The game of "Red and Black" is more exciting on the banks of the Neva than at Monte Carlo, even If the rules are not so well known. With but 12 per cent of the cadets at Annapolis failing to pass the examina tion.;1 it is evident the students d'd not devote the entire time to hazing. Chinese delegates visited Niagara Falls none too soon if they desired to see all that the United States Is willing to sacrifice for commercial purposes. The appearance of Horace G. Burt conjointly with R. B. Schneider at the national capitol reminds us of Mary's little lamb whose fleece was white as snow. The best that can be hoped Is that the new British battleship Preadnaught will find Itself antiquated before being called to train its guns upon a hostile force. With nn epen winter in every section of the country, the prospect of an an thracite coal strike is not as appalling as It might be. Probably the coal bar ona want to recoup themselves. j It is announced that Governor Mickey contemplates a forced march on the Standard OU octopus.

If the Iowa legislature succeeds In abolishing railroad passes, Iowa law makers end favored Iowa lawyers may have to procure their passes on this side of the river so as to travel on interstate transportation. Tom Patterson might recall the time when Colonel Bryan went post haste to Wash'ngtou to rake up tbe necessary democratic votes Insuring tbe ratifies tlon of the treaty of peace with Spain without waiting for the aid or consent of any democratic caucus. Net earnings of the United State Steel corporation for the year 1903 were nearly $120,GO0,00O, as against $73,000, 000 for the year 1004, au increase of nearly 50,0X).000. With such varia tions as this, la It any wonder that tbe stock market goes up and down In a way that only those on the inside can reap big profits! the uxcitoirtfKD potextatk. There never was a time in the history of the world when public opinion, the uncrowned potentate before whom em perors, popes' and parliaments Iww In humble submission, was as irresistibly potential as it Is today. A most striking proof of this fact was furnished by the passage of the Hepburn railroad rate bill, which passed the house of repre sentatives by the phenomenal vote of 340 to 7. The almost unanimous en dorsement of railroad regulation by the representatives of all political creeds is by no means to be ascribed to a com plete revolution of economic views on the part of representatives who have heretofore opposed Railroad regulation. In reality It Is due to the conviction that there U such an overwhelming popular demand for such legislation as would make impossible the re-election of any member who recorded his vote In opposi tion. It was the fear of the displeasure of the uncrowned potentate that swayed the minds of scores of congressmen who owed their nomination and seats in con gress to railroud Influence. They dared not brave the well known and enthusi astic sentiment of the people who are behind Roosevelt's railroad rate regula tion policy. Only a few weeks ago many of the men who voted for the Hepburn bill as serted through the press and In the forum that the proposition to confer the rate-making power upon the Interstate Commerce commission was unconstitu tional nnd utterly Impracticable of exe cution unless the commission was made up entirely of railroad experts. It was asserted, moreover, by the opponents of the measure that the exercise of the rate-making powers by anyone was a usurpation of Judicial functions that could only be vested safely in the fed eral courts. But, lo and behold! a change came over the spirit of their dreams, and they fell down on their faces before the great Juggernaut and cried: 'Teccavl! (I have sinned.) I nm now ready to purge myself by casting my vote with the majority and take tho chances of placating my rnllrond chap erons before tho congressional conven tion meets to nominate my successor." OERMAX C0LOZ1ZATIOX- That an ambition for colonization has been strongly developed In Germany Is attested by several circumstances, at least one of which Is of particular in terest to 'his country. This is the prog ress which the Germans are making In the colonization of southern Brazil. Ac coidlng to nn evidently well Informed writer on the subject there are now 500,000 Germans, emigrants and their offspring, resident in BrazlUand although the gnat majority of them have em braced I-. rn a I) lan citizenship their Ideals and ties aro essentially and Inviolably German It Is stated. that In the south ern portion of the country, where they aro thickest, they have become the rul ing element German factories, ware houses, shops, farms, schools and churches dot the country everywhere. German line huperseded Portuguese, the olBciul In up.' ape of Brazil, In scores of communities. A hundred million dollars of vested Intf ret banking, atreet rail roads, electric works, mines, coffee plantations and a great variety of busi ness undertakings claim the protection of the kaiser's flag. A cross-country rail way and a still more extensive pro jected system are in the hands of Ger man capitalists. The country's vast ocean traffic, the Amazon river shipping and much of the coasting trade are dom inated by Germans. There is thus being created a nation of Germans In tbe largest of the South American countries and that Is the avowed purpose of these German colo nizing concerns, which have become lords and masters over 8,000 square miles of Br-ivlllan territory. It Is the object of these territorial syndicates to people their lands with Immigrants w'lllng to be kept German. It Is stated that the various colonizing concerns condu?t a sleepless propaganda through out German-speaking Europe, emitting whole libraries of literature which paint Brazil as a picture of glorious future, always provid'ng that Germans In goodly number go there to develop It. The effort of these concerns are sup ported vigorously by an Influential or g:ulwitlon known as tho German-Brazilian eoclety, with headquarters in Berlin and branches throughout the country. Apart from the colonizing enterprises which are the tangible attempts of Ger mans to secure a foothold in the coun try. German Influence everywhere In Brazil Is actively at work. It does not appear that the German government- Is directly nldlug or encouraging this movement, the chief Incentive to which Is commercial expansion, but the gov ern n ent is .not doing anything to dis courage It, The interest of tho American people In the matter relates to the application of the Monroe doctrine to the develop ment by European Immigrants of the southern part of this hemisphere. It is suggested that tbe German program in Brazil contemplates among other things abandonment or modification of the Monroe doctrine by the United Statea which shall eventually permit economic predominance to be turned to political account without war. There seems to be no doubt that the German colonial nnrtv , ,v has no respect for the Monroe doctrine, but that doctrine will certainly have to i J be reckoned with if In the future Ger man colonization In Brazil should result in erecting a colony there as an Integral part of the German empire. This would appear to be the aim of those who are engaged in the colonizing movement and they are deluding themselves If they think, as some of them seem to do, that they can establish In this hemisphere a German colony in political alliance with the empire and avoid the application of the Monroe doctrine. That doctrine doe not stand lq the way of emigration from Europe to any of the countries south of us, or of the establishment of colonies for any but a political purpose. But colonies created with a view to promot ing In tills hemisphere the establishment of European political Institutions would Inevitably Invite the application of the doctrine. CCMM1XS SEIK1SO A THIRD TERM. The determination of Governor Cum mins to seek another re-election prom ises to moke the contest for the control of Jhe coming republican convention In the Hawkeye state of more than ordi nary Interest. The adoption of the biennial election amendment legislated Governor Cum mins into an extra year in the execu tive chair, making his incumbency at the end of his present term extend over a period of five years, whereas no other governor ever held more than four years, and no predecessor, except the lone dem ocratic governor, ever even asked for the third term. Tbe establishment of a third term precedent in Iowa might conceiv ably have an Influence outside of that state, as it has been the accepted doc trine in all the western states and most of the eastern states in which repub licans are In the majority, to give a gov ernor serving acceptably one term one re-election and then either promote him to some other position or let him step down and out Whether Governor Cummins has a sufficient hold upon hla party to break through all .this tradition is open to question. lie has, it must be admitted, attracted more than usual attention since he became governor by bis spec tacular performances, but most of his appeals to popular favor have been on lines of national legislation or reform rather than state Issues. As governor of Iowa he cannot bring about a revision of the tariff, nor railway rate regulation, nor reciprocity . with Germany, nor the amendment of the. federal constitution so as to provide for the election of sen ators by direct popular vote. On the other hand, his program of state Issues, Including anti-pass legislation, Insurance regulation, the suppression of the lobby and direct primary nominations, are nil matters which he could have and should have taken up and put through during the five years in which he has been at the helm. And whan he asks for two years more in which to carry out these reforms he may have to explain why he failed to carry them out In the five years already given hlra. At the same time It must be con ceded that Governor Cummins has a certain personal magnetism and a plaus ible way of presenting his case that has won him a devoted following, who will undoubtedly support him unswervingly In his quest for a third term. That he will go after It also with his customary vigor and vim may also be conceded. It Is an open secret that the governor sh.'p Is not the limit of his ambition and that Governor, Cummins' desire to keep in the political forefront is rather to pave the way for either the senatorial succession or the position of Iowa's fa vorite son In the next presidential con vention. That Iowa politics will be strenuous from now on until the republican state nominations are made goes without saying. XATIOXAL QUARAXTIXE. There is favorable promise of legisla tion at the present session of congress increasing the powers of the national government In enforcing quarantine, with a view especially to protecting the yellow fever ports. It Is stated that j the southern congressmen are all In fa vor of such legislation. A bill has been Introduced by Senator Mallory of Flor ida providing for increasing the powers and authority of the public health and marine hospital service and practically making it mandatory for the federal government to acquire stations on tbe southern const where it may enforce quarantine laws. At a subsequent meet ing of southern congressmen attention was called to the good work which the federal quarantine officials performed In subduing the epidemic in New Or leans and It is said that most of them were satisfied that the government could give better quarantine protection than the state authorities, whose laws conflicted nnd who sometimes were lax In tho enforcement of quarantine be cause of private Interests. With the southern representatives In favor of national quarantine there should be no difficulty In securing the proposed legislation. Certainly tbe ex perience of last summer ought to be conclusive as to the expediency of placing quarantine regulations, partieu- larly as to what are called the yellow fever ports, entirely In the control of the federal authorities. In such n matter state rights should receive no considera tion. TEE FAH EASTKFX D-VGJfR. Secretary Taft asked the stmate com mittee on appropriations to provide for additional barracks and quarters for the army at or near Manila. He ex plained that the situation In China might at any time make necessary the sending of troops there and It would" be wise J to have the troops near to be used for that purpose. This suggests that the government may have Information re garding conditions In China which has not come to public knowledge. There appears to be no doubt there Is danger of trouble. Tbe statement made by a merchant from Shanghai Just arrived In San Francisco may be somewhat ex aggerated, but there is unquestionably some substantial ground for it That there is a strong and growing feeling of dislike for foreigners among the Chinese people, or a portion of them, Is amply attested, and there is reason to appre hend that It may manifest itself In the form of revolt against the foreigner. It Is the young men of China who are the Instigators and leaders of the rntl- foreign movement and this fact makes It the more dangerous. It Is undoubtedly the part of wis dom for the United States to be pre pared for a possible exigency by In creasing tbe number of troops at Ma nila. Such precautionary action would possibly have a good effect upon the Chinese government, which does not ap pear to be exerting Itself very energet ically to check or repress the growing spirit of revolt among Its people. The Imperial authorities at Teklng are prob ably by no means Indifferent to the situ ation, which It must be presumed they are entirely familiar with, but they are not exerting themselves as zealously and energetically as the circumstances de mand. Of course there will be no action by our government of an aggressive character unless American citizens and interests are so imperilled as to Justify vigorous measures. Diplomacy will be employed so long as It shall seem to be of any avail and conditions will have be come desperate Indeed before American troops are sent into Chinese territory. The indications are that the far eastern danger Is real, but It may be possible to remove It without recourse to aggressive measures. DISHONEST SILVER COIXAUK. In the memorable free coinage de bate held In Omaha in the spring of 1890 William J. Bryan asked his oppo nent to define an honest dollar. The response was: "An honest dollar Is the dollar that will stand the test of the fiery ordeal; the dollar that will be worth as much when It comes out of the melting pot as It was before It went Into the melting pot." A special agent of the Treasury de partment who Is conducting a perpetual search for counterfeit coin bus notified the Omaha banks to be on the lookout for counterfeit silver dollars that have more silver In them than the legally coined standard dollars. Fears are ex pressed by the official detective of coun terfeit coin that Omaha has been flooded with these over-valued spurious dollars because it is almost next to Impossible to spot a counterfeit dollar on Its per ambulations from pocket to pocket and bank to bank. This disclosure Is by no means a startling revelation. It is a matter of notoriety that nobody In or out of a United States mint can detect a counter felt silver dollar of the latest refined quality and quantity without making an assay of the coin. It has been a matter of notoriety for years that the fabrication of counterfeit silver dollars Is the iftnst profitable Industry in Amer ica, next to the fabrication of silver half dollars, quarters and dimes. The coun terfeiters of silver dollars have acquired skill In stamping bogus coin nnd are en titled to some credit for raising the value of bogus sliver coin by adding from five to ten grains of silver to the dishonest dollars of private coinage. The moral of this tale is that the sys tematic issue of debased currency by the United States government Is a profitable source of legalized pillage nnd an Incentive to the Issue of counterfeit coin, which the government sooner or later must redeem with honest money. How many millions, or hundreds of mil lions, will have to be redeemed Is a mat ter of conjecture. The advent of Lincoln's birthday an niversary this week accentuates the timeliness of the movement to make a national park out of the Lincoln birth place farm. This spot has been bought by the publisher of Collier's Weekly, who proposes to transfer It to a board of trustees to hold It as a national memorial on the same plan as Mount Vernon, which was the home of Wash nngton. The project depends upon the public only to the extent of raising a fund to pay for restoring the property and maintaining it as a public park In perpetuity. Those who wish to con tribute or seek more detailed Informa tion should address Clarence H. Mackay, treasurer Lincoln Farm asso ciation, New York City. Another reason why the people' down at Lincoln would prefer to have the State university transplanted from the campus to the farm gradually a little at a time Is that. If It were to be re located all at once, some other towns In Nebraska might enter Into the competi tion and offer to take the Institution off their hands. The brewers of the country want It distinctly understood that they are not opposing the pure food legislation de signed to put nn end to the adulteration of eatables and drinkables. There are too many experts at large to permit adulterated beer to go very far undis covered.

It Is a poor rule that does not work both way ' A discussion of transcontinental freight rates after the Panama canal hag been opened for traffic la sllghy premature at this time, although the In formation furnished by John F. Wal lace, late chief engineer of the Canal commission, makes interesting reading. The fight for the senatorial succession on In Illinois promises the first prac tical tt of the new direct primary law enacted at the lust session of the 1111- nols legislature. The people of that state, however, have taken It In all seri ousness that they are to have the say as to who shall be their next senator, and that when they express their pref erence the legislature will ratify it. The trend In all progressive states Is to bring the choice of United States sena tors closer to the people. With "graft" traced to the throne of Belgium, one argument of limited mon archists is exploded. The hereditary executive is no less inclined to "make hay while the sun shines" than the one elevated to office by the votes of the people. Tom Lawson has reached Washington with his suit case filled with Insurance policies and a trunk full of mining stock certificates which he expects to unload on sporty congressmen while Imparting Instruction on reform insurance legisla tion. Consul Davidson In resigning because he can no longer pay consular deficits out of hts private purse shows that at least one American consul has failed to take advantage of his office to Increase his private fortune. It Is noticeable that .the supersensitive United States senators who balk most strenuously against "dictation by the president" experience no difficulty what ever In accepting dictation of railroad or trust magnates. Quite a number of people who are anxious to secure free transportation to the national capitol are evidently taking advantage of the opportunity" afforded them by the Smoot-smut senatorial in quiry.

Extensive preparations are in progress for a great war between the coal miners and the coal owners In both the anthracite and bituminous fields. Prudent consumers will therefore meet the emergency by put ting money In their purses. But unfor tunately there Is a great multitude- of poor consumers who cannot thus provide for the future, and who will be the chief sufferers from the Impending conflict. PEItSOIHAL AND OTHERWISE. There Is some consolation in the thought :hat Count de Castellane will have to work somebody at home for living. President Fallieres of Frano dabbled In poetry early In life, but quit It In time and retained the good will of his country men. Under tHe revised March code of 8t Louis, policemen are obliged to duck Into unfrequented alleys when a swearing spell comes on. The growing popularity of nightcaps among women shows how rapidly man's exclusive privileges are being absorbed by the conquering sex.

SECILAR SHOTS AT THIS Pl'WIT. Philadelphia Ledger: Religious factions among the Syrians of Nw York met In tuoh heated debate that two wore killed. However, a one belonged to each aid, the relative weight Of opinion remains un changed. Baltimore American: A minister in New York recently declared in the court of a sermon that he would go to hell with a true friend or stay sway from heaven with out him. But, while - so extravagant a statement might impress soma, th majority will continue to hold the test of a true friend, aa on always willing to lend money. New York Post: Theoretically desirable, th separation of church and stat has always been In Frano. Th Inequity of th actual law lies in th faot that th church is, on th whole, mors ragulaud than before. The whole form of parish organisation baa been changed. Churches beoom public property, and are only lasd at discretion to th newly formed associa tions cultuelles. It is the steps preliminary to this virtual confiscation which hav pro voked the present disturbances. Further more, th endowment to be held by par ishes are greatly restricted, and th stat constitutes Itself Judge not only of' th loyalty of an association, but of Its ortho doxy. Through th abolition of th con cordat, th stat sacrifice th right of nominating bishop. It Is said that It will ndeavor to maintain this prerogative in ths absence of a treaty with th Vatican. In fine, th church la treated as a suspect whose conduct must be Inquired Into and regulated with a minuteness hitherto re served for tbe unfortunates of the street One may deplore the fact that th Catho lic of Franc do not obey th Biblical Injunction to turn th other cheek; on can hardly wonder that their bewilderment and Indignation occasionally find vent la violence. What the Washington, D. C. Press Says: A GRATIFYING ENDORSEMENT. . The eight annual report of tho Bankers Beserve Life Company, of Omaha, Neb., furnishes ample evi dence that it can justly claim to having scored sub stantial progress and gains during the past year. Briefly summarizing that exhibit of this well known western institution, we find that during 1905 it's premium income of $409,556.50 has been increased by $79,041.50 over that of the previous year, and that during 1905 it approved 1,429 applications, repre senting $3,439,500 of new insurance, a net gain of $2, 005,305 over 1904. But undoubtedly the most at tractive feature to policy holders consists in .having the correctness of this annual statement, and every item of the published schedule of bonds and mort gages owned by the Company, officially certified to by the Insurance Department of Nebraska. As the dividends paid to it's policy holdere during 1905, based on the net premiums paid according to the age of their policies, were equal to from 5 td 25 per cent, Mr. Bascom II. Robison, it's energetic president, his associates, and especially the field forces of the Bankers Reserve Life, (which is already operating in about sixteen states), are therefore practically entitled to the praise bestowed upon them.

The only fair way is for a dealer to have one price, that Is the lowest, and to mark it plainly upon each piano. The Hospe store Is the only one-price store In Omaha. We say it is unfair for a dealer to pay commissions to people who bring or send customers to his store because of a necessity the commission is added te tbe price of the piano and the cus tomer paya it. Sometimes the commission taker offers to give his friend the commission, but no one ever knew a commission taker to give up all of it.
