A tbough tlntr were not mor people in this country willing to accept the government greenback in exchange for their property and their lubor noco ar to curry on tha war than there are volunteer to go to the front.

Nobody else got anything out of it. except wbnt Inciden tal beiiell t it i to the gunner on board whip a target practice. Take the cam of Charleston, Kouth Carolina during the late war. For four oar we had hfp and batteries of heavy gun blazing away at the defence of that city. All they did wa to burn up several million dollar of Uncle Ham' money. When the city wa taken it wa by Sherman' army In the rear. Bombardment have grown a great deal more expensive since then and are nt a useless, but a the bond homo i in ado and the government baa money to burn we inn fxixwt them with regularity to the end of the war, The report that Omaha hotel mid re, taurant ineii were robbing visitor to tit exposition, prove to be unfounded, (lood room and clean, wholesome uteuls ran be secured at acora of plneee In Omaha a cheap) a In other eilie.

When the etocknrd corpora tion wanted a man in the N'ebraekr n- ate it dictate d the nomination of Kena tor 1'addock and furniehed the money to put kirn there.

Am.HTIIK WAK, When the lust war ended a million men were turned bock from the cump and battlefield to the walk of eoeo. They overflowed every industry, but there wa Oil outlet for the overflow. The great prairie state of Nebraska, Kansas, North and Houth I'ukota were a buffalo rauge; the mountain slate beyond were a wilderness; Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and Tex as were only half Nettled.

The old Roman bad a solution of the trouble that followed war. Their plan wo to kill off and enslave the people in the conquered territory and devlde the loud among the oldlers. No won der f he uroohet and leader who are travelling in the track of Rome want to annex I'orto Rico, Hawaii, the Philip, pine and Caroline island a a result of thi wur, The Missouri World, one of thestrong est and most aggressive populist paper In the south, clip the article In thl pa per two week ago regarding the Oregon ehe;tion with approval and says: Notice th conclusion of the Ixokckn- likM't'n arthde! "There is one valuable lesson in the Oregon returns the need of uniting in ONK political party all Americans oooowtd to thl un-American policy," . Jliat I lust wnot we nave favored all along. That waJust what wa beinir ratIdly arjcomollshed when In "Ji tha iftr,i'fc'W-'r, Ot hatdiug oooulist t'aisr in Nebraska, lolnea with other la calling a halt to the uniting of ri-former in one party, ana prociw'ojiy told democrat not to com to the peo- pie party practically told reformer not U unite In one party, we nope ine iitiiKt'KtthKH f and all other jopulst pa per andfoll I'opulist will fi om now an endeavor to unit all reformer in one part in the People party. The statement made by the Isii'KX tiKnr it stand by the need of "uniting la one political party all American op- tosed to the un-Amerhjan policy" of bonded debt and corporation rule Is the greatest msid of the hour. Th World say unite them In th peo ple's part. We say unit them in ay t.artv and that the kernel of our comment upon the result of th Oregon election, It is plain to any student of politic that the reform voter cannot be united in either of th old parties. It has been the hope of th founder of the people party that they might la united In ft organization. In that direction the populist of Nebraska and Kansas mode greater progress than those of any other states In the union, leaving the free silver republican and free silver democrat out of the count a larger per emit of the voters in those state are members of the peoples party than any where else. In that respect our brethren iu Missouri or anywhere have no ad van tuge over us. Ho far a principle go there is no rea son why real reformers should not all unite in the peoples part, Rut suppose they won't, Huppose antagonism and prcjudie have arisen that preveut the joining of all progresive element under our banner. What then? The need of union, of accomplishing our purpose, is stronger than the need of any party. If no party is in the field that can unite all reformer it is the immed iate duty of all reformers to take step toward the organization of one, Thi paer doe not say that such is the case but It doe say that circumstance point strongly In that direction. The result in Oregon point in that direction, I-ct populist in Missouri and elsewhere take notice. The great body of popu list in Nebraska will never again be come democrats or republicans. They wilt try to accomplish result in their own Ntate, to finish the work of redeem ing Nebraeka from the ring of robber wnom they found la power two year ago, to restore the school children their money and the people their rights. They will stand true to the action of theoople' party nationally, so long as it stands by its prcMcut principle. Rut le-yond the claim of any and every party organization they hold the attain ment of their principle and if It shall be found that the people's party cannot unite the forces tieceesury for victory they stand ready to join with honest men of all parties in securing the great est need of the political hour "a union in one political party of all Americans oppoeud to the present un-American IKjIlcy."

The Curribbean sea washes the south shore and the Oulf of Mexico the north. The island Is over 700 miles lonir and from no to 100 wide, In form it resembles a sleeping infant, lying upon his left side, head to the east. In area it is about the size of rennsylvnnia with one-third the population. Its' capital city is Havana, located on the north shore about J50 miles from the wet end nnd Is southwest of Florida, The whole island lies within the torrid zone and abounds in tronleal fruits nnd vegetation. Much of the native timber i valuable, cedar, mahotmnv nnd rosewood. The island hns been under Ppanfsh rule ever since it dls covery, and It has linen ruled in cruel ty and injustice.

It wa stupid politics and worse patriotism for him to persecute too man wuo received 5,fi00,000 votes for president of the United States. Mckinley, with a nar rowness characteristic of the man, ig nored Bryan's offer of services, and when Ifryun begun to raise a regiment of sol diers Alger thought it would be smart to prevent the acceptance of that regi ment. All the anti-democratic newspapers were filled with spiteful gloo'over Alger's shrewd trick. But, It seems, a new light has dawned on the secretary of wur. Jlo ha discovered thut he had made a monumental mistake when Missouri of fered Bryan a regiment, and so he ha changed his plan, Now bo proposes to accept Bryan' regiment and to send it "to guard out frig Islands at the rhillpplncs." Tha Ludroues or Marina Island have been suggested. Thi banishment or Bryan to the other side of the world Is really a brilliant idea.
