It is estimated that 40,000 to 50,000 young men from the rural districts annually go to New York City alone, 10,000 to Philadelphia, 20,000 toChicago, Tint Hastings Republican of March 20 has a lengthy editorial in support of Charles H. Dietrich as a candidate for governor on the republican ticket, pre dicting his nomination and election. Tn $25,000,000, borrowed by Russia from New Yorkers, is to be spent in this country for the purchase of products of American labor. This is another sample of what our political opponents call "fictitious prosperity."

Mas. saoartwo sooooaoooooooocxx: a Great Britain sold its new war loan, bearing 21 percent interest, at 98 per cent of face value ; the United States refunds its entire bonded indebtedness at par with 2 per cent bonds'. That is just one of the many good things accomplished by -the republican administration and congress. New York U now the money center and New York is still in America. Fremont Tribune. As to Puerto lico. The case is a very simple one. The president made his recommendation last December to give Puerto Rico's products free access to our markets because he believed it was right and best, consider ing the condition of that island, and not because it was required by the constitu tion. He has not changed that view. If that were the sole principle involved, we are authorized to say, he would insist upon it though he stood alone. Since his recommendation, however, another principle has been inroked involving the most vital question connected with the whole matter of our new territorial pos sessions. The president believes that congress has the constitutional power to levy duties upon the products of the new territorial acquisitions. This is denied, especially by democrats. If they can prevent its assertion; still more, if they can have such action by congress as denies its existence, then they can go to the country with the argument that the administration has, by its policy, acquired new populations unfitted for statehood yet claiming the rights of full citizenship and the right to inundate our markets with their prod ucts free from customs duty, thus im pairing the value of our own labor by competion with the cheapest labor in the world. The question, therefore, is not between a principle and an expedience. It is a question between two principles, one of them fundamental. It is between assert ing one of them in the interest of Puerto Rico alone, or the other in the interest of the whole country now and hereafter. In the latter case any departure from the right constitutional principle cannot be rectified and the damage done will be irremediable. Not a single step, once taken, can be retraced. In the former case, it will work no injury to the inter ests of Puerto Rico. That island is today without revenue and the people are suffering. It has no government except a military one. It will be some time before any machinery for raising revenue can be put in opera tion. Meantime, Puerto Rico must be taken care of and enabled as rapidly as possible to furnish the revenues for its own expenses. By the bill which the house has passed it is relieved from every other form of tax except this 15 per cent of the existing tariff laid upon its prod ucts coming into the United States and the products of the United States enter ing Puerto Rican ports. Every dollar of this is turned back to its own use. The measure is for revenue, and only tempo rary at that, and can be followed by free trade as soon as the great principle which recognizes the power of congress to legislate for these new territories is vindicated. The necessity of this inter pretation of the constitution, after the debate in the house, is paramount, and is considered important to our success in the Philippines. The principle of free trade recommend ed for Puerto Rico, and which the presi dent evidently hopes in due time to see prevail, has, therefore, yielded only for the time being to a more important prin ciple. The necessity of the case and the honest difference of opinion which led to the new issue are frankly recognized. The president appreciates that he must to a large extent rely upon his own party in the administration of public affairs. He is bound to weigh against any per sonal triumph the demoralization and disorganization of his party in the legis lative branch of the government, upon which he must depend. No greater calamity could happen than to have his party majority fall down on the very threshold of their consideration of these island questions. Under these circum stances, the president did what he thought was right, and we believe that time will vindicate the wisdom of his course. New York Mail and Express. A Phaatoat Party. These southern pops who are implor ing the Nebraska sham pop organiza tion to keep the party together by send ing a delegation to the Cincinnati middle-of-the-road convention and pre serve "harmony" and all that Bort of thing do not understand the situation. The southern pop is superfluous since the party was euchered by Windy Allen at St. Lonis in 9C The sooner they disappear from the horizon the better will the Aliens and the Bryans be pleased. They have outlived their use fulness and the regular democratic or ganization is in the saddle in every southern state with votes to burn. In Nebraska" it is different. The Ne braska pop is a handy thing to have in the Bryanite house. It gives him a chance to carry a state with eight elec toral votes. So long as the Nebraska pop is nourished and cherished at the fusion hearthstone he is invaluable. He is the only sort of pop left on earth who is of any use to the democracy. He cannot be dispensed with and he will not be allowed to go to the farce at Cincinnati. He will be patted on the back and promised offices galore until after the first Tuesday in November. After that he can "go to the devil" along with the rest of the pops and he will, figuratively speaking, so far as his future influence as a fusionist is concerned. In short the populist organization is defunct except in this state. It has outlived its usefulness as a democratic tender. Even .that once stupendous chap, the Fanaaa pop, is functus officio, as the time has gone by that he can do anything for Bryan. Lincoln Journal. BssaiMis GauiAGHER, junior member of the Paxton-Gallagher firm, Omaha, died in that city Friday night last, the result of a aeries of paralytic strokes. He had not been in active business since his first stroke, five years ago. He was 59 yearsold, and was born near Ottumwa, Iowa. Nkws from St. Johns, N. F reports that ice floes in the Exploits river have swept away the railway bridge, which cost $100,000. The express and mail trains on the way to that city have been unable to proceed, mad all have returned to Port Aux Bacon. ixxxxxx; It remained for the democratic con vention of Platte county, the home of statesmen and the center of political wisdom, the Tammany hall of Nebraska democracy, to apotheosize W. J. Bryan in a manner befitting the man and his mission. During the campaign of 96, when the country was in woe and want, when Coxey armies and soup houses were everywhere, there were trusting souls who regarded him as a messiah who had been sent for the relief of the Great Common People, of whom there were so many. But Platte conn ty democrats are not content to let it rest at that At their convention last week, while under the hypnotic spell of that fervent states man, Judge Hensley, they passed a reso lution referring to him as "W. J. Bryan, the greatest man of this or any other age" greater than Grant, Lincoln, Jeff erson, Jackson, Washington, Franklin, Gladstone, Frederick the Great, Shakes peare, Bacon, Ignatius Donnelly, Savon arola, the Apostle Paul greater even than Jesus Christ, the man of Galilee. How far the Platte county convention will go in eulogistic superlatives next year and the next, no man can imagine. Wait and see. Fremont Tribune. One by one and in pairs they are re turning to the republican fold. Isaac N. Stevens, of Colorado, who was vice chairman of the national silver com mittee of 1896, announces that he is again a republican. The day after the account of Stevens' return appeared the candidate for lieutenant governor of Colorado on the silver republican ticket in the latest election also declared that he was back again among the republi cans. About the same time came the news that J. D. Vaughn, who was chair man of the state convention which nom inated Colorado's silver republican ticket at that time, bad also come back into the old fold. With the influence of these and other prominent men Bryanism will receive a severe back-set in Colora do this fall. What's the matter with the pops now? Only a short time ago they wanted more money and inflated currency. The recent passsge of the financial bill secures the increase in the circulation and the government is secured against loss and the people are secured by the government against possible loss. It looks as though the pops were angry because they cannot have a chance to let Uncle Sam down. Newman Grove Herald. Ed. Gwtnn, an electrician of Delaware, Ohio, recently signed his acceptance of a franchise granted by the city council giving him all legal rights to public highways for the establishment of a system of hot water heating for the entire city, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. The plant will be completed by next fall, at which time the use of old time fuel in Delaware will be relegated to the rear rank. A bill has passed congress for the coinage of the three-cent piece, the old having been discontinued by a law of September 25, 1899, because it was often mistaken for a dime. The new coin is to be made of nickel the size of the bronze cent, except thicker, with a hole in the center one-fourth of an inch in diameter. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Times says: ''Fresh alarm is spreading abroad from South Russia with regard to further suspicious mili tary movements. Russian troops are being concentrated at Odessa. Perhaps, however, it is only in timely preparation for the grand maneuvers.'' After three months' work by an American superintendent 100,000 chil dren are attending school in Cuba. Even the native agitators, says the St. Lonis Globe-Democrat, are compelled to admit that American educational methods are surprisingly effective in bringing about prompt results. umtiiiiHMiimiiiiiiimimmMiMiiitMH i f! iars is- i MIWinilUlMIHIIItrHIHIIirUUllWIIWlUrai Our notes this week begin with The Journal of March 12, 1879, and close with that of Jnly 30, 1879.

It seems that human curiosity is never to be satisfied. Sustenance and health are reckoned at too cheap a rate, and instead of food, pure and simple, human ingenuity has sought out many devices to interfere with the steady, normal flow of the animal spirits, and the gentle workings of the innocent pleasures of life, the I wholesomeness of the food plants, eta, and has gone into by and forbidden paths for unnatural excitements, result ing always in unnatural deadening of the sensibilities. And it has got so that it is much a matter of degree only the so-called prohibitionist directing his denunciation against the use of intoxi cating liquor and may be at the same time reveling in the false delights of tobacco fumes. The lady with her tea or coffee, while she deplores, as well she may, the desperate coudition of those who have given themselves over to the treacherous promises of opintn. There comes in the news of tho day this para graph, from a Philadelphia paper: "The police of' a small Pennsylvania city were much mystified by finding boys fast asleep and in a semi conscious condition stowed in vacant houses, sheds and brickyards. It was finally discovered that the boys had gotten into this con dition by inhaling the fumes of gasoline, and some of theui have really become gasoline drunkards." What next! Mnryville, Missouri, is where it hap pened this time. The principal of tho school undertook to do police work rather than submit to having the school disturbed by two boys whistling loudly in the yard. The professor was assaulted with bricks by two boys named Casey, aged 19 and 16 years; one of the missiles struck over the eye cutting a long gosh, and another cut off half of his left ear. Assault with intent to kill is the legal charge against the boys. They were probably boys who had been left to their own devices for a number of years, and who, whether in school or out of it, had never learned to think to advantage to themselves. Prevention is always better than punishment. Boys are not natur ally villains, but are generally easily led into devious ways by their elderti. Tt does' require "an effort und a strong one to save them, but they are worth all it costs and ever so much more. Every self-respecting community will give special attention to tho proper employ ment of its boys. Bring ns your job work. We will endeavor to please you.
