The Post .says: ''The latest butietuf
ifiom Nebraska City is to the effect that
, J. Sterling Morton and Chaplain Mailley
went down into the Missouri river and
took a much needed bath. The surface
of the waters of the 'Big Muddy' was not
muci disturbed, however." It is com
mendable in the writer of the above that
he tried to temper tho wind to the shorn
lamb, but that does not excuse the inac
curacy of the report. ' If the Post was
going to tell the story at' all he should
have told all of it, and recorded the fact
that tho smell of them killed all the fish
in tho river for ten miles both ways, up
and down.
NEWS OF THE WEEK.
"We will have to wait awhile to get the
facts about the last campaign in the
Philippines. The censored dispatches
that have been printed in the daily pa
pers all bear the ear marks of fraud on
the face of them. Sift them down and
what is there to them? Take all the
things stated as accomplished facts by
Otis himself and what do they amount
to? He has captured forty prisoners, a
woman's wardrobe, a little boy and
bought thirty rifles from the insurgents.
One or two men of prominence are among
the prisoners. That is all there is to it.
Where are all those American prison
ers that the Filipinos hold? Where are
those 7,000 Spanish prisoners? Where
is Aguinaldo's army? Where is Agui
naldo himself? Otis does not allow the
able .md efficient newspaper men who
are maintained in the Philippines at
great expense to tell us about any of
these things, but he cables that the "re
bellion" is stjuelched.
Looking at the map of Luzon and
. comparing his dispatches shows that the
Filipinos hold almost the whole island
still, and that there is daily fighting ac
cording to Otis' own cablegrams within
ear shot of Manila. The island of Lu
zon is about the size of Nebraska.
Would we say that NebrasKa was con
quered if an enemy held a strip of land
say twenty miles wido from South Sioux
City to Rulo? Otis has not occupied a
larger staip of land than that according
to his own dispatches, and yet he says
'that he has conquered Luzon. Tho
wholo thing is a fraud on the face of it
and sent to be used when congress meets
next week.
Tho latest dispatches are to the efiect
that Otis has captured about 90 more
Filipinos and that a few of the 7,000
Spanish prisoners have escaped and
come into our lines. But during all this
time not a line has been received from
any responsible newspaper man. If these
things had occurred and were of the im
portance thao Otis would have us be
lieve, is it at all probable that all these
sharp-eyed newspaper men would have
known nothing about it, or fail to send
dispatches concerning it?
In South Africa, the British claim to
have fought another successful battle,
but the gloom that pervados London
does not indicate that it was anything to
brag about. There seems to be a revul
sion of feeling in England. In a bye
election to parliament, the Joe Cham
berlain crowd put up a military officer
and waved the flag and made the war an
issue, and though the district was
strongly conservative the jingoes got laid
out by a big majority. The. honest peo-

News from China indicate that some
action must be soon taken to give that
island a free and independent govern
ment or we will have another war on our
hands. There is no telling what mis
eries this administration will bring' upon
us as well as upon the innocent people
inhabiting the West Indies and the
islands of the China seas.
It seems that the men who go to the
Philippines must make up their minds
to fight on foot. A while ago a cargo of
mules died on the way, and now another
ship loaded with horses and mules has
returned to port with the whole cargo
dead or dying.
A transport has arrived in Manila
with a portion of a regiment who barely
escaped. The ship was a rotten old
hulk and the men had to bail for their
lives with buckets for days. Part of the
crew deserted at Honalulu knowing
that the ship was unsafe and soldiers
took their place.
A regiment of British cavalry that
went to persue the Boers after the re
cent reported victory have not been
heard of for several days. It is proba
ble that they have concluded to go on
to Pretoria and live a while under Paul
Kruger with the other British prisoners.
The latent word from Senator Hay
ward is to the effect that he is slowly
sinking. He and his family have the
svmnathv of the whole state of Nebraska.
The physicians give out no hope of even
another rally.
HARDY'S COLUMN
Inconsistent -- Dnwey Slopped Over
That Casting Vote - Is it Safe to Trust
the People College Style.
It appears our Philippine army went
out the other day. ten thousand strong,
expecting to meet Aguinaldo with twen
ty thousand. They found only two hun
dred, but these were strongly intrenched
behind heavy breastworks. The Ameri
can army marched up in front, through
an open field and made a terrifi: assault.
The battle was soon over. Six American
soldiers were killed, but the ditch was
full of dead Filipinos over six hundred
were counted besides as many more
wounded. The next report was that
Aguinaldo was running for the moun
taihs with a lot of women and children.

speaking of the African war;
"Airninst the war we h' ve such men
as I lerbert Spencer. Frederic Harrison,

movers upon the other side we have

keen himself to the front in politics, nnd
Mr. Cecil Rhodes, who is resolvedjto boss

had this war if the conscience and the
common sense of the English people
could have only been , aroused. . at . the

on assuring itoelf that the talk, about
war would come to nothing; that tnera
was nothing to tight alout; that the
campaign was only being organized in
the "jingo newspapers;" that at the worst
the pope or tne president oi tne unuea

arbitrate in accordance with tho spirit
of the Peace Convention at the Hague,
and that therefore the outer public need

All For Imperialism
The following letter has been reveived
with the instruction that "If you don't
like my sentiments, you can sling this
into the waste basket" But here it
goes. Read it and see what you think
ofit:
It beats all what everlasting fools
there are in the United States. When
we shouldered our muskets in the 'COs
and went gunning for rebels, we were
out in support of the same principles
the fellows are gunning for now in the
Philippines, and we've been voting for
the same principles ever since, and why
should we bo so foolish as to kick? Mc-
Kinlev is our -man. He was in the front
rank (until made a major) and fought
for imperialism then, and is still at it.
Tho old soldiers ought to stand right up
for Mac through good and evil report,
because we were all righting for imper
ialism in the '00s, and its a .ihanie to
desert a couirade when he gets in a
tight place. Old Abo and Grant and
Logan and Garfield and Tecumseh - Old
Ilosey-Pap Thomas and J. 15. McPher
son and a few hundred thousand more
were for imperialism then. The rep-
party has always stood for that and will
always stand for the same principles. I
believe this is correct, or as near as any
thing the reps do nowadays. But, if
I've made any mistake, please correct
me, for its an error of the head and not
of the heart. W. F. Kfluhhi.

BADLY BEATEN BY A BRUTE
Aged Woman of Lincoln Criminally At'
sanlted by at Young Man.
The charge of assault with intent to
kill and commit rape has been placed
against John W. Ilayden, aged 83, a
grocery clerk employed in Lincoln.
His victim, Mary Dobson, is an old
woman, seventy-seven years old, and
keeps rooms for rent in the Carr build
i rig on P street.
Mrs. Dobson says Ilayden camo to
her place and asked for a room. She
did not notice that he was intoxicated.
She showed him to a room, and re
turned to her own, three doors distant.
She says that after ilayden had un
dressed he came to her room and began
the assault, which she stoutly resisted.
A terrible struggle ensued. She had s
large piece of flesh bitten from her
check, both her eyes were blacked, her
head bears several cuts, and the room
Is spattered with blood. Hayden's
clothing still bears blotches of blood.
Ilayden declares he must have been
drunk, as he does not remember that
he went to Mrs.' Dobson'a place, nor
docs he rcmemler what occurred.
The piece of flesh bitten from Mrs.
Dobson'a cheek has been placed in
spirits and is in the possession of the
police. It will be kept for use at the
trial.

breathed by anybody. Only certain per
sons, however, who breathe the seeds of

tarrhal trouble, is in such a condition,
that he cannot very stoutly resist germ
infection when once introduced into his
tystem, and consequently is liable to 1
develop the disease.
