TnosE who have been opposing the war policy of the administration with reference to the Philippines have not been able to get any consolation from Admiral Dewey, as they expected. There is a story in circulation that Admiral Dewey is about to be married to the widow of the late General Hazen, a sister of John R. McLean, the demo cratic nominoo.for governor or Ohio. What is anti-expansionism? The Atlanta Constitution, a rock-ribbed southern democratic paper, defines it as "a vicious repudiation of the right of our troops to defend themselves and the flag." Admiral Dewey, at his own instance, has been formally detached from the Olympia. For some months to come it is supposed that most of his time will bo taken in the deliberations of the, Philip pine commission. M. C. Keith, is a Nebraska name very familiar to the older settlors. He was one of the most extensive stock raisers of the early days. He died at North Platte Friday, his estate estimated at upwards of.$l,000,000.

About two weeks ago he suffered a fall in his own yard, striking his head against a stone walk and suffering a rather painful bruise. It is thought that this may have injured him more than thought for at the time. As tbe days go by, it is seen on all bands that the republicans made no ustake when they nominated M. B. Reese for supreme judge. It was an act in line with the best the republican party has ever done in Nebraska or elsewhere. It at once put the opposi tion on the defence of their candidate a a nan, as a citizen, as an official, as a judge, and so busy will they be kept in defence that they will have no time for a aflrmative campaign. The indica tions now are that scores of democrats, disgaslud with the ex-governor's record as a professed reformer of acknowledged abases, and thoroughly convinced of the iasiBcerity of his political professions, will Tote for Reese for supreme judge.

The failure of Governor Holcomb to malic a proper settlement with State Treasurer Bartley iu 1893, and the ac ceptance of a worthless bond, whereby the state lost half a million dollars, is a matter of record that will not soon be forgotten by the people of Nebraska. That Holcomb was to blame for this loss the record clearly shows, his own halting and confused evidence given in the bond trial being the best proof. The public mind needs only to be re freshed. Holcomb was elected gov ernor in the fall of 1894. Bartley had served two years as treasurer and there was a suspicion tliat his accounts were in lad shape. The governor-elect was warned by Rosewater and others that the treasurer wasa defaulter and that a very careful accounting should be had, to protect the state. Iu spite of this warning, and in spite of the law, the new governor plainly entered into a deal with Bartley. After a long private consultation he accepted a new bond upon which most of tho old and already accountable bondsmen qualified for fabulous sums. No at tempt was made to examine into the real worth of the bond. One of the bondsmen was the presi dent of a bank that held over 200,000 of state money. The bank was not a depository and the deposit was unlaw ful. Governor Holcomb knew this aud yet he accepted this bank president as a bondsman, qualifying in the sum of $200,000 "over and above all debts and liabilities." The public knew then and knows now that the deposit was unlaw ful, and that the bondsman was not worth anything like the sum mentioned. The acceptance of the straw bond was bad enough, but the worst part of the deal was iu the pretended settlement with the treasurer. The transcript of Holconib's evidence in the Omaha trial is the best proof , and it is accessible to alL According to this testimony, Holcomb first held a private consultation with Bartley, and then they entered the treasurer's office, where they remained about two hours. The governor says he looked over a ledger or some such book in which there were some accounts. He is not sure what book or what accounts. Then Bartley produced a cigar box containing some slips of paper, repre senting what should have been about 400,000 in cash. He also produced some $50,000 in cosh. Tho law required it all to be iu cash, but, according to Holcoiub's testimony, "the law was a farce and a sham." This testimony is a matter of record. The governor did not examine the slips of paper closely. He admitted that ho did not know sure whether they were genuine. He knew that the one bank which was not a legal deposi tory was represented in the cigar box by a slip calling for over $200,000. The story of the "settlement" is best told in the exact words of the record. The case was heard at Omaha in Feb ruary, 1898. Governor Holcomb was on the stand, and the following extract is from pages 617 to G23 of the record, bill of exceptions: Question. I ask what he was chargeable with? Answer. $956,000 or 1958,000, if I re member rightly; that included the money in suspended banks. Q. i understand. There was about $47,000 only in cash A. In tbe treasury vaults; either that or $57,090. Q. There was about $341,000 that was tied, up in suspended banks, was there not; A. Yes, sir; I think so. Q. That would leave about $718,000 in loose money? A. In that neighborhood; I was think ing it was about fifteen thousand; I may not nave tne exact ngures. Q. I will ask you again what it was he brought these papers teat you call certifi cates of deposit out in? A. Well, as I remember, it was a little box. Q. Cigar box? A. Something of that shape. Q. Of the balance of this, outside of the $47,000 he produced none of it in cash or if it was $57,000, you may say it may be? A. No, sir; no different from what I said. Here followed a few questions as tc what Holcomb had testified to on a former occasion, and the examination continued: Q. He opened this box that was like a cigar box; did he show you these papers he had? A. I do not remember that it had any cover. S. And then took out papers that he ed checks and certificates of deposit, did he? A. He took out mostly certificates of deposit. There may have been a few checks. Q. Have you a list of these? A. Xo. sir. Here followed some questions covering the same ground, and the examination concluded as follows: Q. And then he brought out a box that looked like a cigar box, from which he took a lot of papers that he called certio rates of deposit, amounting from $440,000 to $449,000? A. I do not know whether he called them certificates of depost or not; they were certificates of deposit mostly. There may have been some bank checks. Q. He showed you the papers? A. He showed me the certificates of lenoslt. Q. You looked them over and took no list of them? A. Xo, sir, I took no list of them. Q. Took no memorandum of them? A. O. 1 tVllr nn mMnravnilniii a them. O. And you turned them back to him and he put them back in the cigar box and wen off with them. It that right? do is to whip the B. REESE. A. He put them in the vault. Q. Did you sec him put them in the vault? A. I will not say positively that I did. Q. And that was the end of the exami nation? A. Yes, that was the end of It. The man who gave this weak and halting testimony who accepted a worthless bond who made an illegal settlement with a defaulting official who declared the law of the state to be "a farce and a sham," and by his fail ure to enforce it caused the state to lose half a million -dollars, is now a candi date for a place on the supreme bench. The people will not be deceived the second time. The record is open for their investigation. They will decide to place a jurist on the bench. The professional politician with the unsav ory record will not be given further op portunity. THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS. Hob. BC B. Reese. Candidate For Justice ef the Supreme Court. Judge M. B. Reese has been a resi dent of Nebraska 23 years. He is a na tive of Illinois, having been born in Macoupin county in 1839. He received a common school education and being desirous of further culture attended a seminary for two years, paying his own expenses. During that period he de veloped the spirit of independence and self-reliance characteristic of all men who attain eminence. His father was a farmer and the son followed the same occupation until he was 24 years old. Meanwhile Mr. Reese had married and settled down, but an accident occurred which disabled bis arm for life. Mr. Reese then commenced the study of law. Shortly after the breaking out of the war he enlisted, but when he came to undergo the physical examina tion necessary, much to his chagrin, he was rejected because of the injury re ferred to. He then again applied him self to the study of law and was admit ted to practice in March. 1865. He practiced in Osceola, la., until 1871, when he came to Nebraska. He bar lived in Plattsmouth and Wahoo and now in Lincoln. Judge Reese was elected a member of the state constitutional convention in 1875 and assisted in framing our pres ent constitution. In the following year he was chosen for state senator by the Republicans of his district, but he de clined the nomination. In the fall of 1870 he was elected district attorney of the then Fourth judicial district and was re-elected in 1878 and again in 1889, practically without opposition. In November, 1882, Mr. Reese re signed his position, lacking two months of holding it six years. In the fall of 1883 he was nominated for the position of supreme judge and was elected, re maining on tbe bench for six years. About six years ago Judge Reese was appointed dean of 'the law department of the State University of Nebraska, which position he still holds. For UalTerslty Reseats. Dr. W. B. Ely was born in Boston in 1842. His parents died while he was quite young. He began the study of music at an early age and taught music in tho female seminary at Canandaigua, N. Y., several years also in the female seminary at Rome, Ga. He commenced studying medicine at Rome, Ga., aud entered the college of medicine at tbe University of Michigan in 1870, graduated in 1878, practiced medicine in New York until 1889, when he re moved to Aiusworth, Neb., where he has resided ever since. Dr. Ely was a candidate for state senator in tne Four teenth district in 1896, on the Republi can ticket, and cut a majority of 1,000 down to 250. He is considered one of the brightest and best physicians in northwest Nebraska, having a very large practice iu Brown and surround ing counties. He is a good citizen and highly esteemed by all. Edmund G. McGilton, nominee for regent of the State university, was born in Wisconsin 40 years ago. When he was 13 year old his father moved on a farm and from then on his boyhood and youth was that of a farmer's son. He attended the State University of Wis consin, graduating therefrom in 188$, and afterward tbe law department of the same institution, from which he graduated in 1885. In 1898 he came to Omaha and engaged in ths practice of law and has practiced his profession there ever since, and has attained a position in the estimation of his fellow jurists which can be placed second to that of but few lawyers in the state. The author of "In His Steps," the famous religious book, of which over three million copies have now been sold, has been induced to answer, in an arti cle which he has sent to The Ladies' Home Journal, the question which un consciously comes to the mind after reading his book: "Is this plan practica ble in our present daily life?" Mr. Sheldon does not evade the question, but answers it in a direct and vigorous manner, and tells exactly what he be lieves would be tbe effect of his plan upon modern business methods and present-day social life. Ralph J. Pcgblet was born in Pern, Illinois, came to Nebraska in 1885, grad uated at High school at Genoa, finished his academical work at Gates college. Assisted his father on farm for two years, and took a business course at Fremont. Studied law in office for a time and then went to Lincoln law college, and while there the call for volunteers was made. He enlisted in Co. K, First Nebraska National Guards, was mustered into the U. S. service, took part in the capture of Manila and other engagements in tne insurrection of the Filippinos. The Judicial Vominets ' The nominees for judges of the Sixth j 'district, made by the republican con vention, held Monday at Columbus, are both men well fitted for the positions they seek. Andrew R. Oleson, of Fremont, is a young attorney who has in many a hard fought legal contest demonstrated his rkrtfocotAnul ifi1itv Ha ifi n fOful 11 Hf. yer. with a keen sense of justice and equity and would prove an acceptable judge. His office holding has been con- fined to u teim as county attorney in Cuming county, where he showed his personal popularity anu mgu sianuing i by overcoming a large democratic ma jority. W. T. Thompson, of Central City, is a man of the highest standing, both at tbe bar and before tho public as a citi zen. Of excellent habits and instincts, cultured, reliable and safe, he is an ideal candidate. He 6at in the last session of the state legislature as a member of the lower bouse from Merrick county. He was an acknowledj. il leader in that body, occupying tho chairmanship of the Finance committee. There he proved anew his solid worth aud gained the highest respect of political friend and foe. These two candidates deserve the heartiest support of the public. Fre mont Tribune. Development of the Iron Trade. The vast development of the iron in dustry of the United States in the last twenty years is set forth by tbe Spring field Republican in the following table showing the production of pig iron in tons and the imports and exports of manufactured iron in value: Year. Production. Imports. Exports. 1890-4 4,2J,229 S59.700.0U0 19,300.000 ISM O.wM.tfTC 42.31O.G0O 17.120.000 1890-4 8.200.XO 3tf.OUO.000 28,520,000 1895 9.416.S08 23,048,515 S2.OCO.000 1896 8.633,127 25.S.18.1U3 41.160.877 18U7 9.652.680 16,094.557 57,497,878 1898 11.77S.PS4 12.626.431 70,406,885 1899 H.WO.ttO 12,088,239 93,715,951 Twenty years ago, with mountains of iron ore and whole counties of coal, our' imports of manufactured iron amounted to 340,000,000 more than our exports and last year our exports amounted to $80,000,000 more than our imports, making a change of $120,000,000. Grad ually the resources of our great country are being developed and already we are in the markets of the world with manu factured iron and taking a leading place. The press, and public generally, of the district has received with favor tho nomination of the republican judicial convention. The strength of the ticket and the capabilities of the two candi dates are universally acknowledged. A. R. Oleson of Fremont is an attorney of ability and is held in high esteem by members of the bar. W. T. Thompson of this city is the peer of any nttorney in the district. None will question his qualifications or fitness for the place. During the recent session of tho legisla ture he was the acknowledged leader of the hard working, business element of the house and by his diligence, conser vatism and wise leadership acquired a state reputation of the most flattering character. His legislative record com bined with his high standing among members of the bar brought him the present nomination entirely unsolicited on his part. Naturally Merrick county is strongly interested in Mr. Thompson's candidacy and will give him a handsome majority. It will be no political test in this county, as some of Mr. Thompson's warmest supporters for the judgeship are men opposed to the republican par ty, but who appreciate his fitness and are desirous of seeing a Merrick county man for once seated upon the district bench. Central City Nonpareil. "Vert long will be the way, very hard the hills to climb with Slippery Si Hol comb weighing down the popocratic band wagon in Nebraska." These pa thetic words from a part of an editorial that appeared in the Papillion Times shortly before the late convention of the allied forces of reform. They were the spontaneous utterance of n man who has long been recognized as one of the foremost fighters in the serried ranks of popocracy. They were spoken before the party lash had been swung by the bosses over the heads of those who would dissent from ring rule. Howard is si lent now, because Bryan demands it. But, is Silas Holcomb any less slippery than when those lines were written? If he was dishonest then, is it likely that he is honest now, or will be by and by? State Journal. Coii. Nicholas Ttbweek of Salt Lake City is an optimist of the first-class. In talking to the New York Times he ven tured the statement that if present con ditions kept up for ten years America will own all the gold in the world. "More men are employed in the mines today than ever before, although silver is worth about 60 cents an ounce. The price has appreciated slightly, and this condition has been brought about large ly by the enhanced values of copper and lead. Three years ago lead sold at 3 cents a pound. Now it is worth $425 per 100 pounds. There has been no in crease in freight rates, so the manufac turer gets the benefit of the advance." Denver News, O. E. Steinbaugh of Humphrey, is the republican candidate for sheriff. The republicans believe in honoring the worthy young men of the party, by plac ing them among the standard bearers, and thus making them responsible somewhat for the actions of the party. The republican party recognizes no office-holding class, recognizes no calling of citizens from whose number candi dates for office must come. He is a good citizen and a republican is sufficient He may be a mechanic, a farmer, a busi ness man or a professional man, all the same, any man is just as good as anoth er, if he behaves himself. Mr. Stein baugh is a good mechanic, an excellent blacksmith, and a man who behaves himself as he ought Give him your vote for sheriff, and you will not regret it. He is a plain, fair, honest young man, and will appreciate your help. m Gkjt. Schwax's column, consisting of the Thirteenth infantry, a battery of the Fourteenth, two troops of cavalry.

Yon can see how it works by looking at extremes. There are multitudes of young girls learning music many of whom will doubtless be good singers or good instrumentalists, some of them eminently such, and per haps one in a thousand show extraordi nary aptitnde; may be one in ten thou sand like Fraulein Ternina, who is at present tbe best paid Wagnerian soprano in Germany, which means the best paid of all singers. She bps refused the highest salary ever offered a soprano at a German opera bouse 911,000 a year. If she had never appreciated the worth of music in any degree, however, she never would or could have attained to what she has, and right here appears one of the chief aids that communities and parents can give the youth of the land. They can so provide, by courses of study, etc., that latent faculties can be cultivated, susceptibilities developed, effort for improvement so encouraged that the best possible attainments can be made. By the way, just in tbe line of music in Columbus, there has been abundant proof of what we are writing, ana mere are now cases or botn young boys and girls that are being watched with growing interest. For all fresh cuts or wounds, in either tbe human subject or in animals, as a dressing, BALLARD'S SNOW LIN IMENT is excellent; while for sores on working horses, especially if slow to heal, or suppurating, its healing quali ties are unequaled.
