There will be one common point on which to start future discussion, and that 18 that the tariff has been revised.

The Newman Grove Reporter says that where The Bee credited It with saying something sensible It meant Imply that for once both agreed In the same view. Let It go at that. We have It from reliable If not au thoritative aourcea that the Lincoln Star proposea to "hand a package" to the editor of The Bee on every pos sible occasion. The editor of The Bee will try to survive Of course the fact that the populists ware suddenly seized with a fit of non partisanship at Lincoln at the very same moment that the democrats broke out with the disease la merely coinci dence, These little coincidences be tween the democrats and the populists are qwite common In Nebraska. Tht Extr S""011 pltnk Among other things projected platform planks by the convention purporting to apeak for Nebraska dem ocrats at Lincoln last week la the fol lowing with reference to the proposed amendment to the federal constitution giving congress power to levy an in come tax without apportionment by population : We pledge the democratic party In Ne braska to assist in securing ratification of that amendment and to that end we ask Governor Shallenberger to call a special session of the legislature at an early day that Nebraska, a pioneer In the advocacy of an income tax. may have the honor of being the first atate to ratify the amend ment. For the privilege of having Ne braska recorded as the first state to ratify a constitutional amendment our democratic friends would have Gov- ernor Shallenberger convene the legis lature In extra session. The cost of such a program seems to cut no more figure with them than Its palpable In effectiveness. So far as ratifying the amendment Is concerned, of hastening Its Incorporation into the federal con stitution, it will make absolutely no difference whether Nebraska Is the first to take actioD or the 1hlrty-flfth, because the amendment will not be op erative until ratified by three-fourths of all the forty-six states In the union. Just what a special session of the legislature would cost may only be estimated, and would depend upon Its duration. There are 133 members of the house and senate who draw $5 a day when the legislature Is in session, and, with the secretaries, clerks, door keepers and other necessary attend ants, the salary roll may be placed at 1.000 a day. A ten days' session would cost $10,000 in salaries alone, and to this would have to be added the mileage allowance, cost of supplies and other incidentals. So that If an extra session could do the Job within ten days the taxpayers of Nebraska would be called upon to pay from $15,000 to $20,000 for the empty priv ilege of having the honor to be tbe first state to ratify a constitutional amendment. But if Governor Shallenberger obeyed the instructions of the demo cratic platform makers and Issued his call for an extra session of the legisla ture forthwith, Nebraska still could not have this honor. At leaat two leg islature are in session right this min ute, those of Alabama and Georgia. In Alabama the ratifying resolution has been Introduced and referred to the proper legislative committee, and - as there is no opposition it will be adopted at the first opportunity, and the assent of Alabama will be complete this week, making It the first state on the alpha betical list of states and the first on tbe list of ratifications. While we have no exact Information as to what the legislature of Georgia is doing on the subject, It Is safe to say that Georgia will follow suit with little loss of time and will be the second state to ratify tbe amendment! So the very best that Nebraska could possibly do with an extra session of tbe legisla ture costing from $15,000 to $20,000 would be to get In third or fourth on tbe list of ratifying states. If Governor Shallenberger has noth ing else for the legislature to do but to tickle the vanity of some eminent statesman who has been a pioneer in advocating tbe income tax he will think twice before convening an extra session of the legislature. New Departure in Insurance. Several life insurance companies have announced plans for furthering public health and incidentally extend ing tbe age expectancy of its policy holders. The movement ts subsidiary to and inspired by public and private enterprises. The object la laudable from tbe viewpoint of humanity and possibly profitable from the insurance standpoint. There is reason, however, to doubt whether it comes within the province of Insurance companies and Is likely to be challenged It it In volves the expenditure of any consid erable sum. Life Insurance companies are trusteeships and every expendi ture of these trust funds must be clearly for the benefit of the existing policyholders, and courts have held that such benefit must be direct and clearly shown. Statutes and court de cisions have left little discretion to Insurance company officials in han dling company funds, the fields of Investment even being limited, and If the theory of trusteeship as previously construed Is strictly adhered to the companies cannot go very far with the proposed plan, although in the mean time a number of them are getting much .good advertising at little ex pense. Spanish Republic Proclaimed. The proclamation at Barcelona of a Spanish republic appears to be noth ing more than an effort to find a rallying point for the dlacontented elementa. Tbe previous experiment with a Spanish republic, though It had the advantage of the leadership of the greatest Spanish statesman of recent times, Emello Castellar, was a failure because of tbe Inherent In capacity of the masses to sustain pop ular government. Even a representa tlve monarchy seams to be too ad vanced for a large portion of Spanish people. Viewed In the light of the past, there appears to be little hope for a republic no matter what may be the fate of the present dynasty. The difficulties that beset the gov ernment in Spain are many, even in times of profound peace. Tbe massea are Ignorant, tbe percentage of illiter acy being tbe highest In Europe. ' The people aa a whole -are desperately poor, their main Industry being agri culture In a land not particularly fer tile and farmed in a primitive way as ompared with the more advanced ua- tions of Europe and the t'nlted States. On top of all this la a national debt of over $2,000,000,000, accumulated almost entirely as the result of for eign wars. It Is the oppression of this debt and Its cause which Incites opposition to the war In Morocco, which Is being waged to hold a value less strip of territory wrested from the Moors in 1496. If a Spanish republic could lighten the people's burdens, it would have some claim to the aympathy of other nations, but It holds out no such hope. Enlightened statesmanship may In time raise Spain from the slough of despond, but the leader who can and will has yet to appear. Featurei of the New Tariff. Some features of the new tariff bill are commonly overlooked and others entirely misunderstood. Among the common misapprehensions is that the wool and woolen goods duties were raised above the Dlngley rates, which Is not the case, the only change be ing to lower the duty on tops to give proper proportion to other parts of the wool schedule. The cotton goods rates are perhaps the least under stood when quoted as Increases over the Dlngley rate. The new cotton goods rates are identical with those supposed to have been Imposed by the Dlngley bill and which were, In fact, collected under it for four years after its passage, until the courts de cided that the law did not say what It was Intended it should. Another salient feature, and the one which dominates the purpose of tbe bill is that where Increases have been necessary to produce revenue needed by the government they have been made almost exclusively on lux uries. Census bureau figures show that the total yearly consumption of goods on which increases have been made Is $852,512,525, of which amount $579,850,322 are of luxuries, the largest single Hera being wines and liquors, and the next largest silks. On the other hand reductions were made on articles of which the United States consume yearly $4,978,122,124 worth. On one of the most vital items lumber there has been a reduction all along the line with the exception of shingles, and this last concession to the producer Is explained because the standing cedar timber is practically exhausted, and In the shingles made from stumpage domestic mills could not compete with Canadians sawing from the full trunk. With one exception, the entire Iron and steel schedule has been cut, and this exception is for the salvation of the small independent manufacturer and Industries scattered all over the country. On steel beams and all kinds of ironwork except structural steel punched and fabricated for use, the duty Is lowered. The big steel mills are cut on their product while the hundreds of local workshops all over the country which finish the product for tbe builder get the only increase. Whether the bill Is revision up ward or downward It turns some what on its revenue-producing quali ties. It la estimated that tbe new tariff will produce $40,000,000 more revenue than the present Dlngley law. Of this the corporation tax is de pended on to raise $26,000,000, the Increased internal revenue on tobacco $9,500,000, and customs $4,000,000 additional. To produce this Increase In customs revenues, the Increased duties on luxuries must be several times $4,000,000 to offset the reduc tions upon necessities and raw ma terials. The Czar'i Tour of Europe. The police are familiar with the troubles of the Russian czar, and probably before he returns home the rulers of the leading nations of Eu rope will have the details at first hands. White its troubles are com mon knowledge, yet In spite of re verses In the Japanese war and strife at home Russia Is a power to be reck oned with in European politics, and the Imperial powers are so great that, more than any ruler, the guar la able to commit his country to a policy. With International politics so tan gled, the present visit of the cxar to the rulers of all the northern powera Is credited with a wide Influence in shaping future events. Russia's re lations with Its powerful neighbors, Germany and Austria, have been con siderably strained of late and the two meetings with Emperor William are expected to bring about a better un derstanding. Had tbe czar stopped there, Russia would have been In danger of creating grave suspicions in Great Britain and Prance, with one of which It has an alliance and with the other is making every effort to draw closer together. Diplomatic understandings are so sensitive that the hint of an alliance with Germany without a quid pro quo to France and Britain might lead to serious results. One feature of the czar's tour can not escape the attention of every careful observer and that ts, no mat ter what may be tbe sentiment or In clination of tbe rulers of all the na tions visited, a large element of the population of each lr Implacably hos tile to the Russian government and to Its ruler personally, a sentiment which, if the powers dared, would leave Russia without a friend in Eu rope. A break with one, however, would throw Russia Into the arms of another group and seriously disturb the balance of power. For some Inexplanable reason Sena tor Gore's suggestion that no candi dates be nominated In opposition to tbe progressive republicans who may seek re-election to congress has not been very enthusiastically received by the nonpartisan democrats of Ne braska. Nebraska has three progres sive republican congressmen whose seats are coveted by various budding statesmen of democratic proclivities. Our amiable democratic contempo rary complains when United States sen ators do not listen to tbe voice of the people, and then it complains again when they do listen to the votce of the people. The only way the senators could stop these complaints would be to place themselves subject to orders from our local democratic contempo rary. It does not appear safe even for the royal family to criticise the British methods, as it now appears that the resignation of the duke of Connaught was requested. The navy Is a touchy question and it behooves all In Great Britain to speak of It softly. It is suggested that as tbe Panama canal Is to be neutralized there is no necessity for fortifying it. But that does not accord with the doctrine that the best way to preserve the peaqe Is to be so strong the other fellow is afraid to start anything. It will certainly seem strange to Iowa politicians it the next campaign for republican nominates there should be quiet and free from contests. The fight over the nominations use'S to be about all the excitement Iowa re publicans had. Without any desire to interfere in a celebrated trial now In progress, we would suggest that if every person suf fering from exaggerated ego were sent to an Insane asylum and kept there the present accommodations would not suffice. If the czar of Russia can find no other place where he is wanted he is respectfully Informed the "Welcome" sign blazes all tbe time in Omaha and he can make out that it Is for him if he will come to this hustling city.

A moral or two may be drawn from the report rendered by the gas companies of New York City to the tnltcd States dis trict court concerning the sums rebsted to consumers under the decision upholding the reduction of the ptue of gas from II to NO cents. While the case was In the court 20 cents for earh 1.0,10 feet of gas paid for the impounded, pending final decision.

Mclntyre; Pink roses on her breast. Three layers of chiffon about her waist, rink tights five Inches long. A lot of gauze. "That is enough," continued Attorney Mclntyre, who was Indignant during Miss Hoffman's arraignment In the West Side police court, following her arrest by order of Commissioner Baker. As Mr. Mclntyre wants to get out of town on hla vacation, and as Iawyer Mor ris Meyer, attorney for Wtllam Hammer stein, wants to go away, too, the examina tion of Miss Hoffman was put over until October 4. So the three maids who accompanied Miss Hoffman to court were not put to the trouble of getting her "Spring Song" and "Salome" costumes out of the little bag her brother carried and arraying the actress so that Magistrate Stelnert might judge whether Commissioner Barker was really and properly shocked or only fancied he was.

Besides causing almost dally disaster of some sort to craft navigating its waters a new use is to be found for the tur bulent currents of Hell Gate which sweep around Mallets Point at the rate of five to eight miles an hour on the different changes of the tides. For several weeks experiments looking to the harnessing and utilization of this tremendous water power "have been under way. These experiments are being conducted with the utmost secrecy, and the ma chlnery or motors which are anchored within the current zone are Jealously guarded. At present the experiments are being conducted on private property Just off the southeast end of the government lighthouse, although before the experimen ters get through every available point in Hell Gate will be tried out. The motors used In the experiments are dealgned to try the velocity of the currents, and also to determine both the feasibility of utilizing the water power at that place and what horse power might be expected It Is understood that the experimenters believe that power sufficient to run elec tric light planta for the entire city of New York can be gathered from the waters that sweep through the Gate. This Incident Illustrates the summary disposal of the old man who seta forth In the pitiless wilderness of New York, seek ing a Job. One look at his gray hairs and even the office boy turns him down. A leading city newspaper on Sunday last put one of Ita advertising pages to the free us of unemployed men above 50 years of age, who were out of work. One hundred and sixty-six accepted the offer and Inserted their advertisements. The list would have been much longer had all the members of their class known of the chance. Among them were lawyers without clients, editors without desks, ministers without pulpits or pensions, merchants without business, musicians with no one to pay them for their art; also Janitors skilled mechanics, coachmen, carpenters, nurses, etc. In every case there waa the one conclusion: "The objection to me la my age." The youngest was Juat turned M; the oldest was 75. He had been a bookkeeper and a printer In fgrmer ycara. A merchant who employs many men, in commenting on the above facts, said: "I do not object to an old man because of physical reasons, for many who come to me for Joba are In better figure and stronger than a lot of our young fellows. The trouble Ilea In their mental attitude. "They have their notions, their opinions and their ways of doing things, and It Is hard to get them to change. In too many eases there Is a dogged determination to do things their own way and not as I want them done. "In the case of men who have grown up and become old in this place, there ts no trouble in that respect. They learned the ways of the house when they were young."

Falrbury News: The election of Wil liam Hayward as chairman of the repub lican central committee will have an In spiring effect on the members of the party all over the state.

Tecumseh Chieftain: The republican state convention In Lincoln accomplished a most commendable piece of work when It so unanimously agreed that Hon. Wil liam Hayward of Nebraska City should again head the state committee as chair man. Mr. Hayward is one of the fore most republicans of the country today. and his ability haa been so recognized that he haa held much more responsible position In the party than the one just conferred for a second time. He waa one of the very best chairmen the republicans were ever fortunate enough to select. Young, energetic, able, a natural born organizer, and possessing the confidence and esteem of all Nebraskans are some of the superior qualifications the newly elected chairman possesses.

Yonkera Statesman.. INSULATED BILKINS. Judge. Yes. I like a chap like Bilklns; he's th kind that don't explain When affairs gi) wrqng and give him Jus1 a little toueh of pain. Why, when he's flunked at college. In a bygone freshman rlass. When requested to give reasons, ha Jut answered, "Couldn't pass!"

When his best girl frowned upon him anr. eloped with Billy Jonea. There waa not a bit of whining, there were no heartrending groans. When they asked him for a reason, why the maid should treat him III He Indulged no explanations, but replied. quite simply, "Bill." When he ran for public office, back in eighteen nlnety-nln.
