The Albion News is authority for say
ing that W. A.Poynter is setting up pins
for- the populist gubernatorial nomi
nation. The Nebraska building at the World's
Fair cost $15,000, and sold for $75, which
last sum yir. Garneau thinks is a bargain
but he don't have to foot the bills.
Let the country enter a very solemn
protest, in these times of profound peace,
to the issue of $200,000,000 of govern
ment bonds, to cover a deficit of $00,
000,000. TnE Carlisle policy of going into debt
two hundred million dollars in order to
meet a twenty-eight million dollar deficit
doesn't seem to be meeting with very
wide approval in the country. Chicago
Times (Dem).
A few Nebraska counties have profited
by the enforcement of the depository law
during the past year, but the banks and
county treasurers have profited more in
those counties where the law was not
enforced. Omaha Bee.
TnE state depository law has come to
stay. It is loth constitutional and wise
and any efforts of state officials charged
with its enforcement to evade or ignore
its provisions will but react upon the
party responsible for their election.

"Why don't they issue greenbacks, as they did

An' if Uncle Sam sends greenbacks out you bet

The number of democratic organs
which are just discovering that "the in
come tax is not democratic" is increas
ing. The only things this year which
have the simon pure democratic brands
appear to be queen-making, the free soup

TnE four Omaha banks designated as
state depositories are entitled to hold
$200,000 of state funds. The law is that
Btate and county depositories must pay
not less than three per cent for the use
of the money of the state or county, and
they also keep account of receipts and
accretions and at stated times make
statements of dailv balances.
Bepoke the election democrats were
very anxious about the cost of "the poor
man's little dinner pail." But they don't
bother with the question of what he has
got to put in it. Millions of men with
"little dinner pails" now see the differ
ence between democratic tariff reform
and protection. They voted tariff tin
kering in and they can vote it out, but
in the meantime they have got to suffer.

The promised friendly suit to test the
constitutionality of the law which re
quires the treasurer to invest the per
manent school fund in state warrants
failed to materialize during the recent
session or the supreme court. The seal
of the members of the lward of educa
tional lands and funds seems to have
shrunk from contact with the court.
The supreme court meets again next
week, and perhaps the officials who are
afraid of the law may muster up their
courage to the sticking point. O. Bee.
The Bee, presumably defending Mayor
Bemis from the attacks of the World
Herald editor, (who is a son-in-law of
Gov. Cronnse), asks why is not the gov
ernor impeachable for refusing to en
force the no-treat law, the anti-gambling
law and the law against fornication in
the state of Omaha? "The governor of
all others is in duty bound to see that
the state laws are enforced in every part
of the commonwealth. If he cannot
enforce the laws he can quarter the
militia in the burnt district, and if they
cannot suppress the social evil he can
have the assistance of the regulars from
Fort Omaha and from all the other forts,
arsenals and navy yards."
The most ridiculous and pitiful phase
of the picayune Hawaiian policy of the
present administration is the attempt to
implicate Mr. Stevens because ten
months in advance of the overthrow of
Liliuokalani he wrote that revolution
was imminent. He would have been
blind if he hadn't seen it and written it
It was his business to note and report
-such tendencies. Revolution has been
going on spasmodically in Hawaii for
manyyeare. The settled American pol
icy has contemplated that condition and
has looked to closer relations. Mr.
Stevens was himself a friend of annexa
tion, as he had a right to be; but that
does not affect the facts surrounding the
establishment of the provisional govern
zoent Philadelphia Press.

The Cosmopolitan is one of the very
best magazines in the world, and the
number for January is a fair sample of
the kind of superior literature that the
Cosmopolitan is furnishing its" readers..
Among the leading articles is one by
Edward W. Bok, editor of the Ladies'
Home Journal, on -The Young Man in
Business, that deserves to be react and
re-read, studied and acted upon by every
young man, not only, but by every man
in business. The particular qualifica
tions to business success are very ably
set forth. What he says in regard to
college education we believe to be true,
viz: that before American colleges be
come an absolute factor in the business
capacities of men, their methods of study
and learning will have to be radically
changed. No young man need
feel hampered because of the lack of it
Without its possession as great
and honorable successes have been made
as with it The men occupying
the most important commercial positions
in New York today are self-made, whose
only education has come to them from
contact with that greatest college of all,
the business world." Mr. Bok lays down
some essential general principles: per
sonal interest; absolute honesty; alive to
every opportunity; willing to learn;
firmness of decision; entire avoidance of
the use of liquors "if the question of
harm done by intoxicating liquor is an
open one, the question of the actual
good derived from it is not"; a young
man's strongest recommendation is his
respectability "no matter where he is,
or in whose company respectability, and
all that it implies, will always command
respect." If a set of rules even more
concise is wanted, here it is, as given by
this successful young man:
Get into a business you like.
Devote yourself to it.
Be honest in everything.
Employ caution; think out a thing
well before you enter upon it.
Sleep ight hours every night.
Do everything th.it means keeping in
good health.
School yourself not to worry; worry
kills, work does't.
Avoid liquors of all kinds.
If yon must smoke, smoke moderately.
Shun discussion on two points relig
ion and politics.
And lastly, but not least: Marry a
true woman, and have your own home.
Many a man who has achieved success
in life, looking back upon his career, has
marked the turning-point, when, for him,
a world of new light dawned, "a new
heaven and a new earth" seemed under
his feet and over his head, all at the bid
ding of a thought, commanding his
attention and fixing his energies towards
the accomplishment of a certain definite
object, good in its pursuit and desirable
in its attainment. This article of Mr.
Vtnlr'a mav lift iminpnsn rrnnrl. if rp,lll with
thoughtful care by the young men who
wish to succeed.
Washington Letter.
From our regular correspondent.
The most bitter opponent of Mr. Cleve
land and his democratic majority in
congress could not possibly have wished
them to occupy a more humiliating posi
tion before the country than the stand
cower, would probably be the most truly
expressive word to use in today. The
majority of the house ways and means
committee at the dictation of Mr. Cleve
land prepared a monstrosity in the shape
of the tariff bill which was condemned
from every section of the country and by
all classes of citizens as soon as its
nature was known. Having done Mr.
Cleveland's bidding in preparing the
tariff bill, the majority of the democrats
on that committee concluded to do a
stroke of business on their own account,
and the outcome was the proposed in
come tax, to which Mr. Cleveland is as
bitterly opposed as forty or fifty demo
crats are to the Cleveland tariff bill.
Result: a revolt of formidable proior
tions in the democratic ranks which
appears to threaten the very existence of
the party which has never in thirty years
carried an election, except by making
promises that it had no idea of carry
ing out
As if that condition of affairs were not
sufficient to bring blushes of shame to
the cheeks of every misguided man who
calls himself a democrat, along comes
the news that Minister Willis, acting
under Mr. Cleveland's instructions, had,
after the matter had been officially refer
red to congress, where General Harrison
left it and where it properly belongs,
demanded of the provisional government
of Hawaii that it restore queen Liliu
okalani and that the demand had been
very properly refused. Official news was
brought to Mr. Cleveland Friday night,
but he has not allowed a word to be
given out, except to the "cuckoo" mem
bers of congress, but some of them have
leaked as usual. There is the greatest
indignation in congress, among demo
crats as well as republicans, at this
breach of faith on the part of the admin
istration, for Willis's act cannot be
truthfully characterized by any other
expression. The "cuckoos" pretend that
Mr. Cleveland was surprised and shocked
when he got the news, but that will not
be swallowed by congress. Already
Representative Hitt, who stands at the
head of the republicans on the house
committee on foreign affairs, has intro
duced a resolution calling on Mr. Cleve
land for all the official information con
cerning Hawaii that has come to him
since his message of Dec. 18; also for
information as to whose orders Willis
acted under in his latest attempt to
overthrow a friendly government The
probabilities of impeachment are stron
ger than at any time since congress met,
and the administration has fewer friends.
Chairman Carter, of the Republican
National committee is in Washington for
the purpose of presiding over the meet
ing of the executive committee, to be
held this week. .The meeting will not
be public, but the principal subject be
fore it will be the congressional cam
paign of this year and the establishment
of permanent headquarters. Speaking
of the outlook Mr. Carter said: "I be
lieve the prospects for an overwhelming
republican victory next fall could not be
brighter. The democrats are manifest
ing their entire and absolute inability to
legislate intelligently for the business
interests of the country, and the country
sees it now plainer than ever before."
Every intelligent democrat in congress
will admit in private conversation that
he has abandoned hope of retaining con
trol of the next house, and it is ju6t be
cause they have abandoned hope that
some of them have grown so reckless in I
regard to what the public thinks of some '
of the proposed legislation by the pres
ent congress.
Of all the fizzles that alleged demo
cratic cancus on the tariff was about the
worst seen in Washington. In the 'first
place enough democrats stayed away to
control the house with the help of the
solid republican vote, even if the caucus j
had really intended to get down to busi
ness, which it did not Speaker Crisp's
resolution which was adopted amounted
to exactly nothing, and that was what it
was intended to amount to. Chairman
Wilson did not dare to offer a resolution
endorsing the Cleveland tariff bill, fear
ing that it would be voted down. The
speech made by Speaker CriBp was a
peculiar one. While pretending to favor
Mr. Cleveland and his tariff bill he speci
fically encouraged the dissatisfied demo
crats and invited them to state their
objections on the floor of the house, and
then to vote against the bill if these
objections could not be overcome. The
dissatisfied democrats appear to think
that breaking a quorum is a much better
way to bring about what they want

Council met in adjourned session Sat
urday evening all present except New
man. Minutes of previous meetings
were read and approved.
Mr. Dietrich asked for a reduction on
his occupation tax from $10 to $5. The
council didn't think that they had any
legal right to make distinctions, on
account of amount of businefs done,
much or little,
The report of City Attorney Whit
moyer on the matter of the removal of
Macken's saloon, was adopted. He will
remain where he is, for the present.
On motion of Gray the clerk was in
structed to furnish Mr. Macken with a
copy of the attorney's report.
The report of C. E. Pollock & Co.,
apothecaries was placed on tile.
Galley, of the committee on water
works, made a verbal report as to their
findings in putting down wells into the
first and second veins of water at the
works. The first was 23 feet deep, the
secotid 43 feet; both gave a good supply
of water. The lower vein runs through
large gravel stones. A scheme was
shown as approved by the committee for
placing points twenty feet apart, if the
point system is agreed upon as advisable.
As to supply from the Loup, they could
not give information except approxi
mately. The distance they supposed
would be more than a mile and a half;
they believed the fall would be ample and,
if so, that the city could have a constant
supply for all purposes for years to
come. He closed by saying that it is for
the council to determine whether they
will make a survey to know what can
be done.
As to the purity of the water of the
Loup, Gray said the only way to ascer
tain was to have an analysis made.
Galley remarked that he would rather
drink of the Loup unfiltered than of the
Missouri filtered.
After considerable informal discussion
as to the various features of the situa
tion, by the mayor and all the members
of the council, a resolution offered by
Gray was unanimously adopted provid
ing for a survey.
The council then adjourned, subject
to the call of the mayor.

will direct Mr. Gross' operations. Mr.

of tobacco can be raised in Nebraska.
By the way, the United States! depart
ment of agriculture demonstrated that a
superior quality of the 'weed can be
raised on Nebraska soil through a series
of experiments at Schuyler. Madison
Reporter.
The Schuyler Quill gives the following
bit of local news in 'regard to a former
citizen of Columbus: "Rev. J. W. 8cott,
the Baptist minister, is holding a series
of meetings in the Octavia church this
week and rides to and from ou his
bicycle, he being an expert on the wheel.
On Tuesday night as he" was coming
home, when jnst below the slough bridge
south of the city, he suddenly espied a
fellow with a horse and road cart coming
at a fast gait toward him. The fellow
espied him at about the same time.
Both turned to the right, then both to
the left, and finally a collision occurred.
Rev. Scott was knocked "off the perch"
and awheel of the road cart ran over
him and his bicycle, damaging the
machine and bruising him. The occu
pant of the cart was thrown out and his
rig upset. The horse dragged the driver
a short distance, then got free, only to
go off the end of another bridge further
on. Rev. Scott got the animal and fixed
up the rig while the stranger kept in
sisting that he was killed. He refused
to give his name and finally drove on,
then our minister shouldered the bigger
piece of his wheel and limped .home,
where he obtained a lantern and went
back and secured the smaller pieces."
