All Against France.
Outside of France, denunciation of
the verdict in tho Dreyfus case is al
most universal. The Iiondon Times
says: "Wo do not hesitate to pronounce
it "the greatest and most appalling
prostitution of justice the world has
witnessed in modern times. All the
outrageous scandals which marked the
course of tho trial palo into insignifi
cance beside tho crowning scandal of
tho verdict."
The National Zeitung (German):
"Even the worst enemy of Franco could
not havo wished what happened."
Tho judges aro compared to Judas,
Pilate and Jeffries, ana papers 01 wi
nationalities are fallingMn with the idea
pf boycotting the exhibition of 1900.
It would seem as though it is high
timo for the French nation to look a
little more closely into what they are
pleased to call their army, at least into
tho stratum of officials in the same that
havo been responsible for this thing.
Whenever it is thought necessary to
convict innocent men of a heinous crime
for tho sole purpose of Baving guilty
ones from punishment for tho same, a
vorv radical change is needed in the in
terest of our common humanity.
At Least Be Fair.
Those who are criticising President
McKinley for prosecuting tho war in the
Philippines and demanding that he
withdraw our troops from tho islands
show their ignorance of the situation.
His oath of office makes it his duty to
prosecute the war, and ho would be snb
ject to impeachment if ho hauled down
the Hag and withdrew our troops from
American territory before rebels in arms.
It is not necessary for him to have any
policy regarding tho future government
or '-reconstruction" of tho islands, but it
is incumbent on him to suppress the
insurrection. Congress, when it meets,
can. if it sees fit, order the withdrawal
of our troops and the surrenderor the J
islands to the natives, but Mr. McKinley
has no more right to do so, without the
authority of Congress, than Mr. Lincoln
had to let tho Union be broken up with
out making Jin effort to prevent it. In

Horace Greeley onco was discussing
m a ireneral company tho faults and
needs of his own nation. "What this
country needs," said ue, in rns piping
voice and Yankee accent, "is a real good
licking!" An Englishman present
promptly said with unmistakable Eng
lish accent: "Quite right, Mr. Greeley,
quite right. Tho country needs a 'lick
ing.' " But Mr. Greeley, without glanc
ing in tho Englishman's direction or
seeming to pay any attention to the in
terruption, went on in the same squeaky
tone: "But the trouble is there's no
nation thnt can give it to us." Argonaut

their greeting again on their return.
Mr. Fitzpatrick expressed great pride in
the fame of the soldiers and their deeds
of courage and dating. It was a speech
worthy of the man and the occasion.
Miss Pauline Elias delivered a reci
tation, and, as she always does, pleased
the crowd with her splendid elocution.
Snpt. Williams made" the address of
the day, giving expression to the custom
of nations of honoring, by triumphal
arches their heroes returning from the
wars; thus showing recognition of their
patriotism and their gallantry. We
welcome you, not as you went away, but
as now having well-defined views and
ideas of the duties of soldiers; enlarged
views of your country and its greatness;
a richer experience from which to draw
in the affairs of civil life, because Peace
has its demands upon us, no less im
perative than war. You have been
learning something of what all must
learn, obedience to constituted author
ity "the powers that b aro ordained of
God." We have enemio iu civil life to
overcome, enemies that require of us the
best Qualities of our naturo, all the
patriotism, gallantry and courage that
we can summon. If tho President of
ths United States were here, he would
doubtless welcome you home as good
patriotic soldiers who have nobly done
your duty, and deserve a lasting place
in the history of your country. Again
we welcome you to your families, your
kindred, to the city and the state.

Obedience of Orders.
A naval commander in the reign of
Queen Anne was ordered to cruise with
a squudrou within certain limits on the
coast of Spain. Haviug received infor
mation that a Spanish fleet was in Vigo
beyond his limits, he resolved to risk
his personal responsibility for the good
of his country. He accordingly attacked
and defeated tho Spanish fleet with un
common gallantry. When he joined the
admiral under whom he served, he was
ordered under arrest, and was asked,
if he did not know that by the arti
cles of war he was liable to be shot for
disobedience of orders.
He replied with great composure
that he was very sensible that he was,
but added, "The man who is afraid to
risk his life in any way when the good
of his country requires it is unworthy
of a command in her majesty's service. "

The afternoon was taken up in good
part with the banquet at an improvised
bowery hall near the northeast corner
of tho park, where Company K and a
large number of their invited guests
were furnished with a splendid repast.
Col. Whitmoyer was president, Carl
Kramer acted as tonstmaster, Rev. Hayes
asking divine blcBsing, Rev. Mickel (in
tho absence and illness of Judge Post)
responding to the toast Patriotism, and
Major Kilian to the toast the First Ne
braska regiment, the pride of Nebraska.
Tho major's speech was listened to with
intense interest by the large crowd
present, and we wish we could give it,
just as delivered. Evidently unstudied,
it was descriptivo, more or less, of their
experiences in the organization of their
company, and on the field of battle; a
tribute to those who fell in the line of
duty, and thanks to the friends of 'the
regiment for the hearty reception.
The soldiers seemed to regard this as
the last speech on the program, and
arose from the tables to depart, not,
however, without Rev. Pulis pronounc
ing the benediction. i
There were four others on the pro
gram: Co. K, pride of Columbus, by Rev.
Pulis (in the absence of Capt. Moore);
Our Guests, by W. M. Cornelius; Our
Ladies, by G. W. Phillips; Our Flag, by

The cake-walk at the Bowery elicited
considerable interest, a number taking
part, the cake going as a prize to Miss

"Yes, we all rejoice at the home
coming of the boys who are free from
the battles of war. But the dear boys

down the arms of a soldier life to be
come fighters in the field of labor and
usefulness." So says the David City
Press. The glamours of war are very
different from the solid, substantial
comforts of peace at home, the difference
between the sting of the bee and its
gathered honey.

sketch from the Bellwood Gazette is a
well-known former resident of this
county: "Fred Hengler fell off a hay
Btack Tuesday afternoon while engaged
stacking hay. At first it was thought
he was seriously hurt; but when medical
aid arrived it was discovered that noth
ing serious would occur from the fall.
On the same day Frank Loomis also
threw a somerset from a hay stack and
in the course of his flight to mother
earth came within a nick of stabbing
Menzo Loomis with a bay fork. Frank
was considerably shaken up, but is able

Last Wednesday near David City a
two and a half year old child of L. H.
Hinds was accidentally drowned. A
dispatch gives the following: "The child
in some way crawled into the large water
tank and got down and was not missed
by tho family until a traveller drove
in from the road to water his horses and
saw the body in the bottom of the tank.
It could not have been in the water any
length of time, for tho body was still
warm when recovered. Mrs. Hinds is in
the east on a visit. The same family
lost a child of about the same age' some
five or six years ago by accidental poisoning."

attracting most, and the soldiers gave
evidence of the work that they had done
in that line, being as good as any we
have ever seen anywhere. It is the

secretary,. for giving nearly his whole
time and attention for a few days to
preparation for the reception.
The numerous committees for Wed
nesday last deserve the highest com
mendation for the very good work done
by them.
A FAIR SAMPLE !

ing rate. In this (Platte)
county alone, for eight months

1899, the debt has been reduc
ed over $164,000, Following

Theodore Brugger has left with us
as fine specimens of Nebraska-grown
apples as we have seen in a long while.
In 1889, his father set out an orchard of
a hundred trees, from which three years
ago they had as many as a hundred
bushels of apples, sixty of the trees
bearing. They have been bearing, more
or less, a number of yearn. In 1898,
they set out 250 apple trees, beside
cherry trees, a considerable number. It
is very convenient to have apples of
your own raising all the year round, as
they have done, keeping winter apples
over till the June apples came. Mr.
Brugger has been successful in the rais
ing of hogs, and believes in variety of
feed, fresh water and alfalfa range.

destinations in a mannor that will be
