Anyway none of tlio pools liavo boon Inspired to remark regarding the manner In which winter llngora iu tbo lap of spring. The lap of spring Is too far out of sight. Representative ComoiTord will prob ably testify to the fact tlmt "it Is not/ always altogether safe to proceed to make accusations on suspicion or moro hearsay testimony. Nebraska Is to bo permitted to try It again on the federal bench of Ari zona and friends of Senator Tucker nro confident that ho will carry tho" honor with honesty and dignity. Will the senate Insist on throwing Oklahoma out of the union again pro viding It can bo proven that Oklaho ma men Imvo become drunk on Okla homa whisky Insldo of that twenty- one year limit ? ' Down In the southern part of Texas It is alleged , people are plcUlng ripe strawberries out of their gardens. They are not yet ripe In Nebraska. Stand up for Nebraska , even if it docs' hurt some. The Indiana senate has taken a fall out of the cigarette and its users by passing a measure prohibiting tholr sale of the giving of them away. Ne braska has a similar measure to con sider. Valentino's day may quite reason ably be considered a failure If It does not bring to Nebraska a package of warmer temperatures. That Is the least that could bo expected by the people from the anniversary. Hopelessly falling on the lecture platform John L. Sullivan has Issued a challenge to James J. Corbott , the man who knocked him out and an other has been. Corbett sneorlngly refused to meet the ancient champion. The country should be able to fur nish , by this time , some seasoned re cruits to join Lieutenant Perry In his flying trip to the north polo. If the pole can show anything much worse than this the people of the world are entitled to know It. Atlanta Is the latest city to bo iso lated by a sleet storm , breaking the wires of communication. If , there fore , there is Inspiration to leave Ne braska to escape the Ice you will be careful that your stops do not lead Georglaward. There may bo an eclipse of those new planets that the senate claims to ha\o discovered In the American firm ament. The house of representatives appears to be Inclined to got in be tween them and the broad light of the union. The senate can hardly expect Its statehood bill to receive kindly treat ment at the hands of the house if the upper body of congress does not deal approvingly with the freight rate measure that Jias beoen handed to it by the house. It will bo something more than an other month until the vernal equinox is duo to appear above the southern horizon and if you think that you will not he able to stand for more of this it Is up to you to follow the ground hog's example and hibernate.

Perhaps , now that Mr. Coinorfon owes no allegiance whatever to the Illinois assembly ho will proceed to deliberately dig up hitherto unexpoRci evidence to prove that ho was no far wrong In making the charges ho did.

The latest positive proof that "hon esty Is the host policy" from a nota ble source comes from Mr. IHddlo , for merly freight tralllo manager of the Santa Ko railroad. It will he remem bered that Mr. Hlddlo testified before Now York exercises very clover judgement In some things and her Idea of having a theater holocaust when thuro was no one In the theater Is subject to approval.

" "Alllo Albertlno Williams was born In Chautauqua county , New York , on January 27s 1877. She moved here with her parents eighteen years ago whore she has since made her homo She passed away at 4 o'clock this morning at the residence of her pa rents , Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Williams in South Tenth street , after a sick ness of but ten days from pneumonia The funeral services will be held from the Methodist church tomorrow after noon at 2:3 : o'clock.

AdvortlHlng In the newspapers Is no now thing. The llrnt advertisement of that character IH said to have ap peared In 1052. There Is a chance , a.t this late date , however , of learning some advertisers Iho kind that maybe bo expected lo bring forth the best roHiilts. OladHtono IH crodltdd with having well served bin country and the world , but ho made a mlHtako when ha add ed to the Kngllsh vocabulary the word , "dlROHtabllshnientarl a n 1 s in , " which Is said to bo the longest word over coined. Some people will never forgive him for It. Speaker Cannon thinks the repub lican , majority In the liouso as well ( liialllled lo dietato the course of the government as the democratic xmlnor- Hy In the semite , and proposes to stand an pat an possible on leglshi ( Ion favored by a rcinibllcan oxecu live. It Is about cortaln that the senate will need the house and president If they wish to place In effect any pet measures , and to keep peace In the governmonlal family it may yet bo necessary for the senate to give lion est and thoughtful consideration to ho railroad rate measure. Tbo house majority in favor of rail oad legislation might Include the bel Icoso senators and then make good , f they were only permitted to count t that way. It was strong enough to iass over the head of the senate and so high up In the air that the senat ors would not be able to see It with .ho naked eye. When It Is considered that a man's leart beats 02,160 times a day the surprise Is not that there Is so much heart disease , but that It is so sel dom encountered. It Is a bard worked piece of human machinery and oftentimes - times it is not treated as well as a piece of metal machinery that does less work and does not last as long. Either the United , States may boast of a state of civilization that fosters Sunday schools or the Sunday schools may take credit ns an Important fac tor in advancing the country to the forefront of other countries of the world. There are in the country 139- 817 of these schools or more than half the number maintained throughout the world. The Infrequency of accident on the Gorman railways may ue accounted for In part by the fact that the engi neers in that country receive a gold medal and a gift of $500 for every ten years of service without an accident. Such recognition is worth striving ten years to attain , and with It in reach of all It may be calculated that acci dents will bo reduced to the mini mum. There are , traits of the Japanese that the civilized world might well follow * . Ono of them Is the enforce ment of a law prohibiting boys from using tobacco until they have reached the ago of twenty years. After a boy has reached that age lie should bo discreet enough to leave the weed se verely alone , but If not It will network work the same harm as though he commenced Its use at half that age. The chill of February Is crashing low temperature records in many parts of the west , but the people are not unusually gleeful over the result. They would much rather see the bat ting or motoring or trotting record broken. Anything for a change would bo agreeable. If it wants to break the record on how quick it can warm up and how long it can remain wanh there will bo great glee among all peoplo. The Inhumanity of the trusts has been alleged and HometlmcH proven but when It comes to downright cru elly there IH nothing thin Hlilo of Iloch that will give oven a faint conception oT the deviltry that ban Umpired the American hen to withhold from an egg-hungry public Iho chief re < | iilHllo for omelclH , cimtardH and other thlngH that are consldoiod necessary for the malntunanco of the well-ordered fam ily. The Japn have grown tired wailing for HoJoHtveimky and to lellevo the monotony of the wait It IH now pie poHed to Invent Vladivostok and Invade vado IliiHHlan territory. The accomp lishments of the Japanese navy nlnco the taking of Port Arthur has been of Hiich IiiHlgnlllcauco thai Iho voter- aim of many lights tire sweating for action , and It IH up lo the commanders lo glvo them something moro Hlren- noun lu do than working a patrol. With Iho mercury at thirty below hi Kansas and twenty below In MIs- sourl there IH not much Inducement for Nuhnmkuim to journey south In order to avoid Iho ngors of Iho win ter HCUSOII. It Is apparent that In hilling Nobnmka old King Winter In- IcndH lo punish others with equal se verity. There Is no present joy In the conditions but Nobnmka may be expected lo got out from under aH soon an the next ono. Iloch him now confessed to having had thirteen wives and Is on the verge of a break down. Afler the breakdown ho IB expected to confess to the other twenty or thirty that have been duly credited to him by the po lice and other authorities. Lincoln ban rushed to Iho front In behalf of Nebraska with tbo assertion that Iloch had visited this stale and included n Nebraska woman in his list of matrimonial menial adventures. It has now been discovered that Johaun Iloch taught school in Otoo coituly where ho proposed to several woman but not having his hypnotism down to a fine point was rejected in every instance. Otoe probably Is not exclusive In the entertainment of the Chicago Bluebeard. If ho was there ho was probably likewise In other portions of the state. Though It makes him a hundred and forty-five years of ago Nebraska will be com pelled to insist that he spent a portion tion of his life here. Hradslreet's , Dun's and other * fin ancial reviews never fail lo record the failures In the business world , but un fortunately they are unable to record the successes and there Is therefore no manner of comparison possible. A year or a day may develop a failure , but H requires years or a life tlmo to develop a success. It Is possible that If the successes could be summarized thnre would be encouragement for tbo ambitious to press onward , hopIng - Ing to win the goal that many have reached before them. America would not like to see trou ble of a serious nature grow out of tbo differences between tlie president , the house and the senate , but the lat- lor has taken the initiative in assert ing that it will not consider a meas ure on its merits in advance and the executive and the house are entitled to assort themselves In a manner as decidedly imperialistic as the senate , without a doubt. The people glvo the president and the house credit with being desirous of forwarding the best interests of the country while they withhold such credit from the senate and are Inclined lo believe that per sonal interests or corporate influence are allowed to blind the eyes of the senators. It is to bo hoped that the matter will bo cleared away and the three branches of the government working In harmony before the pres ent session of congress conies to an end. There U a large amount of work that should bo transacted in the next three weeks , and an early agree ment on' legislation that will bo adopt ed Is desirable. The freight rate mat ter Is now up to the senate and Its early action will clear the way for olher imporlant measures and place the several dopartmenls in harmony. The stale would probably not ob ject If the legislators would average up the value of the railway passes to them and raise the salaries of all of ficials accordingly. It would seem much better that the officials should bo entirely In the pay of the state and not partially in the pay of the rail roads. The newspaper man who re ceives transportation is expected to glvo valte received , also the railroad employe , and the state officer is prob ably not an exemption. The officials may think that the vote at the last election is in support of their main- 'talnlng their passes , but there were other and more weighty questions at stake last November , and if it comes to a showdown whether or not the puoplo approve of tholr officials ac cepting thcso favors from the rail roads with whom they nro expected to deal exactly as they would with any other corporation or with Indi vidual * It would probably he * found that the majority of the republicans aH well an fiiHlonlHtu would prefer that the paHtohoardu Hhould not he accepted and used. The present leg- iHlalure might do far worno than adopting a law prohibiting the accept ance of PIIHHCH , It heghm to look as though Uncle Sam WIIH about lo take cognizance of the facl that John Rockefeller Is attempting - tempting to do things to Kansas that should not bo done by any corporation having a soul , and the movement of the house of representatives to In- qulro Into the difference , between th" coat of crude and refined OH ! ! In Hint state and the difference In prlcon there and In other slales , Is evidence llmt there is an Intention lo find out wbolher or not there Is any forcing business being carried on by the Standard Oil king. There Is more than a suspicion that the oil Interests are operating in restraint of trade and competition very decidedly In the Sunflower state and there Is a chance that It may bo caught red- handed In the act and evidence ad duced that will go a long ways toward proving the Standard company a dan gerous trust In the eyes of the laws of the country. The people know that the Standard Oil people and other corporations employ methods of squeezing out competition and then running the price of their products up out of reason and they only hope that the government may bo able to provo It and make It possible for competi tion lo live In a counlry reputed to be free. The Kansas situation offers a splendid field In which to prove that the government meaim business in its attitude opposing monopolies.
