Nobody knows (Jomez, but everyono is pleased to sco him succeed Castro. That gurgling, purring sound is Mr. Harrlinan counting tho days to March Jlli. Having got thu Keystone of his Cab inet, tho rest ought to bo easy to President-elect Tuft- Why has not somebody risen to re mark that tho Tart Cabinot won't be able to resist Knox. K divorces keep on increasing, the nation's alimony bill will rival Its Pan ama Canal expenses. Tho Pungtowu DebatiugSocioty will discuss tho question "Is Christmas worth the money V Mr. Pultizor has gone to Panama to sco if ho is as much of a liar as he has been cracked up to-bo. Thoy are pulling down Castro stat ues and burning Castro protraits in Venezuela. This is a bad year for dictators. If Mr. Carnegie had talked in 1892 as bo does now, Mr. Cleveland would have been elected by a majority or about 5,000,000.

But to huvo nono is a tecord that Webster county can well be proud of. When 0110 consldeis the size and number of inhabitants of this county tho present condition is really remarkable. While we are on the subject Untight be well to state that the poor farm has always been mjU supporting and its in mates well provided for Our system of eating for tho unfortunate is far ahead of many that wo have seen The accomodations are ample, large house, pleasant rooms and agreeable surroundings. More than this tho county poor are not compelled to livo and associate with tho insane. In soma states the poor hoiisi is an asylum for feeble minded, insano and poor and all inmates aro compelled to associate at the table and reception rooms To a person of normal mind this association is most huinilating. Wo aro justly proud of our poor farm and should lliihiucial rovorses como we know that we have a homo and a good 0110 ready for us. Uutlhatis not all. Sherill' Hedge Is without 11 borader. Not an in mate in tho county jail. County in stitutions aro the most proiltablo when thoy huvo the least business. At the presont time our poor farm and jail aro both declaring largo dividends. Webster county is to be congratulated. mm s der chiefs (With apologies to "Hoch ! Per Kaiser 1") Dor Chiof of ds great I'V-odom'rt laud Und derS.

In viw of the uuoward condition ofallalisin Venezuela it is reported that ex-Dictator Castro will make his permanent home in licrmiiny. Tho question is whether the loss of Vene zuela in this case will be Germany's gain. Austria Hungary is said to be will ing to give Tin key 611 idemtilty of 'JO, 000,000 for lletzegovlna and lunula.

Thoy will como lu contaot with tho real wo. Id around The "BI4 Stick" vs "Pitchrork." Wo havo refrained front commenting upon tho receut "eruption" at tho National Capitol for somehow wo be hoved Congress would b nble to copo with tho situation without our assist ance The people of the west havo "pointed with ptide" to many acts of our presi dent in times past, and havo seen cause to laugh with glee when tho "bi stick" fell upon tho heads of somo of tho giant monopolies of eortain lines of commerce. Tls true the enormous Hue against the Standard Oil Co., is not collectable, and the expenso of ob taining judgment, and lighting to re tain its validity enormous, yet we have not blamed the President. Hut tho president has shown that lie is human aftor all. His attitude is that of the average "town bully " After licking so iniitiv big follows ho begins to think thero is nothing under tho sun too big for him to attack. Tho "bully'' always llmls sooner or lator, that 1.0 ono Is so big that there is not somowliero a bigger. He ovontually meets his "Waterloo." Whether the President has met his "Waterloo" remains to bo seen, but it looks to us like ho assumed a llttlo too much in attempting to Impugn the motives of the greatest body of la v makers on earth. Tho very foundation upon which tho stability of this gov eminent rosts is thu fact that It is a "Clovornini nt of the people, for tho people, and by the people." Not one man can formulate a set of laws; not one man can appoint a sot of men to make laws, but THE PEOPLE elect men to tho high olllee of law makers, and must trust to them to make thu laws In accordance with their best jiidgment-and then thoy are not PER FECT. It is tho Presidents business to ox cento those laws, to crltlelzo them when proven defectivo, to recommend changes for their bettorment, eto. We mean wo THINK that isiis business -wo may bo mistaken. Congress seems to take this view of tho matter and wo can but agrco that the qiestlon of "Motive" Is not a lit subject for the President to discuss in a public document to that body. "To err Is human; to forgive, Divilio." Tito President has shown that ho is human. So has Tillman. It is to be rcgretod that because a senator is human and uudertukes to profit In a small degree becauso of Information lit his possession, that Is "disingen uous" in trying to cover up liisprlvato business tramu(Uious,--that the Prcii dent of tho United States should uso tho entire Secret Service force at his command nt tho expenso of tho govern ment, to uucover and make public the private business of sail senator, for no 1 apparent reason except spite, and be-1 cause he could. Granted that Tillman did try to se cure nine quarters of land, privately, while in his olllclal capacity ho was endeavoring to make it possible for thousands of others as well as hiinsolf to secure like quarters. There has been nothing to show that his personal gain prompted his seua'orial action. Who of us are so 'divine" that wo would not do likewise? Tillman's ease proves this: that a man will sometimes resort to deception to cover up private business transact ions for personal gain, even though bo bo a U. S. Senator. It does not prove him a villian. Wo place the Divine ideal too high to believe thoro is either a President or Senator of the United States who is not liable to err. It is tho business of Congress to make laws. Of the Presi dent to execute them. Of tho peoplo to turn them out and elect others when things are not satisfactory. It is everybody's business to WATCH, but wo do not believe it is the duty of tho President to use the SCcroc Service placed in his hands for the good of the Government, for personal spito, any more than it is the duty of a Senator to use his olllclal knowledge of condi tions toward tho acquirement of a few sections of cheap land.
