But for the Venezuela' incident Mr.
Cleveland would have gone out of the
presidency the most unpopular and
cordially hated man that ever occupied
that chair.
The Irish National League promptly
came to the front with the otter or a
100,000 armed, drilled and equipped
men. readv and anxious to fight the
British till the last armed foe was ex
pired.
It is estimated by a competent au
thority that the average cost of the
gold now being: mined at Cripple Creek
Colo., is seven centsTfor every dollar
turned out by the lucky miners. Sil
ver mining could not run as cheap as
that.
The president has surprised the
whole world by bringing in a message
taking strong and popular ground in
favor of the Monroe doctrine as ap
plied to the Venezuelan dispute, and
there is every indication that the doc
ument will bring Johnny Bull to teims.
The republicans pretend to be very
much of a jingo party as against Eng
land but when it comes to proposing a
system of finance that is not dictated
by British financiers, and is in the in
terest of the people of this country, the
republicans raise their hands in holy
horror at the suggestion.
The Tribune editor has evidently
forgotten the- oath of allegiance he
took to the United States government
when he got his first citizen papers,
and imagines himself still a subject of
Great Britain at least the effort made
to criticise President Cleveland in last
evening's paper has that sort of a look
to it. Better go across the water if
you want sympathy for Jouh Bull.
British newspapers are expressing
astonishment that the president should
have issued that message, and seem to
think nobody but his party will back
him up. If the British lion could un
derstand how it is that everybody, in
every party has put his fighting suit on
and is for backing up the president
teeth and nail he would be inclined to
take his paw away from those Venezu
ela preserves, and admit that be was
only fooling.
The house of congress yesterday
took up the question and promptly
passed unanimously a bill authorizing
the president to appoint a Venezuelan
commission and appropriating $100,000
for expenses. There was a very ludi
crous side to the brief debate before
the passage of the bill, when Boutelle
of Maine, the most rampant jingoist in
all the country opposed, the passage of
the bill without its reference to a com
mittee for fear that too much haste
might be exhibited! His partizan
hatred of Cleveland got the better of
him and for once he was beaten at bis
own game.

The Platte River Ferry.
The channel of the Platte river has
been cleared of ice and the ferry is now
in daily operation by the proprietors,
Messrs. Thoma3 & Nord, day and

not running was a superfluous false
hood. Farmers wishing to go to South
Omaha market with their stock will
find this a convenient route.

and Jailor Denson went up to Omaha

Have you heard of the wonderful re
duction Joe & Frank are offering on
overcoats and all other winter cloth
ing? Sara Patterson of South Bend was a
pleasant caller at The Jouiinal office
yesterday. He drove down in company
with Mr. Lempke.
Joe & Frank, the originators of low
prices, are knocking the bottom out of

Nebraska weather is full of sur
prises, but a full-fledged thunder and
rain storm, with lightning attach
ments, such as came Monday night at

nicely.
