Mas. Nation's saloon wrecking crusade
is occasion of some pertinent paragraphs
in the March Review of Reviews on the
.subject of American lawlessness, the

for public order. The editor takes the
ground that lawlessness, at the present
time in this country, is "a greater dan

law should be put in enforceable shape
and then enforced, in spite of every
thing." At a .banquet given by the Board of
Trade of Bridgeport, Conn., the night of
February 20, Gen. Joseph II. Wheeler
spoke, his subject being "Patriotism,"
and among other things said: "The

Lincoln, March 2, 1901.
- Between fusion mismanagement and a
serious fire the state ia likely to spend a
good deal of money on the penitentiary.
It will be remembered that the sham
reform officials made their campaign
cry in 1898 that they had "made the pen
itentiary self-supporting." Yet they
asked for and secured from the last leg
islature an appropriation of $30,000 to
help run the institution, and they turn
it over to the republicans with a claim
of over $30,000 deficiency. This condi
tion of affairs was shown up by the
writer during the last campaign.
Another sample of fusion reform is
found in the claim of J. B. Meserve for
$2,000, premium paid on his guaranty
bond. This, in spite of the fact that he
has never explained where he kept the
permanent school fund deposited, and
has never turned over the interest from
this source to the state treasury. And
now an -investigation of the revenue
stamps on his bond shows that the
premium paid was only $1,500, unless
the government was defrauded in the
matter of stamp duties.
By the application of the fifth clause
in the caucus call which provides that
"only republicans of unquestioned loy
alty shall be considered," the caucus has
been a fizzle from the beginning. It
becomes more and more apparent that
nothing can be done until Mr. Thomp
son retires from the race. This situa
tion is so plain that the chairman of the
national committee has written to Mr.
Thompson and wired to several others
that every sacrifice should be made and
new candidates selected to save the
party from disaster. It remains to be
seen whether Mr. Thompson is patriotic
enough to obey this suggestion, which
is being repeated in the fifteen hundred
precincts of Nebraska, or whether he
will maintain the unrepublican position
taken by some of his supporters that
"it must be Thompson or nobody." It
is clear now that should the Lincoln
man's election be forced in the face of
the storm of protests from over the
state, the party will find itself in a sad
plight in the coming campaigns. The
majority in the state is not large enough
to warrant the offending of two hundred
republican newspapers and fifty or a
hundred thousand republican voters.
On this point Vice Chairman Payne of
the national committee has written that
"it ia a thousand times more important
that the state should elect two republi
cans than that some particular individ
ual should be elected." This is a
patriotic sentiment which does not seem
to strike a responsive chord in the heart
of Mr. Thompson.
There are a number of apportionment
bills under consideration, but nothing
definite has been done. It is not likely
that the congressional districts will be
greatly changed, since it is certain that
the state will not lose a representative
under the new congressional apportion
ment bill.
Several towns have put in claims to
cover the expense of smallpox sieges
dnring the past two years, but the fact
that there is smallpox scattered all over
the state at the present time is likely to
prevent the allowance of any of these
claims, inasmuch as it would invite a
hundred similar claims from other lo
calities. Adam Granger.
Mrs. ration's "Omtlaw" Doctrine.
Mrs. Nation holds the view that since
the saloon is illegal it is permissible for
anybody to force his way into it, and not
only to destroy the'alcoholic liquors that
may not legally be sold in Kansas, but
also the furniture and fixtures; to break
mirrors and window-panes, and to inflict
the largest possible amount of damage
upon everything pertaining directly or
indirectly to the carrying on of the bus
iness. Her experience, ss related above,
at various places where she has destroy
ed property with impunity, seems to have
justified her broad assertion that under
the Kansas law, as heretofore interpreted,
property in any way associated with the
conduct of a saloon has no rights that
anybody is bound to respect, and indeed
has no status at all. If the Kansas
judges continue to hold Mrs. Nation and
her Amazonian crusaders free from all
punishment or harm in their work of
destroying saloons with axes, it must
of necessity follow that the courts will
equally protect them when they resort
to the more thorough method of apply
ing the torch. In the eyes of the law,
certainly, there can be no difference be
tween burning a saloon to the ground
and hacking it to pieces with axes. The
people of Kansas have had time to con
sider Mrs. Nation's position carefully,
and tens of thousands of them are in
doming it Many churches have been
used as meeting places for women pre
paring themselves by much exhortation
and prayer to go forth in heroic mood to
wreak vengeance on the saloon keeper
by destroying hk property. It would be
absurd to find any fault whatever with
these determined women. And it would
be a pare waste of emotion to express
any sympathy for the men who keep the
saloons. These gentlemen are well
aware that they are engaged in an illegal
and extra hazardous business, in which
they must take their chances. Bat it is
entirely permissible to criticise the poli
ticians of Kansas, who will neither on
the one hand enforce the law and keep
the women out of scenes of unseemly
violence, nor on the other hand protect
the saloon keepers whose money' they
have been taking. The legislature of
Kansas went so far last month as to
entertain favorably certain bills designed
explicitly to legalize "saloon smashing."

with his parents to Ohio, going then to
Michigan, and at the age of 14 was a res
ident of Wisconsin. In 1876 moved to
Nance county, Nebraska. Snrviving the
deceased are a widow and three children,

On the first page of today's Journal
will be found some particulars of the
state disaster at Lincoln, the burning of
the penitentiary. Various amounts are
given as the probable loss to the State of
Nebraska, reaching as high as $300,000.
It is thought that many improvements
can be made over the old structure, all
for better sanitary condition and safety
of the inmates. There was one life lost,
a convict who went back to a cell, not
his own, and perished. Before the fire, a
systematic search had been made through
the prison, and in one cell waa found a
loaded pistol, cartridges, keys, etc The
two men occupying the cell are said to
be bard cases, and no doubt, if they had
had an opportunity to do mischief, they
would have taken it The old officers,
especially after the election, are reported
to have been very careless.

An interesting review of the condi
tions which make for prosperity in this
favored land of protection and progress
Is given In the report of the treasury
bureau of statistics regarding the com
merce and affairs of the United States
in the closing months of the year
1900 as compared with conditions at
the corresponding date In preceding
ears and comparing prosperity In the
United States with that In other coun
tries. While the whole world is pros
perous, the United States seems to be
especially so. No other nation Is able
to make anything like the showing of
this country.
Our exports show an increase of
$166,331,178 in the ten months ending
with October, 1900, as compared with
the corresponding ten months of 1899,
and the total for the -ten months is
practically double what It was In the
corresponding months of 1894, when
trade and commerce were suffering
from the blight of the free trade tariff
legislation. This of itself shows a re
markable activity in all lines of pro
duction, while the import as well as
the export figures indicate that the ac
tivity In manufacturing lines, and con
sequently the Increased earnings of the
millions engaged in these industries,
must be very great A very considera
ble share of the materials required for
use in manufacturing comes from
abroad as, for Instance, India rub
ber, tin for use in manufacturing tin
plate, hemp, jute, sisal, raw silk, cabi
net and dye woods, chemicals, bides
and skins and certain grades of wool
and cotton and by measuring the
growth In the Importation of these arti
cles some idea of the growth in manu
facturing may be obtained. Protection
enables the United States to greatly in
crease the volume of its purchases from
foreign countries.
The total importation of materials of
the class just named that have been
used In manufacturing during the ten
months ending with October, 1900, Is
1238,237,918 as compared with $214,
396,757 In the corresponding months of
1899 and $127,301,945 In the same
months of 1894. Turning again to the
export side. It Is found that the ex
portation of manufactures alone
amounts In the nine months ending
with September, 1900, to $338,678,243
against $277,502,G49 in the correspond
ing months of 1899 and $145,793,S34
in the same months of 1S95. Thus the
exportation of manufactures has in
creased nearly 25 per cent in one year
and has more than doubled in the four
years from 1896 to 1900. while the im
portation of manufacturers' materials
has also increased at a very rapid rate.
Exports of manufactures of Iron and
steel alone amount to $110,000,000 In
round numbers In the ten months end
ing with October, 1900, against $86,
000,000 in the corresponding month9
of 1899 and $51,000,000 In the corre
sponding months of 1897, thus having
more than doubled In the three years
from 1897 to 1900, or since the passage
of the DIngley tariff law.
Not only have the manufacturer and
the millions dependent upon his indus
try shared In the prosperity of the
year, but those engaged In agriculture
and mining seem to have been equally
prosperous, judging from the record
shown by the figures of our export
commerce. The exportation of agri
cultural products In the ten months
ending with October. 1900. Is In round
terms $700,000,000 as against $625,
000,000 in the same months of 1899,
while the products of the mine, the
forest and the fisheries also show as
Increase in 1900 as compared with the
figures of 1899.
This Increase in the products of In
dustry is especially Interesting In view
of the fact that in many cases It shows
a higher reward for a given quantity
of labor or, In other words, higher
prices received for the article itself aa
well as an Increase In the quantity pro
duced and sold. In cotton, for In
stance, the average export 'price pef
pound In the months of September and
October, the beginning of the new cot
ton year, has been 9.9 cents against
6.7 cents In the same months of the
preceding year, whUe In other agri
cultural productions and In various
lines of manufactures, especially those
of iron and steel and In the products
of the mine, there are Increased prices
per unit of quantity and thus better
earnings for those who produced them.
A comparison of conditions In the
United States with those'ln other coun
tries aa measured by the foreign com
merce Indicates a degree of prosperity
which compares favorably with any
country of the world. Our own ex
ports for the ten months ending with
October show an Increase, aa has al
ready been, noted, of $106,000,000, while
In the exports of the United Kingdom
the increase U tf jaonthjlsJi2.000.
000, and the 1900 figures for Belgium,
France, Spain and Italy show no in
crease in exportations during that part
of the year 1900 whose record Is now
available. In the case of Belgium,,
France, Spain. Italy, Germany and the
United Kingdom the Imports are
greater than the exports, while in our
own case the exports vastly exceed
the Imports, the excess of exports ove?
Imports In the ten months ending with
October being $499,667,936, or a greater
excess than in the corresponding period
of any preceding year and a greater
excess than that of any other country.
ADVANCE IN WAGES.
These Are Preapernaa Days Far Man
aal Lahar.
In almost every railroad station be
tween the Mississippi river and the
Rocky tnouu tains notices have been
posted during the last three months
offering high wages for track hands.
At $2 a day it was impossible to get a
supply of tills cheapest grade of manu
al labor. One reason was that It waa
easy, In Nebraska especially, to make
from $2.50 to $3.50 a day shucking
corn. Many clerks got leave of ab
sence to go -into the cornfields and
work for a few days.
Now the wages of railroad laborers
in that region have risen from $2 to
$2.50, with board, and the chances are
that the figures may go somewhat
higher, for the railroads can get few
men to go into the mountains, where
the work is severe in winter. It Is only
five years since the president of one
of the great western railroads said
"freely In private conversation that the
time was coming within a decade wher
the day laborer, especially the railroad
day laborer, would be getting 90 cents
a day, and would be glad even of that
The great advance in the wages of
day laborers and the mistaken views
of one of the great disorders of labor
in this country serve to emphasize the
fallacy of the assertion that the work
Ingman Is not getting a fair share.
Next to the western farmer, who Is
making from 75 to 100 per cent clear
profit on what he produces, the manual
laborer seems to be about the most
prosperous individual In the land. In
work on western railroads his wages
have gone up fully 100 per cent Few
other callings can show such a record.

"Making a photograph of James Har
per was the most startling experience
of my lifer" says George G. Rockwood,
the New York photographer. "In the
year 1869 it transpired that no good
picture existed of the four Harper
brothers, and it was determined that
they should sit to the same photogra
pher and have a uniform series of pic
tures made. A very successful photo
graph of Fletcher brought them all.
"James Harper was the second to sit
for me, and as he was passing out of
the door of my studio be saw a por

founder of St. Luke's hospital. We en

anything should happen to me, I be
lieve I should like to be taken to St

practiced skill would perhaps be para
mount to even the tender care and love
one gets at home.'
"His words were prophetic. After
declining his warm Invitation for me
to ride with him he left the gallery, I
think, near 2 o'clock In the afternoon.
About 5 o'clock a gentleman rushed
Into the reception room and asked,
'Wa8 James Harper here today?
