The war against yellow journals Is on
vigorously. The yellow reader should
receive his share of the blame. There
nro any number of readers who appar

to truth and accuracy. As long ns thr

appeal to this deformed appetite there
will probably bo yellow journals.

Secretary Gage says "the country is

Czolgosz has demount rated thnt he is
a craven coward at the lnKt. ; At Buffalo -
falo yesterday when threatened by a
treatment of the lawlessness his teach
ing upholds , his nerve gave way com
pletely and ho became the mo.st miserable -
able wretch in the world , fulling to the

that anarchism and its teachings are
thoroughly despicable and that nothing

Of thu 'Jo men who have been honored
by becoming presidents of the United
States is have Imd but ono given name.
This is a hint to ambitious parents who
seek to loud their offspring with n hand
ful of names of great men. The single
nnd common names have been the largo
winners and the youth loaded down
with popular and high sounding names
may , in the light of the past , about conclude -
cludo that his honors will end there if
names have anything to do with it. Of
the presidents' fathers , all but three had
but ono given name.
President Roosevelt hopes to follow
up the Into MeKinloy's policy of obliter
ating the line dividing the north from
the south for yenrs , by removing the
race problem with which southern
people have been contending. If he can
inaugurate n policy that will have this
effect hn will not only be entitled to the
gratitude of southern i > eoplo but the
people of the entire country. This is
ouo of thu greatest problems that lins
confronted the country MUCO the civil
war and it has seemed to grow more dif
ficult of solution each year. The good
lame and progressive character of the
ountry demand its adjustment.
President Roosevelt is giving evidence
of an opinion that white house clerks
should enrti their salaries , nnd has de
manded that they appear for duty lit S
o'clock in the morning instead of nt
0:30. : It has evidently been their cus
tom to put in live hours time for n day's
work and the president's order would
indicate that ho considers eight hours
short enough for n day's labor. The
president will undoubtedly set an ex
ample of putting in more time than
that If it is required of him. He has
never been known to shirk n duty nor
measure his work for his constituents
by hours or the drawing of his salary.
The campaign is certainly on in Holt
. " Letters" and "

dearing terms used thus far on ono side

opposition. Western papers should
generally leave this sort of campaigning
to the yellows of the east , where they
are not supposed to know better. The
time is past when Billingsgate can be
effectually employed in politics. One
side is as capable of mud slinging as an
other and when they descend to that
work there is no let up and it finally be
comes disgusting to the better class of
people. Gut it out.
T. P. O'Connor , the distinguished
Irish journalist and politician , paid one
of the handsomest tributes to the late
McKinley and the American people
recently when he said : "The career of
Wm. McKinley was typically American.
It is indeed Americanism at its best.
Even the murmured words of the church
hymn , which were among the last
words uttered by the dying lips even
that is typically American. Amid all
the riot , blare and deafening noise of a
country bursting with the abounding
vitality nnd defiant strength of its
gigantic youth , America is in its founda
tion a country of tranquil , sober , Uod
fearing homes. Every individual Amer
ican mourns in simple William McKiu-
ley the sweetness , Iwhplesomeness nnd
fnithful nft'ection'nna 'enduring fidelity
of the typical Ainerk-au citizen. "
A writer in the Boston Transcript
thinks ho has discovered the perfect
yellow journal in Newfoundland nnd
considers it probable thnt the American
yellows will ultimately approach or ex
ceed the highlyjelevating style of the
northern editors if they persistently
continue onjtho road they are following.
He considers the style as a faithful index
to the moral and literary tone of the
people ot the lilnnd. There such ele

Closer acquaintance of the people of
Lincoln on the nsylnm matter rnlstd
them cousldernbly in the estimation of
the ] iooplu of the north half of the state
and of Norfolk In particular. The first
Impression was that they were extremely
selfish bet events have since proven
that they are willing to bo fair nnd con
redo to other portions of the state cer
tain rights and privileges that they are
bound to respect. The people of Nor
folk and vicinity will probably under
take to be reciprocal \shen opportunity
oll'ors. And Omaha , also , is inclinet
to IK ) fair in this matter. Both cities
can ntl'ord to bo. While they are the
largo cities of the stnte they have been
built up in great part by the assistance
of the people of the state and a policy to
gobble every improvement in sight
might do them more injury than bone-
fit. Norfolk nnd north Nebraska
don't pretend to ask moro than justice ,
but they firmly believes that this is due.

Such n mm' is Dr. J. M. Buckley , editor
of the Now York Christian Advocnto ,
nnd ho has nn excnllont standing UK n
Methodist. The following paragraph
represents his terseness and it is to bo
hoped that others thin the minister
mentioned might benefit by the rebuke :
' It is nlfiruied thnt a minister in Man
chester , N. II. , stated in his sermon on
Sunday thnt in the attempted assassina
tion of President McKinley he snw the
hand of God , 'because the president had
nn opportunity to suppress the liquor
traflio in the Philippines , but failed to
do his duty. ' WM publish this not to
attack the minister , but to present an
impressive object lesson of how to n
fanatical mind one thing cnn fill the
whole horizon of thought. Probably
ho knows less about God and his plans
than any other man in the state of New
Hampshire ; not for want of ability ,
bat because of the terrific pressure of
one subject upon the limited part of
his brain used in reasoning. "
The burning of the hospital for the
insane at this place has aroused the
state board to the probable needs of
other state institutions of facilities for
combating fire and they are determined
hat there shall be nn adequate water
supply and menus for using it tit other
state buildings in the future. An ob
server of the destruction of the hospital
at this plnco suggested thnt in rebuild-
ug nn adequate lire protection should
bo first provided then the building con
structed. This would be n very sensible
plan of procedure. In this daywhen fire
protection cnn bo so thoroughly pro
vided it is a foolish economy not to fur
nish the needed system. The expenditure
of n few thousand dollars in this instance
would have saved property of many
times the cost. It is a matter of credit to
the last legislature that such nn improve
ment was undertaken by it , although
was not completed so as to be available
for the emergency. The average villap ;
and city nppenr to have been more awr&e
to the needs of adequate fire prote rion
than the state. The nvemgo pr/perty
owner is prompt to employ all available
means for fire protection and asn .axpayer
ho would undoubtedly favor aaoh n plan
on the port of the state. It is to be
hoped thnt no such loss of property as
here will be possible in the future owing
tothe lackof facilities for fighting firo.
A special correspondent of the New
YorkHernld gives an idea of the immense
task of newspaper men and telegraph
operators in supplying the world with
news of President McKinley's assassi
nation in the following : "Not less than
650,000 words were sent out of Buffalo
in ono day by the telegraph companies
in special dispatches to newspapers all
over the world. These 050,000 words
filled nearly live hundred columns. If
one newspaper had received all the
special reports sent out it would have
had about eighty solid pages of matter
concerning the president , exclusive of
illustrations and headlines. From all
available parts of the country additional
operators have been rushed to Buffalo.
About one hundred and seventy-five
operators have been at work constantly
for the last forty-eight hours and there
is no sign of diminution of the vol
ume of business. Nearly every news
paper of importance in the United States
nnd several of those published in foreign
countries , have staff reporters in Bntlalo ,
nil of whom have been for nearly
twenty-four hours n dny keenly seeking
every fact of interest in connection with
the president's assassination. It is n
conservative estimate to say that not
less than seventy-five
newspaper men
from other cities were in Buffalo work
ing on the story of the shooting of the
president. Many of the newspapers had
from two to halt n dozen staff reporters
on the ground. "
The paramount question : Have yon
mislaid those summer wages ?
The Globe-Democrat thinks "there
are but few persons who cure to pro
nrmnco Czolgosz's name , but everybody
would like to pronounce his sentence. "
The Minuefota-Nebraeka foot ball
game to bo played nt Minneapolis Satur
day will undoubtedly show the Sham
rock-Columbia race a few points on ex
oitemeut and enthusiasm.
Emma Goldman asserts that the
other women prisoners in the Chicago
jail assaulted her during her incarcera

the saying thnt there is honor among
thieves.
Owing to n Inck of wind the yacht
race yesterday was nnother fluke. Those
international events must bo nbiut as
tiresome ns some horse races where there
is lack of n desire to rnce and a grent de
sire to get the purse easy.
A woman 80 yenrs of nge who hns
lived in Baltimore all her life , Intely as
tonished n court of thnt city by saying
thnt hlii- had never heard of God , did
not know the nnturo of nu oath , hud
never been inn church or Sunday school ,
and knew nothing of the promise of im-
morality. This , with thestntementthnt
there nro grossly ignorant people in
Boston.gives western people nu opportu
nity to believe that they are not as
nearly heathens and snvtiges ns the
people of the enst. They should come
west and be enlightened.
The nunrchist who imagines thnt ho
can frighten American men from accept
ing the position of president or perform
ing any ottier duty his government re
quires of him has underestimated the
mettle and patriotism of the people.
Thu man who administers the affairs of
the government nnd holds the position
of commnuder-in-chief of the army and
unvy is just ns brave ns any soldier or
sailor in the service nnd will undertake
his duties as hurlessly. They will cer
tainly meet their fate with a greater de
gree of grace than did Czolgosz.
It is said that Kansas nnd Nebraska
'Oliticians ' have a plan formed for re
moving Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment of agriculture because of his
'eceut ' uncomplimentary utterances re
garding these states as corn-producers.
t is questionable if this is sufficient
'ause for his removal. If ho has been a
good secretary otherwise nnd of help to
, ho agricultural interests of the country'
geuernlly it would be folly to disperse
with his services because he erred in flis
udgnient regarding the producing
capacity of two of the best states AU the
nuion. He should certainly hrv > 'e been
better informed before he mndo , such n
statement , but because he : ; lde it coes
not change the facts and the effect will
: iot bo serious becnuso of its wide
divergence from the truth. Secretnry
Wilson's statement will be forgotten
but the record of production will live.
Dangerous Men.
"A man is never dnngerons , " says
Mr. Brynn in his Commoner , "so long
ns he has hope of relief from nu evil ,
whether fancied or real , but when de
spair tnk- the place of hope he becomes
a menace to society because he feels
thnt lie has nothing to lose. "
Well , who wns oppressing thnt first
anarchist , Cain ? Wasn't there room
enough in the world for Abel nnd him ?
Who were oppressing nnd driving to de
spair the scribes , Pharisees nnd hypo
crites that killed Christ1 Wns it de-
spnir or thirty pieces of silver that drove
Judas to play the nunrchist act of
treachery nud murder ?
Waa it despair that nerved the arm of
Burr when he murdered Hamilton , or
was it simply hate , the spirit of bitter
jealousy that could not abide a soul
even after the person thnt harbored it
had 'gained a signal political victory
over his victim ? Was Tarquin a don
gerous man to Lucrece because he has
lost hope of n lief from a fancied or real
evil ? Were the men who stoned
Stephen a menace to society because
they felt they had nothing to lo eJ ( Did
Calvin bnru Servstus because despair
hod taken the place of hope ?
A little further along in the same ar
ticle we read , "We can only bring abso
lute security to our public servants by
making the government so just and so
beneficent that every citizen will be
willing to give his life if need bo to pre
serve it to posterity. "
How about Benedict Arnold ? What
had the government done to him but
load him with honors that he should
aim n traitor's blow nt its heart ? llov ,
about those "Sons of Liberty" in Indi
ana , Illinios nnd Ohio ? They plottec
murder by the wholesale , the burning
of cities , the assassination of governors
the midnight loosing of thousands o
rebel prisoners to rob , to burn , to slaj
the property and persons of their neigh
bors and make widows , orphans niu
paupers of their wives nnd children
for what ? Hud the government in
jured these people by oppression am
discrimination ? Did the apprehendec
doom of slavery drive them to despair
In another place Mr. Bryan quote
with approval that descriptiou of the
urgid and sentimental Hugo of a mol
ns the human rnce in misery. " Some
times it is the human race possessed by
the causeless passions of the brnte. I
wasn't misery that was biting thn mob
tha slaughtered hundreds of blark men
women and children on the streets ol
New York during thi civil war.
It wasn't misery but the devilish
promptings of malice , hate and greed

o give up her loom because the male
workmen wnuted to prevent the employ-
nent of women in the silk mills as
weavers , until her niind waa unbalanced
m she had to be sent to a hospital
Further , Mr Bryan Bays , "Partiality
in government kindles discontent ; the
limitation of money above human rights ,
the fattening of the few nt the expense
of the muuy , thu making of artificial
distinctions between citizens nud the
lessening of the sacredness of human
life , all these in their full development
encourage the aunrchlbtlc spirit " Does
Mr. Brynn accuse our republic of these
crimes ? If not , what is the relevancy
of such nu imaginary indictment ?
Czolgosz the son of n poor immigrant
and Carnegie himself a poor immigrant
began life under equal nusplces. CV.ol-
geM ! hud parents to support and educate
him and C.iruegio had to go without
schools becnuse of bitter poverty. Botl
worked in the iron mills. Does Mr
Bryan pretend thnt the government
wns partial to the boy , Carnegie , itm
put the heavy foot of oppression on the
boy C/.olKO z ? What ineffable nonsense
then to excuse the crime of Czolgosz be
oauso Carnegie's better success in life
drove him to despair , mid to insinuate
that the government of the United State
is to blame for the difference in bran
qunlity between the two boys nud uales
it quits letting each work out for him
self in the problem of life , each to pnddl
his ow n canoe , it encourages anarchism.
