From thirteen Blulc-i we have ex
1 t-j forfiTo { much of this
there was strong opposition.Vc lirs
extender ! to thu Missiissippi river , excepting
copting- Florida and a part of Louisiana.
The Spaniards interfered with our
national life and prosperity at the
mouth of the river and in the gulf , anc
we expanded over these to Texas and
the Rockmountains. . We paid mon
ey in both instances.
The acquisition was contrary to the
constitution. So said a host of states
men , among them Daniel \Vebster. A
constitution is worthless in so far as it
fails to meet a necessary emergency.
We have several times amended ours
and must do so again.
Slavery was the real objection , as
well as the real desire to acquire ; as it
was also in the cases of Texas and
Mexican territory. In the latter case
we also paid money.Ve then ex
panded from the Rockies to the Pacitic
through Oregon , or established the
extent of the Louisiana claim. We
wanted Maine to run to a fine point
north , and came near fighting England
for cutting off the point to the Saint
lames river. We wanted fortj'-niiie
legrees , fifty minutes , on the north
west , and barely escaped a war because
we were restricted to forty-nine de
grees. Skipping a stretch of coast , we
expanded through Alaska to Behring
Strait , again paying money. So ex
pansion is not new. In all this we are
richer , stronger , more independent.
No one , as it has turned out. cares to
object.
To this should be added , we have
long waited for Canada to think as we
do nnd ask for admission. We can say
ho same of Mexico. If we make our-
conditions of citizenship better than
theirs sometime they will. Some ven
turesome people include all this conti
nent.
The terrible inhumanity of Spain in
Cuba so harrowed our souls we sent
oed to the starving. Spain gave us an
/bject lesson , and got a free ride home.
. .f Cuba paciiies becomes stable
.latioiialize asks for admission why
not ? Porto Kico swung her hat for us
is soon as her arm was free , and is of
is , and no objection.
I now turn a new leaf and say , we
never want expansion against the will
> f a people or for the exclusive benefit
> f rich men. Justice at home and
ibroad. Samoa has been mismanaged.
They gave us a port and harbor. If
we had improved it for a coaling sta
tion , it was enough. It is the same in
ne Sandwich islands. The Philippines
hould have the same chance as Cuba.
! A t us have a plenty of soldiers , and
narines , and armaments for liberty
tnd defense ; but never for oppression
or conquest.Ve can have all neces-
ary money if it was raised equally and
justly from property and not from the
souls of the poor.
Here I might stop ; but perhaps you
svould indulge me in t\vo paragraphs.
First , 1 believe the nulloniuni is to
come on this earth , and befor3 main-
ears. I believe the United States , or
its successor , to oe thu stone cut onof
the mountain without hands , which is
to fill the whole earth. But it is to be
A nation , of righteousness. Has the
United States expanded in goodness as
.nuch as it- can ? Are we not capable
of exhibiting greater manifestitations
of purity and justice ? Is commercial
.jreed to overlap and smother the fine
sentiments of the human soul ? Is there
not , right now. a call upon the people
to forget party and self , and show such
an example of national brightness and
worth , that all nations will be glad to
join us ? Are we not called upon to go
up higher ?
All past life and history shows an
upward ascent of advancement ; and
would not the present be the grand op
portunity to get a nobler ambition than
commercial aggrandizement and melt
the ice of frigid selfishness into the
spring time of human kindness ?

On its editorial page the State Jour
nal is constantly shouting that pros
perity is being enjoyed by everybody ,
but on its first page Tuesday was a
dispatch from .New York which said :
"Of the destitute poor in this city , not
less than 15.000 families are either
starving or freezing. " What a sad
thing it is that our ministers of the
gospel should advocate the annexation
of the heathen millions in the western
ocean , when so much good remains to
be done at home !
After the bitter cold weather last
week , a chinook came down Sunday
and everj'thing" began to thaw. The
warmth on the surface of the earth
drove the frost still deeper and nu
merous water pipes froze , including i
the main on north Cherry street. A j .
tap was made at Symser's livery barn ,
and the residents thereabouts all use ,
the new hydrant. At present writing - i
ing the warm weather continues , and
people are getting the spring fever.
Gets a New TriaL
A year ago Edmond George was
tried in the district court of Cherry
county on the t.vo charges of stealing
cattle and receiving stolen cattle.
The jury had a long fight and finally
returned a verdict against the pris
oner , finding him guilty on the second
count'that of having received stolen
property. The verdict was a sur
prise , the evidence pointing clearly
to the prisoner's guilt on the other
count , or else showing him to be inno
cent. The judge sentenced him to
five years in the pen. Last week
he was returned here for a new trial
on the order of the supreme court.
We have not seen a copy of the
court's decision but understand that
it was based upon the fact that
eorge was either guilty on the first
count of the information or else was
innocent of both. This is a techni
cality we are sorry has been used , be
cause the penalty for either crime is
the same , and a new trial will cost
the county a considerable sum.
Meanwhile George is enjoying him
self in the county jail as best he can ,
and hoping for an acquittal at the
spring term of coin t.
County Finances.
Cherry countj-'s finances are im
proving every day. Treasurer Thack-
rey called in $3,000 worth of warrants
a few days ago , and is paying par for
all the warrants he can get for the
sinking fund. This fund now contains
ibout $5,000. and some of our bonds
could be called in but the treasurer
prefers to let the bonds run at six per
cent and invest the money in war
rants which draw seven per cent.
3y this method he figures on making
a per cent for the county. He ex
pects to be able to buy all warrants
he can get this year , pa3Ting face
ralue therefor. Ao all accounts are
noiv allovred at the first meeting of
the commissioners after the bills are
iled , this puts the county on almost
a cash basis , and every good citizen
rejoices thereat. When delinquent
taxes begin to roll in our people will
) av for their new court house and
hardly know how the } * did it.
Since the above was written the
treasurer has called in 02,900 Avorth
of warrants , making $ ,1,900 in a week.
The State Journal said a few days
ago that the war department had no
ntention of abandoning either Fort
Robinson or Fort Xiobrara. Instead ,
the garrisons at these posts will be
ncreased at the earliest possible mo
ment. If a post is established at j
Sneridan , Wj-oming , as is now con
templated. Fort Washakie will be
abandoned.
The horsemen of the Black Hills are
called to meet ior organization at
Sturgis on February 18. A good deal
of interest has been worked up and an
effective organization will no doubt be
effected.
