While the outlook Is promising for
the success of the new Cuban admin
istration, many thoughtful Americans
will wait for demonstration. If Cuba
can get through a second presidential
administration, it will be in position
to consider Itself as possessing a stable
government. Until that is done there
will remain doubts in this country and
abroad. If the small republic again
proves Itself incapable of self-gorern-men.t,
annexation would be inevitable,
as the Vnlted States could not afford
for a third time to let the islanders
make the experiment of playing with
their liberties and then throwing them
away.
WHEX DOES IT TAKE EFFECTt
A number of interested parties are
trying to start a discussion as to when
the supreme court enlargement amend
ment to the constitution", raUffed by
the voters of Nebraska at the last elec
tion, takes effect.
There is nothing in the amendment
itself to say when it shall become op-

in favor of it. For practical purposes,

No reasonable argument can be of

man who purchases a revolver for the

his intention to use it, if occasion de

or environment furnish a reasonable
excuse for his possession of such
weapon he can have no objection to
the fact of hla possession of such
weapon being known. It he has no
such good excuse, there is every reason
why the police should know of his
purchase of a weapon. Men who use
murderous weapons change from place
to place and weapons may be traded
but the proposed plan would do much
toward checking the abuse of pistol

crimes. As long as deadly weapons

RISE AMD FALL, OP A REFORMER
Popnllst Leader Rdmlalrn as a Politi
cal Romanclat.
For the ensuing four months the ranks of
reform by hot air In Nebraska will be de
prived of the services of the distinguished
leader and exemplar, James H. Edmlsten.
n many former state and national cam
paigns Mr. Edmlsten camped on the firing
line, fighting for the plain people with xeal
and devotion worthy of the cause. When
victory perched on the populist banners
and the pie counter was within reach he
was Jlmmy-on-the-spot also, securing as
his reward the post of state oil inspector.
The glow of his enthusiasm for the plain
people gave out "nary a blink," while the
oil can lasted. In the nature of things.
coupled with the perverrity of voters, the
republicans rushed the can out of his grip,
some eight years ago, and Mr. Edmlsten
turned his talents to Nebraska land, the
fertility of which commanded his esteem
and admiration.
Out In the North Platte land district.
where every prospect pleases and only land
grabbers are vile, Mr. Edmlsten observed
how easily cattle kings and their Imitators
Bcooped ln vast areas of territory for a
song.' He noted how 'anxious Uncle Sam
appeared to be to let go a good thing and
he could hot stand by Idly while the myr
midons of plutocracy gorged themselves
with the wealth of the people. Not on
your tintype. As a defender and protector
of the masses against the greedy classes.
Mr. Edmlsten Jumped Into the game and
scooped ln a few sections for himself.
Somehow and somewhere his wires became
crossed with Uncle Sam's current and he
received a severe shock when required to
come Into court and explain how he caught
on to tha land. The explanation did not
satisfy a grand Jury, an Indictment was
found against him, to which he pled guilty
and received a slice of the penalties so
frequently dealt out to land grabbers In the
last four years.
Mr. Edmlsten was chairman of the pop
ulist state committee of Nebraska during
the - campaign of 1900. As Mr. Bryan's
champion in that memorable contest he
displayed marvelous skill in forecasting al
leged achemes republicans were putting up
to wrest the state from the pops. It was In
this fierce fury that Mr. Edmlsten'a Imag
ination worked overtime and developed his
varied talents as a man of letters. The
first of the letters was drafted Just before
the final charge and partook of the nature
of confidential instructions to patriots In
the trenches. It is a unique, impressive and
highly diverting epistle read by the light
of later events. A copy follows;
LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 1. My Dear Sir:
Our committee Is In possession of facts
that show the various counties throughout
the atale ure being covered with voters
coming ln from other states who will
doubtless attempt to vote at this election.
It Is believed many of these are brought
In through the efrorts of the republican
party, having received free transportation
and money fur expenses, etc. The indica
tions are now that this vote will be exceed
ingly large. '
I have prepared a compallnt In blank,
and likewise a warrant for the arrest of
any person who may vote Illegally, and
you will find the aame enclosed In this
letter. Please use great discretion ln work
ing this plan to prevent those who would
attempt to vote, and in your Judgment are
not eligible, by producing tne complaint
and warrant In blank, and say to Ilium
that you will place them under arrest If
they vote. In this way we believe we can
prevent many Illegal votes from being
emit. 1 will give this matter to the press,
AIbo, so It will have wide circulation and
the republicans will understand how you
are prepared to arrest any man who may
thus attempt to cast Ills vole, where evi
dence is In existence that he is not en
titled to do so.
Take a firm stand in your actions, and
exercise care that we do not drive voters
f rem us. Our committee will give you any
necessary support. It would be well for
you to council with a few of your trusted
friends relative to all mattera, and act
accordingly. 1 believe we shall win If an
honest vole can be had. Very respectfully,
J. H. EDM13TEN,
Chairman.
simply fooled out of it, and the committee
man is using It all himself.
In this way 1 think you can get a number
of republicans to fighting eacrt other on
account of unfair division of the money.
You may be able to get some votes m
this way on account of tne disposition man
ifested on the part of tne republicans In
only permitting the precinct committeeman
to distribute the funds. This 1 know Is
true ln a number of precincts, and have
no doubt but the same is true In yours.
Plcaso use this to the best of advantage.
Very respectfully, J. H. EUM1STEN.
The letter referred to In number two, in
tended for public consumption, reads as
follows:
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 2, 1900. My Dear
Sir: As one of your workers In our cause,
we desire to say to you that we are ex
ceedingly anxious to carry the tte for
Mr. Bryan and the entire slate ticket. ou
doubtless are aware that the republicans
are making use of money ln ever voting
precinct ln the state. 1 have absolute prool
of tills, and they have a quantity which Is
unlimited. X tell, you money will be ln cir
culation and In the hands of their men
everywhere. Now, it has been setit lo
your county and each precinct committee
man Is using It r putting it down In his
own pocket. Watch this with great care.
We believe we shall win In the contest,
but the greatest difficulty we have to con
tend with is the Immense amount of money
in tha h-nri- of tho onDosillon at this time.
Please write me fully as to what Is being
done' and how you are preparea 10 meet
,h, same. Very respectfully.
Mr. Edmlsten s political raxxle-daxale did
not pan out as expected- His skill, as
letter writer, however, needs no further
testimony, and his Involuntary retirement
from the game romovea a source of political
gaiety that, will be sadly missed by his
fellow Bryanlte reformers In Nebraska.
