nntionnl in competence President MoKinley nt tho instance of Assistant Secretary of War Meikle johu hns appointed Brad D Slaughter paymaster in tho United States army with tho rank of major A dispatch from Washington says the president did this in recognition of Mr Slaughters work in tho party Such a statement is very apt to make the rank and file of tho republican party in this state have that tired feeling The president has simply been imposed upon If ho would put his ear to tho ground and listen to the opinions of the honest intelligent men who dwell on tho prairies of Ne braska and who have given a lifetime of devotion to republican principals ho would learn from them that Brad D Slaughters influence in the politics of this state had been most pernicious He hns done more io wreck party prospects and blight republican success The only recompenseJithero is in such an appointment is tho probability that it will remove such un unsavory per sonality from our borders The prospect of the recovery of yard Kipling from his severe sicknesss will bo a matter of much congratulation iu many thousands of American as well as English homes No other author has grown in popular estimation so rapidly during the last ten years as Kipling While he occupies the foremost place already among Englishmen of letters he is still a young man and if he shall re gain his health there is a general hope and expectanoy that he will surpass any thing he has yet done His career has been such a cosmopolitan one that it has fitted him to voice with a power and a purpose the cry of humanity out no other mnn of recout years has been able to do His jungle stories fascinated us his re cessional gave loftiest expression to the highest ideals of English life while The White Mans Burden has made plain Americas duty Kipling belougs to no one country He is the typical Anglo Saxon broad minded euough to Bharo iu tho needs of the wholo world May he be spared yet many years to con tinue his great mlsson

meant considerable ontstdo business and when It was noted how few of thcflo lms nro represented todny in onr advertising columns it must bo admitted that tho temptation to accopt was strong But in conformity with tho established policy of thin paper tho business was not taken Whilo wo believe this policy to bo right nnd that a nowspaper should protect its own town yet there will BometimoB creep

Among all our nntionnl heroes there are few who did not have to battle with ad verse and bitter experiences They be came illustrious beennso their lives came into contact with great principles They forgot themselves in standing by thoso things that ennoble the race Washing ton creating a nation Webster defend ing a constitution Harriot Beechor Stowo pleading for tho oppressed Lin coln emancipating race Grant saving a union Clara Barton helping human Buffering on battle field and amid pesti lencethese nre the lives that humanity honors Aud it must bo remembered thnt in assuming the burdens they did and thereby helping the world bo much their own lives were immeasurably en riched The samo holds true with nations We look upon China She has hund reds of years of a civilization all her own She has taken no part in the rest of tho worlds fortunes It has been no concern of hers But has her isolation been splendid Has her career been marked by glorious triumphs Do we not look with tho utmost pity upon a nation which has been so self -centered that it is now falling to pieces by its own weight On the other hand Great Britain lias encircled the globe with its influence and its protecting power is felt today iu India Canada Egypt and other parts of Africa Iu doing this it has assumed immense responsibilities great er than those of any other nation De spite many mistakes despite some wrong doing what candid student of history will say that Britains power has not made for the progress of the best type of civilization the world has yet Been England and Englishmen show an in creasing nobility of character because they have not shrunk from doing the worlds work The unification of Germany was a great work but German statesmen rec ognizing that national life can only be successfully maintained by broadening its scope and purposes are reaching out into Palestine China and Africa that they may as a nation be saved from de cay by enlarged responsibilities The United States finds itself sudden ly confronted with the cam of new ter ritories and millions of strange people It is a new experience For a genera tion back we have been busy within our selves occupied with the development of our own vast domain absorbed in the mad race for wealth and concerned al most wholly with running the political machine here at home or more properly speaking watching the political machine run us A great war undertaken in the inter est of humanity has changed all this It has resulted in thrusting upon us more humanity than we had dreamt of being directly interested in But true to the instinct of the Augta Saxon race we shall uot flinch from the undertnk ing It will cost blood and treasure It will inconvenience us It will oblige us to think less of growing rich aud more of growing just It will uplift the submerged people of the east it will do more it will enoble Americau character The fundamental proposition that lifo whether of individuals or of nations is only successful ns it is lost iu a magnifi cent nud earnest effoit to help those less fortunate by environment than our selves is receiving new impetus by the onward march of events In saving others
