Despite the indications of a row be tween the United State and Unit, u latter country is going right along with its preparations for an exhibit at tl world's fair. That is the spirit which should be shown not only by nat!ins)ut by Individuals. Because: people differ on one point is no reason why they should Oe enemiet in au maiicra. The reports from Washington are to effect that the prejiarieos for war with .ili aw about completed all is in readiness for the formal declaration of war.ai?4 that nation, it is. staten that Admiral Qheardi will, be in cliarge of the naval forces and that Gen.

Chadrun Journal. In view of the position taken by Rose- water and his Bee toward Gov. Thayer in the matter of the contest against alien Boyd, the demand of the Bee that Clov. Thayer let bis meat ax detach tbsafRcial 'head o( State Oil Inspector- Caans comes with rather poor grace. So long as Rose water believed he could ooatrol the actions of bov. Thayer all was well, but .when the chief executive demonstrated ,that be bad a mind of his own and would .not allow himself to be dictated to, the Bee at once proceeded to jump on his jpecfc, hut iV avails nayght. The exports of American products to foreign countries, during tits month of November was the largest ever known .and reached the enormous sum of f 110,' 1000,000-00. The mercantile business of the United States under reciprocity ap pears to be thriving nicely and in con ttafttly on the increase, The exports of Uie past twelve months lias exceeded the jjmports by 1120,649,304. and Unit amount ,of cold, dummy cash must be paid by iforeign nations into the exchanges of the United Status from whence it will flow jipto all the channuhi of trade, . The annual meeting of the state board ,of agriculture will be held next month ,commencing on the third Tuesday in Jan ,uary, 182, which i the 19th. At that lisae the election of officers will occur . and the premium list for next year be made up. No matter what else is done the members who desire to see the busi peas of the stats board prosper should is it that the peseent secretary, ex-Oov Root. W. Furnas, is re-elected to the position he now holds. The state board ai agriculture baa done a great deal to push the developments of the state in iU rapid strides and no one man baa done lIUOTB than has Mr. Furnas. He baa filled iba office well and baa the work so well organized that he can give to the state much better service than would be pos sible for a new man to do. Ha has had the experience and the interests of the state will be subserved by keeping bim n his present position. The Lincoln CaU makes a great fui because Omaha did not elect a Lincoln snaa secretary of the beet sugar orgaai jatioo and kicks because ex-Lieut Gov.

A good deal of interest is manifested in the case. From the numVer of such ntnrti-tml nt late it Would. bS well "r 'i - l for men to be compelled to. siiow UM hey are elegible to an office before their names' can be placed on tneT (iTJcial bal lots. The people of a new country almost invariably have a hard time fox tte first few years, but a case of real suffering from want is scarcely ever found in the frontier districts or, in fact, in any of the rural districts. In contrast to this, look for a moment at the condition of hun dreds of thousand in, t'W lV"V towns and cities all over the nation. It is not simply aq isolated case here and there but liouse after house, it, found wlere poor, miserable, half-clad and starving people can be found every winter. Dur ing the Rummer they are able to eke out an existence because some work can be obtained and tbe cost of living is less. but when the cqjd, blasts of winter come, thei? sysfcemu, weakened by exposure and lack of proper clothing and food rapidly yield to the severity of the weather and they (all prostrate, with everv means of suapost vanished and their neighbors, being equally asdesti tute, are unable to assist them and they are thrown upon Uie charity of a cold r worlq. The people of Cliadron have gone to work in earnest in the matter of the beet sugar industry and steps are being taken to secure contracts for 5,000 acres of beets next season, The delegation from there to the oovaation at Lincoln last week returned, firm in the belief that northwest Nebraska was just the place for the growing of rich beets. That i just what The Jocbsal has been claim ing for more than two years. A sugar factory is wanted at Harrison but if one cannot be secured here our farmers should do the next best thing and help to get one as near here as possible. Beets were raised at Broken Bow last aeason and shipped to Orand Island at a profit to the growers and the distance between those point Is greater than between Har rison and Chad ran. An opportunity here presented for a united effort on the part of tbe farmess along tbe lines to Chadron, and it is to be hoped that Uiey will improve it. ''In union there strength" The action of the Sunday sobools the matter of presents on the publi Christmas tree is highly commendable. The practice of putting presents on public tree is objectionable for more than one reason. The American people are greatly inclined to make an effort to keep up appearances and as the time approaches for the putting of presents on tbe tree one learns that a certain person intends to place a gift thereon for wife, daughter or sweetheart which cost quite an amount of money and the am bition of the hearer is aroused and he de termines to keep even and the result tbe rivalry is that presents are purchased and put on the tree which are far more expensive than the circumstances of the donors warrant Then Uie friendship formed by shildren at school and on the playground are not guided by any rules recognised in social circles by adults and when a little girl seen her best friend re ceive a handsome present becauss Iter parents can afford it while herself is Uie recipient of nothing or at best a trifle given with as ranch love, but inferior be cause her parents are poor, the merry Christmas tide looses much of its bright seas and the little heart is sad because thereof, aad what is true of the little ones applies equally as well to the parent a Where Uie presents made by Uie Sunday school are all that are placed on Uie tree, partiality is shown and rich m treated alike it is a great aad no heartaches nr The plan, of establishing factories for Vle m'utacturing of sugur aud have a large refinery located at a convenient place appears to be gaining ground and is likely to be Uie plan adoptxl in the near future in Ue sugar industry in Ne braska. Under Uiat system factories would cost a great deal lee"a$ could be located at more places which would save hauling or. transporting the bulky Deeia. Tie cost o transpoiluig the ra.w uSr would oe a small iieni, coniruuveij , and the refining could be done mere heaply on a large scap than, is pqsaiWe where each factory simply retines its own, product. This, with a law in ac cord with the resolulion adonjed at the ate convention would greatly stimulate the cultivation of beets. A young man appeared a Uie Vander bilt residence in New York a few even ings since while a party was in progress and demanded the brains of the great U nancier far analysis in order to find why it was that Vanderbilt could accumulate a vast amount of wealth while the man making tlie request could not make living. He was promptly put in chnrgg of an officer and will likely find his way to an in-sane asylum. A good m.iny people who unbalanced, mental y, no doubt, would like to know what tbe djfTerepce 1$ in tlte brains of meq and theic ability to prosper and, accumulate wealth, but it would pore than an analysis of Uie brains of d(flvmnt men to settle the point t Elkhom Mo7yalley (NOftTHVVESTCftN LINO Cltr."'!riKTS: lotiarsa Bbus..

Miracles That we are Used to. Omalia World-Herald. In a recent interview J, H. Ames of Unooln gives a striking illustration of the incredibility of early residents with regard to the future of thaiv city. Twenty-three years ago Lincoln, for in stance, contained only 400 inhabitants, and it is safe to say Uiat not one of tbem thought Uie place desUned to become a large city. When Mr. Ames declared his opinion that Lincoln would bacome a city of 10,000 population within bis life time be was thought to be a "boomer." The "wise" and conservative citizens told him that 5,000 was all tlwt could be hoped for. And yet before Mr. Ames has passed middle age he llnd himself in a city of over 50,000 people. Western city building of this kind can not be judged by past standards. A new standard is being fixed. We are growing accustomed to these material roira cleg, but even yet we have not learned Uie force or sause of the great impulses which come upon western communities from time to time and inspire them to burst Uie ordi nary restraints of cities and develop those splendid energies of growth which brought Omaha up from 18,000 to lt, 000 population in twenty years, and Lincoln from 400 up to 54,000 in twenty three years. Who in Omaha dare predict the sic: of this city after Uie next great periodi cal impulse of growth shall have spent its form? If such a prophet wen to base his prediction on the western stand ard of recent city growth he would be contradicted no doubt by many "const auve" citlaens just as Mr. Ames was In Lisoolu twenty-three yean ago, although he may be just as short of Uie reality ss aw.
