The imperialist editors are not writ
ing any glowing editorals about our
trade with our "new possessions" since
the official statistics have been printed.
Their tnoughts seem to be Teaming in
entirely different fields. . Not one of
them since they read the figures has
ever remarked that "trade follows the
Hag. " Nebraska Independent.
The , recentfy published list of Boer
casualties put out by tne British war
office shows that during 1901 out of an
active army of 15,000 Boers more than
18,000 ware killed , wounded or captur
ed Lord Kitchner , however , still
hopesthat the remaining Boers , con
sisting of Christian Dewet and 8 to
10,000 others , may accept British rule
by the ; dawn of 1903.
If any man thinks of heroically serv
ing his country m this age of the < vorld
with the hope that his heroism will be
rewarded with the appreciation of his
'government and people , he would do
well to reconsider the matter. ' Gener
al Gomez was hissed by the Cuban peo
ple the other day , and both Dewey and
Scliley aie disgraced "by the govern
ment which they so bravely served.
Nebraska Independent.
At last we are to have a telephone
system in Yaleutine which will Tje
shortly connected with the sand hills
andranches south .throughout the
county : In last issue we published an
ordinance passed by the town board
granting a franchise to some of our
citizens for 20 years to opeiate a tele
phone systeui in "Valentine which must
be begun inside of six months and be.
completed within a year. We are
informed that work will begin as soon
as the frost is out of'the ground.
Connections will be made
with the south country and
the very thing that has been agitating
the minds of * > ur people for the past
three years will be settled we hope to
the satisfaction of those who have been
interested in a telephone system.
There was some complaint made in
regard to the town board granting , a
franchise to a few of our citizens , and
some are kicking because they didn't
get in the deal. There is stock for sale
and anyone wanting an interest in .the
Company can yet own as much as they
have money to pay for. If any one
wants another such layout it is to be
had in extending a line throughout the
. ' .junty. Get your franchise while the
county commissioners are in session
before some OHO gets ' ahead of you.
There are too many plums , to grumble
over one tliats gone. Organize and
get to work. Don't wait for'some one
else to act first and then kick because
you are not in.

dosn't some one publish a statement
and show that Bartiey is entitled to be
received into open arms and reclaimed
aa. a hero , Instead of going into ecstasy
over the pardon of the greatest thief
the state has known , he , should wear
ear marks and a brand on his hand
that he might not be an inspiration to
some other person. Gov. Savage was
probably given no pence , by those who
feared Hartley would show the white
feather , until he signed Bartley's pard
on. .
This will probably have very little
effect on Republican state politics.
They may turn Savage down for effect
though many are inwardly rejoicing no
doubt that he is free. Savage will be
cated for and so will Joe Bartley.
They like men who do their bidding
and while they may openly condemn
Bartley and Savage , they'll vote'er ?

Narrow Escape
We clip the following from the
Atchinson Graphic : Earnest W. Julian
of the Western .Newspaper Union had
a narrow escap'e from death * in Kansas
( Jity Christmas eve , and is now con
gratulating himself that he still lives to
tell the tale. It happened at the fam
ous "Junction , " the intersection of
f Ninth , Mam and Deleware streets ,
where three car lines cross each other
in a bewildering maze of Angles. A
London fog enveloped the town : the
pavements were slippery and distances
cltceptive. Mr. Julian , in starting to
cross Ninth street , slipped , and before
he couU regain his balance one of
Walt Holmes' spasmodic cable cars was
upon him. The fender rolled him in
the slime of the street , bumped his
head on the cobblestones between the
rails , and swamped his body around so
tbat when the car came to a stand-still
his neck was within eiglit inches of the
front wheel. He was .unconcious for a
a few minutes , and when he rallied ,
under the vigorous treatment of the
train crew , it was to find himself
bruised in a hundred places. lie will
not sue the company.
"I came across a town down there
called Kansas City"said Mr. Julian
.this morning , while dilating on his ex
pedition to a party of newspaper men ,
"I was susprised to find su.ch a city in
tbat out of the way region. It is really
a very good little town so m uch so as
to prove the exception to the rule that
culture and refinement seldom pene
trate to the provinces. It has water
works , several miles of streets that are
paved and gas lighted , a good $2 a day
house and the funniest street cars you
ever saw. They are a good deal like
our Omaha cars , only they have no trol
leys to be pulled aloug by. I can't see
what the deuce makes them run. -
"Christmas eve I was at a place call
ed 'the junction , ' where two of the car
lines intersect each other diagonally ,
and I got out among the tracks to look
down through the.cracks . that are in
the middle , to see if = it Avere the cracks
that made the cars run , 1 got down
on my hands and knees to make a clos-
or inspection , when all at once one of
the dog-gasted cars came along from
behind and K'isted me clear up in the
air , I fell on mj facii within three inch
es of the track , and came near being
ground into mincemeat. They stop
ped the car and picked me up and 1
was a sight. My face was all scratched
and bloody , and my overcoat was , torn
and my'.trousers were gaping at the
knees , W'keu they foundj I wasn't
badly hurt they took up. a collection of
$1.65 to renew my wearing apparel and
sent me on my wav. But I don't know
yet what pulls those cars.
Gone "Republican"
The republican party is in the habit
of declaring that we have "the best
banking system in the world. " The
populists have , all admitted that it was
"the best banking system in the worlcl
tor thebanker" and about the worst
W
Bver devised for the depositors. Hard
ly a week passes but there is abundant
Bvidence to the populitst's contention.
rhe populists believe that there should
be postal savings banks where the
peop.le could deposit their money with
the goyerament itself , and. in that way
the money of the depositors would be
is safe as the republic.
Just a few days ago the bank at Gojthen :
Durg in Dawson county went republi- .
; au , hung out a card , 'saying that the-
sank was suspended and in control of

that ever , occurre d in the state. This
scoundrel who accused Bryan of dis
honesty is still living in luxury and
wealth , he is burning hard coal , eating
roast turkey and drinking champagne
and leading the choir at services.
It is said that the poor depositors
who stood out in the recent c ld blast
shivering at the bank doors don't ap
preciate either his Christianity or his
financiering. Farmers , merchants and
laboring man and washerwoman clam
ored at the doors for their money , but
not a penny was in sight. The bank
building , the safe and some worthless
notes signed by political heelers are
all that-are left to tell the tale. The
banker is the gainer and the poor de
positors must be satisfied with republi
can confidence. A lot of these deposit
ors were republicans who voted in fav
or of the republican theory that all we
need is confidence ; that we don't need
money at all. These fellows are gett
ing an object lesson and it is to be re-
sjretterf that any man who voted sensi
bly has to suffer with tkem. And the
fellows who voted for confidence in
stead of money and whooped it up for
Mark Hanna may have brains enough
io change their views while they shiver
iround and Mr. LJanker lives on-the fat
) f the land. If the depositors get ten
jents on the dollar they willbe i lucky
md the banker will spend the remamd-
$ r of the winter down in Florida where
t is warm and next summer he will
ive in Macinac in the heated spell.

lot under the collar and swear. You
lave been voting fur this system for 9.

hroat out and give onemore whoop ,
