The viceroy of India, Lord Canon, telegraphs from Calcutta that there has been no increase of raia and that 22,451,- 000 natives suffering from famine are now receiving relief. The main steam pipe at the Glucose works, Marahalltown, Iowa, burst Sun day night, literally cooking Henry Krock, the flesh dropping from his bones. He was dead when picked up. The corporation of Glasgow, Scotland, has accepted the bid of a New York company for electric feeders for the Glasgow tramway at 151,000, or 10,000 below the lowest British offer. T. G. Fish, president of the Fish Bros.' Manufacturing company, died at his home in Clinton, Iowa, Dec. 31, aged 66 years. He was widely known as founder of the famous Fish Bros.' wagons. During 1899, 1,631 barrels, or 4J&S8 bushels of apples were shipped from Brownville, this state. That's a pretty good record. And yet there are people who still contend that Nebraska can't raise apples. The Hastings Tribune calls attention to the fact that politicians who imagine they have a pull, are working "tooth and toe nail" to cinch the legislative nomina tion, and that the fact that two U. 8. senators are to elect in 1901 may have something to do with it. The entire tonnage of the world in ships, it is said, amounts to 27,67328 tons, of which the United Kingdom and her colonies amounts to 13,98808; tak ing off the colonies, she still has left 12,826,924. tons. The United State comes second with 2,46567 tons; Ger many third with 2,45334. Norway is said to be next in order. A dispatch under date of January 1 from Bensberg, Cape Colony, says that Gen. French has completely defeated the Boers and occupied Colesburg. That he continued to keep the Boers on the move and pressed them closely Saturday and Sunday, giving them no time to tarry. Flank operations were successful and were conducted strictly in accordance 'with previously arranged plans. The Boers were knocked completely out, and finding their line of retreat threatened fled leaving Colesberg in Gen. French's hands. SPEAKiKa of the loss to the British in the Transvaal, the First Maine heavy artillery lost 75 per cent of its men in seven minutes, in the assault on Peters burg, and yet brought off its guns. At Antietam the First Texas lost 82 per cent during the day's fighting. On July 2, 1863, at Gettysburg, the First Minne sota volunteers charged and out of 262 oCcers and men, lost 75 killed and 140 wounded, leaving only 47 men unharmed, and yet brought off its colors. When England gets down to such war as that, even the Boers may think war is not a picnic. St Louis Star. Quite a flurry was caused in Europe Thursday by a rumor that under the secret stipulations of a treaty between Germany and England, the former is to take Portugal's Asiatic colonies and the territory north of the Zambesi, and Eng land, Delegea bay. Russian and French ramors that all neutral powers will inter vene if England takes effective measures for closing the back door against the entrance of contraband of war into the Transvaal are colored by the general belief that there is a secret agreement with Germany relating to any emergency which may arise on the Edkw Bsptist church, dedicated a year ago at Stromsburg, Polk coaaty, burned to the ground about midnight 8anday might The fire resulted from the ex plosion of ascetylene gas, which blew oat the foundation and wrecked the win slows.

The editor of the Outlook is not only an able writer but conscientious in his conviction of duty. We call especial at tention to the last sentence of this article as' truth concentrated: "Gov. Poynter has- appointed Judge W. Y. Allen to fill the senatorial office made vacant' by the death of Senator Hayward. We favored the appointment of a republican as decent respect for the dead and for the friends of the dead. We favored this course ss the best poli- afor the fusion party. Allen and tehcock would both have been elected by the next legislature, by general con sent and to their greater honor than is possible now. The only proper repre sentation of the people's will as to senator is now the present legislature, and if it had been called to meet in special session it would have elected a republican. Mr. Reese wss. the man chosen by the republicans for the high est ofloe in the state at the last election and if he bad been appointed the repub licans could not have made any reason able complaint He would probably have done no good at Washington and the chances are that Allen will be able to do nothing of consequence in the present senate. The exhibition of greed for office which has been made in this affair has done more harm to the fusion cause in Nebraska than Allen will be able to do good by this appointment Washington City. (Special correspondence.) It seems that there is to bo a change in the po litical fight in congress if the plans of the democrats can be carried out The republicans of the bouse got the minor ity side in an embarrassing position by forcing them to discuss the money ques tion. Jast at the time when Bryan was trying to avoid the silver question and work up some other issue upon which to go before the country, the democrats in congress were compelled to stand up and defend free coinage. Now it aDDears to a close observer that the house democrats are going to let the senators wrestle with the money question, while they jump into the arena with the anti-expansion issue. It is be lieved that during January all manner of resolutions will be offered criticising the administration and declaring for the abandonment of the Philippines. By a flood of oratory on this question the democrats hope to divert the attention of the country from the silver issue, and at the same time so delay the business of the session that very little will be accomplished. In the meantime it is the clear inten tion of the democratic senators to talk and bushwhack, gerrymander and delay on the currency bill, to the damage of all other business. It was on this ac count that they were so anxious to have Allen appointed. They proposed to use the windy and obstreperous Nebraska senator as a central figure in the game of delsy. He will be utilized to "bnck the line" every time play is called. This also explains why Bryan was so anxious to have Allen appointed. The all winter tilt on the money ques tion will be useful to Allen for other reasons. He is already committed on the Philippines question and will be glad to avoid that and cling to the silver debate, where his old speeches cannot be used against him. The appointment by the national com mittee of the new bureau of literature for the coming campaign cannot but be gratifying to republicans of the western states, ss it is made up entirely of wes tern men. Perry Heath, the head of the bureau, was a western newspaper man, and was connected with a Nebraska paper for over ten years. Charley Dawes, is an old Nebrsskan, and Senator 8houp, the third man on this most im portant committee, is an Idaho man. From the first move it is plain that the west is to have muoh attention in the coming campaign, and that Nebraska will be especially well looked after. The Nebraska members of the present congress sre showing great activity in looking after the interests of their con stituents. Besides, Thurston, Mercer and Burkett are each on important com mittees, and their corps of clerks and secretaries are kept busy. The fusion members from Nebraska are taking it much easier, and each of them expects to make a private saving from the fund allowed for secretary hire. The commercial interests of this country are already feeling the effects of commercial expansion in Cubs, Porto Bico and the Philippines. The exports from this country to the islands have more than doubled in value in two years, and it is believed that for the present fiscal year ending next July, there will be another doubling up. There has been a large increase in the exports to the Philippines, and this does not include the goods and supplies shipped there for army and navy use. The shipments from the Philippines to the United States amounted to more in 1899 than they did in 1897, showing that the insurrection is not preventing the .commercial business of the islands from being carried on. F. A. Hakbisok. Fbee trade means just two things, the bringing of foreign goods into this conn try to compete with American made goods to the detriment of the American arner, and then later free soup where he can get something to eat -This is the whole thing in a nut shell, aad it cannot lie proven otherwise by past history.

Four ex plosive bombs, a few firsarsas and 500 pounds of ammunition were discovered in a house in the center of Manila this morning while the police were seeking Recarte, the insurgent leader, who was said to have come to Manila ia the hope of effecting an outbreak yesterday by taking advantage of the mobilisation of the American troops at General Law- ton's funeral. Today it developed that the plot in cluded the throwing of bombs among the foreign consuls attending the cere mony in order to bring about .interna tional complications. These explosives, it seems, were to have been thrown from the Escoltss, high buildings, but the avoidance of the Escoltss by the fnneral procession spoiled the plot. The police, it is thought bad been prepared for the plot, by a rumor circu lated widely among the natives, that Aguinaldo was in Manila aad would personally lead the outbreak. The American authorities, having been ad vised of what was brewing, prepared for all contingencies. Captain Morrison, who commands the troops in the most turbulent district of the city, says he does not believe an actual uprising will ever occur, as the natives lack the resolution to take the first steps in a movement that would entail fighting at close quarters with the American troops. Some idea of Nebraska's resources ss an agricultural and stock state may be gained when we consider that last year she raised 6V315.000 bushels of rye, 51, 961,200 of wheat 54,411,900 of oats, 180, 611,944 of corn and that there were 7,863,786,715 hesd of cattle, 18,455,177 of hogs, 3,754359 of sheep and 103,03 of horses and mules. Besides these the dairying interest of the state is one of considerable magnitude and continually growing. The poultry business is a source of great profit to the farmers of the state. Cutting and marketing the bay crop of the Platte and Elkhorn val leys is a big industry in itself and brings in a good revenue, as it furnishes work for scores of men during the early fall and the winter months. Then there is the beet sugar industry which promises before long to become one of the leading products of the state, besides numerous smaller industries scattered all over the state. When one remembers that it is only twenty-five years since the real development of the state began it is cer tainly a remarkable record and we do not believe can be equaled by any other state. Nebraska will one day be one of the richest states in the Union because she has the soil, the climate and the people to make her so. Schuyler Sun. "Do American men and women realize that in five cities of our country alone there were during the last school term over sixteen thousand children between the ages of eight and fourteen taken out of the public schools because their ner vous systems were wrecked, and their minds were incspable of going on any further in the infernal cramming system which exists today in our schools?" in quires Edward Bok in the January Ladies' Home Journal. "And these six teen thousand helpless little wrecks,'' he continues, ."are simply the children we know about Conservative medical men who have given their lives to the study of children place the number whose health is shattered by over-study at more than fifty thousand each year. It is putting the truth mildly to state that, of all American institutions, that which deals with the public education of our children is at once the most faulty, the most unintelligent and the most cruel.'' tPpUttial itcal.

A man's ideal is not wounded when a woman fails in wordly wisdom; but if in grace, in tact in sentiment, in delicacy, in kindness she should be found wanting, he receives an inward hurt. Gail Ham ilton. The first step toward greatness, says the proverb, is to be honest;, but the proverb fails to state the case strong enough. Honesty is not only "the first step toward greatness,'' it is greatness itself. Citizens of Columbus were advised to exercise some care in twitting David O'Brien about that charmed "rain weed," for fear that he might in his wrath, send them a second flood, as he claimed he had sent a then recent one.
