The only national question In Ne braska is regarding President Reese velt's majority and every friend of the president should exert himself to see that that Is as largo and honorable a showing as It Is possible for a loyal people to show. Reports from the blooming Third do not Indicate that Patrick MeKllllp as n candidate for congress is cutting as wide a swath as his friends anticipat ed. The fusloulsts made the mistake of their lives when they turned down Prof. Maggl. lllxby In State Journal. Mrs. Nation should find It advan- tageovs to let up on her attacks upon plato glass fronts and turn her atten tion to windows that are not so thick. ' Bbo would run less of a risk , and the expense occasioned by her window- smashing campaign would he greatly reduced. If the democrats didn't make such a great to do about It there are a lot of people who would not realize what deadly havoc had been caused by tht lodging of a thirteon-Inch shell In tiieli camp by Cannon last week. It Is ih < . people who cry out who give It away that they have been hit. A Nebraska man has found a dla mend valued at $150 In a box of liver pills. The brand , however , should not be given away except at so much pet give , as It may lie a scheme of tin. manufacturers to get JItOfl worth of advertising for the price of the stone and certainly there would be a large number to try the pills if there was a chance in 10,000 of llnding a dlamoiu In the package. The promptness with which some men comply with tlie command of rob bers to "hold up hand" is sometime taken as evidence that they rathe expected the visit of the highwaymen The ordinary man commanded to holt 'up his hands might comply ns prompt ly as possible , but a brief hesltanc > would not bo unexpected while the command was working its way to the hands that are ordered up. According to the O'Neill Frontle there Is less stir than usual In the Bit , Sixth district over the election of a congressman , Judge Klnkald ha made such a popular official that there Is every appearance of a walk-away fo him , without his opponent making himself manifest. A district that Is a fortunate In getting a worthy repro sentatlve as Mr. Kinkald has prove : can assuredly afford to keep him I Washington as long as ho cares to re main. A Pennsylvania judge holds tha when a railroad employe falls asleo from physical weakness from II from Ion ness , or from weariness hours of steady employment , ho 1 Btill responsible for any rweck or ac cldent that may occur by reason of hi Bleep. It looks like a cruel decision but perhaps , after all , It Is not mor cruel to punish the man In control o the train than It Is for the same mate to punish hundreds of those In hi charge because of his weariness. * The World-Herald Is aa busily engaged state and na usual during gaged as , tJonal campaigns , In making votes fo 10 diMiiooratlc tlt'ket where no vtiten iiv heftiie. It IK expected to have vcrj candidate elected from presl- cul to mad overseer IIH long IIH the Illclal returns do not hull III and spoil 11 caleulallonN and llgunm. Demo- nils loiinerly believed ( hut the World- lei aid accurate ! ) forms ) rcMiilts , hut luce a number of them have dropped expectable wads In the betting ring i\ taking Ihitt paper's figures for It , hey have become Hoinewhat skeptical , ind ulll at least not bet on Its MM- Hcrlloim. In future naval battles the people of VuhrasKa will have particular Interest n tliu vessel that WIIH launched at So- aide Friday. The more fact that the mltli'Hhlp hears the namu of this fair commonwealth should lie to It and UH olllciii'H and mnn a favorable Indlca tlmi and If It IH not In the thickest of the fray and does not come out with sonic of the highest honors , the peo- ilo htiro will have reason for dlmip- lolntmuut. With two fusion supreme judges up witling by their decisions the now rev' ' . line law passed by the last leglsla tun ; It IH no more than just that their party should IIHHUIIIO a share of the responsibility for the measure. If the aw WIIH not fair , equlliiblo and right , these high judicial olllclalH had a chance to say so , and the fact that they said that II. IH all that IH to bo lestred docs not give license to the fu sloiilstH to charge Its alleged Iniquities ip against the republicans of the stale. A Missouri ! ! ! ! , who has probably iceii Hhown , sayH that "It IH more than within the range of probability that [ toosovoll and Fairbanks will receive .ho electoral vote of Missouri. " It would he ono of the surprises of the campaign for the southern state to go In that direction this fall , but there IIIH been "a great political upheaval : here beyond a doubt , and the disclo sures of democrat le corruption Is quite Ikely to give the republican national ticket an Impetus that will bring It out a winner. The republicans of Nebraska might not be so strongly opposed to sending Mr Bryan to the sniutto , did they not know that he Is nnd will be In the fu ture opposed to anything republican that may come up for his vote , and If the vote Is close his might bo the one ; o defeat a very desirable republican measure , or pass an undesirable dem ocratic measure. Ho cannot hope to lie elected without republican assist ance , and on the whole , it would bo hotter for him to announce his candi dacy when ho can bo elected by the votes of his own party as ho might bo embarrassed in hl.s olllclal action by loyalty to the republicans who hnvo elected him. Ho might well afford to defer the realization of his ambition to represent Nebraska In the senate and It Is not Improbable that the re publicans will look at It In this light. Tlie Sioux City Journal of Wednes day published half-tone pictures of Congressman McCarthy and P. E. Me- Kllllp , the democratic nominee for the olllco. Regarding the situation In the district , the Journal says : "Tho con test In this big Nebraska district , whoso northern border lies at the doors of Sioux City , Is of unusual In terest owing to the close division of the vote between the two leading par ties. Mr , McCarthy was elected two years ago by a plurality of only COO votes over Congressman Robinson. It Is confidently predicted , however , that ho has so strengthened himself dur ing his term In otllce that ho will greatly Increase this load this year. Mr. MeKllllp Is not very well known nt tuo northern end of the district , his homo county being In the southern tier , while Mr. McCarthy Is both well known nnd popular everywhere In the district. " Suppose It Is true , as the fuslonlsts assort , that the revenue law Is not popular with the majority of the voters ers ; suppose It Is true that the law Is not desirable from any viewpoint , does the average voter suppose that It will bo changed any moro quickly and em phatically by a fusion legislature than by a legislature of the republican choice ? The republican party , In state or nation , has no record of Im posing undesirable legislation on the people and making them submit to It. The republicans will prefer to await a trial of the law , however , before they will say that It Is not undesirable. As far as increasing taxes Is concerned , any law framed will need to Increase the taxes If the expenses of the state are to be met and the Indebtedness paid off. With Increasing values and higher prices It Is not to be supposed by sensible persons that taxes will re main below the average of such prices , and unless the taxes are unequltably distributed the fuslonlsts should find no fault , and two of their judges have told thorn that they have no fault to find with the distribution of the bur den.

Thou It Is an Inexpensive and prats- leal way of reaching the public. With Hoods In Now Mexico , Okla- KIIIIU , Texas and Arl/ona , It seems inlto possible that the arid regions of the HouthwoHt , where the hot winds arood will soon have become a thing > f the past , and the advantages the northwest has enjoyed for the pant few years because of IncreiiHod mois ture to the south are quite likely to become a permanent feature of the country. Congressman HcCarthy IH doing Home great work thin campaign and his popularity Is Increasing HH the weeks go hy. He made a good record In congress and his constttuents real l/o that they cannot Improve on pres ent conditions and will vote to retain him In the national law-making body. The assertion made by Speaker Can non that the strongest delegations In congress come from Indiana and Iowa where they return the men who are proven gooil year after year , will un doubtedly hear fruit and the Third district voters will see to It that Mr. McCarthy Is returned for another term. A great many papers are harping upon the ago of the democratic vice presidential candidate I H a prolific source for puns and jokes. It is not to lx > denied that Mr. Davis Is getting rather well along in years to make de sirable timber for any political office , but It Is also to he remembered that there should lie a certain respect for age that should not permit Its use in a frivolous manner even in n national campaign. The republicans generally have preserved their dignity during this campaign , hut some of thorn seem rather inclined to overwork the age of Mr. Davis as a theme for ridicule. Ills party may not have shown the keenest wisdom In naming him for the ollico but no censure attaches to the candidate for that. President Roosevelt has been paint ed by the democrats as a bloody son of Mars , ready and eager for war on every occasion because It happened that ho was able to bo of service to his country and an oppressed people , by participating In the light for the freedom of Cuba. Those who have ac cepted this picture without reservation may Hud It dllllcult to substitute for It an advocate of world-peace such as is truthfully shown to bo the presi dent's character by Ills representative , Secretary Hay , before the peace con gress. Mr. Roosevelt will tight , that is known , but like Mr. McKinley , ho will tlrst exhaust every effort to ar rive at a peaceful conclusion of the dllllcultics that may confront the gov ernment , and there is n probability that there would have been no war with Spain if President McKinley had had his way , but ho was urged to pre cipitate action by the people who wore moro bloodthirsty than ho nnd who afterward found fault with him for the results of the war they had urged upon the country. According to Mr. Hay , the president Is even now con sidering a means for putting to an end the awful eonlllct In the far east , which would not bo thought of by the excciitlva head of a great gov ernment who delights only In war. It may bo depended upon that President Roosevelt will nvold no honorable menus of promoting peace If there Is a threat of war , and If there Is no way to avoid war it may likewise depended upon that he will prosecute It with vigor aa a determined leader of the American people. No man can bo placed In the executive chair who will take greater precautions against war , and none can bo chosen who would provo a moro acceptable loader In the event that war Is inevitable. Croup.

HE WAS ON A WRECKED TRAIN And Was Arrested For It The Wit nesses Disappeared and He Is Un able to Get Out Scott Holbrook is Going Down to Investigate. Scott Holbrook Is planning to go to Old Mexico within the next few months , where he will investigate con ditions generally and loralo if the place suits him. A number of Mr. Hoi- brook's former railroad friends are in that country now , working on Mexi can railroads , and it is through them that lie has become Interested In the nation south of Texas. Among.those who are there now are .Mm McDonald and Mr. McMillan , who was formerly a passenger conductor In and out of Norfolk. Mr. McMillan , letters say , is in jail in that southern clime , and has been behind the bars for more than a year. He Is in jail because the law of Mexico is different from the laws of the United States regarding train wrecks. There the conductor on a wrecked train is Im prisoned. Mr. McMillan's train ran away and killed a couple of Mexicans. He was arrested and locked up , without trial. The witnesses all went away and he was still imprisoned. "The only way to-get a trial in that country , " says Mr. Holbrook , "Is to arrest the man who ought to arrest you. Hold him for a witness. Make him prosecute , or you never will get out. " Whisky in that country Is made out of cactus and one drink of it Is enough to make a man rob his own trunk. La borers will work for two cans of beans and three drinl.s of whisky per week. Their clothing costs them about sixty-eight cents eevry year that they live. They wear oveialls , a shirt and a frown. Every man , woman and child In the country is anxious to teach now com ers the Spanish language. Conduct ors get 400 Mexican dollars a month. The measure , Instead of by miles , Is counted in kilometers. BATTLE CREEK. Henry Aldag and Charles Praeuner , jr. , went to the world's fair at St. Louis , Monday.
