What has become of the Nebraska Government Ownership Club ? Taft continues to get the delegates. He will probably be nominated by acclamation. Alabama will not be unanimous for Bryan at the Denver convention. One of the Johnson delegates was elected at the primaries. ' It is more creditable to Mr. Bryan to hare lost in Pennsylvania with the Gufty crowd against him, than to have won with its support Mae Woods, Senator Piatt's alleged wife, got what was coming to her. She has been, arrested for perjury in New York and is now in jail awaiting trial. Johnson polled 40 per cent of the vote at the primary election in Ala bama. This isvjust 30 per cent more than the Bryan managers said he would get Henry Beiber and John Young, two Pittsburg bank looters, intimate friends of Senator Penrose and Colonel Gufty, have been sentenced to serve term in the penitentiary. Senator Bayner, in a recent speech, alluded to President Roosevelt as a "tyrant." This is not the first in stance of a Southern Fire Eater insult ing a President. Lincoln was branded at an ape, a clodhopper, a tyrant and a dictator, and then shot to death by a hot head -"of the Bayner brand of agitators. One of the surprises in the returns from the primary election in Alabama, was the number of votes cast for Gov ernor Johnson. The Minnesota man carried Mobile, Montgomery and Bir mingham. Although Bryan carried the state, yet the fret has been clearly established that he was not the unani saoue choice and that there is a grow ing tendency in the South to desert the Lincoln agitator. The Republicans of the Eighteenth Senatorial district, composed of the counties of Nance, Polk and Merrick, will have two candidates to be voted for at the' primary election in Septem ber if E. L. King of Osceola, concludes to enter the field for re-election. J. H. Kemp, of Fullerton, has already announced his candidacy, and his friends will make a strong fight to have him endorsed as the candidate. Nebraska- Democrats should not worry if the Denver convention fails to adopt a plank favoring government ownership of railways. Bryan will accept the nomination if he can get it and run on any kind of aplatform the convention rams down his throat He supported Parker and a gold stand ard platform. in 1904, a free silver platform in 1596 and a wild cat cur rency platform a few years previous. It makes no difference to Bryan what the platform contains if he is the can didate. The Democratic party is always appealing to the workingmen for votes and. sympathy on the oft-repeated that it is the "poor man's narty. Poor men cannot afford to $2500 automobiles' or pay $50 for the privilege of iiding and leaping in a palace carl The press dispatches state that the Lincoln crowd to the Denver convention will make the trip in a hundred motor cars, and that fhe Jacksonian Democrats of will travel on a special train : ap of palace cars.

Legislation, has been hampered and needed meas ures delayed. The Democratic mem bers have been loud in insisting that the Republicans 'were hostile to cer tain measures advocated by the Pres ident, Secretary Taft and other mem bers of Boosevelt's official family. Among the hills the Deasocratic mem bers claimed the Bepublicans were opposed to was the campaign contri bution publicity bill. The Democratic leader of the minority twitted Bepub licans with being afraid to bring for wari the measure fordiscussion. Now note the insincerity of the Democrats. Last Friday the publicity bill was brought forward by the republicans and every Democrat in the house voted against, it Williams and his followers didn't want the public to know who contributed money to assist in running a Democratic campaign. They were opposed to the measure. They know that publicity given to campaign contributions would show to the world that the importers of New York City and the representatives of Paris, London and Berlin houses, and the sugar and other trusts would with hold contributions from the campaign fund of the Democratic party a source from which the Democrats have always secured money in presidential campaigns. The fact of the matter is the cam paign managers of the Democratic party in presidential and congressional campaigns has never lacked for funds. Two years ago in this congressional district, the Democrats had two dol lars to spend where the republicans had one, and by the free use of money came very near defeating Judge Boyd. When a Democrat lifts up his hands in righteous indignation at the bare suggestion that his party uses money in campaigns contributed by the rep resentatives of special interests, put him down as a rank hypocrite. The fact that a man is a Democrat does not mean that his political morals are superior to a man claiming allegiance to any other party. The most corrupt political organization with which the country was ever cursed is Tammany Hall a Democratic organization whose first chief was Aaron Burr a man distrusted by Washington, Ham ilton, Adams and Jefferson and whose present chief is regarded as a common scoundrel. ,? "riv George W. Berge is going to make trouble for the Democrats of Nebraska if he is not endorsed as a candidate for Governor at the primaries. Mr. Berge is laboring .under the hallucination that he has not been, fairly treated by his party. Four years ago, when he was a. candidate against 'Mickey, he ran ahead of his ticket It was not so much Serge's popularity that was res ponsible for the vote he received as it was Mickey's weakness; BufBergejs too conceited to understand the reason why so many Republican votes were cast for him in that campaign. He still imagines that he is entitled to something, basing his claim on his state-wide popularity among the vot ers, and not only asks but demands the nomination on the democratic ticket for Governor this year. Opposed to Berge is Banker Shallenbarger, who was a candidate two years ago against Governor Sheldon. Shallenbarger is a man of ability who stands well in his own party and has the respect of those who do not agree with him politically. He made a spectacular campaign and caused the Bepublicans not a littla uneasiness early in. the fight, but his ability as an orator and his aggressive manner of campaigning failed to win votes from the opposition. Although he was not what people generally style An orator, yet the earnest appeals made by George L: Sheldon for support,, made more of an impression on the voters than the oratory of Shallen barger, and the latter was defeated. Now Shallenbarger is a candidate for renomination. Berge is not likely to cut much of a figure in the contest. Shallenbarger has the support of near ly every leading democrat in the state, and it is stated that his nomination would be pleasing to Mr. Bryan, who doubtless regards Shallenbarger an abler man than Berge.- The latter has never been regarded asa "good Indian" by the leaders of the party, although he is popular with that dement in the Democratic party that formerly voted the Populist ticket This element, so it is alleged, Berge controls and can nse at. his dictation, and as he is a sen sative and conceited individual, who overestimates his importance, popu larity and influence, he is not likely to submit gracefully to defeat at the pri maries. However, it does not make the slightest difference to Republicans which one of the aspirants is endors ed at the primaries. Governor rshel don will be renominated ami elected. kMk.' A LEAF FROM THE PAST. How John C. Calhoun Wai Interrupted While Writing a Plan For the Dinwlution of The American Union. The following article, taken from George Lippard'a paper, The Qaaker City, published In Philadelphia, was written by the Washington correspond ent of that paper tfty-eight years ago. Washington, D. O, Jan. 12, 1850. The other morning, at the breakfast table, our friend, the Hon. John C. Calhoun, seemed very much troubled And out of spirits. You know he is al together a venerable man, with a hard, stern, Scotch-Irish face, softened in its expression around the mouth by a sort of aad smile, which wins the hearts of all who converse with him. His hair is snow-white. He is tall, thin, and angular. He reminds you very much of Old Hickory. That he is honest, no doubts; he has sacrificed to his Fatal ism the Brightest hopes of political ad vancement has offered up on the shrine of that iron Necessity which he worships, all that can excite ambition even the presidency of the United '-orv. Th. other .n.. ing, at the breakfast table, where I, an unobserved spectator, happened to be present, Calhoun was observed to gaze frequently at his right hand, and brush it with his left, in a nervous and hur ried manner. He did this so often that it excited attention. At length one of the persons composing the breakfast party his name I think is Toombs, and he is a member of Con gress from Georgia took upon him self to ask the occasion of Mr. Cal houn's disquietude. "Does your hand pain you?" he asked. To this Calhoun replied in rather a flurried manner "Pshaw! It is no thing. Only a dream, which ' I had last night, and which makes me see perpetually a large black spot like an ink blotch upon the back of my right hand. An optical delusion, I suppose." Of course these words excited the curiosity of the company, but no one ventured to beg the details of this singular dream, until Toombs asked quietly "What was your dreamlike? I'm not very superstitious about dreams; but sometimes they hav a good deal of truth in them." "But this was such a peculiarly absurd dream," mid Mr. Calhoun, again brushing the back of his right hand "however, if it does not too much intrude upon the time of our friends, I will relate it" Of course, the company were profuse in their expressions of Anxiety to know All About the dream. In his singular ly sweet voice, Mr. Calhoun related it: "At a late hour last night, as I was sitting in my room, engaged in writ ing, I was astonished by the entrance of A visitor who entered, and withouta word, took a seat opposite me at my table.- This surprised me, as I had given particular orders to my servant, that I should on no Account be dis turbed. The manner in which the intruder, so perfectly self-possessed, taking his seat opposite me, without a word, as though my room, and all within it, belonged to him, excited in me as much surprise as indignation. As I raised my head to look into his features, over the top of my shaded lamp, I discovered that he was wrap ped in a thin cloak, which effectually concealed his face and features from my view. And as I raised my head he spoke "What are you writing, Senator Prof. Charles Zueblia, in an article recently printed, says that this is a "godly but immoral age," and cites the outcry against the removal of "In God we Trust" from certain coins." The senate restored the motto, vand Depew, Aldrich, Platte and equally as other tough senators voted in favor of the measure. "In the House of Representatives in the new capitol At Harrisburg," writes Professor Zueblin, "as one looks beyond the great can delabrapurchased by the pound at extravagant figures to the sumptu ously embossed gallery contracted for by the yard and equally extrava gantone sees in raised letters 'Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' V Before burn ing a tobacco warehouse a few even ings ago, a Kentucky mob of night raiders opened their lawless act with prayer. Immoral Godliness not only exists at the present day bat has ex- Mted in past ages. In the name of God men have been put to death and their property confiscated; nations have fought and armies have killed And destroved. Immoral Godliness has left a trail of blood along the avenue of time, which, thanks to true! 4,'ir, ? ' Jihhi JJA.Z ?. from South Carolina?" he said. I did not think of his impertinence at first, but answered him involun tarily "lam writing apian, for the Dis solution of the American Union, (you know, gentlemen, thntl Am expected to produce a plan of Dissolution, in the event of certain contingencies!" To this the intruder replied in the coolest possible manner--' "Senator from South Carolina, will you allow me to look at your hand, your right hand?" "He arose, the cloak fell and I be held his face. Gentlemen, the sight of that face struck me like a thunder clAp. It was the face of a dead man, whom extraordinary events had called back to life. The features were those of George Washington; yes, gentle men, the intruder was none other than George Washington. He was dressed in the Revolutionary costume, such aa you see preserved in the Patent Office-" Here Mr. Calhoun paused, appar ently much agitated. His agitation, I need not tell yon, was shared by the company. Toombs at length broke the embarrassing pause. "Well, well, what was the issue of this scene?" Mr. Calhoun resumed: "This intruder, I have said, rose and asked to look at my right hand. As though I had not the power to refuse, I extended it The truth is, I felt a strange chill pervade me at his touch; he grasped it and held it near the light, thus affording me full time to examine every feature of his face. It was the face of Washington. Gentlemen, I shudder as I beheld the horribly dead alive look of that visage. After hold ing my hand for a moment he looked at me steadily, and said in a quiet way- "And with this right hand, Senator from South Carolina, you would sign your name to a paper, declaring' the Union dissolved?" "I answered in the affirmative. 'Yes!' said I, 'ifa certain contingency arises, I will sign my name to the De claration of Dissolution." But at that moment, a black blotch appeared on the back ef my hand, an inky blotch, which I seem, to see even now. What.is that?' cried I, 'Alarmed 'I know not why, at the blotch upon my hand. "That" said He, dropping my hand, 'that is the mark by which Benedict Arnold is known in the next world.' "He mid no more, gentlemen, but drew from beneath his cloak an object which he placed upon the tableplaced it upon the very paper upon which I was writing. That object gentlemen, was a skeletion. "There," said He, 'there are the bones of Isaac Hayne, who was hung in Charleston by the British. He gave his life, in order to establish the Union. When you put your name to a De clartion of Dissolution, why ypu may as well have the bones of Isaac Hayne before you. He was a South Caro linian, and so are yon! But there was no blotch upon his right hand ' "With these words the intruder left the room. I started back from the contract with the dead man's bones and awoke. Overworn by labor, I had fallen asleep and been dreaming. Was it riot a singular dream?" All the company answered in the affirmative. Toombs muttered, "sin gular, very singular!" at the same time looking rather curiously at the back of his right hand and Mr. Cal houn, placing his head between his hands, seemed buried in thought godliness, is growing fainter as the world marches on to its destiny. The people of today are better than the human beings that lived a thousand years ago. A thousand years hence the men who irihnbit the earth will have advanced in true Godliness to a degree far beyond the present age. Don't become discouraged at the dark forebodings of Professor Zueblin. In tellectual, moral and commercial de velopment will continue to expand. We are living in the most important and intellectually progressive period of human history. Within less than a hundred years inventions and dis coveries have been made which have brought the people closer together and raised the standard of morality throughout the world. MLMnOM GREAT THOUGHT: When James G. Blaine sent his great dolasations of South America delegates over the United States in 1889 he was not much applauded. The Blaine panamerican-idea seemed a bit visionary, and the great junket that the delegates from the southern republics had was called expensive aad hardly of real necessity. have changed. We now .SA-ew-'VS .Kfi-;Jw,t know that the James G. Blaine idea wm a good one,. well worth all of the time And attention that was given to its Imginnings. Recently, in Wash ington, there wm laid the cornerstone of a building that is to be the home of the Bureau of American Republics. The giver of the money needed to erect the building is Andrew Carnegie. That the permanent home of the in ternational bureau in Washington is Dosurprisevbutthefactof its being so may be taken as obviously signifi cant It hV the first step in the direc tion of an understandiag that will not only mean closer trade relations on, this side of the Atlantic, but a political entente that will establish the Monroe pronouncement beyond question as something more than a mere doctrine. With the falling away of the mon archical idea and the decay of govern ments that adhere to it the bonds holding the nations of the west to gether will increase in sympathetic strength. While it may be too much to my that the hour will come when the stars and stripes shall wave over all of the empire between Hudson bay and Terra del Fuego, it is, not too much to my that the time will come when the ideal developed by Jaases Gillespie Blaine and fathered by Elihu Root will be dominant in every foot of that vast .stretch of mountain and plain. St Louis Globe Democrat The public has been long-suffering and gullible in the matter of quacks and quackery. This seems a little strange in view of the value of life, and the fact that a reputable physican charges no more, often not as much, as the doctor who has gained license to practice by buying a diploma from some of the worthless institutions which sell sheepskin by the yard. The plumber who hasn't faithfully served his required apprenticeship at the trade, is sure to find himself out of a job, and there is no demand, for the carpenter who cannot build a house. The lawyer who knows no law must resort to politics or other doubtful means of self-support, as his advice is not valued by parties engaged in legal disputes. But in the practice of med icine, the most important profession, it has been possible for doctors who have gained their knowledge of surgery and medicine from a butcher shop and a dye-works, to grow rich in their chosen calling. This has been expen sive to the public in life, health" and money, there is coming a graduar awakening, The quack has also been a drawback to the skilled aid legiti mate of the medical profession, and they are likely to be the ones most potential in relegating the quack to history. At a recent meeting of the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Society in Chicago, the matter was discussed At length, And more rigid theoretical examinations, as well as additional practical tests were urged as a means of barring the ignorant and incompetent An investigation ofw called medical schools which grant diplomas to short term students was also recommended. One doctor told of a "dipolma mill" in New Jer sey which guaranteed to fit students to pass the state examinations in six months. It developed afterward that one of these students, during the state examination, declared the average dose of tincture of opium to be from one-half to two ounces, and also wrote that when examining for the detection of poison: "Iluk in hees mouth and 1 smel his breth." Of course these recommendations on the pnrt of the doctors Are made from selfish motives, but putting the quack out of business means more to the public than than to the doctors; money is something, but health is a more important consideration. Here is a uaefuLopportuhity to the legisla tors who, are always in search of some thing to reform. Atchison Globe. Empreaa Taking tha "Cure." Under the name of Princess Strech noff. the empress of Russia is staying in a hotel at Rapallo trying to regain her health, which has been shattered by many anxieties, not to mention the attempt to,: reduce her avoirdupois.

France has a goodly crop of royal exiles and pretenders to the throne. At Farnbdrough lives the ex-Empress Eugenie, a pathetic figure, reminding one very forcibly of the "tragedy of kings." First, in 1870, came the over throw of her husband. Napoleon III., and her flight to England. Worse fol lowed la the death of her husband and son, and to-day this unhappy royal exile, one of the loneliest and most touching in all Europe, quietly awaits the great call. Withltf a couple of hours' railway Journey of Farnborough, viz.. at Eves ham, In Worcestershire, lives another French royal exile, the Due d'Orleans, chief claimant to the throne of France, whose sister, Princess Louise of France, was recently married to Prince Charles of Bourbon, whose sister escaped miraculously with her life at Lisbon. The duke's great grandfather was King Louis Philippe, the last of the line to reign in France, who signed an act of abdication in favor of his grandson, the Comte de Paris, father of the present Due d Or leans. How the revolution changed France from a monarchy to a republic every schoolboy knows, and not only is the duke thus prevented from wearing a crown, but by the expulsion act of 1880 he Is made liable to arrest and punishment if he sets his foot in France. This act forbids the soil of that country to the direct heirs of families which have reigned. For this reason Prince Victor Na poleon, who claims the Bonapartist succession and is styled Napoleon IV. by his followers, resides in Brussels. Prince Victor's father was cousin to Napoleon III., husband of the ex-Empress Eugenie. Napoleon III. died in 1873; his only son, the prince im perial, was killed in the Zulu cam paign of 1879, and thus Joseph Charles Paul Bonaparte, father of Prince Vic tor, held the position of head of the house of Bonaparte, and his son be came heir of the Bonapartist hopes. But the act of 1886 exiled them both as' pretenders to the throne. Prince Victor, however his father died in 1891 still hopes to reign in the coun try of his birth, and reminds his par tisans at Intervals of this ambition by sending them signed photographs of himself. And then there is the most pictur esque of all claimants to the throne of France Dom Carlos, duke of Mad rid, who considers that by strict right of heredity he should also be king of Spain. He claims to be Carlos VII., the rightful king of Spain and the In dies, by virtue of his descent from Dom Carlos, brother of King Ferdi nand VII. of Spain (who died in 1833). and also claims to be King Carlos XI. of France and Navarre, since the death of -the Comte de Chambord in 1883, when the elder line of the house of Bourbon became extinct. On ac count of the latter claim he has been expelled from France, and of late years has not pursued his claim to the throne of Spain quite so actively as he did in the 70's, when, after the strenuous campaign, the government managed to dislodge his adherents from their strongholds in the north of the country. Like the Due d'Orleans, Dom Carlos is very rich, and it is said that he hopes, through his son, -Dom Jaime, who is an officer in the Rus sian army, to yet gain those royal rights which are said to belong to his family. In Paris lives Queen Natalie of Ser- via, mother of the murdered King Alexander, who, after her divorce from King Milan, took up her resi dence in the French capital; while near by lives Prince Guy de Lusig nan, who claims to be king of Arme nia, Cyprus and Jerusalem. He traces his descent from the famous knight, Guy de Lusignan, who became king of Jerusalem In 1186. There Is little likelihood of the prince "coming into his own," but in the meantime he has designed two attractive decor ations., the Order of Mount Sinai, and - .; 'r,l --' - j &' -j.. x :- I tfaffftrmiu Binriuuf I I JIUAgUZJlUU uwiuiig I I Old Books I I Rebound I I In fact, for anything in the book I bindine line brine vnnr nrm-lr tn A I T5fe I I v Journal Office I I Phone 160 I i I 6Mlt Blkft eMMl rlrllfl- MStoM.

Prince Theodore, was a candidate for the throne of Greece in 186S, when the powers selected Prince George of Denmark. Portugal, too. has its .pretenders In Dom Miguel II.. whose father fought unavailingly for the crown early in the last century.
