmercantile London, usually quite deserted, were almost in describable. Bands, banners and flags sprung suddenly from the earth it seemed. Kvery other vehicle was dec orated with flags. Brass bands were parading and leading crowds who san songs. Colored fire was being burning in every direction. Along Fleet street, the Strnd and Pall Mall, the public buildings were illuminated, and the whole of the west end was alive with enthusiasm. At the war office immense crowds quickly gathered, for although no doubt was thrown on the accuracy of the news tjiere was .the greatest anxiety felt to Roberts. The Associated Press dis patch announcing the relief of the town was sent to the Queen at Wind sor Castle, where Lord Salisbury was rlinfnsr with her majesty, and also to Trinop of Wales at Marlborough House. Special editions of the news papers appeared and the tickers an iiuancea tne news in all the public resorts.
