THE blessings of freedom anc
civilization are by no means un
mixed : One Milwaukee firm hasal
ready shipped 07 car-loads of bet
tied beer to Manila.
FEW cities of McCook's size can
claim a more philanthropic people
McCook has already given to th <
Cuban sufferers and for Eed Cross
purposes over $325. We are prouc
of the record.
THAT the state officers of Ne-
brraska should be much better
paid must be quite evident to all.
The idea of paying but $2,500 to
the governor , state treasurer and
supreme judges is preposterously
ridiculous. There have been ob
ject lessons enough to teach the
average Nebraskau that the pres ri :
ent plan is more than penny wise
and pound foolish , It is iuexcus-
and idiotic.
A
COLONEL BIXBY has great diffi
culty to restrain himself when he
;
thinks of how much fun Colonel
Kosewater will have with Colonel
Hitchcock. Bix can nlreacty see
the smoke of battle and hear the
bursting of shells. Colonel Rosewater -
water will work his dynamite gun
with most desperate energy and ?
effect , and with the aid and con
sent of Dave Mercer , "won't do a
sc
thing" to Colonel Hitchcock. Nacln ,
is
niente , nichts , rien , nothing. isM
COLONEL MITCHELL makes bold M
to claim that THE TKIBUNE took mi
him too seriously when we imag
ined that he was trying to work
SI !
the church racket in favor of Samuel
of
uel Randolph Smith. The colonel
ro
didn't mean anything of the sort.
A thousand times no. Even ten
thousand times no , and never. ki
That was only the colonel's clever we
style and way of closing the per of E
iod. The colonel will deny , next
week , that Samuel Randolph carries
en
ries any cards up his sleeves at all ,
as
or that he ever dreamed of assert
ing that he did. In fine , as usual ,
the colonel is only amusingly fun
ny , and not at all serious. H
THE "yellow" journals are lux
uriating in largely imaginary
"hells" of army camps and the
like. War is not picnicing , and
those who went into the service
with that idea have had a rude
awakening. Those who imagined
that the dangers of that southern
clime could be met with impunity
were also mistaken. Most of this
rot about corruption and ignorance
and mismanagement is nonsense
and political buucomb. Most of
the pain and apparent neglect and
illness is unavoidable. But the
"yellow" journalistic fakirs must AF tror
lave something sensational.

"Washington , D. C. , August 30 , 1898.
Mr. R. Q. Stewart , Chairman Congres
sional Committee : Hearty greetings to
the Republicans of the Fifth Nebraska
district. Let us send to Washington a
oyal supporter of President McKinley ,
whose administration and statesmanship
lave won the admiration of the civilized
world. I will be with you under the
stars and stripes at Manila and Santiago.
Signed , W. E. ANDREWS. " j
The committee on resolutions made j
he following report , which was unani
mously adopted by the convention : *
RESOLUTIONS.
A
FIRST We , the Republicans of the Fifth
ongressional district of Nebraska , in conven-
ion assembled , heartily commend the magnif-
cent record of President McKinley in peace
md in war , and endorse the wise measurses
if the Republican members in congress that
lelivered the country from financial distress ;
hat recalled the era of prosperity ; that estabB
ished the credit of the nation ; that restored h
onfidence to the business world ; that set our fr
iiachinery'to work ; that enabled our farmers
D sell their products more readily and at
jgher prices , and that relieved all our peo-
ile from the disastrous effects of Fusion blun-
ers and incompetency. u
SECOND We point with pride to the wise _
Dreign policy of the present administration'
its prudence in avoiding complications with _
Dreign powers ; in looking after the best inter- ll
sts of the Cubans in our conflict with Spain ; O
lie intelligent management of the army and li
aval foices that brought victory to the Amer-
an aims at Manila and Santiago and termia
ated the war ; the energy with which it has Q )
rosecuted the just war against Spain and the
nal conditions of peace which will forever
ree from tyranny the Spanish West Indies ,
nd has given this nation the control of the ai
larribean sea and the ultimate uniting of the er
ivo great oceans , by the building of the Nica- cc
agua canal , thereby enabling us to maintain 62
powerful navy at a minimum cost. tl
tlm
THIRD We are unalterably opposed to re- m
loving the American flag from any land up- re
n which it has been planted by the intrepid fti
iravery of our army and navy. ftiF
FOURTH Important problems are arising F
ut of the war with Spain , not only as to cap- h
ured territory , but the great commercial ad- :
antages to accrue to this country. We find
urselves already in possession of unlimited w
rade in South America , for which we have wW
een equally contending with
foreign powers ej
years. So great are our advantages that "I
re can already hail it as the "Greater Ameri-
, " and we feel safe in placing the settlement
all these questions in the hands of our pa- . .
iotic and wise president and a Republican
angress. r
FIFTH We renew our allegiance to the
rinciples of the Republican party that cared -
ed us to victory in eighteen hundred and H [
inety six , and secured this country from fi- ac
ancial and industrial disasters , and we dedi- in
ite ourselves to the task of carrying out or
lose pledges for sound money and protection

of the American farm and home industries.
SIXTH We renew our allegiance to the
patriotic brave men who upheld the honor of
our flag by their valorous deeds from ' 61 to ' 65
and saved us , a country reunited ; and in their
declining years let us remember them and
their dependent ones and strew their path
way with the choicest blessings and tenderest
care of a grateful people.
SEVENTH We heartily commend the patri
otism and bravery of our volunteer and regu
lar army and navy , who left all that men hold
dear on earth and answeied the call of Presi
dent McKinley in the Spanish-American war.
And we hereby express to our brave boys our
regret that they have been refused the right of
suffrage while battling for humanity and their
country's flag. And we pledge ourselves to re
member them , not only in their trials , but
their dependent ones as well.
EIGHTH We denounce as political trick
ery , the acts of those members of congress
from Nebraska , who , while posing as the
friends of the soldiers of the Jate Civil war , at
the same time opposed by their vote in con
gress the measures intended to raise the reve
nue with which to pay the pensions of the
veterans ; and who , as soon as they learn that
the Republican administration , an administra
tion that is now and always has been friendly
to old soldiers , has granted any particular pen
sion , fraudulently use their telegraph frank ,
received by them at the hands of corporations ,
to make such believe that his pension was' '
procured through their instrumentality.
