It has be n the predominant politicd organization for the greater part of its existence. That more could have been accomplished without the republican party era a similar organizll : on , or with a milk-sop , variable following , than with its strong partizanship , se > ettls highly improbable. 'l'he ItlIllcnium i still somc distance in the future. Until its arrival partizanship will probably exist -and prop rly. There are many people who insist young America is suffering from over-education and there are some who advocate a law that will exclude childrea from the schools until they are ten years of age. That \vould be _ nice if it could be arranged to have all of the children born and raised in thl' country districts where the } ' cf.lL1ld run wild and thrive , and grow-where vice stalketh not abroad-till a decade after their birth. The effects of young boys and girls educating tbemselv.es in crime in the cities by unrestricted freedom from school duties till that age would I be another song. Almost every section of the United States is complaimng of unusual cold for this time of year. From Maine to the southern - ern border of Texas there is a yelp for more heat. Crop work has been delaved , fruits are known to have' suffered greatly r and spring is tardy everywhere. The conditions in Nebra51m are no worse than elsewhere and in some instances not nearlv . as bad. Some of the scientists .will undoubtedly - doubtedly explain the extreml : cold and probably blame it onto sun-spots or the discovery of a flock of comets-either of which is as good a reason as any other that might be conceived by men more intell ent than they. ' , Several cities are waging war again t the promiscuous sale of revolvers , since the recent tragedies - dies in New York when the police "rounded up" people by the hundreds and those found to have pistols were arrested , disarmed , find and their pistols confiscated. In the future the sale of fire arms will be under police sur- veilhnse in that city and should be in every city. At present any man with the price can purchase a gun and a few cartidges and create all tbe havoc he wishes. . The pistol carrying practice is one of the worst and most inexcusable - cusable of the bad habits of Americans. According to the Supreme court of the United States criticisms of courts cannot he made until the cases on which it J is desired to comment are disposed of-then it is not contempt , but during the hearing of an action any remarks that might have a tendency to intimidate the judge or prevent justice are' regarded as contempt. The decision is a hair-space affair , and indirectly decides the right of free speech , regardless of the constitution , which has not been repealed. Justice Harlan dissented from the majority decision upon the . ground of being unwarranted by the constitution. . . . . . - - - - . . The Wisconsin amateur who discovered the newest comet did so from the roe of his back door poarch. If he had been out here on the broad and fertile prairies , in Nebraska he would probably . . bave discovered a whole covey of comets and therebr much greater would have been his renown. , , . , . , . iop. . .

'l'he "Moffat Head , " build from Dcnvcr to Salt T4ake Citv . , has just issued the finest adver.tising literature ever produced by a rail- wav company. It consist of a ha 1dsomely illustrated folder depicting mountingscenery along their world famous one day sccnic trip , and It set of 10 souv.enir postal cards printed in four colors showing additional scenic gems along the railway. 'rhc foider is mailed free upon application. and a set of 10 postal cards lupon rcceipt of 10 cents in stamps , to defray ex- penscs , by tbe 'rraffic department of the "Moffat Road , " Denver , Colorado. 1'h is li tera ture is of great interest to those who contemplate - template a trip to Colorado this summer , and to those who cannot enjoy a personal trip it IS a most realistic substitute. Everyone is Busy. The recent flurry in Wal1 Street caused the alarmists to say that busines depression was at hand , yet outside of Wall Street business was never so good. Manufactures , wholesalers and retailers all tell the same stor , } ' of the difficulty to procure goods enough to suppy the demand. Chairman E. H. Gary of the United States Steel Corporation says : "From the standpoint of the iron and s.teel industry business - ness conditions are good. For the month of March orders received by our company were about 8,000 tons a da r in excess of March , 1906 , notwithstauding we have on the books unfilled orders which will fully employ on the average our full capacity for about nine months. As to the future one can Po uess as well as another. " This is but a part of the national song Everyone is busy , practically every industry is crowded with orders. Grant d that the Dingley law should be revised , it must b admitted that it takes extraordinary courage to , undertake the task in view of' ' these conditions. Few Congressmen - smen would dare face the peopl if a revision should result in business depression. More Laurel. for Teddy. President Roosevelt has gained more laurcls as the "Great Peace- maker. " Only a short time ago he received the $40,000 Nobel prize , the award being made to him for his services in bringing together Kussia and Japan and in ending a war that cost 'hundreds of thousands of lives. ' 'l'his week he was given credit for having assisted materially in bringing about the treaty of peace between Nicaragua and .salvadur. l'he following cablegram - gram , addressed to the President of the United States , was received from President Zelaya of Nicaragua - caragua , in which the latter says : "Peace signed day before yesterday , AMAPAI.A. I thank your Excellency for your great work toward aChieving that great result. " The thanlts are none the less sincere even if Pre.ident Zelaya knows full well that had peace negotiations not been begun , both Nicaragua and Salvador stood an excellent chance of being spanked by Hleir U nc1e Sam. Good Bye , Buffalo. Uncle Sa\n will soon be without - out a sin le specimen of the buffalo that once roamed the plains of his west\rn domain. The call of the wild s unded this week for seven bisons that for three ears have been quartered in the Natioual Zoological Park , through the courtesy of Col. Cody , "Buffalo Bill. " 'fhe animals were needed for the wild west show of their owner and have departed on a professional tour. The remaining five bnffalos of the heard of twelve which Col. Cudy loaned to the Zoo , also will soon he recalled. 1'his will depopulate the Zoo , 01 the buffalo , which each , rear H becoming morc and more difficuH to obtain , and it is feared seer : will be extinct. There are nay ; only a few hundred of the animals left in the United States , and most of these are in public and private reservations. , , . . . . . Demand for Qualified Young Men. In view of the gcncrld imprcs.- : : ion that the professions are great- i ly ovcrcrowded , it is surprising I to learn that some of the ll'ading railroads of thl' country arc f lul-1 ing much ctifiicult.r in ( 'curiIU .1 properl ) ' qualiJied young men fo : fill subordinate positions on the el1g'ineeringstaff. .

It was further stated that the rc. muneration would be sumcient t , " ) enable thesc men to maintain thcmselves at once in deccncj' and comfort , and that for t.hosc who showed aptitude. and application - plication there was a reasonable expcctation of early promotion. Further evidence of the excellcnt opcning- afforded by the prescnt industrial act \.oity is found ill tllC fact tbat , in enc of the Icnding techical colleges of the , countn , c\'cry IItClI1ber of the gracluatin ! ! class of llOC ) had securcd an up' pointmcnt SOUIC months bcfore the c10Sl of the college year. 'l'hc demand for technicdl- qualified tncn in rnilroad work has unquestiouably been stimulated - lated by the recognition of the fact that the increase in the capacity and weight of the motive power and rolling stock , and the demand for more intelligent supervision due to the introduction - tion of electric traction on steam roads , is r.ndering it desirable that not only the engineering department - partment , but also those which have to do with the maintenance and operation of the road should be run by men with sufficient technical knowle ge , with sufficient - ent training in natural science , to enable them to exercise ; a morc intelligent oversight of their departments - partments than is possible in the case of men whose theoretical knowledge is boun ed by the limits of a common schO l edu- cation.-Scientific American. Properous Under Present Tariff Law. 'l'ariff tinkering is dangerou to prosperity. So , despite whatever - ever injustice there may be to certain Industries in the present tariff law , there IS a very natural disposition not to interfere with the tariff while the country as a whole is dOIng so well. There will never be a tariff law that will give to every industry and to every sectiun of our wonderfully divcrsified country everything that is desired. If a new tariff law were framed tomorrow it might correct the present causes of complaint , but in all probability - ity there would soon be as much to complain of in the new law. 'l'hp.re would be much doubt and uncertainty as to how the new law would work , and it would take time for the country to adjust itself to the law. 'fhere- fore , even the tariff revisionists , those that most tirmly believe in the need of overhauling the Dingler schedules , would rather talk than precipHate action. "On the Wabash , Far Away. " A unique auction sale was held this week in the General Land Ofi ce when an island I ) 1-7 acres in extent was offered to the highest - est bidder. The island is situated - ated in the Wabash river , one mile from Newport , Vermillion Co. , Ind. It was bought by Harry D. Nixon , of Newport , for $160.05 and will be converted into a summer resort , if Mr. Nixon's plans materialize , and . 'the banks of the Wabash" will ring with thc more or less harmonious music of the steam piano , while the strains of the organ in the merry-go-round will float over the waters of the historic stream. Better Than Ever. That is the verdict of every person who has witnessed a performance - formance of Campbell Brothers great consolidated shows. Always - ways good , but this year with many added new features , the performance is in' every way thc equal of any show upon the road , and in keeping with the policy of these well known circus managers ever since the first organization of this famous enterprise. Starting in a small way over fifteen years ago they have steadly advanced until at the present tim it is second to none. Cleanly conducted , with no faldrs or grafters , Campbell Brothers consolidated shows has made fricnds from its infancy and each I year sees the list swelled until r today the name is a synonim for all that is good and honest in I the amusement world.
