M'Lian was formally inaugurated as chancellor of the univer sity ot Nebraska on last Friday. This institution of learning ranks fourth of its jclask in tlie nation and the new chancel lor expressed the h;pe in the near uture to see it the first io rank of the jtute universities of the union. Capt. J. II. Culver, of Milford, was .elected commander of the Nebraska G. A. R. at Omaha last week. He has for years been one of the most active mem ",ien in tbe organization and tlie honor was worthily bestowed. The annual en anipraent was located at Lincoln for a jterru of lve years. The repuWicvi itate central commit tee ivet in Lincoln last Friday evening floi decided to call the state convention or the election of delegates to the na tional convention for Wednesday, April loth, at Omaha.

The Sioux Indians held a great ting feast and council last week near the p-jattle-ueld of Wounded Knee. There .was nothing of a hostile nature in the demonstration. The grievances of the fribe against the government were dis cussed and a delegation headed by Red .Cloud was selected to go to Washington f.o see the Great Father. About ifOO jvas raised to defray the expenses of the legation. In tho issue of the Pawnee Li'lcprntl nt fit Feb. 14th Chas. E. Verity announces that it wijl lie published no more, and pffers his printing nut tit for sale at a liscoajjt. When Verity realized that there was scarcely enough business here to support one paper and discontinued Jiis paper here, he sought out one of the riest towns, in one of thi best portions of the state. Jle found an element dissat isfied with the pa)ers already established .so he establislied a new paper and started n to "do up" the other fellows because they bid not please every body. For pearly two years he kept up the effort, and the people of Sioux county know that he is a tenacious fellow and gives tp only when every resource has become exhausted, but the complaining element jn a community is not the one lo rely on for support and Mr. Verity had to give Hp the fight. At the meeting of the state press asso ciation J. C. Secrest, business manager fy( the Lincoln Journal illustrated yery nicely why some people do not like a paper. Mr. Secrest was called to one pf the medical institutions and was in formed that a man had arrived that day frora a djstance for the purpose- of liav jog an operation performed and it was suggested that if the fact was published fa hjs pper it would be interesting to the public and would attract ptjiprs to Lin coln when in need of surgical work. Mr. ffecrest informed the surgeon that such poticescamn under tlie head of advertis ing and named a rate at which he would publish it. Tlie doctor did not want any notice which he had to pay for and the cller departed. The operation was per formed and the patient died, and tlie fact wan published in the Journal Tlie doo $or called on tft bu si peas manager of the paper and rounded hira up in great shape for publishing omething which would Jmw a topdency to keep patient from poraiag to bis institution for treatment, fbqa jt fa with all papers.

It will be impossible to nominate to candidates for auditor, nd there is jut as little probability of nominatiutf either of the- eKctllent gjnlleuien, cuimtur from ad joining counties if both remain in the field. The convention could doubt let I happy with either were t'other dear charmer away. Ksirney HA I - - - ! George A.

Our present system was framed to meet exactly the oj p site conditions which now present themselves. Its authors had in view a scarcity, not. a glut of gold. Could they have foreseen the future they would tiave lieen frightened. The gold basis currency scheme now in vogus among the chief commercial nations was devised and established in England in 1S16. The w hole world's production of gold for that decade, and for thirty years thereafter, averaged but 10 millions a year. For the year ly18 it was but ? millions. To-day the world's output is twenty-five times this, and liefore the century is closed it will proUibly be for ty times that when the current system was adopted. Iu the same period tlie world's population has increased but two and a half times, and though tlie expan sion of commerce an 1 trade has lieen much greater than this, it has limped lamely tteside the rising yellow stream. To set out the matter in anotlier way: When, after the long Napoleonic wars, England adopted her present currency syste-n, about 125 millions of gold, it is estimated, were required to enaile her to resume Hecie Kiyments. Save Por tugal. England was then the sole nation having a single gold standard, and the drain from other lands was so threat that, in the Uuiled States, at least, the yellow metal disappeared from circulation en tirely. To-sliy England's stock of gold is around 540 millions, ami that of tlie United States above 600 millions. Ger many with still anotlier 600 millions, Russia with between four and five hun dred millions, and France with its 800 millions, all exhibit the same phenome non of enormous piles of gold, amassed within this centurv. In all the world there i.s now near to four billions of gold money. And where gold coinage in the United Slates ranged from a (juarter of a niilli m to a million a year, from 1800 to it now ranges from 40 to 80 mil lions a year. From "That Flosl of Gold," hv Carl Snyder, in tlu February Review of Reviews, There isn't a family in Nebraska that can afford to do without a good general paper during this year 1H9G. The semi- Weekly State Journal, published at Iin- coln, is the paper that most thoroughly suits the needs of Nehraskans, because it is edited especially for Nehraskans, and in addition to all the stirring national and foreign events, it prints more state news than any other paper and gets it to renders from two to live days earlier than the old-fashioned weekly. The magnill cent Washington bureau of tlie Journal will be an especially important feature this great news-making year of 1H)6. The Journal's foreign service w ill come into great play during the war scans and Journal readers will get all the news.
