For more than n yo.ir wo linvu
not said a word to our dulit.iicnt |
Hubporibcra through llm columns
of the Kiii'UiiMCAN. Wn have
hoped that it would not bo mci'H-
aary again. But wo lind by con
sulting our Htibfloriptkn book that
tburo are liundrcds of ilolhtrH duo
UH , that we have oarnid ntid would
lil'o very mucii to have to aid UH in
lueuliug our obligation by January
1 , Homo of tlioeo acuountH wo havu
carried for Hevar.tl years , whilu a
larger number are for ono two and
three years. You no doubt had
a Merry Christmas and so have we.
Now we arojerdy to guarranteo you
a happy new year , if you will caller
or remit the Hinall or largo amount
you owe the KBPUIILIOA.N. And
while it is inoro pleasure to give
than it ia to receive , wo can ay-
flure you that wo will enjoy an
iqual share of the pleasure with
you as we in turn give it out to our
creditors , as fast as you give it to
u . Won't you all try for once and
got your balance on the credit Hide
of our ledger , with ths beginning
of 1002.
Maolays history will now bo as
dead as Sohloy's presidential boom.
Both can bo buried in ono grave.
\t \ \ i Governor Savage was presented
with a largo turkey for Christmas
by an admiring friend , of Sterling
Colorado. The governor thinks it
is larger than President Roosevelt's
Thanksgiving turkey.
Liout Maolay , whoso history has
got ua into so mnoh trouble ever
the Sohley affair immagined ho
Blood at the head of hia olass , hut
now siuoo the president has ordered
him to the foot ho will have tinio
to meditate and see just whore ho
is at.
at.The
The Sohley investigation is liable
to result in the removal of several
high in authority in military and
naval circles. President Roosevelt
will not tolerate a yiolatiou of mili
tary law by any , regardless of their
official rank. Secretary Root's let
ter ot censure to Gen. Miles , would
indicate that the war department
will not have any foolishness.
It is now up to the governor of
Minnesota to show that the Great
Northern deal is against the public
interest. J. J , Ilill , president of
the Great Northern Railroad , in an
interview , argues that his great
deal in railroad stocks was to prevent -
vent the U. P. oflioiiils from getting
a corner on the entire west and
northwest systems. Ho iilairus that
had the U. P. succeeded , it would
have had a monopoly on the rail
road business , and his company , in
getting a controlling interest in the
Great Northern and Burlington , the
echorno has failed and the internals
of the community is protected , and
that lower rates instead of higher
will result. Mr. Hill Insists that
by his combination of interests ho
has prevented monopoly , und that
better wages for the employees aa
well as lower rates than are now
enjoyed shall bo the aim of the
Great Northern and of all the roads
la the combine.
WHO SHOULD KEFOHMI
There is ono class of people if wo
could reach their ears that wo
would insist on instituting a reform
with the beginning of A. D. 1902.
It is that olass who uoyer have
been able to see the bright side of
life or of anything. They arc cer
tainly a misery to themselves as
well aa to their unfortunate amoui-
ate.
There may be BOUIO exousj for
Biuh a condition at timert but there
I'H no laudablu reason why one should
always ho thus aflliotcd.
With many it IB a habit that they
have gotten into unconsciously.
Wo would suggest to change the
habit at onoo. lust ad of possing
as an objootor , tun right about
nnd conoced there may Homo good
come of a schema you did not sug
gest and help other * with their plan.
(2 lit your grumbling and moot your
aHHociatcH with a cheerful greeting.
Have a wrrd of nhuer for every ono
you m.'ut and should a mean , cro6S ,
retaliating thought suggest it-
Ht'lf.banifh it fn in you. Do not
allow yourHolf tn fool that wory-
body ulso arc rogues and flatfish.
It gnoves us to f > eo that wilful ,
piteful spirit mmiifcstqd in chil-
dien 12 to 10 yearn of ago. Whore
do tboy got it ? Do their parent )
quarrel and band ) words with
thorn , until thny fool that they
must do it as a matter of Keif pro
tection. Shame !
ChildiLMi will mutate their par
ents. If thcv are scolded and
ami quarreled with at homo how
can they bo expected to do otherwise
whnn in company.
There arc men as well as women
who always acorn to see the dark
side of every picture. They do
not stop at Booing it themselves but
presist in showing it to others. To
thodo wo would urge to look ou the
bright side of life lor ono year.
You will bo surprised to find how
much happier your life will be.
Can wo not all in prove on this line ?
STUKFEK'S CHECKS
Why were the bonds paid for by
Treasurer Stuofor's checks ? Such
rt the question asked by the York
Republican , referring to the pur-
ihasc of the Burt county bonds.
Whan bonds are purchased by any
bond broker ho has from ton days
to two weeks in which to tind a
purchaser. Few brokers ever buy
bonds and pay for thorn with ready
cash cash of their own. They put
up simply a forfeit , guaranteeing to
take the bonds. They then look
about for the best purchaser and
lot go of the bonds and the man or
concern that gets the bonds , really
goes ahead and pays for them.
Such was the case with the Burt
county bonds. Ono , Noloigh ,
bought the bonds at a premium of
$800 and backed up his bid with a
certified choak of his own for
$1000. In getting rid of thorn ho
offered them to outsiders and
among these outsiders Mas the
Board of Educational Lands and
funds. The board considered the
jonds a good investment and or
dered State Treasurer Stuofor to
take them at 3 $ per cent or bottor.
He got them at $550 bottor. The
State Treasurer did what any other
man would have done. Ho paid
for the bondt. and drew the checks
to Noloigh , who had the option on
the bonds , but before those chocks
wore delivered to Noloigh ho had
thorn properly ondorpod to Burt
county , thus fixing it so that none
but Burt county could get the cash.
Had there boon any questionable
transaction in the matter , or any
thing to keep from the publio eye ,
does anyone suppose that the state
treasurer would hayo carried on the
transaction with ohejks ? No , in
deed. The truth in that Mr. Stuo-
rha6 never attempted to cover up
any part of his bond deals and ho
is willing that any man shall ex
amine every part of the transac
tions. When ho offered to take the
bonds ot 3 $ per cent , and the coun
ty commissioners proceeded to tloat
them at 3 } , ho was loft out , for , as
the bids proved , the bonds wont at
a snug premium. Burt county
really had a bid from the board of
educational lands and funds , at 3 $
per cent interest. It is stiil up
to Burt county to explain why she
did not float her bonds at 3 } per
cent or better and it would seem
that State Treasurer Stufor has explained
plained about all that ho should.
His semi-annual report together
with a former atatmont made to
the publio tells a splendid story
and should call for words of com *
mondation from republicans and
others interested in the well fare of
the state treasury , Blair Pilot.
Mil. IHIVANH MAMPKSTO.
Chicago Chronicle ( ilum ) : Wil
liam JonningH Bryan has con furred
a favor upon his follow countrymen
in the democratic party and out of
of it. Ho ha ? given out a manifes
to which is in substance the plat
form on which he will seek the
next presidential nomination at the
hands of the national democracy.
Mr. Bryan flays that imperialism
and the indepcndenco of the Philip
pines are still burning political
questions and that it is only by
pushing them to the front that the
democrats can hope tor success in
1002.
By inference , therefore , Mr.
Bryan han recovered partially or
permanently from his unsound
money delusion. The currency of
the country is apparently to remain
tiiithreatrned by Mr. Br. Bryan dur
ing the next presidential canvass.
For this promised relief from an
oxpootcd recurrence of financial
lunacy on Mr. Bryan's part tbo
entire country ought to bo thank *
ful.
Elimination of the unsound
money issue from national politics
will leave intelligent men of all
free to diHouss in tranquility and
roaRon the real national issues be *
fore the American pooplo. Mr.
Bryan will not find any consider
able number of his follow oitizons
ready to acroo to his proposal that
thoAmenoan flag bo unconditionally
withdrawn from the Philippine is
lands. Ho says "tho war is un
necessary because the people of
these islands are ready to lay down
their artnn whenever their independ
onoo is promised thorn. " Mr.
Hi van has no bettor moans of know *
me ; this than any other American
citizen.
Americana must differ ever the
iquity or necessity of the oontinn.
id presence of our arms on Phillip-
> ino torrrilory after the surrender
) f Manila. But human Americans
junnot abandon the Philippine people
plo who prolor our constitution to
inarohy 01 invasion and conquest
by a European power
Mr. Bryan says that the people of
the Philippines "cannot be oitizans
without endangering our civiliza
tion. They cannot bo subjects
without imperiling our form of
government.
Tbo literary hpbitof his mind has
never boon characteristic of prati-
cal statesmanship. Mr. Bryan's
instructive inclination to prelfcinoss
of expression is a fundamental
weakness in his ability to poliltios
As a matter cf fact there is no
reason why the people of the Phil
ippine islands should not booomo in
time American oitinH. . We have
made citizens out of red aborigines
and out of dofoondants of African
tribesmun. The ruling miss of the
Philippine ppoplo are as far more
assimilable stock. They are morn
peaceful. indiiBtrioiiH , acri tornod
to obey and to command. They
have responded rondilv to our over
ture ? of frieudthip when accom
panied with cnviujng : proofs of
nhuiero purpot-o to tutublinh among
thorn firm free , h : > uent and just re
publican g * > v > rnment.
The work , it is true , is only bo
gun. To desert it now would bo
cowardice. The ultimate solu
tion of the political status o
Philippines cannot bo predicted
now. But thin can bo assorted now
that the flag of the United State
must remain in the Philippines to
protect the people from anarchy o
invasion and that tha constitution
and laws of the United States mua
be put into operation in th
islands as rapidly as possible.
Mr. Bryan will tind that no con
siderable proportion of the uationa
democratic party will support him
or any o1 her presidential candidat
on a platform proposing desertion
of the people of the Philippine is
lands to anarchy , dictatorship o
invasion for conquest or rooonqueat
