OOT.B13 SIW.JCTT GEO. B. TZBCHUCK. Subscribed In my presence and aworn to Wore me this 81st day of March, A. D. ,v GEORGE RASMUsdEN, W'U Notary Public. The Belgian uprising: Is liable to send ap Brussels carpet- It Is hoped that the report of the pro posed organisation of a .cotton-yarn trust Is only a yarn. The Chicago Tribune remarks face tiously that ."nobody has ever accused Mark Ilauna of baring rheumatism of tho Intellect" One of the worst things about the Beef trust Is that It will not trust any body for beef. Kpot cash Is the only thing that talks. . When this cruel Boer war Is over Tommy Atkins will come marching home again and the Missouri mule will go on a vacation. If the asset currency reformers In congress persist In their efforts to bring about the retirement of the greenback they will strike a snag. There is a well-defined suspicion broud that, the non-partisan school re formers made a tie-up last, fall to re tain Superintendent Tearse In his Job Just one year longer. An airline railroad from Omaha to Los Angeles by way of Salt Lake would be very acceptable, but we fear there Is too much hot air In that scheme for It to materialize for several years to come. The. republican advice. "Don't eat," Is cot difficult to follow la the Uaya of trusU. World-Herald. The democratic way of supplying free food at free trade soup bouses may be ' more congenial If not less difficult Vnless all signs fall Secretary Shaw u ne compelled to do some v I corona house cleaning In the supervising archi tect bureau. The country demands that government buildings should be planned and built on business principles. The two South Omaha councllmen who are stalled In their aspirations by a tie vote refuse to draw straws. It Is a little too early Jn the season for using straws In South Omaha. Hot punches are still the order of the day. Political wiseacres at Washington are reported to have fixed their minds' eye on JOhn M. Thurston as the successor of Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock. That forecast was evidently prepared .Just before the clock struck 12 on the night of March 31. It looks very much as If General Kltcheuer .had started out rainbow chasing when he opeued the doors of Tretorla for the Boer chieftains under a flag of tiuce. The Boer commandoes and commanders keep right on fighting, whlto flag or yellow flag. Formal announcement of the post ponement of the St. Loula exposition until 1004 will be made on or before the first day of May. Former Senator Carter, chairman of the National Expo sition commrVslon. Is billed to break the news gently, but fearlessly, that an ex tension of . twelve mouths will be granted to the inemliers of the commis sion and other, beneficiaries on the ex position pay roll. Governor Ayeoek of North Carolina, t who attended the Charleston exposi tion ceremony during the recent visit of President Roosevelt Is quoted as say ing: "I like Rooserelt He reminds me of a great big, strong, vigorous boy. He Is the kind of a man you wonld like to ask to take a drink." This exclamation la" attributed tor Governor Ayeook'Just before the governor of North Carolina and the governor of South Carolina had saluted each other on tho way to 'the TUlmaa dispensary. the ATi-iNJcrrcTioir bill. The report recently made by the chair man of the house Judiciary committee, Representative Ray of New York, In favor of the bill to limit the meaning of the term "conspiracy" and the use of In junctions. Is regarded as a victory for or gAntr,cd labor, which has been working zealously to secure such legislation. The report says that "we discover nothing In this proposed legislation that crip ples government. Imperils capital, per nilts restraint of Interstate commerce or merits denunciation." It shows that the main effect of the measure will be to add an amendment to the Sherman anti-trust law whereby the contracts nnd combinations forbidden In that act shall not Include agreements between laborers to further trade disputes with employers and to release them from the danger of restraint by Injunction. The report holds that as things now stand the operation of the law Is severe npon those who engage In such disputes, since a case of conspiracy may be built up under it on very flimsy pretenses It is further held, however, that the effect of the proposed legislation Would be to permit men In largo bodies em ployed by railways doing an Interstate business to combine to quit work. If by so doing they do not directly endanger life or property; that It will have no application to . Instances . where an actual Interference with Interstate com merce Is probable, and least of all will It license the commission of any crimi nal act or unlawful interference with lawful business. One specially good feature of the measure, It Is pointed out is In the fact that It tends to restrict an overgrown use of the equity process. It Is urged that there Is no unwisdom or danger in prohibiting the Issue and use of injunctions and restraining orders In cases of mere contracts, combina tlons and agreements existing only on paper when no unlawful or criminal act has been threatened. As interpreted In the report the bill, if enacted Into law, will not impair the Injunctive power of the courts of the United States in the case of acts which have restrained or may restrain Interstate commerce. It leaves the courts to determine the effect of any and all acts under their general power and does no more than to restore the law of conspiracy to the point where It stood prior to the passage of the Sher man anti-trust law and the rendering of the decisions under it which are complained of by worklngmen. It the bill becomes a law, In labor disputes between employers and em ployes it will not be a crime merely to make a contract combination or agreement to do an act which may be in restraint of Interstate or foreign commerce, if such act when committed by one person acting alone would not be a crime, and no injunction or restrain ing order will lawfully Issue based solely on such contract, combination or agreement The Industrial commission said in its report that it seems desirable that statutes should be enacted defining with greater precision the acts of work lngmen which are permissible, or which are civilly or criminally unlawful. In order that a clearer Indication of the llmlta of the Injunctive process may be given. This Is what the proposed legis lation Is Intended to do. GREAT BRITAIN'S WAR M.X.PKXSES. Great Britain Is piling up debt at a rapid rate and the burden of taxation weighs heavily upon the people. The chancellor of the exchequer estimates the deficit for the present year at over $134,000,000, to which must be added from $80,000,000 to $85,000,000 for war expenditure. While estimating a war revenue for the year from taxation amounting to more than $728,000,000 the chancellor of the exchequer an nounces that the government will bor row $160,000,000, so that its financial requirements, it appears, amount to nearly $000,000,000. Another penny on the pound sterling has been added to the Income tax, but what Is likely to meet with more or less popular opposition Is the proposed duty on flour, which although only 5 pence on the hundredweight, will doubt less be regarded with disfavor by a con siderable portion of the people. It Is another departure from England's free trade policy, which, however. Is not at present so eealously defended as In former years, there being a pretty strong trend of sentiment against main taining the policy, on the ground that It operates to the Injury of both the manufacturing and agricultural inter ests. The burden that the British gov ernment Is piling upon the people will not be removed for generations and It may well be questioned whether the acquisition of the territory of the South African republics la worth the money cost to soy nothing of the great loss In life. LKAHB1XQ VF AMERICA. Some of the Englishmen who have come to this country to Investigate in dustrial and labor conditions have be come convinced of the necessity for radical changes In the conditions In England, If that country is to main tain Its place among the great manu facturing nations. One of the British labor leaders who recently returned from a visit to this country Informed his constituents that he had been thor oughly, cured of his antl-machlnery prejudice and would in future advocate the use of machinery Wherever It was possible, as necessary to Great Britain's competition with the world. He lauded the freedom of the workmen of the United States to do the utmost amount without interference from their trades unions. In England the trades unions have discouraged the use of the best ma chinery. The object and effect of trade unionism In that country Is to reduce every man to a dead level of mediocrity, whereas in the United States free play Is given to individualism" and trade unionism alms to develop each man's abilities to the utmost. While her every man la allowed to' do his bast the policy of th British unions is to restrict output by narrow rules nnd drag down the average production to the level of the least competent work man. There Is no doubt that this has been very Injurious to British Indus trial Interests and now that the nisnu fscturers of England and the working nieh also are learning how much su perior Is the American method of using the best machinery and allowing those who operate It to do their utmost our system Is likely to be adopted, though the change will probably be gradual and slow, since the English workmen will not readily surrender a policy they have so long adhered to. THREE VERT BLACK CROWS. The veracious correspondent of the Lin coin Journal has struck a great mare's net in the recent arrest of Martin C Kowu-y, timekeeper for the Armour company of South Omaha. For some weeks past he has been amusing him self with parading Rowley through the Lincoln branch of tho Omaha Fakery as Rosewater's candidate for congress to succeed David Mercer. Now he gives the finishing stroke to his brilliant dis covery In the following fashion: Rowley Is tba South Omaha man who was importuned by Edward Rosewater to make the race against Dave Mercer for congress. Soma weeks ago ha waa very much astonished when Mr. Rosewater visited South Omaha and sought an Intro duction to him. He waa still more astonished when he learned the nature ot Roaawater's mission. He at first declined to accept as serious the approaches of the man who was In search of a candidate. It waa too pronounced a case of the office seeking the man to appear genuine to him. He Insisted that Roeewater was "Joshing" him and protested that he would not cut a very striking figure In congress and de clared that be could not make a speech to cave him. It waa Mr. Rosewater's assur ance that Mercer had been In congress tea years and bad never made a speech that finally prompted htm to listen to the aug. gestion. Then It waa that he agreed to meet Rosewater up town, which he did on several occasions, upon one of which he was Introduced to Seth Cole aa the repre sentative of the water company, and to a railroad man whose Identity la unknown, both of whom added their Importunities to those of Rosewater. But Rowley never yielded. This Is a very entertaining story and would be Interesting If It were true. As matter of fact, Edward Rosewater never sought an Introduction to Rowley, and he never visited South Omaha to talk to Rowley or anybody else In his Interest. As a matter of fact, the whole story that Rosewater Importuned Row ley to become a candidate for congress Is a ridiculous fake. Although Rowley was represented as having been decoyed Into the editorial rooms ot The Be for conference, be never has set foot In the editorial de partment and never called on Rose- water In The Bee building nor any where else. This is only another Instance of the three black crows that were swallowed by a man who bad been so unfortunate as to see something that was black. Omaha Is ambitious to be regarded as nietroiwlltan city nnd Important job bing center. Judged by the so-called "weekly reviews of trade In the whole sale district" that are published by the Omaha World-Herald, Omaha sizes up as a hobo town, in no other city ol Omaha's size could such rot be dished up from week to week without causing remonstrance from Its substantial business men. The following sample bricks from the very latest review of Omaha's jobbing trade speak for them selves: P. C. Corrlgan, an old-line democracy nestor " of tbe Elkhorn ana a prominent retail druggist at O'Neill, was In the city last week visiting his local Jobbers and the Por'ter-Ryerson-Hoobler company. Bob Bacon, better known aa. the hust ler," one ot the house men at McCord Brady'a, Is up in the western part of the ate with a specialty line. A daughter haa been born to Mr. and Mra. C. W. Hlnzle of the McCord-Brady force. Mr. Reed, salesman for the W. J. Broatch Iron company In northern Iowa and South Dakota, apent Sunday at his home In Atchison, Kan. Hon. J. E. Cooley of Belgrade, the hard ware and lumber dealer of that city,, made the hearts of the Omaha jobbers glad last week. Tho popular druggist of O'Neill, P. C. Corrlgan, accompanied by his wife, apent Thursday and Friday In the city selecting aundrlea from the Richardson Drug com pany. What would anybody think of such bogwash In the commercial review of Kansas City, St Paul, Minneapolis or Denver dailies? The spectacular amusement feature t Juarez, Mexico, last Sunday was a tight between a Numidlau Hon and a Mexican bull. Among the thousands of spectators in the ampltheater who wit nessed the brutal and bloody encounter one-fourth are said to have been Amer ican women. It is needless to say that the lion was worsted In the encounter and the lion was not lionized and pelted with boquets by the female portion of the audience. The absence of Governor Savage and his staff was regretably no ticed by tbe representatives of the press. William Jennings Bryan expresses his most emphatic disapproval of the send ing of a special embassy to attend the coronation of ' King Edward. Mr. Bryan is somewhat belated.

Persistence In the present arrangement of continental division seems akin to warfare on reason and progress. COSCERftlXU THE NEW PARTY. Former Senator Alien and the Lonls vllle Yoanisttr, Washington Star. When It waa announced that ex-Senator Allen of Nebraska would attend the no I It leal convention at Louisville, Mr. Bryan's band waa Immediately detected in tbe move ment, and the prediction made that he would In time enjoy the usufruct of tbe new party. It turns out, however, that Mr. Allen did not attend and does not approve of tbe movement. He Is quoted to that effect In a telegram from his home replying io an inquiry on the subject. He Is still a populist and sees no reason for the forma tion of a new party. That his heart la still true to Mr. Bryan may safely be taken for granted. The country needs no freeh assurance on that point Why a new party at this time? The pop unst party grew oat or a series of poor crops and great depression of the agrlcul tural interesta. The farmers, north, south, east and west, fell Into the dumps and fancied that some of the ilia with which they were afflicted could be cured by legis latlon. So, large numbers of them drew away from the two old partlea and choae name for operating on their own hook. iney captured several atates and made a formidable showing over a wide stretch of territory. They were strong enough to impress their views on the democratic party in 18? and fused with that organ! cation In support of Mr. Bryan for prest dent. But there Is little left of tbe populist party today. It aurvlvea with a small mem berablp only In spots. A series of good crops and a rise la prices have undone what a series of poor , crops and low prices ere ated and for a period supported. Tbe great majority of the farmers have more faith now In the weather than In politics. For all that they require of politics tbey are willing to trust , to the old organisations again, and ao have returned to them. Leg islation, they are now convinced, will neither make corn grow, aor advance the price after It has been gathered Into the barn. Who then are these men ao discontented at a time of unexampled prosperity that tbey must ease their minds by the Inaugu ration of a new crusade T What can the matter be? What altuation ia It that neither the republican party nor tbe demo cratic party holds out hope fort 'The re publicans are pledged to sound money, pro tection and expansion, and the democrats to antl-protectlon and antl-expanalon. Money Is plenty, wages are high, business la booming. What else Is necessary tn a oountry like thla to make the average man happy? Can It be that thoae philosophers are right ho insist that there are born kickers? JL. TO FINISH THE BEEF TRVST. A Variety ot Sncceatloaa ot I.lttle Practical VaJae. Philadelphia Ledger. A number of suggestions have been made and aome action baa been taken with a view of compelling the Beef trust to lower its present extortionate cbargea for meats snd at tba same time break the power it so arrogantly exercises. Evldeacee of Illegal methods of conducting business are being collected in tbta city. New York. Boston, Cincinnati and other polnta for the use of Attorney General Knox In a hoped-for ault against the trust, and In addition, other legal proceedings are threatened. Among the suggestlona la one by the New York World that the publio ceaae for a time to buy meat. It eays. In support ot thla proposition, that If the people would adopt thla policy, aay for a fortnight. "The Beet trust's loss on spoiled stock would be reckoned In millions. A reduction of one half In retail meat aalea In all our large cltlea kept up for a month would utterly crush the combine and give the people meat at the falr'prlces of an unmonopollzed market." Philadelphia Ledger: There Is good. sound sense and reasoning In tba sugges tion of the New York World. There la no doubt ot the fact that the people at large have In this manner the punishment of tbe Beef trust in their own bands a punish ment that could be maae crusning ana permanent It la timely alao. for at no other period ot tba year, according to the health authorities, can human beings so easily afford to abstain from the usual meat diet. In fact, tbey claim that the average health would be Improved at this time by ualng flesh food sparingly. Apart from thla there are abundant substitutes that will supply all tba needs or tbe body as effectually aa beef, mutton or pork. Dr. Cheaton Morris, who haa given years of study to the subject of health foods, de clares that three quarta of milk and a half loaf of bread will enable a man to do a full day's labor of whatever aort he ta accus tomed to. By thla be doea not mean to Im ply that a person ahould necessarily con fine himself to the plain milk, but that It might also be used In combination with other foods, like rice, potatoes, toaat and corn mesh It would be difficult to conceive1 of a means more effective to bring the Beef truat to a realizing sense that the people have In a meaaure the power of regulating prlcea and of resenting extortion. As rang aa the grasping combine finds consumers will buy and content themselves with complaining of excessive prlcea, It will feel no concera and maintain Its stand, but tha moment money eeaaea to now Into tbe coffers there win be a rush to lower tbe acale of prlcea to one that Is more rea sonable. The suggestion la well worth trying and If, aa pointed out, only one-half the population refrains from buying meat, tba punishment of the trust le reasonably certain to have a salutary effect Abraham Lincoln , Rors February 12, ISM; Isaof srited President March 4, lU; Died AffU IS. IMS. The following remarkable political tribute to Abraham Lincoln waa composed In a foreign land and waa published In a comic paper. During tbe civil war Tom Taylor of tbe London Punch bad made the great president a target for his ahafta of ridicule, and had poured forth an unceasing stream of sarcaatlc detractloa In prose.

Cornish, an attorney of that ctty, will be a candidate for the republican nom ination for congress to succeed Congress man Mercer. Plainview Republican: W. XV. Young of Stanton, at present state senator from thla district, is being groomed for the congres sional nomination. He ta certainly one of the ablest politicians In this district.

Sidney Telegraph: If Hon. H. M. Grimes la a candidate for congress In this district ha will have a host of warm supporters In the convention. If he receives the republican nomination he will be one of the strongest candidates that haa ever asked the suffrages of the people of the big Sixth. He la rec ognlzed as sn sble lawyer, a conscientious district Judge and a man who can be trusted In any position he may be placed, Pender Republic: Senator W. W. Young or 8tantoa county Is tbe latest entry Into the race for congressional honors In the Third district. Mr. Young ia an ahls lawyer, an eloquent apeaker and proved to be such a good vote getter aa to carry a strong democratic district two years sgo by good majority. Should he secure the nomination, which is being sought by a large number of able men In different parts of tbe district he will prove a terror to Congressman Robinson, when the latter cornea limping and halting Into the ring to run his third and final race for congress. Leigh World: We have been given au thority this week to snnounce that W. W. Young or Stanton la a candidate for con gress In this district subject to the action ot the republican congressional convention.

W. W. Wood or Rushvllle. Neb. Mr. Wood la one or tha most energetic and able attorneys In northwest Nebraaka and his ripe experience and marked ability, combined with his unflinching courage and clean record, would make him an Ideal candidate for congress. We have not in any way consulted Mr. Wood with regard to hla being a candidate, but we believe he would accept a unanlmoua call to duty. Th east end of th big Sixth baa generally nut forth th candidates for this district. and as they ar now by no means sur ot uniting on a winning card, and ss our material Is good, why not let th wst ena of th big Sixth put up tbe winning maa. Let ua try it. W have every chaue of winning. Wayne Herald: Senator W. W.

Ill-fate, lll-feellna. Ill-reoort. lived through, And then he heard the hisses change to cneers. The taunts to tribute, the abuse to nrslse. . And took both with the same unwavering mood; Till, as he came on light from darkling oaya. And seemed to touch the goal from where ne stood, A felon hand, between the goal and him.
