The Review of Reviews for February
contains an article which, in the compass
of two pages, makes perhaps the most
telling and effective exposure of the
Tecent Turkish massacres that has yet
been attempted in the English language.
The article is based upon full accounts
of the massacres, written on the ground
by trustworthy and intelligent persons
French, English, American, Turk, Kurd,
and Armenian-who were eye-witnesses
of the terrible scenes. The article esti
mates the number of killed in tbe massa
cres thus far at f0,000, the property des
troyed at $10,000,000, and the number of
starving survivors at 350,000.
The legal luminary of the Lincoln
Journal has unearthed another great
axiom of law. This time it is that "all
other branches of government exist
merely that we may have courts." The
whole machinery of government in all its
ramifications and details, so we are told,
has been constructed and supported
solely that we may submit our disputes
to judges and juries. What a beautiful
political poilosophy! Is it any wonder
that jndges leeoiue imbued with an
exaggerated sense of their own self-importance
when there are such journalistic
sycophants ready to exalt them above

The editor of the Schuyler Sun, late
superintendent of public infraction for
Colfax count-, has for years been keep
ing himself thoroughly well versed in all
school matters. The following from his
pen will be of interest to every Nebras
kan who pays taxes or believes in the
public school system: "The permanent
school fund of the state is something of
which every loyal Nebraskan should be
proud. It is a vast fund for common
school purpose of which only the interest
can be used and has been derived mostly
from lands sold, set originally aside for
this purpose. The state has now $3,000,
000 of this fund invested in bonds and
has $561,000 yet, which, if it can be. done,
will be invested in -the state warrants.
The investments in bonds from the per
manent school fund have been increased
$475,000 since state Treasurer Bartley
came.into office, which speaks well for
his management
Aloxzo TnoMPsoN, a resident of Fnl
lerton, is one of the Nebraska men who
is of some account among his fellow
creatures. We learn that he had sold a
large amount of land, taking interest
bearing securities for deferred payments.
This fall, a number of these payments
were due, and Mr. Thompson, who is a
wealthy man, pondered long on the prob
lem of how farmers could provide a liv
ing for their families and pay the inter
est on their mortgages from the sale of
corn at 12 cents a bushel. He concluded
that it was impossible foj them to do so,
anless they had outside help. How to
secure this was. the next question. He
probably reasoned that, being a man of
means, he could invest in the corn, store
- it, and wait for better prices. We do
not know how he reasoned, but we are
told the fact is that he sent a circular to
all his debtors telling them that he would
allow them 25 cents a bushel for all their
surplus corn, crediting the same on their
interest due. The result is that the
farmers have mostly paid up their inter
est, and Mr. Thompson has stored a large
sJBoant of corn. A man well posted in
the history of Nebraska has said tliat
com has (within any five years' space you
might mention) reached as high a price
as 35 cents a bushel, and if Mr. Thomp
son realises a fair price for his corn, as
be probably will, tbe transaction will
prove to him that it pays to bear one
othar's bmrdssa.

Mr. L. C Humphrey, whose home is in
Lincoln, writes us as follows:
"It seems to be a well established fact
that nature has specially favored Ne
braska by giving her to an unequalled
extent, all the conditions necessary for
the successful culture of sugar beets.
The recently invented process for reduc
ing to crude sugar, seems to make it
possible to establish small sugar plants
in many localities, close to the beet
raiser, thus saving hauling and freight
charges. The next important step seems
to be to provide a central refinery under
a supervision that cannot be controlled
by the sugar trust.
If there is any fit subject for a trial of
the much talked of reform 'the state
ownership of monopolies,' it seems to me
this monopoly presents all the conditions
to induce such a trial, and I want to
urge the discussion of the question of
the state of Nebraska establishing a
sugar refinery, at which all Nebraska
grown sugar shall be refined at or near
cost Counties and perhapssmaller sub
divisions should also be authorized to
establish and operate the crude sugar
plants. A system of this kind would
enable the beet producer to get tho full
results of his labors. Look at the exist
ing conditions.
The desirable sugar beet land in the
country limited to two or three states
and Nebraska at the head of the list. So
that when our sugar industry is fully
developed, the native sugar will be so
small a part of the entire amount con
sumed, that it can not materially reduce
the price, and overstocking the market
impossible. Every person in our own
state is a sugar consumer.
Sugar is in the control of a giant trust
in which very few, if any, of our citizens
have any interest, and hence will not be
hurt by a blow at the trust.
As sugar beets can be raised in all
parts of the state, all of our people will
be benefitted and none harmed by any
measure that will advance the beet sugar
interest. I believe that tho beet sugar
industry established in our state on 6uch
a basis as here suggested, would give it
such an impetus that business of every
kind would revivo and our 6tato enter
upon such a caireer of prosperity as no
state in the world has ever enjoyed.
When nature has so lavishly supplied all
the conditions for sugar beet raising, it
seems to me that we are chumps if wo do
not put forth eery possible effort to get
the fullest benefits of our conditions,
even though we have to step a little out
side of old ideas of business and govern
ment. Let the question be discussed
and if necessary, make it a campaign
issue to return a legislature favorable to
the free refininjr of sugar. Yours for
Nebraska."
It is always best to consult those who
have made a practical test of anything.
"Prove all things, hold fast that which
is good," is just as wholesome practice in
the agricultural line as in any other.
The following, from the 1'elle Fourche
(S. D.), Times, is entirely appropriate
just now when tho seed dealers are
endeavoring to givo the Kafiir corn an
extra push. We believe, however, that
it would be folly for Nebraska farmers to
discard our common corn and venture
on this product. First, try a littlo of it
and see how it goes: "The question of
Kaffir corn is being pretty thoroughly
discussed over the state, and in connec
tion the experience of a man who gave it
several years trial will undoubtedly be
of interest. B. P. Hoover, of Gettysbu rg
(formerly a Sully county farmer) tried it
for five years on his farm near Fairbanks,
and was convinced that it is a good thing
for a country that is subject to long
periods of drouth. He states that one of
its peculiarities is that the plant is prac
tically at a standstill during u dry period,
making no perceptibly growth, but when
a rain comes the growth of the plant is
rapid and continues to maturity unless
prevented by another drouth period. A
few showers through the growing ieriod
are sufficient to secure a good crop. Even
in the years of tho most severe drouth
there have always been showers enongh
to bring Kaffir corn to maturity. He
places an estimated yield of forty to
fifty bushels of threshed seed to the
acre, and considers tho seed fully as fat
tening for stock as Indian corn. All
kinds of stock cat it readily and grow fat
upon it. Whilo the plant has a heavy
foliage, he does not consider it of any
special value as a fodder crop, except as
it might make a good silo product."
The Art Amateur for February has for
one of its color plates a charming Amer
ican landscape, "On the Mohawk: Noon,"
by Edward Gay, A. N. A. The other
color plate is "Sprays of Violets," by
Patty Thnm. While simplo in execution,
both are very attractive, and the student
will find the suggestions given in the
magazine for copying them in oil, water
colors, and pastel, thoroughly practical.
In the additional eight pages of supple
ment are working designs for the decor
ation of china, wood-carving, and for
general painting and embroidery.
Pearl Battoa aad Revenue.
In 1803 we imported 13,057,643 lines
of pearl buttons. In 1895 we imported
18,537,049 lines. Americans, under the
Gorman tariff, were deprived of the
work that could have been utilized in
making 5, 500, 000 lines of pearl buttons.
The amount of duty collected ou foreign
pearl buttons iu 1803 was $395,245. In
1895 it was $241, 193. By the Gorman
law the American government lost
$150,000 of revenue, while American la
bor lost the work of making 5,500,000
lines of buttons. Who derived any bene
fit from this species of "tariff reform?"
Not our government, not our workers,
but foreign manufacturers and foreign
labor.

I have no hesitation iu declaring that

ENGLAND'S TBfUifFH.
BENEFITS SHE GETS FROM OUR POL
ICY OF FREE TRADE.
Eaormoaa Iacreaae Ia tbe Valae of Im
ports For the First Year of the Gonaaa
Tariff Law Farmers and Manufacturers
Alike Suffer Facts to Ponder.
A special cable, published in The
American Economist, gives the total
value of tho exports of woolen goods
from Bradford up to Deo. 31. 1895, the
first complete year of our experience in
actual free trade iu wool. The result
confirmed what every protectionist an
ticipated and proclaimed. Our free trade
was of more benefit to English than to
American manufacturers. Bradford
shipped us woolen goods worth 5,701,
243. This was an increase of 3,478,
649 over and above the annual ship
ments during the fnll McKinley tariff
period from 1891 to 1894. American
free trade in wool benefited Bradford to
the extent of an additional f 17,000,000
in a single year.
The annual returns of the British
board of trade for 1895 were made pub
lic in London Jan. 8. The total exports
of wool, of woolen tissues, of worsted
tissues, of woolen and worsted yarns
from all ports in the United Kingdom
for the full year of 1895 were promptly
jabled us. They appear in the following
'able with similar reports from the
United Kingdom for the four previous
years:
Our experiment with free frade'm
wool for one year has enabled the Eng
lish manufacturers of yarns, woolens
and worsteds to sell more than four
times as much of their goods as they did
in 1894 and 150 per cent more than
their average annual sales during the
entire protection period from 1891 to
1894 inclusive. So much for the boon
of free raw material to our woolen man-
nfacturers.
Now as to wool. Tbe United King
dom sent us in 1895 over 150 per cent
more English, foreign and colonial wool
than in 1894, the increase in values be
ing $14,000,000. Compared with the
entire McKinley protection period, 1891
to 1894 inclusive, thia increased value
of wool sent here last year was almost
$11,000,000 that amount more money
taken away from American farmers,
while our manufacturers lost trade worth
$19,000,000 additional.
Never within 30 years have we im
ported into the United States from all
countries as much wool as was sent us
from the United Kingdom alone last
year, and we have yet to learn the value
of our wool imports that were shipped
directly to this country from Australia
and South America. Then we must take
cognizance of the shrinkage in the price
of wool as compared with the McKinley
period that our farmers did sell before
we can arrive at any correct idea of the
entire losses' inflicted pet American
sheep farmers by one year's policy of
Democratic free trade, which, it was in
tended, should be a robbery of the many
farmers.for the benefit of the few man
ufacturers. The Democratic scheme was
partly successful. It has robbed the
farmers, but it has failed to be of any
benefit to the manufacturers. It has rob
bed them too.
The United Kingdom shipped to this
country last year more woolen tissues
than in 1891 and 1893 combined, and
more than in the three years of 1892,
1893 and 1894 combined, more than
twice the quantity shipped in 1891 or
1892, three times as much as in 1893
and considerably more than four times
as much as in 1894.
As to worsted tissues, the United
Kingdom 6ent us last year almost at
much as in 1891 and 1892 combined,
more than as much as in 1892 and 1898,
and almost four times as much as in
1894. Of jams she sent us 50 per cent
more than in all four McKinley tariff
years.
We have to go back to 1878 before we
find that the United Kingdom made us
such large shipments of her woolen man
ufactures. In 1890 the output of our do
mestic woolen factories and our imports
of foreign woolen goods together were
worth a total of $380,000,000. Last year
the United' Kingdom sent us woolens
worth $32,000,000. To this we must add
the imports from France and Germany,
which will probably aggregate $30,000,
000 for tkeyear, the owajbjnjd ship.

aged $20,000,000 a year for ten years
past. This will give us a total of $60,
000,000 worth of foreign woolens im
ported under the first year of freo trade
in wool. It must have reduced the out
put of our owu factories last year' be
low their output of $338,000,000 when
the census was taken in 1 889. If not,
then there must be some very- large
stocks of woolen goods unsold, either in
the hands of our manufacturers, of the
importers or of the wholesale and retail
trade.
Not only this. Thero was an average
advance of 7 per cent in the price of
wool last year, while there was less than
1 per cent of advance in the price of
woolen goods. If our woolen manufac
turers have not had experience enough
with free raw material, then they will
never get it. Of last year's American
wool clip there were 102,000,000 pounds
unsold in dealers' hands on Jan. 1, 1896.
The value of the unsold woolen goods it
is impossible to arrive at. Bat it is in
finitely more than the demand of our
people, whoso purchasing power has
been so greatly restricted siuco 1893.
"" WHY POTATOES ARE CHEAP.
Low Tariff on Tobacco Makes Farmers
Grow More Tubers.
The low valco at which potatoes are
sailing this year is due to tho larger area
of land planted to that crop, because cf
the smaller area planted to tobacco, as
farmers found the price paid for tobacco
unremunerativo under tho existing low
tariff. In tho November crop report of
tho department of agriculture Secretary
Morton said :
"New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa states
of large acreage have all yields of more
than 100 bushels per acre, some of them
greatly in excess of that figure. The gen
eral average for quality is 94.8. The
states of largo yield named above are
also amonc those in which tho quality
is high. In three of them it is rated
above 100."
So as to note the effect of the de
creased tobacco area planted in three of
these states of "large acreage" and "of
large yield," as well as in Massachu
setts, which Secretary Morton did not
include, wo give tho decrease in the to
bacco area of each, their average yield
of potatoes and the average quality of
their potato crop :
Decrease In Average

Per cent. Bushels. Quality.
New York 25 122 103
Pennsylvania 27 111 do
Wisconsin 48 107 101
Massachusetts IS 133 08
In these four states the average yield
of potatoes was 118 bushels per acre and
the average quality was 100 that is a
perfect crop. All of these states were to
bacco growing states, and their tobacco
area was reduced, while their acreage
planted to potatoes was increased.- The
result was that the rich tobacco lands
gavo enormous yields of potatoes of ex?
cellent quality. It would bo better for
iarmers wno grow potatoes mat more
land should again be used in growing
tobacco. This can bo assured by restor
ing the McKinley tariff on tobacco leaf.
How Farmers Feel.
Free wool is a dismal failura It has
had a fair trial, though its advocates
still insist that inoro time is needed to
demonstrate that free wool and protect
ed woolens are the best policy. But if the
experiment is tried mucli longer there
won't be many sheep left to care what
is dona American Agriculturist.
Why the Bother, Thenr
Secretary Carlisle says that "no sur
plus revenue, however' large, eould ex
tricate us from our present difficulties or
give assurance of safety in the future."
Why on earth, then, was there so much
fuss and bother about that "tariff for
revenue only?"
The Real Reason.
The tariff law was to be repealed, not
because our country had not prospered
and our industries had not increased and
multiplied almost beyond the dreams of
its trainers, but because it was Repub
lican. Bellamy Storer, M. C.

CHINESE JUGGLERS.
torn of
the Straas aad Startlla Feats
That They Perform.
Chinese jugglers and Indian fakirs
have pretty much the same "stock in
trade." Here is an account of somo
tricks performed by a Chinese:
When the conjurer asked the specta
tors what they wauted to see, some one
called for a pumpkin.
"A pumpkin. " answered the conjur
er; "that is impossible. Pumpkins are
out of season."
However, he was onlv talking, for
presently he took a pumpkin seed and
planted it iu tho earth. Then, having
made his little son, 4 or 5 years old, lie
down, ho thrust a knife into his throat.
The blood poured out into a vessel, and
with it tho man moistened the spot
Where the seed had been planted.
Next he covered the corpse with a
cloth and placed a wooden bell over the
seed. In a few moments a sprout was
seen rising from the soiL It grew and
grew and burst into flower. The flower
fell, the pumpkin showed itself and in
creased in size with extraordinary ra
pidity.
As soon as it was ripe the man picked
it from tho stalk, showed it to the pub
lic and took up a collection, after
which, of course, he' lifted the cloth
and found the boy perfectly unharmed.
Tho second feat, by a different per
former, was even more startling. A
peach was called for by one of the spec
tators. "It is March," 6aid the magician.
"The land is still icebound. Peaches
are not to be obtained now except in
paradise."
"Oh, well," answered the spectators,
''you are a sorcerer and ought to bt
able to bring a peach down from heav
en." The conjurer grumbled, but finally
consented to see what he could da He
began by weaving a roll of ribbon,
which he cast into the air. It took at
once tho shape of a ladder, which went
up to a tremendous height On it he
placed a child, and the little fellow ran
up the rungs like a monkey. Up, up he
went till he vanished in the clouds.
Some moments passed, then a peach
dropped from the sky. The magician
picked it up, cut it into slices and of
fered it to the bystanders. It was a real
peach.
Then a horrible thing happened. The
head. of tho child dropped out of the
sky and was followed by the trunk and
then the legs. With tears in his eyes the
man picked them up and placed them
in a box. But after much show of grief
and after tho sympathetic spectators had
taken up a collection for his benefit he
opened the box and said, "Come forth,
my child, and thank these kind gentle
men. ' ' At the word out leaped the child.,

When Selecting Your Reading Matter
FR THE COMING YEAR, yon will, bo doubt, decide oa securing the best, especially ir the beat cost leas taaii
something inferior, both in quality aad quantity. The Omaha Bee, always to the front of the newspapers ia the
west, baa long been recognized as one of the leading publications in the country. It has doae more,' aad is bow
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 imavediately adjoining Nebraska, put the price down to 3 Cents per year,
an unheard of figure for a 12-page weekly publication This price still prevails. Not content with this, tbe publish
ers of The Bee cast about for some additional first-class publication of national reputation, to offer with The Bee at
a price that would not exceed the figure usually charged for a single weekly paper. Last year the New York Tribune,
(Horace Greeley's paper) was secured and this paper was offered with the Weekly Bee for 90 Cents per year. A simi
lar arrangement has been made this year. In addition, a similar contract has been made with the Cincinnati Enquir
er, a paper that ranks as high among the Democratic publications of this country as the New York Tribune does
among the Republican newspapers.
To sum up wo make tho following four offers for this season, confident that they are equalled nowhere, either
in the quality of matter published, nor in the quantity of good, up-to-date reliable news.
