THE STRIKE.
There is wide difference of opinion

for the strike which feraaore than a
week has aeatreyed the livestock mar.
ket aad advanced the prtoe of meat to
the prohibitive point, saomld rest apoa
the packers or anon the anions.
There can be no difference of opinion.
however, m to who an the chief saff -erers.
The aim I who had obliga
tions to meet at this time will he
sqaeeaed oat of bnetaeas beoaaee he
ooald tad no bayer for his cattle.
The farmer who was depending apoa
the proceeds from his hogs to meet a
Jalv note at the bank will be forced
to renew or perhaps to sabmit to f ore
cloeere proceedings Conenmers every
where are either payiag a big price
for meat or living on a vegetarian
diet. The strikers are depriving their
ft-nfti. of the necessaries of life, aad
the merchanta' sale of those necemar
ies is restricted. It remains to the
packers alone to gain n remeaeratioa
for the forced idleness of their capi
tal. They can make good by selling
their supine ataa advanced price.
Many remedies for this intolerable sit-
natioa have been saggested. Bat the
most abort-sighted aad fooiah of all is
the saggestion that people become
vegetarians and show the packers that
they can live withoat the prodact of
the packiag boase.
The stock railing iadastry in toe
United States is second to none in im
portaace. There are few farmers in
Nebraska who wlU not testify that
they have lifted the mortgage from
the farm or boaght more farms with
the money paid them for cattle and
hogs. And these farmers have been
able to market their cattle aad hogs
at a good price, simply beoaaee the
American neoDle are meat enters.
What is needed is not a generation
of vegetarians bat a larger aad stead
ier market for livestock. And in order
to have that market, the packiag in
dustry of ..this coantry mast he so
shaped that the whims of Ive 'or six
kings of the so-called "beef treat" or
the iaaaae demaade of two or three
1 ambitloas aatoa leaders cannot imperii
the interests of every stock raiser
in the land and force every consam
er of meat to pay an anrighteoas
tribate.
There are two sare methods of
remedy.
One is an economic remedv and
I the other is in the direction of greater
I government control.
The first is preferable. let tne
small batchers get to work again.
The large packers have taaght them
lessons of economy in the atilizatioa
of waste aad the meaafantare of by
prodaote. They may not be able at
first to accomplish tho saviagsof the
larger establishments, bat they ooald
certainly sell below the prices that
have been ia vogae for the past two
years and make a good prolt. With
a small packing boase ia every city
of the size of Oolambas in the stock
raisiag states, there woald be no more
meat famias aad there woald be a
steady livetsock market.
The great lesson of this strike is
that bas.taaght the need of the small
batcher.' Aad if he retams. let the
pabUo protect his baslaem by seeing
to it that the big packers are not per
mited by means of rebates in freight
rates to crowd him oat.
If. however, the small batcher is not
attracted back iato basiaess by the
opportaaity for protl, the pablic's la
tere ia the packiag hoases shoald be
protected by government oontrol of
each a character that whenever the
packiag hoases for any reason should
close, n government commission in
the character of receivers ooald step
iaaad operate them aatil thediB
cutties ooald be adjasted.
The public nave large rights ia the
meat iadastry. If economlo laws will
not work to protect those rights then
east have statute laws to that end.
FUSION IN NEBRASKA.
There are a few populists left in
Nebraska, and T. H. Tibbies is one of
That he Is recognised as one is
pretty well dernonstrated by the fact
that he has been nominated for vice
president on the populist ticket.
Mr. Tibbies U editor of n paper, and
this is what he has to say about fas-

And no doubt that faefoa is done in

it was done everywhere else before it

bus been the connecting link between
the populist nnd democratic parties
ia Nebraska, and until the national
democratic convention there were in
dioatioas that he could hold them to

STAND PAT.
The three largest railroads ia N e
braska have filed protests with the
8te Aaseesment Board against their
assessment in the various counties.
The Union Pacific tax agnate
charge that reel estate has been assess
ed nt 14 per 'cent of its valae, livestock
at 12 per cent of its valae, merehan
dise at 8 per cent and implements at
6 per oeat, while their property has
been ssinmil at more than -W per cent
of its valae.
The Barliagton complains that
while It was assessed at 20 per cent of
its value in liMSand was raised by the
Board 80 per oeat ia 1904. other pro

per cent of its valae, has been raised

took ample time to arrive as nearly

equalizing the assessed valae of lands

aad will be satisfactory to the people
of the state. :No change of values made

therefore be looked upon as fair or

A CRYING NEED.

gage the pablio attention immediately
is the condition of the walk through

to stay oa the walk whoa there to ao

rainy weather whioh we have had this
summer, it to necessary for people go
ing through the park to take the gram
rather thna walk through three inches
of water in an attempt to keep oa the
walk. The council has already made
aa appropriation to construct half of
this walk out of ceseeat, and n bid on
the work has been received. Now

work and oomplete the city park as a

of. Ae it to now, it lacks consider

aad it has bean the plan to construct
half of it this year aad the other
half next year. It would seem that
aa amount like fS50 is not out of the
reach of the city of Oolambas, even

WHY ICE STAYS ON TOP.

rtvlae ValvcraaJ Law.
It la one of the uxust extraordinary
things In this extraordinary world,
writes Henry Martyu Hurt lu the Out
look, that water should be the sole ex
ception to the otherwise universal law
that all cooling bodies coutract and
therefore increase lu density.
Water contracts as its temperature
falls and therefore becomes heavier
and sinks until it reaches o0 degrees.
At this temperature water is the heav
iest. This is the point of its maximum
density. From this point It begins to
expand. Therefore lu winter, although
the surface may be freezing at a tem
perature of 32 degrees, the water at
the bottom of the pool is six or seven
degrees warmer.
Suppose that water, like everything
else, bad gone on contracting as It
cooled until it reached the freezing
point The heaviest water would have
sunk to the lowest place and there be
come ice. Although it is true that
eight pints of water become nine pints
of Ice, and therefore Icebergs float,
showing above the surface an eighth
of their bulk, still bad the water when
at the bottom turned Into ice the
stones would have locked it lu their
Interstices and held It there, and before
the winter was over the whole pool
would become solid Ice, and all the poor
flah would be entombed lu clear, beau
tiful crystal.
JAPAN'S GOD OF WAR.
ataealeaaa. Straws. Say. la a Laver
C tne Fvaeefal Dare.
Hachlman, the god of war in Japan,
strange to say, loves a dove, a bird
symbolical In the west, of peace and
not of war. Go to any temple or shrine
where Hachlman Is worshiped, and
rou will find a great many doves coo
lag either on the' roof of the temple or
on the ground below. The tablet on
which the name of the god is inscribed
begins with the idlograph of "Hacbl,"
the two strokes of which are intended
to picture a pair of doves, the female
on the right and the mule on the left.
Doves are Hacblman's favorite birds,
messengers by which be sends good
tidings of peace and love.
Hachlman never fights merely to sa
tiate his thirst for blood. He fights
battles for peace. He never makes
aacrlgces of lives so that be may glory
over the conquered. He is a great en
emy of tyrants and oppressors. He is
ever ready to help those who are op
pressed and persecuted. He fights
wars of Justice. He wishes to see Jus
tice done on all sides. His banners
bear Inscriptions conveying the thought
of righteousness and Justice.
Miserable will be the fate of any
who venture to violate the peace and
welfare of the world, for Hachlman In
his. righteous wrath will crush down
such a one under his mighty feet

Climate affects the Inhabitants of
the eea Just as it does those of the
bond. As arctic kind plants cannot
Sourish at the equator, so In the Arc
tic and Antarctic oceans marine plants
ere found which are unable to survive
la warm water. Among the most re
markable of these cold water plants
are the Umwarlaceae. a kind of sea
weeds which sometiuies attain a gi
gantic else, exceeding In length the
losgrat climbing plants of the tropical
forests and developing huge stems like
the trunks of trees. Investigations
have shown that these plants flourish
hi the coldest waters of the polar seas
and that they never advance farther
from their frigid homes than to the
limits of "summer temperature" in the
ocean. The genial warmth destroys
them. Just as a polar blast shrivels the
flowers of n tropical garden.
