The prompt endorsement of tie
Monroe doctrine by England is the
greatest triumph that American states
manship has achieved in this century.
By both the speech from the throne
and the speeches in parliament, the
British government made the most di
rect and positive endorsement of the
American policy of American sover
eignty upon this continent, and as
serted that the policy of this nation
was hereafter to be the policy of
England in the East. To President
Cleveland and Secretary Olney must
be given credit for securing the recog
nition of this policy by foreign nations
as the distinctively American policy.
It is true all the speeches expresslj
state that the Monroe doctrine is noi
recognized as a principle of inter
national law but, rather, as a part of
the national policy to which all politi
cal parties are ardently attached. Tint
is sufficient to show that the Monrot
doctrine is an established principle.
Men may disagree upon the question
as to whether the doctrine is inter
national law or national policy, but it
is now certain that the greatest power
recognizes the existence of the doc
trine.
LINCOLN'S DlRfUDAY.
. Eighty-seven years ago yesterday
was born, near the village ,of Hodgen-
ville, Ky., a male child, destined to fill
a peculiar and unexemplifitd place in
history a child coming from the poor
of the land, vho was to be called b
his fellow-citizens to occupy the great
est office that man can confer. This
child was Abraham Lincoln. Elected
by the people to the presidential office
at a time, critical beyond precedent, in
the history of the country when the
highest quality of statesmanship was
required, Lincoln made an ideal Amer
ican president. The jeais that have
passed have b it added to the lustre
that surrounds his name an i today hi?
birthday is receiving observance equal,
almost, to that accorded Washington.
It is meet that this should be so. The
name of Lincoln is great among men
it belongs to humanity and will, in
time, come to be observed the world
over wherever Americans may live.

The sudden rising into prominence
of Gen. C. F. Manderson as a presi
dential candidate is full of signifi
cance. No one seriously takes Man
derson 's boom as earnest but rather
regard it as a clever scheme to cap
ture Nebraska's delegatu n for some
other man. Just who the beneficiary
of this move is to be is a matter of
doubt. Surely it is not McKinley be
cause the McKinley boom is the only
sufferer from this new appearance. It
is but about ten daj s since the ma
chine in this state was franticly bail
ing for the Ohio man, and the sudden
change of front has an ominous signifi
cation to the little Napoleon. It
rather appears to be a Reed cr Allison
scheme and McKinley's adherents had
best look after their laurels. As to
Manderson, he is not a large enough
man to be considered in the race. His
reputation is not such that ce can be
considered a national character and
his nomination would be preposterous.
PERSONAL, POLITICAL AND PERTINENT.
If Wm. Neville could be induced to
accept the position, he could be easily
elected as councilman from the second
ward. Mr. Neville would make a
model councilman, and strong pres
sure will be brought to bear to induce
him to accept a nomination, which
would mean a practically unanimous
election.
Conductor William Weeks, better
known as "Sugar Beet Bill," is re
ported to be about to apply for the ex
clusive privilege of using a new weed
for smoking purposes. One of the
Burlington employes called attention
to the peculiar odor of the smoke is
suing from his pipe the other day.
Mr. Weeks immediately responded
that the contents of the pipe were
nothing less than the leaves of the
beets used in the manufacture of
sugar. lie insisted that it was a cap
ital improvement upon the article he
had been using. Lincoln Journal.
The world is full of microbes. The
tramp is a parasite who eats the bread
of honest toil; the bore is a parasite
who devours the time of the busy
man; the gossip is a parasite that des
troys the happiness of many a home
with words of sugar coated venom;
the slanderer is a parasite that mur
ders character; the hypocrite is a para
site that entraps the unwary with
falsehood while wearing a mask of
fairness. Nebraska City News.
At North Loup arrangements are

It is a fact not generally known that

No one can again tell me that cer
tain customs in the human character
are not hereditary. The recent snow
fall having metled somewhat yester
day and caused considerable mud to
accumulate in the streets, 1 observed
every small girl in town grab her
skirts in her hand and wade through,
although her skirts stood naturally a
foot above the m d. And all the
small boys followed papa's example
and plunged in regardless of soiled
trousers. The two customs are surely
twins and desend in a direct line from
parent to child.
It is positively asserted that G. F.
S. Burton's whiskers turned a peculiar
color yesterday when he read Queen
Vic's speech to parliament wherein
Vic admitted to back down on the
Venezuela business and that your
Uncle Samuel wan too choice a to
mato to be foold with. This action
by England was well, although Burton
will not so regard it. This rash gentle
man seemed to prefer to part with his
"lilacs" rather than surrender, but it
could not be.
Speaking of whiskers brings to mind
the fact that Charles A. Miller had
his ornaments blown off by one of Irl
It. Hicks storms the other day. I
asked permission to mention the fact,
but he answeaed "I'll give you a crack
in the neck, if you do," so no mention
will be made. The aged man appears
quite young again and states he cau
see the sun now for the first time since
1S73, the year of the "crime."
Tonight Herr Joseph Gahin and
the Misses Dovey will give their con
cert at the Presbvterian church. It
i would be a waste of time and space to
give on advice on this because any
lover of fine playing and splendid sing
ing will surely attend.
Dan Stuart's proposed string of
fights appear i be getting decidedly
the worst of it. The fighters and
sports are coialled in El Faso, Tex.,
surrounded on every hand by troops.
Stuart declares the fights a sure go,
but it looks doubtful, to say the least.
Why do men sometimes persist in
wearing their suspenders twisted.
There are some men who make a prac
tice of doing this and just why I don't
know. The habit is oue of the most
uncomfortable in the world and, when
a man has his coat oil, it really looks
bad form. If fellows that follow this
iiabit will take a hint they will quit
this foolishness and brace up.
Geu. Weyier. the new Spanish com
mander in Cuba, has arrived at the
scene of action and issued an ultima
tion or ukase or something that way,
in which he gives the insurgents eight
days in which to lay down their guns,
swords, etc., or be cast from the earth
off. Weyier talks like he meant busi
ness, but it is hard to predict where
he will land. The Cubans have, so far,
manifested no disposition to quit fight
ing, but, rather seem intent on pro
voking more trouble. Weyier will, no
doubt, make a great bluff, but then
Gomez and Maseo are pretty much on
the bluff themselves.
There i one certain young man in
this city whose age is still inside the
school limit, but who is of collectors
the prize member. He haunts The
Jcuun'AL office from the rising to the
setting of the sun, his young face
beaming and glowing with all the en
thusiasm of youth and hopeful that
shekels may be conveyed to his capaci
ous maw. Now all this excessive wear
and tear npon this young boy's sys
tem is needless for he will become
aged and grey and the snows of many
winters will silver his head, even free
silver may become an assured fact, be
fore he will find a newspaper man
with cash. Let bim learn the lesson
early in life for in after years it will
be doubly hard to have the cold, cruel
fact thrust upon him in all its terrible
nakedness.

"Tommy" Moore, father of Alonzo
Moore, who is confined in the county
jail, pending his trial on a charge of

said that he never beard of the story,

Huxley's Courtship.
Sir W. Fowler tells the story of Hux
ley's courtship. When the Rattlesnake
was in Sydney harbor, the officers were
invited to a ball, and young Huxley
among the number. There fcr the first
time he met his future wife, whose par
ents resided at Sydney. A few days aft
er they were engaged, and the ship sailed
for the Torres straits to complete the
survey of the north coast of Australia,
all communication being cut off for
months at a time, and then she returned
direct to England. After that brief ac
quaintance (not longer than a fortnight)
it was seven years before the lovers saw
one another. At the end of this time,
on Huxley's appointment to the School
of Mines, he was in a position to claim
his bride and welcome her to their first
home in St. John's Wood. Huxley's love
at first sight and constancy during those
seven long years of separation were
richly rewarded, for it is impossible to
imagine a pair more thoroughly suited.
