The total subscriptions to the Law ton fund on Thursday were $93,364. Cut off the tons of congressional speeches that are franked through the Plans are under way for the construc tion of 900 miles of trolley lines in Hawaii. Is consequence of Russian usurpations there is a great exodus of the people of Finland. The British war office is sending every available gun, no matter how ancient, to the front. The Moffatt party, consisting of twenty-five persons, has perished on the Ed monton trail in the Klondike. The English newspapers are making some very caustic remarks against the management of the war with the Boers. It is said that the losses of the Boers np to January 22, are approximately 6,425, including 2,000 casualties during the siege of Ladysmith. To date the British losses are 816 officers and men killed, wounded and captured. Wars are an expensive luxury in more ways than one. Cleveland, Ohio, authorities expect to complete, during the year, a tunnel bringing water to the city from a point five miles out in Lake Erie. Andrew Carnegie has given $50,000 apiece to York, Pa., and East Orange, N. JM for public libraries. An example other monied men of this country might emulate. The minority resolutions to seat and expel Roberta, the Utah polygamist, were defeated, 81 to 244. The majority report to exclnde him were adopted, 268to50. Twelve pounds only is the weight of the new automatic gun under experiment in the United States army. It fires 450 shots a minute, and can be carried by one man. Juntos Robinson, a North Carolina negro, who has returned from Liberia, says the scheme to colonize the southern negroes in that country, is a rank failure and robbery. The municipality of Pasadena, Cali fornia, owns a sixty-two acre grove of English walnuta.L This year it yielded 37,000 pounds of nuts, for which the city received;$3,023.39. The House committee on library has favorably reported the bill appropriating $25,000,000 for a statue to Commodore Perry, the hero of Lake Erie, to be erect ed at Put-in-Bay, Ohio. The Nebraska City News thinks the democrats have been satisfied long enough with the little end of the sack and that they should demand three places on the state ticket this falL The English public see in the Boers accounts of reverses the elements of truth. Parliament was to meet yester day, and the radical and Irish members were preparing for a savage attack upon the administration. St. Paul is having difficulty in secur ing material for an ice palace during the winter carnival, owing to the unseasona ble weather. It would seem that Ne braska is not the only state that has a monopoly on Kay weather in mid-winter. Early Thursday morning Leadville, Colorado, was terrorized by the third of a aeries of dynamite explosions within the city limits, wrecking the handsome residence of Hunter, the millionaire mine owner, and the home of J. C. Richey adjoining. About 800 men armed with Winchester ' rates, reached Frankfort, Kentucky, Thursday. They stacked arms in the yard of the state house. Their declared purpose is to see fair play in regard to admission of those duly elected to the atate legislature. Lieut. Rohanoff, of the Russian navy, predicts in an interview at Chi cago; that war is fast approaching be tween Boaaia and Japan. Both coun tries are pasting work on their navies. He thinks England will back Japan, whale Raaaia will have Germany's sup part, and that all Europe will be in volve!. The American officials, who have been eagaged in aaalring a census of Cuba, report having found in the mountains of the interior tribes of Indians whose ex istence was unknown, and they ran across intelligent white persona who wan unaware that the United States orenimeat had takea control of the stand. It la now proposed by fair-minded awa that the representation in congress, hereafter, be based upon the number of rotes recorded ia each atate, instead of am. the total population This would onpeltke states to aUsar the colored ansa to rote, or cut the repeaasntation frost aoch states to about haV what it tea the school board case at show that too much care eaaBotbeeEercisodbythepeopleiBthe selection of pabae oaViak. and also that ripply houses are aet free from in- ithat an tf1 to the public If members of a school board aot be bribed, neither should of a supply bowse be bribers. IB T "It takes two to BMke a The EngUslx people, along with the queen Evidently, are sick of the Boer war. Btar-Xng lish War. Monday morning's dailies, under date of the 25th, said that the British dead left on the battlefield the day before numbered 1,500. It is believed at Lon don that I this includes the wounded. The Boers also claim that 1502 of the flngliah troops surrendered at Spionkop. From London, January 28, Gen. But ler's dispatch to the war office 'states that Spionkop was abandoned for lack of water, inability to bring artillery there, and the heavy Boer fire. Gen. Buller, in a dispatch dated the 27th, gives details of withdrawal of force to the south of the Tugela. He says it was done without the loss of a man or a pound of stores, and adds this remarkable paragraph: "The fact that the force could with draw from actual touch in some cases the lines were less than 1,000 yards apart with the enemy in the manner it did is I think sufficient evidence of the morals of the troops, and that we were permit ted to withdraw our cumbrous ox and mule transports across the river, eighty five yards broad, with twenty-foot banks and a very swift current unmolested is I think proof that the enemy has been taught to respect our soldiers' fighting powers." We see no good reason why the postal service of country, taken as a unit, could not be made self-sustaining, at least, or bring in something of a revenue. There has for years been great necessity for reform in the line of -what are called public documents. Millions of dollars could be saved by justly decreasing the number of things printed by the govern ment, and the price paid for their trans mission. It is very safe to say that not one ten thousandth part of the books and pamphlets printed is read, and why should the unprofitable and unfair cus tom be kept up? There are other ways of economy in public service than by abolishing what is useful, at the call of those who would enjoy a monopoly in consequence. Let the government be called upon to exercise only such func tions as cannot be performed by the individual, and that without fear or favor. Everything should be done in the interest of the public welfare. The conscience of the nation is reflected, at its best, in the life of its most eminent citizens; those who are called to do the business of the nation in various lines will do well if they comply strictly with the statutes which prescribe the func tions and the limits of their official life. Senator Stewart of Nevada, although what is called a silverite, is not opposed to the government, whether or no. The other day, when one of the senators was talking about the "unauthorized war,' Senator Stewart said: "The legislation increasing the regu lar army to oo,uuu and autnonzing a volunteer force of 35,000 men and three regiments to be organized in the Philip pines was for the express purpose of prosecuting the war and of suppressing the insurrection in the islands. The war, under the authority of Congress, has been carried on for about eleven months, until it is too late to inquire how the United States became involved in it. If the inquiry had been made in February last it might have been perti nent, but now, after my country has been engaged in war under the authori ty of the legislative and executive branches of this government, and after thousands of precious lives have been sacrificed and millions expended under the authority of the war-making power, it is my country's war, and the origin or motive of the war cannot now be ques tioned. The lives sacrificed and the money expended in a war authorized by Congress should preclude any effort on part of patriotic citizens to prove that the war was wicked in its origin." The London Daily Mail says: "The richest and what was hitherto considered the most powerful nation in the world stands today in the humiliating position of seeing its armies beaten back with heavy losses at the hands of two email states. Our ambassadors abroad suffer ignominy, knowing that Dr. Leyds has during the past week been received at semi-official entertainments not only in Paris, but in Berlin. One would have thought that Dr. Leyds' reception by foreign governments was already suffi ciently suggestive. One would have thought the time had oomewhen some attempt should be made to mobilize the fleet and the remaining land forces in order that the world may know that, while bearing our sufferings calmly, we have no intention of subsiding into a second or a third-rate power by allowing foreign intervention of any kind." Mrs. Henbt C. Mosheb, wife of the president of the Cresent iron works of Springfield, Missouri, has organized a novel society, the purpose of which is to check harmful gossip. The pledge taken by each member is that no evil word shall ever be spoken of any woman. The society starts out with a large member ship. There will be no dues and no for mal proceedings at any of the meetings. If they are reasonably successful in this first venture, is it intended that men shall, after a while, be included in the list? Or, is it supposed to be an utter possibility to prevent evil words being spoken of any man? Will not this organization suggest a counter one by the men, in whieh no evil word is ever to be spoken of any man? Why not? But why limit the evil word, and why not say of any man or woman? Taw tendency of the times is to use the postofioe and Um freight train for the carry ingof packages, rather than the express aarries, because of the eaormity of prices of the Utter. When flour is very high in price, people will use more corn meal, potatoes, etc sad thus endeavor to make the situation, kind of saktadjusting. TnQuuMp, Illinois, police, in a run ning fire Sataraaj night, killed two toughs who had on them burglar tools, skeleton keys, dynamite stacks and nitro-glycerine. The third man was! shot and was captured with a broken hifu Tfcemen were all well dressed, had diaaaoads and other jewelry and plenty ottaomtf. :xxx; XXXXXX) A movement is on foot to have con gress pass a law admitting parcels of merchandise to the mail at a very low rate of postage. Among the arguments used is the fact that in Great Britain the postage on parcels is six oenta for the first pound and two cents for each addi tional pound up to eleven pounds, which is the limit, thus making the coat of sending an eleven pound package thirty- six oenta. The postal service of the United States has a deficit now of $9,000,000 a year for operating expenses, and that deficit would be two or three times larger if such a law was enacted, and the people would pay the shortage. It is a scheme of the big department stores of the larger cities to ruin the trade of the country merchants. So says the Lawrence, Kansas, World. Representatives Burkett and Stark of Nebraska called on Admiral Dewey Wednesday and invited him to visit Beatrice, Neb., next Fourth of July, on the occasion of the Chautauqua meet ing. The Nebraska members were most courteously received by the admiral, who assured them that it would afford him great pleasure to accept their invi tation. All additional details will be settled by correspondence and personal conferences between the members and the admiral.. The admiral spoke in ad miring terms of the record made in the war by the Nebraska and western regi ments and expressed a warm desire to make the trip. tHMIIWIIIIimitirlMHl bbttional ts&.
