BY "NKMO." (Copjrwrlguted by Dawc A Tabor.) r Tho dotuon that bus been steadily R nd relentlessly forcing Spain to win tin national plunge, is preparing to close tho compact, wherein Spain as a nation four centuries ago chose wealth rather than wisdom, and pride rather than progress. Kven leaving out of consi U oration for a moment the present con flict in Cuba, the evidences of certain national doom cau easily be read. it To render the thought moro ilotlnile I will mako throo groups of weakness any one of which will ho fatal to a na tion in tho long run. Colonial (Jkkkd If wo look back at tho conquests of a fow centuries ago when trequont tidings of now conti nents and boundless woalth fired tho souls of adventurous men, tho skirts of no nation will ho found ontiroly froo from innocont blond. But gentler times have brought gontlor methods, and tho valuo of having populous col onies instead o'f ravaged mllos to rule over is found to bo ultimately of tho greatest advantago to tho homo coun try. This is only another ovidenco that tho world progresses. Hut while the scales of inhumanity have fallen from tho eyes of England, and other nations that attempt to vio with her in colonizing policies, Spain is us blind ami cruel ns Pinrro in rem, anil Cor to, in Mexico. With an absolute lust for wealth tho new territories wetc then regarded as fair prey to bo merci lessly .stripped of everything valuable and portable. The spirit of the men who carved her vast empire out of a new world has nniained unchanged through the centuries. Whatever eol onial positions were open have been filled by Spanish nobility; in many cases without regard to fitness of tho pernio or the advantage of the colony. Indirect gain from the development of a colony has never been regarded with such favor as tho direct results to bo attained by squeezing out taxes and farming out lucrative ofllces. In a pro gressiva age, this is simply a mad spirit ot solf-dostruction. Tho inevitable has been tho loss ono by one, of tho very jewel of hot' diadem of empore, until uow ut of a territory onco unequalled either in natural wealth for In extent, there remains tho very minor posses sions of Porto llico, Cuba and the Philippine Islands. poptllil 1 HI el llllli. hlltllll Ids nf MmIiS anils. I lie Mtleiit IViini.ius u-til, bj vast irrigation works, tiitide this sandy desert blossom like tho rose. In wine eases they had constructed aqueducts liuiiilieds of miles long, and even pici ceil mountains in older that this region might bo watered. The desert is once moro triumphant. The con queiors seeking and esteeming those things only that could be gained ly tho stvonl, neglected the real essentials of pnispei Itj , and to this day the evil re sults are felt. Mexico was a similar victim. The .strange cieatures whom Montezuma i tiled were exceedingly progressive. Hut their works and plans and agi ietiltural gains wete scat tered to tho winds by the bloodthirsty conquerors, anil to this day the spirit lens Peon seems sunken beyond all hope of revival. Thus everywhere, at home, abroad, Spain lias prepaid! the waj ' fin her own undoing Tim: Gi(ami:i:3iikii'. For centuries nfii the destruction of the KoiuiuiEm pne bj lhe(ii)lhs unit Vandals, the In man intelligence was pi ai'tically be numbed. A pall of darkness was over all; the nobles were almost as unlearn e d as their serfs and the .serfs weru ut terly hopeless. Aspirations lay like a giant chilled by the cold. Hut since that time stimulation of thought has caused tlie great heart of the world to throb with increasing power until tho feeling of a common humauity thrills in some degree even those Jtnost sepa rated by birth and wealth. Hut against the tendency of tho people to think and act, hope and accomplish, tho proud und stubborn spirit of tho Span ish Grandcclsm has stood out reso lutely. Tho rising tido of human as piration cannot bo withstood. If a government, oven though hoar with ago or crusted with heroic deeds, try to turn a deaf oar to tho cry of tho poor for life nnd liberty, for education and for hope, tho cry will not dio out but its pleading tono will be turned in to tho iiorco and fateful growl of a cor nered beast. Thus has it boon with Spain. Far moro organized than Ni hilism in Russia, is Anarchism in Spain. Tho nation is honeycombed with law less sontimonts. Tho men in power are under tho hopeless necessity of guarding against tho homo population as if it were an invading army. No other government in Europe, not oven Russia, is in so serious n condition. Spain stands revealed before tho world as not having controlled tho growth of hope and thought, hut as having with stood It. Tho incvitablo'.dis.uter draws nearer each day, and is not delayed by the fact that Spanish statesmen wel come foreign complications as'oiTorlng a favorablo diversion of tho direction in which tho combativo spirit seeks to expend itself.

About tho beginnlug of tho 10th con tury Spain, possessed of a lellgious fury adroitly mingled with greed, ox- polled tho Jews and Moors and conlls eated their property. It thus inflicted as severe a national injury to itsolf as Franco did later when it drove out tho Huguenots for it stripped Itself of its best farmers andineelianics. In 1009, I believe, It gavo agriculture a further fatal blow by expelling .the Christian ized Moors. As a consequence the very basis of national prosperity is re markably undivuloped In Spain. The crudest implements are still in use, and tho regions that tho Moors had rendered productive, fell back to wil duine.ss. Similar .short-sightedness characterized her abroad. When Pi zarro lauded In Peru, tho strip of land fifty mid moro milts wide, stretching from tho ocean front to the foot-hills of tho Andes, supported a prosperous Much moro might bo written, but why multiply woids? Spain is being hurried to her doom by tho blinding forces within her. Her brutality in peace and in war mako hor unworthy of kinship with tho sisterhood of pro gressiva peoples, Sho is a survival of bloody times that havo from many na tions long ago passed away. It will indeed bo a strong historic parallel, if the Anglo-Saxon race that first curbed hor career in the western world, should also be the one to finally expel her.

Burglar Who Broke Jail With Jack Rid dle Captured Again. Clyd Daily alias.Wm. Scott who with Jack Kiddle escaped from the jail here on the morning of August l.'itli last is again here safely behind I ho bars and SlierilV Wells knowing from past events the nature of the man with i hum he has to deal will take precautions tn see that hi' docs mil esoape again. After his escape a description of himself am! pal was sent out by ,1. W. Huuclie, tlienshorill, toolllcers of this and other slates and, has also been in the N'ebras ka Police .Journal and it is probably these efforts which led to his capture. The following from the Lincoln Eve ning Call of last Monday tells of tho arrest but tJio strange part of it Is that a man upon whoso head thero was a re ward and whoso description the jail authorities must have read of again and again should lay In jail for about a mouth without being recognized. "Iho polico made a clover capture yesterday when Clyd Dajloy, alias Wil Ham Scott, was arrested. Tho ariest was brought about in a rather peculiar way. About a month ngo Scott was nabbedjas a suspicious character. Tho hank of Rising had been robbed and Scott and a counlo of other follows were approhonded hero under tho im pression that they might know some thing of the robbery. They could not bo connected with tho crimo, however, and wore sent up for vagrancy nud on general principles. Scott was just reloased from his term lu tho couuty jail yesterday wheu ho was recognized as being wanted in Webster county, and so ho was again arrested aud landed In the city jail. After his identification to this extent ho was also remttmborcd ns ono of tho men with whom Jack Nash had a warm experience about a year ngo when lie was city detective. Nash nnd Olllcer Kinney wore down under the viaduct searching for suspicious characters, when they ran upon Scott and a pal. Tho lattor raced up tho Burlington yards with Kinnoy in pursuit, whllo Nash look after Scott, who sprinted in an opposite direction. Nash and his man exchanged several shots and Scott finally crawled between somo moving box cars and made his escape. Nothing was heard from Scott until he was captured hero, und tho polico did not recognizo him until yesterday. It is said th"t Marshal Wray of Havolock was tho officer who identified Scott nt tho county jail. As far ns tho local of ficers know, nothing has beon found in tho way of u traeo cf Scott's pal." Sheriff Wells was notilicd of tho nr- rest and went to Lincoln Monday, ro turning.with Scott Tuesday evening.
