• HIV CAMPAIGN IS OiV
The prohibitionists are organizing
nnd perfecting plans to enpturo No-
brnekn They nro flooding the Btnto
with circulars and tracts , rallying hero
and there in little groups and laying
the foundation for a campaign of emo
tional insanity such as has never boon
witnessed in the west
The Bie : has boon favored with an
outline of the prohibition plan of cam
paign , in which we nro informed thnt
the notional third party will do all jn
their power to fight outln Nebraska the
battle of the homo against the high
ltconso delusion and snare " "Wo
must conoontrato In Nebraska , " says
Miss Wlllnrd , nil the work possible In
1800 , for that dates , as wo hope , the
doom of the legalized liquor trafllc in
the state that opened upon the nation
the Pandora's box of high license "
Nebraska must bo punished for origi
nating nnd putting into cIToct the best
system of regulating and restrict
ing the liquor trafllc devised by
man High license was the dawn ot
true temperance reform It reduced
the ovlls of the tratllc , swept nwny the
groggories breeding spots of vlco
forced the business into responsible
hands nnd surrounded it will , safe
guards The Slocumb law was an in
spiration The author never dreamed
that the hill which ho drafted in his
quiet country homo was destined to become -
como n shield to ward off the blight ot
prohibition Nor did the most sancrtilno
friend of the measure imagine that It
would swoop the country nnd bo in
dorsed by every conservative friend of
temperance reform , both lay and clorl-
cal Its adoption by Massachusetts ,
Hhodo Island , Connecticut , Pennsyl
vania and Vermont was ti comnllmont
to its worth and bonoflconeo Evan in
the west it has become the standard
method of regulation Minnesota ,
Illinois and Missouri have grafted
the principles of high license
upon their statute and its suc
cess has extorted from gonornl
Fisko , the prohibition candidate for
president last yoartho compliment that
it was the only effective measure of temperance
poranco reform short of national prohi
bition
But the third party is determined to
change the signs and supplant the sa
loon by the drug store It is a change
ot name , not of character The advo
cates of prohibition and free whisky do
not stop to count the cost , nor will they
listen to reason and common seuso
They are in league with the bootleggers -
gors , and care not what disaster they
caiiDO to the business interests of
the state so long as they abolish high
license and regulation and substitute
outlawry and frco rum
MEXICAX ItAILItOADB
The Mexicans , whoso motto has hith
erto been never do today what can bo
put off until tomorrow , " seem to bo
waking up They certainly have como
to a realizing sense of the economic
valtio of railways in the domain of com
merce The government is negotiating
a large loan to bo used in enlarging
and improving tlvb Mexican , railroad
system In the northern part of the
republic there arc already four lines
that connect with the American border
Two of these extend to the cap
ital and the ether two to interior
points These lines Have nu
merous lntoral branches and the
Pacillo coast is also connected with the
City of Mexico The northern half ot
the country is quite well provided with
railways Nearly all these roads have
been built during the last decade But
in southern Mexico the locomotive and
railway train are unknown and n rail
way to the boundary line of Guatemala
has boon projected This will bo ati
important undertaking not alone for
Mexico , but for the United States as
well A large and rich country will bo
opened up to industrial and
commercial development The road
would also form tin important link
in the railway communication between
the United States and South America ,
which will doubtless be ono of the de
velopments of the near future But the
moie immediate results of better trans
portation facilities would bo the in
creased commercial activities between
that country and ours Too much of
Mexico's trndo gees to Europe Wo
Import much moro from Mexico than
wo expert to that country , showing
a trade balance on the wrong
side of the lodger With moro
railroads and iucronscd facilities for intercommunication -
tor-communication this state of things
might bo reversed It la to the interest
of this nation to encourngo railroad
construction in Mexico , nnd American
capital should bo In the field to compote
with the Europonn and espcotnlly Eng
lish capital , which has monopolized all
the arouuos of commerce and industry
in Mexico for many years

KEEP OUT OV TIW PAUKS
The strcot railway company Is asking
altogether too much when it seeks to
encroach upon our park syntom , which
at best is very limited Ilnnscom park
was dedicated for park purporses only
Not an inch of that ground should
bo given up to street railway tracks or
stations The approaches to the park
nro ample for street railway tracks ,
and thcro is no valid excuse for appro
priating any part of the park for the
strcot railway
Even if the park covered eight hundred -
drod acres instead of eighty it would bo
very questionable policy to allow any
part of the grounds to bo cut up by rail
way tracks It would sot a bad prece
dent : Sooneror later motor linescablo
rends street and steam railways would
wedge their tracks into our parks and
not only mar the beauty of the uarks
but ultimately rob the public of the
pleasure-grounds designed as resorts for
popular recreation

value of the gift as well as the time

est of the company's appreciation
of faithful servlcos , as well as
a purpose to provide for the families of

The iron market shows signs of un
usual aoIvlty During the last throe
months prices have stondily advuncod
and It is generally oxnectod that by tlio
mlddlo of January bar iron will com

The rise is ascribed to various causes ,
ohiotot which lean iucroasoot orders for
railroad and huildors' iron for 1S00.
The decreased production of iron ere
under the manipulations of the trust
also stimulated the market But con
servative mnnufacturors doubt the per

prices are Invariably tollawod by dis
astrous reaction Purchasers will hold

force prlcos beyond a reasonable limit
they will puncture the boom

For tlio GAo 'il ' or the Indian
jwnrcr Tdnes
Tbo members ofVtho Indian ltights asso

core men , who nro , working disinterestedly
to promote the goodiot the Indian and to so *
cure his advancement But the loaders ot
that organlzation.iiayo not all been ot that
kind There boyo-dicon among them men
who sought only personal ends , and who on
Indian reservations onasted the dolightf ul
part of maliciousmeddlers , These , whllo
professing the most earnest devotion to the
cause of Indian eiJueatlon , have given their
sympathy and sthJriort to the disturbing ola-
ment among the Indians that Is opposed to
education and hoslilo to the schools Thus
they have done what they could to embar
rass the government In Its efforts to estab
lish schools among the Indians
In this the members generally ot the asso
ciation have unwittingly given to the dis
turbers their moral support They bayc
done so because they have blindly assumed
In every controversy between the Indians and
the government that ( ho latter was in fault
They have especially been certain , whoa
over there was any trouble between the In
dians and an agent , that the former wore
abused innocontJ and that the latter was a
cruel oppressor or a wicked swindler They
have believed that the Indians were all
truth tellers and the frontier whites all
liars In fact , In considering the Indian
question the eastern people manifest an in
tense passloa for thinking the worst , the
crnolost nnd the wickedest things passible ot
their OwnTaoo , and their own particular ola-
mont of the race , too
Thus it has hnpponod thnt the Indian
Rights association has hindered rather thou

on the ecnernl principle that every chtingo

what effect will the vast oiitcrprlso have
upon the comparatively undeveloped part of

will cause a great deal of land which now
nsmuitis td' .o to bo devoted to tbo culture of
the sugar boot , for the profltB nrlslng from
this farming industry nro so much above any
otiiors that farmers will naturally sco the
necessity of devoting their nttontion to it ,
consequently it will have the immediate
result of enhancing the value of lands And ,
moreover It will lead to a moro rnpld settle
ment of the country The ex
periments that have been carried on
by the bureau in rotation to the culture ot
beets , leave no uoobt whutover as to the
fitness ot the soil to produce a flrst-clnss

The work Is progressing very rapidly In

and in keeping with the industry to which it
is devoted On or about the 15th of
January , 1800 , the cltizous of Grand

How about Willfleet , and what are the
prospects for a factory there "
"I know very little about the prospects for
a factory at that place But citizens thcro
have sugar boots on the bruin ns much as
tliny have at Grand Island While there I
noted the soil carefully and think it emi
nently adopted to the cultivation of RUgar
beets In my judgment , however , tbo Grand
Island enterprise Will be watched nnd upon
its success may depend the erection of a
factory at that place 1 can say this , ulso ,
of other points in the state Schuyler nnd
Nellgh are growing anxious upon the ques

from both points relating to the subject
Inquiries chiefly , mo directed to the cost
of production in the manufacturing of sugar
These points I urn investigating with great
