Great Britain sold its new war loan, bearing 21 percent

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

59 yearsold, and was born near Ottumwa,
Iowa.
Nkws from St. Johns, N. F reports

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.

What next now! 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.

knows just how to steer a vessel to
bring it safely through the shoals
and out into the open. Just so the
Encyclopaedia Britannica is the one
absolutely reliable guide for the
voyage of life. One cannot go
wrong if its teachings are followed.
It tells the mistakes men have made;
how others havesucceededandwhy.
An intelligent man gets good from
the experiences of others and steers
clear of the rocks they ran against.
