Repomii Newspop IOP
TUB Nebraska Press Association's ex-
eculive coniinitU-e hart a meeting in
Omaha , first of the week , for the pur
pose of arranging for headquarters dur
ing the Omaha Exposition , and such
provision will he tnntle in sonic accept *
able manner.v
TUB Cuban situation has reached the
ultimatum singe , and the beginning of
the end uiuy be expected on the coming
Monday , until which time Congress has
agreed to take no action. The situation
has an ominous appearance and war is
among * the immediate probabilities.
A WRITER bemoans the alleged fact
that American girls arc misunderstood
abroad , in England 'and on the conti
nent. Bless the Lord for that ! If those
monoclcd dudes understood the American -
" can girl we all love , she could never
iiiiore slide down our cellar door or "hol
ier" down our rain barrel.
THE amusement Section of the Trans-
Mississippi Exposition will embrace
many show features of a strictly first-
class order and of a diversified kind.
One of the latest concessions in the line
of amusements is a vaudeville theater
-and grand cafe , to be operated by Henry
Willurd , concessionaire , late of the Al-
linmbra at the Nashvihe Exposition.
The building will be 150 feet long by 150
feet wide , with ample space allotted to
theatrical purposes and a cafe. Mr. Wil-
lard intends to present the best class of
vaudeville , artists and performers that
money can procure. The principal cen
ters of amusement in America and Eu
rope will be visited by Mr. Willard's
agents in search of high-class novelties
suited to please the patrons of first-class
vaudeville.
PRESIDENT McKiuutY's thoughtful
and conscientious course in determining
the final action of the Administration
upon the Cuban question is being gen
erally commended by citizens and news
papers , irrespective of party. No presi
dent since Lincoln has had such a grave
problem 'to.solve , including as it does
not only the difficulties , dangers and as
sured loss of lives of American soldiers
andcitizens , , if war shall be undertaken ,
but with these the danger of the intro
duction of yellow fever from Cuba during-
the summer months by reason of the
constant intercommunication that would
be absolutely necessary if war should be
entered upon and American troops sent
to that island. Don't bother the pilot ,
and the good ship of state will come
through the storm in safety and honor ,
and Cuba will be free from Spanish mis
rule and cruelt } ' .
THB contrast between labor conditions
in Europe and in the United States un
der its protective tariff is poiiUed out in
a recent report from Switzerland by Con
sul-General Dubois , who shows the average
I
age wages of carpenters and joiners in
Europe to be So cents a day against $2 37
in the United States , and says that as a
result those of Europe are compelled to
live cheaply , their chief food being bread
and potatoes , seldom using meat , living
in tenement houses and in every way
less comfortably supplied than those of
the United States. Locomotive firemen
in Europe , he says , consider themselves
well paid if their earnings amount to $22
per mouth , while the ordinary locomo
tive firemen in the United States earn
usually $60 per month. The journey
man tailor in Central Europe gets only
$5 for 65 hours' work , while his fellow-
workman in the United Slates gets $12
for 60 hours work. For all foods pur
chased in Europe , laborers there must
pay as much and frequently more than
American workmen pay for the same
kind and quality in this country.
SECRETARY WILSON believes the mar
ket abroad for American corn can be
greatly widened. He says it is suTprising
how little Europeans know about this
great staple , and how the } ' insist on con
sidering it suitable only for stock feed.
They know nothiug/about the dozen and
one toothsdme dishes which can be pre
pared from it by an American cook , and
so loiig as they are left alone they will
never learn. Secretary Wilson hopes to
educate them. He has requested Con
gress to allow him a sufficient appropria
tion to make an extensive exhibit of corn
and its products at the great Paris Expo
sition , where all Europe will assemble ,
and to there demonstrate" in a thorough
ly'practical way , even down to the bak
ing of uiufiins , the value of American
corn as an article of table diet. Mr.
Wilson says that a mistake has been
made in the past in attempting to induce
the poorest classes , who live on only one
article of diet , to substitute corn meal
for wheat or rye flour. They are unable
to have more than one staple article on
their tables , and corn of itself does not
possess enough muscle-making constitu
ents to displace flour. He looks for its
introductior ralher among a class able to
afford more than this single diet , who
will appreciate' its sweetness andVhole-
someness and its low cost. -

supplement an unique and interesting
array of drawings and cartoons selected
from the files of that paper for the past

the doctrine of protection as an active ,
living political issue , and also demon
strate with what vigor and aggressiveness
this doctrine has been expounded by the
American Protective Tariff League.
