Congressmantelmllouborger expresses
to bollovo tliixt the tioxt congress will bo
democratic. Thin in the long Rtilt of the
fnsloulfitB they ivlwnys BOO victory Just
ahond uutil ft few wockn nftor the returns -
turns nro nil in. They will htwo to bo
shown 6omo nioro.
According to the program of the sou *
ate a vote will bo tnkon on the nhlp BUD-
sidy bill Monday. It is hoped that
something to favor JAmorlcnn shipping
will bo done by this congress nnd if the
present bill nuawers the requirements
friends of American industry will hope
that it may pass nnd become n law.
The republican state central committee -
too will Boon moot to call the Htato con-
Toutiou , which , it is expected , will beheld
held in Jniio or the early part of July.
The party will probably favor an
early date so that it may got that Snv-
ngo matter oil its mind. The party is
.not worrying about the result of the
convention , but would just as soon have
1 it over with.
lloprosoutativcs of the "allied parties"
which recently hold a convention in
Missouri will bo in Omaha today to urge
their plan in Nebraska. A state that
lias boon so closely identified with fusion
should flud a place for any old allied or
fusion movement and the Missouri dis
ciples will undoubtedly bo welcomed as
guides qualified to load the reform
forces out of the fusion tangle of defeat
and despair.
Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas , along
with other plutocrats , has boon trying
for ix Beat at King Edward's coronation
but disdains to wear the court dross pro
scribed for the occasion. Ho should bow
\ \ to the mandate and put himself in be
coming attire , otherwise it is probable
that the coronation cannot proceed. An
important porsoungo like Ex-Governor
JHogg is as CEBontlnl to the king's coronation
nation * as in Governor Savage to Ne
braska.
The isthmian canal is apparently fur
ther from being realized than over.
3Wouds of the desired improvement
should bo on the alert or it is probable
that the present session of congress will
pass with no appropriation and no pro
vision for beginning the work. It is con
ceded that the completion of an isth-
jiiiiui canal would mean a great deal to
the commercial expansion of the country
and the earlier it is completed the sooner
will American interests enjoy its bone-
Jlta. The work should not bo delayed
Jouger than is absolutely necessary.
It is estimated that the loss of prop
erty occasioned by the recent floods in
the east will bo almost $8,000,000 in
Pennsylvania and Now Jersey nlono ,
divided as follows : Northern Peunsyl-
vanta , $4,000,000 ; western Pennsylvania ,
f2GOO,000 ; western Sehuylkill valley ,
$300,000 ; Philadelphia and vicinity ,
$500,000 ; New Jersey , $ -100,000. No-
brasknus have the satisfaction of know
ing that this is a disaster by which they
arc seldom threatened and it is doubt
ful if any of them would bo willing to
exchange their conditions , with occa
sioual years of drouth , for the threat
cned flood disasters of the east.
Governor Savage , Bartley and their
friends ore very reserved recentlywhich
is undoubtedly their best course. Every
time they have opened their months
lately it has been like a spark igniting a
train of power which has burne <
throughout the state , much to their dls
comfort and annoyance. "While they
are quiet it is not to be supposed for a
moment that they are doing' nothing
and friends of good republicanism in
Nebraska should not rest inactive uuti
they again show their hand and especially
ally when the caucuses and primaries
are on should their opponents be in ovi
deuce and have their influence felt.
Prince Ilwury should have acquirec
some of the staying qualities of Mr
Bryan , who would not have thought o
tiring with the little jaunt the prince has
taken in this country. Whatever maybe
said of Mr. Bryan , it cannot bo suid tha
ho has disappointed many crowds , ant
since his visit to Milwaukee the priuc
has disappointed several of them , espe
clally in Massachusetts. At Worchester
Springfield and other points where larg
crowds had gathered and more or leg
elaborate preparations had been mad
to greet the representative of Germany

Lieutenant Governor Tilman , o
South Carolina , in a moment of in
discreet confidence , disclosed to a fellow
filclul the fact that ho had boon
romptcd to wrlto his impertinent letter
o the president by his undo , the eon-
tor of pitchfork and pugilistic fame
MRO , that the other members of the
word presentation committee had not
eon coiiflultcd about the matter. The
iroflldont has received n largo number
f communications from prominent
Itizons of South Carolina denouncing
lie iiisultlngJllottor of the nontenant
ovornor and asking him not to bollovo
imt it represents any respectable olo-
icnts in the state.
The committees having in charge the
omoustrntions of the state officials and
illitla of Illinois at Charleston on
Illinois day" are taking measures to
ascertain whether the exposition man
gers nro implicated in Tillnmn's iuso-
ouco and if they do not very omphat-
cally repudiate it they will cancel nil
ngagomouts nnd lot the day pass with-
ut any demonstration so far as Illinois
a concerned. But it is not believed that
10 managers are privy to the Tillman
justness or that they endorse it in any
way. State Journal.
AGAINST MAINE CLAIMANTS.

Damages From Madrid Government.
Washington , March 7. The Spanish
rcaty claims commission handed
own a decision against the claimants
or deaths and Injuries rccolvod by
fllcora and floamen In the wreck of the
lattloshlp Malno In Havana harbor.
The commission holds that "Intll-
Idual claims of citizens of ono nation

odresH of Injuries to persons or prop-
rty which Biich citizens may have
ustalned from such government or

lalnm do not IHU In favor of the olll-
crs or men of a whip of war who rc-
clvo , in the line of duty , Injuries to
heir persons for which a foreign gov-
' niont IB responsible. The claim
gainst the foreign government IB
vholly national and all Injuries to such
Ulcers and seamen are merged In the
atlonal Injury , and they can look
nly to their own government for such
enumeration as It may choose- glvo
hem. "
The claims BO far filed with the
ommlsslon affected by this decision
amount to about $2,500,000 , which
probably would bo Increased to $5-
100,000 had the decision been favora
ble to the claimants.

A Sinn In tUc Iloinr.
There Is a young criminal lawyer In
Memphis , Tenn. , who on the occasion
of his becoming of ngo began the cele
bration of his birthday In a way that
caused his household a great deal of
consternation.
On the eve of the fete , shortly after
midnight , the young man's family were
suddenly startled from their slumbers
by n loud voice in the house calling :
"There's a man In the house ! There's
a man in the house ! "
The valiant pater famlllas rushed
from his room , bearing in his hands a
heavy billet of firewood , to learn the
cause of the disturbance and to capture
turo the intruder. His son was stand
ing in the hall , shouting nt the top of
his voice.
"Where's the man ? " exclaimed the
old gentleman.
"Here , sir ; here ! " proudly replied the
young man. "This is he. At last I'm
twenty-one ! " Memphis Scimitar.

The Wends , who , we believe , are the
ancestors of the modern Prussians , are
the center of many legends. The Pled
Piper of Hamclln was a Wend ; BO also
was the piper of the Harz mountains ,
who appeared so many days a year and
played unearthly tunes nnd whosoever
heard at once fell into a frenzy , from
which there was no escaping. All these
pled nnd weird pipers assembled once a
year nt the llrockeu , where there was n
general carnival , the arch fiend lend
ing the concert on n. violin , witches
rolling around and fiddling on the
Bkulls of horses and the pipers adding
the concert of their unholy iustru-

A learned Judge who was one of the
guests at n dinner was unexpectedly
called upon to reply to n toast. Recov
ering somewhat from his surprise , he
said that his situation reminded him
of the story of n man who fell into the
water while be was fishing.
With uo little difficulty he was res
cued , nnd , after he had regained his
breath nnd was in a fairly comforta
ble condition , his rescuer asked him
how ho came to fall Into the water.
"I did not conic to fall into the wa
ter , " replied the unfortunate fisherman.
"I came to fish. "
