NOVEMBER 27, UH. It has been discovered in a contest in Kentucky that the legislature will be xepablican on joint ballot What next? It is stated that the school board of Osaaaa next year will face a deficit of soaae $200,000. Nearly a score of rooms have been consolidated, and the reduc tion of teachers' salaries is now talked of as about all there is left to do in the way of economy. . Hok. Theodore Roosevelt has con trflmted to the December Forum an article entitled "Thomas Brackett Reed and the Ffty-first Congress" highly ' eoaiaasnding Mr. Bead for the course which he took in that Congress to sup prass filibustering. 'At Lewiston, Idaho, ranchers are filing on claims in the Nez Perces reservation in a continuous stream as fast as the land oBee,can accommodate them. The principal townsite is about forty miles from Lewiston, and thus far is the only one which seems of any importance. The Nez Perces reservation near Lew iston, Idaho, opened to settlement Nov. 18 by proclamation of the president, con tains 546,000 acres of land, a quarter .section for 3,412 families; yet it is said there were people enough waiting in camp on the border to take up every acre of desirable land before it was open. The Dixon County Leader says that F. J. Oath is about to open his mine of coal 2 miles north of Ponca, and will offer it for sale, at the mine, for $3150 a ton. The editor promises to give the facta later along, but takes care to say that it is a real coal mine. The proprie tor is a graduate of the Springfield, I1L, mining schools, and a practical miner. Thomas A. Hexdricks in his day was regardedeas a pretty sound democrat, . and here is what he said in 1883: There -must be a tariff until the debt is extin guished, and probably afterwards for current revenue, and that tariff should r be wisely adjusted to protect home in dustry without fostering monopolies, and to afford good returns for labor without unequal taxation." Apropos of the admission of Utah as a state, Mr. Glen Miller, a resident of Salt Lake City, contributes an article to . the December Forum under the title "Has the Mormon Church Be-Entered Politics?" answering the question in the negative. Toe article contains a re-J markable letter from the Presidents of the Mormon Church, written expressly by them for use in The Forum. The ultimate, the final ideals of edu cation are faith, hope and love. They . are not to be intellectually acquired, nor physically developed, but spiritually attained, and their attainment is char acter. Training in morals may or may not include them; discipline of the will may or may not; but these ideals felt in the heart include all things. All systems 'of education should at least suggest these ideals. f Josephine Locke. The Chicago Inter Ocean pays a trib ute to Senator John M. Thurston: "When Chicago was leveled to ashes he was a drayman, a dray boy, more properly speaking. This is indeed a splendid country where rail splitters, canal drivers, and draymen can come to the highest honors. Mr. Thurston did not get his seat by purchase. He is not a man of wealth. Brains and ideas won the Senatorial prize. In going into the senate Mr. Thurston will give the coun try the benefit, it would seem, of his pro fessional experience. He has had to do with the transcontinental railroad prob lem from the standpoint of corporate interest, but now he is the attorney for the people. This new relation involved no violation of the ethics of his profes- He has served his client faithfully, s. through. He has accented a retainer from the people, which require him to view the general subject from a different standpoint" 8. B. Colson of Fremont has written to the Tribune of that place one of the most trenchant articles we have seen lately, and called forth by this sentence in Secretary Carlisle's speech the other day, in regard to the greenbacks: "On J Feb. 25, 1862, the gbrerameatwwde its evidence ef debt legal tender individuals. -The nation was thus seat upon the wrong road and has been toiling in the wilderness ever since." One of Mr. Cohort paragraphs is: There isat living today one who as a stripling left his mother's home to face a r rebel musket; there isn't a youth who - left his sweetheart to brave a rebel can non; there isn't a man who survived the horrors of Saulsbury and Andersonville, bat what knotcs that the passage of the legal tender act at the time it was done saved the life of the republic A state sugar beet-convention will be called to meet at Fremont some time -daring,.

So says the Platte.Centar then, does it aa the federal areat as to the fight Doubtless word comes from the head of quarters at Washington, we mean Cleve land hiimrf, the "man of destiny," the democratic politician who thiaka he is greater than hja party, the man who be lieves he is "boss" of everything in sight, to bold hard to the gold issue as the prominent one, and the one on which the naiga next year is to be made. That, doubtless, is the only issue upon which be can be re-nominated, and we think we can see a contingency on which he might by a possibility be re-elected. It would be a "confidence" game, but that is what the democratic party of the nation has beam playing right along for years, until men of principle have be come disgusted with pledges and prom- broken, and the theory and practice of running the government in the inter eat of- foreign money syndicates, and presumably (almost -palpably) on a per centage of the booty. The administration wing of the demo cratic party in Nebraska is the. anti- Bryan element, and they will receive favors at headquarters' Of course Mor ton at Washington and North at Omaha are pretty well acquainted with the ins and oats of Nebraska politics. Both these are well-known politicians of the railroad aide of looking at things, and they are not so indifferent to the future that they will heedlessly stand and see their political chances go glimmering. It would be a very good thing, however, if the gold-bug politicians, and the whole monopoly crew could be run into the Cleveland camp, and the other people get together and fight the political bat tle 05 the century, for "a government of the people, by the people, for the people," under the republican banner, with a patriot, a man of brains and of good common sense, like McKinley, Beed or Allison as standard bearer. Itefradisg the Dcaioeratx. When Eli Perkins was asked hut even ing about the prospects of the republi can party in New York he said: "I'm a democrat yon know, and I only keep track of our prosperous democratic party. The democratic party is doing well." "In what respect?" asked the reporter. "Why, we have made a deficit of $300, 000,000 since G rover got in and borrowed the money to pay it We are enjoying ourselves, and we are going to let the republicans do the walking later on. The republicans paid $2,000,000,000 on the national debt and I guess they can pay this little three hundred million deficit" "But what has become of the $182, 000,000 in gold which you borrowed?" was asked. "Well, we put it with the $84,000,000 which we had in the treasury, making $266,000,000 in gold, and we have spent it all but $91,000,000 to pay running ex penses. Instead of taking in enough money at the Custom Houses to pay for running the government we hired gold from the English at four per cent Oh, we democrats are smart, we are! "We democrats don't pay greenbacks and silver to American farmers for wool," continued Eli, "but we send $81,000,000 in gold a year to Thibet and Australia." "What are you democrats doing with the great industries?" asked the reporter. "Why, we are knocking them out We've killed the Yankee lace factory at Wilkesbarre, and are buying ship loads of window curtains in Nottingham. We have shnt up a third of the woolen fac tories in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and the British steamers come loaded with woolen cloth from Bradford. Why, last year we shipped 85 per cent more woolen goods from England than we did under McKinley in 1892. We democrats are keeping the woolen mills in Leeds and Manchester going day and night And see what we are doing for our sheep at home. The slaughter houses of Kansas City and Omaha are killing millions of sheep from New Mexico and Wyoming daily. And wool! Did not our grasping farmers use to get thirty five cents for it under McKinley. and now we are sending gold to Australia and buying Swan River and Van Die man's Land wool for 10 and 15 cents? I tell yon, we democrats are running things wild. We have to, for we know you republicans are coming with the Keeley cure in '96." Cleveland Leader. President Baker of the university of Colorado says that while the training of memory, observation, expression and reasoning is an important part of educa tion, it is not all, and he adds: "The imagination, deductive reasoning, the rich possibilities of emotional life, the education of the will through ethical ideas and correct habit all are to be considered in a scheme of learning. Ideals must be added to the scientific method." Appeals to the Smprtmtm Gaaxt. Beatrice, Nov. 24. W. C.Lehane, the attorney who was sentenced by Judge Bush to pay a fine of $100 and spend 10 days in jail for contempt, went to Lincoln and secured an order from Chief Justice .Nerval suspending sen tence until the matter can be heard upon error in the supreme court.

Holcomb performed a similar duty in behalf of the state of Nebraska. The band played "America," and then ex-Governor Prince of New Mexico responded to the welcoming ad- The speaker spoke eloquently of the diversity of the country which was em braced in the representation of the convention. A country which ex tended from the level prairies to the foothills of the mountains, filled with their vast mineral wealth. Ex-Governor Prince asked his audience to think of the gold miner of Colorado who had been nude prosperous by an act of con gress and then of the poor silver miner whose prosperity had been taken away from him by the same act. Inoon clnsion he said: "We thank you heartily for your words of welcome. Our expectations have been more than realised. These flowers also present a mute welcome from .some who have not been represented on this floor, but whose welcome is as touching and graceful as any that could greet us here. We are all glad to meet here on the banks of your mighty river, in your city which is a miracle of growth and an epitome of the enterprise and progress which has made the commonwealth of the west. And we trust that our so journ here will bring nothing but pleas ure to the people of Omaha and Ne braska, as we are satisfied that it will bring nothing but pleasure to ourselves." "Cultivation and Uses of Ramie" was the first subject under discussion. Pro fessor Waterhonse of St. Louis was the chief speaker. Hugh Craig of Saa Francisco discussed American shipping. This concluded the afternoon session. From 6 to 7:90 a public reception was tendered the delegates at the city hall. ' The evening session of the body was opened with the discussion of statehood for territories by Governor Prince of New Mexico, in which he pleaded for the immediate admission of New Mexico, Utah and Arizona. The sentiment of the body was with him throughout. This topic consumed the whole session and many members joined in the discussion. It was agreed that statehood could not be withheld from these three states much longer. H. B. Whitmore of St. Louis, chair man of the executive committee, is at tracting much attention. He said: "I do not think the silver question will play much of a part in the proceedings. That has lost ground recently and is no longer a subject of first interest with the convention, though many delegates are friends of the white metal. The matter of freight discriminations will undoubtedly be one of the best subjects on the program, and the discussions of forestry, irrigation, harbors and deep waterways, and the Nicaragua canal will be attended with much interest." Lsrgert Delegatl Fret PUh. The largest and most notable delega tion in the convention represents Utah. lowaMissouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Col orado, Texas, Utah, California, Ariaona, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Wyom ing and the Dakotas are represented. It has been found necessary to make some changes in the program which was originally announced by the general committee on entertainment in differ ence to the wishes of the officers of the congress. The reception at the Lininger art gallery will be given Wednesday even ing. This will not be a public affair, aa was previously announced, as the dele gates and the local committee on enter tainment will be sufficient to tax the accommodations of the gallery. Thurs day afternoon the convention will ad journ to the football field and in the ereung they will be the guests of the Knishta of Ak-Sar-Ben at the Coliseum. Befcasij MjMUi.

He discussed the American principles of government, taking the ground that ju dicial proceedings tend to subvert the constititutional rights of citizens. He contended that the supreme court and judiciary have been constantly en larging on their powers, and that the trend of their decisions, so far as they relate to workingmen, is to deprive them of their rights and to reduce them to vassalage.

Colonel Fernando Fignerdo, the Cuban leader of this city, is in receipt of a letter from Havana giving details of atrocities which were committed by Spaniards in Matanzas province. Colonel Melino, who com mands a Spanish regiment, recently en countered the advance guard of Gomez in Matanzas, and was defeated. While soldiers under Melino were in retreat they met a group of women and chil dren near a little town called Cayopino. As the soldiers passed one of the women made a sneering remark about the Span iards. The remark was overheard by the soldiers, and so enraged them that they fell upon the women and children and butchered every one of them. There were 10 women aid about a dozen chil dren in the group. The letter says that the Spaniards, after shooting down their victims, stabbed them with bayonets4n flicting the most horrible wounds. One baby was .killed at its mother's breast, and the bullet that passed through the infant also passed through tm? mother. Colonel Melino made no report of the butchery, but it happened that two of the- women murdered were wives of Spaniards engaged in the sawmill busi ness in Matanzas. When the husbands learned how their loved ones had been slaughtered they went to Martinez de Campos, informing him of the horrible affair, and demanding that Colonel Mel ino be punished. It is said that General Campos has ordered that Melino be court martialed, and it is thought the butcher will be sentenced to death, as the massacre is condemned as bitterly by Spaniards as by Cubans. BURNED THE QUEEN ALIVE. CblaaCeaae Forward With a Tale of Re Toltlaa; Japaanw Craelty. Vanootjveb,Nov. 22. Chinese papers received hero by the steamer Empress of China are bitter in their attacks on the Japanese authorities in Corea, whom they blame for the murder of the queen. They assert that Japan is a nation pre tending to be civilized, but is the most barbarous on earth. The queen was hung up by the hair, and after being otherwise abused, tied hand and foot, soaked in oil and burned in the rear of the palace, her remains being reduced to ashes that all trace might be lost. Thirty attendants of the queen, it is alleged, were butchered, their corpses being left abont the palace. When the palace' was attacked, with some 1,500 guards on duty, only six remained at their posts, and they were quickly dis patched. According to Chinese reports there were 15 women of title in the court, the queen, her mother and 190 ladies in waiting. They were nearly all soaked in oil and burned, while the men's throats were cut. Earthaaake Ia Mexico. XJriT of Mexico, Nov. 25. Quite a severe earthquake shock was felt here.
