The government is making quite
a showing of naval force at Rio,and
it is expected to exert quite a salu
tary influence in the Brazilian war.
The Beaver City Tribune-Ox
ford Standard-Cambridge Kalei
doscope episode has reached the
affidavit stage. And may the Lord
have mercy on their wicked souls.
The Cambridge Record, succes
sor to “The Only Way,” has gone
into winter quarters. It may ap
pear semi-occasionally as a “relig
ious monthly.” For what we are
about to receive may we be truly
thankful.
The Nebraska state press asso
ciation will meet in Lincoln from
January 24 to 26, inclusive. An
unusually fine programme has
been arranged for this meeting,
which will doubtless be one of the
most interesting and valuable ones
to the craft held in years. There
should be a full attendance.
The university of Nebraska will
celebrate the 25th anniversary of
the granting of its charter on Feb
ruary 15th, and the day following.
The programme will extensive and
interesting, in keeping with the
high standard of the institution.
A general invitation has been is
sued to the state press. Nebraskans
are proud of their university. It
will be a notable occasion.
Pilot Rosewater is still a n
object of much solicitude with
sundry republican newspapers and
leaders. There is some doubt in
the minds of many republicans as
to which Jonah could be thrown
overboard with most profit, the
Pilot or the Gang. There is no
doubt, however, but that this com
bination has placed the grand old
party in the minority in Nebraska.
A general house-cleaning would
be about the proper caper.
During the debate in the sen
ate, Senator Yoorhees, the spokes
man for the administration in the
struggle for the repeal o f t h e
Sherman law, said: “If we repeal
the bill we will gladden the hearts
of thousands of laboring men now
out of employment. ‘Repeal the
bill and in ten days time the skies
will brighten and business will re
sume its ordinary course.’" We
arise respectfully to ask, why have
not all these things happened ? We
would also like to enquire whether
seeing that the prophesied mille
nium did not arrive on schedule
time, it is likely to come along in
the near future. If not, why not?
His the crew been drunk and
ditched the train which was t o
bring us prosperity in such large
bunches ?
Sam Small, who is now regu
larly introduced to audiences as
the Eev. Sam Small, and who has
become a preacher of decidedly
originality and force, is not yet
prepared to abandon the profession
which he occupied inoneor another
of its departments so many years
of his life, and so has purchased a
newspaper plant. He will, to use
a time-honored phrase, “embark
in journalism” in Oklahoma City,
where he has been preaching for
sometime. Mr. Small, with his
character as a preacher, combines
a good deal of the newspaper man,
and probably in his labors as a
journalist will introduce some of
the characteristics of the preacher.
The result will be awaited with
interest._

The front pews in the Lansing
theatre have been generously ten
dered to members of the Btate
press association for Wednesday
night, the 24th inst., and it goes
without saying that the boys will
be on hand for an evening of
solid enjoyment before getting
down to business.—Journal.
The past year witnessed but lit
tle railroad construction in Ne
braska for the reason that there
was no urgent necessity for addi
tional extensions. But eight coun
ties in the state are without rail
way facilities, and these counties
will be supplied as soon as their
population is large enough to in
duce railway' construction in their
direction.
Senator Lindsay has been re
elected byr the Kentucky legisla
ture on the first ballots without
any frills or feathers. The legis
lature simply met, the democratic
members cast their ballots for
Lindsay, while other candidates
got no more than a meaningless
complimentary' vote. In Iowa the
senatorial contest has been going
on for weeks before the legisla
ture was to convene and the cam
paign has been organized for a
fight to the finish. Kentucky had
one candidate and harmony. Iowa
has a multitude of candidates and
a whole circus as a prelude to the
finale.—Bee.
Ex-President Harrison wisely
extinguishes his incipient boom
for a renomination in ’96 by with
drawing his name from the list of
presidential candidates. The sor
rows that besieged him during the
closing months of his administra
tion have created a distaste for a
return to the White house and
he refuses to have his merits dis
cussed in that connection. In any
case it is not a good thing to have
a presidential boom so far ahead
of the national convention as three
years. So many things are bound
to happen in that time that noth
ing is gained and much may be
lost by premature log rolling.

The reclamation of the swamps
of Southern Florida has been go
ing on for over ten years, and a
tract of about 2,000,000 acres has
at last been made suitable for cul
tivation. One-fourth of this area
is found wonderfully adapted to
sugar growing—so much so that
Florida promises, if encouraged
by the national government, to re
claim 4,006,000 acres of the rich
est land in the world and, with the
assistance of the best sugar states
of the northwest, make the United
States independent of foreign
countries in securing her sugar
supply for all time to come. The
cost of reclaiming 4,000,000 acres
of land is placed at $20,000,000.

The “moral suasion” movement
which it is announced the prohi
bition people of Kansas have
entered upon is the oldest of all
temperance movements. It is the
effort to induce the drinker to stop
drinking and it is difficult to see
how any really genuine temper
ance movement can make any
headway without this effort. Two
pledges, it is announced, will be
circulated, one for life, one for the
century—the remaining years of
the Nineteenth century. Gentle
men who have not absolute con
fidence in their nerve would prob
ably better take the “Century”
pledge; swear off till the year 1,
9,00 and then renew’ the obliga
tion for the hundred years ensu
ing. Either of the pledges, if
universally taken and kept, would
speedily settle the prohibition
question.

Charles YanPelt’s team ran

broke the post to which they were
tied, and ran about one half mile
when they broke loose from the
carriage, turned directly around
and ran back. Passing the place
where they were tied, they ran
several miles and returned, un
hurt, dragging the post with them.
An admirable feature of the in
augural address of Governor Mc
Kinlev of Ohio is its entire inno
cence of any appeal to partisan
prejudice. Coming from so radi
cal a republican as McKinley, this
is somewhat of a grateful surprise.
But it shows that he fully appre
ciated the proprieties of the occa
sion and that he is capable of sin
cere and unselfish patriotism. Such
an innovation is particularly wel
come at this time when there is
sore need of elevating the stand
ard gubernatorial sense and de
corum. j
