In many respects one of the most Impor
tant works of the year Is "The United i
Btntes of Kurope , " by W. T. SUml. It U i
cfpeclelly timely , coming to hand while the
parliament of pence Is In steilrn. ho
author , who IB the editor of the Eng.lsh
Kovlcw of Hovlews , has lately returned
from a trip to all the capitals of Europe ,
'where he baa talked with the Important men
of each country , from the czar cf Russia
down , on the question of a possible "United
States of Europe. " in this bcok he give-
the views of the statesmen of the old world
en the political situation of ISO ! ) , In the
light of the czar's peace rescript and of
( American "expansion. " Drolilcs treating of
America's task in the West Indies and Phil
ippines , the "Chinese Puzzle , " South Af
rican problems , the Fashoda muddle , the
concert of Kuropo and Its work In Crete
nnd Candla , and many other matters ot
current Interest , Mr. Stead forecasts very
Interestingly the immediate political futuro.
iMoro than a hundred portraits , views and
maps Illustrate the volume. The authcr. In
Ills preface , says : "In the year 1898 two
etrnngo things happened. It Is difficult to
eay which was more unexpected. In the
weal the American republic , which for
moro than a hundred years had made Its
proudest boast Its haughty Indifference to
the temptation of territorial conquest , sud
denly abjured Its secular creed nnd cdn-
cludcd a war upon which It had entered
nvllh every protestation of absolute disinter-
colednesa by annexations so sweeping ns to
Invest the United Stales with All that was
left of the heritage of Imperial Spain. In
the east a sovereign autocrat , command-
Ins the bayonets ot C.000,000 ot trained
noldlers and the Implicit obedience of 120-
000,000 of loyal subjects , amazed and bo-
wlldercd mankind by formally and publicly
arraigning the armaments of the modern
vorld and summoning a conference of all
the powers to discuss practical measures
( for abating nn evil which threatened to
Jand civilized society In the abyss. " Pub

'Another ' work of great Importance , by
reason of the prominence of the writer
und Its timeliness. Is "The Brcnk-Up ot
China , " by Lord Charles Ueresford. The
Interest shown In Lord Beresford's trip by
the chambers ot commerce of all the prin
cipal cities In the United States , many of
which entertained him , has already created
n rcmarknblo demand for .his works. It
is un admirable statement or an experienced
Hrltlsh statesman and officer and Lord
Uoresford affirms emphatically that the only
way to avoid International complications
nnd at thn same time to advance the Inter
ests of the normal trade elf all nations In
China Is to prevent the so-called "spheres-
of-lnflucnco" policy { that Is , the policy , now
In danger of being carried out , of each
CBurcpean nation securing p. portion of
China and preventing any trade In that
portion other than that of Ifs own na
tionality ) nnd to Insist upon what has come
to be called "Tho Policy ot the Open
Door. " The whole book Is n series of well
Authenticated statements of the present sit
uation and of the necessary work to bo car
ried out.If the Chinese omplro Is to bo held
toigctho'r , bas6d upon Interviews with the
great Chinese viceroys , the famous tsung-
11-yamen , the escaped reformer , Kans Yu
! \Vol , and others. It ! s safe to say that no
- Jbook upon China has been published during
this century that elves In such small space
eo clear and straightforward a statement
cf the position China occupies nnd Is likely
to occupy In the commerce and politics of
( ho world. Harper & Brothers , New York.

A work that is of no little Importance
nnd ono that certainly ought to receive at-
tentlori especially from the legal fraternity
Is "Stato Trials , " edited by Charles Ed
ward Lloyd. A southern woman , who had
"written for years for the -magazines nnd
newspapers , was placed In charge of the
exhibit ot the Department of Justice at
the Omaha Exposition. Among other things
entrusted to her care was a bookcase full
of valuable old law books , the Pandects
of Justinian , Colonial Laws and copies of
the State Trials In Great Britain from the
reign of Illchard II to that of George HI.
Bho net only read thorn herself , but she
bought a table nnd chairs , placed them In
the beautiful nlcho over which she pre-
Blded and permitted her moro cultured vis
itors to read them. This tat > lo filled with
books became n favorlto resort for judges ,
lawyers nnd scholars. The popularity of
the books , especially the State Trials of
Francis Hnrgravo and T. B. Howcll , esqs. ,
convinced her that If the best of these
Ibooks could bo put In handy volumes at
n cheap rice there would bo a demand for
tliem. The first volume Is now at hand
and contains the trials of Mary , Queen of
Scots , Sir Walter Raleigh nnd Captain
Kldd , thu pirate. These are condensed ,
hut everything of especial Interest is given
In full. There is no better way of Im
pressing English history on one's mind than
by reading these trials. No lawyer can
fall to find n romantic interest in every
page of the book and ho will bo amazed
nt the language and the ruling of some of
the lawyers and judges of the dates given.

The latest addition to the Ivory si'rlcs of

the army is all In all , a story that has to

euro erf attracting attention. The Ivory

"Why Men Do Not tlo to Church" Is a
ruo3tlon | to which Cortlaml Myersminister

llttlo volume. As the author nays In his In
troductory remarks , "Why men da not go to

the hour. Kncti are net to bo Iqnorcd , they
are to bo studied ; nnd every true man
ought to go Into training to , fight the facts ,
so that the church may not faint away gome

half of the Inhabitants of this country do
not attend our churches today. " The writer
H of the opinion that It the cause tor this
state of affairs can be learned there will be
a better opportunity for the discovery ot a

"My Young iMan" Is n new work by Hov.
Louis Albert Danks nnd Is , in a certain
sense , a companion volume of a very recent
work by the same authcr entitled "Tho

was the case with its predecessor , contains
i aeries of addresses to young men delivered

: onsldcratlon of the young man In his rc-
atlonshlp as a son , a brother , a member of
society , a lover , a husband , a citizen , n
young man and his money , and the young
man ns hlmoalf. The aim of those addresses ,
or character studies , Is to arouse In young
men a love nnd respect for things that they
are too apt -to regard lightly. Parents and

boys and young men a better book on these

"Siberia and Central Asia , " by John W.
Bookwalter , Is the result of a trip through
Siberia and Central Asia made by the authcr
during the summer and autumn of last year.
It consists mostly of letters which were
published by several western newspapers.
As the eastern question hinges largely upon
the pcaitlon of rtussla the author undertook
the trip for the purpose of studying that
country nt short range. Believing that the
results of his observations
may servo as a
contribution to the better understanding of
that question , the writer has Issued n book
for private circulation. The views which
wcro taken during ifio
journey give a bet
ter and clearer Idea of the character 'of
these great regions tihan the writer's de
scriptions. Some of these , taken while
crossing the Siberian steppes , might easily
be mistaken for views along the Union Pa
cific In western Nebraska , Published by

"Idylls of the Sea" la a now work by
Frank Bullen. who is best known to the
reading public as the aullior of "The Cruise
ot the Cachalot , " without doubt the best
account of the adventures of whale llshlng
ever written. The succers which Mr. Bullen
has won by the force nnd vividness of that
work Imparts a special Interest to his now
book. This book sketcties the varied phases
of the llfo and experiences of these who go
down to the sea In ships. It Is not con
fined to the whaler's exploits , but Includes
the things which are seen and the adven
ture which are undergone by all manner of
men upon the sea. Ttie keen observation
and dramatic quality of , the author's first
book are vividly Illustrated In his second.

"Tho Rescue of Cuba , an Episode In the
Growth of Free Government , " by Andrew S
Draper , president of 'tho ' University of h -
llnols , Is o book which differs materially
from any other book which has been writ
ten en the war of 1808. Whllo the story
Is told vividly Indeed , with noteworthy viv
idness the main < blng Is not the story.
The characteristic ofthe book Is the presen
tation of the contest for Cuba as an episode
In the world's struggle for human liberty
and growth toward frc * government. Ac
cordingly , the book Is moro than patriotic
it is warmly human ; It frankly presents
American patriotism as rinding Its best ex
pression in profound humanity. This Is a
remarkable feature ; It Is also a very salu
tary trait In a book which Is designed pri
marily * for young Aincrlctyis. But , though
President Draper wrote "The Hescuo 01
Cuba" with the jouth oftho country in
hla mind , It Is In no sense juvenile In Its
tone or Its me-tlrd of dealing with the mo
mentous questions of the war with Spain.
It takes a unique p.Uce as a well-rounded
account of tbo war In all its phases a vol

dicial view which Is likely to bo the opinion

PRISONERS DENIED A TRIAL
Shields' ' Nsgltct Ke pa Them in Jail Whila

li > Various Court * ,
Some of the attorneys who have clients In
the county jail awaiting trial arc decidedly
exercised over the dilatory manner In which
criminal cnses are being prosecuted. In
spile of the fact that there are now sixteen
or eighteen prisoners locked up , who are
ready for trial , uo cases arc sot until Thurs
day morning. THO cases were set Mon
day , but ono of the defendants pleaded
guilty , and the other was dismissed , to the
entire proc c < llngs occupied scarcely fifteen
minutes. Yesterday the county attorney had
no eases ready , nnd the same story was told
when Judge Baker mounted the bench this
morning.
Under these circumstances the court took
occasion to express a very decided opinion
with reference to the matter. Deputy
County Attorney Grossman suggested that
the failure to have cases ready was duo tea
a misunderstanding between the court and
the county attorney , owing to a supposition
that Judge Daker would bo out of town
Tuesday and Wednesday. Judge Baker very
emphatically declared that he had taken os-
pejial caio to assure the county attorney
that he would not go away unftss he could
secure some other judge to attend to the
criminal docket. Ho had been , unable to dose
so , and he had consequently given up his
two days' vacation and was ready for busi
ness. The prosecutor Insisted that there
were no cases that could bu taken up before
Thursday , and the jury was consequently
dismissed.
This Is ono of several Incidents that have
occurred during the term that Illustrate the
looseness that prevails la the county attor
ney's office. In splto or the fact that
Shields Is given the services of an extra
employe In the person of W. II , Gunsolas and
nn extra deputy In Leo Helslcy more tlmo
has been wnstcd en account of his falluro
to have cases ready for trial than during
any previous term of the criminal court.
Even after cases are tailed It Is a matter of
frequent occurrence that tney are dismissed
or postponed on account of some Incompe-
toncy or neglect on the part of the county
attorney or his assistants. Only the other
day a man named Benson , who was charged
with a very aggravated assault with n knife ,
In which the victim was nearly killed , was
dismissed because the county attorney had
forgotten to have him arraigned. The jury
was selected and sworn In , and then the at
torney for the defense called attention to the
oversight and moved a dismissal. His con
tention was verified by the re-cord nnd the
court had to sustain the motion.
An equally significant Incident occurred
during the trial of John Pyle , accused of
shooting William Mason with Intent to kill.
Deputy Attorney Dunn empannei'ert the jury
Thursday nnd conducted the prosecution Frl-
day. Saturday the case was still on , but
no Dunn appeared. Neither was there any
explanation for his absence. Judge Baker
sent for Deputy Grossman and compelled
him to go Into the case entirely without
preparation and take It up where Dunn left
off. It happened that the evidence was con
clusive against the defendant , and Gross
man succeeded In securing a conviction In
spite of the fact that ho knew nothing about
the case.
These and similar Instances of dereliction
on the hart of the ccmnty attorney have
elicited a number of sharp criticisms from
the bench , but Shields has a supply of ex
cuses 'that hold out like the widow's cruse.
In the meantime , a number of attorneys are
preparing petitions In habcns corpus through
which they expect to secure the release of
their clients on the ground that they have
not been given that speedy trial that' the
law aTlows them.

Judge Baxter returned from his eastern
trip yesterday nnd called the Juno civil
docket during the fcrenoon. There are
seventy-three cases on the call and this Is
the lightest docket that has been known In
county court In ten years. When Judge Bax
ter went on the county bench there were
238 cases cm the call , and the lowest ag
gregate that has been reached until this
term was eighty. The falling off Is not duo
to any decrease In the number of cases ,
but Is the result of a vigorous effort to keep
the docket cleaned up.
After the call , and by the agreement of
the attorneys present , It n-ns decided that
no contested cases shall be cabled during
July and August. Judge Baxter will bo In
the city all summer , however , to act on
any caus.es which may be submitted on stipu
lation.

Charles Knezacek has been appointed

suit against the Omaha and Grant Smelting
and Refining company for ? 23,000 damages
on account of a sunstroke , which Is alleged
to have caused the loss of reason nnd for
which the smelting company is held re- .
Eponslble. The petition states that In July ,
1893 , Frank Knezacek was employed in the
ctipalo of the smelter , but , as ho wa-s not
well , ho asked the foreman for a layoff.
This was refused him nnd ho worked until
ho sustained a sunstroke , which ended In
insanity. Ho therefore contends that the

SUPPORTS ADMINISTRATION
Cltliru of Avorj- Armies In 1'nvor of
the 1'rcnlileiit'n Policy In
( lie I'lillliuilnen ,
A VERY , Neb. . June 6. To the Editor of
The Bee : Kindly allow me to reply to an
article In The Bee of May 20 , signed A. L.
Hunting of Arapahoc.
Whllo I sympathize with Mr. Hunting In
his bereavement as to- his son , who lies
wounded In a hospital at Manila , I dcploro
his course and that of an true Americana
who have seen fit to criticise the adminis
tration's course In regard to the Philippines.
Some are honest citizens , some arc doubtless
the whines of wily politicians who seek to
throw any obstacle in the way of Mr. Me-
Klnley and his brilliant nnd thus far suc
cessful administration , Industrially , finan
cially and politically ,
Mr. Hunting saja that he has voted for
every republican from Lincoln to McKlnlcy.
For this Mr. Hunting deserves credit , also
for enlisting In the war for the union In
1S81 and ' 62 , as my father nnd three brothers
did. Also , like Air. Hunting ? I am proud
of It.
A favorite expression of all antl-ojcpnnslcn.
Ists , as well as Mr. Hunting , Is the oft-
quoted passage : Governments derive their
Just powers frcm the consent of the gov
erned.
Why not carry this phraseology to a log
ical conclusion and ECO whore it will start
j ' nnd finish ?
! What right had the white man to take
the country from the Indian through bribe
or bayonet ? What condition do we find
him In today ?
Why did Mr. Hunting enlist and fight to
drive the seceding states of the south Into
the union ; for , In my opinion , what Is sauce
for the. geese Is sauce for the gander.
Governments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed ,
If Blli'y Bryan Is successful as another
John C. Calhoun In making the west bellevo
I the east Is Its enemy , ns ho often haa stated ,
and that the west has a right to secede , as
the south did In 1861 , then Mr. Hunting will
not lend a helping hand 'to ' drive them back
i as ho did when ho enlisted In 1861-2.
| Then from this standpoint wo arc only as
a government an aggregation of states. This
'bolng ' so , It borders on the doctrine of squat
ter sovctelgmty. Any sta-to has a , right to
secede and establish a government of Its
own nnd so on until wo have forty-live gov-
cinments and more territory to hear from.
As there IS only one step from the ri
diculous to the sublime , let us reflect a mo
ment on what President Lincoln told the
delegation of preachers which waited on him
at the beginning of the war , whoso spokes
man , among other things , reminded Presi
dent Lincoln he hoped the Lord was on our
side. But President L'ncoln reminded them ,
the preachers , ho was not so much concerned
i about the Lord being on our side as ho was
about us being on the Lord's side. To say
this government and Ha people have not
ibeen ruled by the hand of the Omnipresent
would bo acknowledging that biblical history
In regard to Moses and the children of
Israo. ' was a myth and Ingersoll was the
wisest man of the present nnd past genera
tions cf men.
It seems a little singular that all the
great Inventions nnd discoveries that have
been made for the use of mankind were
left for' the Americans to bring out ; this
too , In the face of the fact that other nations
have stumbled over them for centuries and
centuries.
No other form of government except the
American can enjoy the blessings of these
Inventions nnd discoveries. No other form
of government can consume so much of the
world's products. No other people under
any other form of government can enjoy the
blessings that wo do.
The spirit of liberty Is n potent factor as
to higher wages. ( Higher wages mean the
consumption of more of the necessities of
everyday wants of all ttio people , which
leads to a higher plane of civilization
whether hero or in Europe. Beginning
with England , France , Germany , Belgium ,
Italy , Russia and ending with China the
cplrlt of liberty Is graded and wages , too.
Canada on our north with n territory larger
than the United States and a population
less than the great state of Now York
la an object lesson. Cllmato of course Is
n drawback , but not the greatest by any
means. Mexico on our south has and Is
drawing Inspirations from us and drifting
to a higher piano of civilization year by
yea. ' . It seems only selfishness or cowardIce -
Ice forbids the American , I care not who
ho Is , from reaching out the tiand of fel
lowship and conferring the blessings of lib
erty that iho enjoys under the American
government when opportunity presents It-
Bclf as It does Porto Klco , Cuba and the
Philippines.
I hardly ibellevo Mr. Hunting or any
other true American will say to Mr. Mc-
Klnley : "Call off our army and navy and
let the Philippines establish their contem
plated goveinmont throughout the islands. "
Then why all this hue and cry of antici
pation , when wo take into consideration the
circumstances surrounding the battle of
Manila ? The government found Itself , cither
by accident or providence , in the position It
now occupies nnd time will right the
wrongs , If there bo any , or uphold the right
for human liberty. Whether at home or
abroad wherever our flag has been raised
In the interests of humanity , I care not
whether it ho for and In the interests of
tbu slaves of our own states or those po
litical slaves lately of Spain's. In justice
to the southern states , however , I will say
It took IIvo years to drive them back Into
the union. I bellevo It will take ten years
to drlvo them out of It now , judging from
the past and present responses to patriot
ism from not only the now generation , but
from these that took part thirty-eight years
ego to destrry our union. All honor to
these who uideld our flag , no matter when
or where. ' S. C , MALIN.

Five Hundred Modern Woodmen of Amer-1
lea are packing their grips and making ar
rangements tonight for a trip to Kansas
City , where they -will attend the meeting
ot the head camp. They will leave the
Burlington depot at 9:30 : , traveling on a
special train , which they expect to arrtvo
In Kansas City Thursday morning at 6:30. :
A band will accompany the excursionists ,
who will remain In "the convention city until
Friday night. Flvo teams ot Foresters
wfll accompany them to compete in the
drills which will occur during the meeting
ot the head camp. It Is expected that Ne
braska will send very nearly 1.000 Modern
Woodmen to the meeting as hundreds have
reported their intention to attend from
other oltloa.
The arrangements for the excursion have
been In the hands of the Twin City promo
tion committee , consisting ot three repre
sentatives from the eleven Omaha and South
Omaha camps. C. 11 , Rlopen is chairman ,
E. F. Bralley secretary , and A. H. Vosburgh
treasurer. The committee succeeded In get
ting a rate of | 3.50 for the round trip from
the railroads. The- train will return over
the Missouri Pacific. C. H. Rlcpcn , E. F.
Bralley , W. H. Beck , H. Schonstadt and B.
D. Miller will have charge of the train and
see that no Neighbor Is left by the wayside.
-Many members of the eleven Omaha and
South Omaha camps will accompany the ex
cursion. H Is estimated that Douglas
county alone contains 3,000 ot the 35,000
Modern Woodmen In the state. The Omaha
lodges are : Omaha camp , No. 120 ; Maple
camp , No. 345 ; South Omaha camp , No.
1095 ; Beech camp , No. 1451 ; Magnolia camp ,
No. 1833 ; B. & M. camp , No. 2722 ; Mcchants'
camp , South Omaha , No.1085 ; Nebraska
camp , Bohemian , No. 4771 ; Omaha camp ,
Hebrew , 4914 ; Hickory camp , No. C128 ; Su
preme camp , No. 0973. Five of these camps
will have a. team of Foresters , each com
posed of eighteen men , in the drills at
Kansas City. These teams are from Omaha
camp , Np. 120 , Beech camp , No. 1454 , B. &
M. campl , No. 2722 , Hebrew camp , No , 4944 ,
and South Omaha camp , No. 1095. The
teams have 'been ' drilling hard , and the pre
cision with 'which they maneuver has caused
considerable enthusiasm among the Modern
Woodmen who expect their favorites to
malic a fine showing at Kansas City.
Nebraska Woodmen are looking forward
to a great tlmo on the trip 'because they
are auro the state will have tbo best repre
sentation It has ever enjoyed at a meeting
of the head camp outside of Nebraska. They
propose to advertise the state and the
Greater America exposition In every way
possible , the exposition having furnished
them with an Immense amount ot advertis
ing matter , badges and souvenirs for dis
tribution among the throng ,
Bealdcn the delegates from the state nnd
thoao who will look on , Nebraska will bo
represented In the highest ranks of the
order. A. R. Talbot of Lincoln , member
ot the Supreme Board of Directors , Dr. F. S.
Ashby ot Fairmont , head -physician for
Nebraska , Dr. A. G. Faulkner of Lincoln ,
state deputy , and the district deputies , G.
R. Klmmol , Lincoln , W. E. Cady , Omaha ,
W. H. Hogucwood , Wayne , Ed J. Klngmon ,
Albion , J. E. Shears , Central City , and 0.
M. Chrlstner of Crete , will bo in the great
audience. Mr. Talbot and Dr. Ashby hope
for re-election to the positions they occupy
and the fine record both have made Is urged
In their support. Dr. Blair of Wayne , liow-
ovcr , is nnxloun to succeed Dr. Ashby aa
head physician , and expects to make a hard
fight for It. J. W. Houdor of Omaha has
received a number of endorsements for ap
pointment as state deputy , but ho has a
strong opponent In Dr. Faulkner who longs
to fill the position -for another term. The
doctor has also been endorsed by several of
the Omaha lodges , so the Omaha delegation
will bo divided when it comes to the ap
pointment.
