The report is that ia tiie Montana

With victory perched uon their banner.
, It is irncrellv looked upon as a triumph
of justice over fraud.
The masonic lodges of Lincoln are tak
ing active steps to expel all members
who are saloon keepers acd liquor deal
ers. This is in accordance with a rule
nil mod at the last session of the Grand
Lodge. '
An attempt will be made to'divide
Gage county, the new division line pass
ing through the city of Beatrice, within
a block of the court house square. It is
quite likely that a hot contest at a spec-
ial election will follow the submission of
he question.
There is great excitement in Spain
over the supposition that the young king
is dead and that the fact is iieing kept
from the public, but the object for
withholding the truth is not'known, and
the people of 8painTure becoming quite
uneasy.
Calvin 8. Brice, the rainbow chaser
has been made the nominee of the demo
ocratic caucus for senator in Ohio to suc
ceed Henry 8, Payne. It is thought by
some that Brice will attempt to use the
senatorship as a stepping stone to 'presi
dential aspirations.
An ordinance has been passed by the
council of McConnelsville, Ohio, for
building a high fence around a certain
saloon in thatown so" that the only
place of ingress and ""egress will be the
front door. That will stop sneaking in
at the back door bv those who wish to
take a "nip" without being seen.
Ben. F. Baker has been appointed
United 8tatesattorney"for the district of
Nebraska. This is a goodjappointment
and will give very general satisfaction,
Mr. Baker" was a member of the lower
bouse ofithelast legislature where he
demonstrated" the fact that he was the
possessor of a gooddealjjf legal ability.
Judge William D. Kelly, ofTenosylva
nia,better known' as "Pig Iron Kelly,'
died at his home last week. He had
been a "niember'of the lower house of
congress longer than'any other man and
was frequently mentioned as the "Fatlie
of the House." He enteretrcongress

death.
There were nearly 5000"bills"introduced
in the Senate and House previous to the
holiday adjournment, of which 2,500,000
copies were'printed. As'nine out of ten
of these nroDoseu laws were wholly use
less and will never be acted upon, the ex
cense of printing them in such liberal
quantities can only be regarded as a flag
rant waste of public money, ami it is to
be hoped'tbat a"better"! practice will soon
be instituted. "

Go out on the prairies and you will tiuu
the voung man who arrived with scarce-
dollar in his pocket, and on the next
laiin you will find the man with a large
family who lias found it inijoMble to
make a living in tlie older .sett led coun
tries, while in trie next little house you
will find the broken down merchant,
struggling to gain a living on a piece of
land, although uutil he came west he
never held a plow in his life and perhaps
scarcely ever drew a rein over a horse.
For a while all these struggle along and
live from hand to mouth. But reverses
came and they are about to'give up their
claim and seek some other means of mak
ing a bare'living. Juhtat'this point'the
loan cornpany'steps in and advances tlie
means for them to secure a new hold.
With renewed hope the settler goes on
with his work. He improves his farm
and g-athers a little stock aliout mm and
in a few years he can not only jy off
tlie mortgage, but ne tan look the world
prouifly in face and say that by energy
and "grit" and a little timely assistance
from the loan company, he has maile
a beautiful home on the western wilds
and lias benefited his fellowmnn by liene-
fiting himself, for he has transformed in
to a rich and productive farm what
would haveotlierwise have been a waste.
It would be "almost out of the question
to settle the west were it not for the as
sistance of the real estate mortgage, and
tlie records show that a smaller ijr cent
of them are foreclosed than of any other
class of securities in existance. It is on
ly in ease'off indiscreet loan cornianies or
agents tliat any cases of failure to meet
the payments occurs, for in a majority
of cases if a man cannot meet his pay
ments he finds some one who will pur
chase bis interest in the land and tlie new
owner goes on with the improvement of
the plaee and by the time tlie principal
falls due the hind is worth ten times the
face of the loan. Instead'of the loan
companies being a curse to st'new coun
try they are the greatest blessing known
to tbehomesteadera.

A boy by the name of Elkins killed his
father and stepmother in Elk township,
Iowa, a few days ago, and after arrested
he made a full confession of his crime
without any exhibition of feeling what
ever. The judge sentenced him to the

Those best informed in Missouri politics
are expressing Uie opinion that that state
will give a republican majority in 1893.
' The democrats have been gradually los
ing ground for some years and of late
the change has been quite rapid. With
the addition to the republican strength
made by the admission of the new states
and Missouri wheeling into line, the pros
pects are pretty slim for the democratic
" partyjever again ; getting control of the
national government.
The supreme court of tlie state was
re-organized on last Thursday by Chief
Justice Beese retiring , and Judge, Cobb
Mooning chief justice and the newly
tjectr member, Judge Norval, taking
kH eeat on the bench. There were a
Bomber of "aspirants for the position of
' eiirk of the court, each member having

The Foreigner iu Politics.
St. 1-ouis Globe Democrat.
Only twenty members of the popvnar
branch "of congress, it is said, are of for
eign nativity. That is to say, out of the
320 men who constitute that body six
tee were bonrui the United States to
every one w ho was bora outside of it.
This is contrary, of course, to popular
opinion'in this country, as it is radically
opposed to the prevailing notion abroad.
The general assumption during tlie civil
war and since then was and, is that a
large proportion of the Union forces in
that struggle were men of foreign birth.
This opinion too, has been and is still
held on both sides of the Atlantic except
by those who have taken the trouble to
become acquainted with the precise
facis. In reality the ratio of this" class
to natives was small. Of the 2,000,000
men and more w hose names were in
scribed'on the rolls of the armies'of the
Federal Government in the war between
the states, ninety Ove out of every hun
dred, according to our recollection of the
figures, were born on onr soil.
It is a fact which the demagogue and
the socialistic tiuack should bear con
stantly in mind that the foreigner ha
eomnarativelv sneaking, a smaller t-hiire
n tlie management of the country's af
fairs and the development of its interests
and activities than is commonly sup
posed, even by intelligent persons. The
men born ahroard, ills true, comprise
an element of our population important
in number as wen as in lmiuence arm
force, but its proportion of the aggregate
mass is and must continue to he sleauuy
lessening, for, as a class, the children
born here of foreign panintage are as
fully American in instincts and aspira
tions as are the descendants of the men
who landed from the Mayflower.- The
ancient and stale assertion w hich often
does duty for fact in the press of Eng
land and other lurorean countries as
well as in the papers of reckless agita
tors and scalawags here, that the politics
of the United States is moulded and
dominated bv persons bom abroad, s
round to be false when testeo ry tact.
Without detracting in the smallest
detrree from the praise which is due to
the patriotism and potency or tne nat
uralized citizen, it can. truthfully be said
that in both war and in peace tlie
country is defended, developed and gov
erned by those who were bornunder the
