Bryan is still feasting on free sil ver chicken served with anti-trust desert and washed down with Agui Daldo rum. England advised Canada to accept the proposition as made by the Unit ed States ‘to settle ibe Alaskan boundry dispute as the proposal was equitable, but Canada refused to lis ten. The sound of a Krug Jorgen sen might open her ears. The voting machine is coming in to quick and well deserved promi nence all over the country. Buffalo, N. Y , has decided to purchase 110 of them for city use. This has no reference to the genuine double back action democratic machine used in New York City. Major Comte Ferdinand Wuisin Ananias Beuedict Arnold Esterhazy, former chief clerk in the private parlors of his satanie majesty in France, has at lust made a statement to the effect that he, and not Dryfus, wrote the famous bordereau, the document that sent Dryfus to Devils Island and thereby cursed the integ rity of the French Republic. He says be did it at the dictation of his superiors and stands ready to prove his assertion. Door Zola, will be get bis 30,00(jf back that they lined him for telling the truth. Spain has ceded the Caroline Is lands to Germany, also all her other island possessions in the far east ex cept Fernando Po, which she still retaines as a reminder of what she once was but never will be again. She also retained several coaling stations in different parts of the group and it is said that Germany engages to defend those coaling sta tions for her. Old glory waves over the Island of Guum, in this group. Poor old Spain, tis sad to see, but it is the inexorable law, the survival of the Attest hence the tyrant whith er in individual or nation, must sooner or later get off the earth. One of the Twentieth Kansas boys sent borne a copy of an address is sued by Aguinaldo to bis followers just before Malolos was captured aud the most striking feature of it to an American is this. “Dear country men * * * there is in the United States a powerful party ot democrats of great iotluence who have sponta neously constituted themselves our defenders in Washington * * * for which we extend to them our friend ship aud mo9t profound expression of gratitudo." Such words of praise must make Bryan, Jones, Hoar and the balance of the half breeds in America, feel like hugging them selves. On the l^th of April lnog, Jeff erson, then President of tUe United States wrote !o our minister to France, as follows. "That there was one sj*ot on the face of the earth so important to the United Slates that whoever held it was for that reaaou naturally and forever our enc my, and that apot was New Orleans. Again he wrote, •The day that France, takes possession of New Orleans Axes the sentence which i to restrain her forever within lor low watc. mark It aeala the union of two nations which in conjunction can maintain •xi'biaiv* possession of the ocean From that moment we must marry ourselves to the British fleet aud nation.' And this is the mao and patriot «hus« livery Brian la Ur) ing to lAlich to masquerade in as an Aoti |iu|>eriali*t W J Brian star test out »« a brill isut )<»ui.g orator, i hcnpunitg the cause of the comiu >u p.pie with as bright a prospact as *tsr dot mortal man lie took up the cause of til vi r against the combined wisdom of the majorit\ of statesmen of the civ ilized nations of Hie earth, lie then made the mistake of going up against everything that is, if it was propo gated, formed or fostered by the re publican party it mattered uot whither it was good or bad. He seems to have no world but democ racy, no choice but to oppose every act of the administration and no de sire but to till the olfbe which sober second thought must convince one he is not large enough for. He is fol I >wing closely in the tracks of foimer democratic statesmen generally, and convincing the masses that he is ready to subordinate the best inter ests of the country that gave him birth if he cun Blear democracy into the white house. His “Imperialism” is a bug a-lx o to prejudice voters and will redound to his detriment us did the sedicious speacbes of h.s proteges during the civil war. The principle and manhood of an honest rebel during that struggle can be seen and appreciated in General Joe. Wheeler and Fitzhugh Lee. who are today honored and honorable citi zeus of this great Republic, both are upholding the administration and carving a name on the escutcheon of our country that will be pointed out with pride by both north aDd south after they are laid in an honored grave. Bryan’s name will go down in history as a political aggitator of great talent and little value. The difference between a southern rebel and a northern copperhead is wall illustrated. Mr. and Mrs. \V. F. Jenkins of the Aicadia Fruit Farm was in the city last Thursday. They remained over night and attended the com mencement exercises «if the Loup City High School in Hie evening. Their grand son Robert Mathew, was one of the graduating class, Mr. Jenkins called on us Friday morning and we ventured to ask to what extent his extensive fruit farm was damaged during the last severe winter. In answer to our question Mr. Jenkins made the fol lowing statement, which will com prise a part of his report to be sent to the Horticultural station at Wash ington; In speaking of apple trees he said that tbo Dutches, Wealthy and Whitney No. 20 are the most hardy ami came out perfectly. The Wine Hap, he said, stood belter than the Ben Davis. The Jennett came uui no perceui. i ms is ms exper ience in his large orchard where cul tivation ami exposure are all alike. In cherries the Karly Richmond, English Morrello and Osthine are the leading trees for hardiness. Of these varieties the Early Richmond stood the test of the hard winter 50 per cent better than the Knglish Morrello and some better than the Osthine. All fruit trees should be planted from six to eight inches deeper than the tree originally grew in the nursery so as to give an op portunity to renew small trees that die down by cutting back to the ground. If the tree is set well down the new shoots will come above the graft fir bud. Raspberries ure all killed down to the giound. drape vines of all vaiietics left upon trelises ure killed. I The only safe method with grapes is to prunu the grapes in die full, lay them down and cover withestth, but not with any kind of litter. The unusual hard winter of |-;*!i | has damaged cum ins and goosber ries about 5o per cent, I'ltium and strawberries well protected i nine through all right.
