The civilized world are exceedingly
slow to more against the brutish Turks
for their continued atrocities committed
on the Armenians. One report recently
is that 10,000 inhabitants have tied to
the mountains, preferring the chances
of deatii by starvation and cold to the
fiendish cruelty of their rulers.

At Nysted, a small town twelve miles
west of St. Paul, this state, Saturday
night, while a dance was in progress in
the town hall, a gang of toughs rode
into town firing revolvers, breaking
down the door of the hall, lassoing chil
dren and indulging in other scandalous
proceedings. Peter Johnson, one of the
leaders, was arrested and fined.
If reciprocity is not one of the living
principles upon which this government
will be conducted after the people arrive
at their own, we are most miserably mis
taken in our guess as to what they are
now thinking on. When you buy any
thing, get a value for what you give in
exchange. The principle holds good all
through, as well with nations as witli
individuals.
Dr. Hovhannes K. Peltekian of Bal

feet on one side of the track, the other
being found eighty feet on the other
aide, both being instantly killed. They
were trying to get their car off the track.
One of the men was father to one pair of
twins and two sets of triplets; the other
man was father to a large family of
children. Alex Craigie and Ferdinand
Beiket were the names of the men.
A whole host of republicans favor no
increase in the interest-bearing debt of
the country. The political party that
makes it absolutely necessary to borrow
money to pay current expenses, should
be relegated to the rear at the very first
fair opportunity. In the meantime, le't
as do the best we can. If bonds it must
be, let them be at the lowest possible
rate, and offered in the open market to
ear own people. Let us cut loose from
foreign dictation, domination or sug-
Ih an article entitled "The Duty of
Government to Unfortunate Children,"
by Buth Everett, which appears in The
Monthly Illustrator and Home and
Country, New York, for January, a
strong plea is made to those benevolent
ly inclined, as well as to the govern
ments behalf of the waif, the feeble
minded and the crippled children, who
cared for or forgotten, which? at pub
lic expense, in the public charitable
institutions in every large city aye, and
the smaller ones throughout the world.
Those in the institutions on Randall's
Island, New York some illustrations of
the departments of which are used as an
object lesson number more than a
thousand of these unfortunates. That
institution is cited as the best of its
kind anywhere. And yet, to the mind of
the author evidently a very earnest
woman it falls far short of fulfilling
"The Duty of Government to Unfortu
nate Children." The article is interest
ing but only one of many such in the
current number of The Monthly Hlus
trator and Home and Country, 149-153
Leonard Street, N. Y. Subscription
82.00 a year.
Republicans differ from President
Cleveland in the manner of providing
revenue for paying current expenses.
So long as there is not tariff enough to
meet these expenses, we (all the people)
must go in debt, either to the money
syndicates in the way of giving them a
promissory note or bond, or else we must
resort to a forced loan by the issuance
of greenbacks. There is one other way,
and that is to raise revenue by a direct
tax, the same as is now done for state
and municipal purposes, but this re
ceives favor with but very few, and is
virtually out of the question. The de
sirable things are: a tariff sufficient to
pay expenses and something more; no
increase of our indebtedness, if possible,
but, if an increase, let it be non interest
bearing in some shape. The sooner we
realize the fact that our government is
simply our authorized agent for the
transaction of our business, in our way,
the sooner we will pull out of the wil
derness of free trade and financial and
industrial distress.
One day last week the explosion of
four tons of giant powder near the little
town of Romeo, shook the country all
around. In Chicago windows shook and
rattled and buildings seemed to rock.
Probably 1,000,000 people were awakened
by the shock. Not a stick of wood or a
scrap of iron of the magazine was left.
About the only tangiblo result was an
immense hole in the ground. A 7.1-pound
weight known to have leen at the maga
zine was found half a mile away, where
it had been carried by the force of the
shock. That no one was killed or injured
is due to the fact that there were no
watchmen on duty in the vicinity at the
time and no night shifts employed on
the line. The idea is that the explosion
occurred in the drying room of the pow
der house. The nearest habitation to
the place of the disaster is a quarter of a
mile distant, the contractor's lioarding
houses. Nearly 200 men there were
thrown from their beds to the floor bnt
none were injured.
Col. Parker, at the State Teachers'
meeting, gave some instances showing
how teachers can be utterly void of all
sight into the natures or even physical
ailments or powers of their pupils.
Many children grow up in ignorance
and with the reputation among their
playmates, who might bo the brightest
of the whole lot if but five minutes of
scientific thought were put on their
cases. Pupila are often deaf or partly
blind, and beirrg backward never make
their ailments known until some one
who is imbued with the true instinct of
tho student of children discovers the
defect and cures it. Tests can be ar
ranged to ascertain the condition of the
pupils, entirely unknown to tho children
themselves. We know that there are
multitudes of defects of the eyes, espe
cially, which have escaped attention for
years.
Speakino or the State Teachers' asso
ciation, the Fremont Tribune says that
there are something like ten thousand
teachers in Nebraska, and a thousand of
them gather yearly in the interest of
their profession. The Tribune believes
that, the preponderance of women in the
profession accounts for the success of
tho associations and says they are nat
urally more devoted than men to their
undertakings. They feel the responsi
bility devolving npon them for the
proper guidance, direction and cultiva
tion of tho youth of the state. That
they are making their best efforts to
fulfill their mission is a matter of con
gratulation to every citizen of Nebraska.
It is n guarantee that the percentage of
illiteracy of the citizenship of the com
monwealth will continue in the future
to bo the smallest of any state in the
Union.
Alfred Austin is to be poet laureate
of England, succeeding to the position
made vacant by Tennyson's death, ne
was born near Leeds, May 30, 1835. His
first acknowledged volume of verse, "The
Season, a Satire," appeared in 1801. His
literary life has been various, being at
one time a newspaper correspondent
during tho Franco-German war; also a
writer of political works. What has
brought him into prominence more than
anything else he has written is a prose
work entitled "The Garden that I Love."
Many English-speaking people will hear
the poet's name for the first time, and it
is to be hoped that he will do equally as
well as Tennyson. The true poet is the
seer, the prophet, the news-bearer, so to
speak, of the coming "times."
The Madison Chronicle tells it just
about as briefly as can be: Under repub
lican rule, with a republican tariff, there
was no failure to pay current expenses
no deficit and the principal of the pub
lic debt was being rapidly paid. There
is no reason why we should not return
to the 6ame methods of doing business
except the partisan prejudice and free
trade theories of the president. He can
bring prosperity or he can continue the
rule of calamity to the end of his career
if he so wills.
Tuesday last the insurgents and the
Spanish troops in Cuba had several en
counters, the insurgents getting the
worst of it, but Etill inflicting considera
ble injury on the troops. The insur
gents do not engago the troops if they
can help it, but depend on their good
horses to get them out of danger and
keep the troops on the move. Pitiable
stories are told of the suffering of the
people by reason of the two forces ran
sacking, burning and carrying off valuables.
BUTTON INDUSTRY INJURED.
Created by McKfaley Fre
SaSSera Vm4mt the Wilson Mil.
It -will be remembered how vigorOM
was the opposition to the protective tar
iff upon buttons that was proposed and
established under the McKinley tariff.
Ihis duty was 2 cents per line, button
measure, and 25 per cent ad valorem.
The protection thus afforded succeeded
in building up the button manufacturing
industry in the United States at sev
eral points and correspondingly prohibit
ed the importation of foreign made but
tons buttons which, by the way, are
mostly turned out by the convict labor
of Europe, and which would not be ad
mitted into the United States if the pro
visions of the tariff were strictly carried
out
The tariff reformers and free traders
reduced the duty on pearl and shell but
tons from the McKinley rate of 2
cents per line down to 1 cent per line,
and from 25 per cent ad valorem down
to 15 per cent ad valorem. The result of
the reduction is shown as follows:
IMPORTS Or BUTTONS AND BETTOR FORMS.
8ept. 1 to March 1.
18W-5. 1K3-4. Increase.
Gorman. McKinley. Gorman.
98M.633 160,C06 $444,073'
Under the McKinley tariff from Sept.
1, 1893, to March 1, 1894, a period of
six months, our imports of buttons and
button forms were worth $160,609. Dur
ing the corresponding six months a year
later, under the Gorman tariff, our im
ports of buttons and button forms reach
ed $604,682, the increase for the half
year in this one article of consumption
exceeding $444,000, or at the rate of
$888,000 a year.
The American button factories are be
ing deprived of the manufacture and the
sale of this amount of goods ; the Amer
ican wage earners are being prevented
from earning wages that would have en
abled them to help in making this
amount of goods ; the convicts in Europe
have been correspondingly more busy;
the prisons in Europe have been made
correspondingly more self supporting,
and the foreign dealers have been en
abled to increase their profits correspond
ingly. American people at the 25 per cent
rate of duty contributed $40,000 to the
revenue under the McKinley importa
tions, but they have been forced to pay
$90,000 on the 15 per cent rate for half
a year only, an increa.se at the rate of
$100,000 a year, showing that "the tar
iff is a tax" when fooled with by free
traders.

13 ALSO THE WAY IN.
Theron Nye of Fremont, one of their
oldest citizens, fell down a flight of stairs
at 2 o'clock Friday morning week, break
ing his upper and lower jaw and the
nose, appearances indicating that the
base of the skull was also fractured. It
is not known what prompted him to get
np at that time in the morning without
a light, bnt it is presumed he was walk
ing in his Bleep or may have been hunt
ing for something and miscalculated the
distance to the stairway. He was picked
up unconscious, and although his mind
has cleared up considerably since then,
he is still unable to recall any of the
events which led to the accident. His
condition, tho Herald says, is still quite
serious.
At New York Tuesday morning the
wind blew at seventy-two miles an hour;
houses were shaken, and people roused
from sleep. At Cleveland, a gale was
accompanied by snow. Telegraph wires
were badly prostrated. A blizzard struck
Pittsburg and raged till daylight. Wind
sixty miles at Boston and damage to
many buildings. At Buffalo, a velocity
of seventy-three miles an hour. At
Montreal the worst storm for years. All
through the province of Quebec great
damage has been done by the storm,
which attained a speed of eighty miles an
hour. Along the Atlantic coast, espe
cially Maine, a terrific storm raged,
accompanied by rain. A high tide fol
lowed. Every political party and group, the
socialists included, in Germany, sides
with the Boers and denounces the aggres
sion of England. Emperor William's
act in sending a message to President
Krnger of the South African republic,
congratulating him upon the victory of
the Boers over the armed force led into
the Transvaal by Dr. Jameson, adminis
trator of the British South Africa com
pany, is hailed with enthusiasm through
out Germany. Volunteers are organiz
ing to go to the Transvaal, and among
others there are some American students
who are ready to fight the British if the
if the conflict in South Africa is con
tinued. David J. Brewer of Kansas, justice
U. S. supreme court; Richard H. Alvey
of Maryland, chief justice of the court of
appeals of the District of Columbia;
Andrew D. White of New York, Frederick
R Coudert of New York and Daniel C.
Oilman of Maryland have been appointed
on the Venezuelan boundary commis
sion. They are expected to meet in
Washington as soon as practicable.
Their work will be to examine and col
lect evidence with a view to determining
the true divisional line between Ven
ezuela and British Guiana. The act
makes the commission independent of
the State department and all executive
control.

David City News: Last Sunday night
while services were in progress at the
Catholic church, some one who was no
doubt short on bed clothing, robes, etc.,
made a sneak on the wagons and buggies
present, and took up a select collection
of blankets and other things of like
character, and judging by the number
taken there is no danger of the guilty
one or ones freezing during the winter
for want of bed clothing. It was a nasty,
mean trick, and if the guilty ones could
be caught, they should receive punish
ment accordingly.
Fremont Herald: Sullivan & Co's. new
elevator on the Godfrey farm, east of the
city, was completed and opened for bus
iness last week. Tho first forenoon's
receipts were sixty loads of corn, and the
.total for the day was nearly seven thous
and bnshels, the price being 17 cents.
.They expect to feed about 70,000 bushels
of corn this winter. They are fattening
for the spring market about 15,000 head
of sheep, and they have besides these, in
stock sheep still on the western range,
about 120,000 head, from which they will
select their next year's feeders.
Stanton Picket: It is claimed that the
F. E. & M. V. company has bought forty
acres of land one-half mile east of Dodge
and will move their depot to it in order
to avenge itself against the citizens who
have brought suit against the company
for losses sustained in the recent fire. If
such is the case it will be necessary for
the citizens to pull together and for
farmers to stand by them, and the pres
ent Dodge will be able to stand against
a new site, and permit business men to
hold their trade against denizens of tho
new site, just as Norfolk has done for
twenty years.
Schuyler Quill: The citizens of Lin
wood, Butler county, have forwarded a
voluminous-complaint to the ltoard of
transportation against the Elkhorn Rail
road company. The basis of the com
plaint is that the town of Linwood is
being discriminated against in the mat
ter of hay freights. It charges, in effect
that the towns of Schuyler, Rogers, Wis
ner, and North Bend are given a 5 cent
rate on hay, while the citizens of Lin
wood are charged a rate of Ty, cents.
The date for the hearing has not yet
been set by the board On Friday of
last week while B. F. Freeman was along
the Platte river setting traps he met with
a severe accident. He had an old Colt
revolver in his coat pocket aud when he
stooped down to set a trap tho revolver
fell out, striking on the ice in such a way
as to discbarge the gun. The load tore
one thumb off an entered his leg. The
revolver was a large Colt pattern and in
stead of being loaded with ball he had
shot in for rabbits, hence it was not so
bad. The thumb is gone and that hand
is carried in a sling, while he has a sore
leg, even after the shot are picked out

When Selecting Your Reading Matter
fHOR THE COMING YEAR you will, ao doubt, decide oa securing tho best, especially if the best coats less than
L something inferior, both in quality and quantity. Tie Onaha Bee, always to the front of the newspapers in the
P west, has long been recognised as one of the leading publications in the country. It has dona more, and is now
doing more, toward the upbuilding the great west, than any other paper.
About two years ago its publishers, determined to bring The Weekly Bee into every farmhouse in the west,
especially in its own state and the states immediately adjoining Nebraska, put the price down to S5 Cents per year,
an unheard of figure for a 12-page weekly publication. This price still prevails. Not content with this, the publish
ers of The Bee cast about for some additional first-class publication of national reputation, to oner with The Bee at
a price that would not exceed the figure usually charged for a single weekly paper. Last rear the New lork Tribune,
(Horace Greeley's paper) was secured and this paper was offered with the Weekly Bee for SO Cents per year. A simi
lar arrangement has been made this year. In addition, a similar contract has been made with the Cincinnati inquir
er, a paper that ranks as high among the Democratic publications of this country as the Aew lork Tnbnne does
among the Bepublican newspapers.
To sum up we make the following four offers for this season, confident that they are equalled nowhere, either
in the qnality of matter published, nor in the quantity of good, up-to-date reliable newa
