It is a matter of serious queslioi
ing whether Washington's maxim
"No entangling alliances , " can b
rigidly adhered to by this nation ai
tor the completion of the canal open
a gateway to the nations of the worl
which they have sought for 400 yean
This question Is agitating Europea ;
countries quite as much as It doe
the United States and whether we < lc
sire it or not , its opening will inevl !
ably force this country to participat
moro largely than ever before in Ir
Uriiational politics. For good or evl
wo are already a world power am
must play our part in the communit ;
of nations. To do this wisely am
creditably will require a bette
knowledge among our public men o
other nations , better trained diplc
mats and a public press that take
Itself and public affairs more ser
ously.
It is difficult at this distance am
with the fragmentary information ol
tainable to correctly judge the ren
situation in China ; but out of all th
facts that filter through to the oul
aide world , it is apparent that the re
form spirit is making wonderful am
substantial progress. The old orde
is rapidly passing , and in its place i
beginning to appear a movemen
which means not only the ovcrthrov
of the Manchu dynasty , but the es
tablishment of a new national gov
eminent under a federal constitutor
That the Chinese have the ability t
create and maintain popular goverr
ment can hardly bo doubted. Nol
withstanding the existence of a larg
mass living in ignorance and povertj
nevertheless a sufficiently formldabl
element of educated , progressive , pc
triotic men exists to lead the peopl
of China Into the advantages am
benefits of government under const
tutional forms and administered It
telllgently and honestly for the bel
torment of the whole nation.
CARNEGIE OUT OF PLACE.
Andrew Carnegie Is oversteppln ,
the boundaries of private cltizenshi ;
when he exchanges telegrams with :
Chinese rebel official , attributing t
the United States government an al
tltudo favorable to the revolutionists
Mr. Carnegie may feel that way abou
It himself , just as most everybody els
In the United States does , but whei
ho sends a cablegram to China int !
mating that the United States Is tah
Ing sides in the war , or that it sym
pathizes with the rebels , he is goini
too far.
Mr. Carnegie's very position In thi
United States should tend to restraii
' any such comments as he made to i
former Chinese minister in a cable
I gram. Ho might easily Involve Amoi
, leans now living in China , by sue ]
indiscretion.
,
i Wo have a pretty able state depart
, ment at Washington , hired to lool
after our diplomatic relations wit !
other countries , and it would bo wel
enough for Influential private citl

I A REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
The official announcement tli a
Congressman-elect Dan V. Stophem
had a majority of only 3,954 over Col
J. C. Elliott , the republican candldat
In the Third congressional district o
Nebnukit , can mean nothing more no
less than an emphatic victory for th
lepubllcaii party , even though Mi
Stephens was floated.
A jear ago the demociatle nomine
In this district was given a majoilt
of 7.HSS over the lepublican eand
date , so that Col. Elliott sliced th
demociatle maiglii by more than 11.10
votes , and all this in spite of the fac
that the national domociatlc pint ,
centeied all Its campaign thunder ui
on this diHtilct In Its effoit to elec
Stephen .
Not only did William Jennlng
Uiyan make ono of his clmiacterlstl
campaign touts over the dlstilct , a |
pealing eloquently to "piogtesslve

domociatlc piesldential nomlnatlo
next jear , was can led over the ( lit
tilct in a special Unlii from which h
dollveied his most effective campaig
aigumcnt in behalf of a democratl
congressman.
Over against this torn outuitlon c :

made his campaign piactlcally slngl. .
handed and alone. He leceived no as
slstanco from noted leadeis of th
putty and his success in cutting dow
the democratic majority in the _ dl :
trlct to about half its loimer si/o i
face of this uneven battle , must b
conceded by democrats and lepubl
cans alike to be a icmarkable achlev. .
ment and to indicate a remarkabl
unity among the republicans of tli
district and a growing sentiment 1
support of the sane policies for vvhlc
republicanism stands.
The complaint and agitation coi
corning the high cost of all kinds c
food , which is every where heard 1
the United States , is being echoed ai
over the wet Id. From European com
tries and throughout the orient th
same protest is being made. I
Franco the women resorted to as
baulting the provision stores and d (
stroylng their supplies. In German
and other countries the parliament
and legislatuios have been appeal
to for relief. For twenty years , th
cost of food has been increasing , untl
in the United States , for example
government reports show that overj
thing used on the table Is higher nov
than it has averaged for the pas
score of years. Many different rot
sons are given for present conditions
and n combination of them wouli
prob.ibly answer the question. Som
of the more important are : "The ecc
nomic waste of armies and navies
the restriction of the output and th
high wages demanded by the labo
unions , the excessive pi of its demand
ed by trusts and monopolies , the prt
tection given to the tiiibts by the tai
Iff , the excessive cost of dlstributio :
due to unreasonable fi eight rates , e >
cesslvo ictail pi of its , the Increase ii
taxation caused by our extensive am
expetiblve public school buildings , th
increase in the gold supply which ha
cheapened the value of money , th
tact that what were once luxuries ai
now regarded as necessities , and t
the growth in the past quaiter of ;
century of which has taken capita
and labor from the country wher
they were food producers to the citie
where they arc food consumers. Dm
Ing the past ten years the farm are ;
In the United States has increasei
only about 4 percent , while the popi :
latlon has inci eased more than 2
percent. These causes , together will
the rise in the standard of living
have combined to place the prices o
necessities as well as luxuries we !
nigh out of the reach of the man o
ordinary income. The possible rerr
edles mentioned aio quite as numei
ous as the causes. Ono thing seem
sure , however , that the pi ices mus
bo lowered and the visible supply ir
creased or many people will go hur
gry before the winter is over.
REPORTER AND THE AUTHOfl
A unique provision in Joseph Pulil
zor's will provides prizes for meritor
ous services by newspapers , for nov
els , plays and for the best example o
a reporter's work.
It is significant that Mr. Pulitze
offers the same honor to achieve
ments as a newspaper reporter as ti
achievement In novel or play wrll
Ing.
Ing.And
And yet , we recall a cartoon pul
llshcd by a humorous paper , in whicl
a society girl was depleted as asklni
"Can a reporter be a gentleman ? "
A glorified halo of artistic temper ?
mont descends upon the head of th
young man who announces that h
has chosen a literary career. Friend
whoso idea of success is measured ii
terms of automobiles and Perslai
rugs may wish that he had chosen i
calling where the financial reward
are less capricious. But in their sc
cret hearts they admire his sports
manshlp.
While the calling of the reporto
has grown moro dignified as newspn
pors have grown better , there doe ;
exist with some impression that tin
reporter's position lacks dignity. Tin
public of course justifies a youni
man who takes that position , for will
Ingncss to engage In the rough am
tumble life over the stepping stonei
of life. But there is yet to come i
full recognition of the fact that tin
calling of the reporter Is one essen
tially of largo dignity.
In the temper of our times , In splti
of the occasional really vital nove
and play , the novelist and playwrlgh
usually only amuse. They make thi
public laugh , the icportcr makes th
public think. Hy the license of flc
tlon , the whole woild of Imnglnatlo :
Is at the command of the novelist an
playwlight. The lepoiter Is given th
haul , h.ue facts of life1 , llo Is hoi
down to lilies of picclslon and accui
aey , which never bother the nov ells
or playwright. If ho is a leally goo
lopoiter , ho nous between those fact
Into the vital pilnclples of llfp , and s
shapes hla story that they Illustrat
thoseprinciples. .
Under piesent conditions , the wet
of the lepoiter Is usually undorpali
because the public falls to doman
the highest giado of woik and pa
for it. But the public taste IB grow
Ing more discriminating. It will be
foio long refuse to accept newspaper
which pi iut sloppily wiltton and it
accurate news stoiles , and It will h
willing to pay pi Ices that will pcunl
newspaper lepoitois to make the cal
ing a bouice of peimanent lellance.

almost a year before the f.imou
Bonestecl land iitslt. The idea cam
to mind to issue a noon edition am
send it to Bonesteel to be dlsttibutoi
in the evening to the excursioi
crowd. This was done , and create' '
bo much comment that the 'noon ed ;
tion became a regulai instltutioi
within a week , and now has mud
gieatei eli dilation than any othe
edition ot the paper.
When W. N. Huse came to Noifol !
lioni Ponea , Nov. Ul , 1888 , and bough
The News he had in mind the piojee
of some day expanding the clrculatlo ;
of the paper so as to cover the terr
tory it is now leaching. He chos

lines of steel that would some day b
extended into new legions , as the.
have been , and over which mail train
would cairj The Norfolk Daily New
with many houis fresher telegraph !
lepoits than could possibly be brougb
into this field by papeis from OmalKi
Sioux City or Lincoln.
That dieam of nearly twenty-iiv
years ago has come true , and toda ;
all of northern Nebraska and soutli
em South Dakota are depending upoi
The Norfolk Dally News for their ii :
formation as to what the world is do

ical standpoint , is one of the fines
printing establishments in the west
and bank and county printing an
being done on an extensive scale fo
a large territory.
Mr. Huso now has associated witl
him in the business his two sons , N
