Itesides, it is said the senators cannot
agree upon the appointment.
Accordino to Senator Teller, the
new republic of Cuba isn't so much to
k pittied. He says that Cuba exports
more In proportion to population than
'an j other country in the world. She
imports more in proportion to her pop
ulation than the United States. She
is not under the expense of maintain
ing an expensive army and navy to pro
tect herself. We insure her protection
from outside enemies. With such con
ditions she should lie envied rather
than pitied. The per capita wealth
there is greater than it is in the Uni
ted States.
If the state normal school Is to be
removed from Peru, why not place the
building upon one of the classic hills
that surround Tlattsmouth, overlook
ing the Missouri, and for miles and
miles the beautiful scenery on the Iowa
side of the river? We have severa
very suitable locations for such an in
stitution, and so far as to accessability
Plattsmouth is far ahead of most any
other city in the state, outside of Oma
ha and Lincoln. The H. & M. and M
P. railroads furnish us with twenty
four passenger trains every twenty-four
hours. Had our citizens ever thought
of such a proposition?

iroes to selling whiskey by the drink to

Just alout as sensible suggestion as
the proposition for cities and towns
to take charge of the liquor question
and become saloonkeepers for the rev
enue to be gained thereby. We are
satisfied that the l0,ooo per annum
Plattsmouth already realizes through
the license system, is more than the
city would get by taking charge of the
saloons, after paying rents, the num
erous bartenders, stock, etc. A great
many cities would be better off than
by this proposition, if some law could
be enacted by the legislature this win
ter compelling the prompt payment of
taxes as they become due. The muni
cipal saloon proposition is simply pre
posterous, that's all.
The legislative committee of the
State Teachers Association, it is saia
will ask the legislature to enact a law-
prohibiting persons from teaching
school in the state under the age of 17
It is thought that such a law
would make a greater demand for oth
er teachers and as a consequence wages
would be raised, lhe committee w in
also recommend a four years term

W ater Iiepublican.
The legislature should enact no such
law. It would be an injustice to young
ladies engaged in fitting themselves for
teachera. It Is much to theircredit to
make the assertion, but there are many
young ladies under the age of 17, en
gaged in teaching today who, so far as
qualifications are concerned.are greatly
superior to many of the drones, who
are laboring to retire them that they
may be enabled to exact larger salaries.
If these young ladies work harded
than boys in getting to the front in
educational matters, for heaven's sake
don't discourage them in their efforts
by telling them they must become
measly old maids before they can as
sume the responsibilities of the school
room. God bless and protect the ener
getic young school manns.
TnE democratic editors of Nebraska
will meet in Grand Island on the 23rd
day of February, according to the call
of President Adams. This meeting
should be attended by every editor
coming under this cognomen in the
state There are among the craft in this
state, as there are in every other state,
In all probability, who think that noth
ing Is to be gained by such meetings,
but an experience of nearly forty years
in the democratic newspaper harness
has long since convinced the writet
to the contrary. Were it not for the
so thorough organization of the demo
cratic press of that state, Missouri
would not be so reliably democratic as
it is. The writer knows whereof he
speaks, and every leading democrat in
that state will bear us out in what we
have stated. At a recent meeting of
the democratic press association of
Missouri every paper advocating the
cause of the party was represented. If
the democratic papers wield such an
influence in Missouri, we in Nebraska,
thoroughly organized, should be able
to do some good. The Journal can be
counted one among the number to be
represented at Grand Island.

It was seven years ago that an at
tempt was made tost rangle Venu.ela,
but it was a democratic president who
pasted to his dispatch the Monro Doc
trine and sent it to the would-liest rang
ier, and the .strangulation idea was
given up in short order. The Journal is
not particularly an admirer of trover
Cleveland, but it cannot lie denied that
he deserves more credit for many things
he did while president, than a great
many democrats are willing to give
him, and this incident of seven years
ago is sim ply one of them. And, furth
ermore, he would do the same thing
today were he the chief executive of
this nation. Tor backbone President
Cleveland possessed his full share.
The question of capital and its rela
tion to labor was brought so promi
nently to the front In the recent strike
of the coal miners, and the miner's
union was so successful in their efforts
that labor will most certainly cut a
wide figure in the next national cam
paign. President Mitchell, who show
ed such matchless skill in the manage
ment of the strike, is already talked of
for governor of Illinois, his home state.
Suppose the lalior unions of the entire
country should unite forces in the next
campaign, and either run their own
candidates or resolve to go solidly for
whichever party that would incorpor
ate their platform. Then the politi
cians would have the light of their
lives on hand.

What Do You Think of It?
Over at Beatrice the question has
been advanced, '-Can a municipality
of Nebraska legally, under the .siocum
law, operate a saloon?" Beatrice, it
seems, is in about the same condition,
financially speaking, that Plattsmouth
is. and in discussing ways and means
to increase their revenue and pay off
their obligations, this question was
brought up. A prominent attor
ney of that city, in discussing the prop
osition, gives it as his opinion that it
can be done, and states also that it
would be a source from which the city-
would be greatly benefitted financiallj-,
and at the same time do much toward
making everybody live up to the law.
In a correspondence from Beatrice to
the Lincoln Journal of a recent date, a
prominent business man and heavy tax
payer has the following to say, which
shows "there are other" as "deep in the
mud" as Plattsmouth "is in the mire:"
"We are heavily in debt and credit
ors of the city are constantly suing for
interest, and under the stress of cir
cumstances such a plan should be
adopted. I am informed that the
profits from one saloon, operated under
the management of the city would in
five years wipe out the city's indebt
edness. My idea would oe to purcnase
none but the purest of liquors: use only
registered glasses and have the busi
ness conducted on business principles.
In order that the schools would not
suffer, the same amount should be paid
the school district which is derived by
it from the saloon licenses. An ordin
ance, if I am correctly informed, could
be framed and adopted which would
conform to all the requirements of the
Slocumb law. The city could get a
bigger revenue from the business than
Is now realized because of the reduced
expense, one establishment double the
capacity of any saloon now in operation,
could be run at little expense.
"There are now six saloons in Beat
rice Davinira total of 7.5K) yearly li
cense. The plan has not been talked
of much but is favored by everyone to
whose attention it has been called.

Postmaster General Payne recom
mends that he be permitted to say
what are and what are not newspapers;
it would be easy for him, if so disposed,
to limit second-class privileges to those
publications whose editorial policy con
formed with his views. Imitate the
Czar of Russia, so to speak.
It begins to look as though the po
litical complexion of the proposed new
states will have more to do with their
prompt admission than will their fit
ness for statehood. If -it is oncluded
by those who have the say-so that they
are reliably republican in they come,
and if otherwise out they stay.
Representative Gaines of Tennessee,
recently moved to amend a bill admit
ting some bonded tea free of duty, by
removing the tariff on coal. "Willthe
gentleman inform me what possible
connection there is between tea and
coal?" asked Mr. Payne, sarcastically,
"I thought you might like a little coal
to warm your tea with," was the
prompt reply.
If we need a navy equal to Great
Britain's why not a standing army
equal to Germany's? Then, with sev
eral hundred thousand wage earners
removed from their sphere of useful
ness and trained only in the art of cut
ting the throats of their fellow-men,
the wage workers can work over time
to support the soldiers and sailors and
thtir families.
When a few bull-headed millionaires
can force thousands of people to shiver
through the winter by restricting the
supply of fuel, is it any wonder that so
cialistic doctrines grow in popularity.
The time is not far distant when muni
cipalities will forestall such emergen
cies by providing great supplies of the
necessaries of life to sell to the deserv
ing public at actual cost. The present
system, under which the supplies of
both government andpeopleare at the
mercy of a handful of a rapacious indi
viduals, is bound to untimely promote
government control and municipal
ownership of public necessities. And
that is socialism.
Have you not iced, you thick and thin
republicans, where your markets are
going? Cattle are away down flat, and
stocks and bonds took a" tumble the
very day after the election and why?
We don't pretend to know the reason,
but we do know if the democrats had
carried congress and there had been a
slump, that the newspapers would
have howled themselves hoarse over
the wickedness of the democrats in de
stroying prosperity. Hogs are down
and cattle are cheaper than they have
been for a year. Markets in almost
every line are coming down, and yet
the democrats did not carry congress.
Is it possible that confidence has to be
restored once more? Perish the
thought. With the republicans in
power in every branch of the gov
ernment, how could anybody be so
vile as to even hint that times might
become hard and prices low.
