The homuhias thrust the Cuban bill
on the attention of the senate and now

Nebraska Is bubbling over with en
terprise and progress , despite the
troubles that have worried Wall street
nnd the endeavors of the laborers of
the east to make trouble for tholr em
ployers. It Is a good state to tlo to
nnd many of us are hero to stay.
The protective tariff Idea Is said
to bo growing In ICnglnnd , and just In
proportion as It appears to become
stronger the democrats are strength
ening tholr opposition to the policy.
Kngland would find cause for hilar
ious Jubilation If , at the tlmo It adop

States should go to n free trade bnsls.
There would not bo a question as to
the direction In which tbo world's
prosperity would swing.
If , as General lloycs says , there Is
likely to bo n repetition of the Uoor
war In South Africa , over the Isthmus
matter , It will bo safe to assume that
the people of I'ntmmn should repre

of Panama will do the same I' ' It

rights or prospect of future develop

Now that President Roosevelt ,
Governor Mlckoy and Mayor Hazon
have each spoken to the people of
Norfolk and urged that they observe
Thursday as a day of thanksgiving ,
It devolves upon each father and
mother to Issue such proclamation at
tbolr own fireside and see to It that
tbo day Is observed In the manner In
which It Is Intended to bo observed.
There Is not n person In town , It Is
safe to say , who has not some reason
for thanksgiving and they should
show It In some manner.
With a squad of United Santos war
vessels maneuvering round about the
Isthmus of Panama with guns that
can practically cover every approach
to the little republic and an apparent
determination to use them In case
of necessity , It Is just possible that
Colombia will have some hesitancy
In proceeding against the little repub
lic. It might bo n picnic for Colombln
to engage in a war with the llttlo re
public , but If It Is understood that
some of Panama's big friends will
have to be reckoned with It Is pos
sible that the South American gov
ernment will think twice before It
nets.
In the future the United States
should bo careful not to get In n
plnco whore the national honor de
mands that the country shall open
its gates to the products of some
other country that will moot In com
petition with the products of the
American farmers nnd wage earners.
It Is conceded by many opposed to
the measure , that the Cuban reci
procity treaty may bavo boon neces
sary because of the events growing
out of the war with Spain and the
establishing of a republic on the Is
land , but there are not a few who
will hope that it Is tbo last measure
of the kind congress will bo asked
to pass at least until they have had
nn opportunity to test the results of
the law , made for this occasion.
It would cause a good many people
ple surprise , If not grief , should It
turn out that Edward Rosowntor
would bo chosen to succeed Senator
Dietrich , but there are n largo num
ber of people who , while they do not
admlro the man or appreciate his In
dependent and progressive spirit ,
would bo compelled to concede that
if tbo state should receive the same
amount of publicity ns the Boo editor
gives himself , It would bo n good
thing. It Is probable that Mr. Rose-
water's self esteem Is just the quality
required by Nebraska in the senate.
Certain it is that some strong man
will need to bo the avowed candidate
of the republican party If It is desir
ous that the next legislature should
bo republican. The state needs n
man of action , nnd one of clean moral
chnractor , and the people will insist
on such a man.
Another evidence of the progress
of Nebraska is the interest being tak-

wore doing tholr whole duty and

they wore capable If they supplied
the domnnilH of a circumscribed local
Hold. They were not long In learning ,
however , that their Hold was larger ,
and they commenced to draw business
from distant parts of tbo state , then
from other states , nnd now they are
determined to get after the business
from foreign countries. While this
trade expansion will bo of benefit to
the millers thomnolvoH , It will also
add to the valtio of the products of
the farms providing them with a
broad market and a steady demand
for their produce. It Is not Improb
able that when the Held Is developed
that tlioro will bo a higher prlco for
grain , and In thus providing n broad

Intel osts provo as enterprising as the
millers In reaching out for business
the future of the state is nsured.
In 1001-2 the United Kingdom of
Great Britain Imported goods to the
value of $701,351,071 , inoro than was
exported. During the same period ,
the United States exported morchan
dlso to the value of ? 28tir.2G24 ; more
than was brought Into this country ,
Hero Is the strongest argument pos
slble that Great Britain would like to
swap conditions with the United
States by adopting n protective tnrlff.
And the reason is just as good why
the people of this country should bo
Interested In keeping tbo balance on
tbo right side of the ledger. Uy keep
ing the money of the world coming
this way It Is easy enough to see
ho.v the prosperity of the people maybe
bo maintained , but If the time comes
when the money will bo going out
Instead of coming In there will bo
hard times In spllo of everything that
can be done to keep them off. The
majority of the people are well sat-
Idled that In the republican policies

and It Is not to be questioned that
Hoosovelt will bo re-elected next year
by onq of the strongest votes ever re
corded for a republican candiadto.
The attention of the World-Herald
la called to the fact that not a repub
lican paper In the state appears to
have been nor Is now supporting Mr.
Dietrich for re-election. If the rail
roads always name the republican
candidates , and named Mr. Dietrich
first for governor and then for sen
ator there Is every reason to suppose
that they have an Inlluenco with at
least a few of the papers of the state
which should now bo doing tbolr ut
most to defend the man put Into otllco
by them but there are none. On the
contrary nearly all of them are en-
gnged In picking out a successor for
the present Incumbent of the senator
ial chair and not a few are urging
that the strongest and best man In
the party should bo chosen for the
Important position. There are a
largo number of editors and politi
cians who are desirous that Mr , Diet
rich should be able to clear himself
of the charges made against him ,
but ere as sincere In hoping that his
successor will bo a man of high moral
tone , possessing the qualities of a
stateman and that ho will bring Ne
braska to the front In the high coun
cil of the nation.
The looks of the average exchange
In this state would cause n person
to believe that there Is n paper pub-
' ( shod somewhere for everyman man ,
woman ami child In Nebraska , but It
is an erroneous Impression. U is pos
sible , however , that tlioro nro more
papers published , population consid
ered , than In any other state In the
union. Every town , nearly , supportIng -
Ing a postolllco , n blacksmith shop ,
and a grocery , has Its paper. Wo nro
a literary people and 'it speaks well
far our Intelligence that wo like to
keep up with the doings of the world ,
and particularly with the movements
of tbo people of the Imemdlato vicin
ity. Many families hnvo from three
to n dozen pnpors coming to tholr
homes every week , nnd not n few tnko
three or four dallies , and they rend
them all , and not only find pleasure
in so doing , but gain valuable Informa
tion tbat they could acquire In no
other manner. Most of those reading
the dally and weekly press , save many
times the cost of subscription through
tholr ability to locate the choice bar
gains offered through Us advertising
columns ; also by being Informed on
Investments tbat are right , and
through being posted on frauds that
are not tenderly treated by the average
ago newspaper nnd whom they can
dodge through tbo Information con
voyed by the press. Nebraska
has many institutions of which It may
well bo proud , but it is possible that
there Is no greater matter for pride
than the well patronized , readable
newspapers that are found in the
house of every Intelligent , enterpris
ing family of the state.

Stilt Wnlkurn ( if Frniice.
In the south of Franco stilts are a
necessity to the people , who are mostly
shepherds. They must walk on stilts In
order to oversee their vast ( locks of
sheep as well as to pass through the
bogs.
These shenlierds men. women and
children walk continuously on stilts
from six to eight feet high. These
stilts are merely fastened to the feet.
Sometimes the stilts have uprights
reaching as far as the knees and bound
firmly to the legs.
Generally these shepherds and shep
herdesses carry lonn poles , whidi they
can use olthor as balancing poles or as
supports very long canes , as It were
reaching to the ground. They become
so expert In stilt walking that It is no
unusual sight to see a shepherdess
striding along on stilts that raise lior
elx feet above the urnund. with her
balancing pole strapped to her bad ;
and her hands busily knitting socks for
buslmnd. son or brother.
The complete unconcern with which
these country folk make their way
along on stilts Is astonishing. One
might almost say that the children
have stilts given to them Instead of
cradles. Washington Star.
