Official Paper Sherman County The West Virginia legislatnro set, an example that could be creditably copied by the law makers of Nebr. They elected a United States Senator on the first joint ballot. The United States has acquired the title to lifty fine churches and thirty convents in Porto Rico, by the acquisition of that island. As the church property belonged to the state it therefore reverts to the United States government, and now the question is, what will we do with it. The ‘-patent” of our contemporary last week si'es the fact that, with all the boasted prosperity in our land, that diverse Ranks in Boston, hud to relinquish their chnrters and merge themselves into one so as to exist, but it took particular pains not to divulge the fact that money had be come so plentiful, and interest bo low that it become unprofitable for any number of Banks to do business and consequently they bad to con solidate. Father Clark, D.D. of the Unity Society of Christian Endeavor says, that expansion is not to be calcu lated from the idea of a greater na tion commercially or otherwise, but from the basis only, of bettering the condition of the people who become sul-jects < f the United States. But if not settl' d “as God would have it, it will be a sorry day for Ameri ca." But ne Rev, Gentleman failed to state just how the divine ruler wanted it settled hence the ad ministration is left in doubt as to what course to persue. From the downcast, careworn look of some pop suckers that still de pend up tn the frittering adhesion of their gums in ihe public teat for a living, things can't be just what they seemed a few y ears ago when populism was first hatched and run rampant over our prairies. Like the itch it had to run its course, but common sense and a return of calm delihera'i> n is beginning to set things aright, and though men still cling to the faith in name at least, they are seeing through lenzes of a different hue and Ceaser is at last receiving “that which is Cesser's to a certain extent at least, and with a good prospect of full justice in the neat future. The legislative branch of Sherman county's “bouse of Lords" is to-day composed of men whocbose to exercise their judgement with “malice toward none and with chari ty for all." There is always a calm after a storm, and overbearing, seif isb, arbitrary, bulldozing never fails to reap as it haa sown. Tbe New Legislative apportion ment bill introduced in tbe bouse and senate last week eu*s some quear figures, and makes some strange bed fellows. Sberman county is snatched from Buffalo, as senatorial district and placed with Howard and Hall, aud a« a representative district was annihilated entirely and made a Host with Buffalo Tbia does uot seem Just right, and with proper en gineering migut be avoided. In m8 with tbe bard work and executive ability that Senator \V H.

Win fntung it. Edward Atkinson estimates that the administration of the Philip pines will cost this government $ 178, 000,000 per annum, and Swanson of Virginia, says $200,000,000, while some other scare heads say it will not run over $165,000,000. The question pregnant of facts and past figures would seem to lie that these fellows have all reached the limits of their immagiuution and then drew upon their stock of political bombast to arrive at such conclusions. Will it cost us more than it did Spain, with her profligate rule of those Islands? No one will admit for a moment that it will cost the U. S. ns much with an honest manipula tion of affairs, yet had it cost Spain, one fourth the amount those calami ty breeders say it will cost us she would have been financially ruined many years ago. The revenuea un der Spanish rule were $L3.000,000 annualy, her expenditures we are not familiar with, but will tie rash enough to believe that the revenue’s will cover the outlay and have a margin left inside of three years. Those wild estimates are only made to in fluence the people, and predjudice them against expansit n for tire pur pose of poisoning their minds against the administration. But it should be remembered that the natural resour ces of those islands are most won dertui, and capable of almost limit less development. The tapaeiouB market for our manufactures would soon make the Philippines of incal culable value to the United States. The people, in their present elate are not nomadic, their world is encom passed by the bounds of their island home, and ansiniij&tion on account of annexation will not follow only as the Americana go to them, and in a few generations of Yankee intluence and admixture they will not be ob jectionable neighbors A great couutry like the United States with a restless population will never ret rograde, but no sooner baa she cross ed a “Rubicon" than nbc is looking for another. The onward march of the western branch of the Anglo Saxon race is as irresistible as the Divine will, and pessimistic oppo nents might better stand aside. The destiny of man in bis infancy, is no more obscured than is that of the United States, but its mighty tendency to go forward leaves little to be immagined. The hauling down of the stars and stripes at Honolulu, in ’03 but delayed their permanency a little while, and in less than six >ears from that time oar National emblem baa leaped another 4000 miles and ia waveing over land we call ours. And who dares to pull it down? The man who does will dig bis politieal grave a* deep and as permanent as did tbe wage of “Gray Gables." The Anglo Saxon now clasps hands around the world, Uncle Sam at Manila, and John Bull at Hong Kong, and the next decade may witness as great changes as has the last. Who can tell? 1 he first page of the calamity mill just north of the racket store, would make a first clast official organ for a rogues gallery. Teeming with stench and vituperation, falshood and calamity wee* after week. A men who can look upon the bright aide of this world and smile in earn est, it would seem would hate him self to death to own it. But there is still a few left who are never hap py unless they are miserable, and their Bank account depends upon how successful they can be in draw ing a veil of team over the smiling face of the angel of mirth. ■‘Laugh and the world laughs with you. weep and you weep alone.” You may keep a wry face ou people as long as you can persuade them to swallow your cathartics but after a while they will discover that it is the cathartic that is nauseating them and then you will “Weep alone.” HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT.
